Board Passes Ordinance.

The ordinance passed. by the town
board last evening regulating the flu
ture building of barns and ordering the
removal of same in the residence dis
tricts, to a distance of forty feet from
the street line, will no doubt incon-
venience some of the property owners,
but as a whole will be of a great bene-
fit to a great benefit to a great many
and geratly enhance the beauty Of the
town. Outside of a few disgruntled
residents. the action meets with uni

proves legal, all the barns in the resi-

have to go.

the city pallor on them, as they grasp

looked up at his worn face. He was
much thinner, but now In the softly
fading light the shadows under the
eyes and cheek bones seemed less
sharp. his face fuller and more boyish:
the contour Of head and shoulders, the
short, crisp hair were as she remem-
bered, and the old charm held her.
the old fascination grew, tightening
her throat, stealing through every vein,
stirring her pulses, awakening imper-

When he had gone Siward lay back
in his chair, very still, eyes closed. A
faint color had mounted to his face
and remained there.
1t was late In the afternoon when
he went downstairs, using his crutches
lightly. Gumble handed him a straw
hat and opened the door, and Siward
cautiously descended the stoop, stood
for few moments on the sidewalk
looking up at the blue sky, then wheel
ed and slowly made his way toward
Washington square The avenue was
deserted. His own house appeared to
be the only remaining house still open
in all that old fashioned but respecta-
bic quarter.
A cab, driven smartly. passed
through the park. the horses feet
slapping the asphalt till the echoes
ratified back from the marble arch. He
followed 1t idly with his eyes up Fifth
avenue, saw it suddenly halt in the
middle of the street. saw woman
spring out. stand for q moment talk
ing TO her companion. then turn and
look toward the square.
She stood so long and she was so far
away that he presently grew tired Of
watching her. A dozen ragged ur-
chins were proving around the foun-
tain, casting sldelong glances at dis
tant policeman. But 1t was not hot
enough that evening TO permit the
children TO splash in the water and
the policeman drove them off.
Poor little devils" said Siward to
himself and he rose. adjusted his
crutches and started through the park

| London, Sept. 14.-The great parade
of the Catholic clergy. which brought
| the eucharistic congress to an end. was
| held this afternoon amid scenes such
as the English churchmen who planned
| it had never even anticipated.
| Cardinal Vannutelli, the Pope's
| legate, walked at the head of the pro-
cession. wearing his scarlet robes and
hat, but not carrying the host.
| He was accompanied by a bodyguard
of English peers of whom the Duke of
| Norfolk was the most prominent, and a
concourse Of cardinals, archbishops,
and bishops. who also We're attired in

cathedral should have an opportunity
of joining in the eucharists observances
and of seeing all the high ecclesiastics
present in London on this memorable
occasion.
The route of the procession was laid
thru the quiet streets adjacent to the
cathedral, and but for the unexpected
partisan strife which a discussion of
this ceremony brought on, it probably
would have been solemnized quietly
and in a reverent atmosphere.
The great majority of those who at
tempted to witness the spectacle, how
ever apparently were attracted by
curiosity, and small part We're OPEN
ly and demonstratively hostile.
The Catholic element cheered heart
lily while the procession passed by and
turnout the route, but there was heard
also considerable ''booing," such as
the English people use in theaters to
express displeasure at any of the
plays.

to pleasantries.
Yesterday was sort of preliminary

One tent which was expected to be
full of interest was not. This was the
canvas labeled. Bryan tent" 1t was
bare of contents, all that was inside
being wind. There seemed to be some
thing coincidental and appropriate
about this, tho.
Next to the Bryan tent was a space
where a man was busy apparently
building an edif1ce of some kind out OF
tile cylinders. He was building circu-
lar wall, apparently, and one wondered
when lie got it high enough how he
would climb out or whether he intend
ed to bury himself alive. Maybe he
: discovered after while that he was
going to be bottled up ard tore it all
down again.
The only people who were in shape

lunch counters. popcorn stands, peanut
booths and so forth. The only one OF
these that did not seem TO be ready
WAS. Notwithstanding
