POTATOES RIGHT IN

Mccarthy Defied Drought by Planting
Crop on Lawn of His Residence.

much fame as did his stanch champions

claims that the equal OF his potato patch
cannot be found in the United States.
Where potato hills are now growing
was last year beautiful lawn in front
Of his residence, at No. 10 Hawley
avenue, one of the most exclusive resi-
dental sections in the city. In the spring
and early summer this year Central New
York suffered from a severe drought,
and for time all crops threatened to be
failures. Sitting on his porch one day
surveying his fine lawn, Mccarthy be-
gan to think. He had tried to get some
farmer to guarantee him his supply of
potatoes for the winter, offering So
bushel, but none accepted the contract
Here was a fine large lawn, and city
water was plentiful. All Mccarthy had
to do was to plant potatoes and water
them with hose. and be Independent
of the dry weather. Another motive also
influenced Mr.. Mccarthy. He lived in a
wealthy section where extravaganza was
the rule. He thought it would be good
bors and teach the young how to meet
an emergency.
He had a farmer pillow and fit the
ground, and he planted it with potatoes.

regularly hoed his patch of 800 hills and
expects crop of about thirty bushels.
Mccarthy is the original Bryan man
in Syracuse. In June, 1900, just before
had been made. he buttonholed Bryan
in New York and secured his promise to
speak in Syracuse. Returning to this
city, ne asked Mayor James K MCGUIRE
and other prominent Democrats for their
help. Mcclure did not want to indorse

paid $500 for it out of his own pocket.
Mcclure then asked for conference

Mayor Mcguire saw that he had better
get busy and with John j. Cummins,
chairman of the Democratic committee

had gone to and fell in line under the

A meeting of the council committee on

ton IN, of the experts reports.
The reports of Messrs Stacy and
pl2iekey do not agree in the particular
that the former calls for complete change
IN the city's system of accounting, while
the latter holds that the present sys-
tenn can be made efficient by attention to
mere matters of detail.
Mr. Stacy yesterday submitted a sup
Elementary report in which he called at
tention to the view of John F. Calder
wood, formerly city comptroller, who de-
clared that the existing system had been
well enough in 1867, but that it had been
outgrown and opened the way for col

Mr.. Stacy finally suggests, in addition to
q proper set of accounts, that there should
be a thorough revision of all accounts
for several years back until the re-
sources and liabilities of the various
funds are completely ascertained.

cigarettes must take out city licenses or
quit selling cigarettes. Such were the or
ders sent out by Chief of Police O'Neill
yesterday. What is more the chief says
he means business.
The chiefs order to his inspectors.
which was printed in the Police Bulletin
last evening. refers to the council action,
and says:
You will instruct the officers detailed
on licenses to give this matter their par
ticular attention Immediately and report
in writing not later than Aug. the num-
Der of places where cigarettes are sold and
also the number of cigarette licenses taken
out up to that date"
1.-The council order seems to have been
overlooked" said Chief O'Neill, but in
view Of the number of things the police
department has to attend to of late it
may be excused if 1t was a trifle dilatory
in the matter. From now on however,
the license officers will be held account
able for all dealers in their districts who
sell cigarettes without a license.
How many people are selling cigarettes
In Chicago without the legal authority
can only be guessed at. The council in
it's order put the figure at from 10000
to 10000" The number who have licenses
is exactly Alb AT 500 each the number
of licenses which ought TO be taken out
would make handsome addition to the
city's income.

KEEPS GUARDS BUSY
TO PROTECT FENCE
Courts Action Has Not Put
End to Troubles at Mime
haha Park.

In spite of tie recent action of the
court in sustaining the Milwaukee
road in erecting an eight-foot fence
around part of its right of way at
Minnehaha park, there promises to be
some lively development within short
time unless the fence is removed
Ever since two of the large panels
of the fence were removed. little
over q week ago, the Milwaukee road
has had a special guard stationed all
along the line of the Enclosure to pre-
vent repetition of the affair.
Not only has the railroad company
had a guard station there, but several
parties who operate refreshment
stands out at the park, whose pro-
ceeds have been considerably swelled
by reason of the existence of the fence.
have also taken a hand in the pro-
tectiVe measures. and are determined
that the fence shall remain.
One of the proprietors of a refresh
ment stand stationed at one end of
the fence stated last evening that his
proceeds had been increased over so
per cent since the fence was built by
reason of the fact that many people
going to the park were compelled to
pass his place. insead of using a short
cut over the railroads right of way.
He admitted that he was paying one
of the guards who was stationed at
his end of the fence every night for
preventing anyone from breaking his
end of it down.
For several nights past a gang of
young men have been seen proving
around the park until after midnight,
and one of the guards for the railroad
company stated last evening that they
kept him and the two other guards
on the jump all the time to prevent
them from getting chance to break
down part of the fence
All the residents of the Minnehaha
district approve of the action of the
railroad company ia erecting the fence,
for the reason that they believe that it
will accomplish much in putting a
stop to much of the rowdyism that
goes on there nearly every night. The
railroad company was appealed to by
many of the residents to erect the
fence, and when the case came up in
court many of them appeared as wit
nesses, sustaining the company.
The railroad company has made
every effort to locate the parties who
cut down part of the fence week or
ten days ago, but it has been unable
to do so. One of the officials of the
road said that, if necessary, he would
double the guard at the park to pre-
vent further destruction of the fence.
as the road had erected it after con-
sidering the plan for several wears.
, upon the earnest solicitation of ma
jority of the Minnehaha residents.
