Vandam street was very modest little
affair. The two brothers, who came
originally to seek their fortunes in this
country, had learned the sugar-baking
business in London, and even when
Henry O.'s father began work in the
Vandam street concern it was called
the Havemeyer bakery" 1t was con-
sidered a very creditable days work
in those days when they baked an
entire hogshead of sugar in day.
The building in which the entire Hav-
emeyer business was conducted was
little concern only 20 feet wide by 40
feet in length. This is in rather strik-
ing contrast with the enormous Will
iamsburg plant, covering acres OF
ground, and the output OF the surgar
trusts works-and the Havemeyers
virtually are the sugar trust-ls very
many times more in q single day than
was the entire yearly production of the
Vandam street factory. Yet even in
those early days the Havemeyers were,
as they are now, at the head of the
refining industry in the United
States, for the Vandam street concern
was the largest establishment OF the
kind in the United States.
When the two original Havemeyer
brothers retired they were succeeded
by their two sons. William F., who
afterwards was mayor of New York
for several terms, and Frederick c.,
the father of both Theodore A. and
Henry O. Havemeyer, who are now at
the head of the enormous trust inter-
ests. In 1881 the two cousins, 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.
Then the Trust.
The great sugar trust, which monop-
olizes the entire sugar-refining busi-
ness of the United States, was formed
in 1887. So far as the production of

tion of affairs May /, 1871. A month
later the prospects were brighter. By
the middle Of June Lafayette was IN
hot chase after CORVALLIS and Wash
ington was planning with Rochambeau
to eject the capture of New York CITY.
On July 4, 1871, their forces met at
Dobbs Ferry. Washington removed
his headquarters from the house of Jo-
seph Appleby, which then st cd few
miles from the Hudson, on what was
later called Washington's Hill, to the
Van Brugh Livingston mansion. There
he held many conferences with Ro-
chambeau and the leaders of the Con-
tinental Congress.
When Washington learned that the
fleet of the French commander, the
Con- te de Grasse, was headed for the
Chesapeake, he determined to aban-
don the movement against New York,
join lafayette at the York peninsula,
and force the end of the war by COM
pelling the surrender of Cornwallis.
BY curious chance the commanders
in-chief Of the two armies met in the
Van BruPh Livingston mansion year
and half after the battle of Yorktown
to arrange for the evacuation of Amer
lean soil by the British.

which was held last week by the New

interest. Dobbs Ferry is one of the
many charming suburbs of New York.
One hundred and thirteen years ago it
was a place of much Importance.
Washington was there with his

of independence. 1t was necessary to
make final strike for victory. which
might result in defeat. Washington

there planned the campaign that
closed the war. The Louse is still
standing, and has been in possession OF
only one owner between Van Brugh
Livingston and the present proprietor,
DIR. Joseph Hasbrouck It has been
called the Cradle of Final Victory"
On flag day, or the anniversary of
the adoption of the stars and stripes as
the national standard of the United
States, the society decided that this
day should be commemorated by laying
the base stone of monument to mark
the house in which the Yorktown cam
paign was planned, in which the
American and British commanders-in-
chief arranged for the evacuation OF
American soil by the British, and OPP
posite which the British sloop-of-war
that brought Sir Guy Carleton to Dobbs
Ferry fired salute of seventeen guns
In honor of Gen. Washington, the first
salute by Great Britain tO the United
States of America.
The monument will be of a plain
square cap design ten feet in height,
and of granite. The citizens of Dobbs
Ferry are planning to crown this mon
ument with statue of Rochambeau.
The site is very near DR.. Hasbrouck's
house. 1t is semi circular bit OF
ground taken from the lawn and bor-
dering upon the roadway.
Washington was at Dobbs Ferry for
nearly six weeks before he decided
upon the Yorktown campaign. The
outlook for indepen 'ence was very
gloomy. The colonial army had met
many reverses in the South; the treas
ury was exhausted and there was mu-
tiny in the army. This was the condi-

KILLS MAN AND BEAST
BLACK DEATH, THE MOST FA-

IL IL Raging Furiously In China and Hun

World Is In Danger of
the Disease.


Black death, the most frightful, the
most fatal and the least understood OF
all epidemics, the awful plague which,
arising in the Orient, has several
times spread over the entire eastern
hemisphere, destroying alike human
beings and dumb creatures, Is again
raging. with awful fury, in China.
Canton and Hong Kong are the affiict-
ed districts. Thousands of Cinnamon
have already succumbed to the disease
and hundreds Of others are dying daily.
The whole populace OF the two great
Chinese seaports are panic stricken,
and we'll may they be, for wherever
this hideous enemy of man and beast
rears its head and emits its vile breath,
there suffering and death ensue. And
we'll may the whole world regard with
apprehension the ravages of this dis
ease in these Chinese cities. They are
the great ports of commerce, from
which vessels sail to all parts of the
earth, and thus the black death may
easily be spread through the civilized
world.
The first outbreak of the plague oc-

been practically tied up by the seces-

ploy. The switchmen of other roads

struggles between capital and labor
that the country has known for years.

their strike was unequivocal and
extended to the freight service.
Moreover, the engineers and firemen
showed themselves in sympathy. They
brought in passenger trains, reported
and refused to pull out. The outbound
trains stood on the tracks for hours
awaiting for volunteers to attach the
Pullman sleepers. The freight service
was at a standstill.
That the strike is assuming an ap-
palling size is attested by the fact that
not only members of the American
Railway Unicn, but engineers, firemen,
switchmen and switchtenders of other
unions have joined in it, that it is not
confined to the movements of Pullman
trains, but to the freight traffic
as we'll, and that it has even attacked
a road that does not use Pullman cars.
1t is no longer fight with Pullman.
1t is war against railway companies.
The Pullman company owns and oper-
ates between 800 and 1000 sleeping
cars, besides large number of dining
and parlor cars. In large majority of
cases the existing contracts with rail-
roads give the Phllman company mile
age fees for the use of their cars.
That is, the railroads, in nearly all
cases, pay the owners OF the slee cers
from to ) cents per mile per car for
the privilege of hauling them for the
accommodation of the travelling public.
In conse uence, there woul1 not be q
dollar loss to the railroads by such q
tie-up except as it would affect travel,
while Pullman would lose the daily
revenue, but would not have the enor-
nous daily exrense of keeping up the
cars. 1t is said that his income from
mileage paid by the roads far exceeds
the revenue derived from the rental
of berths. The Pullman porter gets
about $l2 per month from Pullman,
while body and soul are kept together
by generous public which tips" him
or gets no attention.
