If on them by demolishing the globes over the doors of the Clermont avenue rink, where' the flimsy tournament took place. Their outburst of disorder, while it should have led to many arrests, is a fitting climax to the 'disturbance created by the fraternity in this town. Let us hope that the last has been seen of the professional bruisers in Brooklyn. the 87 years their franchise runs.

Mr. Board man thought the situation confronting his company was sufficiently serious to warrant the appointment of a commission to look into the subject. He would give the commission all the authority the law wonld allow and require it to report to the legislature. Beyond the appointment of a committee to confer further on the subject of removing the tracks, the conference took no definite action. Whether anything tangible will be done to improve the condition of the street is an open question.

While every impartial person knows that there is room for improvement, it equally apparent that the railway companies can be induced to undertake the work only on terms most advantageous to themselves. Until the corporations perceive some way of lightening the burden to be imposed nothing better than delay or obstruction can be expected from their representatives. Meanwhile, it is idle contend for complete abandonment of the avenue as a channel for railway traffic. Brooklyn, at this stage of municipal development, is not going to shut itself out of the adjacent territory by giving up the only line of railway its command. The tracks, as soon as it can be legally and conveniently done, should be placed below the surface by means either of a tunnel or an open cut.

They should under no circumstances be permanently removed from the line of Atlantic avenue. Eft 1 Final Adjudications Handed Down at Albany To day. Albajot, N. March 7 The following decisions were handed down in the court of appeals to day: In resettlement of account of F. C.

FOUND BIDDEN BEHIND THE BAR. A Young: 'man From the of Kef age Arretted. Martin Dugan, a young man who lives at 500 Washington street, New York, and who was recently released from the house of refuge, forced an entrance to the saloon of John Morris, at 493 Washington street, early this morning. The saloon has been brokon into several times within the past month, and when Police man Doherty of tho Prince street station house saw a light burning in the saloon ho thought something was wrong. The officer discovered that one of the panes of glass in the door had been broken and that the door had been unlocked from the inside.

Doherty pushed the door open and on searching the saloon he found Dugan hidden away behind the bar. Dugan was placed under arrest, and at Jefferson market court Justice Grady held him for trial.

INTERESTING NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS. Bow the Commercial Advertiser Does Not Read the Morning Advertiser. New York Commercial Advertiser, March 6, '03. It appears to us that the editor of tho Brooklyn Eaole need not have been so particular to state that Mr. Cleveland always pays his railroad fare, hotel bills, cab faro.

etc. Wo should like to see Mr. Cleveland try to evade the payment of a cab fare and certainly no one has ever insinuated that the twice elected President of this republic has been in the habit of backing up to a peanut stand, naving nis coat tau pockets obarged with peanuts and, at the same time, requesting the son of sunny Italy to also cnarge tne peanuts. New York Morning Advertiser, March 2, 1893.J Mr. Cleveland will start for Washington to day on a special consecrated railway train placed at his service by the Baltimore and Ohio company.

When he went to Washington eight years ago to be inaugurated as President he was compelled to inquire the. way. He now knows how to reach the capital. The fact that he is the guest of an odious corporation snould not disturb the populists and the wild eyed Democrats who are always inveighing against the capitalists, because the great Democratic leaders are all 'afflicted with the weaknesses common to humanity. They howl about the encroachments of the corporations and trusts upon the rights of the dear people, but they never fail to take advantage of all that is in sight.

No people in the world have 6uch enormous appetites for terrapin, canvosbaok duck, pate de foie gras, Mumm's extra dry and Chambertln as these same simple minded, bucolio, labor loving Dem ocratic bosses. Bbooklvn Daily Eaole. March 2, 1893. The esteemed Morning Advertiser is' respectfully informed that Grover Gleveland paid out of his own pocket the entire expense of the special train bearing his family and his friends to the federal capital to day; that he did the same as to the special train from Albany to Washington on March 2, 1884; that he always pays his fare and that of his housenold on all railroad trips and their bills at all hotels, as well as for tickets to all entertainments which he or they attend; and that instead of "having to ask the way to Washington In 1884," his journey to that city, to assume the presidency in that year, was not the first but the seventh one that he had made to the town. As there is nothing Apolitical" In these facts and as they relieve a political opponent of the Advertiser from discreditable imputations, that paper, we assume, will find pleasure in putting itself by its words as right on the reoord as Grover Cleve land has always put aunseii by nls acts, ne never deadheads.

New York Morning Advertiser, March 3. 1893.1 We are assured by tho editor of the Bbooklto Eaole, who is very close to Mr. Cleveland, that the BDeclal train which vesterdav bore him to the capital was paid for out of the Cleveland exchequer. We ore further assured that Mr. Cleveland never deadheads.

We are happy to know this. It Is very undemocratic to denounce the big railway corporations and then accept favors at their hands. IS EEBOB AS TO THE EAGLE. "Tn timn nf nrpnaro for war" is a sound axiom. Its complement is obvious: Preparation for war is a preservation of peace.

The Brooklyn Eaole may be said just now to speak with authority. Atoany journal 1, the facile instrument of the tracks Mr. Flynn shapes his rulings and decisions invariably on that side. Nevertheless, he will be beaten, if the legislature pays the least deference or attention to the remonstrances of law and order elements throughout the state. The climax of the struggle for repeal cannot be long delayed.

If the repealers fail to carry the con test should be renewed before the people un til the blacklegs are driven from the control they have impudently usurped. Secretary Carlisle's Difficulties Of all the members of the cabinet whose ap pointments by the President were on Monday confirmed by the senate, the secretary of the treasury has to face the most complicated and embarrassing problems. As at this critical time Mr. Carlisle takes command of his im portant office, it is but fair to the record that the next four years will make or mar for him, to consider the condition of the treasury and to review the ship endous difficulties that he has to encounter. Following the worst, the weakest and the least experienced secretary of the treasury that has had the management of the financial department of the government since its organization, it is well for the nation that Mr.

Carlisle is a man of such tested ability, such broad and statesmanlike views combined with such conservatism of action. That is what the country needs at this time. Mr. Foster has seen or, if he has not himself perceived, his advisors have informed him, that the country lay broadside on to a wave of finan cial danger. What was his reply to such statements? He said that his responsibility would end on March 4, and as long as the ship of state weathered the gale until that time he didn't care what happened.

It was an Ohio version of "after me the deluge." It would be well for the country under any circumstances that, in so vitally important a post, a statesman and a student should succeed a country shopkeeper with a need of armor plates down his spinal column. Under the present circumstances it is an undisguised blessing. As Mr. Carlisle assumes control of the treasury he finds two things threatening him. One is deficiency in the revenues.

The other is a disappearance of the gold reserve. Accordiug to a recent estimate made by Mr. Foster on July 1, the available cash balance in the treasury would only be $17,000,000, and that on the end of the fiscal year begin ning on that day there would be a deficiency. At the time Mr. Foster submitted his special estimate to the ways and means committee of the house, about a month ago, tho Ebgle pointed out that this estimate wa3 largely in excess of what the actual facts of the case warranted.

In one particular this has since been confirmed by Mr. Foster himself, who dropped his estimate 3,000,000 on a falling off in receipts and on an increase in the amount which would have to be paid out in settlement of Indian claims. These were two of the points then made in the Eagle. Even after this re duction of the estimated available balance, Mr. Foster seems to have erred on the roseate and sanguine side.

Pension payments promise to be this year, as they were last, nearly $10,000,000 heavier than his estimate, and the revenues already give evidence of a decrease of at least $2,000,000. If this is so, on July 1, the available balance will not he much more than $5,000,000. This would be a decrease of $21,000,000 in one year and, in round numbers, of $50,000,000 since Mr. Foster assumed charge of the country's finances. This decrease in tho nation's bank account is chiefly important because it multiplies the difficulties in Mr.

Carlisle's way. Congress and not Mr. Foster has been to blame for extravagant expenditures which have sponged out large balances. The recent secretary of the treasury, however, is entirely to blame for the condition in which he has left the treasury gold. At a time when balances were large and when he had abundant means and power to check the absorption of the precious metal by Europe, he should have had foresight enough and strength enough to have taken the necessary steps.

He could and should have done two years or even one year ago as was done in 1885 and 1886, that is, to have retired, temporarily, some of the surplus currency and thus to have changed the outward current of gold into one that flowed this way. What Mr. Manning and Mr. Fairchild had done, Mr. Foster could have done.

He failed, however, to seize this tide in affairs, and the present critical condition, the present feeling of nervousness, both in Europe and America, have resulted. These are the causes and conditions which make the problems which Mr. Carlisle has be fore him to solve. Not since the war has a secretary of the treasury had so tortuous and dangerous a path before him. One misstep might plunge the country into panic and commercial disaster.

Both Mr. Carlisle and he who appointed him and whose directions he will carry out are men of calm brains, clear sight, firm grasp and cautious step. Both have backbones of welded iron. By such men as these the precipitous, path may safely be traversed and the country guided into the pleasant and peaceful valley of prosperity. Shall the Tracks be Depressed? Nothing particularly new was developed at yesterday's hearing before the mayor on the Atlantic avenue problem.

Property owners south of the thoroughfare are still clamorous for removal of the surface tracks. Mr. Austin Corbin, president of the Long Island Bail road company, set forth in response to then demands the company's position. Mr. Corbin expressed himself in favor of depressing the tracks.

Ho declared that he had never entertained any other view of the avenue's future. The main point at issue is that of expense. The Long Island Railroad company, according to Mr. Corbin, cannot at an outside estimate bear more than one half of the outlay. Incidentally Mr.

Corbin announces the organization of the New York, New Jersey and Eastern railroad, intended to connect Brooklyn and Jersey City by tunnel. The connection will be between the Pennsylvania and Long Island ronds. The new company, Mr. Corbin says, wants to reach the surface at Flatbush avenue. If Atlantic avenue above that point is relieved of surface traffic it will be necessary for him and his colleagues to change their plans in that respect.

Mr. Corbin and his counsel were nnxious to learn what the Atlantic avenue company would do toward paying for the improvement. The answer of Mr. Boardman, on behalf of the Atlantic avenue company, not very encouraging. That corporation, it will be re membered, claims ownership in fee to the center of the avenue.

Mr. Boardman pointed out that the tracks occupied by the Long Island company were leased from the Atlantic avenue company, which received a percentage of the earnings of the former for rental, or about $50,000 a year. The scheme suggested, counsel argued, necessitated an expenditure of $1,750,000 for which the company became liable. While the Atlantic avenue company would get no more rent out of tho street they would have an increased interest charge of $87, 750, which would wipe out their rovenues and impose a cuarge of 27,000 per year for is to at I The Democratic blood in David A. Boody's and Felix veins did not rebel against such refusal.

On the contrary, they rightly realized thut the fewness of those for prohibition should not be held to justify the request they made, but that the many against should be held to justify the refusal of request of the few. That is the way others feel now about this demand for a vote on consolidation. There is 110 sentiment for it in Brooklyn other than what there has always been. The room full for it gTows no larger by increase and does grow smaller by death. No more call exists or seems to exist for ordering a vote on it than ordering a vote on Christian science, woman suffrage or any other pallid ism here.

The un Democratic thing would, it seems, be putting of all to the expense and burden a vote wanted by none, except a few who formidable neither wnen woignea nor counted. The Eagle will be glad to note what the esteemed citizens favoring the project have to to the bosses' legislature and what action bosses' legislature will take on what the esteemed citizens have to say. Almoner of Patronage. Congressman John M. Clancy is a brave man.

If he were not he would hasten to con tradict the report that he has been "officially designated by Hugh McLaughlin to represent him in the federal administration in all mat ters connected with patronage." Precisely how one holding no official place can "officially designnte" anybody to do anything is apparent only to the oracles who at Washington un dertake to enlighten the outer world. What more probable than any 'official" designa tion is an intimation to Mr. Clancy from the boss of the Democratic machine that the congressman shall pick up all the crumbs can for the "boys." Incidentally, Mr. Clancv will act as a buffer between indi viduals ambitious to serve the nation and leaders anxious for exemption from importunity. When, like the Assyrian, the spoils hunters come down on the Willoughby street fold will be convenient to refer them to Mr.

Clancy. That will save the machine leader and the "trusted lieutenants" a great deal of trouble and serve them a handsome turn. The successful will be grateful to their honored leader. The disappointed will pour out their imprecations on the hardworking congress men. The machine managers will find their "personal comfort" unruffled.

The congressman will be a lightning rod for diversion of the popular wrath. The mighty task before Mr. Clancy is not experimental. Of the peril he incurs ample warning has been given. Less than eight years have passed since Mr.

"William A. Furey entered the breach in a similar capacity. After Mr. Cleveland's first election to the presi dency Mr. Furey, then, as now, commissioner jurors and secretary of the Democratic general committee, was selected to distribute the federal offices apportioned Kings county.

A regular patronage bureau, something after the fashion of employment agency, was established. There the 'claims," antecedents and political status of applicants were studied and sifted. Whoever passed muster at the bureau was recommended for appointment. Some of thse recommended did not get what they were look ing for. Many others could not secure the poor boon of a recommendation.

Before he had bean at work many weeks Mr. Furey dis covered that there were more pegs than holes For every person recognized or rewarded with federal place a score of others were necessa rily passed over. Mr. Furey used his besi energy to make the quota of places go around. His failure was as signal as his endeavor was earnest and persistent.

What he attempted was a mathematical and physical impossi bility. Equally impossible was the effort placate the rejected office seekers. In their rage they regarded tthe man who had tried to serve them as an implacable enemy. Their anger and resentment were very clearly displayed when Air. Furey ran for sheriff, in 1887, on the Democratic ticket.

The preceding Democratic nominee had been elected by 14,000 majority. The succeeding Democratic sheriff was chosen by 20,000. Yet Mr. Furey, a hardworking Democrat, was beaten by over 7,000. His defeat was due to the treachery of dissatisfied Democrats who "had it in" for him, because they had not been admitted to the custom house or navy yard, and improved the first opportunity to "get even." For the very men who knifed him, Mr.

Furey had done the best that circumstances woidd permit. The extent of then hostility shows what every man must expect who accepts responsibility for distribution of partisan spoils. In taking the post he signs his own political death warrant. There is some consolation for Mr. Clancy in the fact that he represents in congress a "safe" district.

His majority, at the last election, in a total vote of 35,000, was 7,156. This, even if Mr. Clancy is compelled to turn down divers of his immediate constituents, is a handsome margin to go upon. From its size and security the representative of the Second district should derive whatever comfort he may, for Mr. Clancy, after accept ing tho unwelcome mission to which he has been assigned, will never dare to run for any office other than that he at present fills.

To others he must leave the dis tinction of the mayoralty, the golden fees of the sheriff, the register and the county clerk, and the loftier honor of the governor ship. The army of the disappointed, finding his name on a general ticket, would, as their refined vocabulary might put it, "cut the life out of him at the polls." In his district, af ter existence has been made a burden, Mr. Clancy may pull through. Outside of district lines his responsibilites as almoner will kill him, in politics, as dead as a mackerel. Mr.

Clancy's task will be all the harder for the reason that he, like the organization for which he assumes to speak. was vehemently opposed to the nomi nation of Grover Cleveland for President. While Mr. Cleveland may overlook the falter ing of the faint hearted or tho personally hostile before tho convention, he is hardly the man reiish the erection of an office broking establishment or a patronage shop. Honesty and capacity will count for a great deal more with the President and his constitutional ad visers than the approval or disapproval of all the almoners and machines between Galveston harbor and Paget Sound.

The chief sufferer by the suggested arrangement will be the al mouer himself. still fScsitatinfr. The New Jersey legislature still hesitates to repeal the iniquitous race track legislation of February. Although public sentiment in the state is overwhelmingly against the new laws members are slow to answer its demands. All the influence that a corrupt combination can exercise is being brought to bear in behalf of the gamblers.

The instant and phenomenal demnnd for the Eagle Almanac this year entirely exhausted the first edition within a month after its pub ucation. That edition ran into very largo numbers, so large in fact, that they were ex peoted to meet the demand for the entire year, but the great desire for the Almanac was not sufficiently measured by the publishers.

A new edition has been published and will be on sale to morrow morning. Every papre of the Almanac has been carefully revised and cor Noted up to date. All changes in offices at Albany and "Washington which have taken place since the first edition was published have been noticed. Several important local addi tions, such as the committees of the board of rapervisors and other late appointments like wise find a place.

A not disinterested but earnest committe of Brooklynites will be in Albany to morrow in the hope of a hearing on behalf of a bill to consolidate Brooklyn, New York and terri tory contiguous to them into a single city. The committee had a meeting on Monday night, of which an adequate re port appears in to day's Eagle.

Any reasons for consolidation or annexation which exist have been kept profoundly seere'. Such sub stitutes for reasons as liavo been set forth have been amusing, without being ingenious. We presume there are no reasons or that they are reserved for expression at Albany, in which case both as reasons and as novelties they will make interesting reading. The Eaole notes with regret signs of bad blood among the consohdationists. It exists between those who would welcome Mayor Boody to their ranks and those who would repel him as a reinforcement.

Those who would welcome him say very pleasant things about him. Those who would repel him fear that his advent is not unconnected with some occult intention to put the new movement to sleep. Until this feud is appeased progress can hardly be truthfully reported. The Eagle trusts that, so far as Mr. Boody is concerned, the consolidationists may be happy yet.

Mr. Boody, as the Eaole understands the case, thinks that as consolidation and the Panama scandal did not enter into his canvass when he was elected, it would be unbecoming in him officially to say anything about either subject. Personally, however, he regards the proposition that the people have an opportunity to vote yes or no on consolidation to be a Democratic proposition which they should be allowed and which he as a Democrat should support. He believes also that a popular vote here should be conclusive on the subject and that the consolidationists, if outvoted, should shut up. He would have them accept an adverse vote as conclusive against them and their movement.

He, therefore, takes occasion to remark that the pending bill provides for no effect to be given to or to be drawn from such an adverse vote. He notices that the bill provides for annexation to go right on, whether the people here vote the project hp or down. He favors the amendment of the measure, so as to require a voted verdict here against it to be conclusive. The Eagle has called attention to this feature of the bill heretofore. Our own suggestion, which the mayor has also made his, has been met by the declaration that one legislature cannot lay its inhibitive hand on another legislature, and that the incorporation of such an idea into the bill would make it unconstitutional.

Those who thus contend do not deny that the voted defeat of the project here migh1. and should have a morally determining effect on the next legislature. They maintain that to say in terms that it must have an effect on such legislature would be unconstitutional. The quarrel among the consolidationists is thus rather on terms than alxrat things. On that very account the quarrel seems the more bitter.

It must be composed, if the present legislature is to have, to rind or be nhWr rrutlri or Hssumft anv renson for not LA.ntu fr.H tun Iwi Aside from this quarrel and aside from the fearful and wonderful question of whether the next legislature should be instructed to give significance to the vote here, or should give significance to it without instruction, is this matter. Why of itself in a proposition to let people vote on a subject Democratic? There are more prohibitionists than consolidationists in Brooklyn. The few prohibitionists here, added to those elsewhere in the state, number nearly 40,000. For years they have asked for the submission to a popular vote of a prohibition amendment to the state constitution. Republican and Democratic legislatures have repeat it the for the of are say the is he it of to an a to I The Advance Agent at Work.

The advance agent is a person who "goes ahead of the show," hires rooms at the hotel for the actors usually the worst in the house sees that the fences and stables are properly, or improperly, decorated with red, blue, green and yellow falsehoods, bespeaks crockery and furniture that may be needed by the property man, puts his advertisement in the paper, pays $5 for it, asks for $400 worth of puffs and moves on to the next town. Formerly he was in the habit of spending an hour or two of the busiest part of the day with the dramatic editor and entertaining him with an account of the amount of business done in Kankakee and Kalamazoo, the superior number of dollars "played to" in Oshkosh over the Willard and Modjeska attractions at rival theaters, the advance sale of seats at Ann Arbor and the cost of transporting the baggage from Harrisburg to Wheeling. When the dramatic editor was at the point of death he would insist on his smoking a five cent cigar, or would smoke one himself and breathe on him, and tell him about the percentage of gain over last year in the attendance at Tallahassee, the number of three sheet posters used in "billing" Peoria, the refusal of the P. D. Q.

and B. and S. K. K. to make more than a 10 per cent, rebate on tickets for the company between Harrodsburg and Trenton, and other facts for which the great public was thirsting.

All this delayed the production and delivery of copy, and after a time it became customary for dramatic editors to kill the advance agent. At least, they thought they were killing him, but experiment has proved that it is impossible to kill an advance agent. The advance agent fell down seven floors or winked when his hair was filled with bullets and ink, and went to the next office, to do his duty to his employers. The locking or doors was then tried with better effect and, finding that he could no longer command the time of the dramatic editor, he bethought himself of taking possession of the news columns. Then began a series of exploits that have roused the envy and wonder of business men and that make the methods of conducting tho London Lyceum, the Comedie Francaisa and the Imperial Opera seem almost rural in their simplicity.

The pubUcwas apprised of bloody rows in dressing rooms; long lost relatives were recognized in the middle of a performance by people in the audience; actors were arrested by mistake on the supposition that they were "bank burglars; diamonds were stolen, by the quart; once in a while there was even a divorce; one woman was continually escaping from burning hotels another woman carried snakes and tigers with her; one mau had to ride on horse cars to avoid being shot by a girl who was infatuated with him. These apprisals are supposed to increase the box of fice receipts. Do they? Two manifestations of the advance agent's ingenuity have appeared within a few hours. They merit praise because they are aside from the routine of his recent work. They involve neither jewelry nor reputations ex cept the advance agent's reputation, and he cares nothing about that.

One recites the mobbing of a woman base ball club in Cuba, and the other narrates the frightening of the Bridgeport elephants by mice. The mice were let loose among the elephants and the big beasts recoiled in terror, trumpeting and somersaulting and trying to climb up the side of the house in their anxiety to get away. These things ore unusual and readable. They prove that both Cubans and elephants know a bad thing when they see it, and they prove that the advance agent of to day, though more fertile minded than his predecessor, maintains his child liko faith in his own ability to inter est the public and earn his wages. A Trifle Belated.

Albert Daggett a Democrat 1 The report is naturally received with mingled amazement and incredulity. Until it is confirmed Kepub licans will withhold rejoicings over their deliverance. Democrats, too, will not disclose the effect on their sensibilities till they are cock sure that the calamity has occurred. Pending confirmation speculation will not be idle as to whether the alleged conversion is a matter of conviction or eviction. Has the ex sheriff gone out to escape being put out or because he has been put out Time will tell.

There is a world of pathos in Mr. Daggett's remark that "the Republican party is no good anyhow." "If," he plaintively adds, "you get anything they want to take it away from you and it attempts to kill you just as soon as you accomplish anything for yourself." Too bad! isn't it? The Republican party has been very unkind to Mr. Daggett. It only made him a clerk in the state department, a deputy of internal revenue, an under sheriff, a sheriff of Kings county, a government weighing contractor, a state senator and a postal card contractor. These were feeble recognitions of his remarkable ability and versatility.

The wonder is that it did not make him President. A matter ot tact reporter once described a local politician as "turning a somersault." A hypercritical city editor made the nolitician "describe a handspring." Whichever, if either, Mr. Daggett has done, would seem a trifle be lated. Mr. Daggett, on November 8, 1892, was as pernicious a partisan of Harrison and Reid as there was on the continent.

Why should he be a Democrat now Impeachment not Necessary. It is not necessary for the friends of law and order in the New Jersey house of representatives to impeach Speaker Flynn. He is the creature of that body and was elected to pre side over it by the votes of its members. If his rulings in the matter of race track legislation do not satisfy the members they have the power to place a man in the chair who will do their will. The process of impeachment is too complicated for use when a much simpler device will bring about the desired result.

If charges were to be brought against the speaker they would have to be charges affecting his conduct as a member of the house and not as its presidiug officer. They would lead to his retirement to private life if they were proved. No one desires to go so far as that. Hs represents a district which is entitled to a voice in the government of the state. The respectable element in the legislature claims to have enough votes to repeal the offensive rase track laws and defeat is feared because of the speaker's hostility.

This should not cause a moment's uneasiness. If the choir refuses to allow the question to come to a vote, any member may appeal from his decision, and if he refuses to put the appeal that member may put it from his own seat. In the same way the speaker can be removed and a man not bound hand and foot to the race track gang may be chosen to preside for the remainder of the session. Mr. Harrison at Home.

The reception which the people of Indianapolis gave to Benjamin Harrison on his return to his home and to private life was hearty, sincere and sympathetic. Under ordinary circumstances it would be gratifying to him, but he came back alone when he had gone away with his wife by his side. The personal bereavement which had come to him gave the citizens an opportunity to express their personal kindliness whioh they would not have had if Mrs. Harrison had lived. The ex President returned to a house which had lost its most attractive occupant.

Soon after his arrival in the city he visited his dead wife's grave accompanied by his daughter. Then he went to the state house, where the governor and his fellow citizens gave him a hearty welcome. Mr. Harrison made a speech in which he made brief and modest reference to what had been done during his term of office. In referring to the time which had passed since his der parture he said: "Jf should consult heart and mind I should say ten years had elapsed since said goodby to my Indianapolis friends.

Not the rising and setting of the sun, but our experiences give the true sense of Then he said: "I left you with but one certainty and I return with that the certainty that I had no other motive in my heart than the honor of the flag and sacredness of the constitution and the prosperity of all onr people." The cheers which this statement provoked indicated that the men who knew him believed him. He has also impressed upon the whole nation the belief that his desire was to do the right. The applause which was heard in the Indiana state house will bo echoed in every hamlet in the country. It is a good record which he takes with him to his home and to his friends. A New Era in Charities.

The men who participated in the exercises accompanying the presentation of the United Charities building, at Fourth avenue and Twenty second street, New York, to the public were fully impressed with the importance of the event. All who are familiar with the history and purpose of the building are also conscious of the significance of the occasion. John Stewart Kennedy saw the need of con centration in tho charitable work of the city and he thought that it could be brought about by the establishment of a common center of charitable work. So he decided to erect a building and devote it to the use of four of the leading non sectarian philanthropic organizations of the city of New York. These are, in his opinion, the Children's Aid society, the New York City Mission and Tract society, the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor and the Charity Organization society.

In his presentation speech yesterday evening Mr. Kennedy said that the people had come together to celebrate the establishment for the first time of a charitable center to which the benevolent might re fer applicants for relief, and where the needy might have their wants considered. It was his desire that tho building should be the home not of four organizations only, but of all the charities of tho city. The greater the number of societies represented in it the nearer would it come to accomplishing the ob ject of erection. Ex Mayor Hewitt, who made the dedicatory address, thought that the occasion marked a distinct epoch in the his tory of the city only to be compared with two other events, the opening of the Erie canal and the introduction of pure Croton water.

He as serted that society was bound to provide for the poor and to demand the enactment of laws which would diminish pauperism and crime. Superfluous wealth, in his opinion, should be used for the relief of the superfluity of pov erty. Various reforms which were necessa ry could now receive the nttention of the public spirited citizens with the certainty that progress would be made. The Catholics and the Hebrews were represented at the meeting as well as the Protestants and the municipality. The building is large and well adapted for the use to which it is to be put.

Mr. Kennedy has placed himself high on the list of the phi lanthropists of New York. Banishing: the Bruisers. Mayor Boody has interposed a salutary check to the brutal professional pugilists who disgrace Brooklyn by their presence. His order to the police department to close the doors against thoso coarse violators of law and decency should be the means of checking a shameful abuse.

Under the convenient dis qui6e of "amateur athletics" the ruffians in question have for months engaged in the cheerful pastime of "smashing" one another. They have thereby furnished a species of "amusement" to the short haired fraternity and earned many dollars for themselves and their backers. While the contests were described as 'glove exhibitions" they were nothing more nor less than prize fights given for money making purposes. The event that evoked Mayor Boody's wrath was the contemplated exhibition of the Hampton Athletic club. An investigation showed that the so called "club" consisted of two or three bruisers and half a dozen brokon down "sports." The mayor very properly ordered Captain McKel vey to enforce the municipal ordinance which prohibits fistic encounters except under the direction of a genuine association of athletes.

Of the consequent interference by the police the result was gratifying. The 1,800 spectators who allowed themselves to be deluded into visiting the show, in face of the positive warning they received, deserved to lose their entranco fees. The bruisers and speculators were kept closely, within bounds. Professionals were not permitted to appear. So wretched was the display imposed on the assemblage that a majority of the spectators retired in irritation and disgust.

Oharacter lsticolly they avenged the deception practiced.
