THE SITE OF FORT LEE. \,

The site of old Fort Lee Of Rcvo-
lutionary fame is to be reclaimed,
converted from mosquito swamp
to a properly kept reservation and
marked by monument. When tho
state board of health Of New jersey
drained off the polluted wa.crs Of
Parkcr's pond, a sluggish pool on
the Palisades some 1000 feet back
from the cliffs, indisputablc cvi-
dcnccs were found that this breed
ing place for malaria and mosqui-
toes had been Il military post. The
Daughters Of the Revolution and
members Of the Society For the
Preservation Of Scenic and Historic
Places became interested, and re-
search disclosed the fact that the
neglected spot had once been an
important strategic point in Wash
ington's campaigning. The site Of
the old fort is to be restored to its
Revolutionary aspect as far as pos
siblc, the state of New Jersey and
the Empire State Society Sons Of
the American Revolution having
each appropriated $1,000 to begin

PENSIONS AND POLITICIANS.

We favor liboral appropriations
to pension the needy Confederate
soldiers and their widows. The
people who pay the taxes do not
object to tho judicious cxpcndlu
turo Of public funds raised by
proper and reasonable lovy for this
purpose. But we do object to the
pension law being made Il medium
through which aspiring politicians
who think more Of their political
enhancement than they do of the
needs Of the Confederate soldiers
or Of tho people who pay tho taxes
may tr. to build themselves up at
tho expense Of property ownors
and thereafter brag to tho poor
soldiers how they have helped to
increase their pensions. It is but
right that needy Veterans be rccug.
nized and judiciously assisted, but
it IS hurtful to thom and to the
public to make their patrimony a
political lever.

tlId His First Name,

Colonel A. W. Shaifcr, cx-post-
master Of Raleigh, n. G., and man
Of prominence throughout the state,
lived for thirty-livo years in Raleigh
and was Il resident Of that state at
the time Of his death n short time
ago. But no one there or elsewhere
not even his wife, knew his given
name. When Colonel Shalrcr was
appointed postmaster by President
Harrison, it was supposed of course
that he would give his full namc
when subscribing to the oath Of Of.
flee, this being required by the gov.
crnmcnt. The colonel, however
refused to do 80, and it was only
after considerable correspondence
that he was permitted to assume
tho office. No one knows why he
was SO sccrctive about the matter.

Submarine Card Game.

Incredible Us it may seem, there
are two men in Paris who can play
cards under water. The reservoir
in which they play has a capacity OF
about 800 tons Of water, and hy-
draulic and electric machines are
connected with it in such a manner
that tho entire space can be illumi-
mated by means of incandescent
lights.
Three or even more persons can
find room in tho reservoir, and they
have no difficulty in remaining un-
der water for fully five minutes.
Indeed one Of the men remained
under water on one occasion for five
minutes and twenty-seven seconds.
