one could hear a word ne said.
Congressman Stewart followed and
impressed the audience further
with the total depravity of every
thing Democratic and the beatifice
sanctity of everything Republican. There
was an adjournment to the dining room
where lunch was eaten.
FURTHER HONORS FOR THOMAS.
Mr. McEwan sat at the head of the
table surrounded by such good Repub-
ncans as Judge Blair, Flavel McGee,
Colonel Sam Dickinson, Chief Murphy,
Sheriff Toffey, General Ramsay and John
Atkinson. Among those at the other
tables were Mayor Wanser, Police Conf
missioners Feeney, West and Abernethy,
Assemblymen Duncan, Slower, Drake and
Blackshaw, and would-be Assenbiyman
de r, Leonard, Reuben Simpson, ex-
Assemblyman Erwin, Aaron S. Baldwin,
Alderman ffnl, Ed Woolley. Justice
Potts, Warden Osborne, John A. Walker,
Clerk Fisher, G. W. Hamtll, Colonel
Newberry, ex-Judge Abel I. Smith, Geo.
A. Conklin, James c. Young and Finance
Commissioner Detwiller.
Towards the close of the repast a wait

the table where Mr.. McEwan sat. 1t
was a beauty and bore the legend
Thomas McEwan, Jr., Honesty and In
tegrity." Flavel MCGEE arose and bal
ancing a huge cake on his hand in a
way that will get him a weeks engage
ment at the Bon Ton any time the law
business is dull, made a really humorous
speech. He said that Mr.. McEwan '.took
the cake" at the last election and the
steward of the club had prepared that
cake as symbolic of the event. He then
drew pretty parallels between the con-
comitants of the cake and the character
istics of McEwan. Thomas was tickled
half to death when Mr.. MCGEE said that
the yeast in the cake was symbolic of
the rising tendencies in McEwan and he
began TO see himself the occupant of the
W1sate House when Colonel Dickenson
rudely shattered his bright dream by
rernarking:-
Hes ,jollying you, Tom, there amt
any yeast In cake"
Mr.. McEwan quickly recovered andmdae
an appropriate reply. Then the company
broke up satisfied with the evenings
entertainment.

GIRLS HANDLING MUeKETS.
Bergen Reformed Young Women
Form brigade.

1t seems to have been thought neces-
sary of late to spend much time and
thought over keeping the young men
in churches while the girls were sup
posed to stay there from principle. OF
course the girls stayed, but some ener-
getic young ladies in DR.. Bretts Church,
getting tired of the "of course principle,
decided they would have something in
their church for girls. Accordingly, af-
ter long consultation they decided to
have a Girls Brigade. This brigade,
unlike the boys, has no religious test
The members are not compelled to give
up smoking Or drinking, but are allowed
to enjoy themselves thoroughly.
Captain Charles Law. who was one of
the organizers of Company A of the
Fourth Regiment, and who drills the
Boys Brigade, was asked by the girls
to drill them. He consented and for
nearly two years. Has taught them
military tactics once a week. The COM
pany has numbered in the fifties. but
now has only about thirty members.
1t is constructed upon a strict military
plan, and has the same fundamental
principles as all other military com
panies, having its officers, and, most
important of all. Treasurer. During
the two years of organization the COM
pany has never had Treasurer who
twenty-five cents is charged and the
dues are ten cents month. No fines
are made.
AS has been said. the Girls Brigade
is formed strictly for relaxation and
fun. The girls drill by fours in many
fancy figures. The figures are original
with Captain Law, and are used by
the girls alone. They have muskets and
q uniform.
The uniform is of colonial style in
buff and blue. The skirt is blue, with
a deep band of buff around the edge, and
the coat is blue with buff vest, slices
on the sleeves, and facings to the long
coat skirts. The caps used as yet are
the military fatigue, but the girls hope
soon to have the colonial three-car-
nered headwear.
THE new tactics are used exclusively
by the company" said Captain Law in
speaking of this brigade. 1.-THE girls
knew when they started they would
have to do much better than the boys or
pcOplC WOu1u Sdys OIlt llCy are Ouly
girls And they do beat the boys; why
1 would back them against any other
military company
The officers are first appointed accord
ing to their merit, and then get higher
positions by promotion. At present the
officers are:-First Lieutenant, Miss
Alice Shaver; Second Lieutenant, Miss
Winnie Hellmer; First Sergeant, Miss
Florence Ellis; Second Sergeant, Miss
Matte Lowenberi The Captain is Mr..
Law.
The company Till meet every Friday
night at seven o'clock in the Bergen Re-
formed Church. Exhibition drills are
given the first Friday in every month.
At these drills the friends of the mem
bers are invited to be present, and there
always is something worth seeing The
membership of the Boys Brigade, who
drill the same evenings at $3.50. have
hard work to keep up their reputation
for good drilling after the girls exhibiz
tions. The girls have gone all over the.
State, giving drills for charitable pur-
poses, and are always enthusiastically
recaived.

4, 1852; Died December %, 1884,
Although a great number of wreaths
had been received at Cliveden, not a
single one of them accompanied the coffin.
AS the solitary funeral car, with one lamp
lighted, slowly and wierdly tratersed the
dark avenue, Mr.. Astor stood in the door
way alone and watched it silently until
the light of the lamp faded from his
view. The car reached Taplow at seven
o'clock and the coffin was placed in the
guards van of the train, which awaited
it.
The train arrived at Paddington station
at S:03 A. M. and the body was trans
ferred to Euston Station, where, in the

BYRNEs MORTIFIED,
Says Price Must Apologizs,sksut That
Won't Bring Alberts Back.

Chief Murphy this morning communal
Gated with Inspector Byrnes of New
York and told him that he considered
Detective Price of his staff had acted
in an unfair and discourteous manner
in connection with Albert Alberts, the
burglar who committed the Fourth pre-
cinct robberies and is believed to have
stabbed Mrs. Hile. M
Inspector Byrnes gave Price instruc-
tions to give Chief Murphy all the as
sistance possible in securing Alberts'
removal to this city. When he learned
that Price had played traitor to the Chief
he was mortified and declared that he
would see that an apology was forth
coming.
6 Price has found complaints against
Alberts, but it is not due to any effort
or brightness on his part. All the prop
erty Stolen from Harlemites and upon
which Price now bases his complaints,
was recovered by the local police and
turned over to Detective Price. Alberts
will probably be sentenced in New York
next week. ~
