Policemen, it is well known, are not always to be found at the critical moment, and a barbed wire screening sometimes valuable as serving to thwart the ambition of cranks. It certainly is not pleasant to reflect that the finest aerial highway in the world is just now being more talked about, because of the use made of it by tho demented, than because of anything else. Even as a method of suicide, bridge jumping has no claim to novelty. It is the silliest of all feats, and those who try it should be held up to public notice as types of the worst form of insanity. Enjoyment on a Corgro Scale at Klilg wood Park.

Yesterday was a gala day at Deckelmaivn's Ridge wood Park. Cannons boomed, banners wa.vod and the bands played.

After wit nessing the parade the crowd surged through the park, visiting the farmhouse, which was bunt four years ago for the society, where they indulged in sauerkraut and frankfueters served up in true German style.

An elegant young man from Brooklyn, wearing a bizarre suit with room to let trousers and a Mackinaw straw hat with barber pole band around it, escorted five or six young ladies into the Grand Union billiard room this morning. He was just dying for a game of billiards, he said, and promised to show them what a fine game it was and how well he could play. Handing tlio ladies two high cane seat chairs on tho Bouth side of the billiard room, which opens out on the flower banks and fountains of the lawn, the young man asked an attendant if he woidd play a game, receiving au affirmative answer. Tho play began. The representative of the City of Churches waB very airy and kept calling the attention of the ladies to his "great shots." He beat tho attendant considerably and a second game followed, in which he was particularly fresh and mado fun of somo of the poor playing of tho attendant, beating him again.

He wanted a third game and had it. Tho attendant now girded uphiB waistband and just "went for "tho dude, who soon stood like a post and saw the attendant run the game out, making some moat brilliant and difficult shots. The ladies transferred their admiration to the attendant, and made the dude's blood boil by sarcastic reflections on Mb playing, and so another game was determined upon. In this, too, the nice young man had littlo to do but stand Btill and see his opponent's score roll up as though the balls were bewitched. That settled it.

As he humbly paid hiB bill he complimented the attendant aud asked his name. My name, sir," said his recent opponent, is Slosson;" and there that Brooklyn would be lady killer hud been unconsciously booming up in tho eyes of tho ladies the champion billiardist, Slosson. The ladies bestowed the sweetest smiles on Slosson as they went out, and tho Brooklyn young man remembered "an engagement" elsewhere. Sura toga Con esponaence Troy Times. TWO CUE3UCAL STORIES.

Testing Whisky ami Easily Earning One Hundred Dollars. A couple of good stories were recently told of an analytical chemist here, whose name is authority when attached to a certificate of purity. Ho was one day talking to a young brother chemist when a man came in with a bottle of whisky. "I want this sample of whisky analyzed," he said, "and when you have analyzed it I wish you would write a letter testifying to its purity that wc can publish." "Very well," the chemist answered, taking the sample and marking it, "I will attend to it, but I shall have to havo five gallons oi the whisky to test it thoroughly." Five gallons!" returned tho manufacturer in some surprise. I didn't know it took so much, but I'll send it over." The whisky maker retired and tho young chemist turned to the elder.

"What in tho world," he asked, "do you want of live gallons of that whisky? You can't need more than half a gill or so to test it." "Young man," the other answered, a look of mirth and wisdom coming over his face, "didn't you hear him ay he wanted a letter to publish? It is absolutely certain that whisky must be It is to be supposed that the younger man took the implied lesson iu worldly wisdom to tho heart. The second story told of the same chemist is to the effect that a manufacturer of some patent compound or other came into his laboratory one day with a bottle containing an unwholesome looking mixture. "I would givo $100," he said, "to know what would make the water and oil in this emulsion separate." The chemist looked at it. "Very well," he said; "write your check." "Check? the other echoed. "Yes, your check for $100.

Yon say yon are willing to give that and for that prico I am willing to tell you what will make the water and oil separate." Tlie visitor hesitated a moment and then wrote his check for the sum named. The chemist carefully deposited it in his pocketbook and then quietly dropped into the liquid a pinch of common salt. Instantly the water and oil separated, and whether the client was satisfied or not he had got what he wanted and he had paid his own price for it. Iloston Letter tn ProDidence Journal.

Whon the mombers of the First Ward Thomas Jefferson Association started on their fourth annual pleasure trip yesterday the rain was coming down in sheets and they expected to have bad weather all day. But a good weather prophet loomed up in the shape of Captain J. E. Peek, in oharge of the steamer J. (J.

Emmons, on which the party was to sail. He declared that it would clear up by tho time they reached Collogo Point, and he was right. When the excursionists reached Point View Island, then; destination, and tho rain had stopped, they at once partook of breakfast, after which they spent six hours in all mannor of sports. One hundred merry FirsfeAYarders were present, which was only a third of those who would have attended. A match game of base ball between two rival teamB of the association was watched with great interost by a large number of spectators.

Rev. Frank 4Jihinuii1us in the Clin ton Avenue Congregational ClmrcJj. Despite the threatening clouds and rain there was a good sized congregation attending service in the Clinton avenue Congregational Church last evening. The announcement that the liev. Frank W.

Gunsaulus, one of Chicago's leading ministers, was to preach no doubt, formed part of the attraction to some in tlie audience. Mr. Gunsaulus is young in anpearance, tall, spare and has an intellectual looking head. His manner is nat ural and easy. His gestures were frequent, expressive and sometimes forcible.

His voice was pitched on rather a high key and was strained. At times it threatened to break and was not equal to the attempt to mako it express the thought desired. His language was good, his words well chosen; "his quotations from literature showed familiarity with the leading writers and were apt and interesting. Ho hold the attention of tho audience closely. Tho topic of is sermon was tho story of the struggle of humanity toward God.

as told in tho story of Adam the Garden ot Julen, eating of the forbidden fruit of the tree of tho knowledge ot good and evil, thereby losing ms innocence and being cast out, but with something left worth struggling for, as he had also eaten of tlie Tree of Life and must bear its fruit, which was eternal. He began his sermon by reading part of the second chapter of Genesis and the last two chapters of tho Book of Revelations, noting the similarity of tho illustrations used and showing how the latter supplemented the former. He skillfully avoided the dangerous grounds of theological differences of belief in these books, and said no one could fail to see the poetry of tho stories. It was the grandest epic ever written. Like Adam nil mankind had had its Eden of innocence and sinlessness, followed by departure from it, never more to return, but developing into something higher and hotter, iu the struggle of life toward God leaving the garden of pure' naturalism, going on and up toward the cits', tho type of higher civilization, from tho garden or innocence to the city ot holiness, innocence was negative, holiness was positive, and implied strife and contest.

Innocence was not to be mourned, hut holiness was to bo striven for. God was still with Adam after his departure from Eden: still his Father, helping him in his straggles, so He was ever with mankind in all its daily life. THE FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION To bo Observed in Hlrooklyn Soinetlmig About its Significance. Next Wednesday will be the feast of the As sumption, better known as Lady day. It is a holy day of obliga tion in the Catholic Church that is, all good members of that church are to rest from servile works, to hear mass, be present at vespers; in a word, they are commanded to keep it like Sunday.

Some of the early saints supposed that the Virgin Mary nevor diod, but that she, nee Elias, was taken up body and soul into heaven. The common opinion, however, hem Dy doiii me Latins and the Greeks is that she died and was assumed into heaven. The Bible is silent on the matter, but the tradition of tho Catholic Church is that she died and was buried. Her tomb is today pointed out on the eastern side of Mount of Olives. One peculiar thing about her remains is that while the Catholic Church claims to havo the bones and remains of all the apostles, while coun tries and cities havo vied with each other guarding the relies of the saints, no country, eity Tim phlll'C has ever claimed to have any of the Virgin's remains, thus strenghening the belief that her body was taken up into heaven ere it saw corruption.

From the earliest times the church celebrated the feast of the Assumption on AuguBt 15. This is tlie day her body is said to have risen from tho grave and gone up into heaven. The dav of her death is not certain; some say that two days, some three days, others ten or fifteen davH before this she died. Most writers and doc tors of the church think it took place three days before, following the example of her divine hon, who roBe on the third day. At all the masses on yesterday in most of tlio Catholic churches prayers were offered up for the repose of tho soul of the late General P.

H. bheri nan. Tho next holy day of obligation in the Catholic Church will be November 1, known as tho feast of All Saints. LOOKING AT THE BAFT. WlifuiiuLiiilN of People Visit Eric Basin and Inspect Mr.

I.cary's togs. After Blaine, the Joggins raft is attracting tho greatest amount of public attention. The im mense pile of logH, held together with steei wire roues that have iust successfully mado tho voyage from the timber lauds of the far North, are now safely moored in the Erio Basin, and thither yesterday went thousands of men, womon and chil droii. for the purpose of seeing with their own oven the new wonder. The raft is anchored a quarter of a mile from tho end of the Cross Town Bailroad.

At first sight it looks like a long, narrow island. To get a nearer view of it tho visitor ia obliged to cross over several bridgeH and em bankments, or pay 20 cents and take a smallboat fm rv that an enterprising individual has started for the occasion. The crowd yesterday were after mementoes. They pulled off big strips ot bark from the logs and carried them home. Mr.

11. it. Robert son. the projector of the raft scheme, and Martin Hawkins, the man who built and launched it, wore both on hand during the afternoon. The former said: We shall begin to untie tho raft to morrow, but we will not take any of tho logs out until Mr, Leary returns from New London, where he has gone on business connected with the disposal of the logs.

Tho material of the raft will not bo used for lumber, but for piling." ONLY STOLE HIS SILVER WATCH And fceft Untouched Mis I iittl Wart Kill. Prnneis Ditson. of 182 Driggs street, filled him splf full of beer yesterday afternoon and, while under its influence, fell asleep on the corner oi South Fifth street and Kent avenue. Uharles Campbell just then happened along and relieved Dit son of a silver watch and chain. A small ooy saw Camnbell take the watch and informed Fifth Precinct policeman, who took the thief into custody.

Ditson, who was awakened, accom panicd the officer to the station house, where ho mado a charge against the prisoner. Sergeant Bunce, who was behind tlie desk, requested the eomnlaiiiant to see if he had lost anything else. He put his hands into his pockets and pulled out a roll of bills amounting to $50. Campbell, upon seeing tho money, looked with great astonishment and diKannointment. When ho took the watch he believed Ditson to be penniless.

To day Jus tice Naeher held tho prisoner for examination. JAMES FItAZIER'S WATCH AND CHAIN. Thev are Stolen While Ho is Looking: in Bowery Window. James Frazier, master of tho Orient Lodge of Masons, living at 71 Poplar street, was wanting through the Bowery, New York, last evening. He was taking iu the Bights and he Btopped to gaze upon the attactivo display in a tobacconist's window.

George Williams, 74 Bivington street, saw him and lost no time in relieving him of a $300 watch and chaiu, presented to him by his lodge. A passer by called Mr. Frazer's attention to the loss of his wateh, and also kindly indicated the direction taken by tho thief, who was already scampering up the Bowery, followed by a tre mendous crowd of men and boys. Everything on two legs joined in tho chaso. Officer August Schlottman caught Williams at Houston street and locked mm up the isioridge street station.

The watch and chain were in his pocket. POUNDED THE REFEREE. Unpleasant Ending to a Fight Between Jack Brace and Uly Clarfc. Jack Grace, of this city, and Billy Clark, of Chicago, fought yesterday morning on the second floor of a road house on the Jamaica Plank Boed. Grace had the best of it from the very first aud was pounding his adversary in great shape.

The referee, a well known Jockey, called time at the end of the sixth round. Grace did not hear the call and strnck Clark on the back of the neck as the latter was on his way to his corner The referee at onoe gave the fight to Clark on a foul. "Hon Flaherty, Grace's trainer, flew at the Jockey and beat him over ihe face and body. Tho jockey escaped In a back and the crowd of sports at once scattered. The deoiuioa will stand.

message was the act of a far seeing etates In yesterday's issue of the News Mr. Brown states that, in his judgment, there is no occa sion for any alarm on account ot tne awnuue of the Democratic party on the subject of the tariff: now known to the people of this country that there in no purpose of Free Trade, or indorse ment of it, or suggestion ot it, or approach to encouragement or sanction of it, in the proposition for tariff reform embodied in President Clove land's message, in the Mills bill as passod by the House of Representatives, or in the platform of the Democratic party as constructed by the Na tional Democratio Convention at at. Jjouis. If, as he is reported to have declared, tne tariff is alone the drawback," Jflr. win labor all the more earnestly through tho columns of his widely circulated journal to con inco his readers of the correctness ot the view taken in the above extract.

The Democracy havo raised the standard of rebellion against trusts, trade combinations and all forms of monopoly that thrive by taxing the masses of the people, and in their lexicon there's no such word as "fail." A Memorable Reunion. Mr. James G. Blaine's first visitor at the Oriental Hotel yesterday was Mr. John J.

O'Brien. Mr. John J. O'Brien is leader or the machine Republicans in New York City. According to a morning journal friendly to Mr.

Blaine, Mr. O'Brien was "in Mr. Blaine's parlor some time." Four years ago, when mr. omuiu wn 1 iu nmg himsell instead 01 vjenerm jjcujuuiui Harrison for the Presidency, Mr. O'Brien was chairman of the New York Republican County Committee.

Outwardly ho was thoroughly loyal to Blaine and Logan. It, however, what has been charged against Mr. O'Brien is true, he was quite as responsible for Blaine's defeat as the blundering Burchard. After tho transfer of Federal control from the Democratic to the Republican party Colonel George Bliss, in a published communication over his own signature, accused Mr. O'Brien of deliberately sellins out the Re publican ticket.

His accusation substance was that on the Saturday before election Mr. O'Brien received $50,000 to be expended in manning the polls and presumably the pur chase of votes. The money was reported to have been given by Mr. Jay Gould. Instead of pxTeiidinc' it Mr.

O'Brien, according to Colonel Bliss, pocketed it. Mr. Blaine said in his Madison Square speech that he had "no sores to heal." Was it in the spirit of this remark that he received Mr. O'Brien 1 If not he evidently reposes little confidence in the veracity of Colonel George Bliss. To be a good Mayor is a sure road to fame now a days.

When tho people want an incumbent or a candidate for exalted station they are acquiring the habit of looking for him in the municipal offices. It was in the Mavoraltv of Buffalo that Mr. Cleveland laid the foundation of his Governorship and Presi dency. So now, when tho new party is it tho fifth? is easting tibout for leaders, it natu rally enough bethinks itself of celebrated City Administrators. Both ex Mayor Jjow, ot Brooklyn, and Mayor Hewitt, of New York, are suggested for the Presidential candidacy of the American party, which holds its con vention at Washington to morrow.

But Mr. Hewitt is too eager to elect Mr. Cleveland, and Mr. Low is too anxious to rebuke the Re publicans who have wandered from the path marked out for them by himself, for oither to accept a disturbing nomination. Another life long Republican of this city, ex Judge E.

Page Davis, formerly of Minne sota, regards tariff revision as the question of the hour and declares for Cleveland and Thur man. His letter of reasons is printed in to day's Eagle. The consignment of Brooklyn excursion ists, who sailed for Europe on board the Ser via about a month ago, seem to have marched into the heart of the Continent without impediment. When last heard from they were "doing" iieiueioerg witn iuhi easy PTaca which has marked their disposal of other parts of the Old World. Presently they will turn their faces again toward this side of the Atlantic, and the city wishes tor them a return voyage as safe and pleasant as their outward journey.

The looked for death of Lawrence R. Jerome removes a striking figure from New York society. The family of boys who went out from an Onondaga County farm in the first half of the century have, each iu his own way, made a mark upon their time, illustrat ing American character, capacity aud achieve ment. The Providence Journal remarks that "Dr. Storrs has about made up his mind to support the Republican party for what it has been." Among the Doctor's critics are those who accuse him of being deficient in senti ment.

The Journal's tribute ought to assist them to correct that impression. What does the Republican party propose to do with. Senator Sherman In spite of the Chicago plank which forbids the sacrifice of any part of our protective system," the Ohio statesman deliberately advocates the removal of every custom house on the Cana dian frontier and the establishment of abso lute Free Trade between Canada and the Unit ed States. It is simply awful. The Boston Herald reports that there is more excitement among Massachusetts Republicans over Blaine's return than there is among Republicans in any other section of the country.

That may be because Massa chusetts Republicans have more brains than Republicans elsewhere. They are better able to appreciate the weakness of their cause and feel that if Blaine can't perform the necessary miracle nobody can. The Protectionist organs that have de lighted to refer to the "wretched victims of the London sweating system" as an example of what American laborers would become if the tariff is reduced, must be shocked to discover from the evidence before the Congres sional Investigating Committee that protected American manufacturers have a sweating sys tem of their own which turns out quite as manv "wretched victims" as the London in stitution. Th most curious featuro of the report of the death by drowning of a young man and a young woman who went out upon Frenchman's Bay last Saturday night in a canoe is the statement that this is the first fatal acci dent at Bar Harbor in a boat of this kind. The admission that there have been many narrow escapes may very well be believed.

The canoe is precisely the craft which women should keen out of and the management of which should be restricted to experts. Ob servers of practice at Mount Desert will agree t.hnf. the esenne from death from this cause hitherto is rare good fortune. A ladies' fur hat manufacturer assures us that if tariff reduction is accomplished and the result is to reduce the amount of his profits he will make the loss good by lowering the wacres of his employes. He acknowledges that iu a good season his profits are as high as 33 per cent, and he does not, if he can help it, intend to take any less.

His candor is com mendable and exceedingly instructive. With Government bonds at from 3 to 4 per. cent, and with legal interest at 6 per cent, most men are glad to sure nf fittint? 10 ner cent, net profit from their invested capital, but the protected manufacturer is not satisfied with so, humble a revenue so long as he feels he can humbug theneonle into taxing themselves mo that he may realize 33 per cent, profit. This campaign is, therefore, really a campaign to reduce exorbitant incomes to compel manu facturers who get "the sole benefit of odr tariff laws" to bo satisfied with profits thatt bear a more reasonable proportion to the profits derived by men in unprotected indus tries. The threat to reduce wages if this is done only proves how hollow is the Protec tionist's profession of regard for the laboring man.

The EocJiester Union and Advertiser has published a supplement containing the tariff as it is and the tariff as the Mills bill proposes to make it. It is admirably arranged for ready reference and instruction, each amendment being printed in italics and introduced parenthetically in the text of the existing law All who need the information which it supplies should obtain copies of this supplement. It is one of tho best campaign documents that has yet been issued. a M. Luigi fetich, Italian Minister to Mexioo, ar rived yeeterday on thoLa Burgogne.

lite Canvas in New York. Neither party enters on the State campaign a boastful spirit. This accords with rea son, experience and common sense. me Commonwealth has more than one million voters. Hitherto no organization has secured majority of the popular vote since the in troduction of the Prohibitionists as a consid erable factor or the intrusion of the Labor men as a disturbing quantity.

While the tendency has been unmistakably toward the Democracy it has not been powerful enough to upset the nicely adjusted balance between that element and the Republicans either way. It is a clearly recognized fact by all whose eyes are not blinded by extreme partisanship that the cause or candidate which is to command supremacy will triumph only after the most intense struggle that has occurred in the polities of the State. The Republicans intend, if it lies within the scope of cleverly improved opportunity, to capture the thirty six electoral votes of New York. The Democrats cannot afford to lose those votes without yielding the Presidential succession to Republicanism. Above the contentions of the canvass these truths stand clearly revealed.

They are neither altered nor effaced by the clamor of politicians. Those who would candidly and ijitelligently contemplate the situation will not be diverted by the claquers of any interest into losing sight of them for an instant. The habitual boaster and professional "whooper up" have a distinctly established place in the discussions of the time but they bear no more relation to the origin of policies or the accomplishment of definite results than the colors under which the thoroughbred racer runs his course bear to his training aud the delicate manipulation of reins, whip or spur by which the largest tost of his physical capacity is exacted. The habitual boaster is part of the machine. The professional "whooper up" is required by the force of circumstances to expand his voluminous throat.

Neither can afford, without immediate sacrifice of self interest, to descend from the upper air of exaggeration to the basis of cold and explicit accuracy of statement. Both must necessarily ignore or misrepresent existing conditions in order to make effective their peculiar talents. Without resort to mendacity they would lag superfluous 011 the stage of modern controversy. To live they are compelled to lie. There is no nioro hopeful sign of the growing enlightenment of the people, of their augmenting capability for discharging the responsibilities of citizenship, than the enlarging inclination of rational and progressive men to look with disfavor, if not contempt, on those who from selfish motives constantly color the outlook to their own liking or that of their employers.

It is fallacious to suppose that they influence any considerable proportion of the general vote. They are certain to arouse more derision than enthusiasm, even in quarters where they believe that they are the most potent. No thoughtful voter is likely to be won over by their ill concealed artifices; the fool, whose adhesion is something that no reasonable valuation can be placed upon, is their legitimate prey. With the growth of popular intelligence their relation to public affairs is destined to shrink until they finally become as insignificant as the paid claque at the theater is in the estimation of the inspired and superior dramatic artist. Less than three months remain before the eventful day which for four years in the nation and three in the State is to decide the issue.

The Democrats and Republicans have already formulated their plans, The latter have called their State Convention to meet at Saratoga two weeks from to morrow to nominate candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The former have summoned tho State Committee to assemble at Saratoga on Thursday, of the present week, to call the Democratic Convention for a similar purpose. Unless all signs fail the composition of the respective tickets is pretty well established. Of the nomination of Governor Hill by the Democrats there is hardly any doubt of the nomination of ex United States Senator Warner Miller at the neau ot the Republican ticket there is none at all. Lieutenant Governor Jones would logically c.iitip in as Governor Hill's associate for second place.

If he does not Mr. ltoswell if. Flower may be chosen. For Lieutenant Governor on the Republican side Mayor Cor nelius R. Parsons, of Rochester, figures at the most nroniinent aspirant.

It i expected that a candidate will be pre spntpd from this end of the State; that Erie County will bring forward some one, and that other sections court the distinction. State Senator George B. Sloan, of Oswego, is regarded with favor by thousands of Repuh licans. If he were not disinclined to accept lii's nomination could be reckoned almost among the certainties. Eventually the Lieutenant Governorship will be left for settle, mont to the Gubernatorial nominees them selves or their representatives in the respect ive conventions.

By the middle of beptem ber the State tickets will be under run con sideration before the people. The Democrats have no substantial room for discouragement as they confront the labors of tho canvass. It would be tolly tor them, however, to overestimate the prospects of suc cess, ior tnem uie oiaie is uy uu luuuua um tain. They are dealing with an adroit, per severing and experienced adversary.

Bridge Jumping'. The craze for brid io iumpine is at its height. On Saturday two more young men were caught by the police while preparing for a leap from the big span between the cities. It does not appear that they contemplated suicide they were actuated solely by a de sire to achieve notoriety, just as Mr. "Steve" Ttvnr'Uf.

unci Mr. "Larrv" Donovan had won an unenviable distinction by similar perform If these would be aspirants for fame would stop to think that they are making them selves extremely ridiculous bridge jumping would soon be at a discount. Only by tho weak minded can their feats be regarded as deserving of recognition. To jump from the bridge is not a test of personal courage there is nothing in the world to commend it; on the contrary, it shows that the individual attempting the act is a fit candidate for the nearest lunatic asylum. What has served to stimulate the craze is the leniency which has been shown toward those who have been caught.

Instead of being locked up for several months or otherwise punished, the bridge jumpers have found no difficulty in obtaining engagements in dime museums, or at all events, in securing employment in second class bar rooms where they are expected to exhibit themselves, as did the Tichborne claimant. It is a depraved public taste which gives encouragement to such doings, and the men who are in any way responsible for fostering the evil, should be held to account just as severely as tho principals. On the theory, however, that there are idiots whoso vagaries cannot always bo guarded against, it would perhaps be wise cm I JBrf part of the bridge authoxitiea to is Brooklyn Again Progressing Position. Toward First The Cincinnati Team Once More Defeated After a Close Contest Talk About the Purchase of Tom Burns' Release. The Brooklyn team kept on its progress toward first place yesterday, by beating the Cincinnati Club on the grounds ot the latter, a Druiiant contest.

It was mainly a pitcher's game, Brooklyn getting tho best of it in tho final result, each club getting five base hits. Terry and Elmer Smith were pitted against each othor, and each gave splendid exhibitions of the twiner act. Brooklyn made her winning run in tho first inning, it being earned on successive singles by Pinkney, O'Brien and Foutz. During tho rest of the game, however, but two hits wore made off Smith, they being lined out by Foutz and Peoples. Cincinnati struggled in vain to get a man over tho marble.

Terry pitched a remarkably cool and brainy game. He gave Elmer Smith, who generally bats him successfully, first base on balls three times when men were on bases, Torry thus getting a chanco to put out tho following batter (Nicol), which he never failed to do. Tho gamo began an hour late because of a shower, but there were nearly 3,000 spectators. Gaffney's umpir ing was faultless. Both clubs were equally applauded for fine playing.

Tea Candidates for the Painting Prize of Borne. An Interview With One of Them After the Text is Read to Them They Are Locked Up for Thirty six Hours to Draw the Sketches Seventy two Days to Paint the Pictures.

Correspondence of tho EftgleJ Paris, August 1, 1888. Tho ten candidates for the Prize of Borne for painting have just completed their work, and the pictures are exposed to the public in the hall of the Beaux Arts. For the amount of time given seventy two days most of the pictures aro rudoly done. They show nervousness of hand, preoccupation of mind and want of harmony in the conception. The last defeot ia very evident; it shows that every student is more anxious to execute the part in which ho excels than make a picture pleasing in the ensemble.

When I mentioned these criticisms, whioh I heard tho public make, to M. Louis Lavalley, tho candidate who had tho kindness to give me this interview on the subject, ho said: "Most of the people who Bee tho pictures are unjust in their critioismRs because they expect to find in a student for the Prize of Borne qualities for which only? old painters are renowned. It is unjust, jjecansip we are only bo ginners passing oxaminulionB iich alone lead to other studies. It is notnishiiig day, it is commencement day. In Wy picture for instance, I packed in all tho effeep, consistent with the subject, which I knew I cijuld do hotter, or at least as well as the other candidates, while the ensemble was tho least of my preoccupation.

It is expected that at tho first glance tho publio, who looks only for the ensemble, will be very critical. But we know that the jury's judgment is difforent; it takes the picture to pieces, analyzes, examines all tho details and pronouneeB according to its appreciation of these details. For my picture I paid no, or very little, attention to sentiment, tricks every painter has tricks idealism, finish, because it is drawing and coloring that the jury generally looks at, as the candidate is sent to Borne precisely to acquire the qualification which, added to a good foundation, makes up talent. The subject of this year's trial is taken from the books of the OdysBey. Ulysses hi a storm is wrecked upon the Island Phajacia.

Naked and exhausted, ho goes to sleep in a wood. The joyous shouts of feminine voices soon awake him. A few steps from where he lies Nausicaa, daughter of Alcinous, King of Plneacin, with her young friends are playing at games. Ulysses arises, and as lie airoears before tho young maidens with hut a tuft of verdure girding his loins, they all fly, save Nausicaa, from whom Minerva banished fear. Penetrated with tho majestic bearing of the imploring stranger, she resolves to conduct him to her father.

Here is the literal rendering of the text: 'At these words the god Ulysses rises from his conch made of leaves, and with his strong hand breaks a thick branch from a tree to hide his iiuditv. Ho then rushes forward like a lion, who seeks hiB prey in the mountains, braves storm and wind and with fiery eyes jumps upon the agile deer; or, who, pushed by hunger, breaks open the solid habitations of flocks. Thus Ulysses although naked, advances toward the blonde maidens because want compels him. He appears horrible to then eyes, for tho water of the sea has disfigured him, aud they, full of fear, fly to tho rocks near the shore. Alcinous' daughter alone remains And is tho text all that is given you to con ceive your picture "That's all; it is slowly and distinctly dictated to us.

We go to our separate logos with tho text and two leaves of drawing paper for our sketches: one is handed over to the jury aud the other wo are allowed to keep." 'Let us start at the begiuning ol tho examnia tions to see by which process the ten candidates for the prize of Home are chosen. Must a stu dent belong to the School of Beaux Arts to aspu to the prize Oh.no: any student, provided ho be French, less than U0 years old and unmarried, can try his luck at the first examination." What is required in this first examination The painting of a sketch whoso subject ib given by a chosen momberof tho academy. Aftor a closo examination of the sketches, the jury makes a choice of twenty of tho best. The painters of those sketches, together with the nine can didates who failed the preceding year a man can present himself every year until he is U0 and the students who have received the first medal at the Beaux Arts mako up the class of candidates for the second examinations. This consists 111 painting an academy figure, and from this class the ten candidates for tho Prize of Itome aro chosen." Does not one who has already run for the prize stand a better chance than tho others 7" Not at all; if ho fails in the second examina tion he must begin all over tho next year, and if he is of ago that ends all his chances." Of what men is the jury composed Of the professors of the School of tho Beaux Arts, of the painters who are members ot the In stitute, and a few others chosen among the noted artists who are ncithor professors of tho school nor mombers of the Academy men, for instance, like Benjamin Constant and Bonlanger." "Who is called upon to choose tho subject tor the final trial It is tho duty of every member of the iuvy to find a subject.

It must be taken from classical literature: one from the Greek or Roman is pre ferred. At a meeting of the jury each one reads the text he has chosen, and while the candidates are waiting in the noxt room a vote is taken, and the text which Tecoives the majority ot voices is immediately dictated to the candidates. From that moment we are prisoners ior nirty six hours. The guardian assigns each or us our loge, shoves us in, locks the door and takes away the key." What is your first impi esBion on bomg wiub lnnlced iid. and what do you do during those thirty six hours?" For my part, the first few hours I feel as if 1 wore prison, and can imagine j.

snau ever ue able to do anything inclosed in those four narrow, low walls, which all Beein to touch me. I have been incarcerated in them twice now, and I felt as bad tlie second time as I did the first. spend the first twelve hours in trying to conceive my sketch without taking a pencil in hand, fix my figures in the landscape, create my world, people water and land twelve hours, tor which (rod took several days. On the evoning of the first dav I try to sleep. That's one of tho hardest of the tasks, for naturally one is very much excited, The second day is spent 111 making tho two sketches; only two, because wo have only two sheets of paper.

We are scrupulously searched by the guardians every time wc enter tho loges; anything that might help us with our worn is strictly forbidden." "You don't go without eating for two days, do you "Oh.no; at onr meals we manage to have a good time. We order them at a good restaurant and we take them all in the samo room. We al ways take care to order a long bill of fare, so as to spend as much timo as we can at the table. We have then full liberty of doing what wo please, and talk 011 any subject we desire except that ot our nictures. There are several guardians to watch us.

and the best spico of these meals is to tease them, olav iokes 011 them. For instance, wo will pretend to whisper to each other, write or sketch on naner and surreptitiously pass the slips to our neighbor. Very often the drawing is a carica ture of one of the guardians 111 tho act ot search iue us. and that for a minute affords amusement for both watcher and watched.

MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1888. This Paior has tlio tartest Circula Hon ot any Evening Paper Published In the United States.

In the earlier days of journalism a change of type was an event celebrated with much rejoicing. Now it is so far a matter of course for a first class newspaper to preserve mechanical freshness and perfection that its appearance in a new dress, as the Eaglk appears today, usually passes without mention. But the Eagle's latest typographical suit is likely to attract special attention from the fact that the nonpareil letter in which the news matter is printed is of a somewhat larger face and therefore more legible. The ingenuity of the type founders has accomplished this desirable result with a very trifling sacrifice of space. The Eagle has always been conservative of mechanical methods, avoiding changes in the familiar page.

To day will be observed the only formal modification in the daily paper for many years the running headline on the second, third and fourth pages. It is not. out of place to say just now that the business of the Eagle never before has been so prosperous as during the present year. This is only repeating what has often been said that it keeps pace with the growth and activity of the City of Brooklyn, which it has represented for nearly half a century. The busy season of advertising was prolonged in 1888 beyond its period in any other year, and it seems likely that by and by there will be no dull interval whatever.

Hie Speech to the S'ereiiaders. Mr. Plaine's fourteen mouths of intercourse with the representatives of "effete dynasties" has not diminished the audacity of his political methods or impaired his fondness for a fight. His feet have scarcely touched our shores again before he stiffens his intellectual sinews, doubles up his intellectual fists and without waiting for the enemy to begin hostilities strikes out from the shoulder. His remarks to the Hon.

Patrick Ford's battalion of Irish Brahmins are as full of the flavor of battle as the atmosphere of Donnybrook fair. The superb menace of his attitude and the warlike spell of his eloquence would arouse enthusiasm in any truly representative gathering of the children of Erin. We are glad that the seductive hospitality of English tyrants has not abated the native force of Mr. Blaine's free American spirit. We are glad that the society of princes, dukes and gents of high degree Wt him iust as it found him.

We are Clad that he has escaped the enervating in fluenees of the British nobility and returned to us with his original stock of political salt petre and charcoal. So much for the satisfaction with which Mr. Blaine's condition fills us. And next to the pleasure which we have in confessing it is the pleasure of pointing out two little errors into which he drops at the very out Bet of his triumphal stumping tour. The speech to the serenading Brahmins, with characteristic sagacity, aims to make the interests of the workiugman the real issue of the contest.

If the Itepublicaus can convince the toiling millions" that a reduction 'of the tariff means a reduction of their wages and the paralysis of our industries, Cleveland and Thurman are beaten. Mr. Blaine accepts 1 this not only as his major premise, but as Ins sole premise. Accordingly Ins speech is devoted to showing that it is the duty of the laborer to vote against the party of tariff re 'form. What he considers the two strong points are the two weak ones of the speech.

The first is contained in the following extract You have before you a contest in which that great issue is to be settled by the American people for perhaps an indefinite period the one way or the other, me year ibb aiiiuiwuu, the Preaident at its close proposed a radical change in the industrial system Which had produced that prosperity, aud since that day there ha8 been reversal and contusion in the commerce and manufacturers of the United States. Aird fhe question before the American people is whether he and his Administration shall be sustained in that movement. Mr. Blaine cannot speak from personal knowledge of the industrial conditions existing here during the last twelve months and his information on the subject is unreliable. Our leading trade authority is BradstreeVs and the difference between the latest reports of that authority and Mr.

Blaine in respect to this matter may be illustrated by a single quotation There is notably a revival in dry goods, woolens and cottons, boots and shoes. The greatest increase is in Boston, Philadelphia, Louisville, Chicago and the Northwest. Eastern dry goods jobbers, especially in Boston, report more activity in all wool and worsted dress goods at better prices. Also prints and cotton goods are higher. All leading wool markets report improvement, with prices film.

As a matter of fact there has been no such "reversal and confusion in the commerce and manufactures of" the United States, as Mr. Blaine speaks of or BradstreeVs reports would certainly have advised us of it. The other point is that the tariff enables the workingman to obtain high wages Capital always takes care of itself and gets its full share, but there are laws that can elevate the condition of the laboring men, and there are laws that can degrade them. The republican party has stood for twenty five years and it will stand, I believe, by the blessing of God and the will of the Amorirain npnnlo for twenty five years more by holding and maintaining that the Government which takes care of the uone aim smew aim uiu nu and muscle of the land is talcing care of the men Jhat create the growth of the country, and are entitled to the patronage and protection of the Gov ernment. Again Mr.

Blaine finds himself in antagonism with those who arc better qualified to speak than himself. President Jarrett, of the Pennsylvania Association of Amalgamated iron Workers, is one of them. He is so friendly to the Republican party that he recently went among the laboring men of the Hon. William K. Morrison's district and succeeded in me ventins the re election of that gentleman to Jarrett was summoned be fore the Senate Committee on the Relations of Capital and Labor and sharply questioned as to what he knew about the effect of a high tariff on the wacres of the men in his association.

He knew a good deal, but he didn't want to tell it. Senator Call applied to him the sharp prod of cross examination. Mr. Jarrett twisted and squirmed and hedged at first, but finally blurted out the truth tliat the tariff had noth nr tn tin with workiinmen's waces, and that the only way in which the iron workers could get living rates from their employers was through the coercive agency of the trades unions. Mr.

Blaine ought to call a council of the managers of the Republican canvass and get them to agree upon the lines of argument which the speakers and "organs" are to fol low. It will be a very easy campaign lor tlie riomnwnfs if Reoubbcan "authorities" in one locality can pop up unexpectedly and con adict the statements of Republican "autho rities" in another locality. Whether right rhev oucht at least arrange to be consistent. JUTS. Fletcher's Confession.

Mrs. Emma Fletcher's confessed murder of Maria Jones, near Creedmoor, is the natural sequel of an ill spent life. Before proceeding at last to the commission of a capital crime the guilty woman had sounded the uttermost deDths of degradation. Vicious Dy naiure and mclination, she surrendered to the worst promptings of an evil disposition and sunk so low that even the respect due her sex was sacrificed. Her motive for killing her victim teated the deed ia a druaken passion, at a of is It is in a The Board ot Education Committees.

It is with pleasure the Eagle notes the fact that the Committees of tho Board of Education, recently announced by President Hen drix, aro, in the main, well chosen. Then composition would seem to indicate a desire on the part of Mr. Hendrix not to leave him self open to the charge of extreme partisanship which followed the announcement of his list twelve mouths ago. At the head of the Finance Committee is Mr. Teale, a Republican, who has had long experience in educational affairs, and who is well fitted for the trust committed to him Mr.

Cottier heads the Teachers Committee, as that position, by courtesy, has generally been given to the vice president of the Board; tho Law Committee is unchanged, and Mr. Hark ness assumes tho chairmanship of the Committee on School Houses. The friends of Federal Building Superintendent Guilfoyle, who was an eager aspirant for the place given to Mr. Harkness, may be disappointed when they observe that his alleged "claims" have been ignored, but, taking all. the circumstances into consideration, wo fail to see that they have any great Teason to complain.

It would not, in our judgment, bo the best of taste to place at tho head of the committee having charge of the school houses, a man who is brought prominently before the public as a Federal employe, having supervision of the work on the Post Office, and moreover it should not bo forgotten, that Mr. Harkness, while equally well equipped for the position, has been in the Board longer and is better known to Brooklyn people than Mr. Guilfoyle. Mr. McNamee, who was ignored last year, is awarded the chairmanship of the Committee on Heating and Ventilation, and a good selection it is.

With such men as Dr. Griffin at the head of the Libraries Committee Mr. Rowo at the head of the Committee on School Books Mr. Northup at tho head of the Committee on Rules, and Mr. Gates at the head of the Central School Committee there is lit tle reason to assume that any radical innova tion will be attempted, or that the affairs of tho schools will not be considered mainly with nil eve to the nublic sood.

The Eagle takes all tho more pleasure in alluding to these facts because it has had occasion more than once to criticise the course of President Hendrix, and also the political in fluences which have grown up in the Board durint; his administration. It may be thut this condition of affairs has been dwelt upon with what may seem to have been un omnhnais. Vint, on the other hand, it. should be remembered that until very re cently, at least, our school administration was practically free from the suspicion or partisan taint, and when the departure was inaue, ib nt. have failed to be disappointing.

In our judgment it is not so much a question of Mr. Hendrix's desire to give to the schools the best supervision which his position per mits, as it is a question of his ability to resist tho pressure which is undoubtedly brought to bear upon him by the politicians ot his party And because it is more than proDaoie tnat. nis position as postmaster hampers his course in the Board we have held that the common gooti would be the better consulted by relinquish ment of one of his two places. This is not charging that the standard of discipline and efficiency in the schools has been lower undei Mr. Hendrix than under his predecessors, but it is saying, in effect, that the puonc minti would not be very violently shocked if the confession were frankly made that our school system was being, directly or indirectly, man rmlutnd for partisan ends.

No douDt it is nnfoT tiinato for the president of the Board that a sentiment exists like that to which we have alluded. But the remedy is largely in his own hands, and it is in his power to make amends during his second term for whatever oversights or delinquencies may have thus far occurred. In his committee appointments Mr TTflnrlriv has done remarkably well. It is to be hoped that in every other respect ho will display an equally solicitous regard tor our school system. Tlio Bcsortu of tossg Island.

A page of yesterday's Eagle was de voted to correspondence from some of the better known of the Summer resorts on Long island. Our readers were told of the events in progress or tlie piaus cieviseu wr mo vmai tainment of visitors, and were also given the names of Brooklyn people who are enjoying tho vacation davs at the places mentioned. It is gratifying to know that Long Island is steadily growing public ravor as an attract ive Summer resort. Brooklyn people, in par ticular, are beginning to appreciate the fact that there is much waste of time and money in going to places more remote, when within a few miles nop rnn ho found the finest stretch of beach along the Atlantic coast, with the additional advantage of rural surrounding. To those in mountain air Lone Island, of course, does not offer much attraction, but it is unrivaled in the conveniences it attords to those who find health and pleasure by tho sea Railroad facilities have recently been so much improved that even tho most distant points are within convenient and easy reach, and this consideration is of no small importance when it is remembered that a large percent mrp.

of the Summer residents come to town in the morning and return at night. For the Tpnson that in devotiucr special attention to Long Island affairs the Eagle touches essentially home constituency it is pleased, as it did yesterday, to chronicle its events at so much length. Private Opinions Publicly Stated. The leading New York papers give consid erable prominence to a report originally pub lished in the Cincinnati inquirer ot an alleged private interview between the Hon. Calvin S.

Brice, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Mr. William C. Mac Bride, a well known journalist, and Editor William L. Brown, of the New York Daily News. Mr.

MacBride is the reporter and what he writes is not particularly important, even if accurately set forth. The essence of tho statements made consists in the opinion attributed to Colonel Brice that the President ought to take a hand in the canvass by using the Federal patronage to promote the election of the ticket, and in the belief said to have been expressed by Editor Brown that the tariff issue is a drawback to Democratic success. Conceding that Mi'. MacBride has not misunderstood either of the gentlemen there is nothing strange in the views ho ascribes to them aud nothing in tho fact that they hold such views to discourage the friends of Cleveland aud Thurman. It is not denied that many ardent partisans in the Democratic ranks differ with the President in respect to the wisdom of a strict enforcement of the Civil Service law.

The Eagle believes and has always believed that Mr. Cleveland is wiser than those who differ with him upon this point; that the great majority of the American people favor Civil Service reform, and that by faithfully adhering to it the President has greatly strengthened himself with honest, intelligent and patriotic men of all parties. If Colonel Brice cannot see it in this light his oniuion is entitled to Tespect, but it need not and does not abate one jot ot ms zeal tor me Democratic National ticket. What Editor Brown has to say about the effect of the tariff issue on the prospect of the canvass fairly expresses the feeling among those Democrats who have not been able to shake off the fear which tho bugaboo of "Free Trade" has so long inspired under the skillful and audacious use made of it by Republican politicians. Tho rapidly accummulating evidences that the country is not to be thus terrorized any longer, that workmen are awaking to the fact that "protected capital is an enemy not a friend to labor, and that courageous manufacturers are adding their testimony in favor of free raw materials are.
