The Nassau Pott has lold in some detail of the astonishing stock Ecllm,{ transactions of the Nalional E^lectrlc Enair.cling Company, of Wall street and New Rochelle. engineered so ta' as -the business b this section wi-.t concerned, by the Rev. Nelson Ed wards.
The fads as they have developed seem to show that local investors go llille e!te than handsomely engraver' certirmates and cerlain rosy assuranr es for the money they put into lh( concern.
We would not do Mr. Edw.Trds or hi associates an inienllonal injustice, bu. we n)ust say that on the look o! things tho euihe business appears lik' ro,;ueiT.
if .Mr. Edwards has anything to s.t; by way of ex; liniaiion,'^we would su, gest to him that il is linie to say ii When ho \vas urging- the new biic process to tl.e jcoije cf'Oceanside u. found ready lonsuo.' lie was easll eloqiieiU. He t;U:;ed tbe people out o theii money.

RICHES IN LAND
<'hen Stephen Ailing Halsey rcllr- j ed from the fur trade in New YorU, j I years ago. be decided to put his money ' m Long Island real estate. He stud¬ ied localities, wafehed developments, bought wisely, and when he died his ! property was worth full 100 tim-ii what he had paid for it.
His son look up the real estate op- •xjraiions wheie the sire laid the.i nil down. Ue died the oiher day, rithe; than he'bad ever expected to be.

OVll LIFE SAVERS
Having it in ou rl.eail to feel it. w. eonfess lo our admiration for the nobl men of the United States Life Savin. Service.
What a brave and hardy crew tho are, these coa!i*»line watchers! Whe the tempest-tossed sea thunders oi the sands; when the gaJe rages ia thi might of Us truiy, and the whistK shrleU or the red i-Mie of the dangv- rocket lellb distress, the station sun men, ever vigilant, ever ready ti throw life in the b.ilancc if occasioi calls, respond as lo a challenge.
Nowhere Is there gieater herois'i than among the lite savers. Tlior chapter in national record is om bright with deeds of valor.
We are glad that the United State: Senate has under consideration n measure to benelit these men. Th. Townsend bill, which Represeniativt Lathrop Blown has urged before th<. Committee on Convnierce, creates a coast guard by combining the life sav ing service with the revenue cutte. service, in lime of war il is propose-l to place Ihe combined departmenu under me juiisdiciion of the Secretar. of the N(i\y. A longevity pay claust for Ihe life savers is also incorporai- od.
The measure has been framed by friends of the life savers, ll ,'l8 a bill deserving of the support ot every man In the New York delegation in Coo gresa U ought to pass.
We have put ourselves on record In Washington for itfe bill, making bold to say Ihal it would unquestio.i ably be approved by the vxjhole Oi Long Island were it possible to con. municaie the vote.
Every newspaper on Long. Islanr'. ought lo get in behind this bill.

A girl was attacked on the sireet .n Jceanside recently. With tare cour- -ge she uied a halpin lo good adva ; age, but her assailant escaped.
Any man against whom legal e\i- .once can be obtained proving him m -e a highwayman, footpad or insuit-jr 'I women, should be made to feel the all force of the law. His trial and onviclion should be prompt and his entence should he the longest per- .lilted under the statutes.
The streets of our villages should c peifectly safe at all times—cerlain- / safe for women.
If there is not enough policemen, onslables, deputy siierifis or whit lof, more should be provided. If po- ice are lacking in vigilance they iiould be removed. If ihoy are co v- rdly tbey shouW be kicked out. m ealing with condiilons of this kind .iu only policy is one of vigor. I'o i.'tjiu with every policeman should be .«ui;ht to Ich oilicial mat and jacked ¦V.

HEReEKT IC. CLOCK.
Bland upou u. ^.». with a song or spell 0-x-f-o-r-d, and whistle between each letter—not for¬ getting the additional whistle for tht period — they casually Introduced themselves and, drawing my sofa and several of the chairs to the fireside made themselves comfortable.
Ther ewas a slight pause; then one of my visitors produced his cigareltt case. He offered it to me before pass¬ ing the case to hia friends.
By the time the last cigarette wa^ lighted the men were engaged In con versallon. This was concerning mai ters of which I knew nothing.
One chap spoke of a "rag at th, East Occer" the preceding Satu.-'dn; evening, anoiher said that he fearec that he had been "bullered back k coll," another stated that he had me. the "progs in the Corn, just this sid« of the Clarey." The men spoke ¦>: "dons," "eccer," "leccers" and man., other thiugs in a most mystifyiUt manner.
I was absolutely ignored. I mfgl'' just as well have been in anoihe. room, as far as forming one of th< group at the fireside was concerned' No one addressed mo. Not that 1 minded that—but it was all \er. strange afler the prominent paris I had hen obliged to take as a frosli man at just such a gathering In m\ first days at an American prep, school
While the men were still engrofsc! in the recitals of their own dolnari since the beginning of the term, an olher knock sounded at my sittin..;
•room door, and two more fellows en cered. These appeared surprised ii seeing so many men in the room, and were for withdrawing. Tbe othere railed to tbem, however, bidding tbem io come in and sit down. ;
WTien the chairs bad t>een placed for tbe late arrivals, the conversation took anoiher turn. Matters wnich 1 could, to a certain extent, imderstand ivere discussed.
1 soon discovered that these mor. ¦ve'-e of a different stamp to my fir-it •allers. I read that In tbe old days i'embroke was divided Into three fa;- ilons; the hard reading set who met to study the minor Greek poets, to dis¬ cuss politics and the current events ol ihe day; the hard drinking set who .'oregathered for the consumption of strong ale and shag tobacco; and tho 'bloods of Il'.e first head who drann lolhlng but wine and displsed the jlhera as being very low and vulgar.' "^he later arrivals I placed In the firsi ;alegory, my first visitors in the la^t
I soon learned that, while the old di .isions were not as strongly marke.i 18 in old'=in times, yet; as Is bound tt i.appen in all societies; birth, money ntelleclual attainments and athletlf ibillty hid drawn men Into cllquas This in many respects was not sc rue of my collese as some of tho argcr ones. The undergraduates, foi he good of the college, cannot allow nternal strife to weaken the front vhlch It opposes to Its enemies. Men nay Intensely disUke'bne another, but vhile repiesenllug the college "the latchet is buried."
I learned that the two men who ar ived late were "scholars."
In the University there are two rreal divisions of students—scholars md commoners.
A scholar is a student who has all 3r a part of his paid expenses by the merest from a foundation at .als •chool or at his college at Oxford, These were originally intended for :ien who. while brilliant sludeatv ':ere unable to defray the cost of a 'nlversity education.
Formerly thcEO men were rather ooked down upon by the commoner'!, ¦tudents who paid their own way hrough college. This feeling h>ir low entirely passed away, and a man, ich or poor, is only too glad to win a ;cholarship.

TO FREEPORT'S BASE BALL FANS
Sporting Editor The Nassau Post:
As m.anager of the "Freeport Jun iors," I wifch to announce lo the base¬ ball loving public that with the help ot Mr. Jonos, the high school coacii, I wiil endeavor lo turn oul a wlnnlnt; team this spring. The "JiifflorK" have scheduled games with a number of oul-oftown teams and e.xpect a lively reason.
The "Junior«" are liandicapped on iccount of losing their star pitihci-, "Mike" Williams, who will play for Friends Academy this spring, but w.il have two new pitchers, Merrill Cutle" ind "I>et" Danby, vvho aie piichlng ine ball.
The "Juniors" have never been do feated and expect to win eveiy game this year.
