 City Hotel

Arthur V. Sheridan, who holds Q high position in the affairs of the largest city in the country, as chief engineer of the borough of the Bronx, with population of over one and one-half millions, will tell the Professional Engineers of the United States what they can do to help in the arrest of land devasta- ton and in the control of floods at the Connecticut Engineering con- gross in the Stratfield hotel July 25.
 This subject has been brought sharply to the fore by floods, dust storms, drought and erosion condi- tions all over the country, and the president has arranged conference to be held September 22 and 2S in Washington with leading profess sional engineers from foreign coun- tries to reach the final solution. It is hoped that great efforts necessary will be inaugurated before the end O. 1886.
 As editor in chief of the National Professional Engineering organ, "The American Engineer, Engineer Sheridan has a large influence to- ward consolidating engineering ac- ton throughout all states and his inc huence upon the congress is an tI1l- portant one.
 Besides being chief engineer of the Bronx and editor-i -in-chief of the American Engineer. Sheridan takes a leading part in many public activ- ities, he is past president of the New York State Society of Professional Engineers, the Association of Engi- neers of New York, and the Bronx Rotary club.

to be working too slowly. He never flinched when the snakes themselves, diamond rattlers, were brought in, their glass cage splashed with their deadly venom.
 Only One Comment
 Only once during 6 long and terrifying ordeal did his stoicisin open wide enough to show James in another aspect. That was when prosecutors tried to prove that he had also murdered his third wife for her insurance. The anger pump ed c bright color into the pale sal- low cheeks of the former barber, and he said three words: Tt isn't fa!rw
 Through the rest of the long grueling trial, James just sat, iFn- movable, apparently slightly bored, indifferent to the threat of the moose and accusations painting him aS the most morbid monster of modern times.
 There must have been emotions parading behind the nnask-like features of the red-headed barber aS he heard himself pictured as 0 pr. Jelsyll and MT. Hyde type of arch fiend who ct times was Q gay Lotharlo. But they did not show.
 Bad.Tempered Husband
 Throughout his life two sides of Robert James character have al- ternately expressed themselves. At the tender age of 10 he drew Q jacknife in c street brawl with aa- other urchin and slashed the boy on the arm. Later, between his free quent marriages, he was soft-spok- en and kindly. Married, he became harsh and cruel.
 It was the ill-fated Winona Wall lace his third wife, whose memory caused his only remonStrance in the present trial.
 She was hurt In 0 mysterious au- tomobile accident on Pike's Peak In 1882, but lived to drown later under equally mysterious circumstances in 0 shallow bathtub while washing her hair. The SiS,000 insurance James collected was blood money, PEVbeCuVOEb peAAeNSS
 Marriage by Degrees
 The latest marriage, to Mary, c former manicurist In his barber shop, was first SolemniEed in 1884 In Q rowdy ceremony performed by Q beer-hall acquaintance who knew the ceremony only by hear- say. They were remarked in Q legal ceremony three months later, however.
 And less than c year after that, prosecutors claim, James, with the aid of Charles Hope, tied Mary to c kitchen table, stuck her, foot into Q box containing two deadly rattlesnakes and then dumped her Into c fish-pond.
 Her body was found in the pond and her death ct first was believed accidental. James collected $S400 on her insurance, but later he was arrested and accused of tho grue-

impatient for the ceremony to be over so that she can at least leave her own husband. Hubby, 1t seems cheated on her once, years ago, and since then she has been a wife in name only, holding the marriage together solely for daughters sake.
 But as our matron scurries about in the hustle and hustle immediately preceding the wedding she slowly makes two discoveries: first, that her husband is still in love with her, and second-oh, sure, you guessed 1t.
 The upshot, of course, is that she doesn't leave him after all, and her marriage gets off to a new start.
 And something like that, my friends, is my notion of a vacation book.

VACATIONING
(Wishing everyone happy, restful vacation

(Wishing everyone happy, restful vacation) Meath summer skies of navy blue So far away, so visionary, fair We passed a healthful week or two Divorced from work and care. The svery sands were our Mother Earth Tossed on the beach for holiday; We became as children, red with mirth, Each one stoWaway! The cooling waters pure and clean, So plentiful and vast, At first received us calm, serene, But then arose in wrath. The ocean was our host, always glad To frolic with our every whim, Never tring, ever energetic, mad With joy inviting mortals in. No dread monotOny here! Each wave Was cooler, better than the last! The ocean was the tomb and grave Into which our worries passed. And at night when stars came out Surrounding the vacation moon, The ocean would roar and rock and shout For night had come too soon. It would work that we might play! That mighty power and creation that Only God could invent and display And perfect obedience exact! How good is God! In the ocean waters I saw His kindly beaming face. No wonder they are our vacation quarters Regardless of color, creed or race. Q ocean blue, and ocean grand, The stars and sun and moon As crown above thee stand Only to leave thee soon, For thou woudst work and slave and serve Rather than take on honors jewelled airs. And we left thee, strengthened in hope and nerve To return in time for bills and other affairs That rise as Frankensteins and accumulate Until the happy time when we take Our annual holidays on the lap of the sands And in the bosom of the waters
