Call 31 brought out the denartment at about 10 a. in. Monday for a fire on the roof of the barn on the property of C. Milton Foreman at the corner of Main Street and Merrick Road, in the lot adjoining Conrader'a delicatessen store. The tire waa caused by a piece of liurning paper, from a bontire in the yard, dropping on the roof of the barn, where it set tire to tbe shingles. The blaze was extinguished before the ar¬ rival of the department, after burning a small hole in the roof. The damage will not exceed $10.
Asst. Foreman Connor of Engine No. 1 is very anxious to go to Hemp¬ stead tournament to compete against the Hempstaed steamer at the tourna¬ ment next June. He says the Free- port engine was not fairly beaten by Hempstead and that with five wins and two defeats he is not content to stop after being declared defeated. The sentiment is shared by a number of the members of the company and the steamer will probably be taken over.

The Colonial Theatre held its open¬ ing Saturday evening and there was an attendance of about 600 people.
The proprietors, Forrester & Moore, have installed a new up-to-date moving picture machine and the pictures they are showing are very clear.
Mr. Forrester says that they will have nothing but the cleanest nf pic¬ tures and will cater particularly to the women and children.
They will also use their own theat¬ rical experience to get good acts here for the Saturday vaudeville.
Starting tomorrow they will give a vaudeville entertainment every Satur¬ day evening.
They call particular attention tn their adv. in this issue.
Last Thursday evening, at the rcgu , lar meeting of the employees of the Nassau & Suffolk Lighting Co., inter¬ esting lectures and demonstratioi.s wre given by Mr. Gilbert of the Flic- tric Weld Water Heater Cn.
.Mr. Gilbert shnwe I one of his cnm- bination boilers and heaters which was so cat away that all the internal parts were clearly shown. This type of water heater is one which is contained in the lower part of the boiler and be¬ ing so located is entirely surrounded by water which takes up all of the waste heat and increases the efficiency of the heater. A particularly nice feature is its compactness, which is quite an ob¬ ject to builders who desire tn utilize all least space possible.
After the meeting a "Dutch" lunch was served and it is needless to say that this part of the program was at¬ tended with much nleasure by all thoae present.

"THE PIPE." Rich and mellow in flavor. It keeps peace in the family. The young and unexperienced wife forbids her hus- ^ band to smoke. This manifesto makes him miserable and her, too. ,0n the advice of a man of experience, who she consults on what ails her husband, she removes the injunction and all is well. Boys, take your Wives to see "THE PIPE" at tbe Cryatal Theatre Satur¬ day. They will get a whiff of common aenae, have a good time and it will pro¬ mote the general welfare and happineas of tbe family. It

Don't firget the annual school meet¬ ing next Tuesaay evening. Come out and sho.v your interest in schoolmat- ters, and exuress your opinion on this important part of our government.
" v\'h.en we would do trood, evil in- teitions are ever imputed tn us." Here's the way the Ihnoklyn Eagle re¬ viewed tny honest cninineinladnn of Pre-^ident IIat:se's work;
The editor of the Nassau County Re¬ view is not over cordial in extending this rather "stiff backed" compliment to l!a(itaii! James Hanse, the new presi¬ dent of I-reeport Vil age:
"Tlie Review owes no obligation to \"iilar.e Piesiufiit Hanse, i:nr he to us, but wo wiil make the prediction that as administrator nf village alfairs he will be one of our most successful presiilcnts if he continues to devnt'e as mucli time to the interest of thu village as he has ever since he was electeil."
I am reque>ted to unnouneo that the varmur committees of tlie Village Board will meet om hour before #ach legular llnard meeting (nn the 1st and ¦'.j-d Friday evening of each niniitti) and that any citizens having matters to present to tlie committer.- are cnr- oially invite 1 to  attend.
It is now the season for the Spring adverti.~er who advertises "farms at Bellmore adjoining Freeport and Mer¬ rick, 111 miles from Niiw^^drk (itv linn."
Did you make your contribution to help along fix up the work of the park at the depot yet?    If not, why not?
We have a number of cards giving; fire call districts which we will be pleased to send on application. On the old cards the type waa so small I coukl not read it without my glasses nn, so I had snme lari^i r mies printed fnr i'ou and me.
.\ suggestion is made, which I pass on, fnr it is gnod, that in fixing up the budget fnr the present year tbe Vil- latie Board nf Trustees put a suni for properly oiling our Peekskill gravel roads, which would help much in keep¬ ing them in good condition and at a small cost.
Ira II. liaker has favored us with a post card received from his brother in San Francisco. The card is issued fol¬ lowing a resolution by the Board nf Supervisors of the city and county of San Francisco; "for the sole object of saving from bitter disappointment, many thousands of workingmen, who recently came to California to find profitable employment. The resolution aaya tbat there are more workmen available than can possibly be used for the firesent time, or for some time to come.
At the annual school election on Aaa. 7, 1906, Alonzo Foster, speaking of Samuel R. Smith and Henry L. Crandell as members of the Board of Education, said:
"Wnen men attend to their work as faithfully as have .Messrs. Crandell and Smith they should be elected to office for life."
While lots of my readers do not apree with the action of the Board on several matters during the past year, most of them will agree witb me that we will never have memlcrs of tl,e Board of Fducation who will more cap¬ ably and honestly attend to the many duties of the ollice.
They are entitled to the thanks of tho district for thoir years of fathful service.
.My Rockville ( entre tnnternporary, The (iwl, in answer to my statement in this column that the Kockville Cen¬ tre Village Board of Tru.'-tees refused me information regarding salaries of employes, makes this "hoot^"
"We do not krow who "I" is but we presume it is someone who wished this information for personal business use. Thia being the case we see no reason why the Village tjf Rockvi lie Centre should maintain a bureau t<; dispence free information to p ople who wish it for private business. There are better ways in which to have the village em¬ ployees use tbeir time."
This comment by The Owl was evi¬ dently intended to win them favor with their Trustees and I hope it does ; tbey may get that official appointment next week. But it would not take any long- , er to "dispence" tbe information I askt for than it did to pass the resolu¬ tion refusing it.
By the way, Bro. Owl, in your next ; column you speak of a road the State I ia to build, 35 miles long, between I New Hyde Park and Great Neck. I Pleaae get out your geography and note the diatance t>etween tbeae two points. I think yoo find it about 35-100 milea.
