It wlll be hetter underatood by a brlef reference to eertato dtocoveri»a 'hat have been made ln the Controller'a ofllce through the care and ftdellty of Mr. Roherts. Date last fall, when lt was proposed to move the ofllce of the Contr.nller from the o'.d State bulldlne. where It had been for neariy sixty yeara. to the new Capltol, a search waa made among the rooms In the attic that had seldom been openel, and never thor- oughly lnvestlgate<l sn that any one would know what wns there. The search dlscloaed a large quan- tity of records of the Revoluttonary War, the prea- enca of whlch no one auspected The revelatlon atimulated further nvestigatlon, which. ln turn. Waa rewarded msst llberally. Controller Roberts then Invtted Colonel Slupard. of hls ofrke, to ex- amlne, arranc* and collate the m&terlal. Colon-1 Shepard waa well equipped for the work on account of hla long milltary .ervice. As the work proceeded the fteM tn'.arged and the matter lncreased TiII there have heen found data of aixty-fotir milltary or- ganto.attcns ln the Colsnlal and Contlnental servlce., besldes a record of four prlvateers that had been fltted out at the exr^nse of the State and for lts partlcular .ervice. There are, among the papera dlseovered, pay-rolis. muater rolla, recelpts for pay aml ordrrs for pay. all with the orlglna! slgnatures of the soldiers. There are ltota of penslcners, and appllcatlons for pensions, with lnterestlng proofs aad r.ffldavlts. The lista of penslonera cover a perlod of many years. There are also many dischartres, a number of them bear.n* the eignature of General Washlngton. Majiy of the records concern the famous "Grcen Mountam Roys," as well aa the eoldlers from the State of New-York. There are also many land "Rounty Rtghta." In one case. the purchaser of such "Rlghts" from the Boldiers had aecured enough of them to entltia hlm to locate 21,000 acrea in the "Chemunf Distr.ct"; and he dld so loca:c.

Recorder Goff told the counsel not to be foollsh, but to go ahead and ask cpues- tlons. The lawyer took an exeeptlon to the Re- corder'e rullng. The Recorder then direeted Mr. McLaughlln to ask the wltnwss about that alleged confession.

More advantageotia daya on which to send the little ones away from tba clty could not have been eboaaa. The dlfference between the clty and the country was great, ta- deed. The country must have been a veiitable paradtoe to tircd little tanaflMnt sufferers on theae daya. On Monday 1CJ chlldren started on thelr traveU. A party of twenty f..r Afton. N. Y.. and eleven for Sloansvllle. N. V left the city ln the mornlng by the same traln. The Afton chlldren are lnvlted by several dlfferent famliles. and the undcrUtklng la under th" speeial leadersh.p of Mr«. II. A. R«ne- dlct. A dellgh.ful vlsit h;.s been planned for them.

They were on their way to an ldeal boys' vacatlon. S. W. Sturgls has klndry lnvlted them to ihe Groton School Cnmp for a two weeks' vlsit, and arrangements ha. l«een made ta gtve them a taste of the klnd of life BB aetlve boy, ar.d espeeially a clty boy, would take the keeneat delight in. The fourth party of flfty girla, for thls season, started for Tenafly. N. .1.. alco on Monday. On TllBBday the thlrd party of thls summer foi Falrfleld, Conn., conslsnir.g of slxteen chlldren, was sent out. '¦Wdnesday mornlng was ma:k"d hy the depart- ure of three bands of Fresh Air chlldren over the New-York ContraL The flrst. a party of twenty- oti". was for Rutland. Vt. They wer.- uivlded when they arrlved there, a* ,~ome were lnvlted to Pittsford. and som>- to Bhrewabury, l.exldea the on»s for Rutland Th" aupertntendlng of tbe whole thing hns been ln the hands of W H. Fuller, of Rutland, and the people of Rutland «'ounty hava nlded hlm well. No palna have Wen spared to make the undertaklng a mccess. About an hour later a party of eleven ttarted foa I'nadllla. N. Y.. and another party, made up ol twelve little gtrls, was aent out ta Krankfort. X. Y. Mrs. Frank P.rkins has attend"d to the lnvltlng ol tho latter chlldren. Th.y arera a forlorn und tlred lot, and sadly ln aeod of the plea.sant vacatlon that la ln store for tbeaaj, A notable party left ln the aftcrnoon for Romu- lus. N. Y. It was compoeed of thlrty-one chlldren. Perbape some of them "an no longT be called chll¬ dren. Thls is the twi Ifth yearty party for Romulue. from Tho Trlbune Fresh Alr Fur.d. nr.i some of them have been lnvlted there every BUBMnef from the begir.ning. Many and lastlng are the frlend- ships that tbe dty vtaltora have fonned there. Mrs. C. M. Vall has arrange.l for th.-ir lnvltutlon e»< h year, and the number points to the success of the enterprlse. Many people do not renlize what utterly wret((b*d homes and deenerate rtrcumstances most of ,the Fresh Alr chlldren are taken from until «ome care- ful lnvestlgatlon ls made. These m the facts aa reported concernlng a small party that waa sent out a little whlle ago They are given without tur« ther comment: "Eleven of the chlldren had a parent that was atck jr dtaahtad The fatheru of nearly all of them were drlnklng men, ttrui the mothers were oblbjed to labor outslde of the^pme work to keep famlly and home togetber at nii. One little boys father was in prtaou for bratal treatment of his famlly; another had playod <he eoward and run away. leavtng his slck wife to .sup- port beraelf and chOd. Ir another famlly the father had a broken ankle. There were troubiaand sorrow for all. and movt of them were so poor they were often bungry." These are th" bare {.-. t.s, ar..| It ls a long reottal of human ntacry and w that they outllne. It ls a ble^ylng.
