Ncw-York loses in Frederic de Peyster
one of its most scholarly and public-spirited
citizens. He was Knckerbocker of the
highest type, proud of his name, with genu-
inc interest in the chronicles and traditions OF
the metropolis, and practical instinct winch
enabled him to give an active and intelligent
support to many of its most useful societies
and institutions. His addresses on public as
well as historical questions were characterized
by research scholarship and independence of
thought.
Three deaths from drowning within twelve
hours at Coney island and Rockaway is a
warning which should be needed 10y summer
hotel managers us well as bathers. The beach
where two of these deaths occurred is danger
.ous one 1t is at one of the iron piers, where
q strong lateral current is always running.
When the tide is going out suspicion is DIS
armed and the bather is lured into trcacher-
Gus depths. The precautions taken to insure
the safety of bathers seem TO be inadequate at
this point and should be doubled.
The election of Captain Bodine as "cOach
of the American rifle team is the best choice
which could have been made. He has posi-
tive talent for making the men under him do
their best and for promoting that spirit of
fellowship and discipline which gives unity t.
the team. The great matches with British and
Irish rinemen have been generally won by the
Americans in this way. They have shown su-
peror organization and have worked together
,rbo of n ed m
chine. Good coaching" the American team
will certainly have.
Nothing seems TO be too prep0ster0us for
the foreign correspondents to telegraph

fishes a rumor that Russia is about TO occupy
the whole of Asia Minor TO the BosphOrus,

q formidable army of $4,000 men is cOncen-
trating in the Caucasus. Now it is far cry
from Kars to COnstantinople, and about half
n million men would be required for such a
canpaion Russia looks upon Erzerum az the
next objective point in Armenia. The troops
will halt there if marching orders are even

The Corporation Counsel rules that the
Aldermen cannot be Supervisors, either collec-

plenty of apparatus and strong hearts and

Mr.. Editor.-It is with pleasure that 7
send this letter TO you for it contains good
news for all of this place and everywhere
else, and it is this, the success, the great
success now attending the special meetings
ofthe Baptist church. And many believe
that two souls were truly converted from
the error Of their ways who had hitherto
been following the downward path TO ruin
the same being members of good families
of this town, there is much cause to rejoice
and be glad, and from the appearance the
other evening, certainly more must follow.
We cannot but think that the minister,
o. Buddington and his co-workers in the
great and glorious cause have certainly
received an unction from on High, for the
earnestness Of their pleading whilst at the
footstool In prayer, and the indisputable
and powerful discourse of the minister
was enough to melt the hard-hearted and
bring to sense of their guilt, and show
them how 1t would appear in the sight of
q Just God The other churches are also
doing much for the cause ofthe Redeemer
and from what can learn there seems to
be an overpowering of the good spirit
going abroad In this our town, for which
we cannot help but be thankful for.
4 The budness In the town seems to be
moving along pleasantly and / do not
know of one family that is depending
upon charity, 40 you see Mr.. Editor, as a
town and people we are blessed.
There is ALSO q rupor out about another
business enterprise commencing IN the

hearted farmers has given the ground for
