BOGuS INVITES To LECTURE.
Mr. stark Abuses Himself with the Clergy
and the Educational Alliance

A man who gave the name Of NJ. NJ Stark,
who represented himself TO Re an agent
Of the Educational Alliance OF East Broad
way, has caused that organization some
annoyance. A few weeks ago he called on
the Rev. leighton Williams Of si2 West
Fifty-fourth street and asked Mr.. Williams
TO deliver a lecture before the organization
on Oct. ~
Mr.. Williams said he would be glad 10
do so. A few days before the date get for
the lecture Mr. Williams met Supt. Blau-
stein OF tho Alliance and mentioned his
coming lecture. Mr.. Blausten was puzzled
and after questioning Mr.. Williams further
on the subject informed him that Stark
was not known to the Alliance.
The day after he saw Mr.. Williams Mr..
Blaustein met the Rev. Mr.. Paddock
formerly rector Of the Pro-Cathedral IN
Stanton street and learned that he, too,
had agreed to lecture before the Alliance at
the request OF Stark,
Mr.. Blaustein began an investigation,
but has been unable to get any trace ~
Stark. Soon after Mr.. Williams met Sup'
Blaustein he received letter from Stark
which said that the Alliance had disap-
proved of his lecture course as he had AZ :
ranged 1t and II at he had resigned his post
He told Mr.. Williams that he did not know
whether the Alliance would care 70 carry
out his schedule.
Supt Blausten said yesterday that
Stark had not profted by his work and that
in his opinion the man was insane. H.
said that he thought other clergynien ha,
been taken in and hcprd that they would
communicate with him " such Ia the case.

Now that Mr.. ANDREW FREEDMAN has
retired from the baseball world and the
future of the New York club is in other
hands. it remains to be seen what the new
management will do for the local devotees
of the national game. At one time we were
severe in our criticism of Mr. FREEDMAN.
On several occasions when players had
participated in unpleasant exhibitions at
the Polo Grounds, We were loud in our con-
demnation of the club management, and
part icularly of Mr.. FREEDMAN rs its Presi-
dent. attributing the responsibility TO him.
For some time past there has been evidence
of a desire for better things, and we are
satisfied that Mr. FREEDMAN il entitled TO
tho credit Our past criticisms were not
intended to reflect upon Mr.. FREEDMAN
personally, but upon the club management
which we hope will profit, as far As the dis
cipline of the players is concerned. by his
example.

Not only Is Macedonia, or at least that

That the Turkish Government UNDER
stands this is shown by the sending OF
troops to Dedeagatch. the terminus OF
the Adrianople railway on the Egean
Sea and an important point on the direct
line of rail between Constantinople and
Salonica. The object Of this is to guard
against an insurrectionary movement
toward the coast from the Rhodope
Mountains for the purpose Of cutting the
land communications between the CAPT.
tai and the extreme western provinces
Of the Empire.
The fact that the Bulgarian revolu-
tionaries have so soon shown their hand
and defed that part OF the decisions OF
the Berlin Congress relating to Euro
pean Turkey will not dispose the West

favor, and although Russia may for her
own purposes desire the ultimate ex-
tension OF Bulgaria to the limits OF the

the time Ia ripe for its accomplishment.
For many reasons also the British Gov
eminent would actively oppose the ex-
tension Of Bulgaria to the coast Of the

of the renewal Of intimate relations be-

Divers of our esteemed contemporaries

business. While cleaning up piece Of

blurs the true outlines of the fisherman
Is blown away. he stands before them,
rod In hand, in that strangely bespangled
atmosphere which surrounds the cam

fortunately, he is n jolly good fellow.
There is a time, however, when the

gloomy "c,iss' AT times. He's man.
Fish stories around log fires will soon
be in order. II is said that the anglers
are seen at their best when facing hot
toddy Moreover, when the rod and
reel are laid aside, two good friends still
remain faithful to the fisherman-the
dog and the gun. Very many enthusiast
tic anglers are ardent hunters.
The season now closing was better
than was expected at the beginning.
The spring was cold and the weakfsh
came in late. The weather was whimsi-
cal. Squalls were plentiful enough and
steady breezcs were few. In fact it
may be said that there was no settled
weather during the entire summer All
the same there was good fishing in
Jamaica Bay and at many other points
of Long Island and New Jersey. On the
Staten Island shore the Great Kills rolled
up a big count of woakiish and some
days the fishing there was of the " old
| time order. At Sandy Hook and the
Romer the sport was unsteady, in fact
it was poor although at the latter far
| famed spot, night fishing was simply
| grand. Few fishermen hereabouts care
toanglc by night, especially Mt the Romer.
| The traffic in the channels is far greater
now than it used TO be- and it is bad
enough to be a steamboat dodger in the
open day without having to watch for
port and starboard lights on a dark
night. There are too many reds and
greens for comfort on board small craft.
To digress for moment, the Enthusiast
who in the warm weather tries the Romer
by night will take all risks TO reach there
again and again. In the dark when the
water is charged with phosphorescent
stuff, the raw material Of fishes and pos
sibly of other things too. hooked weak
fish becomes ball Of fire flashing fu-
riously until it is quenched in the soap
net There is no dreary waiting fol
strikes. They come quick and fast
enough to drive away all the ghosts.
few rod and reel men may still be
able to catch some bass, but their chances
are slim and their time il short. Once
more to the fishermen We fire salute!

Mr.. HILL is man whose whole thought
il absorbed in politics-a pass!onless
man who goes into no political adventure
without coldly calculating the chances
for himself. We see that some papers are
proceeding on the assumption that he
Jumped in carelessly with his socialistic
issue, without taking into consideration
the probability that the coal strike would
be over before the election and the ma
tional ownership and operation plank
of his platform would be made the more
,.psurd; but such rashness does not
enter into the composition Of Mr.. HILL
character. He knew very we'll that that
plank would remain to give him peculiar
distinction as a candidate for the Presi-
dency, whether the coal strike continued
or was settled. 1t is as much his badge
for 1904 as 10 10 1 was Mr., BRYAN's in
1890. and he would not have adopted it
without careful consideration. He must
have made up his mind that socialism
is as good a card as he can play at this
time.
MIR. CLEVELAND in his Erening Post
interview, wc observe, avoids the sub
ject. Il am very much pleased with
the deliverance Of the New York De-
mocracy on the tariff issue" he says,
but, very naturally, he ignores the social
istic deliverancc. Mr.. HILL. on tho
other hand, has taken pains to make
that deliverance prominent in a laborcd
defence of it; and thus there is a square
issue between the Democracy rs repre-
sented by one and the other of these
leaders.
1t Is an issue which cannot be evaded
in the Democratic canvass in New York.
On It that party will stand or fall at the
election next month; and that it will
appear in the next Congress il the Demo-
Gratis succeed in carrying the majority
Of the House Of Representatives. is in
evitablc.
The question Of the control Of that
House, therefore, is the most important
