DE LICU0R|'S REQUEST
Wants tho Cit Officials to Move the
 Gas Plant Out In the County.

Dr De Liguori called at the health office this morning and modestly sug- gested that steps be taken to move the gas house plant few miles into the country. adding that If this was not done Brooklyn would have to go. Why" said the doctor, apparently full of righteous indignation, half the people over there came near choking to death last night. The fumes of the gas came down the river and then spread to the houses where people were sleeping with their win dows up and came near smothering them. I have called attention to the nuisance before, but nothing has been done to abate 1t. Is it because Brook lyn Is made up almost entirely of working people? l can't say about that, but do feel quite sure that 1t wouldn't be tolerated long in any other part of the town. It is hard enough to sleep these nights and keep your windows up, but that is out of the question over there unless people want to run the risk of losing their lives.''
 The doctor said he didn't like to find fault with the press, but he couldn't help saying that he noticed great disinclination on the part of the papers to combat anything that has large interests back of 1t. He had a notion that if this was some insignificant institution the authori- ties wouldn't hesitate about taking action against it in the interest of public health and the people would give them strong backing. He said the matter is now up to the board of health and that he and others who feel aggrieved hope they will move in the matter as soon as possible.

 The Horrigan family of Bank street is spending the week at Wood mont.
 Miss Margaret Devine of Bank street has returned after vacation spent in Woodbury.
 Walter Meehan of Bank street has returned home after a week s vacation spent at the shore.
 -"Sol" Wheeler of the Brooklyn engine house is on his nine days va cation. He Is spending 1t in Maine.
 MT and Mrs Hoadley of Alder street have gone to Watch Hill where they will remain for. four weeks.
 MT Lachance of North Leonard street has returned home after spend- ing month on tour through Cam ada.
 Joseph Hodge of North Leonard street, who broke his arm about a week ago, says that the injured members is improving rapidly.

 The friends of Hogan Clark will have the laugh on him when he re- ceives the lemon sandwiches sent 10 him at Camp Cole by some of his friends in Booklyn.
 MT and Mrs John Lockwood of Springfield, who have been visiting Mir and Mrs Joseph Gabriel of I.a- fayette street the past two weeks, have returned home.
 -Hoseman Leary of No 3 house is still confined to his home as the result of being overcome with smoke while fighting the fire at the Platt Mill company on Tuesday morning. Leary is in a very weakened condi- tion, but there is no serious results expected. Leary was, and is now. a good fire fighter. fearing nothing and getting into line the moment he ar rives at a conflagration. The loss of such a man as he is would be one which the department would feel very much.
 The people of Waterville may talk about the .crematory in that vi- cinity and the stench arising from the same. but If they ever had to en- dure what the residents of Brooklyn had to last evening they would make such a holler that 1t could be heard in Bridgeport. Last night the odor came from the gas house where the tar wells were being clean ed. It was the worst that the people of Brooklyn have experienced in years and they hope that it will be a long time before it comes to their nosxils again. The Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee took this matter up at one of their meetings, but it seems nothing was done in regard to the same.
 We fully realize that the smoker Of 5c cigsrs Is as particular in his seiec- ton as the man wha spends twice or three times as much and we endeavor to give him all the enjoyment his mon- ey can buy. If you want real enjoy ment buy your cigars here. All prices from 5c to 25c. A. c. Walker. 5JG Bank street.

HELENE IRWIN'S DEBUT.

Another bail that illumines the post
holiday season is the coming out OF
Helene Irwin. 1t was generally be-
lieved that the Irwins would not re-
turn to San Francisco at all this win
ter, but when they got as near home
as New York, they could not stand the
separation from their best-beloved city.
The stately stone house of the Irwins
has been put into thorough repair, and
Mrs Irwin will introduce her lovely
daughter at big ball, which will be
given shortly after Christmas. Helene
Irwin is a beautiful girl, and will easi-
ly carry off the honors as the prettiest
debutante of the year. She has already
had some social experience. having
been present at several functions last
year, although not yet formally pre-
sented. She has also been a recent
guest at some of the smartest New
York and Philadelphia affairs, so the
crude angles of the debutante have al
ready been sandpapered into social
curves.
The sudden death of Mrs. Stuart
Dunbar has been a fearful shock to her
family and friends. Mrs. Dunbar was
still a bride. her marriage to the son
Of the prominent dentist having taken
place less than year ago. The mar
riage followed on the heels of her
broken enga cement with Prentiss Gray
son of the Oakla I'd capitalist. Gene
We've Dowsett (Mrs. Dunbar) was a
fearless swimmer, and last Year she
saved young Gray's life at a summer
resort. But she over-calculated her en-
durance. and brought on her death by
ix-i,,r f1v. int 10
icy waters of the bay. The shock was
too much for her heart, which had be-
come athletic from over-exercise.
Her husband and her sister. Mrs Fred
knight, are inconsolable at the sudden
and cruel taking away of this charm
ing and lovable young woman.-News

HAD DREAMS
ABOUT GAULT
Police Officers Think
Driver May Be
Alive.

If dreams go by contraries. then
Charley Gault a former driver OF the
police patrol wagon, is really dead, but
two members of the police force, who
have dreamed that Charley is living,
are inclined to believe that the report
OF his death is untrue.
Charley Gault was one of the most
daring of the police patrol wagon driv-
ers. He had a habit of speeding up
the horses on important runs and
rounding corners in way to raise the
hair of the occupants of the wagon,
yet he never had an accident. He
steered by street cars and vehicles,
close shaves nearly all of them, but
never a collision.
Some time ago Gault resigned and
went to the Coast. He was in chicago
at one time and expected to go to
work there. Next he was heard Of in
California, and finally a report reach
ed Honolulu that he had committed
suicide in San Francisco. Coast papers
told also of the suicide of Charles
Gault," but it has never been known
definitely that he was Charles Gault or
Honolulu
Patrol Wagon Driver Scully and Re-
ce,ving Clerk McKinnon have both had
dreams about Gault during the past
week in which Gault appeared before
them as living. To one of them--in the
dream-Gault said he was not dead,
but living.
Both officers are strongly of the
opinion that Gault is not dead.

HOT SHOT FOR HOSPITALS.
Coroner Says Transfer of Patients Is
"DOWn1ght Murder"

Coroner Julius Hamburger, addressing the AIbe-
marie Association, at No. q Second avenue, yester-
day afternoon. denounced the transfer OF sick
patients from other hospitals TO Bellevue. He said
in part:
The bill which 1 drafted and which Senator John
c. Fitzgerald introduced at Albany. making il a

transferred from hospital TO another should

other in Hudson Street Hospital who died within

This is the most remarkable. phenomenal. unpTe-

Thousands Of lives are lost which possibly could

SHEPPARD IN AMATEUR.
Eronerated of Charge of Profession
dlisn1-May Go to athens.

Melvin W. Sheppard. of the rish-American Ath-
letic Club. who charged with professionalism,
was exonerated yesterday and returned to full
amateur standing at a meeting of the registration
committee of the Amateur Athletic Union. at the
Wyandot Club. No 232 East 5sth street.
The committee announced its decision in the fol-
lowing resolution:
That as the evidence produced on both sides in
the matter of the investigation Of the charges
against Melvin W. Sheppard before the registration
committee is deemed satisfactory the COM
mittee for the purpose of disnissing sustaining
the charges. and there being no present prospects
OF procuring more satisfactory testimony and proof,
the committee proceed no further at present and
drop the charges. at the same time reserving the
right TO renew the present charges and investigate
its motion.
Sheppard is the holder of the worlds record for
the one-mile run. indoors. and it is possible that
he will go TO Athens tomorrow with the American
team which will compete in the Olympic games
next month.
Sheppard charged with competing in the
games OF the Caledonian Club. at Maspeth Park
on Labor Day, 1904 under the name of Alvin Smith
The registration committee held several meetings
which witnesses testified that Sheppard
the man who competed under this name while
others asserted that he not the man. On the
whole the evidence was mass of contradiction.
