university has broken the license ~
"the widows" saloon, to the sorrow ~
many a youth who went there for sar-
saparilla and soda, and perhaps for
glass of beer. Mrs. Clements Is tbe
name by which the law knows the
woman who ministered to the thirst ~
undergraduates at Riverside drive ana
One Hundred and Twelfth street. The
place which she maintained was filled
with liquors, some mild and others
riotous. and it became the fashion for
students who aspired to manly WAYS
and defied maternal authority to bold
ly ask for beer over "the Widows" bar
The interests which have been cor.
cerned In the general welfare of the
community banded together under the
title of the Morningside and Riverside
association. Frank l.. Mayham repre-
sented the organization In it's fight for
the publication of the region which
covers Morningside heights.
The association objected to the pres
ence or Little Coney island, and con-
quoted vigorous campaign against,
the group of saloons within its bonn
daries. The authorities of Columbia
university were especially DESTROYS of
having the saloon kept by "the widow
closed. They alleged that, while they
and That While her saloon was no worse
than many other saloons, they consid-
ered that the place was entirely too
popular with the younger element az
the university. Evidence was obtained
which bore out the contention of thu
authorities OF Columbia, and the ar
guments OF Mr.. Mayham prevailed.

Picnios Amid RockfelIers.
The news that John Brisben Walker
had signed preliminary papers with V.
X. krepps, superintendent of the
'Tarrytown, White Plains and Mama
roneck Railway company, agreeing to
lease his property at Kingsland Point
to the company for mammoth picnic
ground and terminal for the trolley
line, has caused a sensation In larry
town.
The plans are to turn the old Kings
land homestead into fine hotel, erect
bathing houses, large summer the
alter, carrousels, swings and dancing
platforms for excursionists.
The Kingsland Point property Is the
choicest piece Of land In that section.
and Is bounded by lands of John d.
Rockefeller. William Rockefeller, Mrs
p. b. Monroe, the Sleepy Hollow ceme-
terry and the Sleepy Hollow company
The trolley line Is to be extended from
Tarrytown north to the Point, and II
Is expected that 1t will become the
most popular resort along the Hud-
son.
The property contains more than one
hundred acres. The land is to be put
into frst-class condition. Electric
launches will take parties for trips on
the Hudson, and dock Is to be built
for excursion boats. The final papers
are to be signed on Sept. 1.
The old Dutch church, of Sleepy
Hollow Is near by the Point, and SER
vices are held there every summer. The
Sleepy Hollow cemetery, where Wash
ington Irving's remains lie, Is only
across the street. It Is believed that
John d. and William Rockefeller will
not be pleased to have picnic ground,
with it's horde of Sunday excurslonists,
so near their magnificent estates.
