Frederick Philipse-to use the modern
Anglicised spelling-frst appeared in
New Amsterdam as a carpenter from
Holland. 1t seems uncertain, however,
whether he was Hollander or the
child of Bohemian parents who had
taken refuge from religious persecu-
ton in the low countries. But what
ever he may have been by origin,
Philipse soon allied himself by mar
riage with the Dutch settlers, gaining
worldly wealth as well as domestic
happiness by the transaction.
Was Lord of the Manor.
In 1872 he made his first purchase
of land north of the Harlem. Twenty
years later the manorial rights of the
territory between the Harlem river
and Pocantico creek were confirmed
to him by the British crown-and in
those days manorial rights meant
great DEAL including the rights of ad
vowson. or the appointment of minis
ters of the gospel. and the jurisdiction
of courts baron and leet. A lord of
the manor in the seventeenth century
was, in fact, feudal potentate so far
as his domain extended. Established
in these territorial privileges PATRON
Philipse, having been left widower
with several children, married Kat
rina Van C0urtlandt, daughter of
the patrician order in which he had
now attained membership. The biog-
raphers seem to be of two minds as
to the religious proclivities of this
| first lord of the manor of Tarrytown;
some represent him as pious and Or
| thodox member of the Reformed
church of Holland, as constituted by
the synod of Dordrecht; others say he
was of a somewhat Indifferent ten
dency Of thought, and one of his po-
litical enemiS1, of whom he had
scores, accused MIN of being papist.
On the whole, whatever may have
been the religious feeling of Frederick
Philipse, the true foundress of the
Sleepy Hollow church was his wife
Katrina. The PATRON himself sat
with his family Sunday after Sunday
on the throne, or seigniorial high
seat, to the right of the preacher. thus

AT SLEEPY HOLLOW.
THE HISTORIC OLD DUTCH
CHURCH STILL STANDS.
Three Hundredth Anniversary of Its
Establishment - Many "reminiscences
Center in the Quaint Little Building
The Old Parish Register.
Especial Letter.


In the old Dutch church of Sleepy
Hollow, N. Y, memorable service
was held on New Years eve. 1t was
a watch meeting to commemorate the
three hundredth anniversary of the
establishment of the church. Every
thing contributed to the Sleepy Hol-
low watch night an atmosphere of
weird pictuesqueness, There is no
apparatus for gas or electric lighting
in the old building; it was lighted for
the occasion entirely by candles, as
in the days of the fathers. When the
last hymn had been sung-the first of
the new century-and the benediction
given, it occurred to someone in the
congregation that the candles used in
that memorable service were worthy
to be preserved as souvenirs. The
idea was taken up by one after an
other of the worshipers, and in the
first hour of the twentieth century the
darkness of the silent winter night
was illumined by long stream of i'm
promptu candle bearers issuing forth
from those historic doors. The night,
though seasonabIy cold, was still, and
the candles remained lighted until
those who carried them had scattered
far and wide on their homeward ways.
A Valuable Relic.
1t is good to know that public in
terest has been thoroughly aroused to
the Importance Of preserving the mem
ories that cluster about this monument
OF a Fascinating and important past,
Both Sleepy Hollow in particular and
the people of New York in general owe
much gratitude to Washington Irv-
ing for this, and, after Washington
Irving, to the various organizations
which make it their business to res
cue and preserve from oblivion the
elements of national history that are
connected with the few material relics
Of early American settlements.
As it is, the building itself is care
fully guarded against decay; services
are still held there in the summer,
when the neighborhood of Tarrytown
is filled with summer sojourners, and
on special occasions like that Ct New
Years eve. Most important of all, the

X-Ray Treatment of Cancer First
Tried Here.
In connection with the article concerning
the treatment Of cancer by means Of the
X-ray quoted in The Star from the
New York Herald, 1t IS worthy of note that
the credit Of developing this important rem
edy is due to doctors in our own city. Both
at the X-ray congress held in Chicago and.
as understand it. at the congress in Paris,
France, 1t was shown that the earliest cork
in this line, either in Europe or America, OF
which there is any record in print was
that done by DR.. Walter H Merrill and DR..
Wallace Johnson of Washington. This form
of treatment has been applied with great
success for over two years. and the results
are well known to many of our best physi-
cfans / inclose an article from the Phiia-
delphia Medical Journal of December s and
Is, 1900, describing some Of the earlier
work. G. h. MERW1N.
In the paper mentioned the authors, after
noting the development of the X-ray as a
therapeutic agency say:
1--WE are firmly convinced that, by means
of the proper application of this agent under
conditions Of no practical discomfort to the
patient, We can bring about the painless re-
moval of the slow-growing epitheliomas.
These growths especially when they occur
on the face, are very disiguring; if allowed
to progress they produce a condition loath-
some in the extreme. Treatment of such
feet that is incomparably better in cosmetic
results than that which must accompany
extirpation by knife or caustic. Further
more, our experiments lead us to believe
that even In inoperable cases OF carcinoma
attacking superficial parts we may give
great relief from pain and can even slightly
prolong life. If we can dispense with the
use OF opiates in this class Of cases and
free the patients from pain while leaving
the intellect clear and digestion undisturbed
We have made a great improvement in the
therapeutics of this condition"
Then follow notes Of six cases treated to
the date Of the deliverance, year ago. in
all OF which the result was satisfactory.
Some of the cases were apparently cured,
while others were still under treatment at
the time. In conclusion the authors say:
I'VE fully realize that the number OF our
cases is far too small for any generalization,
and yet they lead us to hope that when 9TH
ers report cases similarly treated, and when
our own list Is longer, the medical profess
sion will be ready to admit that the X-rays
are a valuable addition to the therapy of
this dread disease"
