Jemison bought back after selling them so that his priv ate grounds now are quite extensive. The investors in Glen Iris represent some of the leading men of the city and those who have built homes in Glen Iris have spared no expense to make them worthy of their location.
 The residence lots in the park are all elevated and face a boulevard shaped like a horseshoe. The interior of the horse shoe will be reserved as a park It is beautiful now with it's shapely trees, and the streamlet running through it, span ned by rustic bridges. A great deal will yet be spent on the park however. The bottom of the stream will be paved with brick to prevent any washing, a land scape gardener will be rut to work and 1t is the intention to have hundreds of honeysuckles blooming in it as soon as possible.

SHORT GUNS AND LONG GUNS.
The Men Who Take Chances Those
 Who Make the Big Scores.

From the New York Sun.
 The spring shooting of wild fowl. which has closed practically for the sea- son in the west, has shown once again that the heavy guns will beat the light guns and the long guns will beat the short guns. The heavy guns are better fowling pieces because they will stand heavier charges of shot and powder, and the more powder burned behind shot the faster and farther they will go Just why the long ones will beat the short ones is still mooted question among gunners. though it is supposed that confinement of the gases behind the projectiles for greater distance lends them an added force.
 Of late years it has been a fad with many wild fowlers to shorten the bar rels of their guns, just as they have been decreasing the bore. It Is a fact that a gun is lighter and may be swung more

 It is marvellous how peoples minds are changing about Europe. Gradually since the Spanish war we are realizing that we are the only people-the only country. New York is crude in spots and there is a great deal to be reme- died. But we are going at it fast. Clothes are still a fetich, and one does want to get a peep at dukes and duch- esses and the king of England just once in while. Mrs. ogden Goelet did not want to go a bit; but her daughter had promised to be bridesmaid at very smart London wedding in June, so there was the inevitable to face.

 The front portion of the property which will be reserved as a park contains the well known Laws spring. It is one of the best springs in the valley and a hand some stone spring house will be built around it.
 Another feature of the property will be an artistic waiting station for the cars, which will be located just between Glen Iris and Highland park.
 Glen Iris.
 Some of the most beautiful residences in the city have already been built in Glen Iris, and others are now in course of construction. MT. Jemison has a state ly house of colonial design, with exten- sive grounds. Maj. F. M. Frazier has just moved his family into his white stone residence at the farther end of the park.

 Within ninety days street cars will be running all the way to these parks. A new line is to be built. It will cross the Twenty-second street bridge, proceed on Avenue B to Fifteenth street, then along Avenue H to Montgomery street and out Montgomery street to the parks.
 These parks are not at all like public parks, but are simply grounds that have been laid off by private individuals for home sites.

When they become inter- ested in animals they become fond of them, or, at least their attitude toward them is tolerant. and by refraining from cruelty to them they grow more con siderate of others. It Is not merely that they may cease from troubling and abus- ing animals that we would reform their practices, but that they may grow into better people.

MISSED HIS WIFE.
So Captain Anchored 100 Miles from
Port and Sent Back for Her.

The following dispatch from Balti-
more is of interest to people who own
in the Sewall ship w. +. Babcock
launched in 1882, and all those ac-
quainted with the captain:
Baltimore, Md, Saturday.-Afte1
starting on 15,o0o-mile voyage around
Cape Horn. Captain MoXen anchored
his ship, the w. f. Babcock. 100 miles
from port until a tug could come back
to Baltimore for his wife at a cost of
$24O.
Mrs. Moxeu was a resident of New
Zealand and is strillingN handsome
woman. She has been going to sea
with Captain Moxen for six years and
has been all over the world.
When the w. f. Babcock came to
Baltimore from San Francisco and
Ncw York. she decided that she would
not make the present trip around Cape
Horn, and it WAS arranged that she
spend the time ashore.
When the Babcock sailed and Capt.
Moxen saw the waters of the bay wild
ening out toward the sea, the empti-
ness of the ships cabin was accentuat-
ed by the howl OF the gale that swept
about the ship. He saw a four months
voyage ahead of him. Capt. Moxen
could not stand it; he must have his
wife, no matter how much 1t thinned
his wallet.
He ordered the ship anchored off
Windmill Point. The towing tug was
asked to come alongside. 1t was agreed
that the tug should get so an hour for
returning 100 miles to Baltimore, wait
ing until Mrs. Moxen and her effects
could be brought aboard and steaming
down the bay to the ship.
This was done and Mrs. Moxen is
aboard for the long days and heavy
gales off Cape Horn-Bath Times.
