dictionary Merchant, Gone.

New York was revealed today at the
funeral of Miss Sarah Nissan Tired
we'll, daughter of Seabury Tredwell
and Elizabeth E. Tredwel. at "the
family residence" No. 29 East
Fourth street. For seventy years
three daughters of the merchant of
revolutionary days have lived in the
quaint old dwelling to which they
moved when New York ended to the
north Of Fifteenth street. They had
clung to the family residence, al
though they were related to the Van
derbllts and had seen the neighbor-
hood change from a most exclusive
residential district to the seat OF the
feather and hat industry. 1t was a
matter of common talk that the three
sisters were the wealthiest residents
of the district. Indeed. It Is re-
puted that Miss Tredwell, who died,
was herself the owner of $6,O00.000
worth of realty in Manhattan, be-
sides having held with her sisters
great tracts of very valuable land in
the vicinity of Rye, Flushing, Man
hasset and Roslyn. She was IL
years old.

From Voters.

plicants for Registration 10 Re-
port Cases.
NO RECEIPTS ARE NECESSARY

II has been stated that an effort
will be made by certain designing
persons, who are trying to manipu-
late the coming election TO make the
ignorant voter believe that he is re-
CURED to pay poll tax before he
can obtain his registration certifi-
cate or cast his vote in the election.
II such a thing Is attempted, it is
known as fraud in the election, and
II the persons who are imposed upon
by such statement will report the
same to the Republican headquarters,
such cases will be looked after.
BY an act approved February IL.
1904 the legislature passed an act
amending section 1883 of the Ken
lucky statutes, which reads as fol-
lows: "The officers of registration
shall issue a certificate of registra-
ton to each voter registering at the
time he. registered. showing that he
has registered. and the date of his
registry, and no person, who is re-
quired to register under the provis-
ions of this act, shall have the right
TO vote at any election held in this
commonwealth until he shall have
presented TO the election officers his
certificate of registration"
The penalty for intimidating a
voter fixed by section 1885 is as fol-
lows:
ANY person or persons, who
shall unlawfully prevent any voter
from casting his ballot, or shall in
timidate or attempt to intimidate
any voter so as to prevent him
from casting his ballot shall be
deemed guilty of felony. and upon
conviction, be confined In the peni-
Tertiary for a period not less than
one nor more than five years for
each offense. The fact that the Of
fender may be an officer of the fed
eral, state or any district, county.

son from the above penalty"
