City Boys and Girls Till De Witt
Clinton Park.

The experienced and therefore more or
less discouraged farmer might have smiled
sadly at the enthusiasm shown by youthful
city amateurs in De Witt Clinton Park yes
terday.
The youths had several things IN their
favor that the older farmer would realize
he could not expect TO copy. Handsome
women teachers stood by the boy agrt-
culturists to cheer and congratulate them
on the skilful manner in which they planted
carrots, corn and onions
The park runs from SD to 54th street
and from Eleventh avenue to the Hudson
River. There were $50 boys with hoes and
rakes and spades. De Witt Clinton Park
is given over almost entirely to teaching
the children Of the city the science of farm
ing and the allurement of personal contact
with the sol
The boys ranged from nine TO fifteen
years old, and have been at work for the
last two days TO plant lettuce, radishes,
beets, etc, for the second time this season.

hibitive- Without definitely declining
these offers, they had individuals take
options on the property across the street,
so that to-day they have purchased 2l0
feet in East 10th street and 102 feet on
Lexington avenue for the church and
Tectory.
Tenants Hold Leases,
Some Of the tenants, however, hold
leases, for which they have asked what
the fathers consider an eXorbitant price
1t has been decided. therefore, to begin
operations at the rear Of the church, and
to build first the rectory and wing. and
by the time that work is complete the
leases will hare expired, so that the
other portion can be built without loss
of time. Indiana limestone, which
writens with age, has been chosen as
the material. as marble would prove too
costly.
When the church and rectory have
been completed a new school VIII be
built, and the old property across the
street will then be placed Oh the market
II is expected that II will by that time
have acquired a considerable increase IN
value. so that it will help to pay off the
debt which will be accumulated unless
the contributions are larger than ex-
pected. The total cost will be ABOUT

ROOSEVELT FOR BEST MEN
Must Forget, He Says, Factiona|
Differences and Party Lines.
TO ACT AS PRIVATE CITIZEN
Would Keep in Background, That
None May Accuse Him Of As
suming Dictatorship.

oyster Bay, July 27.-Those who heard
Theodore Roosevelt talk at Sycamore Hill
to-day came away with q sharply etched
shadow picture OF Wnat his attitude will be
IN state and national politics. Primarily
ne wishes TO keep IN the background in the
approaching campaign, for he feels that on
taking too prominent part he may be &C
cused OF assuming dictatorship
These views Mr.. Roosevelt has explained
to those who have come 10 see him recent
ly. He tells his visitors that he Is anxious
to take a hand as a private citizen, but ne
is willing to go no further.
Broadly speaking. he will, as he has said
on several occasions. do all in his power to
help the men who stood by him and his
policies formulated during his years in the
White House, but he is non-commlttal as
to whether he expects TO carry this to the
point of coming out openly in favor of the
Republicans all over the country whom he
considers TO be standing for his ideas.
VIII Support the Best Men.
He does say. however, that he must for
get factionaI differences and even party
lines. and support the men and the things
which he believes to stand for the best in
terests of the country rs whole. But he
has not made UP his mind when he will
take any decided stand.
The Republican situation in this state IS
shifting so rapidly that Mr.. Roosevelt said
he was having trouble keeping pace with
IT During tc-days interview there were
mentioned 10 him tho names of represent
ative Hamilton Fish and William H Hotch-
kiss State Superintendent of Insurance, as
having been spoken of recently in connec-
ton with the governorship nomination. He
replied by naming over the whole list Of
men who have been mentioned, adding that
he had no idea whatever as 10 who the best
man would be.
He repeated in substance his recent
declaration that the people must choose
their man, and that his nomination must
result from this fact. NOT because one man
or one set Of men wanted him To this
statement he added that he had not even
decided whether 70 attend the Republican
State Convention At Saratoga
interested in Eryan's Setback.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he had not been read
ing I'D on Nebraska politics lately, and had
not heard how William ]. Bryan had Jared
in The Democratic convention in that state,
The irtervievers broke the news Of the set
back to his former rival and Mr.. Roose-
ve1t asked whether the differences of opin-
ion had arisen because Mr.. Bryan went
TOO far or not far enough in his proposed
temperance legislation After he was told
that the former seemed to ft the case there
was nothing which he cared 70 add in com
ment on Mr.. Bryan.
One Of the curious letters which help to
make life interesting at Sycamore Hill
caused great amusement TO Mr.. Roosevelt
to-day. II was from some person, he said,
who denounced him for trying 10 keep from
the public the fact that he was interested
in roIirios
