council assume one-half the cost of
this work, this one-half TO be provided
by annual appropriations to be made
within the next two or three years. To
raise the other half. we propose that
the public-spirited citizens of our city
shall be invited to provide the other
half by donations. We make these
| suggestions, not because we desire to
entail any burden upon the people, but
because we hear on every hand a de
mand for this permanent work vita
offers OF pecuniary assistance. To neg.
lect this work now is TO postpone, per
haps indefinitely, the completion of tho
finest unfinished public work in our
city. We want to complete the park
particularly for the enjoyment of the
children, We therefore hope that the
wishes of the park board may meet
With encouragement 0here is no
selfish interest involved), that from
his social gathering may go out an
influence that will result in com

Hearty Approval.
1t may be said that the plan sub
mitted by President Jackson in behalf
of the park commissioners met the
hearty approval of all who were pres
ent. Each member of the board each
alderman, President Medill and the
other officers of the Longview Park as
ISOLATION, City Clerk Schaffer and City
Engineer Treichler spoke on the sub
ject and none was opposed to the inl-
provement in the park system to the |
extent of the original plans prepared
by the landscape engineer.
Much was said in a general way on
the subject, but the question of what |
can be done was more nearly reached |
by City Clerk Schaffer and City En- |
gineer Treichler. Mr.. Scnaffer, who is
the Joe Cannon of the city treasury. |
gave it as his opinion that the full |
amount required from the city could |
be appropriated in the two years spec
flied by the park commissioners, the |
Plan being for the city to devote $12,-
800 TO this purpose in that time and !
the commissioners are to raise an |
equal amount from the citizens.
VIII Need More.
Mr.. Treichler's opinion was that the
for improvements at the park
ought TO be placed at a higher mark
and longer time taken to reach it.
All of the aldermen spoke favorably
IF the proposition TO so appropriate the
funds, but Aid. Eckhart was hardly as
as others. his opinion beingl

over the streets in all portions of the
city and not be confined to favored
places.

to furnish Suretyship Bonds.
It does not engage IN bank

its operations to the broad field

This limitation, with its
large capital and surplus of

than any personal security that
can be offered.
The fact that the American

selected this Company as the

After Ticket scalpers in Chicago.

CHICAGO. January 27.-Master in Chanc-
cry James s. Hopkins today fled a report
with Judge C. C. Kohlsaat of the United
States circuit court, In which he recon-
mended that perpetual injunction be is
sued enjoining a number of ticket brokers
from ''scalping'' tickets belonging to the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company The mas
ter held that the ticket brokers of the coun-
try are organized into number of assoc
Citations which act in concert. He further
held that in transferring non-transferabie
tickets bearing signatures. the defendants
made use of fraudulent devices, for the
reason that when customer purchases
from a broker a signature, non-transfer-
able ticket they are directed by the broker
to sign an easily written name The mas
ter held that in law the Injunction should
be broad enough to cover all ticket brokers
and prevent them from engaging in the
business.

Retirement of Bluejackets.
Naval officials are advocating a change of
law which will permit the retirement of en-
listed men of the navy after a service of
twenty-five years. as is the case with en-
listed men of the army and Marine Corps.
It is felt that there should be equality
of conditions in all the services, and that,
moreover service in either the army, navy
or marine corps should count toward re-
successfully in the three services, the COM
bined period will so toward counting for
retirement. In the navy there is not only
an exaction of thirty years for service be-
fore an enlisted man may be retired. but it
is provided that no one may be retired until
he has reached the age of fifty years 1t
is proposed to change that so as to have
the retirement after twenty-five years
service without regard to the age of the
beneficiary.
Rebuilding the Canonicus
The Navy Department is considering
proposition to rehabilitate the old monitor
Canonicns. at an estimated cost of $40, 900.
so as to put the relic in such shape as will
enable her TO be exhibited at the Jamestown
celebration. The people in charge of the
exhibition desire TO have the old monitor
now at League Island. restored to some
thing like her original condition, and show
by her the contrast with the modern coast
defense ship and the latest type of bactle-
ship The only thing that stands in the
way of the proposition is the matter OF ex-
pense.
