PLAYED GREAT
HISTORIC PART
Destruction of Falls House, of
Revolutionary Fame, Some
thing to Be DepIored
by Patriots.

IF THE British spy Taylor had not
] been captured in the Falls house
the United States of America in all
probability would never have existed
as such. For it was in this house, on
October 10, 1777, that the emissary
sent by General Clinton carrying dis
patches to General Burgoyne was
trapped and searched.
1t was in the Falls house, in those
days known as Woods tavern, that
many famous letters were written by
Major Armstrong, one of which is a
vivid portrayal of the condition of the
continental army, then in sore straits.
1t also was the headquarters of New
Yorks first governor, Clinton.
Historical societies of Newburg and
surrounding towns agitated for the
preservation of the Falls house. But,
with no available site on which to re-
erect it and small funds with which to
put through such project, it had to
be abandoned.
Something of the history associated
with this typical tavern of revolution
airy days is related by William ]. Roe
Of Newburg as follows:
"The autumn of 1777 saw the plight
pf Americas arms, endeavoring to as
Bert the right of self-government, at
their lowest ebb. From the north Bur-
yoyne was advancing, while from New
York Sir Henry Clinton, urged by the
necessity of effecting junction with |
3urgoyne, had already captured Forts |

ETIQUETTE OF THE DROSHKY
Being Allowed Selection of Companion
One Can Imagine Mode of
Travel Enjoyable.

The Siberian method of riding in a
droshky requires an etiquette all its
own, which, although sometimes sur
prfsing to the English traveller who
encounters it for the first time, is
based upon practical considerations.
The danger of being thrown out has
determined the prevailing usage, says

his task to hold her in the carriage
not an easy occupation. He accom-
plfshes it by putting his arm around
her waist. A man who fails to do so is
considered as lacking in courtesy.
When you have become acquainted
with the custom, it seems entirely SEN
sible and comfortable, but it seems
strange at first to find yourself set
ting back into strangers arms.
An American, who had lived in Rus
STA and whom we met in China, told US
that he was driving with a woman
physician, a Russian, middle-aged,
and of the rotund Russian type. He
knew nothing about his duty toward
her, and they thrashed round that
three-by-five droshky until the woman
turned angrily toward him.

Electric Current Kills Horse.

Livingston.-One horse was instant

alley back of the Montana cafe by
Mrs. Sohl, the owner of the team The
ground was charged with electricity,
although no wires were visible. Real
izing the probable cause, Mrs. Sohl
summoned help while remaining in the
wagon, and the current was shut off.

houses that were occupied by Wash
ington. First Washington lived in the
residence set apart for principals Of
Harvard college. Then he moved to
the house of fugitive Loyalist, John
Vassall. Later this became the resi-
dence of Henry w. Longfellow, the
great poet, and here were written
many of his works since become world
famous.
Washington had many houses in
New York. None is more beautiful
than the building now known as the
Jumel mansion. This was his head
quarters from September 16 to Octo-
Der 81, 1776. 1t is also rich in mem
cries of Aaron Burr, who married the
widow of Stephen Jumel. Jumel
gained possession of the house when
Roger Morris and his wife fed be-

Mrs. Morris, who as Mary Philipse,
George Washington wooed in vain.
At Neshaminy, 20 miles north of
Philadelphia, is a headquarters of
Washington rich in historic memories.
1t is a rough stone building, two
stories in height, located near the
bridge over the Little Neshaminy
creek. Here Washington held an i'm
portant council of war, at which for
the first time the young Marquis de
Lafayette took his place as one of
Washington's advisers.

take the pastorate of the Central
Presbyterian church of South Butte. A
number of the prominent members Of
the church met them at the station
and had their rooms in the Acoma
decorated with bouquets of carnations.
The new minister came from the
