FATHER OF HIS CITY
RECORD OF A USEFUL CITIZEN

Andrew n. Green Deserved His Title
Of Father Of Greater New York
Interested In Niagara. Falls Reser.
vation-Helped Plan New York's
Most Valuable Public Institutions.
Press dispatches in annuncing tho
assassination of Andrew H. Green BY
crazy negro continually spoke of him
as "the Father of Greater New York"
Mr.. Green did other things quite as Inn
portant for the benefit of the public.
He was one of the men who helped
Induce the state to purchase Niagara
Falls Reservation, the great park sur
rounding the American side of tho
falls. He has been president of tho
board since 1887. 1t may be Of Interest,"
to know also that he was one of the
executors of the will of Samuel J.
Tilden and Of William B. Ogden. Tho
following regarding the way in which
he obtained the name of Father OF
Greater New York" Is from the Buffalo
Express:
His Niagara Falls associations were
typical of his life work. He held many
public offices. but mostly without pay.
He was neutrality-suspicious. the
very best in the state-of that broad
public spirit which seeks the good Of
ones fellows, the welfare of posterity,
and finds the dearest reward for his
labOrs in the knowledge that he has
done or has helped to do good work.
In the metropolis where he lived they
called him 'the Father of Greater New
York" He was proud of that title
and he had earned it. So long ago as
1868 he worked out plan for the
ton, Of ,tk - Now
and Brooklyn and surrounding terri
tory. When finally, in 1897, consolida-
tion was brought about, it was found
that the plan of government which
Andrew H. Green had drawn up almost
thirty years before was the most work.
able one that could be devised, and II
is the plan under which New York is
governed to-day. As he was one Of the
prime movers in the establishment Of
the state park at Niagara Falls, 30,
many years before, he was one of those
who had most to do with the creation
Of Central park, New York. He be-
came the first president and executive
officer of the Central Park Board, and
held that office during the entire for
native period, 1857 to 1870. He plan
ned the consolidation Of the Astor.
Lenox and Tilden libraries into tho
New York public library and became
one Of its trustees. He originated the
plan Of the Metropolitan Museum and
Art and became one of its first trustees.
He originated the plan of the Amerf-
can Museum Of Natural History. He
was the founder and president Of the
New York Geological society This II

hoarse mutterings, their murderous
glances were of no use: they needed
but to look at Crystal to read death,
pitiless and instant, In his face.
Cast off, up sail, and away with
ye!" roared Crystal. III you're not
astern of us in minute I'll fire into
you and sink you alongside"
Those of the men who had their
senses hoisted the big lug. Grindal in
the sternsheets grasped the tiller. The
water stopped greasily betwixt the
two craft, and the long-boat which,
fair height of side. glided off, blew
slowly on to the briggs quarter, then
astern, number of her people sbak-
ing their clenched fists at Crystal, and
bowling oaths and curses at him in
ecstasies of helpless wrath.
$50 amen to Them" said Crystal.
And after casting another look at the
boat, and sweeping the horizon with
his vision, he bade the fellow who
had read the newspaper on the cap
stan to keep a lookout, and heavily
sank down the companion-steps.
Just as he entered the cabin, Pope's
servant came out of his late masters
berth.
"Have you stitched him up?" says
Crystal.
Hes ready for launching, SIR" was
the mans answer.
The fellow knowing Crystal and
fearing him had worked nimbly, and
there, secreted in a hammock, on the
floor of the berth, with a coupls of
shot secured in the clews at the foot

Butler case still continues to be the

father Of the little boy, says:
THE doctor said my boy had disease
of the spinal cord, and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur.
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want to run from the
house. saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After We had
tried everything else, read an adver-
tisement Of Dodd's Kidney Pills as .

for his restoration to good health"

lmmensity Of London.

Does anybody know London. even
along one single level Of its multitud-
nous planes OF interest?
No bank manager knows all the
banks. No cabman knows all the the,
aters and places Of entertainment. No
policeman knows all the police, the
county and the coroners' courts. No,
news agent knows all the publications.
No fiddler knows all the bands. No
gourmet knows all the restaurants. No
postman knows all the postofiices.
There Is too much Of London to be-
learned in an ordinary lifetime. Re-
porters who have been visiting every
corner of the metropolis for years find
II necessary to look up their directions

are that they will be In doubt as to the

prayer. Nothing of that Sort
The stern window was opened, that
window through which a former own
er OF this brig of curious adventures
had thrown himself into the sea to es-
cape the gibbet.
Pick him up with me-" continued
Crystal.
They lifted the body. bore it to the
window. and. pointing it feet foremost,
dispatched 1t to the ooze.
Thus ingloriously terminated the ca
reer OF Captain Pope. An Irishman of
a hundred crimes. of many villainous
qualities. of many generous and ro-
mantle virtues.
Now 1t SO happened that when the
frigate that had chased the Gypsy re-
turned to the two vessels she was con.
voying she fell in shortly afterward
with his Majesty's ten gun brig Turk.
The vessels were brought to a stand
and lieutenant of the Turk in re-
sponse to signals went on board the
frigate: he was then told that a
pirate brig named the Gypsy was in
those waters and that she had been
ON the lookout for the Madre de Dios:
having missed her, 1t was presumed
that she would proceed to the pirates
happy hunting ground in the Spanish
Main. As the Turk was bound for a
West Indian Station she was re-
quested to keep sharp lookout for
the brig, to ascertain from passing
ships II anything resembling her had
been sighted by them. and to COM
municate to other men-of-war the
news Of such a ship being in those
seas.
Four days later the Turk spoke

gave the news she had received from
the frigate, and from the instant of
the Saxon filling upon her main.top-
sail a bright lookout was kept aboard
Of her for any floating fabric rigged
with two masts, and carrying square
sails even to the height OF skysail
poles.
This communication of men-of.war
was to prove Crystals doom. How
could 1t have been otherwise? A ten
gun brig had gone before the Gypsy

Crystal ambled In her wake without

He ordered the cabin-man to bring
his breakfast on deck, and cloth was
laid upon the skylight. While he was
eating Laura came out of the cabin
and stood. opposite to him. She was
as pale as dead body. and her beauty
had that sort of droop and lusterless-
ness which you observe in the plum
age OF glorious birds wnen they
slcken.
Have you breakfasted?" said he.
Il cannot eat" she answered. "Oh,
cousin. why did you kill him?"
He stared at her in silence with a
dark frown, chewing his food like a
Illuminating bull. She was afraid of
his gaze and said with a change of
voice and even of manner:
Now that I am under your protec.
tion you will tell me what you mean
to do"
"Yes." he answered, 'T will tell
you. When the brig is clear of those
villains" says he, with sideway

how to manage single-handed. Mean
while. you will be safe. but shan't ex-
pect you to thank me-"
The captains servant came from
the cabin to attend to Crystals wants.
He said to him:
Make neat job of the corpse, and
take care to double shot It; we'll bury
him through the cabin window, you
and me alone"
By this time the armed seamen of

the Thetis and the men who had Joined
them from the body of the pirates had
eaten their breakfast, and were
smoking their pipes about the little
caboose. When they had made an
end and returned to their stations,
Crystal began to sing out The long

for hoisting, the rudder shipped. The
hatch cover was then lifted, the arm
ed men stood round, and Crystal, put
ting his foot ON the coaming, shouted
down:

hands; but two OF you at time"

were in liquor. came and stood in the

"The long-boats's ready for you

ugly rufian.

the least bit of trouble"-and here
again he swore dreadfully-"Ill sweep
the 'tween-decks with these guns: I'll
butcher every mothers son OF ye."
Then spoke the true pirate; 1t was
no longer Captain Pope. but the devil
incarnate. and his own men stared q
little wildly at the figure Of that saw

Crystal.
