For State to have two public play
grounds, one the size Of the State of
Rhode Island, the other larger than
the District OF Columbia may seem
somewhat astounding, yet nevertheless
such is the case. In New York are
two tracts o. "Preserves," one in the
Adirondacks, the smaller in the Cat
skills, set aside for the health and rec
reation of the people. An account Of
these is given in Ev'ry Month for July
as well as a description of those who
own buildings thereon, and the peculiar
conditions under which they hold
possession; the attractiveness OF the

CENTURY OLD WAR CLAIMS,
The Congress just Ended Settle Some
Zig Accounts of Long
Standing.

In 177s, when France came to the aid
of the colonies, the new republic guar
anteed to the decaying empire, by SOL
emn treaty, that the United States
would malte common cause with France
in any war against Great Britain.
France performed its part of the bar
gain and assisted the United States to
secure independence.
In 1893 war between France and
Great Brt0in broke out. The United
States did not aid France, and that
country, justly taking offense, equipped
fleet of privateers which played dis
astrously on American commerce. In
1850 settlement was reached. France
gave up it's claims against the United
States and this country yielded the
claims of this country for the damage
done by French privateers.
1t was n curious settlement, for the
United States rid itself of national
claims of France by giving up batch
of individual claims against France.
OF course it was expected this country
would pay these individual claims, but
it didn't.
The claimants lived and died and their
descendants and assignecs inherited
their claims against the government.
From 1902 until within afew years con-
gress has refused payments. Now the
claims are all in the hands of specu-
lators and third parties of the third and
fourth generation, and most members
believe there is not an honest claim
among the whole lot. Eightyears ago
congress made beginning by paying
$3O4. .095 worth of these relics of the rev.
olution, and to-day another batch of
$1.O55O0O. This disposes of cele-
brated case and pays claims which
Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Chief JUS
tice Marshall, Charles Sumner and 9TH
ers argued for in vain. More than so
congressional committees have pre-
sented favorable reports on these
musty old papers, which have also been
adjudicated by the court of claims. Ten
years ago a French spoliation claim
was worth about five cents on the dol
lar To-day, of course, they are at par.
The highest individual claim is for $4S,-
1856, and from that they run down to
Sis.

The nrcnhInr of a yvn,ersrout.

On Juno Is II watorspout was seen
sweeping toward the town of Hennessey,
Oklahoma, and for the third time this
year it has been saved from destruction
by artificial means. One Of the Rough
Riders, John Fhoades by name, bought
four old cannon, in Cuba, and the
citizens OF the town purchased them,
and the city council employs Il man to
attend to them. When a waterspout
or cyclone appears on the horizon, he
mounts his horse and rides to one o.
the cannon, which are placed on the
outskirts of the town, one on eacn side.
The cannon was loaded with salt, and
was fired on June 10, at forty rods
range into the whirling black mass
that threatened the town with destruc-
tion. The city is protected by this
means at trifling expense, and so far
it has always worked satisfactorily

According to the Literary Chat" de-
partment of Munsey's, a clever New
York woman has always longed to per-
sonally know the authors of the books
she has admired and is fond of. She
met one not long since and congratu-
lated her on her popularity. 20, yes,
was the reply, "it'slovely. Do you know
can go out and pay $50 for hat and
not think anything aboutit? Another
author whom she admired from a child
said, when she told him how nice it
must be to be famous: "Yes, fame is
very fine thing when it can be con-
verted into specie" She says she hasn't
enjoyed his books so much since. She
declares that authors in society show
that they are either affected, conceit-
ed or bored. But she is fair enough ia
add that they are human like the rest
