FACE COVERED WITH PIMPLES ALL HER LIFE Nov. 23, 1914: "All my life my face was covered completely with a mass of pimples, blackheads and blotches. I spent a lot of money on numerous remedies and treatments without ruc cess and no relief at all. I tried bo many things that I was afraid my case could not be cured. Kesinol ointment and resinol soap seemed to do me good right from the first. I used two Jars of resinol ointment and some resinol soap, the total cost being only $2.00, and this completely cured my case. My skin is without a blemish, and I am the possessor of a beautiful com plexion." (Signed) Mabell Ayres, Btitne Mountain, Va. Every druggist sells resinol soap and resinol ointment. Adv. Foraet That?

Oldestln I R 1 h Z- ; x v jVtvo-OdtiKf H f Bllop House A3 F the efforts of certain patriotic noddies are successful, the state of New York will purchase and preserve the historic Dlllop house at Tottenville, Staten hland. It is one of the few remaining relics of colonial times within the limits of Greater New York. Not only has this venerable man sion the distinction of being the oldest house In New York state, but within Its walls was enacted one of the most stirring Incidents of the Revolution. For It was here, on September 11, 1776, that Lord Howe, representing the British government, had an Inter view with Benjamin Franklin of Penn sylvania, John Adams of Massachu setts and Edward Rutledge of South Carolina, delegates from the American congress, then Bitting In Philadelphia. Upon the result of this meeting the fate of the Revolution largely de pended. About three weeks previously Wash ington's army had been defeated in the battle of Long Island and the out look for the American cause was dis couraging. It was then that Lord Howe, convinced that the colonists were ready to lay down their arms, proposed a conference on neutral ground and the Blllop house was se lected as the place of meeting. This was the only peace conference at tempted during the Revolution and its failure marked the parting of the ways between Great Britain and the Ameri can colonies. Story of the Conference. Some interesting facts concerning this momentous interview have been preserved in the Revolutionary rec ords. The delegates, we learn, spent two days in traveling from Phlladel phla to Perth Amboy, where Lord Howe's barge was In readiness to re ceive them. A gentlemanly officer of tha British grenadiers who met the delegates offered to remain as hos tage for their safe return, but Adams remarked, "This is childish; we want no such pledge." The other delegates agreed and at their request the officer embarked with them and crossed to Staten Island. Lord Howe walked down to the wa ter's edge as the barge approached and, perceiving his officer with the committee, called out: "Gentlemen, you nay me a very high compliment, and you may depend upon It I will consider it the most sacred of things." He shook hands warmly with Frank lin, whom he had known in London, and who introduced his companions, Then they walked up to the old house between the lines of grenadiers, con versing pleasantly together. For several weeks the house had been occupied by Boldiers, and wasj as dirty as a stable, hut one of the front rooms had been cleaned and with moss and green branches was converted Into a delightful bower. Here a luncheon of "good claret, bread, cold ham, tongues and mutton was immediately served." After this, the British commissioner opened the conference, expressing his attachment to America and declaring that "should America fall he should feel and lament it like the loss of a brother." With graceful ease Franklin replied iron ically: "My lord, we will use our ut most endeavor to spare you that mor tification." John Adams' Independence. Howe stated his position in flowing language, and asked the delegates if they were willing to lay aside their distinction as members of the con gress and converse as Individuals up on the outline of a plan to stay the calamities of war. They assented, Adams exclaiming witti his usual Im petuosity: "Your lordship may con sider me in any character you please, excepting that of a British subject." The conversation lasted about four hours, but It came to nothing, except ing that it convinced the patriots the fight for independence would have to he continued to the bitter end. Howe was found to be wholly devoid of au thority to treat with the colonists on the basis of independence, and neither party could make definite proposi tions or promises. They separated with the utmost show of courtesy, Howe remarking as he bade the dele gates adieu, "I am sorry, gentlemen, that you have had the trouble of com ing so far to so little purpose." The consequence of Mr. Adams' dis play of independence at this famous Interview was subsequently apparent when his name was published in a list of nnpartonable rebels. It must har ouse-'levlork 9m i it Looks Today been humiliating in the extreme to the pride and arrogance of Oeorge the Third's government to be obliged to' receive this proscribed rebel as the first minister plenipotentiary of the United States of America. House Built In 1673. The old house, solidly built of stone and brick in the early colonial stylo, faces Staten Island sound, and is about half a mile south of the pres ent village of Tottenville. It was built about 1673 by Christopher Blllop, sturdy English sea captain, who owned a small ship called the Bentley, which settled an Interesting dispute. In 1668 there was a controversy re garding the ownership of Staten Is land, and to settle it the duke of York decided that if the island could be circumnavigated within twenty-four hours it should remain in his jurisdic tion, otherwise it should belong to New Jersey. Blllop undertook the task of sailing round the island, and accomplished it within the 24 hours, thus securing it for the duke. In re turn for the service he was granted 1,163 acres at the extreme end of the island, which was called, after his ship, the Manor Bentley. The village of Tottenville, which occupies a part of the original estate, was originally known as Bentley manor. While living on his estate Blllop was appointed subcollector of the port of New York, but, like some office holders of modern times, he lost his position through "making offensive po litical speeches in public." In dis gust he retired to his estate, where he lived until 1682, when he sailed for England in his ship, which was lost on the voyage. His daughter, Eugenia, married her cousin, Thomas Farmar, who assumed the name of Billop. During the Revo lution his son commanded a regiment of loyalists, the family being pro nounced Tories. For this reaBon they were declared traitors, and at the close of the Revolution the estate was confiscated, and the Billops moved to Canada. After its forfeiture the property was purchased by Philip Van Cortlandt in 1794. Since that time it has through several hands, until only small part of the original estate re mains. The present owner is Charles Leland, a retired New York banker. Old Mansion Little Changed. The old mansion, which has weath ered the storms of nearly two and a half centuries, looks strong enough' to last another century. Little change has been made in it since it was built, Its quaint rooms still contain the deep embrasured windows, with small paned sashes, and curious cupboards, built into the walls. At the right of the en trance is the room where the Revo lutionary peace conference took place. The kitchen, in the basement, has a fireplace the entire width of the house, in which several logs of tree size can easily be placed. In the mid dle is a long crane of hand-wrought iron holding two enormous kettles, Under the main entrance there is a dark cellar, where, tradition says, Revolutionary patriots were confined and ill treated by the Tory Billops, Near the house are some oaks with gnarled trunks, looking centuries old, beneath which British soldiers once made their camp. Like all old houses, the Billop man sion has its fancied ghosts. One of these is said to be the restless spirit of a British grenadier, killed near by In a skirmish between loyalists and revolutionists. The other "ha'nt" is the spirit of Blllop, a beautiful bride, murdered by! her husband in a fit of jealousy about one hundred and sixty years ago. Her body was said to have been burled on the threshold, and, strangely enough a skeleton was dug up there some years ago and relnterred in the fam ily burial plot adjoining the house, Here may be seen several moss-cov-' ered stones, with half-oblltered inscrip tions, dating from colonial times.

"E-g-g-p-l-t," slowly spelled the boy. "Wrong," suid the commissioner, and pointing to the next boy: "You Bpell eggplt." "E-g-g-p-l-t," spelled the boy. "Wrong. You spell It." The next boy spelled -it tho same way, and the next and the next. "Bad spellers, these," commented the commissioner to the distressed teacher. "Why, Mr. Commissioner," Bhe pro tested, "they have spelled eggplt cor rectly." "They have not." "Will you let mo see the word in the book?" the teacher asked, tearfully. "1 am sure they have."

When Athens gave every fourth block to her children and youth for the gymnasium and the playground, she built bodies of silk and steel, and great men walked up and down bet streets in regiments, and her health bloomed in the orations of Demos thenes, and the essays of Plato and the marbles of Phidias. Just as soon as the race and the body began to deteriorate, Athens went to pieces. This has been the story, also, of Epbesus, and Corinth, and Venice. Newell Dwlght Hlllls.
