Thon she goes to Borne othor spring, fills her glass aud, with it in hand, slowly walks and every now and then takes a swallow of the waters.

A quarter of an hour must intervene botween each glass, and a walk of half an hour be taken after the last. After that exercise she is more than ready for her breakfast At 11 she starts ont again to inhale tho waters. The inhaling and bathing establishments of the Konig Wilhelm, Felsenquellen, are the most perfect and the oneB most patronized by singers. They have both the Sehnigler and the Lowin systems for inhaling. After the inhalation she takes a bath, goes to walk until the 1 o'clock dinner, rests an hour or two, takes another walk, and again takes the cure in the afternoon, if her physician has so prescribed.

Quehl, the director of the Konig Wilhelm, Felsenquellen, had the kindness to take me all through the large establishment and give me some valuable information. Tho springs, contrary to what I supposed, do not belong to the State. They are the property of individuals or of companies. They naturally run the whole year; a great supply is kept on hand in large reservoirs and tho Burplus, after the filling of millions of bottles that are sont to all parts of the world, goes to waste. It is the surrounding hills which supply the springs; they flow from the solid rocks at about five feet from the ground surface.

They are all heavily charged with bicarbonateB of soda, magnesia, lime, lithia aud chloride of Bodium, and are highly recommended for all BpecieB of catarrh. It is very interesting to visit tho place where millions of troches are yearly manufactured. The steam pressure to extract the salts from the water is immense. After they have assumed a solid state they must be refined like tho finest of sugar or salt. A soft dough ia then made of them with sugar and mucilage.

The dough is rolled, stamped and cut, then kept for weeks in hot ovens. As many as 200,000 boxes of these troches are yearly sent to different countries. A large portion of that amount, M. Quchl tells me, iB sent to America, for catarrhs there are moat frequent. Emsia.

Bullet. WAR VETERANS HEET. lake, for those who do not oamp out, is the trip through the lakes on the little steamboats which vex their waters tho campers, however, finding greater pleasure, probably, in hunting and fishing. Wo left the little dock in front of our hotel one clear, bracing morning, when rain on previous days had cleared the air, freshened the foliage and brought a Fall like coolness to the atmosphere. Overcoats and blanket shawls were comfortable, though the sun shone brilliantly.

It was almost like one of our October days, and we could but think how gorgeously beautiful must be the landscape on a real October day, when the forcBts, covering the hills and mountains on every side, would be aglow with scarlet and yellow foliage. Our course lay through Blue Mountain Lake, which was gently rippled by a fair breeze, until we reached ita outlet. This was a moat picturesque spot The lake nafrowed down to a contracted stream which waa here spanned by a ruatio bridge built of unhewn logs, under which our boat passed, and soon glided into Eagle Lake. Thin waB much smaller than the lake wo had left, with banks generally wooded, but with quite a clearing or farm at one part, which is pointed out aa "Eagle Nest," the former home of Ned Bunt line. It looked pleasant, but the smoke curling up from tho chimney of the cottage looked lono aome, so far away from that from other habitations.

A narrow, winding stream, with low, marshy banks, connected Eagle Lake with Uto wauna Lake. Through this we passed into the latter, a larger and more interesting body of water than Eaglo Lake. Unbroken forest came to tho water's edge on all sides and not a clearing or sign of life met the eye. One could almoBt imagine seeing the deer coming from these woody depthB to drink. Then wo entered tho Marion River, but very Boon approached the dock, which onded the first portion of our trip.

Here, at Marion River Carry, we left the boat, and, over the carry, a charming walk of half a mile through the woods, pursued our way. At the end of the carry another small steamboat awaited us, and in it we entered on the most picturesque portion of our journey. For four miles the Marion River winds the crookedest stream I over saw twisting and turning so that one could almost shake hands across the intervening land were there another person there. The stream, liko the one already referred to, was very narrow, and had low banks, near which grew innumerable water lilies, beyond which were bushes and grasses extending Borne distance back to the woods. The passenger on the steamboat which was low down in the water could almost reach the lilies as ho passed, or touch tho banks on either side with outstretched handa.

Standing up and looking ahead the stream could be seen, more crooked than the letter the water shining in the sunlight or reflecting the shadows of the trees. A desolate region, however, it appeared, the desolation being more marked from the number of dead trees which lifted their leafless trunks in the air on either aide. It was said that at night the deor came down here to feed, but none were visible to ua in passing. In fact, we saw no signs of life, except a solitary fisherman, who had Bhoved his boat into an opening as we approached, or now and then a kingfisher skirting the water in hia eager dive for prey. We wishod the river had continued to twist and turn for many miles more, and too aoon we entered Raquette Lake, larger and in some respects moro beautiful than those through which we had passed.

It ia long and broad and bays extend its limits in each direction, so that it has a coast lino of ninety miles. Hero we again found civilization, hotels and campa and a pretty chapol, delighting us as we in turn approached them. As we steamed throngh the lake, from camps on the bank rowboata, shot out and intercepted us, transferring to our boat a passenger or taking a mail bag or express package on tho return. We finally landed at the end of the lake and walked over another carry to Forked Lake. This carry, liko that at Marion River, was through the woods, but the trees wore larger, the undergrowth less dense and trails led off into the woods from tho one we were following.

Wo fully appreciated all its romantic beauty and regretted that we had not a camera with ua that we might delight the friends at home with glimpses of its wild beauty. A short walk brought us to Forked Lako, where we dined on venison, which is constantly aupplied to the guests of the hotel. A walk again through the woods brought ub to our boat, and, retracing the journey of the morning.we arrived at our hotel at Bluo Mountain Lake about 7 o'clock, feeling that we had enjoyed a red letter day that would never bo effaced from our memory. Aa pleasant aa waa our jouruey through the lakes, it is still more enjoyable when taken in a rowboat, as it often is by parties who i ow themselves or who are accompanied by a guide. Such parties can at night camp on the shore or can so manage as each day to reach a hotel.

Noaiall amount' of pleasure, however, consists iu camping out, for, after a day spent in fishing, rowing or hunting, the roaring camp fire, the bed of balsam boughs and the wonderful tales related add the final charm to the experience of tho day. Lost the Game at Washington Park. St. Lonis Scores a Tictory After Three SuccensiYe Defeats The Giants Win Again How the Records Stand. A feature of the first three games of the series with St.

Louis this week was tho fine field support given the pitching by the Brooklyn team. In yesterday's contest, however, thoy went baok on themselves in this respect, and if it did not entirely cause the loss of tho game it certainly led to the comparatively large score against them, the errors of the game on the Brooklyn side being over a dozen, battery errorB included. In the second inning an error by Burdock gave McCarthy a life; thon a failure of Clarke to catch Lyons out on strikes let McCarthy get round to third, after he had very properly been given his second by Burdock's obstruction of the runner. White then hit to Burdock, who threw to put White out at first, but Orr threw home to catch McCarthy, and Clarke failed to touch tho runner, and he scored, while Whito was safe at first. Then Boyle hit to short field, and on the throw home to catch White there another chance waa missed, and bo two runs were scored without the aid of a single base hit and through fielding errors.

In the fourth inning Boyle opened with a base hit, was forced off by King, and then Herr hit a long fly ball to O'Brien and reached third safely, and he would have been kept there had not Pink uey and Caruthers both failed to field the ball O'Brien threw in to third, and on this double error Herr ran home. In the seventh inning Whnte opened with a fly ball to Burdock it was Burns ball, however and between him and Burns the ball was dropped, and they both stood looking at the ball while Whito stole by them to second base, the double error giving not only a life but an extra base. Boyle then hit safely and on a bad throw by Clarke he reached second. King then hit a high foul fly to Foutz and on the catch White stole homo. But for these errors the side would have been out without a ran.

On Herr's base hit Boyle scored afterward. In the eighth inning two single hits and a bad throw of Clarke's, followed by Caruthers' stopping a ball thrown in by Radford to Clarke to put out McCarthy, let in another run. So of the seven runs scored but one was earned off the pitching. On the other side Clarke's safe single in the eighth inning, followed by Burns' home run, earned two runs and saved a shut out for Brooklyn. Here is the score ST.

Umpire Goldsmith. Time of game 1 hour and 4o minutes. There was one decision rendered by Umpire Goldsmith which waa marked by an illegal interpretation of the rules, and that was in the case of Clarke's eatch of Boyle's high foul ball in the eighth inning, which was illegally decided as a strike from an alleged "obvious attempt to hit a foul ball." Section 3, of Rule 47, explicitly states that "the batsman is out if ho makes a foul hit and the ball be momentarily held by a fielder before it touches tho ground." This rule controls that which states Rule 31, Section 3 that "a strike is any obvious attempt to make a foul hit." In the first place the, foul hit made by Boyle was certainly not an obvious attempt to hit the ball foul, and, granted it was, tho catch of tho ball governed the play and not the Btrike. In the ease of the sharp fly tip mado by Burdock, which the umpire did not see, he rendering his decision, his changing it from one striko to a foul ball, on the testimony of a player, was equally illegal, as ho can only decide a question of the kind by what he himself Bees of the This decision did not affect the result at all, but the other might have done, as it led to two runs which would not otherwise have beon scored. In these four games the St.

Louis team, with the exception of O'Neil, played their game in the style of the roughest element of the fraternity. They played ball, but it was very dirty ball most of the time. But that is what the hoodlum element revel in.

The ever interesting scene of the exploits of tho renowned Rip Van Winkle has drawn more people than ever to its sacred precinots. Moro Brook lynitea have made tho Catakilla tfieir haven of reBt during the season just closing than eve before. The many and varied attractions whioh abound in this vicinity draw orowda from the heatod citios to its salnbrioua retreats. Hare may be found tho tempting trout brook so dear to the disoiples of Izaak Walton; tho high mountain peaks to accommodate those desirous of climbin to thoir summit; pleasant drives over hill and dale; groves of pine, cedar and fir wherein to awing a hammock and steal a while away, and later on the huntsman may chase the deer to his heart's content. Cairo and Palenville divide the houora from the Village of Catskill.

Eaoh place ia well patronized, and almost every house for miles around haB its share of guests from the cities. Pine Grove Farm House, situated three and one half mileB from the Village of Cairo, has been the favorite resort of many Brook lynites, who have made the place livelier than ever before. During the past week there have been three dancing parties at tho house; numerous games of quoits, in which Mr. Buchanan, Mr. James Richards, Mr.

G. Cole and Mr. Stephen E. Holmes were about equally matched, no material advantage having been gained by either, and the final result ia yet to be determined. In the croquet games MisB Lizzie Richards was more than a match for Mr.

Holmes. On Thursday evening last a reception was held at tho Farm House in honor of the twenty fourth anniversary of the wedding of the proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Rioharda. Mr.

W. G. Colo welcomed the couple in a neat aud very appropriate speeoh, which was feelingly responded to by Mr. Joseph Richards. Refreshments wore served and dancing indulged in until a late hour.

Every one had a good time, and upon retiring wishod the happy couple many returns of the season. Several of the guests promised also to be on hand on the next occasion, when Mr. and Mrs. Richarda will celebrate their silver wedding. Among those present were Mr.

and Mrs. Bogardus, Mr. William Richards.Miss Ollie Richards, Misa Eliza Richards, Mr. and Mrs. James Richards, Miss Lizzie Richards, Mr.

Stephen Holmes, Mr. William G. Cole, Mr. and Mrs. A.

Buchanan, Misa Elizabeth Becker, Mra. A. Sohroen, Mra. H. Walter, Mr.

and Mrs. William H. Sutton, Mr. and Mrs. Brownne, Mr.

and MrB. Witt, Mr. Bradley, Mrs. David D. Reeve, Mrs.

Spaulding, Mrs. Curtis, Mr. William Johnson. At the reception which waa hold on Tuesday last, Mr. Ed.

B. Cadley and Mra. E. H. Knowle8, her daughter Lulu and eon Harry were present.

Mrs. KnowleB favored the company with some choice classical music in which her voice was heard to great advantage. Mr. Harry Knowles played on the organ a variety of charming pieces. Mr.

Cadley sang "My Pretty Jano' very effectively and Miaa Becker entertained tho guests with several recitationa, including "Aaleep at the Switch," which was rendered in a manner to moisten many eyes in the assembly. Mra. Spaulding may be aaid to have been the life of the party, her flow of apirits being as oontagioua as an epidemic. Mias Lizzie Richards and Mra. Curtis contributed to the enjoyment of tho evening by repeated performances on the organ.

Cairo also had its sensation in the visit of Governor David B. Hill, who attonded tho Greene County Fair, which waa held in the villago of Cairo on Thursday laat. Hia presence drew a vory large crowd together; wagons of every description were pressed into service, and for miles around the people came streaming into Cairo to hoar the Governor's Bpeech aB well aa to visit the fair and ahake handa with many of their friends, with whom they had not met for a long time. The guests of Pine Grove Farm House were nearly all from Brooklyn, and Mr. Richards, who formerly resided there, did all he could, with the aid of his wife and daughter, to make their stay pleasant and agreeable.

W. H. 8. JUMPED OUT OF THE WITNESS CHAIR. Questions Which Angered the Proprietor of Orand Street House.

On Tiieaday Referee Walter Thorn resumed the taking of testimony as to whether James Downey, tho trainer of Gunshot, Cardinal Mc Closkey and other raoe horses at the Brighton Boach track, is really a resident of this State. It will be remembered that one Charles Tostevan so cured a warrant attachment against these horses, olaiming that Downey owed him money and that he. waa the owner of the horses but a non resident of Now York Btate. William H. Raynor conducted the examination for the plaintiff Tostevan, and Jerry A.

Wornborg represented tho defendant Downey. A. H. Battersby, who ia the treasurer of the Brighton Beaoh Racing Association, swears that he has known Downey for four or five years and knows him to be a resident of Graveaend. Downey is a trainer and enters horses in the races at the track, and, as Battersby asserts, is keeping house with his family on the Sheopshead Bay road.

There were othor witneaBea examined for and against Downey's residence, but the exciting feature of the day's proceedings was when Robert H. Sprigga was called to offer his testimony against Downey. Spriggs swears that he also is a horse ownor, that ho knows Downey and that ho has beon informed that some time ago thiB same Downey had stuffed his (Spriggs') horses with water and pulled them in the races, but he never oharged him with it, aa he could not prove it. Witness waa asked certain questions concerning the decency of hia place on Grand street, New York Oity. Ho rose from hia chair in great wrath and ahaking hia cane at hia questioner, Mr.

Wornberg, vowed that he would rot for forty yoara in Raymond street Jail before he would answer such fool questions, and started out of tho examination room. By the united persuasive efforts of the attorneys and the diro threat of the referee to order hia immediate arrest if he did not return and answer the proper questions, he came back and resumed the witness chair. He cooled off considerably, answered questions in referenco to the conduct of his hotel and his genoral reputation, but would not shake hands with Mr, Wern berg when he got through with the examination, aa that gentleman soothingly requested. The case is still on. IS THE HOUSE HAUNTED? A Family Flee From Their Home nt Midnight.

There ia in Parkville an old house whoae timbers onco formed part of tho notorious "House of Blazes," the scene of many murdera and affrays of lesser import on Thirtieth atreet, New York. When the Houae of Blazea was demolished, many years ago, its material was taken to the Flatlanda road and made into another house. The house was occupied for the past soven years by a John Moran, his wife and three children. During their tenancy there were queer rumors about the house, believed to bo mainly beoauBe of the memory of its timbers. About two weeks ago Mr.

Moran moved out and Mr. Reianer, hia wife and an 18 year old son moved in. Two nights after the son was awakened, and saw a ball of fire flying about the room. It vanished as it came, and he thought it was an optical deluaion. The next night he aaw a ring of fire and then grew frightened.

A few nighta after this he waa treated to a much more startling appearance. Shortly after retiring he was awakoned by the presence in the room of a man whom ho described as very dark in complexion and wearing a dark pea jacket as his principal article of clothing. ThiB figure danoed around the room and grinned and gloated over the terrified boy until the latter screamed out in terror and brought his mother into the room just in time to see the figuro vanish, as they both declare, into thin air. Next night Mra. Reisner saw the figure in her room, but Mr.

Reisner, who was with her, did not, and laughed at her fears. Saturday night he was convinced that there was something wrong, for oo approaching the house after dark ho saw a figuro dancing in front of him which vanished when ho hurried toward it, and rising, about midnight, ho waa struck across the face with a hand ao hard that the prints of four fingers were left there. This settled the question. The Reisners left the house incontinontly, carrying their clothes with them, and dressing in the open air. Theyrefiised to re enter the house and moved Monday.

Tho houBe iB now vacant, except as to balls of fire and mysterious figures which tho neighbors declare can be seen there nightly. No one has yet been brave enough to solve the mystery. DID HE THREATEN' TO SHOOT? A Car Conductor ittalccs a Serious Complaint. The Flatbush Town Hall was crowded last evening by persons who had assembled to witneBB tho trial of Joseph A. Del Gardo, of Vernon avenue, on a charge of threatening to shoot Timothy Collins, a conductor on the Flatbush avenuo horse car lino.

The case waB tried before Justico of tho Peace Hoiit Bornkainp. The cause of tho trouble between the conductor and Del Gardo, as was elicited at the trial last evening, grew out of a dispute on Collins' car over the latter charging fare for a child over three years of age. Some hot words were indulged in by both in which Collins told Del Gardo he had better mind his own business, and Del Gardo answered him by Baying he was no fit man to conduct a car. When Del Gardo went to tho stables to report CollinB the latter came in and some more words were passed and as Collins charges Del Gardo pulled a piBtolon him and said "I will murder you." The evidence was very conflicting, and as there was littlo probability of finishing the case the magistrate adjourned it until Thursday evening. HOTEL ARRIVALS.

The decoased was one of the oldest members of Minerva Lodge No. 792, Free and Accepted Masons, and of Woodbine Lodge No. 278, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The members of each lodge were well represented on Sunday afternoon at the funeral, which took place from the late residence of the deceased. The burial rituals of the F.

and A. M. and were impressively rendered at the cemetery in the presence of a large assemblage. They Win Six Races at Sheeps head Bay. The Talent at Sea A 50 to 1 Shot Wins and Dazes Old Turfmen Dark Horses at the Track.

The bookmakers and horses appear to be getting the bulk of the money at the Sheepa head Bay course. For two days the favorites have been defeated with great regularity. When tho races were over yesterday many betters decided to refrain from betting until a favorite or two should win. The attendance was not aa large as on Tuesday, possibly because the defeat of six favorites on that day emptied the pocketbooks of a large number of bettors. And yet there wero at least five thousand people present, a large proportion of whom did aa Mr.

Robert Fnrey did looked at tho races without betting a dollar. "It is a rank piece of foolishness to bet on every race," said Mr. Fnrey to a friend who thought he could pick six winners, sit through, an afternoon without betting on a race. Walt' until you see good horses running up to their racing form and then back them. Yon will win more money this way than in hunting for short horses.

I think you will see favorites winning before the week ia over." Mr. Furey is a veteran race goer and has learned to look at races without betting on every event, consequently at the end of a racing season he generally comes out ahead of the game. His example is worth following. The Dwyer Broth era did not havo good luck yesterday, but thoy bore their losses philosophically. They fancied Barrister and Eurua for tho place in their respective raceB.

but tho horses did we get there. "Davy" Johnson, the dashing young bookmaker, plunged on Eurus to win, when the odds were 3 to againBt that fast bnt roguish horso. "Pittsburg Phil" followed auit, afterward backed Gallif et for tho place, and lost both ways. Walter Cooper, a nervy bottor, backed Climax, the winner, and won $1,600, whereupon he scnBibly decided to make no more bets during the day. Alderman McCarty was not in form, and, discovering this fact early in the afternoon, did not bet heavily after.

Climax's victory in tho Omnium Handicap, with odds' of 12 to 1 against him, was a surprise to the majority of betters, but when the race was over it was generally agreed that he should not havo been overlooked. When Long Dance, 50 to 1 against, won the fifth race for 2 year olds, the talent, the knowing ones, were dazed. The bookmakers made almost a clean book on thia race, for but few men had tho nerve to back the winner. He is one of several Western "sleepers" now at the track: the tw year olds Glitter and Waif are expected by a select circle of turfmen to do the same as Long Dance did yesterday. Tho races wero run with tho following results; I.EO H.

Seventeenth Ward Democrats Mean Business. A Great Crowd Witness a Banner Bulging. Plenty of Fireworks and Campaign Oratory Galore. The Seventeenth Ward was in a blaze of enthusiasm last night, the occasion being a grand ratification meeting and banner raising of the Democratic Ward Association. Skyrockets and Roman candleB 'flashed in tho air and the boom of artillery saluted the ear.

Flags floated from many residences. It was just 7. 45 o'clock when the banner waa swung across the streets in front of the campaign headquarters, 09 Groenpoint avenue, while a band of music played the "Star Spangled Banner." The streets wore illuminated with fireworkB and it was impossible for pedestrians to move either way for the vast crowd. Such aaceno had not been witnessed in that section of the city for many years. The banner, which is of the usual pattern, contains the portraits of Cleveland and Thurman.

After it had been properly swung to the breeze the crowd entered Bartholdi Hall, a half a block away, whore they waited patiently for the speakers to appear. The hall was handsomely decorated with American flags and emblems, and long before the meeting was called to order was filled to its utmost capacity. It was a representative assemblage of the working elements of the ward. The Jefferson Club, a prominent Demooratio organization of the if ard, who served as a body guard to Grover Cleveland during Mb last campaign while he waB in Brooklyn, and tho Lindsay Battery, of the Sixteenth Ward, under command of Captain Adam Sohaad, paraded the streets, headod by bands of mUBio. Both batteries wore uniformed and presented a fine appearance.

It was cloae on to 0 o'clock when Supervisor Bernard Lamb, president of the Seventeenth Ward Demooratio Association, mounted the platform aud called the meeting to order. He said they had assembled for the raising of a banner and the ratification of the nominations of Grover Cleveland and Allen G. Thurman. Ho concluded by requesting the audience to nominate a permanent chairman. Ex Aaaemblyman Silverman nominated Thomas Meadon, chairman of the Campaign Committee.

Tho nomination was accepted and Mr. Meadon was escorted from the audience to tho platform amid a storm of applauae. He said: We are here to night to ratify tho nominations made by tho St. Lotus Democratic Convention Grover Cleveland for President and Allen G. Thurman for Vice President.

Cheers. We shall elect them both. More cheera. With such men viotory is assured, and for the next four years our Government will onoe more be guided by men we all know and can trust. The issues of this campaign I shall leave to be discuBsed by gentlemen more capable than I.

It iB the duty of all Democrats to stand by the old principles, and if they do we will then elect our candidates. Applause. On motion of Supervisor Lamb, Mr. Thomas Thornton aBBumed the duty of secretary. The following were elected vice presidents: Hon.

Thomas D. Jonea, Hugh P. Lavelle, Jeremiah Walsh, Hon. Moses Engle, Hon. John H.

Bonnington, Samuel S. Free, Henry Truble, James L. Drummond, B. L. Birdsall, William P.

Morrisaoy, William Elbert, John Bopp and Jacob Neu. Resolutions indorsing the Democratic platform and candidates were adopted. The chairman then introduced Mr. JameBRidg way, ex of the Legislature for Richmond County, and formerly Assistant 'United States District Attorney under Charles O'Conor. Mr.

Ridgway is also the unolo of District Attorney James W. Ridgway. He Baid Fellow Citizens and Fellow Democbatb We are called upon to night to ratify the nominations and the platform of tho Democratic Convention, which met at St. Louis on the 5th of June, and which represented the wholo country. That convention offered for your support no dark horse and no unknown man, but it selected as your standard bearers the beat known men throughout the vast limits of our great Union Grover Cleveland and Allen G.

Thurman. Applause. So well known are they both that no words of mine aTe needed by way of commendation. This, fellow citizens, is an important period in the history of the Democratic party, and I want to give you some of the reasons why it ought to succeed and will succoed in this campaign. Four more yeara have rolled around and have brought to the people of these United StateB the opportunity, the privilege and tho necessity of again choosing a chief magistrate in accordance with the forms prescribed by the Constitution Four years ago a party was power which had held the reins of the Federal Government ever since tho 4th of March, 1861.

Intronched in power it had used public office not aB a public trust, but as a private posBBSBion, and aignalized that possession of powor by wielding it corruptly and arrogantly iu the futtnerance of its own selfish purposes, and in defiance of every attempt of the people to hurl it from office. One of tho stock arguments of that party on which it had retained control so Domooratieparty could npt.be trnsjed by, the country, bnt that its return power must result in tho utter subversion slid overthrow of every industry throughout the length and breadth of the land. A majority of the eloctors were, however, of a different opinion, and returned Grover Cleveland, Presidentof these United States. Applause. Three years and more have elapsed since he entered upon tho duties of that high office, and you are now able to judge whether under his guidance tho Democratic party can be trusted and whetherite roturn to power has indeed brought that distroBB and ruin to our industries which was bo freely predicted.

On the contrary, the country is in a healthy and prosperous condition; our financial standing was never upon a better basis; our industries are flourishing and the rights of every one are protected and maintained. Even so small a thing as Guilford Miller's farm has not been forgotten. And for all these blessings the people rise up and say to Grover Cleveland: "Well done, good and faithful servant." But there remained one more thing for him to do, and that waB to rid the country of our so called Protective Tariff, which, however, does not protect, but strangles those whom it ought to protect, under whose needlesa burdens we have been staggering so many years, and which has at length developed into an uncontrollablo monster, more dreadful than tho famous Minotaur of old. and which threat to involve the republic in disaster and monetary downfall. Fully realizing the situation, and with the courage of his convictions, regardless of the risk of his political future, he boldly and fearlessly made the tariff the one great topic of hia message to Congress.

In order to impart to hia recommendations an irre Bistible force, and to insure success, like the athlete mentioned by St. Paul, he cast aside everything which might impede his course.and pressed mi toward the goal, determined to win the prize. He presented the wholo question iu such a vigorous and powerful manner, and ortifiod that presentation with such convincing argument8 that Congreaa and the people felt constrained to consider and diBcuas that momentous question. The duty of meeting it fairly and Bquarely and disposing of it in the interests of the country became imperative. It ia unquestionably the keystone of the arch upon which rests the material interests of the commonwealth, and without which the edifice must fall in ruins.

It was a subject which could no longer be overlooked or disregarded aa in the past, and the freat leader of the people vigorously held up ariff Reform as the one subject of paramount importance, upon which we are dependant for a continuance of our prosperity, and which muat be disposed of, not at some future time, but now. That ia the leading issue which must now and from this time onward engage tho attention of Congress, and upon which the coming Presidential campaign muBt be fought out. ApplauBO. It is true that a good many prominent Republicans, both in and out of Congress, directly after the delivery of the Message, either derided it or else said that it was just what they wanted a cudgel to lay upon the backs of the Democrats. Those who came to Bcoff remained to pray.

They have since grown wiser, aud now regard with alarm tho mistake they made, and realize how deeply the recommendations of the Message have sunk into the popular heart. They also realize that the Ajax of their party mado a suicidal mistake whou he cabled that famous dispatch. Don't you touch tho tariff." Wny should 10" people nay duty on an article when the profit is to go into the poekot of only one of them. The ninety nine ought to have tho privilege of buying their goods for less money, aud not be compelled to pay, as now, an enhanced price, merely that ono rioh man may become still richor. And yet this is what is called Protection, the protection of the wolf against the lamb.

The toiling masses are not slow to understand their true intereBta in this matter, and their voiceB will become potential in the next election. Applause. Supervisor at Large John A. Quintard, was introduced as tho next speaker. Among other things ho Baid: I am pleased to stand before such a vast assemblage as has gathered here to ighi.

When Harrison was nominated for the office of President of the United States he was nominated for the solo purpose of carrying Indiana. Now, I call upon every one of you who have followed tha paoors for the past few weeks to say if you can detect any intelligence and common sense in his speeches. If you can it is more than I can. I remember the time when he was uominated for President. When the committee went to inform him of his nomination they said they had all the enius of the world, comprising Mr.

Blaine, of laine, and a number of others. Yet they had thrown them aside and ivaminated Mr. Harrison for the office of President, and then belittled him before the eyes of the public The Demooratio pari'' has nominated for its President Grover Cle eland, who has risen from the low to tho highest position in tho United States, and who has rendered four years of faithful service to his party and country, and we intend to place him in tho Presidential chair four years more. Applause. At tho of Mr.

Ouintard's speech, the Jefferson and Lindsay bal'ries passed the hall amid great enthusiasm and fireworks, causing the audience to quickly vacate to witness the procession, and the meeting adjourned. A bountiful collation, which had been prepared by the Campaigu Committee aud served in the ro ms of the Demooratio Ward Association, was partaken of and congratulatory remarks were extended on the success of the party. It was expected that the Hon. Thomas Pcaraall, Judge Thomas Konna, Mr. P.

E. Callahan and ex Asseniblymau Robert E. Connelly would addresB the meeting, but they failed to put in an appearance. FltOHIUITIOSISTS MEAN BUSINESS. Tho Prohibitionists were tenting last night on a new camp ground on Gates avenue, just west of iteid.

In the center of the tent were seated a few ladies and numerous voters, while standing room ohly extended away out into the lots. The Twenty fifth Ward is deemed Bnch ertilo ground for raising Prohibition votes that the General Committee will send some of its beBt speakers there. Last'night Dr. I. K.

nrrpftt. Seventeenth Wnrrl. went nn an excursion Monday to 'Washington Park, on the Hndaon. The steamer Lonnox corjveyed the excursionists to the place named. The boat departed from the foot of strict at 0:30 o'clock, and proceeded as far aafPookskill, and then came back and landed at Washington Park, where three hours were aneni in the most de lightful manner.

At 4:30 tpS party were sum moned to tne steamer ana ine nomowara trip was token up. Delights of a Trip to the Adirondacks. What a BrooMynite Saw to Admire in the Bine Mountain, Eagle, Utowanna and Barrnette Lakes. With what a feeling of relief a tired man takes his aeat on the deck of the Albany boat, reflecting that he haa left behind him all business cares and perplexities and has before him the delights of a vacation in the mountains or at tho lakeB. He looks about him and probably finds an acquaintance; tho two draw thoir chairs together and, while the smoke of their cigars curls lazily upward, they enter on a quiet discussion of politics or indulge in philosophical argument.

Yon rarely see them get excited, for there is a spirit of calmness resting on the scene which affects their dis cussionB and modifies the sharpnesa of their disagreements. The sound of the big wheels rumbling in the water comes in to fill the pauseB with a kind of refrain. The feeling of absolute freedom from care iB bo grateful that all the beauties of the landscape, of the aky, of the atmosphere, are doubly appreciated, The foliage of the treea on the river's banks, in which are imbedded cottages and mansions, of which passing glimpses are obtained, never aeems moro beautiful, while the flying train, rushing along the edge of the stream, adds life to the scone, and, as the boat speeds on, tho Highlands loom up in all their grandeur, lighted up, perhaps, by the magnificent radiance of a full moon, tinging sides and sum mit with silver light and casting deep, dark shadows in the water at their base. There used to be a delicious odor of pines or balsams as tho boat passed between these mountains that was worth a journey to inhale, but it has been missing in recent years. I fear the woodchoppor has robbed the mountains of this charm.

It is well to take such a trip aa this and for men to have an opportunity to free themselves from their ordinary surroundings and broaden under tho influence of nature. Wlien in such a mood how mean and petty seem tho selfish strifes of the everyday life we have left behind; how easy to resolve that we will be generous and benevolent in tho future In some such mood we started, recently, to spend a short time in the Adirondacks, and perhapa some of tho readers of the agxe who could not accompany us in person may enjoy being with ua in imagination while we sketch our journey. The Adirondacka to many are still an unknown region; to me there was always a glamour of romance and a apice of adventuro in tho mere thought of their wildnesa, and my spirits always rise when en route to enjoy their beauties. What is the sea shore with ita hot sun beating on glaring sands to the clear air and cool shado of tho dense woods What is tho salt odor of the ocean to the delicate perfume of the balsam 1 0h.how the sweet, clear, pure mountain air fills the lungs and invigorates tho worn worker Hefeela like clapping his hands in childish joy and skipping through the forest liko the fawns he sometimes meets. Last Summer we enjoyed the charms of Lake Placid, but this year resolved to explore the other side of the mountains, making our headquarters at Blue Mountain Lake.

So, after leaving the boat and breakfasting in Albany, for which there is ample time, we took tho train for Saratoga; here we changed to the Adirondack Railroad. The traveler will be surprised, perhaps, to find this road, leading up toward the North Woods, so well equipped. Unusually fine cars, running over a good roadbed, quickly convey him through a picturesque country, along tho uppor waters of tho Hudson River, to North Creek, tho torminis of tho road. The traveler, if he enjoys the trip as much as tho writer, will be sorry when this point has been reached. We reached it in a pouring shower.

At the station stands a six horse Concord coach, all ready to start on its thirty mile run to Blue Mountain Lake. Ordinarily tho passengers make a wild rush from the train to the eoach to secure the coveted seatB on top, but this time thoy rushed to secure inside seats to escape tho rain. Ono lady and boy, however, envoloped in waterproofs, nothing daunted, mounted tho roof, and, as tho shower quickly passed, were rewarded by the best seats for the journey. Not caring to rido in tho rain, and the inside seats being filled, wo took a buckboard and had tho full enjoymont of the ride into the woods. No time was lost, and we were no sooner seated than tho driver cracked his whip and off wo wont at a glorious pace.

No crawling, jaded horses drew us, but we sped almost on a gallop over the smooth mountain road, now free from dust. Soon the aim came ont, and the air was so clear and fresh that we deemed ourselvos most fortnnate in having suoh a day for the ride. We soon reached North River, six or seven miles from North Creek, where dinner awaited us at a hotel facing the Hudson River, and only separated from it by the road, tho river hero being shallow, rippling over a stony bed. In the Springtime, or after heavy rains, the woodchop pers avail themselves of its waters to float their logs to market, but now none would float, the volumo of water being so small. We were surprised to find ao good a road and one with so few hard hills iu such a mountainous region.

Our horses carried ub at a splendid pace over thiB road a diBtance of twenty miles, mostly through a region donuded of wood, with occasional farms and cultivated fields, while we had glimpses of distant mountaina and passes. We theu changed horses, and the remaining ten miles of our rido was through the woods. At one point a narrow belt of tho woods had been recently swept by a cyclone which had uprooted many trees and with gigantic power had twisted off the tops of others, marking plainly its course. Blue Mountain Lake is the first of a aeries of lakes through which the tourist can pass either by steam or rowboat. It is beautifully located in a basin mostly surrounded by mountains, with Blue Mouutaiu, looming up about 2,000 feet above its level, at its eastern extremity.

At this point is an excellent hotel, newly erected, and perhaps half a mile distant is one still largor, lighted by electricity, both of them being connected by telegraph with the outor world. The shores of the lake are irregular, and numerous bays and green islands meet the eyes of the beholder, while saboats lazily glide over ita surface. Back of tho hotel the mountain rises, covered with trees. A bridle path, however, leada to ita summit, so the ascent can be made with reasonable effort. From the summit a grand view of tho surrounding country meets the eye twenty tw olakea being visible, and on every aide unbroken forest.

Near the hotel are rough log houses, picturesque in thoir roughnoss, where city folks spend their vacations. At a short distance, embowered in trees, ia a romantic looking church, built of logs aud facing the lake. Here, on Sun day morning, the musical bell calls to worship, and from hotol and oamps and cottages rowboata boar the people to the beach in front of the church One can imagine the time when thia region was all wilderness and when the Indian's canoe boro ita occupant across tho boaom of the lake in search of game or fish, or to the council fire on its bank. But here now ia proached the gospel of peace and no war whoop of Indian ia heard. Everything about this little forost chapel is in good taste and in keoping with its surrouud inors.

No effort at display haa been made, lhe exterior is of rough logs and the interior is finished with natural wood oiled or varnished. The service of tho Episcopal Church sounds no less grand when repeated in this wayside chapel than in the lofty cathedral of some European camtal, and its simple beauty seems all the greater from the simplicity of everything about. Strolling ono day along the road which naBSOB the littlo church, we reached a romantic spot, whre, on a little stream, we found, an unused saw mill, where wero pleasant Bhade and quiet repose, the falling water making gentle music while we lazilv read the books we had brought. A little further up the road we called at a cottage where two old ladies interested us with tales of tho country. Wo asked if it wero cold there in tho Winter, and they replied: "Not very;" but we found that 30 degrees below zero waa what they considered fair Winter weather.

In one corner of the sitting room were two boda, built in the houae, in backwoods fashion, one above the other, like the berths on a sleeping car, and each covered with patchwork quilt or covered spread. Still further on, at an elevation 140 feet above the lake, we camo to nether hotel, from which a splendid view of the lake and its outlet opened before us. Before we take a trip thiough'tho lakes, let us glance at the guests at our hotel The great event of the day is the arrival of the stage, which draws up at the hotel porch just as most of the guests have finishedsupper. They are gathered on the veranda and arriving guests have to run the gantlet of a hundred pairs of eyes and be subject to the comments of their owners. Here is an old gentleman, hale and hearty, enjoying his outing with his daughter as keenly as tho young people who march in company up and down the piazza Hero is a group of solid looking boarders, full of dignity and exclusive a littlo coterie of friends, wrapped up in themselves and caring little for any one else.

Hero is a young man, attentive to and absorbed in every word and action of his lady love. Here are the fond husband and tho petted wife, and here the husband bent on his own pleasure and caring little for the pleasures of his companion; here tho benevolent lady who solicits alms for a paralyzed woman with many children whom she has discovered in the neighborhood and whose wants she is anxious to relieve. Among the guests at almost any Adirondack resort will be noticed a number who are pale and delicate and who are here seeking relief from lung trouble. There can bo no donbt that such visitors do derive much benefit, but for some no permanent relief can come. In this connection tho management of the company that owns the stages may bo criticised.

Tho tourist buys his tickets over this line and can only reach Blue Mountain Lake by the stage or by engaging a buckboard. The stage company say that they, agree to give transportation and they consider thoy have fulfilled their contract when they have provided scats for all paBsengora, either outside or inside the coach. It is very pleasant to ride on the outside of tho coaoh when the traveler is well and the weather pleasant, but it is not fairly filling the contract when delicate ladies are compelled to take these seats and ride miles throngh a pouring rain, and such is frequently the necessity unless the party be able' and willing to pay the considerable extra expense of a buckboard. Tho crowning delight of th" sojourn at the Visit to the Celebrated German Watering Place. Politeness at the Springs and Rudeness on the Way Thither A Popular Resort in the Time of the Romans Faith in Its Tirtues Continuing Until the Present Day The Cost of the Cure.

Correspondence of the Eagle.J Esre, August 22, 1R88. Eras, the German royal watering place, is picturesquely nestled in an oblong yalley, through which runB the Lahn, a tributary of the Rhino. It is surrounded with verdure clnd hills, (studded here and there with monuments convmemmorat ing victories of the last war and innumerable cafes and restaurants, which in Germany seem very apropos, for the Germans, even more than the French, do not understand pleasuring on an empty stomach. The roads loading to tho summit of the hills, lined on either side with overshadowing trees, under which grow a great variety of wild flowers, are kept in the best of order, and so constructed as to have very littlo inclination. The windings are perforce very frequent and tho eummit is reached after walking perhapa five iimes the distance it would take to climb directly, but it is far more romantic and convenient, two qualities highly prized by excursionists.

From tho summit of every hill one has a most picturesque view of beautiful Ems. Tho limpid lithn runs through the town like a shimmering eilver band, traversed hero and there with light, graceful bridges. The green hills and valleys are dotted with graceful villas, which are all occupied by bathers and visitors. Surrounded by an extensive park, gardens and terraces, Villa Reale is the most favorably situated of them all. All tho foreign singers who are in the habit of going to EmB for the throat cure are sure to apply there for rooms.

On the side on which the city iB built and on which the Casino stands there are many hotels. They are generally of the first order and their prices are not exorbitant. The Casino, an oblong building, is very graceful and airy in appearance. It consists of a hall of good size, which at will can be turned into a theater, with eouvenir stage. Adjoining this ia a suit of smaller rr where one can lounge, play at games xe a nap, if so disposed.

The reading room, which occupies the whole width of tho building leading ont to the gardens, is almost a Hmall crystal palace. Its windowB are many, high and wide, letting in the sunlight and affording a beautiful panorama of gardens, river and hills. Here, sitting in a most comfortable arm chair, one can peruBO papers' sent from all parts of the world, or in imagination can see the room full of anxious men and womeniimsy satisfying the feverish passion of gambling. Before 1872, when gambling, was abolished, this was one of Germany's famous gambling halls, and it brought many a rich and poor man to misery. EmB haB now become the Summer resort of a much more reputable class of society a class who come for the recruiting of health and tho seeking of legitimate pleasures.

In the center of the public gardens there is a spaciouB covered walk which affords shelter from sun and rain. All along on either side most comfortable wicker arm chairs invite the batherB to rest. This walk was built in 1874 by the special order of the Emperor William, who, as well as his son, Frederick, came year after year to take the cure. It was in 1870 that Ems secured a place in history. On the 13th of July, while the Emperor was walking in the gardens, the Duke de Grammont, the ambassador Bent by Napoleon was announced.

The interview was held at the place, and when the Duke told William that Napoleon was opposed to a Hohon Kollern occupying the throne of Spain, he deliberately turned his back to the ambassador and walked off, leaving the messenger petrified with astonishment at the insult. That was the first declaration of the famous war, and a stone is now resting where the Emperor stood with the following words engraved: ''ISthof July, 1870, 10 minutes after nine o'clock in the morning." It has always been surprising to me that springs run on forever, always giving the same even flow of water. The Ems Springs were known before the Christian tra to the Romaus, who, in their conquests of the world, seemed to have been in search of water as well as land. History tells us thatDruRus, who took possession of the valley where Ems now stands and the surrounding country, constructed high walls and watch towers. These castles or watch towers were guarded night and day, and rough telegraph signal were made to warn the Roman army in case of the approach of enemies.

Remains of these fortifications are gtill visible in and about F.ms, and it is supposed that the white thorn, which grows extensively around these remains, was planted by the Romans, for its growth on the walls made them insurmountable. It iH Baid that Ems was the place where Germanicus, the sn of Drusus, had a Strong camp, and where his wife gave birth to the Emperor Caligula. For all the good he did in this world, Caligula might well have remained unborn. It was only in the Sixteenth Century, however, that Ems became a much frequented resort. There were then not enough houses to accommodate all the bathers.

They therefore brought their tents with them, pitched them on the grounds and designated ownership by a flag bearing the colors of tho family unfurled above the tent. What a good time they must have had. Camping out must bo one of the greatest of Summer pleasures. In these times it was the custom to remain from four to Bix hours in a bath. The natural temperature of the water is 120 degrees Fahrenheit and the baths were so constructed as to havj the water continually running so as to keep up the temperature.

Is it because our constitutions have become so much weaker or because we have no time tha tho duration of a bath has been so much diminished Where is the man who would obey his physician's prescription to remain in a bath the fourth part of a day or daily to drink twenty four pints of water? No doubt our ancestors had better and more capacious stomachs than we poor dyspeptics, who would think twenty four pints of water a biblical deluge. About 20,000 people yearly now visit Ems. Three fourths of the number come to remain twenty one days and over for the cure, while tho minority only remain a few days to see the place. Ems has a great advantage over most watering places. It is not expensive.

The cure tax, which gives you the privilege of roaming about everywhere and enjoying every comfort and convenience the Casino affords, entrance to the reading and other rooms, is for tho season. That ia collected only a week after your arrival. Transient visitors are therefore exempt from the tax. You are allowed to drink all the waters you want as your doctor recommends by paying a tax of sixty five cents. The prices of the baths range from twenty five to sixty centH, the attendance and warm bathing towels included.

Inhalations and remedies of a similar nature cost the paltry gnm of five cents. Board and lodging is within the means of every person who is able to do any traveling in search of health. Delightful rooms may be had for eighty cents a day, and the tablo d'hote, whose menus vary in each hotel, according to the French or German mode of cooking, costs three marks seventy five cents. I give the figures to show the difference of prices between a European and American watering place, for I understand that one must be a millionaire thrioe over to be able to financially stand a cure in any American place. When once within the hills of sympathetic Ems yon are sure of kind attention, pleasant looks and polite consideration.

I cannot say as much for the German officials on the road. They are generally rude, overbearing and most impolite. Since the last war they have become thoroughly cognizant of their importance, and make everybody feel the weight of it. Not that they make it a point to be particularly rude to any special nation, but they are possessed a dominating temperament and make everybody feel it. On the way I have seen snperiors treat their subordinates so brutally that every one in the car expressed his indignation.

But discipline is so rigid that they all take punishment with meekness and silence. They console themselves, doubtless, with the thought that they, by way of retaliation, are at liberty to pitch into their subordinates with the same overbearing brutality. Obedience and discipline arc the watch words in Germany and they constitute its strength. Germany, indeed, now seems invulnerable, and woe to the nation which hazards a tight with her. She is the strong tower of Europe, guarded by hosts of giants in whose every face one can read their determination to offer tho last drop of their life's blood to keep their conquests and their country intact.

They are inured to work and hardship. Eternally under discipline and in martial array they ignore comfort and ease, and stand as if ever under the scrutuiiaiiig eye of their kaiser. But Germany is an uucongoninl country to live in. There is not enough foolishness going on for lively temperaments. If one's country must be a fortified garrison in which one must be eternally ready for war, sword in hand, prepared todefend the garrison, Isay that country proves to be only a very disagreeable prison.

Such a life is really not worth living, and patriotism loses all its charm. When to ioye one's own country becomes such a heavy duty, I think I would rathe? share the shame of "the man who never to himself has said, This is my own, my native Let ub go back to Ems, to the cure, to fun and gayety. Ems is the rendezvous of singers of all nationalities, for its waters are the best in the world to cure fatigue and affections of the throat. Those whom I knew were Nevada, Arnoldson, Nordica and Van Zandt for the ladies, and tho MM. de Rosgke and Lassalle, of the Grand Opera House of Paris, and Perugini.

With the exception of one they all made up a party, and a lively Bet they were. It was my privilege to be with them several days, and I reserve all of the fun making for another letter. The serious part of the watering place business must be attended to first. Dr. Vogler is the favorite Ems doctor for gingers.

After a serious examination of their throats he recommends inhalations, the drinking of the waters and baths. The greatest torment, however, for a Btnger, who, by the nature of her profession, rises late in the day, is to rise at 0 in the morning. Notwithstanding the exceptional hour she doesn't want to look like a fright on the promenade, and she must be there glass in band when the baud begins to play that is at 7, She Pi I 53 oiubs. Tho Reunion of the Survivors ot the Ninetieth Regiment, N. Y.

S. V. The annual reunion of the survivors of the Ninetieth Regiment, New York State Volunteers, was held Monday in the woods near Carnarsie Village. Commissary General John F. Firmbaeh had caused the following general order to be Bent along the line: Headquabters, Ninetieth Regiment, N.

Y. V. Comrades From reports received at these headquarters, it is expected that the enemy will attack our lines near Carnarsie, on September 3, 1888. It is therefore ordered that you be at the Howard House, East New York, at 3 P. with all your available men.

Should tho attack have commenced previous to your arrival, mo vo your troops down the railwav to the second station and when you find Ralph Van Houten'B estate move to tho right and attack ithout further orders. Capture and bring in all men that come within your line of march. General Clams commands on the right, General Lager on the left and General Soda on the center. General Disorder brings up the rear. We have cut off General Hat PasBiug.

so you need not look for him. In answer to this order the members, some of them with thoir wives and daughters, boarded a Canarsie train at noon and were whirled away to the village, where the party alighted and formed in line behind a fife and drum corps managed by Comrade Charlie Train. When the camp waB reached the party began to enjoy themselves. Commissary General Firmbaeh superintended the cooking, and when dinner was announced there was a plentiful supply of bean soup, clam chowder, eel stew, porterhouse steak, Indian corn, coffee and hard tack. General George H.

Alexander found his appetite, which he had lost shortly after the War, while Captain Goodwin's teeth would not allow him to eat any hard tack. Comrade John Nolan, of Canarsie, or rather Coroner Nolan, as he is best known, proved that ho could hit a drum as well as over, and exhibited the knapsack he had carried on many a long march. Chaplain Job G. Bass, who was a member of the regiment, did not appear; neither did Captain Henry Kellett. Tho list of survivors present, however, included George W.

It was 8 o'clock when the veterans broke camp aud returned to their homes. The Ninetieth New York is one of the local regiments that went to the front. It was organized in East New York, now the Twenty sixth Ward, by Colonel Joseph Morgan and left for the war in November, 1801. The regiment was engaged in the battles of Beaufort, Port Hudson, Irish Bond, Sabine Cross Roads, Alexandria, Winchester and Cedar Creek. There are at present only ninety two survivors.

DR. (iUNSISOJf DECLINES A Collegre PrcsicSency Will Remain With All Souls' Chsirch. Rev. Dr. Almon Gunnison has written a letter to the trustees of St.

Lawrence University declining the presidency of the College Department of that institution, which was tendered him last June. Dr. Gunnison reached this decision some time ago, but at the request of the trustees has not announced it before. The Fall term of the college opened last week, with one of the largest ontrance classes in the history of tho school, and arrangements have been partially made toward securing a president. Tho place offered many attractions to Dr.

Gunnison and it was with many misgivings that he gave it up. The trustees, faculty and BtudentB were unanimous in their desire to have him accept the position and had he undertaken the work it would have been under the most favorable auspices possible. The college has a promising future. Dr. Gunnison felt that to successfully carry on the work required would involve a practical giving up of tho ministry and a breaking off of the pleasant ties which bind him to Brooklyn.

He is on his eight teen th year with All Souls' Church, and the society, both by formal vote and individual solicitation, have urged him to remain with them. Although one of the oldest settled clergymen in the Eastern District, Dr. Gunnison is but 44 years of age and looks forward to many years of hard work. Ho has a church free from debt and a Bociety ready to support him in every religious and charitable undertaking. He likes the City of Brooklyn as a home.

Ho is editorially connected with the Christian Leader, a position ho would have to give up if ho went to St. Lawrence University. Dr. Gunuison is expected to return to the city this week and preach at All Souls' next Sunday. The serious illnesB of his mother may, however, detain him in Massachusetts, where he is at present stopping.

H. E. D. FOR A WORTHY CAUSE.

A Fair in Aid of St. Francis de Sales' Church. The fair in aid of St. Francis do Sales' Church, on Broadway, opposite Hull street, which was inaugurated on Saturday, has so far proved a most decided success. The BpaoiouB and well kept grounds adjoining the church havo nightly beeu crowded with a merry throng and dancing has been enjoyed in the hall, where Professor Jacob Payez's full orchestra discoursed lively music.

The principal attractions are the contostB, which have awakened considerable interest. Iu the contest for a solid gold ciborinm, worth J300. between St. Francis de Sales' and St. Malachy'B churches, the latter is in tho lead.

Apparently J. Mulvey will win the gold beaded cane as the most popular man in the parish. Other contestants aro L. J. Cox, M.

J. McDermott and Edward Moran. One of the amusing features ia the "baby contest" between a trio of pretty little onea, the idea being to determine which iB the most popular with the visitors. A number of booths are ranged along the walls in the school room, at which almoat every conceivable articlo can be purchased So far tho receipts have been all that could bo expected, and Mra. J.

It is believed that tho State Board of Health will be requested by the local Boards of Health in tho towns of Flatbush and Flatlands to look into the nuisances oxistiug iu the bone factories near the borders of Flatbush in the Town of Flatlands. The odors from those factories are certainly equal to those from Barren Island.

Flatbush comes in for its share, and when the wind is in that direction during the warm weather it is almost impossible to stand the smell when the windows are open. It is likely that the Board will not leave this comity without paying a visit to West Flatbush, where there are no less than a dozen fat rendering establishments, iu all of which pigs and cattle are kept. Mr. Reed, a large property owner iu that locality, has been untiring in his efforts to havo the local J3oard abate this nuisance, but without success, and as a last resort he has appealed to the State Board to take some steps in the premises. MR.

The Louisvilles play to morrow, Saturday and Sunday and then Brooklyn "goes West" to Cleveland. The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says of the Cincinnati team that "tho reaBon of the club's failure to win more games is alone traceable to a lack of team work.

When the season first started every player in the team was working solely for the club's success, but from the day the association averages were published in the Cincinnati papers a number of the men think only of bettering their individual records. Such a course is bound to rain the chances of any club. This has been the great drawback to the New York team in seasons past, and tho same can be said of the Cincinnati Club this year. From the time the Reds cease to foster their batting records will date a new era of the club's success. The Chicago and St.

He won a good game from Detroit in the Spring, but the association clubs did not have much trouble in solving Ihh curves. The pnrchaso of Chamberlain precipitated Devlin's retirement.
