THEIR FRIENDS AROUND THEM.

A Reception to Venerable DIR. Duryee
and His Wife.
1t is a pleasant sight to see a pastor who
has grown gray in the service surrounded
by a loving people, each one anxious to
show the respect which all feel for him.
Such a sight greeted my eyes as l entered
the parlor of the Lafayette Reformed
Church last night. The aged pastor, the
Rev. DIR. w. r. Duryee and his wife,
stood in the rear of the room ready to
shake hands and exchange q kind word
with the many friends who congratulated
them and wished them many years of
happiness.
DIR. Duryee's congregation were out in
force to greet him, as also were many of
the old residents of the city who worship
at other churches than his. There were
no decorations except in the way of flow
ers. The window stills in the parlor were
filled with potted plants and two large
jardinieres were standing in opposite cor
nerS.
At a signal the assemblage gathered in
the chapel, where they were called to
order by Mr.. T. p. Sherwood, who, in a
few words, presented a handsome library
chair to the pastor, who made a suitable
reply. A beautiful basket of cut flowers
was presented to Mrs. Duryee. After the
| presentations the guests were invited to
partake of a collation..
The committee in charge were:-Mrs.
John Van Horn, Mrs. Thorne P. Sher-
wood, Mrs. Bowker, Mrs. John Clark,
Mrs. William d. Edwards, Mrs. George
| Sherwood and Mrs. Stevens.
Among the guests were Colonel James

Rev. Paul ID. Van Cleef, of New York;
the Rev. DR.. Brett, Mr.. and Mrs. John A,
Bowker. Mr.. and Mrs. John Van Horn,

A Legend of the Potomac.

1fO'f 49,
There are three big rocks in the
Potomac just above Georgetown
called the Three Sisters, after three
mythical maidens who persisted there
in some romantic way centuries ago.
Strangely enough, they mark the sad
dest part of that beautiful stretch of
river, for it is at that point that boats
usually upset and swimmers usually
drown. But strangest of all is the
fact that OF the night before such a
death the people living on the shore
hear the Three Sisters softly moan
ing-a sound distinct from every other,
and heard save on such occa-
sions. Wednesday night, for example,
just as the Georgetown College clock
struck IL, the moaning sounds came
floating ashore from the Three Sisters,
and on Thursday noon a shell cap
sized as it passed them, and its owner
was drowned,

stable Hook, yesterday morning, now lies
at Lockwood's morgue. He was q privi-
legged inmate of Sailors Snug Harbor,
and for several years had carried ON a junk
business. Monday afternoon he, with
two inmates of the institution, rowed
across the Kills to Constable Hook.
He owed a bill to the Standard Oil Com
pany and about four o'clock called at the
office and enquired how much he owed.
After that he was seen in company with
a ship captain and had some beer, and
later on he was sitting in front of Booths
lumber yard. libby was a cripple from
the result of freezing his feet many. years
ago, and it is therefore thought that in
getting into his boat to go home he had
Stepped into the water and was drowned.
The governor of Snug Harbor came
across and identified the body which
now awaits the action of the County
Physician. libby was about sixty-iye
years old and leaves a widow and daugh-
ter. There was a suspicion that the old
man had been robbed and thrown into
the Kills, but al investigation by
Chief of Police Mcneil seems to indicate
that he was drowned accidentally.

tract at $500.
In the matter of a contract, awarded to
T. S. Farquer for building a sewer in East

wards discovered to be irregular, as it was
not sworn to nor accompanied by Sureties,
the bid was rejected and awarded to the
next lowest bidder.
The Committees on Health, Charities
and Correction reported that they had ex-
amined the city's dumping ground on
First street, Bergen Point, but were una
BILE to discover anything offensive. Coun-
Gilman Kelly was of the opinion that
there were some parts of the city in a
much worte condition.
East Twenty-third street was instanced
by Councilman Cronin as being consider
ably worse. He had spoken to two per-
sons who had been in the vicinity of the
dumping ground two days previous to the
inspection made by the committee, but
they found nothing to complain of.
President Goddard said that butchers

Augusta Journal The newspapers teem with detailed reports of the often marvellous but sadly misdirected genius which builds 8 steamboat out of discarded toothpicks, and places the same within 8 narrow-necked bottle; or an account of some one who has constructed tiny watch of fragile straw wisps which marks the flight of time with an incredible approach to accuracy. Such achievements of skill have by daily chronicling been made fa- miliar to all The latest instance of per- verted ingenuity, however, merits some thing more than 8 passing mention. It is the case of 8 Illinois man who had suc- ceeded in writing upon the exceedingly limited surface of one of Uncle Sam's post al cards message containing over $500 words. Four hundred and thirty-three words to the square inch is the high-water mark thus far attained by the patient pen- pusher, though he declares that he will soon break his own record. All his corre- spondence is conducted on an equally minute scale. It is well for him that he did not live in the time of that cynical old king who, after witnessing the skill and accuracy with which an accomplished sub- ject ejected peas from his mouth at a given mark, exclaimed with we'll -feigned delight i: "Bravol I will reward the fellow with g bushel of peas to spit"

THE contest in the National League for the pennant ended Saturday, with the New Yorks winning by close shave so close that de- feat or tied game on that day, with 8 victory on the same day for the Bostons, would have put the bean eaters at the head. But the New Yorks won and the Bostons lost Saturdays games. Public interest has been intense as to the result. It has been fair contest, with no jockeying, hence good people have felt interested. And the Bostons came so near victory that New York has little margin for exultation

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. New ter. sey county court refused to allow wit. ness to testify in an action for debt be- cause of his denial of punishment for per- jury by the Almighty. The witness said he believed in the existence of Supreme Being, and did not deny future state, but he believed the penalty prescribed by the state would be the only punishment he would receive in case he gave false testimony under oath. On an appeal from the decision of the lower court the supreme court of New Jersey has overruled the or. iginal decision. Judge Dixon, in deliver. ing the opinion, held that the right of the witness to testify was denied merely be- cause he did not believe that God would punish perjury, and that he was thus de- prived of civil right-that of testifying in his own behalf Awhile the constitution of the state provides that no person .shall be denied the enjoyment of any civil right merely on account of his religious princi- ples." It is said the case will be appealed to the United States supreme court, as it involves an underlying constitutional ques- tion which has never been decided. = Fr0,sE LeSEse's Newspaper.
