Wooden Shacks and Rub
bish Will Be Cleared
Away in Spring.
COMMISSIONER WARD
TO PLANT NEW TREES
Circular Fountain To Be Re.
placed and Rest House
Frightened Up.

The statue Of Lafayette in Union
Square will soon have something more
pleasant to look at than the half acre
of mud, fences, rusting machinery and
wooden shacks that it faces at present.
Park Commissioner Cabot Ward has
announced that the Square is to be re-
stored early this spring. The work
will be begun before the annual vista
tion of the florists hides the present
ugliness OF the park with their Easter
blooms.
The first sign that the reign Of ter
ror was approaching an end came when
Lafayette was moved back from the
middle Of Fourteenth Street to his old
position on concrete base erected in
a field of mud. Washington will con-
tinue to head his bronze charger down
Broadway and the seated figure of Lin
coin, with the sparrow perched on his
nose, will still guard University Place;
but in back of them there will be shady
trees, grass and orderly walks again.
The circular stone fountain where
hundreds Of birds used to take their
morning plunge is coming back TO its
old position in the centre of the square,
and at the northern end the old rest
house will be restored to a less dilapi-
dated appearance than the neglected
and shabby air that it has worn for so
many years.
The ugly iron peristyle that wanders
aimlessly along the Seventeenth Street
border of the square is to be removed
and sold t. the junkman. Commits
sioner Ward has promised that, and
also that the brass scroll which some
irreverent vandal stole from Lafay-
cites hand will be replaced by an
other.
But, though the square is restored
and the birds, which are frightened
away by the explosions in the subway,
return for their morning bath, not all
of the old beauty can be brought back.
1t may never again be permitted 10
lapse into the dumping ground that
has been made of it since the days
when the first subway was built, al
most ten years ago, but the Old man
sions and the famous hostleries that
stood there at the beginning of the
century have gone forever, and the
charm of the square has gone with
them.
The Everett House. the Clarendon
and the arstocratic Westminster have
given way to business buildings, and
with them have gone the crowds that
used TO listen TO concerts in summer
evenings under the trees. But it IS
some consolation that Union Square
will once more be green and cool
resting place in the midst of barren
asphalt.

MAHLER'S MUSIC PLAYED
Fourth Symphony Leads Programme at
philharmonic Concert.

Mahler's Fourth Symphony, which the
Philharmonic Orchestra gave at its
concert in Carnegie Hall last night, has
had only two previous performances in
New York, enc in 1904, by the New
York symphony Orchestra. under Wal
ter Damrosch. and the other In 1911, by
the Philharmonic, under Mr.. Mailer
himself.
The work. despite the undeniable
beauties of the first movement, does
not improve with age. The first move
ment, based on a MEDIEVAL folksong,
possesses not a little freshness and
spontaneity, but the other movements
are of such q sameuess, there is such
a straning after effect, and a general
sense of complicated simplicity, that
long before the symphony comes to a
close il becomes WEAKNESS to the
flesh. The song in the last movement.
in which are described the joys Of
heaven, brings no Joy upon the earth.
It was sung last night by Miss May
Peterson. The orchestra, under Mr..
Stransky, gave a reading which was
well articulated and clear in express
sion.
The rest OF the programme consisted
of the "Ruy Bias" overture. Strauss
It'll Euenspiegel," and the Cesar
Frauck Symphonic Variations for Piano
and Orchestra. and the Paderewski
Polish Fantasia. Or. 10. the two latter
played By Ernest Scheling. The audi

Claimed Clock for England.

Lord Kitchener was one Of the most
Unsuitable of collectors. When he fixed
his fancy on an article he simply re-
fused to be denied.
The story goes that on his last visit
to France he noticed the clock in the
Sale de rHorloge of the ministry of
foreign affairs. NJ. BRAND himself re-
counted the history.
A King Of France had sent 1t by way
of thanks to an Indian prince who had
aided France in war against Great
Britain. The English sank the vessel
that bore 1t and 1t was many years be-
fore the clock was recovered.
Then 1t belongs to England" said
Kitchener 1T was a prize of war"
NJ. BRAND entered into a laugh
ing, half-serious discussion of the legal
points involved. in which he founc
himself hard put to 1t to resist the de-
termination Of the soldier. At last
Kitchener laughingly renounced the
clock. but only for the moment:
You shall give 1t to me when the
war Is over" said he, "as a gage of
victory"

PARIS. September 1.-TWO soldiers

This is forbidden to soldiers. Beer
and light wines mark the frontier OF
their alcoholic advances.
A general jolted by on his horse. The
two soldiers looked at him calmly.
They seemed interested. He jolted
back and stopped his horse.
Hey. you," said he. you mill

The two soldiers continued to look
at him. Ono of them slipped his brandy.
The other said:
What will you, monsieur"
The general had what would have
been a At in any person not completely

red. Then he regained enough breath
to place them under two or three sorts
of arrest. The soldiers continued to
regard him calmly. The second soldier
slipped his brandy. The first soldier
said:
