DINNY PUT THE BALL IN PLAY.
II Wasn't q College Game, but the En-
thusiasm Was Unbounded.

At the foot of Duane, Jay and Frank
lin streets is a plaza 100 feet wide and
300 feet long. paved with granite blocks.
Yesterday afternoon there was a battle
hard fought there. There were eleven
men in each army and over five hundred
spectators.
The twenty-five men impersonated
football players.
The cobbled flags was the. field Piles
of cobbles at either end of the plaza
served as goal-posts. The football was
a rubber ball foot in diameter covered
with canvas and coated with tar.
The game began at =. Nj. Patsy Nc
Guiggan was the referee. Dinny Herlikey
captained one eleven and Danny Mccoy
the other. A policeman posed as pro-
prietor of the show. Dinny Herlihey
put the ball in play and for forty min
utes the men struggled.
The players struck the cobbles with
terrific force. but did not seem to mind
it. Most OF them were young fellows,
drivers of trucks or 'longshore lads,
hardened and toughened. They rolled
about as II they were on the softest turf.
The enthusiasm OF the spectators was
marvellous. They edged close up to the
plaza and applauded every play.
The Hcrlihey eleven won. They got
the ball through the Mccoy players
goal once. Another game will be played
next Sunday. Providence and the police
permitting.

Police Commissioners, would participate
in the conference. but he was not seen
at the Hoffman House.
In the evening the Lieutenant, Governor

80 tho Portchcster Presbytsrians Got Tired
of his Round Of Sermons.

The Presbyterians OF Portchester have
decided that the usefulness OF their
pastor, the Rev, w. W. Richie, u. D.,
has about been worn out. Mr.. Richie
came from Philadelphia In June. 1880.
Though never formally Installed AS pas
tor, he has continued to administer the
duties of the position,
Iatterly, some OF the conservative
members of the congregation became
dissatisfied with him. They say his ser
mons were dry and his conduct rather
frivolous II vas claimed he had a set
OF sermons, and that when he reached
the last one he began them all over
again
The property on which the church
stands was decided over To the trustees
from the estate OF the late Henry Peck.
Rev. Mr.. Richie asked for these deeds
a few months ago to clinch the title of
the church. The trustees say he stiil
holds the deeds. A meeting OF the trus-
tees was held recently, at which the
state OF affairs was discussed. Mr..
Richie put In a claim for 500 salary and
$3.50 fees In reward for services rendered

Face the Music

No man, no country was ever the
richer or the happier for sitting down
and crying over spilled milk, or sittin 9
by the wheel and bemoaning the loss
of the water that had passed over it.
Trite as this is, it has a real and signili
can't application to the present busi-
ness situation, regarding which, in
greater or lesser degree, the entire
country is concerned. On Monday the
Mckinley Tariff was in operation in
every Custom House in the United
States it was a strong, effective Pro-
tective barrier against injurious, and
in respect to some things, destructive
foreign competition, giving to Ameri-
can capital and labor the markets Oi
this country, to which, however the
question may be considered, they are
justly entitled.
But the Mckinley Law has been
superseded by the German Tariff, and
though it is natural those who reaped
since 1890 the advantages of the for.
mer should regret the supersedure, it
will not be wise for them to sit idly
down and bemoan the change. 1t must
be said of the KcKinley Act, as the
poor French Able said of the steady,
willing beast that had borne him far on
his journey: "The horse was a good
horse: but, the horse is dead" The
Able could ride no farther, so, without
staying to grieve over his loss, he took
up his staff and finished his pilgrimage
afOOt.

The recent movement in the direct
ion Of the adoption of individual com
munion cups among certain churches
in Philadelphia has led number OF
jewelers. To begin the manufacture OF
the cups and other parapherpalia con.
nected with the service. A prominent
Chestnut street dealer has the cups in
all shapes and sizes arranged in port
able racks. Some Of the cups are
scarcely bigger than thimbles, while
others are as large as a small teacup.
The idea of adopting the individual
cups at communion service was first
taken up in this city by the Fourth
Baptist Church. at Fifth and Button
wood streets, and o number of other
churches will probably follow suit.
The merits OF the reform from a sani,
tary point of view are very strongly
urged by o number of prominent citi'
zens throughout the country.
