NOTES FROM GOTHAM
COMMENTS ON THE CAREER OF COL
lNGERSOLL.

A Novel Present for Dewey-The New
Tombs Prison-A Sight in wall street
Echoes of the strike-she Was In
| dustrious.
All that was mortal Of Col. Robert
G. Ingersoll has been laid to rest. rhe
death of few men calls forth more
comment than has been bestowed in
this instance. Certainly that death
will be regretted by many thousands
who admired his brilliant oratory and
his majestic personality, even If they
could not follow him on agonistic
lines. AS we look back upon the life
of this singularly gifted man, the
shadow of his unbelief seems to have
turned all his talents and golden OPP
portunities to ashes. The only wonder
is that the gradually narrowing sphere
of his social, political and profession
al influence in the last twenty years
did not seem to affect his spirit or
| make him less bitter in his assaults
upon the beliefs that have for ages
been rock Of refuge and consolation
| for millions. The real fact is. that
the beliefs which he so vehemently
attacked had, among enlightened
church members ceased to be held. or,
at least, to be preached. Such people
felt that it was characture of Chris
tianity and not the real thing which
he was assailing His Mistakes OF
Moses" was a brilliant and witty pro-
duGtion, but the WORN of Moses will
weigh with millions of people long af-
ter those of Col. Ingersoll are forgot
ten. But withai his shocking unbe-
lief, he was a man of great and noble
qualities, tender of heart and full o.
sympathy for those who needed 1t
and how much of this was due to the
mighty influence in the world Of the
very beliefs which he attacked.
A Novel Present for Dewey.
Miss ADELAIDE Rosalind Richmond, a
pretty girl wro was society bud last
year, has sent novel gift to Admir-
al Dewey. Miss Richmond composes
music, and she had her latest march
entitled Yankee Pluck" autographed
on three American flags Of heavy silk.
This makes pretty piece of sheet mu-
sic, particularly as another flag, with
some verses of original poetry, is fas-
tened on as a title page. The young
lady has sent the march and a letter
| telling the Admiral she is indebted to
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-08-25

him for inspiration that enabled her
to write the music. Now, what can
Dewey answer to such an insidious
compliment? 1t is not likely that he
will at least fulfill the young lady's
wish, that the march be played by the
band Of the Olympia as the war ship
steams down New York harbor; Miss
Richmond's friends say that the mu-
sic is very good. However this may
be, there can be no fault found with
the way she has presented her work
to the hero of Manila.
Union Church Services.
Union services are a convenient
means of giving pastors their summer
vacation. The plan Is followed large.
ly in New York, and 1t gives general
satisfaction. Seven congregations In
the eastern district of Greater New
York worshiped together on Sunday,
the regular pastors being away at the
seashore or in the mountains, and a
minister, specially engaged, from De-
troit, conducted the services. Nearly
every church represented was OF a
different denomination, but there was
entire harmony Notwithstanding. In
the congregation were Presbyterlans,
Baptists, Congregationalists and Meth
odists. and the minister in charge con-
tinued to satisfy them all. He should
and does receive a good salary.
She Was Industrious.
A.l
break into a Harlem fiat the other
night in the absence of the family.
She could not get the door open, so
she coolly went cut and engaged a
locksmith to do it, He charged her
twenty cents for the job, and she stole
clothing and jewelry to the value of
| 5000. She was arrested, and in he
Harlem Police Court declared that she
was innocent. 81 am an Industrious
girl" she cried weepingly. $50 soe,"
Responded the Magistrate coldly, glanc-
ing at the pile of pawn tickets for the
stolen property that had been found
on her. and remanding her for further
inquiry.
New Tonbs Prison.
The new Tombs Prison Is progress
ing rapidly, and it looks as If 1t would
soon be ready for use. The new edi-
flee Is not so picturesque as the old,
with its great Egyptian pillars that
looked as if they had just come from
one of the palaces of the Pharoahs, but
1t will unquestionably be more con-
venient and much more healthful for
the prisoners. IT is painfully, staring
ly, uncompromisingly modern. 1t is a
kyscraper-rather an unusual thing
for prison. It's twelve stories made
1t look good deal like an office build
ing, except for its barred windows,
and the fact that its floors do not reach
the walls. 1t is light and airy, and ap-
pears to be what the authorities said It
should be-a model house of detention,

THE OLD "EAGLE TREE.
Said to De One of the Last Haunts
of the American Bird on
Long Island.

People of East Moriches are mourn
ing the fact that the old historic "eagle
tree" is now dead, and that in a few
years it will probably disappear alto
gether. After weathering many q
storm and withstanding several fierce
fires, it has at last succumbed to the
elements and is gradually disintegrat-
ing.
The tree was first occupied by pair
of eagles late in the last century. It
was the last known resort of the great
American bald-headed eagle on Long
Island. Each year after they first ap-
peared in the old tree the eagles re-
turned and built their nest and raised
their young. When the Manor &,
Sag Harbor branch of the Long Is
land railroad was built only 100 yards
from the tree the eagles abandoned it
and sought new retreat. But they
did not seem to be pleased with their
new quarters, and in 1886 or 1887 they
returned and once more set up their
home in the broad branches of the
aged tree.
Those who came to Riverhead and
Moriches would frequently see the
white-feathered head of the eagle fam.
lily soaring majestically over the coun.
try or else perched with dignity on the
gnarled branches of the oak and keep
ing watch over his mate. About six
years ago the family was broken up
through the cruelty of hunter, who
wounded the eagle so badly that he
afterward died, and his body was found
at the foot of the tree which had been
his home for so many years. Every
one felt sense of personal loss, and it
would have Jared hard with the hunter
had he appeared about this time.
After that pair of ospreys took pos.
session of the nest for awhile, but 1t
soon fell apart.
j. Buell. Terry, of East Moriches,
owns the land upon which the tree
stands. He says that the old tree haa
been marvelously hardy. 1t has, how
ever, reached its last days, but Mr..
Terry says that he will never allow it
to be cut DOWN.. Y. Tribune.
