Knapp, tho proprietor, who presided at the. piano. 1: was a complimentary affair in honor of Charles J. Smith, Alfred R. Hale practice in that matter.

Soldiers used to be There was some heroic apology for tippling even for drunkenness in a vigorous, forceful commander. But the soldier today is a much more temperate creature, and neither in Cuba nor anywhere else is he a wine bibber. Men can do their best when sober. Corvera's gunners seem to have done their worst when drunk. The wise suggestion of General Miles will be aplauded and will be cbserved, because the common sense of the Army approves it.

Much the same thing is true in lines of life. Lawyers used to drink habitually. The teetotaler was rare in the ranks of the legal profession. Famous advocates were expected to be under the influence of liquor when closing an important case, and they rarely disappointed expectation. Mechanics were tipplers.

Physicians were very often grossly inebriate. Merchants alone were characteristically soher. But the virtue of temperance spread as men came to realize the waste and the injury of drinking. It used to bo a brave man who would refuse to drink. It is now not only a daring but a foolish man who indulges in the tinental Navy, Sponsor of the Stars and Stripes on the Ocean." This is one of a series of lectures which Admiral Moade wrote before his death.

Miss Moade Is descended from naval heroes on both sides and delivers the lecture, so very appropriate at this time, with a spirit entirely in keepins with tho stirring times. ACADEMY TO RE OPEN.

Tens of Thousands Flock to the Nearby Beaches. CROWS) QUIET AND OBDERLY.

Police Set urns 'Place the Total Number of Visitors at 120,000 The Wire Maze Is the Latest Scheme of an Ingenious Inventor Senator Piatt and uBx 'lVrayor Grant Spend a Quiet Day at the Oriental. Outward board trolley care and railroad trains were well filled yesterday and all the breathing spots In and around 'the city were crowded all day long. The day was almost a perfect on so far as weather was concerned, and thousands of people Showed their appreciation of that fact by spending as much it out of doors as possible. Down on the eea shore there was a cool and refreshing breeze blowing and the piazzas of Che ho'tels at Manhattan and Brighton, and the sands of Coney Island were thronged with city peo pie out for tlw day's pleasure. At Manhattan and 'Brighton there were mot so many people In evidence as Where were on Saturday even ng, but there was still crowd enough to com lortably fill the piazzas and dining rooms.

The bicycle raoes on the Manhattan track and the racing at Brighton were responsible for Sa't jurday's extraordfaary crowd at the Manhattan Beach Hotel. These two inducements are lacking on Sundays and the people who went down to 'Manhattan yesterday went simply for the fresh air, the band concert or the ba thing. Yesterday was another quiet Sunday at the Hotel. Mr. Piatt spent the after In his room, and do politicians came down to see him.

The Sunday school class was again postponed and its members were evidently allowed a holiday. Ex Mayor Grant, who is staying at 'Ae hotel with his family, strolled down to the bathing pavilion after dinner and spent part of the afternoon watching the bathers. At the west end the day was a big one. The people estimated that at least 100,008 people went down on the various trolley lines and the police estimate that the people who traveled to the island by railroad, boat and bicycle were numerous enough to bring the total up to 120,000. Every street, avenue, walk and bypath was crowded all day long and the people continued to come up to 10 o'clock at night.

In the late afternoon and evening the Bowery, the center of Coney Island life, was so crowded that only the slowest progress through It could be made. Surf avenue had its thousands, too, and the heart of the fakir was Joyous within him, for the crowd had money and spent it freely. The usual extra force of policemen, was on hand and at night more extra men from the various Brooklyn precincts were sent down to do their share of patrolling. But the crowd was quiet and few arrests were made. The cases that were brought into the station house were for intoxication and no serious disturbance had been reported up to 11 o'clock.

Not a single suspicious character was picked up and the detectives on the lookout for crooks found that there were no familiar faces in the crowd. The vigorous campaign that was waged against such persons early in the season has had its effect and only amateur pickpockets and petty thieves are to be found there now. A new game made its appearance yesterday and it proved to be a good nickel attracter. It's a pretty poor Sunday that can't bring forth some new scheme. The new one yesterday was the maze.

It is located over near the chutes and drew a crowd all day. The maze is imade of wire netting, set up to make little avenues, with doors here arid there. The game is to go in, get lost and then to find the way out. Inasmuch as the wire net affords a clear view right through from side to side, the efforts of the people who are in and want to get out can be clearly seen. The proprietor said that he hadn" had time to get as much of the netting up as he had hoped and that when he got all the avenues and all the doors and blind passages fixed he would guarantee that at least half an hour would be needed to get out.

A branch of the "smallest railway in the world" is now located along side of the Sea Beach Railroad Station. The main line of the road is still down at the Iron Pier. The proprietor had two of the miniature engines and he conceived the idea that if he set up two railroads he would get twice as much money as with one. The engine is about four feet long, wthfle the carriages are built to hold two children. It was, however, noticed yesterday that about half of the passengers were children of a larger growth.

The engineer sits in the locomotive tender. It is great fun for the children and large crowds watetied tee tiny tram an day long. The bathing at island was first class yesterday and the bathing houses all did good business. An unusual number of children were to be seen and the sand was dotted thickly with family parties, the elders sitting under big umbrellas, while the youngsters built houses in the sand, only to see them wiped away from time to time by a high rolling wave. It was late when the crowd started homeward and packed trdlley cars were the result.

At 10 o'clock it was almost impossible to get through either the Nassau terminal or the Sea Beach Palace, the terminal the Brooklyn Heights. The trolley cars were packed four deep all around, those who had the misfortune to be on the outside layer being under the necessity of clinging on by their fingers and toes. It was a good day for Coney and Coney wants another like it. The only accident at all serious reported during the day happened at FoTt Hamilton. Peter Newman, 45 years old, of 192 South street, Manhattan, who had been to Coney Island, and who was homeward bound on the Nassau Railroad, feli off the car near Fifth avenue and received a fractured skull.

From all appearances Newman was sadly intoxicated. He went to sleep in his seat, a sudden Jolt dislodged 'aim and he fell out whle the car was traveling along at a high rate of speed. He was taken to the Norwegian Hospital. Thousands at Bergen Beach. Something like sixty thousand people sought relief from the city's heat at Bergen Beach yesterday, where a refreshing breeze from old ocean swept across the board walk all day.

Many sought the bath. Captain Knipe's force was augmented 'by ten policemen from the City Hall precinct, Manhattan, and a force of detectives from across the river patroled the beach with Detectives Clougher and Betts of the Flaflbush precinct. The only arrest reported was that of Arthur Tribey, who is known as the "dude motorman," and claims a residence at 84 Bleecker street, Manhattan. In the Flaflbush court" to day Mrs. Mary Cohen of 190 South Third street accused him of stealing her pocketbook and Magistrate "Worth held him for examination on Wednesday.

The Brooklyn Heights service to the beach was excellent, cars running at times on two minutes' headway. Crowds at Rockaway Beach. Rockaway Beach, L. July 18 The largest crowd that visited this resort in many years came down yesterday and old residents said it was the largest Sunday crowd sinco 1892, on the Sunday following tho big conflagration which swept Sea Side. The crowd was estimated at 35.000.

The trains of the Brooklyn Elevated commenced operations yesterday, being thronged with passengers. The Lonjc Island Kailroad trains were also filled, while the two big steamboats General Slocum and Grand Itepublic added many thousands more. Vehicles of all descriptions came to tho bench from neighboring resorts and villages and soveral hundred bicyclists helped to swell tho crowd. The day was perfect and a refreshing sea breezo from out of the southwest blew throughout the day. The early morning trains brought down mauy fishornicn, who fared very well during tho day, the fish being numerous and biting well.

The yachtsmen, too. were out in forco and many parties from Far Rockaway and Canarsie landed at Sea Side Dock. The police regulations wore perfect and tho big policemon of the "Broadway Squad" wore again the center of attraction. There was no disorder and tho police had little to do. SPREAD OP TEMPERANCE.

General Miles' warning against the use of Intoxicants by soldiers in Cuba is a proper paper, but the very manner of its reception is' sisnlacant of a changed sentiment and Alexander Dudgeon Killed by the Cannon Ball Express. THE "VICTIM'S NECK BROKEN. Was the Engineer Trying to Make Up Lost TinisP Stolen Money Pound in a Prisoner's Shoes Riverhead Academy to Reopen No Trace of East Moriches Burglars Monster Sword 2Tish Caught Off Block Island. (Special; to the Eagle.) Farmingdale, L. July 18 A fatal accident occurred at the Central Park crossing of the Long Island Railroad, two miles west of this, place, Saturday afternoon, the 16th Inst.

ASexander Dudgeon, 60 years old, and a resident of this place, was the victim. Ho was struck while driving across the tracks by the Cannon Ball express train traveling at a speed of fifty miles an hour. He was hurled a considerable distance through the air and Instantly killed. The Cannon Ball left Long Island City at 4:03 P. M.

and, with the exception of Jamaica, makes no stops until It reaches Riverhead at 5:43 P. M. It should pass through Central Park at 4:46 P. but on Saturday it was behind the schedule and the engineer is said to have been endeavoring to make up the lost time on the straight stretch of down grade track between Hlcksvllle and Farmingdale. The west bound mail tram was on the side track at Central Park waiting for the Cannon Ball to pass.

This train obstructed the view of the track west of the crossing and as there was no flagman at the crossing, Mr. Dudgeon, who was driving a single horse to a buggy, did not see the train until he was directly in the center of the track. Then he heard the scream of the whistle and saw the ap proaching locomotive. But It was too late. The next Instant the crash came and the unfortunate man was hurled through space.

The train was going at such a high rate of speed that it ran a half mile past the cross tag before stopping. It was then backed up and a brakeman was left to represent the railroad. The wreck of the carriage was strewn for 300 feet up the track. The horse in some miraculous manner escaped with the forward wheels of the buggy still attached to the traces. Coroner Mann of Jericho soon arrived and gave a permit for the removal of the body.

The Coroner's examination developed the facts that the dead man's neck was 'broken and his skull fractured. His jaw was also broken and there was a seven inch cut extending from the crown of the head down the right side to the neok. The Coroner empaneled a jury and will head the inquest next Wednesday. The funeral took pGace from the residence of Cornelius Bethlehem, a son in law of the dead man, at 10 o'clock this morning. The remains were interred in Bethpage Cemetery.

The revival of Cuban war talk, which, up to the time of the explosion of the Maine had rather languished for a year, has enlivened the half dead Issue concerning the machete. When Maceo was slain there was a renewal of interest and by general consent It was then considered that a machete is a species of Gat ling gun, with beveled endsills and flush finished crupper joints.

True, one or two dissenters maintained that the real, simon pure machete Is a thing intended to shoot fire and cause arson in the ranks of the enemy, but as a big cyclone occurred somewhere in the West about this time and thereby caused a distraction of attention from Cuba and Cuban tools of warfare there was no encouragement for this minority to persist la Us contention. Other and more Important matters supervening the machete was left as a kind of open question and nobody seemed to care much io close it. Every little while a fugitive dispatch would eome from Plnos del Some thing or Puerto Colorado Maduro to the effect that a lot of Insurgents or a number of Spaniards as the case might be. had been surprised by a hostile force armed with machetes and had been put to death, but there wtts nothing in these telegrams to establish conclusively the character of the weapon. Tho present crisis in tho affairs of Cuba has, however, caused a renaissance of interest in the arm of the tropi cal fighters.

Some correspondence has been received by this department wherein inquiries unci suggestions have been made relative to this uswful and martial article. M. of Piano, 111., asks if it is true that a machete Is a fashion of six too shot, shell ejecting small arm which in an emergt Ticy can be tisoil as an intrenching tool and which lie discharged soldier In time of peace can employ in pruning trees or mowing the lawn. The answer to this query ls a necej. t.ary but qualified egativf.

Marco Bozzaris. of Constitution, wants to know if the school teacher is correct when he asserte that a machete l.s made In windmill form, with sharp blades at the edges of thi. wings, and which Is hold in front of the soldier, so that when he charges fiercely and swiftly upon tho foe the mill revolves and the knife edges cut slashes and gashes into the persons of all sef king to obstruct. Tho teacher, wo aro obliged to say, has attempted to deceive Marco Hozzaris. Among the other things which a machete is not that Is one of the foremost.

Mrs. Gregory J. Halpine of KI Paso, relates that she has hoard from competent, authority that a machete is nothing more nor lss than a keg of teii penijy nails, with worth giant porwdttr located amldshiiw of it and vlj a time lock fuse at the bung, tho whole tppuralus being left craftily in the hope that I he proposed recipient may think he has struck a lot of building material and may sit on tho sumo and at I'. M. standard may blown in 700 directions to kingdom come.

Mrs. Halpine's authority is had. Some people know but a good many do nor. know, that a machete Is a cross between a corn knife and a butcher's cleaver. It has a blade about twenty four ini hcs in nrtu one shajcd considerably after the fashion of a grossly oxaggera ted and falsified razor blade.

AMERICA'S OPPORTUNITY. The Mission of the Stars and Stripes Is to Take a Controlling Place in the "World. The Rev. Dr. Jay Benson Hamilton, pastor of the DeKalb Avenue M.

E. Church, preached last evening on "The Mission of the Stara and Stripes." His text was from Romans "It God be for us, who can be against us?" Dr. Hamilton said during the course of his remarks: "The nation is called to her places of worship to implore the Divine blessing and to thank God for His favor which has vouchsafed to us such wonderful victories. That the call to prayer and thanksgiving accords with the common sense of the people is plainly evident. Not a single voice in all the land has been uplifted In opposition by the boastful enemies of God.

There Is not a citizen, however mean or degraded but who is glad deep down in his soul that we have as our chief magistrate in this hour of des tiny, not a foul mouthea blasphemer, but a pure minded, clean souled Christian gentleman. Who has heard or read the proclamation of President McKinley without feeling a throb of trust and a thrill of joy?" Dr. Hamilton here read the proclamation. "The nation has two enemies to be dreaded," continued the speaker, "the traitor and the disbeliever In God. It is hard to say which is the worse foe to national honor and life.

America was discovered in the name of God. It was settled by men and women who sought an opportunity to worship God without molestation. From the time our forefathers first set foot upon American soil until this hour the fear of God has "been our highest inspiration. In every time of national peril the men to whom we have turned for guidance and help have "been Christian men. As a Christian nation we are seeking to work out the divine purpose as it is revealed to us.

A study of our history will prove to us that our existence Is not an accident nor an evolution. The American nation did not happen; it was created. It is the culmination of a divine purpose. "Dare we believe that we have come to the kingdom of the world to mett the emergency of 'this hour? It mey take centniries of growth and development before we can become the anointed of the Lord to stand as His representative among the nations of the earth. It is a fitting ideal toward which to strive.

If this coatm eot should become a great Christian Republic, hounded on the east and west by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; on the north by the Arctic ocean; on the south by the Nicaraguan canal, its situation would be such as would easily make it 'the ruling power of the world. North America, with its hundreds of millions of intelligent' Christian citizens could laugh at the world, although a Chinese wall were to shut her in or all else out. Does it seem as i it would take a long while 'to create this ideal republic? What folly to make tho calendar the measure of God's work in the world. "The wars with England were not merely to establish independence, but equality. The world recognized it sooner than England did, but now Englishmen and Americans are agreed.

It Is amusing to notice the eagerness with which wise men are admiostt embracing each dther in exultation over the discovery which they have just made that the two most powerful nations of the earth are of one blood, one faith and one purpose. Each dreads the other more than any other possible foe; each is assured that when both see eye to eye and stand side hy side the whole world moist obey their command. "When President McKinley sought four high officers for the national Army, It was not an accident that he selected two from the Union Veterans and two' from the Confederates. The blue and the gray are united at last. Sectionalism is dead and it required war to sflay it.

A century of peace could not have buried the bitterness of the late war as completely as one year of battle with a foreign foe. The Army, composed of men from the North and the South, can cheer with equal enthusiasm 'Dixie' and 'Yankee Doodle' as they march under the Stars and Stripes. When the United States has no North, 'South, Bast or West, but is one nation, in which the name American stands supreme, swallowing up completely all sectionalism and partisanship, we have approached one step nearer the ideal Divine natiton. "The burning issue lef us by the late war, which is yet unsettled, Is the race problem. The black man is stiU despised and oppressed.

He is to make one great stride nearer his crown by the crowding of present events. Stirred to patriotic purpose by the nation's need, he seeks to enlist as a soldier In the Army. He is distrusted and treated as an inferior. All at once it begins to dawn upon the nation that Cuba and Porto Rtoo are torrid lands; tropical heat and tropical diseases are more than a match for the Anglo Saxon. American soldiers who have trampled under foot the Spanish flag hang the Stars and Stripes at half mast when the yellow fever approaches.

What Spanish guns and soldiers could not do, deadly contagion is sure to do. We will be driven in retreat from Santiago. But Santiago only reminds us that when we have captured Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippines what then? The black man, the child of the tropics, can smile at Its withering heat and laugh at its dread diseases. He will find his opportunity and be permitted to prove his patriotism as well as his equality by undertaking the task for which we confess we are unfitted and unequal. "The war with an old world power Is seen to have been the needed Incident to drive us nearer to our true place as a controlling factor in the policies and actions of the nations.

Was it a part of the divine plan that the stripping from Spain of every colonial possession should be left for American hands? The Monroe doctrine which was interpreted to be America for the Americans, and nothing else for Americans is to receive a new interpretation. The Dewey doctrine Is au addendum which will become an integral part of the original. Hawaii, the key to the Pacific, is thrust into our hands. It is only our first stopping place on our way to our other islands, the Ladronee and the Philippines. When Dewey steamed in'to Manila harbor an unseen hand was upon the helm of the OlympLa.

The nation designed to be the divine representative must have a place in the East so as to be near at hand to interfere in the game of pillage and torture about to begin. The oriental world is to be the scone of great events in the near future. "We may well be almost terror stricken at the responsibilities to be assumed by the nation that shall become' the divine representative among the nations of 'tibe world. If this be the divine mission of the Stars and Stripes to lead us out "into this position of high privilege and honor we have much to do to fit us for the arduous duty. Oppression must cease at home, acid each man is to 'have equal privileges.

The mission of tto flag is seen to be under the direction of the church as well as that of the sta'te. The church must echo the ve'lee of God. Her teaching must become mere and more Thus saitih the Her life must be more and more like that ci her Founder. Her spirit must become the exact image of God. A pure, living church will (Insure a powerful and righteous natlon.

When we have measured to the Divine ideoil with the Stars and Stripes entwined with the white baoner of the cress we can go forward with implicit trust in our mctto. 'If God be for us, wfco can be against A MONSTER SWORD FlSH. Greenport, L. July 18 A. J.
