The railroad rate bill one OF the
most important measures before
Congress, is now having It's day III
the senate, with senators Bailey
and Tillman guarding zcalously
the public interests. They are de-
termined, if it be- possible. that II"
make believe rate bill shall be
enacted. In speech on the legal
questions involved in the measure,
Mr. Bailey last Monday contended
that a rate fixed 10y the Interstate
Commission shall stand until con.
demned by the final Judgment OF
the court upon a full investigation
OF the case; that it wonld be equiv.
alent to nothing if rates, when
fixed by the commission, can be
set aside by Il temporary injunction
of the courts. Senators, YOU had
better be candid with the people, y
said Mr.. Bailey; if, when they
ask for bread you intend to give
them a stone, be brave and honest
with them and refuse to give them
anything. Give them what they
want or give them nothing, aud
let us appeal to the great jury of
American citizens to try this case
again.

If the sentiment and contention
of Attorney General Moody in
Chicago last Monday in tie trial of
the indicted Beef Trust people is
adhered to and carried ont. they
would vindicate the efficiency of
the present = law against trust
monopoly. GThe criminal clause of
the law would effectually deter the
predatory lawlessness of the big
monopolies if properly and vigor-
ously enforced as it should be by
the government. 1t is an unusual

WASHINGTON
THE HISTORY OF NETTLETON HOLLOW
 BY MRS CHARLES HOLLISTER.

Lieut. John Hollister came to Amer. ica in 1642. His grandson, Gideon, was resident of Stratford. In l725 he was drowned in the Bridgeport harbOr; he left wife and one daugh- ter. After the birth of her son, Gideon, who afterward became Capt Gideon, the widow moved to Wood bury where her relatives lived.
 The valley to the north was natur- al road for the pioneers to travel so about 1750 Capt Gideon with his wife migrated. He was carpenter as we'll as farmer, so he built himself house on the hill west of Nettleton Hollow. Later he built another house and had still another built for him. He ap- pears to have been one of the first to settle in that district and took his vast tract of land direct from the Indians who gave him a title deed of it. About 1775 he built house for his son in the hollow and about the same time Daniel Nettleton, ST., came to live in the hollow also, so that it is at this time that the true history of Kettle ton Hollow begins.
 The first building that we find in Washington as we come from Wood- bury is barn. This was originally a house. The first I can learn of it is that it was owned and used by Benja

 During the last few days the New York Betting & Packing company has had architects looking over the ground surrounding it's plant ln Dundee, with an eye to future growth. With an in- crease of business equal to that of the last year, it will be necessary to add to the floor space of the mill, and, being undecided how to go about tue matter, the mill authorities asked the opinions of several architects of this city and other places. As yet they have re- ceived no reports from the designers but the gist of what they suggest will probably determine what course the concern will pursue. At present the rubber company can manage it's affairs satisfactorily in the space 1t occupies. The business is continually growing, however, and in order to be prepared for an addition which will have to be made in the future, the officials are | considering what they have on hand. It is understood that the old rubt CT mill in Passaic street, close by the Dundee canal, was the object of the constructors scrutiny. and that they think favorably of building additions at both sides of the structure and making the whole four-story mill of large depth and breadth.

house that formerly stood there was owned by the Riggs family. MT Riggs had blacksmith shop down at the corner of the roads. There he shod OK en and horses, making his own horse shoes and also the nails. The hollow road was the turnpike from Cornwall to New Haven. All the produce was carried by teams to the New Haven markets and that made this much travelled road. One of the sons, Amos Riggs, married Ruth Pond, sister of the missionaries to the Indians: They followed the missionaries to Minneso- ta, where their descendants live. The Riggs sold the place to the Hollisters and George Hollister, with his family, have lived there ever since. In 1873 George Hollister built new house and they moved in on Christmas eve of that year. Later the house was added to to accommodate the families of George and his son, Edwin.

 OBITUARY.
JAMES W. PARTRIDG E.


 James w. Partridge, a highly es- teemed resident of the Berkshire dis trict, died on Friday, after an illness of a weeks duration. MT Partridge had been employed by s. Curtis & Son for 29 years and was faithful worker. He was a man of real solid worth, quiet in his manner but possessing qualities that won him respect in the community. He was member of Hiram lodge, No. IS, F. & A. M. The funeral took place on Monday after- noon, Rev O. o. Wright officiating. The burial was in the Berkshire cem- etery. The services at the grave were in charge of Hiram lodge, being most effectively rendered by Louis T. Bris- COG, a past master of the lodge. MT Partridge is survived by his wife and six children, Mrs Alice Curtis of MOn- roe, Jobn, Arthur, Herbert and Ernest Partridge and Miss Ethel Partridge. MT Partridge's age was 72 years. Mrs James Partridge and family wish | through the columns of THE BEE to express their heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighoors and to the mem- bers of Hiram lodge, No. IS, of Sandy Hook, for their sympathy and great kindness shown them during the ill., ness and death of their beloved hus- band and father.

which the whole family lived. Some of these freplaces were large enough so the back log was drawn in by a horse. In the fireplace was a crane that would swing over the fire or out over the cOalS on the hearth. On this crane the brass kettles and iron pots were hung by means of heavy iron hooks. and the food was cooked in this way. They also had frying pans on legs; the coals were drawn to the front of the ii re and the frying pans were set in the coals and meats were cooked in them. A later frying pan had longer legs on the side towards the fire, with a groove running back towards the handle where there was trough to hold the from the meat. They also had tin ovens after time; these were like sled on legs and they were set with the open side close to the fire.
