COUNCIL HAS ACCEPTED PLAN:
Fer Improvement OF Prospect Park
by n. l.. Mize.

So soon as the city attorney will pre-
pare the agreement for the lease OF
Prospect Park, owned by the city, to
Mr.. Hugh l.. Mize, the permanent
Improvement of that property will
begin. The city council has accepted
the plans drawn by city engineer C.
w. Murray, and these are alike accept
able to Mr.. Mize, who proposes to lease
the park for ten years and convert il
into summer garden and picnic re-
sort. Engineer Murray's plans include
drainage of the grounds and construc-
ton Of nearly a mile of serpentine
walks and driveways. Mr.. Mize pro
poses building a natatorium, great
dancing pavilion, a ''shoot the chute
and general identifying of the grounds,
thus converting what is now a swamp
into pretty pleasure park. The terms
oflease are satisfactory, and as soon as
contract is signed up the work of i'm
provement, costing several thousand
dollars, will be pushed forward.

DECLINED THE MONEY OFFERED
Ante-ReIIum Negro with Heart in
Right Place.

An incident is related as occurring
recently at the scene of the disastrous
Seaboard Railway wreck, west OF
Americas, which well illustrates the
difference-gulfw ide-between the old
time ante-b ellum darkey and the worth
less moke of today.
The story is related by we'll known
gentleman of Americas, who was
aboard the Inflated train that plunged
through trestle and was afterwards
entirely consumed by the flames.
The terrific crash, occurring at mid
night, awoke an old gray haired darlley
whose cabin stood near by.
The old man, terror stricken at the
scene, stood at the door, afraid to ven
ture nearer the wreck. Conductor
Sutton, badly injured, has just been
taken from the tangle of broken and
burning cars. 1t was necessary to get
a physician as soon as possible.
Seeing the old negro at his cabin door
the Americas man approached and
asked if he had a cart or buggy that
could be used in carrying Conductor
Sutton to Pittsview mile distant.
The old negro was told that he would
be paid s. for his trouble.
"Marster. he answered" Use got
the cart and will carry the hurt man,
but 10 God I cant take your money
fer dom a thing like that" And he
did INT. The trip was made in safety,
but aged and poor as he was, the old
negro declined the money.
What an object lesson indeed for the
new generation of his race; the Booker
Washington buck of today.

A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most Skep-

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.
1t must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
badness is the destruction of the germ
which act is successfully accomplished
the application of Newbro's Herpicide.
Dandruff is caused by the same germ

vented with the same remedy-Newbro's

The advance of almost ~ per cent.
in Reading and 5M per cent. in Lehigh

FRANCE IS GIVEN
A FREE HAND
Her Loyalty to Monroe Doctrine As
Sured.
TO FORCE MR.. CASTRO TO TERMS.
Preach Governments Course VIII Not Be In
: terpreted as Any Violation Of the Monroe
Doctrlne-M. TaIgny, Who Was So Dis
courteoHsly Treated by venezuela's Presi.
dent. Expected in Washington.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD - Con-
WINGED of the sincerity of the assurances
received from France regarding her 10y
atty to the Monroe Doctrine and all
that it involves, the Washington govern
ment has given the Paris. government
free hand in the execution of its pro-
gram for the solution of the Venezuelan
problem.
The conferences on this phase of the
question occurred sometime ago and Mr..
Jusserand, the French ambassador, has
final assurances that the efforts of France
to obtain diplomatic treatment for her
charge d'affaires at Caracas will not be
interpreted at Washington as in any way
violative of the Monroe Doctrine.
The first move in the execution of the
French program may be expected at any
time, but on this point the French gov
eminent is observing the strictest secre-
cy, the orders to the squadron going di-
rect from Paris and not through the
embassy here.
M. Taigny, the retiring Preach charge,
who, it is believed, is now at Curacao,
will come to this country on his way
home, and on his arrival at New York
he will find an invitation from the French
ambassador at Washington to spend sew
eral days here in conference, in order
that NJ Jusserand, on whom the burden
of an important phase of the Venezuelan
negotiations naturally falls, may have
the benefit of the facts about the stu
alton.
1t is not unlikely that NJ. Taigny will
also see Secretary Root. When he was
last here on his way to Caracas he was
the guest of honor at large dinner
given here by his ambassador, at which
the entire Venezuelan legation staff was
present to meet him.
The whereabouts of the French ships
remains mystery, so far as the officials
of the State Department and French
Embassy are concerned, it is stated. 1t
is assumed, however, that they are IN
daily touch with the ministry of marine
at Paris and are waiting an opportune
moment to take such action as their
instructions may provide for.
At last accounts Mr. Taigny had not
been able to decipher three long cable
grams received on board the Martinique,
which contained important instructions
from the the foreign office, one of
which directed him to await the arrival
of French mah-of-war, then on its way
to Laguayra, to take him away. Mr..
Taigny went on board the French steam
ship to obtain these instructions, intend
ing to return with them to Caracas and
decipher them in the legation, where the
cipher code is kept under close guard
He was not allowed to land, however,
and it will be impossible for him to be-
come acquainted with the nature OF the
instructions until his arrival in Washing
ton, where he will have access to the
embassy code.
