Various Sources Of Silk.

Silkworms are not the sole source or
the production of silk. 1t is also ob-
tanned from several vegetable sub
stances, but OF an inferior and less
durable description. Excellent coloreo
silk is obtained from the prepared and
finer fbers Of the bamboo, which Is
much in demand for clothing in top-
ical countries from its nghtness and
poresity. Another form Of silk Is OBJ
tanned from the pods Of the silk cotton
tree, of which there are several Varle-
ties in existence. the material obtained
from them being known as vegetable

He Helped to Break Up the Tweed
 Ring-Member of Committee of 7o.
 New York, Aug 25.-John Foley, whose fight against the Tweed ring had much to do with breaking up chat ring and who carried on his work against municipal corruption with such vigor that his opponents called him common scold, died on Satur- day night at his home, 442 Lexington avenue. He was born irr-Greland in 1884, and started a gold pen business which, in the course of time, made him comparatively wealthy.
 in 1871, after Tammany had abol- ished the office of supervisor, to which he had been elected. he helped to start the committee of seventy. He then got out an injunction against the Tweed off1ceholders, whose corruption Foley alleged had cost the city S5O,- COG, 900. President Grant and Cover nor Tilden supported him in that fight.

GOOD JOB WE'LL DONE.
Building of Storm Water Sewers il
 Brooklyn Now Completed.

Building of Storm Water Sewers 1n
 Brooklyn Now Completed.
 Two fine additions to the storm wa ter drainage system in this city have just been completed in che Brooklyn district. One Is an addition to. the large storm water sewer on Green street. It extends from the corner of South Wilson, where 1t receives the contents of two catch basins, down Washin gton avenue across Poplar ave nue to Green street. where 1t connects with the storm water sewer on that street. This big improvement was completed on Saturday. The other extends from Bank street up through the property of the HeHmann Brewing Go, north across the Mark s1erry property and the Porter estate, crosses Clark street onto Wilson street, where it ends in kind of swamp. Al it's terminus is large catch basin with two openings gs-one in the front to receive the water from Wilson street, the other in the rear to receive the water from the swamp. There are two catch basins on Wilson street and on Clark street. It is a gigantic Improvement. It is completed with the exception of the putting in of two catch basins.
 With the building of these two fine storm water sewers there should be no more trouble with an excess of water in that section of the city These storm water drainage systems should be capable of carrying away all the water, no matter how great the storm is. For years considerable damage has been done by water from that territory whenever there was large storm. It has cost the city hun dreds of dollars and property owners nearly as much Streets were wiped out with every storm and often eel lars were flooded. But not only were Washington avenue. Poplar avenue, Green street and other streets in that vicinity damaged much, but Bank street was also torn up. Any quan- tity of stones and debris used to be carried by the floods all along Bank street to the railroad bridge. There the water and dirt used to lodge, blockading traffic and sometimes flooding the stores in the immediate vicinity. As the result of one oi these floods, suit for $1,OOO damages was brought against. the city by MT and Mrs Robert Walker short time since. But all the trouble and annoy ance and inconvenience will now pc done away with, provided the new storm water sewers work rlgnL' aiiu there is no doubt chat they will.
 The board of public works should receive much credit for having two such fine additions to the storm water drainage system built

 There was a very exciting runaway in this section about o'clock this morning. A horse attached to a bakery wagon belonging to the Brooklyn Lith- uanian Bakery Go became frightened on the upper part of James street and started to run away. It succeeded in breaking loose from the efforts of the driver to restrain it and went down the decline on James street at a light ming clip. The driveS jumped and es- caped injury. The horse continued along James street, across Bank, and tried to enter the driveway underneath the headquarters of the Lithuanian In dependent Political club, but it was not successful The wagon swung around, smashed into a bootblack stand in front of Munro's barber shop and broke the window of the shop. The horse was badly cut, while the wagon, which was a new one, was almos wreck.

. STATE DEBT REDUCED.
Treasurer Gallup Buys $200,OOo 3 Per
 Cents

Treasurer Gallup Buys $20O,OOO 5 Per
 Gents.
 State Treasurer H. H. Gallup recent ly bought $2OOOO0 state bonds which would mature October l, 1910, ana mas cancelled them They bore per cent interest and were of the issues or March 10, April 9 and 9, 1885, and the interest was payable April ana October. The present condition of the money market, with the great demand for money, was favorable for the pur- chase. the state had the money in the treasury and MT Gallup was able to buy the bonds at 1O1 an excellent transaction for the state. This pur- chase leaves the funded debt of the state but SLIPS, 100, all but S1O0 of which is paying per cent; the $1OO in a bond of the issue of July IA and 2l, 1865, upon which interest ceased Oc- tober 1. 1885. This bond is probably lost or destroyed and in all probability will never be presented for redemp- ton.
 The bonded debt of the state on Sep- tember 30 last was S1 ,663, 100, 1885, 900 of which bears 31a per cent matured on January 1, 1903, and was redeemed and cancelled by the treasurer The redemption of the $2oO,0O0 per cents makes a saving of $6,0OO annually in interest to the state, an item of consid- erable importance. The finances of the state were never in better condi- tion and this latest purchase of bonds shows that Treasurer Gallup is looking after the states finances in redeem ing bonds when there is money in the treasury and they can be purchased to good advantage.

Genius of Conn ecticut Gan be Repaired
 as She Stands
 The staging on the dome of the Cap ito1 around the bronze figure Of the Genius of Connecticut was completed yesterday. Contractor Angus finished his inspection and prepared report to the comptroller as to. bhe condition of the statue and his recommendations TOT repairs yesterday morning. The comp trolier will receive the report to-mor- row morning, when he returns to the city.
 No one was allowed to go out on the staging except the workmen, but those who have seen 1t say its twenty live Of outdoor life have left the statue weather beaten but quite intact. The worst fault in the figure is crack in the left side of the bust. Other spots which show are the square Keys which hold the parts of the statue to- gether. It was made in several sec tions and these were put together after its arrival there. The cracks between these parts also show somewhat, espe- cially where the green verdegrls mas wcrked out.
 It is also said that the foundations of the statue are in need of repa1f. The bolt which anchors the figure in places is twenty seven feet long so the lever age on the stone foundations in a high wind is immense. The masonry here will probably need at least repointing
 Tn general the condition of the statue may be said to be fair. The plan which MT Angus has proposed to the comptroller for repairing it does not necessitate the statues removal from its present position.

0'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

.-
 Have you been reading the papers for .tb~ last two or three weeks, and have you noticed how property up in the northeastern part of the town is changing hands? The reason for this is that the property up there is rapidly increasing in value, and people are buy ing it because they want a good invest ment for their money. I sold a house up there three weeks ago for man, and last week I sold it again for the new owner at an advance of $200. On Vine street have a three-family house, practically new; that rents for $492 q year. This is 10 per cent on $4,92O. You can buy it for considerably less.
