INTERESTING OLD HOUSE.
Relics of the Past, Including /,
Painting ofQueer Composition.

New York Sun.
GAmong the old houses on Long Island
none is more interesting than the Wooly
homestead, at Lakeville, near Success
pond, Through successive inheritances,
during the last 200 years, it has become
the property of Alexander Hamilton
Woody. who answers to the description
OF the distinguished statesman for whom
lie was named.
OF the many valued treasures of the
past none is more proudly shown than
framed letter written by Alexander
Hamilton in reference to the right of
ferrlage between Great Neck and New
Rochelle. Mr.. Woody is courlly old
gentleman. who is enthusiastic over the
heirlooms which represent so much of
his family's history. With great pride
his ancestor. Thomas Woody, who was
a British officer. 1t is more Shapely than
many of the guns of that period.
In a pleasant, Widowed, northwest
room overlooking the road, where sew
eral British officers were quartered. is
an immense mahogany wardrobe with
brass knobs and mouldings. In quaint
old chlmSey closet are specimens of old
china, including punchboWls and an old
gin-sling glass OF odd design and gen.
erous size. In the old wardrobe, re-
ceptacle now for treasures of the past,
are curious large brass ladies that would
easily hold a quart each, large pewter
platters of graduated sizes. on which
were served the big roasts, and horn
spoons of the size of our ordinary wood
en- spoon for kitchen use, but having
whistles in the ends of their long han
dies.
In typical hall of that period is the
great clock. one of those aWe-inSpiring
time recorders never to be overlooked or
ighored. On the wall above the landing
is panel painting that has been handed
down. through 200 years, from one gen.
Grafton to another. 1t looks old, but its
two sides are singularly matched. The
possible explanation Is that somewhere
in the past was mischievous, sacri-
legious wag, g,with artistic tendencies and
Sympathies that were more with the
modern than ancient times, for the
scene, which was intended evidently for
Jacob and Rebecca at the well, starts
out. according to Biblical history, with
an orthodox Jacob in shepherds dress,
with sheep behind him. The we'll is like
the old representations, but beside it,
facing the Jacob of tradition, is Re
becca of the Vatican period, attired as
Marie Antoinette is pictured while
masquerading at the Trianon.
Among the many owners of the house,
the names changing through deaths and
marriages, the history gives as the first
land owner James Cornwall, who sold
to Samuel Tredwell. The foundations
of the house were laid before the Revo-
lutionary war, and for larger house
than was built at first. 1t was the only
house between Great Neck and Jericho
that was not robbed by the whaleboat
men, and the women folk of that time
. boasted that while the British officers
were quartered there they had no fear

Extravaganza in Dress of Some
Partisan Countesses.
TO give an idea OF the extravaganza
of this fin de steele period of ours, saws
writer in Vogue, l may reveal here,
under the seal Of secrecy, of course, a
conversation held yesterday with one
of the most prominent of Partisan
modistes.
l had picked up from the table in her
saloon dressage an astounding night
robe. made of roSe-leaf crepe de chine,
profusely adorned with point de Flan-
ders. and was admiring this chef
d'oeuvre, when the modiste in question
exclaimed: IAN, Madame la Countess,
this is for Mile NJ. (naming a young ac-
treSs, who is a great favorite with the
public here).
There is customer" continued the
l0quacious lady, rapturously; nothing
is good enough Tor her. Now, this
night gown costs 1000 francs, and
she has ordered a dozen. Lookl l
will show you the stockings which [
have had made especially for her," and,
without more ado, she drew toward me
a box of sky-blue moire containing six
pairs of white and six pairs of black silk
hose with insertions of magnificent an
tique lace. saying, as she did so:
There! These are worth 500 a pair,
and she has purchased here to the eX-
tent of $25,O00 worth of dresses, lace
ana lingerie since the beginning OF the
year."

ENGLISH SLANG.

The slang of the different English
speaking countries represents as many
different slang languages as there are
countries. The slang of England is so
very different from the American that
it is dangerous for an Englishman to
indulge in the vernacular in this coun-
try, and it is equally dangerous for an
American to indulge in his slang while
in England. Much OF the slang of both
countries consists in the use of the same
words, but with meanings so widely
different that what is inotfensIve in one
country is indecent in the other. The
slang of Canada, India and Australia is
quite as varied as that of England and
America. These differences are all
Illustration to considerable extent of
how the races of the earth have come to
talk different languages. The offshoots
from the Latin, such as the French,
Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, sprung
up in the early ages, before the printing
Of books was known, and while the
Latin photographers preserved the
language only upon parchment-a form
too expensive to be available among the
masses.
The art of printing was the agency
which developed into distinct form tine
various dialects of Europe. No language
is better preserved in the systematiZed
use by its masters than the English.
The Canadian Frenchman is scarcely
able to converse with a Partisan. The
of in ii NIL ic
almost as different from the German
used in Berlin as though they were sep
arate languages. The Scandinavian
language is cut up into dialects which
are almost as wide apart as though they
were different tongues. But the En-.
gltsh of England, Canada, America,
India, Australia, South Africa and all
other English-speaking countries is
identically the same, and all the differ
enee t9 be noticed between these coun-
tries is in pronunciation and the use of
slang words.
Within the last few years very
wholesome outcry against The use of
slang has arisen in England and Amer
lea. If we wish to perpetuate our Ian
guage in its uniformity, this warfare
cannot be waged too vigorously. The
use of slang is not only inelegant. but
brings about disgusting confusion of
meanings in the conversations between
people of the different countries. The
use of slang is now indulged amo ne En-
glIsh and American refined people to q
very limited extent; in fact, in most
circles it is not tolerated to any extent.
Many American slang words, if used IN
the presence of an English lady or gen.
tleman, would be considered grossly in
sulting, and vice versa. There are
enough words in the English language
10 express every shade of thought, and
there is no occasion for the use of slang.
Its use at home is vulgar, abroad it is
insulting, and wherever it is used it
should be considered mark of poor
breeding.

ETHEL BREAKS AWAY.
An Exciting Incident in Lower
Town This Morning.

A great deal of excitement was oc-
easioned OH board the Bethel boat at
the foot of Sibley street at 2.35 this
morning. At that hour the furious
wind that had been blowing since
Il p. m. parted the hawser
which bound the big. unwieldy
boat to the shore, and she swung
around up stream and came very near
being caught by the swift current.
About fifty people OIL board, and there
was general fear that the craft would
sink. Quick work, however. was done
by persons OH shore and the boat again
tied. TIE occupants. however. all went
ashore. and at o'clock were shiverlng
about the all-night restaurant in lower
town.
A steam yacht, the Island Belle, be-
longing to Missouri excursionists, was
anchored along side the Bethel, and
when the latter was being thrashed
about by boreaS the yacht
was crushed against the dock. 1t was
rumored that her captain ana engineer,
who generally sleep on board, had been
drowned, but at so late all hour the
truth of it could not be verified.

WHISKY TRUST BUSTED.
Five of the Largest Companies
Withdraw From It.

PEORIA, ILL.,. May 21.-Five of the
largest distiileries in this city have
withdrawn from the Cattle Feeding and
Distilling company. The rumor of the
withdrawal of tine companies was on
= the street early yesterday morning, but
nothing could be learned of the trust
officials, who are very reticent on the
subject. A reporter called upon Samuel
WOOlner, OF the WOOluer DiSulIing COM
pany, and asked him if it was true that
his company had withdrawn. Mr.
WOolner said:
Yes, it is true. Not only our two
houses, bat the Manhattan, the North
ern and the Peoria companies have also
withdrawn. In 1856 the Woonpr Bros.
were the owners of two distillereS in
this city, the Novo and Union. They
had capacity of 1900 bushels daily,
and at that capacity went into the Dis
tilling and Cattle Feeding company
when it was organized i'll 1857 We
leased the grounds on which the dis
tillerieS stood to the company for TWEEN
ty-tive years, at an annual rental Of
$lj,0 payable quarterly. The Cattle
Feeding and DStllllng company has
failed to pay us any rental since July Of
1892. The lease had the following
clause of deteasance in it: The lessor
shall have the right and privilege of
Canceling this lease on failure OF the
lessee to pay the rent for period OF
sixty days after the same becomes pay
able
I'VE served notice Saturday after
noon on the company that the lease was
cancelled, ana we Immediately took pos
session of the 5istnleries, ana Will mere

IS. EastOn, for the Manhattan; John
j. SchWabacheT. for the Northern Dis
tilling companies, have all taken SIM
liar action. and Will hereafter operate
their distillerles independent of the
trust. There is fully 100000 due these
companies for rent, and there was 10
other recourse left TO us. These five
houses are the largest and best IN the
country. They have total capacity or
5000 bushels and are capable of manu-
featuring $4,000 gallons of spirits every
day. We believe that the result of the
litigation peding ana instituted by the
attorney general, will result in the for
feiture of the charter Of the Distilllng
and Cattle Feeding company. In short,
we think the trust is busted, and that

At moderate estimate a uniform
rate of l per cent on all incomes over
$1,000 at the present time would produce

ought to be and might be. This, with
half cent pound on sugar, which
would not affect consumers if laid
equally on refined and raw sugars, and
one cent pound on coffee and five
cents on tea, would cover any deficit
likely to arise from emitting the tariff

needed by means of very moderate
taxes. The chief requisite to proper
