"RICH GIFTS TO CITY OF ONAHA Mrs. Selina C. Cornish Makes Her Do- pations in Money, EDWARD ROSEWATER DID SAME Park Lands for Use of Public Have Been p Favorite F of Phil- anthrophy by Omahe Ploneers. Omaha has been the reciplent of a widely varied series of gifts aggregating In value many thousands of dollars. The benefi- cences of the givers have included lands for park sites, objects of art, scholarships and collestions of eurlos. The latest pub- lic gift is that of Mrs. Selina C. Cornish, who ha# added $10,000 to her previous dona- tion of $50,000 for the acquisition of the lands comprised in Carter park, a memorial to her former husband, the late Levl Car- ter. . The park donations to the city comprise a total acreage of approximately 44 acres, or very mearly one-half of the total park acreage of_ the city. The gift of Mrs. Cornish of $60,00 for the purchase of the Carter lake frontage gave the city park system 30051 acres, the largest gift of the kind ever given to Omaha. The later gift of $10,000 is intended for improvements. Andrew J. Hanscom gave the ciy a tract of 57.69 acres, now known as Han- soom park, in 1872, which has been the most completely developed of Omaha's parks, and from the wild tangle of woodland and underbrush it has been transformed into the artistic center of one of the city's greatest ' residence districts. Eimwood Park, Gift and Purchase. Eimwood park, which In area ranks sec- end to Carter park, s the composite of a gift and a purchase by the city, Lyman Richardson, John T. Bell, Henry B. Wiley, Leopold Doll and Willlam . Snyder gave the clty fifty-two acres in 18%0. The clty purchased 156 acres more adjacent to the ! donated tracts, thus gaining possession of the land now known as Elmwood park. As a gift trom the Transmigsissippl Ex- position company and Herman Kountze, the city gained title to Kountze park, eleven acres In extent. The acquisition of this park involves an ingenlous succession of transactions. Legal obstacles stood In the way of a municipal appropriation by the city In sup- port of the Transmissiseipp) exposition. To clreumvent this an appropriation was made for the fmprovement of park lands, with the intent then of locating the exposition on one of the park areas. When, however, the exposition site was finally chosen, it was mot aecording to the original plan. That the city's appropriation might be made ' available, the exposition company purchased &5 acres of the exposition site and donated It' to the city for park pur- poses. Herman Kountze then made a fur- ther domation to the exposition's park of an equal area. The park board's appro- priation of $30,000 was then expended, and at the close of the exposition the ecity came Into possession of the land and the permanent improvements. Curtis Turner Memortal, The Curtis Turner memorial park, the gift of Charles Turner in memory of his son, is A pretty tract of 7.5 acres at Thir- ty-first and Farnam streets. Bemis Park was given to the city by the Bemis Land company in 188. The gift was of six acres to which the city added three by purchase. Many other smaller gifts of parkings and small areas have been recelved by the city. Mrs. Selina C. Cornish also gave the city six bronze fountains which varlous parts of the park Assoclation of Omaha German socleties gave & bronze statue of Schiller which adorns Riverview park. The one scholarship given to the city 1s the bequest of Edward Rosewater. This scholarship Is supported by the earnings of securities amounting to $10,000 held in trust by the school board. At intervals of four years the son of an Omaha workingman, upon graduation from the high school and the aftainment of a standard set by the board, is glven a complete training at one ot the best technical schools of the country, Many Atlds to Public Library. The public library has recelved a large number of valuable donations, most prom- inent among which s the Byron Reed col- lection, va.ued at $0,00. Byron Reed in 1891 gave the public library the fruits of g litelong. pursuit of rare coins, books and objects of historical interest. The Trans- mississippl Exposition company, at the close of the exposition, gave to the public library a'collecton of six paintings valued at $3,300, which had been acquired in con- nection with the display of art. The library was also glven many valuable appurte- nances of the government's exhibit. The Ibrary holds $10,000 in securities given by Frank Murphy. G. W. Lininger at his death bequeathed to the library a colléction which ' depléts the History of art from the oldest historic relics down to the fifteenth century. A gift of value, obscure by its technicality, s the library's collection of sedges and grasses, given by Willlam Cle- burn, ) A Night Alarm. i Worss than an alarm of fire at night is the metallic cough of croup.
