10 the attempt of the New York Central Railroad to acquire the reclaimed land lying west of the railroad bed between the tracks and the Hudson River. A bill Is being prepared for introduction n the Legislature, ceding to the rall--oad this Invaluable strip of reclaimed Tand. which the railroad plans to use for freight docks and steamer wharves. The opponents of this measure con tend that property in Riverside Drive -as depreciated fully 25 per cent and that the neighborhood will be ruined 'f the railroad is permitted to carry its plan through. ' Mrs. Charles Austen Brya:i, chairman of Mie Riverside section of the Wom en's Municipal League, declared recent ly that steps would soon be taken to test the Xew " York Central's seizure of property for its own sordid uses. Park Commissioner Stover, in dis cussing the matter said: "1 have argued against the usurpation of the Hudson shore- by the New York Cen tral even to the extent of Incurring enmity. It must not be forgotten that the city ceded the right-of-way to the New York Central under the condi tion that they cover their tracks. I in sist that these tracks should be cov ered, at least from Seventy-second to One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street. The company should be compelled to roof their freight yards at One Hun dred and Thirty-seventh street, as it is one of the conditions under which they got the right-of-way, and they should be compelled to live up to their agreement."

We think of grandmother' frarden as we ' think of grandmother' chest of home spun linen, packed away with lavender flowers sprinkled between the sheets, and of old lace and quaint, heavy ; hand-wrought Jewelry all as belong- j lag to a day that Is gone. j Hut the real difference In the car- j dens of our grandmotlicrs and the fear- dens of today is a difference In the spirit of jfrandmotlier's tlnie and of ours. Tile women of tho older gener ation made their gardens as they wove the linen for their brides' chests to last for a!l their lives &nd to be handed down to their children. There Is noth ing the modern woman so much lacks as a spirit of doing things that are to be permanent. She is restless, hurried, unsettled, lacking wholly that roise that comes from calmly accepting one's work in the world and facing It capably and cheerfully. Tne city woman of to I'.ay very likely calls up a florist over the telephone and orders plants already In bloom, perhaps, set out in the beds In her yard, and in a month or so she orders them taken out and replaced by others with which she is equally unacquainted. The grandmother ,that made the kind of garden we all cherish in our memories knew and loved each Individual plant. Difference la Gardeners. So. after all, the difference Is In the gardener, not the garden. We plant for a Summer, they made their gardens for the pleasure of a generation. So far as the materials for making the kind of gardon that flourished a gen eration ago are concerned, we of to day nave all that the older gardeners bad and much more. Almost all of the old-fashioned favorites have been Improved so much that with the same attention and care our grandmothers gave them we could far s-urpass the old gardens. So if there be any left among us with the patience, the gentleness and withal the serene belief in the perma nence of their work that characterized those gracious dames of 60 ysars ago. these may have even lovelier gardens than their grandmothers. But like the tearcher for four-leaf clovers: Ton must have faith and you must have hope And you must have love, they say." One of the chief charms in the old fashioned gardens lay In their Infinite variety. It would have been impossible to secure this by planting only annuals as baa been the custom in recent years. The prime favorite In the old gardens were perennials, like hollyhocks, fox glove, columbines and many others. These were combined with shrubs and bulbous things io such a way as to have blossoms practically the year , -K X -11 " ft ji it 5. is . -5- II I Y . 4 I I L , v.

In this climate It Is very easy, by a little careful planning, to have blos soms from the time snowdrops appear in February until the end of the chrys anthemum season, late hi November. Of course, we are apt here to have roses in December and even occasionally in January, so that there need be no month without flowers in the open in this district. Perhaps the best way to lay out a perennial garden is in the form of an irregular border, either along a path or driveway or skirting the edge of the lawn. In the latter case a background of shrubs is desirable. Of the perennials there Is almost an endless number to choose from. It the bed is shaded columbines, wind- old-fashloncd garden, should find place. Lavender should, of course, be grown for Its sweet-scented flowers and .its as. sociations? Gaillardias, coreopsis, snap dragons and chrysanthemums are per haps the best perennials for cut flowers but some baby s breath should be grown to combine in bouquets with all sorts of other riowers. The improved hardy larkspurs are among the love liest of all blue flowers. Pinks, with their spicy fragrance and candy tuft, are sure reminders of the old-fashioned gardens. Perennial alyssum and vck . cress (arabls) are 'especially good for rock work, while wall flowers are so early, so fragrant and so old-fashioned that they belong in every perennial garden. 'PUBLIC MORALS" SQUAD WOULD MAKE MORE JOBS FOR FAITHFUL Vew York Politicians Hail Gaynor's Idea With Glee, for Practical Reasons, but Graft Is No More Unlikely Than Under Present System Merchants Discuss Plan to Reduce Delivery Costs. BT LLOYD F. LONERGAN. ja I EW YORK. Feb. 12. (Special.) fJ Mayor Gaynor. commenting re- cently upon the vice situation, ad. vocated a public morals commission as a means of eliminating graft from the polios force. A bill embodying bis Ideas has been introduced In the Assembly. The bill provides for a public morals board. There are to be three deputies for Manhattan, two for the Brortx, two for Brooklyn, and one deputy each for Queens and Richmond. The public mor als police force Is made up as follows: Twenty-five captains. 100 lieutenants. 10 sergeants, 50 doormen. 7 surgeons and 1000 patrolmen. The board may maintain detective offices in Manhattan end Brooklyn, with branches In the other boroughs. "Vice Improvement Problematical. The new organization will attend to the enforcement of laws relating to Sunday observance, excise, public amusement, gambling, lotteries, dance or concert halls, the "white slave" traffic and improper resorts. Raids may be made by the public morals po lice on the written order of the Chief Commissioner. If two or more house holders make complaints in writing over their own signatures. Whether the publlo morals police force would improve vice conditions Is a question that only actual demonstra tion can show. There is hardly any doubt that the politicians would wel come the new department Joyfully, for it would provide numerous Jobs for the faithful, but It Is probable that the members of the new force would be as likely 'to graft as tire members of the regular police. The Fifth-Avenue Association, com posed of merchants whose stores are situated along that well-known thor oughtfare, are planning to establish a co-operative deliver system for Fifth avenue merchants. According to Rob art Grler -Cooke, president -of the as sociation, it would reduce the cost of delivering packages by 40 per cent. Co-operative Delivery Big Saving. "Members of the Fifth-Avenue Asso cltion." said Cooke, "have been working on such a scheme for a long time. We have found that It costs many mer chants on the avenue 20 cents or more to- deliver a single package. In some places the cost Is less, but 20 cents, I think. Is a fair average. By Introduc ing the co-operative system, it would be possible to reduce the cost to 12 cents a package. Ultimately, It has been suggested, this co-operative deliv ery system could be made to include merchants within a reasonable distance from Fifth avenue. The scheme would not apply to the large department stores, of course. "Aside from the saving In cost, it is obvious that the traffic on the avenue would be considerably reduced' by ob viating all traffic duplications. The wages for the delivery employes would also be increased and we would aim to have deliveries, to begin with, every two hours. Such systems are not un common in other cities, and our investi gation shows that they are successful." An old well, which it Is thought was built in 1677, has been discovered by subway diggers, who are working in the new Brooklyn Rapid Transit sub way under Trinity Place. The walls of the well were found under the east side, walk of Trinity Place. 175 feet north of Rector street. It is on a line with the north wall of Trinity Church and part of It Is under the retaining wall on the west side of the church. The walls of the well were lined with stone, and near by were the walls of an old building upon which the workmen still saw signs of ancient whitewash. In a book called "The Water Supply of the City of New York." by Edward Wegman, a civil engineer, the sources of the city's water supply Is given. The first public well was dug In 1668, Just CHIEF Hollow Horn Bear, the Sioux Indian who has expressed a desire to visit the National Capital for the Inauguration to give Pipe of peace to Woodrow Wilson. )s a professional junketer. The big redskin has made several trips to Washintgon as .an emissary of his tribe, and always he has had a first class reason for mak ing the trip East. - Hollow Horn Bear's Brat, trip into the heart of the white man's coun try was made in 188S when the gigantic Sioux visited the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, where his son. Friend Hollow Horn Bear, was a pupil. An incident of the trip is described by W. P. Campbell of this city, who was then an official at the Indian school. "Indian education In 1SS3 was In a precarious condition," said Mr. Camp bell yesterday. "We needed the sup port of the old Indians and on this visit of the Sioux chieftain depended to no little degree our future suc cess in bringing more young Sioux from tho Lakotas. Sioux Makes Address. "Hollow Horn Bear and his party had been at Carlisle for several days and Captain Pratt, the superintendent, now General Pratt, had taken tnem all over the grounds and shown them the children at school and at work in the shops. The day before the party was to proceed to Washintgon from Carlisle Captain Pratt invited all to attend an assembly meeting. "Hollow Horn Bear, sitting far back In the hall, was called on for a speech. He arose, and, without going to the aisle, came forward by stepping over the rows of benches with gigantic strides. The employes were all more or less apprehensive as to what the Sioux leader . would say, but they be gan to brtathe freely when they heard the word 'kola.' the Sioux expression for "good," freely Interspersed in the old warrior's speech. "Hollow Horn Bear spoke for seve ral minutes and then the Interpreter took up the speech. It was all praise for Captain Pratt, for tne school and for the Great White Father who per mitted such a school to ,be. Everything Pronounced Good. ' 'Captain Pratt takes us and shows up the boys and girls at woTk in the schoolrooms,' translated the interpre ter. 'We see them learning to read and write like the white man. That is good. Captain Pratt then takes us to the dining-room and we see our children eating good food which the Great White Father provides. That is good. Captain Pratt takes us to the dormi tories and shows us the nice, soft beds where the children sleep. That Is good. He takes us to the shops and shows us the Indian boys learning the trades of the white man. learning to make wagons, to fix farm machinery, to make harness and clothing, nnd to shoe their horses. That is goodl And Captain Pratt shows us the girls - learning to bake, to cook the white man's food and to sew dresses after the manner of the white woman. That is good.' "The interpreter had finished and Hollow Horn Bear began the final period of his speech. Captain Pratt was all smiles. Visions of a great del egation of new pupils from the Sioux reservation began to rise before him. We all felt we had won an important battle and that henceforth the big tribal chieftain would aid us in our efforts to take education to the In diansor rather to take the Indian to education. "Then Hollow Horn Bear again fin ished talking and the interpreter took up the translation! " 'But there Is one place Captain Pratt does not take us.' The Captain'F smile faded suddenly. 'That is behind the shops. That is bad.' Cemetery's Growth Deplored. Behind the shops was the cemetery and, in those early days, it must be ad mitted that that part of the ' Indian School showed greater growth than any other department. " 'What do I see there?" the old chief continued. 'I see graves, many of them, of my people. Education Is kill ing the Indians. Indian's feet were not made for the heavy shoes of the white man. Indians were not meant to be shut up in thjck walls. That Is bad. Indians were happy before the white man came. The white man Is not sat isfied with taking our lands. He must take our children and kill them. I have asked my little Doy where the son of my friend Is. He tells me: "Behind the shops." I asked him where Is the little daughter of my medicine chief. He tells me: "Behind the shops." What can I tell my friend and my medicine chief when I go back to the reserva tion? Can I tell him education is good for the Ilndans. but that It killed thelt children? No. I will hide my head and, when I must, will tell them that we must yield to the rifles of the white men who are taking our children away and killing them.' "Hollow Horn Bear went on to Wash ington, where he repeated his Indict ment of Indian education to the Pres ident. Nothing came of It, that is nothing was done toward abolishing the .school at Carlisle, but for years after Hollow Horn's visit It was almost Impossible to get Sioux Indians from the reservation to Carlisle. I saw the big chief many times thereafter and never found him willing to admit that we had helped any Indian by education."

It is thought that the well which has just been discovered is one of these wells. Missionary's Welfare Cared For.. A bill recently Introduced at Albany provides for the appointment of a com missioner of social welfare. His occu pation seems to be to wander about the state and confer with people 80 as to find out the best ways and means of promoting the common good. It Is hard to figure out just how much good will be done by this missionary to the people at large, but his own welfare is properly taken care of, for a salary of JC000 a year and 13000 traveling ex penses Is provided for' him. - There is not much likelihood that Collector Loeb will retain office after March 4. and as he has made a par ticularly fine showing during thef period ho has been In office much comment has been made over the fact that Important Government positions such as that of Collector of this port should be filled by political appoint ments. Instead of by men who are qualified for them. Loeb's appointment was an excellent one. and while he is cordially disliked by various millionaires who do not care to pay duty on articles brought from abroad, the general New York public feels that be is a good official and deserves to be retained in office. The Government departments can never expect to equal in efficiency and economy the large corporations until the various beads are chosen for their business ability and not for their po litical influence, and understand that their tenure in office will not depend upon the length of time their party re mains in power, but upon their con tinued efficiency. There is considerable opposition to LONDON, Feb. 22. (Special.) One of the worst errects of newly ac quired wealth' in both men and women is the ostentatious display of too much Jewelry. A man should al ways wear a seal or signet ring with his escutcheon, or initials, cut, on the llfla flnv.r nf thA ria-ht hand. The seal must read downward that is to say, the escutcheon, or initials, musi be placed so that they stand on the side nearest the wrist. The reason for this is that when sealing letters, the stamp will be correctly affixed without withdrawing the ring from the finger. I might mention. Incidentally, that tt is always best to moisten the signet so that wax will not adhere to it. I have a number of r.gnet rings.

I also invariably carry a small round pigskin case with two flaps for my gold and bank notes. I might say here that I find the English bank notes and gold cleaner and a nicer class of money than the filthy Ameri can "greenbacks." Of course, the ho tels have done a vast amount of good the past 15 years In circulating new bills but even so I , prefer silver up to $5; then gold up to 125, in )5 pieces; then Bank of England notes from 125 up. Of course, the engraving of the English notes is not so artistic as that of the American "greenback," but I venture to think that cleanliness Is a far more desirable quality. And me rarely sees a dirty English note on this side, while in America one as rarely sees a clean American bill. Lastly, I carry a small card case, a small engagement diary and a bunch of keys. I make-it a rule not to carry any more letters and other paper with me than is absolutely necessary for my affairs. At night I carry no let ters whatever and rarely my keys. It is always dssirabie to carrr as little in one's pockets as possible. I now rarely carry a silk handker chief at any time. Colored silk de signs had a run several years ago, but now well dressed men wear entirely white ones of linen or those with a narrow border of another color. My day handkerchiefs' are slightly larger and not quite bo fine a material as those I use In the evening. This ques tion of material is one of expense in my case. For my evening handker chief I pay $60 per dozen: for my day handkerchiefs only $15. This, of course, does not include an embroidered es cutcheon, which costs me $4 in each case. I might add that I am very par ticular in regard to this embroidery and have had It done by an old lady in reduced circumstances these past 14 years. MAN URGINGCRIME JAILED Brother. Incited to Murder Girl and Commit Suicide. BERLIN. Feb. 22. (Special.) A young locksmith named Carl Schroeder has been sent to prison at the Instigation of his brother. Paul, for inciting Paul to commit suicide. Last April Paul told Karl he was going to shoot his sweetheart and himself because he had grounds for jealousy. Karl encouraged Paul and helped him to buy a revolver and ammunition, pawning his best clothes to get the money for them. Paul then went off and shot himself and the girl. Karl went home and gracefully announced the tragedy to his mother bv saying: "I bet my head Paul and Hedwig are both dead by now." Both the victims, however, recovered, and Paul was sentenced to two and a half years' penal servitude for shoot lnir the rlrl. After the year in jail, Paul came to the conclusion that Karl had not shown proper brotherly feeling, and laid an information against him under the little-used paragraph of tho penal code making it a crime not to prevent a crime of which one has lore-Knowieuge. The court shared Paul's view of Karl's want of feeling and sentenced him, to his great amazement, to a month's Im prisonment.

LONDON, Feb. 22 (Special.) The annual report of the Labor Party of Great Britain records an Increased membership of 341,309, and shows that since 1900 the number has increased by more than a million and a half. Several charges made by the British Socialist party In its application for separate affiliation to the International Bureau, one of which was in regard to the relations of Labor and the Lib eral party, were dealt with by the executive. The allegation that the La bor party is a Liberal-Labor party caucus of a wholly dependent charac ter, says the report, is sufficiently dis proved by the fact that the party is always guided in giving Its votes In Parliament by the question that is before it. When the Liberal Government takes up an attitude that Is not In accord with the spirit of the Labor movement It meets with the opposition of the Labor party; and on numerous occas ions It will be found that the Liberal and Conservative parties have voted together to defeat the Labor party. This was notably the case In the amendment to the King's speech and in the proposition made by the party after consultation with the Miners' Federation of Great Britain to amend the miners' minimum wage bill. Fur ther, the electroral attitude of the party may best be gauged by the fact that in all the elections It has contested since March, 1911, It has run candi dates In opposition to toe Liberal and Conservative parties.
