NEW YORK'S ROAD LAW.
By Its Provisions the State Will Aid In
Highway Construction.
n splta of -oppositiuu, mostly from
rural districts, the state of New Yorit
dm plaoed a road law on the statnto
books.
Xbe measure ia not mandatory. It
carries no appropriation and there can
be no cost to tbe state nnless an Item of
$50,000 or f 100,000 be placed in tbe
enpply bill to carry out the provisions
tor state aid. it no county in tbe state
wants goemroada, then even this anurO'
$rtatioa-w4ll be returned to tbe treasury
oi tbe state.
In other words, the law will deoend
for its operation on the desire for good
roads. If a oountv wishes to take ad
Vantage of its provisions, the law di
recta that the board of supervisors Shall
adopt a resolution asking tbe state en
gineer for plans and- estimates on tbe
work of constructing certain improved
nignways. v.
When they get this information, tbe
superviBOH are to adopt a final resolu
.liou.cloolaring their intention of goiug
on with the work. This done, the state
engineer is authorized to take charge
and build the highway. Tbe state pays
one-balf tbe cost of the improved road,
tbe county 85 per cent and the locality
benefited 15 per cent.
The whole matter of acting under the
law is loft with each oounty to deoids
for itself. Tbe only mandatory section
of the bill is one providing that if a ma
jority of tbe property owners along a
highway petitions the supervisors for an
estimate of what it would cost to im
prove that highway, then tbe super
visors mast adopt a resolution asking
such information of tbe state engineer,
The seoond step is left permissive, and
the supervisors oan refuso to order tbo
building of new roads.
Tbe opposition to the bill meant aim
ply that a considerable) number of tbe
farmers of Mew York do not know wbat
a good road is, remarks the Mew York
Times. If tbey did, tbey wonld not con
tinue to believe tbot u dirt road mado
with a scraper was "good enough."
Nothing is good 'enough for traffic tbat
becomes a bog for several months in tbe
year. In every community in wbich
good roads have been introduced they
have been found to more tban repay the
expenditure upon them, and no farmer
who has used them would think of go
ing back to the old system or want of
system. A few sample miles of good
road in every qpunty would form an
object lesson tbat would convert tbe
community. Such an object lesson will
be provided under tbe new law, una
after that the cause of good roads will
take care of itself.

How to Improve the Hlahways at Small
Increase of Kxpense.
It is constantly being remarked -in
conversation and printed in interviews
and editorials in tbe papers that bettor
roads are very neoessnry, but that theju
are too expensive. The community is too
poor to do nnytbing, and there the mat
ter ends.
This need not be so, says The L. -A.
W. Bulletin. There ia bardly a town or
county in this country in - which tho
money now annually expended is not
sufficient to procure much better road
surfaces tban now exist, while a very
slight increase in expenditure would
make great improvements possible.
Road taxes must ' be paid in money,
and not in labor. Good results have
never been obtained by working out
road taxes, and it is not In tbe nature
of things that tbey should be. What
ever is to be spent on the roads must be
available for use in the employment of
experienced help under intelligent su
pervision.
Proper grading most be secured, hills
rednoed and fillings made until no steep
bill exists that the farmer must "load '
for" every time he hauls over the road.
The bed must be thoroughly drained
or a good surface will be impossible,
and tbe surface must enable the water
to flow off readily. Nothing ruins
road so quickly as water standing on it
or soaking into it
Tbe roadbed must Decrowned enough
to shed water and must be kept in con
dition by a system of regular repairs
and continuous oversight.
After good surface is secured by tbe
dot methods it must be preserved aud
maintained by permitting only tbe use
of wide tirea on heavily laden vehicles,
thereby continually rolling and improv-
ing It. '
Keataaky Bond, Law.
To protect and preserve tbe highways
try withdrawing them from publto use
1 at times when tbey are likely to be In
jured, by. heavy travel ia certainly a
aniqoe method of providing for tbe pub
lto welfare, but this ia what tho Ken
tucky statutes say :
i "Any corporation, company or indi
vidual who may, by nnosoal use of a
road, materially damage tbe same, shall
repair all damages caused, by tbe use of
soch road or roads. Tbe supervisor or
overseer of roads shall, at any time
when necessary, notify said corpora
tiotia, com panic or individuals of their
doty as provided in this section, and
akould the said parlies so notified fail,
ia reasonable length of time, to be
filed in tbe notice, to make soch repairs,
aofa parties shall be deemed guilty of
obstructing tha poblio roads, and shall
fee subject to a fine of not exceeding
I00, to be applied to road purposes."

LIEUTENANT HOBSON AND HIS HEROES,
Naval Constructor Richmond Pearson Hobsou, who, with his pullnnt associates, covrrert himself with glnry in the
sinking of tho Mcrrimue in tho harbor of HantiuKO, in a native of Alnhama and thu son of n bravo Confederate officer.
Ho is now in his twenty-eighth year and was graduated at tbo Naval nrudemy at tho head of bis class iu 1880. Ho en
tered tho construction corps, unci after a cruise with tho sqnudroti of evolution ho took n special coarse abroad at tho
National School of Mines laud tho School of Maritime fcicienco in Paris and received a diploma for distinction in naval
construction aud scioncn. His expert knowledge of nnvul construction lit tod him well for the duiigerous and difficult
task of sinking tho Merrilnac so that -tho vessel would provo effective in blocking tho Harrow ehuimel at SuntUigo.
Hobson is six feet hijb, of athlotio build, and so unnssnuiing and modest that bo would uover bo expected to perforin
such a deed of daring. Of tho heroes who accompanied Hobson, Rudolph Clausen, the cockswain of tho New York,
practically deserted his ship that ho might accompany tho Merrimuo into what seemed the very juws of death. The
other heroes are Daniel MontiiKUO of Brooklyn, Ocorgo Charetto of Lowell, Mu:i. ; J. C. Murphy of tho battleship
Iowa, Osborn Dciguan of Stuart, Ia. ; Francis Kelly of Glasgow and Gcorgo F. Philips of Boston. Montuguu is a na

TWO OF THE HEROES JOF THE WINSLOW.
The ofBcers and crew of tho torpedo boat Wlnslow on May 1 1 displayed tbe moat hemio courage In their darin '
ittack on Cardenas, Cuba. Tbo Wiiulow, under the command of Lientt-naut John II. BtTnadoo, with Ensign Worth
Baghy as second, steamed into Cardenas harbor in the fve of a heavy fire from tbo forts and rlpanish gunboats pro
tootv! by the guns of masked battery on shore. Tbe Winxlo"w, leading, was accompanied- by tbe Wilmington and
Hudson, and during the eagagwnaat bore the brunt of the fire, being bit IS time. After doing great execution npon
tho forts aud tbe Hpanish gunboats the Winslew was permanently disabled by a shot that went through tbe toilet
room. While the Winslow ,was helplessly drifting near tbo fortifications tbo gallant crew of the Hudson, fti-r snveral ,
efforts, succeeded in towing her beyond the range of tho murderous Hpanish gun. While Ensign Ilagley was on deck ,
With four men endeavoring to catch the towline shell exploded ore them, killing- Uawlwyand mwiii tlm cTuWrft
stantly aad injuring three others, so that tbey died soon afterward. At the same time Lieutenant Bemadin was bit ,
try piece of shell aad severely though not dangerously injured. This brief resume of an exploit that fur daring and
cool courage ha per hats) never been sorpoMK-d in the annals of naval history conveys a very iuai (equate iclnarof the '
hazards involved In this beroio episode. Both Ensign Ilagley and Lieutenant 1-rnadnn are natives of tbe south, the J
former having been born in Kaleigh. Ensign Bagh-y was tbo first man oo the American side In the present war who
lost bis life iu action. Only a few weeks before hia death be said to a comrade, "It is thd ambition of my life to have i
shot at Spain." 'lie bad that one snot, and it coot him bis life. When the plucky little torpedo boat steamed intji '
PbtHjtim on her perilous enterprise, the brave young ensign, a be had written hia mother, "enjoyed tbe excitement
felt that, but nothing more. " Tbe HpanUb gunboat lay temptingly near tho miarioa of the Winslow was to bring
her oat Hoddenly from a bidden battery on shore 'came a rain of shell and shot, and tho little vessel, torn by tbe
shot, plnnfrM helplessly. The guns of Ibex Winxlow ot back a thiit stream of shot, but she was not meant ft work .
like this. Then there came another volley from the masked batfry, and gallant Worh Ilagley had given bis life in '
tbe cause of Cuban freedom. Mayor Bnas of Baleigh broke tbe news of her son's death to Mrs. Bagley, woo is s ,
widow and an invalid. Half an hour before she was informed of his death Mrs. Bagley had received letter from bet
on, dated "On tbe Winslow, May 8, 1H9H, in which he wrote, "Oo not be nneairy shout tite. " Hardly bad she fin
ished reading his words, "I am In perfect safety," when the sad news came that the war bad claimed its first victim.
