SMALLEST VILLAGE ON EARTH.
Fireplace Is Sixty Y ears Old and Has
0nIy TAxn Hnus..S


Out at the east end of Long Island, not far
are TO land some day, is situated what is
according to the New York World. 1t
consists OF two stone houses about sixty
years old, and arrogates TO itself the name
OF Fireplace. One of the old houses has
been occupied ever since it was built by
two generations OF an old Long Island fam
ny, who have dwelt there contented with
their quiet life, satisfied If they got their
mail and groceries from the Point once or
twice a week.
This little village became known as Fire
place in curious way. 1t is now over 200
years since Gardeners Island was bought
from the Indians by the Gardiner ia mily for
ridiculously low price. The buyer and his
descendants lived there for many years,
coming to the mainland to do their shop
ping or to attend balls and parties in the
near by villages. When they came over to
Long Island to make any stay their ser
wants took the boat back to GARDENERS ISL
and until ii should be needed.
In the absence of any better means of COM
munication the family when they wished to
