Mill INTERFERES WITH PICNICKERS

jCounty Officials and Employes Driven From the Glen ... Yesterday.

jPENNY WAS REMEMBERED.

"COUNTY CLERK GIVEN A HUGE BIRTHDAY CAKE AND D. S. COE RECEIVED THAT WHICH HE HAS LONG COVETED.

It was a merry group of picnickers from the court bouse that the rain drove from Chautauqua Grove at Glen Mller park yesterday afternoon. The naughty weather man interfered to such an extent the throng proceeded to the rooms of the horticultural society at the court house and spread Its bounteous repast. There was everything to eat and the 10:t hungry persons ate ravenously. As usual the tables groaned beneath the weight before and those who partook groaned afterward. Harry E. Penny, who In official life Is county clerk, but at hoiro Is "grandpa," was presented with a large cake In commemoration of his birthday which was yesterday. His age was not known definitely, so sixty nza the number of yearB selected. There was not room for sixty candles on the cake so ono was selected for ecchdecade i The presentation speech was made by P. J. Freeman. On cutlng the cake the ;county clerk carved a large lemon. Demas Coe, county auditor was anjother favored one. It was stated by j Prosecutor eJssup that Coe always had i wanted a gold watch and it had been decided to give him one. The "watch" is a brass imitatioin about eight inches iln diameter and attached to it was a fob studded with brass tacks forming the initials "D. S. C."

Distress Signals ait "Sea. When ships at sea are in want of provisions and starving the signal used Is a pendant with a ball underneath. Should the signal be reversed i. e., ball uppermost It would signify that the vessel addressed was running into danger. If a ball should be hoisted superior to a large square flag it would denote that the cargo Is on fire or ship leaking and requires Immediate assistance. All J'distant signals" are answered by hoisting a ball at ship's masthead or masthead of signal staff on shore and are used at all times when the colors of a ship's flag cannot be distinguished. The above are international signals.

THE DEAR PUBLIC GIVEN BLAME FOR THE SITUATION (Continued From Page One.)

Seaweeds. Aside from their use as food by man and beast and as fertilizer in agriculture, seaweeds have numerous uses In the arts and sciences. From them are obtained soda, chlorides, sulphates, silicates, iodine, bromine and gelose. They have ever occupied an important place in the rude pharmacopoeia of the untutored savage as well as of the higher one of his more civilized brethren. Certain varieties are used In stuffing chairs and beds. They are especially suitable for the latter purpose, as their aromatic smell is said to drive insects away.

Finn Seal Jewelry. The scales of the sea drum are extensively used In the manufacture of the sprays of flowers and other articles of fancy work which are sold at seaside resorts under the name of "fish scale jewelry." They are large and silvery and so hard that It Is necessary to remove them from the fish with an axe or hatcht. The scales of sheepshead, tarpon, channel bass, etc., are also used for this purpose at times.

certain if the board has the power to change the franchise contract," he said. "I don't see any way to revoke it. The board wiuld not have signed if the demonstration had been made previous, but it is all too late. If the board had the power it would give a respectful consideration to the matter, but it is helpless. The railroad company would like to go on Twenty-second street, but there are objections. It would like to go on Twentieth street but there are objections and the board of works can do nothing notwithstanding the railroad company would make a modification and place the tracks somewhere else, but to the Injury of other persons. Mrs. Johnston Appeals. Mrs. M. F. Johnston, one of the "indignationists" declared that most of the people of the city do not know what the board of public works is doing about matters of this kind until the action is taken. "I don't know if you took as many pains as you should or not?" she said. We didn't know or we would have been here at the time. We have no ax to grind, but the owners of the Glen are the people and what it does not want a community does not have to have. A good many of us can't understand how you got into such a muddle. We know the merchants want traffic and ought to have it. The most sensible and reasonable thing is to make use of the tracks now laid. If these people on East Main street do not want cars, why did they build on this street where cars run regularly? Other people think as much of their homes as these people do and ought to receive as much consideration. You say this question is settled? No question is settled until it is settled right." Mr. Study suggested to Mrs. Johnston that she bring legal proceedings to stop the affair. B. B. Johnson of the board of works stated the residents of Twentieth street say they have cars now and ask why they should be required to carry ?ta additional burden. "The people of Twentieth street have as sacred a right as any others," he said. "The car company does not want to go through the park, the people of the city do not want It to go through, so why not cancel the contract?" asked Richard Sedgwick. "Why, it seems amazing to me," he continued, "when I remembered a few years ago the Chautauqua management wanted the street car company to lay a spur of track into the Chautauqua grounds. The board and council nearly had nervous prostration and now there is a big canal through there and they intend to run big interurban freight cars and the board and council approve of

the thing. There is as much reason for objecting to running the cars on the West Side as there is for running them on Twentieth street. ! Mr. Sedgwick became involved in an vrgument with Mr. Johnson of the board and the city attorney. Mr. Johnson stated the residents of Twentieth street prepared a remonstrance and

i claimed they would rather part with I the passenger car line than submit

to freight traffic on the street.

Frank M. Clark, of North Eleventh

street, asked why the freight traffic

will not be as damaging to property on

North E street as well as on East Main street. Mr. Johnson interrupted

him to ask why not have the freight

line on North Eleventh street, the

street upon which Mr. Clark resides. Mr. Clark replied that it is not a personal matter with him and if that was deemed the proper place for the tracks

he would not object.

"Didn't you know three months ago

the park was talked of and why didn't you complain then?" asked Mr. Study.

Mr. Clark answered: "Yes, I knew

it and the board knew it, too, but it went right ahead. I've talked with you "

"Why didn t you make a remon

strance?" Study asked. "All the people sat around and let the time pass until It is too late. I feel it unfair to

censure these men now," championed

Mr. Study.

"All of us know what the public

opinion is and if the board and city attorney are ignorant of it. I don't know what they do know," replied Mr. Clark emphatically.

B. B. Johnson recalled the public

meetings of a year ago when it was

voted unanimously to place the tracks on Twenty-third street and of another

meeting just before the final vote was

taken by council and the same senti

ment prevailed. He claimed criticism at this time is unfair to the board.

Gets in His Jab. The city attorney took occasion to

deliver his customary rap at the Commercial club. He charged this organization with "butting in" and trying to run things 'and at the same time vot

ing its approval of the Twenty-third street route. Frank H. Glass, who owns property

at Main and Twenty-second streets told of his purchase of this lot fifteen

years ago, because he knew the park would be across the street and the site would prove very desirable. He called attention to the beauties the street car companies have provided for the park, such as car barns and "canals." "It's an outrage," he declared, and I see we have no friends here to protect us." "Mr. Glass, you're a member of the Commercial club, aren't you?" Interjected Mr. Study. "No, I am not." replied Mr. Glass. "Well, I'm glad of that," assured the attorney. "And I am. too, sometimes, when I

think of what they have done in this

matter," responded Mr. Glass.

'Mrs. F. M. Clark directed attention to the dangers to children playing in the park, if cars were operated on

I Twenty-third street. She said the

company ought not to be ' allowed to place tracks so they will intersect one

of the driveways. Dr. M. F. Johnston

and the city attorney indulged in a tilt as to which knows the more about Lincoln park, Chicago. The doctor told the city attorney it is customary to keep street car lines out of public parks and the city attorney spoke of the way car lines in other cities provide access to the parks. Dr. Johnston asked about Central park. N. Y. and Lincoln park. Mr. Study is not acquainted with Central park, but asserted Lincoln park is a narrow strip along the lake shore and the car line lies adjacent to it on one side. The doctor said it is not a narrow strip and the cars are kept out of it. He told the attorney he surely has not seen it lately and the latter informed him it would not be wise for him to bet his purse on that as he had seen the park since the doctor. New Route Proposed. Another altogether new line of tracks, which would provide for street car accommodations to the north side of the lake was proposed by C. B. Hunt, the Main street grocer of meat inspection ordinance fame. He sug

gested the tracks be kept off of Twenty-third street and also North Fifth street. He proposed North Third street be used so as to do away with the Fifth street and Main street hills. It was asserted by Paul Ross, the druggist, who led the forces remonstrating against Twenty-third street as a track location, said out of all the persons he has talked to he has found but four, who favor the use of this street He favors putting the freight route on some street, where tracks now are. He says the reason the objections were not made sooner was because the public did not realize what the desecration of the park would mean. He maintained it is not too late even now to brine about a change.

The meeting was attended by a

number of the most prominent business and professional men of the city. There was an unanimity of opinion that a mistake has been made In granting the use of the unimproved

street through the park.

A BAMBOO LAND.

"Compulsory Greelc." To show you hew advisable it is that great attention should be given to the study of Greek I wanted to present "Oedipus Hex" on my London stage. I went to the lord chamberlain to ask his permission. "No," he replied, "certainty not." "But." I answered, "they do it at Oxford." "Yes," said he, "but they do it in Greek and nobody understands it. Play -it in Greek and I will give you my permission." That was compulsory Greek with a vengeance. Beerbobm Tree.

Wide t'sefiilneas of ThU Wonderful riant In China. A recent traveler in China impressed with the wide usefulness of bamboo thus states some Of the possibilities: A man can sit in a bamboo house, under a bamboo roof, on a bamboo chair, at a bamboo table, with his feet resting on a bamboo footstool, with a bamboo bat on his head and bamboo sandals on his feet. He can at the same time hold in one hand a bamboo bowl, in the other bamboo chopsticks and eat bamboo sprouts. When through with his meal, which has been cooked over a bamboo fire, the table may be washed with a bamboo cloth, and he can fan himself with a bamboo fan and take a siesta on a bamboo bed, lying on a bamboo mat, with his kead resting on a bamboo pillow. His child might be lying in a bamboo cradle, playing with a bamboo toy. On rising, be could smoke a bamboo pipe and, taking a bamboo pen, write a letter on bamboo paper or carry bis articles in bamboo baskets suspended from a bamboo pole, with a bamboo umbrella over bis head. He might then take a walk over a bamboo suspension bridge, drink water out of a bamboo ladle and scrape himself with a bamboo sweat scraper (handkerchief). The bamboo ingenuity and persistency hare produced (bamboo) Joint results which exhibit the potentialities and possibilities of the Chinese people.

But he succeeded in the end, and, though the outbreak of war and other hindrances prevented the invention from being actually placed upon ths market until many years afterward, the first complete cotton gin ever constructed was built from those very

Briarht Comments That Drop From the Lip of Juvenile. What could be more simple or more splendidly direct as a compliment to a pretty girl than the small boy's admiring question, "Are your eyes new ones?" No "grownup" person could have thought of that "A ruminating animal Is one that chews her cubs" there might surely be less thoughtful definitions. As for definitions, no dictionary has ever given anything better than "a movable feast a picnic" There is a delightful note of the night nursery In the beginning of a girl s essay on boys, "The boy Is not an animal, but they can be heard to a considerable distance." equaled perhaps In Its splendid simplicity by the boy's written criticism to the effect that "most girls are very shy and angry." It is the directness of the description which compels attention in vivid comments such as, "Just before it killed

me the tooth came out," and nothing surely could be more Johnsonian in its absolute truth than the answer given

to the painstaking schoolmaster trying to make the class understand what might be meant by the subversive word "antipodes." "If I bored a hole right through the earth till I came out at the other side where should I be?" "Oft yer 'ead! You can't do Hl London Spectator.

Ornithological Weddings. - There was a poetic appropriateness la two recent weddings which were celebrated In London in which Mr. Bird led Miss Linnet to the altar and Mr. Wren was linked to Miss Nightingale. Although It is seldom that one comes across two of these "ornithological" weddings in one day, they are by no meaus uncommon. Not long ago a church near publln was the scene of an Interesting marriage in which a Mr. Crowe-was united to a Miss Crowe by the Ker. Canon Peacock, the wedding march being played by Mr. Rook. Much more remarkable, however, was a match which set Edinburgh In a flutter sotns years since. The bride was Miss Henrietta Peacock, and the bridegroom was Bobin Sparrow. Tbe Rev. Mr. Daw performed tbe marriage ceremony! Philip Hawk officiated as best man and Miss Larklns as principal bridesmaid, while the marriage lines were extracted by John Crow, session clerk.
