1 Exploding Cigar Causes Stir
' Tiie llemp'Ur-ad Town Boaid i.e;;ln nlug on Ai»rll « will hold its meetings on Tnetdays, depariing from a cuslon. which has been following for more than twenty years. The meellngs have heretofore been held on Mon- daya. A reaolutlon changing the meet¬ ing day was passed on March 16. The last of tbe Monday meetings was held yesterday.
hi the absence of Supervisor Hiram R. Smith, Justice of the Peace Ed¬ ward T. Neu was chosen as chairman of the meeting. In a communication to the board County Superintendent of Highways William Seaman, ex¬ plained that a bridge over a brook on Jerusalem avenue, which was the sub¬ ject of a complaint from the State authorities a week ago, had been thor¬ oughly examined and found in a dan¬ gerous condition. The latter recom¬ mended that the bridge be rebuilt at a cost of 1800, and that the span be increased to eight feet from five feet. Tbe town authorilies appropriated 1400 for repairs to this bridge, upon the recommendation of Seaman and Town Superintendent of Highways Robert Brower, a week ago and ue- clined yesterday to reclnd their action. They authorized Brower, however, to proceed to rebuild the bridge, and when the appropriation is consumed the matter will be considered further. Had it not been for the fact that a newspaper man was made the butt of a practical joke in which a loaded butt figured, the meeting of the Town Fa¬ thers would have lagged woefully, i ne fact that cigars were in evidence caused no little e.xcitement. Former Justice Wallace, who Is said to have taken several degrees In the T. W. Aasociation, Limited, of Rockville Cen¬ tre, was responsible for this unusual condition. He passed cigars—thert were four—about among the newspa¬ per men at the meeUng. The fact that It was tbe Judge who thus generously offered the banded Habanas, was suf¬ ficient to arouse the suspicions of his >(rlends. Several declined in good grace.
It was a small man who accepted the last and largest of the smokes. He lit and fuffed vigorously about tbe room at the same lime as much con¬ cerned with the generosity of his fel¬ low journalist as with any of the im¬ portant matters before the town trus¬ tees. Then the durn thing exploded, it did, and everybody laughed—except the small man who had been smoking IL The joke was appreciated, although it was a Utile in advance.
Several oyster and clam planting li¬ censes were granted and the board adjourned. '

In accordance with ii.-; tar sighled policy in the manageineni of the af- ] fairs of the village of Rockville Cen¬ lre, the Board of Trustees a,t a special niet.-ting last night let a contract for the niunlcipalille's supply of coal for j the year, taking advantage of th.^ low ' jost of the coiiimodity at tliiH neafson. There were nine bidders. W. P. W. Haff received the contract. His low figure was 13.5:1 per ton tor 2500 tons or more. In anotlicr bid lie quiitpd a price of $3.58.
The other bidders for Uic coal con-
.New York, $3.C0; B. H. Youngwing, New York, 13.50; W. H. Hui;hes. New York, 13.60; Whitney & Kemmerer, Now York, 13.53; Watkins Coal Co.. New York, ?3.60; Harry Blinn, Rock¬ ville Cenlre, $3.95; Sanford & Talbot, New York. $3.60 and Fred I'otts & Co., $3.70.
The trustees set April 9 a.s the date on which they will begin the assesa- ment of property within the incorpor¬ ated limitations.

The machinery for which bids will he ask¬ ed on April 19 wlli bo paid for out of an aiipropriation of $16,000 voted at the recent election.

A summary ot ihc report given by Ur. W, A. iayton. District Superinten¬ dent, before the KOHsioii of the New Y'ork East Conference at Moiinl Ver¬ non, N. Y., concerning the progress of the Methodist Episcopal churches of Long Island is asi foilow.s:
"Babylon has Improved its Sunday School building by the exjiendlture of $500. Baldwin has siienl $200 most advantageously upon its property. On November 9, we had the pleasure of dedicating the new $8,000 church build¬ ing al Bellmore. Brldgehampton has spent $2.'i3 in palming and olher bel- lermenlH. Brook haven has redecorat¬ ed Its churches, introduced electric lights and other changes costing $300. Center Moriches has paid $100 upon Us debt and spent $255 upon other im- provemenls. East Hampton has ex¬ pended $500 upon its property, and with the help of the Home Missionary and Church FJxtension Society has re¬ duced Its debt $800. East Moriches has continued its forward movement by expending $700 additional upon its property, and In addition had paid $300 upon Us debt. Freeport has cared for it schurch buildings by an expenditure of $500. (!ood Ground has paid $500 upon its Indebtedness and will son be free from all liability. IsUp had made Improvements aggre- gatin nearly $1,000. Lawrence has paid $500 upon its indebtedness. Rock¬ ville Centre has paid $600 in similar manner. Roosevelt has erected a flnt! chapel at the cost of $2,000. SayvlUo has made a wise expenditure of $300 in church betterment, and ha."? liajj a gracious revival. ' Soulhaniploii lias spent in improvements $2,800, and has $8,600 additional in cash and good sub- scription.s toward a parish house. Westhampton has gieatly added to the ; comfort of its pastor and wife by an i outlay of $150 upon its parsonage." i
'AiB ministerial appointments will be | made public tomorrow, the closing day ! of the conference. There will be the , usual number of changes, but It is believed will not effect the churches In this community. The Revs, Saul O. Curtice, of Freeport; George E. Bishop, of St Marks,Rockville Centre; George Adams, of St. James, Lyn¬ brook; E. O. Tree, of Roosevelt; Wil¬ liam I. Bowman, of Baldwin and Mar¬ tin Olsen of Seaford have all received official calls to their respective churches.
The Rev. O. A. Jordan, of FVeeport, who baa been filling the pulpit of the Valley Stream church for the last six mon the baa declined a reappointment.
Frankfurter, Sauerkraut and Hum¬ or With Birch Beer—Think of it
A "Birch Beer Social" erroneously designated as a Dutch Supper was giv¬ en by Fraternal Council, R. A. just a week ago tonighUiii Fraternity Hall. Frankfurters and sauerkraut v, ere served in large (luaiilities, the lloor was covered witli sawdust, the twenty waiters wore big false noses, there were Dutch doings and Dutch coffee was served. But there was a total absence of "suds."
To say that the absence was not felt would be to stretch the truth. To be sure no one mentioned it, so numerous and varied were the other aimise- inents.
It was Regents Night at the Lodge. The artistic invitations were artistical¬ ly made, as was the iiighly plea.sing program. There were cabaret tubles about the hall and the walls were hung with pictured advertisements for Gunning Whiskey, John Brown Beer, etc. The enlhusiastic gathering to a man smoked clay pipe."? and Pitsburg stogies.
In the entertainment Spiegel's Ju¬ venile butch Orchestra rendered pop¬ ular and unpopular tune.s and "Ed." Spiegel sang a celebrated Dutch ditty entitled "Est Bas Necht Ein Garten Hiis'.'" wliich is said to mean some¬ thing about ce.lehrities. Henry J. Raymore, spoke-and sang and H. S. Covert' of Seattle. Wash., told some original stories and whistled to the aimi.sement of every body.
IA the end of the excitment when the birch beer was mostly goue, John D. Gunning presented silver watches lo J. S. Sumner, Paul Anderson, S. P. Shea, II. A. Bacon and Fred Peterson as prizes in a recent competition for menibers. Albin N. Jolin.son received two watches, one for his cood wife.
To Reside in Rockville Centre .Mr; itnd .Mrs. Charles Southerland, of Central Park West, New York City, win occupy their new home on Lenox Road, Rockville Centre, permanently about .\pril 15.
Miss Emma Bedell i l'"uiieral services over die reiiiaiii.- ot Miss Emilia Bedell, daufchler of Mr and Mrs. Jordan Bedell of Bakl-.vin. i who died Thursday, weie held Sunday afternoon at her late home on Central avenue, the Rev. F. W. V.irney of the First M. P. Cliurch, Lynbrook, olli' iat- ing. Miss Bedell was 30 years of age and had been in i.rior health almost since childhood. Her remains were taken lo (ireenfiold Ceiietery, Ile'iip- stead for interment.
Bang off for Washington F. St. John Bang of East Rockaway will leave toinorrow for Washington, D. C, on a hurried trip to the Capital where he will visit (UiiiKressman L<i- Ihrop Brown. His departure is con¬ sidered signjiicant from a political standpoint.
