Special Dispatch to The Star.
. NEW YORK, June 27-Some observers
of the market profess to see in the recent
dealings preparations for q new bull cam
paign to attract outside interest. They
say that an unostentatious accumulation
of stocks has been going on and predict
that after the democratic convention Is
over the leading interests will begin to
discount clarified political conditions.
They point out further that the current
period of dullness has now lasted SO long
that resumption of activity is in the
natural order Of things and that with
a recovery In business going on, slow
but nevertheless actual. the activity must
be on the bull side Of the market.

PRIEST SAVES CHURCH.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 4.-Fire dur
ing mass at st. Leo's church fur
nished an opportunity for Father
J. A. Ryan, assistant pastor, to
prove himself second time a hero
during a panic. In one of the most
solemn moments of the service
candle borne by an altar boy touch b.
ed some of the infammable decora-
tons specially designed for All
Saints Day. A thrill of horror ran
through the crowded church as
flames shot up the side of the wall
and the congregation started in d
mad rush for the doors.
"Men, be calm shouted Father
RYAN. "Take your time in getting
out.''
Removing his priestly robes,
Father Ryan started to beat out the
flames and the congregation remain
ed rooted to the spot as he worked.
IT was the work of but minute
or two to extinguish the fire, and
then the priest signaled to the com
municants to be seated, and with
out more ado resumed the services.
1t was in this church early this
year that Ala shot down Father
Leo.
Father Ryan's first heroism was
displayed at the Iroquois Theatre
fire in Chicago, when he is said to
have rushed into the building and
saves several lives.

BEAUTIFUL BLOCK SYSTEM.
How to Arrange Trees Along Streets
and Parkways,

ana farkWayS,
The question has frequently been
asked II the uniform planting of
streets necessarily involves placing
the trees at uniform distances apart
AS the writer uses the term uniform
it does not-in fact, if the width of
the parkway allows, street trees should
be grouped rather than planted singly.
1t is just as well to preserve a uni
form spacing unless such interferes
with drives or paths leading into pri-
vate property or obscures some excep-
tionally fine view from same. In such
cases 1t is best to so adjust the trees
that certain ones may be several feet
removed from the position wherein
uniform spacing would place them.
But In any event plant street trees.
Those taking up neighborhood or
community improvement should obtain
expert opinions as to how best to plant
whole blocks along the front property
line. At present we either find ugly
fences, dirty and conventional hedges
or, what is still worse, the "open lawn
front"
Workers for the beautiful block sys-
TEN should see that after uniform
street trees there follows uniform
treatment Of parkways, says the Los
Angeles Times. For this purpose grass
looks WELL but is hard to maintain IN
der much shade. When a street is first
planted and before the trees are much
in evidence whole blocks Of parkway
planted to scarlet verbena make an
impressive sight, and the plants re-
quire as little care as any that may be
obtainable. If one objects to scarlet or
lurid and luminous shades, white YER
benas may be used Uniformity of
street planting shows very plainly a
spirit Of cooperation and friendly
neighborhood feeling, a desire to Gre
ate real beauty and relegate personal
wishes to the background when ques-
lions Of community interests are at
issue. Only with such a spirit preva-
lent may the maximum amount Of
civic beauty be obtained. Furthermore,
where all agree on a method of plant
ing or treatment all take a pride in
maintaining their own frontage up to
reasonable standard. In time this
cooperation extends to other matters,
and almost before we are aware we
ARE living in the 'city beautiful"

LET THE TRICOLOR FLY.

The authorities of Alsace-Lorraine
have given proof of a tolerance on
which they can only be congratu-
lated. Thus, the Hotel de I'Union
at Strasburg has just hoisted a
brand new flag in the French colors
on the occasion Of the arrival of the
syndicate of French grocers. Last
year the use of the French flag had
been authorized in conjunction with
the flags of Belgium, Italy and
Switzerland, on the occasion of the
international regattas, but the ap-
pearance of the French flag alone to
celebrate the arrival of a French So
ciety is a new fact in Alsace-Lor-
raine.

PARK IMPROVEMENT.
Reaction Against Former AbsurdltIes
Is Observable.

=
Is Observable.
= OF late years our parks have become
much more restful and satisfying than
they were in days Of long ago. There
was a period Of years when every park
was full Of bizarre effects In carpet
bedding, these beds often being given
the most conspicuous positions. as
though nothing better could be pre-
sented to the public. The truth Of the
matter is that the parks should first
present restful appearance and eff
feet. Broad expanses of lawn and long
vistas across greensward and water or
both should be the first glimpse to be
seen by the visitors to a large park.
says the Los Angeles Times. In small
er areas, in more formal surroundings.
carpet beds of quiet and simple design
are permissible, especially for the pur-
pose of showing Towering plants. In
large parks, where more naturalness is
in evidence, the flower beds should APP
pear as incidentals in plantation Dor
ders or in recesses in the woodland or
shrubbery masses.
Carpet beds have usually marred our
parks as much by the use of hideous
colors as by ugly designs. There is
no beauty in purple beet tops, yet
much of the material used is of the
same "moribund' hue, or some varie-
gated vagaries in foliage are used
when beet tops are scarce. 1t is just
as easy to use plants that are beauti-
full in themselves as these colors at
enmity with all that we call beauty in
garden vegetation. There has of late
been marked reaction against these
absurdities that shows a more health
full public. taste, and the words of dis
approval publicly and privately called
forth by wall paper designs and colors
in our park bedding are an indication
Of an improved general taste in garden
ing. Carpet bedding has for many
years been gradually on the wane,
and it may be expected to so continue
until we have the unbroken charm of
fine stretches Of restful lawn without
these bizarre effects.
A rule which should be at all times
observed in landscaping, either public
or private gardens, is that edges of
lakes or water courses should never be
bare except for boat landings in GER
tain spots. No path should touch the
waters edge except occasionally. and
a border plantation of varying width
should always be kept between path
and water. This is fundamental rule
too often violated in both park and
garden.

1t was no light task. The News
has a new plant. Its mechanical
force never had any experience in
the publishing of daily paper. Its
foreman was sick and could not be
on duty. The regular Tuesday after
noon edition was published as usual
and today's paper had TO be taken
into consideration.
The force worked all day Tuesday
and all Tuesday night and are on
duty today. The mass of election
returns had to be handled and more
thrown away than was actually used
in this mornings extra. The nation
al result was pictured, the result in
Kentucky was given, the Congress

returns of Clark county and the city
of Winchester were displayed.
This ENTERPRISE is in line with the
News policy of giving its readers
the best that is going. We believe we
have measured up to that standard
so far. We believe that the News is
a fixture in the homes of this city and
county. 1t is now looked forward
to and read with pleasure and inter

reliable. We want a reader to feel
that we are telling the news honest

if we do, we propose to acknowledge
them frankly and try to do better in

NATIVES MUCH WROUGHT UP
Strange Action Of Palm Tree Has
Stirred the superstItious Pso-
Pile Of India.

Is it that a plant is possessed Of
some internal spirit? Baraset sub
division, three mi&s distant from
Duttapuker, on the central district
of the E. B. S. railways, is now be-
ing transformed into weird and at
the same time touching scene.
Since a fortnight a date palm,
measuring about 25 feet, is being
found to stand erect in the daytime,
but with the decline of the scorching
rays of the sun prevalent nowadays
the same palm almost bends to the
ground, so much so that its huge
mass of leaves touches the ground
imperceptibly.
This news spread like wildfre
throughout the locality, and the
superstitious people are focking
every day to witness the scene. What
is most astonishing is that the earth
on which it grew is neither loose, nor
is it cracked, by the daily and night
ly coming down and raising of the
palm.
Most of the eyewitness, of
which the writer is excluded, are Of
fering pujas to the palm, thinking
that there is a god underneath the
tree.-London Telegraph.

THE RESULT.

William H. Taft will be the next
President of the United States if he
lives to the 4th of next March. The
election is over and the Republicans
have swept the country. Locally,
the Democrats have won Winchester
and Clark county and Kentucky is
Democratic by more than 10000.
Langley has been reelected in the
10th Congressional district.
Both sides ought to be pleased.
Neither can change the result now,
and each party got something.
Taft is an honest man. He will
make a good President of the United
States and will be, we believe, the
chief executive of the whole people.
Few men have ever come to the Of
fee of Chief Magistrate of a mighty
nation so well prepared for the work
before him. The office is probably
the most onerous in the world. It's
duties are exacting and never ending.
Judge Taft is a gentleman by birth,
breeding and association. No one
can meet him without being struck
with his affability and good nature.
He stands out a man. He looks you
In the eye and talks straight from the
shoulder.
Like Roosevelt he is a glutton for
hard work and as approachable as
the present chief executive.
Judge Taft served with dignity and
honor as a United States~Judge. He
reluctantly resigned that life position
to undertake distastefui task with
which he had no sympathy. He was
opposed to the acquisition of the
PHILIPPINES. but became the first Gov
ernor- general because he felt it his
duty to respond to President McKin-
ley's call.
He pacifed Cuba and brought that
unhappy country to peaceful So
luton of its difficulties. As War
Secretary, he had the building of the
Panama Canal in his direct charge.
The greatest work ever undertaken
bv civilized power has been syste-
,matized. Ever report from the 18TH
mus shows that wonderful progress
rs being made. ~
He has been one of the trusted ad-
sisors of the President and has been
called on for counsel and advice in
all great crises in national affairs.
With such an equipment, Taft
ought to make a great President.
He is in full sympathy with the great
moral awakening that has swept this
countr-s int the last few years. He
will be with and for the people. ~
Whether We. be Republican, or.
Democrat let us put the election be-
hind us and do the little in our power
TO uphold his hands.
