Two years ago the Republicans
elected only III OF the 356 mentors of
Congress and lost the Legislatures in
enough States to give the Democrats
control of the Senate. Now they have
regained nearly every lost Republican
district and carried many of the
strongest Democratic districts by large
maiorities. debating Wilson in West
Virginia, and invading the no longer
solid South. The Republican tidal
wave seems to have involved mora or

increasing Republican majorities in
Republican districts and decreasing or
wiping out Democratic ma critics in
Democratic States.
1t is q great victory, and as signif-

later the prospects we're brighter. BY
the middle Of June Lafayette was in

ington vas planning with Rochambeau
to eject the capture Of New York City.
On July 4, 1881, their forces met at
Dobbs Ferry. Washington removed
his headquarters fir m the house of Jc-

miles from the Hudson, on what was
later called Washington's Hill, to the
Van Brugh Livin 3ston mansion. There
he held many conferences with Ro-
chambeau and the leaders of the Con-
tinental Congress.
When Washington learn d that the

Chesapeake, he determined to aban-
d3n the movement against New York,
join Lafayette at the York peninsula,
and force the end of the wal by COM

and a half after the battle of Yorktown

to carry fifty passengers, but sixty
three tickets were sod. There was q
bar and a lunch counter on board,
whose attendants. with the crew,
brought the whole number On board up
to about seventy-ive. The tug reached
the banks on time, but the fishing was
poor aud the sea too rough for com
tort, and 1T noon she started back.
When three miles east OF the High
lands and about south of Scotland
lightship the waves began to break
heavily over her starbOard rail. To
dodge the water and wind the passen-
gers began to run around to the port
side and to climb on up of the deck
house. The boat careened alarmlngly
to port and the water swept in over the
rail. The terrOr-stricken men rushed
back to starboard AMI the tug swung
deeply down on that side. AT the same
moment three heavy waves struck the
boat in quick succession. The captain,
William H. Platt, STUCK pluckily to his
post and sounded the whistle in a pro-
longed scream for help. Even as he
did so the tug filed with the water
that poured into her from both sides
and sank out of sight in the water.
She went down like q stone, carrying
many IF her passengers with her.

Vandam street wasa very modest little
affair. The two brothers, wlo came
originally to seek the.r fortunes in this
country, had learned the sugar-baking
business in London, and even when
Henry O.'s father began work in tho
Vandam street n it was called
the Havemeyer bakery" 1t was con
sidered O very creditable days work
in those days when they baked an
entire hog-head of sugar in a day.
The building in which the entire Hav-
emeyer business was cOnduct,d was a
little concern only 25 feet wide by 40
feet in length. This is in rather strik-
t2g contrast with the nOrmous Will
tamsburg plant, covering acres OF
ground, and the output of the surgar
trusts wOrks-and the Havemeyers
virtually orc the sugar trusts very
many times more in a single day than
vas the entire yearly production OF the
Vandam street factory. Yet even in
those early days the Hav meyers we're,
as they are now, at the h 'ad OF the
sugar-re6ning indu. try in the ULited
States, for the Vandam street 60 Germ
was the largest cstabli hment OF the
kind in the United States.
When the two original Havemeyer
brothers retired they were succeeded
by their two sons. Viii lam F., who
afterwards was mayor of New York
for several terms. and Frederick c.,
the father of both Theodore A. and
Henry 0. Havemeyer, who are now at
the head of the enormous trust inter-
ests. In 1881 the two cou ms. William
f. and Frederick c.. took charge of
the business and continued it until
1912, when both retired, each letting a
brother. Albert and Frederick, con.
tinue the business.

1t Should Be Tried Here.

Holland seems to have settled the
tramp question more successfully than
any other country in the world. The
state has q tract of land containing
about 5000 acres, divided into six
farms, and every person applying for
relief is sent to one of these. If he be
willing to work and voluntarily serves
until he has gained some idea of agri-
culture he is allowed to rent a small
farm for himself, and to be what is
called a free farmer" If not, he is
sent to a forced labor colony and COM
peeled to work, whether he will or not.
This is a very practical method of deal
ing with the vexed problem, and one
that is especially adapted to this
country.
