Sam Baskin always gets to the

The fire made us q little late this

the same.
Not over q dozen business men

It was cold work for the fire COM

Ii a man is insured for $4,000 and
loses $4,000 he gets the full amount
OF his loss. He does not get only
one-half of his loss because he is in
sured for only one-half of what he is
worth but gets the full $4,000. An
insurance company has to either pay
a man the entire amount of his losses
or make him whole.

every branch bearing a present or a

"E. A. B." in the Philadelphia
Times furnishes an account of a Yer
mont sociable: "There goes man
that I attended a Vermont sociable
in company with one night in Wash
ington," said a friend last evening.
'sWere you ever at one?" he asked.
Upon receiving negative reply he
told me of the feast of reason and the
flow of maple sugar that he heard and
witnessed. 1t was in the winter time,
when the state associations of the ma
tional capital generally give a big
blow out during the season. All the
noted New England people in Wash
ington are sure to be there. You
will see Justin 5. Morrill,, the oldest
Senator in the country, running
around with a plate of hot maple su-
gar, making himself as frisky as
young colt. A number of long tables
are arranged in parallel rows in the
room without any white table cloths.
On the pine boards you will find
pickles, butter, nice cookies, dough-
nuts, cups and saucers tor tea. splen-
did looking white bread, cheese and
crackers. Maple sugar is the Princi-
pal dish. That is boiled out in the
yard and served hot or cold, just as
you want it. There is no whiskey,
no beer, no Gordon rouge, no Johann
isberge, no headache next morning but
heavens, what q stqtfy feeling if you
eat too much cheese.

The only two great commanders

T. Sherman and General Joseph E.
met Lee, Joseph
and Sidney Johnston, Beauregard,
Buckner, Bragg and Pemberton in
battle as chief commanders, and of
them Jos. Z. Johnston, Beauregard
and Buckner survive. Meade, who
commanded at Gettysburg, died soon
after Lee, and Thomas and Hood, who
fought the last great battle of the war
at Nashville, are both dead. Of the
many commanders of the Army of the
Potomac, none remain, with the single
exception of General Mcclellan. Nc
Dowell, Scott, Burnside, Hooker,
Meade and Grant, who in turn COM
manded that magnificent army, have
all gone to join the great majority, and

The Park which is really only a drive,
and which will now possibly be re-
christened Grant Park, is strip of land
of an average width OF less than 500 feet,
extending along the river from Seventy
lecond Street to the point where One
Hundred and Twenty Fourth Street
would touch the river II 1t were cut
through. A series OF gentle elevations,
leads from the south to the summit of
the hill, on the north and west of which
are abrupt descents for 100 Ieet. The
drive has not been greatly frequented,
because it has but recently been laid
out, and the young naples do not yet
cast shade ON it in the afternoon. The
city acquired the property In 1879, and
the road builder and the gardener have
not yet quite finished their work. But
no other drive about New York COM
mands such views,
From the spot where the great General
will lie the river and both its shores are
visible to the north for twenty miles,
the heights on one side ut distance and
the Palisades on the other. Diagonally
across is Fort Lee. TO the south the
opposite shore, with its series of pictur-
esque landscapes, is visible till it slopes
down to Jersey City. Along the river
to the northeast the Boulevard can be
seen, and in front as you look north
ward are the tall stacks of the breweries,
which, with the noise of street cars and
wagons at the foot of the hill, recall the
fact that the Park is in the busy city

In fact all the churches along the route
paid this tribute to the dead hero
There seemed to be a magnetism in
the plain casket of silver-trimmed pur-
pie which drew the people by thousands
from all parts of the city. The great
east and west sides were represented
everywhere AS the car drew near
nearly every man lifted his hat. Espe-
ciallv was this so with plainly clothed
men in mechanics or laborer's attire.
There were, however, many young men
in the throng dressed in painful imita-
ton of English costume who looked on
! all that passed with dull stare. In
almost every case they failed to uncover
their heads as the funeral car went by
One of them was about to strike blind
man who had shuffied against him when
one of Inspector Byrne's detectives sent
him hurrylng along.
The eminence at the northern extrem-
ity of Riverside Park, which General
Grants tomb and monument will make
the shrine of perpetual pilgrimage,
commands one of the finest of the many
fine views on the Hudson River
Neither Washington's nor Lincoln's
tomb has so commanding site.
