Together-Not Apart
The money appropriated for the park on the West Side brings up the whole park situation in Richmond. Anyone who makeB a tour of the cities of the state will come back to Richmond with u feeling that Richmond has a right to the title of a "City of Parks." This has largely been a matter of accident up till now, but it is really because of an innate sense of the value of parks that this has turned the accidental opportunity which gave us our parks as an actual fact.
The purchase of a three-acre tract in West Richmond may seem a very little thing ut the present moment but those who know that section of town Ihoso who know Richmond must realize that the time is very shortly to bo here when it will all be built up. So one can lake a walk, ride on the street car. or come in on the train from the west without realizing that West Richmond is considerably more than a part of Kirhmond which has no individuality. There Is a sturdy and vigorous growth across the river. Other towns have by slighting one section divorced that section from the whole fabric. Richmond lias just awakened to the fact that West Richmond is a part of it and is entitled to just as much consideration as this side. What, we want to speak about follows on this. What is the ossibility of making our street construction accord with our park purchases. Uy the curious effect of the tangible upon the intangible a park system connected by boulevards will gradually merge into n feeling of onetiess and Identity all the parts of tho town.
Already tho Hawkins park addition seems in a way assured and this plan involves the connecting of a park system. Tho city of Richmond is growing and growing together, not apart.
The way in which this may be Is by: 1. Recognizing all parts of town. 2. Joining them together.
The little three acres in West Richmond has a larger meaning. The town is growing in the feeling of consideration and co-operation together, not apart.
WEDDED TWICE SAME DAY IN TWO STATES Spearfish, S. D., March 18. Married twice in the same day by the same minister, but In two different states, is the Bomewhat novel distinction held by Karl Crawford, a son of Judge Crawford of this place, and Miss Mary Finch of Ileulah, Wyo. Crawford took the Rev. 8. R. McCarthy, h local minister, out to Beulah to perforin the ceremony, first getting a marriage license at Deadwood. The wedding was solemnized at the bride's home, and then the wedding party started for Spearfish. Some one recalled that the state law required a license to be issued in the county in which the ceremony was performed. Waiting until the state border was crossed, the wedding party alighted and went through a second ceremony to make the contract absolutely legal.

H. of R. & S. 18-2t ROBBED OF SAVINGS FOR PLEASURE TRIP Paris, March 18. Fifteen years ago M. Mathieu Plessis, an honest peasant of Auriellac, decided that he must visit Paris. The necessary funds, some 150 francs, were accumulated by the systematic saving of twenty centimes a week, and the ambition of a lifetime was achieved when he arrived at the Gare d'Orsay. After leaving his modest luggage at a small hotel in the vicimty, M. Plessis went off to see the sights of the city. His first visit was naturally to the Arc de Triomphe. When he left that monument he scraped acquaintance with the inevitable "compatriots" with whom he had the usual refreshments, ' the usual story of an inheritance, and the usual demand to "show his confidence." The experience wound up with the usual disappearance of the compatriots and the money Intrusted them. The prefecture has repatriated M. Plessis and he is looking for the swindlers.

GO BACKTQ SCHOOL English Admirals Retaught War Tactics.
Portsmouth. March IS. Fifteen real admirals, captains and commanders have begun a special full term at the Royal Naval college, Portsmouth, for the purpose of undergoing a course of advanced instruction in gunnery and signaling. These middle-aged, highly placed and distinguished pupils wore gold ! laced uniforms and sat in a large comi fortably, but not luxuriously furnished J room in the college, listening for three hours with rapt attention to the teachings of round smooth-faced lieuten ants, who were much younger in service, but older in knowledge of their own particular branch of war work. The school is the outcome of one of the many reforms introduced by Lord Fisher, when he was first sea lord. Progress in naval science has been so rapid of recent years that it has been impossible for senior officers to keep pace with the vast number of improvements which have been made in every one of the highly technical departments of a warship. The admiralty, therefore, decided to establish a series of special instructional courses. The subjects chose are gunnery, signals, torpedoes and war. When the fifteen pupils they have all been specially selected walked up to the main entrance of the college the first thing they saw was a bold stenciled notice affixed to the , door containing the stern admonition: j "Please wipe your boots." j Having obeyed this commendable rule, the pupils trooped into the schoolroom, and, amid a hushed silence, they received their first lesson from a signaling lieutenant. Describing Signaling Methods. He described in detail the various methods of signaling Morse, flag, semaphore, wireless and submarine bell; then he made way for a gunnery lieutenant from H. M. S. Excellent, who opened his series of lectures with a most fascinating though, of course, tecnntcai essay on tne powers ana beauty of naval guns from the little twelve pounder to the monster 13,5 inch, with its range of nine miles. Among the officers who attended the class were Rear-Admiral Sir Colin Keppel, L. G. Tufnell, W. B. Fisher, C. II. H. Moore and H. L. Tottenham. For the war course a large sized model of coast and sea will be used, and wooden models of battleships, cruisers, torpedo craft and submarines will represent opposing fleets. Various intricate problems in strategy and tactics will be worked out, fierce naval engagements will be fought on the board by one section of officers against another.
