Men's clothing is practically a new feature with us. Up to now we have handled it only sparingly. Boys' clothing, however, was always carried on quite an extensive scale.

But to day marks a new epoch in the Simpson Crawford Co. clothing business for man and boy. We mean that our clothing department rank with the largest and finest in New York City. When arrangements are ail completed it wili cover as much floor space as any we know of. But let's get down to the meat in the the clothing part of it.

To start off, we must tell you what kind of clothing is represented. "The best in the world." By that we mean that every quality is worthy and reliable and the best in its respective grade. As Simpson Crawford gowns, millinery, laces, are looked upon, as the acme of elegance and excellence, so shall Simpson Crawford clothing for man and boy be recognized and ranked. Tone and individuality are its strong virtues. It is impossible to get better, for every merchant tailoring detail is looked after.

The man's suit or overcoat that we price at or $30 will not be bettered by your best custom tailor's $40 to $J0 product. Our $10 garments, we think, are better than the most meritorious you've ever known heretofore at that price. These are leaders with us. The choicest of American fabrics are embraced, including fine quality fancy worsteds, striDed and plain serges, cassimeres, cheviots, flannels, There are styles for the young natty fellows and the more conservative sort for the business man. And the Same Way in Boys' Clothing Always a little better than you have ever gotten before for the money.

And so, with quality in mind, you will find that our prices are absolutely the lowest. In making this broad statement we are guided by facts alone. Every careful, economical and discriminating man and mother of boys should cultivate the acquaintance of our clothing department as early as possible. But words count for little. Come and see.

We are ready at all times to stand the crucial test of comparison. Boys' Suits begin at $2.95 and advance to as high as $15. Our Young' Men's Suits begin at $7 50 and advance to as high as S2S. We desire to specially state that our Young Men's Clothing is manufactured by men's clothing tailors, thus possessing features not found in the usual young men's ready to wear sorts. We are very strong in our Children's $5 Suits, and show styles at this price which cannot be matched for beauty or exclusiveness under $7 to $7 50.

Quality, too, is far better than $5 usually commands. We are also very strong in exclusive foreign novelties for boys of from 3 to 12 years. OUR SHOWING OF CHILDREN'S HEADWEAR is very large and embraces all the novelties and staple styles; prices 50c. to S5. Men's Hat Department.

March 7 The Westbury Quaker Meeting House, one of the oldest his toric, landmarks of Long Island, located; about a mile and a half norih of Westbury i station, was burned to the ground yesterday. The cause of the fire is unknown. A meet ing was held in the building Wednesday and the conflagration might have started from the fire in the stove. The building was in sured for $2,000 and will probably be rebuilt. The burned building was over 100 years old.

having been built in 1S01. to replace a meeting house belonging to the same Society of Friends, which was burned down. The centenary of the structure was celebrated last year. It. was a plain structure, without altar or pulpit and was located in the midst of a primeval forest, some of the oaks and cypresses being between 200 and .100 years old.

in which generations of squirrels and birds had made their nests undisturbed for centuries. The society on Long Island was founded in the time of Peter Smyvesant and In the possession of John D. Hicks of Westbury is a complete set of records of the meetings and doings of the Friends on the island from that time to the present. In the old Quaker burial ground at Westbury are found gravestones erected long previous to the time of tl building of the Hickaite Quaker Meeting House, preceding the present one on the same site, in 1776.

Dr. Seaman then asked Mr. Baxter if Mrs. Hall knew it was a deed when she signed the paper and the lawyer replied that she did not. Other witnesses were placed on the stand to substantiate Mrs.

Hall's testimony and the plaintiff rested. The first witness for the defense was Mr. Baxter and he testified that he had acted as Mrs. Hall's attorney in a suit brought against her to take away Fox Island and that he took the ease under these circum stances. He had built a small summer house on part, of Mrs.

Kali's property and while there one day Mrs. Hall came to him and said that a suit had ien started against her to try and ake possession of Fox Island, that she as without r.ir.ds to fight the case and hat if he would a as her attorney she would give him all of her land, provided she won the case, and that he. Baxter, would givo her a life interest in the property. then told Mrs. Hal! that he did not want hr land and she then replied that if he would take the eas sh" would give him a drr to half 0' the property, and with this und' rsranding took her case and won It.

ome rime after he on Mrs. Hall and told nr that the case might be carried to higher court and that he had been to a great deal of expense and would probably be put. to morr and that she was an old woman and in event her death be would have nothing to show for his services, and asked Mrs. Hall if she wa willing to sign a deed conveying to him an undivided half interest in her property known as Fox Island. All of this conversation, he said, took place In the presence of Artie Craft, and Mrs.

Hall stated that she did not want Mr. Baxter to lose anything and she was willing io sign the deed. So the party proceeded in a buggy to have it sworn to before a notary and while on the way Mrs. Hall signed the deed by making her cross and it was witnessed by Craft. Mr.

Craft asked Mrs. Hall at the time of witnessing the paper if she knew what it was and she replied that it. was a deed to a half interest in Fox Island and that she was giving it to Baxter for what he did for her. The defense next placed A. D.

Craft of Locust Valley on the stand, and he substantially corroborated the defendant's testimony under a rigid cross examination. Charles Weeks of Port Washington, an other witness for the defense, testified that on November lfiOO, he heard Mrs. Hall tell Mr. Baxter that she would deed him Fox Island if he would let her spend the remainder of life on the properly. The witness was not cross examined.

This closed the rase and the judge gave the opinion that the signing of the deed was not a conscious ao nn the part, of Mrs. Hall, and that it should he canceled. He. however, reserved his decision for five days and ordered brief to be submitted. The property involved is a strip of land known as Island and has grown very valuable in recent years on account of its water frontage, and Mrs.

Hall has been offereil SllJittO for it recently. COULDN'T GET INTO THE JAIL. Riverhead. March 7 Supervisor Edwin Bailey. of Pat 'hogtic.

March 7 The case of Sarah M. Hall against Allen Percy Baxter, a lawyer of Port Washington, is on trial to day before Judge Garretson in the Nassau County Court. The plaintiff alleges thai Mr. Baxter, who Is a young lawyer of Port Washington, obtained a deed from her by fraud, which ICives him an undivided half interest iu Fox Island, near Port Washington. District Attorney Niemann conducted the prosecution and James M.

Seaman appeared for the defense. Mrs. Hall was placed upon the stand and testified that Mr. Baxter, who had been acting as her attorney in a land suit, called upon her in company with Artie Craft and sited her if she was willing to sign a paper retaining him as her attorney in case her previous suit was carried to a higher court. She consented and the three started in a buggy for the office of a notary public, and on the way Mr.

Baxter took a paper from his pocket and asked her to sign it. sr.ying that' It was simply a written acknowledgment, that he would be retained as her attorney. As she was unable to write slv; made her mark, while Baxter kept the paper folded and Craft was asked to witness the paper, which he did. At' this stage of the journey Craft left Mrs. Hall and Baxter and the pair continued ontheir way to the office of Notary C.

H. Wright, since deceased, and he was asked to acknowledge the instrument, which he did, Baxten kept the paper carefully folded so that nothing appeared but her They then returned home and in a few days after she was informed that she had deeded away one half of P'ox Island and she immediately notified Baxter that she wanted to see him and have the deed returned. Mr. Baxter called on her and assured her that It was not ,1 deed, but simply a paper retaining him as her attorney, as Ip had told her when she signed it. This seemed to satisfy her until she received positive assurances from many others that il was a deed, so she requested her physician.

Dr. Pitman of Locust Valley, to communicate with Mr. Baxter and have him return the deed, hut up to the present time he had never done so. In support of hr story, Dr. Seaman tesii Sixth Avenue, 19th MKS.

Clayton from that borough to Eroohlyn. Since taking up the administration of police affairs in Queens three years ago. Chief Clayton has had charge of a territory larger than the Boroughs of Manhattan.
