understand that the Cassidy tract is COM
posed of about two blocks OF ground, while
am told that there are about thirty-five
acres in Syndicate park. 1t is not ques-

sense as to which tract Of land will make
the most suitable park not only for the
present but for all future time. Mr.. Camp
bell and l will pass from this life, but the
park will remain for future generations
and the best should be chosen. I do not
make the threat Of voting for annexation
II the city council and park board do not
decide on Syndicate park, nor am 1 in
the employ of the owners OF Syndicate
park, as some OF the Cassidy boomers are
said to be, to boom that tract, but think
the boards should decide not only for the
present but for all time to come. People
from other states have told. me when they
saw Syndicate park that It Is the finest
natural park they ever saw. There are
also a good many respectable people living
near Syndicate park who are not making
threats of what they will do II the council
does this or that thing about parks, though
I believe two people up there favor an

OMAHA, Feb. S.--To the Editor Of The
Bee: 1t gave much personal satisfaction.
am sure to many citizens of Omaha, as
It did to me, to find in The Bees fine and
exhaustive tribute to Omaha's departed
nobleman and philanthropist, Count Creigh-
ton, a revival OF the memory and good
works of John Lee. He was a humble and
modest man, poor in purse, but a double
millionaire in heart and soul and In good
deeds and works in behalf of suffering
humanity. I knew him long and well. and
few among us had better opportunity than
had to bear witness to that good mans
constant devotion and everyday succors
to needy men, women and children in
Omaha For many years for all the years
of life which God gave him here, his works
among them never ceased. It was Edward
Creighton. not Count Creighton. who first
put money into the trusted hands Of John
Lee to feed the hungry and clothe the
naked poor of our city, seconded In the
same manner by his noble wife, Lucretia
Creighton, and 1t was their high example
of Christian charity and benevolence to
which Count Creighton succeeded in sup
porting John Lee, who never wearted in
his work OF doing good to the poor, and in
80 many ways in the noble life of this
great man at whose grave all Omaha
bows today in grief. in sorrow and In
mourning. When Edward Creighton was
in any doubt about giving, It was to John
Lee. the pure and honest John Lee, that
he referred for decision and for action as
long as he lived, and Count Creighton,
doubt not, did the same things during the
life OF that good man.
1t may not be out of place in this con-
nection to say, with intimate personal
familiarity with the facts. that in the
earlier days, even before Edward Creigh-
ton had come into his larger fortune, that
his open hand of charity was extended to
the poor through others in the Protestant
communion of several churches. For this
service he selected Mrs. George w. Homan,
Henry Romans mother a splendid woman:
Mrs John H. Kellom, of sainted memory,
whose good name the Kellom school bears;
Mrs. Experience Estabrook OF endearing
life and memory, and one or-two others.
These good women would tell me of his
putting money into their hands, day by
day, week by week, for the needy, asking
no questions as to how they should use It.
Only this question would Edward Crelgh-
ton ask of each. betimes; do you need
any more?" But 1t was John Lee who did
the broader work. the faithful, devoted
child of the Roman Catholic communion.
In later years. GEORGE L. MILLER.

NIOBRARA. Neb.. Feb. 6.-To the Editor
Of The Bee: The resolution sent to Senator
Willard and Congressman Kennedy by the
Omaha Commercial club regarding the re-
classification OF second class newspaper
and periodically mail matter. I hope has
been done wisely and in the interest OF
newspapers and periodicals. From my
reading. however. I Judge that the club
has gone wild and taken up a subject that
Il knows very little about.
The Bee had a very suggestive editorial
regarding the report OF the Joint commits
sion of congress. but think It might have
gone more into detail on some features Of
this, in some particulars, vicious report.
The point Of quality of paper being uniform
seems very narrow when we consider ben
efts reached. The art journals and high
class magazines. let alone the enterprising
Sunday dailies. would be greatly handi-
capped. The printers craft has in the In
land Printer, as Nn illustration OF high
class printing. many features that are
helpful in artistic composition, made pos
sible by the elaborate advertising done by
the high-class paper manufacturers, who

from the mails should those hostile to the
press have their way.

FREDERICKSBURG. VA, May g.
Tho case of r. II. Dickson, charged
with abducting Miss Madeline Dempsey,
daughter of w. L. Derapspy OF this
city, was not concluded by Mayor Wal
lace to-day. The counsel for Dickson
moved that the warrant be dismissed
on the grounds that there was no
charge. The Mayor held that the war
rant did not charge felony. but that in
his opinion 1t did charge abduction
at common law, which is INSIDE
meanor. The trial of the case was
postponed until next Tuesday morning
An appeal from the decision of the
Mayor was announced. and VIII come
up in the Corporation Court later.
Dickson left tho city yesterday after
noon, and no one here knows where
he has gone and when he will return.
He was under bail of $1,000.
II am going to leave no avenue of
escape opcn.' Mr.. Dempsey said to-day.
Although my daughter was unframed

her last week, however. he cautioned
her at length, and explained In detail
