Fireworks and Meeting

Thousands of persons gathered on the
curbstones around Market space this
morning to be on hand for the celebra-
tons that We're, scheduled by the joint
committee OF the Board of Trade and
Chamber of Commerce to occur at that
point during the forenoon. First in point
of time and also in the hearts of hundreds
upon hundreds of small boys were the
"safe and sane" daylight fireworks They
were sent up without the slightest sign of
an accident. and the youngsters who saw
them and caught a few OF the paper fig
ures as they descended appeared to have
just as much fun as If they were burning
their fingers and putting out their eyes
shooting off firecrackers.
After an hour of fireworks the crowd
stroiled oyer TO the recently unveiled Ste
phenson monument, where the formal
celebrations arranged by the committee
were held. In the stand were the MEM

guests of honor The whole Enclosure was
alive with American flags. and in spite of
the hot sun. enthusiasm was evident ev-
erywhere. From across the street. Isaac
Cans, manager of Saks e. Co, had sent
buckets of lemonade for the thirsty.
The program of the exercises was run
of promptly and the dreary. dull features
which so often mar similar occasions
were conspicuous by their absence. I'm

works were sent up.

the rain washes the surface OF this
decaying, dirt-laden wood covering,
contributing to condition which in
no wise improves the purity of your
water.
Complaints having been made to
me that the septic tanks belonging to
the Grangeville and Imperial hotels
were foul and noisome, | can say as
as result of my inspection, that they
are not the cause of the odors in the
neighborhood of their outlets, but
that rather it is due to the conditions
surrounding them, and to which ]
have already directed your attention.
There is one suggestion in passing
which | wish to make, and that is,
that no septic tank should hereafter
be constructed without application
first having been made to your local
Board Of Health as required by the
ordinance.
There are several instances of stag
nant water in your city, and sug-
gest that you proceed to abate such
nuisances, as provided in section 2241
of the Revised Codes.
An ordinance should be passed
compelling all hotels, restaurants,
fruit dealers. and others, to take care
OF their refuse in regular galvanized
iron cans with lids, and fixing a
stated period in which they must be
emptied.
The wholesale killing of poultry by
butchers, restaurant and hotel keepers
on their business promises, should be
prohibited.
have condemned both slaughter
houses which have been supplying
meat to your city, because of their
unsanitary conditions, and have fixed
time limit of twenty days in which
to make changes required by the reg
ulations formulated by the State Board
of Health.
am pleased to say that the trus-
tees of your Board of Education, at q
special session today, ordered the in
stallation of septic tanks and sanitary
toilets for the school building, and
the abatement Of the present filthy
closets, and it is thought that in thirty
days the entire work will be com
pleted and at a cost of not to exceed
thousand dollars.
In conclusion, / want to express
my appreciation of the very valuable
services rendered by DIR. Rains, wht
has unsel6shly contributed of his val
liable time to accompany me on m.
tour of inspection. Grangeville ha

GHOSTS" IN NEW YORK CHURCH.

Sexton of Chapel of the Comforter
Snapshots Two to Prove 1t.
There are GHOSTS" in the historical
old Chapel of the Comforter at 10
Horatio street, near Jackson square!
Soren Lindgren, who until recently
was sexton of the little mission house
supported by Ascension parish, Of
which the Rev. DR.. Percy Grant is
rector, has not only seen the spirits,
but he has taken photographs of two
of them, the New York Herald asserts.
These strange, mysterious figures,
according to Mr.. Lindgren, congregate
every evening at the foot of the altar.
1t is a weird story Mr.. Lindgren tells
of his experience in the church, where
he and his wife, who frankly confesses
that none Of the ghosts has been
visible to her, had their living apart
ments.
So interested did the sexton become
in the movements of the departed
and lay awake at nights to take snap
shot pictures of them. The Lindgrens
took up their residence on an upper
floor of the church last November,
and the presence of the ghosts was
revealed to Mr.. Lindgren the first
night he slept there.
"About II o'clock at night" Mr..
Lindgren said Tuesday, II heard a
rap on the door of my bedroom. Posi-
tive that 1 had locked the front doors,
I was puzzled to know how any one
could have entered. I threw open the
door and standing in the dark hallway
l saw the figure Of an old man, with
a long flowing gray beard. I asked
what he wanted and instantly the
figure vanished.
cit was several weeks before the old
man again made his appearance. De-
termined to investigate the matter. I
followed the old mar into the church.
Hardly a second had elapsed until I
found the strange figure at my side.
"'Be not afraid he assured me.
This building was once a dance hall.
and it was here that 1 wasted a for
tune which had been left to me by
my father, who was an Italian noble
man. I killed a man in this very
room. Yes, / stabbed him in the back.
stole his money to buy rum, and
here I am, a physical wreck
early the next night" he said, "as
the old man approached the altar I
fixed my camera in position and gave
the picture a long exposure. Mrs.
Lindgren was with me and we went
directly to our apartment and develop
ed the picture. Only the white out
lines of the mans face, head and
beard were shown in the photograph,
but by using a pencil on n Of the
negatives I succeeded in drawing an
excellent likeness of the mysterious
figure"

and reached for a glass mug contain
ing a strong decoction to which he
was resorting more and more as his
troubles grew intolerable. A strange
thing happened! AS he put it to his
lips it's bottom dropped upon the ia
BILE and the contents streamed into his
lap and down to the floor. 1t was the
straw that broke the camel'ssback. for
1T had aroused n superstitious terror.
With a smothered cry he sprang to,
his feet and gazed around upon his
companions. They, too. had observed
the untoward accident, and to them as
well as to him it was a symbol Of dis
aster. Not one of them doubted that
the bottom would fall out of his for
tunes as out of his glass. for by such
signs as these the gambler reads his
destiny.
He pulled himself together and made
a jest of the accident, but it was i'm
possible for him to dissipate the i'm
preston it had made on the minds of
his companions or to Danish the gloom
from his own soul. And SO after a few
brave but futile efforts to break the
spell of apprehension, he slipped quiet
ly away, opened the door and passed
out into the night.

When tired of the monotony of the
menu provided by deer or wild pig
the forest tiger develops a taste FOX

The menu Is changed from deep fol-.
