They know that I will give them a square deal, and for that reason they are always willing to work for me." As a member of the executive committee of thp Interstate Law Convention of the National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association, Mr. Hlgble was in close touch with the work that led to the pa.age of tfl rate bill by Congress and appeared before both houses in this connection "I intend to conduct an active campaign," said Mr. Hliibie.

"and I will -make an effort to give every voter In the borotiKh an opportunity to meet me at least to hear me tell what i hope to do. I want to show the people of the borough that I am a true American citizen who believes that every man should get a square deal." As president of the Queens Chamber of Commerce for two years, Mr. Higbie learned what the people Oi Queens want, and he intends to give It to them, if elected, he Bays. "We certainly need better transit facilities in Queens," said Mr. Higbie, "and, while the Borough President has no power in this matter, he can at least use his influence.

If we had a real live Borough President sitting as a member of the Board of Estimate, the Third Ward of Queens woud not be without adequate transit facilities today. When the dual tran- mjtM At' tr mdorothyM Ml WELD Mi Candidate for Borough President in Queens IK "Freckles' verses, "I've a Bunga- I low in Babylon on Great South Bay." are' possibly the first rhymed tributo to the jmous South Shore village i since Frederick 3. Cozzens wrote his poem, "Babylon," a good deal more than a half century ago. This is a pretty bit of verse. In It occurs tho sentiment: 'Tl a land of mm and romancs.

For th old South no man'a, Uut belongs a all such places should bAloug. To Undo Sam." Reference also Is made to one Amy Milton, "a merry brown-eyed siren." and to "Coney, Oak and othir Islands floating on the weedy tide." Times have changed since the day when Cozzens used to muse and doze on the veranda of a Babylon hotel, but the "merry old South as he dubbed It, still is merry. There is romance there, as In his day, and rum, too, perhups. Also there are other brown-eyed sirens, though perhaps none bearing the name of Amy Milton. Coney, Oak and other Islands still are "floating on the weedy tide," and the South Side Is the same old pleasure ground that it was in Cozzens' day.

II. L. Van Scoy, the nonegenarlan and one of the very few "forty-niners" left, called In our olllce one day this week and brought with him a pitch-pipe used by his grandfather, who led the choir in his community before the nineteenth century had arrived. This musical instrument bears the date 1982 and the Initials and It is the belief of its possessor, that it was mado by Nathaniel Domlny, great-grandfather of the present generation of Dominys, In this village. The pitch-pipe Is made of black walnut and Is six inches long, one Inch thick, and about three inches wide.

The various tones are obtained by blowing In the mouth-pleca and sliding a rectangular shaped framework in and out of the box. As the length of air space In the box varies so varies the pitch, and the vartous scales are neatly lettered on the sliding part of tho Instrument. There Is probably no other Instrument like It hereabouts. Easthampton Star. The late Miss Cornelia Huntington, novelist, poet and commentator, writing of old times In Easthampton, rhymlngly referred to "Thi" days of quaint old ralmodr.

When Dlmon ruled tha choir; When 'Runala' made the rafter ring And 'Greenville' ehooH the iplre. Was Dlmon, the chair ruler, the grandfather of Mr. Van Scoy? The Dominys and tho Dlmons have long been among the lending families In Easthampton, and their names figure prominently In the annals of the ancient community. Noting the fact that on September 14 It will complete Its thirty-third year, the Patchogue Argus says that there are now only three business concerns In the village conducted under the same name as when the Argus was founded. It is further stated that aside from tho Argus only one paper In Suffolk County is now under the same management as In 1884.

That one is the Sag Harbor Express, founded and still edited by the veteran, John II. Hunt, The Out on Long Island man well recalls that when Editor Green launched the Argus some of his contemporaries smiled pltvlnglv and predicted It could "not last long." It has, however, "lasted" thirtv-three years and has made "more than a living" for its owner. And since then nearly a score of new papers have been established and all seem to be doing well. Walter R. Burling, Henry Livingston, Brinley D.

Sleight, Henry A. Reeves, Charles A. Japeer, K. 8. Boughton and Stephen A.

Titus are among the colleagues of Editor Green who have been added to "tho Bilent majority" since he founded the Argus. To a Freeport friend this column is indebted for the following: Bob Scher has been given a vacation. Rcher. who bus shaved faces and clipped hair in every barber shop in Freeport, who is Known Dy more men than the village president, is about to enjoy his first play spell in twelve years. Ever since he came to this village ten years ago he has been right on the Job from morning untii evening from Monday morning until Sunday evening.

The prospect of an entire week all to himself startles him and he has spent half of the time trvine to decide what he will do with his freedom. "Where are you going to spend your vacation?" asked a friend. "Guess I'll sharpen up a lot of dull razors up at the house," answered Bob. Stretched across the front of the public school building at Eastport Is a large sign, or banner, reading, "I pledge alleglence to my flag." A visitor to the place was much pleased at this visible evidence of patriotism, and suggests that the example be followed by other schools. It certainly Is worthy of emulation.

The recent death of Stephen A. Titus, once editor of the Babylon Budget, recalls some Interesting newspaper history. The Budget was founded in the 70's by a syndicate of Suffolk and Queens County men to boom the scheme to create Nassau County from eastern Queens and western Suffolk. The movement failed then, although Nassau County was later created, but with Buff oik I left intact. The first editor of the' Budget was the late Judge John R.

Reid of Babylon. Judge Reid wielded a trenchant pen and the paper was remarkable for Its vigor and originality, as well as for its really artistic mechanical appearance and Its literary excellence. It had several owners, but during the greater part of its existence Judite Reid was the actual editor. When he owned it absolutely it was an eight-page paper and Its first page was composed entirely of In It on to Howard Thurston'3 New Home Fitted to Give Visitor a Mysterious Reception. SKELETON BIBS "WELCOME." $3.1 ,000 Residence In Breclihurst, Ho-cenUy Completed, Is Now Occupied by Owner.

Howard Thurston the magician, has Just moved into the $35,000 house he has built at P.eechhurst Curiously, the land upon which the house, one of the finest in that part of Queens, Is built was once part of the estate of the magician, Alexander Herrmann-Mr. Thurston, showing a visitor over his place last week, said that when he first saw Herrmann do tricks In Columbus, Ohio, when he was a boy he vowed that one day he would be as great as Herrmann. He did not Imagine, however, that ho would follow in the master conjurer's footsteps to the extent of building a homo on land that once was his. The building Is of stucco and varied colored bricks, and Is surrounded by stately trees. There Is a little roman-tio history tied up In the bouse, new though It Is, for one of the rooms.

Is a reproduction of a room In a castH In India, Mr. Thurston says. In which he first mot the young woman who il now Mrs. Thurston. Mrs.

Thurston is a cousin of former Premier of Canada Fielding. Mr. Thurston was traveling In India all magicians travel in India as soon as they get enough money for the trip In 1906. The young woman who wa destined to bo Mrs. Thurston wa traveling In India, too.

They met in the great room of tho historic castle at Lucknow known as The Residence. Tho building figured In the Indian Mutiny and is one of the show places of Lucknow. "So," said Mr. Thurston, "my wife and I having met In that hlstoria structure, It occurred to her to com. memorate the meeting In the design of the house." The mahogany furnishings of tha house harmonize with the furnishings of The Residence at Lucknow.

Th walls and sides of the living room are adorned with gifts from royal and other persons who have been enter-talned by the magician's skill. In one corner of the living room is a huge HOddha front whose ponderous foot emits Oriental lncenso upon occasion. There Is an Oriental atmosphere which Is Intensified by the presence of dignified Abdul, whom Mr. Thurston brought from India. Abdul, Mr.

Thurston says, Is a yogi and Is Instructing him In Hindu philosophy. Abdul, liko the proper yogi ho is, understands astronomy. A section of the roof Is arranged so that It opens to permit a large telescope to be pointed heavenward. Magicians are supposed to have homes unlike those of other folks. Mr.

Thurston lives up to expectations. Part of the house Is arranged with magical paraphernalia, so that the visitor is given a right mysterious reception. A newspaper writer who visited the house discovered this. As he entered the house strange sounds were heard, and ns he entered tho living room, which was only dimly lighted, a skeleton appeared, seemingly-coming from the slue of the room. It said smilingly, as only a skeleton can smile, ''Be seated, please." Tho newspaper man tried to dig up a fitting remark, when the skeleton added, "My master bids you welcome." Then a gong sounded, the skeleton vanished and Abdul appeared, as ir irom nowhere.

Tho lights enanged to greenish. Abdul said, "Behold. Sahib!" A girl, radiant in her gnostllness, appeared on the other side of the room, spoke briefly, and, as bright electric lights appeared In place of the green, vanished. Invited Into the dining-room as a matter of reassurance, the visitor was seated at a large center table with Mr. and Mrs.

Thurston and their cjght-year-old daughter. After little Jane had said grace the room was darkened gradually until finally it was so dark that the guest could not see tho white plate before him. The chair ho sat in trembled, and there was a hissing sound. The lights slowly lighted the room, and what appeared to be a colira snake glided across the table and emitted tea into the guest's cup. Before he was able to discover, where the snake had come rrom it had vanished.

COL. HOWARD SPEAKS AT STONY BROOK (Special to The Eagle.) Stony Brook, L. September 1 The last week day service of the general conference of the Stony Brook Assembly was marked with the usual good attendances.

The speakers yesterday included Drs. David N. Wylle, W. H. Griffith, Thomas and John F.

Carson, with Dr. David M. Pkllllng, who has conducted the early morning devotional hour each day. this week. Dr.

This morning, at the special request of tho many who have attended the conferences and enjoyed the singing of Mr. Alexander ai.d his party, there was held at 9:46 a special song service, at which the attendance was large. There were no other services today. The conference will close tomorrow. The evening sermon will be preached by the Rev.

Dr. Hugh Jack, of Detroit, and the closing service will be in charge of Dr. Carson. This evening the Assembly Chorus sang the oratorio "Elijah." Besides the noted soloists who took part in the oratorio, there was a chorus of eighty voices. Lawrence G.

MIson, in charge of the music of the assemblyq, directed the oratorio. At the evening meeting on Thurs day, Colonel Howard, a son of General Oliver Otis Howard, was present and received a hearty welcome and much applause. The Colonel went to the platform and made a brief address. He told of the plans the Government is making at Camp Upton, where he is stationed. His address was from a military standpoint and was thoroughly enjoyed by the congregation and the many ministers present.

ALL ABOUT FOUR SHOES Patchogue, L. September 1 A South Ocean avenue haberdasher, after selling a pair of nhoes to one of a party of three men who came into his store, discovered that one other pair was missing. After he closed his establishment and walked to West Main street he passed the proprietor of a hotel who seemed to he looking, for someone. The haberdasher asked the hotel proprietor what his trouble was and he said that he was looking for some men who left two p.alrs of shoes In his place. The shoes proved I to be the pair that was purchased from the haberdasher and the miss- Ing pair.

The owner of the purchased i pair of shoes can now have tho same by applying to the haberdasher. The editor of Tne Log finds nis brain bulging with Ideas, and in order to relieve the tension and prevent a stroke of literary apoplexy he puts them in writing, illustrates them, and then publishes thorn In The Log. Most people when they become possessed of an idea and manage to get it on paper, fondle and cherish it. and seek to foist It upon the poor, long-suffering public as the masterpiece of an unrecognized genius. Captain Will has passed that stage, for he does not take his work too seriously, and does not intend that the public shall, unless it take seriously to the task of being amused.

HIGBIE Controls 32,000 acres of woodland In St.

Lawrence County. Is president of a railroad. Is one of the best-known lumbei dealers In the country. Isn't a millionaire and doesn't want to be one. Only ofBce he ever ran for before was that of Presidential elector.

When he graduated from college his ration topic was "The Business Man In Public Life." Seeks office now because he believes his business experience will of Value to Queens people. Expects to retire from business next year, Wh-n he doesn't know, he says so. He is not politician. THIRTY-FIVE years ao Robert Wlnfleld Hlgble graduated from the New York University, He was one of the brightest pupils of the) class and he was selected to deliver the oration at the commence- merit exercises. Young Hlgble had an excellent record while at school and was regarded as the "business man" of the class.

About two weeks before the gradua tion exercises the dean of the university met him and said. "Robert, have jrou selected a subject for your oration?" "Well, the boys call me the 'business man'," replied young Hlgble, "so I have prepared a paper on 'The Business Man lh Public And that was the first evidence of his desire to Bhow how a business man could serve the people. After leaving college Hlgble secured employment In the Hanover National Bank, but was riot contented there and soon went into business with John R. Carpenter, The Arm was known as Carpenter St Higbie and engaged In the retail lumber business. Mr.

Higbie soon after opened an office In the Aldrick Court Building, at 45 Broad. way, Manhattan, and it was not long after he became one of the best known lumber dealers In the country. Today he controls (2,000 aores of woodland tn 8C Lawrence County and has one of the largest lumber camps In this country. He has made a success In business and expects to re-. tire next year, but he has not as yet carried out all the Ideae about publlo service he bad when he delivered that oration at the New York Unl.

verslty back In '82. He hopes he Is going to carry some of them out now. Mr. Hlgble has been selected as the Fusion candidate for President of the Borough of Queens and he feels con tldent that ha will secure Jthe suooort of the people of the borough at the pons next November. He has no op.

position in the Republican primaries. "I sought the nomination for Bor- ough President of Queens because I want to give the people of Queens a good business administration," said Mr. Hlgble to an Eagle man. "Queens Is entitled to a good ad-ministration and I will see that It gets it if I am elected. We need a business man to handle the affairs of the borough, not a politician." v.

Mr. Hlgble Is about six feet tall, heavily built, though not stout His Jaw shows a wealth of determination and fighting spirit. His keen blue eyes and sandy mustache of the Roosevelt type and ready smile somehow stamp him as a man who has accomplished something. Never "Pretends to Know." He has a very genial personality, frank and engaging. He never pretends to know, if there is any reason why he should not tell, he will say so In so many words, He doesn't "beat around the bush." He is a plain dresser, using modest buslness- cut clothing and his home on Hillside avenue, Jamaica, Is arranged for comfort, rather than style.

He is a good type of the solid business man who looks before he leaps and there Is nothing of the gambler or "sport" aoout mm. "ttw people realize that the Presl dent of the Borough of Queens spends over a year ana that a politician is handling this money and not a ousiness man," said Hlgble. "I have no quarrel with Borough President Connolly, but his viewpoint Is that of a politician, while I believe in business methods. "What Induced you to enter the con. test?" asked the reporter.

"Well I have lived in Queens County all my life. I was born there on March 6, 1863. I have made a success In business and as I Intend to retire next year I feel it Is my duty 10 ao sometning ior tne county in which was born I believe It Is tha duty of every man to do something ior me community in wnicn he lives. I love the old Borough of Queens and believe It will be worth while to go into the contest so I can give to the people the benefit of my years of experience in business. "While I have been successful in business, I am not of the millionaire1 class and, what's more, I don't want to be, I have a nice home, a good wife and two Sons who are now 'doing their bit' in France and I am contented." Mr.

Higbie says tbat the Borough of Queens needs sewers, good roads, better transit facilities and plenty of schools and if he Is successful at the polls he 'Will see to it that these Improvements are secured, To Champion Rockaways. "Take the Rockaways for Instance," said Mr. Hlgble, "the sewer system there is In very bad condition. The trunk lines are entirely too small and during the summer months the people there have much trouble. Then they have no direct road to other sections of Queens in fact, you have to drive through Nassau County to get to and from Roekaway.

I intend to see to it that the Rockaway people seoure at least one main highway to connect with tn mam arteries of the borough if I am elected. The bulk of money ror tnis work ir not an or it should be paid for by the city at large." Mr. Higbie has the support of Mayor Mitchel and the other fusion members of the Board of Estimate. The Mayor In a recent communication to him said: "Allow me to send you my congratulations upon your nomination for the Presidency of the Borough of Queens. You have my best wishes, and you will, of course, have my full and hearty support.

It will be a great satisfaction, as well as a pleasure to me ahd I am sure to all the other candidates for seats on the Board of Estimate, to be associated with you as a member of the board, should we be elected. Queens would be fortunate to secure you as Borough President." ft ever Had a Strike, Mr. Hlgble has employed thousands of. men and not once was he ever threatened with a strike. At the present time he has 125 men employed at his camp in St.

Lawrence County, and the work there Is so well managed that he has been to the camp only once in the past eighteen months. "I believe In paying my men a good salary that is, a salary they Can live comfortably on," said Mr. Hlgble "The laboring man today is well paid and he is entitled to everything he gets. If you pay your men good wages and treat them well you will of of Fitting Celebration Will Be Held at the Institution in Jamaica. CONNOLLY TO BE SPEAKER Labor Day marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Otlllie Orphan Home at Jamaica.

Preparations have been completed for a fitting celebration of the event. Borough President Connolly will be the principal speaker at the exercises, which will begin at 2:30 o'clock In the afternoon, and others who will deliver addresses will be the Rev. Dr. Arnold Fismer, a professor In the seminary at Bloomfteld, iN. tne nev.

or. toward w. Meurv, pastor of one of the collegiate churches in Manhattan, and the Rev. Dr. Berkemeier of the Wartburg Lutheran Orphan Asylum.

Mount Vernon, N. The Otlllie Orphan Home Band will also take a prominent part In the festivities. The ladies aid societies of the home have worked hard to make the occasion a memorable one. The Otlllie Home started as the m- stilt of a need that was keenly felt, and Its story is like the story of bo many of the charitable Institutions of the. Church for the welfare of the homeless and fatherless.

The home long since passed the experimental stage and now oocuples a prominent place on the heights of Jamaica. The work began In an unselfish desire to care for children who had lost their homes through the death of one or both parents and was an attempt to make good the loss of Christian homes. The need for such an Institution was first discussed In the meetings of the Evangelical Bund, a society of German ministers and laymen, organized for active work in propagation of the Gospel In New York City, The first meeting was held March 10, 1891. The pastors who were active were the Revs. John Eul- ner, Jacob Schlegel.

Wenzel Walenta. Louis Wolfarz, Arnold Fismer, John Hehr, Dr. Julius Geyer, Dr. John Oerter and others. The Orphan Home Society was founded about a year later.

In March, 1892. The resolution adopted read: "That the cause of the orphan homo should be made the cause of all tho members In all the German Evangelical churches In New York." The first three children were taken Into the home of the Rev. John Eulner in East Williamsburg. soon more needy cntidren came, a matron was engaged and a home rented to take care of them. The Rev.

J. Weber was the first superintendent. The Rev. H. Schenk and Mrs.

Schenk were appointed a short time later. A few months after the work be gan, In June, 1892, a ladles aid so ciety was formed of members of the various churches interested. The women provided garments and other wearing apparel for the children. In 191o a new society was formed of young women living near the home and was called the Jamaica Auxiliary. This body has co-operated very efficiently with the Ladies Aid Society.

In 1916 the Ladles Otlllie Memorial Society was founded to gather funds to Btitsh the east wing of the home. Land Purchased In Williamsburg. John Miller became Interested, and when he was president of the so ciety. In 1893, he purchased In East Williamsburg a site comprising thirty-three city lots, with a number of buildings. This purchase he donated to the society.

The society at this time voted to rename the organization the Otlllie Orphan Asylum, In memory of Mr. Miller's only daughter, who died In early womanhood. Mr. Miller also built an addition to the main building at an expense of $6,000, improving the place considerably. At his death, in 1907, he also left a legacy to the home of $60,000 to erect a new building.

After the home had been in East Williamsburg nearly twelve years the place was found too small for the needs of the society, and so the board of directors, under the leadership of the Rev. Dr. J. Geyer, looked about for a new site, finally securing eleven acres at Kaplan and Degraw avenues, Jamaica. The cost of the property was $22,916.

The Rev. Dr. Geyer also bought three lots on Kaplan avenue In addition and presented them to the society. The new buildings were erected during the years 1906 and 1907 at a cost of $83,000. The builds ing was dedicated April 12, 1907.

On September 2. 1907, tho Rev. George Albert Godduhn and his wife, formerly missionaries in tne fresDy. terian Mission in Equatorial Africa entered upon their duties and took charge of the work of the home. They are still in charge.

A separate hospital was erected for the home at a cost of and dedicated in April, 1911. It contains twenty-four beds in four separate wards, two rooms for nurses, a dis pensary and a diet kitchen. This has proved a great convenience in the care of sick children. The Board of Education has also erected a school building on the premises of tho home and assiened three teachers, so that all the younger children of the first six grades do not have to go onr the erounds to school. The children of the seventh and eighth grades attend classes in the Kaplan Avenue School, about one-third mile distant.

A laundry was erected in 1912. equipped with modern machinery, so that, rain or shine, the needed work can be done and be ready at the appointed time. The home is well equipped for Its nresent family of 127, but cannot ac commodate any more under the pres ent conditions. A further development waits upon the building of the east wing, planned ten years ago, but still waiting for the necessary funds. There are plenty or applications ror admission, but there is no room.

From August 1, 1914, to March 1, 1916, ninety-seven applications were received. Of these only eight could be cared for. With a capacity for 127. most of the time the sixty-seven beds in the boys dormitory have been filled. In the girls dormitory some beds are usually vacant.

The home Is under the manage ment of the Gorman Reformed Pres byterian churches and all the Evan-relical churches American, German English, Norwegian and Swedish. The home shelters children from all the Evangelical churches. Among those wno nave passed through the home in the past ten years are two girls who have graduated recently as nurses from one of the leading Brooklyn hospitals, and one of these is engaged to be married a physician. Three others are In training as nurses, several are with the New York Telephone Company and others work as dressmakers, mil liners, cooks or do office work or are other positions. Among tha boys are bank clerks, printers, painters, masons, jewelers, bookbinders, farmers, drug clerks and a number have lately joined tne Army and Navy.

One has been in training, at Plattsburg and is now a lieutenant in the Army.

The rail roads in New Jersey and Pennsylvania seem to be workinar for the people but not In Queens county. Something is wrong and I am going to find out what it Is when I take omce." Although he has been a Republican all his life Mr.

Hlgble has never been intimately identified with poll-tics.
