ed to cut street through the property
OF the institution which is most charm
ingly located. She has always managed
to stave them of however, since street
running through this property would ef-
feotively destroy the seclusion so neces-
sary for place where couple of hum
dred girls and young ladies are being
reared far from the eye of watchful
parent. How she managed to defeat
these designs is past telling save by the
force Of terse, vigorous argument Now
however, as understand, the old lady
means TO retire. believe that this in
stitution has acquired property elsewhere
where the danger of being molested is
not SO great. Thus this fashionable in
slitution of the Ladies of the Sacred
Heart, which is attended by Catholics
and Protestants as we'll is shortly to be
removed
The fashionable sporting season is at
hand. Last Saturday the Coaching Club,
! which is composed of the CREAME DE LA
| CREAME of eur "aristocracy," had its
| parade, and tomorrow the gay world
will assemble at Jerome Park, the Amer
lean Ascot, to attend the opening of the
| Spring meeting of the American Jockey
Club. 1t is the fashion to drive out TO
this beautiful race course. The nabobs
| 90 on top of four-in band coaches, while
every owner of vehicle from coach to
II spidery road wagon, feels in duty
bound to take his ladies out The array
of ladies' costumes on that day is always
gorgeous, and fashionable dressmakers
have for the past few weeks been driven
to their wits ends almost by the demands
made upon them to design something
new and striking. The interest of the
day will be somewhat reduced by the
fact that their will be no betting; but as
the law does not cover the making OF
private bets, or the wagering of gloves
and candy, ETC., the ladies will have
plenty OF sport even though their lords
and masters will feel very wroth that the
opportunities of "blowing their money
in" are denied them.
On the same day the yachting men
will celebrate the opening of the season
all the swell clubs have their opening
sails, which are to the future regattas
what the preliminary canter is to the
horse race. There will be any number
of new yachts out. and as most of them
are even now fit for racing there will be
plenty of sharp braebes, accompanied
by perhaps the breaking of some spars
and the destruction of some canvas.
The silly season of the dramatic world
has begun and about the piazza in Union
Square-the theatrical mart-you could
not throw a stone without striking hall
dozen actors or actresses fitting in
and out of agencies, here enquiring fol
an engagement, there borrowing dollar
or two and then again adjouriug over tc
the Morton House for 'freshener
Some of the members of the mimic world
will have hard times of 1t this summer
for while the stars and big combinations
as rule made money last winter, the
smaller ones did very poorly. and some
of the members had to actually wall
home, even leaving their wardrobes be

Lager Beer as Temperance Agent.

ESQ far from making thst which makes
drunkards," said MIR. Fred srick Lauer of
the beer.produoing town of Reading,
Pennsylvania, at the brewers national
Convention at Detroit few days ago,
'.brewers are in fact the real missionaries
oftemperanoe and benefactors of man
kind"
Beyond doubt, says the Y. Y. Sun,
he went a little too far. Brewers are
neither missionaries nor benefactors. but
simply manufacturers, who are trying TO
make ali thr money they can at legiti.
mate business. Thepublic does not ex-
peot them to carry on their breweries on
pbilanthrophic principles. 1t only asks
them to produce good honest beer, which,
as a matter of fact, they do not always
do, owing to their greed for profits.
Even il what some of them turn out is
not absolutely deleterious stuff, it is a
wishy.washy beverage, which is not
wholesome, like larger Of straightforward
manufacture.
sItis true, however, that if people drink
lager beer they are far less liable to get
drunk and discrderly than if they guz
zle spirits; and therefore the growth OF
the demand for the comparatively inno-
cent beverage has been of great advan-
tage to this copntry. just so far as it
has displaced distilled liquors, the pop.
ulAr drink Of old times, lager has un-
questionably tended to diminish drunk
enness. It may be that people are not
temperate in their use of the malt
beverage, but it takes very much more of
it than of whi5key, for instance, to make
them drunk; and it does not excite them
so injuriously.
That lager beer has actually driven
out spirits TO a vast extent was shown
by INTERNAL revenue statistics presented
at Detroit by the President of the Con-
vention. Between 1881 and 1882 the
number of dealers in beer increased very
considerably, while the number of deal
ers in distilled liquors in the Union fell
off by about two thousand. Despite
their increased use in the mechanical
arts. the consumption of distilled liquors
per head Of the population was less in
1882 than in 1868. 1t was between those
years that the enormous growth in the
manufacture of beer occurred, and the
demand for it, previously almost entire
ly confined to the Germans, spread
among the whole people. In 1868 only
ga. 2O5. 375 gallons of beer we've produced
while the quantity was 525. .5l4, 635 gal
Ions in 1882.
The President, therefore, was justified
in saying that beer drinking has led
away from whiskey drinking; and to
that extent it has acted as temperance
agent At least it has helped very ma
terially to bring about the decrease in
drunkenness which has been observable
OF late years. People may not drink less
than formerly, but they take the mild
stimulant more, and so are less liable to
get drunk.
We accordingly can agree with Mr..
Lauer far enough to say that the pros
perity of the brewers attests very de-
sirabls change in the drinking tastes and
habits of a large part of the community.

A TERRIBLE crush occurred on the new
Bseoklyn bridge last Wednesday after
noon, by which some 10 or IA lives were
lost aad about so injured. The bright
holiday had brought an Immense throng
upon the bridge, and the police regula-
tions, which have already been the sub
ject of criticism in the New York papers,
proved unequal to the emergency. Moth
ing tries policemans powers SO severe
ly as dealing with crush, and only Of
hcers of exceptional experience should
be detailed for such a service. The
bridge police, on the contrary are green
hands. mere amateurs in the business,
and they were worth no more in a crisis
than so manv private citizens. There is
but single footway in the centre of the
bridge and, though it Is apparently OF
ample width, no adequate provision is
made for separating two currents. The
result was, Wednesday, that when two
opposing crowds met the stronger car.
Fied the weaker before it and the rush,
having once begun, could not be STAYED
Pressed on by the weight Of those bshind
tbs crowd coming from Brooklyn bore
down those colning from Now York, aud
men. women and children were trampled
under foot, with the terrible results above
gissa.

WHAT GOVERNOR CURTIN THINKS

Ex Governor Curtin in a recent inter-
view was asked his opinion as to the
speakership of the National House of
Representatives, and replied;
81 am earnestly for Samuel j. Randall,
and the entire Democratic delegation from
Pennsylvania is for him heartily"
"What are Mr.. Randall's prospects?"
- al don't know what combination have
been or may be formed against him. There
may be some made, but it looks to me as il
be would be elected speaker"
as there likely TO be distinctive issue
on the question of protection, as opposed to
a tariff for revenue only, in the next cam
paignH"
Al do not think there can be a great issue
on rhe question of the tariff just now. The
bill passed by the last Congress is very de-
fective, and in many of its determinations
unjust. Efforts may be made to change or
apepd some Of these, and the more likely
as the interests Of Pennsylvania did not re-
ceive the protection they deserve. 1t would
be a subject Of serious regret to all citizens
who look to the prosperity of the country
and the employment and full pay of its
labor if contest over economic questions
should be magnified into controlling issue
between the great parties of the country in
1854. Relying upon the Judgment of the
inssses OF the people, repeat that do not
belieYe such an issue can be made nara
mount to all others in the coming elect ion. u
"What is the condition ofihe two partie;
in Pennsylvania"
$50 far as the Democratic party is con
eepned il is strong and advancing, The
responsibilities ofpower lately assumed hav,
not caused any disturbance. There are
principles and measures which will beeoin,
clearly defined in the contest this year, and
the issue between the two parties will bt
most important. 1t is not possible that th'
jealousies Of leading Democrats or differ
enees between individuals in the party car
be y factor Of serious consequence in tn,
contest"

Messrs. Strout, Gage and Strout fled bill
10 equity, Oct. 31st, and sarved it on G. P. Mst-
tocks Nov LIST. The bill is brought byJ.
Winslow Jones and F. d. Ellis, stockholders
of the Winslow Packing Company, against O..
P. Mattocks, president of that compaD. The
bill charges that G. P. Mattocks has nisappro-
priated seventy-fve or one hundred thousand
dollars OF the funds Of the company, besides
charging something over forty thousand dol
lars for services since Jan. LIST, 1882, and calls
for an order of court enjoining him from act
ing as president of the company, and also calls
for receiver to be appointed for the Winslow
Packing Company. The case is set down for
hearing in the court houss, Tuesday morning,
Nov. 9th.
Gen. Mattocks, when approached on the sub
iect, says that he has committed his interests
in the matter to the charge of capable counsel,
and has nothing to say now except to deny all
allegations that may be made affecting the in
tegrity and fidelity of his action as an officer of
the Winslow Packing Company. He will
meet the allegations when they come up in
court. with confidence in his ability to show
that they are antrne in fact, and are simply an
attempt on tle part of Mr.. Jones tc obtain con-
troll of business which had twice failed dis
astrously under his management, but which is
now very successful.
