Tradition Of an Old English Abbey.
Story, Too, Of Jack Horner's Pie.
From the London Chronicle
Glastonbury Abbey is additionally con-
nected with one Of our nursery rhymes
The abbey was famous for its great kitchen,
and when Henry VIII was spelling the mon
asteries the abbot of Glastonbury, Richard
Whiting. is said to have sent little pres
ent in the shape of pie in the hope of sat-
isfying his rapacity.
The pie contained the title deeds Of seven
or eight little estates. and was sent to Lon
don in charge of one John Horner who
could not resist the temptation of adding
to his income. He put in his thumb and
pulled out a plum in the shape OF one Of
the deeds. The present did not save either
the abbey or the abbot. Glastonbury,
with its rich revenues. was confiscated and
Richard Whiting was hanged. drawn and
qucrtered, and the portions Of his body be-
slowed on the neighboring towns.
Not least among Glastonbury's curiosi-
ties Is its famous white thorn which bios
SONS twice year. in the spring and again
at Christmas. Tradition declares that the
tree, which stands in the abbey grounds
Is descended from Joseph Of Arimathaea's
staff, which burst into leaf and flower when
planted in the earth by the saint on his
arrival at Glastonbury on Christmas day
That original tree was cut down by IA
matte reformers in the time Of Elizabeth
but its descendants still flourish about
Glastonbury, and at Christmas still burst
into the same blossom with which they are
now white. In his possession this writer
has sprigs Of many which he gathered
from the Glastonbury thorn in Christmas
week a year or two ago. A considerable
trade is done by Glastonbury in the sale
and export Of cuttings of it's famous white
thorn to all parts Of the world.

GRADE DAMAGE COMMISSION.
Members Consider Claims of Owners of
Real Estate,


The union station grade damage commits
sion. composed of Charles A. Baker, George
w. Moss and George Spransy. met at the
city hall today and considered the claims
for grade damages filed by the owners of
certain real estate on the west side of Sd
street between G and H streets. and the
west side Of Sd street between l. and M
streets northeast.
The commission personally examined the
property of the claimants yesterday after
noon.
The change made in the grade of Sd street
between L and NJ streets is very slight.
while there has been no change of the
grade of Sd street between G and H streets
Arthur Armstrong. the owner of house ZIG
Sd street. and Theodore Livings, the owner
of premises 720 I'd street, between G and H
streets filed petitions with the commission
against the Terminal Depot Company the

grounds. erection of high walls making
nils, and lowering and carrying of,H and
K streets through underground tunnels I'M
der said depot, which will be and are Turk
ing places for highwaymen and criminals
1t was further asserted by the petitioners
that 1.-The construction of said depot, tun-
nels, walls, fills. vacations, distractions
and erectfons. cuts off the light, air and
view of said property, separates 1t from the
great business center of the city, causes af-
liant to walk square out of his way to
get west to the corner Of 9th and G streets,
and to walk through said damp. obstructed
dangerous and disagreeable tunnel on H
street. or to go many squares around and
out of his way over fills and high grades
to avoid the said tunnel: that on account
of closing so many streets and alleys by
said distractions, depot. fills and plaza
thereto, the travel through the said tun-
nels along X and H streets has become
greatly increased and congested. creating
great dust, dirt, slush and inconvenience
to travel, and great damage to their COM
plainant and his property. Therefore. in
claimant AYERS that he is damaged in the
sum of 81 ,OOO.''
MIR. Livings admitted before the commits
sion that the grade of Sd street had not
been changed in front of his property OF at
any point between G and II streets.
By tunnels the claimants mean the via
ducts that have been constructed near the
union station.
At the close Of the evidence for the prop
erty owners, A. Leftwich Sinclair special
counsel for the District. demurred to the
testimony of the claimants, insisting that
no damages should be awarded them by
the commission, because the commission is
not authorized by the law to consider dam
ages to property resulting from any other
cause than the change of the grade of a
street. The commission took the matter IN
der consideration. 1t is thought 1t will
make known its decision within the next
few days.

during which Attorney Richardson de-
clared that notwithstanding any order of

posed to pay off it's witnesses and send
them home as fast as they left the stand.
If the prosecution desired their presence
further, he declared, the state could issue
subpoenas and keep the witnesses at the

Still Searching for Bodies.

SEATTLE, May 23.-Up to a late
hour this afternoon the searching
parties had reported no success in the
endeavor to find the bodies of the
three victims of the canoeing acct
dent on Union bay last Sunday.
Details of college students spent
the entire day in dragging the lake
in the vicinity of the accident, but
the bodies were not located.
Hope of recovering the bodies of
the victims of the tragedy has been
about given up, although the search
will be maintained until there is alb
solutely no expectation of success
left.
1t is believed by the searchers that
the currents which exist at this point
of the lake have swept the bodies of
the victims of the accident consid-
cradle distance away from where the
canoe was upset, otherwise it is
thought that the remains would have
been recovered ere this.

Rainfall in Big Bend.

Saturday evening and on Sunday
a heavy downpour of rain visited
this valley, causing the roads to
stand in puddles of water every
where. Our ranchers report that the
rain wet the ground for a distance
of six Or seven inches and was the
greatest boon the country could re-
ceive coming as it did at this time
of the Year. Although the fall wheat
that was sown early last year and
had a good start did not require the
moisture so badly, the grain sown
this spring was IN need and this will
perhaps be the most benefited Sew
eral of our ranchers in different parts
of the country state that the fall
sown wheat is up about as high as
their knees, is thick on the ground
and is very healthy, and with the
recent rains, which covered the en-
tire valley, the outlook for bumper
wheat crop is first class. About
three times as much land is in wheat
this year as was in last year, and
it is estimated that the crop market
ed here this fall will reach nearly
the million bushel mark. According
to the quality of our wheat last year
which, in proportion to the amount
raised yielded the most N. 1 wheat
of any district in the Big Bend, this
year should see just as good quail
ity and proportionate quantity
