Patent Pole Tip1 NeCk Yoke Clamp

TO ]. NJ. Emerson;
Dear Sir:-In answer to your inquiry con-
corning your Patent Pole, Tip and Neck Yoke
Clamp, would say that it has exceeded my
expectations, being the safest and most useful
Pole attachment / ever saw. Some time since
my team ran sway and kicked OIL the two
traces, the pole dropped to the ground aud the
frightened horses ran several hundred yards
breaking the pole, smashing the dash board
tearing OF both seats, and otherwise damaging
the vehicle costing me SlI for repairs. Yes

Letters and papers delivered through gen
ersl delivery and boxes will amount to at least
80 600 during the quarter.
From the above items it will be apparent to
any fair-minded person that the San Antonio
postoliice is doing much larger business than
was generally supposed, ana it seems to be
done well and expeditiously. The work of the
Office is done by the postmaster and seven
assistants, and the balance of business trans
acted entities the office to more clerical force,
but the appropriation was not made, and they
are doing more than Is done In any other post
Office in the United States of the same class;
and these figures should also show to those who
were tempted to find fault with some of the
Shortcomings of Mr., Newcomb's administra-
tion that he is entitled to u great deal more
credit than has been awarded him, while he has
at the same timO been doing more business
than the ONCE was supposed to do, and doing IL
a. well as 10 could be done with the small force
allowed him.

eser been any battle here. have picked
up one bullet and one button from a
soldiers coat; that is all. But on the
earthworks near Manassas, under peach
tree, while picking up peaches, found
an Indian arrow head. Think of it, and
follow these two facts : What other bat
ties, what other races had fought for the
fields of Virginia ages and ages before ?
Not many people came to visit this
battlefield. have seen thousand at
Waterloo for single visitor here.
The great trench where the dead we're
buried on this sloping hill Immediately
under where Stonewall Jackson sat on
his horse during the battle, is still Q
trench. This is sore that refuses to
heal. It has become . little drain or
rivulet. The bones of the dead were
mostly taken away at the close of the
war. and this opened the trench anew.
This portion of the battlefield is q pasture
now. A little line OF trees has grown
along the bsnks of this trench. Under
these rank young trees Q good many
sleek spotted cattle stood, chewing their
cuds and lazily switching flies. You
never hear o sound Of any kind around
here at all, no coming and going, as At
Waterloo and other great battlefields Of
Europe. The trees are turning Q little
red in the blush of early autumn. There
is hazy gray atmosphere over all here,
which makes the stiffness seem more
still; weary ghost of the smoke of war.
In the corners of the old Virginia worm
fences the wild berry grows rank and
red, as if dripping with blood. The
very earth is red, as if the bosom Of mo-
ther earth blseds perpetualiy for her
brave dead who fell in the battle here

into its permanent growing place now.
And every year it is delayed 10 no triAing

cost Of ten to twenty dollars. or for al
most no cost, il one has spare time and
the saplings are easily available. These
may in ten to fifteen years grow to bs
worth three to ten dollars apiece for
needed timber and fuel. or for the fruit
or nuts produced.
It would be greatly to the advantage
OF the country, its climate, and its
beauty, if the sides of our public high
ways generally were planted with trees
that furnish shade and ornament while
growing, and supply at no distant period
wood for various purposes. Sone years
before they mature sufficiently to be cut
down for use, new paintings alter.
mating with the older trees can be COM
ing forward to take their places, or slow
and quick-growing varieties may be set
SO that when the latter are removed the
former will be large enough to soon fill
the gaps. It is desirable, however, to
have together those that somewhat re-
semble each other in form at the top.
We have in mind broad street, ninety
feet wide, where twenty-five to thirty
years ago various oaks were set, thirty
to forty feet apart, ten feet from the
outside, and between these, in q lire
with them, quick-growing naples we're
planted. Recently the naples were all
removed. furnishing a cord Of wood
apiece, with considerable useful timber,
and the oaks now stand in two beautiful
rows.
As to loss OF land from spreading roots
and from shade, if planted few feet
from the fence, the roots can be kept
from the crops by deep furrow along
the inside of the fence every year or two,
the shade will not be serious detriment
none at all from trees on the south side
of roads running easterly and westerly.
Those on the northerly side of the road
furnish very desirable shade to ami
mails in the adjoining pastures.

Homes for Ballet. Girls.

Miss Ada Beigh writes letter to the
Times to say that having heard that some
English ballet girls were employed at Q
"Paris theater," she invited them to tea
with her, and finding that they were pay
ing too dear for their lodgings and food,
hired an "appartement" for them at ESQ
per annum. SIN city," she continues,
where on every side one sees the costli-
ness OF sin, shall it be said that we lacked
the means to form home for its speedy
that she would have benevolent persons
assist her in paying for this "apparte-
ment." The lady's intentions may be
sound, but her mode of carrying them
out is impractical. These ballet girls 80
far as I understand it, receive salaries.
They are. too, I suppose, engaged by the
week. and not by the year. Why, then
are funds needed to enable them to pay
for their lodgings? Why, too. is the
"appartement" taken by the year? IT is
to be furnished; it contains, in addition
to sleeping rooms, dining room and q
sitting room, and trustworthy woman
is to be placed in charge of it, in order
to provide the ballet girls with meals.
Surely it would nave been far more SIM
pie to have found good furnished sap

it by the week, and have explained to
them where they might buy food, to
have left them to cut their loaves accord.
ing to their salaries.
A "home" for ballet-gifls must be made
self-supporting to be ri@ful. These Eng
lish girls each received presume, about
FL per week for their rvices, and with
such salary they can i've perfectly we'll
in Paris, if they are only shown the way.
In London there are at the slack season
of the year vast number OF ballet girls
ont Of employment. Many Of them, it is
true, live with their parents, who are
generally in some way or other con-
nected with the theatrical profes.
sion. Many, however, have only
the homes that they can make for them
selves, and il Miss Ada Leigh wishe. to
employ her time and other peoples
money in usefully aiding them, would
suggest that she should found ballet
girls homo. not in Paris. but in London;
that she should board and lodge the
girls for Aequate payment when they
have an engagement, and only help them
when they are ont of one. Really this
sort Of fussy nonsense ought to be ex-
posed. What, let me ask, does Miss
Leigh mean to do with the apartment
when these English girls have left Paris?
WHAT, too, with the furniture? When
she sells it at the end of the engagement,
is she not aware that she will lose 1t
least 20 per cent. on its cost?

The children who have been longest
at the nursery show a decided improve
ment in their appearance. and all are be.
ginning to love and are willingly made
ready for the daily bath. which at first
they vigorously fought against. Strange
rs it may seem. most of the mothers
strenuously opposed the bathing pro-
cess, until made to understand it was
one OF the conditions upon which tho
children were received.
The nursery is situated almost within
the shadow Of one of the high hills that
surround our city. One could not but
wish there we're more space allowed, and
that the children could have tho pursr
air and bright sunshine Of the hilltops.
But that would be impraoticabls. The
mothers must be considered, and it Was
deemed best to establish it near their
homes. 90 that they could come each
night, and take their little ones home;
for these are mothers whose sole comfort
and happiness in life is ths prattle of .
childish voice and the soft touch OF baby
hands.
In . talk with one young mother. she
told Of her husband in the hospital,
DYING Of consumption, and how her chill
dren had been neglected and uncared
for, while she by hard work earned
money for bread. Tears filed her eyes
- she spoke gratefully Of the nursery.
and the great good it is doing her chill
drsn. She carries them there each morn
ing. then hastens back to her work light
hearted and hopeful, knowing they are
we'll fed and cared for. Another mother
came in. and her poor tired face bright
ened with smiles as she bsheld her baby,
fresh from his afternoon nap, busily en-
gagged with lunch Of good, wholesome
bread and fresh milk.
One beautiful boy fifteen months old,
who had formerly been boarded out"
or left to the care of neighbors, is now
brought to the nursery; and SO we'll
satisfied Is he with his new quarters that
whom his mother comes at night for him,
he regularly hides away from her. She
fairly cries in her happiness at finding
him bright, clean and contented, and
joyfully carries him away TO the one
room she calls home, where he is kissed
and fondied in q manner that only mo-
theirs understand.
These Instances are but few among
many, and IS the place is becoming bet
ter known and appreciated every day,
managers expect soon to have from
fifteen to twenty children daily brought
there. When that number is reached,
there will be other nurseries established
in different parts of tho city, for the
ladies do not intend that the good work
so well begun shall end here.
They have done much to DO proud Of.
but of nothing more than this. Great
praise is due them for the tender
thoughtfulness that prompted them thus
to provide food and shelter for these
Angels unwinged-whiah human care must tend
TIL they can tread the worlds rough path alone

Isaac COrnelI's Fortune.

Isaac Cornell il man 1O3 years OF

his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Evans, . lady
also far advanced in years. Mary Mo-
shsr, his mother, came to this country in
ITO from England, landing vt Horse.
neck. near Boston. Her father, William
Mosher, owned several vessels that piled
in the coasting trade between Liverpool.
London and Southampton. He died in
1900. leaving ESQ 600 sterling in the
Bank of England. Mary Mosher, his
only child, formed an attachment with
which her father was very much dis
pleased, and his opposition to her mar
riage resulted in her running away from
homo whom she WAS only II. In 1772
she married Jedediah Cornell, and in
1779 went with her husband to live at
Schenectady, where Isaac Cornell was
born in 1850. She died in the early
part of this century. After her fathers
death the executors Of his will made
every effort to ascertain her Whereabouts,
but failed, and it was not until after her
death that her children found out that
their mother had been entitled to the
large fortune of her father.
Nearly seventy years ago they began
suit Tor the property. Recently the suit
has been decided in their favor. Only
Isaac of .ll the children Of Mary Mo-
sher il still living. The property now
amounts to millions OF dollsrs. One
day last week . messenger appeared 10

Cornell. The old gentlemen expects to

Hot Water.

just at the moment when cold water

cures and starvation cures occupy in
Europe the attention OF those who, per-
haps, are in . great measure personally

. new one has sprung up in this country
and has already found followers in Eng
land. The drinking of hot water was an
old fashioned practice among persons
with impaired digestive organs. Hot

as near to boiling point as is humanity
possible has taken to itself supplement
