The appellant has, prior to , these charges, borne a ijood reputatioti. i The charges were investigated by the ' School Commissioner, who was attend- ' ed by legal counsel fur the appellant and also by counsel for a citizens' com¬ mittee adverse to him. M.'iny witness¬ es were examined and inueh testimony taken. I have read all of this testi- , mony—some of it twice-^-and have I heard counsel, in the effort to come to i some confident conclusion as to the I truth or falsity of the allegatioiiH againet the appellant. The testimony lof many witnesses points towards his j culpability on more than one occasion, I and the testimony of several witnesses

John N. W. Crow.ll, who has been hiy reader at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church here for some time past, has left this church and taken a similar position with a church in New Jersey and his jilace is beintr temporiirily filled by William Lander of HrookyIn. Hev. Harwiok A. Lollis of .Mineola is the priest-in-char^re.
There seems to be a j^eneral com¬ plaint that the j;rade examinations in the public schools were rather ditlieult that year and that the results will not reach the usual standing'. The mark¬ ing of tlie papers in the local school will probably be completed by the last of tliis week or the first of next.
The truck house of Alpha Houk and Ladder t'ompanv was filled to the doors Monday eveninj^ on the occasion of the rendition of the three-act comedy, "Billy's Biin^ralow," under the aus¬ pices of the Ladies' Guild of the Si.

About .*50 has been realized from the enter¬ tainment and the c;ist li;is been re¬ quested to reproduce it at .Mineola. »i The scene is laid on Cedar Island in the summer time and in the tirst act Hilly Middleton aiul his wife are seen hanging pictures iind ollierwise ar- ranuiiif,' their i-ew bungalow, prepara¬ tory to entertaining a house party, which was to form tlu re.

Francis tairwcather SpauKling, Dorothy announces her engagement to Spaulding, the Englishman. I'eggy. who is Mis. Middleton, Inter elirislens the bungalow.
The next jict finds them in a, very trying position. It rejireHenta the foi lowing morning when they arise to discover that the' sirvaiits have taken their depaiture aid liaye utilized the only boat in so ilnin^'. The act cause^' laughter from .-tart to finish when Francis dcidi s to milk the cow, Gor¬ don to gel the breakfast. Colonel mflkes the coffee, Teddy makes an oiiifllelte and Kitty succeeds in making plenty of trouble. The ('olonel, a great fisherman, catches a very large fish and saves the lives of the party, who aro iiow marooned on the Island.
In the last act which represents the « end of the week, after being fed en¬ tirely on a fish diet for several days, during which a storm rages and not a boat IS sighted, a few potatoes are found as well as some corned beef.
