STENOGRAPHERs ON FERRIES,
That's What Staten Islandern Want and
They're Going 10 Work for Il.

That's What Staten IsianderH Want and
They're Going 20 Work for II.
The Ri almond Borough Realty Associa-
ton has gone on record as faVoring the
installat in: Of girl s~tenorgaphers on the
Staten lsland municipal ferryboats.
The al association ia composed OF real estate
men ano was formed several weeks ago
to agitate the question OF a unnel between
Manhattan and Staten Island and other
improvements. II ia believed by the men,
bers that it would be OF great aid TO business
men living on the island, but having their
fic In Manhattan, IL they could have
the services Of stenoEraphers on the ferry
boats on their trips to and from their places
of bugness. They point out that much time
would be saved In this way, az during a trip
ters to a stenogrepher and they would he
the slip.
The association held a meeting at the ST.
George Hotel on Staten Island last night
and appointed a committee Of two to visit
Dock and Ferry COMMISSIONS Bensel
on Friday next and discuss the matter with
him. The committeeman are r. NJ. Springer,
a real estate broker, and William jackson,
secretary Of the association.
1t Ia thought by the members that IL also
would be u good idea to have.stenographers
In the ~ferryhouse at either end of the route.
or course the city is not expected to pay
the ~stenographera for their services to the
public, as their compensation is to come
from their patrons.

a step in the direction of putting professional
bondsmen out OF business was taken by the
Senate to-day when il passed Senator

The TamRany Senators scored a victory
in amending Assemblyman Wfnters's bill
which permitted the arrest of any sus-
picious person found lettering about public

Oliver and the other Sullivan representa-

II provides that a person unemployed who
Ia found hanging about public places shall

cHILLrEsr or GARDEN PARTIES.
Hot Tea nj q Premium and lee Cream nj n
Discount.

Yesterday, it waB announced, was the
ooldeat May ~ on record. So Tar as il
known the temperature at the garden
party held in the afternoon at Governors
Island. under the auspices Of the New
York bra nch of the Army Relief Society
was the lowest in the annals Of garden
parties.
Ii was not. however. sufficiently frigid
o cool the patriotism Of any OF the hostesses
Of the occasion. who, with chiffon wells
~sbrouding their picture hats and tied CO.
quettishly beneath their chins, and fluffy
hounces clutched convulsively. strobe gal
lantly forward ia the teeth OF the gale and
greeted the guests with every appearance
Of enthusiasm.
Gen. and Mrs. Grant held an informal
reception on the veranda OF their house,
to which the society and all the visitors
were invited. Mrs. Charles F. Roe, Mrs.
Wright p. Fdgerton and the Misses Irene,
Louise and Mary Sheridan, daughters Of
Gen. Philip Sheridan, were on the receiving
line.
The band wore overcoats. but OF course
no one at an ice cream or a flower booth
could consistently appear in anything
but a lingerie or an organdie frock. No
one did. and it was the generally expressed
opinion that every one on the committees.
looked perfectly lovely.
A TALL. slender damsel in pink said that
for her part she thought it was perfectly
horrid to nave TO stand around for hours
in the blazing sun with the thermometer
at So" Several persons who heard her
mui INJURED. Yes. indeed and shivered
surreptitious ly.
At the Japanese tea tent solid comfort
prevailed. There one could dress a. warmly
as che liked. provided she donned as an
outside garment a silk kimono deliberately
embroidered. This booth wRs apparently
patronized several times by every person
on the island. and nearly every one said IL
didn't make any difference about cream or
lemon or sugar. 40 long as the tea WAS hot.
There waS dancing In the officers club
house and a variety of drills on the arade
ground.
The most exciting event OF the afternoon,
however. was the attack on the fort.
The enemy approached from the east,
and after rapid and sustained firing by both
sides succeeded in breaking through the
defending line and scaling the outer breast
work.
Among those present were Senator War
ner Miller. Lloyd F%arragut. son OF Admiral
Farragut: er-Lieut Gov, Timothy l.. Wood
ruff. the Japanese Consul General Mr..
Uchida. Rear Admiral and Mrs. Coghlan,
Gen. and Mrs. George Wingate, Col.
and Mrs. Stephen c. Mills. Mrs. Daniel

Attacking the Phillips BnI.

Attacking the Phillips BII.
ALBANY, May Ex-senator SAKE voiced
again to-day his protest against being
limited TO 81. 900 for election expenses, as
provided in the Phillips bill.
While the Phillips bill is intended to
prevent a recurrence of the events Of last
fab by another political angel, it appears
that the bill hits Senator Sake harder than
almost any one else. When the Phillips
bill came up on the order OF final passage
In the Senate to-day Senator SAKE said
that il he could not be permitted to spend
more than 5000 he couldn't be elected,
and he thought his Republican colleagues
should help him out. .
u can't carry my district If | am limited
To such an amount as provided in the bill, ="
he said. .
Il wish the Senator weuld explain, said
Senator Fuller Dem. Kings). tell the
other Senators what there is in il TO repre-
sent a district if il costs more than the
salary to he elected. What object has the
Senator in serving a district that costs
50 much to carry Let us know about
this thing?'
Senator SAKE didn't explain.
Senator McCarren reiterated his dis
approval Of candidates eNpendinE any
money, and pleaded hat the bill he. so
amended that il would Toe a felony for a
candidate to expend a cent for election
purposes. His views were not entertained
by the others, and the bill passed 20 to 4,
Senators Travis and SAKE (Rep.D and Grady
and McNanus Dem voting against IL.
The Senate amended the bill 30 that 1t APP
piled TO nominations as well as to elections,
and the Assembly will have 20 pass the bill
again before it goes TO the Governor.

s While COnaldefing Change Of Venue.

Vhaho
~LovINosroN. Va, May 2s.-The Grand
Jury to-day returned a true bill against
Judge W. G. Loving for the murder Of
Theodore Estes.
The Grand Jury was In session less I an
an hour and heard only three witnesses.
the two negro laborers who saw the shoot
ing and DR.. Tunstall. who examined young
Estes's body.
After some brief argument on the ques-
ton of bail that matter was postponed and
the reading Of afidavits On the motion for
a change OF venue was begun.
The first OF these was by Judge Loving
himself. Ii deals with the high standing
and wide popularity OF Sheriff Estes, the
father Of the dead man. his uncle and Mr..
Kidd, clerk OF the court. The question
had not been disposed OF when court ad-
journed, but ii is believed the change will
be allowed.
Judge Barksdale allowed Loving's re-
lease under bail Of 10000. double the
amount under which he accused WAS ~
leased at Oakridee on April IS. JuSAe
Horsley Of L%ynchburg signed the bond.
