To Celebrate tho Annlvcrsnry of the
Battle of Bunker Hill.
Up In Buffalo on Tuesday, June
17, tho anniversary of the battle of
Bunker Hill will bo observed by the
Buffalo chapter, National society,
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, by marking tho graves of five
Revolutionary soldiers who are bur
ied at East Aurora. Ritual cere
monies are to bo conducted, and the
event is to bo fittingly and appropri
ately observed not only by members
of the Buffalo chapter, but sister
chapters have also been invited to
participate.
Bunker Hill Dny In Wayne County.
Honesdalo chapter Is new, but its
members are all workers, and they
are busily engaged along the various
lines of duty and research that are
opening up before them.
To-day Is Bunker Hill day. It will
scarcely be observed to any great
extent by the Daughters this year;
but next year conditions will be dif
ferent, and, undoubtedly there will
be some sort of set programme of
exercises.
As ground work for the Daughters
we would say that there are sever
al graves of Revolutionary soldiers
in Old Wayne. E. A. Penniman,
who for years has had charge of the
matter of seeing that government
tombstones for deceased soldiers are
procured and set, has through that
line of work, and from other sources,
gathered much valuable information
along these lines, and on Friday last
he gave the writer some points
about tho graves of Revolutionary
soldiers in Wayne county, and here
they are:
Michael Grennell served under
General Israel Putnam, and when
the news came to New York City
of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence he assisted In destroy
ing the statue of King George. He
was born at Saybrook, Connecticut,
March 2, 1752, and died February
12, 185S, at the remarkable age of
10C years. He was buried in, or
near, Aldenville.
Henry Holdren is buried in the
old M. E. cemetery at Honesdale,
but his grave is unknown. He died
on April 25, 1854, at tho age of 101
years.
Itusscll Spencer is buried in the
Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
Hurry Jlumford Is buried in tho
Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
John Bunting Is burled In Beth
any. fnbcz Rockwell is buried in tho
old M. E. cemetery at Honesdale.
Col. John II. Schcnck Is buried in
tho cemetery at Old Canaan Corners.
.Josiiili Smith.
A List of Revolutionary Pensioners.
The following list of Revolution
ary soldiers in Wayne county, who
drew pensions for such service was
found in Mr. Penniman's collections:
John Bunnell,
Eliphalet Kellogg,
Abraham Frisble,
John Griswold,
Jason Stanton,
Gideon Woodman,
Silas Tyler,
Jeremiah Osgood,
John Andrews,
John Bennett,
Jesse Morgan.
Abigail Seely,
Elizabeth King, ,
Sarah Benjamin,
Ethal Jones,
Rachel Weston.
Now, with this list as a basis to
work from, wo doubt not that many
of the graves of above will be prop
erly located and marked. Also, tho
mention of the names will lead to
uncovering facts pertaining to tho
Revolutionary War period that will
bo worth the effort of the mem
bers of Honesdale Chapter in giv
ing them proper classification.

tho timo is not far in tho future when
tho Filipinos will produce all tho rico
needed by tliemselves, according to
George E. Anderson, oonsoil general at

Philippine business men. Is affecting
tho archipelago's rice Imports through

"Tho production of rioo in the prov
inces of Fungastnan and rjoova Eclja
alone last year amounted to 10,210,000
bushels, and tho local authorities there
claim that production can be Increased
indefinitely by immigration and Irriga

est factor. Irrigation works aro being
