Mrs. Van Rensselaer Strong Rescues Historic Building.

A ftritil articlfshave been published in the Sunday Magazine tinder Ihe title of “Historic Houses Preserved by Scc'eties of American Women.” One of these sketches is of special interest to Jasper oaunty readers, fir it cmeerns a house built by the ancestor of the same Van Rensselaer family Whioh founded and named oar oity and its rescue from dea+rnotion by Mrs. Susan 0. Van Rensselaer Strong, only living ohild of John 0 Van Rensselaer, and herself known to many of our citizens. This particular sketch is also of great general as well as of looal interest, and is therefore herewith oopied:

Finally, there is a “Yankee Doodle” House, one qf thehistorio structures saved by an individual woman. wh : ch stands on the e>st bank of the Hudson River, op polite Albany, presenting the same imposing front as in the 1642 days when built by Killian Van Bensselaer, the first “patroon,”who oaived this inscription on the cel* lar wall: “K. V. R. 1642 Anno Domini.” The bronze tablet placed outside the house by the city of Albany oontains this: “Supposed to be the oldest building in the U* S. and to have been erected in 1642 as a manor-home and place of defense, known as Fort Orailo, General Abercrombie’s while marohing to attack Fort Tioondercga in 1758, when it is said th-it at the cantonment east of the house, near the old well, the army surgeon, R, Bhuokberg, composed the popular song of “Yankee D odle.” As the story goes ia detail, this yr nng surgeon was greatly amused al the sight of the raw American recruits straggling in from the or untry-side. One day, when the queer garb of these country bum* kins exoited his derision as well as his mirtb. he seated himself by the w»4l to write the doggerel about “Yankee Diodle Dandy,” Curious ly enough, in 1775, almost a quarter of a oentury later, with the despised “Yankee Doolies” in the C ulinenlal Army held cantonment baok cf this same manorhouse before goiog on to the same Ti 'onderoga to whip the British. This massive three-story house, ■til pieroed with port-holes in mute evkbnoe of days of defense, eventually drifted|into the patriotic hands of Mrs, Van Rensselaer Strong of New-Brunswiok, New Jersey, descendant of the first Patr»on Van Rensselaer. As it has withstood the devasla’ion of nearly three centuries, she purposes, wi'h money oolleoted largely by h ree'f, to .make it permanent headquarters for patriotic work, probably under anspices of an agio nation representing various patriotic societies, 'having in the meantime promised two rooms to obapters of Daughters of the American Revolution in Albany. Aside from its sge, the manor is m >st interesting for its historic associations, as such notables as George Washington, Lafayette, Daniel Webster and Alexander Hamilton often were enteitahied under its roof.

JAPAN’S BEST.

w* Can Put Half a Million of Them In the Field. In all the world. I have never se«t finer fellows than some of Japan * troops. The Tokio Guards were superb, and the general body of the infantry very fine indeed. The best the nation ie now at the front For five long years Japan was selecting these men, picking them, choosing them, trying them, getting them ready tor that fateful February day when hell was to be let loose upon *he peaceful earth. The Russian effleers In Japan eaw i\e preparations and sneered. Today tney are reaping the reward* es those eheap sneers, just as we harvested the frnlts es disaster which Tory folly, Tery Insolence and want of common sense prepared for us during the first six months, when we were so nebly taking the Transvaal and Free State from the fine Burgher breed to give them to the Park lane Chinaman and the German cheap trader. I made it my business to look beyond the army corps the Japanese w«re rushing to the front while I was in Japan. I went Into the Interior of th» country as far as I could get in company with a fellow journalist of great experience. I looked at the mtn from whom the Mikado will have te draw his fighting forces a year hence, when the grand fellows he has la action are killed or worn out with weunds and marching, longeontiaued struggle, shattered the frightful horrors of a winter campaign. That they will die Ilka heroes at the command of their rule: all the world knows, and when they are dead, or when they are stale and sore, they will have te be replaced. a»s I de not think that when she Is tried te the uttermost Japan can. from first to last, put more thee 506,•Ofi really high-class men into the field. There is a tremendous drop In the calibre of the class the fighters ere coming from. Many jeneratlons es semi-slavery, of ill-breeding, of low diet, of wretched p*y and ceaseless work have thinned the ooelie blood, and there is even a greater difference between coolies and the class I have refered to than there is between the coolies of India and the Sikhs and the Gourkas. —A. G. Hales In London Daily News.
