A new Episcopal rector here, Rev. Mr..
Larom, Is from New Haven where he former
" assisted Rev. DR.. Beardsley at st. Thomas
church. Mr.. and Mrs. Pelham Hague and
child, with Miss Emily Dickerman, occupy q
cottage in the village. Mrs. George w. Cur
tbs with her son Charles are at Lake Placid,
where are also Miss Moss and Miss Louise
Morse. Miss Annie L. Thomson is in Bloom
ingdale. Miss Russell, daughter of the late
General Russell, lis regular visitor at Saranao
lake. She was here early this year and is
expected again after the season for deer hunt
ing opens. She is an expert shot with her
rifle, and has carried away many pairs of
antlers as trophies of her skill.
Just now public attention is being called
to the vandalism of lumbermen in portions
Of the forest owned by individual proprie-
tors. The lands constituting the "Forest
preserve" are those owned by the State of
New York. 1t is to be hoped that the State
will rapidly acquire title to the whole North
Woods and thus protect from destruction the
magnificent forest which is source of so
much pleasure to the adventurer and in some
remote portions "a unknown to civilization
as when the aborigines padded their canoes
over its beautiful lakes and streams.

THE NOTES ARE ALL RIGHT.
So Says Ex-ToWn Agent Reynolds In
Relation to the 81 8, O0O Notes.

Relation to the 81 5000 Notes.
Ex-Town Agent Reynolds says there Is
nothing mysterious about the two outstand-
ing notes of the town, amounting to Sis, 900
which Town Agent Todd was surprised at
finding. He says that everyone knew of the
issuing of the notes at the time. As to Major
Todd's statement that there is no record of
the notes upon the books, the ex-town agent
said that he couldn't say whether this was SO
or not. 1t was always considered, he eontin-
ued, that the loan of 100000 from the city
was only temporary one to pay the neces-
ssry expenses at that time on the almshouse,
but it was understood that 5000, 900 in bonds
should be issued. All of the selectmen
signed the notes. There was nothing to con-
ceal, he continued, and there was no reason
why the business should not appear upon the
clerks books. Mr.. Reynolds is confident
that all matters connected with these notes
are correct

THE COURT RECORD.
United states Court Commissioner
|. Wright.

Yesterday afternoon Commissioner Wright
heard the case against Henry Cummings, the
letter carrier arrested for violation of the
civil service act. District Attorney Sill of
Hartford prosecuted and Attorney Webb
appeared for Cummings. The first witness
called was Inspector Edgarton. He said
that Cummings had admitted calling meet
of letter carriers for the purpose of obtaining
ing subscriptions for political ends. At this
meeting it was voted that each man should
give what he could spare and Cummings
was appointed one of a committee of three
to deliver the envelopes collected to Assistant
Postmaster Earle. A paper signed by Cum
mlngs was produced admitting these facts.
Cummings testified that he was chairman of
the meeting and that it was agreed that
those whose salary was $3.50 year should
give $50 each, and those who made 5000
year should give SIS. He said that he did
not understand that the paper he had signed
was to be used against him. Attorney Webb

A recent issue of the Sioux City Jour
nal contained an editorial relating to the
legislature Of Kansas being asked for
legislation extending the time for fore
closure Of mortgages and also tho time
for redemption. Speaking of the matter
and of the pioneers of Kansas. the Jourp-
al said:
In this respect they are in the same
plight in which :hs people Of Iowa have
more than once found themselves. Ia
early days in Iowa the legislature was
more than sace called on to pass Q called
stay laws" and did pass them for the
benefit Of debtors. There were times Of
stringency when the Iowa settlers quite
generally could not meet their expenses
or even pay their taxes. The legislature
was compelled several times to extend
the time for paying taxes OF redesming
lands under tax sale. The people who
were benefited by these laws were those
who lived in the eastern part of the state,
on what are known as some of the richest
lands in the state, and they are now veal
thy and prosperous. No doubt at that
time many people further east, measure
ing the prospect by the distress nj the
people, reasoned that the soil of Iowa
was sterile and would never produce the
immense wealth which has since been
drawn from it. In that day. too. the
greater portion of western Iowa, it beng
almost entirely unsettled. was regarded
much as many people . regard Kan
sas, western Nebraska and a large part
Of Dakota. 1t was the common belief
that there would never he suf1 Gent rain
fall for abundant and regular crops. The
fact is Is to western Kansas and western
Nebraska that the limit Of agricultural
production ia not yet known. and the
failure of crops IN those regions
for two or three years. or even for a
longer period, deos not prove anything
eonelusivsly any moro than similar fail
ure rnd The consequent hardships In carly
days in Iowa we're conclusive 80 to its
soil AID the future Of its people.
