TREES AND SIDEWALKS.

Fine shade trees and good side
walks we conceive to be one of the
most attractive features of any town.
Whatever the architecture, if you have
enough large shade trees they will at
tract attention from ugly buildings
and enhance the pleasing features of
beautiful structures. Not only that,
but they afford a grateful and cooling
shade to passersby. That every one
knows and has almost forgotten.
We in Richmond have beautiful
trees. Are we going to lose them
We are beginning to have good side
walks, but are they going to kill the
trees?
1t has been noticed all over town
that the cement sidewalks have made
certain trees turn yellow and die. The
sidewalk contractors have in many
cases cut off half the roots of trees
on one side by the sidewalk, on the
other side by the cement gutter. We
are aware that the roots play havoc
with the sidewalks If left-but we are
also aware that If cut too much the
tree will die. Some happy medium
must be attained. For our part we
consider that moderately good side
walks with fine trees are better than
dead trees with fine sidewalks.
If any one cares to see the effect
of sidewalks on trees let him look at
of Main.

THE VILLAGE GREEN.

Richmond has lost another thriving
industry. We wonder that the Com
mercial club has not bestirred itself
The Palace of Pleasure which minis
tered to our civic desire for hysteria
and the fast life is gone, alas, from the
Richmond Plaza at the corner of
Tenth and Main. How lonesome looks
the place! There only some hundreds

bats and a sign advertising ladies
shoes. (True, one would hesitate tn

What was Rome after the Huns,
the Visagoths, the Ostragoths, and the
Vandals had destroyed the great Ro-
man Circus? What is Richmond with

No more the crowds stream into

which lead to Rome.
All, what will our visitors saw when

elected Palma at the time of the inter.

Duke to the United States, but as a
defeat of the party which caused the
disturbance. 1t is perfectly natural
that the Cubans should not be over
pleased with the party that made all
the trouble.
We think that the chief thing to
look at in this election was not the
fact that one party won. The signif.
cant thing was that the effair went off
so smoothly. The American can not
understand the unstable fickleness of
Cuban politics-or rather of all Span-
ish-American politics. All that the
United States hoped for. more than
came up to the highest expectations.
The Cubans have learned their les

Ogden Hotel Scene of Traeedy-Port-

Revealing Cause of
Rash Act

OGDEN, Utah, June 25.-With her
mouth burned horribly from the effects
of two ounces of carbolic acid and two
ounces of chloroform, which had been
taken with suicidal intent, the lifeless
body of Mrs. II. l.. Cress, formerly of
Portland, Ore, was found lying In her
bed in room No. at the Broom hotel
at 10 o'clock last night.
From a badly crumpled letter found
near by 1t is evident the cause of the
rash deed was the desertion of her hus-
band, who registered at the hotel with
her Tuesday.
On the dresser near the head of the
bed a sealed letter was found, addressed
to James Buck, 267 East Thirty-seventh
street, Portland. Ore, evidently a rela-
tive of the woman.
On a leaf of paper was legibly writ
ten: wire my people in Portland, Ore

Her husband Is supposed to have left
her Tuesday night, and the letter which
he sent to her room undoubtedly caused
the woman to end her life. 1t was as
follows:
"Mollie, you wire home and get your
self q ticket and go home and stay
there, for / am too unhappy to live
with you. When you get to Portland
you will find a letter which explains
everything plainly. l am gone. don't

ACCUSED OF STEALING
$4,000 FROM VAULTS

PITTSBURG, June 25.-W. H. Tiers,
former discount clerk of the First Ma
tional bank of this city, was arrested
today on an information made by Ma
tional Bank Examiner Folds, charging
him with abstraction of about $5l,OO0 of
the banks funds. Tiers furnished bail
in $4,000 for a hearing.
All the money was taken from the
bank from February s, 1906, to July 20,
1906. Shortly after that time the bank
officials learned of the irregularities
and dismissed Tiers. He made partial
restitution and turned over to the bank
certain collateral upon which 1t is stat
ed today the institution hoped to re-
alize.
Nothing was said of the matter at the
time and the bank charged Off the
shortage from the surplus.
Recently, however, the many bank
defalcations occurring in this vicinity
resulted in orders from Washington, 1t
is said, to prosecute all such cases, ana
the Information against Tiers was
made.
Since leaving the employ of the bank
Tiers has been engaged in the real es-
tate business.

through Altadena and southerly to the
intersection of Lincoln avenue with At

limits of Pasadena. This pavement will
consist of selected gravel of a hard,
durable character, carrying natural ce-
menting properties. 1t al be laid
on the prepared natural gravel sub
grade, In a course or layer five inches
thick and thoroughly compacted by
rolling and sprinkling.
The surface will be protected by the

The thickness of the macadam shall
