ode Lancey's Ancient Pine"

There is an interesting pine tree in Bronx
Park, close to the entrance Of the Geolog-
ical Gardens. that is worthy Of greater
honor than is usually accorded It, To few
old-timers who remember the locality be-
fore it ever became a part of New York
this old tree goes by the name Of De Ian
cey's pine. poem has been written about
1t, setting forth the virtues Of DE Lam
cey's ancient pine" The tree is by far the
tallest for miles around, and although its
lower branches have been badly treated, a
towering mass of green boughs surmounts
the majestic survivor of the days when the
old De Lancey family owned large ,por-
ton of the estate now in the Bronx Park
domain. The old De Lancey house that
was the scene of many gay parties in pre-
thirty years ago. The tall pine is supposed
to be close to $50 years old at the least.
and it's present condition is favorable for at
least another century of life.

La Danse du Gateau.
, Inndnp naily Tnlo0ranh

From the London Daily Telegraph
The "cakewalk' is catching on in Paris
at a great rate. 1t is undergoing the pro-
cess Of Frenchiication by the younger NJ
de Soria. professor Of dancing at the Con-
servatoire. who has had help and hints
from the professional "cakewalkers,' now
at the Nouveau Cirque. 1t promises to be
the rage during the winter. and many peo-
pie are now practicing the five figures, be-
ginning with that in which the dancers
start off hand in hand and ending with
their separation and resumption of the walk
independently. NJ. de Soria fills has already
written a short treatise. giving a general
description of the "cakewalk." with accom-
panying illustrations of the figures. Nine.
Jeanne Granier and Mile Eve Lavilliere are
supposed to be the pioneers Of the new
dance in Paris. They saw 1t in London last
season. and returned to the boulevards de-
lighted with it. They astonished their
friends by their limitations Of the "danse
du gateau" Of the American darkies.

A REBATE SYSTEM.
Proposed on Imported Goods by Rep
resentative Fitzgerald.

resentattve Fitzgerald.
bill proposing rebate system on i'm
ported goods was introduced in the House
today by Representative Fitzgerald Of New
York. The bill provides that there shall be
allowed rebate of 10 per centum Of the
duty imposed by law upon all goods, wares,
merchandise, articles or things imported
into the United States from any foreign
country or from any territory, property Of
the United States between which territory
and the United States vessels of other than
American registry are permitted to engage
in the carrying trade, whenever such goods,
wares. merchandise, articles or things are
carried in vessels Of American registry.
Mr.. Fitzgerald says his bill proposes a
simple way to upbuild our merchant ma
rine. 1t avoids all subsidies, and at the
same time gives American ships tremendous
advantages over vessels Of all other nations.
The bill Is simplicity Itself. 1t provides
that upon all imports into the United States
from foreign countries or from the foreign
possessions the country where foreign YES
sells are permitted to engage In the carry
Ing trade between those possessions and
this country, there shall be allowed a
rebate Of 10 per cent of the duty imposed
by law upon the goods carried in vessels Of
American registry.
Three things are accomplished by the
bill. Onerous tariffs are lowered; American
ships and the shipbuilding industry are en-
couraged and protected. and cheaper
freights are assured, both upon imports and
exports. 1t is apparent to any one who will
consider the matter but a moment that the
rebate allowed by the bill would be divided
between the freight payer and the freight
carrier.
1T Is my purpose to discuss this measure
in the House at an early date. It may not
be out of place to call attention at this
time however, to the fact that during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1902, the United
States collected in customs duties $50, A.
70S. Had there been sufficient ships of
American registry to have carried the
goods imported to this country they would
have been aided by rebates amounting to
25.444,77O. This would have enabled them
to practically monopolize the carrying trade
of the world.
mo inconvenience would have resulted to
the United States. since our surplus reve-
nues for the same fiscal year aggregated
the enormous sum of SOL ,297 1916.
1.-THE enactment Of this bill into law
would do violence to no democratic theory
Of government; it would avoid the vice of
all proposed subsidy schemes and 1t would
insure, what all Americans earnestly desire,
the supremacy Of our merchant marine"

SCHOONER IN DISTRESS.
Crew Narrowly Escapes Death From
Effects Of Cold.

The crew Of the Baltimore schooner A. B.
Wagner. Capt. John H. Waters. had a try
ing experience with the vessel at the mouth
Of the Rappahannock river a few days ago.
The schooner was receiving load Of lum-
Der at the entrance to one Of the many
tributaries of the river, when the heavy ice
began to move at night and cut big hole
in her hull. The vessel quickly filled and
sunk in about six feet of water, sufficient
to cover her decks. The members Of the
crew took refuge on the pile Of lumber on
the vessels deck, but the moving ice packed
against 1t and threatened to carry 1t away
at any moment. The night was intensely
cold and the men suffered greatly, their
boots freezing on their feet. When day
light came they succeeded in making their
way over the ice to the shore, and finally
reached Warsaw. The vessel, it is feared,
is badly damaged.
