MR. STP6NAEdN IN RRONZE

Mr.. Stranahan, to whom the people of Brock
Ign have by common consent accorded the title
of First Citizen-than which prouder title
could be conferred upon no one--will to-day
enjoy the unique privilege Of witnessing the UNI
yelling Of his own statue. The statue, which is
10 stand within few feet Of the principal en-
trance to Prospect Park rs the tribute of
number of Mr.. Stranahan's admring fellow
citizens to man prominently distinguished
for his public spirit. 1t is a deserved tribute.
He has been for nearly fifty years citizen Of
Brooklyn, and during all that time has taken
an earnest and genuine interest in public affairs.
And il has been an interest that had in il little,
if any, of the self-seeking spirit. Mr. Strana-
han has never been an offceseeker neverthe-
less, he has been an ofiicehoder, although the
greater part OF his work for the public has not
been remuneIatve. Prospect Park was his
creation and is his monument, but during the
twenty-five years that he served as president
of the Park Commission he drew 10 salary from
the city treasury. His invaluable services were
n5ought. Politics never was his business but
his devotion to public affairs has been constant
At the same7time he has carried on extensive
private business, acquiring a comfortable fort

with CITY affairs knows that his blunt way OF
going TO the roots of things has on tne "hoie'
been productive of good. Whether his stflc'-
ures are altogether called for in this particular
case we do not undertake to say; but there Is
no doubt that the buying of sites for school-
houses has not been done with the best OF JUG,
ment or an earnest desire to save the taxpayers
money This is not the first time attention mas
been called to the subject. 1t is time Tor a

The agents of the Forest Commissioners are
keeping sharp lookout upon the surveyors OF
DIR. Webb's new railroad and yesterday sent
word to Albany that trees were being cut upon
the States lands. The oompany's counsel seems
to think that this is all right, and that the com
pany has authority to cut down trees in order
to make proper survey. That is not the view
of the Forest Commissioners, and an Injunction
will be applied for if the tree'cutting is not
stopped.

The officers of the transatlantic steamship CON-
panes are showing praiseworthy desire to aid
rather than hinder the Government in the enforce
ment of the new immigration law. Their policy
now is in striking contrast with the course some
of them pursued when the moro rigid restrictions
against certain classes of foreigners were first put
in force. When the agents abroad are made 10
understand that the expense of returning eX-
cluded immigrants will be charged to them, they
will exercise great care in reference to the KIND
of persons they send TO America. Some OF the
lines have made this rule, and the others VIII
probably find it to their advantage to do so. In
this matter cooperation between the steamship
companies and the immigration authorities Is
vastly better than antagonism and attempts on
the part of the former TO evade the law.

On its face the story told to the Health Com

the Reception Hospital in bad light 1t ap-
pears highly probable that the girl who died
from scaret-fever contracted the disease through
needless exposure while awaiting removal from
this hospital to North Brother Island, when
suffering from diphtheria. The hospital physi-
clans will have an opportunity on Monday to
put in their defence. If the account given yes
terday is substantiated, there will be immediate
need of a sweeping reform in the Reception
Hospital. n

The competent artists who examined the de-
signs and models submitted for the new silver
coins have rejected all the 300, not because all
Of them were without merit, but because even
the best was not so superior to the present coins
as to warrant q change. 1t is a pity that the
terms of the competition were not liberal enough
to induce our foremost artists to compete. The
present opportunity to improve our coinage ar
tistically ought not to be neglected.

Without waiting for official information OF
The General Assembys action, the directors OF
the Union Theological Seminary held meeting
yesterday and adopted an emphatic resolution
expressing their determination to stand by DR..
Briggs. Before doing this they took legal ad-
vice, Mr.. William Allen Butler being consult
cd, and giving an opinion taking substantially
the same ground as Mr.. Day took nm the inter
view which The TRIBUNE printed last week.
That ground is that the transfer of Professor
Briggs was not tantamount to a new appoint
ment, and therefore did not properly come with
in the General Assembly's purview. The action
of the directors is sure to lead to REIMBURSEMENT
if not to a rupture, of the seminarys relations
with the Assembly.

The schoolgirls at Stamford whose self-denial
has provided @ summer home for New-York shop
girls deserve the happiest kind Of a vacation this
summG. They have given up many desired
dainties and have worked industriously in pre-
pairing entertainments and thus have raised
considerable sum of money which will be ex-
pended in paying the expenses of two weeks
vacation for some hundreds of hard-worked girls
from New-York stores If at any time in the
school recess dull days come and the young ladies
fear that their school recess is not success, they
may think of their many happy sisters for whom
their generosity has provided pleasure and health
in the invigorating country air, and the thought
will bring them new gladness.

The Itata incident is not ended yet but the
future proceedings will be tame compared with
the excitement produced by the vigorous pur-
suit instituted after the transport sneaked out
of San Diego. When surrendered she had
ZOO rifles and 1000, 900 rounds of ammuni-
ton on board The next step will be to return
her to San Diego for the action of the United
States courts. 1t is understood that her officers
and crew are convinced that discretion is the
better part of valor and that they will prefer
remaining in the latitude Of Chill to taking the
risk of putting themselves within our jurisdic-
non.

stories About the white House.

A historical fact not generally known
is that the Presidents house narrowly
escaped being a Congress house. In
179S, when the Government was creating
a capital in mud hole on the Potomac.
and had run short of funds, proposition
was made that work on the Capitol be
stopped, and that the White House be
fitted up for the use of Congress Es-
Inmates were secured on the cost of doing
the work, and if President John Adams
hadn't interfered the completion of the
building might have been delayed for
many years.
Another source of annoyance was the
disposition made of the great carpet pre-
sented to General Grant by the Sultan of
Turkey 1t was really an immense
Turkish rug. and of course it did not fit
the East room. So somebody cut it up
and sewed it together with q puckering
seam fit to give a man of good taste u
headache This was 50 ugly that they
took it out altogether, and cut the great
rug into still smaller pieces, used them
for time and finally sold them. | could
now take you to some rather modest
houses in this town where the mstresseS
and masters boast that their floors are
covered by the rug which the Sultan OF
Turkey presented to General Grant. Fol
lowing the rug came Il carpet as red as q
brick. Colors were colors in those days,
and in this case the carmine was pain
fully conspicuous.

THE LOCAL LEAGUE.
The Opening Games-Ath-
1etics, Bowling, Ring
and Gun.

The opening games OF the Jersey Clty
Amateur Bowling League were played
last night. 1t was a successful beginning.
This season teams of five compete aud
play two games instead of one with teams
of ten. the rule that prevailed last year.
The change will be beneficial so far as
averages are concerned, as only the
cracks will compete. The Champion
independents have gone to the 'front.' at
the start. They won two games from the
Volunteers, who put up weak total. ana
were several pegs below the average.
The Klikows and Pinknights welted tne
pins at Dukes alleys. They ran up big
scores. Duke was at the top with three
better than the two hundred mark. he
MADE only one break In each game In
the first game, although his score was
thirty lower than in the second contest,
ne gave better display OF skill.
He did not make solitary
strike but caught nine spares, several OF
them very difficult. The klkows were
without the services of Meschutt, one OF
their uuintette. Each team won game.
The first game was u close race to the
finish The Klkows made gains in the
last two frames and won by 36 pins. The
second game was exciting until the slXth
frame. when the Pinkpights spurted and
sent their total up to $40 and won by 81
