EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
! : A word in behalf Of Tottenyille
TottenvIlle is In the throes Of a
most disagreeable and at the same
time a most important crisis To
some, the changing of Its name to
aBentley Manor" Is of little or no
seonseQuence, but for him who has
been born and bred in Tottenville,
stHe wiping out of Its name means
the destroying of his birthplace, for
II, In after years. one should ask the
native Tottenvillian, Where We're
you born?'' he would not answer
"Tottenville," for TottenvilIe does
not exist, nor could he say Bentley
Manor" because he was not born in
Bentley Manor.
n And who, pray. are those who
would rob us of our birthplace?
Are they real Tottenvillians2 No,
they are invaders, foreigners, who
have come here from other towns
and have made their livelih00ds
right here in Tottenviile for varying
numbers of years. To further their
own interests these people wish TO
change the name of Fottenville to
Bentley Manor, while we real peo-
pie of Tottenville sit calmly looking
on. "Sat" would be more appropri-
ate, for we no longer sit but will
now fight for the restoration of Tot
tenville.
The argument Is raised that
Bentley Manor" would attract pe0-
pie to settle here. 1t seems to me
that this controversy has attracted
altogether too much attention. The
press of the city and island have
| commented upon the change and al
most everyone has favored the name
of "Tottenville." AS for attract
ing, people here. all ! have to say
is this, that If people would migrate
to town because of the euphonious
tingle of it's name, then those people
can be dispensed with. Tottenville
can stand their loss, even if Bentley
Manor cannot.
1 Let us now consider the origin of
the names. "Tottens stands for
honesty, integrity, patriotism. Look
ling back upon the history of the
Tottens, which, after all. Is the his
| tory of Tottenville, we find no blem-
| ish. Generation to generation, a
trace of strong, God-fearing patriots
lwho, in the infancy of the town.
were as Jealous in the fostering and
protecting OF it's interests as the
lBentIey Manofites of today are
eager to wipe their name from the
lstown which they made, race OF
men who answered the call of our
Isnation In its early struggles for life,
with all the resources and faculties
with which they were endowed; and
who. in times of peace by the wise
administration of civil offices, did
their share to make this country
what 1t is. is this. then, their re-
l'ward? Shall their name be blotted
from this town because their mem
ory is becoming dim? If It shall,
then with the blotting out of Totem
vile. Bentley Manor. by that very
act, will receive a stain upon its
escutcheon that will remain deep
rooted and ineffaceable for centuries
Ito come.
/ AS for Bentley Manor, the only
fpoint in its favor is the loftiness,
and exclusiveness. of its tone, quaii-
fties for which the average Totten-
william has no use. Bentley Manor
was the name given to tract of
land situated where Tottenville now
{, stands (for she still stands). 1t

The Arabian coffee maker, having pre-
pared his fire of charcoal and placed
near 1t a huge pot containing wa
ter, takes few handfuls of green cof-
fee berries, carefully cuIls out all I'M
perfect berries and foreign substances
and then places the best Of the berries
in an iron ladle held over the fire.
The berries are permitted to roast un-
til they begin to smoke and are then,
while still uncharred, placed in a small
mortar and carefully brayed with a
pestle closely fitting the cup of the
mortar. The berries are not, however,
reduced to a dust. While this process
has been going on small pot has been
half filed with tepid water from the
large pot and placed over the fire.
When the water In the small pot has
begun to boil the broken coffee berries
are thrown Ia, and the boiling is per-
mitted to go on for short time, the
decoction being stirred with a spoon
when it shows signs Of boiling over.
The coffee is then served In small cups
without cream or sugar.

Women who wear heavy switches to
make the turban coiffure will, unless
they are particular to let their scalps
breathe and rest every night, lose their
natural locks.
The hair never thrlves when the
head is kept constantly warm, as the
false pieces make 1t, for the follleles
or roots are affected precisely as are
flowers by too high temperature. The
latter wither and fall, and SO does hair
when overheated. While no sensible
person would deride popular fashion
in hairdressing. one can sound a note
of warning to prevent injury from it.
All hairpins should be removed
when going to bed, to give the scalp
thorough brushing.
This brushing Is not merely to draw
the brush over the outside Of the scalp
few times. 1t means atprocess Of at
least Eve minutes duration, and if one
will sit for the work more time is like
" to be expended with proportionate
benefit.

Washington, D. c.. May 2o.-With a
view to helping to wipe out the postal
deficit, an enterprising Virginian IN ], a
vances an idea which he says Is al
his own. Fis proposition is that the

misprinted stamps ato collectors at a
premium.
He claims there are 6,Ooo,oo0 stamp
collectors in the country who would
jump at the chance to get freak post
nus for them.
As compensation for his idea. he
simply wants to be made special
agent to handle and sell the stamps
for the government, and modestly
leaves to the Postmaster-General the
naming of the salary to be paid him.

They have been taken from the re-
cords of the companies. and represent
all the risks that have been written
since 1885. These 100000 cases were.
first of all. carefully classified by the
Investigating committee according to
calling, and 1t was at once discovered
that the chances of LONGEVITY which
an army officer has is perceptibly DIFF
ferent, for example, from those of the
physician, and that the chances Of
long life OF saloonkeeper are also
perceptibly different from those Of
both the other two classes, even al
though the typical army officer, doctor
and saloonkeeper are all healthy men.
Then the 100000 cases were shaken
up again and reclassified. according
to their medical history The COM
mittee were able to figure out exact
ly what is the expectation OF life Of
the average person whose father and
mother has died OF tuberculosis, or
cancer, or epilepsy, or who IL himself
the victim OF various ailments or sus-
picious symptoms.
"You can readily see what step for
ward this investigation is In making
life insurance an exact science and how
it will benefit policy seekers" said last

las a result many persons will be ac-
copied by the companies who have been
refused in the past. Most companies,
for example. have been in the habit OF
refusing to issue policies to persons
whose fathers and mothers have died
Of tuberculosis. Our committee has
discovered that such persons are
fairly good risk, though exactly what
premium such persons should be re-
auired to pay is a matter for the indt-
vidual companies in the near future TIC
determine.
"a similar Investigation was begun
eight years ago. but was lost sight OF
during the readjustments of the las
! few years Our own investigation was
suggested at dinner of the Actuaria
Society and Medical Directors of thu
Life Insurance Companies of America
a year ago. 1t was thought SO wei

DRASTIC CHANGES
ARERECOMMENDED

tCOntluued FROM FIRST Page.D
from the late j. Stuart Kennedy, Of
New York.
In speaking of the work OF the So
ciety the report said that $4,000 copies
of the Scriptures were circulated in
China alone. John s. Munce. of Rich
mond. presented the report of the COM
mittee appointed last year to consider
the question of consolidating the
executive committees and making
changes in the collections. This re-
port recommended that the seven COM
nittees now doing the work OF the
church be reduced TO four committees.
These, it IS supposed. shall be those on
foreign missions. home missions Co
be consolidated with 1t the committee
on colored evangelization and evange-
listic), ministerial relief and educa-
ton Ito include work of the commit
tee on schools and colleges). puhltca-
ton and Sabbath schools.
Budget system.
The committee proposes also that
the assembly shall adopt what is
known as the budget system OF coll
lec,ioqs. BY this plan all the needs
of allA the causes shall be considered
together. and the church will give
lump sum to cover all the needs. This
report caused a very lively debate
Each committee has friends who think
the plan is a very good one, but that
an execution ought to be made in the
case of his committee. The result Is
that there are almost as many opinions
as there are committees. When timse
came for adjourning there was no
prospect of the assemhlys reachlhs a..
aeraement. So the matter goes over
for further consideration tomorrow
At the night session there were sew
eral addresses on the subject OF Chris
