The sale begun a Brooklyn navy yard to-day
of condemned United States war YES els. The
Guerrero and the Albany were first sold. The
former brought S54 600, and the latter $4,000.
1t is rumored that Police Commissioner Sigis-
mond Kaufman Of Brooklyn will resign on the
grounds That there are more commissioners
than are necessary, and that the position takes
too much of his time from the practice of his
profession as lawyer 1t is believed that the
vacancy will not be filed
The funeral of Maude Merrill, murdered in a
house of i'll fame, Tuesday, took place to-day.
Considerable difficulty was experienced in pro-
curing a clergyman to perform the funeral SER
vice, but finally Rev j. B. Pouner, pastor of the
North Baptist church, consented TO officate

weeks ago, when the bank was robbed Of $780,
900 in securities.
New YORK, Dec. Mdaight.-It appears
that the broker who to-day purchased some of
the bonds stolen from the Waterford IN. W
bank, discovered that, though the original
vouchers have been replaced by others, the old
figures had not been thoroughly eradicated. 1t
appears that Sanvolle, who was arrested to-day,
was one of the directors, and the paving teller
OF the Montreal branch Of the Bank OF British
North America.
He absconded from Montreal, and after his
disappearance 1t was ascertaned that he had
de.rauded the bank out Of various sums,
amounting to between s250,O00 and $500 900. II
Is asserted that these sums were obtained by
changing checks on the bank from small to large
denominations. Checks drawn for five hundred
pounds or dollars, would be- after he had paid
them, raised to five thousand pounds. The
lorgeres and populations were concealed for
several months,

George William Curtis in the Lyceum
Course.

-
Course.
George William Curtis delivered his new Ice.
ture on ''Women in the 0den Time and in the
New" in the Lyceum course at Mechanics hall
last evening. The audience was very large and
complimented the speaker with close attention
and occasional outbursts of applause Mr..
Curtis began by saying: What a golden age
the olden time seems to us. How reverend and
romantic the figures appear there. Somehow
beauty grows more beautiful, and valor more
heroic, and we seem thrown into the lees OF
time and live in the worlds decrepitude. Bat
knowledge wrestles with Imagination, and we
find we are living poetry and heroism to-day.
We look back three hundred years and
gentle. Philip Sydney, the flower OF En-
glish gentlemen, seems heroic, as, MORALLY
wounded upon the field of battle, he gives to
dying comrade his last cup of cold water. He
is hero OF romance, but lie is not more heroic
than was the gunner upon the field of Gettys-
burg. MORALLY wounded, he cried to a COM
rade, Johnny, Johnny, for the love of God,
give me drop ofwater," and the answer came,
Jimmy, Jimmy, there is not drop in my can
teen, andiI 90 to fetch it the enemy will have
the guns" mo matter, then," said the diving
soldier, "stick to your guns" and when the
victorious line advanced it was over Jimmv's
dead body. Does it need three hundred wears
TO make that sacrifice as noble as Sir phrin
Syduey's? Simmons, the brave engineer of the
Hudson river railroad, was every bit as heroic
as Horatius defending the bridge across the
Tiber. Leonidas, Shylock, Romeo, Bluebeard
Penelope, all live again in the present day. So
