TO START WORK ON
CLIFF BOULEVARD

President Bennett reviewed the
work this summer and declared
that the board had been greatly
handicapped for lack of water.
1t was difficult to keep the grass
green owing to the poor water
service given by the oity system.
He urged that the parks dig
wells.
President Bennett also declared
he hoped test would be made of
the park board law soon in the
state courts to determine whether
or not 1t has legal standing and
what it's righs are.
The banks, he said, would not
take park board warrants and the
treasurer has refused to pay the
money on his own salary war
rants.

There they were. six headless
chickens, and a quantity of yege-

that a stranger asked him to carry
the sack, and imposed fine of
$500 and costs in the police court

BY Norman.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Has
the mama" toy got to your
town yet? If not, be of good
cheer; it will arrive. You will
know it when you hear it. 1t is
a little sqaawker with a practical
BILE mouth that pulls open by
means of a string. You blow in
1t, and pull this string, and the
thing yells "ma-ma!" In the
hands Cor face) of a person who
has just bought one, the imitation
of a child's cry is not so wonder
fully likelife. But some of the
vendors, who have practiced for
days, or weeks, with the thing,
can make it emit shrieks and
walls that are positively uncanny.
1t is a marvellous imitation of
the human voice to put upon the
market for the small sum of s
cents. The contraptions have sold
rapidly here, and are bound to go
yowling over the face of the earth
wherever anybody has a nickel to
spend for bit OF harmless amuse-
ment. Most of the dealers have
stock to the usual street mer-
chants haunts along Park Row
and Broadway, but the other day
l saw a Greek with a basket of
the devices drift onto Fifth ave-
nue., where the police do not en-
courage curbstone statesmen. Be-
fore a copper could sight him he
had a crown of well-dressed prom
enaders about him, betraying as
much human curiosity over the
mama-yeller as do any of the
humber folk elsewhere.
Some Mysteries Of an Actors
Makeup.
1t is subject of much wonder
ment to me why so many actors
and actresses seem to try so hard
in their makeup to destroy all re-
semblance to ordinary human
beings, such as one sees in daily
life. II man were to appear in
commonplace society wearing one
of the weird, outlandish wigs or
toupees that are nightly seen on
the stage, people would think he
was crazy. And IL any actor
can't make himself look odd with
a droll skypiece, then he rolls his
eyes, or wears spats, or paints his
countenance into the likeness of a
pastel by an impressionist.
Take Edward Emery for in
stance. Emery Is a mighty good
actor, who came over from Eng
land some years ago, and decid-
ed not to go back. He made q
great hit in minor part in 1.-THE
Great John Canton" last spring,
and is now doing excellent work
In The Ringmaster" as an ex-sen-
ator. who has become a trust mag
nate. After the holidays. 1t is an
nounced. he is to become q star
IN a new play.
