gambling Mt Napier's Hotel, soldiers resort
lust beyond the walls of Fort Hamilton, yes
terdsy. and Nelson walked half a mile TO get

FLOWER DIsGUsTED WITH POLITICS.
A Chicago special says that Roswell ?.
Flower has been besieged by reporters, who
wanted him 10 talk on the New York political
situation. Finally he got mad and said: Il
am disguised with politics. | am not IN poll
tics. and do not wish 10 discuss the political
situation in New York. and therefore do not
care TO talk on the subject intend TO de
vote little OF my time TO business, ana let
everything else alone"
CLEVELAND AND HILL.
II is very evident that unless the friends of
Grover Cleveland and of David b. Hill make
peace in this State the prospects OF Demo-
cratic success here this year or next will be
less favorable than they ought TO be. The
=. l. ~, ,rly
with a campaign tendency toward manslaugh-
ter in politics in this State. That the State
ticket will be Hill one from beginning TO
end is likely; that the victory, if gained, will
be q Hill one in Democracy as truly as a Dom
ocratic one in characterization Of necessity
follows. If in these circumstances. Cleveland
men should either sulk in their tents or give
the result to the Republicans who are not
without hope-the seed of Hill revolt and
q Hill revenge in this State next year would
be sown this year. The crop of reprisal in
1892 would not be an enviable one. Aside
from that. Republican success in New York
this year would remove the State from
Democratic" TO doubtful" for next year.
''CoNFEDs" WILL BE THERE.
One of the pleasing features of the Decor
alton day exercises will be the presence of
the Confederate Veteran Camp, who will at
tend as guests of the Z. 5. Grant
pany the Post on its boat, and join in the
ceremonies at General Grants tomb. Ex-
Congressman John $. Wise of Virginia, who
is q comrade Of the Veteran Camp. has been
honored by being selected by Grant Post as
the orator of the day.
Recent developments at the barge Office may
be the possible means of putting stop to Nor
mon immigration. Eleven of the sixty Nor
mons that arrivedlast Thursday on the steam
ship Wyoming were put under cross-examina-
ton by General O'Beirne and he secured from
some of them evidence on whichtthey can be
returned. Mary Haaselmann, a pretty TWEEN
ty-year-old Swedish girl said she knew what
the Mormons were. She said she did not
care how many wives her husband had.
STUDENTS RECEIVE CALLS.
The senior students of the General Theo-
logical Seminary of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. this city. have nearly all received
calls TO regular parish or mission work. The
growth of the missionary spirit is increasing.
Last summer four students of the class of 90
labored as missionaries in Wyoming, and this
year seven students go to Colorado. three to
Montana and one to Nebraska The gradu-
ates of the Seminary class of 'S5 have Just had
a handsome window, the subject of which is
st. Chrysostom, put in on the library stair
way. The dean, in accepting the gift for the
Seminary authorities made q suitable ac-
acknowledgement of the generosity OF the
donors.
COMBINATION oF JEWISH BUTCHERS.
The finishing touches have Just been put 10
new thing In trusts. 1t is nothing less than
a combination of 400 Jewish butchers who
have turned over their property and 500 to a
board of directors, who will consolidate the
present 400 shops into fifty. The dealers will
receive guarantee of from $15to $50 week in
proportion TO the trade that they individually
turned over TO the trust. The originators of
the scheme claim that their motive is to
duce their expenses with % corresponding re-
duction 10 their customers in the price of
meat. The consumers of meat on the East
Side fear that monopoly is intended, and
that the price Of meat will go up.
NEW YORK SOUTHERN SOCIETY.
The proposition of the New York Southern
Society of erecting a new clubhouse, which
was lnaugurated some weeks ago, has already
been the means of bringing in many new
nonresident members. The idea has become
very popular, and every evening groups of the
members may be heard discussing its posi-
bilities. Dozens of letters from nonresident
members and Southerners outside the society
have been received by the officers of the So
clety, proving beyond O doubt that the So
ciety would find widespread and enthusiastic
cooperation IN the event of its deciding TO 90
ahead with the big scheme.
