 l An anniversary requiem masi
 will be celebrated at St Patrick'i
 church on Monday morning for tho
 late Mrs William White of Nortf
 Riverside street.
 William Schmidt, formerly oi
 Brooklyn, but of late regular ir Uncle Sam's army. is spending few
 days in this section. Schmidt is pleased with the life of the regular
 soldier and intends to return to hit
 position within short time.
 Il. E. Lewis. the deputy post
 office inspector, made his annual in.
 spection of the sub-station at Walk ] CTS this morning. With him was
 Assistant Postmaster John T. Boy
 Ian. Yearly an examination of the accounts is made at the main office in this city, after which all the sub- stations are visited and the accounts audited.
 -One of the biggest real estate deals transacted in Brooklyn in a long time will in all probability be completed to-day, when the Gull foile block at the corner of Bank and South Riverside streets will pass out of the hands of its present owner. It is understood that the new purchaser will be whiskey merchant, an out of town man, who is buying the property for an in vestment. Michael Guilfoile, the owner of the building, admitted this morning he had decided to dispose of the block.
 Unless the boys who are throw ing stones daily at the windows of St Patrick's church cease this prac- tice, they are likely to land in the police station. The pastor of the church. the Rev J. M. Gleeson, has been so annoyed of late because of the continual throwing of stones at the windows of the church and rec tory that he is now determined to put stop to it., The police have been notified of the nuisances going on there and have now and then stopped the boys for few days. But as soon as they ceased to keep sharp lookout on the boys the urchins would go back to their old tricks. It is not long ago that one of the plate glass windows in the rectory was struck with a big stone and damaged so badly that 1t had to be replaced, costing something like $5. Superintendent of Police Beach will probably now put a stop to the nuisance existing and the first boy caught will undoubtedly be taken to the station house. If the boys are allowed to carry on their pranks there is no telling where they will stop. They become more trou- blesome daily, notwithstanding the warning they have received.
 It is no longer plain Andrew Frederick. The genial Andrew is now disciple of Blackstone and yesterday made his debut as bar rister. Detective John Kennaugh was the cause of it all. Jack" was going to Milford to testify fin the case of Howard Teller and Harry Lang, charged with assault on Con- ductor Eugene Slason, which took place near the Naugatuck junction a few weeks ago. The boys were ar- rested In this city Thursday and the case came up in Milford yesterday. No one was on hand to appear for the boys so the judge, after scan- ming the various faces before him, appointed Mir Brodarick the boys guardian. Although Andrew was not strong on the cross-examination he was there with both feet when 1t came to making appeals. His ad. dress was masterly. Indeed, 1t was touching, and so full of appeal that the judge was touched. Although he could not allow the boys to 20 free in view of the serious charge, he would make the bond as light as possible. He then held the boys un- der bonds of $1O0. It was Broder- ick victory. Andrew was elated over the impression he had made and de- clared that he was not aware ho knew so much about jurisprudence until he really had to handle a case He may decide to take the bar ex- animation in another year.
 With six of the regular carriers sitting on the grass and very much pained because they were not al- lowed to get into the game, that az gregation known as the Letter Car riers' base ball team was lashed to the mast at Corcoran's lots yesterday afternoon, being defeated by the Brooklyn business and professional men by the score of 17 to 3. It was an awful slaughter and If the game had not been called at the end of the fifth inning the Brooklynites might have made more runs than were made in the contest in England last week, the score of which was o8 to at the end of the third in | ming. The mail carriers were licked 1 badly and enveloped deeply in the | clouds of dust that they raised while | chasing hits. Manager Rocco" Maher was disgusted and vowed he would arrange no more games, but | later agreed to persuade the Brook lynites to give the letter carriers a return contest. There were many
