"The most extraordinary thing about NewYork." said a Western visitor Tester day, " Ittha way bis crowds gather At a minute's no-tice where (her seems no material to malathem of. Hroadrray.atlAttor place. lookedquletenough at 'J o'clock yesterday. It did not showa hundred people on tha two nearest blocks,A long funeral proce'ston enme up lha street,nnd another man and myself were about torrnss when he noticed tha funeral. Ha stoppedme. 'Never cross a funeral,' said he, 'oryou'll die In a month.' I laughed, and askedlilm If he believed that, and when wa had exchanged six sentences and the funeral hadpaesod there were fifty men, women, and chitdren there listening to us. I walked downIlroa Jwny a few hundred feet, and I will swearthere wero not twenty persons on the block.I saw that tho entrance to The Old LondonW reef was open, nnd never having seen thatunsuccessful show, I stopped to Iook In. Inthreeor four minutes 1 turned to resume mywalk, nnd found I had topush my waylhrottgnseventy or eighty lookers-oi- l Ilka myself."

There Is no use In any reformer's trying toget the New York puhllo to call a woman awoman and a lady n lady. The Liberty streetferryboats have painted out the worda "ladles'cabin" and painted In, the word " women," butthat Is tho only progress the reform has madeIn ten years. It's lady, lady everywhere, andwomen there are none. 'This war, lady." thepolicemen any, even to the colored womenwith I'lothes baskets. " What can I show you,lady?" the. clerks Inqulro of all who wearskirts In the shopping district. Hurry up,lady," the elevated guards shout, alike to Stme.Murray Hill nnd blgnora Stulberrl liendlnl.Hometlmos In tho police courts ono womantells the Justices that another woman Is "nolady," but that moans nothing, for there Is nowoman so wretched but what is sura to saywhen taken tipsy through tha streets, I'm alady. I am,"

It seems that the occasional dandles who canfight are not tha only unsuspected possessorsof muscle, pluck, and science. There nre evenwomen Just like them. Last night, on a Sixthavenuo elevated railway train, a tipsy manwanted to batahundrod that Corbett wouldwhip Mitchell. Every now and then hearoae,offered his money to nit takers, and then satdown aguln, hoavlly and stupidly. At last heHung an arm out nnd disarranged tho hat of anulet. commonplace-lookin- g young woman Inthe sont behind him. Quicker than a flash shaleaned over and hit him In tho nose with herfist. "Why don't you bn a gentleman?" sheakd. Than she doubled her hand again andlet htm have It In one aye. " He a gentleman,"sha remarked. He waved a drunknn, limp,and deprecating arm at her, and she gave hima heavy blow In the mouth. "There, now,"aald she, "perhaps you'll be a gentleman."

The great and only Superintendent ByrnesIs an Interesting man to visit. Hn is nothinglike as easy to get at as tha Mayor, but he Isas comfortablo as an old shoe, once a visitor Islet Into his presence. Its has a round head, asround as Shakespeare's was. Ho has largeeyes, which he keeps closod when thoro Isnothing to took at, so that he seems to havoalanguid, contlo mannor. which ho likes andcultivates. The other officials and even theclerks and doormen, wear the uniform, butSir. llyrnos wears a speckled business suit.Thnt shows how deep Is his Interest In the

corps, for the detoctlve nn tho onlyother men except the Commissioners whowoar civilian dress.

The Superintendent spenks two languages-para- delanguage and slang. Ills parade Ian

guage In which ho addresses distinguishedcompany Is very soft and formal with thabroadest Kncltsh pronunciation of tho letter"a." When ho addresses prisoners or police-men he drops Into tho vornacular and makeshimself understood. In a mixed company hocan mix his two lingos in a wny which no onowho has heard htm Is likely to forget, for hefollows a coIIoeo professor's sentence, with aslicoof station house English, all Inone breath.ThoUEh he seems hnlf asleep at times hamlsies no movement around Mm. and nothingthat goes on In the rooms adjoining his ofllce.All the doors aro left open, anil he sits bo as tocommand them all.

He was a missionary from lovo of thework, and he came back from South Africaand the Sand wleh Islands and lectured throughSlassaehusetts at Intervals ot two or threo

ears during his long and laborious career,rte spent tha money made In these lectureamong the heathen. Many stories are attllcurrent In New England concerning his personal ruggednessand courage.

great men yesterday whan Norman K. Dike,one of Drooklyn' new Ttepubllcan Supervisors,nnd Can, Rtawsrt 1 Woodford, who was oncaa Republican Lieutenant-Governo- r, had thePrivilege ot saying complimentary things tothe members of the Civltas Club. It was thasecond pubtla meeting of tha club, which, asreaders ot Tut Sun already know, waa formedby several Ilrooklrn ladles last fall " to awakonnn Interest In matters pertaining to our mu-nicipal welfare and to fbster all movementwithin tb circle ot Its Influence which havefor their end the improvement ot any phase otcity life."

The Civltas Club now has 120 members,most ot whom ara young, and alt ot whom arapretty. Tbara were about ICO persona presentyeetotday, Including tha Invited guests, butthe only men admitted were Meter. Dike andWoodford and a colored usher, who looked su-premely proud and hnppy. The addresssware delivered In tha large double parlors onthe south side ot the hallway ot the old-fas- h

toned brick club houseatlUOJnralemonstreet,the auditors occupying folding chair and vy-ing with one another In applause wheneverthe speakers paused for encouragement.

The meeting was called to order at 3 P, St.by Stlss Elizabeth II. rack-aril-, the First ViceI'resldent. who Introduced Str. Dlkn, Hhaaid he had been regarded aa a drone In tha

municipal hive till he surprised everybody bystepping Into the political arena and becom-ing a bright eiamplt to other young men Inhis (octalset. The purposed the Civltas Clubwas to exert an Influence) upon tha best cle-ment ot Ilrooklrn manhood, and. throughthem,, to purity municipal politics. Everymember ot the club ought to praise Mr. Dike.There was great applause.

Tho new Supervisor made a good speech.Hodescrlbod to the wonderlug lot of girls. Inwords of one syllable, just whst It means to baa candidate for ottlco, howtha nomination Ismade, how the reglntratlon Is conducted, howthe vote Is csst, and whnt ths ballots of thadifferent parties look like. He explained thattho law required each man to vote alone un-less physically Incapable of depositing n bal-lot, tn which ease he was entitled to assistance,and ha made the girls laugh when hn ex-plained how this physical disability clausewas taken advantage of by the dishon-est. He explained how tha votes weracounted nnd the results announced. 1 henha took tho successful candidate Into ofllceSlayor Sohleren represented tho successfulcandidate. He told what the Slayor had to dofor a living, nnd how he selected his appointeesnnd what their duties were. Especially did hoInsist on the necessity for efllclent, trustwor-thy men In the Tax Department. He told thayoung Indies how to swindle the elty by sell-ing $40 horses tn the Street Cleaning Department for $'J4r. thereby just avoiding the SL'Mlimit at which It Is necessary to advertise forbids. In conclusion, he said he believed a mancould be a politician nnd a patriot.

tlen. Woodford paid n pretty compliment tothe ladles who wero Interested In good government, and told them that If they used e

on the voters there would le no ques-tion about electing the test man always. Hissubject was tho influence and responsibilitiesof large cities. He said he could rememberthe time when the piss took caro of the gar-bage along New York's famous llnwery.

After tho npplauso which followed the Gen-eral's speech had subsided Sllss Packard In-

troduced the President of the club. Stlss Jessieh. Dike, a sister ot tho Supervisor, who hadbeen away In the country by her physician'orders, and had not seen her friends since be-

A reportwas made to Chief Inspector Doty of the HealthDepartment yesterday, There are '.'.000 luna-tics conlln-- d In the asylum on Ward's Island.Smith had been there for ten years.

Dr. Doty has sent Inspectors up to Ward'sIsland to vaccinate the Inmates of the Insaneasylum, and has also given orders to hava thaward In which Smith was kept thoroughly dis-

infected. In speaking of the matter yesterdayDr. Doty said:

"I am at a loss to account for the appearanca ot small-po- x at tho Insane asylum. Wanever had any eases there before, and the In-

mates wore all vaccinated three months ago.There ara a great many lunatics ronllned Inthe asylum, but (hero is no occasion to bealarmed bscau.'e one caa has broken nutthere. Tha placo Is well protected against thedisease, every Inmate having been vaecluatedwithin a abort time. Prompt measures arabeing taken to prevent the disease fromspreading, and I am trying to ascertain thesource of contagion in this case."

The health authorities arv about to test thaSwedish treatment for small-po- x patients nnNorth Brother Island. This conslits In ex-posing tna patient to rays of llghtthrough colord class.

SI. Durdenu, Finance Minister, has found thewine growing Interests bitterly antagontstlo tohis proposal to tax wines according to the nlcohollo standard, and had reluctantly withdrawntha measure. The Tariff Comraltteo ot thechamber wilt show-It- s protectionist tendenclesoon by reporting In farorot a large Increaseof the grain and wlna duties. A general advance of the duties on all other foreign products will also be recommended.

Deputy Pierre Itlchard ha given notice of amotion to tax foreign laborors In Franc twenty-f-

Influence tn tha chamber,but his motion will ba received with favor by aconsiderable group nf Socialists.

In their last congress, held at Auxerra, thaSocialists resolved to organlza a system ofagitation among the feasants. Delegateswero to ha appointed to spread tho propagandaIn ths rural districts, and the best speakerswere tn preach In agricultural strongholds theadvantages nt collective ownership Thsmovement seems to havo been paralyzed bythe tndlflorence or hostility of the peasants.To the potty proprietor, Hoclnll.it doctrineabout the division of the land means that haIs to lose what little land he tills so as to beuu-ti- t

others.On Sunday a band of Socialists from Cour

tral, llelglum, started out to enlighten theagrarian proletariat In the northeast ot France.'1 hey entered the agricultural commune ofStarck singing revolutionary hymns andcheering for the Socialist leaders. They weredrlvon back quickly, however, by the poasants,who pursued them with pltchforksnnd spades.Tho Socialists Hod along the roads as last aspossible, but many wars knocked down andbadly Injured.

The parishioners say that hiscourse In monopolizing tho parochial resi-dence for his own family. Including his mothernnd tUtor. Is both Imprudent and expensive,nnd necossltatos a eeparute residence for thecurate.

The matter ot nationality enters Into thecharges largely. The accusing parishionerssay that nlnetcon out ot twenty of the parish-ioners are Irish, and that the rector, who Is aGerman, has made remarks that have offend-ed their sensibilities. He Is quoted as havingsaid, In speaking of the manner ot living ot thaIrish poasants. that tha father, mother, andchildren, and the other member of the family,tha pig, all occupied the ona bed.

HI treatment of hla curntes is referred to,and tho cases of Fathers StcEvoy. Kelly, and.Murphy are recited. In regard to tho last, thedocument says thnt Dr. narrowly escaped vmicnco ami tne unique nomrtety, ror aclergyman, of bolng burned In offlgy.

and the cako remained there, andSir. Slltchell couldn't lino It. The candlesburned as sweet Incense to llalsted, thef'in-mak- of tha Exchange. The brokersclustered around thecske, nnd, still fearful ofSir. Slltchell. had a mild pantomime, but nsthe last gong sounded they hustled In acouple of messengers with drums and ban-ners, and after that there was an uproarioustime. Thero were banners bearing the legend:

Hnlsted was called upon for a speech, nscouldn't. So Alfred de Cordova spoke for him.and told how Ulsmarek and nil grant men hadto wait until they wore 40 before they gotsense.
