BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

AS Manager Smith had no game
 to-day for the Brooklyn business men, the players had chance to rest.
 Miss Minette Nolan, daughter of
 MT and Mrs John Nolan of Bank street to-day received her diplomas lfrom the New Haven state normal
 school.
 The Brooklyn and Leavenworth street firemen had to lay more than 1000 feet of hose to reach the fire
 in Keeley's shed yesterday afternoon. The loss to the shack was about $500. It was almost 2 o'clock before the Connecticut company had repaired the
 damage done to it's wires.
 James Daly of Clark street is re- towering form an attack of rheuma-
 tism which played the very deuce
 with the we'll known wine clerk. It
 is the first time in years that Jim"
 has been compelled to lay off for
 few days. If he does not soon get
 the disease out of his system he in
 tends to take prolonged trip to
 Ireland.
 Although the Rev MT Gulick, the
 retired pastor of the Third Congre- gational church, made a demand of
 $500 from the executive committee last week, as far as is known he has as yet received nothing in, the form of back salary. The committee states that since he refused to accept the
 $50 which they offered him, he will be offered nothing more. It is said that MT Gulick may take steps to compel the church committee to pay him what his friends say is rightfully due him.
 It is said that some of the voters Of Town Plot are up in arms over the hiring of a teacher to succeed Miss Mary E. Kelley as principal of the Town Plot school. They claim that it would have. been much better judg- ment to select some teacher at pres ent located there and to get along the coming year with one less instructor than during the past term. They claim that the attendance at the school does no warrant the keeping of SIX teachers as in no room are there more than twenty-five pupils while in some there are only half dozen children to be instructed.
 Thomas McEvoy, for many years a prominent grocer on Railroad Hill street, has retired from business and bought himself residence on Gen. tral'avenue. Mir McEvoy has lived on Railroad Hill street on and off for the 1 past fifty-seven years, and remembers when there were very few houses in that entire district. He engaged in the grocery business when there was more money in it than there is to-day and aided by good family succeeded In making it pay. He also made some good real estate investments so that | by steady application to business in | various ways he came out ahead of 1 the game. He is a man of great per- sonal integrity and while he will be l missed in Brooklyn, his friends are saying of him, now that he is gone, i that he was an ideal neighbor and l that they hope he will live for many years to enjoy the reward of his long 1 and honest struggle for a share of | the things of this world. Mir McEyov | Is a very modest man and remarked | today that he wasn't sure but he might go back to Brooklyn some day. This is a natural feeling. Ones early | impressions are very lasting and as he spent almost his entire life in tha, part Of the town it is not at all won ferful that he should find it hard to tear himself away from it. He is bound to it by hallowed associations. It is the place where he sported as a )oy, heard the sweet melody of a mothers voice. was married and -aised his family. so that no matter where he may go he never will find a place that will seem SO much like nome to him as the spot that he knew n the years that are gone.
