Quick Action.

From the New York World.
There is a story told Of a certain actor
who is very fond of little games of chance,
at which he is very lucky. He was passing
through one of the uptown side streets
after a dinner at which liquid refreshments
had been plentiful. To put 1t plainly, and
not to beat unnecessarily around the bush
he was a trihe unsteady. He came to an
organ-grinder, who was making the even
ing hideous. and whose receipts were taken
in by little frolicsome monkey. The or
gan was covered by a green cloth. The
9 ctor saw this, stopped and fumbled in his
pocket. He produced dollar and threw 1t
on the green cloth. Instantly the monkey
seized 1t and gave 1t to his master. WELL"

Some Admirable Features.
The superintendeut's platform is located
en- the south side Of this room and flights
of stairs lead to the visitors gallery from
either side The class rooms are twenty
eight In humber, although some of the
classes are so large that it was necessary
to throw three or four Of the class rooms
together to accomm odate them. Both
floors and the galleries in this main room
are also handsomely cdrpeta ed, and the en-
tire room seated with chairs made TO order
and especially fttSd in construction and
appearance to harmonlze with the main
features of the room. The walls and cell
inSs are beautifully decorated and arrange
ments are made for lighting the building
both with gas and electricity. In the tower
on level with the main tioor of the upper
roorS is the secretarys Office, and inmedi-
ately over this Is the superin tendents s
room. These rooms are in the northwest
part of the building, facing on Sth street.
In the northeast portion Of the building,
on level with the main floor, is a room
elegantly furnished and set apart for the
pastors study; connection has been made
from this room to The audience room Of
the church so that the pastor passes i'm
mediately from it to his pulpit. Over this
yet is another large room which will be
used as committee room ana also for q
meeting Of the teachers, which may he
called at any time. The two floors ard
gallery, including the pdrlor to be used by
the pi imary class, will accommodate about
1900 scholars. The average attendance Of
the school has rapidly increased during the
last four or five years. AMI the enrolment
at the present time is I,225. Since the 1st

removed from Fordham Hospital to
North Brother Island this morning. suf-
ferlng from smallpox.
He walked into the Office of the hos
pital yesterday afternoon, and said he
wanted the scars removed from his
face, motoning with his finger at erup-
tions too thick to be counted. 1t was
discovered that he had smallpox, and
when II was so announced, there was a
stampede of clerks. outdoor patients and
attendants.
The patient talked incoherently, being
unable to tell anything about himself.
He was evidently insane, probably from
the effects OF the disease. Where he
came from is a mystery, but 1t was sur
missed that he might be one of the dis
charged patients from the Charity Hos
pital on Wards Island, who had be-
come infected there, and who had devel-
oped the disease after leaving that In
Stitution.

they had succeeded In stamping out the

Yesterday during the absence of her
husband, Mrs. Clarity became very VIC

of being harmed. She attempted at one
time to throw herself out OF the win
dow.
Mr.. Clarity said that his wife had
never before betrayed any symptoms
Of INSANITY, but that. on the contrary,
she had possessed Il strong mind. He
thinks his wife,s present condition Is
due to the effects of vaccination.
1t could not be learned this morning

SALOONS CLOSED UP EARLY.
Noticeable Result Of Byrnes's
Talk to the Captains.
Central ONCE Men Said to Be Look
ing for violators OF the Law.

One of the injunctions contained in
the orders given out by Supt. Byrnes to
the police captains of the several pre-
cincts, all Of whom were summoned be-
fore him yesterday, was made manifest
at o'clock this morning. when all the
saloons in the Tenderloin Precinct
closed their doors.
E The order had been transmitted to the
saloon keepers by policemen on their
beats, and It was obeyed, ostensibiy, in
every instance excepting by places
which had been licensed to keep open
all night, IL there are any such In the
precinct. -,
Capt Schmittberger delivered long
lecture to the o'clock and midnignt
other things which he enjoined them to
look out for was gambling houses or
other suspicious places.

precincts, the same edict as regards the
closing of saloons was sent forth, but II

all hours of the day and night with but
the smallest semblance OF secrecy
The excise laws must be rigidly en-
forced heteafter, according to the su-
OF the precinct in which any violation Is
discovered will be summnrily called to
account by the Superintendent. who has
full power to act under a recent resolu-
ton of the Police Commissioners.
1t is also said that Central Office de-
tectives were scattered all over the
city last night taking notes and making
observations. This could not be except
BY Supt. Byrnes's directions. The OBJ
ject undoubtedly must have been to
make observations for the benefit of the
superintendent as to how faithfully his
orders were executed by the captains:
Supt. Byrnes refused to discuss the
matter to-day or even affirm or deny
whether the saloon and gambling-house
order was to be OF general application
or what further instructions, II any, he
gave the captains yesterday.
AS result Of the police vigilance, only
two excise arrests were made in the
Tcuderloin District last night. They
were Edward Nail, OF 4S1 Sixth avenue,
and Joseph Sheim, bartender for
Michael Minden, OF 800 Sixth avenue.
There was no evidence produced in court
to show that they were doing business
after hours. and Justice Mcmahon dis
charged them.
