THE SECRET INVESTIGATION

To THE EpfroR HEnAr.D:-
The Mayors examinaton--or whatever II may be
callod-of the charges preferred against the Police
Department by Commissioner Erhardt is still con-
1ucted with closed doors. The singular proceedings
have now occupied more than week. and the mys-
terry Of the inner executive chamber, guarded by
darkencd windows and . burly policeman at every
door, remains undiscovered. II Is not easy undcr
stand why 50 long time should have been
sumed in receiving Mr.. Erhardts information
against his associates, IL it necessary for
the Mayor to shut out and lock out the people from
all knowledge of the progress OF inquiry in which
they are deeply Interested. and to dcbar accused
parties from the common right of facing their
cusers and hearing their testimony. What the citi-
of New York want to know s whether their

progresses. III he locks himself up with Mr.. Erhardt

in dealing with this question Of improving the
dwellings of the working classes 1t was OF
vital importance to remember that from these tene-
ment houses went forth terrible record of
crime and pauperisn. A little reflection about the
matter would easily convince even the most mex

stances, expect ii to be otherwise DR.. Harris then
spoke of the social life of the city and the serious
aspect of the tenement house problem

The clergy Of this city. representing different re-
hgous bodies, met few days ago to discuss the
moral and domestic aspects of the tenement house
system. At that meeting facts startling, the
suit of personal investigation in relation to the sub
ject were presented by gentlemen deeply interested
in it that it unanimously resolved that the clergy
of New York be invited to point out the special
dangers and evils Of the present tenement sys-
tenn to their congregations the fourth Sunday
of the current month. Accordingly in many of the
churches yesterday sermons, or, more properly
speaking, addresses were delivered the points of
which given below In every instance the attend
auce was large. and the interest manifested in the
subject very great. Statistics obtained by thorough
investigation Of the system were presented, and
Christians were besought to do something than
pray and bestow charity for the ameloraton of the
poor. Those who spoke. it will be seen, regarded the
present tenement system one of the greatest
of society.

The Japanese method of keeping
meat fresh in hot weather is Just now
attracting good deal of attention in
European circles. 1t consists in plac-
ing the raw flesh in porcelain vessels
and pouring on it boiling water,
whereby the albumen on the surface is
quickly coagulated and forms q pro-
lection against the further action of
the water. Oil Is then poured on the
surface of the water so as to prevent
the access of air and consequent pu-
trefaction of the meat. The system,
of protecting animal substances by
securing coagulations of their albu-
men and exclusion of air is no novelty:
and it can hardly be supposed that We
are indebted to the Japanese for its
original adoption. But undoubtedly
sheir method of applying it is far
preferable to that practiced by our
selves in the process of preserving
timed meats, which appears to consist
in boiling them for such a length of
time that almost all their flavor is de-
stroyed. and the ultimate result is q

The stable-boy told me q year or 50
ago that my horse had got to acting
very ugly when he drove him out of the
carriage. house = prancing, jumping,
backing, and cutting up generally On
taking the reins myself the next time he
was harnessed found that this was in

getting into the street without knocking
the carriage to pieces against the gate

quite circus exhibition before we be.

I took a night to mediate upon the
difficulty, for it seemed to me pretty
serious one. as l had known many
horses to fall into vicious habit of that
kind and never get out of it. The next
day when he was put to the carriage
carried out an apple and gave him, and
while he was enjoying it got into the
buggy and took up the lines, and he
walked out of the barn as quietly as q
kitten. For more than six months
afterward he never showed the slightest
return of his rebellious behavior, think
ing, no doubt, every time he was har-
messed, of that delicious apple, though
the luxury of bribery had not been once
repeated. But. few weeks ago, the
lad who takes care of him told me that
