CLAIMS STEVENS LAND
Cleveland Man Says His
Ancestors Owned Much
Of Hoboken.

In letter addressed County Recorder,
Jersey City, received by County Register
James G. Clarke yesterday, Edwin A.
Bonfield, of Shelby, Ohio, announces that
he is part owner of a considerable por-
tion of the city of Hoboken. The letter
is as follows:-
County Recorder. Jersey City,
Dear Sir-I am in search of informa-
ton which, If you will take the trou-
BILE to look up for me, may turn out
to be profitable to you, as 1 shall be,
perhaps, if same is favorable to me,
in good condition financially to do
so. In the neighborhood of century
ago or more an ancestor of mine own
ed good portion of what is now Ho-
boken. N. J. His name was Frederick
Austin. This property at that time
was not of much value, but was never
sold or transferred to any one; but he
came by same in a legitimate form.
in those days could not be cared for
as now. When he moved to this State
-or before, I do not know which-there
was number of squatters came on
this property, and since then same
has, of course, passed through the
hands of several people.
This information came to me just
recently from an aunt, who is a direct
heir. What / want now is to get a
description of this property as it was
granted and sold to my relatives and
what and where that same property is
today.
If you carr to take an interest in this
and to trouble yourself to a certain
extent you will be well paid for SER
vices If anything ever comes of it,
as there ought to be.
This family has always been we'll
to-do, and this information, as we'll as
other which has been left to us, must
be very valuable. I am,
Very truly yours.

The portion of Hoboken evidently re-
ferred to is what is known as the Swart-
wout tract, as the entire meadow land in
the northern section of the city was
known. The records in the County Regis
ter's office show that all that is now
Hoboken came into possession of the
Stevens family under a deed made by
Cornelius Hareing, United States Agent
of Forfeited Estates, on July 2e, 1884. In
1914 the meadow land in the western por-
ton of the present city was transferred
by the Stevens family to Samuel Swart-
wout He mortgaged it to John G. Coster,
who subsequently foreclosed and the
property was divided among the heirs.
The title, therefore, is perfect from that
time, and Mr.. Bonfield's claim. to have
any value, must ante-date the ownership
of Mr.. Bayard who had possession before
the property came into the hands of the
Stevens family.

CARNEGlE'S DETERMINATION.


Will Not Aid Republicans In Policy
of Imperialism.
New York. Jan. 4.-Andrew Carnegie
was interviewed by reporter concern
ing the report that he had promised to
subscribe $4,000 to the Republican ma
tional convention fund.
There is not word of truth in the
report" he said, II will not give
dollar to help the Republicans IL their
platform is not sound--if 1t is not
American. Not cent for Imperialism
not cent to renegade Americanism.
II am in favor of securing all the
West Indies islands If we can do So"
he continued. II believe they would
make desirable and proper acquisitions
to our territory. That sort of expan-
sion is on the right line. But, mind
you, 1t should not go beyond territory
on this continent"
do you mean we should annex
Cuba?"
mo, we have given our word that
Cuba shall be free. If the people show
q disposition for annexation then that
raises another question. The annexa-
ton of Cuba, however, would, in my
opinion, kill the Republican party. Its
free iron, free coffee and free sugar,
the competition of Its cheap labor with
our labor, would strike blow at
vital republican principle"
Suppose the Democratic party de-
clares against expansion and the Re-
publicans for it, would you contribute
to the Democratic fund.-"
II would consider 1t. My mind is
open, but my purse is closed"

A newspaper is an educator; there

The Sun is the highest type of a

The Suns reports from all parts of

The Suns Cable Service Is the finest

money and labor in getting the news.
When you get The Sun you get news

Berlin. Jan. THE German foreign
Office informed q press correspondent
yesterday afternoon that Great Britain
had not then answered Germanys note
OF protest regarding the seizure by the
British cruiser Magicienne Of the Ger
man imperial mail steamer Bundesrath
on Delagoa bay. Il appears that the
British foreign office desires first TO
communicate with Durham on the sub
ject. This desire is not regarded as
indicating any disposition on the part
of Great Britain to delay the final
adjustment Of the matter.
There has been a lively interchange
Of notes between London and Berlin.
but the German foreign office is ap-
parently keeping cool.
On the other hand violent and
threatening tone toward Great Britain
Is observable in other official quar-
ters. The Berliner Tageblatt, remark
ing that the anti-British sentiment Is
stronger than ever and recalling Jo-
seph Chamberlain's Leicester speech,
says that III this is the way In which
England hopes to gain an alliance
with Germany, she Is making the
veriest mistake" The Neueste Mach
richten says 1t learns that the foreign
Office Is pressing the Bundesrath incl
dent decisively from the legal stand
point, but hopes for an adjustment
without interruption Of correct Of
fetal relations"
The correspondent has received in
formation going to show that the
Bundesrath was possibly guilty Of car

New York. Jan. 1.-THE dead bodies
Of George F. Gallagher, q special po-
liceman, and Nellie Walsh were found
yesterday in q Second avenue apart
ment occupied by them. They had
been asphyxiated by gas, turned on by
them during q New Years carouse.
Five members Of the family Of Julius
Guttentag, real estate dealer living
on One Hundred and Twenty-first
street. were snatched from death yes
terdat. They are Mrs. Mary Gutten-
tag, her children, Dora, aged 8 years:
Pearl, years; Ruth, s months, and
her mother, Mrs. Dora brennan. Gas
was discovered escaping from their
apartments, and when the doors were
broken in the Ave persons were dis
covered in an unconscious condition.
The gas Jet in the dining room was
found open and the tube attached to a
small gas heater In the same room was
detached. The fact that both were
open led to the suspicion of attempted
suicide. The five were hurried to
hospital, and as yet neither of the
women have been able to give an ac-
count of the affair. Mr.. Guttentag de-
clares that it could have been nothing
but an accident.
The bodies Of two men found as
phyxiated by gas In room on TWEEN

been identified as those of Wiro Wal
puski, son of a wealthy manufacturer
Of Morocco jewelry cases, and q win

THICK soLED BOOTS.

SOles, Worn by Marketmen.

soles, Worn by Marketmen.
The description double soled would
doubtless convey to most minds the idea
of the thickest soled shoe or boot there
Is, but as matter Of fact there are made
boots with five soles, making altogether
a sole an inch or more In thickness. Such
boots are worn by marketmen, as, for in.
stance, in Fulton fish market In this city.
There the floor In business hours is al
ways wet. Great quantities of fish are
constantly being handled. Excepting
those frozen in winter, the fishes that
come in boxes are packed in ice. They
are always packing fishes here for ship
ment to the great number of interior
points away from the coast that draw
their supplies Of salt wdter fishes and
fresh water fishes, too, for that matter,
from New York, and the fishes shipped
are packed in Ice. They seem to be for
ever chopping Ice here, and there arc
fragments of Ice scattered around and
melting, and there's constant dripping,
more or less, from the many ice packed
boxes handled, and they're always wash
ing down somewhere to keep the market
clean. So that in business hours the floor
Is always wet.
The marketman moves about for hours
on the wet floor, and to keep his feet dry
he wears, 1t may be, rubber boots or the
five soled marketman's boot, whose sole
is thick enough to raise his feet clear off
the floor sufficiently to keep them dry.
Into the bootleg, convenient place to
carry it, he tucks. when 1t is not in use,
the handle Of the Ratchet which he uses
in opening or mailing up boxes of fish.
There is three soled boot that Is
sometimes worn by bookketpers in the
market, who might have occasion to leave
the Office and go out on the market floor
to look after receipts or shipments. Five
soled and three soled boots are worn also
more or less by smackmen and by men on
shore in various occupations besides mar
ketmen. They are worn by men working
In big refrigerators and In cold storage
warehouses and In abattoirs. Truckmen
wear three soled boots in winter, putting
them on in November and wearing them
till spring, to protect their feet from rain
and slush and snow.
As compared with shoes and boots Of
the ordinary kinds, the number of three
soled and FIVE soled boots sold is small,
but such boots are, nevertheless, articles
of regular and steady sale.-New York

SMOKING A CIGAR.
One Way In Which an Expert Says
It Can't BE Done.

Il have customer who thinks he
smokes rs cigars day." said New Or.
leans dealer. "As a matter of fact he
smokes about three-eighths Of that num-
Der. The other five-eighths represents
what he gives away, lays down partly
consumed and generous disregard Of
butts However, he is firm in the con-
viction that he smokes more actual tobac-
co than any other man in New Orleans
and boast on the subject in my store
yesterday led to Il curious bet
"He declared, to begin with, that he
could smoke three ordinary cigars in half
an hour, and bystander remarked that
no man alive could smoke even one cigar
continuously, until it was consumed,
without taking it from his lips. 'Bosh,'
said the 25 day gentleman, I do that
right along and think nothing of it, III
bet you box of perfectos you can't do
1t right now said the other, and in half
minute the wager was made. BY its
terms the cigar was to be consumed in
steady, consecutive puffs and not remov-
ed from the lips until burned to mark
~ inches from the tip. A clear Havana,
colorado maduro in color, was selected

and began.
HE puffed like an engine for about
two minutes and accumulated something
under half an inch Of ash and then he
began to wabble. He shifted the cigar
from side to side pulled slow and fast
and seemed to have difficulty getting his
breath between the draws. At any rate
he kept moving his head to avoid the
smoke and finally got to coughing.
could see he was in torture, but he stuck
to it until he got within half an inch of
the mark, Then he jumped up suddenly,
threw the cigar away and walked out Of
the store. paid the bet and charged it
to his account, and he told me last night
that the very idea Of tobacco made him
sick. 1t is not unlikely that the affair
will lose me good customer.

for anybody to smoke even a moderately |
strong cigar through in the manner
