Dutch cleanliness Another common
fhllacy. Truly enough, scrubbing and
washing appears 10 be the whole oecu-
patton of the Dutch Housewife; women
and children are always spotless in
their attire. bright and clean as far as
their persons are exposed TO the public
eve: but in Volendam, at least. this
cleanliness is only on the surface. so
much so that artists are positively
afraid of taking a model to their
studio.
That sea water could be used for
bathing never seems TO strike the in
teIligence of the natives. And what Is
tho use of washing and cleaning linen
and household utensils from morning
10 night, if the water used for the pur-
pose is of the nature of volendam Ca
nal-a stagnant pool the receptacle
for the refuse of the whole village!
Milk cans table linen, spoons and forks
and plates are dipped unfortunately
into this evil-smelling, grimy liquid,
which cannot but nourish germs of ty'
phoid fever and other infectious dis
eases. That is the much-vaunt@d
Dutch cleanliness.

HIS SOLE tNHERITNcE.
Rich sTan Gives Back Missile which,
Was Thrown at Him.

There lived a few years ago near the
village or Bayside. Long island, a very
rich man. His name was William G.
Burhman, and he kept the most mod
EST little store III a picturesque neigh
borhood, called 'The Alley" lie left
four sons, aud to three Of them large
fortune. To The fourth he left a stone.
That stone has a history.
Mr. Burhman was man who be-
lieved ia economy. for all his riches.
Since the year 1928 the little general
store. feed emporium and the grist
mill beside it have flourished. They
were left Mr.. Buhrman by his father,
himself a rich man. 'rhe son took up
the thread Of business life where his
father left ii and continued fanously.
He loaned money to the farmers and
took mortgages on their farms. In
those days farming on Long Island
was paving enterprise.
Mr.. Buhrman never became am
bilious away from hine He worked
nag, he slaved-at bis business morn
ing and night, and brought up his sons
to do likewise One of these, however,
rebelled against the vigorous regime
Of life set down by the father. There
was a bitter quarrel between Mr.. Buhr
man and his son one day. In the heat
Of it the young man so far forgot him
self as to pick up a big rock and heave
1t at the old gentleman's head. Then be
went away.
The man OF gray hairs said nothing.
He simply picked up the rock he had
skilfulIy lodged. tied it in bandanna
handkerchief and tucked it high in his
safe among the bonds. deeds, railroad
stock and mortgages. Once in while
he would take il out and examine 1t.
saving to himself, II shall leave my
three sons hundred thousand dollars
each. This son shall get what lie in
tended for me-tllis chunk of granite
He kept his word.
The years rolled on The breach was
never healed between father and son,
and the stone still nestled there among
the hundreds of thousands. One DAY
the man of riches died. His will was
read and his promise was kept The
son who had rebelled against the paren-
til dictunl received the stone. the other
sons something like hundred thou
sand dollars each.
But within this last year, since the
old mans death, something has come
over the three sons. They have built
themselves beautiful villas. one of
them within a stone's throw of the odd
building where the father and grand
father made the Buhrmau hundreds or
thousands by the side of the beautifui

cUReus LODGE ROOM
an Historic Cave Used BY an odd
FELLOW society.

Probably the most curious meeting
pace in the world Is the lodge room
u Gap Greek Lodge, No u, Indepenu-
ut of Order OF odd Fellows. The
lodge for five years has been meeting
n Iiyder's Cave, near Gap Run. Tenn.
The cave, LII Carter county, FIVE miles
from Ellzabethtown and seven miles
rom Johnson City, was discovered by
the first settlers Of Tennessee. Eartn
taken from the cave has long been
used for the manufacture of saltpetre.
During the Civil War the cave was
worked by the Confederate Govern
ment, and thousands Of pounds Of salt
D-tre were made there. Some Of the
powder used in the battle of Kings
Mountain was manufactured from salt
petie dug IN this cave.
The cave lies due east and west. and
al any time during the day there is
light enough to read. The anterooin
1f the lodge room is twelve feet square,
afched over by variegated limestone.
n is separated from the main hall by
folding doors.
The hall proper is much lower than
the anteroom. The main floor is 20x
&c feet. At one end Is rostrum IL
feet square. elevated thirty inches
above the floor. The roof is an arch.
the top of which is twenty feet from
the floor During the summer season
the SIM shines In the face Of the Noble
Grand from 2 o'clock until evening.
Since the lodge, which has fifty-five
members. began meeting in the cave ii
hrs had no deaths Frequently picnics
and occasionally preaching services are
held IN the cave, which Is so light that
pictures can be taken sixty feet under
gronnd without artificial light.

cut on the handle and the umbrella
itself is well known to all the attaches
of the building. When they see a
stranger struggling with it Oh rainy

With in Yacht Race.
FEDERAL VESSELS TO ACT
The War, Navy and Treasury Depart
mentS viii Play Part in the
Much Talked of Event.

President Gives Orders 60 Prevent
Repetition Of valAyrie Affair
When the Shamrock and CoIum-
bia AIcet-Race Practically Under
Federal Supervision.
New York, Sept 2i.--A despatch
from Washington says:
Sir Thomas Lipten's cup challenger,
the Shamrock, will have fair field
and no favor on race days, according
to the plans of Secretary of War Root
and Acting Secretary Allen, OF the
navy.
The course will be swept as clean as
a whistle and Federal vessels acting
under orders from the President will
put repetition of the deplorable Val
kyrie affair beyond the pale of possi-
biIities.
Secretary Root, Acting Secretary AL
len and officers of the Treasury De-
partment met and conferred about the
best means Of keeping New York har-
Dor clear and standing Off the great
fleet of excursion boats that viii fight
for places as near as possible to the
racers.
The order for this federal supervision
of the cup races will De promulgated
by President Mckinley and enforced
by all three departments represented
in the conference.
The Valkyrle incident is stilI fresh
in the minds of the yachtsuen, and
they have been ut work for weeks
seeking to insure a clear waterway for
this years cup races.
Commodore j. Iierpont Morgan, of
the New York Yacht Club, was the
leader IN the movement, and with that
end in view spent some time in Wash
ington three weeks ago. He WAS IN
conference with the naval authorities
much of the time, and other prominent
members of the club added their eli
treaties to his with gratifying results.
Many plans have been discussed, and
1t Is believed it will be . difficult mat
ter to handle the shipping that crowds
New York Harbor. For this reason it
was thought advisable to assign three
instead of one, to the
task imposed by the President.
Sir Thomas Iipton himself aided the
efforts of Commodore Morgan, as he
desired plenty of room on the days of
the races While he has always De-
lieved that he would not suffer from
crowdihg, he was pleased to learn that
the government would come TO his as
sistance and make a clear course, an
sure condition.
The plans of the Navy Department
will be matured in a few days. and
orders will be issued governing the
of private vessels ana eN-
cursion boats on the days of the cup
races.
Captain Robley u. Evans of the
navy. will have charge of tie arrange
ments for policing the course in the
races between the Columbia and the
Shamrock. He will be fully empower
ed 10 exclude any vessel from she lines.
1t is understood that the boats TO be
emplowed in this police work will be
reinforced by as many of the torpedo
boats as can be made ready.

three counties few orchards may
have good crops, but the lower coun-
ties are tolerably clear of yellows up

an eighth OF the usual crop in all tire
territory named. and consequently the
farmers got more than the usual price
for the fruit. The crop in New Jersey
was light, partly because OF the severe
