QUEENS BOROUGH. ON THE STREET" CORRECTS THE MAYOR Reminds Him Judge Cragen, Now Under Indictment, Ran on Ticket With Him. MAYOR OVERLOOKED THAT. Boom for Cocks for Governor Appeals to M. O.

Advice for Lucien Knapp. The appointment of John J. Simmons superintendent of the of Flushing as Building Department in Queens, to succeed Carl Berger, is one of the most popular appointments that Borough President Lawrence Gresser has ever made. Mr. Simmons' friends a unit in declaring that he will serve with credit.

Needless to say, he is not a politician, and says he does not intend to be one. My attention has been called to the communication that Mayor Gaynor sent to District Attorney Frederick G. De Witt regarding Municipal Court Justice John M. Cragen, Mr. Gresser's secretary, in relation to the postage stamp scandal, and in which the Mayor refers to Justice Cragen as "having been elected on the Independence League, or Hearst, -ticket, last fall." Is the Mayor ignorant of the fact that Justice Cragen's name appeared on the ticket headed by William J.

Gaynor for Mayor? Colonel William M. Griffith has appointed Joseph De Bragga, Theron H. Burden, Solon G. Bishop and A. Melrose Simpson a committee represent the Republican County Committee on the arrival of Colonel Roosevelt in America.

But why is Flushing not represented? -Sheriff Herbert S. Harvey was getting shaved the other day when a reporter came in the shop with his hand bandaged. "What is the trouble?" kindly asked Harvey. "A run-around," was the answer. "Sorry," said the ex-sheriff.

"I have to run-around, too." Next month, the Supreme Court in Queens will be called upon to approve of the appointment of commissioners in over a dozen condemnation proceedings. I got a tip to watch out for the list and I would learn that very few Republicans will be lucky enough to be among the chosen ones. What is the trouble? Are the Republican leaders sleeping? The Jefferson Democratic Club of Flushing will have a house warming next Thursday evening at the new clubhouse, at 107 Broadway. I am told that many prominent politicians will be in attendance, and that County Judge Burt J. Humphreys will be the or tor of the evening.

I have been of the impression that the Jeffersonians in Flushing were Cassidyites, in view of their indorsements in past primaries, but one of its members, who invited me to attend the festivities, denied that it was a one organization, and added that it is the only bona fide Democratic organization in Flushing. I have been wondering ever since what "Paddy" Mara and ex-Sheriff Harvey think about that. I agree with the Jamaica man who thinks that it would be interesting to have a list of those who have made applications to the Republican County Committee for appointment to public office, and also a list of those who have been appointed during the present city adminstration. While we are at it, why not also have a list of Democratic lawyers who have received refereeships, from Republican judges? I note that a boom has been started in favor of Congressman William W. Cocks of Westbury for Governor to succeed Hughes, and I must confess that the boom has been taken up in earnest by the congressman's many friends, who rightly say that a better man could not be selected.

At Washington, the Quaker congressman has made nearly as many friends as he has on Long Island, and that, we all admit, is saying a great deal. As a political campaigner, Mr. Cocks is second to none, for be has a faculty of making a lasting impression on his audience. Then, too, Mr. Cocks is a great favorite of Colonel Roosevelt, and the two of them campaigning would be hound to break all records.

Lucien Knapp, former treasurer of Long Island City, tells that on the edvent of consolidation with the City of New York. Long Island City turned over to the city over $1,000,000, and that it was not burdened with large contracts for all kinds of public work, and that it had a clean docket as to sinecure and graft jobs of any kind. That was an excellent record for Treasurer Knapp, but I am surprised I that he now says that in view of the measly treatment they have received from city officials, he has often regretted that he did not aid or permit a clean sweep of every dollar and the building of a mountain of contracts for everything to be wished for in their future growth. Get over that feeling, Mr. Knapp.

We in Queens may yet live to see the day when we shall get our money's worth. THE MAN ON THE STREET. TALKED OF CIVIL WAR DAYS. Veterans of Great Conflict Address Flushing H. S.

Students. At the Memorial Day exercises held at the Flushing High School yesterday, the students were honored by the presence of A. E. Sholes, Louis Latimer, James F. Couder and Captain James W.

Mr. Couden spoke on "The Girl I Left Behind Me," and referred to the mothers. wives and sweethearts whose patriotism coaxed many a man into the ranks.

He received his early education in the College of Vienna, where he distinguished himself by diligence and exemplary conduct. At the age of fifteen he came to America and soon began his ecclesiastical studies.

He found a warm friend in Father Huber, who was 1n charge of St. Fidelis Church. Father Huber sent him to the Precious Blood Seminary of St. Charles Borromeo, Ohio, and on May 30, 1885, he was ordained by Archbishop Elder, at Cincinnati, soon took charge of the Church of the Sacred Heart at McCartyrille, Ohio, and of St. Patrick's.

After four years of hard labor in those missions he was asked by Father Huber to become assistant to the College Point Church. He accepted, and on the day after his arrival Father Huber died. He was soon made rector of the church, and since he has been in charge about he has made numerous improvements built a. high school church property.

Previous to that College Point Catholics were obliged to walk to Flushing to a attend mass. HAD GOOD LOOK AT THE COMET People of Several Long Island Villages Are New Convinced It Has an Existence.

(Special to The Eagle.) Sea Cliff, L. May 28-The muchCliff people a sight itself last night. talked -of comet, actually, vouchsafed Sea It was the first time it was visible at a reasonable hour, and pretty nearly everybody saw it. A moving picture show was in progress at Central Hall, and Manager Abeles, when he learned that the comet was plainly visible, invited the audience to go outside, holding up the exhibition till the comet had had its innings. The heavenly visitor was visible from soon after dark until nearly 10 o'clock.

The stars surrounding it were of unusual number and brilliancy, but most of them retired for the night about the time the comet vanished. Lots of people who had begun to regard the comet as a myth saw and were convinced last night. Rockville Centre. L. May 28-t Halley's comet was plainly visible to the naked eye last night, for about an hour.

It was first noticed about 8:50, and set about 9:50. The comet was very bright, and the much-talked-of tail was distinctly visible, in spite of its being a fine moonlight night. The news that the comet had at last arrived soon spread through the village, and people turned out in large, numbers to get a view of the celestial wanderer. HOUSE EUCHRE AT THE BEACH. This evening Echo Council, Daughters of Liberty, of Rockaway Beach, will hold a house euchre at the residence of Mrs.

George F. Vreeland in North Hammel avenue. OUT ON LONG ISLAND. It 1s stated for the enlightenment of several able editors in Suffolk County, that The Eagle has never announced that Governor Hughes has signed the Long Island Agricultural College bill. The statement was made by a Brooklyn paper, but not by The Eagle--and the "Lews" did not come from Albany at that.

There's a freak of nature down in Mattituck-a -legged chicken. It was recently hatched out by an industrious and estimable hen owned by Thomas Pearce, and is still alive and doing well. No one has interviewed the maternal ancestor of the feathered freak to learn what she thinks about it. Complimenting Station Agent Birs of Sag Harbor upon his efficient work of improvement at the depot grounds there, the editor of the Express refers to Mr. Birs as being in "a constant state ot eruption." The editor qualifes his statement by declaring that the agent is not a volcano, however.

Bellport boasts of a citizen who not only claims to have seen Halley's comet, but vows he saw two in a neck and neck race across the firmament. The Bellport star gazer says it was a close race, but he is inclined to think the comet he recognized as Halley's had a trifle the better of the contest. Too bad he did not get a snapshot of the wondrous sight. Mrs. Russell Sage may well be termed Sag Harbor's Lady Bountiful.

Her gift to the village of the splendid Jermain Memorial Library, pictured in the Eagle recently, is supplemented by a complete outfit of 5,000 or more books and an ample endowment, so that the library can be maintained without the people taxing themselves. The ducks are working west in Suffolk County, and the deer are going cast, apparently. A West Sayville Hollander is about to establish a duck ranch there, Importing eggs from Holland. An engineer on a passing train saw a herd of four deer browsing in the scrub oaks between Easthampton and Wainscott the other day. There may be good deer hunting on the east end in a few years.

When the editor of the Easthampton Star goes to church, he likes to see as well as hear the preacher and the singers. He editorially remonstrates against having his view cut off, and asks this question: "Why should a woman think she is privileged to wear to church a hat 80 large as to prove an effectual screen between those back of her and the minister and choir? Should not our neighbor's rights be respected in church as well as elsewhere?" The Bay Shore Journal is getting on in years. With its issue for last week it began its thirty-seventh volume. The Journal was founded at Northport in the early 70's and a decade or so later was "transplanted" in Bay Shore by the late Frank A. Johnson, who was termed the Horace Greeley of Suffolk's Fourth Estate.

Mr. Johnson died "in harness" for a time the paper was managed and edited, at long range, by Mr. Johnson's kinsman, the recently deceased Joseph R. White, then and until his! LONG ISLAND NEWS. WORKMAN BADLY HURT.

Fell Between Floor Beams in New School in Evergreen. While working on the first door of Public School No. 77 now in the course of construction at the corner of Covert avenue and Center street, Evergreen, shortly before noon on Thursday, Dominic Feola, an Italian, fell through the door beams and sustained a severe gash on the left arm. He was walking across the cement flooring, which he supposed A to be hard, but in places the cement had not yet hardened, and it was through one of these soft places that he fell. As he felt himself descending he caught one of the iron floor beams with his left hand, and in 50 doing gashed his left arm on the rough iron, which cut in, exposing the bone for several inches.

Here he clung, suffering untold agonies from the bone pressing against the cold iron, until he was lifted down by some of his fellow workmen. He was attended by Ambulance Surgeon Byrne of the German Hospital and was then taken to his bome. TRIAL CONCERT PROMISED. Band Music in Forest Park Some Time in July, Commissioner Kennedy's Pledge. In answer to the appeals of Homestead Civic Association of Woodhaven Park, Commissioner Kennedy has promIsed that there will be a trial band concert in Forest Park, probably some time in July.

At the last meeting of the asA sociation the matter was brought up, and it was urged by the members that music ought to be furnished in the park. A committee of the organization, consisting of William Wagner and Mr. Wedell, visited Commissioner Kennedy and talked the matter over. The commissioner said that he would give a trial concert to see what the wish of the people was, and held out considerable hope that regular concerts might be arranged for it the attendance at the trial concert was large enough to warrant it. The selection of the site for the bandstand wag left to the Homestead Civic Association, but no spot has yet been agreed upon.

Interests Opposed to Measure South Shore Traction Company Wanted. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, May 28-The Belmont interests have defeated the Hubbs-Thompson bill allow surface railroads to cross the city's water pipe lines in Suffolk and Nassau counties, 011 approval of the Board of Estimate. The bill, after passing the Senate yesterday morning, was held up in the rules committee of the Assembly, thus insuring its defeat.

It is charged here that the BelmontInterborough transit interests and the Long Island Railroad are responsible for the pressure that was brought to bear to keep the bill from a vote on the floor of the Assembly yesterday. The Belmont traction interests do not wish the South Shore Traction Company to be enabled to compete in Queens County and elsewhere on Long Island with their existing lines. Senator Hubbs is very indignant about the matter, as he says that the bill would have resulted in a great boom for the South Side of Long Island. The Senator yesterday, after a short fight, succeeded in passing the bill introduced by him and Assemblyman Thompson of Suffolk County. The bill was in the interest of the South Shore Traction Company, which is unable to connect its segments of track along the south shore of Long Island with its lines in Queens Borough, owing to the fact that it has been unable to cross the narrow strips of property occupied by the water mains owned by the city.

The bill has been denounced by Senator Wagner of New York, who opposed it because he believes that the crossing of trolley lines over the water mains will cause electrolysis of the big pipes. Senator Hubbs says that this is nonsense, and that the Mayor and the Board of Estimate can be trusted to take care of the city. The bill merely gave the right of crossing over short strips of the city's property for a limited number of years, and did not give any permanent rights in the land, nor did it allow the railroad company to use the strips under which the water pipes ran for any distance.

Cedarhurst Man Died From Hurts Received in Trying to Stop a Runaway Team, (Special to The Eagle.) Cedarhurst, L. May 28-Irving Mills, superintendent of the Meadow Edge Dairy Farm, at this place, died at his home here yesterday from injuries received on May 13, when he attempted to stop a runaway team of horses.

On that day Mills saw a team of horses, a attached to a farm wagon belonging to the dairy, running away, with the driver trying his utmost to stop them, Mills ran across lots and tried to grasp the bridle of the horses, as they came up, but was dragged along the ground, trampled upon, and finally dropped and was run over. The horses ran on for 1 way and were finally stopped by the driver. Mills was picked up, and was found to be seriously injured internally. He was removed to his home and given medical attention, and seemed on the road to recovery, when a change for the worse set In on Thursday, and he died yesterday. Meadow Edge Farm is owned by the estate of the late Franklin B.

The new dining room is a mar provement, brightly attractive irregular shape, little tables and china, and many windows with outlooks.

From the fireplace wall an oil pd' of the wife of the founder, Stewart, looks down on the chant groups of girls. On a recent field day room was tistically decorated with the colors of the senlors and junior classes, and the hospitality of the school was expressed in a luncheon for visiting guests. A notable feature of the new wing is the beautiful little chapel, where are held the regular morning and evening and special services. It is here the alumnae propose to have placed their memorial to Miss Gibson, the beloved principal, who was Miss Bytel's predecessor. Of unique interest are the small brass tablets which have begun to form a line around the chapel, and on which are inscribed the names the gold medal ners.

On one appears the two names of pupils who were of such equal and unquestioned merit as to demand a medal for each. Commencement day now differs widely from those of former years, and its SOcial side is quite apart from the educational, which is viewed, from its distinctive character, as a church institution--a part of the Cathedral system--and its morning service in the Cathedral, with the bishop's address, is a separate link in the chain of observances, others of which are most festive. The commencement dance takes place in the evening of June 4, and is given at the Casino by the seniors. On Tuesday of commencement week the alumni dinner at the Garden City Hotel is a feature of enjoyable interest. The school standard, as at present outlined, is "To secure good scholarship, to make school life happy and wholesome.

and to base both life and study upon a foundation of religious principle. It insists upon the habits of courtesy, order and punctuality, which are essential in any point of life. No girl who is impatient of control, or in any other way out of harmony with the school life, will be allowed to remain." This has the sound of "Mede and Persian" law. Surely nothing could be more decisive Or comprehensive, or to the point, as considering a sane and reasonable school life for girl. St.

Mary's principal is Miss Miriam Bytel, B.A., a graduate of Radcliffe College, and the faculty is composed of graduates from Bryn Mawr, Wells, Allegheny, University of Pennsylvania, Colum. bia University, Universite de Paris and Seminar zu Stettin. The school has what might be called a lighter vein in its kindergarten and physical culture classes. The kindergarten provides for the younger children of Garden City residents, and marks a beginning of school life which may be continued under one roof to the graduation period. The culture course includes, physteal, with basketball, tennis and hockey, the esthetic and folk dances, which are especially fine for developing grace, poise and ease, and an all-around exercise on attractive and beautiful lines.

For the present term there were over fifty boarders and sixty day pupils, and a supplementary note of education 19 sounded in the arrangement of lecture's given at the Casino from the Brooklyn Institute course. Besides these are talks' by members of St. Mary's faculty, and colleges of such note as Wellesley. Supplementary is the provision for the senior class to visit art exhibitions and the museums in Manhattan and Brooklyn. There are always, independent of the school routine, little activities of interest.

The eight editors of The Annual see that a fitting record of school life can be had by each pupil. The dramatic association furnishes basis which can provide funds for some special project of school interest. One recently given at the Casino made possible a money gift to the Church Charity Foundation, and during Lent and Advent small penances resulted in helping domestic missions. A pleasant social side is when Halloween and Christmas are observed with special recogaition. Before the breaking up for holiday vacation there is a Christmas dinner, with all the delightful decorations, emphasized by little Christmas trees on the tables, where are placed gifts for teachers and pupils.

It is of interest to note that the gold cross is awarded to the pupil attaining the highest general average in the junior and senior classes. A silver medal (the dean's prize) is given for excellence in classics. Another prize, provided by the late Colonel Delancey Floyd-Jones, is offered for the best work in botany, and Mrs. Clarence. H.

Mackay, a consistent patron of education. offers a prize to be given this year for the best work In English in the eighth, ninth and junior grades. Prizes are also offered in memof Miss Gibson for the highest average in eighth and ninth grade Latin, and in fifth and sixth grade arithmetic. The Garden City of the future has wonderful possibilities, because it provides for many sided interests, and its ability to furnish the important supplementary forces which make ideal homes, and the men engaged in hand and building development have the unusual advantages accruing from Cathedral the founder's provision. for the system, which includes such educational features as furnished by its two schools.

G. M. C. death, employed in the Brooklyn Eagle's composing room. After a time the paper was sold to B.

F. Ashley, a veteran Westchester County newspaper man, since deceased, and he in turn disposed of It to the present owner, Irvin J. Long, No man who ever addressed political and other gatherings in Suffolk and Queens counties had a greater number of admirers than the late James W. Covert, Congressman and Senator. He was an exceptionally eloquent a real orator--and his neighbors in those two, then rural, counties enjoyed hearing his addresses, no matter what his topic.

He was in great demand as a stump speaker and at school commencements and like affairs. His manners were courtly, his bearing dignified, and he possessed great personal magnetism. Many who had not met him in years were sincerely sorry to read of his death. They have a pleasant way of doing good down at Greenport. A few days ago some friends of Thomas Campion, the senior truckman of that seaport, decided he should have a new horse and harness.

The money was raised, and horse and harness purchased. One afternoon the captain of a steam yacht being commissioned at a local shipyard, invited Mr. Campion to go aboard the craft for a chat, and while the truckman was gone a party which had assisted in raising the funds, unhitched his wornout horse from the wagon and in his place put a fine animal of noble proportions. When Mr. Campion came out he was almost bewildered.

He said that was his wagon, but it wasn't his horse. After a while the whole thing was explained. The old horse was taken to Shelter Island, where he will be allowed to end his days in peace and quiet. There was a variety of weather on Long Island on Saturday afternoon, May 14. The Port Jefferson Echo reports that a trainman on the train leaving that place at 2:26 P.M., noted that no rain had fallen there then.

At Smithtown a copious rain had fallen; at Northport it was dry; it was raining at Huntington; at Cold Spring the ground was covered with snow, and from that point in to Long Island City there was a downpour of rain. H. C. Floyd and C. F.

Roe drove to Medford the same afternoon. When they reached that point they found the ground covered. with about two inches of snow." The Hempstead Sentinel notes that on the same day Cornelius A. Duryea, while returning from Cold Spring, stopped on the road near Woodbury and made a snowball of hail and snow mixed. He brought it to Hempstead and showed it to several persons.

He said that he did not notice any change in the atmosphere during the day until he reached that particular place where the ground was covered with snow. and the horses breath showed nearly as plainly as in winter weather. Mattituck has a citizen, Ross Dayton. who seemingly has a charmed life. An experience that befell him a few days ago.

as described by the Review, is certainly remarkable. Mr. Dayton was driving on Sound avenue, a Riverhead suburb, when he was run down by a big. high- powered automobile. The car, running on a hightension magneto, was traveling eastward at a speed not less than fifty miles an hour, and the high-pitched burr of the magneto could be heard a quarter of al mile away, like a swarm of angry bees.

It is probable that this peculiar, irritating noise rapidly moving car was the cause of the accident, as the horse which Mr. Dayton was driving, while ordinarily gentle and not afraid of automobiles, seemed paralyzed with terror, and when the whip was used it sprang to one side, only to be struck, bowled over and dragged by the car. Mr. Dayton was thrown out and rolled over in the dirt, but, almost by a miracle, he escaped injury. The horse, though somewhat cut about the legs, also experienced a remarkable escape from serious injury, but the carriage, a new one.

being used for the first time, was badly wrecked. In an effort to escape collision the car was turned sharply, left the road and plowed deep furrows in a newly-planted potato lot. It fetched up with its wheels deep in the soft earth, but was undamaged. Five men occupied the car, but their Identity is at present unknown. The thing most talked about in BabyIon these days is the sale of the South Side Signal to a syndicate of local capitalists and the retirement of Elbert Carll Livingston from the ownership and management.

It is the first time in forty-one years that there has not been a Livingston at the bead of the paper. The understanding about town is that the new owners are required to carry at the head of the editorial page for all time the words, "Founded by Henry Livingston, 1869." It was the founder of the Signal who advertised to give a birdseye view of Long Island with each subscription to his paper, and who, when asked by somaone where was his picture of Long Island, wrote back, "Look at the top of the first page of your paper; there's a birdseye view." He referred to the heading of the paper, which is unique among things of its kind and has never yet been changed. It the new owners make the paper eight pages in size and do away with the old blanket sheet, as is understood to te their plan, they will have to reduce the famous old heading or do away with it entirely. A lot of 1ll-feeling has been stirred up by the sale of the Signal plant and good -will, and as a result Babylon may have another paper. It will be established by Justice James B.

Cooper, who edited the Signal after the senior Livingston's death some years ago, and who wanted to buy the paper, but who was not able to do so, although he is said to have offered more money than the new owners paid. The magistrate's friends will help him to establish a rival to the Signal. Babylon had a paper before the Signal was established -the old Suffolk Democrat, now the Huntington Bulletin. After the late Henry Livingston founded his paper with the alliterative title, another, with the scarcely less alliterative name, the BabyIon Budget, was established by the late Judge John R. Reid and others.

It had a varied career, and was finally absorbed by the Signal. Then the Long Island News was established, only to die in its Infancy. The latest rival to the Signal was the Babylon Hustler, which lived but a. short time. Now is to come the "brain child" of the former chief of the Signal's sanctum, the length cf whose days is yet to be determined.

The men who are behind the new enterprise are sanguine of success, however, and say that they will make their paper a readable and popular production. SAY HE HAS BAD RECORD. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L. May 28-In the Nassau County Jail, awaiting action of the Suffolk County grand jury, and later in all probability, that of Nassau County, is William Richter, whom the authorities believe to be one of the slickest and boldest daylight thieves who ever worked on Long Island.

His operations are said to have covered an extended territory. The authorities declare they have proof against Richter. County Detective Phineas A. Seaman of Nassau County, had been on his trail for soma time, sets el ado id..
