Dynamite Wrecks

Dvnamite thought to have been ex« ploded by enemies wrecked the garage of Henry F. Sands at the Hempstead and Babylon Turnpike, Farmingdale, Sanday, and destroyed sixteen IdtSfi- mobiles. The total loss, put at 150,000, is attributed to three high¬ waymen whom Sands recently prevent¬ ed from robbing a friend. It is thought by the police that the men bid the dynamite in the cellar and rigged op an electric wire with which to ex¬ plode it.

To her and her able assistants is due no end of credit for preparing and serving soch a dinner as is the despair of all other attempts upon sucb occasions. , The fane of the Merrick Fair dinners is spread far through tbe Island. Altogether 261 dinner were served, surpaaaing any previous record by 61. The last min¬ otes of the fair were enlivened by a spirited auction sale conducted by H. Schuyler Cammann. The general ex¬ pression when the two evenings were passed waa "We're tired but bappy, glad to aee results, the good social time is better tban even the financial profits."

The closing exercises of tbe local achool will be held in the school build¬ ing tonight, Friday, at 8 p. m. The public is invited to attend.
Tbe Merrick Dramatic Society pre¬ sents "In Vaadeville" under the direc¬ tion of Kay E. Mauger in Firemen's Hall on Friday evening next, Jone 28. Cards of admission are 36 c°nts, 20 cents for children. Tbe program in¬ cludes two sketches, "A Kiss In tbe Dark" and "The Cool Col leg! ana." The flrst is a farce of one act and tfae second of two acts. The program in- elodes also a song by Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Hill, and Hiss Bessie Angell. "Tfae Premier Dancer." Kelreshnents will be on sale. Dancing follows the per- ferraonce. The sale of tickets for this affair is giving great encouragement to the yoang people wfao are conduct¬ ing it and faave been giving bard work to refaaarsala.
stitution will be occupied during the other nine months of each >ear by poor working girls and women. This new movement will require additional funds and the society had issued an appeal to the citizens of thia boroagh for sapport in the venture.
Overcrowded conditions in the vari¬ ous Brooklyn hospitals cause patienta who lack funds to leave the hospital before they are really in condition to go back to their work. Such patients, it is believed, would derive great bene¬ fit from free use of the Freeport insti¬ tution for convalescent purposes, and the society will institute a campaign to raise funds for the annual aupport of the home in order that it may be able to carry out its charitable work on a more compredenaive scale.
Tbe transportation committee of the I society meets the children at the vari-' ous railroad station, pays all their ex¬ penses for the two weeks and returns > j them to the station where they were j I received by their parents. j
I The worthy efforts of thia organiza- { I tion haa attracted the attention of all \ i charity loving people and its cauae | j promises to be well aupported in the j future. The great benefits derived frum this free vacation by tbe little [ ones can only be appreciated by those ' who bear their animated appeals for the privilege of remaining at Woodeleft Home a longer period time.—American.

Yet it mnst be remembered that the initial 150,000,000 has been distributed as a solatium to those portions of the State that felt aggrieved at being out¬ voted on the barge canal question by the cities of New York aud Buffalo, and it may require the additional flfty as well to console them for having to ^y taxes for an enterprise that ouly indirectly and remotely benefits them. However, the prize for wbich the four coantries proiK)se to labor is so well worth winning that extraordinai y effort to win it is warranted. No other equal amount of I territory in the conntry so well lends I itself to schemes of common and har- monions treatment.

This new movement will require additional funds and the society had issued an appeal to the citizens of thia boroagh for sapport in the venture. Overcrowded conditions in the vari¬ ous Brooklyn hospitals cause patienta who lack funds to leave the hospital before they are really in condition to go back to their work. Such patients, it is believed, would derive great bene¬ fit from free use of the Freeport insti¬ tution for convalescent purposes, and the society will institute a campaign to raise funds for the annual aupport of the home in order that it may be able to carry out its charitable work on a more compredenaive scale.
