Among the pretty sofa cushions dis

One of the newest and cutest pillows

Ghetto. OF summer. First
the milk wagon drivers organized and
refused to make more than one deliy-
cry of milk each day Second the ice
trust sent the price of ice beyond the
reach of the poor. These two things
left the babies without nourishing food.
To remedy these evils Mr.. Nathan
Strauss, wealthy New York merchant,
undertook to furnish sterilized milk to
the poor Of the Ghetto Now 10000 bot
ties of sterilized milk are being distrib-
uted daily to the suffering little ones
through this mans generosity. An
other charity undertook the delivery of
ice either at nominal price or entirely
free when the small price could not be
paid.

l0au6TS rs Arthur
Burrage Farwell, the head and shout
ders of the Hyde Park Protective asso-
citation.
A law passed recently by the city
council makes the victory of this asso-
citation complete, and while the great
majority of. the saloons had been closed
through court decisions based on an
old local option law, this latest victory
assures dry" section that covers II
square miles, is the best residence dis
trict of the city, and in which SOC, 900
people reside.
The enactment of this new law, and
the enforcing of the old one, which to-
gether have driven the saloons from the
Hyde Park district, is causing a new
levee district to spring up along Thirty
ninth street. Especially is this true at
Thirty-ninth and Cottage Grove avenue.
Here almost every door is the entrance
to a saloon. and many Of them are not
of the most savory character. The
cable lines running through Hyde Park
from the center of the city pass these
doors. Transfers permitting an hours
stop-over may be procured here, and
the thirsty of the prohibition district
make the most of these opportunities.
1t was in the legal fight over the II
cense for one of the summer gardens in
the Hyde Park section that the decision
was rendered to the effect that the pro-
curing of the consent Of a majority Of
the property owners in block meant
the majority owning property around
the four sides of the square in which the
saloon was located. It was that deci-
sion which put the Edelweiss garden
out of business.

The fact is that there Is no "Mr.

head of the family. and manager of
it's properties. William X. comes near
est to filling the bill; but he, like his
son and his nephews, is more fond Of

another is skinning the salient points

Cornelius shows ability and industry,
but by the folly of his father in cut

man. The Vanderbilt connection is
the greatest single investing family in
the country, but there is no 'Mr Van

Nor has that power been decreased by
the way in which the Standard Oilers,
unvexed by having any pet new trusts

ment features, the attendance will not
run far short of 100000. That means
that about one-sixth of the total pop
ulation of the city may be found in some
one of the numerous gardens within
one day, and they will spend there any
amount, from the bare price of admis-
where to sums running well into the
dollars.
There is one big garden on the West
side that boasts of nearly $4,000 admis-
sions in one day The price of admis-
sion here is but ten cents, but the show
features are all extra after the visitor is
once inside.
The garden where vaudeville features
are the attraction is more popular with
the masses than those which offer a
musical programme. The Coliseum is
the biggest place of the latter kind to
be found in the city, and yet the admis-
sions are small in number compared to
the big West side place where vaudeville
is offered
Every saloon in a residence commun-
ity must have garden attachment II
it expects to draw patronage in the
summer. The garden may be nothing
more than small lot and few artificial
palms to serve as shade for the table,
but with this much the place is sure of
patronage. In the purely German sec
tions this class OF garden is extremely
popular. The citizen who halls from
the Rhineland prefers his beer in a
quiet place, but it must be garden.
The ordinary saloon bar is not popular
in summer.
The Sunday attendance at the sum-
mer gardens is increasing at the rate of
about IL per cent. year. That is about
three per cent greater than the increase
in populations. Such facts prompt the
