THE A COTTAGE.

Proposed Abandonment of the Historic
Building.
BUFFALO, N. Y. Feb. 19.-Pension Agent
Orr has received a letter from G. P. Clarke.
who is at present in charge of the Grant
Memorial cottage at Mount McGregor. call
ing his attention to the fact that the ma
tional council of administration, Grand
Army of ths Republic, has decided to dis
continue the salary of the custodian of the
cottage after April 30 next, which means, as
far as tho national organization Is On
cernsd. the locking up and abandonment
of this historic cottage in which Gen.
Grant passed his last hours. The expense Of
maintaining the cottage was but one cent
for each member of the order in good
standing for the entire time, three years.
since the property WAS turned over to the
Grand Army of the Republic. The cottage
has been visited by over so. 600 people
from all parts of the world. Clarke is at a
loss what to do. He does not want the
cottage abandoned by tho Grand Army of
the Republic. and doubtless there are many
members of that organization who do not
approve of the action OF the council Of ad-
ministration. No admission has been
charged heretofore, and the furniture and
general aspect Of the rooms are just as they
we're when Gen. Grant was living at the
cottage. Clarke proposes remaining for a
time at the cottage and keeping 1t open in
the name of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, hoping that further action providing
for its maintenance will be taken.

A BILL has been introduced in the
New York legislature prohibiting the
manufacture OF hoop skirts on the ground
that these voluminous appurtenanc es
would occupy too much space On rail
way cars and at the Worlds fair. The
objection is very sensible, but how
would it do to compromise with the de-
voices of fashion by ~foroidding the
wearing Of hoopskirts under these con-
ditions. If congress or the Illinois leg
i~slature will look after the fair, we will
guarantee the good faith of Montana
legislators to the travelling public.
