SAYS CITY Is INUNDATED WITH VICE

i have thought that New-York has its pitiless
Tiber as truly as Rome, said the Rev. Spencer S.
Roche in St Marks Episcopal Church. Adelphi-
ST. near DeKalb-ave., Brooklyn yesterday morn
ing The stream he spoke of he described as
The torrent OF revelry, debauchery, dishonesty,
drunkenness oppression, violence, murder, and yet
more cruel lust, those raging waves of the neither
sea or perdition, ever foarmng out of their own
shame ever coursing through gates, ever toss
Ing their foul billows and dashing the poisoned
spray close to our exchanges and banks and clubs
and the stately homes OF wealth and the ranks OF
apartment houses and the countless tenements
where huddled the poor"
The subject of the sermon THE City's Ever
flowing River of Vice. and the Citizens Duty in
Times OF Inundation. He spoke of vice being
an old story-the same old story-which at times
threatened, unless kept back. completely to destroy
the city. Like the Tiber, he said this river
foul. and constantly bearing away the spirits OF
those who have been contaminated with it-"fair
women. without discretion; strong men, without
moral ballast; pearls fallen in the mud" "Oh, If
we could only drag these depths OF intemperance
riotous living defalcation, ncentiousness." added
Mt Roche. what precious things should hnd,"
Speaking of the citizens duty in time Of inunda-
ton. the preacher went to say:

our nostrils shall not be offended with the stenchss

MOSS on THE VICE QUESTION.
FAvoRs STATE POLICE COMMISSION WHICH
COULD REMOVE LOCAL OFFICIALS

COULD REMOVE LOCAL OFFICIALS.
Frank Moss made address before the Culture
Club OF the Calvary Presbyterian Church, at West
Brighton. Staten Island, Saturday evening. He
spoke briefly of the vice crusade, the proposed
State Constabulary bill and the work of the Mazet
Investigating Committee Of which he was counsel.
He believed the proper remedy would be the
appointment of a State Police Board which would
have the power to step in where evils were be-
lieved to exist investigate the conditions and re-
the police officials responsible for the con-
tinuance of dives and other evils. If such board
could remove Chief Devery, President York and
the other members OF the Police Board, reforma-
ton would quickly be effected in New-York.
He said that the MaZet Committees investiga ation
had been of little value. One Of the most powerful
men ir New-York had been called to the stand
and had refused to tell of his private affairs He
had only refused to recognize the committee 8
authority, but had dared it to call to the stand
another man who is powerful in the political af-
fairs Of the city and State. This dare was not
taken, and soon afterward the committee vanished.

The Dining Room.

Women who are the delighted pos
SCISSORS of large, low-ceilinged dining
rooms, old oak furniture and precious
china are the envy of their less fortu-
nate sisters. A parlor never appeals
to a woman as a dining-room does.
She is always ~concocting some scheme
by which her dining-room can be made
more homelike. AS the dining-room
is frequently the living room also, it
should receive all possible care. If it
is fairly large, has hardwood floor and
a deep window or two, it may be made
a thing of beauty. The floors should
be polished or waxed, preferably dark,
and strewn with a bright rug or two,
although a lounge and chairs uphol-
stored in blue and white cretonne are
desirable for comfort and cheer. The
lounge must be broad and low, with
several durable pillows. This will be
appreciated by the head of the house,
says the New Orleans Picayune. Wall
paper in delft blue is most effective, al
though the color scheme may call for a
different style. In the windows have
a few growing plants. Let them be
vivid greens and reds. They add much
to the cheerfulness of a room. One or
two carefully chosen pictures may
hang on the walls. Their choice is apt
to be a nerve-racking operation, un-
less the housewife has confidence in
her good taste; copies of fruit pictures,
game and fish are permitted, and an
old family portrait in oils. If one is in
doubt about pictures, the walls may be
