nection with Bridget Qulnn's story of an
attempt to outrage her by gang Of Col

time the affair occurred.
The girl corroborated RFanss story that
while ne saw the gang dragging her

ADVICE TO STUMP SPEAKERS.


Few Rules To Remember IN Ofoer 70
Retain the Voice.
Speaking out of doors is generally re-
earded as injurious to the health and de-
structive to the vocal organs. but. except
in the case of speaking against strong,
cold winds, or in damp. misty weather,
have not so found it. My health has
generally improved during campaigns,
and my voice has grown stronger and
richer with daily use.
A few rules may be laid down in small
space which, If carefully followed, will
be of great use to the open air speaker
Never drink cold water while speaking,
no matter how thirsty you may oe. The
sudden shock to the overheated and deli
cate organs of the throat produces con-
gesIion and Injuries the voice.
When suffering from hoarseness, re-
frain from speaking altogether.
When not speaking. keep up daily
breathing and vocal exercise.
Pitch your voice below rather than
above its natural key.
Let your articulation be perfect, every
letter sounded, and every sound formed
with force and precision
Speak less rapidly than you would do
indoors. and keep the lungs constantly
inflated.
Remember that the orator is like gun
barrel, which must be straight, must
have a bore as large as the bullet, and
must have the powder below the ball.
Project the sound waves in the proper di-
rection, Just as you would aim bullet al
the mark
The observance of these rules will,
believe, enable any vigorous man, with
ordinary vocal powers, to speak daily to
large audiences, in the open air. withou:
injury to his health or his voice.-Efonl

A STATION HOUSE KICK.
Bergen Square Presidents lndig-
nant at the Police Boards
Action.

The residents and property owners on
Bergen Square and In its vicinity are all
up IN arms over the report that the Police
Commissioners have leased the old par
sonage on the Square for the new Seventh
precinct station house. As this part OF
the city has always been peculiarly de-
voted to private residences those who
occupy houses thereabouts think that the
presence OF police station on the Square
viii be very disagreeaple and will tend 10
depreciate the value OF property. Al
though they admit that more policemen
they say that the station house
should be on one Of the business streets
in the precinct, such as Montgomery
street. The bringing Of Intoxicated
men and women TO the station at all hours
of the day and night, followed ofteutsmes
by crowd Of roughs and loafers is not
conducive TO the quiet and comfort Of the
neighbors. The profanity and curses Of
some OF the prisoners are not the things
for respectable women and children to
hear, as they Will be obliged to hear In
summer when the cells have to
be ventilated TO give the prisoners
air. / called upon Mr.. Edward Butler,
of No. 2s5 Bergen avenue who has
resided in this neighborhood at various
times for the past Twenty-Five years. His
house is diagonally across from the par
sonage. He was very much dispieased
with the idea OF having the station on
the Square and said:-
IL consider it decided detriment to the
neighborhood. and think it should De on
one Of the business streets"
Mrs. Butler was also ayerse to the pro-
posed use OF the old house.
Ex-P0lice Commissioner Roberts, who
lives next 10 the old house, Is also against
locating the station-house on the Square.
Mr.. A. 4. Speer. the undertaken, who
has lived at No. COZ Bergen avenue for
many years and has lived near the Square
for the past sixty years. said:-
II don't like II at all. think it will
reduce the yalse OF property here and will
be bad for the place"
Mr.. Wilson, who has large house on
the corner next the parsonage. is also op-
pose ed to the scheme. The old house
W hich they proposed 10 make into a po-
lice station was built about forty years
ag o for Dominic Taylor. Since that time
IL has had various tenants, the last being

tands in the centre Of plot Of ground
a bout 120 feet square at Academy street
q nd Bergen avenue. 1t is now painted
light olive color and faces Bergen square.
There is a sign "For Sale" on the house,
and some Of the residents might club to-
gether and purchase It. thus preventing
the use of it for station house.

THE NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
What the Farmers Alliance Demands in
Its Platform.

There are a number of farmers organi-
cations throughout the country. most of
them having substantially the same OBJ
jects. The National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, formed by the con-
solidation of the National Farmers Al
lance and Cooperative Union. and the
Agricultural Wheel. Is the largest of all.
Its principal membership is in the South
ern and Southwestern States The Nation
al Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry
IS the old Grange" which still has 10000
affiliated societies The Patrons of In
dustry are strongest in Michigan. The
National Farmers League is avowedly
politicql, and is strongest At present IN
the Eastern States. The Northwestern
Alliance has It's headquarters in South
Dakota, and is strongest there and in the
Immediately neighboriug States The
Farmers Mutual Benefit Association is
the title Of the Illinois organization.
The tendency now is toward consolida-
tiors-co-operation having been already
secured: and IL would not be surprising
if at the coming meeting of the Alliance
at Ocala, Florida, on December 2, several
more Of the minor organizations should
formally Join II.
These bodies all differ more or less in
details, but on certain measures they are
as one. From the Congress of the United
States they demand-and their demands
are likely to be voiced by one or other OF
the mea whose portraits are given here
with
/. The abolition Of national banks and
the calling in of their notes.
2. The issue of legal tender United
States Treasury notes sin sufficient vol
ume to do the business OF the country on
a cash system
3. The free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
4 The prohibition Of the alien owner
ship of land, aud the reclamation of all
lands heretofore ceded to railways not
now actually used by them.
5. The prohibition OF speculation in ag-
riculTural products, and Of dealing in
futures.

enues to the actual expenses of the Gov

LITTLE JOB.
The contract under which Henry BYrne
made pretense of cleaning the streets
last year. expired on December l, and
there Is none now either for that purpose
or for the removal of the garbage or
ashes The garbage and ashes have to
be removed, aud so there is a fat job for
ut to charge for it. Then, 1t has been
observed that the business Of street
cleaning is hundred times more active
when 1t Is days work and piece work in
stead of contract work; and there is
another chance for some one TO get in his
fine work The Street and Water Board
has directed Henry Byrne 20 act as It's ad-
interim street cleaner and ash and gar
bage man.
Ia some years heretofore gone by more
than half of whole years Appropriation
has been spent In the one or two months
afor which the Street Cleaning contract
was purposely allowed to hang fire; and
y. contractor tells me that he received
y ne year as much for doing nine months
r,.york on the streets as ne had contracted
10 do the whole years work for.
Six bids for the Street Cleaning con-
tract were submitted at a recent meeting
of the Street Board. The specifications,
which called for the cleaning of $50 miles
of streets last year, call for the cleaning
OF 500 miles this year. though the INSULT.
cient approximation last year was repeated
this year The bids are for so much per
mile for cleaning, and fixed sums for the
removal of ashes and another for the re-
movai Of garbage. The bids were as fol-
