TO PUT HOUSE IN PRIMITIVE STATE
Restoration Of New York Struc¬ ture Will Be Of Intorost.
KIN GIVE UP PROPERTY.
Dyckman Farm House In Upper New York City Will Be Restored to Co¬ lonial Days' Condition—Only Dwell¬ ing In Manhattan Built In Accordance With Dutch Tradition.
New York.—Oue hundred yeara ago great herds of cattle hrowsed dally ou what has be<-ome the city's newest rec¬ reation siK)t—I)yck:iiaii Ilousir-^park. Owing to au arraum-nn-ut made by I'ark ComniLssloner Wurd the old Dyckinan faruihouse, which stands on this property ut Two Iiundred aud Fourth street aud Hroadway, will be restored to the sa;ue condition lu which it was iu colojdal days. .Mrs. Bashford De.iu iiud -Mrs. .Mexander McMillan Welsh, who have presented this house to the city, liave not ouly given the surrouudliig park, hiit huve agreed to improve it lu accordance with the plans (if the park department.
S(juie incidents which ligured have been furuisluHl to Coiuuiissloiier Ward by Professor Hashford Deau, whose wife, Mary Alice Dyckman, is oue of lhe park donors, I'rofessor Dean is curator of the collection of armor lu the .Metropolitan .Museum of Art. He lias beeu ut pains to produce Ihe pic¬ turesque und accurate account of the Iiouse and it.s Inhabitants, which fol¬ lows:
The ancient Dyckman homestead, which stauds ou a knoll at the ecyner of Broadway und Two Hundred and I'ourth street, is un(piestii'nubly the only n'luaining dwelling house on .Man¬ liattan Island built Ijy a 1 Hitch family iu accordance with the piist Dutch tra¬ ditions.
Times have gone by, and many (•lianges have occurred. The last of the family liearing the name iu tlie vicin¬ ity died recently lu the i>erson of Mrs. Fannie Blackwell Brown, widow of the late Isaac Micliael Dyckman and her¬ self of Dyckuiau descent iu severul Hues. Her two daughters. Mrs. Bush- ford Dean, who was JIary Alice Dyck¬ man, aud Mrs. Alexander McMillan Welch, who was Fannie Frederlcka Dyckman. lune as tlie list of the Klngsbridiie Dyckmaus decided to per- [ etuute the old Dyckman hous<,> In memory of iheir pareui.s.
The Dyckman liouse iu (piestlon was built at the end of tlie war of independ¬ eiice, about ITS."), as nearly as records i,'o. It was then that the family return¬ ed to Iheir |:iiuls after the perils of the war. Their ancient lioiiie. which had lieen built opposite the jiresent one, nearer the river, liad b<>en burned down liy the British. So a new house was liiiilt on ground which was soiiiewh.it liii;Iier and nenrer tne jiost road.
.lames Dyckman and Dr. Jacobus Dyckman were early graduates of Co¬ liinibia college ilSOIMSlli. lioth died young, one a lawyer and thc other ii distimruislied pliysiclan—he was health coniiiii.ssiouer of .New York, author and scientist. It was he who is snid to have obtained for ('oiiimbia collcLre when be was secretary of the old I'hilosoidiical society of this city the relics of Beuja- niiii I'rankliii whii-li It now has. .Faco- Ims Dyckman, sou of the builder of the house, was one <if tlie best kiwwn men in Xew York, long time alderman and a member of the constitutional couveu¬ tiou in 1S21.
It was .Iaci)bus Dyckman who took an especial liking to his young grand¬ son, I.'^aac Mk'huel Dyckman. which led ullimutely to his coming to stay In the KliiKsbridge household. He was then a boy of seven, the second son of .Facobus Dyckuian's daughter Ilannuh. who had marrleil S(|uire Caleb Smith of Yonkers. So his naui(> was uot origl- ually Dyckm.'lii. The Dyckman estate was .so large it reipiired great care In its upkeep. So it came alKiiit that Mr. Isaac Dyckman. llu> survivliur bachelor uucle, looked uHliii.ately to his nephew for help. .Vt that lime. It appeared, Mr. Isaac Dyckman had probably more real property in his hands than any other single property owiu^r of Manliuttun has had before or wince. -Vt his death hi 18»W it was found that his estate waa to be divided amons; his various nephews and nieces. His favorite nephew, however, received the major part, but with the proviso thut his name should be changed by tlm legisla¬ ture frwiii .Iaii:i>s Frederick Dyckman Smith to Isaac Michael Dyckman.
The latter dil int retain the house as part of his heritage. It was no longer as he remembei'ed It. and he had hlrn- ielf built a house in the northern part of the property not far from his uii- ole'.s. Iu fact, the old house hrtd chang¬ ed Inside and out, Kven the old cook, black Hannah, who wus half Indian and lived to be a hundred years old. had gone away—to the old Indian cem¬ etery formerly on the corner of Broad¬ way and Dyckinan street. Then, too, Mr. Dyckman found that the approach of a great city meant heavy assess¬ ments and taxes, when. In order Jp have parts of his tract develoi)ed, he shonid practii'i.li.v make people, pres¬ ents of his leaseholds. Indeed. It was this Jan Dyckman who devised for this whole region the farslghted plan of letting tenants have property for al¬ most nothing In arder that the future returns nilgbr be assured. One of his famous leases gave a tenant a valuable farm for nne hon a year for seven years!
NEVADA DIVORCE IGNORED.
Bridgeport Suit May Brinfl Adjudiea-
tien en Validity of Western Decree.
Greenwich, Conu.-In the superior court at Brldgeiiort before Jndge Case the many sWe Issues lu the divorce i»- tltlon of Rudolph Ernest Tlederoann against Gertrude Eleanor TIedemann of tbis place were disclosed on a mo¬ tion to strike out an alleK^ amended reply.
The real Issue of the ca.se wlll show the attitude of the Connecticut court on divorces Is.sued iu Nevada. Three years ago Mrs. Tiedemanu obtained a divorce in Nevada and was allowe<l custody of the child and aliiiKmy. Last March the husband sued for dlviTce, alleging de¬ sertion, paying no attention to the Ne¬ vada decree. He ne\er paid any of the alimony, it Is alleged, and now 'seeks custody of the child.
The amended rei>ly is that the Ne¬ vada divorce is not gocKl, because neither of the parties was a resident. Decision was reserved..

OYER 240 NEW GAME LAWS ENACTED BY U.S.
Agricultural Department Press¬ es Campaign ot Proiection,
Washington.—The deiiartment of ag¬ riculture has iii.-iuguratcd a vigorous camiiaiyn for llie protection of game under the federal law .ind is aiding the Aurious stales in canning out their stutut(\s.
More than U-lii new u::iiiie laws were enacted duriu;.; I'.ii."—a larger number thau iu auy prcviniis year e.x'cept i'.lll. l''orty-tliree states held regular legis- lativi.' sessions, an.l in all of these states except -Vrizoiia, liiiuKla and Ne- brasku some changes \ici-e made in tiic statutes protecting uanic 'i'he largest number <if new game l.iws imssed in uny one state was sixl.\nne. In North Carolina, but in Calildrnia, Connecti¬ cut, Maine, New Jersey. Oreicou. I'enn¬ sylvania and Wisconsin the number reuched teu or more. Several measures were vetoed, iiiclinlinir a ireiierui game bill iu Idaho, the tirst biii approiirlatlug the hunting license fund in Pi>iiiisylva- nlii. a bill protecting bears In Califor¬ nia and three sections of tlie game bill in WashiiiKton state.
A nuniber of bills were introduced for the purpose of huriuonizlug the state luws on migratnry birds with the federal regulations. In at least nine stales changes were made which brought the seasons Into substantial agreement — uuuiely, Califoruia, Con¬ necticut, .Maine, Michigan. .New Hamp¬ shire, Tennessee and West Virginia. In Illinois the .seasons for all migra¬ tory birds except coot ,iiid waterfowl and 4n Washington for the smaller shore birds were made to c()nforin wltli the regulations under tlic fetleral law.
Uniformity wus al.so secured by pro¬ visions In tile laws of Connecticut, Maine, New Mexico, .North Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin, prohibit¬ ing hunting between sunset and sun¬ rise.
