IN Queen Anne's Time.
strange wailings Of that British ghost
were said to be audible after dusk.
Walking west from the village
square short distance one comes to
old st. Peters chureh, the fourth
house OF worship erected on this site
In its yard are headstones dating
back as far as 1913. Upon the tomb
stone Of Philip Honeywell, who was
active during the Revolution, this in
scription was placed:
Look on this stone and you will find
My journeys DER, and yours behind;
Think, then, before you turn away,
That yours may end before this day.
This was one of the early churches
upon which Queen Anne bestowed
gifts. In her day its chime OF bells
was given it. The old bells have since
been melted and made into q new
one, which rings Sabbath-day pilgrims
to service as of old.
Across the street stands the parish
house. This building, says Doctor
Clendenin, the rector, was the one
used for two weeks as the colonial
capital of the state of New York when
an epidemic Of fever prompted a sud-
den move.
A few blocks farther west is the
picturesque rectory, standing quite
alone on a green knoll. Its surround
ing land was part of the ancient
gIebe" given by the town in 1908.
Records state that it was found nee
essary to lay out parsonage lands,
and 30 acres was made up by taking
-four acres where Edward Golfers
old lott was" "the eight-acre division
Of land in the old lott fronting to the
sheep pasture" and so on.
From 1853 to 1859 Westchester was
the shire town. The village was set
tied in 1912 by Throckmorton (for
whom Throg's Neck was named), who
arrived from Massachusetts, with a
group driven thence along with Roger
Williams. They procured permission
to make their homes at Westchester,
settling IS families there. The Dutch
had called the spot vredeland, mean
Ing Land of Peace. and perhaps the
name had something TO do with at
tracing these weary worahipers.
Today the spot is one to which the
hearts Of all true Americans turn in
reverent love.

TAX MEASURES OF
GERMANS SECRET

BERLIN. VIC London. Feb. 20-The
most important part Of the govern
ment's tax measures have been sub
mitted TO the bunde rath. but strict
secrecy j. preserved regarding their
nature. II appears. however. that the
bills have been designed to furnish
5OO.ooo.OOO marks OF new revenue.
The publication of the new measures
probably will occur before the reas-
sembiing Of the Reichstag on March
Is.
IL Is assumed that the chief feature
OF the fiscal legislation viii be a tax
on extra war time profits
10 Is understood that among other
tax measures to be proposed are lev
les on gas and electricity for illum-
mating purposes. Much talk has been
INDUCED in about the imperial mono
poly for generating electricity but
now IL Is known that this project has
been definitely abandoned The i'm
perial fiscal measures however. al
ready reported embrace two mono
poles, namely. cigarettes and petrol
cum. On the other hand. the much
mooted tax on the works OF art has
either been elected or postponed. The
Tageblatt learns that the next war
loan which Is expected TO fall around
the end OF March will include an issue
or 4is per cent treasury notes redeem
able at par. The issue price is ex.
pected To be trifle above 90.
