raid upon the violators of the speed law over
the eighth Of a mile course west of Lynbrook
this afternoon. The first victim that fell into
the trap was James Wisey of New York. who
pleaded guilty. but when the officer stated that
he was not positive of the time the justice sus-
pended sentence.
A large touring car (M32) when signalled.
slowed up and as the officer attempted to jump
upon the running board the chauffeur turned
on the power and dashed away in a cloud Of
dust. Hamilton Higbie of Hillview, Jamaica,
was the next victim. He pleaded not guilty.
and was released under 500 bail, to appear for
trial on July "a.
William Vohl, chauffeur for William Dyke
man. the we'll known Brooklyn attorney,
pleaded not guilty and deposited 500 in cash TO
appear for trial on October 8. Mr.. Dykeman
raised the argument that both he and his chauf-
feur had been very careful to within the
limit, and that he had timed his speed by his
speedometer. He invited Justice Wallace to get
into his machine, and the justice was taken over
the course. Mr.. Dykeman then insisted that he
desired TO test the case.
When the officer tagged another machine a
woman who was in the car remarked: You are
up against a stiff thing now. You will get all
that is coming to you" After this arrest the
officers proceeded to the course just east OF
Rockville Centre. Soon large touring came
dashing along at about forty-fve miles an hour.
When the officer tagged the machine IL slowed
up, but they came alongside full speed was
put on, and two of the occupants Of the car
stood up and struck at the officer and one Of the
women in the car shouted. Let her go full
speed; he won't shoot" The officer did shoot at
the tire. but missed, and the machine, which bore
the numbers 1902 and NJ. III, n. j.. dashed

The November "Smart Set"

The Conflict, by Emma Wolf,
which is the novelette, opening the
November number of the Smart Set, is
a story remarkably new in plot and
treatment 1t concerns the two dis
tiuct personalities which the heroine,
young married woman, discovers
that she possesses. Her wonderful alter
ego is encouraged and developed by
her, and the strange complicatio
which results is logically and skillful-
ly brought about Miss Wolf, through
this novelette,, will find herself occupy
ing very high place among the
younger American writers.
Jack London contributes a rattling
good story to this issue-one out of
his usual vein, but brimful Of interest.
1t is called "A Wicked Woman. !"
Inez Haynes Gilmore has a real ghost
story, The Dead-Line, " which will
create a great deal of discussion.
Dorothea Deakin, i'll 'Lancelot, " tells
pathetic little story of married life ;
and Grace MacGowan Cookies strong
tale of the Tennessee mountains, call
ed "Out of Nazareth, " makes fine
reading. "The Helpmeet, " by Mary
Tracy Earle, is psychological study,
and ''The Beauty of the Law" by
Ellis Parker Butter, is one of the fun
niest stories of the year. Other fiction
writer's are Harriet Gaylord, Ward
Clark, Katherine MetCalf Roof, j. j.
Bell, Amos DeLany, and Arthur Stan
ley Wheeler.
The essay is by Richard lie Gallien-
ne, whose name is a guarantee of ev-
erythiDg that is beautiful and truly
literary. 1t is entitled 1.-The World
aud the Lover, and while the author's 5
point of view may not meet with ev-
cry readers approval, there is no gain
saying his clever handling of Il uni
yersally interesting theme.
Poems by favoritc writers are in

Alley Paved With vitrified Brick

The street commissioner has finish
ed laying the vitrified brick pavement
in Swentek's alley, leading from Mill
street toward Mahoning creek. This
is a m1ch-uoodcd Improvement and
one that was long deferred.
The case presented complications,
the alley being undoubtedly private
one although used by the public and
one which under the peculiar condi-
tions existing, was Indispensable
There was good deal of heavy
hauIiug through the alley and for
years Nr. SWentek protested, claiming
that the deep ruts worn were damag-
ing the foundation walls of the two
buildings abutting on the narrow pass
age. He did not object to the use of
the allev, but he insisted that the bor-
ough protect his buildings by paving
the alleyway or repairing it in some
other manner that would resist wear
and tear TIE matter has claimed
attention for years and council after
council has taken up the matter only
to defer action indefinitely.
The present council it seems was the
first to take the broad and liberal view
of the case that all the circumstances
seem to demand and to proceed to have
che alley paved The work was author
lied last month. 1t was completed with
little outlay Of effort at a total cost of
less than a hundred dollars

Early Closing Season Here.

Early closing for the season is at an
end and the stores this week are re-
manning open until O'Clock or any
hour that suits the convenience of the
merchant. Mill street, therefore, pre-
sents business like and animated APP
pearance in keeping with wideawake
progressive town and will continue to
show up thus favorably until at least
after the holidays.
1t is seldom that early closing con
tinues until such late date as Octo-
Der 10. The tendency seems to be to-
ward early closing the year around and
each season the intervals during which
the stores are open grow shorter and
shorter. A few of the stores began
keeping open on October lst. But the
majority remained closed until Mon
day night last. Even at that date one
or two were not ready to open, but last
night the street was Illuminated from
end TO end.
By common consent with many of
the merchants s O'Clock now seems to
be the hour set for closing. There is
still lack of uniformity, which causes
a little dissatisfaction. One or more,
who are careful to close at and have
everything prepared to lookup prompt
ly at that hour, last evening were heard
to complain that others do not begin
to take in their goods until the clock
strikes and thus, whether intention
ally or not, keep their stores open aud
invite trade until much later. 1t is
nine O'Clock and even after before
some of the stores are locked up
1t is question, however, with some
of the dealers, now that early clos
ing for the season is at an end, wheth-
er the merchants as a body are bound
to close DIT any particular hour. 1t
would not be surprising, therefore, if
a few stores continue to keep open un-
til any hour that it suits their con
venience to close.

A LUMBER
HAULING FROLIC

\ somew what novel scene presented
itself ON Mill street Monday, when a
long procession Of lumber wagons,
some thirty in number, came across
the river bridge and later disappeared
out over the State highway.
An explanation lay i'll the fact that
the teams were all from the country
and belonged to farmers who were
participating iu a lumber hauling
frolic' to assist two citizens who
were so unfortunate as to lose their
barns by lightning and are Iebuild-
ing.
The new barns for which the lumber
is intended belong to Emanuel Sidler
Of Valley township, and Clarence
Shultz of West HeInlock township
Mr. Sidler's barn was raised several
weeks ago, since which time the work
has been held up for the want of lum-
Der. Mr.. Shultz has scarcely more than
began the work Of rebuilding
seldom before in the history OF this
county has lumber been brought so
far for any of its barns The lumber
which is Of the long leaf yellow pine
variety, was shipped from Moselle,
Miss a point, only $50 miles from
New Orleans. 1t was just three weeks
on the way.

REVIEW OF TRADE
BY R. &. DUN & co.

X. G. Dun & Cos weekly review Of
trade Saturday said
Lower temperature brought out
much business in seasonable lines of
wearing apparel and most reports from
wholesalers tell of the largest volume
of trade ever transacted. Shipping de-
partments are limited IN activity by
inadequate railway facilities and this
difficulty is becoming aggravated by
the free movement Of grain aud coal
as the season advances. Official crop
reports covering conditions on October
1 indicated most satisfactory grain
prospects, but damage has since reduc-
ed the yield of cotton and caused
violent rise of prices
In the leading industries it is i'm
possible to secure prompt deliveries,
even contracts for shipment during the
first quarter of 1907 being difficult to
place with the steel mills, and the long
continued lassitude in primary mark
cts for cotton goods has been succeed
ed by an eagerness to purchase that is
advancing quotations.
Conditions in the primary market.
for cotton goods shows radical change
in the recent Indifferent demand and
endeavor to obtain concessions in
prices. Conditions in the wooden in
dustrY do not show a similar broaden
ing of interest, few duplicate orders
having been placed, and the market
still waits for some denfite attitude
by clothing manufacturers
New England footwear manufactur-
ers received liberal spring orders from
jobbers in all sections of the country,
with the best demand for heavy stock,
such as grain and split goods Pro
ducers have large contracts on hand
for winter and spring lines in addition
to supplementary orders for late fall
delivery.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for October amount,
ed to 81, 7S6, al, of which 1868, COS were
in manufacturing $955, 1872 in trading,
and 500, 70l in other commercial lines.
Failures last week amounted to 2l7
in the United States against 2l1 last
year, and 2S in Canada compared with
% year ago.

VIII Abolish Clerical Tickets.

The New York Sun of Saturday
morning is the authority for a state
ment That viii work q partial hard
ship on ministers as it reports that
one of the actions Of the meeting of
the Central passenger association
which is composed Of all the general
passenger agents of the trunk lines was
to abolish the clerical tickets after
January /, 1901.
This action on the part of the cent
ral association comes as a complete
surprise, as for years ministers have
paid but half fares when travelling and
there had been no inkling that this
custom was to be discontinued by the
big railroads.
The-meeting also decided to issue
interchangeable mileage books good
for any person at a flat two cent rate
basis.
