DANGEROUS NUISANCE.
Considerable compla!at;ift.8 . been
made recently by citizens In the habit
of visiting St. Mary's park on account
of the gangs of young hoodlums daily
tttfnaMtl that fIl3a Hnn fl-ffmiwt
It Is stated that a number of young
negroes t from ten to fifteen years of
age have practically appropriated the
swings recently placed In the park
by the Civic Improvement committee
of the Woman's Club. These, btiys by
their boisterous playing and loud talk
make the surroundings anything but
pleasant and It has been said upon
good authority that the language- used
is frequently most objectionable.
Only this week two mothers with
ailing children were ordered by their
physicians to take the little ones to
tho park for fresh air and recreation.
The noise and obscene . talk of the
young rowdies, who seem to have pre
empted the city's main pleasure
ground, was such that the ladies were
obliged to leave the locality. It Is
stated that as long as this nuisance Is
tolerated young girls should not be
allowed to go to St. Mary's park un
attended.,' .,' -. ..
This condition of affairs apears to
have been brought about largely by
tho placing of the swings referred to
In the park. These swings, as does
not seem to be generally known, are
not the property of the city but be
long td the Woman's club, to whom
they ; were donated by several enter
prising furniture houses In the city.
They are large and substantially built
and intended to accommodate a half
a dozen or more children. "'...n .
A case was noted recently?, where
two adults occupied the" swings for
three hours one Bioentottb the exclu
sion of 1' number of children who
came to thepM to enjoy thftm.
' The vJhtrfluhan at the park was fin
ally obliged to ask thm to permit
other: to use the swings While tho
latter case Is largely n personal affair
and Is mentioned only as In example
Of Mlftahuess, there certainly seems
to bo no good rason why tho objec
tiOn to the use of the park by those
who do not recognize what constitutes
giod behavior is not a valid one,
Whether the offenders are white or
black has no hearing on tho matter
and whenever their conduct la impro
per arrests should follow. Cairo
by ho means plentifully supplied with
jlacos ; for the children to play and
any condition preventing the use and
enjoyment of St. Mary's park during
the warm weather, or any other time,
should b promptly corrected.
A CIVIC IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE.
The city of Cairo .Has reached a
stag in hr growth wht-a civic hotter
men! should be considered. The aes
rne1c shou'd not be sac-Meed for the
utilitarian in the rapt! growth of ihe
nuiuic'jiality, but iu-dead civic an and
ivt iiKv?iwits should grow baud
is hand with the practical eiinstrue
rion of a-uHdints and :te laying off of
streets and avfmws.
To accomplish real civic betterment
there should be an organization in
Ca'ro'as in other cities o be' known
as a Civic lmprov?ment League. This
league shcuKl work for tangible re
cu)i. If jhe result of its work does
not come to the surface at onc it
will tend tu spread a sentinu-n favor
ing better streets, 'better location of.
the variou styles of build. ugs, wider
avenues, better sanitation and ell
.kings that come under the head of
c'vic betterment.
A city like Cairo needs such an in
stitution. The rapid growth and de
velopment al.mg industrial Uocs and
more extensive trade expatsion Is apt
to overshadow the aesthetic, and In
y-jars to come when Cairo has be
come a mighty industrial and commer
cial center its citizens will look with
regret uin their own city because of
its ugliness.
Civic betterment is a phase of pub
lic activity .'n which everyone can
?ive aid. It is nit contlned to the
be a itti flea tL n of the city alone. It
has to do with bitter paved streets.
symmetry of location, wider avenues,
proper location of public buddings,
factories, commercial 'houses a:id res
idences. beaut ideation of parks, park
ways and boulevards, as well as bet-
ter sanitation, ;he abat anient of the
smoke nuisance,' cleaner streets and
very thing that g ies toward making
a city beautiful and healthy and pleas
ant to live in. Its object is to make
a city that is presentable to the visit
ing public and pleasant to the citizejir
living within its boundaries.
The movement for civic bettermen'
means everything that tends to pub
lic improvement, that makes for great
er public beauty, that makes the pub
lic abbots of 1 fe better, more en
joyable, nior; useful, more beautiful
Civic betterment should Increase pub
He utilities in.itead of retarding them
Municipal art. should not stand in the
way of commercial act'vity, but
snould work hand in hand with It.
The sobar judgment of the best bus
iness men of the city should pa?s up
cn the organization of a' Civic -Improvement
League.

healthier city, a city more beautiful

inrtKan kw.t.hs in the endeavor, and
lioro is no necessity for it.
In speaking of the political aspect
of civic betterment, the editor of the
American Homes and Gardens iias the
following to ray: 'The civic better
ment' movement Is not nolit cal. but
verything that touches on public life
brings the agitators on the subject
irectly in touch with the civic anth
jrities, which in these I'nSted State?
means the .nolle exponents of our
political system. Aga'n, there is a
louble result: the non-political public
finds that It commands an effect on
he poliUcal body, and the non-poll
tician comes in contact with the noli
tician. Both part es make each oth
er's acquaintance. There is direct
benefit in this, even if the bad are
found to be worse than they were Im
agined to be. It is something fo-
the people to find out what sort ol
fellow-citizens they have set over theii
heads, ; ! . ,
This, however, is but an indirect
part of the movement, Civic better
ment is not political either In Its pur
pase or its ends. But being, In many
instances, concerned with public af
fairs, it brings its adherents immed
iately In touch with the political attth
orities. And so lone as the movemenr
is kept free from political entangle
ments this can only result In good."
Civic Improvement is a work Ir
which all 'should gladly Join. One
does not need to be a voter or of
full age to join In the movement, for
women and children can do as much
as men. In many cases women are
most activj and zealous workers; On
noes not; nave to no elected to a
public office, or to be designated by
an official body, to contribute his ef
roits to the uplifting of the common
Ity.' - - ,

"THE PERFECT WOMAN."
In a discutsi in among some friends
recently we were a dispute as to the
four requisite qualities to be found
in the finest type of woman, writes It.
D. in Harper's Weekly. A thought
t.iat these were the necessary charms:
I. A sense of religion; 2. an affec
tionate disposition; 3. A high rever
ence for maternity; and 4. Docility of
temperament. On the other hand, U
required: 1. Beauty; 2. H'gft spir-
its; 3. Intelligence; and 4. An affec-
t'onate disposition. B reminded A
that he had not asked for intelligence
in his perfect woman, to which A re
plied that she didn't require it. B
laughed this attitude of m'nd to
scorn, and said he knew a case at that
moment in which "such a woman as A
described was slowly boring her htts-i
band to death and actually driving; i
h'm from home by her insanity the
case being all the harder for the hus
band because he realized and apprec
iated the good points of his wife. A
retorted by saying that he knew a
case In which an intelligent and high
spirited woman as 11 described had
turned iter home topsy-turvy by know
ing more than her husband di that
the husband had slowly but surely
been relegated to the background, an:3
;he wife's "affectionate . dispo-ltlfni,"
instead of being -dutifully 'concentrat
ed upon her husband and family,, had
gone abroad for its satisfaction, arid
expended itself .upon men and women
kind generally. The argument was of
the sort that came to an end, and it
was agreel that the question wpuld
be sent to the ertlprlal tribunal for
settlement, in the hope that a formula
for "the perfect woman" might be
evolved.
Uncomplimentary Artist.,
When John S. Sargent,, the .'artist,
was in New York the last time he vis
ited the gallery of a niillkmaira whose
taste in art matters is not of the high
est. A thousand pictures were on
view, but they had been selected with
woeful lack of discretion. The mil
lionaire conducted Mr. Sargent about
the place and waited vainly for the
expected word of praise. At length
he said in despair: "At least. Mr.
Sargent you will agree that my collec
tion is a tolerable one, won't yon?"
"Tolerable yes," was the grim reply,
"but what would you think of a tol
erable egg?"
WIDOW WEDS AND LOSES $250,000
By the remarriage of Mrs. Coupland,
the widow of a Lincolnshire farmer.
he twon of Gainsborough, England, is
to have $250,(KH) for the foundation of
hospital for poor persons, which
will be known as the "John Couplaud
iospttal." I
Mr. Coupland, who died two years
igo, left tho money in trust for Mrs.
Coupand as long as she remained a
widow. In the event of her remar
rlage it was to be devoted to the foun-
lation of a hospital for Gainsborough
nd six adjoining parishes.
Mrs. Coupland, however, married for
he second time a few days ago, the
iridegroom being C. E. Cross, of Lin-
win. -1

estate was $100,000. Philadelphia

In the first minute of an action at sea

less than $1,000,000. the mountings
and the platform cn which they are

EUROPE'S RICHEST WOMAN.
'Her Name is Krupp and She Holds the
Key to International Peace.
The gnnmitker of E.-;sen is a woman,
a young woman, and the richest wo
man in Europe. She is Miss Krupp
daughter of the famous Iterr Krupp,
who. e death occurred some years ago.
Essen txists because of the Krupp
gun works, and practically all its ldO,
000 in habitants are dependent on her
for their work, directly or indirectly.
Miss Krupp is mere powerful In Essen

tour-by-nine kingdom. Pretty she Is
said to be she b; the richest girl in
Europe clever, it i.-r declared still
the richest girl in Europe wise be
yond her years again, the richest
girl in Europe simple and unostenta
tious in her denianorremenibcr, the
richest girl hi Europe and she is to
be introduced to roelety under the H
reel patronage of the Kaiser and th-j
Kalserin. There will be heart-burning
and jealousies, up-tilted Gtrman aris
tocratic noses, sneers and disparaging
comment but she is the richest girl
n Europe, and in these days, when a
people tumbles rt-yalty about as King
Oscar was fumbled in Norway, the
griatest heiress in the land cannot be
overlooked even by the court Itself.
The descriptions of Miss Krupp read
much as descriptions of 'rather plain
but very rich American girls do, Per
haps more interesting than her wealth
is the fact that by refusing to sell
arms to several nations. Miss Krupp
could insure their good behavior for a
while. They would not know where to
go for guns were she to cut off their
credit. "With the Procession," Every

A New Invention, the Telephotograph,
Makes Faces Visible By Wire.
'How well you're looking Uils morn

phonic greeting to bis friend a hun
dred miles away. Mr. J. B. Fowler, of
Piiiland, Oregon, has taken the nub
out of this joke by inventing an appar
atus by which images displayed before
a lens at oiw end of a telephonic wire
are projected uixm a screen ut .the
other end. Mr. Fowler invites hi;
visitors to talk with his daughter.
They place the telephone transmitter
to th ear. apjily the eye to an apt r

preparing now to show a train in mo

and declares that within a few
ears it will be in operation through-
nit the country. For some it may be
