manently. Mr.. Nelson has been a

f<1, =
honor and trust for the people, and lie
has Il wide circle of friends who regret
his departure sincerely. Mr.. Nelson
has been citizen of the best of char
acter and high moral attributes. 1t
has always been known that John A.
Nelson's word was as good as his note,
and our community has sustained the
loss of a good citizen, an honest bust
ness man, and d kind neighbor. The

There was dainty little supper
held-well we wont say where or who
was presenb-but the story is going
the rounds that little 'possum sup
per was planned and the 'possum was
baked IL beautiful golden brown, but
after it had been sl4opooed of and the
happy diners were smacking their
lips over the excellent flavor. the in
nocent ''niggah" explained matters
by saying that he had killed and
dressed a good fat tom cat that had
been making nights hideous in his
rI,lNA
for this, but we have got better sense
than to ask certain fellow how he
likes 'poSSum. There is ii little moral
to this story aud it is this: Don't go
to Il 'possun supper expecting to dine
on cat, and don't go To ii cat supper
expecting to dine on 'possum. Pos
sums genuine are scarce in this coun-
try"

Lease for New Grounds Filed-Graduated
Rental of $4,000 to $1,000.

The lease was filed yesterday for the grounds
recently obtSlned from the New-York Institution of
the Blind by the Greater NewYork Baseball As
sociation that will control the American League
club in this city.
The terms Of the lease specify graduated rental
from 5000 to S1 900 year for term of ten years.
The grounds between One-hundred- an and-sixty-
fifth and One-hundred- and-sixty-eighth SITS. Broad
way and Fort Washington-aye.
Work is rapidly progressing the grounds and
it is expected that all work will he over before
the opening game The field will be laid out IN
a northeasterIy direction. with a stretch Of 275
feet between third base and the left field fence.
The distance from the home plate to the fence
will be 365 feet which makes IT seem impossible
for the heaviest batters to send the hall the
fence. While 1t has been suggested that the grand
stand be placed sixty feet behind the home plate
the distance will probably be increased to the resu
lation ninety feet because of possible accidents
from sharply hit foul balls. From third base the
front Of the heachers there will be seventy
Ave feet wide. while the stretch behind first base
TO the open stand will be sixty feet.
