COUNTY FAIR.
Progress of the Work of Organ
izing the Lake County Agri-
cultural Society.

A fairly we'll attended meeting o
farmers and business men wa held al
the court house Saturday afternoon fol
the purpose of preliminary work for
| the organization of the Lake County
Agricultural society. The articles of
| incor poration which have been return
ed from the secretary of state were sub
mitted to the meeting. Cnder the state
law, not less than three nor more than
eleven directors are necessary fOI the
transaction of association business, the
methods of official procedure being sim
liar to the organization and manage
ment of building and loan associations
While the work of organization is
still incomplete, start has been made.
At the recent meeting OF the county
farmers institute a committee consist
ing of VIM. Rowland G. A. Hackett
and E. B, Parker was appointed to con
fer with committee of the driving
park association consisting OF Geo
Cook, Chas. b. Kennedy, A, G..
Schmidt and J. l.. Jones. These gen
tlemen have been named as temporary
directors for preliminary work of organ
izatiop, with K. b. Parker as tempo
rary president and FL. A. Fowler. tenn
porary secretary.
The new organization has bargained
for the purchase of the driving park as
sociaton $ grounds in the east limits of
the city, consisting of twenty eight
acres for a consideration of Fl ,450. This
=. he
land represents a much greater value.
1t is the desire of the driving park as
sociatioa which will go out of existence
and the business men of the city that
the management of the new association
fall entirely into the hands of the farm
ers. In order to capitalize the new en-
terprise the sale of three hundred shares
of stock at $40 per share was required
and $50 shares of this number have
been sold.
A meeting for permanent organiza-
tion and the election of permanent
officers has Teen called to be held at the
C urt house Saturday, April |. at 2 p. IN.
at which time bylaws will be submit
ted to be discussed, amended and ra tiff
ed by the stockholders. A committee
of A. q. Schmidt, +. w.
Hart and l.. T. Love was appointed at
the meeting Saturday afternoon TO draft
by laws.
The prospects for successful fair as
sociation is very bright and it rests
with the farmers and business men to
make it complete success, Much of
the future depends upon the first fair
which will he held this fall, aud it is
the desire of those taking the initiative
that every citizen of the county take
mold and help in organization and make |
the enterprise popular as it deserves.

SUBMARINE PROBLEM
WHICH MAY BE SOLVED
Builders of Such Boats Will in Future Construct Vessels
That in Case of Accident Under Water They
Can Be Raised.

American submarine builders have de-
cided in future to construct such craft
with special appliances at the bow and
stern by which in case of accident hooks
can be attached to either end and the
vessel lifted from the bottom of the sea.
The experience OF the French naval
authorities with the unlucky Farfadet
has taught this lesson to American
naval officers and the experts in the de-
partment have determined that an i'm
provement in construction of this sort
is very necessary. In the case of the
Farfadet, when sixteen men on board
Of her We're drowned by the vessel sink
ing in BiZerta Bay off Tunis. the diff
ficulty was found in the effort to pass
n chain around the bow of the boat
because her nose was poked in the mud
ard the divers had only the conicaI end
to work with, and it was found impos-
sible to make fast a chain.
This danger in future. il is thought,
could be obyiated by building all sub
marines with strong eyelets at the bow
and stern IN which divers could at
once put hooks so that a derrick would
lift the disabled vessel to the surface
Officers OF the Navy Department, who
take an interest in submarine building,
find much room for ,study in the Far
fadet accident. One of the greatest
problems to which officers have given
time since taking up submarine nayiga-
ton IS how TO meet an accident where

Timely Action.

Sometimes good sense and official
power meet and coalesce in. one and
the same person. but the spectacle is
not so common that the public can
pass it by without commentator.
The dreadful heat of the last few
days has been fatally destructive in
the crowded districts of New York
city. There was a way of alleviating
the sufferers of the tenement house
dwellers. and that was to turn them
loose in the parks. Park Commissi - er
Pallas saw this and was quick enough
to give the order in time 10 be of
service to the people. The signs to
keep OFF the grass were replaced by
this notice;
BY direction of Park Commissioner
Pailas the police Will permit the public
or benches in ali the parks. day and
night, during the hot spell, if they SO
desir-.
How much better than red tape!
That timely action probably saved
many lives; it certainly gave comfort
and repose to many a weary toiler.
The man who combined in himself
the good sense. the kind heart, and
the official power 10 do that act, and
did it, certainly deserves thanks.

George " and Nicholas II.

Inere are many points of Tesem-
blance between the present Car of
Russia and George " of England.
George was of exemplary personal
habits and good father, so is Mich
olas; George was utterly incompetent
to rule a great people, so is Nicholas;
George had a mentality that would
have dlsgraced his beef-eaters, Mich
olas has about as much: George lost
the wealthiest possession that ever
came to any nation. Nicholas has i'm
periled the very possibility of auto
cracy.
The world moves forward and up
ward regardless of the petty Georges
and Nicholases in its way. To each
man the center of all activity and the
reason for cosmic existence seems TO
be himself. Kings and emperors are
not to be blamed overmuch if this
common human failing is in them
heightened to the dignity of an idiotic
vice; il is unfortunate for them. and
yet, perhaps, makes for the ultimate
common veal that ridiculous theories
OF their divine rights sometimes CO.
exist with incompetence and imbecil-
ity in their own persons.
George and Nicholas will occupy
correspondingly obscure inches in the
temple of history With infinite op-
portunities for good, both were abso-
Lutte failures in their personal efforts,
but the world will move onward not
withstanding their delinquencies.

Perhaps the almost universal habit
of husbands supporting their wives
is all wrong. Possibly it might give
the men more opportunity for social
culture and intellectual dissipation
if the wives should take their turn

whatever may be philosophically true

HERRELL ADVOCATES

John E. Herrell. president of the

Mr.. HerreI. in speaking of the pro-

he could not understand why there

their immediate adoption and then to
their enforcement to the letter

the smaller tenement houses, due re

Watches Dear Ones Die
Through Crystal Water
Unable TO SWIM She Wades Out to Look at
Double Tragedy-Fiusband and
Son Perish.

6OUTdA MPTON, L. l., July 20.-Of
course there win be other tragedies Of
the summer season here but the one
which lasted for full twelve hours will
not be forgotten when the death roll OF
a summer vacation is placed IN total on
the corunet's records
A woman and her re1uaining children
watched the husband and father swim
out to rescue the oldest boy. who was
drowning. They saw the lad clasp his
father around the neck in a strangling
hold and both 20 down.
They didn't reappear. and the wife
and mother waded out in the clear
waters OF creek leading into Peeonic
bay until she WAS almost to her depth
! Then. peering into the crystal waters.
sflt could plainly see, twenty feet below
OIL the pebbly bottom the forms of her
husband and son. The lad still had the
father around the neck in the most
deadly Of all holds when there is some
thing 10 do in bathing. and the wife
squlrmIng convuisiVelY.
But she couldn't swim a stroke, and
diving was impossible. So she had to
stand there, up to her neck and crane
into the clear water and see her hI,s-
bands struggles cease and both him
and the boy with the strangIe hold die
side by side.
Twelve Hours With Dead.
Even that wasn't worse than what
followed. when a clam digger who could
swim and dive brought out the bodies
still entwined in the lads death grip
and stretched them on the sand. That
was at O'Clock yesterday morning, and
not until O'Clock last night did a cor
oner arrive to give permission for the
bodies be removed. The county official
had been delayed by rnisdirection. and
all day in the baking sun the woman
sat with her four other children in the
sand When the coroner finally got
there it was found she had stripped her
self of almost everything to cover the
bodies, and even the smallest children
VINO were playing about were almost
nude in the effort of the wife and moth
er TO care for her dead.
1t was only a couple of days ago when
George a. Hulse, a carpenter. of Good
Ground. decided that building there had
stopped for the summer, after the inciDi-
enf boom following the coming of Muir
phy. or Tammany Hall fame. So he
thought there was more money to be
made claiming, and brought his family
along to the shores Of one of the many
creeks that flow into Peconic bay. near
here Their tents were pitched on the
bank, squatter fashion, as is the way on
Long Island when baymen seek a living
