Plea That the Ground Not Be Sold
But Taken Care of and Beautified.
Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL:
Please allow me space In your paper
to express my sentiments in reference
to the cemetery subject. Many years
ago our ancestors right from the
bosom Of slavery deprived themselves
of the real comforts of life and blend
ed their small earnings together and
bought that plot of land as they
thought away out in the country,
where they would never be disturbed,
and named it st. Peters Cemetery, in
order that they might have a resting
place for their weary and much
abused bodies without having to be
buried in potter's field.
Whilst they lived they kept it in an
excellent condition; level and green,
with nice walks. They did every
thing they could do to improve its ap-
pearance so far as their small means
would allow, but they have all died,
and they left il to the care and keep
ing of this generation, and how have
they kept Il? In a way that has
been pronounced a nuisance and a
disgrace to the community. The in

Probably few men active in the affairs of the
State would be more missed than Mr.. James T.
Shallcross OF Middletown, who recently passed
away. For many years Mr. Shalcross, like his
father before him, was interested in public mat
ters. He served as Recorder Of Deeds of this
county, as member of the State Board of Agri-
culture and for several terms as a member of the
Legislature He was much respected by all who
knew him, and in public life he will be best re-
membered, we think, for his devotion to the in
terests Of agriculture. He was one of those men
who gave rural New Castle county farmers the
high standing as citizens that they have attained

The punishment of wives and chli- dren of convicted men which the parole law has Iessened in Illinois also has commended to Chicago or ganizations a proposal to improve the espionage upon paroied prison CTS. A pending bill, prepared by joint committee reresenting the Civ ic Federation, Central Howard As sociation, which looks after released prisoners, the Hamilton club and other bodies has for its purpose the better supervision of paroled pris- oners and the increase of proba- ton officers so there shall be one to every fifty men on parole instead of one to every 300. The innocent women and children who are de- pendent upon convicted men often are the greatest sufferers from the punishment meted out for the of fense committed" said F. Emory Lyon, superintendent of the Central Howard association. 'The parole law has been an advantage to wives and families. for old offenders seldom have families, while the first and ac- eidental offenders more frequently do. From my personal experience with released prisoners I an sure that personal and political influence has had little to do with the re- lease of men on parole Our exper- fence has been that so per cent Of the men have completed their pa role with credit With better super vision provided by the amendment now pending I feel sure that the percentage will be considerably in creased and with such supervision it will be possible to visit the men frequently in their places oi employment"

The light against regulation of public utility corporations by which

CHlClAGO, April 26-The circus is in a sad decline. if complaints re- garding the opening performances in Chicago be taken seriously. Nova days the box office seems to be tfe main consideration and even ihe program, although filled with adveI- Using, is solo at "a dime, ten cents. to spectators along with the pop corn and peanuts. Several years ago the menagerio Of all eircuses began to dwindle. but gorgeous pageants were added as new and stunninS features which the old one-rinS, hare-back-rider circus did not pos sess. Now the pageant is abolished. the races are spiritless and prear ranged. nearly all of the acts in which real rivalry took place are gone and nothing but novelties on the slack wire and the aerial tra- reze have been added to sustain the interest The clowns are the same painted. slap stick clowns that the old wagon show displayed. g.ih the difference that the slap stich nowadays is loaded with a cartridge and the mechanical contrivances have few new if not comical ef- fleets. Everywhere the pruning hand of economy is shown and little of the old spontaneous zip and go which were the making of the cir GUS, remain. Where is the old thrill ing competition between the tum- blers as to the number of horses they could dive over? Where are the old jumping contests of dogs and horses? The circus is today nothing but the crude circus of twenty years ago enlarged and tam ed. Three rings have been added and the tiers of seats for the spec tators are enormously greater. but the momentum depended upon to fill the box office is that of the old time circus

Making Travel Safe.

Efforts 10 reduce loss of life in operations Of railroads of the coun- try made by public officials was given conspicuous recognition by the League for Public Safety at meeting ia Chicago when the death Of Secretary Edward 4. Moseley of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion was acted upon. His personal interest in promoting safety was in- strumental in great degree in the enactment Of present laws requiring safety devices as a result of which thousands of accidents each year are prevented. In the appointment Of tis successor, also. Chairman w. J. Wood of the Indiana railroad com mission has been mentioned because of his achievements in securing ad
 vanced laws for safety in his state. The compilation by Secretary Nose ley of the appalling facts regarding the loss Of life and injuries in rail road operations served as a guide in many eases and his personal devo- ton to the cause of safety finally aroused sufficient interest to secure the arrointment of a board of ex- perts which for three years has been investigating safety appliances of many kinds. Great reductions can be made in the number of acci- dents in railroad operations as com parative records Of safe and un- safe roads and American and Euro pean roads show," says a bulletin O the League. Public officials must be looked to particularly to seek out methods and means for bringing about this reduction. When cooper ation of employees in the cause of safety is secured the result is an immediate and sharp reduction, amounting to 90 per cent in known cases. In view of the present enorm- ous total of deaths and injuries, 50 per cent reduction, or anything approximating that amount in ten years's time will amount 10 saving Of life and limb as great as the to. tai loss of life and limb during the whole period of the Civil war.

 ID EXCELLENT WORK
Douglas Internadonal.)


 On Tenth street, between c and F avenues about 10:3O last night bright glare suddenly flashed up. a few seconds afterwards pistol shots were heard ringing out. then came the deep blast of the fire whistle. the department apparatus was jans- ling through the streets and within a few minutes the firemen with many volunteer United States sol diers and miIitiamen were engaged in fighting an intensely hot fire that was threatening two buildings and seemed certain to spread to one at least of them. Splendid work was done and the flames were prevented from spreading either east or west, though the frame structure in which they started was consumed.
 Last night fire destroyed the shops of Jack Hinton and C. D. Parsons. the former being paint shop and filled with oils, turpentines, var nishes, etc. The result was an IT, tensely hot and threatening fire. It seemed certain it would spread to the store of Uncle Jim. adjoining on the west, and so still further to the business blocks on avenue, but good work by firemen and reg plar and citizen soldiery soon had it extinguished. The loss to the frame buildings which belonged to James H. Finney. he estimated at s25O, un- insured
 There was criticism directed at the department last night for turning down c avenue and apparently d. rectly away from the fire. This was done in following previous or. ders of Chief Nemeck, and was proper. Until new and larger mains are laid Chief Nemeck has ordered his men, whenever a blaze appears to be serious or threatening, to pro ceed to the nearest I0-inch main, il 1t is not more than a block further away than the nearest main. This was the course pursued last night for the nearest 1O-inch main va: Eleventh street. Later the engine proceeded to Tenth and F, and, made connection, but did not start pump ing, as this was unnecessary, ans the engine was held in reserve.
 If any one was interested in th' work of the fireman more. than an. other it was James H. Finney, wh' owned the building that was burne, and the adjacent building that wa seriously threatened This morning he congratulated the firemen ol the work they did, and expresses his thanks for their successful ei forts.

Dr. A. won Loga of Berlin universi- ty and chief of the Royal Museum, visited the Art institute because there hangs Fl Grecos painting, The Assumption of the Virgin" among other paintings which in re cent years have been taken from European collections and brought to Chicago. This painting, completed in 1877, was one Of the greatest cou- positions of that period. It is set in a massive frame especially de signed by Boston artist, the frame being built into the south wall. Since it was first hung in the old Spanish convent of Toledo, Spain. the painting has had a varied his tory. First. it passed into the pos session of 6 branch of the Bourbon family, and later it was exhibited in a museum of Madrid.
