son.. New York's commissioner of
health, declares:
There is no medical or sanitary
reason to prevent equine flesh from
becoming staple food. The reIa-
tive value of horsemeat abroad is
shown by the experience of our vet
erinarian, Dr.. Alderman, who found
that in Brussels horse meat from
England was bringing higher prices
than Argentine beef!
fHorsemeat can. now be obtained
by the thrifty in New York as well as
abroad, and hereafter, instead of be-
ing sold for their bones, old nags can
be fattened up and disposed of as
meat"
Commissioner Emerson indicated
that since the horse never has suf-
fered from tuberculosis and trans
mits no malignant disease, he ought
to make safer food than beef and
hogs.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals is pleased by the
move, believing old horses will now
be better fed and cared for. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether husbands
will equally be pleased, when their
thrifty wives begin to serve them the,
horse d'oeuvres, pony purees, per-
cheron porterhouses, fiery steed
steaks and other equine delicacies
now legalized for the first time in
America!

A CRICKEr MATCH.

The first match at Cricket this sea-
eon is already arranged and will take
place on Monday, April %. 1t is a
single wicket match, the contestants
being respectively, Mr.. w. STREET. and
an unknown, VS.. George C. Wilkinson
and an unknown. These gents are
considered crack cricketers in this vi
entity and as they represent either sec
ton of the city, east and west, the
greatest of interest is manifested by
the lovers and upholders of the fields
of sports. We trust that this game
will be followed by several during the
season. in which the best ''elevens'' in
the city will take part.

NO APPRoPRIATIoN MADE FOR
5 THE CARE OF THE PARKS

The city Meeting called this after
noon for4the purpose of making fur
Their appropriations to be expended
on the public parks, proved to be very
LARGELY attending. The Hon. James
C. Loomfs, Chairman of the Seaside
Park COMMITTEES, made a document
airy report in detail of the sums ex-
pended by them so far, and placed it
in the hands of the Mayor for public
reference and criticism.
1t appears that of the 100000 orig
inal1y voted, they have expended the
sum of s$s, 800, and gave it as his opin-
ions~ that al further approprfa ton of
$4,000 Is Necessary to completes the
work contemplated on the park
The Cha4fTdan of the Committee on
the WASHINGTON Park. the Hon. Ma
thaniel, Whee1ers ALSO made a report
which amounted to- 8 4,599, of which
$4,000 was appropriated by the city,
and the balance raised by private SUBJ
sc5fption. =.
A resolution was then offered to
make a fufther appropriation Of $1O,-
00QsSto go towards the Improvement
OF each Of the parks, which. after be-
ing kamenaed in different shapes, and
after warns and lengthy debating did
not prevail. A motion to adjourn for
two weeks was voted down, when the
meeting finally adjourned SINE DIE.

While less than $500 calls for stri3r
economy, the same pioneer spiritsthat
built up this country enables MANY
families to get along on less. People
who have a hankering for city life
will move into a ten story apartment
and have three or four rooms In
smaller towns. rents are increasing,
and many families give up having in
dividuaI houses, and move into two
and three family dwe44in gsIa1 iszB6te
ter than moving to a larger house IN
a less agreeable neighborhood.
Formerly many working people had
meat two or three times a day Now
many persons of wealth, on advice of
diet specialists, are largely cutting out
meat. They find a glass of milk equal
ly nourishing, more digestible, and it
costs far less. A good back yard gar
den of beans and peas and potatoes
makes one very independent of the
butchers lordly prices. 49,
So the family on less than $500
need not feel quite SO discouraged as
this government bulletin would sug-
gest. They have lots Of company,
among them many ministers, teachers.
and social workers doing the finest
kind of work in the community.

ANOTHER r.. r.. VICTIM.

Saturday evening the accommodate
ton train due here at 1903 struck and
almost instantly killed an unknown
man at the fatal Sterling street cross
ing. The unfortunate was waiting
for the 7:10 freight, which was cross
ing the, draw. going east He was
thrown fully 80 feet when struck by
the accommodation.
At the depot, before his body was
removed to the. rnorgue, a number of
persons identified the remains as those
of Nicholas Pagan, coal shoyeIer,
employed by Frank Miller & Co. When
Pagan heard of this he called at the
morgue and corrected the impression.
The dead man is believed to be a mu-
latto.

not the province of Journalism to say
where they will go. We leave that
to the pulpit. The ministers may be
trusted to follow them to the limit and
beyond. I think myself that we might
stop at the limit.
THE world to-day is looking to the
pulpit for a present gospel The trou-
bled sinner wants. to hear about liv-
ing Christ. Two thousand years ago
Jesus went about healing the sick,
opening blind eyes, swapping the fet-
tiers of sin and setting the prisoners
freee. That. sounds very good. We
like to read it. But we want to know
that He is doing the same thing to-
day. -
