Governor II. D. Hatfield has issued a
proclamation urging the people Of
West Virginia to observe Sunday

the Governor:
'No expression or proclamation is
adequate 10 imply the devotion, the
Tenderness or the holy significance
Of the one who never turns away or
ceases to love, cherish and admonish
regardless Of what others may say
or do. The storms never rage too
severely, the rain and snow fall too
fast. nor the arrows Of scandal fly too
thiekly to cause a mother TO relin-
quish her love and devotion for way

'There are no words with which to
express the holiness. the purity the
significance OF true motherhood Who
is it that calmly cares for the tender
baby. guards it by night and day,
watches over it in the innocence Of its
slumbers and awakens in the light OF
a mothers smile?
"The observance of Mothers Day
has been received with popular favor
and justly so No worldly renown.

KANSAS CITY PARK PLAN.
New System Of Taxation Successful
Producing Most Satisfactory Results.

New System of Taxation Successful,
Producing Most Satisfactory Results.
How Kansas City, Mo-, through tax
alton system based on dividing the city
into park districts, financed its cam
,paign for city beautiicat ton was told by
George E. Kessler, fellow Of the Ameri-
can Society Of Landscape Architects,
in an address at the recent national
conference on city planning at Chi
.cago. 5e
"This system said Mr.. Kessler, '.has
placed the park department of Kansas
City in a semi-indepen dent position
with reference to its funds and has
made Impossible to accomplish results
that would have been entirely out OF
the question under any other financial
system in that city.
II Gin practice the system is an amplifi-
Ecation Of the Single tax theory. 1t was
not accomplished as a matter of choice,
but as a matter Of necessity, and, mas
much as no properties had been &C
| quired under any other system, the tax
paying public finally acquiesced and is
constantly urging an even more extern
siye development in order that the en-
tire city may obtain com ensura at
benefits through impro vement IN 2 every

FlREMEN'S ANNUAL BALL.

What will be an annual event was
the ball given by Engine Co., No. 8,
at Eureka hall, for the benefit of the
Firemen's Pension fund, last Wednes-
day night, Feb. 18th. How eagerly the
people had been waiting for this date
was clearly demonstrated by the tre-
mendous crowd that was present, in
fact, the capacity of the hall was far
too inadequate to accommodate all
who wished to enter.
AT 1880 the company made an ex.
hibition run from the fire house to the
hall, where each member got busy in
welcoming their guests. The grand
! march, which took place at o'clock,
was led by Capt Silas H. Johnson
and was demonstration of some ar
tistic manuvering. The costumes
worn by the ladies were of rich varie-
| ties, and the scene was one of spec
tacular splendor The hall was elab-
orately and tastily decorated with
flags, bunting, flowers and potteG
plants, and figured in no small degree
of admiration and flattering comment.
The refreshments, which comprised
that of the best the market affords,
were served in abundance.
The firemen were in their full dress
uniform and as everybody puts it,
they certainly looked good" The
company comprises the following
members: Capt Silas H. Johnson,
Lieut. Thos. S. Martin, Driver John E.
Oglesby, Pipemen Alfred Froman, VIM.
A. Sloan and George Anderson. There
| is no faster or braver firemen in the
Denver fire department than Engine
Co. No. 3, in fact, whenever, this
company responds to a fire, one can
hear frequent remarks from white
people, complimenting the colored
boys as being the fastest and best fire
fighters in the city, and there is never
an argument coming on such remarks
The best of music was furnished for
the occasion and it was not until the
small hours of the morning before the
strains of Home, Sweet Home" closed
the most enjoyable event ever pulled
off at Eureka hall.
The Colorado Statesman extends
congratulations to Engine Co. No 3
for the tremendous success of theiI
entertainment.
