Air guns in the hands of small boys are lieceniing a luiisance about this vil¬ lage. Must of them appeared shortly after (.'hristmas, and although Santa's visit may have been appreciated by the boys, there are many people in r'ree- port who wish that they had had the chance to put a flea in the good old saint's ear before he made his deliver¬ ies through the village.
It was reported at the last meeting of the village trustees that aome of the boys had become veritable aharpshoit- ers and were exercising their skill on the street lights. The village fathers, in taking action in the matter, an¬ nounced that measures would be taken against the boys under the age pre¬ scribed by iaw for the carrying of guns unless their parents would make them refrain from committing depredations upon the villa e property.
The police have received instructions to enforce the lavv in this matter and small boys seen carrying air guns or other weapons of that nature wib be warned the tirst time and thereafter arrested.'   Eagle.

.Music loveis will 1h' liiven an unu.su- al irtsii tmiight (f'riday) at tho ' res- byteriaii Church when Leon liice, a lainous New York tenor, has consented to give an evening of song.
For o.er SIX years .Mr. Rice has been engaged in concert work, and has made a record which wouM be dillicult to equal, ami one of which he may widl feel prniid. He gave a recital ;it the St. Louis World's Fair in 19(14, and it was so successful that he immediately ga^c lip a.splendid liusiness position in order tn devote his entire time to sing¬ ing.
Since that ho has had over l.'iOO aji- peai ances in the l'nited States, Can¬ ada, Mexico and Europe, and his audi¬ ences have aggregated almut three mil¬ lion people.
Mr. Rice's first concerts wero usual¬ ly given upon a paid admi.ssion fee of from 50 cents to .til.Su, but after sev¬ eral months of concertizing in this way, he fonnd that many people were deprived of the privilege of his con¬ certs by the admission fee.
He then began experimenting with an idea which has proved its feasibility and practicability as well.
He instructed his manager to enlist the co-operation of churches and church organizations in giving to the ; public these "P'veningsof Song" at a price which would keep no one, however niodeiate his income, from the pleas¬ ure to be derived thereby.
In almost every city of importance in this country he has given concerts to tbe people "at tbeir own price," and the results have been most gratify¬ ing. Mr. Rice has in his possession several hundred letters from prominent people commending him for his stand in giving elevating and inspiring en¬ tertainments to many thousands who could not possibly pay prohibitive ad¬ mission fees.
Mr. Rice will give a program which will please not only the cultured musi¬ cians, but also those of unc'eveloped musical tastes. The "ongs will all be sung in English (as Mr. Rice believes firmly in giving the people sometbing they can understand and enjoy) and not in a foreign tongue because it happens to be "the thing to do."
Everybody is cordially invited to this "Evening of Song" tonight at 8 o'clock, and it is expected that each person will bring a silver offering rep¬ resenting bis or hor appreciation.

Bowling tournanK.'nt Rockville Cen¬ tre vs. Amityville, at Freeport, Jan. 27; Amityville vs. Freeport, at Rock¬ ville Centre. Feb. 2. Stag theatre partv, Feb. 24. Dear I'.ill:
Well Freeport walked away with 2 out of 3 games last • ween ; about 30 of us went to Amityville to see the game.
George Roeckel was there expecting to see tho Ji. V. C.'a win; when Free¬ jiort won tho lirst game so easily George felt bad. The timbers were too tall for him and he "beat it." Even tho ("aiidy Kid failed to make .good, and it was kimier tough to make Capijie bowl the whole game.
The Amityville boys treated us loy¬ ally entertaining ns with bowling, liil- liaids, pool and canls and a good feed; one of the boys, a short fellow wiih littlit hair, whoso name I faileil to catch, was particularly interesting, en¬ tertaining some of US with a half hour's telejihone sketch with a girl on the other end of the wire, undoubtedly the ojierator; some time I'll tell you what they sad, or, better yet, ask .Mac, he'll tell you.
We had a bully good time. It looks as though tbe tournament was a cinch lor Freejiort.
By the time this reaches you the dinner will be a thing of the jiast; the committee have sold about 140 tickets. I'll have to tell you all about it next week. Oh yes, Harry gets around once in a while, but not as often as he did before he entered the realm of celestial bliss. Pipe'.' Oh yes, a new one every time. Here's a toast he ia going to g've at the club dinner:
Benedict-   A married  male.
Benedictine    A married female.
Benediction    Their children.
Howanl P. has one on President Randall. You know they have been friends a long time and the President, in his earnest endeavors to swell the membership, wrote him a letter asking him to join tbe club he's been a mem¬ ber three years,
Frank Rose went to Albany laat Tuesday to get a line on a dago.
I see your old friend Fred Hobe, has applied for membership in the clnb; also Russell Randall, James Hanse, Arthur Whitehouse from the Point and Bill HafT of Lynbrook.

All the members were jiresent at the meeting of the Board of Trustees Fri¬ day evening. J
Thc following letter was read, which explains itself: S. P. Shea, Esq.,
Clerk Board ..f frustees. Village of Freejiort, I.. 1. Dear Sir:
.•\t a hearing before t.ne tni-tees, two weeks ago, I stat'.d that the Bis¬ sell house was situated jiartly Ujioii land to whii'h title had not bei'ii ^ac- (juired by the tity and [lartly ujion land to which title hail been aciniirt'd by the city in condemnation jiioceedings for the jiurjiose of acquiring a right of way for the 72-inch steel pijie line through the \ illage of Freejiort. I ha\e since made imiiiiiies and am now advised that the Bissell jirojierty ajijiears as parcel No. 27()-a on plate .'¦>177 of the condemnation niajis of the 72-ifich line from Amityville to Valley Stream. These majis are filed, as I am informed, in the County Clerk's office at Mineola. I believe the house on this jirojierty or that jiortion of it taken liy the citv was advertised in the ('ity Record to be .sold on or aliout July 12, I'.iO'J. Exam¬ ination of the condemnation maji .shows that only a small jiortion of the front Jiart of the house extended on the right of way jiurchased by the city; that is to sav, the lioundary of the city's right of way passed through the front por¬ tion of the house. I have not the ex¬ act figures, but I should judge that the city's line ran through the house paral¬ lel with the front thereof and at a dis¬ tance of about twehe feet or so from the front. Substantially all of the house now standing ia on the Bissell Jirojierty and not on the city'.s right of way, and the Gillesjiie Comjiany cut olT so much of the house as it was ordered to cut by the city's engineers. N'ours very Irulv,

Gentlemen:
We have been appointeil a cinimit- tee of the Freeport F'ire Council to aji- pear before your Honorable Body, as per the communication of ("hief Van Riper, to urge uj.on you the necessity of providing suitable new equipment and jirojier niaintenance, antl reijuest- iiig ii bond issue of :?i;,0(iO to cover the same.

Minor items of equipment 210.00
Total ij^COOO.OO
Also to call your attention to the fact of tbe extra ajiparatus wdiich is being stored at the exjiense of our vil¬ lage, at no henelit, which amount of unused ajijiaratus will become larger if the bond issue mentioned herein is authorized, and te resjiectfully recom¬ mend the disposal of such as may be deemed unsiiited to the requirements of the department, and the aame be submitti'd to the taxjiayers for their considerati'in.
The action of the Fire (Council, re¬ sulting in the ajijiointment of the above committee, is the result of a growing deinand of both the tiremen and the taxjiayers for better ajijiaratus and eijuipinent. We jilace this matter before you in the interest of the tax¬ payers and firemen alike.
We intend for the residents of the village to know to just what use this money will be put, and the committee will have statementB placetf in the lo¬ cal pajiers that the taxjiayers may be fully informed.
Chief Van Riper spoke of the urgent need of more equipment and Assistant Cornell made a short talk on the sub¬ ject showing the needs of the depart-' ment and explaining tho ideas of the Council regarding new equipment.
