We had been occupying bench on
one of the paths leading from Powell
street. | followed my friend, who led
me with martial stalk-Tll wager at
one time he had been an actor and in
his time had played many parts-to one
of the beds of flowers that you and
many others among the flower loving
thousands of our city have stopped to
view and admire as you passed through
the square. There are three of these
beds-one at the west side, the second
at the east side of the striking monu-
ment commemorating the splendid vic
tory of Admiral Dewey in Manila bay
and the third close to Post street, di-
rectly north of the monument
Each Of these beds is now displaying
large yellow jonqui1s in profusion and
hyacinths of pale pink and of lavender.
Pansies-the posies that Ophelia tells
us are for thoughts"-are proudly
holding their velvet heads among their
delcately tinted companions. The beds,
indeed, are very attractive at this sea-
son ofsthe year. and a delicious fra
GRANGE greets one as he passes them.
My friend halted as we reached the
circular row of benches that incloses
the monument and remarked How do
you like my thousand dollar bouquet?
The flowers certainly are treat to
the eye and are delightfully."- fragrant

yet been educated in the intricacies of

other things distinctly feminine.
My neighbor was an Individual of the
lean and slippered pantaloonn type,
shabbily dressed, ~hair streaked with
gray, with several days growth of
beard. He had the appearance of one
out of suits with fortune. and, appar-
entity with nothing much to engross
his attention, like many others "in the
same boat, he had come to Union
square to rest and to admire and to kill
the time that hung upon his hands.
..Well?'-this to me.
"Oh-er-yes, the-er-thousand dol
lar bouquet" I replied, not knowing
in fact, for the moment what to say or
how to take my neighbor.
And then, collecting myself, asked,

from whom the invitation had ema-
mated was not upon my calling list

ignorance of any Thousand dollar bou

Moreover, the speaker had invited
me to take Whit of one of his thou

said ''whif." AS soon as 1 had looked

another real estate broker. from whom
he obtained an appraisement upon the
square of just a few thousands under

at this stage.

I related my experience with the
stranger in the park and asked the
realty broker what he considered to be
the value or the three flower beds In
question.
"Ofhand I should say they are worth
something like $4,000. others might
value them at a little less, and then.
again, a greater value might be placed
upon them.''
So. you see. the attenuated gentle
man really had not undervalued his
thousand dollar bouquets. For the
care of these attractive bouquets the
city pays out good money month after
month and year after year. And for

MEXICO CITY PLANS TO
ENTERTAIN THOUSANDS
Railroads to Give Special Rates
to Big Celebration

MEXICO CITY, July 13.-After a
great deal of correspondence the rail-
roads of the United States have agreed
to put on low railroad transportation
rates for the benent of those persons
in the United States who will decide TO
attend the centennial celebration fes-
tiyities in Mexico next September.
Mexico City is preparing to enter
tain thousands of visitors, and al
ready the hotels are being asked to
make reservations.
Mexico City will give cordial greet
ings to all who come. 1t is believed
that a large number of the daily news
papers will send correspondents, and
they will be treated royalty by the
representatives of the government OF
Mexico. Nothing will be too good fol-
the "pencil pushers" of the United
States. They will be given special op-
portunities to see everything that will
be going on. At the big event special
seats will be given correspondents, and
in many and various ways they viii
be made to feel at home.
Newspaper writer's from the United
States will find in Mexico many good
subjects on which to write instructive
and interesting articles, and every cor
respondent who comes here can readily
provide himself with sufficient data tc
enable him to write stories for his
paper for many days after the cele-
bration of September has passed into
history.

DISCUSSES AS TRAMP To
ELUDE IMAGINARY THUGS
Aged Hungarian Believes America
Filled with Brigands Wait
ing to Steal Wealth

NEW YORK, July 13.--Wearing the
garb of a tramp to give the impression
that he is q poor man, Lajos Berrar,
one of the wealthiest land owners or
East Hungary, has arrived here on the
last lap of a trip around the world.
Although over 65 years of age, Mr..
Berrar has never been absent from
his frontier home before, and he enter
tanned the idea that America is filled
with brigands and that only unceasinS
vigilance and the avoidance of ex-
ternal signs of prosperity can save
him from being robbed before he gets
back to Tizsafuhred, his native town.
When he registered at a local hotel
with two companions, both husky six
footers, he gave orders that he was
not to be approached by any strangers.
One of the aged mans companions Is
q nephew, Michael Berrar, professor of
chemistry in a school at Budapest. His
other companion is an Italian, who
acts as interpreter. This man said
last night, explaining the elder Mr..
Berrar's eccentric garb and customs:
Life on the frontier of Hungary is
very primitive, as it lies next to the
outposts of Turkey, and the folks there
have strange ideas about other parts
of the world. Mr.. Berrar has feared
all along that if he dresses in style he
would be robbed. We have repeatedly
begged him to buy new clothes and
visit the barber, but he clings to his
old clothes and ways, asserting that
no one would rob a man who did not
look prosperous. He has heard
strange tales of robbery in America"

NAVAL AND MILITARY
LEADERS IN DISPUTE
Japanese Believe Army Is Being
Sighted by Authorities

VICTORIA, July 13.-Japanese news
papers received today state much dis
sension has arisen between naval and
military authorities because of the cam
paign instituted for enlargement of the
Japanese navy while the army ac-
counts are to be curtailed. The Hochi
states that Admiral Saito, head of the
navy, submitted a scheme for naval
expansion to Vice Minister of Finance
Wakatsuni. The Niroku Shimbun says
the diet will assuredly be asked for a
large appropriation for naval incre-
ment. The Niroku quotes an unnamed
admiral as stating that the battleships
Katori and Kashma are out of date
and the Full and Mukasa nearly so,
and additions are urgently necessary to
Japan's navy. The hippo attacks the
proposed expenditure and says Japan
must now decide whether she will be
primarily a military or naval power
and her decision must be adhered to.
The Yomiuri earnestly advocates en-
largement of the navy, even though the
army has to be curtailed.
