Babylon, L. I.—As strange a story
as has ever been included In fact or
fiction has come to light here, with
the news that Mrs. Egbert V. Strong,
wealthy, beautiful and considered gen
erous to a marked degree, has a
daughter 20 years old whom the moth
er has refused to care for since birth.
The most amazing and mysterious
fact in the case is that nobody, not
even her husband, can conceive of any
reason for the strange abhorrence of
her only child.
Mrs. Strong is rated the wealthiest
woman among the permanent resi
dents of Babylon. Her home, in the
most aristocratic section, is a stately
white mansion, shaded by great trees
and surrounded by well-kept grounds.

gowns and her exclusiveness. Mr.
Strong, her husband. Is democratic
and popular. His,two steam yachts
are among the finest and fastest on
Great South bay, and the big gray
automobile in which he rides daily
with his wife is a costly machine of
high power.
For nearly 20 years the Strongs
have lived alone in luxurious ease,
leaving their home only to pass the
winters in Florida, seemingly a de
voted couple without a care. Ap
parently their one shadow was the
lack of children. Through all the
years Mrs. Strong has posed as a
childless wife, and her wealthy ac
quaintances have given her unstinted
sympathy.
Three times during the 20 years the
father has brought mother and daugh
ter together, hoping that natural af
fection, so mysteriously suspended,
could be aroused. But each time Mrs.
Strong drove her child from the home.
Twice in recent years Mr. Strong
has joined his daughter, declaring that
he would never return to his wife's
home without the girl. But both times
the wife triumphed and he returned to
her alone.
The few who knew the facts speak
of Mr. Strong as a kind man who loves
his rich wife and is powerless to with
stand her influence and commands.
Marion Goodale Strong, the daugh
ter, now 20 years old. lives In a family
devoted to her. She is now at the
Cornell hotel, in Trumansburg, on the
shores of Cayuga lake. There is noth
ing in the girl's appearance or person
ality to account for the mother’s
hatred. She is strikingly pretty, with
large brown eyes, delicately chiseled
features and petite, well-rounded
figure.
To Marlon Strong and all the world
besides the mother’s hatred is a mys
tery. No one can tell from what it
springs. To no one has Mrs. Strong,
so far as can be learned, ever at
tempted an explanation.
Mr. Strong, when seen at Babylon,
was overwhelmed on learning that the
family secret was out.
“I can not talk about my little
daughter," said Mr. Strong, greatly
agitated. “It would b*> useless for me
to deny the facts, but to make any
statement wotrtd only add to my
troubles.
"My daughter is as good and pure
and sweet a girl as there is in all the
world. Any mother might well be
proud of her. Yet my wife drove her

“AND THEY BUILT SUCH A HIGH [

Fallacious Finance.
If you had $250,425,623 to your cred
it In the banks, and you had notes or
bonds coming due, amounting to $63-,
945,460 on August 1, drawing three
per cent, interest, would you pay what
you owe, or allow the notes to run for
ten years longer? It would seem to
be a plain business proposition to pay
the notes and thus save two per cent,
interest. The above statement of the
amount of money on deposit in the
banks and the bonds due on August 1.
is the exact condition of the United
States treasury on July 17, but it is
stated that Secretary Cortelyou in
tends to allow the $63,000,000 of bonds
to run and still draw three per cent,
interest instead of paying them.
Those outstanding bonds were is
sued on August 1, 1S98, on the three
per cent. 10-20 basis, that is the gov
ernment can redeem the bonds on the
expiration of ten years, or can allow
them to run ten years longer. Those
outstanding bonds can also be refund
ed with new bonds drawing two per
cent, interest, so that instead of the
government having to pay annual in
terest of about $1,920,000 a year this
interest charge would be reduced to
$1,280,000 a year.
There would be no doubt about what
a business man would do under these
circumstances. He would undoubtedly
pay the bonds and stop paying inter
est. Hut the government finances are
evidently not run on business prin
ciples, but appear to be manipulated,
for the benefit of the national banks
or some other Wall street favorite
who owns the bonds.

Railroads end Politics.
Are railroad rates to be raised on
August 1? The railroad managers
claim that either rates must be in
creased or wages reduced to make
both ends meet. The Henublican noli
ticians say that to reduce wages dur
ing the campaign might lead to
strikes and the defeat of the Kepubli- !
can ticket. This puts the railroad
managers in a dilemma that it is diffi
cult to extricate themselves from, for
they have decided it is for their best
interests to elect Mr. Taft, and they,
therefore, do not wish to embarrass
the Republican managers by reducing
wages, so ii is said they will increase
railroad rates about ten per cent. The
business Interests are much opposed
to an increase of rates which would
naturally lead to a decrease in traffic.
All this shows the necessity of a di
vorce of railroad policies from Repub
lican politics, or both will suffer. The
people are in no mood to indorse the
Republican candidates if they are to
pay the freight, and the railroad em
ployes will oppose, even to the point
of a gigantic strike, a reduction of
wages while the cost of living is still
so high.
It is difficult to decide the merits of
the controversy, but however it is set
tled it would seem to spell disaster to
the Republicans.
The Pestiferous Tariff.
Another reason why the Democrats
should keep still about the pestiferous
tariff Is that they haven't a chance to
revise it. Within a week 50 fearful
Republican papers have pointed that
out, not with viciousness, but In a
spirit of kindliness. After they have
given this sage counsel to the Demo
crats, they always fall to discussing
the hopelessness 0f Democratic pre
ponderance in the United States sen
ate. That is always a happy Repub
lican argument. The senate stands
now immutably committed to the
crime of Dlngleyism, so the Democrats
might as well indulge in no displays
of peevishness over the tariff.
It's all right to “put your shoulder
to the wheel," hut bo sure the whee]
tB%toered in the right direction.

A cornitlete Invoice of everything be

s estimated that the Apache herd of

ite largest single herd in Oklahoma,
'ne of the interesting things in coll

lere are very few dry cows. This

According to the usual custom of

re retained—no cows being sold until
