SLAYTON HAD BEEN
IN AN INSANE ASYLUM
Career of the Youth Who Posed In
New Haven as General Lees
NenheHN.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 29.-Frank \. Slay-
ton. who posed as the nephew OF Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee and forged checks in New
Haven. left bad record here. He was
arrested for forging checks to the amount
of more than $500. but on the evidence of
physicians he was pronounced insane and
sent to an asylum for two years. He was
finally released on probation under heavy
bonds. which have never been revoked.
Slayton is the son of Mrs. Frank Slay-
ton. now of Stapleton, S. l., whose hus-
band was a physician of Oswego. She is
q sister of Gen. Bradley T. Johnson's wife
and daughter OF Judge Saunders. who was
minister to Spain under President Polk.
The young mans grandfather promised
him that if he would refrain from smok-
ing cigarettes drinking and other vices
until he was twenty-five years old he
would pay him $4,000. Slayton's career
cut him out of his reward.
Nothing was heard of him here until he
enlisted in Company X, Twenty-second
New York Infantry. from which he de-
serted in June. He pleaded that he was
delirious with fever when he left his
command.

HOW FOLKS IN KOREA
COOK AND KEEP WARM
slaves Are a Novelty and Pribci-
Pa1Iy tsed by American and
European Residents.

An interesting report from Consul Cen
eral Horace y. Allen. At Seoul. was given
out for publication At the State Depart
ment yesterday afternoon. II is descrip-
tive of stoves and heating in Korea He
says:
stoves are not used to any extent by
the native Koreans. The Korean method
of heating Is most exceuentIy adapted
to their resources and conditions. In
building their houses they lay down a
system of fluas where the iioor Is to be
These GueS begin at a fireplace. which
Is usually placed in an outer shed or
connecting closed aieywdy. From this
fireplace the flues extend in more or less
curved direction. like jhe ribs OF Il round
fan. to a trench a the rear of the room,
which in turn opens into a chimney which
is usually placed some distance from the
house Flat fiaEstones are then placed
carefully over these flueS. and the whole
is cemented over and finally covered with
the thick oil paper for which the country
is noted. This paper keeps smoke from
entering the room. and "A little straw or
brushWood. used in the fireplace for cook
ing the rice. serves TO heat the stone
floor and gives an agreeable warmth
which laSis till the time of the next meal
pie a nice warm floor upon which they
sit in the daytime and sleep at night. By
leaving their shoes at the door the in
mates preserve the paper floor. which,
from constant polishing, takes on rich
brown color.
THE few hundred foreigners in Ko-
rea (Americans and EuropeansD use
stoves. as the paper floors do not answer
for foreign use, owing to the fact that
our rooms are too large and our shoes
and furniture soon ruin the floors. Stoves
from Germany at one lime We're quite in
favor, but the stove most commonly used
now is one made i'm Michigan. Even a
few Koreans have begun To employ them
They leave much To be desired in the
matter of packing. however as few ar
rive that are not more or less damaged
by being poorly packed
Owing 10 the high price of coal num-
bers of kerosene stoves are now being
used, and these seem TO appeal TO the
Koreans as they are neat and handy and
furnish light as we'll as heat.
There can never, however. be n large
trade in heating stoves in Korea, SO long
as the people adhere to their present style
of houses"

the Yacht was suddenly struck by fierce

chored, and, without knowing it. lay for
twenty-four hours hardly half dozen
lengths from shore. In that time the
Yacht was almost run down By a steam
ship, lost like herself.
The Magic was sold recently by Angus

to John S. Clarke & Bros, of Pittsburg,
Pa. She had been partially fitted out for
her new owners at Greenport. L. L., fol
a winter cruise in the West Indies. She
was brought here to be fitted with new

The wind continued TO blow furious,y all
Sunday night, but at I O'Clock yesterday
morning anchors were weighed. and the
Magis made the run from Thinble Island
to Larchmont in ten hours and a half.
Between Greenwich and Larchmont, and
near the middle of the Sound, the Magic
passed the wreck OF some craft, only the
top of mast showing above the water
1t was doubtless some vessel that had
gone down in the storm.
Some of the men aboard left the yacht
at Larehmont TO send kilograms to anx-
ious friends in this city. The Magis came
on and is now at F'ifty-fifth Street, South

1t is long, weary day since such
warmth of friendly feeling has been ex-
pressed by the British press towards the
United States and reciprocated with
such earnestness by the politicians at
Washington, as has been manifested
over the Russo German descent upon
China England was careful to make
sure of the attitude of our government
before she went ahead, and her salts
faction at finding that the administra-
ton believed American interests
might be affected substantially the same
as the British, has been made clear on
several occasions. Meanwhile, some of
the habitual tail-twisters in Washing
ton have even been talking about FORM
ing an alliance with England to stop
the land-grabbing in the orient OF
course the whole business hinges on the
fact that our commercial interests in
China are next In extent and import
ance after those of England and Japan,
and whatever territory Germany might
appropriate would be hedged about with
tariff restrictions that at present are
unknown to our merchants in their IN
tercourse with the east. What England
and the United States want are free
ports and no discrimination against
trade in China.

With the pension agitation comes an
other overhauling of the records of
clerks of the bureau, and a new state
ment of the number who are getting
salaries ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, and
at the same time draw pensions for total
disability. Some of the instances cited
will not provoke much Indignation. The
man, for instance, who draws $50 a
month in addition to his $4,000 salary.
because is ankle was so badly crushed
that to mis- day he is unable to put on
or take off his shoes and stockings
without help, would be apt to excite
sympathy and a belief that he deserves
all the money he gets. 1t is rather diff
ferent with those who We're unable to
get a pension till they had procured
places in the pension office, and who by
their persistence got their pensions
raised from time to time until the to-
tai disability rate was reached, and then
perhaps got $4,000 in back pensions be-
sides Medical Referee Raub's case is
az interesting as any. His salary is
$4,000 year, so that it would appear
that he holds an office Of some import
ance, and presumably is able to dis
charge the duties satisfactorily; yet he
has also a pension of $24 month, which
is the rate accorded for disability equiv
alent to the loss of hand or foot Still,
the most aggravating feature in this
business is the frequency with which
clerks become pensioners after appoint
ment, the persistency with which they
then get their rates raised and arrears
of pensions paid to them. There is a
very decided smack of politics about it

Figures compiled for the New Eng
land temperance bureau of the license
vote in the 80 cities of the common
wealth show that nearly quarter of
the whole number of voters failed to
vote on the question at the recent city
elections. OF the total registration of
313, 722 voters, 247, 1888 voted for mayor,
but only 229, 1871 voted on the license
question. There were 1926, 4O5 yes votes
and 109,7S no votes making license
majority of 21619. Now this majority for
license is only 50 more than the number
of voters who neglected to vote on the
question. Furthermore, there were g.,
1914 voters who staid away from the polls
entirely, making with the ''icense dodg-
ers'' total of 1881 not recorded on Ii
cense. 1t does not strike us that any
important inference is to be drawn from
these figures, except to corroborate the
common experience, that as rule a
smaller vote is cast on question of
government policy than in the selection
of officers, and that the farther down
the official ballot a question or a can
didate stands, the greater will be the
falling off in his or it's total vote.
