 the name of the little island in the harboi where the statue of lii erty is to be placed will be on every ones tongue. For nearly two centuries it has borne its present name, but the former spelling has been changed, probably through the blunder of a map maker. Says correspondent
 As Bedlow's Island is about to become very famous by reason of the great Bartholdl statue to be erected on it, it would be well to have the name spelled correctly The name is Bedlow, after an old New York family who once were owners of the island.. It IS o,lly within few years that it has acquired the name of Bedloe, a name of disgrace associ- ated in English history with that of another scamp, one Titus Oates. The proper name, Bedlow, should be restored to the island be- fore the great statue is dedicated.
 "Your correspondent is quite correct in his criticisms" sad Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby yesterd to Tribune reporter. ''The island was named after my fathers great-grandfather, William Bedlnw. My father. who died about twenty years ago, was William Be,llow Crosby; his grand father was William B, dlow, 2d, and he was born ill 1720."
 'sWas the island ever inhabited !'
 ssYes. think William Bedlow, ST., lived there about 17OO.
 "When was the property sold ?"
 ''Some time before 174O.
 "How did it come to receive its present name ?"
 Doubtless some map-maker, with less knowledge Of American than English his tory, who did not know of the B diow family, changed the spelling on his own authority. "-N y. Tribune.
