FOR SUNSET PARK!
Mrs. Mary n. Wadsworth Offers
City 1000 for Improvement
of Tract Along River.
ASKS OTHERS TO HELP
But Makes Donation Unconditional
Council Will Pay Bills in Spite
of Injunction.

At the meeting of the city council
last evening, communication was re-
ceived from Mrs. Mary H. Wadswortn.
rendering to the city gift of 81 900 TO
be used in the Improvement of Sun
set park, located on the river front
between Eleventh and Twelfth street,.
In her letter Mrs. Wadsworth makes
her contribution absolute, and con-
tingent only on its being expended du"-
ing the present year. She urges. how
ever, that others interest themselves in
the Improvement of this spot, and con
tribute toward the work. She asks
that commission composed of Judge
w. H. Gest, Major H. C. Connolly and
Virgil Warren be named to supervise
the improvement of the park.
An Excellent site.
The location of the proposed Sun
set park is ideal, and the name given
it is very apt. Provision for the estah-
lishment of the park was considered
some time ago, but on account of lack
of funds the city was unable to i'm
prove the grounds. 1t is believed that
when the work is once undertaken
others who reside in that part of the
city will assist and will not only pro
vide for the improvement of the park
but will maintain it and see that tn \
grounds are cared for with but little
expense to the city.
Mrs WadswOrth's proposition was
referred to the street and alley com
mittee to report. 1t will in all pro J.
| ability be accepted. and new PARK
thus be added to Rock Islands excel
lent park system.

on the advice of Searle & Marshall.
the city's special counsel in the injunc-
| ton litigation, and B. d. Connolly, who
represented certain of the creditors i'll
| the suit. Mr.. Connolly was present
and explained to the council that there
,, has never been an injunction against the
city, but that both the original bill ana
| the amended bill were held by the CT =
| cult court to be bad. and that the APP
pelIate court dismissed the appeal on
| account of lack of jurisdiction. These
contracts were made over year ago.
but the litigation prevented the setti,-
| ment of the balance due the different

Girl AteEete Makes New Record in
Eaulting and Putting the Shot.
Mildred Villas, '07, of Cleveland, O.,
and Inez Milholland, 90, two of the
most popular students, established new
athletic records at Vassar Saturday
says the New York World. Miss Villas
made a fence vault Of feet 1921 inch
es. The previous record was 4 feet 1917
inches, made by d. E. Merrill, '02, in
1901.
Miss MilhOlland, beautiful English
girl, who is taking a course at Vassar
III preparation for woman's suffrage
work in England, and who is regarded
as one of the strongest women ever at
the college, put the eight-pound shot 81
feet 81 inches, breaking the record Of
20 feet 1112 inches, made by E. H.
White in 1902.
The surprise of the day was the poor
showing of the two present students
who hold championships Alice H. Bel
ding, '07, holder of two records, feet
6 inches in standing broad jump and
1915 feet 5 inches in baseball throwing.
and Martha Gardner, '07, holder of
10O-yard hurdle record, 16 1-3 seconds,
and running broad jump, IA feet 6h
inches. Neither champion was able to
equal her record, while in the hurdle
race and baseball throwing they were
surpassed by sophomores and fresh
T0on.
The sophomores won the honors of
the day, exceeding their own best ex-
pectations with 43 points. When it was
announced that 1907 had won % points
mighty shout of "skidoo'' went I'D
from the side lines where the sopho-
mores were cheering their successful
athletes; 1910, won 20 points and 1908
got Is.

IT'S hard work." said the boss to a

to do even the simplest things really
well and to keep on doing them 50 and
[ do love to meet people who do the
work they have to do, no matter what
it may be, thoroughly and who have,
besides, the sense and nerve to keep at
it that way steadily.
at is a positive delight to me to find
boy that makes a good job Of sweep
ing out the store, who is not satisfied
with giving it a lick and a promise e
sweeping out the thick of 1t from the
middle of the f1oor-but who digs into
the corners and sweeps clean along the
edges and makes a good, thorough,
workmanlike job of it all through.
Nov, that sort Of job of sweeping
is a positive help to the business; it
make the store attractive, it actually
gets into the atmosphere of the place
and helps to draw people who would
as surely be repealed, If not driven
away, by a store slackly kept And
now suppose this boy keeps right on so,
unfinchingly; suppose he shows that
he's really got the stuff in him; why,
he gets the first chance there is for a
step up, for the demand for men who
can do things is greater than the sup
ply, and then if he will only keep on
doing things the way he began he's
got his future in his own hands.
What is true of the boy sweeping
the store is equally true of every other
boy, in whatever work he may be do
ing, absolutely; for the whole secret
of success lies in doing whatever your
hands find to do well and faithfully.
This is an old, old, oft-told story, I
know, but there's fresh crop of boys
coming into the field daily, to whom,
ever, it must be new, and if but one of
each days crop would take the old
story to heart the world IN general
would be better off and the boy himself
would profit by it greatly"

Briton Tells of Superiority OF Grim
inaI Procedure in His Country.
AZ have no criticism to make of your
mode of conducting criminal trials, but
we manage them very differently in En-
gland" said Robert Harding, a London
barrister, to a Washington Herald
man.
'sThis Thaw trial, that consumed
weeks in its hearing, would have been
concluded in less than a week before
our tribunals. Honestly, I think our
procedure the best. In trying to up
hold the rights of accused men your
American system goes to extremes and
serves no good end. Before an English
court much that was allowed in the
Thaw case would not have been toler-
ated.
''The greatest difference, however, n
the two systems Of Jurisprudence is
that in England, when a verdict of
guilty in a criminal case is reached,
that settles the matter permanently
There is no appealing the case to a
higher tribunal. The only possible way
to secure relief, then, is by getting the
home secretary to intervene, which is
about as easy as the camel going
through the needles eye. For all that,
there is no more danger of an innocent
man being convicted in England than
IN the United States, but it is infinite
" more difficult for guilty person to
escape punishment in Great Britain
than in America. Neither wealth, nor
position, nor the influence Of powerful
friends will get a malefactor out of the
tolls in our country, and the son of the
greatest nobleman will be sent to jail
just as certainly as the son of a peas
ant, should his guilt be proved"

it strikes, at its fall, with its whole

rock basin, which one would suppose
its prodigious velocity and weight
would split into thousand pieces; but
the whole cataract, thus arrested, at
once suddenly rebounds in a parabolic
arch, at least sixty feet into the air;
and then, having made this splendid
