ORIGIN OF NEW YORK NAMES



There are some names of places in
Greater New York common enough on
the modern tongue. but the origin of
which is Lot so generally known. New
Dorp, on Staten Island. was so named
by the Dutch to distinguish it from
Dude Dorp (Old Dorpl, the first Dutch
settlement on the island. which was
thrice destroyed by the Indians. Old
Dorp stood to the northwest of Fort
Wadsworth, about where Arrochar
now stands Two miles to the west of
the ruins of Old Dorp the persistent
Dutch built their New Dorp.
The northeast section of Staten Is
land which until the formation of
Greater New York was known as Cas-
Teton, and is still generally so called.
takes its name from the fact that it
once formed Governor Dongan's man
or of Castleton" Dongan-the Dongan
hills are named from him-was of the
family of the Earl Of Limerick. and the
seat of the earl in Ireland was Castle
town, in the County Kildare. Many of
Governor Dongan's descendants still
live on Staten Island. some of them oc-
cupying and owning houses on the land
of the old manor. At first Governor
Dongan merely had a hunting lodge on
Staten Island, ana 1t is significant of
the state of that portion Of New York
city AT the end of the seventeenth cen
fury that at Il meeting of the colonial
council the governor was entered on
the minutes as absent, being engaged

BedlOw's island, on which the statue
of Liberty stands. was purchased in
1716 by an Englishman named Bedlow.
who had amassed large fortune in the
East India trade and was an acquaint-
ance of the then governor, the notori-
Gus Lord COrnbury Bedlow received
from Cornbury the privilege Of victual-
ing the British fleets which frequented
New York. 1t was most profitable
monopoly, having in II great possibili-
ties Of graft. Cornbury is supposed to
have "stood in" with Bedlow When
Bedlow died suddenly Cornbury seized
all his papers. collected all the out
standing debts due the contractor. and
kept everything of Bedlow's he could
lay his hands on. leaving Bedlows wild
ow and children in poverty. Bellows
island was bought and used by the con
tractor while he victualed the fleets as
q depot for his stores
Corlear's Hook takes its name from
Jacob Corlear, the city trumpeter in
the old Dutch days. Governor Beck
man bought it from him. The governor
also bought country estate, the site
of which is COMMUNICATED by Beck
man street.
The true meaning of the word Man
haitian, originally spelled variously as
Mana-ha-ta, Manhattoes and Manhat-
tan, Is hid in mystery 1t is not even
certain whether it was the name of the
place or OF the tribe which inhabited it,
or Of both. The old idea that the word
meant Place of Drunkenness has been
satisfactorily confutec, but what does
the word meanI-New York Press.

HiccOuRh Mt Dinner.

Many persons are debarred from din
ing out owing 10 their liability to con
tract hiccough during a meal. AS a
rule when caused by food it comes on
at once, and equally as rule the food
causing it is hot. Soups are more like
ly to provoke hiccough than solids are.
1t is good plan to forego soup, which
can be done without causing remark,
says Home Notes. Or one may eat a
little bread before taking it, \ third
plan is to drink little cold water and
to take the soup in very small sips.

CHRONIC HEADACHE.

Doctors Disagree as to Cause-Enects
of Eye Strain.
The causes and treatment of chronic
headaches were the topic of an inter
esting discussion before the section on
the practice of medicine of the Amer
lean Medical association at Boston re-
Gently. Eight experts took up a differ
ent cause and in brief papers discussed
it In popular manner
DR.. George L. Walton of Boston de-
scribed constitutional headaches as
the most common of chronic headaches
and said IN most cases the victims
were high strung, intense and unable
to relax either physically or mentally.
with strong likes and dislikes, perhaps
given to faulty mental habits which
might be analyzed into obsessive tend
encieS.
THE cause of pain in such cases is
probably twofold," said DR.. Walton
I'm the first place, the patients inabil-
ity to relax increases the fatigue from
cerebral processes, and, in the second
place, the patients susceptibility to
pain from such fatigue is greater than
the normal"
DIR. George Gould of Philadelphia
made some sweeping assertions re-
garding the number of chronic head
aches due to eye strain. He thought
about ninetenths of all headaches
could be attributed to this cause Not
only did eye strain cause many head
aches, he added. but also many gastric
disturbances, and about 15,000.0O per-
sons In this country, or one-fifth of the
population, were suffering from lateral
curvature of the spine due to eye
strain
