That having acquired it she

To Drop the Name "Sing Sing"

Sing Sing, N. Y, Dec. 1S.-This
place can't stand any longer the
ignomy Of being the place where the
chief prison Of the state of New York
is located. A public meeting will be
held here tonight to discuss the pro-
position to change the name to that
of Osslning, which is the name of the
township and is the old Indian name.
The Higgins Carpet Works of New
York wants to 60 there and will en-
ploy from $500 to 5000 persons, but
the name Of Sing Sing on their goods
would give the impression that they
were made in the prison. A stove
foundry makes the same objection.
Half the towns people disown the
place when they are away from it.
The business men also desire a change.
AS a name for the convicts' home it
is not appropriate, as convict does
not sing when he comes here, nor
while he stays, and seldom elsewhere,
after being here.
