Withoat dqabt tho Tree Planting as- soc iation of New York has undertaken a mosl beneficent work. So far ns it proves to be practicable , it will contrib- ute aa mnch as any other scheme that could bo projected for Iho embellish- ment of tho city. The incorporator!-are to a considerable exten t tbe same as the incorporators of tbe Botanic garden— men well know n for publio fpirit and Intelligence. Thns the society begins nnder tbe nscst favorable possible aus- pices , for caution nnd discrimination as well as for enterprise. Of course its work wil] bo largely ex- perimental. There are streets , even resi- dential streets , in New York in which It may not bo wise to attempt tree plant- ing at all , for tho reason that tbe space cannot bc ppared , cither from tbo side- walk or the roadway, for the boxes that must protect tbo young trees or for tho trunks of such ns live to maturity. Even jn thoso streets in which thero is room enough for trees thero are many places in which no trees can thrive by reason of tho lack of suusbine , und , indeed , thero nro scarcely any streets in New York below tbo pnrk in which trees can bo expected to do so well as ia a place liko Washington , where the streets or% so wido and the bnildings so low os to give all trees tbat may bc p lanted a fail chance for lifo. Almost tbo only streets in New York that aro as favorably sit- uated aro tho Broadway boulevard and tbo Riverside drive. Tho boulevard hai been until within tho past fow months a dismal monument to municipal neg- lect. Now it is k»pt iu order , bnt time is required tu rep lace the trees that have been allowed to dio , and tho donble row of trees that wero meant \hi g h over- arched to embower \ does not embower at all , but presents upou the whole a scraggy aud dismal spectacle. This , of course , comes mainly from neg lect , for thero is no reason why trees in tbis thoroug hfare slioulil not thrive if they can bo made to thrive anywhere in New York. Tlie general introduction of electric li ghting wiil do much for thc trees unless gas is still carried through tbo gtonud for fuel. It is given out that inn:,,illuminated earth will bo used for tbo setting of the new trees , bnt , judg- ing from what we havo experienced iu tbo opening of Fifth avenuo for a sower and tho previous openings of other ave- nues for laying cabl es , Iho p ercolation of tho gas throngh tho fresh soil would bo n matter of only wccks.it thc longest Tho new association is rl.iiuJy deslined to encounter many < Utaoles. If It suc- ceeds iu gaining even a partial victory over (hem , it will entitle itself to the gratitude of all New Yorkers. —New York Times. j TREES IN THE STREETS. AN X RAY TEST. Ari stotle Owen wsis professor of pho- tology and radiography in lho great sci- ence college which cccup icd thc site of tho whilom nquaiinisi aud presented u far moro appropriate vis-a-vis to tho houses of parliament. Its presence thero gently reminded oltl fashioned members that their constituents woro no longer men whoso fust thought was amuse- ment , but scientists , men cf culture , of largo mind , who needed enlightened leg islation and cerald no longer bo hood- winked by cleverl y strung together wo rds of d u bio u s moaning , or tlie reso- nant outpourings e f inflated wind bags of ro called orat ory. Arist o tle O we n , it ia ncetlli—I to say, wun n very clever man isi au ago when all men were clever , for tho timo of which wo write v. ' ssrj in the year of grace 1000. Scien ce had isiuelo gi gantic strides. Education was un such r*u extended scale that , though pecp!c istill starved fr om want cf thu ci-ainu n necessities of lif e , i. y Isssd (lie satisfaction of bem£ able to ;. •¦r.l yzo with scientific accuracy th e slow pi. . \:v \ . 'i cf the diminution of tissue and thi- certain approach of dis- solution. Yet , with all h ::cl~ * -cr::cs* , Professor Owen had been uuabJo io resist a pre- historic weakness—ho had fallen in love With and married a very pretty woman. Thi? , at first si g ht , appears ouly an ami- able tendency, to wliich many n great mind has heretofore been subject , yet was it of grievous import to the profess- or ' s pcaco of mind , for , thou g h in 1D20 science had made proelig ious and pro- g res si ve stn e les , v i rtue , nlos , had b e en se i mcwhat retro g rad e ; h e n c o it w aa t hat , ami d his most abstruse calcula- tions and subtle deductions , harassing thou ghts of his pretty wife would arise and disturb the calm , mental abstrac- tion which science d emands. In tho earlier and ruder ago it might havo been said ihat tho professor was jeal- ous , bnt th e le a d i n g medi c al li g ht of 1920 pronounce* it us his grave opiniou that Professor Owen .suffelred from ag- gravated cardiac accrhitude , an d the. nervous irritability produced by this in- sidious disease caused him to watch his wife with l ynx eyed vigilance and to note every slight inflection in her voice and manner. Nothing was too trivial to escape being, oa it were , instnut.inc- onsly photograp hed on bis mental sensi- tive plate* . Pro fessor Owen returned home to din- ner. Tho table was daintil y nrrsingcd , tho food exquisite , his wife: sit Use hesui of the table, iu perfect harmony willi her surroundings. \You lecture at thc institute tomor- row evening, do ycu eel ,, , Ari stotle?\ sho asked an t' j o sweets ;- .p:,c:sieel . \Will you dine sit home?\ Ho looked up quickl y. His mental sensitive plate \was quivering witli esig, r rece ptivi ty ::s ho answered i-lowl y: \1 find I shall not havo to lecture, \ Tho exprcsssiou of his wife ' s faco al- tered perceptibl y. A little rucke i- cf annoy ance contracted her pretty b rows , aud her lips curved downward willi a, disappointed , dejected droop. Thus was even a faint nolo cf elisiies- .i iu In-r voice on sho answered plaintively, \Oh , I thou ght it Wi'/. quite) rt tiled. \ . \Nothing but a scientific fne t or it luaUV'JJi 'iliral prclili jji.'iin lm rfuixidrrcil definitely nettled , \ ho i- .u s- .v, n-. l do g- matic ally; then added in a lotto l.ti thoug ht was gcj : ' :il mul fymp.silsi-iio: \I ho pe my presence will not ini-ou- vonienco you or disturb any arrange- ments yen mny have iniidc . \ \01. , not nt nil .

'' And Professor Owen rose , left the room and retired to his study iu a very bad framo of mind. The cartliao acerbi- ty was rising most prejudicially to the proper digestion of an excellent dinner . Hi s wifo was right He did not like Letty Oolightly. She was advanced in many ways even for 1020. Yet, with a strange inconsi s ten cy, she clung to many pernicious , old fashioned customs , too —skirt dan cing, bi cyc lin g a nd a love for mnsio ball songs , among thc number— and was engaged to a muscular hussar with a One mu stache and body, but n o mind. Serious as theso propensities were , t h er e wa s another f a ct , whi c h rendered her even more objectiouablo in tho prof e ssor ' s eyes—Jliss Oolightly possessed an unmarried brother who might have boon mistaken for the hus- s ar. This brother—alas, for the weak- ne ss of great men—waa tho large cause of the professor ' s car diac trouble. Ar is to t le Ow e n s a t thinkin g dee p ly, until bis meditations wero disturbed by tho tinkling of thc telephone bell. Not only ever y hou s e , bnt every room pos- sessed its telephone in 1S20. He rose and placin g his car t o the instrument listened \Can yon lecture at tho Peop le ' s pal- ace on 'Inchoate Hymenogeny ' tomor- row even i n g a t 7 o ' clock? \ asked the voice of a muejh e-steemod brother scien- tist Aristotle thoug h t for a mom e n t A flash of inspiration camo to him- He placed his lips to tho rube. \Yea , I c a n.

He crept down softl y, opened tho drawing room dcor , entered and closed it again ; then , turning on thc li ght , he stood still , his faces quivering, his hands shakin g with excitement. He went to the wall and stri pped from it a filmlike paper , wliich coiled itself np in snak y folds, Peeling the same curious tissue-like substance from a hi gh backed sofa , ho held the long rolls with the greatest care , and , pressing thc elec- tric button , left tho rcom and returned to his study.

[Special t?arri'3j,on<le.ice.7 A LUASY , Feb. 3. —The two groat top ics xvhich seem to absorb all legislative, atten- tion just now aro tht, Greater Now York charter and tho nomination of ox-United •States Marshal L. F. Payn lor superin- tendent of insurance. Tlio ono is not ready, and will not he prob ably for some time , but tbo other is vary mooh on hs.nd. It may bo xvcll right here, to g ' .ve the views of prominent legislators and visitors to the cap ital on those important iittojtlous. Sen- ator Wray is unalterably In favor of a re- submission of tho Greater New York sub- ject to the peoplo , and therefore ho is averse lo an eartv consi deration of the report ol tho commission. In this ho is joined by most of tbo Brooklyn senators and assem- blymen. But the rest of tho legislature poe m to bo in favor of expediting this im- portant question as they realize , to uso the language of ouo of tho members , \that tlso people particularly interested ln tho large oxtcut of territory covered by tho en- larged metroDOlls imiicmtively demand nn early settlement of the problem. \ This week tho corridors of tho capitol havo been crowded with visitors from New York nnd its surrounding districts comprised wi thin tho scheme of tho groatcrcity. Thoy bring myriads of suggestions and an endless lino of amendments to tbe recommendations of tho committee which has been Investigat- ing tbo question for c, year. The postpone- ment of tho Greater New York que.tlon in tho legislature meiwis either a long ses- sion or snap judgment on tho bill to lie sent here by tbe. commission. Senator Grady says he will light to the bitter end any snap decisions , and Senator Cantor deolareo thot the most important measure ot tho session- shall havo a lair bearing or there will ba a most decideel row. On the other hand , Senators Pavey, Ford anel Page' , xvho are the Neiw York ropr fesontatives of tho majority In tho sen- ate, declare that thero is not the Slightest ground for ilu. assertion that this prepon- derating subject is to bu settled of hand without dun deliberation. Souutoi* Pavcy in particular Is. emp hatic ln hisdccjai-atlou tlsat \the creatiou of the srcsite-st niuulcl- pal oomm unity on Uie Americans conti- nent is nol a question to be rushed t hrougb. Apart from the Inherent injustice Of decid- ing grave public questions wiHI—ut duo consideration , there is tho additional ob- jection of elitshlng witli the c.n.r3Mtistlo.\ at every stop. \ Senator Pago thinks nlss, tbat -' agrcatiloalnf c are must be exercised ln uvoiellng unp leasant complications ln framing a charter and system of govern- mont for the now city. \ The Republican assemblymen from New- York city without exception subrscribo to the same op inion. Messrs Van Colt , Aellor ,. Sullivan , Mazet , Glllel.ind. Murphy, Aus- tin , Brown , Lnlml—cr , Audrews , Degnsen ,. Roin ' nard and Mathcwsou have all dcclorceH themselves in favor nt i. tali and exhaust- ive consideration cf tho question. The. representatives ol' t ' .m il' tslircts or cities to. be annoxesl to the metropolis , one and all ,, desire to havo their say in tho debates Ins either hous?. Ther*. ' . r oroit looks very much , as if tbe discussion ou tho Greater New- York commission re-port xvill bo prolongeel. lo an tixtent far bey on d tho period contem - plated by the leaders in both houses. There is, of ciur*. ' , tbo previous ques- tion check , which may bo app lied at any- time. But it is unlikely that such a bull* will bn cnllcel until the majority of tbose» lntcrcHtoel aro sssii J K / SCS J. Air. I' riyii ' * Nomination. There Is a illversfty of opinion In lngl«- lativi. circles regarding tho nomination of Mr. I/Milr, !¦ ' . Payn fir tbu position of su- pojintentiont of liisii . -sinte. Ho bun many fitiinch sui'isorii-i. . . who believe In bl. abil- ity and Htnilgl.tforwarilnoAs. They havo never faltered tur u mtintei.t la their ad- vocacy of his sclct'ttoii for tlso most Irzipor- taut nntl mos t valuable p-jsitlon ht tho gift of tho governor. Tlien tht'i-o is another body of Ilcpublk-ans equally pe»- alstent in thoir opposition to tho nomina- tion and confirmation of Mr. Payn. Sen- ator Pavey of New York i. at tbo bead of this body. He doca cot disguisfthls an- tipathy to the surerlnlendcntwho is to bo and has expre;*scd himself openly ln tho senate on the tsubjeut. But there , xvill bo no serious objection to any nomination sent to the senate by tho governor. The -e-xocutl ve wields . '. paramount iiifiuenco over legislation xvhich cannot be woll i g- nored. Every senator hns some particular bill , gen erally of alixal character , In which he Is not only especially interested , but upon which , perhaps , bis political future largely depend.. . Ilu may kill such a bill by incurring the enmity of the governor. His constituents will not stop to consider the exact reasons for tho death of tho bill , but will , more than likely, visit upon tho senator their indignation and disappoint- ment. This ls naturally confined to sena- tors belonging to the majority sad to Uis same party as the Governor. Tbo others aro not expected to be able to command executive compliance with tbe wishes of their constituent*. There will bo no bllob worth speoktn g of In the dhrpwfclon of Gov- ernor Black' s nominations srnztto the sen- ate. He holds the whi p hand over leg isla- tion , and that alone , apart from tbe men-it of th. nominee-* , Is snfilc ' .ent to bring about early tonisrmsitiou. An Important .dose. The proposition by a bill to be Intro- duced tbis session to abolish the capltot commission, consisting of tbo governor . lieutenant governor send i-pcaker of the e«- A-emhly, and to substitute for it tbe sole au- thority of tho coma.issioncT ' of publio works is at present a .abject of finfmato al •lUcussk.ti around the corrielors. Tbe sug- gestion comes tram tbo governor , wbo Is of the opinion that thc three Important, state officials composing the capitol com- mission have quits- enough of duties snd: responsibilities without being burdened, with tbe troubles ot doling out tbe petty patronage of thc big building, which, oner all , ls more of local than state patronajjo. At the ssimo time the governor haa ex- Frcasoel himself very strong ly ln regard to tbe use xvhich hn* boca mado of the cap itol as a general dumping ground for politi- cians out of a job. Ho says that tho super- intendent of public works , Mr. Aldridge, ls the proper person to take charge of tbe capitol , as well nsof tha other public works of the state. He argues that the governor , nontenant governor or speaker cannot have the same opport u nities of knowing what Uncces sary for a full complement of labor ln state work and ln tbe state buildings aa Mr. Aldridge posseuMg , ln the natural experi- ence of his position. Should the change be made , and the probabilities are ln Its favor , Albany will lose n vast amount of patron- age , for Albany bas ttlwnya had tho Hon * , share of ths patronage of the capitol com- mission , amounting to tens of thousands of dollars. Tho department of public works will undoubtedly distribute tho best po»l - tion? , somo 200 In number , over the state , Instead ot practically confining tbem to Albany. It Is unnecessary to stato that the projected move Is not in favor in this city. Committee Hearing,. This week will bo mainly Interesting In fche committee rooms. The senate commit- tee on ' mlscellancous corporations has taken up tho Cantor municipal gas commission bill , which alms at bringing tho gas com- panies ln elites of the iirst class under the closo supervision of tbo officials who are now empowered by law to let out munici- pal gaa contracts. Not only ls the reduc- tion of gaa rates, contemp lated In thla bill , bnt also tho prevention of fraud on tlie part of tho companies ln Inen'aslnff tho pressure and causing the motors lo register more than tbey should in justice. There are threo bill, ot a similar nature in sen- ate and assembly committee*. They are backed by a very strong publio sentiment ln the localities directly affected. Today the two legislative commit toes on public health considered the bill* on pure beer , which provide against chemical adulterations of a deleterious ^ character and demand that hops and barley malt shall be tho principal ingredients used ln browing. Tho telephone rate reduction bill , by Senator Brush , was discussed by the sen- ate finance committee , and the assembly railroad committee! took up the Bondy bill to equip with vestibules or covereel front p latforms all strait cars running ln cities , towns and village, -utsiele at New York cily.

Feminine Friend— A we althy St. Louisan living in the vicinity of Laf ayette park provided a novel form of entert ainment for bis wife ' s guests one evening, sa y s tbe SL Louis Republic. Thc hostess wan extremely anxious to prov ide something original for tho edi- fication of a score of guests whom sho intended to call together for nn informal evening. Her husband promised to pro- vide such novelty and took a boon com- panion into his confidence to that end. They had not exchanged ideas SO con- secuti v e seconds beforo they hit upon tho dev ice of converting tbe elegant parlors into a gambling bouse pro tern. A faro bank, a roulette wheel and po- ker and keno l ay outs were easily pro- curable , as the conferees well know , and tbat par t of tbo programme was soon settled. The friend suggested as a pretty ep ilogue tbe introduction of a pair of bulldogs , guaranteed to reduco each other to mince meat in three rounds. This rather staggered tho ambi- tious host , but bia friend is award poli- tician , and with tho eloquence he always beops ou draft soon convinced tho other tbat tbo evening would be a failure without those bulldogs. Tho evening arrived , and with it came the guests. The ladies worn prettily shocked at sight of tho gambling para- p hernalia , but became accustomed to it in an astonishingly short time and shar- ed in tho games xvith becoming vim. It was when lho yellow bulldogs made their unexpected entrance that the hor- ror of tlic fair guests proved gennine. The b ou sts y el pe d a nd growled and showed other peculiarly canine symp- toms of \ spoiling for a fight. \ Th ere- u pon tho Indies sought refuge on tbe pi- ano an d c ard ta b l e s and chairs , con- ducting their retreat ns frum a mouse. N otwithstanding excited feminine protestations , the fri end wbo had been consulted as to a novelty In entertain- m ent unleashed thu dogs. It was un ex- citing climax to an \ ori ginal\ evening. The dogs feasted for fivo minutes ou cho i ce b i ts o f ea c h oth e r ' s anatomy. Tho ladies screamed and lho friend who was consulted exulted in tho success of his novelty. Wheu ho wns quite con - vinced—and it took a considerable! timo to convince bim—that tho ladies ' tlcsire for go re h o d b een fully g rati fi ed , he doused tho dogs into a convenient tub of water and separated then.

Whol e . families of the animals are sometime, asp hyxiated in tbeir dens. A wolf of the gray variety generally m akes its home by getting on tbe sido of a dirt f-olch and burrowing straight inward un til a safe distance from tbo surface is reached. There ber young era born and raised te-sturdy cub estate. When a cow boy locates • den ia wh ich ba believes tbe entire family to bs gathered , a compos ite soasa of cotton , satorated witb damp Boor salpbnr and other n oxious smelling substances , ia thrust into tbe den and set on Are. Tho month of tba bote is then Ailed trttb •lay tamped down solidly , aad tbe im- prisoned wolves are speedil y s uffocated within. In tbis way from a to 10 and 11 wolv e s , yonng and old , are wiped ont a t one stroke. Another effective method ia to bos* fonr or mora boles in a flat piece of board and ping tbem np witb beef fat soaked in strychnine. Tbe odor of tbe fat attract* any wolves tbat may be ln ibe rioini ly, and Ibcy lick tba fat vera- clon sly until tbe leavening of poison doe* ita work npon tbem and tbey drop dead. Ver y often aa many ae a do-aen wolvcs are kill ed oS by thia process be- fore tbe fat in tbe boles is exhausted. Strychnine inclosed in cap-mica ia alao need. Tbe capsule la thrust into a slit. ent in a chunk of beef , and the wolf, b olting the meat whole , falls an easy vict im. Steel traps , b aited wi t h raw beet are alao tried wltb fair success. — ZKause i Betmbliean. KILLING WOLVES. HOOD'S PI-S.B cure Ubmr Ite; BB- tousnese , Indtgeetion. Hcndacba amsftmtmtm.
