WASHINGTON IRvINe's GRAVE.
A Visit to Sleepy Holiow's Ancient and
Neglected Cemetery.

Any one who may be passing along
the main road between TarrytOwn and
Ossining in the northern part of larry
town sees the old Sleepy Hollow Gene
terry extending forty or fifty rods along
the east side of the thoroughfare. with
the quaint little church at the south
end of it. The cemetery may be enter
ed at the church gate or anywhere
along the low stone wall that separates
the graveyard from the road.
The long narrow cemetery, climbing
the steep hill from the church, is beau
tiful in situation. but unkempt. A
workman has a contract to cut the
grass twice in the season; and except
for a short time after he has piled his
scythe among the crumbling grave
stones, the thick and matted grass lies
in tangles that completely hide from
view the broken stones which once
marked the last resting places of farm
ers and their families who died two
centuries and more ago, representatives
Of the first generations Of Dutch set
tiers who lived in the valley of the
Hudson.
The church society has little money
with which to keep this ancient ceme-
terry in repair: and so. as the bones OF
the burghers buried here have crum-
bled into dust. the little brownstone
monuments that marked their graves
as long as any lived who remembered
them have fallen into ruins: or IL any
still stand, the effacing storms and de-
cay of many years have left in most
cases only trace of the lettering,
some fragments of which may still be
read.
A little way inside the wall is mar

are marked by no unheaval Of the soil

whose bases, still rooted in the earth,

UTILIZING WATERMELoNs.
How to Convert Five Cents Into
OoIIar-A Yankee Device.

Nearly every year thousands Of
watermelons are allowed to rot on
the ground for lack of market, while
upon still larger numbers the profit is
so small as to scarcely pay the farmer.
Some ingenious and thrifty New
Highlander has started a movement in
Georgia to put an end to the waste and
to utilize the melons upon a large
scale. He has given his system an ex-
perimental trial. and finds that it
works well upon small scale.
The fruit is washed, cut open and
the rind separated from the flesh with

pieces, and is either picked, sweet

and the seeds taken out and put to one
side. These are dried. and may be
used to plant the next crop or to be
shipped to Chinese communities,
where they are a very popular deli

graves within rising above one another
on the hillside.
A little notheast Of the centre OF this
enclosure is the grave Of Washington
Irving. 1t is distinguished from the
others only by the fact that the white
marble tombstone is a little broader
and higher and has a rounded and
slightly ornate Top. 9
It bears simply the name. the age and
the dates of the birth and death of the
distinguished author. Around his
grave are fifty or sixty other tomb
stones each bearing the name of Irving
or showing by it's inscription that the
person commemorated was member
OF the family. There was no trace here
Of the ruin and neglect that mark all
the older parts of the cemetery.
In another part of the churchyard are
the graves of the Badeau family; its
most conspicuous member was Gen.
Adam Badeau whose record in the Civil
War and connection with Gen. Grant
made him well known. His tombstone
is rather more conspicuous than the
others but none Of the thirty or forty
graves of his relatives shows that it
has any attention save from the scythe
of the solitary grass cutter.
Curiously enough one of the older
tombstones of this interesting spot is
still erect and its inscription may be
read, though with difficulty. It records
the fact that the man buried there out
lived century and left behind him 24O
direct descendants. Time has dealt
kindly with this notable record craven
in brownstone; and surely the memory
Of a man who had so conspicuous a
part in populating the country deserves
perpetuation.

ENDMENTS
ARE ALL CARRIED
OFFICIAL RETURNS PLACE THE
RESULT BEYOND DOUBT.
ANTl-PAsS MOST POPULAR
Change Regarding Banking Legislation
Has Smallest Majority in Its Favor
Election of State Superintendent
in Spring Is Approved by Margin
of Some 5000 Votes.

All three of the amendments that
were submitted to the people at the
recent election we're passed. Official
returns have been filed at the Office Of
Secretary of State Froehlich from all
but IL of the II counties of the state
and estimating the votes from these
with reference to the results in those
counties heard from, it is found that
there is no LIKELIHOOD OF any " tic
three constitutional changes having
failed to carry.
The anti-pass amendment received
the largest majority, the vote being al
most two in favor to one in opposition.
The amendment was submitted for the
purpose of making it unconstitutional
for any railroad or other carrying cor
poratiOn to issue passes to legisl atOrs
and oLner state officers. 1t also makes
illegal the issuance of telegraph, tele-
phone. express and other franks.
The banking amendment received
the smallest comparative support. 1t
will be found to have passed by a ma
jority of probably less than 1000.
This amendment was designed to give
the state legislature the power to
enact banking laws, and particularly
the power was contemplated to enact
a law which shall bring about a degree
of uniformity in the operation OF the
banking system of the state.
The amendment referring to the
Office of state superintendent of public
instruction was passed by majority
Of between 5000 and 5000. This was
to change the time of the election OF
this state officer from the autumn to
the spring election, designed for the
purpose of removing the office from
the field of politics, 1t also gives the
legislature the power to make the sal
airy of the superintendent as high, if it
so desire, as Is the pay of the other
officers. He now receives $1,000 a
year, but a "side job is always found
for him, worth perhaps $100, but aug
menting his salary by some $4,000.
