OUR LIFE SAVERS.
Annual Report of the Work of the
Heroic Men Employed In THIS
Department..

Washington, Nov. 3O.-The annual re-
port of the general superintendent Of
the life saving service states that ut
the close of the year the establishment
embraced 265 stations, 1913 being on the
Atlantic and gulf coasts, Sc on the great
lakes, Is on the Pacific and one at tho
falls of the Ohio. Louisville, Ky.
The number of disasters to doc
umented vessels within the field of the
operations of the service during tho
year was 42s. There were on board
these vessels 1908 persons, of whom
3,S47 were saved and SO lost.
In addition to the foregoing there
were during the year 294 casualties to
small craft, such as yachts, sailboats,
rowboats, ETC., on board of which there
were GIL persons, G64 of whom were
saved and seven lost.
The crews saved and assisted in saw.
ing during the year 3s7 vessels. valued.
with their cargoes, at $2,96s,255, and
rendered assistance of minor impor-
lance to 1892 other vessels in distress,
besides warning from danger by the
signals of the patrol men 1913 vessels.
The number of lives and amount OF
property saved through these warnings
is, of course. understandable.

Divorces Not So Easy.

The supreme court has passed on an
interesting point in the construction
of the residence provision of the di-
vorce law, although the decision is not
so vital as it would have been had not
the last legislature amended the resi-
dence provision of the divorce law to
one year. The point passed upon is of
Importance, however, in any divorces
granted under the old law that may
hereafter be appealed to the supreme
court. The court holds that the sim
pie fact of bodily residence in the state
for period of ninety days. which the
old law provides as the term neces-
sary to gain residence to begin pro-
ceedings for divorce. is not sufficient to
comply with the requirement of the
law for bona fide residence-but that
in addition to this the plaintiff must
have bona fide intention to remain
and be resident of the state in order
to get a divorce that will stick. And
when it can be shown that the plain
tiff in divorce case has by word or
deed indicated or given q reasonable
measure of proof during the ninety
day period of residence that he does
not intend to remain resident of the
state, and that his residence is solely
for the purpose of obtaining divorce,
the divorce will not stick, under this
decision of the court.

and then sandals are supplied if the
travellers have none of their own; they
are then escorted upstairs, without
rails, to a ten-mat room or q 12-mat
room, ETC., the price varying according
to the number of mats. AS the latter
are soft and noiseless they are soon
appreciated by the tired tourist. Even
in winter the only heating apparatus
visible is box of ashes with nest

work on slides, and with slight push
from the outside every movement of

called by clapping the hands and APP
proach the guest on their knees to
receive his commands. In the absence
of chairs the traveller has to content
himself with mats and sitting upon his
heels, Japanese fashion, or in some
adaptation of it. AS to meals, foreign
food"-beefsteak, chickens, butter,
eggs and potatoes-can now be had ut
all the leading hotels, though some-
times it is spoiled in the cooking. Per-

FAMED IN HISTORY.
The House in Which sYankee
Doodles' Was Written.
oreenb..A Manor uop.e on the HAD
son, Near Albany, IL Still standing
and IL q Landmark OF
Great Interest.

Upon the right bank of the Hudson,
opposite the city of Albany, stands an
ancient mansion, known since l70S as
the Greenbush manor house, before
that as the Patrons fort, Crailo. Re-
Gently it has been called the Yankee
Doodle house." from the fact that the
lines of the famous song were COM
posed there.
Fort Crailo, as 1t now stands, says the
Philadelphia Press, is q massive brick
structure. consisting of three stories.
The third story has dormer windows,
and an attic with a single roof.
The rude, fortress-like walls of the
main building, still pierced by stone
portfolios, amply bear out the asser-
ton that it was used for purposes Of
defense in early colonial days. The
bronzed tablet on the front wall of the
Crailo, above one of the ancient stone
portfolios, gives the date Of erection.
1642, as cut in the stone on the cellar
wall. 1t also states that the lines of
Yankee Doodle were composed there.
Gen. James Abercrombie, with his
staff, made the manor house his head
quarters on his way to defeat at the
hands of Montcalm, at Ticonderoga,
July s, 1883.
The British officers were the guests

his lovely wife, Angelica Livingston,

nine years mayor of Albany. On Aber-
crombie's staff was a young surgeon.
whose derision was excited one day by
the sight of the raw American recruits
struggling in from the country side.
clad in all kinds of motley garb.
Sitting on the edge of the we'll in the
rear of the house, he scrubbed the few
lines Of doggerel which alone preserve
his name and were destined to be adopt
ed and proudly sung to the stirring
quickstep which led so many of those
