Iris by

NB of the most beautiful nnd
historic regions In the United
States Is the far famed Gene
see valley of New York The
name of the valley is Indian and signi
fies beautiful and It has alwayu
been agreed that the rod men chose
well when they selected It In this val
ley is the large private estate known
as Glen Iris which has recently been
presented by Its owner William P
Letchworth to the state of New York
for use as a public park It embraces
about a thousand acres and extendi
for three miles along both sides
of the Genesee river Mere men
tion of the gorge and valley of the
Genesee calls to mind the deeds and
fame of the Indian chiefs lied Jacket
and Cornplanter and Joseph Brant of
Robert Morris that great Revolution
ary financier who with Hamilton had
so much to do with placing the fiscal
sjstem of the young republic on a
sound and enduring basis of the Hol
land Land company the big real estate
syndicate of a century ago which de
veloped western New York and of
tho Wadsworths who generation after
generation have served in legislative
halls and on the battlefield
It recalls too the strange story of
the old white woman of the Gene
see Mary Jamison who once owned
1S000 acres of the beautiful valley
and might have been richer than netty
Green had she survived to the present
day It was at the big tree council of
1797 when Morris negotiated the pur
chase of a great portion of tho lands
of the Genesee valley from the Indians
of the Six Nations that Mary Jami
sons claim was presented and though
Red Jacket opposed the action it was
agreed to reserve for her those ISOOO
acres of rich land with the Genesee
river running through it which was
long known as the Gardeau reservation
The old white woman was born In
midocean about 1742 and was captured
as a child by a party of Shawnees

married first a Delaware
and after his death Hi-ok-a-too a Sen
eca also known as Gardeau who fig

She declared in the memoirs which she
dictated as an aged woman that de

died a Christian at ninety one and was
buried on the old Buffalo Creek reser
vation but when in after years the
opening of a street in the city of Buf
falo Interfered with the repose of her
bones her grandson Dr James Shongo
disinterred them and Mr Letchworth
gave them a resting place at Glen Iris
and erected the monument which is
now one of the sights of the park
Near by is a section of the big tree
under which Morris made the famous
treaty In the same vicinity is the
old council house which formerly
stood at Canadea and in which in days
long gone by the Senecas not only
smoked the pipe of peace but in their
own primitive and picturesque fashion
worshiped the great the
master of life Mr Letchworth when
it was threatened with destruction had
it removed to his estate for preserva
tion and here in 1S72 the Senecas met
for the last council held in the Genesee
valley It was on this occasion that
they gave Mr Letchworth his name as
an adopted son of their tribe
the man who always does
the right thing In a museum is a
collection of Indian relics
Mr Letchworth has long been known
for his interest in historic and patriotic
societies and for over a quarter of a
century his life has been wholly devot
ed to unselfish work for the benefit of
humanity especially the unfortunates
who inhabit prisous and asylums Thr
splendid domain which he has given
to his state and which Is to be calk l
In his honor Letchworth park Is visit
ed by thousands of persons every year
The Erie railroads bridge at Portage
crosses the Genesee within the bounds
of the park It is S00 feet in length
and it is 234 feet from the railroad
tracks to the turbulent stream beneath
Below the bridge is a series of three
falls of great beauty Seldom Indeed
has the public come into possession of
a domain possessing at once so many
natural charms and so many historic
associations

of Norfolk referring to this quaint
service prints a letter from the house
hold ollicers of Charles I making
divers Just exceptions to the quality
of the pies which had been forwarded
by the city sheriffs
The main exceptions road as follows
First you do not send them accord
ing to your tenure of the first new her
rings that are taken
Secondly you do not cause them to
be well baked In good and strong
pastye as they ought to be that they
may endure the carriage the better
Thirdly whereas you should by
your tenure bake In these pastyes six
score herrings at the least being the
great hundredth which doth require
five to be put into every pye at the
least we find but fowor herrings to
be in divers of them
Fourthly the number of pyes which
you sent at this tyme we find to be
fewer than have been sent heretofore
and divers of them much broken
And lastly we understand the
bringer of them was constrained to
make three several journeys to you be
fore he could have them whereas it
seemeth he is bound to come but

There was a story told of one of the
worlds great vocalists singing as a
young girl at a private house She was
overwhelmed with praise By and by
says the Loudon News she came and
sat by an elderly lady who congratu
lated her on the way she had sang but
ventured to offer one or two sugges
tions The young singer treated the
hints with scorn and afterward asked
the hostess who the old lady was
who had dared to give her suggestions
Oh that was Mme Goldsclnnidt re
plied the lady And who is Mme
Goldschmidt Avas the next Impatient
query Well shes better known as
Jenny Lind said the hostess And
then the singer blushed for shame at
her disdainful reception of hints from

His Preference
Our new chef said the manager of

the patron who had deep lines between
his eyebrows Is a wonder I really
believe the man could take an old rub
ber shoe and make an appetizing dish
of it That so asked the patron
tapping meditatively with his fork up
on the steak that had been served him
Suppose you tell the waiter to take
this steak back and ask the chef to fix
up a rubber shoe for me Modern So

Newton and His Meals
Sir Isaac Newton was so much the
victim of forgetfulness and mental
blindness in ordinary matters that his
friends thought little of it On visiting
Sir Isaac one morning Dr Stukely one
of his intimates Avas ushered into the
parlor by a maid and informed that
her master was engaged upstairs but
would be down presently
The guest waited and time slipped
by but Newton did not appear The
doctor became restless and was on the
point of departing but decided to re
main After a long stay the maid ap
peared in the parlor with a cooked
fowl which she placed on a table in
anticipation of Sir Isaacs appearance
to eat his midday meal Stukely grew
more and more hungry as the smell
from the fowl was highly tempting
Finally as his friend had not come he
could withstand temptation no longer
and turning to the fowl he finished it
It was some time after that that the
scientist appeared and gazed at the re
mains of the meal with a perplexed
expression
I protest I had forgotten that I had
eaten my dinner he remarked You

phers are New York Tribune
