Eddie Rice, genial "Uttle Eddie" baa climbed right into tbe pages of print. Not through any fault of bis own. He was not press-agented into tbe papers. No. not "Eddie"—modest "Uttle Eddie." His first appearance came about in tbe most Dog-gondest way.
Eddie waa bitten by a dog. We hope it is not serious and that Eddie will get welU soon. Firm as a rock and gritly, "Eddie" does uot seem to mind it. He says be doesn't, and pokes fun at it. As bard as nailB, and as strong as an Ox, Eddie can afford to poke fun at it, but it got Eddie reluctantly into print
The dog-bite occured on Tuesday, which was a sort of unlucky day for Preeport's happy littl' plumber. Ed¬ die got a Job at tbe home of Dr. F. A, Myrick, on Lower Main Street He went to the front door, when a fox terrior Jumped at him. The terrior fastened his teetb into Eddie's chest and nipiied bim painfully. Dr. Wil¬ liam H. Runcie cauterized the wotmd. Eddie tellB of a fierce en¬ counter with the dog, which had made three lunges at him.
Later in tbe day, "Our Eddie" at¬ tempted to remove a boiler from tbe cellar of S. Dimon Smith's ofQce, 31 Railroad Avenue. He was assisted from above by three workmen. The boiler weighs about a ton. When it was ail but out, tbe stake holding tbe imlley broke and the boiler fell back into the cellar.
"Eddie" exercised rare presence of mind and gave a healthy leap back¬ ward, sufficiently far to escape be¬ ing crushed to death, but not far vougb to encape bitting bis leg against a heavy iron obstacle. He received another painful Injury, but he quickly recovered and went back to work to complete bis task. Yes, he succeeded, too. All of which proves tbat he is as determined aa he ia gritty.
"I don't know whether it is my locky or unlucky day," said Eddie. "I suppose it was my urtlucky day in being bitten and th6n almost killed, but what is luckier than escaping death? I don't know."

An organization for tbe purpose of investigating into tbe uses and ac¬ quisition of a site for a park oppos¬ ite tbe railroad tracks on the south side was formed in tbe offlce of Thomas W. Lucas, 31 Railroad Ave¬ nue, Wednebday evening. Alfred T. Davison was elected chairman and Sidney H. Swezey was elected sec¬ retary. John D.Gunning, Sidney H. Swezey and Daniel Morrison were elected a committee to investigate into every detail connected with tbe Walter's property between Bergen Place and Liong Beach Avenue.
First to see what ihside price Mr. Walters will ask for tbe site; second, to see how far the negotiations for the disposal of the site in question, for a factory, have gone; third to agitate the matter and learn how much might be appropriated for its purchase. The latter part is up to the people of tbe village, entirely j John J. Randall has contributed $1,000 as a lead for'the purchase of the site. Frank Stevens says that j he will contribute |100 and he will obtain many more signers to a pet¬ ition for sums between |25 and $50.
If the price is not too prohibitive, it is the belief of the meeting that sufficient money can be raised to meet Mr. Walter's figure, but it is necessary to arouse tbe people to a full understanding of the situation and to learn whether they object to a factory near tbe approach into Freeport by train or not.
John J. Dolan, president of the Business Men's Association struck a key-note when he asked the meeting to make it plain that it is not the sense of tbe meeting to declare that Freeport does not want factories. "It does," said Mr. Dolan, "but we are not particularly anxious for it on tbe park site, contemplated. "Freeport wants factories" be concluded..
The committee will report back at a meeting next Wednesday evening, at tbe same place. Elvin N. Edwards, of Railroad Avenue started the agi¬ tation to keep a factory from this site, through The Post last week, when he sent a stirring communica¬ tion calling attention to this appar¬ ently serious matter. It appears that Valentine S. Walters, owns a
strip of land between Long Beach Avenue and South Bergen Place which be proposes selling to agents wbo are dealing for a Manhattan manufacturer, who will eventually erect a shirt waist factory on the Bite.
This particular site was threaten¬ ed with defacement once before. Lewis H. Ross obtained an option on tbe property. He held it in the event of bis moving biff lumber yards. He wanted an availa'Me place near the railroad tarcks. When Mr. Ross gave up the lumber business be ask¬ ed Mr. Walters to take back tbe property, which the latter did. Wal¬ ters has held on to this strip and has paid considerable in taxes on it.
Now be has a chance to sell it at a good- figure. Elvin N. Edwards learned tbat negotiations were under way for its disposal and he asked The Post to interest itself in saving tbe approach to Freeport from I>eing marred. As a result of bis letter John J. Randall promptly came for¬ ward and offered to give $1,000 to¬ ward a fund to be raised for the pur¬ chase of the site to be deeded over to the village for a park. The generous response of Freeport's founder has

The belief enteruined here all July tbat Freeport was fortunately spared from the infantile paralysis epidemic was somewhat dissipated by tbe recent spread of the disease, des¬ pite the care and precautions taken by Dr. William H. Runcie, health offlcer. The Health authorities re¬ port six new cases since last Fri¬ day, making thirteen In Freeport thus far. There have been three deaths. The latest carried with it one of the saddest tragedies ever enacted in this village.
Helen Leonard, the il%e year old daughter of Harry Leonard, of 270 .Miller Avenue, died, Sunday morn¬ ing. The room in which she lay had been quarantined so that her father was forcibly detained from entering. He looked after the otber child.
When George L, Hubbell tendered his resignation as its treasurer the Republican County Committee refus¬ ed to accept it; so highly apprecia¬ tive were its membera or his worth and BO reluctant were they to lose the co-opciation of so effective a party worke.*. When it was seen that his decision was irrevocable they felt very much "up against if' and there were many and deep ponder- ings over a successor. Fortune fav¬ ored their councils by pointing out Byron C. Gould of Port Washington, and tbat gentleman finally consented to serve the committee, more as a party duty than a personal desire, for be much preferred his unobtrus¬ ive position as a worker with the rank and file of his party.
Mr. Gould is an excellent example of the citizen wbo sees In party or¬ ganization the only way of promot¬ ing good government and is willing to bear bis share in tbe work of pro¬ curing it. He reminds you of the self-anointed critics of parties and politics and politicians, because he Is i so unlike them.

A special meeting of the town board was held at Bellmore Tuesday eve¬ ning to act on the petition of the Manhattan Meat Company for a per¬ mit to operate a slaughter house in the village. The meeting was largely attehded by the representative citi¬ zens, who were strongly opposed to the granting of the permit. At the close of the bearing the members of tbe board unanimously adopted the following resolution, proposed by Justice Jones aud seconded by Justice Norton:
"That the application for a permit to conduct a slaughter house in the village of Bellmore be denied on tbe grounds that the locality in which it is to be conducted is such that it would not only be a nuisance and detrimental especially becansc of the close proximity to the residential and business section, as well as the pub¬ lic schools."
James E. Place said tbe erection would be a nuisance, detrimental to the Tillage, and would be liable to contaminate the water supply. He also spoke of tbe contagion possible from house flies, mosquitoes and green flies liable to infest the slaugh¬ ter house. Father King was cAeered as he spoke in opposition to the granting of, the permit, Messrs. B. Jones, Pete'r Johnson, William E. Bowne, Frank Roberts, Charles Law- laster, L. S. Richards, Postmaster Lorenso Heine and Lorenzo .Smith, all spoke in opposition to the applica¬ tion. There was not any present who spoke in favor of the erection of the slaoghter bouse.
