Every man who joined in the move

sadness the passing of these four bat
tleships. Accompanying the condemna-
ton of the four Spanish War vessels
is the passing of the old sloop-of-war
Portsmouth, forming the last chap
ter in the history of what is believed
to be one of the most interesting
ships in the old navy.
Launched before the beginning OF
the Mexican war, the Portsmouth took

When Britishers Burned the Capitol

set fire to the capitol, the White
House and other public buildings. 1t
was at this time that Dolly Madison
cut the famous portrait of Washing
ton from it's frame, where it stood in
the great east room of the White
house, and, rolling it up, had 1t cart
ed away with the few effects which
she was able to remove from the
White House. The British descrip-
ton of what went on in the capital
at that time is as follows:
The blazing houses, ships and
stores, the report of exploding maya
zines and the crash of falling roofs
was one of the finest sights to be con-
ceived. The sky was brilliantly IL
Illuminated by the conflagration. The
scene was as striking and sublime as
the burning of St. Sebastian's. To-
ward morning violent storm of rain,
accompanied by thunder and light
ming, came on, whose flashes seemed
to vie in brilliancy with the flames
which burst from the roofs of burning
houses, while the thunder drowned
the noise of falling walls and was
only interrupted by the occasional
roar of cannon and of large deposits
of gunpowder as they exploded, ono

NJ EW YORK.-That the New York
~ city government has, in some ways
at least, kept pace with the city's
growth as shown in the census re-
turns 10 manifest from a budget study
compiled by the city statisticians. The
census returns show an increase in
the population of 1877 per cent. In the
same ten-year period the city budget
has grown from $90,778,972 to $685.
O30,27O-an increase of over "A per
cent. The figures estimated for the
expenditure of the actual city, as
apart from the county, were for 1900
$79,2o1. 763. and for 1910 $15S,775,145,
or "a per cent increase.
The increased cost in the city gov
eminent is partly accounted for, &C.
cording to the budget officials, by the
w1dened scope of municipal enterprise.
For example. ten years ago the domes-
tic relations courts in Manhattan and
Brooklyn, the special schools for de-
fective children or tuberculosis pa
tients and the establishment of play
grounds were entirely outside the gen.
eral conception Of what the city gov.
eminent should do.
The expense Of maintaining the
city's police force has increased more
than third in the decade. The board
of education now requires twice as
much as in 1900-$2S, 500, 900, instead

and started out to see the world. After
several years of wandering, Charley en-
listed in the United States marine
corps. he served for six years. and in
that time visited every port you ever
heard of and more besides. Early
In 1906 Carney was in China and wrote
home that he was sailing soon for
San Francisco. That was the last his
relatives heard of him in years.
In 1908 Mrs. Anna F. Baker, who
was Mrs. Carney's sister, died in Chi
cago, leaving an estate of $4,000. 900,
Of which considerable part went to
the Carney children, who had grown
up and prospered in Troy. To set
tie up the estate it was necessary to
find Cornelius alive or prove him
dead, and one was about as hard a
task as the other. Finally the courts
decided Cornelius was dead-although
he was married and living in Okla
homa.
Within a short time Cornelius share
in his aunt's estate would have gone
to Cook county, but just in the nick
of time Cornelius sent a souvenir post
card to his sister, Mrs. Lizzie Pratt of
Troy, who at once wrote him that he
was an heir to his aunt's estate. In
court Carney proved his heirship and
will get the $4,000 before long.
