POWER OF MARSHALs.
The Duties They Shall Perform in
Borough Defined.

For the benefit of those who contend
that marshals have not the authority
to act as constables and for those, in
fact, who think they have no authority
at all and that it is only a name, a
mere title given as favor to some
people, and on account more especially
of what has been said TO Justice Mason
regarding the serving of warrant by
q special marshal and also regarding
another affair when it was said that a
certain special marshal had no author
ity to arrest man, the following is
qnoted from Section 719 Honeyman S
. stPractice and Precedents;
by an act of March 10, 1889, every
marshal in borough organized under
the borough act of April 5, 1878, is
invested with all the powers and
authority of the several constables in
tnis State, in the service and execu-
tion of all writs and process, both
civil and criminal issued, or to be
issued out of any of the courts of this
State and are entitled to the same fees
for the like services.

SITE FOR CLUB HOUSE.
Ideal Place South of Ferry Slip for Land
and Water Club House.

Those interested in water sports
have wondered why Tottenville never
had yacht club There are number
of boat owners here and just at present
there are two or three handsome
yachts anchored off here in the sound.
There is an exceptionally fine loca-
tion for club house on this side OF
the sound just south of the ferry slip.
There is beautiful green lawn. with
a pretty terrace going direct to the
waters edge, A club house on this
site with short dock, which would
lead to deep water, would be an
attraction to our town. This location
is already the scene of land sports,
tennis, and similar games. Combine
the land and water sports, form a
Land and Water club, build neat
club house and it would be ideal.

PROGRESS IS SLOW.
Some People Complain that the Fire Alarm
System is Unnecessarily Delayed.

Some people are wondering why the
fire alarm system is not completed
and put in working order. 1t is said
enough time has now passed since the
work of installing the system was
started to complete two or three such
systems.
No one seems able to explain the
cause of the delay, but it is generally
believed there is hitch somewhere.
The gongs have been put in and occa-
sionally something else is done to
make people think the work is pro-
crossing, but it is altogether too slow
to suit a great many and they are in
favor of making an inquiry into the
matter They seem to think that if
there is to be an alarm system on the
island it might as we'll be put in shape
and used as long as it has been started
and people will have to pay for it.

WEATHER WAS IDEAL.
Large Crowd on Bethel Sunday School Ex.
cursion to Midland

Yesterday was great day for the
children of Bethel Sunday school. 1t
was their annual outing and the day
was spent at Midland Beach. The
weather could not have been nicer
and that the people appreciated it was
evident from the number who were
on the excursion.
The party left Tottenville at 10
o. clock over the Rapid Transit and
took trolley cars from Grant City to
the beach. The children amused
themselves in the sand, many went in
bathing while others found pleasure
in the amusements. All were tired
when it was time to start for home,
but some left reluctantly. No serious
accident marred the enjoyment of the
day which will be remembered, espec-
ially by the children. until the next
excursion time rolls around.

WOODBRIDGE TOWNSHIP.
EDWARD IN IRELAND.
Reviews Troops and Naval Brigade
In Phoenix Park.

DUBLIN, July 24-King Edward re-
viewed 15,00O troops and 5000 men of
the naval brigade in Phoenix park. The
weather was most favorable, bright
sunshine permitting the wearing of
summer costumes and the consequent
color effect When the ground was
packed by tens of thousands of specta-
tors it made by far the most brilliant
scene of the many witnessed since their
majesties' arrival in Dublin. 1t was
the largest muster of troops ever seen
at a review in Ireland. The Duke of
Connaught was in command.
1t was after midnight when the days
festivities closed. The king and queen
held a splendid court at the castle in
the famous st. Patrick's hall, which
was gorgeously decorated and illumi-
mated for the occasion. Their majes-
ties entered the hall with all the ac-
compartments of state and took their
places near the throne, which was the
center of brilliant group, including
the Duke and Duchess of Connaught
and Earl Dudley and other high state
OIlCGIS.IH 1ull unllOIIu. i mere tncy IC-
ceived the most representative body of
the Irish nobility and the Irish people
which has been seen at the castle in

Queen Alexandra wore a cream col
ored gown embroidered with gold. She
were varicolored jewels In the form of
shamPocks, and her diamond orna-
ments were set in designs of rose, this
tie and shamrock. The influence of the
sovereigns secured social union
which English statesmen had vainly
sought to attain. The Irish guards act
ed as a guard of honor, and the grand
staircase was lined with lancers. 1t
was function of regal magnifieence,
and it was not until the last name on
the list had been read out and the last
debutante had made her courtesy that
their majesties quilted the scene.
