ter objected so strongly to these regular
weekly visits of their pastor that they
always conveyed him in the smallest
possible boat and in the toughest water
from the mainland to the island. As a
result the pastor always arrived in a
drenched and re-dead-than-alive con-
dltion to preach the gospel, and soon
gave up the position.
Before Mr.. Terrell left the island for
the first time he had bought about two
thirds of it, and since that time the
greater part of the remaining third
division has passed into the hands of
the club which now controls it. For
several years Mr. Terrell ruled alone.
Having built comfortable house for
himself, he began to improve the island
and make it more accessible to his
friends. His first investment was a
white horse, the first which had ever
been brought to the island, and the next
was a steamboat which would carry
himself and his visitors in short time
from the mainland to the landing on the
western side of Broadwater. When the
entire property had been drained and
improved generally Mr.. Terrell con.
celved the idea of making the island
into shooting club, and invited mum
Der OF his friends to JOIN him.
The club was regularly incorporated
the name of the island was changed
from Hogs to Broadwater, and fine
club house was built and is kept open al
all times for the members. Nearly all
of the latter own their plots of land on
the island, besides the regular club
property, and many of them have
erected cottages of their own. 1t is alto
gether most conservative affair, and
unless one is very good fisherman or
hunter and good all-round man he has
little chance of becoming a member.
Among the earlier members were Judge
Henry Reed, Clement Griscom and John
G. Sims, and it is such men as these,
who, with Mr.. Terrell, have practically
made the club what it is today.
The cluD is principally used by the
members during the spring and fall

No public man has tried to evade pub
Iicity with more assiduity and with less
success than President-elect Grover
Cleveland. Whether he went to the

movements were always chronicled and
the reporter was always at his side.
When he decided about two weeks
ago that his health required that he
should have fortnight of absolute rest
and quiet, he put the case in the hands
of his friends and asked them to make
one final effort to find a place where he
could spend his holidays away from
officeseekers and newspaper men.
In this advanced age of politics and
Journalism such a spot was nor easy 10

The idea Of passing
Christmas Furless is as alb
surd as allowing the ami
versary to slip away with
out making a present. Our
exhibit of Fur Novelties is
worth going miles to see,
and you will have to go
miles to see anything like it
elsewhere. Next to their
quality, the wonderful thing
about our stock is the price.
The ladies are delighted in
both these important partic-
ulars. They find our dis
play of New Designs as
comprehensive as the die
tionary, and to want what
can't be found in our as
sortment would be to ask
for something which no one
would dream of wearing in
fur. We are selling a great
many Garments Of all kinds
nowadays, but temporarily
Seal seems to lead. This is
doubtless owing to the ex-
IRENE low prices we have
seen fit to make on this ar
ticle. Ladies are certainly
missing their chance when
they fail to get a MINK
GARNENT at present
prices. They are cheap,
very cheap, and so per cent
less than Eastern wholesale
prices. Mink articles are on
the top wave of fashion East,
and Mink is bound to be
very expensive before an
other year, 1t has intrinsic
merit, and we advise our
customers to buy it. Our
CLOZHGARDIENTSare
very handsome, and, while
we haven't many left, they
are faultless in style and
quality, and at our present
reduced prices we think
they are great bargains If
you can use one you better
come and look at these
goods. This is a good time
to select a Fur Set, a Fur
Muff or anything Of that
nature and lay aside for a
Christmas Gift. Surelynoth-
ing can be nicer. Much to
our surprise, we have been
as busy as ever this past
week. The ladies evidently
took our word about COM
ing while there was a lull
in trade, and came so fast
that the lull was soon a
matterot imagination. It's
a mistake to wait till late
for the purchase of Furs.
for it's a matter of continual
selection. Each purchaser
wants the best, and natural
ly the late purchaser gets q
little the worst Of it. If he
or she buys cheaper, they
are taking what somebody
else has left--see?

waiting sportsmen. The natives have
arranged shooting blinds along the en-
tire shore OF the island and these are al
ways free to the members Of the club.
The beach is in itself eight miles long
and 400 feet in width, and carriage
can be driven over every part of it.
Mr.. Cleveland may now be said to be
in possession of the island. and there is
probably no place where he could be
more free from political cares than on
Broadwater. The only pity is that he
cannot get some of the fish, but if he is
half as good a shot as he is fisherman
he wi II have no cause for complaint.

to every dollar he receives to live in
Washington. Has it compensations?
Well, it offers many opportunities for
doing good and there is a great deal of
honor in it to one who administers his

Major Patrick Sarsfeld Dorney Dies
at Seattle.
News has been received here of the
death of Patrick Sarsfield Dorney at
Seattle. The deceased was well-known
in this city, where he lived for many
years. He was a boot-maker by trade,
and formerly worked at that business
here with his father. He was well edu-
Gated and had a strong liking for liter
AZURE and politics,
During the Kearney Workingmen's
agitation Dorney came to the front as a
local leader. His really brilliant talents,
it was at one time thought, would place
him at the head of the movement, but
Kearney had a hold on his followers that
none could break.
Dorney developed splendid ability as
an orator, while his newspaper articles
reflected a mind well stored with general
knowledge. He was, moreover, consid-
cradle of a poet.
Originally Democrat, Dorney took the
stump for the Republicans in the Blaine
campaign, doing effective work in the
East. He also made speeches in the Har-
rison campaign.
Deceased was native of Ireland and
80 years of age. He came to this country
when child and when the war broke
out he enlisted in a Massachusetts regi-
ment composed chiefly of Irishmen. He
retired from the army at the close of the
war with the title of Major.
Like many other men of bright intel
lects, Dorney was the victim of a social
falling that stood between him and dis
tinctiOD.

He Formally Asks Chief of Police
Rodgers to Vacate.
Ex-Chief of Police Drew, accompanied
by Attorney Charles t. Jones, went to the
police station Saturday forenoon, and de-
manded that the Office be turned over to
him.
Chief Rodgers was there when the party
arrived and received them cordially. OF
course he declined to vacate.
Mr.. Jones called his attention to Judge
Van Flett's decision, but the Chief said
he had been advised by his attorneys that
there was no vacancy in the Office yet, and
until there was one he would continue to
run things at the City Prison.
The City Trustees will in all probability
do something with reference to the matter
at their session this morning. From
statements they have made during the
week, it is believed that they will put
themselves on the safe side by appointing
John B. Rodgers Chief of Police. They
do not appear TO be satisfied as TO whether
or not this action is necessary at this time,
but they have been advised that no harm
could come of their making the appoint
ment any how.
AN APPOINTMENT TODAY.
Action in the case of Chief of Police
Rodgers viii be taken by the Board OF
Trustees this morning.
City Attorney Harris advice was asked
yesterday as to the proper action to be
taken by the board. Mr.. Hart gave it as
his opinion that it was the duty of the
Trustees to declare the Office vacant, and
then appoint to fill the vacancy. The APP
pointee will hold the Office until the next
election.
Mr.. Hart also expressed his opinion
that the next city election, in October,
would not be a general election, as only
one officer, the Police Judge, would be
elected.
1t is now assured that the Trustees will
act unanimously this morning in appoint
ing Rodgers to be Chief of Police, to hold
the Office until the next spring election.

Look out for another riot in China
town." said Chinaman who speaks
good English, Saturday, in the course of
conversation with RECORD UNION
reporter.
DO you think there is one on hand ?''
asked the scribe
Yes, l do" was the decided reply. He
then went on to explain. He had not
noticed any warlike preparations-tha
being always done very secretly. But
what he based his belief upon was the
fact that within the past three or four
days a large number of Chinese mer-
chants have been sending TO San Fran
cisco for accident insurance and life in
surance policies. They were refused
these by several local insurance agents, it
was said, and that was why they sent to
the metropolis. "You can laugh at me
II you like" said the Chinaman, "but I
know there is trouble brewing. These
merchants would not be insuring them
selves If they did not expect another bat
tie IN which they would be liable to be
hit by stray shot"
The police do not take much stock in
the story, believing that they have effect
ually broken up the murderous band of
hlghblnders which caused the last riot
The police were sent on a wild goose
chase Saturday. Chief Rodgers received
information that gang of highbinders
was en- route from San Francisco to this
city, and that they were to assist in some
shooting here. He and several of his Of
ficers went to the depot, and sure enough
| there was quite an outfit of hard looking
heathens on the train. The officers placed
them all under arrest and took them to
the City Prison. At the latter place. how
ever, Attorney y. l.. Hart identified the
prisoners as witnesses for the defense in
! the Chinese murder case in progress in
| the Police Court. They were accordingly
released.
Attorney Hart is authority for the state
ment that most of the witnesses for the
defense in that case are being driven ont
of town by the highlander retainers of
the other side-the Chez Kong Tong.
