EXCISE WAR ON STATEN ISLAND.

Excitement 1t Edgewater Yesterday
Sentence en- the Forty Offenders To BE
Passed Next Thursday-Justice Gar.
rett's Warning.
An excited crowd Of spectators gathered at the
Edgewater Police Court yesterday, in the expecta
ton OF hearing sentence pronounced on the forty
liquor sellers who were arrested on the past two
Sundays for breach OF the Excise law. The
excitement all over the island Is very great on
the subject, as Sunday lager is now considered,
with sorrow, thing OF the past. The proceedings
were opened by the arraignment of Daniel Klein
who keeps garden and lager beer establishment
where the huilabaio0 raised on Sunday, our
ing the day, Is reported by the neigh
bors to be somewhat frightful, and where
night Is made hideous At this point in the pro-
Rawson would put In an appearance and plead on
behalf OF the people, but as on previous occasions,
he was conspicuous by his absence. In this state
Of the matter Mr.. Vermylie, counsel for the lager
beer men, moved that the case be dismissed, as
mis- clients have now oil taken out licenses and
will keep their establishments closed, both front
and back doors, for the future. He also said that
sion TO sell liquor every day in the year,
State law had altered that state OF things.
Justice Garrett, who has been handled without
gloves by the church and temperance societies OF
Edgewater for not having fined the forty offenders
according to law, told his listeners that II any OF
them present were arrested for selling liquor next
Sunday, he would be fined at least $50. He said
further that he would pass sentence on the forty
who have been arrested next Thursday Lively
times on the island next Sunday and numerou us
arrests are expected.

THE TIME OF HAMLET.
. fAe Ed,tor OF The tribune.

TO ihe bd1tor OF Jhe Trtouaes
SIR A recent letter from youn admirable
Boston correspondent refers 20 myself in connection
with article the time Of Hamlet by the late Geo.
b. Woods that places in a somewhat ialse position.
An essay Of mine Hamlet that appeared in The Atlantic
Monthly about two years ago called forth rejoinder
IN The Boston Advertiser, wherein my argument
that the action Of the tragedy did not cover moro than
ten days pronounced "strong steel-except one
link" the writer. Mr. Woods finding the flaw and prov
tng the action not days but between two and
three months The moment this acute criticism appeared
saw Mt Woods, thanked him for being quiokerwltted
than myself and only excused my own blindness on the
of that perennial hurry in which journalist plus
lecturer Ia doomed to live. At that time determined
the republication Of my essay to make the necessary
correction, giving due credit to Mr. Woods. and regret
that his editor did not allow mo an opportunity OF
settng myself right with the public well as OF laying
n flower upon the grave Of friend, the aertness OF
whose mind was only eaualed by the integrity OF his
character am proud to say it was The Atlantic essay
that inspired Mr. Woodss research and am glad to say
that IN this matter two heads we're better than one
The time of Hamlet is settled heneeforth and for ever
more Very truly yours NATE FIELD
