THOSE FLAGS SHALL NEVER GO.
BY COMRADE E. F« JENNINGS.
Oh, well we all remember,
Though many years ago,
Our good ship lay at Hampton Roads
In sight of Fort Monroe;
Our flag was proudly waving,
Our men were full of glee,
When the rebel monster *• Merrimac ’
Bore down upon our lee;
Our boys rushed to their quarters,
Loud did the cannons roar,
Our crew could not be conquered
Thoilgh Our decks were red with gorej
But our good ship sank beneath ug
Never more to breast wave.
Gone'a the with her crew,
nut 0-32 co i ovß we did aave I
So bold fast to those boys,
Never let them pc away,
Remember brave •• Cumberland,”
Rome’iuer Mobile Bay 1
s£o P greet old foes with heart and hand
A And do all that we know
To help them to forget the past,
But those flags must never go 1
At New Orleans, Port Hudson, too,
Victorious were our tars,
And Farragut at Mobile Bay
Captured the stars and bars
That long waved proudly o er their forts,
Ne’er dreaming of defeat
But soon were made to kiss the ground
By our gallant Yankee fleet.
And shall those emblems, hardly won,
Be given back again.
To serve some politician’s end
Who cares not for the pain
And blood it cost to win them ?
No ! we hereby let them know
That while we’ve life to guard them
Those flags shall never go 1
So hold fast to the flags, my boys.
Don’t let them go away,
Remember the brave *• Cumberland,”
Remember Mobile Bay 1
We’ll meet old lore with open hands
And do all that we know
To help them to forget the past,
But those flags shall never go I
KOLTES POST 8 PICNIC.
Tuesday last was as beautiful a day as any mem
ber of Koltes Post could have desired for its annual
camp-fire and festival, and the post furnished a
picnic that was worthy of the day and of itself. At
an early hour in the afternoon many comrades filed
into the spacious grounds 0! the Empire City Colos
seum. and in a short time were busily engaged in
shooting lor the handsome badges offered as prizes.
Comrade Ferd. Hofele of Dahlgren Post, with his
usual skill and luck, was Vhe winner of the first
prize—an exceedingly beautiful gold G. A. R. badge
although he was somewhat indebted for his good
fortune to Comrade Piponbring, of Koltes Post, who
tied the score made by Comrade Hofele, but out of
courtesy to a visiting comrade, declined to contest
further lor the first prize, and was awarded the
second, which was also a gold Grand Army badge.
Then came the shooting lor badges, open to all com
ers. The two gold badges were won by Max Kern
and John Schutz, and the silver badges by A. Stol
zenberger and L. Baird. At three o’clock time was
called for the games, and the spectators enjoyed
themselves by watching the contestants in the pole
climbing, sack racing and egg racing performances,
While a Punch and Judy show afforded entertain
ment to the children. Dress parade took place at
Bix o’clock, followed by addresses from Comrade
Major Willard Bullard, Chaplain Philip Betz, Gen.
Franz Sigel and Col. Ed. Roe hr.
By this time the spacious pavilion was thronged
With the devotees of the mazy, who glided and
Whirled to the inspiriting music of Prof. Kauer’s
Koltes Post band, and never ceased their efforts
until near morning, when the many musicians re
minded them of •' Home, Sweet Home.” The at
tendance was very large, and the arrangements
first class. Not an unpleasant incident occurred to
mar the enjoyableness of the occasion.
Among the guests were Chairman Copp and Sec
retary Atkinson, of the Memorial Committee; Past

A DISAI POINTMENT.
It was expected that R. E. Lee Camp of Confederate
Veterans, of Richmond Va., would stop in this city
on their return from Boston, and Steinwehr Post,
Commander Ferd Levy, had made preparations to
give the “ toys in gray” and their friends a fitting
reception. But last Sunday Commander Levy re
ceived a dispatch stating that the Southern visitors
had decided to go through New York without stop
ping, having become thoroughly tired out by the
hospitalities extended to them in Boston, Lynn and
other New England towns. In accordance with this
determination, the party numbering about 170 in all,
left Boston last Sunday night by rail, arriving in
this city about three o’clock Monday morning, and
with the exception of about a dozen members of Lee
Camp, immediately proceeded to Jersey City and
took a southern.bound train. No general reception
was given to the few who remained behind, as their
purpose was not known until too late, but they
were taken in charge by individual members of
Steinwehr Post, and their stay rendered as pleasant
as possible under the circumstances. Several
of them visited Comrades Lammers and Seiden
stock, and afterward proc eded to Kosmak s, in Park
Row, where they were met by Coroner Levy, Com
mander of Steinwehr Post, Coroner Nugent and
other comrades.
Later in the day a sort of informal camp-fire was
held at Comrade Von Bericke’s restaurant in the
Bowery, and a general good time was had. Among
those present were General C. H. Anderson, who is
in command of the Virginia militia, and Comrades
Gilman, Horn, Rosendorf and Bowles, of Lee Camp,
While the veterans of the blue were represented by
Commander Levy and Comrades Dimmers, Basch,
Beidenstock, Von Boericke, |and other mem
bers of Steinwehr Post. The visitors express
ed themselves as being surprised as wall as gratified
by the cordiality and heartiness of their reception
in Boston and elsewhere, and announced their de
termination of beating things when the Steinwehr
boys visit Richmond this Summer. The latter body
feels much disappointed at not being.permitted to
show Lee Camp a sample of its hospitality,but hopes
for better luck next time.
GEN. FAIRCHILD 'JO VISIT NEW JERSEY.
To-morrow will be a great day in Newark, N. J.
Commander-in-Chief Fairchild will visit that city, a
reception having been tendered him by Lincoln
Post, 11, Department of New Jersey, and the vet
erans of the State will make it a gala day. Depart
ment Commander Wheeler has issued tin order re
questing every post and every comrade in the State
to participate in the reception, and thousands of
veterans are expected to be on hand. General Fair
child will arrive in Newark at two o’clock in the
afternoon, and will receive the comrades of the De
partment at the headquarters of Lincoln Post, No.
840 Broad street, until five o’clock. In the evening
he will review a parade of the posts in attendance.
After the procession, the comrades and their guests
well assemble in one of the halls of the city, where
an interesting programme will be provided, includ
ing addresses by the Commander-in-Chief and other
prominent comrades. The line of march in the
evening will be short, and the line will move
promptly at half-past seven in the evening.
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC REUNION.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last the
annual reunion of the Society of the Army of the
Potomac took place at Saratoga, The weather was
extremely unpropitious, but the attendance was
good, and the enthusiasm so genuine that even a
deluge could not have checked it. Routine busi
ness was the first thing in order, and officers were
elected for the ensuing year. They are: General J.
C. Robinson, of Binghamton, N. Y., President;
General Horatio C. King, of Brookyn, Recording
Secretary; General George H. Sharp, Cor. Secretary;
and Colonel Samuel Truesdell, oi New York City,
Treasurer.
Many distinguished comrades were in attendance,
among them Generals Wm. T. Sherman, H. W. Slo
cum, F. C. Barlow, M. T. McMahon, Daniel E. Sic
kles, Lucius Fairchild, A. W. Greely, N. W. Day,
Joseph B. Carr and N. M. Curtis; Majors L. W.
Brackett, Daniel F. Wright and J. H. Stiller; Col.
H. S. Chatfield and Col. Fred. D. Grant.
In the afternoon there was a procession, in the
midst of a pouring rain, the Sixty-ninth Regiment,
of this city, and the Fourteenth Regiment, of
Brooklyn, under the command of Gen. James
McLeer, escorting the veterans. The line was re
viewed by Governor Hill and Generals Sherman and
feickles. In the evening Chauncey M. Depew deliv
ered an oration in the Casino, and on Thursday the
reunion was brought to a close with a banquet.
The next reunion will be held at Gettysburg, on
July 1, 2 and 3, 1888, and the survivors of the Army
of Northern Virginia will be invited to meet with
the society.
REUNION IN NEW JERSEY.
There was a great time in Plainfield, N. J., on the
16th Inst., the occasion being the reception tendered
to the survivors of the Eleventh Regiment, New
Jersey Volunteers, by Winfield Scott Post, of Plain
field. The regiment was a notable one. It fought
Its first battle at Fredericksburg, and from that
time on took part in every battle fought by the
Army of the Potomac.
Commander William Hand and many other com
rades of Scott Post having also been members of
the regiment, wore extremely happy to once more
welcome their old assooiates. Among the distin
guished guests were Generals Sickles, McAllister
and Carr, and Col. John Schoonover. The reception
was hol'd at Music Hall. Mayor Male, who was to
have made the opening address, could not do so on
account of ill-health, although he was present, so
Rev. Dr. Lewis performed the duty in an eloquent
and impressive manner. Then General Sickles was
enthusiastically cheered and gracefully acknowl
edged the compliment. Chaplain E. C. Clin? was
next introduced, and made a rousing speech. After
further speec-hmaking, all present adjourned to
Reform Hall, where a bountiful dinner had been
spread by the committee in charge, consisting of
Comrades Hand, Smith and Doane, who were assist
ed by the ladies of the Relief Corps.
A pleasant incident was the presentation of a cake
to General Sickles by Mrs. Eliza Terry, an old lady
of 76 years, who had three sons in the corps of which
he was the commander. The cake, which was
made by Mrs. Terry’s own hands, was beautifully
decorated and surmounted by a miniature United
States flag.
At a business meeting held by the veterans in the
rooms of Winfield Scott Post, resolutions were
adopted, thanking the post, the ladies of the Relief
Corps, and the Mayor and citizens of Plainfield for
the hospitality shown them. A resolution con
demning the action of President Cleveland in or
dering the restoration of Southern battle flags was
also adopted. The next reUfilQß will be held at
Morristown, June 14, 1888.
A COMRADE THANKED, J

forts in framing—having passed and signed—the
bill amending Chapter 312 of the laws of 1884, giv
ing preference to honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors in public employ.”
As many comrades have in all probability not
seen the amended law, the Dispatch publishes it
for their benefit. It is as follows:
Section 1. Chapter three hundred and twelve of
the laws of eighteen hundred and eighty-four, enti
tled *• An act respecting the employment of honora
bly discharged Union soldiers and sailors in the
public service of the State of New York,” is hereby
amended so as to read as follows:
Sec. 1. In every public department and upon all
public works of the State of New York, and of the
cities, towns and villages thereof, and also in non
competitive examinations under the civil service
laws, rules or regulations ; of the same, wherever
they apply, honorably discharged Union soldiers
and sailors shall be preferred for appointment and
employment; age, loss of limb or other physical im
pairment which does not, in fact, incapacitate, shall
not be deemed to disqualify them, provided they
possess the business capacity necessary to discharge
the duties of the position involved.
Sec. 2. All officials or other persons having power
of appointment to or employment in the public
service, as set forth in the first section of this act,
are charged with a faithful compliance with its
terms, both in letter and in spirit, and a failure
therein shall be a misdemeanor.
Sec. 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
MANSFIELD POST’S EXCURSION.
Mansfield Post, which holds the first place in
point of numbers in this Department, and is second
to none in any other respect, will give its seventh
annual excursion on Monday. July 11. The steam
boats “Long Branch” and ‘’Myers,” and the barges
“Charles Spear,” “Susquehanna,” “Walter Sauds’’
and “William Myers” will convey the excursionists

Tighe has secured the services of a corps of bagpipe
players. Past Commander Martin Short is said to
have charged Comrade Tighe with doing this, for
the purpose of exhibiting his proficiency in jigs,
reels and breakdowns. A committee of fifty com
rades has been appointed to take full charge of the
arrangements, and the exenrsion will be one oi the
finest of the season, and result in the addition of a
large sum to the post relief fund. Privileges on the
boats and barges will be sold at 8:30 P. M. to-mor
row evening.
sweet words fob the ladies.
Comrade Schenck, who was formerly a member
of Reno Post, of this city, but who is now located
in South Norwalk, Conn., writes to the Dispatch as
follows:
“ As I know the Dispatch is a great admirer of the
ladies, I wish it would thank, in behalf of the vet
erans, the members of the Woman’s Relief Corps
auxiliary to Admiral Foote Post, of New Haven, lor
the kind manner in which they treated the stragglers
last Friday. We were thirsty, and they gave us drink;
hungry, and they fed us. They seemed to have an
inexhaustible supply of good things in the post
rooms, which we were only too glad to get outside
of. lam happy to be able to send you the names of
some of these noble and patriotic women. They
are: Mrs. 8. C. Goodrich, President of the corps;
Mrs. F. R. Martin. Dept. Chaplain, and Mesdames
Stinner, Baldwin, Harold, White, Hitchcock, Tuttle,
Shepard, Potter, Adams, Foster and Miss Potter.
Too much praise cannot be awarded them.”

A NEW COMMANDER.
At the regular encampment of E. H. Wade Post,
held at headquarters, No. 276 Bleeckor street, on
the 22d Inst., Paet Commander John A. Blair was
unanimouly elected Commander for the unexpired
term of David Thom, resigned. The best of feeling
prevailed, and Commander Blair was immediately
installed by Past Commander William Butler of the
same poet. The members, who in the past have
witnessed the zeal and energy of Commander Blair
are well pleased to have him at the head of the post
once more. The quarterly report of the Quarter
master* shows that the post is in an excellent condi
tion, financially and otherwise. There is about
SSOO in the post fund and an equal amount in the
relief fund. Beginnug with a membership of
thirty, less than three years ago.the post now num
bers 190 members, a showing it may well be proud
of.
Commander Blair has signalized his accession to
the command of the post by sending to the mem
bers the following circular:
CIRCULAR.
“Comrade: The events which Caro constantly
transpiring and the many phases which the pension
laws have assumed during the past two or three
years should make it obligatory upon every member
of the G. A. R. to zealously watch their interests;
and as all of us are reaching an age nearer to the
God of Battles, permit me to call your attention to
your duty by standing 'shoulder to shoulder’ with
your comrades, and by a solid unanimity of pur
pose obtain that which a grateful Republic is will
ing to bestow upon its saviors. By at all times
preserving our permanence as an organization, and
presenting a solid front, we will never be robbed of
our just rights, but by becoming laggards and not
doing our duty to each other as comrades in arms
we will not succeed. A nation of grateful people is
willing to do us homage at all times. To preserve
our organization entire it requires but a slight
sacrifice upon our part, and our dues to the organi
zation are but trivial to its beneficiaries, and just
at this time. I would urge upon all who have been
or are members of this post to communicate with
it; and every effort will be made to assist in rein
stating those who may have by force of untoward
circumstances, by sickness, misfortune or other
honorable circumstances, to"place them in good
standing in an honorable and uncompromising
manner. As we are growing older and the youngest
member of our organization has passed the merid
ian of life, we hope that you will recognize the old
and truthful motto that in “Union there is
strength.” There is, then, no excuse on the part oi
any of our members to allow our organization to
falter in its great work in behalf of its members
and the eternal principles of Fraternity, Charity
and Loyalty.
Post, Commander Herman Thum, on
Tuesda.-W st, turned out in a body, headed by the
band ana arum corps, and attended the obsequies
of George Fenn, who, at the time of his death, was
a member of the post. The deceased formerly be
longed to Company A, Forty-first Regiment, N. Y.
Vols. The interment was in the plot of Koltes
Post, Lutheran Cemetery.
COMPLIMENTARY.
The Dispatch publishes the following letter from
a Brooklyn comrade, not only in the hope that ho
may acquire the information he seeks, but also as a
specimen of the many kind and cheering messages
received, which show that the efforts of the Dis
patch in behalf of the veterans, are fully and warm
ly appreciated:
Brooklyn, June 23, 1887.
Editor of the Neto York Dispatch : I find upon read
ing the editorials and the numerous letters which
regularly appear in the Dispatch, that you take a
very prominent stand in order to afford reliable in
formation to your anxious readers upon any and
every subject referred to you for such purpose.
And knowing that you have at all times, in weal or
in woo, taken the part and advocated the rights of
all loyal citizens, and most prominently of those
who, in times of grievous trial, risked their lives in
defense of the principles of the Constitution of these
United States, and who fought for and upheld the
American Flag on many a contested battlefield
against traitorous rebels, when men's souls were
truly and fearfully tried. I, therefore, as an old
Union soldier, who served in the war, both during
and subsequent to the late rebellion, and holding
two honorable discharges, most respectfully solicit
your friendly aid and the universally acknowledged
influence wielded by you through the medium of the
columns of the Dispatch, throughout the country,
with the object to enable me to ascertain the names
and present addresses of any members of Company
I, of the Second Regiment, U. 8. Infantry, who were
stationed at Huntsville, Alabama, in December,
1869, previous to their departure for Summerville,
Georgia, in January, 1870. As it is a matter of great
interest to the writer and to many others equally
concerned, any reliable intelligence upon the sub
ject will be most thankfully acknowledged and duly
appreciated, both personally to the iadlvidua’s
communicating and through the columns of your
valuable paper, as the soldier's true friend, by

A story is being told at the expense of some of the
gallant members of the Sixty-ninth. Having been
ordered to Saratoga by the Governor during the
meeting of the Society of the Army of the Potomac,
and having always heard of Saratoga as a “watering*
place,” they resolved not to get left, and, as the
story goes, quickly depleted the Bowery stores of
all the bathing suits they contained. On their
arrival in Saratoga one of the particularly enthusi
astic “soger boys” rushed to his room in the
hotel, and quickly donning his bathing suit, re
appeared before his admiring comrades and ex
claimed: “Be Hevens, byes, O’m willin to bet any

“dip” is not recorded.

The Board of Fire Commissioners met as usual
last Wednesday morning, with President Purroy in
the chair.
NO TRIALS.
There were no trials of any negligent or delin
quent officers or men.
SICK FIREMEN.
The medical officers reported that there were
forty-two sick and disabled officers and men on
their lists.
ADVANCED.
Upon the recommendation of Chief Engineer
Shay, the Board advanced thirty-two third.grade
firemen to the second grade.
FINED.
Fireman Michael P. Crowley, of Engine Company
No. 27, who was tried last week lor not having
enough steam in the engine to “run ’’ when it got
to a fire, and upon whom the Board suspended
judgment pending an investigation by Chief Shay,
was fined the loss of two days' pay, the Chief find
ing the engine was in good order, and the reason
the apparatus did not have enough steam on was
owing to Crowley s negligence.
THE McOABE CASE.
When the fire reporter of the Dispatch asked the
Commissioners what action they would take re
garding the decision of the Court of Appeals re
storing Second Assistant-Chief John McCabe to the
place from which he was dismissed last year, they
said that when they got a or the de
cision they would communicate with the Corpora,
tion Counsel as to what course they should pursue.
THE FIRE TELEGRAPH.
Mr. J. Elliot Smith, the Superintendent of Fire
Telegraph, sent in a communication stating that the
fire alarm telegraph had been finally moved from
the old headquarters in Mercer street to the new
building, and the entire control of the system was
now complete, aud with all the facilities, it could
be safely said that the system was second to none in
this country.
He deemed it appropriate to congratulate the
Board upon having provided the necessary means
for the successful carrying out of the much-needed
change, whereby absolute immunity from danger
of destruction of this important auxiliary to the
department, and many added improvements are ee
cured.
CHIEF McCABE’S REINSTATEMENT.
Last Friday afternoon the Corporation Counsel
sent the following opinion to the hire Commission
ers in relation to the reinstatement of Second As
sistant Chief Engineer John McCabe:
“1 have received your letter of 22d instant in re
lation to the case of People ex rel. McCabe against
the Fire Commissioners. The appeal from the de
cision of the Supreme Court, directing the relator to
be reinstated in the position of Second Assistant
Chief of the Fire Department, has been dismissed
by the Court of Appeals, and the judgment of the
Su; reme court should be enforced so soon as the
remittitur has been received and formal notice of
judgment thereon served upon you.
“Under this judgment Mr. McCabe must be re
stored to the position of Second Assistant Chief,
and such changes as may be necessary in order to
accomplish that end, must be ordered by the Com
missioners.
“ I do not find any provision of statute which fix
es the number of assistapt chiefs or other subordi
date officers in the department.
“ Section 427 provides that there shall be a prin
cipal officer of the bureau lor preventing and extin
guishing fires, who shall be called chief of depart
ment.
“ The number of assistant chiefs, chiefs of bat
taiions, foremen, etc., does not seetn to be limited
by statute, and, I suppose, is fixed by the resolu
tion of the Commissioners of the Department, pur
suant to authority conferred by section 48 of the
charter, which provides as follows: 'The number
and duties of all officers, clerks, employees and sub
ordinates in every department, except as otherwise
herein specifically provided, with their respective
salaries, whether now fixed by special law or other
wise, shall be such as the heads of the respective
departments shall designate and approve; but sub
ject also to the revision of the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment; provided, however, that the
entire aggregate expense thereof shall not exceed
the total amount duly appropriated to the respect
ive departments for such purposes.”
“There is, therefore, ample authority vested in
the department to make any change necessary to be
made in order to effect compliance with the judg
ment of the Court.
“The Court says: *The transfer of men from one
department of the force to another to accommodate
the requirements of the public service is not, either
in any general or special sense, a removal of the
person so trans erred.’
“Such transfer may be made, notwithstanding the
fact that the compensation to be received by the
person so transferred is thereby diminished.
“I therefore advise you that Mr. McCabe should
be reinstated in his position, and such changes
made as may be necessary to bri»g the expense of
the department for salaries within the amount ap
propriated to the department for that purpose.”

THE VOLUNTEER FIREMEN S ASSOCIATION.
The regular monthly* meeting of the Volunteer
Firemen’s Association was held last Friday evening,
Mr. Michael Crane, the President, in the chair. The
minutes of the last meating, containing the new
By-Laws, were read and approved. A member was
suspended for three months, on the recommenda
tion of the Board of Directors, for disorderly con
duct at headquarters.
A list of delinquent members was read, and they
were given until July 15th, at which time, if their
dues are not paid up, the Secretary is directed to
drop them from the roll of membership without
further notice. Delinquents for ball tickets and
dues were also dropped. A motion to authorize
the Board of Directors to prepare a change in the
charter, so as to hereafter elect the directors for
terms of one, two and three years, was defeated, as
the evils of such a system are too manifest, espe
cially for the formation of rings, etc.
Chairman John J. Finn read the report of the
committee on conference which was adverse to
taking part in a parade of the firemen of this city in
October next, as dangerous to the interest of the wid
ows and orphans of exempt firemen in view of the hos-

tile attitude of the enemies of the fund, and the re.
port was adopted almsst unanimously. A communi
cation was received from the chairman ot the confer
ence committee of the Exempts, also stating that in
their judgment it would be unwise to have a parade
in October, as it might cause the Paid Fire Depart,
ment to feel unpleasant to see the old Volunteers
celebrate their two per cent, victory; but immedi
ately following is a recommendation that they have
substituted the 13th day of October, and are to
celebrate it as the forty-fifth anniversary of the
association of Exempt Firemen, and asking the
Volunteer Association!© participate.
The latter almost unanimously laid the commu
nication upon the table. The Volunteers were the
means of preserving to the Exempt’s trustees the
continuance of the land in its entirety. If the Ex
empts are foolish enough to engage in a parade at a
time when the political factions in this city are
fighting for suprdTuacy to the bitter end, they jnay
do so. The Volunteers have performed & sacred
duty in protecting the fund—they neither seek nor
ask any part in its distribution. Having accom
plished its missis mfist now leave tQ the
ompts the duty of guarding its invests. If that
can best be done by R'ldvriug fire politicians seeking
nominations and political preference to run their
affairs, they are welcome to do so; the Volunteers
will take no hand in it, and it may as weil be so
understood.
The secretary of the ball committee made a final
report, showing a handsome amount for the relief
fund. A list of inembers names in arrears was re
ferred to the directors for settlement.
A resolution was adopted directing the secretary
to notify the chairman of the Bartholdi celebration
to make his report and close up the account im
mediately.
The association unanimously re-elected the last
delegate to the State Firemen’s Association to again
represent them at the convention, which is to be
held at Troy in August next. Thirty.two new mem
bers were elected and fourteen candidates were
proposed.
The board of directors submitted a report of re
ceipts and disbursements for the last quarter, which
showed a heavy drain upon tne resources of the
fund. Thos. J. Casey was elected a director to fill a
vacancy.
The committee on apparatus asked for and ob
tained permission to use the newly purchased
double-deck engine on their trip to Troy—the report
states that the engine was obtained from a company
in Alexandria, Va. —of which George Washington
was at one time an honorary member —the engine
is of more recent date than was the hatchet, how
ever.
Women's Tongues.
THEY WILL WAG AND CAUSE
TROUBLE.
A middle-aged, intelligent-looking lady applied to
Justice Naeher, in Williamsburg, yesterday, for
protection against the rowdy|assaults of a woman
whose tongue she stated stung her worse than
would the point of a poniard. The lady, who was
accompanied by one of her daughters, a handsome
young woman, said that her name was Mrs. James
McCabe, and that she lived in a flat at No. 161
Greenpoint avenue. Underneath her in the same
house is the widow Dooley. The la’tter, a day or
two ago, and on several occasions previously, de
nounced Mrs. McCabe and her six daughtersand
made assertions which seriously reflected on the
good name of the young ladies. Mrs. McCabe was
told that her only redress was in a civil suit. To a
Dispatch reporter she made the following state
ment:
“ I am a sister of the late Judge Flannigan, of Bos
ton, and my husband, James McCabe, is employed
in New York. The trouble between Dooley and
ourselves began on New Year’s night. My daugh
ters, as bad been our custom for years, kept open
house New Year’s day and received many callers.
They performed on the piano and sang. Mrs. Doo
ley’s daughter, who resides in New York, came to
our apartments and introduced herself as a Mrs.
Whitman, of New York. She remained through the
day and evening and next day when we received
lady callers. That evening my husband escorted
her home. I thought nothing of the matter for a
few weeks, as I am no way suspicious or jealous,
and supposed that a young woman dressed in
the richest kind of garments and wearing large
costly diamonds, would pay no heed to a man of
my husband’s years, until a change came over my
husband and I hoard certain things about him and
Mrs. Whitman.
•1 went to New York and discovered that Mrs.
Whitman was also known by the name of Mrs.
Henry, and that my husband went to a beer saloon
at Third avenue aud Eighteenth street with her
that night. My husbahd told Mrs. Whitman or
Henry about my discovery and Mrs. Dooley has
been abusing us ever since. I asked Mrs. Whitman
when she called at my rooms about the matter, and
how it was that she went by the name of Henry.
She said that Mr. Whitman was her rich uncle. He
is a wealthy gentleman, a millionaire, and a member
of a prominent German club in New York, and I
don't think he would be pleased if he knew she took
his name. Mrs. Whitman abused us last Wednes
day, and called my married daughter bad names.
A young man named Van Dusen, who kept com
pany with me before I was married, passed last New
Year’s evening at our house, and Mrs. Whitman ac
cused me last Wednesday with being too friendly
with him, said Mrs. Van Dusen. It made trouble
for mo with my husband, but he knows that the ac
cusation is false.”

Still “They are indeed the most won-
derlul thing I ever saw.”
An artist from Connecticut,
Proprietor of a large art
gallery there, says he had a
friend that was promptly cured
by their use.
A prominent artist, and the
’ proprietor of one of the largest
T| and finest art galleries in New
York city, sent to Dr. Baird on
Saturday morning for two box
es, saying: "The box I tried proved so beneficial that I
wish to continue their use.”
A prominent business man of Newark, N. J., says: “I
suffered much from habitual constipation. I never saw
anything to equal them in prompt and curative effects.”
Others write that they have been cured of pil es of long
standing by their use, in five days. Certainly for all de
rangements of the body, due to improper action of the
glar.du ar system, as the glands of secretion and excre
tion, ” they promptly and surely cure.” Being purely
vegetable, they are harmless.
A gentleman from Newark, N. J., orders them the

Granules would not be without them ter anything. All
recommend them very highly. I never took any medi
cine that helped me so much as your Granules, and I
can tell you I have spent lots of money already for my
complaint, dyspepsia and kidney trouble.
“My brother would not be without them, neither
would Mrs. •.’>
Being founded on a new principle of cure, viz., by act

After nearly a quarter of a century’s experience as an ex
hibitor and conductor of the most gigantic amusement
enterprise 8, has the great pleasure of announcing to the
citizens oi New York and vicinity, that he has, tor the
first time in his managerial career, been enabled to se
cure an eligible location for the Great Forepaugh Show,
by a happy coalition with the Staten Island Amusement
Company, upon whose broad fields, and in their shady
groves, he will establish fora brief season,
COMMENCING TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 28TH,
