Stray Topics From
Little Old New York

New York, April l7x-The citizens of
New York are enjoying the rather pc
culiar spectacle of a bitter and
yenomous scrap between Police Mag
istrate corrigan and Mayor Gaynor
concerning the conduct and efficiency
OF the city's police department. Mayor
Gaynor was not at first a great adj
mirer Of the municipal police depart
ment. and during the early part of his
administration caused many violent
shake-ups in the force. But he has
evidently become reconciled with the
conditions in the department and has
become its warmest friend land most
gallant champion. The attacks of
Magistrate Corrigan upon the police
department. and especially the "men
higher up" have caused considerable
stir in official circles. The general
public is not much interested in such
matters beyond the mild excitement
which is offered by the controversy
between the officials. But it has been
noticed that. Notwithstanding official
denials Of the truth Of Mr.. corrigan's
statements' and statistics, the violators
of the Sunday and liquor laws and the
ladies of easy virtue infesting the
Tenderloin district and other parts of
Gotham have become great deal less
bold and confident lately.
Another one Of the old churches of
New York has been closed for good.
After 122 years OF existence the
Seventh Street Methodist church,
known in It's early days as the Two
Mile Stone" church, and when Peter
Cooper was It's Sunday School super
intendent as the "Bowery Village
Church." has been closed, not 10 be
opened again. in the Civil war years,
when the Rev. DR. James Floy and the
Rev. w. Pitman Corbett !. were its
pastors. the congregation was one of
the largest In the city, but during the
last twenty-five years the membership
diminished TO such an extent that II
was considered advisable to abandon
the church and consolidate the dwind-
ling congregation with that OF the
Hedding church in East Seventeenth
street. The old church building has
been sold and will henceforth be used
as Greek Catholic church.
Some time ago the announcement
was made that the Hoffman house,
that famous hosiery on Broadway and
Twenty-fifth street, would be closed
permanently during the first week OF
April. For more than. generation
the Hoffman house has enjoyed ma
tional reputation as one of the mosi
famous hotels IN the country. Its
fame did not rest so much upon the
fact that for more than half century
the hotel was the fayorite stopping
place OF many Of the most distin-
guished visitors from foreign coun-
tries. members u the nobility. singers
musicians. artists, etc. but in a much
greater measure upon the fact that
during all these years the Hoffman
house has been the most famous
stamping ground Of democratic poll
ticians. Some time ago the house
went into the hands OF a receiver and
1t was he who ordered the house
closed. The guests. many OF whom
had lived in the house from twenty to
forty years. we're disconsolaie and
with deep regret moved to other
