Bismarck says that after forty years of public life it is im- possible for him to abandon politics or hold Ms peace in public affairs. In Gladstone ' s prolonged career is another e v idence of the marvelous charm which political affairs hare for men of brains and energy.

The subject of a cross island road on the boundary line between Queens and Suffolk counties is receiving a great deal of attention from farmers and others liv- ing near the boundary section of both counties. The suggestion of such a road as the best means of establishing the county lines was made a year or more ago , but nothing was done in the mat- ter then. A revival of the question has t aken p lace and suc h interest manifest- ed that it seems only a question of time before the road will be built. - The road would run directly on the count y line , extending from Cold Spring to Amityville , and passing just east of Famiingdale village It would cost not over f 30 , 000 to build , giving a good sub- stantial hi g hway. The country is al- niosfc entirel y level , so that little exca- vating and grading would have to be dona A R obber ' s Plunder. Since the recent arrest of Howell , the depot robber at Valley Stream , a large quantity of stolen goods has been found at the home of the prisoner in Jamaica— nearl y a wagon load of it. Some of the property has been identified b y the own- ers and restored to them. Howell admits having committed eleven burg- laries. He is now in the Queens County jail His wife , who is only 24 years olA , has been g iven a position as operator on the L I I l ailroad , a position she held prior to her marriage. A Woman Mangled. Mrs. Gusrnan , living on Rockaway road . Jam a ica , met wi th a shocding accident while attempting to board a moving Rapid Transit from just west of Ihe railroad yard in Jamaica Tuesday afternoon about 12:40. 3 he ran for tbe train and attempted to board it in spite of the fact lh » t the train was go i n ^ at a good speed, fche endeav- ored to climb upon the platform of the second car. Tbe conductor , seeing her in- tention , waved his hand warning her not to attempt it. tttie persisted , however , but lost he r h o M an d fel l , h er feet g o ing un d er the car. .The bain was slopped and it w i s f ound that one of her feet was cut off and th e other ur t adfulsy mangled. She was taken to St. Mary ' s hospital . Her hns- hand is market man fur John Selover , a . farmer on Kock w ay road. - . - ¦ ; \ ¦ Later issu es state that Mrs. Gasman died W ednesday, at St. Joh n ' s hospital , L one Is l an d C i ty, from the effects of her hi jur- ies. Tim e ' s Changes. Old Westbury and the country adjacent thereto has for generations been Ihe home of Queens County ' s wealthy Quaker farm- ers , but changes are coming over that his- toric spot. The old meeting houses are- s t ill t here ~ anfl v many of the old time and substantial 'farm houses remain , but th e millionaire withh te in b dern idea has reached old WeBtbury ami its. nei ghborhood.

NEGRO SCNGS DYING OUT ACCIDENTS BY RAIL A GOOD J NDiAN It is thought that Jame s port cau boast of the tallest chrystanthemum fn the town , if not in the c ounty. Miss Susie C. Payne has a beautiful white one , which is six feet hi gh , an d has 310 blossoms. All who have seen it say t hey never saw its equal . I t is suggested t hat if our readers have anything to Burpass it they should let the fact be known , —JVew3. Fore s tX. Terry, of Riverhead , is takin g , a course in Eastman ' s college , at Pough- kee p s ie. Education Amon jy the Colored Race Be« suits In Ke g lect of Mlnatrelsy. The younejer negroes , ' born in free * dom , have a loa t hi ng for everything that pertains to slavery. They regard the old slaves with contempt, and be- cau se tlie younger ones can read and write they set the older ones down as bein g 1 too i g noran t t o be co n sidered , forgetting- that they were once efficient workers and averaged superior in mor- als and manners to their descendants. O ne of th s resul t s of t his is t h e d y ing o ut of the rich , melodious negro songs— not the songs of the \ negro minstrel\ type , which were totally unlike th a real article. This the Boston Transcri p t re- gards as a very great p ity, as these songs were wild aad charming be yond comparison. In slavery times the negroes were en- couraged to sing 1 . The wheat was reaped to the singing 1 of the reapers , and the best singer generally headed the row. The or es who could p ick the ban- jo or scrape the fiddle were peculiarly privileged. H ere is a strange p iece oi folk lore: For many years , even long before t he w a r , t he fiddle p lay i ng and ba n jo p lay ing had been d y ing out among the negroes , owin g to a super- stition that \de devil is a fiddler. \ The r ery old p eop l e have noticed this. The master of the mansion says: \In my father ' s t ime , and when I was a boy, there were very few regular musicians , and at parties, unless it was a grand affair , a lady played the piano , accom- panied b y a gentleman on the violin , aud monstrous jigs and reels they p layed , too. But when it got too . much like work almost anybody ' s carriage driver could be sent for out of the ki tchen who conld fiddle enoug h to dance t he Virg inia reel by. But when I grew i ip negro fiddlers were scarce among the plantation hands, except the ' professionals , ' who were free negroes. T hey have been growing 1 scarcer owing to this superstition about old Pluto. \Among the city negroes the p iano is the favorite instrument , as it is so m uch easier to acquire a certain proficiency on it than on the violin. In the coun- try, though , it is generall y thoug ht -un- becom ing, at least for a ' church mem- ber , ' to p lay the violin , if not actuall y a n audacious communication with Sa- tan himself. But it involves neither deadl y sin nor a ny spiritual risk what- e v er t o p lay t he ac co rdio n or t he 'l ap- organ , ' as they call it. The ' cor 'jon , ' consequently, is a very popular instru- men t. \ A I.argo Percenta g e Traced to Megli- jje uco , and Mistakes by \ Emp loyes. An official publication has just been I s s ued b y the board of trade of England giving 1 a list of the number of accidents to the 845, 000 , 000 pa ssengers carried by railways in . thatetountvy - du ring 1891. The lives lost from causes beyond the control ol the travelers number 5 , the lowest figure in any year on record. The classified list oi accidents shows that eng ines or cars- meet Jug -wi th obstruc- tions or derailments from ' defects in the permanent way are slowl y.. diminishing > . In 1831 there were 24 such eases , in 1890 there were 5 , a nd in 1S91 6. The greatest number of accidents, amoun t ing to 25 , come under the head of colli- s ions w i th in fi x ed si gnals at stations or sidings. With regard to derailments , two of the accidents were due to the poi nts of the switches not being altered after the passage Of previous trains , one was caused b y the. failure of the cast- iron g ird e r , one was due to carelessness o n the part . of the en ' gineer of a relief t rain , and one was due to un k nown causes. Inadequate braking power was re- sponsible for 12 accidents and fogs and s torms for the same number also. . In eight instances fault is found with a de- fective , system of train dispatching, want of telegraph communication , \ or lack of a block system. - P urely m e cha n ical c a u ses, apar t f r om human error , scarcely appear at all, and it wouid thus seem, says the Engi- neer of London , in commenting on these returns , to be within human power to work railways without any acciden t whatever. W hile few railway officials will probably subscribe to this conclusion , the figures produced by the bo ard of trade certainl y show that abroad , as well as in the United States , too many accidents can be traced to negligence, w ant of care , or mis ta ke s on the part of oi S cers or servants. He Still I/. - ve s anrt l* Appreciated lor HU Virtues. Washekia , or Kil!s-on-che-Eun , . ac- cording to the Detroit Free 1 Press , is one of the good Indians who \need not die in a rder to be appreciated. He is the chief of the Shoshones and lives at the.Sho- shone Indian agency in Wyoming\ . ¦ ; . • • He won his name by his prowess as a marksman , his aim being unerring 1 .. A few years ago most of. the surrounding 1 tribes were hostile to the Shoshones , the allies of the whites. The country was subject to constant raids and attacks from armed bands of marauders. Wa- shekia performed many deeds of valor in defense of his peop l e. He was never seriously wounded; a scar which shows on his chest is from an . arrow wound received from fighting\ the Crows. He has on several occasi ons rendered valua- ble aid with his warriors to the United States troops in repelling unfriendl y Indians.

In the left . -hand he . carries the ordinary p ipe used by Indians , which they man- ufacture themselves out of a soft red sandstone, not much .harder than clay when cut put of the quarry, but which becomes quite hard when ex- posed to the atmosphere. Washekia does not know his age , but thinks he is about ei g hty. His hair is gray, but he is still erect and walks with a firm step.
