VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
Much Accomplished by Societies Since
Their Founding in the
Year 1858.

In 1853 a woman in Stockbridge,
Mass, founded the first village i'm
provement society in America,
Stockbriuge was only shabby little
town then, with a muddy road through
it, a cemetery full of weeds, and a
bare common, unshaded and trodden.
In a single year the place was trans
formed. Four hundred trees were
planted, the road rebuilt the village
made clean and attractive.
The history Of the place is not
unique. Wonders, miracles even, have
been wrought in out-of-the-way spots.
In one of the most hopeless in Georgia.
society was formed which began by
planting a double row of trees along
its central roadway This is now a
handsome boulevard
The street is curbed with granite,
grass has been made to grow and
shrubs have been set out everywhere
Rural parks, churches draped with
vines, and house yards vying with one
another in beauty all make the place
an Eden With this town as an object
lesson no one need despair of even the
most forlorn little village

A MAN OF MANY FRIENDS.
The Winning Kindness of Sir Henry
Irving Was Known the
World Over.

1t was characteristic of the late Sir
Henry Irving TO make friends of Amer
leans whom he met in London, and to
show his appreciation of the esteem and
admiration in which he was held here.
But it would have been asking too much
to expect him to be familiar with each
persons claim to his recognition. 1t
was often a case of going It blind on
the part of the actor
A certain New Yorker arriving in Lon
don found an invitation from Sir Henry
to one of the famous suppers In the
Beefsteak room of the Lyceum theater.
He accepted the invitation with de-
light, had as good a time as the guests
at these gatherings invariably did, and
ultimately became a close friend OF the
actor.
But neither at that first supper nor at
any time later did his host say word
to explain how he happened to invite a
man he had never met before. So at last
his American friend decided to ques-
ton him on the subject
Tell me. Irving" he said, chow did
you happen to ask me to take supper
with you ten years ago in London? I've
often wondered why you did It."
so have 1" answered the actor
blandly, "and to save my life was never
able to recall what the reason was. But
I'm sure It was a good orN!"

LAND PATENTS HELD UP.
Forty-Two Thousand Of Them Are
Stored Away in Vaults
in Muskogee.

Forty-two thousand patents TO land
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
are lying il the vaults OF the commits
sion to the five civilized tribes in Mus
kogee, duly executed by the governors
of the two nations, approved by the
secretary Of the interior and ready for
delivery. The commission is holding
them under instructions from the sec
rotary OF the interior and the tribal
officials assert that the secretary is
delaying action in hope Of getting au-
thority from congress to take the de-
livery of these deeds out of the hands
of the governors of the tribes and have
the work done by government Off
cials The patents have been a bone
of contention between Secretary Hitch
cock and the Indian governors for
more than a year The Curtis bill, as
now pending, provides that the deeds
shall be delivered under the direction
OF the secretary of the interior to the
party entitled to receive the same"
and If this clause becomes a law as il
probably win in a short time, il will
do away with all claims on the part OF
the governors to the right Of making

Eason of the Brooklyn club and Man
ager Edward Hanlon and Pitcher
Charles C. Fraser Of the Cincinnati
club. Eason had pitched but two balls
to Fraser when police captain and
several detectives walked upon the
field and made the arrests. The ac-
cused men were taken to nearby po-
lice station and admitted TO bail The
game then proceeded without Interrupt
ton.
Fully 1900 people attended, and
practically all of them placed contri-
buttons In convenient boxes at the yari-
Gus entrances. 1t is upon the question
as to whether or not these voluntary
offerings constitute subterfuge for
paid admissions that the legality OF
Sunday ball playing In Brooklyn
hangs. Scanlon finally pitched the game
for Brooklyn, and Ewing was IN the
box for Cincinnati. The latter had the
best of 1t all the way through.

the engine bumped along the ties for
500 feet before It was brought to a
