The singular speotani of an officer of thf
oKr attempting to prevent a oltlsen from pay
Its; hl taxes was presented yesterday In Pari
in. of the Supreme Court when Assistant
Corporation Counsel John N. Ward, appear
Inc for the Commissioners of Taxes and As,
aassmenta. aought to further their effort
to prevent the discontinuance of the cert
tlorarl proceedings brought by Ool. Theodor
Roosevelt's attorners without 'his knowledge
to review the assessment of his personal es
tate for taxation in this olty. It added to the
singularity of the proceeding to have the
charge mad In open court by Col. Roose
velt's counsel that the case was improperly on
the calendar, that the Corporation Counsel
had never notified CoL Roosevelt's attorneys
oCthe hesring. that no raeorfl ot t? Ming of
aot of Issue was on the court records,
where it should have been, and that the only
reason Col. Roosevelt was represented in court
at all was beoause the newspapers had an
nounced that the cose was coming up.
When the certiorari proceedings were
brought Mr. Roosevelt, as Colonel of the First
Volunteer Cavalry, was fighting before San
tiago de Cuba. Before taking the field he had

Pear Jack: I do not want to lose my vote
thh fall, and therefore I will just pay the pen
alty and pay those taxes In New York. Is It
I practloal to alter matters bo as to have me
taxed at Oyster Bay? Would this be practical
or not? If not. then I will pay in New York,
anyway. I do not want to seem to sneak out
of. anything, nor do I wish to lose my vote
two years in succession. Won't you. then,
ask Douglas to go over my taxable property
and see If I cannot get off for less than $50,

to pay. I am very much obliged for what you
nave done. We are all on edge about the re
port here. Faithfully yours.

His attorneys decided to dispute the assess
ment in this elty and without consultation
his first venture in the political neut.
No Democrat so far could be found willing to
make the race In the Fifth district, where there
Is an overwhelming Republican majority, and
the convention was adjourned until Friday

nee for Governor, as a Justice ot the Supreme
Court, was filed with the boerotanr W (State to
day. The resignation takes effsot immediately.
i wJi ,0oJ. Booavt1t br Mm erttorart pro
eeedlng. Whan Ool. Roosevelt returned and
heard of this he directed that the proceed
ing be discontinued. The Commissioners of
Taxes refused to assent. Such refusal was
most unusual and could he explained only on
the ground that, being Tammany officehold
ers, they hoped to extraet some small political
capital out of the ease.
J On the refusal of the Tax Commissioners to
consent to a discontinuance of the unauthor
ized proceedings. Mr. Roosevelt's attorneys.
John E. Roosevelt and James A Speer. went
before Justice Cohen on Saturday and got aa
order directing the Commissioners to show
cause why they should not consent. This
order is returnable before Justice Smyth in
Part I. of the Supreme Court on Monday, Oct.
10, and Justice Cohen directed In granting It
that the original proceeding be stayed until
the healing and determination on the order to
show cause.
Nevert helessTthe certiorari proceedings were
put on the calendar In Fart III. yesterday,
Mr. Rooeerelt's attorneys were not notified
that the certiorari proceedings were to come
up, and it was only through accident that they
learned of it When they were oalled Ellhu
Root, who appeared for Col. Roosevelt, in
formed Justice Daly of the pending order to
show cause, which stayed the certlorlarl pro
ceeding. Mr. Root added that there were
two things he wished to say. One was that
the certiorari proceeding had been begun
while Mr. Roosevelt was at Santiago de Cuba
and without his knowledge: that immediately
on his return to New York he had directed its
discontinuance: that a stipulation to that ef
fect in the ordinary form had been sent to the
Corporation Counsel, who had refused to con
sent. This. Mr. Root said, was a wholly un
precedented thing. Accordingly, an order to
show cause why the city should not consent to
a discontinuance hod been obtained with a
stay of proeeding" In the meantime, and that
slay was still In force. The hearing on the
order to show cause had been put over until
Monday, tho 10th.
"The other thing to be said," Mr. Root went
on. "Is that this case was Improperly on the
calendar: that the Corporation Counsel has
never given to Mr. Roosevelt's attorneys any
notice of the hearing of the case: that no rec
ord of the filing of a note of Issue appears on
the records of the court where it belongs, and
that the only reason why Mr. Roosevelt's rep
resentatives happen to be here at all Is be
cause they saw In a newspaper that the oase
was on the calendar."
Mr. Root said that it was an extraordinary
combination of circumstances that the Cor
poration Counsel should refuse to permit the
discontinuance of a case against the city, that
the cae should be surreptitiously put on the

BROOKI.YX CONGRESS NOXINXES.
The Democratic Candidates Tfere Named
Last Night A Machine Slate.
The Doraocratlo Congress conventions in
Brooklyn were held last night, and Were for
the most part tame gatherings, their work
having been already cut out by the now all
powerful Willoughby street machine. A week
ago there were probably a dozen aspir
ants for the nomination In tho Second
district, including ex-District-Attorney James
BW. Rldgway. James O. Cleveland, and
Alden 8. Swan, but an obscure dark horse In
the person of John J. Fitzgerald, a young law
Byer of the Seventh ward, carried off the prize
without even the sign of a struggle. The decree
that he should be named had only been sent
out three hours ahead of the meeting of the
convention, and all the other candidates pre
cipitately withdrew.
Mr. Matthew J. McKennn. who is also young,
and without doubt a good deal of a patriot, was
guilty of an Indiscretion in his speech nomi
nating Mr. Fitzgerald, for which he is likely to
be " called down." ss It promulgated idens not
altogether In harmony with prevailing Demo
cratic doctrine. He declared that wherever the
flag had been righteously unfurled In the re
cent glorious war "there It should remain."
and the grand work of Dewey should not be
undone. . ,
The sentiment elicited a worm outburst of
applause from the spectators in tho nailery,
but Mr. McKenna's fellow delegates on tho
floor were slunlflcsntly nnnppreclatlvo.
In the Third district Concrcssmnn John H.
grlggs had a vnl';over for a renominatlon.
e was eluded lust yoor to 1111 tho unexpired
term of Congressman Wilson, his victory over
Willlnm II. Promlergast. the Republican candi
date, resulting from tho unfurtunute party
complications in tho Mayoralty contest. This
Iear the Republican iiuvn again given Mr.
'randi'igaat a nomination, and as the district
iss a normal Republican majority of over
3.0K). Mr, Driirgs in not likely to return to
K Washington os Its representative.
In th Fourth district Capt. Bertram C. Clay
ton of Troop c was nominated with a hurrah.
He docs not live in the district, but this draw
back, in the estimation of the Democratic lead
ers, was more than counterbalanced bv bis fine
military record Capt. Clayton organized tho
troop and accompanied It to Porto Rico. Ho
spent over a week in tho hospital after his re
turn. He Is a West Point graduate, and this Is
"I do not doubt that It la there now." Mr.
Root said.
"You mean to insinuate when I aay I filed it
on the 21st" Mr. Ward began.
"I will put the case down for the 11th."
broke in Justice Daly, ending the dismission.
Mr. Root Bald he objected to this course.
but would submit to the court.
Mr. Ward said that there was nothing po
litical in the Corporation Counsel's attitude,
but that he didn't want to have tho city re
ceive Col. Roosevelt's money "unless it
could be shown plainly that Col. Roosevelt was
a resident of the State."
While this argument was going on in the
Supreme Court the taxes on SftO.Oi1, the
amount at which Col. Roosevelt's personal
property was assessed In this city, were paid to
the Receiver of Taxes In tho Stewart build
ing. The taxes amounted to $1.1X15. Pay
ment was made by means of n certified check,
paid to the Receiver by tho Title Guarantee
and Trust Company, acting as Col. Roose
velt's agents. The law provides that a rebnre
shall be made to all persons who pay their
taxes promptly. Yesterday was the first day
on which taxes were receivable, and Col.
Roosevelt reoelved SI). 72 change from the city
in recognition of his promptness. This Is the
tax: which the Corporation Counsel appears
to be engaged in trying to prevent Ool. Roose
velt from paying, and over which the court
proceedings reported ahove arose. The Re
ceiver of Taxes did not hesitate about accept
ing the money' and a facsimile of tne receipt
given to Col. Roosevelt is here given.
BALLOTS FOR -NEW YORK SOLDIERS.
The Machinery for Taking Their Totes Has
Been Completed.
Ai.niN-r. Oct 3. Secretary of State Palmer
has completed the machinery for taking ths
votes of New York State soldiers at the front at
this fall's election with the exception of dis
tributing the ballots, which will be done this
week. The Secretary expects that he will have
to furnish ballots for the First Regiment, now
stationed at Honolulu ; the Twelfth, at Lexing
ton: the Twenty-second, at Fort Slocum: the
Forty-seventh, at Fort Adams (now ordered to
Porto Rico); the Sixty-ninth, at Huntsvllle.
Als.. and the 201st, 202d. and 203d regiments,
at Camp Meade. The Secretary of State has al
ready secured a registration list of the voters
in these regiments, with the exception of the
Twelfth and the 201st. which are expected this
week. The Secretary anticipates no trouble
in getting the ballots and nominations
to the above-named regiments, though
thore may be some doubt as to whether
the blank ballots will reach the Astor flattery
at Manila In time. Copies of the Soldier Voting
law. registry list anil the necessary instruc
tions were forwarded to the commanding offi
cer of this battery some weeks ago, but the
registry lists have not yet been returned from
thore. For this reason the Secretary of State
has no knowledge as to how many of that bot
tery are residents and entitled to vote In this
State. However, oven though the official blank
bnllots do not reach Manila, there is a provision
in the law whereby the soldiers may vote on
unofficial ballots and the nominations will be
cabled there by the Secretary of State via Hong
Kong.
The Secretary of State has been advised from
Washington that the Second, Third. Kiehth.
Ninth. Fourteenth, Sixty-fifth and Seventy
llrst regiments mid the three batteries will un
doubtedly be mustered out in time for the
members to vote at their homes on election
day. It Is estimated that between 10,000 and
11.000 men from this State will be in the
volunteer service about election time and that
about 7,500 are voters. The Seoretary of State
Is having 15.000 ballots printed, as he must
fnrnlsh two for each voter. The Secretary of
State says he will have no trouble in roanhlng
any of the regiments which may be sent to
Porto Rico or Cuba.
Jflt WALKER'S COAT AND TEMTKR.
The Congressman Renominated In Spite of
Capt. Cochran's Attack.
WoBcgsTE. Mass.. Oct. 3. Congressman
Joseph H. Walker was nominated for the sixth
time by the Republicans ot the Third Con
gressional district here to-day. The feature
of the convention waa an attack made upon
the Congressman by Capt. J. M. Cochran of
Bouthbrldge. who said that Mr. Walker was
not the best man available.
"He has ability and a temper," said Capt.
Cochran. "He loses his temper. He lost it
onoe in Congress. He is not calm or consider
ate, and In consequence his finance hill Is no
further along to-day than It was five years ago.
Mr. Walker lias s nationalreputatlon.lt Is true,
but ho got It by taking off his cost In debate."
The opposition received only 10 votes, how
ever, to Wnlkor's 89.
Samuel McCall was unanimously renomi
nated for a fourth term In Congress from the
Kiglith district.

CITS FALLING INTO LINE.
wilt. svrroRT RmrvBT.iCANS won
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
TThen the Nominations Ave Good Bnnngh,
and Will Have We General Legislative
Ticket Republicans Kxpected In Tom
to Nominate Daly, Cohen and Odell.
Tho" Cits decided last night at the Twenty
third street headquarters not to nominate
full legislative ticket in this city hut to en
dorse the Republican candidates, where they
were found to be up to the moral standard re
quired by the Cits. In return the Republi
cans, it Is understood, are to nominate Jus
tices Daly and Cohen nndJHamllton Odell for
the Supreme Court. These candidates have
already been named by the Citizens' Union.
This arrangement will undoubtedly strengthen
the Republican ticket In the Assembly and
Senate districts and will be a sad blow to Tam
many. Everett P. Wheeler, who, as a member
of the Bar Association, has been endeavoring
for some time to bring about some such agree
ment.Vald last night that he would not be sur
prised now If the Citizens' State Party with
drew ltaState ticket. Isaac II. Klein, known
also as Kleiner Isaae said that he guessed not.
The Cits' '.Campaign Committee passed this
"Nrtnlrfh. That the Citizens' Union make
no nominations this fall exoept for Justices of
the Supreme Court in the First Judicial de-
Ement, comprising the boroughs of Mnnhat
and the Bronx, and for a Judge of the Cltr
rt of New York! that it oo-operate in refer
ence to such nominations with the Committee
Si Judicial Nominations of the Bar Assocla
on of the city ot New York, with the view of
nominating suoh candidates for judicial office
as shall be approved by the bar of the city of
New York. Irrespective of political affiliations,
and that In making such nominations ths
union will select from those nominated by
other organizations suoh persons as in their
opinion, after a conference with eald Commit
tee on Judicial Nominations, shall appear to
be most fitted for the judiolal offloos for whloh
they may be respectively nominated."
Mr. Klein got this added:
Provided, nowever. that separate nomina
tions for the Senate and Assembly may be
made in separate Senatorial and Assembly
districts. If In the judgment of the Executive
Committee and the district committees ot such
Assembly districts it is expedient so to do."
At a meeting of the Central City Commit
tee a letter was prepared in reply to the letter
sent to the committee by Charles Stewart
Smith. John B. Pine and others last week pro
testing against the use of the name and em
blem of the union in a State campaign. A
letter was received from Paul Fuller ot the
Independent Citizens' Committee" releasing
the Central Committee from its pledge of tho
See of its name and emblem on the Indopen
ent State ticket, whloh. as Mr. Fuller puts it.
Col. Roosevelt "deserted."
VAN WYCK NOT TAT.KINO.
Republicans Interested in the Vacancy on
the Supreme Court Bench.
Augustus Van Wyok. the Democratic nomi
nee for Governor, had many callers. Includ
ing a small army ot reporters, at his home,
172 Hancock street, Brooklyn, yesterday morn
ing. After telling tho reporters that he could
not answer any questions for the present, he
slipped around the corner to his barber's for a
brush-up and on his way back to his house
stopped at a drug store for a glass of soda. An
hour later he again emerged from the house
accompanied by Mrs. Ynn Wyck. They took
a trolley car for Manhattan, and separating at
this side of the bridge. Candidate Ynn Wyck
went to the City Hall and joined his brother,
tho Mayor. Mr. Van Wyck was back In Brook
lyn early In the afternoon and spent a few
hours in tho Court House and Brooklyn Club.
He was stopped every few stops he took In the
neighborhood of the borough hall to receive
handshakes and congratulations.
Tne Republican managers are much Inter
ested In the choice by Gov. Rlack of n succes
sor to Justice Van Wyck fur his unexpired
term. Col. Mlohael J. Dady, the Chairman of
tho Executive Committee, went to Albany yes
terday in tho interest, it was said, of Fred A.
Ward, who Is one of the leading candidates
for a judiciary nomination. There are several
other Republican leaders who strongly favor ex
Senator Charles H. Russell, and the Governor
is also likely to hear from them. As Justice
Jesse Johnson Is slated for renominatlon. the
other place on the ticket will almost assured
ly go to either ex-Senator Russell or Mr.
Ward. The choice of the Governor may have
a determining effect on the notion of the con
vention. Little reliance was placed in the
rumor circulated yesterday that Gov. Black
might name Senator Lexow.
It is understood by the Democratic managers
that Candidate Van Wyck proposes to make a
number of speeches during the campaign and
that his first appearance on the platform will
be at the Academy of Music In Brooklyn next
Monday night. Just as soon as Mr. Van
Wyck sets the ball rolling, twenty-one rallies,
one for each election district, are to be held
each night in that borough.
Two JEnthuslastlo Ratification Meetings.
There was a mass meeting of the Republi
cans ot the Eleventh Assembly district at 205
West Tbirtyfourth street last night. A large
crowd was present and the speakers were
heartily cheered. Jacob Fowler presided. Reso
lutions indorsing the nomination of Theo
dore Roosevelt were adopted amid great en
thusiasm. The Riverside Republican Club held a ratifi
cation meeting last night at 157 West Seventy
seventh street. All the Republican voters in
the Twenty-first Assembly district turned out
to attend. The names ot Col. Roosevelt and
other candidates on tho State tlokot were
heartily cheered. President Armitage Mat
thews presided at the meeting.
MOTHER CAT SETTLED IT.
Fight for Possession of a Mouse by Two
Kittens Kndtid When She Came.
The usual crowd was seated at the tables In a
Park row hennery shortly before midnight and
the waiters were putting in their busiest hour
serving " beef and" when the shrill squeal of a
mouso, followod by the plainttvo mow of a
tnbby. startled every one In tho place. Almost
Immediately a mouso darted out of the kitchen,
hotly pursued by a little black and white
kitten, whloh In its headlong flight oamo
out of the kitchen head over heels. Straight
for t be cashier's counter the mouso made, with
the kltton catching up at every jump. Finally
the kitten made a spring and captured the
mouse. There was a squealing, purring and
mewing for a oouplo of minutes, and then the
kitten began to strut about with Its prey as if
In doubt what to do next.
At this juncture anothorklttencame running
out. of the kitchen. It took In the situation at
a glance, and then began a struggle between
the kittens for possession of the mouse. Thev
scratched, mewed, sputtered, and clawed cacn
other, ana every now and then tho mouse,
which was released, tried to make off, but both
kittens were watchful and wore after It like a
flash.
Men left the tables and formed a circle around
the combatants to watch the fun. First one
would get it then tho other, and thus It went
on. when a third cat. the mother of the kittens,
appeared on the scene and settled the dispute
for possession by pushing one kitten aside
with her paw and clawing the other. Then
grabbing the now almost lifeless mouse,
she made off In the direction of the kitchen.
When tho kittens recovered they stood for an
Instant blinking their eyes at each other, and
then they also bolted for the kitchen.
LIVES ON A n.ATHOAT.
The Domicile of Mr. Bonier While Seeking
a Divorce at Fargo.
Fiaoo, N, D.. Oct. 3 Under the spreading
branehes of the oak trees on the banks of the
Red River of the North, at the edge of Island
Park, in this city, there has been anchored for
several months a small flatboat. During these
months, comfortably houaed in its cabin, have
lived Augustine Bonier of Woonsocket, R. I.,
and his young grandson. With spring. Bonier,
a man of possibly 00 years, oams to Fargo,
and. taking up his residence at a hotel, caused
this flatboat to be constructed. The cabin was
fitted with a small kitchen and dining room,
and equipped with all articles necessary for
the comlort of himself and his youthful asso
ciate While at the hotel he kept to his room
aud made no acquaintances, ana after taking
up his abode in the boat for many weeks he
did not touch his feet on land. In favorable
weather he could bs seen lying at ease In a
hammock swung on ths fore-deck. Curious
idasera by day after day failed to reach a satls
actory conclusion as to what the mission of
the old man might bs.
In course of time the case was partly cleared
up, when In ths District Court Judge Pollock
called the divorce proceedings of Augustine
Bonier against Amlranda Bon lor. and the old
man of the boat appeared as plaintiff. Accord
ing to the papers filed In the action. Bonier was
formerly a resident of Woonsocket. where his
wile. Amlranda. still has her home The first
hearing In court was on an application of the
defendant for temporary alimony and attor

Hied by Bonier is very voluminous and cites

Many Mew York women have recently re
ceived from Paris large envelopes surrounded
with a mourning band of a blackness and
breadth unusual her. The large card In
closed contained (he names of about thirty
persons, all relatives ot a famous French dress
maker who died recently In Paris. His name
was nearly a well known In this country as
that of the famous Worth, and his establish
ment waa probably known to a larger num
ber.'of visiting Americans, as it was on Tho Rue
de laPalx. near the Avenue de ropcra. This
was Edonsrd Doucet. He was 77 years old at
the time of his death. Another well-known
establishment, has thus passed from the con
trol of the founder. Next to Worth. Doucet
hsd become about the best known of the
French dressmakers. It used to be said of
Doucet that for many years he made only
neglige and evening toilets for French women
and was restricted by them to those stvles.
It whs the American women who first em
ployed him to make costumes ot another kind,
confident that a person with such taste could
succeed In other branches of his trade, Their
opinion was justified by his iieiiormnmes
wlien ho attempted this new departure, and it
was not long before the Paris women accepted
him in the line of work which tho Americans
suggested to him. M. Doucet had more than
tho usual fondness tor bis American patrons.
and felt that he. even more than the other fa
mous French tailors, owed his prosperity to
thorn, as without their initiative lie would
have continued forever probably only at tho
work which t' e French women were willing
to take from him.
Miss FJolse Morgan, who Is to sing this af
ternoon at the first Chlckerlng Hnll conoert. Is
gradually increasing In seriousness and dig
nity. It was she who suddenly disappeared
from the ranks of a Hoyt burlesque company
several years ago and was not heard of here
again until her friends learned that she had
gone to Europe to study stinting. She was at
that time one ot the young women in a small
chorus and played a boy's part. She was
known by a much more soubrettlsh name than
Elolse Morgan. After a few years she re
turned to New York and made her dchut in
comic opera under the dignified chaporonage
of the Bostontans In "Prince Ananias."
Then It was as Miss Elolse D. Morgan that she
lntroduood herself after the advantages of
foreign study and travel. The atmosphere of
comlo onera seemed to bo no more suited to
her taste than that of the Hoyt burlesque.
She soon dropped out, and now comes before
the public as a concert singer. This time
there Is no change ot name to mark the tran
sition from comic opera to classical concert.
If Miss Morgan, with or without the middle
Initial, shows the same improvement when she
appears before the concert audience this af
ternoon that she did two years ago. the lack
of the middle initial will never be noticed and
she will be welcomed back, whatever she calls
herself.
The action of the police in construing the
liquor law liberally in reference to the musio
halls ought to encourage those managers who
think that every theatre should have its own
bar and not be forced to send its patrons out
into the street when they leave their seats
between the acts. Some of them have bar
rooms so conveniently situated that a trip
through the streets is not at all necessary and
others have managed to make that trip a short
one. But It remains for the theatres to pos
sess their own bars as they exist in London.
Charles Frohmnn, who loarned the advantages
of the London plan from his experience in Eng
land, was the first of the managers to make an
effort toward establishing a bar for the pit
rons ot his Empire. Maurice Grau followod
his example, and the convenience of the ad
junct In the case of the Metropolitan was ap
preciated by everybody who has seen tho Pro
cessions of men turning up their coat collars
in a vain endeavor to protect themselves
against the combination ot the wintry air and
the exposure of evening dress. It cannot be
disputed, of course, that it would be better for
them to drink lemonade at. the buffet rather
than run such a risk : but so long ub they re
ject the lemonade they should not be com
pelled to face the chance of pneumonia. That
the theatre bar might be conducted under less
ilij.'iiitled conditions was well understood, and
in view of the charnoter of some entortaiu
ments that huvo lately invaded Broadway,
this possibility seemed greater than It was. At
least one of them is bad enough without the
aggravation of alcohol any more accessible
than It has been.
That the passion tor tho camera may be
deep enough to make its victim oblivious to
certain important considerations is welt
known, and the number of celebrities who
have complained of the annoyance caused by
it affords ample testimony of that. An amus
ing instance of the kodak's Influence has come
all the way from Porto Rica An officer in one
of New Yor't's volunteer regiments carried
his camera along with him and did not aban
don it even when the officers of his regiment,
along iwlth soinoeoffleers among the regulars,
went out to meet the Spanish officers of s cer
tain town to arrange the terms of surrender.
The parley proceeded amicablv and seemed
certain to oe brought to a satisfactory conclu
sion in. a short time. Just before the proceed
ings were to coino to an end one of the Span
ish officers suddenly showed signs of great ex
citement and communicated It to his comrados
rapidly. It was then that the Americans for
the first tlmo discovered the volunteer officer
absorbed In adjusting his camera In order to
get the best possible view of the group. Be
fore they had time to interfere and explain
the hnrmlessness of the Instrument there were
a few momenta of extreme uncertainty and
anxiety. If the settlement of the episode hod
not been ultimately satisfactory, the camera
might have deserved to be called something
more than an occasional nuisance.
The lively incident in the Gllsey House on
Wednesday might have been expected there at
any time previous to the proprietor's recent
ukase which expelled the prizefighters, agents,
backers and touts who used to occupy the
red velvet cushions from 5 to 7 in the after
noons and impress themselves in no Inconsid
erable manner on the aspect ot the hotel office.
Strangers coming into the hotel always won
dered at the curious collection of men usually
engaged In tho discussion of some apparently
serious question. When tho proprietor re
belled against tho dally gathering and com
pelled them to select another hotel as tho
scene of their afternoon deliberations, onlv
the notabilities of tho profession returned reg
ularly and wore allowed touvnll themselves of
all accommodations 'he hotel offered. They
wero undoubtedly morn profitable patrons
than the former representatives of the ring.
The latter usually confined themselves to tho
office lounges and rarely patronized the bar.
but they wero never responsible for any such
exciting episode as the meeting between Mr.
Corbett and Mr. McCoy. During the time of
their regular attendance at tho hotel, active
disturbances of tho peace were rare. They
wero only arranged for. But when only two
pugilists were left, and thoy the most con
spicuous in the public eye, the trouble began.
The former Ada Dare, who has married the
son of a wealthy brewer, wns always proud of
her resemblance to Lillian Russell, and was
once selected to play in a local burlesque a char
acter which was supposed to represent the
singer. For this part Miss Dare was chosen
rather on account of her personal beauty than
her powers as an actress. Long after It was
believed that she was to marry Frank F.hret
she continued to appear on the variety stage,
giving two performances a day under circum
stances unlikely to add to her reputation and
certainly not of a kind to dlmtnlsn the labor of
her profession. That she should continue In
her profession with so wealthy a husband in
prospect was Incomprehensible to tiiose per
sons who were not aware of the attractiveness
which stage life odds to the young woman ad
mired by the set in which Mr. Ehret moves.
These young meu find a fascination In the
fact that u pretty woman is on tho stage, oen
if she be only In the chorus. So Miss Dare
continued to uet in two shows a day even with
the prospect of millions in sight. Apart from
this admiration which her devotion to art ex
cited. Miss Dare had other evidences of her
present husband's devotion as well as of his
wealth. It was said when their ungagomout
was first announced that alio had oeen en-
f rated to another admirer and received from
i in many valuable presents. In order that
there should be some compensation for her
loss, Mr. Ehret is said to have paid in full the
oost of all these jewels, for which he asked a
bill that should omit none of them. He got
the bill and paid It.
Some knowledge about New York that was the
property of a comparative few can be got out of
agulde book recently published and treating of
New York city with the same scientific thor
oughness that it tells of foreign cities. An es
timate of New York compared with the other
great oitlea ot the world, so far as the fact
contained in a guide book are concerned, could
not be better acquired. It is naturally to the
list ot familiar resorts that one turns llret In the
hope of getting an outside opinion of New
York's attractions. In the list of restaurants
the greatest difference Is to he found. One
guide book mentions in Its lint places well
known here aud others in remote localities
which New Yorkers who set out to ilnd a res
taurant are not likely to explore. Only those
mentioned are recommended, and some that
are totally unknown to the man who think
himself familial' with title side of New York lit
are recommended highly by means of the ous

A SCHOONER'S PERILOUS TRIP.
The Evolution, Willi a Cargo of Salt, Elghty-
oae Days from Liverpool to Halifax. I
Halifax. N. 8., Oct. 3. The three-masted
schooner Evolution, owned in Hi. John. N. 11 ,
arrived to-night from Liverpool with a oargoof
salt, after a perilous voyage of eighty-one days.
No sooner had ahe left Liverpool, on July 1.
than the vessel encountered a series of gale
culminating, on Sept. 4, in a hurricane, which
carried away nart of the rigging and started
her leaking. It was all the crew could do
by constant work at the pumps to keep the
water down.
The salt became saturated and much of it
was jettisoned to assist in keeping the vessel
afloat. The voyage was so long that provisions
and water almost ran out and the crew had,
to go on short allowance.
When the Evolution put in to-night the crew
were exhausted from overwork and lack of
sufficient food. They could not have held out
much longer.
