Big Order of Trees.
TURNS DOWN THE ORDER
Manager OF Quaker Nursery Could Not

of the Week.
TURNS DOWN THE ORDER

TRENTON, n. J., April 26.-Even a
man with the millions of Howard Gould
cannot offer any inducement for William
H. Moon, manager of a nursery In this
city, to break its rule of doing no bust
ness on Sunday. This was shown when
the wealthy New Yorker came here with
his wife to give a big order for trees
and shrubbery for their estate, Castle
Gould, Long Island.
They arrived In Trenton Saturday
evening in big touring auto. and, the
hour being too late for business, put up
at Hotel Sterling until the following
morning Arising early. they ordered
their auto and crossed the river to the
place where the Moon nurseries are
located The couple were not recognized
by caretakers of the place, but were
finally admitted to the grounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gould spent several hours
picking out what they desired in the
way of trees and shrubbery and then
signified their desire to place an order.
Not on Sunday.
Cant do it today, said the foreman
in charge. I'VE have never sold a plant
on Sunday since the opening of the es-
Enlistment. 1t would be strictly
against the rules of the company to do
so"
Mr.. Gould took the 7rebuff good ma
turedly ana departed. promising that a
mail order on a week day should follow
their return to New York.
Mr.. Moon is one of the best known
Quakers in this vicinity Speaking Of
the action of his foreman, he said laugh
ingly:
Well, the man did just exactly what
ne should have done. 1t is Il rule of the
company not TO do business on First
Day and always has been and always

Mr.. Gold and have done considerable

ness. We have never lost business by

Gh0uLS Rob the Tomb
OF Livingston Family
Vault Sealed for Fifty Years Opened---Wifes
Bones Missing, Casket of General Bro
ken, and His Remains Scattered.

HUDSON, n. Y, April 26.-The family
vault Of the late Gen. Harry Livingston
on the old manor place, six miles south
of the city of Hudson. and about five
miles from the Hudson River, has been
entered and the body OF Mrs. Mary
Livingston. better known as Lady
Mary removed. The remains of the
late General Livingston were scattered
over the tomb.
General Livingston and his people
were among the most prominent in
eastern New York during the first half
of the last century and the last half
OF the previous century. The manor
was freQuented by many notable men
in Revolutionary times and in the fifty
following years.
In 1903 General Livingston built a
mortuary vault on the premises north
erly from the mansion and down near
the lake. where the lotus flowers now
grow. for the last resting place for his
remains and the remains OF his family.
After his death his wife. Lady Mary"
lived for many years and was generally
respected and loved by her tenants and
the people in the vicinity.
Vault Key Thrown way.
Mrs Livingston died about fifty years
ago. and directed that her body should
be placed in the vault with her hus-
bands remains, that the vault door
should be locked. the key thrown into
the middle Of the lake and that the ap-
proaeh to the vault door be closed up
with masonry, all of which is said TO
have been properly done

GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED

BOSTON, Mass, April 26.-That seem
lngly hopeless task of constructing on
the shifting sands of the Diamond
Shoals aNlighthouse capable of resisting
the storms and seas which beat about
that turbulent region is once more to
be essayed.
Curiously enough, it is not the Ma
tional Government, but a private indl-
viGual who is to undertake this gigantic
piece of work.
The Government made several extcn-
sive and costly efforts TO place a light
house on the shoal. When the last
structure was wrecked before il had
Leer half completed, the Government
abandoned the task as hopeless and
turned its attention to lightshipss con-
structing one of extraordinary strength.
Meored or the sioal with tackle puis-
SAINT enough to hold feet of battle
ships, on several occasions the anchor
age has proved unequal to the strain
imposed by Hatteras gales and heavinG
seas.
Lighthouse Badly Needed.
That permanent lighthouse to warn
n ariners from the shoal is badly needed
the Lighthouse Board well knows.
Capt. Albert F. Eells. of this city,
knows it too. The Government having
Abandoned the idea of constructing one.
H.. has agreed to undertake the task
himself.
His proposition. which has been ac-
cepted. is TO build a lighthouse on the
ghoal at his own expense and also con-
duct il at his own expense for one year

expiration Of that period the Govern

by the family of James c. Bell, who
died on the estate several years ago.
The Bells spend their summers on the
estate and go South in the winter and
have not yet returned
During all this time the last resting
place Of the former owner has been duly
respected by the successive owners ana
by others until this dissertation.
1t has just been learned, however. that
entrance has been effected TO the vault
by removing the masonry from the door,
and there now remains but General Liv-
ingston's leaden casket in the vault, and
into the top of that a hole has been
cut and torn about thirty inches long by
twelve inches wide.
Bones Scattered About.
Part of the contents of the leaden cas-
ket has been removed, some Of the re-
mains Of the winding sheet have been
pulled through the hole and hang down
over the side of the casket. The gen.
erals skull and jawbone, severed, lay on
the floor of the vault in the foreground
and other bones are strewn around. The
entrance TO the vault is now closed up
with loose stones piled up singly, just
barely sufficient TO keep out wild ami
mails.
Appearances indicate that the ghouls
were in search of jewelry which was
supposed to have been buried with the
body of Lady Mary" but what dis
position has been made of the other
casket and its contents remains a mys-
terry.
The crime has probably been Perpe-
trated by some person or persons who
have not long known of the history and
whereabouts OF the vault. And II seems
doubtful whether they will be appre-
hended. although a search Is being made
for the missing casket of Mrs. Living
ston, which, Il is believed, may be re-
covered.
