OF the Borough of Richmond and the demand
for one and two family houses in a section

Staten Island, from real estate point of view
was never so alluring. So they made haste to

Staten Island from the north shore to the south
shore. Staten Island has many natural charms,
with its long stretches of rolling land overlook
ing the waters of the Bay or the New Jersey
shore, and. besides. it Is of the most health
full sections of the city, according to some well
known physicians. who have made a careful
study OF the climatic and sanitary conditions OS
the island. A person who has lived on Staten
Island for many years said in a recent article
which he wrote for the especial benefit of per-
seeking homes on the island: ''In former
years before the swamps were drained ponds
filled and sewers laid, and while il was burial

more or less malaria Staten Island. What
ever may have been the condition OF the island
twenty years ago. there is no place on the globe
that is more healthful for all year round
home than that part of Staten Island lying be-
tween the foothills the east side and the foot
hills on the west side-and this includes all the
island, except a narrow strip of falkland on
either side. These fiatlands. where they are
drained either by natural watercOurses or by
artificial drainage. are equally healthful with
the uplands. IL is rare indeed that one hears
now OF a care OF chills In even the most un-
sanitary parts of the island" The writer also
says he thinks II census could he taken Of
the people who have settled the island In the
last five years il would be found that not one

writer says: when the writer settled on Staten
Island twenty years ago mosquitoes were so

1t is the consensus of opinion in realty circles
that the McAdoo tunnel routes will be enlarged
in a few years. after the Cortlandt street line
is in operation, as to have direct rapid

many more New Jersey towns than it is now
planned TO connect with. Rapid progress is
being made on the Pennsylvania tunnels between
New Jersey, Manhattan and Long Island. and

OF the Pennsylvania and Long Island tunnel sys-

Pennsylvania Railroad at it's Thompson avenue

DEATH OF $. c. JAMES.

The comrades at Saratoga will sadly
iniss the presence of Comrade S. c.
James. who recently died at his home
in Centerville, Iowa. Comrade James.
who has been for years a member of
the National Council of Administration
of the G. \. r.. was born in New York,
and in 1862 enlisted in Berdan's Sharp
shooters. He served bravely and faith
fully thruout the war. taking part in
all the great battles of the Army of the
Potomac and being severely wounded
at Petersburg. He had been identified
with the Grand Army of the Republic
ever since its formation. took deep
interest in all that pertained to it, and
was valuable in its councils Comrade
James was married in 1869 TO Sadie E.
Heasley. who survives him. The union
resulted in two sons. who are both ply
sicians On the day of Comrade James's
funeral the stores and places of busi-
ness of Centerville. Iowa, were closed as
mark of respect.

Senator in the Washington Legislature

ceeded in his work of changing the loca.
ton of the Soldiers Home in that State
His bill was at length passed, and tho
matter of selecting the new location was
left to a committee of four veterans
who met at Seattle and unanimously ac-
cepted the site offered near Port Or
chard, one of the most beautiful spots
on Puget Sound. 1t contains more than
43 acres, well timbered, and has fine
outlook across the bay to Bremerton.
1t has 1900 feet of frontage on Port
Orchard Bay and a stream of fresh wa
ter. One consideration in making the
choice was tnat the veterans could look
out upon the activity of the great Navy
Yard across the bay. The new Home
is to be on the cottage plan, and will
soon be ready for the old veterans and

Editor National Tribune: I was in
formed by the Grand Army men, if
would write to you 1 might find some
person who knew of me during the civil
war. l was at that time located in
Washington, D. c.. and 1 nursed the
convalescent soldiers at Emery Hos
pitai, and cooked food myself and car
ried to them. DR.. Hodge gave me a
pass as volunteer to go in and do my
good work. That was in the year of
1S62-63. DIR. Hodge did not register
me or give in my name. If he had it
would save me lots of trouble. But tho
sick soldier boys used to call me the
little woman" when they saw me COM
ing. That was the name I went by with
all of them, for / never gave my name
and they never asked it. I was there
every day until my health began to fail.
Then the doctor had me go away. Now
am an old lady. and am in need of a
pension. and if l can find just one per-
son who remembers the little woman, I
please put in The National Tribune the
question if any one remembers the lit
tie woman who nursed them in Emery
Hospital in the year of 1852 and 1863
this will be the kindest act they can
ever do. and it won't be forgotten by
the little woman.
Hoping these few lines will bring me
some good results as 1 have been trying
for the past three years to find some
one that knew me when 1 was in SER
vice, but those 1 did know are now de-
ceased. so this is my last resort. Trust
ing this letter will bring me good news,

A DISTINCTIyELY AMERICAN CAR.
RIAGE HORSE.

We are to have a diStinctiyely Ameri-
can type of a carriage horse in pursu-
ance of an agreement entered into after
years of discussion between the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the varop.i
horse associations thruout the
country. The animal is thus described:
The ideal American carriage horse
should be not les than Is hands
high and have smooth, compact and
symmetrical conformation. His neck
ought to be of good length and natur-
ally inclined to arch. He should have
of medium length and well set, with
sloping pasterns and good feet. His
back should be short and strong
Rules for Judging this kind of a horse
have already been sent to all parts of
the country, and have already been
adopted by the Iowa State Fair, the
Kentucky State Fair, the Kansas City
Interstate Fair, and the Kansas State
Fair. Other fairs and associations will
rapidly follow.
The rulesngoverning all entries are
stringent2 -ho
The Glasses, s..c open only to horses
OF American blood. StaliionS In the
first five classes must be registered in
the American Trotting Register as
standard, iHe the American Morgan
Register, ,orUfn the American Saddle
Horse Register, and certificate of such
registry riust be shown in the ring if
required. - n
Entries in all classes for mares, en-
tries get OF sire in class five and pro-
duce of mare in class ten, and entries
in class eleven, must be sired by stall
lion registered in the above lists, but
the dams, of such entries need not be
registered, mares. The breeding of
dams, as. far as known, must be given
when entity is made. No mare having
any draught cross will be eligible Any
exhibitor falsifying the breeding of en-
tries will be barred, and entries in all
classes must be practically sound.
All the entries should be made to
trot and walk straight and true. and
judges are warned to avoid all horses
showing any tendency to mix gaits
paddle in front, or sprawl behind. In
most cases general conformation and
all round suitability as carriage horse
will count 60 per cent, while style, ac-
ton and manners will make up the re-
naming 40 per cent.

RACING YACHTS.

The adoption of new building rulJ
by the New York Yacht Club casts a
light upon that which it supersedes. I'm
der the old rule the yachts which sue
ceSsfully defended the American cup
against Sir Thomas Upton and others
were simply racing machines and MOTH
ing else. They required an inordinately
large crew to handle them, and after
the race was over were fit for no other
purpose. They were too broad, too fiat
too long, too light, too heavily ballastel
and too heavily spared to be of any
possible use for cruising purposes. There
was no unfairness in this. as the con-
testants on both sides We're building rae
ing machines simply, with the Ameri-
cans having the advantage of being at
home and more intimately acquainted
with wind and water conditions. The
hew rule will endeavor to secure a boat
which, while not quite so fast as the
previous ones, will be sea-going craft,
and capable of transformation after the
races into comfortable and safe pleas
ure Yacht. This will reduce somewhat
the expensiveness of the races, as the
owners of the yachts will have some
thing left after the event" This modi-
fication will, it is believed, bring out
another challenge from across the wa
ter

Even the dead are not allowed to rest

whom we have always looked up to as
Il sort of 40 Egyptian George Washing
ton. He was called the great" and
we supposed most deservedly, since a
man who, without any press agent, could
keep his name before the world for
40 centuries must have had good stay
ing qualities. Now come the English
Egyptologists, who unhesitatingly de-
nOunce him as a fakir of the worst
type. He never conquered anybody, he
never fought into any war of conse-
quence, never built any pyramids or
temples, he never did any big thing for
his people, but all the same he went
around sculpturing his name and his
private mark on everybody else's tenn
pies and monuments some of which
had been erected 1000 years before he
was born. Only one thing can be said
in his favor. He only put his own name
on the monuments, in place of the other
fellows. 1t is a wonder he did not put
on patent medicine advertisement He
was just the kind of man to do it.
