SEEKING FAME
Many a mau gots through life seek¬ ing iind>iug lauie. Tiie desire is •troug wiUiiQ ua all lo du souieUiiii,' that will give us a creditable iihut iu tbtt images of history. One uiau would like lo be remembered as lh:- Invulor of a labor-saving device; au- Other Would like lo be perpetuated ia enduring Btoue because of til.s f-Lu quent appeals iu the cause uf liberty, a third would like to be lemeiiibered for Bomo deed of lieroi.siii, and so n goes.
Beecham, the IJritish pill niakc-r, has recently been knighted by Kin^ George, a, delicate tribute to the valui; and efficiency of the IJeechain wares. Here on Long Inland, according to reports from Jlrookliaven, Dr. Josicph A. Hayes has sought ausuccesHfully to have his name emblazoned on a lab- • let surmounting ihe rail of a nov bridge. The doctor recently contrib¬ uted a share of the money necessary to build the bridge. The town ( tributed a much larger sum.
When the township board niel re¬ cently it was advised that Dr. Jlayen Lad prepared a tablet, upon wliich his own name wa.s appropriately men¬ tioned to mark the coiupleliiui of tli ¦ bridge.
There was an imuiediale piolo.U. The doctor'.s relation to the bridge was not such, the opi)onents contended, .•;.¦; to warrant any such boost and the tal>. let itself not of a character to atld beauty to the s'tructure; so it was voted doWn even before il had beea set up.
It has been well said that honor and fame from no condition rine. Oue hao but to acl well his part and hono!' ¦will come along In aiipiopi iate mea¬ sure. The seeker after fame is -iV most sure to be dlsappoiuied. ^
BEEFSTEAK CHAMPIONS
Periodically we aeaC ot eating con- teslg in which the participants, uau¬ ally men who belong to the polltic'an (lasK, set themselves to the task of loading their stomachs to the fullest capacity In the hope of winning a small modal and large applause.
In the more recent competition, in which novices only appeared, the win¬ ner rtonsumed four steaks of beef, four portions of vegetables, of several var¬ ieties, half a dozen ears of corn on the eob( two strong tups of coffee and half a Watermelon.
A former mayor of New York who is now an eminent Parisian—we refer, of course, to Van Wyck—at one tiraf held the beefsteak record for men of his weight.
Ko long a.s ambitious feeders are in the game, why shouldn't we have an iuter-counly contest appropriately for table .stakes and a side purse?
NflHsati County does not boasl of Iht^prowess of her sons in knife and fork enKagetnenls, but if ,'i free-for- all meet were to occur, tho Pequot Club of Itockville Centre would no doubt bring forward a dark hor.se en¬ try who would take his place at the board and .stick to fhe work In hand until all otliers had cried "Hold: elioUKh '."
Oeneral lliieria succeeds so easily ill having himself elected in .Me.xlco that there's a suspicion that he is 1 Tammany man.
.More than ^fi.UOO.OOO have been giv¬ en in six moiilhs lo carry forward the work of medical research, and yet Ihere are iiianifestations in cases of scarlet fever which are still uue.x- plained.
The iirst auction sale of moving pic¬ ture reels began in New Y'ork yester¬ day, if the auction game is profita¬ ble we shall no doubt soon hear tho man with the hauniier shout: "Who wants .\ Forsaken t!hild in two parts ui 1,000 each'^ iiow much am 1 offer¬ ed lor Ihis lliiiUiM?"

HARD CIDER
At n'hat stage in the ualuial flM- tnentation of apple Juice does it ar¬ rive at that degree of alcoholic sharp- n«B8 by which It falls imder the class iflcation of haid cider?
One Gaston ClilTord has recently beeu convicted In New Jersey of hav¬ ing in his possession cider which was harder than the law allows; the law in its wlsdoon allowing elder of a cer- t«Ia tang but disallowing cider which baa ripened beyond the tang point or, as may be said, to the tangle point.
Farmers generally know that it i' Itnpossble lo guage elder either by the clock or the calendar. The question therefore naturally arises, how shall the owner of a barrel of cider keep -Within the law.
If in the progressive process of hard- sajr sunset, is a trille below the alco¬ holic standard set by the authorities, may it now harden during the night Jost enough to make a criminal of the owner in the morning?
On three occasions lu as many years, the convicted Clifford has been found guilty under similar clrcumstan- WB and each time thu consictlon war< Upset It is not of record that the ^nblo making barrels of elder were liipwt Th« law preserves the cider.

it was obvious that when horse rac¬ ing reached the Aqueduct track of un¬ savory memory, the crooked element would seek to set aside the bettin.? laws and go in for an old lime killing.
A letter carrier died the other day while on bis regular rounds. He had been in the postal srvice for forty- two years, and always with a mall- bag slung over hla shoulder. His death was mentioned merely as a jot¬ ting, but hla life was as fine an ex ample of. loyalty and Integrity as any recorded in history. The wlorld is full of men of this kind—men who are faithful alwaya to duty and who go ou uncomplainingly until they are cruahed under the weight of years.
The effect of the decision will probably be dlsappoiatlng, but co sufficiently disappointing to justify much selling of stocks. The railroads will Iind themselves enough better off partly as a consequence of their own economies to make It easier for iheni to raise money. In a similar way the action of Congress in respect to trust legislaliou will not prove lo be liarm- ful and the subject will be forgotten soon after adjoununent. By the tim> fall comes a moderate but substantial business revival will pervade the coun¬ try. Such, a revival will not have any immediate reaction on local real es¬ tate and building, but If it continue.? throughout the winter it should pre¬ pare the way for a larger amouut ol activity in real estate next spring.-- Record and Guide.
OFFER REWARD FOR DIAMOND BROOCH
To Patrolman John Kircher, o( th" Rockville Centre police, a dtebt of gratitude is still owing by residents and taxpa^yers of that village, and the suggestion i.s made that his valiaTit services on Monday night, when he captured two desperate men In the unoccupied house of Philip Weider¬ sum, on North Village avenue, should be recognized in some substantial way.
"Increase his salary and those of the others and make It one worth while," was the way that one inter¬ ested <'Ulzen puL it, "If they are good ¦coppers' lets p;iy a good wage and encourage their cantinuer activities. It Is fitting thai Ihey nhould receive a fair compensation for fair service I believe that the police of RockvilP- Centre are underpaid anyliow. If tiny could look foirward to a bigger pay envelope there would be more bur¬ glars captured in Rockville Centre. "The condition of affairs here re¬ calls the story of a directors meeting of one of thc largo insurance compan¬ ies in the -west aeveral years a^o. The iiieeting was discussing dividends and they w<'re large. It was finally voted that the stockholders should receive 1:> pes cent on the money ihey had invested. In the midst of th»» meeting a little mau arose among his confrers and sail: 'What shall we give lo the policy holders who give us all this money'.'' There was a pro¬ longed silence and following it Ihe hiSrtn of whispered conversatioas among the directors. Finally a He¬ brew arose- aad addressing the chair¬ man said: '1 move that we give three cheera for the policy holders.' 'JTie story is applicable here. Rockville Centre has been cheering for Its po licemen for years.
The Villag;€ Board of Trustees at its bl-mon.lhly meeting last night publicly commended the officer and a notation was made on the minutes. It is pro-- bable tb-.at Kircher will receive a writ¬ ten <-ortllrmation of the action in the form of a letter from Village Clerk TUter. Wo mention was made «jr an increase In salary for any of the men, but It is probable tlisit a committer will present the subject al the next meet¬ ing and; urge that (he men be giv.-n more money.
The trnstees discussed various sub¬ jects of routine busine.ss. Bids w<'i ' received on a speciliod quality of i PeekskiU gravel from several well i known concerns, and Streel (^ommjs- sioner James Patten authorized Io make a purchase. The bidders we.e J
the Fleming oCntractlng Company; and Henry Steers, Inc. The flrat >rice>- though somewhat lower than that/*' Steers, made no mention of a c^t memorandum, which was a stipulW" of the latter company in its agreemel^ The gravel will therefore be ordered from Steers.
The report of the Village Treasur, er, Bergen T. Kaynor, for the month was read as follows: eneril fund, $2,182.26; flre. $14.42; street. $3.73; light, 118.046.86; water, $16,415.31: water extension, $1,330.32: gravel. $269 61: crossings, $53.36; dog li¬ censes, $127.06; deposit. $3,232 16.
Trustee Wallace reported that many of the fire hydrants throuKhout the village had been tested and repaired during the month, and mentioned that a number of hose bibs were being; used by persons who were not paying for them. Raymond Dunn, the village meter reader, was designated to in vestigate and report at a future meel- ing.
According to the manifold statemeri' of the auditing concern of While A Reeves, the records of the village ir-'' correct and complete Their audit fin¬ ished a week ago, i.^ said to have been the most satisfaciory that has ever been made in the village.
Applications tor lights on Pine street were referred to committee with power lo extend wires if the occa¬ sion warranted. Bids for coal were received as follows: Moses R. Corn- well. $6.SO per ton; G. D. Combes Esi . $6.90. Ten tons were ordert>d froti Cornwell.
The meeting was luljourned iimil jie.xt Monday evening.

HARD CIDER At n'hat stage in the ualuial flM- tnentation of apple Juice does it ar¬ rive at that degree of alcoholic sharp- n«B8 by which It falls imder the class iflcation of haid cider? One Gaston ClilTord has recently beeu convicted In New Jersey of hav¬ ing in his possession cider which was harder than the law allows; the law in its wlsdoon allowing elder of a cer- t«Ia tang but disallowing cider which baa ripened beyond the tang point or, as may be said, to the tangle point. Farmers generally know that it i' Itnpossble lo guage elder either by the clock or the calendar. The question therefore naturally arises, how shall the owner of a barrel of cider keep -Within the law. If in the progressive process of hard- sajr sunset, is a trille below the alco¬ holic standard set by the authorities, may it now harden during the night Jost enough to make a criminal of the owner in the morning? On three occasions lu as many years, the convicted Clifford has been found guilty under similar clrcumstan- WB and each time thu consictlon war< Upset It is not of record that the ^nblo making barrels of elder were liipwt Th« law preserves the cider. Approximately sixty thousaud em¬ ployers havo taken out pollcitjs under the workmen's componsation law. The operations of this modern statute, enacted in the Interest of the employ¬ ees of the sUite will be studied with iutmest. V (Jeorge Fred Williams, having re¬ signed his post as i'nited States Aliu. isler to Greece, may now pick out a conver.il :it ronim aud talk his head off lit.Lilly as he was succeeded in doing politically. it was obvious that when horse rac¬ ing reached the Aqueduct track of un¬ savory memory, the crooked element would seek to set aside the bettin.? laws and go in for an old lime killing. A letter carrier died the other day while on bis regular rounds. He had been in the postal srvice for forty- two years, and always with a mall- bag slung over hla shoulder. His death was mentioned merely as a jot¬ ting, but hla life was as fine an ex ample of. loyalty and Integrity as any recorded in history. The wlorld is full of men of this kind—men who are faithful alwaya to duty and who go ou uncomplainingly until they are cruahed under the weight of years. The effect of the decision will probably be dlsappoiatlng, but co sufficiently disappointing to justify much selling of stocks. The railroads will Iind themselves enough better off partly as a consequence of their own economies to make It easier for iheni to raise money. In a similar way the action of Congress in respect to trust legislaliou will not prove lo be liarm- ful and the subject will be forgotten soon after adjoununent. By the tim> fall comes a moderate but substantial business revival will pervade the coun¬ try. Such, a revival will not have any immediate reaction on local real es¬ tate and building, but If it continue.? throughout the winter it should pre¬ pare the way for a larger amouut ol activity in real estate next spring.-- Record and Guide. OFFER REWARD FOR DIAMOND BROOCH To Patrolman John Kircher, o( th" Rockville Centre police, a dtebt of gratitude is still owing by residents and taxpa^yers of that village, and the suggestion i.s made that his valiaTit services on Monday night, when he captured two desperate men In the unoccupied house of Philip Weider¬ sum, on North Village avenue, should be recognized in some substantial way. "Increase his salary and those of the others and make It one worth while" was the way that one inter¬ ested <'Ulzen puL it, "If they are good ¦coppers' lets p;iy a good wage and encourage their cantinuer activities. It Is fitting thai Ihey nhould receive a fair compensation for fair service I believe that the police of RockvilP- Centre are underpaid anyliow. If tiny could look foirward to a bigger pay envelope there would be more bur¬ glars captured in Rockville Centre. "The condition of affairs here re¬ calls the story of a directors meeting of one of thc largo insurance compan¬ ies in the -west aeveral years a^o. The iiieeting was discussing dividends and they w<'re large. It was finally voted that the stockholders should receive 1:> pes cent on the money ihey had invested. In the midst of th»» meeting a little mau arose among his confrers and sail: 'What shall we give lo the policy holders who give us all this money'.'' There was a pro¬ longed silence and following it Ihe hiSrtn of whispered conversatioas among the directors. Finally a He¬ brew arose- aad addressing the chair¬ man said: '1 move that we give three cheera for the policy holders.' 'JTie story is applicable here. Rockville Centre has been cheering for Its po licemen for years. The Villag;€ Board of Trustees at its bl-mon.lhly meeting last night publicly commended the officer and a notation was made on the minutes. It is pro-- bable tb-.at Kircher will receive a writ¬ ten <-ortllrmation of the action in the form of a letter from Village Clerk TUter. Wo mention was made «jr an increase In salary for any of the men, but It is probable tlisit a committer will present the subject al the next meet¬ ing and; urge that (he men be giv.-n more money. The trnstees discussed various sub¬ jects of routine busine.ss. Bids w<'i ' received on a speciliod quality of i PeekskiU gravel from several well i known concerns, and Streel (^ommjs- sioner James Patten authorized Io make a purchase. The bidders we.e J the Fleming oCntractlng Company; and Henry Steers, Inc. The flrat >rice>- though somewhat lower than that/' Steers, made no mention of a c^t memorandum, which was a stipulW" of the latter company in its agreemel^ The gravel will therefore be ordered from Steers. The report of the Village Treasur, er, Bergen T. Kaynor, for the month was read as follows: eneril fund, $2,182.26; flre. $14.42; street. $3.73; light, 118.046.86; water, $16,415.31: water extension, $1,330.32: gravel. $269 61: crossings, $53.36; dog li¬ censes, $127.06; deposit. $3,232 16. Trustee Wallace reported that many of the fire hydrants throuKhout the village had been tested and repaired during the month, and mentioned that a number of hose bibs were being; used by persons who were not paying for them. Raymond Dunn, the village meter reader, was designated to in vestigate and report at a future meel- ing. According to the manifold statemeri' of the auditing concern of While A Reeves, the records of the village ir-'' correct and complete Their audit fin¬ ished a week ago, i.^ said to have been the most satisfaciory that has ever been made in the village.
