Those who say so talk as if it had come Into existence a century jor so ago. Certainly It Is not worse than it was In the times of the cave-dwellers, the men of beating. On the contrary.

It Is believed by the officers of the institute that the proposed astronomical observatory will be tlie first public teaching observatory established in this country. A third proposition was received, also of very far-reaching vnlne, and to the effect that when plans shall be matured for the proposed botanic, garden, one of the trustees of the Institute will present a large number of hardy plants for tha botanic garden and the creation of an ar- 1 boretum for scientific and ornamental purpose. lowed to land.

Men no longer "hate each ot her for the love of God and kill each other for conciliation."

The sum of two million dollars was appropriated for the purchase of lands necessary to the creation of McCarren Park.

Henry F. Haggerty, former Supervisor Edward J. Murtagh of the Fourteenth Ward, and George S.

Tbe city assessors valued the land that has bcen'tnken at $000,000, supposedly a full valuation.

After these assessors came three real estate experts employed by the city, and they valued the land at $800,000. That was thought to be a very liberal valuation.
