Lack of Leadership in San Fran
ciScO's Regeneration.

San Francisco Sept 7.-E IL Hartman
tersely summed up the present situation in san
Francisco this week when he said: What the
city badly needs is an unselfFh, wide-aWeke
leader to take the helm and steer away from
nresent acknowledgements" The pity OF II IS that
M s,ch leader has come forward. and there is
no sign OF one in sight
It seemed recently though men Of all par
ties nigh. be induced to unite on some able
man for Mayor whose name would carry weight
throughout the country. but now the Republi-
cans divided and the Democrats thus FAR
have given no sign. DR.. Taylor, the present
Mayor is the candidate selected by many con
ser-yative men. because he is honest, able and
absolutely independent but a strong faction Is
making a hard fight for Daniel a. Ryan, a young
LAWYER and the leader of the reform force In
the recent primary election Ryan has n con
siderable following of active politicians, and
these men may succeed in splitting the party

DEAF AND DUMB PUPILS.

In the area bounded by East Sth street, the
Bowery and the East River, there are upward
of seven hundred deaf and dumb children. the
majority Of whom not receiving am school
education. Before the winter closes this year
il is expected that the old building OF the
Stuyvesant High School will be equipped as a
day school for these children.
one of New York's school problems for a
number of wears has been the proper housing
of children In rapidly developed newer parts
of the city. A bridge would be planned, perhaps.
and a section of the population would be dis
placed for the approaches. When the bridge was
opened a stream of persons would set across IT
to undeveloped portions of the city, and school
houses would be needed quickly. Or land

Nothing in scenic effect is finer than

To appreciate the beauty of avenues

No matter how fine the species, diseas-

An avenue of trees leading to a resi-

tie choice of trees may vary. certain
rules should be observed. Neither too
young nor too old specimens should be
planted. Too young and tender trees
require too much extra care in trans
planting. They do better in the nurs-

trunks solid. Too large trees require
extra care In removal, severe cutting

Crowding is to be avoided. Trees of
all kinds require even atmospheric
pressure all around, free circulation of
air and sunshine In order to be of
symmetrical form.
The California horticulturists plant
their palm trees as far apart as the

palmate or rrimate leaved tops has

EVIDENCES OF NEGLEcT.
Easy Way to Improve Roadsides and

Easy Way to Improve Roadsides and
Destroy Weeds and Briers.
The rOadsides and fence borders IN
many areas are VIGOROUSLY ragged
with weeds and briers, says the Amer
lean Agriculturist Nothing tends to
impress visitors more unfavorably
than to see such evidences of neglect.
In some instances the road supervisors
are at fault, but not in all. The farm
ers themselves should have pride
enough to lead them to do something
in this matter. If the supervisor neg
lects his duty. the farmers responsible
for his appointment should hold him
to the discharge of his duties. But,
apart from anything that the road SUI
pervisor may do or not do. the farmers
have duty in this matter.
The mower should be used in trim
ming up roadsides, and where the
mower cannot be used the scythe ought
to be. From one to three days will
trim up the roadsides of any ordinary
farm SO that these will be presentable
all the year. Any farmer who Is 30
minded can command the amount of
time mentioned If he will. A little la
Dor expended In this way at the right
season would transform the appear
ance Of whole neighborhOods.

A Farmer Who Knows the Advantage
Of Good Roads.
The following extract from q letter
from Clayton Conrow Of Cinnaminson.
N. j.. to State Highway Commissioner
Sargent Of Maine Is the intelligent tes-
timony of a farmer on the advantage
of good roads. and based upon tscts
instead of theories. says Good ROADS
Magazine. And while local conditions
vary, the principle involved-that Is,
the economy Of easy transportation-is
applicable everywhere:
81 live upon the line Of an improved
road leading from Philadelphia to New
York, ten miles from the former place,
and before the road was improved
twenty five baskets of promiscuous
farm produce would make big two

proyed the average load has not been
less than 100 baskets, some farmers
taking as many as $50 baskets to
load, but this last number Is exception
al; also before improvement 1t would
take a team all day to make the round
trip of about twenty three miles to the
heart of the city; since Improvement
IT requires an average Of about seven
hours. Now, assuming that team and
driver would be worth 81 per day, the
regular price here. it would cost 10
cents per basket for farmer to land
his produce in the market In the hrst
case and but 4 cents per basket In
the latter, allowing the seven hours to
make day.
ut must be evident to every unprej-
udiced observer that the farmers In
this section would have been out OF
business had not the road been i'm

ut must be evident also that the
farmer does not get all the benefit, FOL
the citizen consumer shares part o.
it, for it often happens during the glu'
of the season that farm produce SELL
