CENSURES HEAD OF PARKS.
COrOner's Jury CrihciseS Herman -Tisch,
Swanboat Man. May BE Taken Again

Coroner Shrady held an inquest yester-
day on the death of Mary j. Murphy, who
was drowned by the capsizing Of a swan
boat in Central Park last Sunday.
The witnesses said the platform on which
the seats we're built had in some unac-
oountable way slid of the two zinc pom
toons as the man in charge was turning
about on the return trip to the landing.
They agreed that there we're no fastenings
TO hold this platform in place and that
cleats or some other simple device would
have prevented the accident. Coroner
Shrady questioned them as TO whether
there we're hoodlums on the boat who by
rocking It had caused the capsizing, but
all agreed there was nothing of that sort.
Tom Lee, who was operating the BOAT,
said il all happened 80 quickly nobody
could say just what caused the platform
to slide.
Some Of the girls in feeding the ducks
must have got too far to one side and made
her slip" he said. Lee was asked why no
attempt had ever been made to attach the
platform 20 the pontoons.
That was because il you had a-driven
nails into them tin floats you'd a let the
water into 'em and they'd a sank" he
said.
'Cleats, how about ~cleatsl" in answer
TO a jurors question,
Il suppose they could n been put on"
The jury brought ina verdict censuring
Arnold Tisch, the concessionary. for gross
negligence in the construction and opera

but discharged ingthe police our on the

however, after bearing the verdict that he

opinion there was ample evidence brought

The public school teachers who went

the Board Of Education has prepared for

the Board OF Education is going to have

to get into action at yesterdays meeting
OF the board, but others suggested that
the time was not appropriate until the bill
was finally disposed Of. It was said that
any action taken by the board now might
be construed IA intended to %infuence the
Mayor or the Governor.
Commissioner iona had upon the
calendar a resolution relative 70 the absence

the calendar we're read, One was a oom-

The other was where the same superin-

Leoend of the White Sky Calf.

The Kiowa Indians have queer
story of the "white sky calf" Accord
ing to the legend, that portion Of the
American desert was formerly very
fertile, supporting large herds Of pure
white buffaloes, each having black
tail. These creatures We're held sacred
by the savages and never killed for
any purpose. Finally an old medicine
man, Neka-ta NAH, vowed that he
would have tepee built from the sa-
cred white skins. The chiefs Of the
tribe tried hard to dissuade him from
the notion, but all to no purpose. He
declared that he would commence to
collect the skins on the morrow. Dur
ing the night great white light ap-
peared in the sky and in its center u
white buffalo calf. The calf slowly de-
scended to the earth, took charge Of
the herds, leading them northward, and
from that day to this the Kowas have
never seen white buffalo.

STRANGE Story of a Dream.

A correspondent sends the following
anecdote, or, as he calls it, lease OF
thought transference." which was told
him by an eminent engineer, whose
name we withhold: This well known
engineer had been to BulaWayo on the
occasion Of the opening coz the railway
to that place. a friend who accompa-
MED him on the occasion contracted
enteric fever and died OF the home
ward voyage. Half an hour before he
died his hair turned perfectly white.
On arriving in England the engineer
went to break the news to the young
mans sister. He found that not only
did the lady know of the death of her
brother, but she knew the time and
the circumstance of the hair turning
white. The engineer was requested to
er as gently as possible, but to say
nothing of the hair turning white. Aft
er a journey of 100 miles he found that
both father and mother, whom he saw
separately, not only knew of the death
of their son, but knew of his hair turn
Ing white at the time of his death.
Each had had a dream, vivid dream,
at the moment of the death taking
place, and each had kept his and her
own counsel, and they had not spoken
to each other Of the decentralization

Engraved Easter Eggs.

Engraving OH eggs is a special art in
South America. The tools used are
extremely delicate, and the utmost
precision must be used in the process.
The varying depths of the engraved
line give light and shade to the de-
sign, and the result of this pure line
engraving on the smooth oval shell is
surprisingly beautiful. On the first day
of spring the Easter eggs are put on
exhibition, and no store Is too small
and shabby, none too important and
imposing to fail to have it's stock Of
eggs ready. A popular design shows
a map Of South America on one side
