WANTS SHEEHAN 10 LEAD. next, and there is some talk of making them work until 5 o'clock. It is now very likely that there will be no change in tho position of chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks until the expiration of Commodore Matthews' term of office, which occurs in April next. At that time Admiral Matthews will in all probability be assigned to board duty or else placed on waiting orders until he retires in October, 1S98. Had Admiral Matthews desired he could have had the command of the squadron, but unless he goes to sea this fall it is not at all likely that he will ever fly his admiral's flag.

The department's policy is opposed to giving an admiral command of a squadron for so short a time as six months. Although there will not be a vacancy in the position of chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks for almost a year there are still a number of candidates in the field. Commander Dickens is apparently in the lead, with Commodore Kautz following. Little has been heard from Civil Engineer Asserson, and it looks as though he had given up the fight. A.

To rhe Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: There have been several Inquiries In your paper of late as to why ic Is that a certain small number of Republicans can, so far In advance of the caucuses, primaries and conventions, with certainty partition among themselves the great lucrative offices that are to be given by the people this coming fall. It is asked how they know that the people of the various districts will favor them, men who have no claim upon the partiality of the public for anything thac they have ever done or for what they really are in private worth.

The answer is plain. These four men whose names wo see so orten In the papers have organized the party politics and its ramifications are to them so well known, that they count upon support with the certainty that a merchant can foot up his ledger assets. These politicians, like all other men and like those who criticise them, have only in view their own interests and no regard for public fitness. The public Is a goose to be plucked. Only a few control the district primaries and not one per' cent, of that few vote disinterestedly.

There is no remedy for this state of things until the whole body of citizens go into the caucus and primary. They, knowing they cannot all hold office will have patriotism enough to vote for the public good. When that time shall come not every Tom, Dick or Harry can have a fortune for the mere asking. Such a thing may happen this coming Call. Then Barrow and Willis, Atterbury and Sutton will wonder at their own presumption.

They are good enough as citizens and men, but their public services having been rewarded to the full by their salaries, now bear no proportion to the prospective nuggets chey are with such cool assurance panning out to one another. The office of registrar is the bonanza prize. For that and other high offices I take the liberty of nominating somebody who has done the state some service. Colonel Lewis R. Stegeman for registrar.

General Avery for sheriff, Major Walter Thorn for county clerk, and so on. There are many other worthy soldiers who have but little chance left and who 'will soon pass out of our sight. These men above named are worthy citizens and by the record have demonstrated their heroism and disinterested public spirit by shedding their blood on the battle fields of the country. Why can't our electors discriminate? We will come to this when we wake up. The Klondyke is no where in placer mines compared to our present politics.

Useless boobies can now without an effort be thrust into high honors and emol uments. The time is rapidly approaching when it will take character and attainment to please the electors. The Republican party has always ridiculed the Democratic party for being bossed. Now it appears that four men do what they please with all the Republicans in Kings County. Verily we have degenerated if this is so.

Let us bestir ourselves and disprove it. JOHN BUCHANAN. Brooklyn, August 13, 1897. ARRIVALS AT THE BEACHES. Yesterdays arrivals at the Manhattan and Oriental hotels were Oriental Mr.

HAYES, Chairman. Patrolmen James McGovorn and Peter Cain, Committee of Arrangements. The Scientists' Association Disapproves of His Speech on Governor Black. The Scientists' Association in closing its convention at Detroit. last night, paid attention to William B.

Hale of this city, who made an address attacking Governor Black. Dr. Hale was Indignant when an amendment to the constitution proposing that all business should first pass through the council was offered. Professor Carbart of the University of Michigan intimated that the association was no debating society. Professor Morse characterized Mr.

Hale's speech as "tommy rot." and used the word crank in the course of his remarks. Mr. Hale attempted to reply, but Professor Morse continued his speaking. Mr. Haie asked Tor a rising vote on the amendments, which resulted in 7 in his favor to 125 against him.

The election of officers was as Tollows: Frederick W. Putnam of Harvard, president; L. O. Howard of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, permanent secretary; D. S.

Kellogg, Ohio State Univorcitly. Columbus, general secretary, and Frederick Bedell. Cornell University, secretary of the council. WICKED CONEY ISLAND. Mr.

Buchanan Finds Much That Is Ob jectionable. To the Editor of the Brooklvn Eagle: Coney Island Is a disgrace to this nation. Why should this once fair and salubrious shore have been allowed to grow into a moral plague spot? By what perversity of men's minds may the vile and vulgar publicly assert their depravity under the preten.se of personal liberty? And Brooklyn, ot which the writer has been a life long resident, with Its bragadocio about being a city of homes, not only permits tawdry scenes by the glare ot day and the electric lamp of night, the rule of loafers, vagabonds, thieves and the weak women who have fallen under their baneful power, but permits the contamination of our young people who are attracted thither. And the Sabbath, too; may God stay His vengeance! Nowhere on this continent is the Lord's day sc turned into a Babylon of wickedness as in this cool corner on the sea, which Is under the corporate authority of this City of Churches. Is there no law, or have we elected executives who have not the stamina to grasp the first principles of municipal government; or to personally originate a single Idea or impulse over their subordinates? We have plenty of statutes, ordinances and of costly force, but the vicious have ridden us down.

The offenses In Coney Island have hardly risen to the dignity of the district attorney's office. They aro for the lower courts. He hints at calling the attention of the grand jury to the local police. If they are delinquent so are their superiors; why not strike higher? What is the Socletv for the Enforcement of Law afraid of? But to be direct, the writer went through and through the Island on Sunday afternoon; what he saw there it. the glare of day was sad and shocking to any average American and Implied a depth of abandon that the vail ot night closed over.

Not only were the trades and occupations of every kind as freely plied as on any other day of the week, in express violation of sections 259 and 263 of the penal code, but section 265, which prohibits all shooting, hunting, fishing, playing, horse racing, gaming or other public sport, exercises or shows, and all nolie disturbing the peace of the day, was also violated. Section 277 prohibits on Sunday the performance of any tragedy, comedy, opera, ballet, farce, negro minstrelsy, negro or other dancing, wrestling, boxing with or without gloves, circus, jugglers, acrobats or rope dancers, and tho landlords thereof permitting them are subject to a penalty of $500 and the forfeiture or their licenses. Ail these violations have been every Sunday in full blast. But avoiding the charge of Puritanism; admitting that the outpouring myriads of the metropolis need indulgence in games and sports on the Sabbath day; admitting that we have made laws that we cannot enforce; that the quiet and orderly enjoyment of the sea breezes, baths and strolls upon the strand must be vitiated and degraded on the Sabbath day; admitting that there is a spot in America that must be made a moral cesspool to drain off more favored places, we yet must protest against all this reacting upon the moral health ot the entire communltv. Fifty per cent, of the evils of Conev Tslan.l could be obviated in a moment by wiping out oniy tne concert and dance saloons.

All public vice there seems to center around the one of female degradation; and the bust paying uives are moso wnoso brute proprietors can succeed in getting the greatest number of poor, weak, painted creatures to go upon the stage and by their shameless antics contribute to the cheap amusement of half drunken, semi loafers from 18 to CO. The more comely a voung girl is, who has neither home nor parents worth the name, the better salary she obtains, which In no case, however, equals that of our honest kitchon or shop girls. But the most of these stage ornaments are sickly looking creatures, with cheek bones painted, eyebrows and lashes penciled, who have not the strength to do a day's work and who look as though they were ready to sink to the floor in the hot atmosphere, stifling with tobacco smoke and beer breaths. One cannot avoid the feeling that the desperate short haired, race track bosses of these girls who would so outrage public decency for a little money rather than do honest labor deserve more punishment than the midnight burglar, if not, indeed, tho cat o' nlno tails on a Delaware pillory. The natural diversions of Coney Island and the cheap railroad fares thither have prevented thousands of untimely deaths, crimes and siucides; It Is a pity that a few depraved villains for the love of money should be allowed to porvert it all.

What the night brought in those dark lanes and mysterious dens that were defended by brutality and violence men who know human nature may answer. Not only are the present performers now lost to honor God pity them, they are more sinned against than sinning but their baneful Influence spreads to all young visitors, destroying natural modesty and beckoning on to the tawdry light that consumes. The City of Brooklyn and its chief executives shall make an accounting in some way. Let beer flow, pianos bung, horns blare and vagabond niggers kick up their heels and screech their coarse mummory for the delectation of depraved white people, but let all female performing be immediately prohibited; let all Sunday dancing be stopped at once. But there Is another phase of evil at Conev Island that is mischievous though more insidious because not as tawdry and vulgar.

It is in the scant bathing suits of the men who take an uncrlminal but no less blackeuard pleasure in wallowing two thirds undressed in tne sand. The contagion of this is rapidly increasing until beach bathing In the most respectable places down there Is shocking to the first visitors from our continent and from abroad. The tlghtknit short trunk should immediately be abolished by ordinance or statute and a suit for men more in the fashion of woman's costume. It may be that to the pure all tilings aro pure, but notwithstanding this insipid chestnut, ail civilized society has drawn a lino at fully clothing the human form. This loose bathing freedom furnishes a short step from the decencies of society to the sway of the demi monde and their masters, who can there mingle without restraint among re speetnble people.

An ordinance should Immediately bo passed by the Common Council disallowing bathing of the two sexes within the same lnclosure or prescribing a new bathing costume for men. JOHN BUCHANAN. Brooklyn August 13, 1S97. WHAT JENNY LIND DID FOR AMERICA. Jenny Llnd's sojourn in America was fruitful In many ways.

Her progress left a chain of charities throufih the land by which orphans and sick are stil nurtured and healed. The rapture of her music created a criterion by which the success of every other artist has been measured from that day to this. Tne tradition of her pure and noble womanhood has remained to music a bulwark against which the scandal and corruption of the operatic and musical world hits broken in vain. In the memory of every human being who heard her her singing has rung to the hour of death as the one perfect and sublime revelation of the beauty and ecstasy of music itself. This is much.

But America owes Jenny Llnd one other and greater debt that has never been recognized, which it Is the purpose of this article to consider. She brought the musical temperament of America to consciousness of itself. Her tour was the supreme moment in our national history when young America, ardent, enthusiastic, impressible, hfard and knew its own capacity for musical feeling forever. From that hour It nas received or denied the world'B great artists who have made pllgrlmago hither, supreme In its own consciousness of its artistic needs and temperament. Fanny Morris Smith in the August Century.

Tired, Languid, Dizzy Unable, To Do Much Work, but Nov Feeling Better A Great Blood Purifier and Building Up Medicine. "For the past three years I have been in vory poor health. I had a tired, languid and dizzy feeling and was unable to do any work to speak of. I tried many medicines without benefit and then thought I would take a bottle of Hood's yarsapurilla. I soon began to feel better and after taking several bottles I waB entirely relieved." Solomon Locib, Frankfort, New York.

"I was all run down and verv much reduced in weight. A friend advised mo to take a bottle of Hood's Snrsaparilla and I did BO, and continued its use until I was completely relieved. My weight has increased 30 pounds." JIrh. 3Iary Dess, 22 Hawley St. Oswego, N.T Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the best in fact tho Ono True Blood Purifier.

Benjamin Hartford presided and called the two hundred delegates to order. Prior to the convention th primary for selection of delegates was held. and like most primaries ot the Socialists, there was but little opposition for delegates. Charles II. Matchett, who was the Socialistic candidate for President during the last campaign, has advocated the starting of opposition roads and gas works in preference to the greater city buying out the corporation at prices to be made by the latter.

Matchett, at a special meeting which was held recently, at the home of a well known Socialist, protested against a clause in the plank accepted by the party, hlch read that the city should acquire all railroads and the plants of all gas companies. Matchett argued that it was advisable to have inserted in the plank the means by which the plants of the corporations should be acquired, and offered an amendment that the supremo court should have the power to state in what manner the plants could come under the control by the officials of the Greater New York. The idea of Mat chett's met with much support last night, and after a long discussion a majority of the delegates agreed that the courts should decide in what manner tho corporations' plants should be purchased. When Chairman Hartford called the convention to order he introduced Henry Kuhn, secretary of the state organization, who made a few remarks. Conrad Fibiger.

who was one of the organizers of the party in the Eastern District, also made a speech, after which nominations wore in order. Leo Schmidt was nominated and met but little opposition. Mr. Schmidt will be the socialists' candidate for sheriff. Elvin L.

Brows will be the candidate for county treasurer, Thomas Forker for county clerk and Max Forbes for register. After the convention a plan was outlined fos carrying on the campaign in this county. A VERY MODERN LETTER Showing That Church Affairs May Handled in a Business Like Way. The official communication from Dr. Greer, declining the office of bishop coadjutor of Rhode Island, is, to our thinking, one of the most interesting, and, in a way, characteristic epistles of our times.

We believe that our readers, after the careful perusal of the document which we print, will agree with us in this estimate. The text of tho lettee is before us; it runs as follows: Stamford, July 3, 1897. The Kev. George L. Locke, D.

Chairman, Reverend and Dear Sir: In reply to your official notification of my election by the diocesan convention to the important office of bishop coadjutor of Rhode Island, I beg to say that after a full and careful consideration of the subject I am compelled, very reluctantly, to decline the invitation which has been extended to me. It is not without frreat uifliculty that I have reached this decision, and the difficulty has been enhanced. I have no hesitation In saying, by my strong personal affection for tho people iu Rhode Island. In attempting, however, to ascertain what I might to do, I fr lt that all personal considerations must be eliminated and put aside, and that I must look at the question ttiat had come to me simijiy as a question of duty, and that is what I have tried at least to do. But even then I found it a very perplexing question, with the conflict in it of duly against duty, drawing me first in one direction and then again in another, with strong and urgent reasons on both sides.

What those reasons are it is not necessary to state, but I will ask you to believe that It is only after a very careful, and I hope conscientious, weighing and balancing of them, with no other purpose than to know do my duty, that I have reached the above decision. And raving reached it, I feel that it Is my further duty to at once inform you of it. Br lieve me, very sincerely yours. DAVID H. GREER.

To the Rev. George L. Locke, D. chairman. Providence, R.

I. What strikes us so forcibly in this communication Is what we shall call its intensely modern spirit. A letter like this, on such a subject, would be almost unthinkable in any other age In the world's history. It does, indeed, allude to the "important" office to which the writer had been elected, but wore It not for this reference there Is nothing whatever In text or atmosphere to suggest a religious relationship. It Is the letter of a business man, of high character and motives, declining an important trust the presidency of a bank or a railroad or withdrawing from a senatoria! contest.

The situation is ono of loyalty to duty, and between conflicting duties the choice Is difficult, but is finally made after careful and conscientious thoiKht. And is not this enough? Certainly. And yet it is a novelty to deal with a bishopric as one might with the H. H. Claflin Company; not a word about prayer, or divine guidance, or a sacred responsibility.

To tho writer's mind, no doubt, such phrases would smack ol cant, and wero deliberately excluded. But it is all modern! So typical of tho busy city pastor, wearing a military mustache, and a sack suit, dropping in at the club, dictating his sermons to a stenographer (the letter before us Is typewritten); "running" twenty societies at once and making them all "pay" after their kind. Tempora Mutantur, and tho shcvel hat and benignant smils change with them! Church Economist. RATHER TOO EMOTIONAL. If the men who become the objects of hero worship could see the evidence of the feeling they inspire, they would possibly be even more reconciled to leaving this sphere for any other, better or worse.

Sometimes they do know, and then they need to exorcise abundant charity. An American who has lived much abroad says that he was present, on one occasion, when a countrywoman of his own met a famous poet. Shi saw the object of her Idolatry. She rushed forward and struck an attitude. "And is it possible." she cried, dramatically, "that I lock upon Browning?" One feels that Dr.

Johnson, iu the same circumstances, would have remarked, gruffly: "Don't be a fool, madam!" Again, there are times when pathos is showered only upon the dead. T. F. Silleck says that on one of his holiday excursions he visited Mount Vernon, and there, in the grounds, ho came upon a middle aged woman, kneeling before a building at some distance from tho monument. She wus bathed iu tears.

Mr. Silleck walked up to her, and asked if she wero iu trouble. "No. sir." said she. "Thank you very much.

I am not In trouble, but my patriotic feelings overcome me when I gaze upon the tomb ot the Father of His Country." "I quite understand." said Mr. Silleck, gently, "but, my dear madam, you have made a mistake. This Is not the tomb ot Washington. It is ovor yonder. This Is the icehouse." And drying her tears, the woman moved quietly away.

Youth'B Companion. Government Eeceipts Falling Behind the Expenditures by $500,000. SHRINKAGE IN GOLD RESERVE. The Situation Due to the Heavy Importations Made Prior to the Passage of the Dingle Bill A Reversal Expected in the Next Few Months. Civilian.

Steel Inspectors Saving Money for the Government. Bogle Bureau, I 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, D. August 14 Since the new tariff law has gone into effeot the government has been running behind about half a million of dollars a day. The Dlngley law has been in operation for twenty business days, during which time the cash in the treasury has dropped from $236,90,000 to $226,251,000, a falling off of more than $10,000,000.

This has not surprised the treasury officials, however, for they fully expected that the receipts would be considerably less than they were at this time last month, or during the month of August, 1896. For the past eight or ten days the receipts from customs, internal revenue and miscellaneous sources have averaged about $650,000 a day. The expenditures have Just about doubled this amount, being a little more than $1,000,000 a day. July 24, the day on which the new law went into effect, the customs receipts were $2,131, 000. On Monday, the 26th, the sale of large amounts of beer stamps increased the internal revenue returns so that the total receipts were almost $4,000,000.

Since that date the receipts have fallen steadily and they now barely get over the $500,000 mark. This reduction in the receipts, of course, has had Its effect on the gold reserve fund. This has shrunk about $2,500,000, having dropped from $143,500,000 on July 24 to $141,200,000 at the close of business at the Treasury Department yesterday. This is a very good figure, however, and Secretary Gage Is not at all disturbed over the slight reduction. Within the next few months the receipts will resume their normal standard and the returns will then reach a point that will more than overbalance the expenditures.

The long discussion of the tariff bill enabled the importers to anticipate the operations of the new measure by the Importation of a six months' supply of goods, which were brought in under the old rates. The Navy Department to day approved the permanent appointments of the fifteen civilian steel inspectors of the navy. These men were appointed six months ago for a probationary period of half a year, and as their time elapsed early this month and they have performed their duties satisfactorily, the department made their appointments permanent. It is safe to say that the government is getting better service from the fifteen civilians who are now Inspecting the steel intended for Uncle Sam than from any men who have attended to this work in the past. The new inspectors have detected quantities of poor material among the lots submitted by the contractors, and their rejections of bad plates have been sustained in every case.

As long as they are retained in their present places little fear need be had that the vessels of our navy will be equipped with poor steel. The credit for the selection of these new Inspectors and the establishment of the improved system ot steel inspection belongs largely to Naval Constructor Dashields. To this officer was given the important duty of preparing the examination to be passed by the applicants for appointment. Mr. Dashields personally conducted the test and it was on his recommendation that the fifteen men were selected.

How perfect was his Judgment may be seen from the fact that not one ot the original appointees has been found deficient. All of the inspectors are college men and are both civil and mechanical engineers of the highest stand ard. Even tne contractors agree that they thoroughly know their business and that the government is now sure of getting good steel. Although General Stewart L. Woodford has arrived in Europe the State Department is still conducting all its Spanish diplomatic matters through Minister Hannis Taylor.

Within the next couple of weeks the change at tne Spanish capital will have been made and before the 1st of September the Brooklyn man will be in charge of affairs at Madrid It is now probable that General Woodford's credentials will be presented to the court at San Sebastian about the 25th of this month. The new minister has hurried his trip some what on account of the assassination of Minister Oanovas. The ceremony of his installation into office will be brief. Minister Taylor win present General Woodfora credentials as United States minister to Spain and mediately afterward will band to the Queen's representatives his own letters of recall. The Navy Department has announced the fact that the new naval attache at the American lega tion at Madrid has assumed his duties, Lieutenant W.

H. Sims having been relieved. One of the navy officers who went to Europe on the Brooklyn to attend the recent Queen's Jutollee celebration lost a valuable souvenir medal on account of his sensitive conscience. A group of American naval men were being shown the sights of London by some of the British officials. While in one of the public DUiiaings the keeper of the privy purse Dre sented to each of the men a medal, which he had struck off as a souvenir for the occasion.

He gave one of the medals to each American wih his compliments. All the men, with the exception of one officer regarded the present as a personal one from the keeper ot the privy purse and not in any sense as coming from the Queen or from the British govern ment. They accordingly put the souvenir away with the rest of their mementoes of the trip and said nothing more about it. One young lieutenant, however, thought that he coma not consclentiouslv accent the ft ih. out first consulting the Navy Department.

un nis return home he submitted the matter to Secretary Long. The latter had the matter looked up and the 1udee advocate general has decided that the acceptance of the medal will be a violation of the law and mat a special act of Congress will have to be passed to enable the officer to retain It. The lieutenant is now regretting the fact that he did not do as the rest of his associates did pocket the medal and sav noth ing about It. Secretary Gage, with the aid of his as sistant, Mr. Vanderllp, is rapidly doing away with the old customs and traditions rf th Treasury Department which have for years past governea tne employment of clerks there.

The Chicago banker has brought the most decided business methods into this department and has overturned lots of rules and regulations ot years' standing which he considered detrimental to the workings of his big bureau. The clerks in this department were the other day somewhat shocked to learu that hereafter they will be expected to be at their desks promptly at 9 o'clock and to remain there, paying strict attention to work, until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. While the clerks have always been supposed to observe these hours, they rarely reported until several minutes after 9 and many of them used to leavo about 3:30, in order to get an early start for the base ball game. Secretary Gage has stationed watchmen at every exit from the building, with instructions to check off the time of the arrival and departure of every clerk. All tardy employes will hereafter be compelled to register their names on a list, together with the time of their arrival.

Those leaving before 4 will also be required to 3ign the roll, with the hour at which they left the office. While the department will not be able to dock the pay of the delinquent clerks the records thus obtained will be kept and will have a decided influence on the tenure of office of those concerned. Other new and heretofore unheard of regulations are also being enforced. The other day Assistant Secretary Vanderllp and the chief clerk were passing along one of the corridorB, and the Uormer happening to glance through one of the open doors, observed a clerk tipped back in a chair reading a newspaper. Within a few minutes the messenger of the assistant secretary appeared in that room and summoned the newspaper reader to the office of the assistant secretary.

There the offender was given a sharp lecture about his duties and was warned that if he could not keep busy from 9 until 4 he would have to give way for others, who would he glad to assume bis duties. The clerks are now wondering what will happen Croker Names Him as His Successor in the Wis wam. FEELS SURE OF VICTORY. "I Am Anxious io Have Mr. Sheen an Secure and Assume Control of Tammany" The ex Chieftain Has No Quarrel With the Man to "Whom He Surrenders Believes the People Are Sicli of Sham Reform.

The New York World to day printed a special cable dispatch embodying an interview with Richard Croker. now at Carlsbad. In part the World's special is as follows: Carlsbad, August 13 Said Richard Croker, in his room at the Hotel Bristol, to day: "There is one thing which I especially want to say through the New York World that concerns certain statements which have been made about my relations with Mr. Sbeehan. "I am anxious to have Mr.

Sheehan secure and assume control of Tammany. "This is an authorized interview and I want all my friends to take It as such. "In it I want to ask all my friends to stand by Mr. Sheehan as they would stand by me. "I believe Mr.

Sheehan to be an able man; I believe him to be a square man a man who will look out, first, for the interests of the City of Greater New York, and second, for the interests of the Tammany organization. "That is just what we all want. "No man who knows can want a man as leader who has not got the best interests of the city at heart, for the city's best interests are Tammany's best interests. "No man who knows can want a man to lead who has not got the best Interests of Tammany at heart, for Tammany's best interests are the city's best interests. "I want my friends to understand this: That there is no quarrel between Mr.

Sheehan and me. I would like my friends to stand by him now as they have stood by me in the past. "When I go to New York I shall go to help Mr. Sheehan. not to hinder him, in his efforts to gain the leadership, which newspapers who do not know sillily say he is trying to wrest from me.

"Whenever I hear that any one is working for Mr. Sheehan I am pleased. "I have not been dictating, am not dictating and don't propose to dictate the course of New York City politics from this side of the Atlantic. "This is the first utterance I have made since I came over of any importance whatever, and this is not dictation. "There are some few people who have confidence in my honest Judgment of men and I simply am anxious to have them know what my judgment of Mr.

Sheehan is. "A lot of newspapers in America are criticising me personally. I don't see why they should. I am over here drinking Sprudel water. I am not doing anything except drink Sprudel water.

I came to England this summer for tho same reason that I came last summer, for the purpose of advancing the American horse on the British turf. "I have no desire to control New York politics from this side of the Atlantic. "I gave up my place In Tammany because worn out by the detail of It. "I have no desire to take it up again. "When I am in England, as I said before, I am doing what I can to advance the American horse on the British turf.

"When I am in Austria I am drinking Sprudel water and trying to feel good. "I can't repeat too emphatically that I am not dictating the course of Tammany Hall. Those in charge are quite capable of doing it. "I have nothing to say about the mayoralty. Anything I might say would bo premature.

"I believe the people are sick of the so called reform administration and will elect a Democratic mayor in November. "Reform has proved too expensive and inefficient. "There Bhould be about as much sentiment about running a city as there is about running a dry goods store. "People will be happiest and willing to spend the most money in the dry goods store where they get good things cheapest. "People will be happiest and most willing to pay the taxes in a city where the municipal management gives them the best police protection, the best and cleanest pavements, the highest class of public improvements and the most just and decent general government for the least money.

"It is unnecessary for me to say that I believe the Democratic party, represented by Tammany, has done that in the past and that I know it will do it in the future." "Have you anything to say about Mr. Low, Mr. Croker?" "Only this: I do not know Mr. Low person ally, but I have learned and heard much about him, and I believe him to be a fine man." "THE POET LARIAT." Leslie's Weekly appreciates Bloodgood H. Cutter's recent poem on the Queen's jubilee and reprints most ol it from the Eagle, under ihe above title, and with the following comments: "Blood is thicker than water.

We have heard this remark before, but recurs to us as being specially apropos In this Victorian jubilee season, when the American poet lariat joins the poet laureate of Bri tain in singing a paen to the Queen, Bloodgood H. Cutter of Long Island, the renowned poet lariat of Mark Twain's 'Innocents Abroad," Is the board who haj thus challenged the redoubtable Alfred Austin. and, in our perhaps biased Judgment, beaten him on his own ground. He did it easily, too, judging from the report of the Brooklyn Eagle's commissioner, who found the Long Island farmer poet 'with his coat off, superintending the spreading of manure on hid recently cut wheat Mr. Cutter, when asked for a few suspended his agricultural labors, and, silting down on a cherry log in the farm yard, recited his poem on the Queen's Jubilee.

It Is too long to be reprinted here in extenso, but a few of its 'p'ints' will suffice to show why it proved an extinguisher to Austin, who has been silent ever since. These stanzas compel admiration, not alone for the limpid purity of their sentiment, but for the technical qualities of the verse itself. To match these, it would be necessary to go back to the thousand dollar prize 'epic' of the New York Herald's great literary competition, a year or two ago. The peroration of Mr. Cutter's poem is an impassioned outburst embodying the ientlmen: quoted at the head of these remarks.

It ought to set the two nations at peace forever, and make arbitration treaties a superfluity.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Statements appeared in the public prints on or about July 21, 1897, regarding a divorce suit brought by our sister, Frances Elmore, against her husband, Coleman H. Elmore, for a limited divorce by reason of cruel and inhuman treatment.

These statements represented Mr. Elmore as having made statements in affi davits reflecting on our pastor, the Rev. R. I. Gaines.

It was Intimated that our pastor had been a too frequent caller at the residence of Mrs. Elmore, who is a member of this church, of which the Rev. R. I. Gainos Is pastor.

At a meeting held on August 11 we thoroughly examined Into all of the circumstances surrounding the matter of the trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Elmore, the particulars which are well known to many members of this church, and the matter has been further Investigated by a committee and a joint body find that the statements made by Mr. Elmore of the officers of the church and they and published as aforesaid are wholly Our pastor, Mr. Gaines, has done no more than he was called upon to do in calling upon Mrs.

Elmore on rare occasions in his pastoral capacity. Mr. Elmore was invited to attend the meeting held at the residence of Deacon Nichols of this church July 27, 1807, to make any statements he cared to offer about the matter, and especially to state any facts he knew affecting our pastor. Mr. Elmore stated to Deacon Nichols in the presence of three other persons that he knew nothing affecting Mr.

Gaines' character. After fully Investigating all the circumstances of this case we have entirely exonerated our. pastor and can find nothing in anything that he has done in this or any other matter that is worthy of anything but the highest commendation. He has been with us now nearly eleven years and we have during all that time found him in every respect worthy of the high calling which he so nobly adorns. We hope that tho newspapers which have published tho insinuations and reflections on our pastor, Mr.

Gaines, will give equal publicity to this statement. Prepared by direction of the church board of trustees of the Bethany Baptist Church by JAMES E. HAMLIN, Secretary. Brooklyn, August 11, 1807. SUMMER RESORT NOTE r.
