WOULD CHANGE TOWNS NAME
Citizens of Village of Sing Sing, N. ",
Petition Legislature for Name
of OssininE.

The citizens of the village of Sing
Sing, New York, has taken action at
a pbliuc meeting in regard to petit
tioning the Legislature to change it's
present name of Sing Sing to that
of Ossining. the name of the town
ship in which Sing Sing is situated.
Ossining is of Indian origin, as is
also that of Sing Sing. taken from
that of tribe of Mohegan Indians
known as 'Sintsinchss," who occupied
this locality in the early part of the
seventeenth century.
This movement is fostered by the
merchants and business interests of
the village, who have come to the
realization that the name Sing Sing
carries to the outside world no other
meaning than that of the penal in
stitution that is situated on the river
bank south of the limits of the vii.
lage proper.
While the census just completed
shows an unprecedented increase in
the population in the other towns in
Westchester county during the last
ten years, Sing Sing has decreased
from a population in 1890 of $3.50 to
population of 7,793, falling off of
Lab. This is due to the fact that
manufacturers cannot be induced to
locate at Sing Sing because their RI
walls in business will assure people
that their goods are made in Sing
Sing, and the purchasers will imme-
ditaely have the impression that the
goods are prison made and will not
buy them.

some one varying, according to the
wealth of the victim, from a full
grown detective to mere nurse-girl.
1t is literally true that practically all
the children of the very rich are
watched all the time. On the great
and lonely country estates that are
now so fashionable precautions are
redoubled.
The care of young Vincent Astor is
a good illustration. His father, John
Jacob Astor, has always private
Waterman on guard, night and day,
on his estate at Rhinecliff. His rooms
are in a wing of the great house
whose windows are heavily barred.
He has constant attendance by nurses
and tutors. The baby heir of the late
John Nicholas Brown-said to be the
richest baby of his years in the
worlds carefully guarded. So are
the sons of George Gould.
Precautions seem most needed in
the case of men whose names are
often in the papers. The quiet mil
lionaires of whom you never hear
stand in less danger.
The millionaires have as much to
fear for their children from cranks
as criminals. The most dangerous
child stealers belong to that class. A
genuine criminal of the best school
will not take the chances that crank
disregards. Women who have lost
children sometimes steal substitutes
from a wild desire to have child to

sense that meant anything, it would

Alfred is not the head of the fam

because he is not the oldest living

Vanderbilt. His brother Cornelius is

He is not the chief of the clan in

Vanderbilts are good husbands. Young
Cornelius is devoted to the beautiful
woman for marrying whom he was
disinherited. The elder Cornelius,
who died year ago, was man of

William X. Vanderbilt, though d.

has ever since been popular in New

give Mrs. Vanderbilt, who had tired
of him, chance to obtain legal free
dom. Up to that time he had been
the most sedate of husbands.

In this particular grade there is one
pupil vino has for several years never
been able to get beyond il, although her
work was as Jealous as any other; and
anticipating the same results of former
years. her feelings caused tears and
sobs to follow. as name after name of
younger and smaller children with high
averages were called. Sympathetic
chances at their large schOOlmate were
at every hand. The teacher noticed
the anguish of the child, and on being
told the reason, let a flood of happiness
in on that earnest soul, by presenting
her report, which certified that she had
passed her examinations. The tears
and sobs gave way to laughter, and
smiles of pleasure wreathed her face
while the sympathetic little school
mates with one accord broke 1.-THE rules
and Justify gave vent to their feelings
in cheers. 1t was beautiful and touch
ing scene, even though it was breach
of school rules, and we are pleased L
add, that the teacher very properly ig
nOred the offence, and after rappingfOl
order proceeded with the exercises.

Cutting Scarlet Glover for Hay.

The scarlet clover hay crop for this
season will be very fine, and some crops
have been cut this week. Many make
the mistake of letting scarlet clover get
too ripe; in which state it is more easy
to cure, but the quality of hay is not SO
good, as when it is cut early. For the
first time, scarlet clover and wheat was
sown together on a large scale for hay,
by farmers of this section. In this
shape scarlet clover will stand longer
and make good hay; this is necessary
that the wheat should head and the
grain partially form. If cut in this
state, scarlet clover is credited by those
who have fed it, as one of the most nu
tritiOus feeds grown in Delaware. Il
is also claimed that stock will fatter
quick on hay of this kind. Fed in thu
green state, there is nothing to equa
scarlet clover and wheat.
