their best Sunday clothes and pay 81. rs each
towards the expenses Of the parade.
All hands will lose a days wages unless their
employers change their minds. Yet the bosses
want all the credit Of the show. Four hundred

Though my lot has been cast

A heart clothed in love.

Whose charms are peerless,

The hurricane which swept through the city
while its deniZens were asleep last night was the
main topic Of conversation among the people
coming downtown to business this morning.
Although the people OF the Signal Service in
the Equitable Building spoke slightingly Of the
storm. q great many citizens hGd stories to tell
of the damage and destruction II caused.
After the bAlmy weather Of the day the hurri-
cane was q complete surprise. The wind began
To blow early in the evening, and as the hours
passed it increased in velocity until il was travel
ling at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
Between IL o'clock and I A. N. when the
hurricane was at its highest, the streets in some
parts of town were filled with flying missiles.
Window blinds, shutters, sigma, ornaments
from house tops aud even bricks from chimneyB
helped to make things lively for pedestrians
who happened to be out at that time.
In the upper districts OF the city the wind
made great havocl Houses rocked and window
panes ratified in q very uncomfortable way, and
in some places sleepers were 80 alarmed that
they sat mp until after the storm had partially
passed.
This morning the wind was comparatively
easy, AT 4 o'clock II was blowing at tie rate Of
ten miles an hour. The hurricane had passed
of in a northerly direction and stood over Can
ada. High winds were also reported In Dakota.
Sergt. Dunn says there are no rains in sight
and the outlook ~ for clear and cool brAcinR

IT rs HOME RULE

The few opponents of the bill for the
temporary preservationIof the Polo Grounds
who are urging Gov. HILL to veto 1t claim
that the measure L. one subversive Of Home
Rule.
Now. home rule for this city consists in the
people of New York getting what they want.
In accents loud they have asked that the
Polo Grounds DO preserved for tho present
baseball season. and the Legislature has
needed the public voice, while the Aldermen
Were deaf.
The Cantor Bill will certainly give the New
York public what it want in tho Polo
Ground matter, and in this regard it is in
hne with the Home Rule principle.
