BUYING CHEAP BRIDGE TICKETS. .
The reduction in tolls on tho Brooklyn Bridge,
which went into effect at midnight on saturday,
did not have as much effect Oh travel YESTERDAY as
was expected. The stormy weather undoubtedly
had its effect tae travel superintendent H. IL.
Van Keuren said that he gave to the ticket sellers
90 600 tickets for pedestrians. or these about
10000 were sold. This docs not represent the
amount of PEDESTRIAN travel, for many packages OF
invent y-hve for i've cents were purchased by per-
sons who will not begin to use them until today;
The exact number used cannot be determined umtil
to-day. when the receip pts are counted. MT. van

over the Bridge Yesterday. This was not large
increase over previous sundays. The tue test al

Martin Van Buren, lies in the village
cemetery Of Undertook, n. Y, in a
family lot, his resting place marked by a
modest granite shalt. He died in the
the summer of 1868. when the civil war
was at it's height. His successor, Harri-
son, was buried at his old home at North
Bend, on the Ohio, few miles below Gin
cinnati. An unfenced mound, over
family vault, formerly neglected, but
more recently carefully kept, marks the
spot.
The dust of Zachary Taylor is now
buried in the cemetery at Frankfort, KY,
after several removals. Willard Fill

three miles from Buffalo, n. Y, and that

rails to the dead Presidents is that over
the resting place Of Lincoln, in the Oak

SWEDISH MOVEMENT CURE.
A Curious Place Where Children Slap
and Rub Those Who Enter There.
from TIE Phflade@pAia Neaos.

IRON the Ph{L1deSDAtG NeaCs.
NEW YORK. July 25.--The massage es-
Enlistment of Mrs. A. T. Kelly is a curl
Gus concern in this city. The Swedish
movement cure, which consists of passive
exercise by having the limbs vigorously
extended and contracted, is there admin
istered, along with the slapplngs and
rubbings which are commonly applied by
stalwart attendants IN Turkish baths.
The novelty here Is that women and girls
are the operators. Several Investigations
were made by persons who suspected
that the place was a resort of wee, but
they made no discoveries to sustain such
charge, however decidedly they might
condOne the business there conducted.
A large apartment is divided by cur
tains only into small sections, in esCh of
which stands u high pallet. The visitor is
received In the parlor of Mrs. Kelly. who
tells him that the fee is 81, and she talks a
little about the curative value of the treat
ment in cases of rheumatism, neuralgia
and exhaustion. Two or three operatives
are called in. These are girls. and one Of
them-intrOduced by Mrs Kelly as her
daughter Annie-is apparently no more
than IL years old. The youthfulness of
some of them Is excused by Mrs. Kelly,
TO quote her own words in one instance,
on the ground that ''Oid men with little
vitality find that they are strengthened by
the manipulation of healthy children"
He makes his choice and is shown into
one Of the curteined rooms, where he is
told TO entirely disrobe. He rings hand
bell when ready and the girl comes ia.
She Is clothed, and she deals with the sub
ject quite complacently. Indeed, any un-
conventional demonstration would be
heard by the occupants of the other COM
partments. His arms and legs are fleXed
and pulled, one after another, every finger
and toe being separately exercised in
accordance with the Swedish scientific
formula. Then he is industriOusly slap
ped and rubbed all over his nude body.
Finally, his head is bathed with perfumed
cold water, and he is left TO smoke Gig
arctic in siesta or dress at his leisure.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children found nothing Illegal in this
business, because no vice seemed to be
associated with il.
The astonishing point in this matter is
that Mrs. Kelly has opened a branch es-
tablishment at Long Branch and similar
ones are in operation for the summer at
Newport and Saratoga. In each instance
the premises are in fashionable part of
town, and the customers seem 10 be
largely men Of wealth and leisure.

BEECHER AND DANA.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Henry Ward

talistory blow at Charles A. Dana.
Throughout the active life Of the Beecher

himself of on q long summer vacation.

undertook the job which Comstock
avoided. Young Beecher had been an

of placing matters before the grand jury

tuined only news matter, and that he

The Junior beecher thereupOu presented
the case TO the grand jurors on his own
account, but an indictment was not found.

NEW YORK, July 25.-The blackballing
of Bradley Martin by the Bachelors Club,
OF London, has excited New York anglo
maniacs very much. Two other Ameri-
cans, Winthrop and Sands. got the same
treatment simultaneously, but the case Of
Bradley Martin IS more astonishing than
theirs, because he is a locally famous ex-
ponent Of all that is initiative of English
manners in this city. He is wealthy, his
house is among the finest in Fifth avenue,
and mis- ultra fashionable wife Is a giyer
OF elaborate entertainments, in which the
AstOr set are always conspicuous.
Late last winter Bradley Martin ball
eclipsed in gOrgeousness all the previous
social events of the season, and every
titled Englishman in town was guest,
together with all the other Britons Of
aristocratc connection within call. At
least three of these are members of the
Bachelors club. The blackballing may
be regarded as an awful blow to interna-

Ox-HORN CHAIRS.
The Curious Articles and How They
are Made
Fron the So Franclgo0 CAronieLs.


From the san FrGncisoo Chronicle.
"You have no idea what a demand there
is FOR this style of chairs" said we'll
known furniture dealer to reporter. as
he proudly pointed TO a beautiful speci.
men made entirely Of horns and exqui-
sitely finished with silk plush and fringe
''No, it is not exactly new idea,' con-
unued the furniture man, "fOr my firm
has been turning them out for nearly a
year. This style of horn chairs, finished
with silk and plush, easily sell for 500,
while those finished with leather, bring
So"
How are they manufacturedY'
"Well, you see, there are twenty-five
horns used in this seat which we are eX-
amining. Of course a smaller number Of
horns can he used in some styles only
eighteen are required, but these do not
have IA neat an appearance and are much
cheaper. The mode Of manufacture is
quite simple. The horns, after being thor
Oughly cleansed, steamed and scraped
10 "a proper thickness, are filed or stuffed
with sawdust and glue. After being thor
oughly dried and polished the horns are
fastened into the proper position with
brass rivets and glue. Then follows the
upholstering operation, which is very
simple, but, upon the whole, the chairs
thus made may be considered very ar.
tistic"
And the demands there much call
for this style OF furnitureY'
eyes, indeed. There are many chairs
now in use in several OF the Mob hill resi-
dences. We have shipped them to France,
the Pacific islands, and many 10 the
Eastern and Northern States. Orders
are constantly coming in, and may safely
say the demand is increasing"
