SUPEIUXTEXnEXT FOR CITY PARKS
Proposition thai Provoke * a Prate *
from Kx-ComniUnloncr Cnuppr ;
It has been seml-offlcially announced tha
the Board of Park Commissioners will dl
vtdo Its responsibility for the earo ot th
city parks with a park superintendent , ivh
will be elected at the next meeting , and wh
will be given executive management of th
parks , employ the workmen with the ap
proval of the board and superintend the wor
that will be done , and otherwise assum
about all of the onerous part of the dutle
which have hitherto been discharged by th
members of the park board.
This arrangement does not please ex-Corn
mlssloner Casper at all , and he Is very out
spoken In his disapproval of the plan to dl
vert any more of the park fuads from th
purpose/ originality designed , payment fa
actual work In the parks. "The board fc
years past lias been doing all of this wor
without pay , " said ho , "and now when th
i new state law compels the people to pay : h
commissioners for the same services tha
have always been gladly given free It seem
I the new board wants to use some more c
I the funds with which to hire men to do It
work. The plan ought not to be a bit po ;
ular with the public. When the new Incor
poratlon law was first drafted In the legli
laturo It fixed the salaries of the commit
sloners at $500 a year each , and every on
of our members stayed at home from entire
on the Sunday we received the latelllgcnc
and put In the day drafting a set of reach
tlons protesting against such unnnecessar
extravagance. Wo tried to have no salar
at all attached , but after a long fight tb
best we could do was to have It reduced t
$100 a year for each ot the commissioner !
It would have been much better to have ci
peaded this money la the care and Improve
I mont of the parks. U li the city's mlifo :
; tune If the new board Is composed of hui
I Iness men whose time Is too valuable to t
given to the work , making It necessary fc
I tbo appointment of a superintendent. I
j the past the park commissioners have foi
, tunately beta men who bad ample lelsui
to devote to the work , and did It gralul
. ouily nd willingly , getting a sufficient n
I ward In the pleasure others got In the n
suits ot their work. H there U a implclc
t Htrftvigtnce In tbe park managemen
the first thing that wilt happen will be the
refusal of the taxpayers to vote Iho park
tax , and the commissioners will find
themselves without funds to pay their owner
or anybody's clto salary. I hope the new
commissioners will not make any mistake
In this direction. "

last nlgdt and took the action predicted by
ex-Commlsslcner Casper , electing a superin
tendent to have charge of the parks. The new
man la A. N. Lund. He Is required to visit
all ot the parka and report to the new presi
dent of the beard , Commissioner Smith , and

and hla teem of office Is limited to one year.
The board appointed the policemen for the

trol of the zoological collections. L. H. Wat-
line was re-elected to hla old position as

Wolfe.
Chairman Smith reported that he had ex
amined the tilgh bridge across the motor
track In Falrmount park and found It to be
In a dangerous condition. It was ordered
clcscd at once.
The commissioners decided that the band
stand At the terminus of the motor track wan
too small and In the wrong place , and they
decided to move It to a point above the
fountain In the horseshoe In the west side
of the park where It can be used for a speak
ers' stand. A new music stand will be lo
cated near the old site.
It was decline ! to pave the parking on thp
north side of Bayllss park in front of the
Grand hotel and permit Manager Clark of
the hotel to place a number of ocats there
for the accommodation of the public. All of
do old scats In BaylUs park were ordered
reir.oved to Falcirount. Handsome new seats
will take their places.
The board ordered the purchase of a new
flag for Falrmount , which on state occasions
will be flaunted from the staff at the highest
point In tne park , and will be 300 feet above

terday the announcement that the United

sort , the New Orleans , had arrived safely
at Halifax. Their eon Walter Is a seaman
aboard the San Francisco. Several letters
were received from him before the vessels

pressed that -an attempt would bo made by
the Spaniards to destroy the vessels after
they got to sea. One of thejettera declared
that the officers had positive information
that three Spanish ships had been ordered
to follow the vessels end attack them when
at sea. The letters stated that the San
Francloco's engines were badly crippled and
the ship could not make more than nloe
knots an hour under ordinary steam , and
with but half crews on both vessels he

loirn Pri'Mn Comment.
Dubuque Globe- Journal : Des Molnes hes
itates to undertake the state fair this year ,
fearing that an enterprise which has not suc
ceeded when without opposition will have
little chow in competition with tbe Omaha
Exposition.
Sioux City Tribune ; Mayor MacVlcar of
Des Molnes has been mentioned for congresi
and now there Is a boom for him for the
republican nomination for governor ot Iowa.
The latter boom , however , has a string to
it which U long enough to give Governor
Shaw two terms.
Keokuk Gate City : The new code provldei
that any person killing any of our numerous
harmless song birds or destroying their nesti
may bo fined $25 and costs and be imprisoned
in tbe county Jail until such fine or 'costs are
paid. Tbe provision Is a goad one. and should
bo enforced against all violators.
Davenrort Democrat : Democratic and re
publican papers alike show an Intention ol
standing by Chairman Larrabeo , ex-governoi
of the state , in his effort to get the mcsl
possible good out of the Board of Contro
law. It ! s not now a. question whether the
cnactment of the law was wise or not , but
cf maklng'the moat of the provisions In tbe
business-like application.
AIona Upper De Molnes : If a caucut ol
gold men bad met to read a silver papei
out of existence. It would be called a con
spiracy of the money power against tbe In
dependence of tbe press. But when the ell
ver members of the legislature officially de
nounce the State Leader , because it Is op
posed tb tbelr theory , that Is an entirely dif
ferent thin ; . This is a queer world. A
great many very good people believe in lib
erty liberty to think u they do.

A New Serial Story
"Ashes of Empire"
By Robert W. Chambers
Author of "Tho Rod R-jpublio , " "Tho Mystery of Choice , " "Lorraino , " etc ,
will appear in The Omaha Sunday Doc ,
Beginning April 24.
The New York Sun says of Mr. Ohambors : "Ho never draws a weaker
or uninteresting character. They are all fascinating. "
Rlch.ird II. Stoddurd writes : "Whoever baa read him will see the
hand of the master story-toller. "
The Literary World ( London ) says : "Mr Chambers Is a past , master
in the urt of sending the blood coursing in purest sympathy with
. ' , the fortunes or exploits of his puppets. "
X
/ "Ashes of Empire" is a story of the same qualities
as "Lorraine , " which drew from the critics the high praise above
quoted.
Its opening chapter describes the flight of the Em
press Eugenie from Paris after the disaster of Sedan (1870) ( ) . Two
young Frenchwomen , sisters Yolotto nnd Hllde are incidentally
introduced. Two yoang English war correspondents Burke and
Hare wood also appear , us accessories to the escape of the Empress.
Around these four leading characters Mr. Chambers has woven u ro
mantic love story or rather two love stories in ono.
The siege ot Paris serves as the background and many
of its most stirring scones are described with a drain it lo power that
recalls Victor Hugo's famous pen-pictures of older battlefields. The
chapter which plvos an account of-ono of the great sorties made by the
garrison of the bosleijod city and the battli of Lo Bourget , which fol
lowed , will quicken the pulse of every reader.
The two young war correspondents become sepa
rated in the pursuit of their respective duties ; and the house in'which
Yolcttn and Hlldo have their homo is sacked by the Germans ; and ono
of the two sisters U carried off by Speyor , a Gorman spy , Harowood
is wounded in the battle and is carried to the Nantorro fort. A pro
fessional criminal known as "Tho Mouse" and his pals , "Blbl" and
"Mon Onolo , " play minor but Interesting parts in the complications
that follow , and their characters are portrayed with the skill which
5 Mr. Chambers acquired by his long residence In Paris and his close
study ot Parisian typos. The story Is brought to a pleasant conclusion
with the reunion of the two .var correspondents , and their marriage to
Yolctto und Hilao.
Each installment o ! "Ashes of Empire"
will be effectively illustrated by competent
artists. It will bs one of the great serial
stories of the year.
