abandoned and the mission upon which Willett had been sent was completed without further trouble.
 After Thomas Willett returned from Maine he engaged in trading. He col lected several vessels and began to do business with New Amsterdam which later became New York city His business brought him a reasonable amount of wealth and added to his reputation among the colonists as be- ing solid business man. and estab- lished him in relations of friendship with the Dutch on Manhattan Island which later led to giving him perma- nent fame.
 When the dispute arose between the Dutch and English over the boundary question an active outbreak of hostil- ity was prevented by cool heads. who induced the colonies to settle their diff ferences by arbitration.

In connection with my candidacy for the legislature from Jefferson county, I beg to submit the following as my platform:
 I stand for better pay for jurors
 Abolishing the fee system.
 Better educational laws and free text books in rural school districts; in line with what we already have in Birmingham.
 Direct purchase of school books in free text book municipalities and in rural districts.
 Better child labor laws, with the state inspector clothed with the legal authority to act
 A square deal for labor and for cap. ital.
 I was a member of the committee of labor representatives who secured the free text books for the lower grades in the schools of Birmingham.

ID HONOR THE FIRST MAYOR OF NEW YORK Tardy Honor Will Be Paid
 to Thomas Willett WITH THE PILGRIMS Was One of Earliest Settlers of the Country-Grave Long Neglected.
 How Reading the Bible
 Prevented Raid
WITH THE PILGRIMS

After being neglected and forgotten for nearly two and a half centuries the grave of Thomas Willett, the first mayor of New York, will be marked by a giant boulder, says the Providence Journal. In an obscure corner of Little Neck ceme- tery, near the village of Riverside the body of the man who first presided over the deliberations of the public officials of the embryo Empire City under Eng fish rule have been lost sight of since they were committed to mother earth in 1874. His grave. until very recently, has been covered with brush and briars in a corner of the farm upon which he spent the last years of his life, and so little interest has been manifested in perpetu- ating the memory of one who was a lead ing figure in the affairs of both Ply mouth coloney and New Amsterdam that the crude inscription of the little tomh- stone has become almost obliterated
 Thomas Willett, son of Andrew Willett, controversial divine of the Church of England, manifested at very early age that he had a mind of his own. He joined the dissenters at Leyden and when 19 years old came to America with a party of pilgrims on the Speedwell.
 Joining the Plymouth colony, he soon began to take an active part in it's affairs and soon attracted the. attention of Gov ernor Winthrop, who spoke of him as the honest young man from Leyden ' and as being discreet and one whom they could trust
 He was elected to take charge of the colony's trading post in the Penobscot country and spent several years in ad- justing affairs with the Indians. One win- ter. while Willett was in the down east country, there was a scarcity of food and the Indians conspired to kill the agent of the coloney and to seize the stores. Tn order that the plotters might have an accurate knowledge of the lay of the land one of their number, a saga cious young brave, was sent to visit the agent of the coionists.
 Reading the Bible
 When the young Indian arrived ,e found Willett reading the Bible. Being engrossed in the inspired writings. the young Englishman bade the Indian en- ter and then. without looking up. con- tinued his reading. When he did look up the Indian was no longer present. The young brave had abruptly taken his leave and returning to the .rihe informed the sachems that the English agent had already been apprised of .he conten plated raid, for he had found Willett reading all about 1t out of book and was very angry at his red brothers. Plans were immediately

Never was the fact that spring Is here better exemplified than it is now at the Avondale zoo. WorSmen are busily engaged in freshening the en- ttire park and before Commissioner Wards idea as to how the park really should appear Is finished it will have become one of the prettiest parks in the Birmingham district. And when the whole idea is worked out 1t will be the prettiest park in Birmingham.
 Cinders are being used extensively in making walks and a boulevard is being constructed around the hill upon which are the animals, the road to lead directly to the cave occupied by
 Teddy the bear. It will be cherted smoothed and will have boundary of stones on the lower side A pathway has been made along the entire west side of the animal pens, cinders being used freely to make symmetrical walkway. The street roller has been used to pack down the cinders and make the path as hard and smooth as a floor. There will be no muddy places to walk over, in and through this sum- mer and the animals are to be much better cared for also.
 Down near the bandstand and to the east of the concrete walled spring the cinders have been spread thickly and the street roller has made the whole smooth and hard. The cinders cover the entire ground as far down as the cave spring and along the edge of the duck pond and the wading pool The wading pool is being enlarged, concrete walls now are in course of construc- ton and the drive has been improved by the addition of cinders
 This addition of cinders makes Avon dale park the ideal spot for picnic par ties, for even if the party suffers A visitation of rain, the mud will be elim- mated.
 With all the improvements in the park 1t would hardly be in Keeping unless the zoo, too, were being inn proved. And it is Three deer. a groundhog and a peacock are among the new arrivals

noping the bird. He paused to glance at 1t and casually mentioned that 1t might spread its feathers, The pea cock replied never word, but im- medlately hopped down from his perch and with a sudden movement spread the entire tail out to the view of his small audience. They gasped with won der at its beauty spreading more than Tour feet across and almost completely filling the pen. The photographer not for an instant supposing the bird would oblige him by spreading his tail, was unprepared and had to un- strap his camera, place 1t on the tri- pod and get 1t focused. It was almost 10 minutes before he was ready to press the bulb, and in all that time the pea cock was strutting up and down the pen, majestically proud of his posi- tion and inordinately fond of display ing his plumage. The photographer at tracted the attention of the bird and It stopped for a moment it's rhvmic motion, faced the camera and stood perfectly still until the click of the shutter
 It then began a sort of slow dance, not unlike the motion of a Hindu hypnotist, moving slowly from side 10 side The difference was in the evil dent pride with which it showed off it's plumage. The bird turned slowly 'i CtA' tp SiNt us duuleHCb a Dack view of these feathers and when it heard their exclamations of disgust at the large quills visible from the back, turned quickly back to it's first po- sititon with an indignant squak The little assembly laughed at its indig- nation and the bird folded its tail and slowly regained it's perch
 Yesterday the scene was greatly changed. Monday night some vandal entered the pen of the peacock and removed all the tail feathers. His maj esty was deeply hurt. His spirit is crushed. No longer did the lordly strut proclaim to the world that he was the most beautiful bird at the zoo No longer did he challenge all corners In a beauty contest. The bright eye was conspicuous by it's absence. The live ly spirit was absent The birds dig nity had been affronted. It summed the cameras eye.

Englishmen to represent them: one of these was Thomas Willett, who was a leading man at Plymouth.
 Settled by Commission
 The boundary dispute was amicably set tied by the commission. After the de- parture of Miles Standish from the Ply mouth colony Thomas Willett was chosen as commander of the military company. He saw the possibilities in real estate and while it is not clear that he was a member of the Atherton company formed in 1869 to take up all the unoccupied land In the Narragansett country, he is men toned in connection with the activities of that company and was the original white owner of Boston Neck near Narragansett Pier.
 When the Duke of York seized New Amsterdam Thomas Wilett was chosen 10 head the expedition. The Dutch set tiers. who previously had manifested their confidence in the man, listened to his argument and turned over the village to the English without a struggle.
 With New York in his possession, Will lett turned his attention to the Mohawk country to the northward and by means of diplomacy made treaties with the h. dians of the Five Nations.
 In 150o he was rewarded for his labors by being appointed governor of New York by Governor Richard Nicolls. Thomas Willett thus became it's first mayor. The system of government adopt- ed was that of a board of aldermen. con sistng of five men acting in conjunction with the mayor.
 The next year Mayor Willett resigned his position and became member of the board Of aldermen. He was reappointed mayor in 1867 and served another year.
 Commissioner of Admiralty
 Later ne was appointed commissioner or admiralty and served under Gov. Richard Loveiace. He became a fuli- nedged New Yorker, invested heavily in real estate and planned to make inc new settlement his permanent home
 When the Dutch retook the island ,u l6iS they confiscated Willett's property with that of other English settlers Mayor Wlllett then retired to his home farm in the town of Swansea, which he had mr. chased when he was interested in req I estate. The part on which he built his mousse mas since become a part of Rhode Island. The last years of his life were spent on the estate and he died August 4 1874 aged 63 years
 According to old residents of East Prov ldence periodical movements have been started toward having monument erect ed over his grave. A score of years age a man from New York visited the cem- etery, located the grave and aroused a nope. among residents of Rumford who were interested in Little Neck cemetery that at last something would be done toward ittingly marking the resting place of the mayor.
 The movement died out, however. sev- eral years ago the Riverside Improve menf society took charge of the ceme- tery' It's members had the brush re- moved and an effort was made to have the brush and grass cut at least once a year.
