Her cargo Of palm oil, valued at $125,- 0G0 was being unlOaded here when she took fire on New Years Day, and was thought to have been completely de- stroyed when the remains of her hull were sunk in the bay by the Coast Guard Cutter Itasca.
 The fire was not her first bit of ill luck. The ship was built at Millbridge, Me, in 1904 and was first named the Myrtle Tunneu. Before she had sail ed mnay years the Myrtle Tunneu had gone fast on Frying Pan Shoals, off North Carolina, and it was several months before she was pulled off, bot tom up, and lowed into Savannah to be rebuilt and renamed the Forest City.
 The schooner was twice water log ged and during the winter of 1912 she was caught in a gale off the New Eng land coast and battered so badly that she put into Nantucket Sound leaking badly, her sails blown away and spars broken off Her captain was sick and confined to his cabin at the time and before help could come the schooner was frozen tight in the Sound.
 Shipping men said the schooner nev- CT made a voyage of any great length without having something happen to her.
 At the time of the fire Captain H. B. Allen was her master and he was making his first trip in that capacity. It is said that the Forest City was the third ship he had lost. She was owned by Frankel & Co.,. and was registered at Savannah, Ga, The schooner cost $40,000 to build and had a cargo ca pacity of 1,500 tons.

HULL OF AMERICAN "HooOoo"
 SHIP IS TO BE RAISED Forest City Was Burned on New Years Day at San Juan, Porto Rica.

San Juan, Porto Rica, July 28.-The hull of the iII-fated American schooner Forest City, known among shipping men along the Atlantic coast as a "hoOdoo" ship, is to be raised from the bottom of the bay here and re- built. The Forest City was burned here on New Tors Day, the blaze be- ing finally extinguished, after burning for twenty-four hours, by the sinking of the hull.
 Now the hull has been purchased at public auction for s and after a pre- Iininary survey the purchaser has an nounced that the hull will be rebuilt at a cost of approximately $35,000 and when completed it is believed that the schooner will earn back her cost in a very short time.
 The Forest City, disabled by storms and with more than half of her crew of eleven i'll of beriberi, was brought into port on December 13 last after having been out T days from CaIabar, on the West Coast of Africa The schooner was in distress when lowed into port, she was leaking badly, some of her spars were gone and it was thought she would have to unload all her cargo here and go into dry dock before she could carry cargo again.

SETTLEMENT OF UNPAID
 RENTS IN FRANCE
Tenants Are Allowed to Refer Their
 Gases to Commissions.

Paris, July 28.-The law voted by parliament to regulate the settlement of unpaid rents accrued since the war began to to accrue pending the term ination of hostilities, estimated at eighteen billion francs, exonerates arbitrarily up to a hundred and fifty dollars per year, according to the inn portance of the town in which they reside. The landlord, may, however, in such cases force payment if he can prove that the tenant is able to pay, the burden of the proof being upon the landlord.
 All tenants, whatever may be the amount of their rent, are allowed by the law to refer their cases to the commissions of arbitration provided by the law and solicit reductions pro pOrtiOnate to the losses they have sus- tained through the war. The tenant in such cases must prove that the prejudice he has sustained places him in position that prevents him from fulfilling his obligations

Story of a Quart of Whiskv.

Related by the Haddam Clipper: Some time ago three painters were painting the inside of a house in the country. During the day these paint CTS began wishing for something to drink. Accordingly they put their heads together and the result of the conference was that the leader went to the mistressof the house and said: '"The frames of your oil paintings are very dingy, ma'am. We'll clean them for you if you've got any whisky" How much whisky will be needed ?' asked the guileless old lady. About a quart" said the painter. So the old lady brought to the painter a quart of whisky and they drank 1t and cleaned the picture frames with water. On toward sunset the old lady coming to inspect the frames expressed herself as delighted with them. Oh" she said, they look beautiful. And who'd have thought a quart of whiskey would have cleaned so many. It was lucky saved it. It was what I washed BIdo in last Sunday

National Forest Receipts Exceed All
 Previous Years.

Receipts from National Forests for the fiscal year 1916 reached the high water mark of approximately $2,E2O,- 0OO, according to figures just compiled. This is $341, ,OO0 above the 1915 total, which in turn exceeded any previous year. Officials say that the gain was due to increased demand for all classes of forest products.
 There was a decided growth in the revenue from all sources, the largest being that of 0203, ,00O in timber sales. Grazing fees showed a gain of $77 ,O00. Receipts for water power development were over $12,O0O more than for 1915. Sales of turpentine privileges and charges for special uses were both considerably in excess of the previous year.
 Officials say that the National For ests are important factors in the pros perity of the regions in which they are located, on account of the large amount of timber, range, and other sources which they hold available for use as needed Business conditions are re- f1ected in the receipts of the Forests. Consequently the showing for the past year is regarded as an index of in creased business activity throughout the sections where the National For ests are found.
