queror.

Henry Livingston, one of the pioneers
in the earlier California. died yesterday
He was 72 years of age, and, duced in
circumstances, had been little heard of
for many years.
In the old days Harry Livingston was
force in California. He was a newspaper
man, one who knew how to write and
what to write about, and a man whose
personality was as strong as his pen was
trenchant. He was an educated and cu-
tured gentleman and one of the best
dressed men in the profession of those
DAYS.
He arrived here fresh from college, "a
years of age, in June, I849, and at once
took Prominent part in affairs. AL
though haiing from Connecticut, he was
asympathiZer with the Southern wing of
the Democracy and his tastes were fash
toned after the chiyalric temper of the
time. In the late SOS he acted as corre-
spondent at the State capital for John
Nugents paper, the Herald. He was con-
nccted at one time or another with all the
early newspapers of this City down to the
time of and during the war. For ten
years he has been the historian for the
Society OF Pioneers, and his chief occupa-
tion has been the writing of the biogra-
phies of his fellows Of the society, living
and dead.
The family of the deceased was a very
old and at one time powerful one.
His ancestry on the paternal side of the
houss were Scotch. and be was directly
descended from the Levingstons of the
days of William the Norman, who occu-
pied the baronial estate and castle known
as ''Lithingon."
Shortly after tho discovery OF New York
by Hendrick Hudson, the PATRON estate
on the. east side Of. Hudson River was
settled and taken possession OF by Gilbert
Robert Living ngston, where to-day the name
of Liyin ston can be found in and about
New York. Other members of the family
moved to Redhook. now known as Tiyoli,
in Dutchess County, directly opposite the
Kaaterskill range Of mountains on the
west side of the Hudson River
The father of the deceased James Kane
Livingston, was born in Schenectady. as
were also several other members of the
same family.
The deceased was born in Htchfeld. N.
Y, on August 10, 1925. In 1S4O he entered
as a freshman in William College, aud
four years later received the A. b. degree.

sity Fund.

The old scandal over the City and
County Hospital sanitary system has
cropped up again. and the Board of Health
is once more in hot water over it.
Auditor Broderick is investigating the
manner in which proposed Improvements
are being conducted by the health au-
thorities, and has expressed himself as
somewhat dissatisfied with the lavish way
IN which money is being spent.
Under a previous Board of Health So.
ooO was spent and wasted in putting in a
sewerage system that was worse than use
less. The Grand Jury is now engaged in
sitting that matter to ascertain whether
some one cannot be brought to account
for the disgraceful work that was done and
accepted by the authorities.
Shortly after the present board came
into power it declared that the hospita
was nuisance and threatened, unless the
sewers Were repaired SO that they would
carry oil the refuse, they would close the
institution. They stated that $500 would
place the sewers in such condition that
they would relieve the immediate danger
OF an epidemic, and obtained an appro-
priation of that sum.
Tire money for hospital repairs was ex-
hausted. but on the mem bers of the
board representing to Auditor Broderick
that he repairs were of vital i'm mportance,
that official consented to allow the money
to be drawn out of the urgent necessity
fund. He regretted his decision in the
matter later when bills for repairs amount
ing TO $4,000 were contracted without the
end being reached, and he served notice
on the Board of Health then and there
that the members had not lived up to
their promises, and that no such indebt-
edness would be paid out of tho urgent
necessity fund.
The Auditor is of the opinion that the
big bills have arisen from the use of iron
pipes instead OF stone, which he believes
would have served the purpose just as well.
de made personal inspection OF the i'm
provements now under way yesterday,
with view OF suggesting some method Of
checking the outflow of money.
Within few days funds under the con-
troll OF the Board of Health will be avail
