FATE OF THE OLD CHURCHES
Eighteen From New York City Have
Been Sold and Moved to Small
Towns.

Eighteen stone churches which were
on Manhattan Island from twenty-five
to two years ago are now scattered
over New York state, New Jersey and
Connecticut, says the New York Sun.
These structures were taken down to
make room for mercantile buildings.
The congregations moved uptown and
built new edifices. The old buildings
were sold and the buyers took them
down, carefully numbering each stone
and making full detailed drawings for
sale with the materials to prospective
purchasers.
There is a good market for second
hand churches taken down hereabout
and that can be moved by low cost
water carriage TO places within two
hundred miles. Old New Workers
! journeying upstate, through New Jer-
sey or in Connecticut often come upon
a church that looks familiar, and on
making inquiries find that the build
ing formerly stood on Manhattan Is
land and after being taken to a new
site was sand-blaSted so as to give
the stone fresh appearance.
In the last dozen years an enormous
business has been done in taking down
brownstone houses in Manhattan and
re-erecting them in many places. One
fine facade by famous architect of
sixty years ago is in Boston, another
in New Haven and a number are in
New Jersey cities. More than a thous-
and fine brownstone houses were taken
down in Manhattan last year and the
stone and good deal of the timber
were worked into houses and apart
ment houses. hotels and halls within a
hundred miles of this city.

OLD STAGES or NEW YORK
Many Years Ago They We're Operated
Regularly Between Metropolis and
Other Cities.

In excavating underneath the former
Tallman livery in New York recently
workmen found a number of straps
such as were used In former days on
the stage coaches which piled between
Albany to Buffalo
The straps are supposed to have
been made at the Sherwood establish
ment, which many years ago stood at
the northeast corner of State and Dill
streets. s. c. Tallman said he be-
lieved the straps TO be at least IS
years old, and to have lain where they
were found probably for that length uf
time or longer.
1t was in 1909 that Isaac Sherwood
of Skaneatles became partner Of
Jason Barker of Utica in conducting
the stage line which passed through
this county, carrying the United States
mail, II is recorded that in 1915 q
line of coaches, among the proprietors
of which was the firm of Isaac Sher-
wood & Co. of Auburn, was operated
between Canandaigua and Utica.
These coaches passed over what was
known as the Seneca turnpike, con-
structed between the two points
named. It was designed to build this
road six rods wide, the middle rs feet
of it to be covered with gravel or
broken stone to depth of Is inches.
The Seneca Turnpike company was
authorized to erect a toll gate every
ten miles and exact 12k cents toll
for two-horse teams and 25 cents for
four horses.
From Utica east trf-weekly stage
line was operated to Albany, and this
likewise was controlled by Sherwood
& Co. and others.
The corner of State and Dill streets
was a great center for stage coaches
in the early days. Various other lines
besides the turnpike stages converged
in Auburn, there being stages to Ho-
mer, Ithaca, Oswego, Aurora and other
places. 1t was in that day that the
fight broke out between the Pioneer
Line, as a new competing company
was called, and the Sherwood combina,
| ton.
The Pioneer Line gained control OF
the principal hotel in the village
known as the Western Exchange, hop
ing thus to embarrass its rivals. 3ut
the Sherwood interests fitted up the
Bank of Auburn, as it was known, for
their headquarters. An issue of this
campaign was the question of running
stage coaches on Sunday.

RESPECTED BY MINE OWNERS
superstItions Among Men Who Work
Where Daylight Never Penetrates
Are Rather Quaint.

Many and quaint are the supersti.
lions existing among coal miners and
each Of them Is respected by the wise
mine owner
For example, II Is an old-established
custom In the mines In the north of
England and South Wales to close
down a mine for one day when a man
is killed in the workings In some
mines the closing day after a fatal &C.
cident is the day of the funeral, but
more usually It is the day after the
accident
IN some mines it is considered an
omen Of 81 luck for a miner to carry
his lantern in his left hand; and in
others, curiously enough. it Is regard
cd as unluclIy to carry the lantern in
the right Land
One Of the Oldest customs among
miners is that known as parting"
When a batch of miners in England
get to work on a new seam, or cutting,
for the FIRST time the first miner to
strike the coal with his pick leaves a
BIT Of the clothes he is wearing at the
place where he strikes the first blow.
A miner always tears a BIT out Of his
coat or trousers for this purpose, and
in mining districts where this custom
prevails you may see many wearers
Of clogs going about with several torn
patches In their clothes, telling Of the
number Of times they have fulfilled
the custom Of parting in the mine. It
is considered unlucky to have such
rents in cloths meGdcd.
Every miner on taking on work at a
mine in the north OF England receives
a cardboard leaf, containing the regu
lations prevailing at that particular
mine, which he must scrupulously OBJ
serve. 1t is considered an unlucky
thing for miner to lose this card, and
In many miners homes you may see
the regulation card hanging on the
wall in glass frame.

Mrs. j G. Phelps Stokes (Rose

New York. apropos of certain dishon-
est financial methods:

out of his motoroar one day, a thief

1T AsTDNISHED THE COOK
Marvellous Appetite of "Mr. Claren-
don," Whose Name Was Pass
port to Kitchens Best.

j. INSTRUMENTATION, eating his
three meals in a German grillOf much
renown, has, day by day, extended his
acquaintanceship from the steward to
each of the walters and from thence
into the kitchen to the cooks. And it
so happened a while ago that one of
the cooks had had TO send his wife to
a hospital Clarendon, ever thought
full, bought flowers and sent them out
to the kitchen to be forwarded thence
to the hospital
This, of course, made him more
than solid with the culinary depart
ment of the big restaurant, with the
result that whenever a waiter an
nounced that the order was for Mr.
Clarendon" the cooks would go to
the limit in getting him the best
steaks and chops and serving them as
works OF art.
The walters weren't slow i'm learn
ing that the word Clarendon" was
the passport to the Kitchens best
the open sesame, as II were.
So 1t happened that one afternoon
waiter came into the kitchen with
the order:
"T-bone steak, rare, for Mr.. Claren-
DON"
The man at the broiler threw up
his handa.
What's come over Mr. Clarendon"
he asked in establishment. ''He has
had two porterhouse steaks, boiled
salmon, ham and eggs, three oyster
stews, sanddabs. chops, and now he
wants a T-bone steak-and all in an
hour!"-San Francisco Chronicle.

TO the Electorate of the
First Judicial District

While official returns have not yet
been canvassed. it appears that was
defeated on Sept. 10th for the nomi-
nation as candidate for District Judge.
In Clear Creek comfy | received q
large majority over my competitors,
and in Idaho Springs more than two
thirds of the voters, my opponents
dividing between them less than one
third. also received large pluralities
in each Of the counties which. with
Clear Creek. formerly composed the
district, i. e. Grand. Giipin, and Jeffef-
son. These majorities and pluralities;
though insufficient to overcome the vote
of Arapahos and Adams counties, both
of which have been recently attached to
the district, are very gratifying 20 me
because they show that the slanderous
and otherwise unfair campaign waged
against me by certain interests failed
to influence the voters where I am per
sonally well known.
My regret on my own behalf is less
than on behalf of my many friends who
wished me well, and on behalf Of
Clear Creek county which has never
had district Judge.
The loss to me is more than overcome
by my gratifica tion upon the support
given to me in the mountain counties
Of Clear Creek. Gilpin and Grand and

Another View of the Cnriyon Tract.
YELM, Wash.
EDITOR STANDARD: We had a very
interesting meeting at Yelm Saturday,
attended by about so electors of both
sexes. The speakers were candidates
on the Democratic ticket, among whom
were ]. F. Brown, Charles Dufault, B.
F. Wall, A. J. Frisch and d. Nj. Kagy.
One of the topics discussed by Mr..
Brown was the proposed purchase of
the Carlyon tract by the county for a
combined fair ground and poor farm.
The audience seemed at loss to un-
dersland wne,ner The proposition was
made i'll good laith, or only a joke to
determine the gullibility of the peo-
pie. Inc scheme suggested of pay
ing man $4,000 Tor a tract of land
assessed Tor Only $1,000 seemed so pre-
p0slelous that most of them thought
1t must be simply trick of the Re-
publicans to ascertain how much the
'Gamphoof' voters would yet stand be-
fore lney would sQueal. Ut course we
don't blame MIR. Carlyon for getting
ali he can tor his property, for that is
human nature, but how the commits
sioners and others could have the gall
10 endorse, or even consider such
proposition is beyond our comprehen-
sion except ON the grounds of the
known guiiibility OF the voters of the
past.
When we realize that, notwithstand-
ing the vast increase OF values in prop
er,y during the past several years. our
taxes are increasing and the rate in
creasing many seem willing to perpet-
uate the graft by continuing the same
old party in power. The coming cleo
ton will decide whether or not the
people want the same old dope. OF
course they Will get what they vote
IOr, as usual.
Mr.. Mottman's questions, PROFOUND
ed in the last issue OF the STANDARD,
seem to ME quite pertinent and de-
mand from the promoters speedy an
swer. l note that my friend, Pete"
iavors the proposition, but l don't
think his reasons hi the bill. Most
people favor a lar, but they also favor
II on a fair proposition and no one
knows better than he that our county
affairs have been run more in the in
terest of the Office holders than in the
interests of the people whom they
serve. j. c.. CONNIE.
