The Hague being the seat of the Court, is the most fashionable city in the Netherlands or H|o1iand. To me tbe moat interesting pjae^ was the old palace, "Huis ten Bocsh," the House in tbe Woods, called ao on account of the wooded park anrrounding it. It is very amall and plain looking on the ootaide, rather auggeating to my mind an old Philadelphia houae, very simple in its architectural linea, and yet ao well balanced and aymetrical aa to be very pleasing in its effect.

I do not like to say "I told you so," but so far my predictions   about   plac¬ ing monuments on the   new   boulevard bold good.    When an application   was before the Village   Board to have   the city do this work, I said in this column a year or so ago that it would be a fine [thing   but it was   doubtful if the   city [ would do the work, in which   they had I no active  interest.    The   matter   was taken up with the city authoritiea. ai:d a promise received that the wurk would be   attended to. but that is aa far as it ! has got up to this time.

I don't know of anything much meaner, in our line of work, than for a

same time he publishes these items i about soinebodv else; and yet they will i not take the time or trouble to let us I know or send us in tho names of visit- j ors   or other such   information    which
they know would interest our readers. ! They merely keep (|uiet, and then find i fault because the news is not printed. ¦There is nothing fair aoout this.

I would   resuectfully suggest that   they
prevent   the trolley   company   flooding
the road every few days, washing away
what little dirt may stick to the stones

! The Brooklyn Eagle saya: "Presi¬ dent Hanse of Freeport has ; been commended in all sections Jof the county for the fine j police - organization he has succeed- : ed in building up in that village. I Prior to hia incumbency of the odice ' the members of the palice force in the ' village were dependent on political pre- I ferment for their positions, with the ! result that each succeeding slection I there were many changes. When the present executive assumed the duties 1 of his oftice he announced that the de- 1 partment would be placed on a firm 1 basis and that no changes would be j made without cause. He has adhered I to this policy strictly and the residents of the village areclaim.ing that not for years has the village been so well policed."
I would like to give President Hanse a little dose of "taffy" like thia, but aa a matter of fact the police depart¬ ment ia aa much dependent on political preferment as it ever was. and aa it always will be, until the positions are pot under civil service rules.
The preaent ofTicers can be removed and new ones put in by President Hanse as Chief of Police vithout any explanations, whatever, if he so de¬ sires.
"A member of the Elks who does not want hia name published aubacribed to The Owl an ordered it sent to the Elka' Club House, also stating that The Owl was the only local paper thought worthy to be aent there by a member."
The above item from the Rockville Centre Owl ia comical. In that issue they had a colamn and a half of Free- port news, and by actual count there were 13 miatakea in it. We have no objections to nor friends from Rock¬ ville Centre publishing Freeport new*, but think they ahould have left out this item until they got somebody to verify the other "newa " iteroa pnb- liabed at tbe aame time. 1

Matters of interest to and about tha firvoMO in our local department byH.E. P.
A regular meeting of the  Firemen'a
Day (. ;n,n.if.ee Wus held at the Engine House last Thursday evening, with all the companies represented, and the re¬ ports of fhe committees caused those present fo feel that the dsy will be a very successful one.
The (iremanic committee reported that both horse hose and "hand" hoae contests would be held, with exhibition drills hy the Engine and Hook and Ladder Companies ; also individual lad¬ der climbing contest.
The athjctic^omniittee reported that the events hail been arranged for. There will be fourteen events, open to tiremen only, and as the department at the present time contains nearly 250 members, some good contests are look¬ ed for. To be listed on ttie program of the day's events, all entries must be in the hands of the entrance com¬ mittee, Hilbert R. Jolmson or H. E. Pearsall, on or before Saturday, August 31.
The prize committee aaid that the idea of a "home tournament" which was to be wholly fir the benefit of the local lireinen, had struck a responsive chord among the merchants and resi¬ dents, and that a number of valuable prizes had been received. Gold, silver and bronze medals will be presented in the variuus athletic events, with a point trophy to the company whosa members scure the largest nwmber of points.
A. James Crunley, of Hose 1, re¬ signed as a member uf the committee and James W. Fitzpati ick of that com¬ pany was elected to fill the vacancy.
The officials \sho have so far agreed to serve are: Judges Frederick I'.en- nott, Hempstead; Charles DeL'ip, Roosevelt; George Ebeling, Lynbrtjuk ; Frank Cotte, Baldwin. Timer - Charles Russell, Bellmore. Starter, David B, Todd, Hempstead. Meas¬ urer—Alexandi>r D. .Murphy, Freeport.

Hemp- stearl and Roosevelt, and the ex-chiefa of the local Department.
The committee in charge of firc- manic evtiiits for Labor Day have de¬ cided to have suitable hangers erected for the harneaa in the horse hose con¬ test. This will do away witb the farcical procedure of having the har¬ ness lying on the ground when the signal to start is given.

The minstrel show given by Tommy Van's Minstrels at the Colonial Satur¬ day evening was one of the best of ita kind, and had a number of especially good turns. The house was fairly well filled considering the warm weather.
