AROUND THE CAPITOL
Workmen Replacing Trees That
Were Killed by Severe Weather
OF Last Winter.

In replacing trees killed b. the severe
weather last winter the Government is
spending u large sum OF money this
year to bring the grounds around the
Capitol up to the former standard OF
beauty. While It is. Of course, impos-
sible to plant full-grown trees. the Cow
crnment has replaced the old ones with
young trees that will in time be just az
beautiful.
To make the trees more interesting !;
has become the custom to have them
planted by men prominent In the Gov
ernment service. Speaker Clark and
the late Vice President Sherman have
both planted trees. az have many other
men prominent In public affairs.
In order to have the trees In health y
condition all the time the custodian OF
the grounds. with a corps of wOrkmen
and experts. are continually spraying
and doctoring the trees. Many Of the
old trees have rOtted to a great extent
and the most expert stree Doctors ii
the country have operated on them to
make them healthy again.

Saws Turkey Trot" il
Crime.

New York, July 3d. Rev.
Edward F. Karigan, pastor Of
st. Patrick's Church, Long
Island City, one of the largest
Roman Catholic Parishes in
Greater New York, caused a
decided sensation among the
parishioners by devoting his
Sunday ser1nonto a dennnc;a.
ton of some Of the modern
dan ;es. particularly the 80,
called turkey trot." Such
dances, the priest declared,
are mot only immortal, but
criminal" He said that if he
we're sitting az a magistrate
and We're asked TO sentence q
couple charged with dancing
the turkey trot." he would
send the young woman to the
Penrtentiary for a year and
the man to the County Jail
for teree months.
THE lowest frequenteTs of
the great white way ht
added, "are less immortal
than the so-called respectful
Young woman who dance
these dances. The sermon
came as the result Of en- Incl
dent at a church festival last
week when two Of he parish s
prominent young people were
elected fer dancing the objec'
tiOnable steps.
