There are very few of the old-time farmers on the north shore of Long Island who have kept their land inheritance intact. The offer of large prices for re-il estate In certain localities has proved a lure, and now dismembered colonial estates have become 'attractive settlements of varying size and quality.

"The Board of Aldermen shall be responsible and shall see that the tide rises and falls every day, and that the surf continues to roll in." From the outline of the colony's charter it must be Been that such important questions as the initiative and referendum, anti-betting laws, municipal ownership of publie and private utilities, suffrage for all sexes and other modern-day problems of legislators and' legislatures are but small as compared with the arduous duties exacted of residents of Lonelyville. The parliament of Lonelyville at the present day, from which there is no appeal, includes besides pater and mater Brewster, number one and two, and pater aud mator Raven and Clock, two smaller Brewsters belonging to Brother Carl three Brewsters aided and a manner tnat he fell away from the car, Wiich was soon out of sight, a heartless peal of laughter floating back on the wind. "Boris was only stunned and soon revived and then, said the farmer, came a most dramatic scene.

Each man turned in the direction the car had taken and though he could not understand the language, he knew they not only cursed the car and its thoughtless occupants, but they also registered some kind of a vow. "The whole thing was like a wierd religious ceremony and not at all comfortable for the man who listened. After they had finished, with great bitterness, the younger man said: 'Too many Idlers; too many too rich; too many kings; damned "The next morning the four appeared all ready for travel, and quietly, as a matter of course, asked for their wages to date, no more, no less; but they were going, and would not return. They made no expression of good will for the family who had treated them well In every particular, but with a curious, sub. dued Intensity seemed eager to get away.

April 11 A bungalow colony will soon be the latest addition to Patchogue's extending population. R. I. Gallucct of Corona having planned to erect a number of log buildings of this order on his recent purchase at East Patchogue. Mr.

Galluccl has a plot of twenty-four acres on what is known as Pine Neck, adjoining Swan River, and has a fine grove of tall trees, which covers about ten acres. The bungalows will contain from four rooms up and rent for the summer from $150 upward. They will be planned to represent a real log cabin, with the rough bark of the tree on the outside giving it that appearance. These little houses will be a decided novelty on Long Island, especially in this section nnd will, undoubtedly, prove a big attraction for city families wanting to spend the slimmer in the country at a small cost. The situation is ideal, adjoining one of the most picturesque streams on the South Side.

DEED FORGERY THE CHARGE. Woodmerw lawyer Pound Guilty of Forging Wife's Name to Title) to Valuable Real Estate.

fSpeclal to the Mlneola, L. April 11 Although more than two years have elapsed since Benjamin Valentine, a lawyer of Woodmere, was convicted of having uttered, offered and put off as true a forged deed, he is still at liberty, and there. seems no probability of his ever being sentenced. Th appeal taken by him from the judgment of oonvlctlon bas not been argued, and It Is uncertain when it will be. Valentlns has been at liberty, under, bail, on a certificate of reasonable doubt, granted by Justice Watson M.

Rogers ot Watertown. who presided at the extraordinary term of Supreme Court, convened by direction of the late Governor Hlg-glns. At the trial Valentine's counsel, Timothy M. Grlffing. now county judge of Suffolk, moved before Justice Rogers at it commencement to dismiss the indictment on the ground that the Instrument did not specify the crime, as required by law.

and, did not specify an act constituting a crime, if any was charged. Justice Rogers denied the motion, which was renewed at the conclusion of the people's side of the case. After a verdict had been rendered by the jury Counselor Grlffing moved for a new trial on the ground of uon-jurisdiction and, on the grounds contained in the original motion, to dsimiss the indictment. Justluo Rogers, addressing District Attorney Franklin at the time said: "Mr niaiei.t niiuiiic. Lijtit Hi aeriuur.

questions raised regarding the Indictment against the defendant. If I denied the motion of Mr Grilling to dismiss, with perhaps a little more promptness than otherwise. I did so because, if I made an error, It could not be easily corrected." From the remarks of the Justice it wM inferred by many that he held doubts as to the legality of the indictment. Argument on thp alleged flaws in th Indictment was heard by Justice Rogers and then a certificate of reasonable doubt was granted. The Indictment against Valentine was found by a Grand Jury sitting at a term of Supremo Court when James P.

Niemann was district attorney, prior to the Incumbency of District Attorney Coles. The Indictment was a left-over for Mr. Coles to dispose of District Attorney Coles, when asked recently why the appeal of Valentine had taken so long a tlinvv.lu-xoaio up for sr- gument, said that tbe delay had been caused by reason of the time consume! In getting the case on appeal printed, til testimony being very long, with a numbelt of exhibils. while there arose at Inter vals a question as to whether some of tbe testimony should go into the case on ap peal. Asked if there was any doubt as to whether the indictment ou which Valentine was tried and convirted would stand the test on appeal, the district attorney declined to express an opinloo.

The case ugainst Valentine was one of the most peculiar in diameter, and the I our; between his conviction and argument of an appeal, has established a precedent in the annate ot Nassau County courts. The deed whii-h was involved In the case was recorded in the Nassau County clerk's office in seven years after It execution. It. purported to convey front Valentine's wife, Marie Antoinette Storrs Valentine, some years deceased, to Vl- enlnie's mother. Kllzubctb H.

Valenti.e, also now deceased, seven lots In Cedar hurst, L. 1., and mining property In Placer County. California. Valentine appeared as subscribing witness to tbe deed. The property was of considerable value.

At the trial, it was contended by Iho people, and sought to be proved by testimony Hint seven yars before Valentine filed the deed bearing the name of his wife, and alleged to be fraudulent and forged, sho had conveyed the Cedar-hurst property to S. I'. Hinckley, Valentine drawing up the contract. The deed filed In 1800. as stated, purported to convey the cauiu Cedarhural.

property and the mining property in California from Valentine's wife, to his mother who was alive at the time of his trial, but was not a witness, she being 'very old woman. An action was brought to compel Vsl-eniiue to re-execute th" California deed, and the deed as it related to the Cedar-hurst property, which was set aside bv the late Supreme Court Justlee umoo M. Smith, and the record of the county" clerk shows the revocation by order ot th court. It was shown at the trial, concerning; the alleged fraudulent and forged deed. that Valentine was an important factor In the Cedarhurst company.

SMALL BAY HAS VANISHED TSo Bridges Needed Now to Beach Bathing Beach Many Eemoval of Pavilions Necessary. When the ummer resident and visit-t get dawn to Far Rockaway' ocean front this spring they will find that a re Jnarkable change has taken place elnce ilast season. They will see that the outer beach has practically disappeared and that tn lta place a new beaoh baa formed (where the quiet waters of Far Rockaway flowed last year.

These changes are 'the result of the lashing of the seas dur ling the winter months. In order to make clear the exact con at Far Rockaway, It Is necessary jo say that the bathing beach at that popular resort was on Hog Island, a sand war situated about 300 or 400 feet off the jaipland. from which it was separated by ('Far Rockaway Bay, a shallow sheet of water extending from an inlet through jithe bathing beach at the eastern, or 0- tend, end to Norton Creek, at Edge' mere. Not many years ago it was necessary to terry across the bay in order to reach the bathing beach, and later the bay be-'eame so shallow that It was impossible to navigate a boat, and foot bridges were then built over the bay to the outer beach. In years past, Hog Island, aa the outer beach is known on the War Department maps, was often swept by the heavy seas' during the winter months and bathing pavilions carried away.

but. the changes made In the last winter are of an entirely different nature and have finer bathing beach than Far Rockaway has enjoyed for many years. 'Bathing Pavilion Now Out Among the Breakers. Last summer there was a wide expanse of sandy beach in front of Caffrey's Pa Tilion and Roche's baths, and the bathing "houses were well back from the high water mark, as will be noted by referring jto the illustrations. During the winter 'the angry seas made great inroads on jthe shifting sands and cut away thousands of tons of sand and demolished a of the bathing houses at the Caf-frey Pavilion, which now stands well out in the breakers even at low tide The showing the present location of the pavilion was made at about half tide, -nd shows the waves rolling up on the where only last summer the peo-'ple used to sit in the sand and watch the bathers tumble about In the surf.

The eastern end of the sandy strip, iwhich formerly was only a narrow bar, Submerged at frequent periods by tides somewhat higher than usual. has changed into a wide expanse of clear white sand, extending from the ocean's 'edge all the way back to the cottages, which formerly fronted directly on Far iRockaway Bay. The bay at this end has completely disanpeared, the seas during ihe winter having -ct the sand from the iiormor beach and carried it back, thus jBlling in the bay; The illustration shows the new beach, reaching right up to the Icottages at Ostend 'Inlet Shifted Several Hundred Feet. The inlet which last year connected the ifcay with the ocean, and which has gradually moved farther to the west for the last thirty or more years or. in fact, es far back as the oldest inhabitant can jrecollect took a sudden Jump during the llast winter, and instead of moving a few iteet.

as was the case in former years, ehifted several hundred feet and is now Bowing through the beach immediately west of Roche's bathhouses and the trolley trestle across the bay, and connects 'what is left of Far Rockaway Bay. Persons will no longer be able to walk alone the beach from Far Rockaway to Edgemere, and the "private bathing grounds of the aristocratic residents of the Wave CreBt section will not bo trespassed upon. Ocean's Inroads Make Many Changes Necessary. The changes to the beach and the encroachment of the ocean have made It necessary to move the bathing houses back and this work has already been by the Banister Realty Company, which owns the eastern half of the -beach. The old houses will be torn down and the pavilions and newer houses will ie placed on heavy timbers and moved back over what was formerly the bay.

ibut isnow a high, sandy beach. An attractive front will be built on the 8outh treat side of the bathing houses, and a covered walk will be built leading down the ocean front, where a -spacious and casino and restaurant will be located. It will be remembered that about a year ago an action was brought against the Banister Realty Company by the federal government to prevent it from driving piles and filling up the inlet connecting the ocean and Far Rockaway Bay. the government contending that It was a navigable stream, a claim which very resident of Far Rockaway thought most humorous, for the bay has not been navigable for some yeara. The case was dismissed recently in the United States Circuit Court by Justice Chatfield, the government concurring in the motion to dismiss because nature had Oiled lip the inlet and thus rendered no further action necessity.

As has already been stated, "Far Rock-away's bathing beach in the past was located several hundred feet south of the upland and separated by a body of water While this condition is now entirely changed, another change Is rapidly be-. ing made off shore and to the east. Long Bar Is Forming Off Lawrence. Stretching out from the beach at Lawrence, a long and high bar is forming. This bar is already very prominent and reaches well down the coast to a point not a great ways to the eaBt of the Ostend property.

This bar about J.Ci' feet off shore and is forming re-v ranidlv and is plainly seen at low tl while at high water the seas breek It. It Is very probabI that" in t'-r i perhaps in the near future, tb's bar 1 extend all the way across Far Rock-away's ocean front and that it will then again become necessary 10 lerry cr a new body.r.r landlocked water in order to enjov sur' biittvng. The filling In -f Far Rockaway Bay by the elpments is a hmn to those who have rottaEes in the neighborhood of 'he bay With an Inlet at the extreme eastern end all the refuse was carried up the bay to hc western end and there deposited to be on the exposed bottom at low tid and send'ne forth nan-seating stench" The fllllng in of the ba" is therefor looked on a i Me improvement and the present tn't I to fill up axt 'nr or possihty soonrr and thoa do away with the nuisance entirely MCNALLT ASSOCIATION BALL.

Joking aside, however, this select spot on the beach, which Includes about 100 acres, lies directly opposite Bay Shore, only a mile to the weBt of Ocean Beach and three miles west of Point o' Woods.

That Is the best of good news for all lovers of the charming thoroughfare, running along for miles in sight of the Great South Bay and lined on either side by the homes of families prominent in the social and political life of Greater York. No thoroughfare in the state Is better known than the South, or Merrick road, and hundreds who know it only as they remember hiving ridden over It on a wheel when the bicycle craze was at its height wiil join with owners of property fronting it in rejoicing that Its picturesque stretches will not be given over to trolley tracks.

Three prominent Long Island hotels have been burned during the past twelve months the Long Beach, the Brooklyn at Centre Moriches and the Shlnnecock Inn on-the famous hills bearing that name. A new, bigger and better Long Beach Hotel has been planned one as far superior to the original as that one was in advance of the first fisherman's hut erected on the sandy shore, and when It is completed the Long Beach of a decade ago will not be recognized in the resort that wealth and enterprise has planned, and which is now growing up on the ocean front. Other and belter hoslelrles will no doubt be built in due time at quaint Centre Moriches and on the wind swept Sbinnecock Hills. Long Island's line to city dwellers is so strong thai none who answer It will be left without accommodations, no matter to what section of the cltyl they may flock. 1 While at court in Riverhead this week.

Judge George Stackpole of Riverhead told a joke on himself which was occasioned through a visit at one time, to Justice Jaycox. who was presiding at the trial term at Suffolk's County seat.

I waited around a spell, and as he did not appear, I started out to see Patchogue by the early morning light.
