Nearly complete figures compiled by the Repuo-

JUDICIAL ACTS MIscoNsTRUED

Were this a contest In which my individual
interests are alone concerned I should hesitate
to discuss my opinions and judicial acts and ex
ecutive acts and should prefer to let them stand
or fail by .he written explanation given in the
opinion or in the executive decision, but as
there is disposition the part Of my oppo-
nents TO decline to read anything on the sub
iect and as I should feel very much disap-
pointed to have acts OF mine misconstrued and
iniure the cause Of Republicanism, l have
thought II necessary TO go into a full explana-
ton of all the acts Of mine which were made
the basis Of criticism. I am not apologfztng for
any of the decisions rendered any Of the
executive acts performed am merely stating
them and avoiding the misconstruction and false
charges in regard to them made by partisans In

Crate in Taproonn of Fell Tavern at
Wilkesbarre, Pa.

called, for the first time in an open
CRATE. The experiment was in the
big taprOom of the old Fell tavern.
and this room and the crate are still
preserved, although the old tavern has
long since disappeared. The room
was kept intact and the present build
ing, hotel, was erected around il.
Coal had been discovered many
years before Judge Felrs experiment,
but had not been put to practical use
except by a few blacksmiths. who had
burned il in their fOrges, where, under
a strong draft, it had ignited and
made hot fire. No one thought of
using it for household purposes, how
ever, until Judge Fell began to think
that If a fire such as he had seen in
some forges could be produced from
it, it would be of exceedingly great
value in the household. He set to
work, and although scOffed at by
many friends he had built into the
old fireplace in the big tapToom two
side walls of brick, and at the bot
tom and front of the open box he
formed in the center he put fiat strips
of iron, forming CRATE bars.
1t was a wintry night when Judge
Fell filled up the CRATE with wood, got
1t well ablaze upon a foundation of
red hot embers. and then placed the
coal upon it. While the interested
and scOfting crowd of town notables
watched, they saw that without any
aid in the form of an artificial draft
the coal soon ignited, and in a little
while was soon red hot and giving
forth a steady, lasting heat they never
obtained from wood
In this manner the real usefulness
Of anthracite coal was established.
The business grew very slowly, how
ever, and it was not until eight years
later that shipments of hard coal
reached 1000 tons.

in date as we'll as in interest TO the
antiquarian and historian. For nearly
25O years this mansion, constructed
from stone quarried from the nearby
rocks and timbers hewn from the for
ests, has stood there on the north
side Of the Mohawk, just across the
river from the city, and watched the
old town of Schenectady grow from an
Indian castle TO the most important
electrical city in the world The build
ings andsestate have never been out of
the family. and Charles P. Sanders,
the present occupant is a direct de-
sCendant of Alexander Lindsay Glen,
the son of a Scottish chief, who, when
exiled from his own country. founded
another Scotia in America
1t was on July p, 1861, that Peter
Stuyyesant, director general and COM
missary of the Privileged West India
company at Fort Orange, the town of
Beverwyk (now Albany, counter

chiefs of the Mohawk valley unto

arms, trinkets and rum. Schenectady
was the second of the five Mohawk
castles to be sold to the whites, who
found the fats cleared and the land
already cultivated.
Three years before this Alexander
Lindsey Glen, the Highlander had
settled on tract of land north of~the
Indian village of SchOnawa and built
himself mansion of stone under the
protection and title of the MOhawks
In 1865 he secured a patent for his
lands on the north of the river, thus
perfecting his title to Scotia"
The mansion covers a large area.
The stone walls are thick and massive,
the rooms large and the ceilings
lofty. The stone was quarried near
by and the timbeTs cut from the
largest trees of the forest. The logs
were first hewn square and then quar-
tered with a whip-saw, making four
timbers from each log. Wherever
possible, joints were morticed and
fastened with wooden pins. Even the

Greek Patients Treated 2,4OO Years

Modern Hospital - Ruins
Recently Unearthed.

New YOrk.-Thc most famous Of The
ancient Greek health temples and the
last whose ruins have been brought
into view is on the Island of Cos in the
-f1gean sea, NOT far from the south
west corner Ct Asia Minor.
There were larger health temples
than that OF Cos, but the newly discoy-
cred temple is the most celebrated Of
them all, because il was there that
HippOcTates, the Father of Medicine,
studied and pTacticed the art of heal
ing and wrote some of the books that
have come down TO us. 1t was there
that he freed medicine from some of
the ancient supeTstitions and that his
powers of observation and scientific
insight led him TO discoveries of new
truth that were a blessing to the
Greeks for centuries after his death.
This fOrerunner of the modern hos
pital was built about 2,4OO years ago.
The place where it stood had been so
changed by earthquakes and the raw
ages Of time and men that it was not
identified as the site of the health
temple Of Hippocrates till three years
ago.
Then two British architects began
digging and found inscriptions proving
that on this spot the Iong-lost temple
stood. Excavations were rapidly
pushed and the foundations and ruined
buildings, now revealed, were found
TO cover an area of $50 feet from north
to south and 423 feet from east to
west.
So much has been found that it is
not difficult to make a mental picture
of the ensemble of the beautiful build
ings that stood here over 1000 wears

Alexander Lindsey Glen died in
1855 and the estate passed TO the
youngest of his three sons, John Alex

French and Indians as Maj. COudTe
He married Anna Peek, the daughter
of the settler from whom Peekskill

after his fathers death John Alex

the north on account of a slight
change in the river bed which threat

Maj. Coudre" died in 1871 and the
estate passed into the hands of Col

ago. A picture of the health temple,
undoubtedly giving a fair idea of it, is
reproduced here from the Proceedings
of the Royal institution of Great
Britain.
The site, two miles from the sea, is
very beautiful. Mountains rise on two
sides of it and it is fronted by the
turquoise Egean dotted with islands.
The buildings were grouped on three
terraces.
In front is the three-sided portico
and its buildings where patients were
received and where the consultation
and operating rooms and baths were
situated. 1t was here that Hippoc-
rates wrote his notes on many impor-
tant cases.
The baths were numerous because
he was great believer in the re-
medal uses of water. 1t is supposed
that the medical school also occupied
some of the front buildings.
A flight of stairs in the middle
ground leads to the second terrace.
and here was the great altar. from
which smoke may be seen arising in
the picture, and the gymnasium, for
Hippocrates prescribed a great deal
of exercise in suitable cases. On this
terrace have been unearthed many
wall slabs inscribed with wise max
inns in regard to health that have come
down to us in the writings of Hippoc-
rates.
Reached by the broad stairs ascend
ing to the third terrace is the restora-
tiOn of the beautiful temple of Apol-
10. The temples of all the greater
gods exactly faced the east, and this is
the only building in the sanitarium
that had precisely that orientation.
The priests of Apollo here were
trained to the care of the sick, and so
their religious ceremonies occupied
only a part of their time In the build
ings that surround the terrace on three
sides were the sleeping apartments Of
the patients.
Thus it is seen that 2,4OO years ago
the sick in this hospital were sur
rounded by many of the advantages
which to-day are regarded as helpful
TO invalids. They were nursed back to
health in a lovely environment for
here was the charm of mountains,

and beauty.
There was the daily routine of treat
ment by baths, exercise, massage, a
regulated diet and medicines of vege-
table origin, which usage had ap-
proved, and there were hours of sitting
out in the sunlight in that pure noun
tain air, and to divert attention from
human ills there were professions of
white-robed priests and priestesses,
with music of flute and cithara and
the singing Of paens.
Here HippocTates wen his undying
