:pjty Chiaf Smith, in charge, had ii:; s'ac:;:ns of water on tho blase, which while stubborn, did not threat¬ en at any time to get beyond control, although it was nearly an hour be¬ fore the top floor could bc entered.
Naturally most of the water found its waJr down through tbe offieea on the second floor, in the dental offices of Dr. Hammond and the law offlces jf Doiiglas C. Lawrence and Swezey & Wilson and to the banking rooms below, althoAh-i:he fire was confined to the top <^the building. The flre¬ men were dismissed at about 6:30 and the fire engine run alongside tbe building and the water pumpod from the cellar. The furnace flre .had not been extinguished and although some¬ what damp, the bank opened f6'r basi¬ ness Monday morning.
The cause of the firo wil! probably never be known. The janitress, Mrs. Frank Summers, stated to Chief Smith that she had been out of the building for a long time, attending Sunday School and knew of nothing which 2ould have caused it.
Chief Randall states in a'r.s-,vor ti¬ an inqnirj' that be believes the dam¬ age to building and contents wlM not exceed $5,000.

RED CROSS NOTES
(Official Contribution)
Th« meeting «f thc Frcev^^L Brunei: »f the Nassau County Chapter of the American Red Cross, held last week, was sadly notable in that it was the occasion of three resignations of im¬ portant workers. The branch will feel thc loss of each one. Mrs. Sidney H. Swezey, who has been the chairman for more than a year and whose term of office is not up until October, has been untiring in her devotion to tho strenuous duties as leader of this busy branch. Mrs. Swezey has been at the helm every minute and her un¬ selfish loyalty and enthusiasm have endeared her to all those who have had the pleasure of working with her. Her resignation was accepted with sincere regret at the meeting.'A nom¬ inating committee waa appointed to flll the vacancy and this committee of the following: Mesdamea William Wray, N. T. Cole, Olaf Magnusson, Misses Annie Eldridge and M. Connor will hold a special meeting Tuesday evening. Mrs. R. S. Barrie, chair¬ man of supplies, alao reaigned, which the branch deeply regreta, sa Mrs. Barrie has held a difficult office in a most efficient manner. The resigna¬ tion of Rev. Saul O. Chirtice is a loss to Freeport no less in Red Crosa than in the entire community.
The Surgical Dressings Committee reports having sent out 1,344 dress¬ ings and the work still growing. Three hundred and eighty-six hoapital gar¬ ments and one hundred and tliirty- nine knitted garments were sent to our soldiers last month. Two boxea of infants' clothes were aent over, be¬ sides the clothing for Bslginm.
The membera of the Red Croaa vill wear their uniforma at the Liberty Loan Drive meeting on Friday even¬ ing, March 6, in front of the Freeport Club.

On Friday evening last at the Coun¬ ty Court at Mineola, a jury gave judg¬ ment against John J. Bedell of Wan¬ tagh and Henry Spsrka of Seaford in favor of the Soathard Estataa for $145.00.
On October 22, 1916, s six cylinder Thomas car driven hy John J. BedeU, collided witb a car driven by Henry Sparks in front of the candy atore of M. Trombas on Merrick Road, Bald¬ win, and the Bedell car went over ths aidewalk and through the plate glaas window in thO Trombsa atore, mixing gasoline, grape juice snd candiea.

Olive Blanche MiHer, wife of Fran¬ cis Ware Miller, passed from this life on Thuraday, March 28, 1918, after weeks of auffering. The funeral w.aa held at her home on Central Avenue Easter Sunday aftemoon. The house was crowded with friends from many places, who came to honor bor, and to sympathize with her family. The room in which .she lay was linod with flowers, symbolic of her beauti¬ ful life.
Mrs. Miller is mourned by her h':.%- band, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. a- rad Schuman, a aister, MiiM Jeni.iv Katherine Schuman, and tb ers, Albert and Lieutfrinii; Schuman, of Baldwin, arrt Schuman of Brier Cliff, i'l scores of friends. The ac.'. condacted by her pastor, R'.' O. Lepley, of the M. E. Ch.irch, snd Bev. William D. Tuckey of Urooklyn, a former pastor and close pernor, il friend of Mr. and Mrs. Miller. The hymns, "My Jesus, as Thou Wilt," by Mrs. Sobie, and "Will There Be Lit-it at Eventide," by Mr. and Mrs. Thom¬ as, were mc-st appropriate and feoU ingly sung.
The passing away of Mr:r. Miller haa caused a griuf and sense of per¬ sonal loss that is widely felt, and moat particularly in the M. E. Church of which she had been a member sinca girlhood. She was an earnest work¬ er in every department of the church, Sanday School and Epworth Lesgrus, and active in every kind of work for the betterment of the community.
No l)etter eulogy of her could be said than contained in tbe words of Mr. Tackey: "All that ia good, pure, beautiful and true waa exemplified in her, and she was a aafe friend.'* Those who knew ber best loved het most, and the world is the bettsr for her having lived in it.
Mrs. Miller was one of the original members of the Millbuni Litersry Society, and a general favorite; ths meetings in her happy home sre red letter days in the history of the So¬ ciety, where she will be sorely missed.
Truly of her it may aaid:
"None kne^v hur but to love her;
None named her but to praise." A FRIEND.
