MARK twain
MEMORIAL
Colonel WatterSOn GlveS In
tereSting "reminiscences

New York, Dec. 1.-Recollections Of
Mark Twain's life were given by Hen
ri Watterson of Louisville in his
speech last night at the Mark Twain
memorial.
Although Mark Twain and l." said
Mr.. Watterson, called each other
cousin and claimed to be blood rel
atives, the connection between us was
by marriage. A great uncle of his
married a great aunt of mine; his
mother was named after and reared
by his great aunt and the children of
the marriage were, of course, his
cousins and mine. Though the family
became widely separated. we were
lifelong and very dear friends; passed
much time together at home and
abroad and had many common ties
and memories.
"Just after the successful produc-
ton Of his play, The Gilded Age, and
the uproarious hit of the comedian,
Continued on Puge Six.

one it is very encouraging, and gives
good promise for the season that is

During. the month the temperature

the month was As. This height of
temperature has not been exceeded
since the opening Of the station in this

once; which WAS in 1906, which year
was one Of the best crop years that
we have had for many years.
The total precipitation for this

since the opening Of the station the

Trapoid is not dead yet by any
means. Last night several resolu-

A long discussion ensued as to
the relative meaning and differ
elce of granitoid and trapoid. 1t
was brought forth by the petition
CT the Sixth avenue property own
crs, Post to Stevens, who asked for
s,anitoid.
After a long and laborious dis
cdssion, Mr.. Stone, the representa-
tive of the Sixth avenue people.
was nearly convinced that trapoid
and granitoid is practically the
same, with the exception that
crushed granite is used in one and
crushed trap rock in the other. The
name granitoid is patented and the
Lame trapoid is not, hence bids
from but one firm could be received
On granitoid and all contractors can
bid on trapoid.
This explanation did not quite
