Hill is a breezy and enterprising manager, who has had many remarkable ups and downs, but who is just now pretty near the hill top. Not long ago Mario Tempest sang to empty benches at tho Casino.

Mr. Aroaioii did not manage her so that she caught the fancy of tho public. Then Hill took Miss Toaipost. had an opera written for her by De Kovcn 4 Smith, started on a tour with her at Buffalo for a ntunbor of weeks and then brought his company and star back to tho Casino, which, it is said, ho rents from Mr. Aronson.

The success of Miss Tempest was pronounced, and her season will extend far into tho winter. It cannot be said that she gives a particularly novel performance, or that "The Fencing Master" will rank with "Robin Hood," but the tunefulness and swing of the opera are delightful, and both Mr. De Koven and Miss Tempest havo reached the goal. The horso show definitely marks tho passing of McAllister. He sat in obscurity at the back of a box or wandered occasionally from box to box, I fc A.

This evening the parishioners of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, Dobevoise place, will give a reception to their pastor, cry Rov. Vicar General P. J. McNamara. S.

J. at the Grand Opera house, in honor of his appointment to the important diocesan offico lately given him by Bishop McDonnell. Tho bishop will be present, and all the local priests who have had anything to do with this parish since its beginning have been invited to be present. These include Rev. Thomas Taaffe of St.

Patrick's, Rov. Joseph McNamee of St. Teresa's, Kev. James Donohne of St. Thomas Aquinas'.

Rev. T. F. McGronen of St. Anthony's.

Rov. M. J. Tiernoy of the Sacred Heart and the Rev. Martin Carroll of the Church of St.

Vincent do Paul. Tho assistants of the parish, Bev. M. Novin and Rev. J.

F. 0'Hara, have been active with tho leading laymon in arranging tho programme of the entertainment. Tho address of congratulation on behalf of the laity will be read by Mr. John D. Keiley.

Thero will bo appropriate music and singing by a band of children rom tho boys' and the girls' schools and addresses from them also. Somo roply from Father McNamara and a few word3 from the bishop will conclude tho affair, which promises to he enjoyable and satisfactory This parish was founded in 1SS7, when tho late Father John McCarthy, then ministering to the Catholics of Suffolk county, was given charge of it. He started in an old oil cloth factory then standing to the south of the. present structure, and said mass there until a frame church was built on the present vacant lot adjoining tho church and dedicated August 15, 1 857. He was in charge for over a year, when the late Father John McKenna, then a curate of St.

Mary's Star of tho Sea, was made pastor. Under him the parish rapidly increased in membership and in 1881 ho built tho three story school house that stands next the church. Ho also began the present church, the cornerstone of which was laid in September. 1S07, by Bishop Loughlin, the sormon boing preached dj tho late Bishop John McGill, the predecessor of Cardinal Gibbona in tho diocese of Richmond, who was then passing through tho city on his way to Rome. In 3808 ill health forced Father McKenna to resign and ho was succeeded by Father Thomas Taaffo.

He finished the church and it was dedicated on February 7, 18C9. It is a brick edifice, 70x128 feet, and seating 1.000. It is modern Gothic in stylo and cost about $05,000. The interior is plain but attractive. The congregation numbers over 6,000 souls.

Father Taaffo left in 1872 to take charge of St. Patrick's. His successor was Father James McHroy. Under his supervision tho parochial residence was orected and the convent for the sisters of St. Joseph purchased.

Father McDroy died of consumption in 1877, and then Father McNamara was appointed pastor. It was his third charge. After his ordination in Baltimore in 1870, he was made an assistant to Father Corcoran at St. Joseph's. In 1874 he was anDointed nastor of St.

Mnlachi's. Esst New York, where ho stayed until ho was named as Father Mcllroy's successor in August, 1877. rThere was a debt of $00,000 on tho church when Father McNamara took charge. This he had all paid off about six years ago, beside adding largely to the improvements of the parish. The mortgages on the schools, rectory, convent and all other parish property wero wiped out early in December, 1800.

So that property that cost tho parish about $120,000, now stands free and unincumbered. No doubt the church will soon be consecrated. In addition to his parochial duties. Father McNamara attends n.s chaplain to tho Raymond street jail and the city hospital. He is also spiritual director of the St.

Vincent de Paid society. J. he corner stono of the new mnnsstiirr for t.bo Sisters of the Precious Blood will be laid by Bishop McDonnoll on Thanksgiving day. Several of the bishops have issued pastoral letters recommending a special observanco of tho day. Bishop Foley, for instance, says to the reverend clergy and laity of the diocese of Detroit: The '4th of Novembnr by his excellency, the President of tho United States, as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the manifold blessings bestowed during tho past year, we cordially invite you to assemblo in your respective churches on that day and there at such hour as may be designated by the pastors, to assist at the solemn offices, thanking God for His blessings, asking pardon for our own deficiencies and begging a continuance of His uiurciim protection over our beloved country." jjisnop unapeue of Santa Fo, N.

will appeal to tho peoplo of St. Aumistine's church tn. day for the benefit of his very needy missions. On December 8, Right Bev. Bishop John J.

Keane. rector of tho Catholic university. Washington. TV will lecture for tho benefit of St. Augustine's' This will bo just following his lecture for tho Brooklyn Institute, on December 7, on "The Value of the Study of History." lhe new Diocesan Union of Catholin circles will give an ontertainment in St.

John's College hall on next Tuesday evening. Each circle will contribute part of tho programme and Father Canmer's orchestra will furnish the music. The union is made up of the Loughlin, St. John's" tno bpaulding, Fransioh, St. James' and Porboyre circles.

Tho officers are Rov. William Farrell. director; x. anannes, of the Spaulding, president; F. J.

Cassidy, of the Fransioli, vice president; and Miss Rogers, of St. James', secretary and treasurer. Thero is every reason to expect that the concert and reception, for the benefit of St. Mary's hospital, at the Pouch mansion, on next Wednesday evening, will even surpass tho groat success of last year. As a stated social function this even now bids fair to become a rival to the Emerald ball, which has been the local event of the winter Beason for the past fifty odd years.

On November S3 there will be a great local ecclesiastical synod held in St. Patrick's cathedral. Now York, at which Archbishop Corrigan hopes to havo nearly all his 500 priests present. It will be tho soventh synod of the archdiocese. The archbishop is erecting at Valentine's hill, near Yonkers, one of tho most ambitious seminaries in the whole country.

If his plana can bo carried out it will be a magnificent seat of theological learning. Already tho subscriptions to tho building fund amounts to uoarly 5 His personal contribution is tho chapsl. which will cost over $00,000. Bishop McDonnell may have a general convocation of his clergy also before the end or the. year.

This is tho twenty fourth and last Sunday after Pentecost and tho last Sunday of the ceclesinsti cal year. The epistle of the mass is taken from I Corinthians 15; the gospel from Luke H4. anl the last gospol from Matthew Next Sunday will be tho first Snn day of advent and the beginning of Christmas tido. Considerable savor can be added to the Thanksgiving feast by a remembrance of the fact that additions can bo very acceptably sent to what is to be provided for tho boys under the care of the St. Vincent do Paul society, at tho Poplar street home.

Father Yorke, who has been mado chaplain of the home, ought to bo enabled to have the first fete day he spends in his now charge as memorable as possible. Generous aid from old and new natrons will enable him to do this. Tho Hcv. F. J.

Maguiro of Albany, president of the Catholic Young Men's National union, has issued a circular to all the members of tho union reminding them that the general communion day will this year bo Sunday, December 11. The Rov. John M. Kiel pastor of the Church of tho Trsnsfifuration. has arranged a very instructive series of sermons for the Sundays in advent, preceded by musical vespers.

The topic will be "The Christian Family," which will be treated in the following order: First Sunday, "Tho Christian second. "The Christian third. "The Christian fourth. "Tho Christian Daughter." An alleged cable inessago from Romo says that the pope was very much pleased with Chauucey uepew ctiicago address. ins oratorical effort must have suffered a sea change in transit, for.

as it was printed on this side of the Atlantic, it was soverely condemned by every Catholic ecclesiastic who read it. The whole Catholic press still reverberating with the strongest strictures of tho famous after dinner talker. Mr. Depew will have to inako a very elaborate change iu his modes of thinking, as expressed at Chicago, before ho will be habilitated again in anything liko his former favor in Cutholic circles, if the expressions of the Catholic editors gauge popular opinion. THE GRIP W0ULDVT TAKE HOLD.

There was an almost total suspension of travel on the bridge Friday evening between 5 and 7 o'clock, caused by the failure of the grip on the cars to take hold of tho cable, mado slippery by tho rain. Chief Engineer Martin says that though the grips in use are tho best known contrivances for the purposo they will slip in rainy weather and nothing has yet been discovered to counteract the defect.

Bishop JIcDonnell Selects the Pastor of St. Patrick's, at Fort Hamilton, to the Rectorship Left Vacant by the Death of Vicar Uen eral Keegan The Curious History of the Old Pastorate.

Bishop MoDonnoll has appointed the Rev. James J. McCusker of St. Patriok's, Fort Hamilton, paBtor of the Assumption church, York and Jay streets. This is an irremovable rectorship which has beon vacant since the death, on May 10, 1S90, of the Into Vicar General William Keegan.

Temporary administrators since have boon Fathers Mulvaney, Malone, MaUen and Fitzpatrick. Tho new rector was born in Ireland about forty years ago and made his theological studies at tho Sulplcian seminary in Montreal. Ho was an assistant for several cars at St. Michael's church and was then made pastor at Hempstead. He ministered thero until Inst year when Bishop Loughlln sent him to Fort Hamilton, where things wore in a rather mixed up condition following the resignation of tho venerable Father Tnnzer.

Ho took charge last Christmas and has since given the utmost satisfaction as well to tho peoplo thero as to his ecclesiastical superiors. He shoulders an important and heavy burdon in tho now appointment he assumes to day. In tho selection of Father Canmer for a similar office in St. Peter's parish subsequent events have shown that the bishop mado a most fortunate ehoicp. The admirers of the new pastor of tho Assumption will be much disappointed if a similar result aoes not ootain there also.

Tho Assumption is the third oldest Catholio church in tho city and has a curious history. In 1S25, tho Bev. John Farnan was made pastor of St. James', Jay street. Ho was a priest full of zeal and ardor to make much progress in the advancment of the church, and wanted to go ahead much faster than the bishop Bishop Dubois had then succeeded to the vacant see on October 29, 1826 thought' desirable, and there was a clash of opinions.

During tho absence of the bishop in Europe, in 1829, Father Ffirnnn erected a building in connection with St. James' that tho bishop opposed, and when the latter remonstrated with him Father Farnan bo came insubordinate and refused to obey his ecclesiastical superior. The inevitable result followed. He was suspended, removed from the pastorate of St. James' and Kev.

John Walsh appointed in his place. This was in 1831. The deposed priest had many friends whose zeal in his behall outran for a time their good sense, and they were loud their eousures of the bishop's action in depriving them of a pastor they had loved so well, and who apparently doing so much for the advancement of tho church, only to be reprimanded for trying to do it. Father Farnan became recalcitrnnt and, backed by their influence, set out to build up an independent Catholic church. For this purposo they procured tho ito ol tho present Church of the Assumption, part of tho Brooklyn estate of tho lato Stephen Whitney of New York, at York and Jay streets, and.while under the ecclesiastical Farnan laid tho cornerstone on October 27, 1831.

The spirit of enthusiasm among his followers in rebellion against Bishop Dubois lastod long enough to build two or threo feet of tho walls of the proposed church, and then it died out entirely and tho project was abandoned. Tho building was sold under the foreclosure of tho heavy mortgage put on it and finally fell into the hands of a carpenter numed Jonathan Bogers, who roofed over tho unfinished walls and used tho place for his shop. Father Farnan did not long persist in his contumacy, however, and ho made a public profession of" his sorrow and of repentance for his action. The bishop, nevertheless, did not restore him to good standing, and it was not until Bishop Hughes succeeded to the see that he was freed from ecolesiastical censure. Ho went then to St.

Louis, where ho died few years ago. after many yenrs of zealous work, during which timo he'strlved by every possible means to repair the scandal of his early indiscretion, and gave much edification by tho sorrow ho manifested. Tho building remained as a carpenter shop until 1840. when Bishop Hughes bought it and completed tho original idea of making it a church. It was dedicated as the Church of tho Assumption on June 10.

1841, with tho Bev. D. W. Bacon as its first pastor. The parish then took in till the river front, from Atlantic street to the Wallabout.

Father Bacon spent thirteen years the parish and was then mado biiliop of Portland, on April 22, 1855. He was succeeded by Father Keegan, whoso life work was the history of the pariah to tho date of his death, two years ago. Father Willian A. Gardiner, the second as sistant at Sts. Tetcr and Paul's church on Wythe avenue, was transferred to St.

Michael's ohurch in South Brooklyn yesterday by Bishop McDonnell. Father Gardiner has been with Father Malone for the past three years, and the change was made at his own request, A HOBGAXATIC MABBIAGE. Mrxicn, November 19 Duke EmeBt Ludwig of Bavaria, having overcome tho opposition of his family, was to day married morganatically to tho object of his affection, the fraulein. Antonio Barth. It being an impossible thing for a real duke to marry a lady without any title whatever, the only thing to be dono was to give her one.

This very serious obstacle was removed by creating a title for her and she was married under the title of Freiflan Von Barolf. After tho ceremony the bride and and bridegroom started for Kufstein, in the Tyrol, thence they leave for a prolonged tour in Italy. Tho Fraulein Barth was an actress and first attracted tho attention of Prince Ernest while behind the footlights. She was singularly beautiful and won tho heart of the prince at once. The Trinco Begent Luitpold, hearing of his infatuation, did everything possible to separate the lovers, but opposition only made thoir love more ardent.

The Metropolis Under the Iron Hoofe of Equine Monarchs. A Great Week From an Amusement point of View Bronson Howard's New Play Manager nUTS Latest Success The Kew Man From Chicago.

Newspaper readers are probably pretty well surfeited with the horse show by this time. Both to its financial and social aspect it has been written about as extensively as the recent Columbian celebration. Apparently we run to extromes on topics of this sort just now in New York. But while all the talk of the social and financial success of the horso show is going on it should nor be forgotten that the exhibition is marvelous tri umph from the standpoint of excellence in horseflesh. One of the most important of the New York papers remarked placidly the other day that the how was equal to the best British exhibitions.

In point of fact there has never been horso show in England that compared with that of the present week in the Madison Square garden, as far as excellence in breeding and the high class of the horses are concerned. The great English prize winners, many of which wore imported here at enormous expense, were outclassed by our own horses. Some of the hackneys which had taken first prizes at Islington and other great 'English shows took third class honors here or 'were completely outclassed, and there is no ques that our prize winners could take first class prizes at the English shows. One amusing featuro of the week's adoration of horse flesh was the rumor which always gets out after a gentleman driver has won success in the ring. In this case the hero it is not necessary to mention his name took a spirited four in hand and drove with remarkable skill through the necessary evolutions in the ring.

He won the prize and the next morning all the papers gravely announced, as thoy have announced in every similar case of recent years, that the victory was all the more remarkable because the driver had driven that particular four before. Ho had bred the horses, but they had never all beon harnessed up together until thoy were entered for tho horse show. All of this, it is supposed, adds additional luster to the victory, but I wonder if anyone behoves it. I have seen this particular winner, for instance, driving this identical four early every morning for two months. I have seen him day after day coining out of the west gate of Central park shortly after 7 o'clock in the morning anil, as he usually drove up to the Washington bridge and back, ho must have started before 6 o'clock.

I cannot sec any reason why his industry and devotion to sport should not be admitted, instead of attempting to prove that his driving was the work of inspired genius. The judges mado a good rule when they were judging tandem driving by requiring tho owners to change places and drive teams that thoy had not before had under the reins, and thus tho award for skill ia the management of tandems was Justly placed. It was not true that the judges wore influenced by the names of the millionaire owners ot somo of the horses, for the judges' catalogues wero specially printed and in them the horses were indicated by numbers. It was therefore impossible for tha judges to tell the names of the owners unless they hnppened to know tho animals by sight. Their catalogues showed the numbers which wero hung on the horses themsolves and there were no charges of partiality on the part of the public.

This has been the greatest week, from an point of view, that we havo had in New York this year. Of courso the horso show took first place, but tho thoaters managed to pull up the interest of the public as the wook progressed, and there was a lot of money spent in adding to the general cheerfulness and entertainment of humanity. Mr. Bronson Howard's play has been discussod with endless energy and some acrimony. Tho most distinguished of American playwrights devoted two years of his time to the production of a play which he hoped would rank higher than "Shenandoah" and he 'has produced a drama which tells a powerful atory cogently, and which invariably excites discussion on the part of the audience.

It is tho well worn theme of the position of American girls who marry foreign noblemen. The central figure of the play is a Western millionaire who has made 70,000.000, and who, to gratify a whim of his wife, buys his way into British society. His daughter marries an Austrian prince, who is a type 01 a tnorongn paced rogue, and whoso wickedness forms the strongest and most pictorial element of the drama. The prince marries tho daughter so as to be near the young wife of the Western millionaire. The first two acts are devoted to the development of the millionaire's character, and it is shown that he is a man of invincible determination and violent methods.

It is said that he does not fight duels, but if a man gets in his path he kills the intruder as ho would a dog. The prinoe goes on calmly and determinedly in his effort to ruin tho wife of his father in law. At the critical juncture of the play he is caught in a compromising position with the wife and the audience instantly looks for the assassination of tho prince. Instead of killing him. however, the millionaire controls himself and delivers a speech about the difference between the aristocracy of Europe and that of America.

Then another character in the plav kills the prince and all ends with the semblance of happiness. The principal defect of tho play lies in the reiteration of the sentiments. Its effort is to show that men are bettor, more honorable, upright and decent in every way in America than they are in Europe. The author, however, ninkes the point that a foreigner sees nothing ignoble in marrying for money, becar.se he has been brought up to believe that is the natural thing to do. But he does aim to show that women brought up in the purer atmosphere of America can find nothing but misery the companionship of men of this class.

Whatever may be said of "Aristocracy" it must be admitted that the etrongth and power displayed in most of the scones and tho daring or the author in presenting an intrigue with such realism cans with re issuing lasty niter me long penes ot natnby pamby dramas to which wo have been treated thus far this se.isou in Now York. The popular success of the play is beyond question. The "standing room" sign is out every uight and seats are sold at a premium. No little shrro of its success is duo to the remarkable cast which Mr. 'roumnn has se lectod to interpret the play.

There are at least half a dozen leading men in tho organization, and the threo women ch.iracrers are played by such competent actresses as Viola Allen. Josephine Hall and Blanche Walsh. All of these are young and clover women ami their part of the performance is carried through with delightful force and spirit. Miss Hall's acting is particularly noticeable. There is not a trace of stige art in her performance, and its thorough naturalness has made it conspicuously suucer sful.

Among the actors are a number of men who are. 1 believe, more or less popular with the women who attend matinees, and whose photographs are extensively displayed in the shop windows. They are Wilton Lnckaye. Frederic Bond. William Faversham, Paul Arthur and Miller Kent.

The play is in for a long run in New York and it will keep theatergoers talking for many mouths to come. The addition of a new playhouso to New York's already long list cailed out a rather notable assemblage at the Manhattan opera house on Thirty fourth street on Monday evening. Nobody knows exactly why it was called an opera house, though it may have been due iu some measure to tho arrangement of the boxes. The house is a curious one. It extends from Thirty fourth to Thirty tifth street, and it is half a block west of Broadway.

Tliero is a very lare foyer, through which tho theatergoer passes on his way to his seat. The interior is enormous. There are three balconies, and tho first ono is given over entirely to boxes, of which, I believe, there are seventy or eighty, in a half circle. Each box is intended to hold six persons, though tliero is not room for more than four to nit comfortably. Mrs.

Bernard Beere. an actress of wide reputation iu i. is playing "Lena Dosyard" at the Manhattan opera house, and playing it with very little of the tire which she imparted to tho role in London. Her company, with tho exception of Maurice Barry more, is a bad one. Mrs.

Bernard reception on Monday night was exceedingly cold, and it is said that her failure to win a favorable verdict had such a depressing effect her that her managers have not yet been able to arouse her from the condition of lethargy into which she fell. I went to seo her play on Thursday night and I was surprised at her lack of enthusiasm. It was a mechanical performance from beginning to end. According to tho stories that are floating about she cried for two hours after her performanae on tho opening night, and her aubaaauent dejv essioa folly shows how easily Two Thousand Bright Half Dollars Struck Off. Ten Thousand Dollars Has Been Offered for the First One, and the 400th, the 14931 and the 1892rl Are Also Worth Considerably Hons Than Face Value What the Coin Looks Like.

Philadelphia, November 19 The mo9t vnluablo half dollar ever made in this country, and probably tho most valuable coin in existence, tho first the new world fair souvenirs, was turned out at tho United States mint horo today and delivered to James TV. Ellsworth, chairman of the committee on liberal arts of the world Columbian exposition. In addition to this valuable piece of money, for which a bid of 10,000 has bosn made, there were also coined nnd delivered to Mr. Ellsworth tho four hundredth, fourteen hundred and ninety second nnd eighteen hundred and ninety second of tho new half dollars. Over two thousand of the souvenirs were struck to day and the work will continue until all of tho 5,000,000 donated by congress are completed.

With the exception of tho four valuable coins already specified tho remainder will bo held at tho mint until orders for thoir disposal are received from the treasury department. Tho work of coining the souvenirs will, from time to time, be interrupted by the other work of the mint and the last of thorn will not bo finished much boforo the opening of the exposition in May next. The preparation for to day's event has been a subject of Rreat anxiety and Interest to Superintendent Bosbyshell and his assistants for some time past, and this morning at 10 o'clock found all arrangoments fully completed in accordance with carefully prepared Dlans. When the hour arrived Superintendent Bosbyshell was summoned to the press room by Chief Coiner William S. Steele, wiille Engraver Charles Barber, who designed the famous coin.

Chief Clerk M. H. Cobb and others assembled as witnesses. They gathered around an improved automatio toggle jointed coining pross. a noiseless, powerful, highly polished and wonderfully accurate machine, which excites the admiration of all visitors.

Two dies, one bearing the impression to be stamped upon the obverse face and the other the roverse, and the ODly pair in existence, were already in place. Beside the press s'ood a receptacle containing hundreds of shining planch ets blank silver pieces polished and milled, ready for stamping. No power was applied to the machine for the first test. Instead, Foreman Albert Downing placed ono of tho blank plancuets in the receiver and grasped he levoler which raises tho lower die, while Edwin Cliff, his assistant, stood at tho balance wheel. Then came the critical moment.

In another second the blank coin which had been prepared might bo worth $10,000 or. if Imperfect, about 35 cents. Unfortunately, the first attempt was a failure. Just a little flaw in the planchot or, perhaps, a little speck of dirt or grease smeared upon its face caused the coin's rejection. Cliff picked it carofully from tho die, for such coins ate not allowed to drop into the box beneath, lest they bo marked by the fall.

To an ordinary observer it might have appeared perfect, but the coiner and designer examined it under a glass. One glance was enough. a iatai naw was revealed, and tho verdict which consigned the prosoective 310.000 beautv to tho scrap box was pronounced. A hammer was at hand, and what might have been the most famous coin in history was battered into comptirativoly worthless metal. i no next attempt was made more carefully, for the reputation of the coiners was at stako: and they hud resolved that the first souvenir of tho exposition should be a marvel of perfection and beauty.

Tho planchot before being aocepted was examined under tho microscope and found without blemish. For the second time the two workmen turned tho press by hand, while the epec iMiuia waueu in suspense. Again the coin was lifted from the face of the steel die and critically examined by Coiner otcoi, engraver uaruer and tho superintendent, Bosbyshell. Every line was shnmlv defined nnd the strong features of tho discoverer of America, which adorn the face of the coin, I neeinuu lo iook approvingly on tno work. Columbus himself could not have done better and Uncle Sam's reputation as an artist was vindicated.

Cardboard boxes had been prepared for the reception of tho coins, very much liko those in which pills are sold. No finger touched tho first of the souvenirs, but the pliers gently clutched it by the rim and eonveyed tho lump to the box. which was immediately sealed and handod to tho world fair commissioner. The following certificate accompanied the coin: MrxT Of tiie United States at Phh.v 1 DELPHIA, SUPERnfTEXDENT'S OFFICE, November 10. 1802.

j. uoreoy cercny mat tae souvenir coin in box marked No. 1 was the first piece struck from the dies adopted for tho Columbian half dollar and sealed up in my presence and in tho presence of ho coiner, and delivered to Mr. James W. Ellsworth of the Columbian exposition directory.

0. C. Bosbyshell. Superintendent. After tho delivery of the first coin the foreman and his assistant continued coining by hand until they had struck 100 proof pieces, occupying about an hour in tho task.

Power was then applied, and the actual work of making 5.000,000 half dollars wont rapidly ahead. Be foro noon the first 2,000 wero finished and the money making ceased while the workmen ate their midday meal. The four hundredth, fourteen hundred nnd ninety second and eighteen hundred and ninety second coins wero sealed up precisely in the same manner as tho first, count being kept and the press stopped for a moment as each o' the numbers mentioned was reached. A similar certificate accompanied all four coins delivered to Mr. Ellsworth.

One of the new half dollars was shown to the Associated press representative this afternoon nnd it appealed worthy of all the praises tiiat have been bestowed upon it. It bears tho portrait of Columbus, according to Lotto, upon ono sido, while upon the other is tho discoverer's cnravol. tho Santa Maria, in full sail. Beneath the vessel is the date 1492 and two mon supporting hemispheres representing the old and tho new world. The motto "In God Wo Trust" and the date 18i)2 are tho remaining details.

FOUR MOTHERLESS LITTLE ONES. A. Kind Ilenrtect Woman Saves Them From Starvation. Timothy O'Herlihy, gas houso laborer, was arraigned in the Htirlom police court yesterday charged with neglecting his four children, named Mary, William, Christian and Hannah, aged respectively 13, 10, and 0 years. Agent Pringlo of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children found them on Friday at their home, 407 East One Hundred and Sixth street, suiTcring from want and neglect.

Since the death of their mother on September 7 last thoy have been compelled to subsist mainly on scraps of food given them by tho people in tho houso, ns their father refused to supply them with anything. About two woeks ago, Mary, the eldest child, went to tho bakers and begged loaf of bread to feed her sister and brothers who were crying for something to eat. But for tho kindness of Mrs. Lang, a neighbor, tho enildren would probably have died. Although, poor herself, she shared the little she had with O'Horlihy's children.

According fo Mary, her father was in the habit of bringing heme scraps of broad for them to eat that had been thrown away by his fellow laborers in tho gas house at Ninety ninth street nnd Second avenue. Agent Pringlo on hearing of this placed O'Herlihy under arrest and took charge of the children. O'Horlihy adinittod to Justice Meade that ho earned $18 a week, and was hold under bonds to pay for the children's board at Father Drumgooio's mission, whore tho magistrate committed them.

MR. MURPHY AND THE SESATORsIlP. An Editorial and Oommnnlcuitm in tlio Evening Post. Wo print in another column a letter from nn. eminent Domocrat of tliis cityivhich we cordiallr commend to tho attention of all concerned It in only because wo have cot so used to the spf etnele iu this citj of gross anil conspicuous unfitness iu office that tho proposal to" send Mr.

Eilwnrd Murphy to the United States senito has had as much success jis has thus far attended it. How it is that Mr. Croker. who Jisb of late displayed a certain nhrewdneas touchins the standing of Tammany hull in the Domocratic party, nnd has tho reputation of beiuc a cood, kind ho.is, should have allowed Murphy to bo slated for even United States senators in this state aro now slated, not elected for the aenntorship is one of the mysteries of Tammany politics which we do not profess to he able to solve. Nothing conld well he more Jamaijins to Tammany's reputation with tho at large rhan tho appearance of Mr.

Murphy in the senate from Mr. Clevoland'u own stato. An odder war of "supporting Cleveland" could hardly be hit upon. The penator from New York, elected immediately ifter the presidential election, by the victorious party, ought to be the President's right hand man, his mouthpiece in the senate ind orean of communication with tho loading committoes. Ho ought to share the President's views, be able to expound his policy and defend his acts, or, in other words, be a man of woight, influence and anthority wherever ho makes his appoarance and especially a mac agreeable to the Tresidout and on friendly, if not intimato, terms with him.

We will say nothing here of what the senators from New York have been and ought to be. if tho influence of the state, as the largest, richest and most populous in tho country, is to bo maintained in Washington, and especially if its great business interests, commercial and industrial, are to he properly looked after in ccngrss. are not looking at the matter eotoly from tho party standpoint. Tammany found out at Chicago last June how the country lareo feels toward it and it can hardly, its oxperier.co there, flatter itself that its position will bo improved by sending Murphy (o Washington to reinforce a Hill. To oxamino Mr.

Murphy qualifications for tho place would ba a waste of labor. He would doubtless himself consider an analysis of them a joke. JVeto York Evening I'ost. lioiember 10. Eaitorial.

Tho communication was as srn. anmpnr axd the sr.NATorisnti. To (7i Kdtor the Evming 'out: Sin Tho attitude of the F.vtnlnq p.yt during the caiufaicn just ended induces iuu (o hope that it will not allow longer to puss unchallenged 9. claim which f.ecms to pervado the political atmospher? and which certainly deserves the attention of all thoughtful citizens of New York I may say of all citizens of tho United States. I refer to a Bujgestion made in various quarters of the probahility of tho election to the United States senate of Mr.

Edward Murphy, jr. We doubtless all agree that every state in the Union should be represented in the national senate by its very best men by men of education, of experience in public r.ifairs, of social standing: in fact by mon or the highest personal character. This great state of New York, with a population exceeding that of several European kingdoms: ivjth tho wealth of an empire; standing in tho front rani; of civilization and of human progress, cannot be represented by Mr. Murphy before or in the senate of the United States. It would be an insult to every citizen of our state who has any consideration for his dignity; and were it not that wo may be growing accustomed to tho thoughts of his election, and for the fact that no suggestion has come from him or from his frieuds that ho would not accept the office were It tendered him, it would probablv be prematuro to troublo ourselves in regard to it.

Tho Evening has dono such noble work of late that it stands the very front rank of our pross; its able, independent, indefatigable assaults upon the enemy have certainly converted many Hepublioans from the absurd and cruel shams that they otherwise would have voted to continue. It is a great power and I trust it will not longer allow to grow the danger of snch a as tho sending of Mr. Murphy tc Washington an oenator from New York. Before closing this already too long communication, let ine suggest that probably 5lr. Clove land can.

if he will. Kettle the whole business. He is believed, generally, to be free from all pledges to Tammany hall; it is consistent with my view of his character to give faith to that belief, and for one. foci assured that he cannot havo promised to accept Mr. Murphy as a senator from New York.

I do not think that Mr. Cleveland cares much for the attempted insults which Mr. Murphy tried to put upon him when in Chicago last Summer, or that he would sacritlco tho public good for the gratification of a personal resentment. Nor do I boliove that Mr. Cloveland ptands so straight as to fall backwards, and that he wonld be so far mistaken in relation to the merits of the candidate as to consent to his appointment because he did not wish to appear to harbor ill feelings.

It seems to mo, however, that it is due to him to know that public opinion would be with him should he let certain parties understand that he doea not want Mr. Murphy in the senate. We certainly expect a great deal from the President otect: he has. in office and ont of office, of lat years been a grand object lesson to our people; fearless, true, consistent: and independently of our feelings as New Yorkers we should, as men, not expect him Buojmrcoiato norn atr.

but. whether still or moving, nobody noticed him. Tho matrons who formerly hung on his smiles nodded to him condescendingly the girls who know that he once held their social fnturn in his hands wont on carelessly talking as he passed. It was a melancholy sight and moved many of the spectators to pity, for Mr. McAllister is still in the flush of life and has been shelved long before his period of usefulness was over.

Ono could only think of Beau Brummel at Calais, recalling in his garret the glories of St. James, or of Beau Nash falling into snuffy senility in tho city where he was wont to give laws to the belles of the Pump room. McAllister had a longer term of offioo than oither Brummel or Nash. His power was greater than theirs, for, while they could merely set a fashion in fobs or cravats, ho could make the wives and daughters of millionaires prostrate themselves nt his feet. No man in the history of this republic has exercised so wide a sway aB Ward McAllister, and it must be confessed that ho oxercisod it with discretion.

His fall is the more to be regretted. Thero is a new man in town, and everybody that is to say, everybody who has seen him is talking about him and tho wonderfully clever entertainment that ho is giving at Tony Pastor's. His name is J. W. Kelly, and he has been performing in a Chicago variety theater, where he made a reputation that did not extend beyond the limits of the Wjndy city.

Not long ago ho came to the London theater, in this city, and his success there was so great that Mr. Pastor thought he would try him on his uptown audience for Fourteenth street is uptown in comparison to the Bowery. Kelly may bo described in a certain general way as the legitimate successor of Harry because his act is similar to that of the demented variety actor. He gives what is called in the case of M. Coquelin a monolgue.

but is known as "a sidewalk conversation" when it is dono in an American varioty theater. Now, there are a great many people who have attempted to give "sidewalk conversations," but it has always seemed to me that they wero at best but feeble imitations of John and Harry Kernell, the un rivaled monarchs in that line of entertainment. But Mr. Kelly is nothing if not original, and to begin with he shows his originality in his make up. He represents a prosperous workman of the type found, perhaps, in tho Carnegie mills, but he doos not appear in his rough working garb He comes out dressed in his Sunday clothes, a long frock coat of some black material and a high hat.

In fact, he looks exactly as such a man would look when out for his Sunday afternoon walk. Thus attired he regales his audience with a series of side splitting stories and comments on the things that he notices in his walks about the city. In justice to Mr. Kelly I will not attempt to repeat any of his stories here, and, moreover, it would be impossible to reproduce the quaint drollery which characterizes his narration. Newspaper accounts of the experiences of storm tossed mariners have formed an interesting feature of metropolitan journalism for some time past, and many of the reports surpass in descrip tive power the narratives of tho novelists.

The imagination of the reporters, however, has played an important part in most of these tales of the sea. Everyone remembers the ghastly stories published a few months ago about tho experiences of tho passongers on the cholera laden steamships and the pictures of despair on the part of the passengers whioh were penned by tho newspaper writers. Tho truth of tho matter is that the knowledge that the plague had appeared on board these steamships was most carefully con cealed from tho passongers, and the first intimation of tho dangers through which they had passed was only mado known to them when the ships wero ordered into the low bay by Dr. Jenkins. A few weeks ago the crew of a sailing vessel had become crippled by the breaking out of a peculiar and uncommon form of disease which unfitted tho sailors for active work.

The reportors wrote columns about tho sufferings of tho crew and tho disease was de scribed as being as deadly as tho cholera and quite as capable of being disseminated. A small sizod scare resulted from those reports. It turned out. however, that "beri beri" was no more to be dreaded than an ordinary attack of rheumatism The latest story of the dangers and hardships of the sea concerns tho disabled freight steamer England. Every two or threo days news of her having being sightod by other steamers, drifting helplessly in mid ocean and rof using all offers of assistance, were cabled from one side of tho Atlantic to tho other, and much speculation as to her safety was indulged in.

When she finally loached this pore one of tho daily papers immediately published a thrilling story of the voyage, with minute details of many things which never happened. It was said that the provisions wore nearly exhausted, that the crew were put upon a short allowance of water and that the men passed the time iu deadly fear of the foundering of tho vos sel in tho heavy seas. AU of whioh is denied in the most emphatic languago by the captain of tho steamship. Some of the newspaper men display qualities which would bo invaluable iu the Hold of fiction. A little more regard for facts would improve their newspaper work.
