The game of ten pins whioh has been generally supposed to be ono of tho favorite outdoor amusements of the old Dutoh sottlors iu this country has beon not only modernized but, as a great many bowlers say, Americanized in respoct to rules and regulations. During tho wintor months in this city tho rolling at ton pins has become both a fashionable and a favorite amusoment in allclassos of sooioty, and from tho prosont outlook tho next season will ba one of the best yot known.

Senator Birkett put in a detail bid to do the entire work for $437,000.

The com the sagacity or prudence of its authors. Its, appearance at this time, before the situation has crystalized, or the Republicans have learned what tho autumn may bring forth, borders on the farcical.

Considered in all its bearings it adjusts itself symmetrically to the long list of blunders that have impaired Republican strength in the oity of New York and reduced the party organization in that community to the condition of an ineffective and unattractive side show in politics. Slimmer Amtucmsala Though we are sweltering in tho hottest month of the year and although Richard Mansfield has dono an unaccustomed thing in shutting up the theater whore it was announced that he would play through the summer, there are signs of a reopening season.

Blaino and Preston B. Plumb essay to depart very widely from their llfo long convictions on tho tariff question, it certainly will not bo seriously contended that other Republicans, who have novor faltored in tbolr adheronco to the protective tariff idea, forfeit thoir party standing or furnish grounds for impeaching thoir Republicanism, if they, too, upon mature deliberation, mako bold to express views on that subject at variance with the accepted party dogmas.

For over thirty years tho Champion has advocated and defended tho protective tariff theory. It has argued this quoBtiou with all tho logic at its command. It has furniehod columns of facts and riguros in support of protection versua freo trade. Sincere in its belief that tho only truo economio polloy for this country was "protection to American industrioe," it has negleoted no opportunity to set forth its advantages, and to combat what it has invariably designated tho frao trado herosy. Being a Republican journal, it has specially emphasized thiB Republican doo triue.

Recently, howover, tho Champion has discovered certain reasons for very materially changing its mind on the subject, aud at this writlnff it has no hesitancy in declaring that, all senti ment and bias aside, whilo a protectivo is a deoidod and almost indispensable benofit to tho East, tho great manufacturing and financial stronghold of our country, for the West, the great agricultural area of our land, it ia a positive injury, a barrier to its progress, an insurmountable hindrance to its development and an offectual estoppel to its material prosperity. What has led the Champion to this conclusion, this radical change in its economic opinions? Briefly this: It has found that uuder tho dominance of the protective idea the East has steadily crown in wealth at tho expense and to tire detriment of the West. In other words, that Eastern manufacturers and capitalists havo increasod their accumulation onormously, whilo the farm era of the West have, during tho same period, ma.lo no proportionate gaiu, but on the contrary have been reduced to a condition of vassalage, of tribute paying serfs. To put it in still another form: The capitalists aud manufacturers iu tho East.aidcd and abetted by a protective tariff, havo nu le nuuey iu fabulous sums, while the farmers of tho West havo been scarcely able to maintain theniselvos respectably. Not only so, but Eastern manufacturers and capitalists havo, by reason of this protective tariff, been placed in a position whero thoir financial powor givos them practical control of our government in all lti departments, dospito the votes and wishes of the people of the Western states who, by reason of being large creditors, of necessity borrowers of and dependent upon the East, arc virtually politically disfranchised.

These facts havo induced the Champion at this time to make public its conviction that a protectivo tariff is ono of the many tilings tho West doon not want and cannot afford to sustain. The Western irmer has no interest whatever in a protective tariff. His interest ralhor lies in tho direction of freo trade of access to all marketswherever his products may bo in demand. It is for his interest to sell what he raises 1 wheroror in all the wide world he can find a purchaser, and thus provide himself with tho means of diiposing of hia surplus crops. Not only is ho vitally interested in securing all possible markets, but oqually so in buying what ho needs aS choaply as ponsiblo.

Sell whore ho may, and buy at tho lowest figuroa; this, selfish aa it may Beem, ia what most concerns tho Weatern farmer. Free trade will give the Wost tho markets of the world, and an opportunity to buy what it requires at leas thau half it now pays for these same articles. Lumber, hardware, furniture, clothing, groceries and agricultural implomouta theso the West needs principally. Free trade will bring theso things to us at figures far below protectivo prices. In all this the Champion speaks solely from tho standpoint of self interest.

It ia with states and sections as with individual citizeus self preservation is tho flrat obligation. A duo regard to our sectional preservation, our territorial interest, demands the adoption of freo trado commercial reciprocity with all nations. Tho East, aa wo have stated, has grown dangerously rich by means of a protective tariff; now let the West assort itself and nso tho means at its command to change its economio policy to one more conducive to sectional welfare. This question is broader than party linos. It is more vital than mere formal political organiza tions, and more essential than the dominance of auy particular set of politicians, for it touchoa our life and is indisaolubly interwoven with our existence.

Protection continued twonty years longor, and the West, with its vast agricultural possibilities, would be a paupor bound hand and foot. Lot us who live bore in the Wost be fools no longer, but let us oxorciso our common senao and protect our own interests by obtaining, just aa quickly aa possible, tho freest trado with all its attendant btnefits. tchison Champion.

The inhabitants could not be expected to keep such refuse iu thuir houaos, and the garbage men seemed to havo forgotten to call. On tho south side of tbo street for half a block down ninn a neat row of brown stone houses, while on the opposito side for a like distance ia a row or brick bouses of similar dimensions. So far, so good. Bulow this cornea the source of much of the trouble, but the residents havo so far been unable to prevent its continuance.

On this south side next to the ytone houses beginB a row of sheds and workshops. The firnt is a coal yard, then conies an iron foundry and then a stained glass factory. Against the foundry seem to bo directed the most numerous complaints. On the sidewalk in front, or what ought ba .1 Kidc walk, is scattered an endless variety of iron pipe of all sizes and descriptions; these, it is claimed, are often piled far out in tho street, obstructing the roadway and cauuing no end of annoyance to passing vehicles. Through tho day men are constantly at work npon these pipes and the particlcH of iron from their chisels make passing a dangerous and exciting feat.

Tho people say that all this annoyanco would be different were the street a less public one, but it leads from all the blocks higher up, down to the Franklin avenue cars, which run along Wytho avenue, and in this way neceesitutea a block's wabVoutof the way for all who do not wish to run tho gauntlet of dirt andiron chiseling. By long flittering tlie residents of the neighborhood would have learned to boar this particular annoyance had it not beon for another which proved far harder to put up witu. It was some time ago that a small blast nruaco was put up in the foundry, with a chimney which peeped only a very short distance above tho building. Hero came tho nib. Whon that chimney got to work tho people say there was no living iu tho neighborhood.

Being so low, the volnmcs of thick, blaok Bmoke rollod over tho low houso tops adjoining aud then into cvory window iu range, and tho rango of that smoko waa deop and wide. Witli it camo soot so thick that furniture was quickly rained wherovor it fell. This was not so bad in wintor. when the windows could be tiEhtly closed, but whon the hot weather came it was impossible to Bhut things up olusa. 1'his, it iB claimed, could bo remedied to a groat oxtent by a higher discharge pipe for the furnace, which would carry the amoke up and away.

Thia thoy claim to have requested, but without compliance from tho foundry peoplo. On tho other side of tho street, oppoBito the foundry, a row of brick houses is in courso of construction, but, considering prosont surroundings, it is hardly thought that they will roadly be disposed of or rented. In conversation with a gentleman who lives Just around the corner, on Bedford avenue, ho said: "Tho valuation of our property in the neighborhood has been materially increased, yot nothing has boon dono by tho city to better the condition of that street. It is sadly neglected, although we havo dono everything in our power to keep it up. You can hardly imagino tho trouble that smoko has caused us.

They Boem to burn somo kind of refuse coal or coke which makos tho amoko as thick and sticky aB tar, aud whon it gets on anything it leaves its mark injjelibly. Oh, yos, we have tried to have it remedied, but it iB no use. Wo did manage to get somo of the iron stuff off of tho street long enough to havo it swept. That was some threo weeks ago, and it took olosa watching to accomplish eyen that much. Now, however, the iron has como back on to tho street again Just as badly aa ever.

We intend to got up a potition to havo these nuisanceB abated umt somo care taken of the street, for it Is a thoroughfare which is used a good deal by the people up the stroet In gettiug to the Franklin avenue oars." The stroet as it now stands is anything but inviting, and to the volcanic upheaval the paving, which would mako shaky riding for even a mountain buckboard, is added the remains of au old broken down top wagon, whioh peacefully reposes at the iido of tho way. THE DEATH OF JAMES TRAISOU. Important Testimony Taken by Coroner II or ion Yeierdny. Coroner Horton, of Valley Btroam, yesterday began tho inquest in the caso of James Trainer, whod edon Friday at Murray fc Datz's hotel, Rockaway Beaoh, from tho effects of a quantity of oxalic acid taken in mistake for Rocheiie salts. It was rumored that Trainor had boon given the drug by a fellow employe of the hotel, and, in consequence of this rumor, tho suspectod man has been under a strict watch by order of the coroner, although no arrest was made.

After Dr. Theyson, who attended the deceased, had given his testimony regarding tho causo of rioath, Louis Rosonbaum 'was put upon the stand. He testified in substance as follows: I was awakeued at 5 o'clock Friday morning by the groans of Trainor, who was apparently in intense pain; I asked him what waB the trou bio, r.nd ho replied that ho had taken a dose of salts and it had made him very Bic.k; ho askod me to rub his feet, as he was getting cold; I did so, when snddonly hu was doubled completely together with severe painB in his stomach, and boggod me to get him something to relieve his sufferings; the steward, H. J. Sheffield, hail gone for a doctor, but before ho arrived Trainor was dead; I did not know until tho doctor camo what had been the cause of his death; ho told me before he died that Martin Cloran had brought the medicine to tho room whore they slept tho night previous; the stuff was in a cup and a quantity of water stood beBlde it on the bureau: Trainor said that he had asked Cloran what the cup contained, and Cloran replied, "Roohelle Baits; tho drug was not taken that night; in the morniug Trainor took tho preparation to the kitchen, where two doses woro mixed ono for himself and ono for Cloran; whilo Trainor was preparing tho drug Cioran went to the cellar to do somo work; when ho returned Trainor complained of cramps and asued Cloran where be got tho medicine, exclaiming, That salts tastes vory funny:" Cloran replied that all salts tasted funny; Cloran told me that rre had got the salts from John Jacobs through the atoward, and bolieved it to bo all right; when Cloran Baw tho condition of Trainor bo did not take tho doso which had been prepared for him; it was afterward thrown away.

H. J. Bhoffield, the steward, testified that he was omployod by Murray Datz; ho had not seen Trainor mix tho doses, but was told by the pastry cook that be had done bo; tho package was markod "Poison;" they use tho aoid to olean tho brass about the hotel: it waB kept on the ahelf and oould bo obtained by any of the employes abont the plaoe; the witness did not know that Trainor had taken the poison until ho saw the paper, whioh was lying beside tho cup ho had UBed; deceased, in the witness' opinion, waa a good, Sober man and was rather devout. Coroner Horton adjourned tho inquest until Friday next, although Cloran waB tho only remaining witness to bo sworn. BR, MC CULL CALL.

Plymouth Parish Lait Evening Can firmed the Action of (lie Ciiurch. A diBpatoh from Worcester, states that Plymouth pariah last night oonftrmod the aotion of thoir church in extending a pastoral call to the Rev. Dr. Archibald MoCullagh, of tho Ross Btreet Presbyterian ohnroh, of this city. The salary is to be $0,000, the same amount that he is now receiving in the Ross street church, and bin moving expenses will be paid.

Six weeks' vacation will also be allowed. Dr. McOutUgh hat been notiflod by telegraph and it is behoved he will accept. The call to Worcester is a flattering ono. The chnroh odifice ia one of tho finest Protestant ohnrchos in Now England, and the congregation is composed of some of tho moat reliable peoplo in the city.

Dr. McCullagh has boon pastor of Boss Btreet Presbytorian ohnrcb sinoe 1878, and has brought the society up from a weak and wavering organization to a strong and flourishing church, whioh has long been a factor for good in the community. A change would undoubtedly be benofloial to Dr. McCullagh, and his acceptance of the call to Worcester ia looked forward to by many of his congregation. The call extended to Dr.

Powell, of tho Lee avenue Congregational ohnrch, has also been ratified by the Old South ohnroh congregation, and tho general impression is that he will go to Worcester, too. BABILON SCHOOL OFFICERS.

The wife murderer wis done to death in the prison at Auburn to day.

An event which occurred the first time in the world also marked the ending of the use of the gallows in this stnte. The accomplished change in the method of capital punishment will not long bo limited to Now York. That which is the motto, and only the motto, of Maine is the custom of New York: "Dirigo," though written on the 'scutcheon of the Pino Tree state, is actually the habit and the history of the Empire state and is the moral meaning of "Excelsior," her own insignium. The first community to establish free schools and liberty of religious belief, the earliest to effectuate steam navigation, telegraphy and the telephone, the pioneer in the system of one headed state commissions and in giving to her executives power to veto separate items in money bills, New York likewise leads in the movement which demits the gallows to limbo and which harnesses to mechanism the elementary and universal power within matter as an agent for the extermination of the shedders of blood. The lightnings, of which the sporadic bolts have been recognized as the ire of God or as the caprico of Satan, according to the upward or downward bent of credulous ignorance, boconie uuder science the versatile servant of man and take their place in law as the expression of its supreme penalty.

In the not remote hereafter when the hangman's tree, the bowstring, the gnrrote and the guillotine will all have been retired from their functions on the earth, in favor of the electrical button of which the pressure from afar deals out instant and painless death to those who have forfeited the right to live, this time will be recurred to as one of dramatic and enduring importance to the world. A revolution in penalty takes its date from to day. The wholesome effacement of a commonplace brute wears an aspect of dignity, when the antecedents to his removal are considered. For nearly two years the law which has dispatched him has been on the statute books. Its validity has been contested in every grade of court that could be resorted to in the land.

The opinion of every court has been unanimously in its favor. Authority never wavered. Without haste and without rest, government steadily advocated its claim to make the advance signified and signalized by the act. In the contention Keinniler was not a text, but only a protext his fate was merely an incident. The right of government to utilize Bcieuco as an exoeu tioner was involved.

The disposition of all the murderers of all the future was weighed in the balances of the blinded goddess. It has been decided that hereafter civilization can avail itself of the final form, which by a paradox is also the germ form, of force in ridding itself of its convicted monsters. Intelligence and progress have won a victory over the scaffold, which had well nigli hardened to fetich in the long centuries through which it had been a fact. The irony of fate and the hollowucss of litigation aro attested by tbo monumentally insincere quality of the effort to save the wretch who was destroyed to day. The plea of "cruel and unusual punishment" was not the birth of benevolence in the heart of humanity.

It was a thread of theory on which to bead bathos aud buncombe, under the tremulous iufluence of a retainer from a mortified and outwitted corporation. Grave jurists have been required to submit, with visages to which decorum forbade the relief of laughter, to the infliction of wordy and windy arguments which made havoc of sense, hash of law and mockery of justice. Those jurists have rendered judgment with more than tho simulated severity of Koraan augurs. The court side of these appeals has exceeded the extravagance of a Gilbert and the deliberate delirium of an Offenbach. Not opera bouffo has anywhero equaled the serious nonsense of this burlesque on procdeure.

Tragedy in ono act was to day the epilogue of a two years' comedy of twonty. Kommler not only pointed a moral of retribution, but he adorned a talo of solemn absurdity. Reallv, his prompted exit was a stage improvement on the antics of his attorneys. To the degree to which the new law reverses the relations of murderers to authority we think it will commend itself to reasonable minds. Of old, and for a great while, the murderer was the pampered and posing hero of jail aud gallows histrionism.

Saints' parting messages, as sounds of earth grew dull and distant, might often evade chronicle. The last words of those whom government apologetically strangled were never let escape publication. Their final hours were a levee to which tho maudlin of both sexos sought admission with confections and floral offerings. Hangman's time was crime's picnic and fools' holiday. Tho appetito of tho condemned was as carefully recorded as his utterances.

His pulsations were noted along with his preaching. His victuals were reported as fully as his views. His digestion divided space with his discourse. His dress and his address went Into history as ho went out of it. Government was made appear a heartless beast as the murderer was swung up in the role of the indomitable bravo, or as the model of contrition, the paragon of forgiveness, or the bully of piety.

Not seldom the militia formed a guard of honor, under the form of a corps of order, to soften, by an appeal to the homicide's self iniportanco, the deep damnation of his taking off to the mar tyr'6 mind. This has certainly been changed for the better. Now when tho courts aro done with one condemned to die for cause, Cain ia remanded to an oblivion which is the similitude of the death to which ho is doomed. He belongs thereafter to those appointed to end by law. No opportunity to sue heaven for pardon is withheld from him, but the idea that his opinions are important to mankind is not entertained.

Ho is as if he had ceasod to be, until it is certified that he is no more. He is kept from sight; ho is killed in solitude; ho is buried in quiet; law in hie master and it makes Boience his soundless and invisible exterminator. The effeot of this on rampant or intending crime cannot, we believe, be but salutary, because it ifl infinitely more terrifying than tho old union of reception interviews, ovation and theatrical oxit which made tho last momenta of many a murderer tho "proudest" of his life, decorating dying with a unique distinction. The Eagje is confident that the new law will lessen murder as well as murderers. As for the abolition of capital punishment, that primarily rests with those who slay.

Lot them stop their business. Thon capital punishment will abolish itself. The unusual courso of throwing out a bid by John E. Greany was taken by the board of supervisors yesterday. The bid stated no ttnount for some ropnirs to the building in ecution contained the volunteered opinion of Dr.

Spitzka, of New York, to the effect that the electrical method was a failure and will never be duplicated. The Eagle anticipated such an expression from Dr. Spitzka from the moment ho was invited, or included in this case. He is a learned and probably a sincere man, who does not agree with the scientists with whom he associates and who at times suggests the idea that he believes it is better to bo different than right. It was unreasonable to expect that the first execution by electricity would be so suc cessful as the second or tho fiftieth.

None of the incidents impairing complete success in Kemmler's case was so revolting as the frequent failures of hangings to hang, of ropes not to part or of necks not to break. The criminal was put out of poin before he was put out of life, and the latter process was accomplished with surety and expedition. The new law has an organized enemy in a powerful electrical company. It should be judged on its merits as an exterminating agency without Reference to the commercial susceptibilities of that company. It will be so judged in the opinion of the Eagle, which believes that the new method has come and has come to stay, Dr.

Spitzka and other unique, not to say cranky, "neurologists" to the contrary notwithstanding. The Kaiser on II In Vacation. Ever since England ceded Heligoland to Germany the Emperor William has felt a strong desire to hug his grandmother. The old woman seems to have been nothing loath herself and so when they met on the threshold of Osborne house the scene was touching to the last degree. Although tho accounts wo had of the kaiser during the illness of his lamented father were not of a kind to indicate that he possessed an affectionate disposition, tho tenderness with which he embraced hor Britannic majesty on this occasion may bo cited to impeach the accuracy of the inference drawn from such accounts.

Most Germans are naturally affectionate. Family ties aro stronger with them than with any other race. The sentiment that consecrates tho name of home, the sweet influences that hallow tho domestic fireside, the legends and memories of childhood are woven into theirfery being and become the master forces of their after lives. Therefore, while the cession of Heligoland may have determined William to visit England, there can be little doubt that it acted upon a heart already powerfully moved by tho promptings of filial love. The queen fully realized this and, in returning his demonstrations, hugged the young man as vigorously as a lady of hor years could be expected to do.

Nothing but good can come of their meeting. All England is happy in the presence of tho imperial guest. All Germany rejoices that he has gone to see his grandmother. Bismarck may feel a little chilly, but who cares for Bismarck now William is at home in tho land of his maternal ancestors. Ho wears the happy smile "that wrinkled care derides," and feels as though he were a boy again.

For tho nonce the cares of empire are cast aside. Oaprivi is tho kaiser ad interim. Tho actual monarch putting aside his crown partakes of the hos2itality of a nation famed for its good cheer and olthough ho may not "hunt tho tiger" with the Prince of Wales ho will have enough experience to convince him that tho nearer an Englishman stands to. tho English throno the more of a "daisy" he becomes. Yesterday there was a royal breakfast party in the gardens of Osborne house.

Who that has over visited Osborne and appreciates tho queen's accomplishments as a housekeeper can doubt that it was a charming entertainment? If they had nothing but bacon and fried eggs to eat, how much more enjoyable are bacon and fried eggs in such a spot as Osborne than a banquet of the most delicate viands anywhere else. In what other place on earth is the sward so rich aud velvety, tho foliago so exquisite a green, the air so balmy, the flowers so fragrant and the enchantment of sea and shore so divine as they are at Osborne We give it up. A man does not need to bo a gastronomer amid these surroundings, for nature spreads for him a feast that would make the ringing of a dinner bell mere discord and mockery. But his chaperon the Prince of Wales will not permit the youthful kaiser to linger long in the company of his grandmother. There is fun of other kinds in view, and when he has had a sufficient taste of a yachtsman's lifo in the channel, he will be toted over the white cliffs andvordant downs to tho British metropolis.

Once there the prince will know how to cement the entente cordiale between Germany and Great Britain to the enlargement of tho kaiser's knowledge as a citizen of the world. Dr. Depew can testify that the monarch has fallen into capable hands, and if the blooming Hnhenzollern doesn't have a good time, it will be his own fault. Our esteemed neighbor the Tribune is at it again this morning. Tho slow progress of the tariff bill in the senate disturbs its serenity and in a splenetic mood it cracks the editorial whip over the heads of senators.

The unreadiness of tho senate to act upon a great party measure which embodies the pledges of more complete defense for home industries upon which the last presidential election was carried," it observes, "seems to many unaccountable unless the free traders' explanation is correct." This hangs tho free trade tag around the neck of Senator Plumb for he declares that if tho Republicans of the Northwest had thought that the Republican platform of 1888 meant a further increase of duties, or, as the Tribune puts it, "more completed defense for home industries," Benjamin Harrison would not have b'een elected President. He thus adopts the opinion of the alleged free traders, and therefore becomes, according to the Tribune's system of classification, one of that abhorred and unpatriotic band. The narrow escape from destruction by a large ioeberg of the steamer Portia from St. Johns, N. on her way to Brooklyn, is a reminder of the dangers of ocean travel at this season of the year, when icebergs are floating about promiscuously and when oo 1 lision with them is not the least of the risks incurred on the water.

Owing to good management the Portia escaped with small injury. Her commander, Captain Ash, is deserving of credit for the skillful manner in which ho evaded the danger. The board of education yesterday very properly postponed the consideration of the establishment of a separate boys high school until October, when General Gates, the official and appropriate leader of the movement, now absent because of ill health, will be able to resume charge of it. The endeavor to go on without him was a discourtesy whioh the board rightly refused to indorse. The marking system of Superintendent Maxwell was referred to a special meeting to be held on August 14.

The committees for the ensuing year were announced and the assignment of past appear to have been uniformly honored by repetition this time. Philadelphia shows on the completed census count an aggregate population of 1,044, 894. The increase during the past ten years is 197,724 or 23.24 per cent Brooklyn, with a total of 804,337, an increase of 237,714 or 41.95 per has nothing to fear by comparison. It will bo seen by tho foregoing figures that we hare grown more rapidly than our neighbors on thelWks ot the Schuylkill. The difference in favor of Brooklyn is all the more promising for the reason that the cities, in respect of social and domestic life, boar many points of resemblance.

Both are distinctively home communities. Henoe Brooklyn enjoys the proud pre eminence of more rapid expansion than any other home city of tho land. Pith ex OontroUer adsworth running in lie Republican district and ex Attorney Gen eral Russell running in another Republican istriot for congress, tho state ofnoerg of 1880 81 will almost be able to coll a quorum themselves 4a tbe next house. usual liberality, has offered larger inducements to promoto tho sport of ton pins and bring the acknowledged championship teams together for a mutual and friendly contest with each other than any similar organization.

They also had another crack tenm, Apollo No. 2, who just managed to beat the Eaglo boys' score by one pin, rolling a score of 770. Tho Jungens Holt Fast then went for the Apollos, but only succeeded in making a score of 825, nine less than their old antagonist. Tho Independents, who rolled next, han the whistling Irishman (Theodore Meht), in their team, and made the beat score of the tournament, 848; J.

Tho Arlinetons had two toamsin tho tournament, but tho best thoy could do waa a jore for No, 1 of 730 and for No. 2 of 082. The Franklins, the rivals of the Arlingtous, thon started in with thoir team and made tho rospectable score of 804.

Tho Nonpareils, of South Brooklyn, followed and mado 703. Tho last, and probably the winning toam, was the Atalantas, and they made the big Rcoro of OBO, J.

Bricklayer Keller Draws a Razor Across Ills Neck. A man with his throat cut almost from ear to ear and tho blood pouring in torrents from tho wound was met on Fulton street, near Glenada place, about 0:30 o'olook yesterday evening by Officer Charles Staok, of the Ninth precinct. The wounded man was straggling along with a crowd of children in his wake. Tho patrolman rushed up and, taking hold of tho blood covered indi vidual, led him in tho direction of tho nearest pharmaoy, at Fulton Btrcet and Albany avenue. An ambulahco was summoned and Surgeon Klauss temporarily attended to tho man's injuries.

Subsequently ho was removed to St, Mary's hospital, where, with the aid of pencil and paper, ho described himsolf aB Hugh Kelley, 25 yoars old, a bricklayer, living at 1,548 Fulton street. He admitted that he had attempted to commit suicide, but refused to mako known his reason for the rash aot. The facts were reported to the Twelfth precinct station houso, within tho jurisdiction of which Keltoy's homo is situated, and Deteotive Sergeant O'Neil Btartod out to in vestigate. The detective found that Kelley was a boarder with a Mrs. Farrell at the above ad dress and in his room found an extra large sized razor, tho blade of which was bospatterod with blood.

Ho had evidently out hia throat in hia room and then walked down stairs and into the Btreet. Mrs. Farrell could assign no reason for Eelley's attempted suicide. She said that ho was rogularly employed by Thoman Batan, the builder, and scorned to havo enough money to get along on. He has no relatives in this oountry.

The hospital surgeons say that Kelley has an evon ohanco betweon life and death. WORK FOR THE LACROSSE STICKS. Tho CIiampiOtiN Will Havo Hard Work Defending' the Gap. The old Indian game of lacrosse seems to havo received a fresh boom since tho Staten Island athletic olnb laorosao team succeeded in wresting the covetod Oolrich cup from the Druid laorosso club of Baltimore. The winners of tho trophy now have their hands" fuU and plenty of hard work ahead" for them to retain the prize during tho balance of the season.

They have already played one match against the Brooklyn lacrosso club for its possession and have now three chal lenges on hand for other games, which are likely to be hard fought contests. Tho New Jersey ath letic club will havo tho firgt opportunity to play for the cup, the game to take place inside of throe weeks. The next competitor will bo the Brooklyn lacrosse club, whioh will have another trial for tho prize. After this tho recently or ganized Manhattan Iaorosse toam will follow in the footsteps of the winners. The Bodiord iaorosse club, which is virtually an offshoot of the Brooklyn, is playing well, and as soon as the weather moderates a little will be hoar from.

The attendance at Monmouth park yesterday was light, but the racing was good. Mr. Bol mont's Clarendon, a 10 to 1 shot, won the first race, and his 2 year old Potomac won tho Bed Bank stakes.

The other wlnnors were Judge Morrow, Stockton; Village Maid, Merideu. The Ehvyers won heavily the latter. mittee will have no difficulty in reaching conclusion to favor the predeterminedcon tractor, so far as the veto of tho supervisor at largo is coucerned, for ho is out of the country, and when the cat is away the mice will play. A featuro of tho debate was tho ferocious insistence of Supervisor O'Brien that the county farm committee aro "honest." Surprises will never cease, and tho appearance of O'Brien as an indorser of his colleagues requires an enlargement of the public capacity for wonder. Ucrclj a Political Side Show.

The Republican club of New York city has issued an address. It is a curious document. Appealing to "all voters who desire an honest municipal government" it declares for the nomination, ia the approaching canvass, of a straight out Republican ticket. The authors of the address undertake to justify their attitude by copious references to the past. They begin by denouncing the Pernor ratio party as unfit to govern.

All factions of that party come in for equal condemnation. Tammany is soundly berated. Tho "counties" are held up to contempt, The specters of Mozart and Irving halls are paraded to provo tho wickedness of those now extinct organizations. But one way out of the existing dilemma is held to be open. That is to elect a list of simou pure, rock ribbed, hide bound Republican candidates.

Coalition with independents is discouraged. The presence of business men in legitimate political endeavor is discountenanced. Notice is served that if the people of the metropolis want reform they must either secure it through partisan Republican channels or dispense with it altogether. The only hope for New York, say the members of the Republican club, is in the grand old party. The absurdity of this argument is apparent on its face.

New York is a Democratic city. No Republican has been elected to tho mayoralty there since, under the impulse of the civil war excitement, George Opdyke was chosen. That was nearly thirty years ago. Since then the tendency of public sontiment has been steadily toward the Democracy. The Democratic party has augmented its strength until, from sheer weight of numbers, it has divided into two wings.

Either of these factions is usually stronger than the Republicans. The Republican organization, in point of fact, has steadily declined. Under the masterly leadership of Chester A. Arthur it possessed some vigor. Often it operated as a vital factor in affairs.

What is the situation to day For many years it has been uunble, on the general ticket, to eloct a single nominee. It has only four out of twenty four members of the state assembly. Its only senator was secured through Democratic divisions and an unprecedented expenditure of money. In tho congressional delegation it has not a single representative. Whatever virility it displays, in campaigns or at the polls, is confined to a few sections in the upper part of Manhattan Island.

Down town, in tho populous localities of the great east side, it can hardly rally a corporal's guard. Do tho spokesmen of tho Republican club believe sincerely that a regular Republican candidate for mayor, running as a Republican, would stand the slightest show of success? Experience has taught them the folly of such anticipations. They have seen so able and upright a man as Theodore Roosevelt, after a spirited campaign, beaten out of sight by both of his competitors. The overwhelming defeat of Colonel Erhurdt only two years ago was another lesson that ought to havo conveyed enduring conviction. These admonitions have convinced many of the men whose names ore attached to the pronunciamentoof tho Republican club.

That they are not proceeding in good faith is plain to tho most casual observer. Thoy are simply playing double. They are striving to mislead not only the voters for whom they assume to speak, but the masses of the people. What would follow adoption of the line of aotion advocated by the club is patent to every citizen. Presentation of a regular Republican candidate would operate directly in the interest of Tammany hall.

That powerful combination is already formidably intrenched. Its organization is superb. Its leaders are serene and confident. Its followers aro activo and enthusiastic. To dislodge it from control will be no child's play.

Complete and hannonions union of its opponents is indispensablo to its overthrow. That union can be perfected solely through concerted and disinterested co operation of all who believe that prevailing administrative methods are wrong and susceptible of improvement. If the Republican politicians persist in protruding their partisanship, and in arrogating at this premature stage credit for all the political virtue that survives in the city of New York, thoy are doomed to be dejirlved of opportunity to participate in any reform movement. Such pretensions are obnoxious to the vast majority of citizens. They insult the intelligence of every self respecting Democratic voter.

Thoy are more likely to solidify tho Democratic voting strength than to win converts from the Democracy. Men of the Democratic faith will be reluctant to admit that they are incapable of self government that the story of administration in New York for thirty years has been one of continuous misrule and corruption that they are bont on ruining themselves and their neighbors and that the only hope of salvation is in the Republican machine and its interested managers. Men of conservative instincts will pause before they sanction surrender to the manipulators who, at best, confessedly offer them nothing more than a choice of evils. Municipal reform in the city of New York will not como through the Republican party organization. Isolate that inharmonious and spiritless body and it is impotent for good or evil By union with other elements, in opposition to Tammany it might contribute to the betterment of existing conditions.

By antagonizing those elements it must either serve as a tender to Tammany or perform the dismal funotions of a hopelesss minority. Tho Republican club can hardly hope to deceive the public. Its managers entertain no more expectation of electing tho incoming mayor, or controller, or sheriff than they do of celebrating next November a Republican victory in Texas or Mississippi. What they hope to bring about iB a deal that will secure a few additional as semblymon and the consequent succession to Mr. Evarte in the United States senate, a possible gain in the congressional delegation from this state and such crumbs from the spoils table as may be vouchsafed by the faction to be benefited by their extraordinary and disingenuous course.

It is probable, moreover, that they propose to aot more specifically with reference to 1891 and 1892 than to 1890. They aro doubtless Impressed with the superstition, long sinoe exploded in the estimation of thoughtful men, that to maintain the machine intact is to reinforce the party for the' larger struggles of tho early future. They are laboring under the delusion that somehow a fruitless Republican municipal canvass in 1890 may lead to a victorious gubernatorial campaign next year, or a successful struggle, two years hence, for presidential supremacy. The policy foreshadowed is singularly short sighted. Persistence in it will alienate Democrats and independents alike.

Confronted by a partisan issue tho Democraoy of Now York must sweep its opponents from tho field like chaff before a hurricane. Convinced that the Republican managers are intent only on gaining a norrow party advantage independent voters will remain indifferent or cast their lot with the triumphant Democratic majority. Upon no conceivable ground can the declaration of the Republican club be defended. It Is neither politic) no patriotic. It ia not calculated to invite popular approval war to command respect dr garden; two variety shows are running; the ballet and 8trauss, together with a sliding roof aud adjacent beer, lure many people to Madison square garden, and last night the Star theater reopened with "A Woman of the World" and "Tho Balloon," both of which proved to be mildly entertaining and undoubtedlylight.

In Brooklyn tho dramatic season will be unusually late in beginning, for the building and repairs now in progress at tho principal playhouses are a long way from completion. There is no popniar clamor to have them reopen, however, for with the febrile condition of tho thermometer amusements that compel people to sit in an ill ventilated house, with a large quantity of gas burning and rules and customs in force that prevent them from taking their full measure of comfort, are not popular. In New York, oven, where there is always a floating population perennially eagor to "boo the town," the play has been but moderately attended, and the city is in but a limited sense a rival of the summer resorts. The uncertainty of hot weather ventures in dramatic amusements makes the inquiry pertinent as to whether it would not be worth while to give the public such a class of entertainment as suited with tho season. France has its cafes chantants, as they aro called, open air theaters are to be found in central Europe and wherever tho Teutons live or assemble a beer garden will be established.

The European beer garden does not mean what a New York or Brooklyn beer garden does a dusty back yard, with two withered hemlocks in pots and a high fence painted with appalliug landscapes. It means a spacious inclosure entered through a beautiful building of granito or marble, where thoso who wish to take refreshments under cover may do so. The garden is really a garden with beds of flowers, smooth lawns, vino covered arbors, alleys of trees, graveled walks, ponds and fountains, arches of. lights, and a capital orchestra discourses music from a central pavilion, while hundreds of chairs and little round tables invite the sojourner to bo at ease and refresh himself. The smoke of many cigars floats inoffensiyely away, the night breeze tosses tho branches overhead, there is no squeezing in and out of reserved seats all is coolness and comfort.

And the beer is cheap and good. We have few things of this character in America, but there is room for them. Tho strenuous efforts of the prohibitionists, who think that beer is a kind of whisky, to keep the public from drinking it while listening to music, and the corruptibility of excise officers who license the lowest sort of groggeries at tho behest of politicians, but are careful that such temptations as malt liquor and claret shall not be put before the respectable masses until financial motives of remarkable effioacy aro discovered, these obstructionists have done much to delay the establishment of resorts that would pleasantly and profitably replace the theater, or that might even be conducted as theaters in summer. In hot weather people care little for amusements unless they can have air, coolness, ease and comfort with them. And why should they not have them They are wanted, not at Staten Island, Coney Island, Harlem and Atlantic City, but in tho hearts of our cities.

Many Are Called, but Few Are Choou. When Rev. Edward Boll, lato pastor of tho Congregational church at Patchogue, came from Paw Paw, a few months ago and made a triumphal entry into the lively little village on the south side of Dong Island, he was received with all the courtesy befitting a man of his intellectual attainments, which were, perhaps, of a somewhat higher range than those to which the people of Patchogue had been accustomed. The Rev. Mr.

Bell was naturally proud of his welcome He Baw before him useful and promising career as a minister of the gospel, and ho determined to make the most of it. His early successes were proportionate to the ardor of his expectations. Soon his church was on the top wave of financial prosperity. The congregation was so large that it was with difficulty seats wero found for all; the collections made the eyes of the trustees bulge with delight, and religious enthusiasm attained suclf'an unusual pitch that it was finally decided to increase tho pastor's salary as a modest tribute to his worth as a laborer in tho vineyard. Suddenly the clouds began to gather and a shadow was cast athwart the tail of the good man's comet.

Sundry murmurs from Michigan had penetrated the Long Island wilderness and one fine day rumor alighted on tho tail of fact which came in tho form of this answer to a dispatch inquiring whether Rev. Mr. Bell had been installed as pastor of the Baptist church at Paw Paw in 1887 Yes, and expelled in 1888. It was a sad blow to tho Patchogue Congregationalism. Their clergyman, respected and trusted as ho had been, had evidently imposed upon their guileless, saline natures.

A committee of investigation was appointed and then it was ascertained, to quote the report, that Mr. Bell had no ministerial standing in the Congregational denomination and that it was a matter of grave doubt whether he had any ministerial standing in any denomination." If a British fleet had unexpectedly opened fire on the villagers they could not havo been more amazed than thoy were at these allegations, and after several conferences it was decided that the honor and good name of the church necessitated an Immediate demand for Brother Bell's resignation. That demand was made. That resignation was tendered and accepted after a stormy meeting, a precise account of which appeared last evening in our news columns. We do not know whether or not Mr.

Bell is a regularly ordained minister of the gospel. What Is certain is that he has had mony changes, and that in each trust the period of his administration was suggestively and significantly brief. Equally beyond dispute is it that the brethren at Paw Paw were induced to part with the good man in a spirit hardly reconcilable with a keen appreciation of his value as an exponent of the divine teachings. And all these things combined, we need hardly add, led the Patchogue Congregationalism to refuse Brother Bell a letter of recommendation as a Christian minister when he applied for the same under oircumstanoes of such an indisputably gloomy character. Perhaps in these facts there is material to point a moral.

What will assuredly attract attention is the restlessness of Brother Boll. He has been at New London, at West Philadelphia, at Reading, Mass. at Woodhull, N. Y. at Mansfield, Pa.

at Goshen, at Cornwall and at Seneca Falls, and, what is equally to the point, he appears to have encountered no more difficulty in changing his name than in changing his cteed. It drives me past patience," says a certain distinguished author, "that way of the men always wanting and never easy with what they've got; they can't sit comfortable in their chairs when they've got neither aohe nor pain, but either they must stick a pipe in their mouths to moke 'em bettor than well, or else they must be swallowing something strong, though they're forced to make haste before tho next meal comes in." It is a pity that Brother Bell could not remain content with one of his numerous plaoos in the interior It is especially unfortunato that he'ever came in contact with Long Island's salty atmosphere, which sharpens the wits and makes even simple minded country y1 folks display a disposition occasionally to sent imposture. But we would not be severe on Brother Bell, for among his ol claims to distinction he is tho father interesting family, in VfUoso.
