The criticism has been made OF Amerl-

real reviews of great subjects and too
many mere brief statements OF problems
and projects. This criticism Is hardly
warranted 10 the case OF Inc FoTuIn LOT
July. Besides the explanation BY Cell

trainers, for the benefit OF the strong
roads and to the detriment OF the weak

snlIIvan Fnll of Scrap.

Before he lett for Australia John l.
Sullivan gave his opinion of Jim Corbett
as a fighter. Sullivan had been told that
he was held by the public as responsible
for the wretched fiasco of that four-round
sparring match between himself and Cor
bett. This angered Sullivan and he
said:-
"The public was disappointed because
I took nny cue from Corbett. This spar
ring bout was in his own town. and |
allowed him to cut out the pace. He did
not want any genuine scrap, so that
settled 1t. You may tell him that IL he
ever puts on the gloves with me again he
will be knocked out. Why, he can't fight
a little bit. l could knock him out easy
in four rounds"
LONDON. June 28, 1s9L--Slavin. who
has arrived at Queenstown, says that he
will do his utmost to bring about a fight
between himself and Sullivan for any
amount aud anywhere. He will then
retire from the ring satisfied. Possibly.

A CHILD FATALLY BURNED.

Fire In the Hoboken Tenement Known
as 'sThe Barracks"
At a fire in a Hoboken tenement this
morning a seven months old child was
probably fatally burned. The fire was in
the tenement house at No. 156 Ferry
street.
The houses are occupied only by the
poorest of families. They are known as
"The Barracks"
This morning Mrs. Kelly. one of the
tenants, was rendering some fat on a
stove when the fat overlooked and in
stantly there was a blaze. Mrs. Kelty's
seven months old child, Nellie. was play
ing on the floor when the smoke and
flames drove the mother into the street.
An alarm vas given; the iremen re-
sponded promptly; n n OF them ran
In and brought the child out. The little
ones body was 80 badly burned that its
death must occur within a few hours
The flames did not do much damage to
the building, and it is thought that $500
will cover the loss by fire and water.

A United Democracy.

The conspiracy for the disruption
Of the Democratic party in New Jer-
sey. OF which the New York Times
and the Central Ne1c Jersey Herald
are the organs has been industrio usiy
circulating rumors to the effect that
Governor Albeit is on bad terms
with the other State leaders of the
party. One notable lie was that he
was at open war with James Smith,
Jr., of Newark. Other efforts OF the
journalistic imagination embroiled
him with Supreme Court Clerk Lee,
with Secretary of State Kelsey, with
ex-Congressman Pidcock, and other
prominent and influential leaders oil
the Democracy.
It is almost unnecessary to contra
dict these stories; there was a yarie-
gated richness of mendacity about
them which carried conviction o ftheir
untruth to even the least perspicuous
readers. Nevertheless, contradictions
both verbal and of fact. are not want
ing. The Trenton letter published in
our Sunday edition, yesterday, was in
itself sufficient to overturn the whole
fabric OF lies. since it pulled the
very cornerstone from under it.
Here we had IN account OF
how James Smith, Jr., with whom
the Governor is supposed to be at
war, dropped into the Governors
Office in New York for a private con-
versation. The Governor casually
asked his advice regarding a successor
for Colonel Harvey. Mr.. Smith men
toned the name of George s. Duryee,
and the Governor on the spot deter
mined to appoint him, Mr. Smith sub
sequently becoming Mr.. Duryee's
bondsman. Does this look very like
war between the big chiefs of Hudson
and Essex
But, in addition, Allan L. McDer-
mott furnishes a formal authoritative
denial of all the stories in all their
details. He takes them one by one.
The Governor is good friends with
James Smith. Jr. He is good friends
with x-Congressman Pidcock and
with Miles Ross. He explodes the lie
about any dicker or trade based on
the next nomination for Governor.
He winds up with this bold declara-
tion:-
1.-The Democratic party has no APP
pologies to make. 1t stands on its
record and approves of the admins
tration given to the people of the
State by its leader, Governor Abb
bett.n
This sums the situation up in a nut
shell. So far as the real leaders and
the great mass Of the Democratic
voters are concerned, there is no dis
union, no difference even. The party
is a unit on policy and in its
allegiance to its leaders. There
are one or two third rate
Office grabbers like Mr.. Ex-Prosecutor
Wilson, of Union county, who, being
drummed out of the party for treach-
cry are trying to injure it all they
SAN The ISLANDERS all emanate from
them. Their malicious purpose is
evident, and it is only necessary to
anmask the scoundrels to defeat their
end.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Princess Alexandra before he was
twenty-five. The Emperor of Austria
took to wife the radiant Elizabeth OF
Bavaria when he was not twenty-four.
The present Gar of Russia was twen-
ty-one when he gave his hand to Dag
mar Of Denmark, who was two years
his junior. King Humbert of Italy
was twenty-four at the time OF
his marriage to the fair Marguerite
of Savoy, then a girl of seven
teen. The present King and Queen
of the Belgians were the one eighteen
and the latter seventeen at the time of
their wedding and the late King OF
Spain, Alphonso XII, was very little
older when he formed his brief, bright
union with his charming cousin Mer-
cedes. He was only twenty-five when
he married his second wife, the pres
ent Queen Regent. And it vas at the
same 9 that the presen Emperor of
Germany was united to Augusta Vic
toria, of Schleswig- III olstein-Augusten-
burg. The unfortunate Prince Ru-
dolph, OF Austria. was twenty-three

what to ID o and what Not to Do.
The following, from answer given
to correspondents in Harper's Bazaar,
cover just such points as many people
are interested in
While the use of ''for" or s'ton be-
fore the name addressed upon an en-
velope is not distinctly bad form, !"
!. IS certainly unnecessary, and lessons
the elegant appearance OF a more sim
pie form of address. 1t is certainly
not nice form to offer the left hand to
an acquaintance while the right is of
possible use.
The receipt of a card from your
summer acquaintance leaves you pre-
cisely as If she had given you the card
in exchange for yours last summer.
If you desireto continue the acquaint-
ance, and are the younger woman, call
upon her; if not, wait for her to call
upon you.
Ofall thing be simple, quiet and
natural in your manner; cultivate a
softened voice and do not gesticulate;
speak good English before you at
tempt French; the latter is an accom-
plishment, the former a necessity.
An afternoon tea is the most infor-
NAL of entertainments. You may
serve your Tea III Il Specldi room OF all
about, rs you find most convenient.
Serve small napkins with the tea.
A young girl is not supposed to do
any entertaining in her own name I'M
less possibly an informal affair where
only other young girls are invited.
Never ask a man twice to call upon
you. II he does not accept your first
invitation. take it for granted that he
does not care to do so.
1t is better form to ask for a card
for your guest, although you may
take her to a tea without that formal
ity.
On a reception day or at a tea you
should leave your cards in the card
tray in the hall on your departure.
A lady should rise TO greet a gentle
man or bid him farewell in her own
house.
The proposal to correspond should
come from the gentleman.
No call is necessary in acknowledge
ment of an AFTERNOON tea.
A card left or sent to a tea dis
charges the obligation.
