PLAN TO SAVE GREAT ELMS.

Connecticut WIN Have q Tree Ward
a In Every Town In the State.
The death of hundreds Of fine elm
trees tn the cities Of Connecticut dur
ing the last f3ve or ten years through
neglect OF unskillful care led to the
creation OF q new Office by this years
legislature, says a Hartford dispatch
to tie New York Press. 1t Is that Of
tres warden. Each town In the state
win have one, and be will be elected
this faN for the frst time. A previous
act made It optional with the select
men Of the towns to appoint such an
Official, but the new law makes bis
election compulsory. The tree warden
may appoint as many deputies as he
sees At and may remove them at bis
pleasure.
The famous New Haven green was
the example Of lack Of care Of the
slrns that induced the legislature to
pass the bill. That once magnificent
breathing spot which gave New Haven
its famous sobfiQust Of the City Of
Elnns b now only half shaded. Tree
aftsr tes Las fallen down, cracked
branches have been allowed to hang
until the trunk was rotted into, bugs
and tree troubles Of all kinds have in
fected them undisturbed until the
place b almost az unsightly az it once
was beautiful. Dilatory In work that
slloud hive been done years ago, the
people of New Haven are just now
awakening to realisation Of the ter
ribis loss that the city has suffered.
The same thing Is true OF zen
cities and towns throughout Connect
cut With rare foresight the fore
fathers Laid c7t green's and parks in
every village and planted them with
elms and naples, intending that they
should be beauty spots 1or all time.
And tie aged elms stood 80 long and
strongly that later generations came
to believe that they were imperishable.
The new lawsays that the tree ward
en- shah have the care and control Of
all public shade trees In the town, e1-
eept those in public parks OF open
places under the jurisdiction Of park
commissioners, and Of these be shall
take control II requested by the park
commissioners. BE shall expend all
funds appropriated for the setting out
and maintenance Of trees, and may
prescribe such regulations for the care
and preservation Of such trees, en-
forced By fines not exceeding so In
any one case, IS ho sees At, and such
roles and regulations, when approved
by the selectmen, shall have the force
and effect OF town laws. BE shall
enforce all laws for the preservation
Of trees, provided that such laws do
not interfere with city or borough ordi-

Preacher Hurls "Lie" at Blease.

NEwBERRY, Aug 15.-An unexpected
sensational dispeusary debate1took place
at Youngs grove today, when Rev. G. M
Boyd, of Prosperity, outraged at state
ments made by c. L. Blease concerning
the Christian church and ministry, pro-
tested eloquently.
Following this and at the close of the
speaking Blease was halted by the Rev
P. H. E. Derrick, who charged him with
insulting and impugning the Christian
ministry. On Blease's denial that he had
made certain remarks in his speech Rev
Derrick threateningly and fatty contra
dicted him, renewing the accusation
Blease turned to walk away but before he
had taken 20 steps Rev. Derrick shouted
after him the words, "and if you deny il
you are liar" Mr.. Blease took no notice
of the words.
While denouncing general hypocrisy
and corruption in his speech, Mr.. Blease
said that if all the rascals were turned
out of the churches there would not be
quorum left next Sunday, and that be hae
never known preacher who would no
take gamblers money.
The whole affair created intense feeling
Mr.. Jones also interrupted Mr.. Blease t.
express his indignation.
Aside from the above incident the da.
was without marked features.
All of the speakers acquitted them
selves well and were listened to with at
tention but at no time was there grea
enthusiasm.
John c. Goggans presided, introducing
Arthur Kibler as the first speaker. Dr.
Geo. B. Cromer and A. c. Jones followed
Mr. Blease's speech followed, being tn
only'one on the dispensary side. After tn
incident between Mr.. Blease and Rev
Boyd the crowd called for Mr.. Boyd on tn
platform. he responded eloquently TO
prohibition. The crowd was estimate'
| at about 800.
