HALL OF FAME SUGGESTION.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In regard those worthy Of place in the
niche OF fame I afraid that the claims of many
of best American inventors whose labors have
been of incaculable benefit to America, as we'll as
the human at large. being overlooked
in favor of those whose work is ephemeraL L
therefore take the liberty of suggesting two names:
is that of Eli Whitney. the inventor OF the
cotton gin, and the other that of Amos White
more, the inventor of the card machine. OF this
latter invention Edward Everett remarked in a
speech in Congress a petition to have the patent
extended. owing to its taking so long TO complete
the invention that the inventor would not be able
receive any compensation for his labors. that IL
almost human in the perfect manner in whlch
did its work. These inventions have been the
means OF adding untold wealth to the South. out
their value has been local, the whole manu-
featuring world having derived benefit from them.
Surely Mr.. Editor. you will agree with me that
these two great American geniuses deserve corner
IN the niche 1t might be well also TO consider the
claims of other great American inventors, such as
John Fitch. BENJAMIN Franklin. Oliver Evans.
Samuel Slater. David Bushnell. Robert Fulton
ford, whose memoirs set forth by Henry Howe
in volume published in 1s40 by w. F. Peckham,
Hitchcock & Stafford printers. New-Haven. Conn.
New-York April IL, 1901. HENRY DEXTER.
IWhitney's name is already inscribed In the
Hall OF Fame. 1t among the frsf chosen
The names Of franklin and Fulton are. OF

sAMUEL ALDEN FOSTER.

Samuel Alden Foster died at his home No 400
Summer-ave., Newark, y. j.. on Wednesday after
noon. after brief Illness. He was born in Water
town. y. V, in 1851. After being educated in AL
bany. N Y. he was for twenty years in the
ploy of W. NJ. Whitney & Co. of that city. He
was afterward connected with houses in San Fran
years he had been connected with l. S. Plaut &
Co, of Newark, as lace buyer and as buyer for
eight other departments. He occasionally
called by the United States Government authorities
at the Custom House New-York City. as expert in
lace valuation in difficult cases. Mr. Foster was
descended from the Aldens of Plymouth through
his fathers mother. and he showed through all MS
life the influence of this strain of Puritan blood.
In early manhood Mr.. Foster married Miss May
Norton only child of Colonel Frank and Caroline
Norton who, with his daughter, survives him.

these conditions a compromise system has grown
up. Children receive what might be termed OBJ

taught carpentry and manual arts and similar
things. but of books nothing. save what their
elders may tell them. AS far it has gone, the
system seems to have worked farnously. One great
object of the system is to make the child look upon
study as pleasure, and not task: the school,

place TO look upon with dread and to play hockey

Gator has certainly succeeded, and the children
have seen who attended these modern schools look
forward to schooltme with pleasure and plead
not with their parents for a sick excuse. Per-

NOW Is THE TINE TO PLANT TREES.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The proper season for planting trees I'm our
city streets has arrived. and systematic
effort enlist property owners and particularly
home owners, in improving the streets of the city
is being undertaken by this association.
The most effective way is for one more resi-
dents of each block to form clubs of ten more
friends or neighbors who will plant trees at a
stipula ted price The nurserymen recommended by
the association will make low schedule of prices
for large orders.
With the investment Of capital and energy
it is not possible in any other way to accomplish
so much in beautlfying city by the planting
of shade trees along its residence streets and in
private yards where IL is not possible 10 plant in
front of the houses.
Not only do add greatly to the beauty of
city. but they add TO its heathfulness and to the
comfort of all who traverse its streets
They afford more pleasure ard comfort in pro-
portion to their cost than any other expenditure of
equal amount.

THE RURAL VOTER DOES NOT WANT IT.
To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: AS reader of The Tribune from the rural
district, | wish congratulate you the position
you have taken the Stranahan Mortgage Tax
bill and particularly the editorials of the 18th
and 18th inst. They hit the nail squareiy on the
head. Mr.. Stranahan and some of the other ad-
pretend that the people in the rural dis
tricts are for the bill. Nothing is further from the
truth. IT is direct tax against the borrower, ana
he pays the tax in the end every time. Every feat
lIre of the bill is wrong In fact it Is the most
iniquitous bill that ever emanated from the brain
of man. John H. EDW ARDS
