A factory which lost part of its work was partly removed.

The linen mills, the cotton mills, the silk mills, the thread mills of Europe have opened up on fuller time ever since the Democrats reduced the tariff, and to just that extent have the American mills been transferred from this Country to Europe and have the men been left here as the old employees of the Richardson Boynton firm have been left to look for work and to com pete with their fellow men for employment, acting in this way aa one of the conditions which lead to a reduction in the price of labor.

A week ago there was nothing talked of but harmony. The leaders of the warring faction had got together and were going to agree upon harmony tickets for the primaries, and everything was going to be peaceful aa tbe mead whereon the lambkins skip in early spring time. All this pleasant talk was only the prelude to one of the sharpest fights ever fought tt the Kings county primaries, but there was general understanding that after he fight wa oYer all would be quiet on Rotomac, and the winner and the Jogcr would get together in a way that would make the Christmas angels smile. There la no apparent realization of these bright anticipations. Willis and- Worth and Woodruff have spoken, but their voices apiiear to be still for war until the ambitious 'and disturbing element concerning the Identity of which there appears to be considerable room for controversy are rooted oot and exterminated.

This la not exactly the kind of harmony that the Republican party Is Brooklyn seeds. Perhaps If is inevitable that ukl be a good deal of war talk le rival leader until the result of juries Is ascertained beyond cav-jt will be within a few d--, but i that all the well wisbers0 the iblican party and of Brooklynhuit at that the leaders of both factions all recognize the decision of the people ad get together In good faith to work for the advantage of the Republican party and of tbe city of Brooklyn. The county clerk appear to have very clear Ideas about the absolute necessity for harmony In the crisis that lies before us; he should lose no opportunity to impress these ideas upon his followers. For It 1 as certain as anything can be that the conditions of the campaign of 1S97 will be entirely different from those that prevailed last fail. Then the Presidential campaign overshadowed everything else, Hnd made Republican success in this 'tnte certain, without any regard to local (ucs or factional differences.

In the it campaign next year the conditions lie entirely different, and if the Re-1 van of Brooklyn hope to accomplish ling for their city they most stand It is all bat certain that a a for the consolidated city will be lv at an early atage hi tbe com-. 1 'ron at the Legislature. There are judications that the Democrat-, zations of the two cities will TJogcther in dead earnest to secure control of the consolidated city to iamiiiacj Hall, and the Republicans cannot afford to enter the fight with any shadow of discord among them. Especially is It essential that the Republicans of this city, if they want to secure anything like fair terms tor Brooklyn, should stand together aa one man for the Interests ot their city and of their organization. These conditions are well known to all the leader ot the various faction In Brooklyn.

They should suffice to compel a cheerful acquiescence In the decision rendered by the Republican at tbe primaries lost Thursday, and to bury factionalism until tbe Interests of Brooklyn are a carefully safeguarded aa tbe action of a compact and harmonious Repub-I li-Mj organization can make them. I PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS. A despatch from Washington to-day any that Cleveland, who are tived in Washington yesterday from hi nek-shooting la in full accord with Secretary OIney in hi views to the limit of the Congressional prerogative in regard to the recognition of new Slates. It waa hardly to be expected that the Secretary of State would take such emphatic and pronounced ground on the subject unless he was as-suiid in advance of the sympathy of the President, and Secretary OIney statement as in such harmonious accord with Pivi-ijeut Cleveland's disposition and high cittiinntc of his own authority that uo om; could doubt its approval by the ex-utike.

F. C. Btewart, ot the Jamaica experiment station, eold recently, In conversation with the writer, that both the soil and climate of the Island, were well adapted to the growing of peach trees, an4 that the fanners were finding this out, and were setting out tree every season, from which good returns were expected.

This was especially true of the east end. In a section Including, Cut chogue, and Feconla. W. A. Fleet, of the first named place, waa giving a good deal of attention to this fruit.

The subject of peach growing has come up at a number of the farmers meetings. -Last year on of th questions up for discussion took this form; "Potatoes having proved a failure what sure Long Island farmers going to growf The answer mads to this question by some was: "Peaches." Mr. Btewart added to 1 -the statement alreadF'quoted from, that the peach was a quick grower, and came Into bearing sooner then almost any other orchard fruit F. A. of the experiment station, said that he ha-d observed a good many peaoh orchards on the north side of- t-ht Island, which convinced him that the raising of the fruit might become an Important Industry.

There were not only a good many trees set out In orchards, but almost everybody having a bit of ground about their houses liked to grow a few peeeh trees, end II was thw first Importance that such should not only understand the beet methods of cultivation, but also how to guard these plants against Insect enemies. One of the most to be dreaded of these waa the peach tree borer, which threatened to become troublesome In this section, espclally since a good deal more attention was being given to peaches than formerly. If the proper steps were taken, Mr. Blrrlne thought, the depredations of this enemy could be prevented, although some of the remedies which were being offered and sold were as bed If not worse, than th Insects It waa sought to ex terminate. Tbs United States Department of Agriculture, reoognlslng the Importance of this matter, has recently issued a circular describing th peach tree borer, and suggesting methods for guarding against its attacks.

Th circular was compiled by C. L. Marlatt, first assistant entomologist of the department, and from it the following extracts are made: The brownish, gummy exudations, more or less soiled with earth and th larval excrement, about tha bases of peach trees, and also, to a less extent, of the oh eery and plum, are familiar to all growers of these fruits. These exudations indicate the presence of tbe peach tree borer, which undergoes Ita development Just within the bark, mining between th bark and sapwood. often com-p etely girdling and causing the death of th treea and always greatly weakening and Injuring them.

Th parent of this larva la not often seen. It la a very slender, dark-blue moth, wasp-like In appearance, and presenting remarkable differences between th two sexes Th mimicking of th wasp Is especially noticeable in th oos of tho mala insect, th wings of which are transparent, bore dered with steel-blua, which la th general color of th body In both sexes. Th forewtng of th female are blu and clothed wHh scales, while the hindering art transparent, resembling those of th mala Th middle of th abdomen of th female Is marked by a broad orang band. Th mol expands about one inch and th femal an inch and a half or more, This insect is a native American ole, and wa described by Thomas Bay, of Philadelphia, early hi th present century. Its food, prior to th Introduction of tbo peach by Europeans, was undoubtedly mm of th wild plums and th tact that this country Is Its native horns easily explains Its wide distribution.

It occurs wherever th peach Is grown throughout the United States, our records covering th country from Main southward to th gulf, and westward to th Pacific slope. Naturally, Its presence Is most noticeable la the districts where peach growing to a prominent Industry, notably In Maryland and Delaware, and from Michigan southward throughout th upper valley of th Mississippi and Its tributaries. There to but on generation of th larva annually. Th moths appear as early as May, In th latitude of Washington, D. and southward, over what approximate th lower austral region.

In th upper austral region, roughly comprising th States above the cotton -belt and below the northern tier, th moths do siot appear until after th middle of June. In tha transition region, which com prises th northern tier of States, together prlth most of New York and New England, th moths appear mostly In July and later, emerging, however, as early as June, and belated Individuals tots as October. June and July are therefore the worst months for the moth over the principal peach districts. Tha egg to deposited on the bark, usually at or near the surfao of the ground, although rarely It may ba placed well up on th trunk or In tho crotches of th larger branches. Th egg to very minute, oval, yellowish brown in color, and Irregularly ornamented with hexagonal sculpturing.

Th young larvae on hatching to very active and immediately burrows in th mark, usually entering tha cracks. Having worked its way to th sapwood, ut sally near or below th surface of th ground, it feeds steadily through the batonoe of the summer and well Into tbo fall, constantly enlarging Ita exoavation, and causing th exudation of th gum Intermingled with excrement end fragments of th bark, which to so characteristic of Its presence. It remains dormant In th larval stats during th winter, and resumes feeding again In the following spring, reaching full growth in the central district by tha middle of June. It transform to chrysalis within an elongate, cocoon-ilka cell constructed of ita own fraa and particle of bark attached with gum and thread of silk. Tha mocha emerge very soon after the chrysalis state to assumed, usually only a few day The males appear a few days earlier than th females.

The full grown larvae attains a length of about an Inch, to rather robust, of a yellowish white color, with head and first segment brown. There ere two principal methods of preventing Injury by this Insect, via: (1) Means, mechanical and other, designed either to keep tha female moth from depositing her eggs on th trees, or at least to prevent th young larva from effecting an antra nee Into the bark; and (2) applications to th trunk, which will poison the larvae In eating In from the outside. All these preventive measures must be attended to beforo the emergence of the parent Insect, which will vary as Indicated In the different latitude. There to no better tnechnnleni protection than that recommended by Harris In 1825, which constats In removing a little of the earth about tha baa of th tree, and surrounding the trunk with a strip of shearing paper eight or nine Inehes wide, and extending two Inches below the soil, secured with strings above, and by replacing the soli about the trunk below. The wrappings may be removed In winter and renewed In June.

A more durable sheathing for th trunk, described by Dr. Llntnor, to of fine wire netting. Cylinder of this wire fifteen Inches long can be secured, It Is stated, for about 12 per 100. Ry or othetjtraw may be bound about ihe trunks of I he trees or nny similar material may ba used aa a mean of mechanical protection. An old remedy conslsta of mounding up earth a foot or so about the trunks, with the same ob- COLLEGE diplomacy.

There seems to be an immense amount of interest And an immense amount of ignorance displayed over the present Yqie-Harvard controversy. The, papers, as a rule, express a desire that the two colleges should come together in athletic contests; and there their discussion of the question ends. It will be remembered that after the football game of 95 the defeated Harvard men made certain accusations against the Yale players, at which Yale took offense, that led to the present separation between the colleges, and in the spring of 90 Harvard and Yale did not row their races on the Thames. Yale went to England and was defeated, while Harvard joined a four college race at Poughkeepsie and was also defeated by brave little Cornell. Now Harvard has entered an agreement to tow this same race In 97, and it may extend even to US.

Yale desires to row Harvard next June but she is unwilling to enter this large race. Somehow or other Yale has always succeeded in avoiding races when Cornell was entered. It is true that the Cornell crews have beaten every college that Yale has beaten and have made some very fast time. Of course that may have nothing to do with it. IV hen Yale recently made her advances to Harvard for a race this June, Harvard inrited her to" join in this four college race.

Yale then discovered thatyt would be impossible for her to row as early as as she could not be ready until June 27, which is about a week later than the college race at Poughkeepsie. Of course Cornell rows in that Poughkeepsie race, and of course that has nothing to do with Yale's stand against that date. The date is entirely too early. That is alL It is Yale's desire to row Harvard and nobody else. The desire is laudable and wise.

Yale will probably play baseball with Harvard this spring. Thret colleges cannot enter the same ball game. Independent Cornell need not be considered. The assistant city editor now goes around with a worried look on Ills face. He says that If war is declared with Spain be.

will be as badly off as be was at the breaking out of the rebellion. Then he was too young to enlist. Now be is entirely too old. Oh, he is a patriotic man The stock msAet scare over the Cuban resolutions does not appear to bave lasted very long. There is a firm tone to tin market, and it Is not liable to be seriously disturbed by nny possible complications in oar relations with Spain.

ALL FA YOB A HOSPITAL. Prominent Residents of Greenpolnt Say Such an Institution Is Imperatlvo. Blnoe the publication In Saturday's Times, urging the necessity of establishing a hospital In Greenpolnt, many of Its most prominent residents have expressed their approval of such a movement. As already stated, a number of prominent gentlemen have token the matter In hand and a subscription has already been started. It should be tacitly understood that those subscribing will not be asked to pay In their subecriptlona until all of the 11.

WO required shall have been promised. When this has been assured, a committee selected by the subscribers will be given authority to select and rent a house. Tboee desiring to subscribe can register their subscriptions at th Greenpolnt branch of the Times, th oOlc of th Greenpolnt Star and at NeleTs pharmacy, Manhattan avenue. Among those who are enthusiastically la favor of th establishment of th hospital are the following: "I think that such an Institution has long been needed In Greenpolnt." sold tb Rev, A. E.

Mac-Laurtn, of tb Union Avenue Baptist church, to a Times reporter, this morning. "Th distance from St. Catharine's and tho Eastern District hospital Is too great to admit of efficient or prompt service. Thor are many Instances where an Injured person might dls before th arrival of th ambulance surgeon, because of th long wait after a call Is sent out. This Is due solely, I am satisfied, to-the fact that th embular.ces of both hospitals are In constant us In respective districts in which they properly A movement tending to th establishment of a hospital In Uresnpoln' should be promptly responded to by Its residents." Thera are about SO.

000 souls In Oroen-polnt," said the Rev. Robert D. Bproull. of th Nobis Street Presbyterian church, 'and that, of Itself, should be a sufficient Incentive to the people of this section to promptly aid In the establishment of such an Institution as proposed. 'I aril glad to see the Times, as usual olive to th Interests of th residents of our section of th city." said ex-Deputy City Clerk W.

P. Jones. "As a medium. It should be a convincing argument of the necessity of the establlrbmert cf a hospital within th district. 8uch an Institution should bs centrally located.

The Idea of haying a dispensary attached to It. also. Is a good one." The Idee Js a good one." said Mr. Mar-yin D. Briggs, one of Greenpolnt' Influential and most philanthrope residents.

"It should meet with the approval of every on Interested In th cause of humanity and th progress of Greenpolnt or the Seventeenth ward." 'If such an Institution can bs established In Greenpolnt. said Capt. George Rhodes, of the Seventh precinct "It would certainly be a good thing. The ambulance surgeons of St. Catharine's end the Eastern District hospitals are kept to busy that they cannot respond ns promptly ns they otherwise might to calls from this section.

A Popular Calendar. Few people In these busy days are wiling to live without a calendar, to mark the passing of tlms. This fact, no doubt, accounts for the calendars of all kinds, colors, shapes and sizes, which flood the malls at this season. Among them Is that issued by N. W.

Ayer ft Son, Che "Keeping Everlastingly At It" newspaper advertising agents, of Phlladelphln. It Is not difficult to see why this calendar Is so great a favorite. The figures are large enough to be read across a room: Its hnnd-soms appearance makes worthy of a pine In he best-furnlrhed office or library, while It Is huslness-llke all the way through. Th publishers slate that the demand for this calendar hRS always exceeded the supply. This led them years ago, to place upon It a nominal price 25 cents on receipt of which.

PLATT. If Mr. Platt wants to be tbe successor to David B. Hill in the United States Senate, and all the indications are that he does, he' will be made such by the Republicans in the Legislature that is to meet next month, and the vote in his favor will be overwhelming. lie will be honored by bis party associates because of the work he has done for the party organization.

He has been tbe recognized leader of one faction of the party for a Hellas been so shrewd a leader that he has practically caused the obliteration of factional lines, and to-day be is the leader of a party that is apparently more firmly united than it has been, in this State, at any time, since the war. If the securing of thorough party organization and of party success is worthy of high reward, the reward should fall to Mr! Platt. -As Edwin D. Morgan, Will: iam Q. Seward, Reuben E.

Fenton and Boscoe Conkiiug were honored by tbe Republicans and David B. Hill was honored by the Democrats, so will Thomas Platt be honored. Tbe assemblymen who have recently been writing letters few publication and have recorded themselves in favor of Mr. Platt because of the work he did for the Republican party at the national convention tt St. Louis should at least give their real reasons for preferring the Tioga county statesmen rather than Mr.

Choate. Mr. Platt waa sent to St. Louis as one of the representatives from New York 8tate. He was the leader of all but a very few of the delegate from this State.

He performed good work there, and although the convention refused to nominate the candidate of his choice, he remained loyal Bat it I not for this that Mr. Platt is to receive the support of the Republicans in the Legislature and be elected senator. It it, instead, for the party work he has done here at borne. The small fry statesmen who are giving other than organization reasons for voting for Mr. Piatt are simply throwing taffy at him.

It were better to be honest, for it la taffy that will not stick. Gov. Mortotf ha finally refated to extend clemency to John Y. McKsne. Tbe governor has missed a great opportunity to distinguish the dosing day of his administration by an act that wouhf be applauded by nine-tenths of the citizens of Brooklyn.

UNREST I There was a desperate attempt made by the Eastern District members of. the board of education to secure tbe High school at the last meeting of the board. Had that attempt failed, there were methods to be used that would persuade the board by the next monthly meeting. Tbe attempt was desperate, and wonlij have continued deeper at, la order that the school might have been woa aa soon as possible. There was no one interested who desired to see the matter postponed.

The feeling was now or sever. The merchants of the city, the real estate exchange and Individual real estate dealers have petitioned the city officials to make some provision for an immediate additional supply of water. Tbe city works department has declared that we have water enough for five year to come. But still these Interests, who feel that oar water supply is not adequate for a copious use, demand Improvement. They are not willing to wait for it They must have it now and at once.

Immediately" la their cry. In short, all over this great city there is a feeling of unrest and uneasiness. The improvements which are In mind, and there are many, are demanded at once. Impatience Is the order of the day. A feverish dread of the future seems to be In every man's mind.

A fear of something that is to come, of conditions that are to change conditions, of an alteration in the source of municipal Improvements. Can it be that the city la not traveling jrlth a face entirely enveloped la smiles towards tbe Greater N'ew York transformation I THE TRANSFER OF INDCITRT. Brooklyn has a practical demonstration of wbat.ha taken place ever since the Democrats came into power in 1893, and, la fact, ever since Cleveland waa elected, in 1892, and the country knew that a redaction in the tariff waa about to be effected The Richardson and Boynton Stove Works, which have been one of the leading industries of Brooklyn, are to be moved to Dover, N'. J. The employee of tbe firm are greatly dismayed over the sudden determination of the company to gq to the neighboring State.

It baa been known for some time that the company waa building a factory in N'ew Jersey, bat it was not kuowu until recently that Jhe move was to be made at this time. VEvt dismays the employee exceedingly ia thetact that they have all been discharged and that not one of them boa been rehlred for employment in tbe new factory. They bave been turned off peremptorily. They are in a sad Condition of uncertainty. They know not whether to look for work elsewhere, or whether to hold themselves hi readiness for removal to the new plant The position of this firm to Ita employee certainly lacks generosity.

There seems to be a desire to freeze out tbe old But the firm must bave some reason for ita refusal to give the men any satisfactory answer when they desire to know whether they are to go with the removal or are discharged finally. Such occurrence as this foment the 111 feeling between labor and capital. They are as reprehensible a violent striking. The Times desire to call attention to another phase of this The removal of this plant from Brooklyn to New Jersey takes work away from 400 Brooklyn men and gives It, presumably, to 400 N'ew Jerecyltes. The removal of any plant would have tho same effect were it done he same way.

In later year, very good success has been had by coatlnff tbs trunks with a vary heavy coating of whitewash, which may mad more tough and persistent with the addition of a little glue or soft soap. All of these applications should extend from a few Inches below the surface of th ground upward to a height of one foot to eighteen Inches. In th case of th lhn coatings, th applications may extend up to th lower branches.

Unit preferably scraping off tha loos bark. "Somewhat allied to mechanical protections are application to the trunk which are obnoxious to the moths, and which may prevent them from ovipositing. Carbolic acid washes are perhaps th best for this purpose, and various formula have been given. Dr. Llnlner quotas Mr.

Bateman, of Palneevllle, as having had good success with th following wash: 00 pint of crude carbollo arid oe one-half pint refined acid, combined with a gallon of good soft soap, and the whole diluted with th addition of eight gallons of soft water. The wash to applied thoroughly with a brush, care being token to wet all th crevkxa. "The following similar wash to recommended by J. H. Hale, th srell-knowa peach grower, of Connecticut: Two quarts of strong soft ooap and half a pint of crude carbollo acid, with two ounce it Faria green, are thoroughly Incorporated tn bucketful of water and enough lima nnd day added to make a tjtia pasta.

Mr. Blrrtna, of tho experiment station at Jamaica, sold that tt waa Important for fruit grower to bo extremely careful about making applications to th bark of peach trees, as there were poison which would kill Insect pests.

Every suggestion as to legal or managerial modification in the size of hats women shall wear at the theater is based on a curiously impractical view not only of hats but of women.

There should be no such thing as a theater hat. Women should either wear hats at the theater or they should not. To attempt to regulate the size of the hat which they shall wear presupposes some final court of appeal in the theater or out of it. Who (hall be this judge Who shall say when the aigrette or the feather or the wired bow has passed the dead line marked by the enactment I Who shall order the offender into the foyer to face the hat inquisitor Who shall see fragile creations of millineric genius bent or lopped off or tilted to one side to bring them within the regulations as to height 7 Who shall thus tempt the amirk of the cynic; the giggle of the dude I No, it la impossible. Woman must either wear no hat or ahe must wear the hat she chooses.

As matter of fact, there never would have been any trouble about women's bats in the theater had It not been for the theater hat delusion the delusion that there can be a hat of any sise whatever that will not be a grief, an annoyance, an imposition at the theater. No woman feels' the offense that lies in her own hat. To frown at the woman In front and forget tbe stage-obliterating contrivance tangled like a hat in the meshes of her own braids, is os characteristic of a woman at the theater aa any other of her peculiar and perplexing traits. But it is such little hat Yea, yes. Did any mortal at the theater, any male mortal not in the front row, ever foil to observe tbe fearful and wonderfully obatrnctire capacity of small hats I Bad aa they are, it may be said for the big hats that yon always know where they are.

Yon can dodge them In pain and anguish, bat yon can dodge them. With the little hats it is different. They are always in the way. They fret yonr eye at every turn, as so many yelping little terriers might worry yonr feet ia the street. Let ns have no more compromises under the malicious label of "theater hats." Let all persons be required to remove their hats at the theater.

Let this order give no discrimination on account of sge, sex or previous condition of servitude. Woman is sitting up night trying to think of new ways of wiping stray sex discrimination. Let na help along the new era at the theater. THE RAID AT SHERRY. A squad ot New York police, under the command of Copt Chapman, raided Sherry's, at tb corner of Fifth avenue and Thirty -seventh street, early Sunday morning.

It wal not because there was a belief that the Raines law was being Violated or that there was a prise fight or other riotous proceedings within the building. Life hi Sherry was, in fact being lived tbe same as on any other night There waa tbe usual number of lata diners and drinkers and -tbe usual decorous and ultra-fashionable jollity was in progress in various parts of the big restaurant Sherry's is a mighty respectable place, and on of the most fashion able and high priced in New York. But the police proceeded with their arrangements for the raid just as though tbe resort waa a dive in one of the lower nd less fragrant parts of the town. Officers were stationed at each entrance, and after tbe captain had assured himself that everything was in readiness he, accompanied by two ward men, brushed past the lackeys at one of tbe doors, ami, possibly with thought of some recent descent on a west side crap game, ran double quick to one of the smaller ballrooms, where a dinner was being aerved to twenty-two young men to celebrate the approaching throwing off of the tlca of bachelorhood of one of the number. The captain put the whole company under practical arrest and therj sought for a reason for his strange action.

It appeared then that the captain had heard from some source or other that among the variety perforpera who bad been hired to entertain the young men between the speeches of felicitation to the coming benedict, there was one young woman an who might do something that waa not within the strictest bounds of propriety. The raid woa to prevent, that exhibition nnd to arrest all who were there to witness it. It 'was found that, there was nothing out of place abont the diners or about the performers, and tbe captain left the place. After dispersing the crowd that had gathered in the street the captain marched his men back to the station house. If anything was being done at Sherry's tli.

it whs in violation of law It was Capt. Chapmans privilege and his duty to raid the place. The law is no respecter or protector of restaurants of high degree to any greater extent fiiau of low degree. Sherrys, however, is powerful and widely knoiyn. If it were noUit is Irohable that the bald would never have been given publicity.

There was no record of tbe doings of Capt. Chapman nnd hid squad of policemen on the station house blotter, and it apfieared td be the intention to suppress the failure. The liulicaliofs are that had the raid been THE REVIVAL MOVEMENT. A Weeks Servlet to bs Held In tbo First Reformed Church.
