HE TOOK STONY POINT.
JAMES HENRY LEARNS FROM HIS
GRANDFATHER ABOUT MAD
ANTHONY WAYNE"

Grandfather, where is Stony Point? l hear
so much about the place lately, but don't know
where 1t is" said James Henry.
IF you will look into the history of Anthony
Wayne which 1 bought for you some time ago
you will find a description Of Stony Point and
you will see that it is about forty-two miles
from New York, in Rockland County at the
head of Haverstraw Bay.
You probably heard the place spoken of fire.
quently of late because park. to commemorate
the victory of the American forces, was dedi-
Gated there on the 123d anniversary OF the
battle.
''In the days of the Revolutionary War stony
Point the picturesque rocky promontory about
ten miles below West Point was known as the
lower gateway of the Hudson, and was con-
si6ered a highly important place. 1t was strong
" fortified by the Americans. but the British
captured strengthened and garrisoned the place
and held it until the American forces under
Mad Anthony Wayne made night attack
on the Notifications, stormed and carried them
That was on July 16, 14I9.
General Wayne was wounded in the head
and, thinking that he would die. he ordered his
men to advance Carry me into the fort he
said and let me die at the head Of the column
But he did not die of the wound and lived to
receive the rewards of bravery"
"No. the forts and breastworks along the
Hudson disappeared after the war, for there
was no necessity for maintaining them. We
needed forts after that time only in our har-
bors and on the Western frontier. The fort at
Stony Point was destroyed shortly after its
capture. Near it stood the house where Bene-
diet Arnold plotted to turn over to the British
the Hudson River strongholds. and for many
years the old house was the chief object Of in
terest in that part of the country. But il was
destroyed by fire in 1892. and many people
were glad Of it, They wanted everything per
tanning to Arnold wiped out"
Who was Anthony Wayne? Was he good
soldier before he took Stony Point
Indeed he was. His grandfather was a sol
der in the army of King William ILL., and fought
in the battle Of the Boyne. and his father was
also a soldier: but he saw service in this ooun-
try against the Indians. Anthony had tn sol
der spirit. and after he graduated from
the Philadelphia Academy and in business as L
land surveyor he organized military body, and
when the with England broke out ne was
colonel OF a Pennsylvania regiment. In lII1 he
became a brigadier general and joined Wash
ingtons command in Ncw-Jerscy. The fact
that he was a good soldier shown by a
port of Washngton's. in which Wayne was
spoken Of because Of his bravery and good con
duct"
why did they call him Mad Anthony
Wayne'?"
He had the reputation for being a daring
courageou man. and, although Washington
called him president Wayne the people called
him Mad He had SO many nicknamcs
The Indians called him Black Snake and Tor
nado.' and they also called him by a name
which meant wild mad But you viii be
surprised to know that one of his nicknames
New-York tribune., 1902-07-20

with all his good soldier qualities. was very
fond of dress, and there was no occasion so I'M
portant that he could neglect his uniform. In
one of his letters to Washington he said that he
preferred elegant uniforms and soldierly ap-
pearance to poorly clad troops with greater
amount of ammunition. His enemies made the
most of Wayne's fondness for dress and made
him unhappy by nicknaming him Dandy
You remember reading about Washington's
army at Valley Forge-how the men suffered
for want of food and necessary clothing? Well
it was Mad Anthony Wayne who braved all
dangers with his men and brought many sup
plies to the shivering. starving patriots. Late
in the war, when he sent to capture Fort
Lee. but was defeated, he swept the country of
horses. cattle and all portable stores. This gave
rise to poem by Major John Andre in which

A Merciful JUDGE.

To be sentenced to Imprisonment
for the term of ones natural life is
hard enough, but to be consigned to
a dungeon cell for a couple of thou
sand years is indeed narrowing. Yet
foreign Judges not infrequently ins-
pose sentences Of several centuries
without it being considered any
thing remarkable.
a young man was arrested in vi
emma a couple of years ago who upon
his own showing should have been
sentenced to $500 years imprison-
ment. A total of 400 charges was
brought against him, and he was
convicted and sentenced on all. Of
them. But the judge was a merci-
full man, and i'll passing sentence he
threw off a thousand years in con-
sideration of the mans youth.

THE OLDEST MONASTERY.
It Dates Back to the Fifth Century
and Is Most Inaccessible.


The oldest monastery in the world
is Marsuba, q fortress that clings to
the top ard sides CT a rocky cliff at
the end Of Nedron valley, near the
Dead sea.
It's the wcirdcst place that man
ever happened on, with only the
cries of the jackal and the call Of
the night birds to break the fright
full stiffness that broods over the
land. 1t Is destroyed stronghold
of the crusaders and the tomb of
nomad chieftain, Shcik Messiah.
In the early part of the fifth cen
tury the Sabaites took possession of
it. This was an order of monks of
which San Sabas was the superior.
The larger part of the monastery
was built by them. Their numbers
finally so increased that the mon
astery would not hold them all, and
10000 took up their abode in rock
caves in the mountain opposite.
Four thousand remained in the
monastery proper. In the seventh
century the Persian hordes attack
ed and plundered them. After that
castlelike tower was built to serve
as defense.
Later another tower was added to
it, and, strange to relate, this last
was monument to woman's love.
It was built by the Empress Eu-
doxia, that she might dwell in it
and so be near to Euthymius, a
monk with whom she had fallen in
love because he represented, as she
declared, her ideal of manhood.
Euthymius, however, was noted
for his sanctity, and he would not
violate his VOW. He refused to see
the lady, and he even fed from her
to the 1Ioabite desert, beyond the
Jordan. Finally the empress left
her post never to return, and the
tower was annexed as part of the
monastery.
1t is now used as a lookout, and a
watchman is constantly stationed
there. When visitor knocks and
knocks repeatedly, he at last opens
a small window in the tower and
looks out to demand the letter of
introduction from the Greek patri-
arch of Jerusalem, without which
none is ever permitted to enter.
When once inside, visitors are
practically prisoners, for the iron
bolts of the great door are quickly
slipped in place, and there is no 9th
er exit. Within paved courtyard
is a small Roman chapel, contain
ing San Sabas' tomb. An outer
veranda in the courtyard leads to the
Church Of St. Nicholas, one Of the
oldest in Palestine.

INCORPORATION DEFEATED.
The Vote was 1o1 for and 1o1 Against
at Las Cruces.

Friday was the day set by the u
ty commissioners for hearing the in
corporation matter. The "antis' found
it necessary to go to Ell Paso for Judge
Hamilton to represent them. The COM
missioners began going over the
names attached to the petitions and
finished their work about IL p. m. The
result was 101 for and 1O1 against in
corporation, which defeats incorpora-
ton. This means that another long
hard fight for incorporation is before
us. 1t seems strange that the greater
part of those opposed are practically
non-tax payers, while those in favor in
clude the business men of town and
the heaviest a payers. 1t has been
ascertained hat maximum taxes that
one of the opposition leaders would be
called upon to pay under incorporation
would be SO cents per year. Yet this
same man in public meeting said he
was willing to give SIS per year to
help clean up our streets. Consistent

"Home Nursinu."

We have before us a copy of a new
publication, entitled Home Nursing"
The object of the book is to give prac-
teal instructions how to take care of
the sick by the inexperienced. In train
ing schools for nurses, instructions are
of course given in all matters of this
kind, but let any woman ask herself,
Gould | give a bath to a person in bed
without wetting the clothing, or
change the undeTsheet while the bed
was occupicd?" and she will smile at
the seeming impossibility; yet when
she is shown, she VIII wonder why she
did not discover the right way herself
In this little book practical instruc'
tons are given for the performance OF
all necessary offices pertaining to the
sick. The knowledge of any of them
is not taken for granted, and the
writer has tried to do it in such q
plain, simple manner that no n need
mistake the easiest way.
A sample copy OF this valuable boob
can be had upon application to the
publishers, Davis & Lawrence Co, g.
Grant street, New York city, enclosing
to them sc in stamps or coin to pay
the expense of mailing and stating thi
name of this paper.
