Field Family Neglected to Pay Taxes
 on Plot of Ground.

New City, N. Y., Nov S.-The monu- ment erected by the date Cyrus w. Field of this city at Tappan to the memory of Major Andre. has been sold for the non-payment of taxes. The monument stands upon the Andre hill just over the spot where the British officer was buried after his death bs hanging. Since the death of MT Field his family has neglected to pay taxes on the plot of ground, 100 feet square, within which the memorial shaft stands.
 This property was one of several pieces sold recently by the county treasurer of Rockland, and when It was put up for sale there were no bidders. The amount of taxes due was $6.3S, and for this sum the grosind and monument were bought ill by the treasurer for the county. If it is not redeemed within a specified time the shaft and land upon which it stands will pass out of the hands of the Field family and become the permanent property of Rockland county.

 Admiral Rojestvellsky was angered at the British warships following him from Vigo. According to a naval off cer, he signaled them:
 If you do not keep off we will fire"
 The British promptly answered. Fire away
 The Russian commander did not car ry out his threat.
 Four British warships are following the fleet, nominally going to Ascension and St Helena islands Great Britain has arranged for chain of ships to keep ill touch by means of wireless te- legraphy with the Russians, so that statements made by the officers who were left behind as being responsible for the North sea incident can always be submitted to Admiral Rojestvensky for his yerification or otherwise

EAGLES INSPECT THE
 4 NEW FLATIRON.

New York, Nov S.-A workman on the tower of the new Flatiron building, at Forty-second street and Broadway, yesterday happened to glance down in the street and saw thirty or forty per sons looking up at him. gesticulating and pointing. He was wondering what was extraordinary about himself when, far up above his head, he heard a sharp cry and, looking up, saw q magnificent bald-headed eagle swoop- ing down in q great curve.
 Down, down came the bird like a cannon ball, checked itself for min ute five hundred feet above the top Of the skyscraper and, turning, gracefully mounted upward.
 Soaring, on motionless wings, Il thousand feet above the tower. were four black specks that the workman made out to be other eagles. As they were joined by the first, all of them settled down slowly to within a few hundred feet of the building, apparent ly to inspect the tower as q crag where possibly nests might sometime be built.
 The crowd i'll the street below grew greater. till fully two thousand persons were watching the curious flight of the great birds. The movements of the man on the tower seemed to satisfy them that it was not good nesting place and they caught the west wind under their great wings and sailed ma- testically away over the East river and Queens into the fastnesses of Long Is- land
 Keeper William Snyder of the Cell- tral Park ..Zoo" says that the park keepers have endless trouble with eagles from Long Island that come up to the park in the early morning, mak- ing the trip of fifty. seventy five or a hundred and fifty miles, to this bit of protected green to swoop down upon the fat gray squirrels and carry them off for breakfast. The keeper, whose business it is to hunt cats and skunks fin the park, has frequent brushes with these great birds, and sometimes brings them down with his rife from high attitudes.
 An eagle will cover two hundred miles in less than two hours if he has the wind with him.

 72-74 South Main st. Telephone 22O. OH. HEATERS

According to the old song, "'Twas a cold frosty morning when Uncle Nea he died," and we wonder if Oil Heat CTS had been known in those days whether Uncle Ned's life could not have been prolonged perhaps even to this day. Of course we might have missed the old song, but we think that Uncle Ned would have enjoyed livins vastly more than we enjoy listening to his musical obituary. However, be that as it may, the fact is plain that to get out of nice warm bed these cold mornings and dress in a cold, frosty room is far from pleasant, and after the days work is over a cold room is a cheerless thing to contemplate, no matter how attractively it may be fur, nished. The introduction of a little warmth will change all this and add a feeling of comfort to any room. The expense, not over 1c an hour, is hardly to be considered, and as there is no dust. no smoke, no smell, an OIL HEATER seems to fill this need.
 Prices from $2.75 to $4.5O.

 The Malay-American pair kept straight on to their seats. The young woman blushed violently. An attache of the house hurried down the aisle, leaned over the Filipino and whisper ed that the audience was opposed to Filipino gallants associating with American girls and that the decision of the audience in such matters was final.
 The Filipino and the young woman arose and departed, running q gaunt- let of hissing from the time they start ed up the aisle until they disappeared at the rear of the house.
