FURTHER WORK
FOR GOVERNORS
Conservation of Lives and Property by
States Is Urged by Building
Commissioners.

Washington, May 22.-To the gov
ernOrs Of the forty-ive American
states Il letter has been sent asking
them to extend the work of their re-
cent conference upon the conservation
of natural resources to the matter Of
adequate protection against the i'm
mense fire loss in lives and property
annually suffered by the nation.
The letter was sent out by the In
telnational Society Of Municipal Build
ing Commissioners. 1t does not ask
for joint action by the state executives,
but urges that each one see that his
own commonwealth takes action
against a source of national waste as
costly asthe despoliation Of the for
ests.
In documents accompanying the let
ter it is pointed out that the normal
property loss in a year is $2OO,0O0,OOO,
while the loss of life has run about
5000. In 1906, the year of the San
Francisco fire, the property loss was
SoO0O00, ,OO0-a sum almost equal to
the new buildings erected in this ban

PLATT'S SON ON
WITNESS STAND
Says He Does Not Believe Letters Al
legged to Have Been Sent to Mae
Wood Are Genuin

New York, May 22.-Frank n.
Platt, son of United States Senator
Thomas c. Platt, testifying in the suit
for divorce brought against the sena-
tor by Mae G. Wood, declared that he
believed none of the letters introduced
by Miss Wood as evidence were true
copies of those written by his father.
Mr.. Platt had examined carefully
the original copies Of letters to Miss
Wood which were turned over to him
by Abraham Hummel upon payment
of $4,000, he said, and there were no
such communications among them as
the alleged copies produced in court.
Mr.. Platt also testified that none of
the letters received from Hummel con-
tanned any reference to a marrige be-
tween Plat and Miss Wood. He said
that after rs,ding The letters he de-
stroyed them by burning them in a
CRATE in his office.
The complaint in the case was dis.
missed in the afternoon and Mae C.
Wood was arrested and held in $1,000
bail on a charge of perjury.

that he had no reply to make. The
women thereupon mounted the steps

Grant the Hero

When General Grant was seized with
his fatal illness in the autumn of 1884
he appeared before the world in an en-
tirely new character. From being view
ed as the stern, uncompromising and
conquering military commander, the
revelation of his simple resignation In
the face of great suffering claimed for
him new fame as a hero in another
sense. His last battle with the great
conqueror destined him for grander
laurels than were gained on any of his
many triumphant fields. 1t was the
purely human side of his nature that
then appealed to the general sympathy
of mankind. Thus his last and only
surrender was his greatest victory. If
it had been otherwise, history would
have cheated itself of an example of
Christian fortitude the like of which
has been seldom recorded.-Dr. G. f.
Shrady in Century.

New York Church Choirs.

singing in a New York choir has
several advantages, one of which is the
long contract" said a soprano. Il sang
in churches in four different cities be-
fore coming here, and everywhere |
was hired from month to month. That
is the custom In most churches In 9th
er towns. The trustees are afraid to
sign a years contract on account of
the hot water they will get into if the
choir proves unsatisfactory. Congrega-
tions in other cities are very finicky
and stubborn in the matter of music.
They don't take things as easy as the
people do here. The average New York
congregation is the most obliging body
on earth. Unless a choir Is hopelessly
bad nobody interferes, SO the trustees
feel safe in hiring the singers by the
year.'-New York Sum
