F-reeporter In Egypt
The following interesting letter ie pobliehed frum Fred JohiiBun, a Free- port reHident now in Pitjypt:
Altxandria, Egypt, Dec. 'ih, lyil. Mr. S. F. Peareall,
Freeport, N. Y. Dear Sir :-
I thank you for your prompt atten¬ tion in changing my adilreHB. Both tbe Review and the Observer no* reach me regularly in Alexandria. 1 certainly do apprfciate home news even if it is a little stale when it reaches me.
As per reciuest I will write you a few lines. Am now employed by an American company. After working for them a Hhort time in Milano, Italy, tbey sent me down to Egypt. Rather an intere.flting trip from-Milano to Brindiai where I embark«.d on an Aus¬ trian Lloyd boat for Alexandria. Paased many train loads < f soldiers, cannons, etc., bound for Tripoli. In Brindiai Harbor saw some Italian war¬ ships coaling.
There is quite strong feeling here in Egypt againat the Italians so in the street I have been advised to never talk Italian. Cotton growing seems to be the principal industry in the Nile Delta. The .soil is very rich, being well irrigated. The climate here is very agreeable now. Clear and cool with showers at night.
The poorer class of Arabs, who form the bulk of the population, are very dirty, especially in villages. Sanitary methods seem to be unknown except in the citie.s.
Wherevir I have been since leaving home, I have alwayw found the Singer Sewing machines. Every village of 5000 or over is .sure to have a singer agent.
Judijint; from the reports in the local paperM I will be agreeably nurpriaed when 1 fome home tiy the new I't-eka- kill ronds and fhe new buililii gs on Railroad Avenue.
With best wihca for a prosperous New Year, I am.
Sincerely your.s.
Fred JohiiHoii.

HYMENEAL
BRICKEL—SMITH
Cupid, invisible, is haunting tbe Night Court, New York ; the Hall of Justice ia bemg turned into a matri¬ monial bureau.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo married a fine looking young couple there last night, Clarence P. Hrickel, twenty- fo'jr, and .Mih.s Eva Mildred Smith, twenty-three. Mr.^ Brickel is a sur¬ veyor for the American Real Estate Company of the Bronx, and lives in that borough at No. .^22 Ritter Place. The bride, a mighty pretty girl, ia a Canadian by birth ard a trained nurse.
"I don't like these sudden mar¬ riages," said Mr. McAdoo, inviting the pair into his chamber, "but as you ure evifiontly so respectable and as you seem to know your mind?, I'll marry you."
"This is not sudd n. .sir." said 'Uickel, rather falterifigly. "We took out this license Jan. 11 last, and it expire.s at midnight tonight."
"Ah, then, you have, hesitated to take the plunge," laughed the Magis¬ trate.
".No-o," said Brickel. "I was pre¬ paring a little home for us, and it is not quite ready yet."'
"And I am very busy at my profes- lion," spoke up Miss Smith, "and I

Mias Atkinson baa just graduated from Albany Normal School and her first day of teaching waa at Freeport achool, when lessons were taught in an old wooden house on Main Street. She remained in Freeport, and the fact that she did is largely responsible for the excellent reputation that many graduates of Freeport are making in the universities throughout the United States. There are more than one hun¬ dred graduates of Freeport High School at the various universities.
Mias Atkinson was dean of the fac¬ ulty when she was selected for the temporary superintendency. She is modest to an extreme and will not apeak on the subject of schoola for publication. She has shewn a strong hand since assuming the head of the achool ajatcm here, and tbe Hoard of Education is highly pleased with her work.

The statement is.^ued by the New York A; Long Island Traction ("ompany a few weeks ago to the effect ih t they had lowered tlieir rates between Freeport and (Jity Lino from 20 cent,s to 15 cents waa apparently a meio bluff and the "calm before the storin."
The ratea were lowered for a short time but starting last Monday the raies have gone back to 20 cents. The change back to the old rate between Freeport and the t;ity Lino does not seem ao bad until it ia learned that the juggling of rates haa reeulted in the charging of 15 centa to travel from here to Valley Stream.
Under the old rates a passenger could atart from Freeport, ride to Rockville Centre for 5 centa; to Valley Stream for 10; to Rosedale for 1,') and through to the (Mfy Line for the other nickel.
There ia little doubt but that the Company found that quite a number from this vicinity travel to Valley Stream to connect with the Rt-ickaway Branch trains and decided to capture an extra nickel on the aame plan aa they do nearer the City Line when pas¬ sengers are forced to pay an extra fare to ride from Hosedale tu tbe "trans fer" station where they croas thel trafka of the Jamaica-Far Rockaway I
tr'jilei.
A passenger ia now forced to pfy a fare to Rockville Centre, another to Lynbrook, another to Valley Stream, but this same fare will carry the pas¬ senger nil the way through to Rose¬ dale.
