THE SAILORS SNUG HlEBon.

One hundred and twenty years ago today, Juno 9. f799. a deed was exc cuted whereby one Robert Richard I{a ndall became tho owner of a farm" on the Island of Manhattan. The pur- chase price was in the neighborhood of s2O.OOO. That farm. then lowering on the outsltirst of New York City. is now in inc downtown section Of the metropolis. and Is worth per haps $50, ,OOO. .OOO-and it belongs to less than a thousand deep sea sailors. now retired and living in luxury at Sailors Snug Harbor. on Staten Is- land. And no matter how hard these poor old tars try. they can't begin to spend their income. They live in convenience that modern art and science can afford. they have a. play house of their own and engage the auica1 stars. they employ their own clersymen to preach in their own church. the best chefs prepare their meals--fivc day-and they have the most skilled attendants to wait on them-and yet these poor old gen tlemen see their income piling up be- yond their ability to spend. And all of rhis tremendous good fortune that has fallen to the lot of the retired mariners is based on pirate gold.
 Robert Richard Randall. who left his farm in Manhattan as a bequest for the founding of the Sailors Snug Harbor, was the son of Thomas Ran da1. pirate bold who sailed the seven seas in search of pluuyler. Tn his good ship. The Fox, he roamed at will, and luckless was the merchant man that crossed his track. Having thus laid the foundation of fortune, Thomas Randall retired from the sea and settled in New York. The prop erty he had acquired he left to his son, and the latter, after providing for relatives. bequcathed the real es- tate previously mentioned as a site of a home for those who go down to the sea in ships The trustees found that sailors would not go so far from the sea as the interior of the island of Manhattan, and so they purchased over a hundred acres fronting the shore of Staten Island. There the Snug Harbor was built, at first to provide for fifty. and was gradually increased in size the rent rolls from the New York farm" increas- ed. Now about four hundred men are employed 10 look after less than thousand occupants of the home. the sole heirs of Randall's generosity. And yet the surplus keeps piling up, at the rate of hundreds of dollars a day. and the property continues to increase fin value

 TEACHERS JOBS

According to announcement of Su- perintendent. of Schools Samuel J. Slawson at last nights meeting of the Board of Education, several of the new teachers to graduate from nor 11lal school this year would have to go temporarily without berths be- cause of the decision of 1he board 10 allow teachers who marry to re- tain their positions.

ATLANTIC CABLE.

The American steamship Ma gara began to lay the Atlantic cable sixty years ago today. An attempt to lay the cable had been made the previous year at Nalentia. in Ireland, but after a few miles the cable snapped. A second attempt failed after 300 miles of wire had been paid out, and the project was abandoned until the June of 1858. After overcoming many ob- stacles the British and American yes sels employed in ~the epochaI task were successful. and on Aug. 5, 1858, the first two mesa Ees. from the Queen of England 10 the President of the United States, and his reply, passed over 2.O5O miles of cable stretching from Newfoundland to ioiCinE on both sides of the Atlantic but 1t proved to be premature. fo1 the insulation of the wire gradually became more faulty. and within a month the power of transmitting messa ges finally ceased. While this failure was na turally a disa appoint- ment, the promoters were not down hearted. and in 1860 new company was formed. and six years later a successful cable dine was in opera ton. It is estimated that there are now 320 ,00O to $50. 900 miles of cable lines in operation throughout the world

THE ANARCHIST oUrRAGEs.

Another display of anarchist ter rorism has been given in various cities. If these fools think they can friEhten the American people into cha nging their laws and government they are very much mistaken. This nation has a. very kindly feeling toward the so called under dog classes, in behalf of whom these an archists seem to be working. But this country can not be driven one single inch, as Germany has recent 1y learned to it's cost.
 The bomb outrages will react against the very clements for whom the anarchists claim to be working. They will so disgust fair minded peo- pie, as to lead to more .conserva tive courses in government. and thus will work directly against the ends the anarchists claim to have in view.
 It is time for the forces of law and government to bestir themselves, to catch these towards that strike in the dark and main innocent people
