In the light of those recent events which have occurred In your own land, remarkable. Hardly two years have elapsed since you owed allegiance to a flag other than that which floats over Cuba to day. Through centuries of conquest and acquisition of wealth and of all things that serve to make a nation great and famous, the historic banner of Spain waved over the plains of Cuba. At last the inevitable hour of destiny came when the inspired and patriotic leaders of the Cuban people realized that the blood of Cuba had been shed and her vast riches sapped in the interest not of her people, but of a long line of satraps, to whom the 'Pearl of the Antilles' was but a source of royal revenue or an unfailing spring of personal plun Carriage Plunged Into Creek at Bottom of Forty Foot Ravine. Jamestown, N.

August 21 While the members of the Jamestown Base Ball Club were riding home last night in a closed carriage, after playing at Warren, yesterday, the horses and vehicle plunged over a steep embankment, near Ackley, and several of the players were thrown into a creek at the bottom of a forty foot ravine. PltcheHWhisner sustained a fracture of the jaw and other severe injuries; Player Adklns suffered a fracture of the leg and many bruises and contusions and the others of the party were all more or less seriously injured.

Frank Daniels presented "The Ameer" at the Manhattan Beach Theater last evening, and it was welcomed in a manner which showed how great is his popularity at the seaside resort. How many encores and curtain calls were Insisted upon it would be difficult to say, for they were bejond counting, but certain it is that more enthusiasm was manifested last night than has been shown on any other occasion at the beach either this season or last.

"The Ameer" is wittier and much more continuous as a laugh raiser than it was when it held the boards at Wallack's during a portion of last season. It appears to have been worked over from the first word to the last with excellent good sense and an advantage to the piece as a whole which will be fully realized not only during the present engagement, but also when the comic opera goes on the road. The scenery and costumes are in every way adequate and the electrical effects are all that could be desired in order to show them to the fullest advantage. The manner in which "In Old Ben Franklin's Time" was received showed that the song had gained rather than lost in popularity, and as Mr. Daniels has a string of verses which is long enough almost to connect with the times of which he sings, he will be able to please all who insist upon encores until train time.

The burlesque of the three continuous performance stars and the really first class cake walk were also features of last night's performance which were cordially received. The singing of the qple of the. American heiress, which had been entrusted to Miss Helen Redmond, was accomplished successfully and earned some applause for the singer. But it was not that universal and contagious applause whiih always greeted Mr. Daniels, and the reason was not far to seek.

Miss Redmond has a clear, sweet, cultivated voice, but she Joes not connect with her audience, as Mr. Daniels does with his. Calmly, almost dispassionately, she takes the center of the stage, and, steeped in poetry and calcium light, bursts into, song. Maybe this is a goo.1 fault: there are few such singers in comic opera, but surely it should be possible for this really capable young actress to make some concessions to environment. The balance of the support is really excellent, and as the leading woman will doubtless warm to her part as the season grows older it is only fair to the management to state that Mr.

Daniels has "The In better shape than ever; that it is clean and wholesome throughout and that it is one of the very best attractions that ever was offered at Manhattan Beach. Manager Grover has again succeeded in securing for the Brighton Beach Music Hall this week an excellent list of top liners in the way of vaudeville entertainment. The people who journey down to Brighton for their summer night's entertainment have come to count upon the excellence of the bills provided there, and as usual the house was comfortably filled last night. The vaudeville portion of the programme opened with some good singing and clever imitations by "Baby" Lewis, who, in spite of the claim to youth made upon the bill, showed remarkable, confidence in her powers to entertain. The sterner half of the Howard and Blair team was quite as entertaining in his manipulation of the keys of the piano with hands or feet as of old, while the other portion of the combination sang and danced to fill in his resting spells.

In the way of trained animals Herbert's dogs showed unusual excellence, particularly in the way of cake walk steps, which a tiny fellow, dressed in all the finery of a Thompson street belle, did with amusing seriousness and precision. There was some unusually high jumping by the hounds, and the act closed with a high dive from the roof of the hall by a little curly dog, who climbed up a ladder to the platform above and took the header to the net below without a whimper. George Fuller Golden was at times entertaining in his monologue act, in which his friend Casey always figures. The number which fell to Gertrude Haynes. Master James "Byrne and a boy choir of twenty voices was quite as agreeable to the audience as ft was when the Choir Celestial held the boards at this house earlier in the season.

Master Byrne's voice is a particularly sweet and pleasing one. 3nd in "The Holy City" and "The Palms' it was heard to advantage. The encore was a hearty one. The programme closed with some views by the American, vitagraph. There was the usual prelude by Slater's Brooklyn Marine Band, the selections including: overture, "Zampa," by Herold; selection fr.im "Princess Cbic," by Edwards; one of Perlot's polkas and "Germans Before Paris," by Trenkler.

The programme of the afternoon concert on the hotel veranda was as follows: Overture, "Fest," Leutner; title serenade for flute and horn; selection. "Wizard of the Nile," Herbert; waltz. "Health, Wealth and Happiness," Frank M. Witt mark; medl' overture. popular melodies.

Slafer; clarionet duet, selected, Messrs. Voight and Metzger, soloists; musical scenes from Scotland, Langey. and march. "That's the Ticket." Edward E. Rice.

In the evening the concert included the following numbers: Overture, "Fra Diavolo." Auber; waltz, "Dream of the Ocean." Gun gle; selection, "Carmen," Bizet; trio for horn, oboe and bassoon, selected, Messrs. Babbe. Hemau and Pfanenkuchen, soloists; scenes from "Lohengrin," Wagner; "Monastery Bells," Wely; Pizzicato Polka. Strauss; march, "On Parade," Saro. The American Opera Company began its fourth and last week at the Casino.

Bergen Beach, last night. Auber's "Fra Diavolo" was sung. The company has had a successful engagement at the cozy iittie theater beside the board walk and the work done In "Fra Diavolo was as pleasing as that offered in "The Mascot," "The Chimes of Normandy," or "The Mikado." Some of those in the cast were not so familiar with the lines perhaps as with those of the other works, but the performance moved smoothly, and that fact was known only to those sitting in the front rows. J. Aldrich Libby did better work than in any of the previous operas.

He has a good voice, but is inclined to overact. Last night, as Fra Diavolo, he kept within bounds and received more applause than at any time since he appeared at the beach. In the second act Mr. Libby sang "A Sentinel's Sleep" and this pleased Immensely. Ethan Allen, as Lord All cash, won considerable applause buthls acting was not so good as in "The Mikado." Miss Josie Intropldl played Lady Allcash and had a part that was suited to her.

William Blais doll and George Miller appeared as Beppo and Giacomo respectively, and Miss Josle Hutchins scored a hit as Zerlina. Ethel Venne assumed the character of Francesca Verona, which she interpreted very well. Jules Cluzettl, as Lorenzo, was a clever soldier, and Mr. DIard was Matteo. "Fra Diavolo" will be sung until the close of the engagement.

Next week, "The Queen of the Orient." Manager Williams has provided a better bill than usual on the Casino Pier this week. Chief among the artists appearing there is Grace Porteus. a comely young woman, who wears bright and becoming costumes, dances gracefully, and sings sweetly. Among the others are Williams and Hood, songs; Pattle North, comedienne; Gruet Brothers, comedy acrobats; Bertina. acrobatic dancer, and Lea and Ritchie.

THE COURTS. MOTION TERM. Supreme Court, spaclal term tor motions. Burr J. Ex business nt JO o'clock.

Motion calendar collc ii ai mg the dividing line of toe Tartar city. ij reach Legation street you go through Front Gate, up the avenue a hundred yards, and turn to your right. Half a mile to the east you cross a creek. On your left, northward, following the creek, He the Rufsian and British legations. Straight ahead lie the rest, the American first.

The British Legation is thus well situated for defense, having a broad stone embanked meat in front of It, which follows the road from the wall of the Imperial or Inner City on the north to the wall of the Tartar City on the south, cutting Legation street at right angles near the United States Embassy. The moat is the overflow of the Tunghul River, which enters Peking on the north side and is diverted into ornamented lakes within the Imperial City. It is, therefore, flowing water, although in summer it becomes almost stagnant. At its southern extremity it passes under the division wall by a grilled tunnel, and' long before the enemy had thought of blocking the upper inlet the Americans had dammed the outlet so the moat gradually filled up, supplying an abundance of water. In.

addition, the legation compound of seven acres was surrounded by. a solid eight foot wall: At the back of the British Legation stood the Hanlin Yuan, the British Museum of Peking and the principal government buildings of the Six BoardB. The government was as much concerned to preserve these edifices from the Boxers as to destroy the legations. Thus, while the front was protected by the wide, open space of the road and moat, the rear was shut to military operations by the value of its buildings. Behind the Six Boards rose a thirty foot wall, inclosing the Tai Ping Ancestral Temple and other public buildings in a sort of annex to the Heavenly Gate of the Imperial City.

The British Legation thus 3tood la the most aristocratic quarter of the Tartar City, lying in an angle of the sacred walls of the Imperial City. Since none but court officials are allowed to enter the Heavenly Gate, this wall could not be occupied by the Boxer rabble. Later, however. Tung refused to respect the sanctity of the quarter, and the result was that the Hanlin College, with its priceless library, was burned. Dr.

Morrison says it. was Bred in the hopes that the flames would spread to the British Embassy. The writer's native informant said it was fired by the British in order to improve tlreir rifle C. M. OBITUARY.

Says Many Populists Will Be Driven From Bryan Unless Party Has Candidate for Second Place. Chicago, August 21 rThe latest reports received here indicate that the Populist national committee, which is to meet in this city on the 28th instant, may not he as harmonious as was predicted when the executive committee was in session here early in the month. The meeting is called for the purpose ol selecting a candidate for the vice presidency. When Mr. Towne declined the nomination the Populists it was generally supposed that Mr.

Stevenson would receive the Populist indorsement hy general consent. The correspondence which has taken place among members of the national committee of that party since the executive committee meeting in this city ten days ago, makes it plain that this result, while apparently still probable, will not be accomplished without a struggle. Indeed, it is understood that many of the leaders of the party are strongly urging that the committee shall name an independent candidate. Those who take this position include a ma jor'ity of the officers the national committee, among them being Chairman Butler and Treasurer Washburne, who are pronounced In their views. Vice Chairman Edmisten is also said to incline toward the opinion that wisdom demands that the Populists have a candidate of their own in the field.

Secretary I Edgerton is credited with being the only ol flcer of the organization who is friendly to the indorsement of Mr. Stevenson's candidacy. Mr. Stevenson's friends claim that Edgerton is working effectively in their behalf. The best canvass of the committee they have been able to make causes them to feel hopeful of the result.

Still, those now committed to this course are considerably below a majority in Senator Butler and others who agree with him contend that it will be suicidal for their party not to have a candidate of their own political faith in the field. They also hold that, unless there is a Populist votes will be many Populist votes will be driven from Mr. Bryan. The national committee has full power to act, In accordance with the instructions of the Sioux Falls convention, and it is presumed that its decision, when made, will be final. POPULISTS TO NOTIFY BRYAN.

T. M. Patterson, chairman ol the notification committee, will then deliver the notification address, which will be followed by the reply ot Mr. Bryan. An Informal reception will be held at the speaker'e stand after Mr.

The speech is about 4,000 words in length. It deals largely with the trust question and Business conditions. Mr. Bryan will, however, present "imperialism" as the paramount issue. THE CHINESE CAPITAL.

Eagle Correspondent Gives a Clear Idea of the Pour Peking Cities. Admiral Remey's cablegram saying it is reported that the Empress Is detained in the inner city, which is being bombarded, will once more call forth the stereotyped and conflicting descriptions of Peking which have already seen' so much service during the past two months. Few people seem to care to grasp the names of the four cities. Doubtless Admiral Remey meant the inner city with a small which would naturally mean the inclosed center of the main city, whatever its Chinese name might be. But I notice, one paper, goes out of its way to say "The Inner City generally known as the Forbidden City." Now unless I have greatly forgotten, this is, with its capital letter a mistake.

The Chinese for Inner City is Neischlng (generally pronounced Noljlng.) The name Noiching is used to describe the original Peking, what we call the Tartar City, in contradistinction to the new suburb or Chinese city, which they call Walching, the outer city. The Inner City with a capital I simply means old Peking. The inclosure called the Forbidden City, is not even the next set walls. But I can make it clearer thus: Imagine a green hazel nut. To get at the nut you strip off the husk.

To get at the kernel you break the shell. That is how Old or Inner Peking is arranged. The kernel is the Forbidden City (Chinching.) The shell is the Imperial City (Huangching.) The tusk is the Tartar City (Notching.) Outside, where the stalk would come, Is the Outer or Chinese City. The capital, originally a square, is now, by the walling in of the suburbs in the shape of an inverted the strokes of which are hollow quadrangles The upright quadrangle, on the north, is the original capital, called the Inner or Tartar City, or the City of Nine Gates. It is four miles long and three miles broad.

The lower quadrangle, called the Outer or Chinese City, is a little larger, containing about fifteen square miles. The original city is completely walled and moated, and the walls of the Outer City join it at the southern corners. The south wall of the Tartar City Is, therefore, called the division wall, because it separates the two. It is pierced by three gates, three quarters of a mile apart. The central gate is called the Chlenmow, or Front Gate, and from it an avenue leads directly northward to the South or Heavenly Gate of the Imperial City.

This Imperial City, or Huangching (Huang also means yellow), is a walled town in the center of a walled town. The name Tartar City, therefore, applies properly only to the outer rim of the old capital. The Imperial City is about two miles long by one broad, its walls running parallel to the outer walls of the Tartar City. Within this again Is the Forbidden City, a cluster of palaces covering a walled quadrangle 1,000 yards long by 700 wide. Now, suppose that, the Inverted represents the skeleton of the united cities; the aorlzontnl stroke in iho south or division wall of the old city, with the Chinese City it, apd the vertical stroke Is the ronln Pharmacist Has Been in Business in Eastern District 'for a Half Century.

BROOKLYN'S OLDEST DRUGGIST. Dr. Bay Will Doubtless Be Honored at Next Meeting of Pharmaceutical Associates. The Pharmaceutical Society of Kings County when it meets next month after the summer recess will take steps to honor Its treasurer and one of its oldest and most respected members, who has the distinguished record of being the only physician and pharmacist in Greater New York who is about to complete fifty years' service to the public at one store and at one corner. He is Dr.

Peter W. Ray and his place of business Is at the northeast corner of South Second and Hooper streets, in the Eastern District, or. strictly speaking, 379 South Second street. Dr. Ray's store is a frame building, but inside it is quite modern, the man at the head of It being one of the most respected members of.

the profession of medicine, pharmacy In the borough. Dr. Ray took possession of the store August 24, 1850. The coming Friday, therefore, will mark his jubilee. When he began business Hooper street was called Eleventh street, the Eastern District being then the City of Williamsburgh, with a population of 65,000.

There were no streets going through from Grand to Broadway above Union avenue and Hooper street had not then been cut through. Two frame houses adjoined Dr. Ray's store and they are there yet. People at that time used to go down South Second to Keap street and cross the open lots to Broadway The latter thoroughfare was then considered a poor business thoroughfare, while Grand street was, popularly speaking, the street of Williamsburgh. It was for that reason that Dr.

Ray chose the location on which he 'still carries on business, thinking that Hooper street would be the thoroughfare which would be the busiest one, crossing from Grand street to Broadway, but In this he was mistaken. Dr. Ray admitted this himself as he sat in his study this forenoon and gave an Eagle reporter the above interesting facts. Dr. Ray will be 76 years of age April 19 next.

He was born in Bcekman street, Manhattan, where he attended the public schools. He began life as an apprentice to Dr. James McCune Smith, then a well known practitioner, who had received bis education in Edinburgh, Scotland, a member of the Academy of Medicine of New York City and a member of the New York Historical Society. Dr. Smith, who is many years dead, received a medal from the American Geographical Society for a work he wrote describing the islands of the Caribbean Sea.

Dr. Ray remained in Dr. Smith's service for six years, until he was 20, attending meantime lectures In the New York College of Pharmacy, which was then in a garret with bare rafters for a ceiling at Broadway and Reade street, Manhattan. Lawrence F. Reade was professor of chemistry and Benjamin F.

Mc Cready professor of materia medica. After leaving Dr. Smith's service Dr. Ray attended Bowdoin College, Brunswick. for some time, and afterward Castleton College, Vermont, where he graduated as a physician, receiving the degree of M.

D. in 1849. From there Dr. Ray went to Boston, where he became an assistant to Dr. Warren in the Massachusetts General Hospital.

After filling that position for nine months Dr. Ray was given charge of the smallpox hospital in Charlestown. Mas: Ha came to this borough in July. 1850. When he opened the drug store on Keap street he was hacked by Dr.

William C. Roberts, then a professor of obstetrics in Manhattan, as well as his preceptor. Dr. Smith, and he received many of the patients of both these men with their consent. In his time Dr.

Ray has hnd as many as neve: patients at one time and was In thp habit of keeping two horses so that In one day he would be able to visit all his clients. He gave up outside practice three years ago. since then devoting himself to his store and inside practice, where he prescribes as well as makes up prescriptions. He has an assistant at the counter in t. Moss, who has been in Dr.

Ray's service for over twenty years. Dr. Ray has been a widower for ten years. He had one son. who died young, and his only daughter is the wife of the Rev.

Owen M. Wnller. pastor of St. Luke's P. E.

Church in Wasblnrton. In addition to being a trustee of the Pharmaceutical Society Kings County and treasurer of it. and the Brooklyn College of Phnrmacv. he is a member pf the Pharmaceutical Association and the New Yort State Pharmaceutical Association. It was through a resolution moved by him in a public meeting that the Brooklyn College rf Pharmacy was He Is a thirty third degree Mason.

The funeral of the late Justice Frederick Smyth of the Supreme Court took place this morning, at 11 o'clock, in the Church of St. Gabriel, on East Thirty seventh street, near First avenue, Manhattan. A solemn requiem mass was celebrated by Bishop Farley and in the congregation were many of the judge's representatives of the departments of the City of New York, many lawyers and a considerable number of women. Richard Croker was one of the pallbearers.

The body was in a casket covered with black cloth, which lay on a catafalque in the middle aisle. The bier was covered with a black pall, with white trimmings. During the requiem the choir sang a number of hymns and at the' close of the services rendered "Nearer My God to Thee." The interment was in Greenwood Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Richard Croker, Justice James Fitzgerald, Justice Edward Patterson, Justice William M. Cohen, Justice Rufus B.

Cowing, ex Justice Donohue, William Clap worthy, Francis HIgglns, Judge Morgan J. O'Brien and Edward Farrell.

The Mayor's office, the Board of Aldermen, the Council, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, the Court of General Sessions, the Court of Special Sessions, the City Courts, many municipal courts, the law department, charities, corrections, police, docks and ferries, finance, educational and other departments, were represented. FENCE WAR SETTLED.

Coney Island Business Men Agree Not to Disagree Any Longer. The little fence which was erected early in the season between the property of Frederick Henderson and that of Louis Stauch, at Coney Island, has been removed and the friends of both men are now saying things about their champions. Both Henderson and Stauch are the best ot friends and have been ever since the fence was erected, and its removal has not caused any feeling one way or the other between them, but among a number of people It Is the principal topic for discussion. The fence was erected by Henderson, as those who visited that portion of the beach and road the sign were Informed. The sign had been placed there by a man named Hoch and it read as follows: "This fence was erected bv Henderson Co.

and not by George W. Hoch." Hoch has a bathing pavilion at the foot of Stratton's walk, and he started in to do a big business at the beginning of the summer. Henderson also has a bathing establishment at the foot of Henderson's walk, the next thoroughfare to Stratton's. He sought to have his business Intact, it Is said, and he decided to erect the fence between his property and that on which Hoch's place Is situated and which, it is said, is owned by Stauch. The trouble followed and rather than have it continued Henderson decided to take the ferjoe down.

Beginning at Grant's Tomb They Enter the City From the Upper Fnd. COLUMBIA COLLEGE VISITED. After a Walk Through Central Park, the Party Lunches on the Mall. Guggenheimer's Address. New York City is providing an object lesson.

Illustrated with rapidly moving pictures, for the Cuban school teachers to day. The troupe began to get a movimiento on as early as 6 o'clock this morning and it will be well along toward nightfall before the sight seeing is over. In all their tropical experience it is safe to say that the visiting West Indians never moved so continuously as they do today. There was no high noon siesta nor opportunity to rest on a shaded balcony and languidly wave a fan. It was a case of "Follow the man from Cook's," as the song relates, from the time the Iron steamboat touched nor dock at One iiundrod and Twenty ninth street and the North River uutil the journey homeward to the transports was begun.

To night the band leaves for Philadelphia, prior to sailing for Havana a wise plan because it will give the teachers a chance to rest and recuperato in an atmosphere of quiet. The weather this morning was admirably suited to sight seeing. In fact, it was a little bit cold for tropical natures and many of the Cuban women wore wraps. They boarded the steamer from their floating homes while most people were still dreaming and started up the Hudson in the best of spirits. The sun was struggling with the clouds, which afterward conquered it by the time the steamer reached Riverside Park, but although a rainfall seemed likely at any minute, none came The teachers formed in line at the One Hundred and Twenty ninth street dock and escorted by four burly policemen, who were not Cubans, the procession moved on.

Carried on ahead were two flags, one that of the United States and the other the standard of Cuba. Very closely resembling the senior bible class of a large Sunday school on Anniversary Day, the teachers came slowly up the hill toward Grant's Tomb, which the day's itinerary stated was the first place to be visited. For upward ol an hour previous the stone plaza at the basr of the tomb had held a number of expectant groups. The members of most of theni were Cubans or Spaniards and the above stray conversation which occasionally escaped into the air at large reminded one strongly of a cigarmakers' convention. It wats a long while after the boat touched her pies up the river that the head of the educational column reacned the hill where Grant's tomb stands.

When the two waving standards appeared, the waiting groups became animated. Men and women jumped up and got out their handkerchiefs. "Viva!" was the burden of what they said, and when they got near enough the Cuban teachers replied. There was not much time to be spent at the tomb and, as a result, the various divisions had to be hustled through it like a crowd of American tourists "doing" a foreign city. In fact, after two delegations had ascended the steps and passed within, it was announced that the rest aculd have to proceed without entering, but such a clamor was raised that the order was rescinded.

"Why, they are Just crazy to go in." cried one of the city guides; "don't disappoint them." They may have been crazy, but they didn't look it. Indeed, a calmer, quieter, more matter of fact baud of tourists never set foot in New York City, If the actions of the morning form a fit criterion. Put the same number ot Americans close together in a place they had never seen before and talk would run rampant, but to day, among the Cubans, there was scarcely any conversation and absolutely no mingling of voices. It would not be fair to say that the difference was caused by lethargy or lack ot interest in what was being seen. It was merely the Cuban style.

Inside of Grant's Tomb the teachers were kept moving. Entering at one side they passed out of the other and in very few cases was any explanation made to them concerning the great mausoleum or the man who lies buried there. It is possible that the tomb in waiting for Mrs. Grant may have occasioned some surprise among the visitors, but no questions regarding it were put to the interpreters. Then very likely they thought Mrs.

Grant was dead, a very natural supposition when there is a tomb in the vault with her name upon it. From the grave of Grant to Columbia University is but a step comparatively and the teachers started off in several sections, each with a special conductor. There could be no mistaking the nationality of the party. Some were dark complexioned, verging almost on the negro, and some were light, but the stamp of Spain was on every countenance. To a quick observer, the young women seemed to have all made rapid progress in the process of Americanization.

American shirt waists of summer hues were popular all along the line and here and there could be seen that most modern article of feminine apparel, the rainy day skirt. One woman, rather beyond middle age. wore the picturesque Mantilla, so often noticed in Porto Rica and Cuba, but the majority of clothes characteristic were strictly United States. At Columbia, the teachers assembled in the gymnasium, where a brief address of welcome was made to them by Dom Van Amrlnge. The dean, clad In cap and gown, spoke to the delegates in English, but sentence by sentence, his remarks were translated into Spanish.

After saying hiw disappointed he would have been had his hearers gene away from New York without visiting Columbia, Dean Van Araringe said: "Free institutions cannot be established unless they grow out of the cultivated intelligence of the masses. The school is a fit emblem of racial liberty and to you who are the high priests and priestesses in the great temple of learning on your beautiful island is committed the task of keeping intact the bulwarks of a truly free Cuba." When the interpreter on the platform along side of the Dean had translated the section portion of the above paragraph to thp Ilsten inc crowd, a 9torm of hand clapping greeted it. When the Dean had finished, a number of Harvard men, who accompanied the party from Cambridge, grouped themselves in a corner of the gymnasium, and let out the deep, throaty yell of their university. They tacked "Columbia" onto the end of it and one nervy Columbia man, the only one present in the front nt the time, gave the Columbia all by himself, much to the wide eyed wonder of the Cuban girls and much to the amusement of the Harvard men. Then the big Columbia library was inspected, but although the entire college was open and at the disposal of the visitors, a hasty departure had to be made in order that the day's itinerary might be adhered to.

The teachers were then taken to Public School No. on West One Hundred and Ninth street, a fine modern building for children's education. It was inspected from top to bottom. The party was met here by President Miles O'Brien of the Board of Education and Commissioner O'Keefe. President.

O'Brien delivered an address, in which he said he was sorry they could not see the schools of the city in operation with half a million pupils and hundreds of teachers. He described the educational system of the city from the kindergarten to the high school, and the influence of public schools on the nautical lite. The party again sang the Cuban national hymn and after it "Nearer, My God, to Thee." Central Park was included in the next part of the programme. The party took the Amsterdam avenue cars and riding tc Seventy second street continued their journey downtown on foot through the Park to the Mall. There on the East Side lawn acting Mavor Guggenhelmer spoke to them in behalf of the city.

Acting Mayor Guggenheimer's Address. Mr. Ougpenhc irner said: "It is a pleasure and honor to have this opportunity of addressing you in my capacity as acting Mayor of the City of New York, because I believe the occasion to be not only unique in the Mstcry of (hi metropolis of THEIR WIVES TAKE A HAND. Fight in the Street Disturbs Staid and Sober Bay Ridge Folk. The various little family squabbles that have occurred in the Bergen family at Bay Ridge during the past year have served to stir up that usually quiet and staid community to an unwonted degree and just at present the residents along the Shore Road are discus sing the latest outbreak, which, it is alleged took place on that thoroughfare last Sunday night between two of the representative members of that old and respected family.

The theme is one in which the old families 61 the neighborhood are deeply interested and they are looking forward with interest to. the outcome when the casus belli is aired in the Coney Island court before Magistrate Voor hees on Friday morning. The parties concerned are John Bergen and Tunis Bergen, both of whom reside in handsome houses on the Shore Road. The men have families and, are well along in years; but, according to the neighbors, they have agreed to disagree and are, therefore, almost constantly in. trouble.

About a year ago the men went to the Coney Island court before Magistrate Nostrand and told their stories. The magistrate, who was well acquainted with them, tried to bring about a truce and to induce them to forget and forgive the past, but that seemed impossible at the time, and, it is said, one of them was bound over to keep the peace. It was then charged that John Bergen had held a gun too close to Tunis Bergen's face and had threatened all sorts of things. If the stories be true John has presumably violated the oath he took a year ago when, It is alleged, he was placed under bonds to keep the peace and if all reports be true hostilities were renewed with exciting details early Sunday evening on the Shore Road, near Seventy fifth street. It Is said that about 8 o'clock on that evening Mrs.

John Bergen was sitting on the porch enjoying the cool breezes from over the Narrows when Tunis Bergen came down the road. Mrs. Bergen noticed that Tunis glared in the direction of the John Bergen home and as he passed by, it is said, Tunia made some remarks concerning the John Ber gens. Mrs. John resented it, of course, and.

within a minute or two the hatchet, which had been laid away on the shelf, if not buried, was out once more and the Bergen war was on In earnest in the quiet precincts of the Shorei Road. The story goes that before Tunis really realized what the consequences might be, John Bergen arrived on the scene, summoned, by his wife's warning cry. There was a meeting of all three In the road and the neighbors declare that it was a warm one. In fact, Tunis declares that he had a hot time of it for a minute or two, and that even now he. sees upper cuts and right jolts coming hia way in hfs sleep.

But Tunis was game, and when he finally realized that the odds were against him. he says he lifted up his voice ir. not only protest, but warning. It is said that his family, including his wife, son anti daughter, heard, and appeared on the scene promptly. And then, according to the neighbors, It was Bergen eat Bergen for twenty minutes.

Some of the witnesses to the fra to said it was the best scrap they had witnessed in a long time and the women were jUBt as, expert In handing out Tight swings and left jabs as were the men. With exhaustion came a truce and the forces were untangled' and finally separated and the witnesses declare that some ot them carried marks of the, encounter which grew more apparent as time or; on. It was at first rumored that John lost half of his mustache, but careful investigation this morning seemed to establish the fact that the rumor is without foundation, in fact. The direct cause of the trouble in the Bergen families is due. it is said, to the marriage which John Bergen contracted about thirteen years ago.

He married a Miss Loveland ot Connecticut and the match, It Is said, displeased the members of the Tunis Bergen family. Since that time the brothers have not been as chummy as of old. It Is said, that Mrs. John Bergen was not admitted into certain circles of Bay Ridge society and that greatly bothered her husband, who has tried! to settle the differences between his brother and himself; but to no purpose. It is safe to predict that the scene in the, Coney Island court room will be a lively one on Friday morning, for the belligerents will be on hand, as application has been made for a legal enforcement of a truce in the warfare.

Sheboygan, August 21 A recount ofj; the buildings wrecked here in the tornado yesterday shows that first reports were considerably exaggerated.

Nevertheless, nearly one hundred buildings were destroyed and, the monetary losses foot up about $100,000. The most remarkable feature of the storms is that not a life was lost. Most of the: wrocked buildings were frame affairs of smalL' worth. Reports from the north show that the storm originated at Marinette and followed the line of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad south to Oshkosh. There it veered to the.

eastward and spent its fury on Lake Michigan. While it did considerable damage all. along Its Track, it was most severe here' The width of the storm was about half mile. It did not move close to the only touching at wide intervals. LARGE LAND SALE.

Malone, N. August 21 The Bverton, tract of land, comprising 22,000 acres, belonging to the St. Regis Lumber Company, in the owu of Santa Clara and Duane, has been, I uixhused by a Malone agent for clients in 1 iork, supposed to be the Rockefellers, who already own large tracts oi ianu in tnis vicinity. Arrangements are being made to. lumber the tract and the pulp and hard wood will be taken off.

The Bverton mill will be repaired and it is said that the Everton Railroad will be rebuilt der. I "Tbon with the aid of the United States of America, gladly given even at the price of blood and treasure, you threw off the yoke and attained that freedom which is the inalienable right of every legally organized society upon the earth. "But it is not this alone which makes this occasion rare and of especial interest. History has often recorded the successful efforts made by a colony to sever bonds which linked It to the mother country. Nor are there wanting, in such cases, exact parallels to the story of Cuba's Immortal struggle, in which a strong and chivalrous ally stood in the forefront of the revolutionary war.

But such political revolts have always in the past been followed by the continuance In a modified form, of the political, executive, social and educational institutions of the deposed tyranny. "In the case of Cuba, however, a startling change has manifested Itself. The radical nature of the revolution which banished the power of Spain forever from the Western Hemisphere Is emphatically declared in this visit nt Cnhn teachers to the United States. The course you have taken In Harvard, the 'oldest university In America and an institution nt oerhans the most thor oughly representative of advanced American thought, will he one of the pleasantest memories in your lives. You have shown by your desire to receive instruction in those methods of education which have built up the American character that you have not been content to secure political freedom only.

You havp proved yourselves worthy of your newly acquired emancipation by carrying it forward to its natural development, the law, order, strength and progress which are the necessary products of knowledge. "No nation in the history of the world has risen to true and lasting greatness whose progress has not had at its base a system of education. That alone, in my opinion, constitutes the true greatness of the United States. The fathers of this republic recognized the fact that the growth and prosperity of this nation would be in direct proportion to the number and efficiency of its schools. I believe that that is absolutely true.

The City of New York, which, I think, is in this respect the typical city of America, possesses the finest educational system In the world. Here among us the doors of higher education are not shut in the face of the poor. The boy or girl whose intellect is trained by stu dious application can pass from the kinder i garten to the university. A republic can have no privileged class, and Its citizens i must, therefore, necessarily maintain that the department of public education transcends in its Importance all other agencies of gov ernment. "Ladies and gentlemen, when you return to Cuba, you will apply to practical uses the garnered wealth of your studies and investigation.

You will realize that the life work i of the teacher, however dull and common place it may at times appear, is the highest and noblest office in the Innd; and. in the strength of a new impulse, vou will know that your visit to America has not been in vain. A sacred trust has devolved upon you, and it gives me the greatest gratification to wish you every success In the glorious field i of your duties as teachers of the young, feel ing sure, as I do, that the application of the broad principles of education you have learned in the United States to your home duties cannot fail to secure to Cuba and your fellow countrymen a brilliant and successful future. Again, ladies and gentlemen, I beg to assure you that I take extreme pleasure in welcoming you to the City of New York and in tendering you its freedom." Luncheon was served at 2 o'clock. This afternoon will be devoted to a car window inspection of lower New York, via Broadway, and early to morrow morning the transports will sail out of the harbor for Philadelphia.

A Dios, Senoritas. FOR THE SICK BABIES. Nassau Country Club Folk Working for a Contagious Ward at the Sea Cliff Hospital. The project to build a contagious ward at the Babies' Hospital nt Sea Cliff is a worthy movement that has attracted much attention among the charitably inclined society folk of that section of Long Island, and the amount already collected and in sight for the good cause is quite considerable, there being promises that the necessary fund will before long be garnered through those channels that the projectors of the scheme are making. The intended additional ward is one that has been needed almost sine the hospital itself was first established.

At present, when a little patient applying at the Institution is found to be burdened with a contagious disease it has to be refused admission to protect the other inmates. For want of another isolated means of carriage the baby thus turned away has to be taken back whence it came in a baggage car, and this plan Is one that Is not well received by the residents along that part of the Long Island Railroad by any means, it being feared that any baby carriage or other stuff in the same car may be Infected. Thus the project is, in addition to being a sweet charity, a defensive move by the mothers and fathers of that part of the country, although it may fairly be said iu behalf of the originators of the movement that they were actuated by the former motive alone at first. In working for the cause the Nassau Country Club folk have taken the initiative and most prominent part and great credit is due in this direction, to many of the members individually, and to the club as an organization. The regular weekly Wednesday evening entertainment has been given up this week and all forces there are working for the show to be given at the handsome club house on Saturday evening, when the farce, "A Regular Fix," and a minstrel show will be presented by a strong amateur cast.

Tickets for this entertainment have been placed at $1 and it is hoped that a full house will result. The fund has been given a royal good start by Mrs. George Pratt, who entertained a largo crowd at her residence last week at a blind auction. The articles on sale were all donated and each was covered and sold without the contents of the package being known. As might have been expected, there was lots of amusement among the bidders when the prizes were opened.

Incidentally the neat sum of $510 was realized for the new ward. TO INSPECT FBTTITS AND PLANTS. Washington. August 21 In response to a letter of inquiry from the Postmaster Gen eral.
