Mrs. Seaman and family were spending the summer at Littleton, N. H., when last Monday she was seized with an attack of ap pendicitis.

Curtice, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, officiating; interment at Greenfield Cemetery.

The Pathe Frere Weekly usually ends with a cartoon, Mutt and Jeff, while the Universal Film Company has some well known actress riding her \hobby.” This week Miss Charlotte Greenwood, of the Passing Show of 1918, at the Winter Garden, is the star. When Mies Greenwood was asked what her particular hobby was she replied, \Flying;” that she al ways had a great desire to fly, in fact to take lessons, and would like to be photographed in an aeroplane, on a real aviation field.

I., July 11.—As a result of a conference of the Nassau County Supervisors and officials yesterday a much-needed addition to the Court House will probably be made within a few months which will relieve the con gestion which exists in nearly all de- • partments. When the present building was erected, the Supervisors thought they had planned a building which would answer the needs of the county for many years to come, but so fast has the county built up, that it is now ne cessary to have three court rooms, and larger quarters for the various county officials. Even Controller John Lyon agrees that there is need of larger quarters, but says John, “ how much is it going to cost?” Mr. Lyon has requested the Board of Supervisors to go with him to Pough keepsie sometime in the immediate future, and look over the Court House at that city, which he declares was built for about $250,000 and which, in his opinion, is an ideal Court House. This the Board will do. Architect Tubby exhibited new plans at the Board meeting yesterday which seem to fill the requirements in every particular, and meet with the general approval of all who saw them. The building would have coat . $480, 000 under the old plans, while the pres ent Board will build it, if they decide to accept Mr. Tubby'e plans, for $287, 000. 1 As soon as the plans are satisfactory, <he Board will begin the change, as it is not necessary for them to have a vote of the people. Several years ago, a proposed addi tion to the Court House wee voted down, a large number opposing it who have imver even been in the Court House and seen the necessity for the change —Eagle.

These pictures will show Miss Green wood standing by the side of the mono plane examining the engine, etc., then climbing into the seat, waving her hand as the signal that she is ready, the mechanicians starting the large propeller, and the aeroplane about to fly. It is very interesting to watch how these pictures are taken and to see the players pose for them. Very often spectators are asked by the director of the Moving Picture Company to pose too. and a great deal of amusement is thus afforded them Saturday afternoon the \Movies” were again at the field. This time it was the Pathe Frere Company, taking pictures of the Brazilian officers from the Brazilian warship Merias Geraes. These officers with their escort of mid shipmen from the U. S. S. Arkansas and Delaware, gave the field a very military aspect. They were the guests of Moisant Aviation School and were there to inspect the aeroplanes and see some flying. They made a complete tour of the field, visiting all of the hangars. F. Robinson Hall acted as host for the Moisant Company. The officers were conveyed by automobiles from New York to the Hempstead Plains Field. While passing through Jamai ca they were held up by a motorcycle policeman, and were not allowed to proceed until their identity was made known. Harold Kantner and C. Mur- vin Wood, both of the Moisant school, gave exhibition flights which were en joyed very much. Saturday, July 26, will be Gover- Constitution.—Union Signal.

The town of Hecla, South Dakota, increased its saloon license to $1,500 and then passed an ordinance prohibit ing a grogshop within 150 feet of the main street. As this is the only street on which business houses are located, and as home owners bar saloons among the residences, Hecla is virtually \dry«” Liquor dealers have permits but they cannot find locations for their saloons.

They were married at Mineola July 18 by Rev. Edward J. Floyd, t Hits Hempstead Residents of quiet and staid Hemp stead, nestling peacefully in the shade of its elm trees, are awakened today to the realization that they are now included in the cyclone belt, and they are seriously contemplating the con struction of cyclone cellars. Certain ly they needed these Sunday, when a fair imitation of a Kansas rip-snorter disturbed the Sabbath and effected a re arrangement of a number of shade trees. Trees standing here were, moyed over there; trees pointing to the sky were levelled to the ground. Never in the history of Hempstead had such a wind visited the place and wrought so much damage in the short space of eleven seconds. A quantity of air rushed in to fill a vacuum that had occurred near the old Colonial home of the Mulfords, Fulton Street and Hilton Avenue, about 5 o’clock, with the result that a dark, funnel-shaped cloud of dust and leaves snatched from branches, swooped around the handsome residences, de nuding the trees, uprooting them and smashing windows. Several houses rocked on their foundations, but all re sisted the wind. From the Mulford place the cyclone moved across the street to the resi dence of A. Peace, a Brooklyn real'es tate operator, destroying his garden. A maple tree was blown over, falling across the avenue. The roof of Sam uel Petitt’a chicken house was lifted off and joined the swirling mass of debris which the funnel had collected. The wind touched a corner of the property of Byron Baker, stripping the leaves from his trees. The roof of Dr. H. M. Warner’s residence wes picked off and scrambled together with his picket fence, making a mass diffi cult to untangle. A tree in front of the home of Dr. Adolph D. Rosenthal fell to the ground, narrowly missing a touring car in which were several women. Bergen R. Carman lost a couple of trees and a beautiful bank of ferns, belonging to Adam Seabury, was destroyed. Sweeping acrosa the residences of Charles L. Addison, President of the New York & Long Island Traction Company, the U tow ana Hotel, and Smith'■ Hotel, the wind took ita tell of shrubbery, trees and windows. The property of George Seeeiona and Mar garet Wright also suffered. Today the local Fire Department is herd at work clearing the uprooted trees from the street. The lighting service waa seriously impaired, and workmen were out today repairing the damage. —Times, July 14.

Waterbary that residents of Lynbrook were defil ing the Sabbath by the performance of manual labor on the Sabbath, and also that on several streets the property owners permitted weeds and bashes to overgrow the sidewalks, was placed on file. A communication was received from R. D. Jaques of Millerton, N. Y., off ering his property on Broadway as a site for the proposed power house for an electric light and water plant, was filed. In a communication from the Diesel Engine Company, an approximate cost of $41,464 wae quoted for the installa tion of the neceeeery machinery for a plant of adequate siee to care for the neede of Lynbrook. James Sproule stated that the approx imete coat of wiring, setting Decennary poles, neces sary meters, transformers, etc., would amount to about $16,000.
