Father Knickcrbockcr has been very
successful with NIL his real estate vcn-
lures. but never more so than in the
case OF Central park. Less than half
n century ago the present Central park
was waste of rocks and swamps. Tho
city OF New York obtained control OF
tho territory and Issued bonds to the
amount OF $4,000. 600 for the acquisition
OF the land. Bonds to the amount OF
$2,l0o.o00 were issued Mt the same time
for the Improvement OF the Central
park. As this improvement progressed
other bonds for Sl.725.o 900. known rs
Central park bonds.' were issued. and
Itiil more were sold for the building OF
the arsenal in the Central park and
for the reservoir there. bringing up
the total amount OF cost to the city Of
the Central park to si2.500.OO0. This
was the first COST states tho Sun.
nna an additional sum OF $500. 900 has
been expended for construction and
Improvement OF the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art. the One Hundred and
Tenth street and Eighth avenue en-
trance and sundry park buildings. In
ell sl5.oO0,O00 has been expended by
the people OF New York for the acqui-
fition and improvement OF Central
park. The assessed value OF the land
included within the boundaries OF Cen

matter OF fact, the land included with

Reform in Spelling.

Five out o: nine members of the New
York board OF school superintendents
have declared in favor of reformed
spelling. The Cleveland Plain Dealer
thinks they may Use this for them
selves II they like, but that they should
not attempt to introduce 1t in the
schools. 1t continues: Language can
not be changed by rules or legislation.
l. is natural growth. and when there
IS n natural demand for n change that
change is gradually accomplished, no
cne knows how. The efforts of few
pedagogues, not one of whom is an au-
thority, for an instantaneous trans
formation will necessarily be futile, re-
gardless of the merits OF the changes
proposed. 1t would be indefensible to
teach children to misspell words mere
ly because handful of more or less
learned gentlemen have decreed that
the words shall be misspelled. The
English language has been made and
will be modified oy the usage of it's
best writers and speakers and the
latest little group of spelling reforr:

AGREE ON MEAT INSPECTION.
House COMMITTEES Frames . Measure
to Protect the Consumers.

Washington. A meat inspection
provision was completed by the House
committee on agriculture Wednesday.
1t Is declared by the committee that
the provision will insure that Amcri.
can meats md American meat prod
ucts are healthy. clean and In every re.
spcct wholesome and ut for food.
The important features Of tho lcgis.
intion are that II places the cost OF the
inspection on the government and
makes IN annual automatic appropria.
ton OF 100000 to pay the expenses.
It requires rigid post.mortem and
antc-mortem inspection Of all animals
killed for food.
II requires government label rs
passport for all meat products which
enter interstate commerce and In add
ton to this label a certificate of purity
to the carrier and the secretary Of as.
riculture for such products which
enter foreign commerce.
To secure this label the product
must be handled in accordance with
sanitary regulations to be prescribed
by the secretary Of agriculture. who is
authorized to employ. without regard
to the civil service law for the first
year. an adequate corps Of efficient In.
spectors to supervise the enforcement
Of his regulations.
It prohibits the use OF preservatives
or chemicals deleterious to health in
the preparation OF meat foods. and
leaves the determination of this ques.
ton to the secretary Of agriculture.
The label on the product is to indicate
the ingredients. but the date OF manu-.
facture is not required.
The sanitary requirements which the
secretary is to prescribe and enforce
must insure complete sanitation as to
all buildings. whether slaughter
houses or canning establishments.
Many penalties are provided for VIC.
lations of these provisions.

Standard Oil Will Not Appear Before
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Cleveland, Ohio.-The Standard OIL
Company will make no defense before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
on tho charge of commercial bandit
ism which has been hurled at the com.
pany publicly and repeatedly by scores
of witnesses.
After having demanded day in
court" and after having publicly stated
that the Standard Oil Company could
not permit the testimony adduced be-
fore the commission to go unchal.
lenged and after asserting that the
company would refute every charge
made and would clean itself OF what
ever odium may have been cast upon
1t, it has been decided to permit the
long array of accusations to go unchal-
lenged so far as rebuttal testimony is
concerned.
So far as the hearing goes the ST.
lence of the Standard Oil Company
leaves n clear record against them and
members of the commission declare
that they do naught save report all
TIE charges to Congress and report
them as unrefuted.
