This nrsr. scnoot burned nnd was rebuilt and was used lor school purposes until the seventies, when it was moved to Main used for a store and hall, and burned in a big lire that destroyed many buildings in 1884. The school history of Sag Harbor, settled about 1730, shows that the first or eastern half of the original schoolhouse was built on a lot given by Braddock Corey in 178S, and that the western half was added in 1798.

JThe old schoolhouse stood at the corner or Madison and Jefferson Bts. About scholars attended the school in 1799. A new schoolhouse whs built in the rear of the premises now owned by Mrs. John De Castro, and this is the school in which Mrs. Sage's grandfather took so great an interest, 'ihere was another district school, on Division known as the yellow a reminiscent letter to the Hemp.

stead Sentinel a correspondent refers to "Old Blue," a nick name dven the village lu the long ago. Yo remember hearing the term applied to Hempstead in our boyhood and occasionally since, but never knew its origin or exact significance. Apparently its meaning is one of reproach, the inference being that when it was lirst applied the village was slci py and inert "blue." us one who despondent is said to have (lie blues." i'crhaps some ohltiiuiT can till whether we have reasoned odr-rcctlv. or may even pe in a position I relate the genesis of the nickname, There may have been a time when il was appropriatebut that day hus long passed. Hempstead is now one ol (he busiest, nios( progressive com- niuiiiUe.s on the Island.

l'aul Bailey, in his scries of "Public I'ooph'" stories in the Amityville Sun, draws this very correct pen picture iVf (he sage; of St. Janics, C. Melville Smith: Sin it li of St. James is back iu Albany. He is clerk to Assemblyman Westerhcke.

Air. Smith was there years ago when the late Richard Illgbie of Babylon was serving as Assemblyman and Senator. 'Mel' has been an active Republican so far back that few people now living remember when lie first came into the limelight. We have seen 'Mel' In harness, so to speak. Over at St.

James he is the live wire of the Republican forces. When the O. O. 1'. has a mass meeting unlocks the hall, lights the lamps, tells the band what to play a.nd sets off the tire-works.

He also introduces the speakers as a rule, and if a dance follows, which is often the ease at St. Jaines political gatherings, becomes Poor manager. Wc can't understand how St. James can spare 'Mel' to go to Albany, even if it is only for fi nionlhs per year." Ill the days when horses were horses en l.ong Island when there was some pbasuie to be had in drawing the reins over a last stepper Mr. Smith was well known among horsemen.

He used to ovyn and drive some tood ones and knew all the fine points reboot the animals. We presume he drives a car now. He was the close friend and confidant of the late Mayor Caynor when the latter had a country homo at St. James. He kicked over the party traces when Col.

Roosevelt formed the Bull Moose party, but soon got back in line and has been forgiven for his. breakaway. The full measure of his forgiveness is shown in his appointment to the Albany clerkship. His labors for (be fl. O.

as his Amityville biographer says, is pretty nearly the whole works at St. James. It would be Interesting to know how manv miles of concrete or other pirmanent typo of highway hav" been constructed in Nassau and Suffolk counties during the past decade. We fancy the total would be surprisis. It is a fact that nearly all the townships in both counties are making tremendous strides in the direction of securing roads thnt will resist the heavy motorcar traffic, which is in NASSAU JURY CONVICTS WOMAN IN HOOCH CASE Mineola.

L. 1.. Feb. 18 Mary Mc-Killigan of Munhasset was convicted of violating the liipjor law by a jury-in the County Court this noon. The evidence against the woman was obtained by Mr.

and Mrs. Walter H. Reynolds of Fort Washington, and the bottled beer and wine and parts of a liipior still which were confiscated by county police at the McKilligan establishment Oct. 1 last made, an imposing array in the court room. The woman's defense was that the still was placed in the cellar of her establishment by a friend and that she did not own it.

As to the Honor, she said she bought it prior to the Prohibition law and that she did not sell it but kept it to treat her friends. An amusing incident happened during the Assistant District Attorney Kdwards passed a paper cup with a sample of the win-i to the jury. The court explained that they did not have to sample it. if they did not want to. All smelled it, but only five sipped it.

I By KDWIX A. Despite the severe weather of the past few days, reports continue to colne from all parts of the country of occurrences taken as indications of early spring. f'rom Cochrane, Ontario, this week, cakie a report from a fur trapper, A.

Whether the bears of it he section have adopted the des-ol)ite ways of the "rounder" or whether they foresee an early spring Is he question that has the trappers futssing.

A resident of Lawrence, L. 1., reported the past week seeing a robin. Sufrie persons are dubious as to whether Jthe man who reported the robin wajs correct in his identification. It Is (quite rare for a robin to appear hee at such an early date, and those wlAj believe the story are taking it as another indication of an early sprfng. Some persons consider the presence ofta robin a reliable indication of approaching spring, while others in-slot robins stay in sheltered places here all year.

However, the natural in-stiicts of certain birds and animals arrt remarkably keen and occasional apIs of moderate weather do not induce them to desert the ter in the belief that warm weather Is hand. im HEMIPSTEAD'S HOME BUREAU HOUSE IS FIRSTJN NASSAU Attractive Building Open to Public Tuesday Night-Crownins ffort of Women's Club. (Special to The Entile.) Hempstead, Feb. IS The at-tiatlive building which has been linger construction since the late fall in west Hempstead and which will 1icse the West Hempstead Home Club, will be formally opened Tuesday evening. The building, which will be known the West Hempstead Home Bureau Community House, is a permanent monument to the endeavors of the members of the local Home liureau Club, who, through their efforts covering a period of several years, have AiJyeved an unprecedented accom-lihmeiit in the county the erection a building owned by and to be used as a home for n.

The local committee at that time numbered JULrf' persons, and the total members of the organization numbered four. was local chairman. Mrs Vaciib Stegner, secretary, and Mrs.

Von Hoven the third member. JAjf. Sylvester Bedell was the fourth member of the new club. tvst Hempstead had for a long time been in need of a community center, amj the idea, which had been intermittently agitated for years, began to ialir concrete form. The mretings oj- the Home, Bureau f'luh had been held in the schoolhouse.

but the time 0 iied piopltious for the erectfon of the long-hoped-for community house, so with that object in view (he club: ordinary earth roads simply will not stand up under the strain of the motor traffic. They go to pieces even where used only by the lighter cars, but when used for trucking tlveir ruin is quick and complete. Concrete surfaces or those of some similar material alone will stand up under the wear and tear ol the trucks. Mile after mile of dirt roads have given place to concrete or Warrenite with the result that Lone Island is fast becoming a motorist's paradise. If some of tlie early pioneers In the rood roads campaign men who lived before the day of the motor or the eonerele road, but who had the vision to see the value of good roads could come bai-k they would realize that their efforts, which ton frequently met with scorn and contumely, have borne fruit.

Fine roads are the rule, not the exception, on Long Island to day, but there was a time when the leverse was the case. We recall what a long, hard fight was waged to abolish the labor tax system and secure the payment in rash, that the work might be done under the direction of men at least partially skilled in it. The men who advocated the change were abused and villihed. but they kept up the fight and finally won. It was, however, a name againsi tre mendous odds.

Rlverhead takes what Huntington turned down the opportunity to en tertain the Southern New York Volunteer Firemen's Association on the occasion of its annual summer meeting, terminating with a big pa rude and a tournament. It is an uf fair that never fails to draw thou sands to the place where it is held. and is a splendid advertisement for the community that does the entertaining. Of course, there is a big expense bill and a lot of hard work for the entertainers, hut it is supposed to be a good investment of tune and money. 'Several Island villages have had it before, and if it was a losing proposition would hardly be willing to "take it on" again.

Looks as if Hunt ington in declining the opportunity had "missed a bet. In a seven-column head in black type the Freeport News announces: "Firemen ready for Aug." Who is Aug. and what is to befall him now that the Freeport "laddies" are ready for him? They "said it with flowers" and also with words when Justice Selah B. Strong made his first appearance on the Supreme Court Bench at River-head, the county seat of his native Suffolk. He was given a welcome that tended to disprove the truth of the Scriptural saying: "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin.

and In his own house." We did not note that any of the speakers recalled the fact that away back in the 50 there was a Selah B. Stronc, also a Setauket man and a kinsman of the present Justice, who wore the ermine of the judiciary. The fact possibly was brought out in the course of the congratulatory addresses. If it was not, It might well hav been. Here's another "bad spell." The Buick Bulletin prints a cut of a model 31.

WATCHMAN CHECKS PRISONERS' ESCAPE Two Inmates in Queens Jail Try to Saw Way Out. A jail delivery at the Queens 'ail under the jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections in Long Island City was frustrated two days ige through the vigilance of Patrick Nugent, a keeper, according to information obtained yesterday at the ofTice of District Attorney Dana Wallace of Queens where an investigation v.aj in progress. Nugent was making his rounds on. Thursday night when he be came suspicious of- the actions of Frank Schauf of Far Roekaway. and Hurry Hanson of Brooklyn, two prisoners confined in the fourth tier of the jail.

They were taken frjm the cells and a search made. In Schaub's cell secreted in a book from the jail library were found two hacksaw blades. Bars In the cell of Hanson were found sawed. The opening made would have permitted him to escape. Warden John Fox then had a further investigation made and it was said that sufficient evidence had been discovered to lead to the belief that at least three other men were planning to escape with Schaub.

Hanson is awaiting the action of the Queens Grand Jury on a charge of felonious assault. It is said that he is also wanted in Brooklyn. Schaub is awaiting trial on a charge if burglary and grand larceny and there Is also a warraet lodged against him by the Flmira Reformatory, a broken parole. Where the men obtained their saws is still a mystery. WILLS HUSBAND $1 (Sprrinl to Thr Entitc.) Mineola, L.

Feb. 18 Virginia Tyler Rogers, who died at Cedar Brook, near Amityville, on Jan. 25. in a will filed with Surrogate Leone Yi. Howell today, cut off her husband, Kdwin A.

Rogers, with $1. The estate, which is valued at $2,500 real and personal, goes to her children. Her' son, Arthur H. Rogers, of 1230 Bedford Brooklyn: a daughter, Virginia Lynde, of Amityville, and another daughter, Blanche K. Victors, of S3 Downing Brooklyn, were given the real estate and all personal except $r0, together with a garage, which were given to her brother Franklin Tyler, "for his tare to me through my sickness." In specifying that $1 shall he given her husband, the decedent says of him: "Who has not supported me for many years, has been very unkind to me." The son lives at Copiague.

The three children are named ns executors of the will, which was dated Aug. 10, 1021. I Hadn't Met in Years; Reunited by Arrests Two men from Norway, where they lived a few miles apart from each other in the same town, met in court yesterday for the first tHne yesterday since migrating to thw country. They were Samuel Larsen of 102 Huron Creenpoint, and Hans Anderson of Perth Atiiboy, N. and they were arrested fin charges of into.ication within 15 minutes of eac other on Friday night in front of the Hunter's Point station house by Patrolman Charles Lang.

When arraigned the following morning before Magistrate Doyle the two men were amazed to meet each other for the first time in y-a r.s. "Hello Hans, how did you come here? This is a queer place to meet." exclaimed Larsen. Anderson was too surprised to answer. Anderson was fined $3 by Magistrate Doyle, hut had only $2 with him. Larsen paid his own fine of $3 and came to his friend's rescue with $1.

The two men left the courtroom together, laughing and talking, ttu-ir arrest apparently 4. the on their heads for a small amount of money as "lie had. He reached this speculation when he balanced his books in the long and hot litigation he had trying to collect an advertising bill the county owed him, and found that he was out of pocket just $4.16. In. other words, it.

cost him that much over and above the amount of, interest he collected from the counly on his bill. He had the face of his original bill, about $4,000, intact, minus $4.16. The in terest paid was nearly enough to pay ins lawyer ana all ot the incidental costs. For this insignificant sum he fought the county for three years "all the way to tho Court of Appeajs" twice. Pretty cheap tor litigation cover ing three years and eombated by all the devices known to an agile practitioner, eh?" he soliloquizes.

And those who have been in law suits will agree with him, probably, that he surely did "have a great run for his money." The general Impression among well- informed people was that even if De. lano won the case it was rather a sensational one he would have nothing but an empty victory. But ac cording to a statement from him it is far from being empty. Not only lias he the satisfaction of legally proving that he was right and the county officials were wrong, but he has nearly the full original charge, of his bill. Delano nub ished tax sale advertis ing and sent a bill at the rate allowed by law.

The county officials insisted be should take what waa Known as half nav. And tlie county, which has only very recently paid the bill, fought him at every turn until me couri or Appeals finally directed the officiant to pay him the legal rate. What the unusual suit nas cost Mir- folk has never been ascertained. The extra cost is known to be quite large, though, for in addition to being mulcted enough in interest to pay Jo seph Wood, Mr. Delano's counsel during all of the litigation, the county was taxed costs several times, had to pay its own lawyer for about three vears.

and had to pay for printing the case and briefs at different times. Mr. Delano says that former superior Tiffany, who was then chairman of the board, promised him last December he would check up and ascertain exactly what the lpng legal light did cost the county, "but I have not heard from him since," he adds.

L. Feb. IS Pierson High School, the fine building erected here through benefactions of the late Mrs. Russell Sage, is to be safe guarded against fire by purchase of a motor pumping fire engine. The school stands upon a high hill, and it has been found that streams of water from the hydrant pressure system of water supply cannot be thrown higher than the first story of the building.

The late Mrs. Sage, who maintained a fine country place called Harbor Homes, in Sag Harbor, followed the ways or her ancestors in providing better educational facilities for the village. Her grandparents, the Jer-mains and Piersons, lived on Eastern Long Inland, in the first years of the Nineteenth Century. The Rev. Abram Pierson, after whom the school is named, was a brother of the direct forbear of Airs.

Conservationists Include Black Duck and Pheasant in Bill Aimed at Clubs. (Special to The Riverhead, L.

Feb. 18 President Almon Rasquin of the Conservation Association of Long Island, in discussing proposed legislation affecting hunting and fishing, says that in addition to a new bill prohibiting baiting wild fowl his association will introduce one aimed to confine operations of breeders of mallard and black duck and pheasants under Section 382 to only so much territory as is actually necessary, thereby ending the present alleged subterfuge resorted to by certain clubs and wealthy individuals and confining such breeding to purely business operations. It was agreed that if it appears after further investigation and pending action upon the duck baiting and breeders' amendments that the Legislature believes baiting and such breeding necessary to increase waterfowl and that there is necessity for some action to aid in this increase, to present a bill materially reducing the present bag limit of 25 ducks a day probably recommending that it be cut to 10, which is claimed to be ample for a teal sportsman. Among other new bills or amendments that the association will recommend are these: Prohibiting the use of rifle in taking wild fowl on Long Island: prohibition i of Sunday shooting; providing a more severe penalty lor taking game out of season.

In 1805 the State Educational Department reported the Union School building inadequate as to accommo dations, light, space and ventilation and that hygienic arrangements were very bad. It insisted that improve ments be made at once. The district voted in 1907 to purchase a site, on an eminence, at Latham a block bounded by Parker, Division, Wads worth sts. and Atlantic ave. Bonds were issued to buy the land.

Mrs. Sage's first gift to the school district was $25,200. The people voted to bond for $60,000 and Mrs. Sage then gave further sums to the district, makjng her total gifts upward of $150,000. The entire cost tof the structure was about $200,000.

The old Union School was condemned. The school trustees considered themselves most fortunate to be so aided as to solve the knotty question of better school facilities, without burdening the district with an overwhelming debV Flans for the new Pierson school were submitted In 1908 by Augustin N. Allen, a New York architect. The drawings called for two-story structure, built of stone, iron and brick, every way modern, fireproof and sanitary, the front facing the northwest, ,250 feet long, with a tower, and high belfry surmounting the building. Accommodations for 1,000 scholars were provided.

The cornerstone was laid with appropriate exercises in July, 1907. A clock, originally made by Kphraim Byram, a Sag Harbor mechanic, for the Presbyterian Church, and the bell of this church, were placed in the Pierson school tower. MR. AND MRS. WHITON DIVORCED IN PARIS, "STILL ARE FRIENDS" Decree Granted in October on Ground of Incompatibility, Word Reaches Here.

Glen Cove, L. Feb. 18 From reliable sources here and in New York It was learned today that Henry D. Whiton. prominent yachtsman and New York business man and club man, and his wife, Mrs.

Frieda Frasch Whiton, active in Long Island and New York Bociety circles, were divorced last October in Paris as the culmination of marital difficulties which some time before had resulted in their separation. The divorce is said to have been granted on the ground of "incompatability of temperament."

purchased "Appledore," the magnificent estate of Horatio M. Adams of 54 Mont gomery Brooklyn, and moved from "Tulip Hill," where he had been living with his wife. Shortly after this Mrs. Whiton went to Paris for visit to her mother, Mrs. Herman Frasch, and it was after the two re turned to this country that reports cf a divorce first became circulated in the inner circles of Long Island society.

Mrs. Frasch sold her own heautinu ome at Roslyn and joined her daugh ter at Tulip Hill, going later with her to the Ritz. where they now are. "Tulip Hill, which, it is under stood, still is owned by Mrs. Whiton Is one of the most magnificent estates this section.
