The Death of Representative Bremner.

The courage with which Representative Bremner
directed his forlorn fight against cancer attracted
unusual attention. Unsound hopes were perhaps
built on his optimistic attitude and unnecessary de-
spondency may flow from the failure of radum IN
his case.
In view of such possible opinions it is well to
state that the Bremner proves little or nothing
with regard to the curative power of radium That
remedy was and still is in the experimental stage.
1t was used in this particular case as a fororn
hope with practically no expectation on the part of
the administering physicians that the disease would
be checked As to the curative power of radum in
earlier stages of the disease the case offers no evil
dence one way or the other.
The hope of radium remains as promising as ever
1t is for further experimentation to establish the
precise limits of its unquestioned power.

THE MISSING SWANS AND DUCKS
Why Van Bibber's Pond Is Bare Of
Waterfowl.
70 the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Visitors to Central Park since last
summer have noticed the absence OF the
usual number of waterfowl in the Plaza
Pond and have wondered what had be-
come of them. This absence is due to the
fact that the majority Of them are dead.
Twenty-,hree swans and about one hum
dred and ninety ducks died the latter
part OF last July.
The attention OF the present Park Com
missioner is called to the further fact that
this destruction was owing TO the former
Park Commissioner not allowing fresh
water 10 flow into this pond during the
months Of May. June and July last. al
though there was two-inch pipe leading
into each end OF the pond from water
mains and great reservoirs full OF water
In the park only a short distance away
His excuse was that IL was needed for the
drives. The result was that in July the
water OF the pond became so putrid. tur-
bid and poisonous that the keeper OF the
waterfowl one morning gathered sixty
three dead ducks from the pond and sew
enteen dead rats. The drains from the
drives south OF the Mall empty into this
pond. as also does a sewer from the Ar
senal.
There is no telling what effect the con-
dtion OF this pond last summer had upon
those riding in the swan boats. those sit
ting about the pond and the residents OF
the nelghborhood

that they evoked great enthusiasm, and
from that he illogically concludes, because
il was the first time he ever heard the

Dixie Land" was an air that had been
we'll known and popular there for long
time before he heard IL that evening
1t was even played in this city one or
two years before the war. II was brought
here in this way: There was formerly
here a celebrated military band known
as Mentors Band: in the spring of 1853

one of the New Orleans fire companies TO
furnish the music for them on the &C.

popular here. | remember one of our news

OF the word Dixie" which seems quite
plausible. former resident OF New Or
leans says the notes Of the banks of New
Orleans were formerly printed in Paris
and in French. and so bills had the word
