Is only a comparatively narrow neck of land separating the ocean and Jamaica Bay at this point. Another Important improvement that is now being made by Mr. Lancaster is the filling of the low swamp land and a portion ot Nortop's Creek, which now connects the two bodies of water and which always floodB the meadows between the ocean and the boulevard when the tide rises unusually high. To All In the creek alone will require in the neighborhood of 35,000 cubic yards of earth. The powerful steam dredge of Babcoek, Lary Co.

is now deepening Norton's Creek on the Jamaica Bay side, and at the same time forcing the material through a pipe a quarter of a mile long to that part of the creek which is being filled in. The work will probably be finished in about two months. These improvements, coupled with an approach via Jamaica Bay, with the boulevard and the railroad already giving easy access to the. resort, and with the possibility of the trolley company's extending its lines from Far Rockaway, through Edgemere and Arverne to Rockaway Beach, portend a prosperous future for Edge mere and neighboring villages.

(Special to the Eagle.) Huntington, L. December 7 At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Annie, the wife of Peter Doty of Cold Spring, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid. She died two hours later. She swallowed the dose while standing in the road opposite her father's house, on Spring street, this village. Mrs.

Doty had been away from borne for a week and her slsier saw her as she came up the road. She had her little boy with her, and, as her sister went out to meet her, she raised a bottle of carbolic acid to her lips and drank its contents. She was carried into her father's house and a neighbor drove two miles to summon Dr. G. Herbert Carter.

Before his arrival the woman had lost consciousness and his services were unavailing, as she died within two hours. Mrs. Doty is a young woman of 23. For some time she had not lived happily with her husband and not long ago she left him and returned to live with her father. About a week ago Mrs.

Doty told her family that she desired to see her little child and she announced her intention of going to him at her husband's home In Cold Spring. Against her father's strenuous objections and positive orders she left the hous and nothing was seen of her from that time until yesterday, when she suddenly appeared near her father's house with her boy. Not in tho existence of the Thirty second Ward Taxpayers' Association was there such a large attendance as that at the monthly meeting held last night in the office of J. lleis, at 1,531 Flatbush avenue. Doubtless th'e announcement that a clash was expected between the two factions as to the selection of a meeting place was the cause of the large gathering.

Many members were anable to find seats and were obliged to remain standing during the evening. Those who came to see a scrimmage were, however, disappointed as members of the two factions had held a caucus Sunday afternoon and compromised the difference by agreeing on a resolution for the appointment of a committee of three to hire a room for the future meetings of the association at Aller's Hotel. This resolution was passed with but one dissenting vote, and Henry A. Meyer, M. J.

Buckley and W. J. Smith were named as the committee. M. J.

Buckley was greeted with applause when he advocated smoking cars, in view of the fact that smokers were not allowed to stand on the rear nlatform of ears of the Brooklvn Death of James G. Gillies of Pneumonia. Mrs. Catherine Piatt Expires in Her 76th Year. Mr.

Howard Hand, pastor ot tho Mothodiat Episcopal Church here, preached a powerful Bermon last Sunday, but ho did not tell his congregation that ho and a friend of his, E. F. Cook of 250 Greenpoiut avenue, Brooklyn, were arrested the day before for shooting game on tho leased gunning preserves of Benjamin T. Fairchild at East Quoguo by State Game Protector Morgan M. JackBon of that village.

Mr. Hand is known as an ardent sportsman, and he invited his friend to go on a gunning expedition for quail and pheasants. They had for their guide Bruce Carter of East Quoguo, and arter being out a long time they had but poor luck, until the guide suggested going on the Fairchild property. Baying that he thought the game would bo more plentiful there. Sure enough the party were soon bagging plenty of fine quail and partridge.

Tho good dominie was unaware that he was shooting on forbidden ground and was very much surprised when the game constable came along and put him under arrest. The offices of several justices of the peace were visited, but all the officials were away and matters looked rather dubious for the minister and his friend. Mr. Hand leaded with the constable to release him, as hod to preach tho next day. HiB pleadings finally prevailed and he and his friend were allowed to go on their own recognizance, promising to appear at court when called for.

They will have a hearing before Justice Henri M. Howell at Southampton next week. Mr. Hand said that he did not soo any signs forbidding trespassing, and that he would cer iaiuly have kept off the grounds had he seen them. Fairchild, the lessee of the property invaded, is a retired New York millionaire and stocks hie premiBes every year with two or three hundred Ohio quail and a large number of pheasants for his own sport.

Mr. Hand wanted to sottle the case right away by paying tho costs, but Mr. Cook his Brooklyn friend insiBts upon having tho matter brought into court as a test case, as to whether or not it is against the law to shoot on leased land. He insists that the town law of Southampton prohibits any one from reserving gunning property for his own exclusive use, and that a resident of the town can shoot wherever he pleaseB. Mr.

Hand is an ardent sportsman and considered one of tho finest shots in the county. Jackson, the game constable, is the man who arrested Police Justice Ingraham of Brooklyn some time ago for shooting out of season. Jackson prides himself on having arrested a judge, several lawyers and police justices, several merchants and brokers, boardinghouse keepers and lots of everyday people for illegal shooting and now ho has added a Methodist minister to his list of prisoners.

"The Wooing of Malkatoon" is a love story, the scene of which is in the Orient, the land which has inspired many a Muse, from the Persian singers to the bards of the present day. The hero of the poem, a high bred chivalrous youth, while on the chase seeks a spring in which to quench his thirst, and beholds his Kismet, and is captured at first sight. Into the poem is woven all that wealth of color that seems a part of the poetical East. Cotnmodus" is a play founded upon a dramatic incident in the time of Rome's greatest power and glory. Maternus, an able and ambitious slave who had liberated himself, gathered about him a band of freebooters that finally demanded the attention of the ruler of the City of Seven Hills.

Armies were sent to exterminate him and his band, but they reached Rome in small squads, aud, during one of the wild festivals.of the empire, Maternus sought to kill the Emperor and proclaim himself ruler. Betrayed by one of his accomplices, he dies, slain at the foot of the throne of Commodus.

Caton Wood ville, and from Photographs taken by the Author. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50. The past year has been an eventful one for Mr. Davis. He has been present at a number of ceremonies which have attracted the attention of the entire civilized world, and his reports of tho impressions gathered thereat are written in the facile and comprehensive style of the trained correspondent.

Under the above title Mr. Davis has collected these timely and interesting papers. The war between Turkey and Greece, the Cuban Rebellion, the Coronation of the'Czar, the English Jubilee, and other matters of equal import, are here treated with characteristic accuracy and skill, and the result is a volume of inestimable value to the student of current events. A Legend of Camelot Pictures and Verses. By George Du Maurier, Author and Illustrator of "The Martian," "Trilby," etc.

Large 4to, Cloth, Ornamental, Full Gilt, $5 00. Under this title are brought together a considerable number of drawings and fanciful verses both in French and English, which are in all probability unfamiliar even to those who know Du Maurier's work most thoroughly. The subtle humor of his fancy in this particular line is too well known to need comment, and "A Legend of Camelot" is particularly interesting for the light it throws on one, and not the least characteristic, side of this many sided man. It is most exquisite fooling." Lin McLean By Owen Wister, Author of Red Men and White," etc. Illustrated.

Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50. What Bret Harte did years ago for California and the Pacific Slope, Mr. Owen Wister is now doing for the Plains. In "Lin McLean he has depicted a character that is the central figure in the several stories composing this volume, which is so true to its environment and so faithfully exact iu its every movement" that it will stand for all time as the most typical cow boy of the period, for Mr. Wister's local color is so true and his character drawing is so fine that he has made this field his own.

The Tinted Venus A Novel. By F. Anstey. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, Si When, several years ago, The Tinted Venus was first published, the drollery of the plot and the cleverness with which it was related made it at once immensely popular.

This new edition will be welcome, even to those who are familiar with the story, on account of the fifteen illustrations by Bernard Partridge, and will doubtless attract new readers. These illustrations, with the exception of the charcoal drawing on page 199, are reproduced from water colors. The incongruity of this vision of classical loveliness moviDg amid commonplace modern surroundings is made the most of. But many'of the pictures have more than humorousness. Jamaica, L.
