It did not take us long to learn that Mew York men look with some indifference on the offerings of thc fr furnishings made by "department" stores. Neither did it take New York men long to learn that this is not a department store.

There is here no arbitrary splitting up of huge agglomerations into small agglomerations: This is a collection of stores, each complete and central in itself, and each as nearly perfect as it can be made. The Men's Furnishing Store and the Clothing Store are two notable examples of the high excellence that can be obtained by this system of individual freedom and effort, supported by the cumulative attraction and success of all the stores in aggregate. Dignified stores, all of these, aiming for success through qualities and attaining real cheapness through natural and logical reasons.

Lays Claim, to a Five Mile Strip of Ocean Front. Rockvill'e Center, L. January 13 Hempstead Town's troubles over its hay and beach interests ftid fair to rival ttiat of Brook haven in Suffolk County, with the possibility that in the end the town may lose the whole stretch of fifteen miles of bearti treating the ocean on the town's southern boundary, from Par Bockaway to the town line ot Oyster Bay, at Massapequa, and including a portion of the Hempstead bay lying inside the beach. The latest development increasing the complications of the town's legal status in its once supposed ownership to the whole beach and bay Is an action begun in the Supreme Court by Carman Frost of Woodsburgb, to obtain possession ot nearly the whole of Long Beach, Shore Beach and Jones' and portions of the adjacent bay and marshes. Papers were served a few days ago in Mr.

Frost's action upon Supervisor Cox, and he has employed Counselor Fred Ingraham to answer to the action. Mr. Frost feels positive that he will be successful in his suit, basing his opinion on the Court of Appeals' decision rendered some months ago, wiiich, as told in the Eagle at the time, awarded to New bold T. Lawrence the stretch ot beach running from Well's lane at Far Rockaway to East Rockaway Bay, and including the west end of Long Beach. This took away about five mil E6 of supposed town property fronting on the ocean, a part of which is now in New York City.

Mr. Lawrence gained his suit on proof of heirship to colonial purchases from ttie town two hundred years or more ago. Mr. Frost's suit is based on similar grounds. The Lawrence case was in the courts for fifteen years and eot'c the town thousands of dollars for counsel fees.

The prope rey Frost is after in cludes the sire of the big Long Beach Hotel, twenty seven cottages, three or four small hotels, fit'hlng stations, all built on leased land from the Town at Hempu'tead. Receiver Paul K. Ames of the Long, Beach Company is made a party to the suit and all tenanxs have been notified to pay no more rent to the town. Mr. Frost says he experts to recover several thousand dcHlars for rerots collected by 'the town for years back.

The outcome of the enit is awaited with interest. BENJAMIN CARTER. East Moriches, L. January 13 Gllhert M. Benjamin, and Miss Elnora M.

Only Thoroughfare for Thousands of "Working People Between Laurel Hill's Factories and Their Homes. (Special to the. Eagle.) Laurel Hill, L. January 13 Over a short 8tre ch of the Long Island Railroad, less than half a mile in length, in the factory district of Laurel Hill, during the past year, thirteen fatal accidents have occurred, resulting from persons being struck by ra'ilroad locomotives while walking ca the crack. This is a record unequaled by any other similar length of steam railroad track in the United States.

This district includes the Nichols Che.mical Works, Haberman's tin factory, Reed's Fertilizer Works and several smaller concerns and between this section and the residence district of Berlin village the Long Island Raiiroad track is the only highway Vter which from 1,200 to 1,500 people can pass on their way between their places of work and their homes. The factories ail front on Newtown Creek and on the landward side they abut the main line of the railroad. On one side of the above mentioned stretch of tracks, between the factory and the residence districts, for a distance of nearly half a mile, there is an embankment 20 feet high and on the other eide an impassable marsh. The working people are thus compelled to walk over the railroad track as the only way of reaching their homes. At the time of the day when the employes are going to or returning from their work a large number of swiftly moving express trains pass over this section of the road.

Moreover, the tracks are curved and ihrough the factory section buildings hide them from the pedestrians' view except for a ehort distance. The people of this section of the Second "Ward, Newtown, are unanimous in their demand lor a public highway to run parallel to the line of the Long Island Railrcad Company, far which purpose the eld Town of Newtown previous to consolidation, appropriated a sufficient sum of money. Upot. the consolidation of the town with New York, this money was turned over to the oity authorities. The demand of the people has been hastened hy the verdict of a coroner's jury recently rendered 'm the case of the death of Ignatz Maeto vski, the latest victim of the locomotive at this point.

The jury in this case recommended to the Deputy Highway Co'mmiasioner ot the borough of Queens that he expend the mioney voted by the former Town of Newtown for the building of a highway between Laurei Hill and Maspeth at as early a date as possible, "a It is an abso'lute recessuy for the protection of life, limb and property." President William H. Baldwin of the Long Island Railroad says, concermlng this dangerous stretch of roadway: "The railroad oompany has done everything it can to keep the people on" the tracks but we are unable to do so. The authorities should do something to relieve that situation or at least prevent people goiog on cur tracks and using them as a highway. A highway has been laid out and the coroner's jury aiter the last death at that point made a TeccnLmend a tion that the highway should be opened. We have signs at every warning people to keep off the tracks and have at various times stationed men on them to warn people, but without avail.

We are Torced to slow up our trains, bat accidents can hardly bo prevented when ou.r tpa cks are black wtih people, although the warning whistle is bioivn continuously." LONKJ ISLAND ITOTES.

5999 999996 9 V969999999S0999 THE HEMPSTEAD AUDIT. The Appellate Court's Decision Specially Interesting1 to Taxpayers of That Town. Rockville Center, L. January 13 The decision of the appellate division of the Supreme Court In the appeal of 'Hempstead taxpayers from the audit ot over $53,000 charges by town officials in 1896 and audited by the Town Board that yeiir, 'is of special interest in the town to taxpayers and officials alike. Lawyer John Lyon of this place was the main who instituted the fight and was at its htlid, representing the taxpayers throughout the long litigation.

Ex Judge Thomas Young of Huntington was engaged by the protesting taxpayers as Mr. Lyon's associate counsel, Nothing is knoiwo here as to the details of the Appellate Court's finding, aside from the report in last night's Edgle that the court had practically affirmed the reports of the experts appointed by Justice Garretson. The expeTts deducted over $18,000 from the bills. In regard to some of the tramp bills which they failed to cut for lack of evidence they said "We consider these charges grossly excessive and without authority of law. In our opinion they should have been rejected by the Board of Town Auditors as being worse than questionable upon their face, although, so far as It appears, they seem to have been accepted and audited without any hesitation on the part of the board and without any attempt to investigate their true character." The Eagle staies that uae court has affirmed the experts finding that ex Siiipervlsor Martin V.

Wood had retained illegally ever $8,000 per centiages. This was largely on moneys received from sale of macadam read bonds, and Mr. Wood is quoted as saying that if he has ever received any ot the town's money to which he Is not entitled he is ready to draw his check to retura it. Lawyer Tlanothy M. rifBng of Riverhead and Jainres R.

Wlllebs of were the experts who represented the Supreme Court in the investigaiilon. Tramp bKls containing thousands of items were gone over and all the officials who dlld no; refuse to tevs iify on th ground that to do so would tend to incrimin ate theim. were subjected to lengthy question ing. Tne pnnteu case m'ade over two thousand pages. The town board was the board or audit and the justices who had in exorbtant hills for tramp changes audited their own as as those of the constables, deputy sheriffs and others.

Justice E. H. Wheeler and James M. Seaman refused to expaiin their bills on the ground that to d'O so might In crlmlnare o.r might lead to incriminate them. Constable W'luiam W.

Wilson, Deputy Sheriff R. T. Wii: marth and others having ibill of the same scrt, also refused to testify. Those named had in Wilis running from $3,000 to J.7,000 each. ABOUT LONG ISLANDERS.
