Less Lonely Club

Confident that New York Is the loneliest city In
all this wide world, the New York World says,
several men and women have organized the Less
Lonely league, with headquarters at 81 East Ono
Hundred and Twenty-sixth street The purpose is
to provide suitable meeting place for persons Of
refinement and education who are denied home
life.
L. J. Wing, wellto-do manufacturer. is tho
originator and president of the Less Lonely
league His own lonesomeness is responsible for
the movement, which is expected to gather thou.
sands of recruits in New York and throughout the
United States when 1t gets fairly under way. It
was through a letter to newspaper that Mr.. Wing
got in touch with the other men and women who
fell in with his plan.
Long ago I realized that New York was
mighty lonely place. Mr.. Wing said. II mean for

sons. At first thought that through church
might meet congenfal people, I attended one in
Central Park, west, but 1t didn't take long to
vince me that no friends were to be made there
I attended another church in Lenox avenue. The
result was the same. Now I don't attend any
church, but on Sunday jump into my motor car
and take ride into the country and let nature
preach to me-

clubrooms will furnish place for them to meet;
there will be entertainments from time to time.
We have received nearly 100 applications"
Lawyers publishers, teachers and others have
written asking about the club, and Mrs. Taylor
has had printed circular setting forth that -four

Naturalists Busy on Canal Zone

ENCOURAGING reports are being re-
Il celved by the Smithsonian institu-
ton from the. naturalists who are TAX
ing part in the biological survey of
the Panama canal zone, which was or.
ganized by the institution last winter
The principal branches of natural his
tory are represented in the party,
which includes seven experienced field
naturausts, nearly all of them from
the scientific bureaus of the govern
ment.
Naturalists throughout the world are
greatly interested in this biological
survey, because when the canal is
opened sweeping changes probably will
take place in the distribution of the
animals and plants. A part of the
fresh water streams of the 1sthmus
now empty into the Atlantic ocean and
others into the Pacific.
It Is known that certain number
of animals and plants in the streams
on the Atlantic side differ from those
OF the Pacific side, but as no biological
survey has ever been undertaken the
extent and magnitude of these differ
ences have yet to be learned.

first thing he did after reaching Wash

quarters In the senate Office building
from the northwest corner to the

For years, until Mr.. Cummins be-
came chairman, this committee had
been one of the "do-nothing" commit
tees Of the senate. In the last con-
gress It held hearings on the propo-
ton to provide for the retirement
and pensioning of superannuated en-
ployees Of the various government de-
partments.
1t now is proposed to embrace the
civil service classification and the
promotion and retirement features in
one comprehensive measure.
There Is no intention, it is under

branch of the government through the
proposition to designate by law the
positions that shall be filed under
the civil service rules. It is designed,
however, to make the rules more
rigid and to prevent in the future the

application of the rules by executive

Suddenly Monday night, there passed
to his eternal rest DR.. j. E. Hughes at
his residence in this city. A gentle
man of the old school, always courte-
Gus kind, generous and brave, he was
loved by a large circle of friends
wherever he was known. His entire
life, except for his war days, were
spent in this section, and his acquaint-
ance was extensive. Always affable
and pleasant, it was a pleasure to in
troduce any visiting stranger in our
city to him, as we were always assured
of a cordial hand grasp and a smile;
and he stood for the highest type of
our citizenship. We shall miss him
sadly from our midst, and We drop u
tears upon his grave and embalm his
memory within our hearts. To his sor-
rowing family we would speak the
word of cheer, consolation and hope,
and our prayers go up that the dear
God will comfort them in this their
dark hour. lrenaeus Trout.
