p ■ • f ln tO T M t la o u r loco) fcy H. E, t . There H m been 10 much discoesion at to whether the n w Workmen's Compensation Act made it mandatory l tor villages to ineere volonteer firemen that Jt wrote Thomas O'Connor, Chair man o f the Law Committee of the New York State Firemen's Associa tion, to which the Freeport Fire De partment belongs, for an opinion, and received the following thorough reply: Dear Sir * Your letter of the 8rd inst., asking whether or not the new Workmen’s Compensation Lpw makes jt mandatory for incorporated villages or, cities to ipsore volunteer firemen, is received. In reply thereto beg leave to state .that it is my opinion that volunteer are not insurable under the provisions of the Workmen’s Compen sation Act, and that cities and villages are not required to insure them, and in addition, that if such policies were taken out nothing whatever tcould be paid to a volunteer fireman.' I have come, to this conclusion because volun teer firemen are net regarded as em ployees in any sense. The Court of Appeals has described them as quasi public agents. Section 14 of the Law in fixing the amount of compensation to the injured employees, says that the k- iiK meinodiet Church, on Pine Street, Wednesday, and e fine time they had of it. Friends in the parish furnished refreshments, those ortable to walk op were brought in an automobile, and old and young repeatedly expressed their apprecia tion c f the day's outing. The school is growing. There are over sixty on the roll, and others are coming. The great need now is a few teachers who can be relied on. The , Prjmary Department of the Presbyterian Sunday School had their annnual outing Wedne8da5r~-efternoon. It has been the custom for years for the friends of the, school to volunteer to take their automobiles and gixe these children a free ride of perhaps twenty-five miles. On their return the teachers trvnt V.n m to cake and ice cream, and such things on the church lawn. They take all the children who are members of the Primary Depart ment and also those who were mem bers »nd graduated, so to speak, from the Primary Department* to the main school, this season.

Whenever ho and his companions made a sledge journey they met again and again with uncomfortably narrow escapes. Often the treacherous snow collaps ed beneath their feet and left them gasping on the edge of a deep iee fissure. Some of the snow bridges over wide crevasses arc safe; others suddenly and unexpectedly break. Naturally it was not pleasant to crawl out on these bridges to test their strength before sending the ANTI TYPHOID VACCINATION , i AST week we discussed the sanitary rules for preventing typhoid I fever. There is another weapon which we may use in controlling this disease, ANTI-TYPHOID VACCINATION.

W hen Seven- ty-wlght, I# IK m e. Jum el. The story of Aaron Burr’s mar riage in his seventy-eighth year the widow of Stephen Jumel, whO| was well known in the early history of New York city, is a dramatic one. Conceive, if you will, thc picture of Burr, broken in health, brand in the popular mind as the mur derer of Alexander Hamilton and retumiug from a long exile to find,.; himself an outcast in the city where he had once been a political idol and a distinguished figure in society and at thc bar. Conceive, if you can, this lamentable old man, smirk ing through his wrinkles, bowing and prancing rather stiffly because of his rheumatic joints and with his mouth full of pretty platitudes, pay- • ing, court to t he widow of Stephen Jumel, herselt in the prime of years and health. Remove from the pic- - ture its Surface incongruities, and you have a bit of pure pathos un equaled in the annals of foolish great men. But something of his old time power to charm the gentler sex must have stood by him in his years of mental and physical misery, for , in his suit for •the Widow Jumel’* >, hand ’and fortune he wbn gloriously, . dramatically. Rebuffed repeatedly, Burr finally declared in passionate rage that on a given day lie would arrive at the Jumel mansion accom- 1 panied by a clergyman, who should marry them on the spot. Hd would give his prospective bride no quar ter, no chance of escape from the in evitable. She was amused at thc threat and dismissed the old man with more than her usual coldness of demean or. Burr stuck to his avowal and odie July day rolled up in a earwc riage, and with him was a minister, . the same who fifty years before per formed the marriage ceremony for Burr and the mother of his daugh ter, the beautiful Theodosia. There was something of a scene in the old house on this day. There were tears of anger on the part of Burr. Rela tives remonstrated; Burr remained immovable. All feared a scandal. The miiiihter, book in hand, stood unobtrusively in the background. There were more tears, more decla rations of undying love, and the Widow Jumel became Mrs. Aaron Burr. •* They were married in‘vthe great drawing room of thc Jumel man sion. Burr squandered with reck less hand the wealth acquired by Stephen Jumel and left for the en joyment of his marital partner. Then* were many bitter quarrels between thc ill mated pair, and they noon separated. Burr died in 1836, but madam lived until 1865, dying a recluse and a miser, the money re ceived 1‘rom the Jumel estate hoard- * ed in an unused chamber.—Ex change. ^ure to Be There.
