But a short while ago they motored to Fairfield, where they visited the old homestead of Mrs. Millers grand¬ mother which they had not seen for over seventeen years. They called upon WUUam F. Randall, a cousin of Mrs. Miller, now a local Justice of the Peace. Having taken several pic¬ tures of the Moorehouse homestead ¦which, by^ the way, was the famUy name, they visited Judge Trumble. - Last week they visited Mra. Gilbert Randall, Mrs. Millers sister at Wad¬ ing River. "The trip," Mr. MUler Bays, "was a delightful one. Every Saturday we plan to spend the best part of tho day in trips of this sort. Nothing is quite so enjoyable as the renewing of oI(^ acquaintances and visiting relatives with whom you may not have been able to call upon for some time."

Following an eloquent address in Italian by John La Greca, President of the Association, Albin N, Johnson, former president ot the Board of Edu¬ cation, addressed the members and guests on "The Spirit of Columbus." He said in pari:
"Even as I greet your President and Secretary, so do I greet the rest of those who are present and have come trom the various regions of Sunny Italy, with its vineyards and olive grounds and its historic events and achievements.
"The good men do, lives after them and with increasing Influence blesse.? mankind, and that was the Spirit of Columbus, of Heart, Mind and Soul which impressed his ag« as it does ours. Some of the characteristics of this spirit were his studlousness, won¬ derful initiative, remarkable persist¬ ence, unusual courage and great rev¬ erence to God for hia guidance and as¬ sistance, which we may well imitate.

Following the exercises there was a display of fireworks and a dance, all of which was thoroughly enjoyed.
'INFINITE" OMNISCIENCE
Supposed Carman Interviewers Claim a Comer on All Know¬ ledge,— Of Ananias Ancestry
Omniscience, of course, means hav¬ ing universal knowledge, or knowl¬ edge of ail things. It has been gen¬ erally conceded that this infinite qiial¬ ity belonged to the Infinite. But the average New York reporter has cor¬ nered the entire output of all knowl¬ edge. He sits In a newspaper office thirty miles from Mineola and talks with Mrs. Carman, with no other aid than his lively imagination and a bountiful inheritance from his line of Ananias ancestry. He ask.s her ques- lions, and to save her iroubie, answers them himself. This is much the bet¬ ter way. The answers suit him then. He solemnly swears thai the inter¬ view is whoU/, positively exclusive, irianted to him and to him only. In this he is correct. No one but him- .self admitted; It could not be more exclusive. It is a fine example of one man power. A show where he is both actor and spectator.
The unqualified statement of Sheriff Pettit. Dr. Carman and Warden Wil¬ liam Hults, and every interested pe»>- son, that Mrs. Carman has positively not been Interviewed by any person, whatsoever, of course .goes for noth¬ ing! And yet their united testimony would probably have some weight be¬ fore an unprejudiced jury as against this wonderful reporter. And the ver¬ dict ot this jury would probably be that said reporter was a plain, un¬ mitigated liar, and any paper that would publish such stuff is not en- 'ilied to circulate even .umong mem- 'lers of the most pronounced Ananias "lub in America.

pending on the testimony of the tramp, bocked up by that of Cecelia Coleman, to win'his case against the wife of Dr. Carman, in whose offlee Lulu Bailey was killed.
It appears that there will be two new witnesses, both women, who it is contended, were in the waiting room of Dr. Carman's office when the fatal shot was fired. These women, who were fashionably gowned, left the house. It Is alleged, soon after the firing.
The office of the District Attorney managed to get trace of the women, and it now develops iu<»c n. w«» through their testimony that the sec¬ ond indictment was found of murder in the first degree.
The waiting-room is so located that i one could see from the chairs in it, to the office of Dr. Carman, and the I window through which the fatal shot | was flred Is directly In the line of j these chairs. . j
Mrs. Carman has been greatly! cheered of late by frequent visits • from the pastor of the Presbyterian ; Church, the Rev. Sidney H. Gould. !
Just what disposition the District { Attorney Intends to make of Bardes,' the insurance man, cannot B? learned. So far his testimony has been Irrele¬ vant to the casib, and in ro way jibes | with that of the other witnesses. !
It is expected that the courthouse | will be crowded when the case is called, but none wUl be allowed in the room except those who have seats. '<

They are a combination of such su¬ perior talent, and personal charm, that they cannot fail to delight their uuiience.

The absolute necessity of a new Town Hall for the Town ot Hempstead lias been more keenly felt in the last few months than ever before. Offlcials :ind citizens alike appreciate its trbso- leteness. Petitions wilh the necessary signatures, callng for a tl)ecial Town Meeting at the time of the November '•lection, have been presented and the "lection authorized.
.N'o one is perhaps so familiar wilh the undesirability of tbe present tructure as Corodon Norton, who has been a member of the Town Board for the past flve years. When inter¬ viewed by a representative of the Nas¬ sau Post he said: "To-day, that build¬ ing is a flre trap, a disgrace lo the citizens of the town aijd a never end¬ ing source of expense. The state ati- ihorities are likely al any time to compel the town lo build adequate iire-proof vaults to protect its records and public documents.
"There is now lying exposed, in the Assessors' room, maps and records that have cost the town a large amount of mon^y, and which has lak- ¦n ten years of effort and care to com¬ pile. If a fire sweeps the building now, another ten years must be spent lo gather these records and maps, beside the cost^.of replacing them.
"The present vault is inadequate to proisct all the records in their proper order, of the Town Clerk alone, to say nothing of other valuable ret. ords. There are fireproof vaults need¬ ed for tho records of the Assessors and the Tax Receiver.
"Tho building is not large enough. The frame, foundation and general .structure is in an advanced stage of decay. Shall we patch, repai^and add • msightly parts to the old building and have no satisfactory results for our labor and expense, or shall we, ¦he most wealthy town in the state of \'ew York, put up a modern fireproof building which will show those noble •.voiiien of a past decade that we ap- ireciato their efforts; that our pride in tlie old town is unabated and that ve are wortliy dtsceiidants of such niotliers?
"The new Town Hall should be built -othai the oflices nf all thi' town of- icials'mii;ht be centralized under the ono root. That would make it posni i)le to systematize and centralize lite work of the towns oflicials for towns interests and enable tlie people to iet in touch with the, offlcials and Iheir public records without an ex¬
tensive trip all about the town.
-"The assessed valuation of the Town of Hempstead is nearly 166,000,- 000. On the third day of November a proposition and appropriation call¬ ing for the expenditure of J75,000 to be used for the construction of a new- Town Hall, will be presented to the people. The bonds shall become due, $15,000 each year for five successive years, beginning with April 1, 1916.
"Now, in order to raise by tax on such assessed valuation the sum ol Fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), It would be necessary for each taxpay¬ er in the town who was assessed on the Assessment Roll of the town, to
CORODON NORTON
pay tlies um of twenty-two or twenty- three cents on each one thousand dol¬ lars ($1,000) of such assessed valua¬ tion.
"By a recent decision of the Appel¬ late Division of the Siipt;euie Court in the matter of Tax K<iali;'.ation as to the Town of Hempstead against the Towns ol North Hemps!i-ad an<l Oys¬ ter Bay. ilic 'lown nf llenip.stead was iiwardfd a fuvorable decision which will mean a neater of three hundred thousand dollars (.t;?00,000). Jhis fum' logether with tiie one hundred thoi.- unvl dollars ($100,000) now in the Sinl Ing Fund, will, at the time the bonds" of th( Town of Hempstead be¬ come due, be suHicicnl to meet the payment of all the liomlcd indebted¬ ness of the town, anil the intere.st which sliaii have accrued on such Sinking Fund, will bo more than the rieoplc have voted to he raised by lax for the cit'ction of this new Town Hail. Considered in this light and in connection with the facts above men¬ tioned, this is tho time when the pi'o- ple of the Town of Hinipslead h/ive reach^-d the fork of the road. They siiouid stori: <'on.'-:ider well before they mark tlieir cliarl on Novemli<.'r Hid, as to which branch of the fork they will travel."

There seems to be an inclination on the part of authorities lo deal some¬ what severely with oystermen. At least this is the complaint of those engaged in this line of Indi^stry. It seems they carried action too far at Northport.
