WHAT THE PROSPECT HEIGHTS CREW HAS DONE THIS SEASON. If every prominent watering place during the summer bathing season could boast ol such an efficient body of life savers as that which has existed at Shelter Island Heights during the past summer, the dangers of the undertow and the loss ot lite would be minimized. At the very opening of the Sheltor Island season tho project was set on foot to organize a crew, and suitable selections were made from among the best swimmers at the Heights living in the immediate vicinity of the bathing pavilion with the following result: Commodore, Arthur Jones of Brooklyn; captain, William Glover, an old sea veteran; Frank Barter, The Shlnnecock tribe of Indians held a meeting last week on the reservation near Southampton to discuss the various aspects of a movement that is on foot to sell the lands of their reservation. A number of members of the tribe attended from various places in New York state and others journeyed from "Washington, D. C.

Vidocq is none of your common, ordinary dogs, with only dog sense enough to bark when a ragged tramp comes to her master's door, and she is not only educated, but accomplished.

She was never a circus dog, has always kept good company, and her tricks are only performed for the amusement of her master's friends and such visitors to Bay Shore as, having heard of tBe dog, may wish to see her. Vidocq is the mother of four puppies, and all her children do their mother and their master proud by the accomplishments they have mastered In (Special to the Eagle.) Long Island City, L. September 7 The political battle for mayoralty honors in this city this fall will be just as bitterly contested as in former years. Within tho past few day a Mayor H. S.

The primaries have not yet been called, and a lively fight will he waged tor the control of the delegates. Ex Mayor Charles Corwin.

At this time, 1703, they paid the Indians twenty pound3 at the giving of the deed mentioned. I By the terms of the lease the Indians had I the right of plowing and planting in this tract as they pleased, fencing their fields against cattle, and all the wood and timber they needed for building, fencing and firewood. The English reserved the right ot pasturage and the salt marshes in tho same, and also passage for highways, and building stone.

This adjustment of their several rights continued in force until 1859 when tho Indians desired to obtain Shinnecock in fee by the exchange of their rights by lease to the hills. An enabling act by the New York legislature confirmed the new settlement whereby the Indians surrendered all their rights to the Shlnnecock hills and in return obtained a deed in fee for the land in Shinnecock neck. Now the question has been raised whether the Indians in 1859 could surrender the rights of their descendants to lands under a lease. There is, however, no doubt in law on this point. It Is as common a practice to surrender a lease for a consideration as to sell lands in fee.

In each case of course the heirs lose the inheritance of the lands surrendered or sold, but unless this liberty existed of parting with property, whether occupied by lease or fee, the affairs of human life would be intolerably impeded. But there is one singular feature of this history that may cause trouble to title. The parties to the lease in 1703 are the "Trustees of the Commonalty of the Town of Southampton," and the Indians. The enabling act lyn; Percy Jones of Brooklyn; George Demar est of Brooklyn; M. Keep, M.

Mr. Mentz does not believe In whipping education into a dog's noddle, and he has taught Vidocq the twenty tricks that she does without once striking her a blow.

The way he did it Is this: The dog Is something ot an epicure. There are many little bits that she is very fond of. A small portion of some one of these her master holds in his hand where she can see it; sometimes he gives her a little smell or taste of it. Then, just in an ordinary tone of voice, such as he would use In addressing an Intelligent child, he says to the dog: "Yes, I know you like this very much and if you will do what I tell you, the way I show you, you shall have it." He then nuts her through the desired mo aquatic athlete. Several times during the past summer the warning cry has rung out in the neighbor LONG ISLAND NOTES.

September 7 With the present system of lighting the village streets so decidedly inadequate to the necessities of the village comes the question, of when the public will get the desired relief. The unanimous opinion is that no system except electricity should be adopted and a movement is now on foot among a few wealthy and prominent business men to organize a company with a plant of sufficient power to successfully carry out any contracts they might receive for electric illumination. The scheme of this proposed company is not only to simply light Flushing village, but to furnish electric power for operating machinery and the extension of its lines to College Point. When the present contract with the gas company was made a clause was inserted giving the trustees permission to adopt any other system on the principal streets of the village at any time during the life of the contract. The men at the head of the proposed new company say that they have been assured that they would be given the contract for lighting 'the exempted streets just as soon as their plant is ready.

SAYBE HOUSE, so many years tnat the enforcement of tho exclusive rights of the new owners is attended with considerable difficulty.

The farmers of the town have been accustomed to make an annual excursion to Montauk for blackberries, huckleberries, beach plums and cranberries, wlien in season, and fishermen, gunners and others annually go there from all points along the island and also from the north shore of the sound. At this time of year parties come over from Connecticut by the boat load; some in sail boats, some in small steamers, on general foraging excursions. All of this the new owners are determined to stop. In order to do so effectively, the proprietors have engaged James Grim shaw, a constable of Easthampton, to go to Montauk and arrest all trespassers. He will ride over the ground as a mounted patrol, his headquarters being at Stratton's Third house and he will remain for a month or longer if necessary.

What will happen to the lonesome horseman when he attempts to capture a party of thirty or more Connecticut invaders, armed with muskets and fowling pieces, remains to be seen. Finally, there is the Indian question to be disposed of. The Montauk tribe of Indians, when the land was sold to the white settlers, reserved certain rights, which, according to Catharine his daughter.

Edward preached in the morning, his faither in the afternoon and William in the evening. Forty five years had gone by since he father first came to minister there, and a generation had passed since he had removed. Tradition and story had treasured and reiterated events that occurred, sayings he had uttered, traits of character he exhibited, gifts that he possessed during his early career, it was said he was so small an Infant that he was put in a silver tankard and the top shut down over his head. That he was an enthusiastic lover of fishing, which was confirmed by his fishing then at Alewive brook for perch and giving especial care and watchful attention to cooking the catch. was said he was fond of bunting, and an ardent pursuer of game.

Stories were told of his fishing and hunting with a company, who secured, as guide, an Indian expert in the then great wilderness of the West, who a first doubted his ability to undergo she toil and hardship of the expedition, but as day tfter day he exhibited increasing elasticity and power of endurance, extorted from the guide the admiring exclamation, "This little old man all Indian."

September 7 The Republican judicial convention of the Second district, comprising all of Long Island pnd Wostches change iwas by Thomas Sayre, who came from Clrcencester, England, in 1642. This house is still pointed out to visitors as the most ancient in the village. It continued in the possession of the descendants of the original owner for ten generations and is now owned by Messrs. Zachariah and Stephen Larry. The old house, which is still in good condition, is overgrown with honeysuckle and other vines.

The timbers in the house are fully two feet in diameter and with their covering of old fashioned cedar shingles promise to withstand the elements for many years to come.

This has been a serious obstacle to their civilization and improvement, and efforts have been made from time to time to induce them to consent to the passage of an act of the legislature impowering them to sell or lease the property either to members of the tribe or to outside parties, but it is a difficult matter, however, to make them understand the object of such proposed law, as tbey very naturally think that any effort of the kind is but a scheme to get control of the property and drive them, off it.

Although none of the Shinnecocks are full blooded Indians, their friends urge that every precaution should be taken to secure for tbem the full value ot the property or an absolute title to It. As to the question of the tribe's title to the property it is said that a syndicate of capitalists, which during the summer has had its agents looking over the tract, is ready to offer a large sum to the Shlnnecock trustees, provided they can give a clear title. This question of the Shlnnecock title is set forth In detail as follows by a correspondent who signs himself G. R. On the 16th day of August, 1703.
