ESOPUS AN INDIAN NAME.


ward River, Parker's Secretary Gayb.
Esopus. N. Y, July so.-There has been
a lot Of guessing as to the origin Of the
name Of this village. Most Of the guessers
seemed to think that Esopus was either q

the man who didn't write his\fables In
slang.
Arthur cCausland. Judge Parker's score
tary. has been looking up things about
Kingston and its neighboring towns. and
his findings seem to establish the Indian
origin Of the name.
Kingston, which is nine miles north OF
here, was called Esopus long before q singls
settler came to the place. Kingston's
first name was Atkarkarton an Indian word
meaning smooth water. Records OF 1910
In the State Library show this. In 1858
the town was called by the Dutch Esopus,
Groote Esopus, Sopus. Seopus. sopers.

ment that this was Indian for THE Pleasant
Land but he probably was wrong. II
is more reasonable to believe records In
Esopus, in all its various forms Of spelling.
was derived from two Indian words, ojs,
going backward. and sepus, river.
The Rondout River flows north into the
Hudson at Kingston and that probably
Interested the Indians. who could not quite
understand why river flowing north should
empty into river flowing south.
This argument that the peculiar junction
OF the rivers was responsible for the name
Esopus is strengthened by the use, in Eliot's
Indian Bible, OF the word sasoeposue' for
.backsliding,' the translation being needed
In Jeremiah ill.,, 9.
Kingston lost the name Of Esopus In 1853
and took its present name from the family
seat Of Gov. Lovelace's mother, Kingston
l'Isle, near Vantage, the Berkshire town
where Richard Croker lives. The name
Esopus was then applied to q large and
vaguely described territory around kings
Park and Ulster Park seized upon the name
for itself alone.

LUBECS ALCOHOLIC FERRY.
Thirsty Maine Men Get Drinks In SPITE OF
Uncle Sam and Prohibition.


BANGOR, Me-. July so-In Lubeo's in
ternatonal alcoholic ferry the United
States customs officials and the deputy
sherifis who are trying to enforce Maine's g
prohibitory liquor law coniess that they
are up against q scheme that can't be
beaten.
Lubeo is a little seaooast town away
down toward the Jumping OF place. a.
Maine people call the easterly tip end Of
the State, and directly opposite, separated
from 1t by narrow strait, Is the island Of
Csmpobello, part Of tho province Of New
Brunswick.
Recently . wave Of liquor law enforce
ment struck Lubeo. and when the town
became really dry certain enterprisine
Yankees conceived the idea Of establish
ing a saloon over on Campobello and ferry
good scheme, and it worked.
Any man who had the price Of Q pint,
q quart or lone drink could get free fer
rage, and the business at once began to
boom. The traffic grew and prospered,
until finally the dories and leaky sailboats
launch which could 60 fast and carry Q
good many passengers.
Competition arose. and other saloons
were established on the island, with other
ferries to carry customers to them. "A
sea voyage and a chance to buy the best
imported whiskey for 10 cents q drink
were the Inducements held out, and all
the thirsty men in that part Of Maine focked
to Campobello for their health.
The Lubeo white rbboners became
aroused and called upon the customs
officers to put a stop to it. The customs
officers Investigated. but decided that
they could do nothing. Any man had
the right to take drink wherever he could
find it, at home or abroad, they said, and
80 long as the voyagers to Campobello
brought back their liquor in them, and not
on them, they were within their rights.
So the international alcoholic ferry
nourshes gayly, and all the prohibi tionists
can do is to stand on the shore Of dry Inbeo
and wish that some Of the wabbly cargoes
may be spilled on the way home.

Country. which has also become very pop
ular among Yiddish readers.
The recent death Of Theodor Herzl,
founder OF the Ziouistic movement, brought
deep sorrow to the poets heart, as he re-
garded the work Of Herzl as the recreation
OF his race. As always In his time OF trou-
ble, he has turned to his muse for relief.
and is now at work upon poem expressive
Of the sorrow Of Judea for her dead son {.
The poem is now almost completed and
will be published probably next week,
II is written In ringing, sonorous almost
Homeic blank verse. and when sung in
the full, rich, voice OF the minstrel, weird
with strange haunting minor notes, thrill
ing and throbbing with the last hope OF a
nation. full OF rich. Oriental melody. pierced
here and there with the high, wailing notes
OF a lament, It produces an effect upon the
hearer not soon to be forgotten.
or course It is impossible to give an
adequate translation OF Yiddish poem In
English verse, but 30 far as the idea Of the
poem can be rendered into English words
1t is something as follows:
Tears pour from my eyes. foods Of tears.

In the dark exile came the light OF q star.
And we hoped that Il should lead US out Of

But suddenly extinguished was the light.

THE JUDICIAL CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT.

BY reference to our supplement,
among the proposed constitution
al amendments, to be voted for
next month, will be found one
greatly charging the jurisdiction
Of the District Courts. In other
words these courts will have, if
the amendment carries, original
and exclusive Jurisdiction in all
cases involving an amount of fifty
dollars. exclusive of interest.
When it is considered that null
tjtude of such cases will henceforth
be filed in these courts, in the first
instance, to say nothing of many
other minor cases which will be
referred to them on appeal from
Justice of the Peace courts, it will
be readily understood that they
will have all the work that they
can attend to, and the magistrates
who will preside over them will
have very little time for anything
else. Heretofore, and up to the
present time, much well-grounded
complaint has been made by liti-
giants in regard to the long delays
of justice, a matter which has
been wholly unavoidable because
Judges of these courts have had to |
do other judicial duties.
This amendment, as we construe
it, has been made to pave the way
for the re-establishment of the
Circuit Courts, or Courts of APP
peal, which is also to be found in
the amendments published in our
supplement. These Circuit Courts
will greatly relieve the congestion
in legal affairs, and are eminently
necessary. They will greatly IA
cilitate the expedition of justice,
and will prove economical in the
end. Having appellate jurisdic-
tion-ovcr all sums exceeding one
hundred dollars, and not exceed
ing two thousand dollars-thesei
will greatly tend to Tighten !
the labors of the final Supreme,
Court, the docket Of which has al
ways been in too crowded con-,
dition, to the great annoyance and
detriment of litigants.
The amendment providing Tor
the establishment Of the Circuit
Court of Appeals was the result of
a convention of the lawyers held
in Baton Rouge when the Legisla-
ture was in session. These gen.
tlemen were fully and thoroughly
cognizant with the unsatisfactory
of the judiciary, and
the amendment is the result of the
deliberations of this convention,
and we are assured that it will
meet all the requirements and
answer all the purposes of the So
icitors. 1t is a wise and necessary
Observation-Disclosures to expe-
lite justice and reduce costs-and
or that reason, if for no other, it
deserves to be supported and voted
or by every voter.
