The Sons of the American Revolution
of Massachusetts,, of whom Edwin $.
Barrett, of Boston, is president, have
begun a movement of great interest to
all descendants of patriots of the war
for independence. The beautiful old
cemeteries of New England are full of
the last resting places of the soldiers
of l776. While many of the graves are
well cared for, corrosion by the ele-
ments has reduced the tablets of soft
lime or sand stone which mark some of
the places of interment TO mere heaps
of splinters. In any case, whether the
headstones are still standing or not,

Soap In Tablets.

There are novelties even in soap. The
last are soap tablets, that come in pref
ty satin-lined and covered boxes. The
soap is put up in small tablets, like
lozenges-a very convenient form. A
cake of soap is always tobogganing
into unlooked-for corners and slipping
away when 1t ought to be most useful.

The eXpatriated New York millionaire
who owns the London Pail Mall Gazette
raps the English Anti-Lynching Com
mittee. now visiting this country, over
the knucklcs The object OF this Com
mittee Is to impress on the American
people the evils of lynch law and to in
duce them to forego the practice of fore
stalling Justice by occasionally taking the
law and a convenient piece OF rope into
their own hands.
Journalist Aston calls the mission of the
Committee nothing short of imperti-
nence," and says that public opinion in
America is enlightened and alert enough
to deal with It's own administrator
abuses. without the Interference Of ir-
responsible English busybodles."
This departure from the customary
sycophancy OF the Pail Mall Gazette
would be incomprehensible but for the
fact that It Is made the handle for an
attack on the Irish American societies
here. which venture to express their
opinion of English abuses in Ireland
These bodies. Mr.. Aston says, have not
yet gone to the length OF addressing the
Lord Lietenant OF ireland. or the Chief
Secretary. on the administration OF the
law in Ireland but they have dared to
pass resolutions and the like which
come perllously near the Anti-Lynchlng

TWO WAYS OF RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.

A casual observer might think that
RLew +. Morton. running for Governor
amid the ease and abundance OF his
Rhineclff estate, with his fine Guernseys
lowing around him, should be an object
OF envy to David -. Hill, whom the fates
compel to hustle, and whose most prolific
cows, they do say, are this year deClin-
ing to give down their milk for his bene-
fit.
Such a conclusion would, however, be
superficial and Inaccurate. Mr.. Morton
may think he is enjoying himself, but he
Is not-nOt as much as Hill Is, at any
rate. How can Morton ever look at a
COW without remembering how extensive
ly he is himself being MIXED? Even the
chickens scratching gravel must remind
him of the lot of political gold miners
who find in him streak of exceedingly
pay dirt"
For man who makes politics

joyment except in the consciousness of
good bargain and for an ex-Nice-
President, the Govcrnorship Is dear at
any price. Aside from the temporary
pleasure Of early campaign laudation

indeed all the objects Of table use, are

times and rooms in which blue is de-

such facts. Blue is the declared craze,

FIVE CENTS TO STATEN ISLAND.

While the Staten Island ferry compl-
cation remains unsettled and the people
and property owners OF that beautiful
suburb of the metropolis are uncertain
how far their interests are to be sacri-
feed to the rival designs OF specula tors,
a new Ferry Company Is Incorporated at
Albany to run from the foot OF White
fail street to one or more places on the
island.
1t Is not known what Is the RESPONSE
bility OF the new company nor what are
Its prospects of success. But It Is very
certain that the Staten Island people
are entitled to the best ferry facilities
and accommodations available and to a
lower rate of ferriage than the ten cents
now charged.
1t is the duty of the New York au-
thorities to bear in mind the interests of
the public in granting ferry franchises.
II the new company designs establishing
competing line OF ferry-boats to the
island, 1t should not lack for encourage
ment. 1t is wrong that ten cents fare
should be charged for the short trip 10
staten Island, when a person can &c
from the Battery to the other end OF the
city for five cents.

Death gathered in two American citI.

Pennsylvania, died at his residence at

filled his eighty-nfth year a little over
