TREASURES OF
HISTORY AND ART
C. L. CANTINE WRITES OF NEW
YORK'S GREAT PARK
Its Natural Attractions--The Metro
politan Art Museum, Geological
Gardens and Museum of Natur-
al History.

THE ISLANDER has received from c.
f. Cantiue the following interesting de-
scription of some of the beauties and
treasures of New York City's great park
of which the average reader knows far
less than he knows of the political pirates
of ~ammany hall and the financial pirates
of Wall street. 1t is well to know that
the American metropolis is not altogether
corrupt and sordid and that the poorest of
its people have free access there to some
of the finest museums and art collections
which the world aflords.-ED.l
The place Beautiful of greater
New York is Central park. The
evils of city, as-of an individ-
ual, are published and an hundred
or a thousand words are written
about the slums, the iniquities of
Wall street and Tammany, but little
is said of the good things of New
York. How much does the average
citizen know of its beautiful parks,
its Metropolitan Art museum, its
Natural History museum, the New
York Historical society, its public
libraries, the churches and schools,
the Columbia university, the hospit-
ais and asylums, and the numerous
other initutions for the help and bet
terment of the poor, the sick, the
helpless and the ignorant? There are
great-hearted, noble men in that
great city, and they have not been
idle in the past, nor are they now,
and after seeing much of the result
of their labors, I am very certain
that the right will ultimately dom
mate, if it does not now.

The park-Central park-rightly
so called, for it is in TIE center, is
about three fourths of mile wide
and four and half miles long. It's
contour is such as to aid in render
inc it susceptible of all manner of
pleasant surprises in the way of
scenic beauty. Glens and hills and
intervales, rocky lodges and bluffs
and lakes are some of these features.
To the growth of nature trees of oak,
elm, maple, sycamore, ash and others,
have been added millions of trees and
shrubs and vines and flowers that
have made it a ''place of beauty and
a ioy forever" Unrivalled drives
and walks wind through the park in
every direction, over and under beau
tiful bridges, to rustic houses, look
outs, gardens and museums-and
seats everywhere, for it is a resting
place for all New York, that desire
if. and it is not a deserted, unused
part of the earth. 1t is a place of
multitudes-men, women and chill
dren, rich and poor, well and i'll,
black and white, and all the nations
of the earth are SEEN As it should
be, the poor are in the majority, at
least the not rich; but the rich,
droves of them, are taking their
share. not so much of the real park
as of the park driveways, for with
them the fad is automobiles and
presume that nowhere else in the
United States can you see such a
display of fine automobiles and fine
carriages of every style and price,
with colored drivers and footmen in
livery-brass buttons, plug hats, got
ten up without regard to expense.
1t is worth while to take q seat and
see the show as it passes. They don't
look SO very happy or jolly, or even
interested; take their pleasure seri-
ously, aeemingly-style, perhaps,

Chicago, Aug. 22.-The 6erceat riot
of the stockyards strike occurred to-
night when hungry dwellers of the
packinghouse district sought to capture
and kill eight steers that had escaped
from the yards. The mob numbered
1900 persons, and the streets were
cleared only after 12O policemen in five
squads had charged the rioters on four
sides.
Shots were fred and scores of rioters
were dubbed. Few arrests were made,
as the police contented themselves
with dispensing the mob. In no pre-
vious riots were clubs used SO freely.
Fire in the northeast corner of the
stockyards gave rise to exciting rumors
that incendiaries we're at work.
Sparks, presumably from a passing To-
comotive, fell into pile of hay. The
blaze was quickly extingulshed.

the strike situation today. when the

japanese Towing Destroyer Report
She Could Have Injured Them.

Chefoo, Aug. 1.-THE Russian tor
pedo boat destroyer Ryeshitelni, flying
the Japanese flag, was sighted nearing
the Elliott islande on the evening Of
August IL. She was being towed by q
Japanese torpedo boat destroyer. A.
second one acted as escort.
The report that the Japanese had left
the Ryeshitelni at some Chinese port
probably arose from the report brought
by junk to the effect that when pass
ing Yung Ching bay south Of Shantung
promontory, she saw one of the two
Russian destroyers which went ashore
there.
Japanese arriving here from Dalny
communicated with the destroyer es-
corting the Ryeshitelni and they we're
informed that a careful examination of
the Ryeshitelni after her capture by
the Japanese showed that the Russians
had not rendered her completely in-
effective before her capture. A tor
pedo was still in torpedo tube, its
propeller only having been removed.
The torpedo towed by rowboats might
have been used effectively against the
Japanese. 1t was also stated that
while the breeches of her guns had
been unhinged several remained on
board. The japanese consul here
states that his government has no idea
Of returning the Ryeshitelni.

Boston, Aug. lS.-If anything were
needed TO prove that the Grand Army
Of the Republic is still in fact mighty
host, it was to be found yesterday
when, with a half million civilians
looking on, $4,000 survivors of the
union forces OF the Civil war assembled
here from all sections Of the United
States and marched through the streets
Of Boston. Five and one-half hours
were required for the parade to pass q
given point.
1t was q severe strain on the old
soldiers. but generally the veterans
stood the hardship we'll. More than
three score Of them dropped from the
rank from exhaustion and heat pros
tration, and we're cared for at the hos
pitals. The death of one soldier
marred the otherwise happy day.
Colonel John P. Pyron, a member Of
John Dix post of New York, died from
heart failure induced by exhaustion.
At least 250 spectators, mostly
women, tainted during the parade, and
many persons were slightly injured
and had their clothing torn in the
crush.
The spectacle of the gray haired SOL
diers on parade was one calculated to
thrill, and everywhere the army was
received with applause.
AT the end of the route Commander
in Chief John G Black of the Grand
Army of the Republic held his review.
Last night the Grand Army of the Re
