Another Oner for the Purchase OF Fire
Island.

ALBANY, June 2s.-When the State Land
Board met to-day another offer was re-
ceived from a person desiring to purchase

very low 1t was refused. The communica-
ton was from S. S. Simmons, who gave his
address as l2e Eagle street, this city. He
said he would give the State $s7, 800 for the
property, which cost Gov. Flower $4,000

needed as a quarantine station to aid in
keeping the dreaded cholera out Of the

Charles Hoffman q Co, undertakes, of
Hoboken, are at odds with tn Coach Own
ers' Association Of that city, and yesterday
morning when the funeral Of Mrs. Christian
Rooney was scheduled to start from the
Church Of Dur Lady Of Grace, in Willow
avenue, the owners and drivers of all the
coaches except two belonging to Hoffman
d Co. declared that they would not drive
to the cemetery unless the two got out Of
the procession. The drivers OF the OBJ
~iectionable coaches were called scabs, but
they showed union cards and buttons.
This, however, had no effect on the other
drivers.
The squabble held up the funeral three
hours. Finally the driver OF the hearse,
impressed by the appeals of the mourners,
except Hoffman 4 Co.'S followed. It is
said the latter got to the cemetery before

Britons as Beef Eater.

A recent publication by the depart
ment of agricultuges hows that Great
Britain imports more meat animals
and packing house products than all the
ether countries Of Europe combined.
The value Of such British imports for
1904 was S3,OOO,0OO. Nearly all the
live meat animals imported in Great
Britain comes from the United States
and Canada. The British fresh beef
trade seems to be drifting away from
the United States. Five years ago 76
per Osnt. was supplied from this coun.
try; two per cent. from Argentina and
% per cent, from other countries. In
1904 IS per cent. came from the Unit
ed States, 80 per cent. from Argentina
and six per cent. from other countries.
Argentina, with population no larger
than Pennsylvania, Is fast establishing
an important rivalry with the United
States in furnishing 10 our most inn

Percival described II, "a lovely sutop-
sy."
At last the vexatious work was nm
ished, and he was free again. At the
end Of the final days work he left the
ONCE of FOuts in Wall street. and
walked up Broadway. He went slow
ly, enjoying the freedom from care.
It was the afternoon of a day when the
FIRST summer heat had been felt, and
as he loitered before shop windows OF
walked slowly through that street
where all move quickly and most very
hurriedly, a welcome little breeze came
up from the bay to fan him and en-
encourage his spirit Of leisure.
At Union square, when he would
have taken a car to go the remainder
OF the distance, he saw Shepler, ac-
companied by Mrs. Van Geist and Miss
Milbrey, alight from a victoria and
enter jewelers..
He would have passed on, but Hiss
Milbrey had seen him and stood wait
ing In the doorway, while Shepler and
Mrs. Van Geist went on into the store.
Mr. Bines-I'm so glad!"
She stood, flushed with pleasure,
radiant in stun of fllmy pink, with lit
tie flecks at her throat and waist OF
the first tender green of new leaves.
She was unaneetedly delighted to see
him.
You are Miss Spring." he said
when she had given him her hand
land you've come into all your mother
had that was worth inheriting, haven't
your"
"Mr. Bines, shall we not see you
now? l wanted so much to talk with
you when heard everything. Would
1t be impertinent to say sympathized
with your"
He looked over her shoulder In
where Shepler and Mrs. Van Geist
were inspecting a tray of jewels.
"Of course not impertinent-very
kind-only I'm really not in need Of
any sympathy at all. You won't I'M
derstand 1t; but we don't care so much
for money in the west-for the loss Of
it-not so much as you New Workers
would. Besides, we can always make
plenty more"
The situation was, emphatlcally, not
as he had so often dreamed it when
she should marvel, perhaps regretful-
ly, over his superiority to her husband
as a money-maker. His only relief
was to belittle the importance of his
loss.

The best time to ship these elk to the
AdirOndacks and liberate them is early
in May. They will not need any feeding
or care after liberation, and will be am
ply able to shift for themselves in the
wild state, as they have always lived
wild in the forest. The elk which have
been liberated in the Adirondacks dur
ing the last five years have done well,
and the state forest, fish and game COM
