"Raleigh's Lost Colony." A Myth of the North Carolina Indians.
There is a poem written by Misa Sallie Cotton entitled th'e "White Fawn" which gives in poetry a myth of the North Carolina Indians concern¬ ing "Raleigh's List Colony." The story not recontcd in history is this;
Manteo, a young Chieftain of the North Carolina Indians seeks tbe hand of Virginia Dare, the granddaughte^r of Gov. White. To keep Virginia true to her English lover and to protect her from any wild schemes of the Indians, she is transformed into a White Fawn, Manteo, who still loves her, beseeches that she will guide his tribe anil sue consents, Wanchese, .Mantco's brav¬ est warrior, takes this as a trick of the English and unbeknown to him kills all the settlers. Later, while Virginia's lover is in America .searching fur the Lost Colony, he is my.steriouKly changed into a White Buck. It is with this part of the story that our ))antomine and Bong cominences. While tho braves are on a hunting exjiedition the Chief kills a White Buck, the lover of the White F'awn; which evokes her wrath. Dances are given, fires made, and songs sung, beseeching her p' rdon.
This myth will be given in paiuo- mine and song on Friday evening. May 12, by the M. E. Sunday School class of H. W. Smith, with assistance from other classes and friends from Now York City, at l:i5 Sinith Street.
Several interesting features will be Indian dances and songs to tbe sound of the "tom-tom;" Indian baskets, blankets and bead work; the making of fire by the old Indian process of rub¬ bing sticks together, a process known only* by few in this present age.

The Young People's Conference for the I'resby tery of Nassau will be held in the Presbyterian Church on Satur¬ day, May 6, at 10 a. m. Kev. W. J. Leverett, of Hainan, China, who is the young people's miaaionary, is expected to address the meeting. There will he two otherc speakers, one of whom is Mrs. M. J. Gildersleeve of the Wom- ans' Board of Home Missions.
The following item will interest many of our readers ac()uainted with Dr. Stiehler:
Dr. Stiehler's Appointment.
The Rev. Frederic Stiehler, formerly pastor of the Babylon M. E. Churuh, who was originally assigned by the re¬ cent conference to the United .M. E, , Church of Winsted, Conn., was after¬ ward sent to the pastorate of the Creenpoint M. E. Church, where he was given a cordial greeting at last Sunday's services. There was quite a mixup over the change of the Kev. .Mr. Steihler from Winsted to Greenpoint. The Re^. A. F. Campbell had been in Greenpoint about a year, and had been assigned by the conference to return. While he was out of tuwn visiting he received a telegram stating that he had later heen assigned to the Beek¬ man Hill M. E. Church in Fifty-eighth street, Manhattan. His displeasure at the change was augumented by that of hia former parishioners of the Tab¬ ernacle M. E. Church, which had affili¬ ated with the Greenpoint Church, many of whom said they would withdraw tbeir memberahip. It was no fault of the Rev, Mr. Steihler,-but the result of a rule laid down by Bishop Nuelsen that where churches had consolidated neither of the former pastors would be returned. It is believed the Rev. Mr. Steihler will be able to straighten mat¬ ters.—South Side Signal.
School Notes
F. H. S. is still waiting for public o|jmion to rise in favor of a gymnas¬ ium.
A basket ball game is being ar¬ ranged between the Senior and Junior girls. Miss Vail is manager of the Juniors while .Miss Baker attends to the interest of the Seniors.

The Interscholastic Speaking Con¬ test held at Huntington on April 2H was well attended The first prizes in declamation and recitation went to Frank J. Liiughlin and Marion Marsh, respectively, of Hempstend. The sec¬ ond prizes in declamation and ri'iMtii- tion were awarded to Edward Hoyce and Beatrice Vail, respectively, both of Freeport. It is of interest to note that the schools on the south side of , the island only were successful in win¬ ning prizes. Great honor and credit is due Miss Glenn Kaymond, who traineii both .the Hempstead and Freeport speakers. The schools composing the association are Huntington, Glen ('ove, Hempstead and Freeport.
Prize Speaking Contest
Hempatead won both first prizea at Huntington last Friday evening, with Freenort a close second, in the prize s|)paking contest of the Nassau-Suffolk Prize SpeHking Association.
The contestants from Hempstead, Froeport and Glen Cove were accom¬ panied by big delegations ot rooters, and they were loaded with school yells and songs, and vented them.
Miss .Marion Marsh, of the Hemp¬ stead High, and her school mate, Frank J. Laughlin, were declareii ¦ the winners, Misa Marsh recited "The Wild Olive Wreath," which from its title was presumed to he a sentimentii! bit. Far from it. however, and Miss Marsh was a winner from every count. Mr. Laughlin gave J. M. Thurston's "Plea for Cuba," which helfied to waken Congress and the country when intervention in that island was felt ne¬ cessary. He did it in a way seldom heard from a schoolboy.
Miss Edna Beatrice Vail, of P'reeport High, to whom secoi;d honors were awarded had a dillicult selection, "The Judith of'64," Edward Diiak Boyce, alao of Freeport, who got the boys' second prize, was backed as the winner by many. "Mr. Traver's Last Hunt" gave him a chance for a clever bit of mimicy and acting, and he accepted it and did it well.
The other contestants were .Miss Pearl Proctor, of Glen (^ove. who gav- "As the Moon Roae;" Miss Nettie M;iy Carll, of Huntington, who recited "The Dixons Prepare for Rich Guests;" Philip Snuyder, of Glen Cove, in "The Charge of Company A;" J. Ellsworth Adams, of Huntington, who gave in a spirited manner, one of Col. Roose¬ velt's "good citizenship" talks.
Dr. McLachlan, principal of the ('ity Training School for Teacbera, at Ja¬ maica, was chairman of the judges, the others being Avery W. Ski: ner, In¬ spector of State High Schools at Al¬ bany, and Dr. Albert Leonard, Super¬ intendent of Schools at New Rochelle. In presenting the $20 gold pieces, the first prizes, and the f 10 gold pieces, the second prizes. Dr. McLachlan spoke briefly, commenaing euch contests, de¬ claring that they create new ambition in the contestants, and cited instances where winners in auch events that he knew of have forged tj the front as orators.
A ffrogram of muaic was given dur¬ ing the evening, including a piano duet by the Misses Dorothy (Jouter and Laura Kissam, mixed choruses, and selections by the "Scrap Iron Quar¬ tet," the .Messrs. C. R. Trainer, Rus¬ sell Irwin, Crifton Sansmis and August Giilow.
The Brooklyn Timea don't help Freeport any when it makes the abso¬ lutely untrue statement speaking of robbei'ies at Rockville ('entre:
"Tbe records of robberies in Ocean- side, Baldwin and Freeport is not far behind chat of the Centre."
There haa not been a robbery in Freeport outside of a few sneak thieves and "pipe dreams" in the last two years, so far as I can remember at the preaent time, with the exception of tbe Starr residence. !

Just a word now about those laying out those new roads: We are prepared to put up an awful howl if Pearsall Avenue is nnt fixt and fixt pioperly and a cunnection with Main Strret pro¬ vided. This is one of the iddcr streets of the village, and one of the most neglected and at the sinie time much travelled when in coiiilition for travel¬ ing at all.
Incidentally the name of the street has nothing to do with this comment and I llo not own any property in that vicinity.

Somo peuple wonder why I speak of the ap(>uintment of A. 15. Wallace as Chief of Police of our village. I'here are several reasons two or tlue*' will suffice.
In the first place, .Mr. Wallace is or claim to be the manager of a paper in a neighboring village, which does not try to boom our village. Atthe last electiun his pa wrote the only com¬ ments on village appropriations, op¬ posing all but for the lire department, which he was in favor of because Archie rode en a fire truck and ho wanted a stronger one for him.

The village Board has fixt the pay for police work at 3(1 cents per hour, which is low enuf, but we will wait till the bills come in before making any curnment on that score.

There is a poem written by Misa Sallie Cotton entitled th'e "White Fawn" which gives in poetry a myth of the North Carolina Indians concern¬ ing "Raleigh's List Colony." The story not recontcd in history is this; Manteo, a young Chieftain of the North Carolina Indians seeks tbe hand of Virginia Dare, the granddaughte^r of Gov. White. To keep Virginia true to her English lover and to protect her from any wild schemes of the Indians, she is transformed into a White Fawn, Manteo, who still loves her, beseeches that she will guide his tribe anil sue consents, Wanchese, .Mantco's brav¬ est warrior, takes this as a trick of the English and unbeknown to him kills all the settlers. Later, while Virginia's lover is in America .searching fur the Lost Colony, he is my.steriouKly changed into a White Buck. It is with this part of the story that our ))antomine and Bong cominences. While tho braves are on a hunting exjiedition the Chief kills a White Buck, the lover of the White F'awn; which evokes her wrath. Dances are given, fires made, and songs sung, beseeching her p' rdon.

Smith, with assistance from other classes and friends from Now York City, at l:i5 Sinith Street. Several interesting features will be Indian dances and songs to tbe sound of the "tom-tom;" Indian baskets, blankets and bead work; the making of fire by the old Indian process of rub¬ bing sticks together, a process known only* by few in this present age.

The Young People's Conference for the I'resby tery of Nassau will be held in the Presbyterian Church on Satur¬ day, May 6, at 10 a. m. Kev. W. J. Leverett, of Hainan, China, who is the young people's miaaionary, is expected to address the meeting. There will he two otherc speakers, one of whom is Mrs. M. J. Gildersleeve of the Wom- ans' Board of Home Missions. The following item will interest many of our readers ac()uainted with Dr. Stiehler: Dr. Stiehler's Appointment. The Rev. Frederic Stiehler, formerly pastor of the Babylon M. E. Churuh, who was originally assigned by the re¬ cent conference to the United .M. E, , Church of Winsted, Conn., was after¬ ward sent to the pastorate of the Creenpoint M. E. Church, where he was given a cordial greeting at last Sunday's services. There was quite a mixup over the change of the Kev. .Mr. Steihler from Winsted to Greenpoint. The Re^. A. F. Campbell had been in Greenpoint about a year, and had been assigned by the conference to return. While he was out of tuwn visiting he received a telegram stating that he had later heen assigned to the Beek¬ man Hill M. E. Church in Fifty-eighth street, Manhattan. His displeasure at the change was augumented by that of hia former parishioners of the Tab¬ ernacle M. E. Church, which had affili¬ ated with the Greenpoint Church, many of whom said they would withdraw tbeir memberahip. It was no fault of the Rev, Mr. Steihler,-but the result of a rule laid down by Bishop Nuelsen that where churches had consolidated neither of the former pastors would be returned. It is believed the Rev. Mr. Steihler will be able to straighten mat¬ ters.—South Side Signal. School Notes F. H. S. is still waiting for public o jmion to rise in favor of a gymnas¬ ium.

The Interscholastic Speaking Con¬ test held at Huntington on April 2H was well attended The first prizes in declamation and recitation went to Frank J. Liiughlin and Marion Marsh, respectively, of Hempstend. The sec¬ ond prizes in declamation and ri'iMtii- tion were awarded to Edward Hoyce and Beatrice Vail, respectively, both of Freeport. It is of interest to note that the schools on the south side of , the island only were successful in win¬ ning prizes. Great honor and credit is due Miss Glenn Kaymond, who traineii both .the Hempstead and Freeport speakers. The schools composing the association are Huntington, Glen ('ove, Hempstead and Freeport. Prize Speaking Contest Hempatead won both first prizea at Huntington last Friday evening, with Freenort a close second, in the prize s )paking contest of the Nassau-Suffolk Prize SpeHking Association. The contestants from Hempstead, Froeport and Glen Cove were accom¬ panied by big delegations ot rooters, and they were loaded with school yells and songs, and vented them. Miss .Marion Marsh, of the Hemp¬ stead High, and her school mate, Frank J. Laughlin, were declareii ¦ the winners, Misa Marsh recited "The Wild Olive Wreath" which from its title was presumed to he a sentimentii! bit. Far from it. however, and Miss Marsh was a winner from every count. Mr. Laughlin gave J. M. Thurston's "Plea for Cuba" which helfied to waken Congress and the country when intervention in that island was felt ne¬ cessary. He did it in a way seldom heard from a schoolboy. Miss Edna Beatrice Vail, of P'reeport High, to whom secoi;d honors were awarded had a dillicult selection, "The Judith of'64" Edward Diiak Boyce, alao of Freeport, who got the boys' second prize, was backed as the winner by many. "Mr. Traver's Last Hunt" gave him a chance for a clever bit of mimicy and acting, and he accepted it and did it well. The other contestants were .Miss Pearl Proctor, of Glen (^ove. who gav- "As the Moon Roae;" Miss Nettie M;iy Carll, of Huntington, who recited "The Dixons Prepare for Rich Guests;" Philip Snuyder, of Glen Cove, in "The Charge of Company A;" J. Ellsworth Adams, of Huntington, who gave in a spirited manner, one of Col. Roose¬ velt's "good citizenship" talks. Dr. McLachlan, principal of the ('ity Training School for Teacbera, at Ja¬ maica, was chairman of the judges, the others being Avery W. Ski: ner, In¬ spector of State High Schools at Al¬ bany, and Dr. Albert Leonard, Super¬ intendent of Schools at New Rochelle. In presenting the $20 gold pieces, the first prizes, and the f 10 gold pieces, the second prizes. Dr. McLachlan spoke briefly, commenaing euch contests, de¬ claring that they create new ambition in the contestants, and cited instances where winners in auch events that he knew of have forged tj the front as orators. A ffrogram of muaic was given dur¬ ing the evening, including a piano duet by the Misses Dorothy (Jouter and Laura Kissam, mixed choruses, and selections by the "Scrap Iron Quar¬ tet" the .Messrs. C. R. Trainer, Rus¬ sell Irwin, Crifton Sansmis and August Giilow. The Brooklyn Timea don't help Freeport any when it makes the abso¬ lutely untrue statement speaking of robbei'ies at Rockville ('entre: "Tbe records of robberies in Ocean- side, Baldwin and Freeport is not far behind chat of the Centre." There haa not been a robbery in Freeport outside of a few sneak thieves and "pipe dreams" in the last two years, so far as I can remember at the preaent time, with the exception of tbe Starr residence. !

Just a word now about those laying out those new roads: We are prepared to put up an awful howl if Pearsall Avenue is nnt fixt and fixt pioperly and a cunnection with Main Strret pro¬ vided. This is one of the iddcr streets of the village, and one of the most neglected and at the sinie time much travelled when in coiiilition for travel¬ ing at all. Incidentally the name of the street has nothing to do with this comment and I llo not own any property in that vicinity.

The Hempstead League barn dance, the proceeds to endow a free bed at Mrs. Belmont's Hempstead Hospital, held in Sigmond Opera Huuse Thurs¬ day evening, was a big success. The Hruoklyn Eagle announced in big letters that the iig drawn for was won by .Misa Kuth Pearsall uf Baldwin. It is against the law to make such an annouiieeinent so we will leave that to papers big enough to laugh at the law.

In the first place, .Mr. Wallace is or claim to be the manager of a paper in a neighboring village, which does not try to boom our village.
