Nowadays she would not bo considered unusual, but the women of her period were not given to trading expeditions by water, managing mills and fighting lawsuits. Whother Esthor bad business talent or not she was certainly possesso of the orthodox woman's wit and developed tho diplomacy of matchmaking, said to ho inherent in all women. 'When the sloop sailed from Oyster liny she had with hor her son and unniarriod daughter Zerviah.

His own father showod more sense and judgment, for he deolared to tho students who were so anxious to aTonge his son's death that if his son had not been one of tho stndonts who were protesting he would not have boon hurt. The revolutionette ls'tho outgrowth of several grievances, which began with the arrest of the directors of a ball organized by a society of young artists called Los Qnat'z Arts. If this ball had been strictly a private affair no one would have interfered, but it was fonnd that over three thousand invitations had been given to outsiders and tho sonators, who latoly havo organized a league against immorality, thought it would be a good lesson to have tho young men at the head of that ball pay a fine and ho sentenced to a few days' imprisonment.

But what took place at that ball? Nothing but a procession of known models dressed in tho light draporios whioh wo aro habituated to see in the pictures of the salons and privato exhibitions. Tho famous Sarah Brown was dressod as ono of the figures, for which she posed in the groupings of Bochegrosse's "Babylon." Porhaps it is more wicked to look at thoso models in the ftosh, at least M. Beronger thought so, but all of the studonts. whethor of the Quartier Latin or of art studios, did not think so. and they nursed their wrath and kept it worm until another thing occurred which would give them an excuso to rovolt.

Tho death of Nugor put the occasion right into thoir hands and ever sinco they have been protesting, forming indignation meetings and getting wild with pretondod wrongs. Before July 1 they, in a body, marched to the Seino and there, with appropriate ceremony, threw Senator Berenger's effigy overboard and then sang, made spoechos and eked out thoir revenge in a lot of harmless performances. The police, the few who looked on, not only did not molest them, but seemed to enjoy the fun. Liberty of that kind, harmless liberty, has always boen allowed to the students, and when the play is over they quietly go back to their work. But the prefect de police, Lozo, did not see the manifestation in that harmless light and afterward gave orders to his men to arrest students who would in any way break tho peace.

It was after this ordor that the police interfered with a lot of students protesting in a brasserie and that one of them was said to havo thrown a match box lias been sufficient to disabuse tho minds of tho np ricau public of prejudices arising from uncertain and unreliable sources."

S'o Longer Ambitious to Re HIgUcst Kicker at ii Public Ball Salutary Effects of Bicycling Lavlsso Much Venerated Champion. fCorrespondonce of the Eagle. Pabis. July 11 Students' lite in Paris life is a tiling opart; it is something liko a clan surrounded by another which does not always look at it with a lenient eye. Especially by the bourgeoisie a student is looked upon as a sort of being neither boy nor man who at any time can commit the most extravagant follies, and when the polico interfere with thoir pranks, tbo bourgeois hesitates who to blame, for both are held in bad odor.

It is, however, generally speaking, now an unmerited antipathy which the bourgeois has for the student, fc it is obtained by an obnoxious reputation which only the student of former generations deserved. No class of men have changed for the hotter, perhaps, to greater ox tent than the student since the last war. Not many of them were old enough to have taken the fatal defeats much to heart at the time, but the blows have left a scar which has branded tho nation, and old and young feel the finger of fate pointins to the soar with tho admonition: "Sou vionstoi." For the last twenty years students have become so serious, have occupied their minds even in their leisure moments with questions so different from past generations of student life that men like Francois Coppeo tolls them they are too old in thought and deed, that in his time, a student's leisure was spont courting the jirls, going to public balls and rousing the peaceful citizens with midnight songs. Ho tells them to beware; that one must sow his wild oats at some time of life and it is better to sow them while one is young. Rut they have turned a deaf oar to what Francois Coppoe and those of his mind may say; and they have organized associations, in which scientific subjects and questions of progress are discussed; they have debating societies, in which they discuss politics as well as science and literature.

They invito men who have made a name in letf ore to address them, to tell them how they have succeeded in becoming fomous. Not long since Einile Zola was invited to deliver a discourse to them, and ho was much applauded, when throughout his speech he demonstrated that nothing could be attained without work hard work and continued work. He gave them examples of his own diligence, wiiich was not always at hand without spur; indeed, that ofton times it was gal! and bitterness to the mouth to Bit down at his desk and do his daily tasks, but th it fame lay more in conquering roluctance to work than iu gifts with which nature has endowed you. The whole tenor of his discourse lay in the oft repeated saying that work is half genius. JSmilo Zola is one of the head lights to which students look for encouragement and fraternity.

Maurice Barros, however, is nearer to them, for he is one of their generation. Present students remember him aa one who was in their ranks. The man is not far into the thirties, and his spite figure makes him look much younger. He has already reached fame with a number of books which are universally read, and is the youngest deputy of the chamber. In tho last hi was called to parley with govern ment in favor of his brother students, and he morally did much to pacify tho one and orco tho other to show indulgence His influence and arbitration show in what esteem present students hold work and its success.

But the man who has the most influence over students is Lavisse. Lavisse is one of those rare characters who think that filling the chair of a professor means something nmro than having stuaents rotam lessons. He believes that teacher must havo moral as woll as intellectual influence, and with that influenoo command re spect and love. Lavi3so is the students' champion. They look up to him because nil of hissen timonts are ennobling, elevating.

Never has his eloquent pen beer, at thesorvico of any cause but which could have been written in golden letters to be retained and practiced by students of all acres. He finds the means of talking polities without abasement to himself and to his pupils. It is the high order of patriotism which bring elevated theories into practice, which broathos the breath of Vuo Chauvinism in tho hearts of the men who will ono day hold tho fate of the nation in their hands. A few years ago the Fton.ro invitod scientific, political and literary men of Gorruany to give their, reasons whr Alsace and Lorraine should remain in German possession. There wero some very convincing articles written with the logic and depth which only Germans havo at their command.

The paper then asked Lavisse to answer them and this answor was a master work in its elevation cf ideas and patriotism. Lavisse did not stoop to vilify the con qnerers, nor question tho legitimacy of tho conquest, but he gave logical reasons, based on history ani Fronch patriotism, why the French should entertain tho hope that tho provinces should some day become Frenoh again. Lavisse since has been elected a member of tho immortal forty of the academy. It was a compliment paid to the world of French students, for Lavisno is their teacher, champion and friend. Boside tho serious change made in montal labor, another, porhaps equally as serious, has aided the development of the French student.

the last ten years physical exercise and training have become a favorite pastime. Gymnastic associations have been formed whicli embrace pupils and students of all ajo and prizes are offered to the strongest and tho most, expert. Polo, lawn tenuis, all out door games aro now practiced by men whoso ambition is to bo come young athletes rather than follow their predecessors' example, whose aim in life seemed to be how they could become the greatest fools and the highest kickers in public balls. Bicycling, too. seems to have revolutionized tho French world of the young.

To win a match, to race so many kilometers an hour, to rise at 5 in the morning and ride a few hour before the day's work is now the favorite pastime for boys. who. had they been students twenty five years ago, would have taken their exercise at Bnllier's in dancing until the woe hours of the morning. The nation is heing regenerated in tho students' regeneration, and now when you wish to fiud a student in lecture hours you must go to college and not to Mile. Meyer's, as one of Henri Heino'B caustic verses tells us to do.

But the above encomiums upon the student do not explain the present trouble tho police, government and Parisians are having with the students, do not throw light upon the present revo iutiouette. as tho Figaro chooses to call it. Well, there are exceptions to every corporation as well as to every rule, and when I say that students have reformed, I mean the majority of them, for, if you visit tho Latin quarters you will find public, balls, brasseries with women waiters, etudiants promenading with etudiantes in Luxembourg gardens, the same as in the days of Honri Murgor when he wrote his "Vie de Bohemc." Beside high authorities in tho police forco have ciado the mistake of giving orders that have been doomed too severe by citizens and students. An American, unless lie hits lived in France for yeern and speaks tho language roadily, cannot havo an idea of the enmity that exists and always lias existed betweon citizens mid tho police. In America a policeman is generally regarded as a man whose duty it is to maintain tho peace and that he maintains your peace as woll as that of your neighbor.

In Paris a guardien de la poix is looked upon as a spy put there by tho government, who, armed to tho teeth, is on tho 01030 watch to arrest you, not on the slightest, but on no provocation at all. Those poor cuardiens do la pail, who are simply trying to do their duty, are hated and execrated by the pop I ulace, students and citizens gonoral. and when one of them is unfortunate enough to allow himself to go an infinitesimal step beyond the bounds, tho dogs of war aro lot loose upon him and all hi" kind. The French cannot bear tbe idea of restraint and the police are the embodiment of No one would be surprisod, after tho revolutionette is over, to hear that it was not a policeman at all who threw the box of matches at young Nuger's head, which caused his death. Naturally, after that crime was imputed to the policemen, overything they were ordered to do was an exasperation and resented by the crowds who stood to soo tho sights, or who, for sheer deviltry, wished to take part in the mobbing.

If they cleared the crowds with swords in hand and loaded revolvers it was because they had beon commanded to do so, and a policeman is bound to obey his superior as a soldier his captain. When hot indignation is over it will be found that most all of the wounded were hurt by the pressure of Tgrowds with blows given iuadvertoutly by their party. It has been some time since the people have had an occasion to find fault with the police and the report of the murder of a student The Miller Ceased to Be an Important Person There. How Esther Townsend Was Disciplined by tho Quakers Holding a Higher Power Responsi ble for Her Full From Grace Some Quaint Old Records. A stranger approaching the village of Oyster Bay for the first time by tho lately oponod railroad could not appreciate tho changes wrought by shutting out tho tido water which formerly found its way into the very heart of this quaint hill bound settlement.

To day. instead of a wide water outlook from tho low windows of tho mill house, tho huge sandy embankment supporting tho Iron rails is the ono prominent and disagreeable feature. Back nnd forth tho noisy trains screech their approach and outgoing, carrying tho new element of a later and more progressive and aggressive generation. This innovation has done more to obliterate old landmark than any other of the last century's changes. The younger olemont of to day would find tho old town and family records of 1G00 and 1700 not only vastly instructive, but decidedly amusing.

Local his ESTHER TOWKSEXD'S HOUSE. tory iB, unfortunately, considered unimportant knowledge, but now and then some man or woman with antiquarian instincts unearths old documents, and comedy and tragedy are discovered. A miller of colonial times was a most important person, and until tho town of 0y3tor Bay doeded the mill property to Henry Townsend the farmers from the surrounding country wore obliged to carry thoir grain acro's the sound to have it ground at Stamford, in Connecticut. The mill history of Oyster Bay is interesting in tho i 3 THE OLI MILL KACE. fact that nnder the spooifiod conditions by which tho property was deeded to the first miller, thoso conditions having beon faithfully kept sinco 1061.

there is to day in possession a lineal descendant of the same namo. Wo do not realize how patient the men of those oarly times wore, nor tho privations and trials which were a part of each day's living, nor how those same struggles and the isolation of homes tended to foster the germs of eccentricities until the result was fanaticism. One of the odd facts A VIEW UP LAKES. history records is that the very evils which bred resentment and were defied by any means, wore often adopted by the mon who had boon sub jected to cruel and continual persecutions. In their own families they became despots, and of no mild type.

Notably was this so with the Quakers. Thov preached gentleness and foreiveness, denounced warfare, but were arbitrary and dictatorial. Thoy desired freedom to livo their lives accord ing to their own peculiar views and to. unquestioned, govern their young men and maiden s. often demanding that the natural impulses of thoir young hearts should bo stifled and lovo and marriage regulated only by parents and guar dians, and woe betide the son or daughter who loved and married out of the society.

In following the mill history interest centers in the houso known as "Esthor Townsond's new dwelling house'" and now occupied by her de scendants. Esther had a troubled life. "When she married Miller John Townsend sho was a widow and he a widower, yet thoy wore treated like children, their marriage was called "disorderly," their lovo making "wrong doing," they were expostulated with and Esther was "road out in mooting" nnd finally "out of meeting." Considering that she had mado a wise choice both as regards tho moral and material character of the miller, this unnatural "concern" of her kinsfolk and the society must havo seemod to these mature persons both childish and senseless. The record in Friends' annals is worth reproducing intact, as it gives a clear idea of the surveillance over mornbors of tho sect, and its phrasing is quaint and stilted: Hester Townsend, formerly Smith, justified her disorderly murriago to John Townsend. to ffrionds' grief, notwithstanding ffriends with bowols of compassion and great tendornesse to such as aro weak, do wait with hopo yt God will grant ner repentance as yt all tender may more clearly see." After the reading of this sentence committees were appointed to visit hor and bring hor to a sense of her condition and they report in this manner: "Hester Townsend charges her disorderly conduct on the Lord." This was Esther's naive sort of settlement of the question, making tho Lord responsible for the lovo affairs of these middle aged persons.

It proved however to be an unanswerable argument, for there wero no farther attempts to coerce a confession of wrong doing. It'is surely tho irony of history, that a descendant of Henry Townsend, the first miller, should receive from the sect his ancestor had boen imorisonedand persecuted for befriending, a most unfriendly opposition against loving and marrying a Friend. Millor John's sympathies wero more personal, but they were certainly liko his nneestors.friendly to the Friends. The prefix to bis namo was given both to designato his occupation and to distinguish him from other John Townsends. He was nn honored and respected citizen, and is cited as possess ing both tact and talent, and or called upon at every town meeting to perform some service for the public.

That ho w. able and hold the confidence of the people is evidenced in tho fact that he held ono office for nineteen years, vacating it only at death's mandate. He died several years before his wife, loaving Esther to manage the mill. Tho records give this brief and pithy description of her: "She was short and stout, and a woman of rcmorkablo energy and business talent." The same record states that soon after assuming the management of the mill, Esther Town send got into the hands of the law. and judgment went against her for 300.

Sam Lnng, a neighbor, got her to grind a quarter of wheat, and when it was made into flour nnd barreled. he refused to pay for it. Esthor thou caused the barrels to bo rolled out and exposed to tho woather. Lang accordingly prosecuted her and got damagos. His writ of execution gavo him power to sell everything, the record quaintly adds, beds and all.

After this disastrous law suit Esther, in order to recover from hor losses, chartorod a sloop for a trading voyage to Ocracoke, N. the principal cargo being cider. The village folk in derision called tho boat the "cider tub." This woman was in ad People of the Stage "Who Favor Long Island Resorts.

Philadelphia, on September IS, has received several letters from sian residents protesting against tho play as a libel upon their country, upon the theory that it is an adaptation of "Lq Czar Diane." wiiich the Paris authorities suppressed because it slandered the Jiu.

sinn government. Mr. Ellis interviewed tin; Russian Grand Duke Alexander on tho man of war 3 nii tri Donskoi, according to the Mirror, this is what the grand duke said: "i have talked, however, with a number of my countrymen upon the subject, and we feel pure the American government, which is one of our country's most friendly powers, ill no: permit Russia to be publicly insulted and even upon the stage of a theater. The bulk of reports about the severity of our oifioiais. he injustice of our tribunals and the brutality of our soldiers is iutolcrant slander.

I think our institutions will bear comparison with those of any country for justice. "That most reports aro absurdly untruthful is evidenced in the one fact that Siberia is generally state 1 to bo a barren wilderness of the most sterile nature. As matter of fact, it is one of the loveliest countries you ever saw. Just liko your country scones in this state, up the Hudson river and on Long i.nd Statt islands, where 1 have been. Russia sutlers under ninny slanderous churges iu unfriendly countries, but iu America, I thiuk, at any rnte, they will not be permitted to go unchallenged by tho authorities.

"Your stage does not, in our opinion, roach the high standard set by tho Russian theater: Therefore, libelous stage plays hero would not bo deemed of i.o much consequence by our people. Still, unchecked dramatic slanders aro apt. to impress tho idea that Russia is a nation of brutal barbarians. I trust that the boaring and demeanor of fliose of our countrymen who have visited here and of those who live in your midst "They stopped further on for Dr. Parish, who made himself both useful and agreeable on tho voyage." With qunint conciseness the announcement is then made.

"Ho captivated Zerviah and she married him." Dr. Parish was or had boen a surgeon in the royal navy anil, probably, in addition to a nautical knowledge, had tho usual fascination of naval officers. If Esther was not diplomat it was certainly clever planning to throw thoso 5'cung peoplo together under such helpful condi tions as a long cruise in a sail ing vessel. As Esther was said to have had remarkable business talent one cannot but wish tho financial result had been stated, as woll ns tho matrimonial. After this romantic episode in Zerviah's life ono reads with almost a protest tliat.

as she grew old, she became a roligious fanatic and ascetic onthusiast. Sho must also havo brooded over the injustice of tho lawsuit settlement and consequent privations, for gradually she foreswore comforts she might havo had, sleeping often on a sheepskin spread before tho firo or over the cords of her bedstead. An old family record tells the story of her fanaticism in tho following fashion: "My grandfather Samnol came out ono morning from that purt of his own land, found Zerviah sitting all forlorn, with her head bare and her long gray hair streaming to the wind, her shouldors covered with hair cloth nnd ashes sprinkled over that and on her head. My grandfather asked her what on earth Bho was doing there. Sho said: 'Mr.

Townsend. I am mourning for the sins of tho people. This is a day I havo set apart for wearing sackcloth and It was for this purpose sho made herself a religious gown of swingle tow. dressing flax and common wool, theso materials all considered ns refuse and only fit for carriage rovers. Whether it was for such demonstrations or for a more rational dovoutnoss, she was eulocizod ns a pious, godly woman.

At this time she was called Old Zerviah, nnd at this ngo began to prophecy. When tho British ships wore lying in Boston harbor sho said to a neighbor: "Tho Lord has assured me and spoke to me and advised me that tho troops iu Boston shall be withdrawn, likewise nil the mon of war, and America shall be the mother of nations and. feed them with broad." Notwithstanding hor eccentricities of dress ami manner, something of the charm which capti vated Dr. Parish mnst have remained with her. and dignity of manner, for the nnrrative statu: When a party of men from nn armed British vessel came and demanded food nnd the widow Parish saw that she must give thein something to eat.

she set bread and cbeeso before them; whereupon one of the men spoke roughly and was reproved by an officer, who said. "This woman is not so mean as her dress." alluding probably to her ponance garment, which would certainly be appropriate for her to wear then. In spito of her plain way1 of living she was said to be remarkable for her liberality to the poor, her painstaking to a regarded duty, the old chroni cle giving such evidence as this: "Old Zerviah used to go down to a ravino on Mill nock, with old Abby MoCouii, and bury bones cast up by the tide, probably the remains of Indians." The cmaintness and simplicity with which nil these details arc told is most interesting to thoso who liko to go backward for contrasts with the present, Tho strain of oddity in Zerviah's character was also a feature of her brother John. He. too.

was interesting. The record says "ho was queer and became pour," as if one was the result of the other. As evidence of aueernsss. Ue was said to havo dragged a whole treo to the house, placing ono end in tho lire while tho other was sticking out of doors. This savors too much of a Munchausen story, or else the scribe was a joker, for such a method of handling firewood could be neither safo or practicable.

His wife taught school and.ns was the custom of tbo day, was callod Madame by the children. Boys of years of age she considered too yonng to pore over, to them, unin telligible books, and they wero allowed to tilay with her own little lad in tho duck pond nenr tho house. She must havo been tho head of tho household, for she was Raid to have carried on in a miserable way their poor farm. They were Phenomenally successful with poaches, which thoy would never soli, though they gavo some away, and John exchanged them for tea. small packets of this precious commodity being brought to him by tho children, it is not stated whether with tho consent of their parents or not.

Poor John was a rolling stone, for after having bought a placo in New Jersey, ho sold it and returnod to his early home, purchasing what the doed calls "a steep and sterile hill." It is anything but that to day. Thoso who know it as the summer home of that brilliant society woman, playwright and manager, Elizabeth Marbury, in its present sightly parklike appearance would not recognize it as the stoop and sterile hill of John Townsend's ancient possession. Furthor on. to the mill, while human life and material things have changed by gradual processes, there aro charming bits of the landscape unchanged. Tho town of Oystor Bay is richer in scenery than many of tbo neighboring villages.

Its magnificent water views aro flanked by a half circlo of hills of superb proportions, tho landscape diversified by undulations and promontories. Its'wide. quiet streets aro shaded by a sturdy army of trees giants of their kind. In tho most unexpected places aro old orchards, in fruit time tho rich long grass underneath tho wide spreading tres holding tho great globes of amber, yellow and crimson until in their decay thoy replenish the soil. Just as ono turns from a prosperous business street to find tho railway station there are landmarks of oldon times not yet obliterated, tho main street has a gentle slope, nnd its two artistic churchos near tho top are in tho friendly attitude of facing each other nnd neighborly proximity.

The older church. Episcopal, has a tablet on a corner fronting the Btreet; botwoen the dates its sign of faith, a cross; the churchyard cemetery, a counterpart of many across the sound, proclaims its age by the moss covered stones, which tell their story in that strango old fashion of visiting card stylo, "Hero lies Mrs. Sarah, tho wife of Mr. John'' a ceremonious formality with death. Tho stone ornamentation is curious and odd, reminding one of Eastern symbols and zodiac signs.

A favorite drivo is always, down this church street, to the old mill site, ior tno waierway used ny the present mill is just above tho cove, nnd its outlook is a beautiful panorama. All tho residences hero are picturesque and interesting from past and present history, and it is small wonder that a railroad became a necessity to bring hither more quickly the now life roplacing the old. TWO THEATER PARTIES, One Went to F.Sdor. ido and the Other Visited a Itoof harden, A midsummer theater party is not a prevalent form of amusement, yet two of them occurred last week. On, Monday evening a merry partv of young people from the Park slope boardod the boat which loaves Jewell's wharf at 7:30 and woro carried to Eldorado.

Crane hns words of compliment for the woman of the stage. Ho declares her a type of the self reliant woman. "Sho learned at nr. early hour to stand the buffets nf the world and to take care of herself. She depends upon nobody md makes journeys that would frighten her nop professional sister to death.

She works hard ami the inconveniences of life do uot bother her. With ail of her independence, however, sha never loses her womanliness, and domestic duties to her would be a. pleasure had she tho time to perform them. Necessarily she must be of a saving disposition, for there is the long summer vacation when there is nothing coming in and everything going out, and not infrequently she has to support a mother or younger sisters, nnd she does it nobly. Willi other women it is different.

Ind peiidcuce with them brings with it a fear of domestic duties. They like to be free, and to feel that they may spend heir time and money as thoy choose. They like to have their own way in everything, an 1 as ihey get it thoy. imagine thoy are happy. But they are not." IV GRAND AU.UY CIRCLES.

Veterans A wasting ffte sult of Alleged Fr. itids. On Wednesday evening a nnmiicr of tho mora bers of Strong post No. were tho guests of Gilscy post No. of New York.

Among thoso who went across the river were Commander Frank Houalitnliug, Quartermaster Sherwood, Past Commander ruii nd. i who has been dubbed Itip Van Winkle by a f.icetious comrade: James Finch. Cunira ie Grand; the twins, Georgo S. Jackson and A. S.

Among the sp akers from this side of the rivor were Commander Honghtaline nnd the qtiartormnster. while another comrade described tho relations he said existed between the Brooklyn commaiiiler and the late Christopher Columbus of blessed mm. nry. It was well into the small hours when tho Brooklyn rii' wended their war to tho big bridge, and more than one member complained of headache tin next day. G.jnrgn H.

Jackson says these headaches were tin? result of smoking too many cigars, and he ought to know, for ha was through the campaign. Several of tho guests were detected swallowing surreptitious draughts of bronio caffeine during the next twenty four hours, to offset the igars. they said.

The introduction of gas ani electric lights on the carriageways and the walks of Prospect park are blessings which those who are inclined to on. ltlier utter nightfall keenly appreciate.

A. ago, when darkin ss set in it was absolutely terous to pass through the park roads, and da it wss only by the cxtreniest care that collisions were avoided. As it was even horses and vehicles coming in contact or in exceedingly dangerous proximity wen inn infrequent. There wero no lights or few. and these hidden in many instances by the foliage of the larger trees those which arched the roads that to attempt to pass over the roads when the night was earless ant! moonless at other pneo than a walk was to challenge Tho carriageways arc now quite safo Int any hour after sunset.

Gasoline lights line thetn at the distance of about 100 feet apart and occasionally the more powerful glimmer of tho electric lamp adds the brightness of the way. The electric light is mainly confined to the walks, where, under bridges articu larly, it serves an excellent purpose. It helps the police of the park in preventing undue gatherings and makes safer from attack from lawless adventurers the pedestrians of both sexes, who take pleasure In strolling ov. tho pleasure grounds after sunset, in the cool of the evening. Last summer these public grounds were not near so secure from dangerous interruptions as they now are.

notwithstanding tho commeud. ahlc vigilance of the police. Tn enter them beyond tile gloaming. in parties strong enough to prutect themselves there was danger of coming into the presence of undesirable personshoodlums and tramps. All tliis is done away with, this season.

'Flic park is woll lighted and thoroughly policed, and danger from assault of pedestrians on the walks or of collision on the carriage ways very greatly reduced. The police force is now strortg'in number and thoroushly organized and tho night lights axe all sufficient for safety. at tho head of the unfortunate student. Nuirer. The riot has been quelled, but the students will remain in a latent state of revolt until Lozo will be turned out of office.

It must not bo imagined for an instant that tho students are guilty of having made barricades, burned down kiosks, broke omnibuses to splinters and maltreated people and tho police. They immediately protested in all tho papers, and they were the first to uso thoir influence in preventing any mobbing, rioting and killing. They were determined to accompany the remains of their comrade to the station, on its way to Clermont Fersand, and they are doterminod to have Loze punished, but they have no dosire to produce any kind of a rovolution. not even a revolutionette. Unfortunately, there is a class of idlers, socialists, discontented laborers, the scum of humanity post abounding in all largo cities, who are on tho qui vive to seize every opportunity to smash, to burn and to kill.

As soon as the students made Ay show of resistance to the government, an aSny of that scum marched from the eccentric quarters, and it is they who upset things generally in hopes of organizing a secona commune. Ihey have once more been frustrated; all is peace and quiet again. For how long? The God 'of nations only knows. Newspapers who oppose tho present government say that for tho first time this republic has had its journecs, and now to beware; that jour nees have always been a bad sign and were tho precursors of a radical change in government.

AT ATLANTIC GARDES. Annual Outing of the Peter Qulnn Association. Ostensibly to escape the heat, but in reality to manufacture more humidity, tho Peter Quinn association repaired to Atlantic garden, Kalph avenue and Prospoct place, Tuesday, the excuse being their annual outing. The crowd that con verged to the sport shortly after noon silently attested the popularity of the organization. The dancing pavalion was never deserted even between dances.

The swings, electrical machinos and prize lotteries wero all well patronized and they did a rushing business. The amber fluid of Gambrinus was popular as a drink and it was con umed in quantity.
