The newest record-brcaking is in the time of
carrying The mails from Japan to England across
the Pacific Ocean, the American Continent and
the Atlantic If the mails are transferred TO the
City of New-York in time this morning, the

The new regulations which went into effect
at the Navy Yard yesterday will give salts
faction to all rght-thinking men. Secretary
Tracy's intention of placing the navy yards on
a genuine Civil-Service reform basis is highly
commendable. Under the new rules skill and
efficiency alone are to regulate the employment
of men; no one is to be discharg ed for political
reasons; no political assessments are TO be
levied and persons discharged from the army
and navy arc 10 receive preference when ap-
pointmen;s are made These arc all sound prin-
ciples. and the adoption of them will have an
undoubted tendency 10 improve the service
1t is not of en- that members Of the police
forcs are censurable for too much self restraint.
In the case of Officer Sherman, who was killed
Yesterday by drunken negro, it seems clear
that the result might have been different if the
policeman had displayed more decision and
force at th. outset The negro was simply a
brute in human form and deserved to be treated
with no consideration. sherman did not realize
what tough customer he had encountered, for
neither hi. club nor his pistol was drawn. The
case is an uncommonly sad one, and much sym
pathy viii be felt for the family of the MUIR
dered policeman.
The name of Andrew d. White is so often
mentioned these days that our readers cannot
fail to be deeply interested in the account given
on the fourth page Of this issue OF his great
work in connection with Cornell University.
Mr.. White has done many useful things in the
course of an unusually active life, but his en-
erey has been most conspicuously devoted to
the building up of the institution which his
friend, Ezra Cornell, founded at Ithaca, and
With which he himself was closely identified
for nearly twenty years. As president of Cor
nell University Mr. White displayed extraor-
binary executive abilities. He had previously

In making an address of welcome to the
linor-deaers Mayor Grant was not altogether
\ free agent. What he said must be looked
upon, not necessarily as his personal views, but
as the official expression of Tammany Halls
sentiments toward the saloons. The main feat
uyo Of the Mayors little address was the dec
laration in favor of opening liquor-shops during
&" certain hours" on Sunday. The question Of
Sunday opening will inevitably be pressed upon
the next Legislature, and the liquor-men will
of course call upon the Tammany representatives
to redeem this pledge. The importance of max
ing the Legislature soundy Republican in both
branches is apparent.

III is disquieting to find a church in Brooklyn.
which was built only a year ago, in an unsafe
condition from the bullying of the walls. The
trouble is attributed to wrong adjustment Of the
roof which is pronounced too heavy for the walls
on which it rests. In defence of the builder it
is said that this was the first church he ever
constructed. Such an excuse cannot be accepted.
The plans, it is to be presumed, were submitted
to and approved by the Department Of Buildings.
How was it, then, that the proportions of roof
to wall were not perceived and the plans mod
flied accordingly? Or is the approval Of the
Department of Buildings mere matter of form
Is it nobodys business to prevent inexperienced
and incompetent builders from putting up struc-
lures, especially churches, which are liable to
tumble down and hurt good many people?
And why did not the inspector who should have
kept an eye this building let the Department
know that it not all right? Evidently

The managers of that excellent institution. the
Brooklyn Library, have just introduced an i'm
provement which cannot fail to meet with the
cordial approval of its patrons. A reading
library as it may be called, has been established
in connection with the reading-room. On shelves
at one end of the room some $500 volumes have
been placed for consultation reading on the spot
only. But the reader has the privilege Of pick
ing and choosing for himself and to many book
lovers this will prove great satisfaction. The
books for this branch of the library's work have
been well chosen, with the intention of suiting all
tastes and needs. 1t is safe TO predict that this
feature will speedily become popular.

There has just been issued from the press

logue of trotting bred horses. raised at
Huntley q Clark's stock farm near Toston.
A few years ago this firm sold to Colorado
people fifteen t~rotting bred colts, and every
one of them, without exception. has turned
out frst-class. Several weeks ago Mr..
Huntley received a letter from a Denver
friend, who had kept track of the colts,
telling him how they were appreciated in
Colorado, and urging him to como down
this year during race week. This MIR.
Huntley determined to do, and he will
ship eleven colts. to be sold at Denver Oc-
tober Z at public auction. This is Huntley
u Clark's first public sale, but the intention
is to have than annually hereafter.

to place their youngsters whore they will be
trained and handled, and to scatter them

first public sale will be held at Denver.
With the good record made by the colts al

ON TRIAL FOR FORGERY,
A Bungling Attempt to Initiate the
Handwriting Of Col. C A,
Broadwater.
Gore Claims That He Received
tho Bogus Check In Good
Faith.
the Employ of this Boston and
Montana.

Miss Ella Knowles. the only lady attor-
ney in Montana, IL defending a young man
named j. +. Il. Gore in the diatrict court,
on a charge of forgery. Col. Nolan closed
the prosecution yesterday. and the defense
rested. The closing arguments will be
madc to-day. Gore Ia charged with OBJ
tanning money on a check last February, to
which the name of Col. G. A. Broadwater
was signed. From the testimony it APP
peared that Gore represented at Payne's
hotel on Park avenue, whore the check
was Dashed, that he had been in the employ
| Of Col. Rroadwater. The colonel denied on
the stand that Gore had ever worked for
him, and pronounced the check to be a
forgery. He said w. j. Fuchs. his private
secretary, was the only person authorized
to sign checks for him. Cores side of the
story, "a told by himself on the stand, is
that he was in company with a man named
Kessler, and that they both became pretty
we'll intoxicated. During their travels
about town they went into the Atlantic
beer hall. Here Gore says he paid for sew
eral dollars worth of drinks on Kessler's
account, and that Ksssler gave him
the check. which was drawn for
$16.a. Gore was staying at Payne's hotel
where he turned in the check to L. A. Mat
thews AZ part payment Oh his bill. Gore
testified that he came here from Butte, |
where he had been employed as assistant to
the assayer of the Boston and Montana
company. He had L. Molinelli of the Mis-
soula Gazette, subpoened to testify as to his
good character. When Miss Knowles at
tempted to bring out this testimony Col.
Nolan objected because it did not appear
that the witness had known the defendant
before tho date of the alleged ofense. Gore
made a very good appearance on the stand.
He is bright and answered Col. Nolan's
questions promptly and was not at
all embarrassed by the big words which the
prosecutor occasionally uses in exam
ming witnesses. The penalty for the crime
against Gore is from one to fourteen
years in Deer Lodge. He is ont on $500
bail. The signature on the check does not
.eSemble Col, BroadWater'g writing at all.
