SELL HISTORIC HOUSE.
Action to Foreclosc on n Place Where
 President Tyler Lived.


 President Tyler Lived.
 New York Tribune.
 Action has been brought by William M. Evarts against Mrs. Margaret J. Cornell and J. B. Mayer to foreclose a mortgage on the old Tyler property, in Glove Road and Broadway, West New Brighton, Staten Island, at one time the home of President John Ty- Ter.
 The property in 1885 was bought by Mrs Eliza Racey, of New York, who in 1887 built the house known as the Ty- Ter mansion. When Mrs. Racey died the property was sold to Charles P. and William H. Racey. and subse- quently to Mrs. Juliana Gardiner, mother of Mrs. Julia Gardiner Tyler, wife of President John Tyler. Mrs. Gardiner willed the property to Mrs. Tyler. Her brother, John l.. Gardiner, contested the will, but in 1868 sold his interest to Mrs. Tyler. The cost Of contesting the will had so depleted Mrs. Tyler's resources that in 1878 the place was sold to William M. Evarts. relative of Mrs. Tyler. Mrs. Tyler and her family soon moved away, and the house became the home of the Rus sian Consul General. In 1897 the property was purchased by Otto Ahl- man, cashier of the Bank of Staten Island, who committed suicide on De- cember 31. 1903 and who was subse- quently found to be a defaulter of $200, 900.
 At the time of the purchase of tho property Ahlman was involved in H. nancial difficulties and asked Mrs. Cor nell to take title to the property. which she did Later Mrs. Cornell offered to buy the property outright, and all though she paid more than one-half of the purchase price, she may now lose all that she paid. The receiver of the bank is made party to the suit, to cover any legal entanglement that may arise in the courts. The defend- ants, Mrs. Cornell and Receiver Mayer, will contest the appointment of a ref cree to sell the property. since If the property Is sold under a foreclosure they will be wiped out and any equity either has in the property will be lost.

drink of water came near being the cause of w. L. Chambless, a gateman at the union railway station losing his life last night about 7:30 o'clock.
 The water was not poisonous nor was there any thing about 1t that would be calculated to cause danger of life still the thirst of Mir. Chambless came near ending his life.
 After the rush of the incoming trains was through last night. the gateman walked from his post to a hydrant near the baggage room. Near the hydrant Is track used principally for switch ing purposes and as MT. Chambless stood leaning in front of the hydrant. a switch engine came steaming along the track So engrossed was the gateman in drinking that he did not hear the approaching engine.
 The engine was going slowly but 1t struck Mir Chambless with considerable force. He was thrown violently to the ground and was unconscious for some seconds. It was thought at first that he was dead. A surgeon was summon ed but before he arrived consciousness had been regained. The injuries were inSiRnihSant

Then his great self-sacrificiug love arose again and swept away his grief for the moment. and he laughed at both their fears-yes, laughed over his leaden heart.

 Tony disappeared for some weeks directly after this and it has since ap- peared, devoted much time and dis played no small skill in ascer.aining accurately the character, reputation, habits and antecedents of the man to whom he was to lose his Sophie The investigation evidently proved satisfac- tory, for the wedding came or m due season.

REDUCTION OF ACREAGE.
Reports from Montgomery Growers or
 June 10.


 Complete reports of the amount of re- duction in acreage in cotton and use of commercial fertilizers will be made at the regular monthly meeting of the Montgomery County Cotton Growers Association, which has been called by President w. H. Vaughn for Il o'clock Saturday, June 10.
 At the last regular meeting reports from several of the beat committees were made. but 1t is expected that rep resentatives of every beat organization will make definite report of how well they have succeeded in their efforts to reduce cotton acreage.
 President Vaughn expects. figuring on previous reports. that the average reduction in acreage and use of fertiliz- CTS throughout the county will be about k12 per cent. The effect of the recent heavy rains will probably cause a na~ tural reduction.
 Other matters of importance to cot ton growers will be discussed at the meeting, and President W. H. Seymour of the State organization, who IS al present in New Orleans attending the meeting of the State Presidents, will address the planters on the work In | this and other Southern States.

MEN, NOT SHIPS
WON JAPANESE VICTORY, SAYS
 ROBSON.
Merrlmac Hero Says the Best Vessels Are inefficient Unless CapabIy
 Handled In Rattle.

Richmond P Hobson. in New York
 American.
 Saranac Inn Station, N. Y, May 2e.- While the later advices concerning the recent naval battle in the Orient leave many Russian vessels unaccounted for tory for the Japanese. The striking disproportion in losses indicates a great difference in the personnel of the two fleets, agrees to the conditions in the Sanish- American war and furnish es another object lesson to the world that good ships, even the best, are of little avail without efficient handling. When 1t is recalled that the Russians had a long period for preparation, the inference is that they are inherently inapt upon the sea, and the experience of past history is repeated.
 iDominion on the sea can only abide with seafaring people. The goodly proportion of captures indicate marked Advantage arising from the higher speed of the Japanese vessels, and the number of captures will doubtless grow as returns come in rom the chase of the Russian vessels that sur vive the battle.
 These will add trophies to the cause of the armored cruisers as compared with the battleships. but care should be taken not to exaggerate, for the preponderance in armored cruisers was on the side of the efficient personnel and the preponderance of the Russian battle ships was in unsqilied hands.
 The strategic effect of this latest Jep- anese victory will be to place the un- disputed control of the sea in the hands of the Japanese, without the interfer- ence of outside powers. Japan will be able to operate freely on the main land. and judging fro mthe past will be able to take Vladivostok and gain complete control of Manchuria-
 It is not unlikely that Russia may make overtures for peace and endeavor to bring about the permanent occupa- tion of Manchuria by the Japanese. Such occupation would alienate Amer lea and probably Great Britain and bring about a serious, situation for the world.
 The "YeIIow Peril" Cry.
 It is clearly only the moral effect of the attitude of Great Britain and America that restraints Continental Eu- rope from joining with Russia and finally dismembering the Chinese Em- pire The whole policy of these na- tions has been to put Japan in the light of menace and peril to the white nations, and if Japan should hold Manchuria they would attain their purpose, pretending that the Chinese were about to arise with the Japanese, and combined action would follow, af- fording the coveted opportunity for the powers to occupy and dismember China. Such an effort doubtless would set the world on fire.
 Thus Japan holds great responsibil- ity, and her actions will be watched with keen interest. It Is to be hoped that she will continue to show, after this sweeping victory. the same calm boise, moderation and astuteness, that has characterized her conduct from the beginning of the war

consisting of two puffs and deep
frill. For really summary appearance
we prefer less fussy design.
At the moment the shops are selling
batiste and other thin patterns at
prices much reduced, and now is good
time to buy and make ones summer
negligee. Until the hot weather is
really upon us we do not seem to know
what is the best way to make the sum-
mer costumes. All fashions are settled
by now; we have had full opportunity
to see what is worn.
To turn from house dresses. A love-
ly travelling dress recently brought to
our notice consisted of Russian-b blue
poplin, waist of pongee in the same
shade. 1t was all so cool and comfort
able locking, and suit that would
so easily shed dust. 1t seemed just the
thing for summer travel.
There il nothing smarter for coun-
try wear this summer in the way OF
shirt-waist suits than the ones made
of calico Their first cost is slight
but the laundry bills! For the girl
that wants to look on at athletic sports
but take no part herself, the white
serge suit is a favorite. White linen
is craze this year, some girls are
aiming to appear in it the summer
through; a tailor suit of moderate
weight for day time. the thinnest of
handkerchief linen for evenings. Lin
ems are declared to be in fashion for
| all occasions save travelling.
Slowly we are learning to appreciate
the little cape wraps of silk and other
| lightweight materials. Sometimes lace
is used for the cape, sometimes linen is
employed, again thin cloth. They are
so convenient to throw on of sum-
mer evening, and really are more be-
coming than the boa of such long SER
vice. OF shot silk they suggest We old
en- days, and are as picturesque and be-
coming as the old-fashioned fripperies
worn by our grandmothers.
Gilt belts are worn, and, when good,
are quite expensive. Narrower belts
are promised, and it is more than prob
able this fall we shall have the prin-
cess effect, the waist fitting over the
skirt without the use of a bodice or
belt of any sort.
