The opening of a dance hall in close
proximity to one of the numerous
churches of Harlem has caused an
outbreak of Indignation among the in
habitants of that district of homes
and churches. So far the efforts of
the indignant church members Of
Harlem, to have the license of the hall
revoked, have been unsuccessful, but
the citizens are determined to con-
tinue the fight, which however, will
probably hopeless, as the proprietor Of
the hall has been careful to comply
with every requirement of the laws.
Strange to say the hall, which has been
described by some of the opponents as
a menace to the community, a nuisance
and a danger to property rights, does
flOurishing business.

Of pneumonia cases in this city and the
prevalence of measles, influenza and
grippe have stirred the health au-
thorities to unusual energy and an eff
fort will be made to enforce at least
some of the sanitary ordinances which,
like the anticipating ordinance have
scarcely been more than a dead letter
ever since they were promulgated. 1t
would seem that unheated cars are
responsible for nearly as much sick

public places and that it would be in

vention in favor of Mayor McClellan's
candidacy. The indications of a boom
for Mcclellan are quite strong and the
activity displayed by the mayor and
the municipal government is evidently
intended to arouse public sentiment in
favor of Mcclellan. 1t is expected
that Tammany will eventually succeed
in having the state convention to elect
four delegates-at-la large to the national
convention, held in this city. where it
will be easy for Tammany to exert
a dominating influence.

cord is such that no man, whether
democrat or republican, can attack

says:
THE musioalIprogram was notable
feature. This year it was decided 70
have no vocal numbers, and the whole
program was rendered by the Naval
Academy band, the director of which,
Prof. Charles A. Zimmerman, is a
past exalted ruler Of the order. 1t is
an exoellently trained organization
of artists, and rendered the various
numbers on the program in a mastery
manner"
The Baltimore American also praises
the band in the following graceful
manner:
1.-THE Naval Academy band, under
the direction of Prof. Charles A.
Zimmerman, rendered their portion of
the program with especial melody and
materially added to the solemnity of
the occasion by the rendition of ap-
propriate selections from the great
music masters.

Directly due to the slippery condi-

fell this morning is the loss to Barnard
Lynch. of his lower left leg. That
member was run over and severed
above the ankle by the H. 80 train on

Lynch, who is we'll known carpen-
ter, was at the train to bid goodbye to
number of friends and remained
aboard until the train was in motion.
He then tried to get off and was in
such 3 hurry that he had no oppor-
tunity of choosing a landing place.
lie slipped on the ICY platform and
fell outward onto the near rail. Both
trucks of the rear car passed over his
left leg before the train could be
brought to standstill.
He was picked up by Messrs. Frank
Buhn, j. w. Thompson and George
Brauvias and other bystanders and
carried to wagon. He was quickly
removed to the Emergency Hospital,
where the injured limb was ampu-
tated. 1t is not thought that his in
jury will result fatally owing TO the
care given him Immediately upon ar
rival at the hospital As a result Of
the accident the train was delayed for
some time.
