Anneke Jams Heirs Still Corfdent
They Are Entitled to Trinity
Church Property.

Though the New York State Court
of Appeals outlawed the Anneke Jams
heirs claim to the Trinity church
tract in New York city as long ago as
1856, and again in 1881, the claim still
persists In the minds of some of Mrs.
Jams thousands of descendants.
The various litigations attacking the
Trinity church title were all based on
technical Irregularities In grants Of
conveyances, such as the absence OF
seal or signature, or on allegations
that the grantOrs themselves had no
title. The defense has been adverse
possession and the statute of limita-
ton.
The streets laid out by Trinity
Church corporation in the JAMS tract
were named after leading men In the
church-Vesey, after Rev. William
Vesey, the rector; Barclay, after Rev.
Mr.. Barclay, who succeeded Vesey as
rector; Murray, after distinguished
lawyer and officer Of the church; War
rem, after Sir Peter Warren command
er of the British naval forces at the
station, who married Miss Delaney
Of New York city; Chambers, after
John Chambers, lawyer, born in New
York city, and leader in civil and
church affairs

Those Sour Pickles.

Picking time will soon be here
so few general rules are being
given to be followed which will
assure success with your product.
Always use good grade of vine
gar. Use a porcelain or agate
lined kettle because of the action
of the acid. Do not boil vinegar
over IL minutes as it loses its
strength.
Keep the pickles covered with
vinegar in good clean glass or
stone Jars. A few pieces of horse
radish added prevents scum
from forming on the surface of the
vinegar. If cucumbers are soaked
in a brine over night or three
days, they will be firmer, milder
favored, have more Of the salt
taste and will add to the keeping
qualities.
A brine made Of about one-half
cup Of salt to quart of water is
the proportion most commonly
used. Let the brine come to the
boiling point but do not boil.
Wash the cucumbers in clean,
cold water. Do not use a vege-
table brush as this rubs off the
little points that makes the Gu
cumbers shrivel when soaked.

COMMISSION HOUSE LAW.

The going into effect of the
provisions of the law passed by
the legislature in its recent ses-
sion, compelling all commission
merchants to take out licenses, is
exciting considerable interest. The
newspapers from time to time
have published stories about suits
haing brought to enjoin the de-
partment and the department Of
licenses from enforcing the law.
Among other of these newspap-
er stories is one to the effect that
the state department Of agricul-
ture initiated this measure and
procured it's passage through the
legislature. This is true only to
the extent that the department
approved the suggestion for such
a law heartily. The law was
framed by the state Grange, it
was put into actual form by the
attorney generals Office and the
Grange submitted the proposed
law to the department for its ap
proval. 1t appeared beyond all
question that the absence of any
regulatory law left the door open
for fraudulent practices to the in
jury of the producer. Similar laws
had been passed and corrected ex-
listing evils in other states. 1t was
the impression in the department
that every legitimate commission
merchant in the state would wei
come any statute which would re-
Iicv" the trade Of tbe irrespon-
Isihle fy-by-night commission
Ifohses. so called. NO collectively
Lave in various parts Of the Unlt-
ed States, swindled farmers out of
millions of dollars and who have
through their crooked practices,
given the very name of commits
sion merchant" a most unsavory
Significance to may producers.
So far the department has not
been called upon to take any steps
toward the enforcement of the
law. The matter of issuing licenses
is up to the license department.
After licenses are issued, then only
will the commission houses come
Iunder partial regulation from the
department of agriculture. The
question of dealing with those per-
sons who will fully violate the
law and attempt to do business in
disr3g gard of its terms, is up to
the officials whose duty it is to
prosecute in the courts against
lpenal laws. No issue has yet been
presented requiring any action by
the department, but it will GER
tainly lend all Of the aid in its
power to secure complete com
pliance with the law and the pun
ishment of those who violate it.
In the judgment of the depart
ment it is a proper law, protect
ing the farmer, the honest com
mission merchant and the consum-
er; and for that reason, the de-
partment endorsed the action of
the Grange in seeking to place it
on the statute books.
