PLACES OF INTEREST IN NEW YORK.
A Visit to West Point, Irvington, iTarry-

tooxMuSrcArEp.


Miss Ruth Jones, whose parents reside on
Flagg farm. Hillen road. southeast of Towson,
is taking a summer course Of instruction at
Columbia University, New York. and at every
available opportunity is visiting in that State
places historical, romantic and picturesque. She
writes home on souvenir postal-Hudson River
at West Point: "Went up the Hudson TO West
Point yesterday it is the most beautiful place
have ever seen. Here sublime nature is deco
rated with magnificent art"
Of another trip she writes: ION Saturday
went on the Columbia University excursion to
Irvington. Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. The
weather was perfect. Went by train to Irving
ton, on the Hudson, there small buses and
carryalls were waiting for us- They took US first
to Sunnyside, which was Irvings home, you
remember. The place still belongs to the Irving
family, and 30 as not to be obtrusive only ten of
our party were allowed to enter the house at
one time. Only one room is open to visitors and
that is the library, where he Qrving) did literary
work. After viewing the house we
went across the grounds and drank water from
the old spring. Some of the men became impa
tient waiting for draught, as there was only
one dipper and many ladies to drink-lay down
on the ground and drank from the stream of
running water. Taking the conveyances again
we were carried along beautiful route to
Christ Church, in Tarrytown. where Irving used
to go. The old minister who had known and
preached to Irving addressed us.
There were about two hundred and twenty
in our party and when we entered the old Dutch
Church. where Katrina Van Tassel and Ickabod
Crane attended service. we quite filed it. It's
history is well known since 1897, and the old
pews are still there for occupants. In the vault
are sixteen tombs that are without marks of any
kind. To this vault there once were three en-
frances. One Is from the old Philpse Manor
house. The Philpse family are said to have
built the church.
From the church we went through Sleepy
Hollow and had our lunch on an old stone
bridgeway across wide stream. Here we went
down steep pathway and drank water from
the stream out of an improvised cup-an eDvel-
ope. Then, just after sunset, we sat on grassy
slope facing the woods and watched the purple
haze settle down amid the tree-tops, and listened
to Professor Andrews tell some of the best kind
of ghost stories. Then back to the carryalls and
the railroad station. The people of Tarrytown
turned out and gave us grand ovation"

In politics Mr.. Niles is an independent Demo-

to see another man get the place. The selec-
ton was personal one on the part of the

THE PEOPLE of Carroll county are up in arms
at the changes the Postoffice Department pro-
poses to make in their rural mail routes on
the LIST of August. Commenting upon this
action of the department the Westminster
Sentinel says: "Our information leads us to
the belief that number of persons heretofore
reached by the R. f. D. will be left out in the
new arrangement. The work of readjusting
the routes was done by officers unfamiliar
with the territory and some of the points
named on routes are unknown to nybody.
In some cases ancient names-long since out
of use-bave been revived and in others,
routes which the department intended should
avoid gates are so located as to make it neces-
sary for the carriers to pass through several
such obstacles to reach few patrons. 1t is
needless to say that some of the mostintelli-
gent citizens of the county are up in arms
against what appears to have been an unne-
cessary breaking up of conditions which had,
to large extent, become satisfactory to the
inhabitants thereof" Speaking Of this same
matter the Baltimore Sun says: at is said
that the local carriers are expected to go to
places and deal with names ofwhich the oldest
inhabitant never heard. This latter charge is
credible, as the Postofice Department is con-
stantly making an exhibition of its ignorance
of both history and geography. In the pub
lished lists of postofices, the compiler makes
ducks and brakes of historic names with which
any schoolboy of three or four years expert
ence is familiar. The only explanation which
the Carroll county people are able to give Of
this freak is that the department got hold of
some Anticipated map, drafted possibly by
Capt. John Smith in 1907, and used this as
their guide in laying down the routes.n

THE SUPREME court of France has finally an
nounced its decision annulling the condemna-
ton of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus and emitting him
to restoration to his rank in the army as
though be had never been accused. Thus the
man who, twelve years ago, was convicted by
secret 1court.martial of reasonable dealings
with Germany, was sentenced to dismissal from
the service, and who suffered solitary confine-
ment on DEVILS Island for five years. stands
forth before the world fully exonorated. Capt.
Dreyfus himself was not present when the
decision was announced, although his brother
and counsel and others interested were there.
He preferred to remain in his secluded apart
ment. The court holds that new facts have
been established, and that the accusation
against Dreyfus was completely upjustifed.
The captain is to be made major and pro-
posed for the Legion of Honor.
In 1860 an act was passed by the general
court in Massachusetts, prohibiting the wear
ing of short sleeves to the elbow Fall garments
being required to cover the arms to the wrists,
while knots of ribbon and other frivols were
absolutely forbidden. Women could wear
buckles on their shoes, but that was the only
ornament the old blue law permitted. Wo-
men have not changed much in two hundred
years, but the laws have.
A DEMOCRATIC paper at Norfolk, Va, says
that IF Mr.. Bryan's Commoner doesn't shut
up about free silver and the platform of '96,
folks will get the idea that the whole grave
yard of dead issues is to be galvanized into
stimulation of life to frighten the Democratic
children in 1905" A ghost dance for two
years is viewed with alarm by the long-headed
members of the party.
WHEN HE lived Russell Sage thought 20 cent
dinners and shoes that cost 50 pair were
plenty good enough for him, but when he was
buried he had to be put in a steel cage that
cost $50, 900. This looks like useless waste
of money-as much out of place as the old
miser's penuriousness.

RUSSELL SAGE. the millionaire miser of New
York, whose income is said 10 have been So
600 day. died suddenly on Sunday last, at his
summer home at Lawrence, L. l., aged 81
years. He made his money in Wall street and
by ''pinching' those to whom he made loans
to tide them over financial difficulties. Mr..
Sage was twice married and his second wife
who inherits the bulk of his immense fortune
survives him. He left no children. Sage
lived misery life and appeared to have no
enjoyment in anything except the piling up of
money. It is said of him that he wore the
same hat and overcoat for twenty years and
that he never paid over two dollars for pair
of shoes. He commenced his business career
as boy in grocery store at "a month. The
newspapers estimate the Sage fortune at near
lv 800 600 600.
