The Garter.

1t is in contemplation for the queen
to hold a chapter of the Garter at Wind
sor castle on June 2G or %, the function
to be followed by banquet to the
knights of the order in ST. Georges
hall. The last chapter Of the Garter was
held at Windsor in 1855. when the late
Louis Napoleon was invested by the
queen with the ribbon and insignia of
the order On these occasions all knights
have right to take part in the proceed
ings, but only those personages are ex-
pected who have been summoned. In
1856 the then Duke of Buckingham,
who was out of favor at court, was not
summoned, but nevertheless appeared at
the chapter. The queen showed her dis
pleasure by emitting to invite him to
the dinner which was given after the
chapter to all the other knights who had
been present London Truth.

A Clerks Mistake.

A clerk in the National bank of
Moorestown, n. j., recently closed the
safe for the day without first starting
the time lock which operates the COM
bination. This emission was not dis
covered until the next morning, when
all efforts to open the safe were futile.
At last z telegram was sent to the safe
makers in Cincinnati. A man was i'm
mediately sent on. He said that the only
way to open the safe was to start the
clock. He called for a large piece of
timber-all that several men could han
die.
Six strong men set at work with it to
jar the safe door sufficiently to start the
clock. After many attempts the time
piece was set going. Then there was
nothing to do but TO wait until the clock
ran the required number of hours. Then
the door was readily opened.
Business was virtually at standstill
four days causing much anxiety Oh the
part of the officials

Notes From Up The Valley.
shutting Out the Sea.

Along the north Jersey coast from Long
Branch TO AsbG-y Park the coast ia formed
of bluffs and high ground, and walls that
will offer direct resistance TO the waves
must be constructed 10 protect them frGn
the waves. These bluffs are being washed
away rapidly where not protected by some
artificial device. and the sand is carried
back into the sea, where sand bars are
formed with il. Many years ago when the
Jersey seaside resorts FIRST became promi-
mont efforts were made To protect this
shore with heavy timber bulkheads. But
each recurring winter these massive tim
bcrs were washed away and u good slice
of the bluffs was lcvelcd No matter how
heavy and strong this sort of protection Is
made, the sea il pretty sure to batter IL
down in time, and the work must be re
peatcd. For ii. years now property owners
have wasted their money i'm building make
shift timber walls To protect their land
from the ocean along many parts of our
coast The same amount of money put in
strong walls of masonry and concrete would
yield permanent results that would endure
for half IL century, and in time this must
be the outcome of the present abortivo ut
ternpts to keep back the sea
Besides wooden walls numerous jettics
run out into tho ocean To break the force
of the current, and i'm this way the damage
TO the bluffs is somewhat lesscned. Nearly
every storm of any great fury not only car
ries away ar demolishes part Of the walls,
but makes great inroads into the bluffs of
sand behind them. A solid stone wall,
with sloping faces to the sea, would pro-
tcct the bluffs so that private and public
property would be secure for all time. The
best illustrations of this principle of coast
defense can bc seen In the numerous stone
breakwaters constructed by the govern
ment for harbor protection. --IAppincott :.

REMEMBERED IN DEATH.

The Funeral Of william #. Brogsn Held
Yesterday Afternoon.
So much has been said about the death
of William f. Brogan, the Dexter street
barber, who, when seriously i'll, had been
transferred to the State Almshouse In a
Goddard buggy, that the announcement
that his funeral would be held yesterday
afternoon drew large number of people
to the rooms of Undertaken Phillips on
Dexter street. The remains were brought
from the State institution on Monday and
prepared for burial by Mr.. Phillips.
Many unfavorable comments were heard
from the people present at the manner in
which the case was handled. Promptly at
O'Clock the funeral cortege was arranged,
and wended its way to Holy Trinity
Church, where the full church service was
accorded to the remains of the deceased.
The services were conducted by Rev. FIR.
Farrelly, who delivered few forcible re-
marks upon the unusual incidents of the
case After the services at the church the
remains were taken to the new cemetery
at Valley Falls for interment. The fol-
lowing business men in the vicinity OF
Dexter street acted as bearers: Patrick
Clancy, j. j. Nulligan, George Bird and
Joseph Welch. The funeral expenses were
betrayed by popular subscription.

Considerable Explaining Has
Been Done at the City
Hall Of Late.
An Important Ordinance Was
Passed and For Some Reason
Was Not Printed.
THE PUBLIC IS BEWILDERED.
II Appears to the Citizens That City Engineer
Keene Ought to Have Consulted the Mayor
About the Department Notes.

The last two or three weeks have been
eventful ones for the people in the City
Hall. Considerable explaining" has been
done, and the more explaining is done the
deeper they are sinking in the mire. An
important ordinance was passed, and for
some unknown reason 1t was pigeon
holed. and there it remained until found
by Councilman Frank Washburn, chair
man Of the Committee on Printing. Many
such cases Of petty politics have been prac-
ticed during the time Mayor Gottschalk
has been in power. OF course it would
not do for a Democratic Mayor to have
the slightest advantage or control OF any
city departments. The explaining process
has shown many peculiar combinations
which ought to be beneath the dignity Of
men claiming to be American citizens.
When the matter was first brought to
light Councilman Washburn told TRIB-
UNE reporter that the ordinance was found
among the private papers of City Engineer
Keene, and that City Clerk Crawford was
not so much to blame.
In connection with this it might be
stated that Councilman Washburn might
have found the typewriter copy, which
Mr.. Keene says he made from the original
ordinance, or again, it might have been
the original document itself. That ques-
tion remains for them to settle among
themselves. One thing is certain, the
ordinance was not printed, despite the
fact that Section 5 of the city ordinances
says that ''all ordinances hereafter enacted
shall be published by the city clerk in
pamphlet form for the use Of the members
and officers of the city government, and
for general distributions; said publication
OF said ordinances shall be made as soon
after their enactment as may be practi-
cable, and printed copies shall be placed
in the city clerks Office for distribution
in sufficient numbers to supply all persons
who may desire them"
1t seems, however, rather queer to the
citizens that City Engineer Keene, know
ing the contents of this ordinance Of
which he says he had copy, and knowing
according to the wording of the ordinance,
he was directly responsible to the Mayor,
that he'did not at any time consult him in
regard TO the expenditures OF his Office.
When he was making his annual estimates
for the present year, it seems on the face
of it, that he ought to consult with the
Mayor concerning the amount required to
run the department for the next ensuing
year. On the contrary, he entirely ignored
his opinion, and this, to say the least,
was rank dscourtesy OF the most political
kind.

Fifth Sitting at the Rooms OF the Young

The fifth sitting in the whist tourna-

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
The Democratic Club Anxious for the Con.
test to Begin.

The Democratic Club Anxious for the Con-
test to Begin.
Never in the history of the Democratic
Club of Central Falls was there such a sue
cessful and enthusiastic meeting as the
one held last evening. The members of
the club are spelling for the fight to COM
mence, and plans are being arranged to
make one of the most aggressive cam
paigns in the history of the city. A re-
newed activity is apparent in every MEM
ber of the association, and confidence
reigns supreme that the victsry will be
most pronounced.
Every section of the city was represented
by large delegations whel ex-Councilman
German, president of the club, opened the
meeting. President Germans greeting to
the members of the club was eloquent and
forcible. He had made, he said, careful
and thorough canvass of the city, had felt
the pulse of the citizens at large, and had
come to the conclusion that this was
Democratic year. Continuing, he said
that the bulk of the citizens have deter
mined to teach the Republican ring les
son which will eventually weed out the
disreputable element from their midst.
Reports from the different ward repre-
sentatives were given, the gist of the re-
ports being that the party is united and
prepared to support to man whatever
ticket may be placed in nomination by the
Democratic City Convention. Remarks of
an encouraging character were made by ex-
Alderman Martin, Robert Mcclure, Chair
man of the Democratic City Committee;
Councilman John p. Carlin, William +.
McGlynn and others. A resolution was
passed endorsing the The EVENING TRIB-
UNE's course in the fearless manner i'm
which it is handling the political ques-
tions of the day

A Degenerate PLAY by Max Nord.u.

DR.. Max Nordau's new play, 1.-The
Right to Love-" is an erotic drama,
with a degenerate woman, Mime. Bertha
Wahrmund; her husband, Joseph Wahr-
mund, and her lover, Otto Bardenholm,
AS chief characters. Mime. Bertha, AZ
the climax to her degeneracy, comes to
the conclusion that, az she no longer
loves her husband, it is not right for her
to continue to live with him, but Bar
denholm, her mercenary lover. refuses
10 support her away from her family.
DIR. Nordau's treatment Of the theme
reminds us forcibly Of some of Ibsen's
prose dramas. As DIR. Nordau, in DE
generation" pays his compliments to
Ibsen in no favorable language, he will
scarcely relish the above statement con-
cerning The Right TO Love. Home

held concerning the relative merits of the
different candidates for the Assembly
ticket, but nothing definite was reached.
The opinion of the committee, however,
was to the effect that Mayor Gottschalk
would be the strongest candidate for SEN

the intention of the committee to recon-
mend united action all along the line.

UP YHE VALLEY.
LectureOn Froude'S Ireland
at Odd Fellows Hall.
Emmet's Praises Sounded by an
Eloquent Protestant.


In Odd Fellows Hall, John street, LonB-
dale, last night, Rev. George w. Pepper,
the noted Irishman whose fame as an ora :
tor and patriot is known in every land
where his race has found an abiding place,
delivered his lecture, 'Froude's Ireland,
from Protestant Standpoint"
The audience was large and very appre-
ciative. The reverend orator was intro
duced by ex-Councilman William Burl
of Cumberland, president of the Thomas
Davis Literary Association, under whose
auspices the lecture was given. Mr.. Burke
spoke fittingly in presenting Mr.. Pepper.
Preceding and following the address a
concert program engaged attention, the
various numbers finding much favor.
Miss Julia Tighe played piano solo, Mrs.
Patrick McKenna sang soprano solo, Mr..
James T.. Rogers rendered baritone selec-
tions and Miss Tighe closed the program
with 'Killarney."
OF the distinguished clergyman's efforts
it would be unfair to speak briefly. No
short synopsis could give just idea OF
its general excellence, its comprehensive
ness, its humor, its pathos and its passion
The elegance of the speakers diction,
the fervor of the speakers eloquence, the
charm of the speakers personality must
be heard and felt.
He told the story OF Ireland's wrongs as
only a man whose heart had been made
pointed out clearly and supported his state
ments with proof of the most convincing
character that the English historian lied
repeatedly, outrageously, venomously in
his lectures on the people OF the Green
Isle. He extolled the patriots of every
name and race and linked the name Of
Wolf Tone, Washington, Lincoln and
Emmet together, speaking of them as
crowned with liberty in Heaven. He at
tackled the critics of Ireland and exposed
their monstrous falsehoods. He-but space
forbids; he handled his subject in mas
terful and thoroughly satisfying manner.

MILK DEALERS REGISTERING

Inspector johnson VIII Enforce the Law
to the Letter.
1t is the intention of the newly elected
Inspector of Milk, Alfred J. Johnson, Jr.,
to make the dealers in milk live up to the
law covering the sale and distribution of
the same. For the past week he has been
exceedingly busy registering the distribut-
ers, and is much gratified with the manner
in which the dealers are complying with
his request. He has as yet done little out
side work, but has succeeded in obtaining
samples from five dealers, and in every case
he has found that the product is above the
standard required.
