BOUGHT FARM, GOT CEMETERY
After Paying 65 900 Purchase Discoy-
ers 1000 Negro Graves.

President F. A. Stratton, of the
Westchester Lighting Company, who
recently paid $4,000 for a farm on the
WilmOt road, in Tipped New Rochelle,
has made the discovery that he is the
possessor of a negro cemetery contain
ing 1900 graves. The cemetery lies in
the center of the farm, and was estab-
lished 20 years ago by an old Hugenot
named John Souice, who used to bury
his slaves there. For years the color
ed residents of New Rochelle, East
chester and Mamaroneck, both rich and
poor, have buried their dead there.
The last funeral there took place one
week ago, when a white woman, Who
had a negro husband, was laid to rest
in the old graveyard.
Graves in the cemetery were for
many years free. but about 30 years
ago the place fell into the hands of a
man who, fearing the negroes might
claim the right of way to the cemetery.
made them pay 81 for each funeral
which passed through the farm.
The negroes of New Rochelle are
very much excited, because they have
heard that Stratton intends to build a
large country mansion en- the place,
which will mean that the cemetery will
be wiped out and the gravestones
razed.-New Rochelle (Md.) Dispatch.

In view of the contradictory reports
floating about III the newspapers it
would be interesting TO know who Is
paying the expenses Of the peace en-
recalled that q day or two ago the Rus
slams complained of their accommo-
dations at the hotel. That gave rise
10 a story that the expenses of both
the Russians and the japanese were
being paid by q private estate IL
seems the hotel is owned by an estate.
and the inference was that the hotel

dants free entertainment for the ad-
vertisement there was in ii.
According TO a New York dispatch
Gov. McLane. OF New Hampshire, Is
authority for the statement that the
ENJOYS end their attendants are the
guests of the State of New Hampshire.
but there being no fund in the State
treasury TO meet the hotel bills a half
dozen or more public-spirited gentle
men came forward with the necessary
money. The State, when the legisla-
ture meets, will reimburse them, il
it sees fit TO do so, but, if it doesn'>,
there will be no kicking.
Until this publication it was doubt
less the very general impression that
the Russians and Japanese were pay
ing their own hotel bills. A cablegram
was published 2 few days ago in which
it was said hat each of the ENJOYS
was allowed 5000 a day for that pur-
pose.
The President of curse suggested
that the peace ENJOYS meet in this
country, but did that suggestion carry
with it the obligation to pay all the ex-
penses of the conference from the time
Of the coming of the ENJOYS until their
departure? If so, the President ought
TO have seen to hat matter, so that
there wouldn't have been any gossip
about it.
The government brought the ENJOYS
Observation-Disclosures them in fact-and
sent them to Portsmouth. Not only
that, but it provided a handsomely fur
nished place of meeting. If entertain
ment was also to be provided then
there has been mismanagement some
where Or else there is no foundation
for the gossip in the newspapers. The
ENJOYS would feel greatly annoyed il
they should hear that there was a ques-
ton about the payment of their hotel
bills. Perhaps it was because they
thought they were paying their own
bills that they felt free to complain Oh
the kind of entertainment they were
receiving. They would hardly nave
complained if they knew they were

The next time President Roosevelt
asks a peace conference to hold it's
meetings in this country he will nd
doubt see to it that the sittings arc
not held during his vacation period.
This has been about the busiest hoIi-
day any president of this country has
ever had. We suppose, though, Mr..
Roosevelt has thoroughly enjoyed the
Importance of the affair which has
fallen to his share. There is only one
thing that has acted as a drawback to
his pleasure in managing the peace
negotiations, and that is that he can
not be present at the meetings of the
peace ENJOYS and take part in the dis
c%ussions. Can cur readers imagine any
thing that would please Mr.. Roosevelt
better than to take part in the discus
sions over the demands Japan has laid
before the commission He would
make some striking arguments and set
forth some startling propositions were
he allowed to take part in the pro-
ceedings.

jim CASEY ON
lRELAND'S SOIL

Jim Casey. who calls himself a
fighter, and who was in Honolulu about
eighteen months ago, has been heard
from, and the news comes all the way
from Ireland.
Casey drifted to Manila with the
volunteers, and in his spare moments
of soldering nursed the idea that he
was born to attain distinction in the
roped arena.
He was certainly strong and big
enough, standing TT. in. and tipping
the scale at considerably over the 200
pound mark.
While serving his enlistment he had
a bout or two in camp and when he
was mustered out he went prospect
ing in the islands and managed to
accumulate quite a little stake.
The fight bee began buzzing in his
bonnet, however and after fight or
two in Manila and Shanghai with
varying results, he sailed from the lat
ter port one fine day for Honolulu with
the intention of hooking up with what
ever pugilistic expert of his size and
weight NC I'D" oi'
He was unable to make connections
here however, and went on to san
Francisco where the papers took him
I'D, with the result that he got a job
as sparring partner with Bob Fitzsim-
mons, who was training for a fight at
the time.
There was quite Casey boom for
time, and the Irishman was matched
with Sam Berger, who defeated him
in a twinkling. Casey failing to show
speed, science, or any other attribute
of a successful boxer,
Then Casey disappeared from the ken
of the sporting public, and it was not
until the last mail that a friend of
his in Honolulu received news that he
had been donning the mitts in Ireland.
Tt appears that Jim drifted to Dub
lin in search of fights, and was there
matched to fight with Charles Wilson,
a local heavyweight. The contest took
place in a music hall, and Wilson
knocked out Casey in the third round
with a right-hand swing to the jaw.
The men battled for a purse of $1,000
and a side bet amounting to $3.50.
As f1igh-class talent in the heavy
weight line is scarce on the other side
of the water, Casey presumably
for him to operate.
The game apparently wasn't as easy
as it looked, and it's probably husky
Casey for the longShoreman'S stunt in
the future.

Aside from his serious illness, mis-

that Emmons accepted bribe
money, he cannot use it because it is
marked and he has no other funds to
pay hospital, doctors and hotel bills.
His fellow senators are lining up with
