and His Own Course in Recent
labor. Troubles

THE Arbiter of Morals was the title
Of sn address delivered last evening be-
fore a large audience at Metropolitan
Temple by Rev Peter c. Yorke at an en-
tertainment given in aid of the clergy
house of st. Peters parish, Of which
Father Casey is pastor.
D. F. Keefe presided, and a pleasing
programme was rendered by Miss Des-
moTd, the Knickerbocker Quartet, Miss
Anrie Rooney and William Ogilvie.
The address Of Father Yorke was a de-
fense of his attitude in the recent labor
strikes in this city and of the stand
taken by q. morning newspaper An at
tack. extreme in its vituperation, was
made by Father Yorke on Colonel John
p. Irish, who had disagreed with the
speakers views during the labor troubles.
and shafts Of denunciation were hurled
at the newspapers that deprecated the
reign Of terror existing during the strikes.
In defending the freedom of the
press" Father Yorke said that the op-
position to yellow journalism following
the assassination of President Mckinley
was the work Of competitors of the SAT-
fron-hued periodicals. He characterized
the worldwide storm Of condemnation as
an attempt to cut off the freedom of the
press"

The men of the razor tried to assure
them that it was not at all close in the
tonSorial parlorS, and that they could
send them on their way looking as hand
some as ever long before the marble floor
could be thrown against the ceiling by
the heat.
The men of Jurisprudence would heed
no such advice and with lather on their
faces and with only the port side of their
physiognomies cleared of stubble they
rushed for their coats and tiles.
The tonsorial artists tried to hold them,
but they. broke into run and were
greeted cheerfully at the door by Mayor
Phelan. The Mayor, with coat collar
turned up, was watching the work of the
firemen, and he expressed great pleasure
that Mr.. Riordan and Judge Conlan had
been saved from death. The legal gentle
men thanked him for his sympathetic re
gard, and removing the lather from their
faces with their handkerchiefs proceeded
to another tonsorial parlor to have a final
problem.

payment of the borouGh's share of the
municipal court, which the supreme
court recently decided could not be

there are two ways of adjusting the
matter, one is to hold a special cleo
tion to lcEalize the payment, or for
the property holders along the line of

the balance. The latter plan seemed
most feasible, but in order to get the
opinions of all persons interested a
committee of ten were named to wait
on the property owners today. If the
citizens do not approve of this plan, an
ordinance will be presented at tonights :

tied to quite an extent. ON the prop
crty of ID. Lewis there is cave-in that
extends across the property. 1t is
about thirty feet wide and some twcn-
ty feet in depth. The \. w. Brun-

premises are occupied by G. j. Ganze-

ly surprised on Friday morning to
find a hole some thirty feet in depth
and extending over quite a long sec

poarance during the night. The
ground in and about that vicinity is
settling ana great cracks in the earth
are to be seen. The Temple Iron COM
