WANTS AN APPEAL TAKEN.
.Viewers for Seventh Street Made
Too High an Award.
City Solicitor Watson will send In n
communication to common council to
night advising that an appeal be taken
from tho award of the viewers who
agreed upon the valuation of the land
condemned by the city for the widen
ing of Scranton street at the corner of
Seventh. These a're the snm viewers
whose bill caused such a protest In the
auditing committee on Monday night.
Tho award which they made was
$700. Assistant City Solicitor Davis,
who repreented the city at the hear
ings, contends that $3.'0 would more
Ulinn compensate J. M. Helm, the
owner, and bellsvcs that an appeal
should be taken.
The argument Is advanced that Mr.
Helm should only be allowed a suffi
cient amount to build n retaining wall
and lay a sidewalk, as the widening
of tho street will greatly enhanc? the
value of the rest of his property.
TO ATTEND CONVENTION.
Weather Observer Clarke Will Read
Paper at Milwaukee J. Jj. Dart-
lett to Assist Him Here.
Weather observer Frederic II.
Clarke will be In Milwaukee, Wis.,
during next week, In attendance at
the fourth annual convention of Uni
ted States weather bureau officials.
Mr. Clarke will read a paper during
the session.
The conventjon Is to be on Import
ant one. as many questions of the
utmost Importance will coino up for
discussion. Among these will be the
suggested advisability of having the
managers attached to stations resi
dents of the city, Instead of successful
ilvll service applicants.
The position Is a minor one and
mote or less difficulty Is experienced
In finding out-of-the-city men who
will leave their homes nnrl travel hun
dreds of miles to strange cities, when?
the living expenses will completely eat
up the salary, whereas, no trouble
would be experienced In finding desir
able young men living In the cities,
where the station Is located.
It Is likely that the convention will
adopt resolutions In favor of the resi
dent system. During Mr. Clarke's ab
sence, James I.. llartlett will have
charge of the local station. Mr. Hart
lett's last post was nt Havana, Cuba,
but at present he Is on leave of nh
senee. He will continue here, as Observer
Cl.uke's nssltant, on Mr. Clarke's re
turn from Milwaukee. Mr. Clarke has
been doing double duty lately, as the
result of the absence of an assistant.
Halsey Dtinwoodlo, who formerly
acted in that capacity, but Is now a
"plehe" nt West Point academy and
will take the full course at the mlll
tarv institution.
He left hero last month on a short
leave of absence and wont to West
Point, where ho took nnd passed the
entrance examinations and physical
Instiictli.'is. He was nppoiittol alter
nate some months ago, and his prin
cipal failed to pass the physical ex
amination, on account of poor eye
sight. NEW CITY DIRECTORY.

I'OL. WATIIKS' SPKKC1I.
In the course of his speech. Colonel
Watres said:
'I hen- ,iii fathered here tnd.ij liiindinU of men
who tough' for their country and that tlag whlih
is it Minimi.
It I well to Knew the (iiend-hip of former
d.i'. l'r. ailer all. friend', true friends
.limine the real thlnirs of life. Without thmi,
the world would he .s wilderness; compared to
them, fame ami miny of the thlnifs o nzerly
touch! f"r, are but as soniidinj; luas and link
linif csinhal.
As ope hy one Ihey lene in, and bo otu into
tl' great tniiitiesvd po-ilulltles of the future,
and as e stand shoulder to ehmilder m the
duties nt life, little knowing who shall first
filler In his xtep; who first shall pas out of the
wun.hthe intu I he sliidow, It Impel' " to ilap
I'hwr the hands of the llilntr, and to no (,ihti it
our llu as tu merit our approa! and n-Kird.
It i well tu reWe the memories of darker
dun. nnd to piuse for a moment while our
tbiuuhi wander luili to those tlnii of awful
ulilfe.
The fnlted Stales, lislne from the lery a.he
o( Inr own iulii,lies.in to leallie, alninet too late,
the creat deli! -he owed to tlte in in who wa the
soldiers' friend and failier, the nation' inspired
miide; the man whu endured A tnarivrism even
wnrse than the nssissin shot whlih took away
hi life; the Kieilest Xmerican and the grandest
mm whom his generation had produced Abra
ham I.ini'oln.
nd the fluted Stale turlher began to recog
nise whit he owed In her roldierr,
she knew that to thoe hrae men Tio owed
the renew il of tin Indu'trle of pe.ne and pros
peril; the freul-'iu id an oppres.ed race; the
maiutenaiKe of her Mainline among the nil lor
of the world, and moie, even her ery identity
as n nation.
Mm. reioanlred thit In bringing this to pas. her
Foldlrr heioea had lost miny of the best years
of their lives; hid forfeited, -nme, the edueatlon
fur whlih they longed: Mime their wealth; mine
their fnndeit ambition; "me their frieinU, and
some, indeed, there were who Inst their all.
In return for thi the great heart of the nation
went out in deepest gratitude, and It will eer
retain .Minr noble deeds In lnlns memory as long
as time shall la-t.
Hut whit of the present das?
When the rim of battle hid reased; when I.fO
man bed In bmo soldier back into the union,
not aa ilefeited foe, but a brother returning
from a tedious and mistaken journey, your duties
as obber retsed, but your vlgalame a cttlzein

Hi:?T LAND ON EARTH.
When sou and jour eomradea bid established

and best land on earth, did jou not by tint very
deed cieate a new duty to sene your country

Did ou not create a new duty to stand by the

the wa kept clean and fair; tint her government
of the people, by the people, and fur the people
might not fall into unworthy handy, nor her

from tho training ship Vermont nt the

and swum nshnre. He had his clothes
on a board which he pushed In front of
him, but they fell overboard nnd when
he rt ached shore ho wns obliged to
don nn old pair of overalls and a coat
which he found on the docks. At tho
tlmo of his escape he was under Im
prisonment for running uwny a short
time before.
Superintendent of Police Holding
wired the authorities nt the navy yard
that Parsons wns locked up here and
asked that some one be sent for him.
He received a reply to the effect that
