OLDEST HOUSE is RAZED
ampton in 1643 by an English
Gentleman.

Southampton, NJ Y.-The oldest
frame house in the United States is
being razed by workmen by order of
the authorities. 1t was built in 1648
by Thomas Sayre and was known as
the "Old Sayre homestead" Sayre
was an English gentleman who came
to this country in Cromwells time and
was one of the original settlers near
Southampton in 1910. The Sayre house
is in the center of the village and has
long been the principal point Of inter.
est here. With proper caretaking the
old house would have stood for a cen.
tury yet, but it was allowed to decay
and crumble
All the material in the old building
with the exception of the glass was
homemade. The timber, boards, shin.
giles, laths, brick and even the nails,
which were turned out by the old vii
lage blacksmith, were bought here
Huge fireplaces warmed it.
During the revolutionary war the
house was used by British officers.
who compelled the women to cook for
them and the men to mind their
horses. The valuables at that time
were buried until the officers left the
homestead. The property is still own
ed by a descendant Of the original
Thomas Sayre.

CLAIM FORTUNE IN AMERICA
Welsh Railroad Man Confident Of
Proving Title to Part Of New
York City.

LOndon.-Thomas Williams, q re-
tired railroad man, who lives in cot
tage at Caersws, Welsh village, tells
me that he is confident of proving his
right to a fortune in America of $275,-
100000.
He bases his claim on his belief that
he Is the nearest surviving male rela-
tive of Edward Edwards, Welshman,
who emigrated In the 18th century
and amassed an enormous fortune, but
died intestate. Edwards was a native
Of Llanymynech, near Oswestry, and
removed to Silverdale, where he mar
ried. His wife's behavior caused him
to emigrate to New York state, where
he acquired cheaply the marshy land
on which part of New York city now
stands.
When the British government recog-
nized American independence Ed
wards leased his land to the United
States government, but the lease ex-
pired in 1880.
Edwards also acquired collieries at
Edwardsville (named after him).
Williams told me that he was sixty
four years Of age, had worked on FIVE
railways including the Northwestern,
the Great Central and BrecOn,
Merthyr G. Cambrian. He saved mon
ey, but lost some in the Liberator
frauds and more recently in a London
bank failure. He has engaged a first
class lawyer in America and is himself
collecting data here. He showed me
papers which seem to have a strong
bearing on his claim.

Sulphur Lakes and Well Of Death.
Some of the lakes Of Guatemala are
wonderfully beautiful. Lake AuGan,
which is on the west slope, is an i'm
menSe sheet Of blue, with five vol
canoes surrounding il, and NAmatitlan
which is an hour or so by rail from
the capital, is in sight of Volcano de
Aqua, and is as beautiful as any lake
in Switzerland. Both of these lakes are
great resorts, and in the future they
may be winter homes for the United
States. Lake Atitlln has IS islands
and the native indians viii row you
about from place to place. Its waters
have no large fish, and the story goes
that this came from their being cursed
by the priests because the people OF
the capital got their fish from there
and made the indian slaves do the fish
ing. Another wonderful lake is that Of
YzObel on the Atlantic side Of the
country. 1t is really an arm of the
yOn with a valley and there spreads
out in a wide sheet Of silver.
And then there IS a sulphur lake in
the TecuambUrrO volcano, which is
1900 feet in diameter. 1t lies right in
the crater and its straW-cOlOred waters
bubble forth sulphurOus gases. This
lake is like the Dead sea in that il
has no fish, and not far from it is a
lllLlt SEgSCI Cd44eQ the W ell OIL DGdLus
which is said TO kill birds. reptiles or
anything that passes which breathes
its fumes. I heard of a similar geyser
during my stay in Central Africa, and
was shown photographs Of deer which
had been killed by it.
Some Wonders of Guatemala.
But these are only a few of the Won
ders Of Guatemala. The whole country
is one of mountains and valleys of
great canyons and stalactite caves. It
has one waterfall 700 feet high and
hot springs which remind me of the
Yellowstone. There is a volcanic lake
surrounded by basalt cliffs $50 feet
tall, and the surface of the lake itself
is higher than the top of Mount Wash
ingtOn. Another lake is said to have
a kind Of red fish which were imported
by the early missionaries, and about 40
miles from here on the road to Saliva
dor is the Bridge Of Slaves, which was
built 100 years after Columbus discOv-
cred America. 1t is 10 feet wide and
375 feet long. 1t is made of stone. and
there are many legends concerning the
building. one of these is that the
devil put it up in a single night on a
contract with the architect who agreed
to give him his soul as the price of
the job. The devil had finished luyi.s-
the stones into place and had about
completed the work when the day was
daWning. Just at that time, however,

pented and asked back his soul, thrust
