HIS MAIL IS ENORMOUS

Esopus, N. r.. July 15.-The heaviest mail in the history of Rosemount came in for Judge Parker today and an en- ormous number of letters went out. AL most every state in the union was repre- sented ia the 9ail Tho West slzol ra'i- road and it's station at Esopus now be- gin to show signs of the importance which the railroad company attaches to the place from business point of view. The tracks have been re-balasted with broken stone for a distance of several hundred yards, the steel bridge over the creek has been overhauled, and new flooring put in, and today the concrete foundation for the new station east of the track was begun. Judge Parker allows nothing unimport- ant to interfere with his morning swim, and bright and early he was in the Hud- son. The early trip of the steamer Mary Powell sometimes brings her past the Rosemount wharf just as he is taking bis swim, and the passengers try to see the candidate at his diving, in which he is an expert. but he always retires to the boat house until the steamer is gone
 Effects of Visitation.
 Rosemont today showed the effects of the NlSlIallO1 or lDe AlLB5loI tfiSpthioiss whose 1000 pairs of feet seriously tram pied the lawn and dug up the walks, but the judges gardener soon set things right. 4
 Judge Parker was unusually early in starting for his horseback ride, going away before he had read his mail He glanced over the New York papers at breakfast, but had not seen MT. Bryan's last statement relative to the democratic platform when he was asked about it as he was starting for his ride.
 Judge Parker received letter today from General Nelson A. Miles The en- tire leiter is in General Miles handwrit- ing, and is as follows:
 "St. Louis, July 10. Hon. A. B. Parker. Esopus. N. r.:
 Dear Sir-Safety for the good ship of state is of the first importance. ssAt a time when a material crisis is pending, when democratic institutions are in peril, when great evils should be readjusted; ; when important political questions must be decided, 1t is fortunates that the dem- ocratc party has given to the country a candidate for President in whom that great council of representative men have every confidence and we have the best of reasons for believing that con- fidence will be confirmed by the intelli-
 
 Can Render Great Service.
 we do all know that the instincts and training of the judge are to hold in sacred regard the constitution and truthful in- Depreciation and execution of laws. Hence we believe that under your administration it's law will be adopted with fidelity and integrity. l believe you will be elected and thereby have an opportunity of rendering our country a service of imneasurable value that will rebound to the honor of the democratic party and the glory of the re- public.
 'I have the honor to remain, very truly yours, NELSON A MILES.
 Among the other letters received to- day was one from Congressman John Lamb of the Third district of Virginia. Many of the writers nowadays are writ ing in poetry to the judge, some of it very good; most of it quite otherwise
 Calls Down the Photographers.
 Judge Parker drew the line on the photographers today and announced that this would be the last day of promiscuous photographing of him and his family.
 q reserve the right" he said, laughing ly Ito put my hands in my pockets and assume comfortable attitudes without be- ing everlastlngly afraid that l shall be snapped hy some fellow with a camera"
 Esopus has been fairly overrun with photographers who have haunted the iudge's footsteps and have photographed rot only himself but everybody and ev- erything remotely connected with him or his daily life. Today a series of group pictures were taken of him and his fam fly, picturesouey grouped on the lawn near the house.
 Judge Parker received the following telegram from United States Senator John Daniel dated Lynchburg, Va.
 Our people are gratified that united democracy has a leader who leads and I tender my respects and congratulate tions."
