It led to the burning of Pavonla and Hoboken, the devastating of Staten | Island and, indirectly, helped shape Now York's future, The city and much of the State that now go by the name of New York were then sort of a Dutch province, known as “the Now Netherlands,” Petrus Stuyvesant—"Old Silver Leg"—was Governor, And ho ruled the stolid Dutch with a rod of fron dipped in pepper. i Hot tempered, honest, stubborn, tyrannical, he quarrelled with all classes | Of people and for years governed as the dreaded, respected, uncrowned king of Holland's American possessions, New York City was bounded on the north by a twelvo-foot wooden stockade that ran from the Hudson to the East River and had two cannon mounted on ft. This stockade was called the “City Wall.” The lano that ran alongside of {t was later known as Wall street, | _ A little to the north of the wall and running almost parafiel to st was a brook where the maidens of the cty washed clothes, spreading them to dry on a Mttle Hillock. The path beside this lane was known aa the “Manage Paatje,” or Masten Lane, There were barely fifteen streets in the whole town; the chicf thoroughfare being the Perel strat (Pearl street), on which stood the jail with Sts stocks and anilows in front, and at whose foot was the ferry to Brooklyn. A fond running northward to Stuyveaant's bouerte (farm) was named the Bowerle Lane and Sater became the Bowery. ‘The better houses had gables and were of yetlow and black brick, Cespets were almost unknown, the bare floors being sanded. There were few clocks or watches, their places being taken by ¢he eundials and hour glasses. People cose at cock-crow, dreakfasted at dawn and were in bed by nine. There were oo idlers. Every one worked and—in a sow fashton—worked bard. Hendrik Van Dyk's house, surrounded ty @ peach orchard, wes at the west side of Broadway, just below the present Rector street.

As a means of expressing | emotion, he declares, this is al- most the worst ever invented— ig the lowest piace’ only to a chorus of foghorns. Evidently the! steam calliope and the tugboat whistle are far outclassed, in hisyestimation. As for the syncopated “rag” vocalization that is whijoped up on festive occasions by an enormous claque that includes setically the whole university, that is to Harvard’s sensitively at- | tuned President a dreary and barbarous “blurb.” | “He never had the nerve to say this directly to an undergraduate | gathering, but got it off in a roundabout way in an address to a Bos- ton}convention of music teachers. That was prudent, for we do not believe any full-blooded Ameri- assemblage, collegiate or otherwise, would take this anti-cheering p ition in good part. It might arouse vociferous demonstra- tiowkg, but they would be hostile. | » . The truth is that organized cheering is a fixed American insti- tution. Not only that, but at the present stage of the game there is @ special run on “slogans.” For instance, the Hoosier metropolis, Indianapolis, now forging ahead toward the goal of a 500,000 popula- tiop,jn 1920, is so anxious to have a good hattle cry, “something of 4 ringing quality,” that a Slogan Committee has been organized to off, rizes for suggestions. So far, about 45,000 slogans have been ‘ination in, yet no one of them has been found quite up to the mark. ‘They ring all right, but they don’t exactly “reflect the truth” about Indianapoli: : the Hon. William F. Sheehan of Buffalo couldn't get along without his personal slogan, which is “Upward and onward.” Chi- cago keeps up the shout, “I will!” even though she hasn’t, as yet.
