CASTLE GARDEN
ABANDONED.

pOrary Abode.
Its Checkered Career as Dutch Fort, Beer
Garden, Fashionable Resort and Place
of Refuge.

@SASTLE GARDEN, which for well nigh
u ,Eg5z half century was the reception hail aud
n.y. temporary home of nine million strangers
- was on the 18th inst. abandoned as an
immigrant station. More commodous quarters
under the supervision OF the National Govern
ment Will be located on Bedloes Island, and
meanwhile temporary use Will be made of the
Barge Once, so the probabilities are that the
warlike embrasures of the old fort and the great
r0tunda, through which the babel of foreign
tongues have resounded for so many years. will
once again know that silence which fell upon It
after the thrilling notes OF the Swedish Night
ineale" had made its dingy old walls famous
throughout the world.
The site of Castle Garden was originally an
islet in the bay, about 800 yar0s from the main
land. When fort was erected there by the
Dutch 1t was connected with the shore by a
drawbrdge and the river waters served as a
mOat. During The war OF 1912 Fort Clinton was
reared by the Government on the site of the
crude old fortress; but the guns that frowned
from The Open front were never fired. When the
war closed Fort Clinton was dsmantled. In
1924, when Lafayette visited America, the In
terror was transformed into a ballroom, where
the guest of the nation was W ecomed.
In 1889 the gloomy-Ooking structure was trans
formed into beer-garden by Richard French and
IL became popular resort, particularly al night
The trees that hourished around the old fort
were hung with lanterns. The music, the cool
breeZes from The bay and the modest price of
beverages proved great attractions. Alter a few
years the more vulgar elements were eliminated
from the amusements, the conceri-hall resOunded
with the notes OF leading singers, and ouaked at
the thunder OF Julen's monster orchestra. Tie
pebs were routed; the garden became a
fashionable resort. The summit OF its pros
peiity was reached in 1850, when Jenny

PLEASURES OF THE POOR
A Witty French Writer'S Misdi-

FFfI WITTY French writer has thought

EKAV against the amusements OF the poor or
- to those q step or two above. 1t seems
to be the belief OF many writer's, and also OF
many who do not write, that everything that Is
pleasant everything that is amusing, together
with everything that is bright and beautiful be-
ings who are called the rich Ii a family who
by good management, can spend little on en-
toyment dress their daughters tastefully and

lie speaks Of the parties given by the bOur-
Reos oil Paris as "a collection OF old women and
young girls with ambitious but faded toilets -;
yet lie was evidently one Of the guests, OF whom

public mind upon this question aud to prepare
the way for the general adoption OF the move
ment
A consensus OF opinion was obtained from the
leading minds and the business men of the
country upon the ACCESSIBILITY and practicabIlity
OF enforcing the eight-hour work day by agree
ment with the employers. great majority of
the gentlemen responded, and extracts from
their replies were pu bllshed in the daily news
papers at the time.
The next step In the agitation was series OF
simultaneous mass-meetings throughout the
country. These were held on February %,
July and Labor Day, 1889
The convention OF the federation he Id in
Boston last December ratified the decision OF the
St Louis convention as 10 the plan OF action,
aud instructed and authorized the Executive
Council to select a trade 10 make tue demand on
May l, $780, for the enforcement of the eight
hour day. The last OF the series OF simultaneous
mass-meetngs, held on February 22d, prac-
been other meetings held since then,
and meetings Will continue TO be held
from now until May 1st; but these
are more preparatory than agltative. The next
step was the selection by the Executive Council,
in accordance with tile Instructions of the Boston
convention, OF trade TO make the demand, and
after some consultation the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and J0inefs OF America was chosen.
1t was also decided that as soon as The movement
10 that trade Tor the eighI-hour day was con-
cuded the United Miue-workers OF America
should be the second trade to make the demand,
and SO on, tai ing each trade in succession, until
the movement embraced the entire Industrial

PACIFIC COAST WRITERS
NUMBER FOUR.
Mrs. II. A. Demming, Florence
Byrne and Herbert BashfOrd.

~ ,MONG the well-known Pacific Coast
HSstg, writer's there is Mrs. II. A. Deming, who
ESRs has a very pleasing personality, and is
~ quiet, modest and lady-hke. She is shy
in literary way and, while having culed some
nosegays of song about the meadows OF poesy,
has made no attempts at climbing its rugged
mountains or picturesque cliffs She was born
in New Hampshire, aud after the usual school
going attended a female seminary In Worcester,
Mass She came 10 California In 1864 and has
resided In San Francisco ever since. She likes
California better, she frankly says than some OF
its people, Which would be but natural 10 view
OF her New England origin, and the En-
glish blood aud breeding back OF that.
Those who meet her for the first time see a
pleasant, agreeable, matrouly, rather matter Of
fact appearing lady, with none OF lie popular at
tributes of the "blue stocking" about her. She
speaks Of New England with all The fOndness
aud reyerence with which the early cOlOnists re-
ferred TO the mother country" and Rdores its
literature and people alike. Among her favorite
authors are Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel
Hawthorne ana Henry D. Thoreau, who TO her
seem TO represent the soul Of New England bet
ter than any other authors. She developed
taste Tor literature amounting 10 passion for
poetry, al a very early age, and when child it

Florence Byrne Is one OF the most earnest and
enthusiastic devOtees Of metrical composition
that we have on the Pacific Coast, and she has a
qualification which few other writer's possess,
that Of taking Infinite pains and observing the
strlctest rules OF form aud at the same time pro-
ducing an effect OF careless abandon. She says
that she owes much 0 I her success to the guidance
OF private tutor, who was a sort OF modern
Roger Ascham and gentleman OF very marked
literary tasle, whose discriminating delicacy,
particularly In poetry, OF the greatest bcnent
to her. ana who, in common with her father
smoolhed man, many a rough place for her
In her literary outreachinps. Miss Byrne
has never been very strong, consequently has
never been able to taEe a University course, but
she has had The best OF teaching at home. Her
talent runs particularly TO old French forms,
and, she SAYS. her love o: loves Is the sonnet,
ana her delight In that form never wearles. She
has written everything from the simple triOlet to
the sestlna and chant royal. She says that the
French forms appeal 10 her from their very
difficulty and novelty. Her first rondeau was
published In the Californian In SS2 aud her first
sestina In the Overland Of November, 1883. Her
last aDd best sestina appeared In Harpers'
Monthly 10 MAY, 1884. ard was copied into
iSsued by Appleton & Co., 1887.
Miss Byrne was born in Gaieua, H., In 1868,
ana has resided for many years IN Grass Valley.

While Mrs Demng's work has been entirely
desultory, written as the mood seized her, aud
generally sent TO local papers, aud she has never
really entered upon either journalistic career
or what might be called literary life, her Views
upon the former may be Interesting. "Good
professional journalism" she SAID In a recent
letter, under favorable circumstances is un-

Mrs. Deming Is such home body that she es.
says The flight of the swallow rather than that Of
the lark or the eagle, hence almost all her verse
speaks OF the home virtues, The attractions OF the
garden, the strawberries OF the field, the flowers
OF the plain, etc. Her extensive reading and her
facility ia bringing the thoughts OF many men OF
many moods 10 the expression OF some subject In
her own mind Is well illustrated In three of her
compilations, or, rather, mosaic poems, emitted,
respectively, "Lhe," Man" and 'WOrldly

might say almost universally, In America and
England These consisted of a Toem made up
by taking one line only from number of British
and American poets and telling a consecutive
story, while keeping The rhyme, with one or Two
exceptions, almost perfect.
Mrs. Deming is the wife OF a well-known busl-

young woman just coming TO maturity who in
herlts her mothers literary taste, and has already
written number OF credItabIe short stories,
