EQUIPPED FOR WAR.
We lave now Salvation Navy as well
az Salvation Army; and If the commits
sary department is only well managed,
we may look for vigorous campaign
during the coming season. The Com
mander of the Navy is Admiral Tug a
disciple as well rs q name.sake of Tug
Wilson. He proposes to knock Satan
out in three rounds provided some heart
less Brooklyn house-inaid does not wash
the Navy out with the garden-hose. The
Flag ship is the "Alleluja;" and from her
gun deck will be card many stirring
battle 'ymn to haffright the souls and
pnralyze the ears of the unregenerate
who ave not yet learned 'ow to brave the
Wicked One and to asperate the Hatch
es. Ere is sample verse of one of the
'ymns:
With 'earts one cast in hevenings 8 mould,
Hand join hour Christian navy bold
On board the "'Alleluiah %
We're bound 10 hempty hearth hof sin.
Hold Satan 'imself will suon cave in,
Come 'elB the lands that sure TO win

DEAR MEAL.
The hotel and restaurant keepers at
Sheep"heads Bay, one of our nearby
summer resorts, are not remarkable for
liberality. In fact they are somewhat
grasping. They charge heavy prices for
very ordinary food and, place certain re
strictions upon their guests that render
it difficult to make two dollar bill 90
much further at Sleeps head Bay than
fifty cent piece at Hoboken or any olher
seaport town within gunshot distance of
New York. A few days ago, one of these
sharks gave new exhibition of profes.
sional meanuess. A half-starved waiter
served, to order, dish of liver and ba.
con, worth six cents but charged on the
bill of fare at so cents. The customer
did not make his appearance, the dish
became cold and the hungry waiter forti.
fled himself with it. He told the head
waiter what he had done aud the proprie-
tor of the place was summoned. He was
S3l III debt to the waiter, and here was
chance to pay the debt without the ex.
penditure of cent. "Give me a receipt
for your arrears of wngs" said he "and
l will say nothing about the theft" The
hungry waiter Cffvred to pay the schedule
price for the liver and bacon, but his Of
fer was declined. He was arrested and
the sapient Judge, who is himself a res
taurant keeper Of the Sheeps-hrad Bay.
Brand, sent the poor fellow to Jail for 30
days. Two days ago he was released on
writ of haheas corpus.
FRENoHs HOTEL.
This reminds me that French's Hotel,
the first established hotel on the Euro
pean plan established in this country
(outside of New Orleans) is still closed.
The furniture and pictures are now be.
ing sold at very low prices, The beauti.
ful mirror that has for 81 years adorned
the wall of the Office has been knocked
down for one thirtieth of what it cost.
Up to few years ago it was the largest
looking glass ever imported into the Un.
tied States and one of the largest in the
world. Col. French paid $4,000 for it
It is more than probably that French,
Hotel will never be opened again. The
good old Colonel's sons should have re-
membered the ancient saying If birds
in their little nests don't agree, they are
apt to fall ont The application of thil
precept would have been worth 5000, OO(
to them.
ADJUSTMENTS.
There was al excellent turn out at th,
Fifth Avenue Theatre, Monday night
notwithstanding The miserable weather
The attraction was Mime Theo, a univer
sal favorite in Paris among those who de
light in Opera-Bouffes. This was tn,
young actress's first appearance in thii
country. She made her debut in Often
bach's Madame rOrchiduc," brigh
and entertaining work, both as to music
and dialogue. As she had played it NOR
than 200 times at the Bouffes Parisiens
she was perfectly at ease before les
critical Audience, and gave unbounde,
delight. She is prettier than any of he
predecessors here in the same line O
dramatic work, but is not so well equippe,
in the matter of voice as either Aimee O
Marie. Her Marietta however was YER
good.-Clara Morris, on the same nigh
opened short engagement at the Gran,
Opera House with Miss Moulton" be
most powerful impersonation. She wa
warmly welcomed back to the scene @
her many trlumphs. s.-"Jane Eyre is o.
the boar Is at the Park Theatre, wit
Maggie Mitchell in the title role" Mon
day night was a poor night for theatr
goers but Maggie was we'll received b
quite a fair audience =.
