Ayres’ park on Third street, between Walnut and Ocmulgce streets, for for ty years or more one of Maoon'3 beauty spots, la no more, and the beau tiful shade trees that have furnished a cool, delightful shade In which thou sands of children have played for two score years, are now lying on the earth a conglomerated and unsightly mass of logs and debris, a sad reminder of the happy past. Between 5 and 6 o'clock yesterday morning the residents In the neighbor hood of the park were aroused from their slumber by unusual noises, and on going ato their windows were horri- fled to see the work of devastation and destruction that wus already under •headway. The work that was begun ns silently as the passing of a sum mer zephyr proceeded rapidly, and ns It progressed the workmen became bolder and bolder until the chips were flying In every direction and the pit ter patter of the axes on the large tree •trunks, together with the falling trees, mode a noise that aroused the neigh bors for a block or two away. By 7 o'clock the last tree wus lying prone upon the earth and the Indignant, but helpless neighbors, realized the fact that they .had been outwitted by the city government, who worked and planned while they slept. Many of the residents of the street could not sup press their IcUgnation. and while they did not say lutrsh things to those en gaged In the work, recognizing the fact that ahoy were only carrying out Instructions rrom superior officials, the entire city government was roasted by male and female. .' not on1sr residents of this particular, neighborhood, however, who are Indignant at the destruction of tile park .hut people living in all parts of the city who pride themselves on-Ma- con’s street parks and shade trees Were heard to freely condemn the ac- ft® tlle «I*y. It has been a long time since so many maledictions have heaped on the heads of the clly oinckjte. and to all appytrancm the In dignation Is on ithe Increase. Many complaints reached the Telegraph of. flee, and in order to And out where and W0 J k waa ordered a re- porter called on Capt. Wilcox, city on- fbM? T L a ?u asked hlnv sMte the accor ding to my plans J drew the plans I submitted them.to 'Mayor Horne and the ehafr- T, U , nC " a ^ 1 they met their ap- 5SJJJJ' Afterwards, when some of the naVun” 8 .oofoPtMned about the plans gPSLJSf the roadway to bo run In the centre of the street, .1 suggested at the Ocmulgce of T, hlrd 8tr «t. which would ®T ad J5« this street, but „!?L k Jt bp. Mr. Horne wanted the original plans carried out. which were to run the Toadway through the centre Of the street. To this Mr. Wrlgley, Mr. Fellew and Mr. Williams agreed, but others wanted the park preserved, and I again suggested a wall at the end of the street. Mr. Home was anxious for the original plans to bo oarrled ouUndtl told him that It would require^ lots of to&ckbone to carry It °u5' the pe °P le would raise strong objections. He said: "You furnish the plans and I will furnish the back bone. I had nothing: further to say, and the matter went to the board of public works, who ordered the original plans carried out. I am busily engaged on the sewers and did not have time to give the work my personal super vision, and left It In charge of Mr. Patrick, who is fully competent to do It and tor whose actions I am respon sible. I am sorry there is so much feel ing about the matter, but feel satisfied that after the people see what a beau tiful street we will make they will be satisfied. "At what .time of morning did the work begin?" asked tho reporter. "At the usual -hour for the street force to go tq work.” was the Vepfly. "Whait hour is that?” he ms asked. * Six o’clock,” was the answer. ClD». Wilcox further told of the im- provemennt that would be made when the work was completed. After leaving Capt. Wlloox the repor ter went down to interview residents of Third street In the neighborhood men tioned. There was not a man in the neighborhood at home, but he found one of the most prominent laddes in the neighborhood at home, and she was will ing to talk. Said she: ■"I was awakened* this morning by strange noises in the street, and went to 'the window to see what was the mat ter. When T erot to the window I saw the men cuttirg down the trees, four men to the tree, and they were work ing rapidly, and as noiselessly as they could. I.turned from the window and looked at the clock. It was exactly fif teen minutes to 6 o’clock, and my clock Is right the minute, -too. When I first looked out, .three or four large treo* were lying on the ground, so I think they must have started to work close about 5 o’clock. Mr. Patrick told me they started at half-past 5 o’clock. I think tho city officials have set a bad c ? a ^. e by . coping fike a thief in the night time to do their work." This l&tUe wbman said much more about the destruction of the park, and feit deeply hurt abopt It. as the wrk D M pIay * round .V™, 8 '. 1 "*?l n ‘ th ?

They Might Cause the Country to Lose Some Veteran Officers. Washington, Oot. 27.-The secre taries of the war and navy are deaf to all appeals that have been recently made to secure a football game be tween the naval and military academy teams on Thanksgiving day, and It la understood the policy is adopted as a result of Inst year’s game to prevent the two branches of the service from meeting again on the gridiron will be rigidly enforced. On that ppcaslon bitter animosities were aroused, almost culminating In e duel between an old rear admiral find a brigadier general, who were among the spectators. Bad blood was engen dered to such an extent that In’Virmy and navy club circles rival factions were formed. Secretaries Lamont and Herbe-- therefore determined that they would not take the responsibility of reviving the rivalry. The pressure brought tc bear for a game this year has led t making public the official rea«ns o’ the department for stopping the prac tice. After considering for several months the troubles growing out of last year’s game. Col.. Ernest, tn» superintendent of the military acad emy made a full report on the sub ject to the war department, asking for specific Instructions In the matter. M’LENDON ACQUITTED. Charleston, Oct. 27.—A spec!11 to tho News and Courier from Darlington, S. C., says: At 11:30 tonight the Juryr composed of Tillinanltes, brought In a verdict of acquiual of tho spy, .Mo- l/?ndon, of murder, THE HERMIT OF SAN CLEMENTE. Only Inhabitant of an Island Sixty Miles Off the California Coast. San Clemente Island, which liesCOxnllos west one-half south of Folnt Lomu light- houre, on the southern coast of California, Is 18K miles long, with an avorngo width of miles and an area of 61 S' square miles. It Is a lonesome spot, suggestive of Spanish buccaneers and pirates general ly. It rears it* ugly lu*ad of black pin* tonic rock nearly fl.OOO foot above the soa level, and in tho deep gulchos treasures a few sumac trees as a miser guards his gold. Cactus abounds. Natural wator tanks In tho rock are found on tho edges of the platoaus. They wero worn by rooks whirled around in holes during heavy rainfalls. Tho water in theso tanks has saved the lives of many a thirsty mariner who has put in there for a supply of tho life giving fluid.. It was hero.thatCabrlllo landed in October, 1549, after discovering San Diego harbor, llo named tho island La Victoria, after ono of Ids smaller ships, tho present name having been glvon a cen tury later. There is but one human being on 6on Clemento, the hermit hordor, Tom Gal lagher. Tom Is a character with a history. His shaggy head and beard and curious attlro give him the look of n savago, but Tom la very muoh of a white man in his heart, even though ho has lived alone with his sheep for over 90 years. Occasionally a straggling Junk seeking abalone, or now and then a fisherman, stops In the oave of San Clemente, brings Tom tho news and furnishes him with supplies. To loosen Tom's tougue the oxplorer must havo handy a chew of tobacco and a drink of whisky. He has a favorite water tank somewhere, but ho novor tells Its looatlon. Whisky Is a novelty to this hermit, but it never causes him to forget himself suffi ciently to rovoal the details of his main land lifo. He was a fisherman somewhere between San Diego and Monterey bay. Ho had good prospects, but ono day ho took It Into his head to live alone on San Clem ente. That is about all that Tom will say of himself. There aro people who claim to know Tom’s history, and it In a romantic story, they say,with a lovo affair in it, of oourse. Tho woman jilted him, and he sought tho Island clolstor. Tom lives In a comfort able hut, with a vcgetublo patch, chickens, a goat and his sheop. ‘His Is a regular Robinson Crusoe outfit, except that thoro is no man Friday to servo him. This lord of San Clemente does not want servants. Ho simply wants to be letalono, with only his animals and his gun for companions. —•San Francisco Chronicle. WORSE THAN HADES.

"What's tho matter?” sho demanded. ‘*1—1 had a dreadful dream,” ho gasped. "I thought wo wero both dead, that you had gone to heaven, ond that I—I hadn't!” "How perfectly awful,” she cried, grasping him convulsively around tho neck, "to be separated, and”— “Wo—wo weren’t separated,” monned Blank, with a shudder. “I—I could havo endured thnt! But no—no, I dreamed you were to be allowed to go shopping forever, and that I was condemned to go with you!”—Kato Field’s Washington. Next to Ham. Thoy tell a pretty good story of a tourist who ventured beyond Deadwood. He was determined to see all there was that could bo called wild and woolly and Immediately demandod to know where he could ride on a real stagecoach. The-Deadwood stage coaches of dime novel famo aro rotting, unused and unhonorod, on the sides of tho hills, but a stage line still runs between Deadwood and Spearflsh. Perched bosldo tho driver of this stage, tho tourist was delighted to find that this man had really driven a ooaeh in the good old days. All efforts to draw out some story or even a sage remark which could be earefally treasured and repeated wore failures. They were bowling along the side Of a creek, and tho tourist finally said: "I hear you’ve got fine trout In these streams.” No response. “Isn't there trout In this r stream?” “Umpbl” . • . '• “Fine fish, sir.” No response. .. . . “Don’t you like trout?” asked tho travel er in desperation, turning in his seat in a way that demanded an answer. "Next to ham,” was the surly response. The astonished tourist was delighted with tho result of hit efforts when he finally figured out that ham was onco a luxury and trout an everyday diet In that oountry.—Chicago Tribune. Mia Shared Lola’s Bonbons, A west side belle has as a pet a fine greyhound which answers to tho namo of Lola. One of the young woman’s many admirers recently sent her a large box of very choice bonbons of a more than usual ly expensive brand.

To this the young man promptly replied: DsjLB Miss - —Of course yon are most welcome to the bon boa*, and I’m *1*4 you like them, but as a matter of fact they were Intended for Lola exclusively. And now the west side belle doesn't speak to him, and she has confided to Lola that he is a horrid man anyhow.—New York Herald. The Second Marriage. A quiet wedding either at home or church is in every way the most suitable for a woman about to be married the sec ond time. And she should not, under any circumstances, wear either a white goern, a veil or orango blossoms.

Who Kirks Generally Get* the Best of Everything. It pays to be a "kicker.” It is tho man who “kicks" and demands to bo shown the ohart who gets tho best scats in tho thoater, while tho meek, unresisting man who simply goes up nnd passes in his monoy is placid at the rear of tho parquet circle behind.a post Tho "kicker" always gets clothes that fit him, I . ■ '•!;•■ Mllnr Is afraid to ofi< r him a misfit. But it Is In tho restaurant that tho “kicker" is seen at his host. Tho other regular patrons of the plooo wore In tho hnbltof coming in, quietly giving their orders, patiently waiting for tholr checks nnd then going away. Tho "kiokcr” would pound on tho table if a waiter did not immediately come forward to servo him. Ho was in tho habit, of sending back dishes thnt didn't please him. If tho ooffco wasn't piping hot, ba would send word for the manager to conio at onco, nnd to him he would offer vlolont oomplnlnt. Ho upbraided tho waltors If thoy wore slow in bringing a napkin, and if, whoa ho aroso to depart, there was no wnltor at hand to glvo him the chock and help him with his coat ho rattled a spoon in a cup in ordor to express his disapproval. In theso various ways did ho demon strate his caddiBhnoss, vulgarity and ill brooding. With what result? When ho comon Into tho place, tho man ager moots him at tho door to toko his hat And then makes despomto gosturos at the waiters, who aro attending upon othor customers. When ho is seated at a table, a waiter rushes forward to whisk away Imaginary crumbs and spread fresh napkins over tho clean tablecloth. Tho manager in tho menntimo Is at tho desk gottlnga newspaper for the "kiokcr” to read. Ho comes book with tho newspa- der and remarks thnt It Is "rathor chilly outside.” After tho waiter recolvcs tho ordofthe manager goes baok to tho kltohon with him to seo that everything is dono properly. If all othor work comes to a dead stop, that order must- receive tho re ligious attention of tho cooks. Tho "kicker” has a waiter hovering near him all tho time, and occasionally tho manager strolls that way to reassure himself that there Is no causo for an out break. Whan tho “klckor” rises, tho check is ready. His coat and bat are brought to him, and tho cashier smiles upon him nnd novor givo8hlni a heap of silver In change.
