Keep the Parks Green.
From the New York Tribune,

From the New York Tribune.
The United States is rich enough to buy
land from private owners for federal uses
of any and every kind, and ought not en-
croach upon the too scanty park spaces
of this city. Our parks should remain in
violate; and 1t is appropriate to remark
that the plan to set up huge building over
the lower reservoir in Central Park has
nothing to commend 1t. Citizens who adj
vocate that scheme hardly appreciate the
possibilities Of injury in such a revoiu-
tionary change in the entire design Of Cen
trail Park. 1t Is as Objectionable as the
effort made many years ago to ruin that
recreation ground by a speedway, which
would soon have become trotting track
of the worst kind.

The Quick and the Dead.

TOM the BaItIfhOre HeraId.
Oxford University by very close vote
some months ago decided to retain Greek.
An option on French or German came very
near driving 1t out. A few years hence the
change will probably be made. For the
dead languages the liking is more academic
than real. The student who declared their
condition was due to the fact that they
had been studied to death did not give the
whole explanation. The modern trend is
toward modern things-toward the living
speech as well as the living thought. En-
glish. German and French are the three
great languages of the world. A hundred
years ago Spanish was in the front rank;
1t excelled English in numbers, but 1t has
dropped hopelessiy behind and English
leads. The failure OF a universal language
Is due largely to the fact that English is
conQuering the world.

TROUBLE WITH cHIMNEYs.
Chief Dutton Says Flues Should Be
Cleaned at Intervals.

During the past few weeks a number of
calls have been made for the fire depart
ment because OF trouble with chimheys.
In many instances the firemen found work
to do and it was with difficulty that serious
CONGREGATIONS were, ayerted. At other times
investigation showed that smoke from the
chimneys filled houses. but there was no
fire except in furnace or range. In con-
versation with Star reporter today Chief
Dutton said that in many cases the flremen
found the trouble has due to the condition
of the chimneys. Many people, he stated,
seem to think 1t Is unnecessary to clean
their chimneyB but 1t should be done at In
tervals, and the expenditure of a small
amount In tln6 way may have the effect of
saving InanNDdollars later.

So far there seem to be few indications of

enthralled. bridge is breaking down, and
although there have been several smart
dances of late. the chroniclers of society's

NAVY ANNEX. BUILDING
FOUNDATION STONE FOB EAST
PORCH LAID TODAY.
Distinguished Gathering Of Senators,
Representatives and Army and
Navy Officers Listen to Address.

In the presence Of distinguished gather
ing Of senators, representatives and army
and navy officers, the informal ceremony
Of placing a foundation stone for the east
porch Of the Mills building at Pennsylvania
avenue and 18th street, took place this
morning.
This building has been leased for a period
of years for the overflow Of the Navy De-
partment, and will be called the Navy De-
partment annex. At the request Of General
Mills owner of the building, the ceremony
was conducted by Captain George W.
Baird, superintendent of the State, War
and Navy Departments building.
After brief statement Of the purposes OF
the building, Captain Baird asked Mr.. Will
bur Sample, the superintendent OF construc-
and after being satisfied the stone was
made and placed properly, Captain Baird
addressed the assemblage in part as fol-
lows:
Capt. Baird's Address.
"The custom of placing souvenirs, en-
blems and records in the foundation stones
Of buildings Is very old. Such emblems were
found In the foundation of the obelisk at
Alexandria, which history showed to have
been placed there 5000 years ago. The
obelisk was presented to the United States
about twenty years ago, and Is now In Cen
trail Park. New York. It had been many
years, perhaps centuries. at Heliopolis be-
fore 1t was moved down the Nile to Alex
andria. In the ruins Of Babylon, Ninevah,
Ephesus Syracuse, Rome and Athens such
souvenirs and emblems are found.
1.-THE more enlightened people Of the king
dom improved on the custom by excavating
a cavity in the foundation stone for the re-
ception of records and souvenirs, and the
custom has descended to US.
None but Firepoof Buildings.
Congress- in Its wisdom, obliges the ex-
ecutive departments to keep their records
in none but fireproof buildings. During the
war with Spain the personnel in the State,
War and Navy Department building was
Increased more than 30 per cent. The re-
ports and records multiplied rapidly and
that building began to overflow. We are
now at liberty to transfer offices and rec
ords to this freproof building.
THE building is monumental in design
and is buided in the highest state Of the
art for office buildings. Its conveniences
and appointments are unsurpassed, and Vt
stands as a monument to General Arson
Mills. who has built 1t. Congress has au-
thorized the Secretary Of the Navy to lease
the building for number Of years, and in a
few weeks it will become the Navy De-
partment annex"

A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
Before Cementing Main Street, 1t Is Being
Widened and the Wooden Sheds
Are Coming Down.

Preparatory to cementiug that
portion of the sidewalk On Main
street between Mayes' drug store
and the depot. the sidewalk is be-
ing widened more than foot, and
all the Objectionable wooden sheds
III front Of the stores are being torn
down. This makes a decided i'm
provement III every way.
Main street leading from the de-
pot uptown will now be, as it
should be, one of the best and most
attractive sidewalks in the city, and
as good as it to possible to make.
In addition to the convenience
which it will afford pedestrians, it
will give strangers a good impress
sion Of the town upon arriving, and
it will be i'll keeping with the adj
vanCe'rent of the town.
That part of the sidewalk on
Main streer above Mayes' drug
store, which has already been
cemented, was widened "a few
inches, and all the other sidewalks
upon which cement has been laid
have been widened and the curbs
Strengthened, and those yet to be
cemented will likewise be improved.
When the walk on Main street is
completed, tie cement will be put
down Oh the walk in front of the
National Bank and around the
opera house.
The sidewalk Oh Friend street
from the postofice to the depot is
also being greatly improved by
having rock curbing put in and be-
Ing laid with brick.
The work, taken as a whole, is
going to improve the town more
than anything else in recent years.
The present town council have made
many improvements for which they
are to be commended, and in what
ever lends to the advancement of
Newberry they have the hearty CO.
operation Of her citizens.
