The Question Being Discussed in New York City. The question of the Sunday opening of saloons has been a prominent one in New York city, and the Herald has undertaken to ascertain the will of the people by a popular vote, ballots being clipped from the Herald's news columns. Street Commissioner William 8. Andrews was formerly a member of the board of excise and has taken much interest in ex- cise matters. He has written a great deal on the subject and has made many ad- | dresses thereon. “We are living in a city which contains a population of four or five hundred thousand persons to whose comfort the use of beer with meals Is Just as necessary as the use of bread. Where some of us drink tea and coffee those persons drink beer. It is pres- ent on their dinner tables and on their supper tables, and in order to be palatable it must be fresh. Any law that may be made or any attempt that may be made to prevent those persons from sending their children, for they have no servants, to the beer saloon to get a pitcher of fresh beer for dinner supper must necessarily be inoperative.” Charles Stewart Smith, ex-president of the chamber of commerce, said: “I am in favor of legislation which will permit lager beer saloons to be open on Sundays from, say 1 o'clock in the after- noon to 11 o'clock at night.’ The laboring classes will thereby, to je extent, have the same privileges whi e richer classes now enjoy in their clu If the privilege is not extended to the poorer classes of hav- ing at least certain hours on Sunday set apart in which they can obtain lager beer, then I am in favor of closing clubs patron- {zed by those who are in better circum- stances.” The Rev. Dr. Charles H. Eaton, rector of the Churoh of the Divine Paternity, is strongly opposed to legalizing the opening of saloons for any length of time on Sun- day. of can see no necessity for allowing sa- loons to remain open during certain hours on Sunday,” he said. “ft is in the in- terest of workingmen to keep the saloons closed, instead of opening them. Sunday Is a day on which workingmen should rest after toiling hard all week, and that rest they certainly cannot obtain in saloons. ‘They can get all the beer they require on week days.” The Rev, Dr. John A. B. Wilson, pastor of the Eighteenth Street Methodist Epis- copal Churoh, takes this stand: “Shall the liquor men receive the author- ity of law for doing the very things which, in viotation of law, they have been protect- ed in by the officers of the city govern- ment? “They have paid the police for immunity in violating the law. Now shall the good government people reward them for their aid in helping to break the power of Taimn- many Halli by the damnable bribe of legaliz- ing their outrages of the Sabbath and of all good citizenship by all night openings?’ oo Use and Abuse of Toothpicks. From the Lancet. The toothpick, judiciously used, 1s of un- doubted value. Of the materials used as toothpicks the best is the quill, with the sharp point remoted, but with this, as with all other forms, care must be observed. By indiscriminate application the gums may be so irritated and injured as to cause re- cession, and thus increase the existing trouble, or inflammation of the tooth mem- brane may be caused, a most annoying condition, and one in which the still more vigorous use of the toothpick gives tempo- rary relief, only in reality to add fuel to the fire. Metal toothpicks are good because blunt pointed, but are too thick to pass be- tween teeth at all close together. Wood nesd only be mentioned to be condemned, for it is a by no means uncommon occur- rence for small fibers to become detached and jammed between the socket and tooth, leading to chronic perlostitis and even loss of the tooth if the condition ts not recog- nized. a ee Southern Raflway Securittes Abroad. ‘The Manufacturers’ Record reports that it is.able to confirm on the highest an- bpd the rumor that a large amount of the Southern Railway Company’s securities has been placed in England, including bonds, preferred stock and common stock, : HE was 4€CWHITE MAN. The Famous Shawnee Indian Chief, Blue Jacket, and His Family. Mr. H. H. Swearingen of the Treasury Department has just compiled and issued for privato circulation an interesting reg- ister of the Swearingen family, which has in many directions made some mark in American history. This publication brings out a fact that has hitherto not been well known—that the famous Shawnee Indian chief, Blue Jacket, was a white man—a member of this family. Mr. Swearingen states that his famous ancestor's name was Marmaduke, and was captured by the Indians in western Pennsylvania, whore his family was then living. He was ac- companied by a younger brother, but upon his agreeing to go with the Indians and live with them they allowed the brother to return home. His famous name was given him from the fact that he wore a blue blouse at the time of his capture. He became so popular with the Indians that at the age of twenty- five years he was made chief of his tribe. In the battle of St. Clair’s defeat Blue Jacket was one of the leaders among the Indians, and it is a curious fact tha among the killed of the white forces wi Capt. Van Swearingen, one of Blue Jac et’s own kinsmen. Two of the Swearingens, Henry of Ghio and Thomas of Virginia, were Representatives in Congress. Five were officers in the continental army. In 1755 Thomas Swearingen of Virginia de- feated George Washington for the house of burgesses, and the next year was bea! en_by Washington. The compiler himself ts not without an interesting history. After the civil war his father, who had fought for the south, came a republican, and the son followed this faith. In 1881 he was appointed as a republican to a clerkship in this city. Dur- ing his incumbency his sentiments chan and at the time of the democratic suce in 1885 he had developed into a democra Notwithstanding this fact, he was dis- missed by the new administration und re- turned to Atlanta, Ga. Three months later he received an appointment to a clerkship at a larger salary than before, through a competitive examination. When the repub- licans returned to power in 1889 his dis- missal as a democrat followed. He re- turned to Georgia, took another examina- tion, and for the third time was appointed to a clerkship. In his memoirs he states that he fully expects to be decapitated with the next change of power, and as sure- ly expects another appointment through the civil service commission. ~ HOME FROM EUROPE. Returning Travelers Like to See Their Friends at the Dock. From the New York Times. Among the crowd of persons gathered on the pler end the other morning to greet friends homeward bound on the Teutonic wag a group of fivd or six persons, every one of whom ‘earried a small American fi As the big vessel slowly swung in |.from midstream, bringing at last the faces of the passengers who leaned expectantly over her deck rail into recognizable view, these flags weré raised and waved. In the flutter of many handkerchiefs streaming to the ‘breeze they were marked objects, and as such quickly attracted the atten- tion of the friends aboard, which was the aim, evidently, of those who carried them. Until one has tried to pick out from a high deck a friend’s face in the framing -of unfamiliar bonnet or hat among a hundred upturned countenances the undertaking is not understood. Home-coming European travelers, by the way, especially appreciate the presence of friends at the dock to greet them. “When I returned a fortnight ago,” says a prosaic and most unemotional man, “it was with feverish expectancy that I scanned the as- semblage on the pler. It was night, and I feared that my friends would not be there. ‘I can scarcely bear the disappointment if they are not,’ I said to myself, and my de- light was positively childish when I caught a glimpse of my partner and an old friend standing side by side. My wife laughs yet at the Qoyish glee with which I turned to her an inted them out, and as soon as J could catch their gaze I waved and shout- ed like a schoolboy. To see a friend off ts not so necessary, but to greet a frien@ home from Europe is a Christian deed." .Mr..

Beware of couterfe! THE WORLD OF SOCIETY | Numerous Pretty Weddings at Ohurch and Home Yesterday. . nese Minister Entertained et Several Members of the Ca’ at Diuner — Personals. The marriago last night at the Huyck residence of Miss May Huyck and Mr. Frank Cornelius Bates brought together an interested gathering of their relatives and intimate friends. The drawing rooms were richly decorated with palms and chrysanthemums, and at 7:30 ‘the drawing room was filled by the company already assembled. Miss Lulie Boone played the wedding march on the organ in the hall when the bridal party entered. Mr. Wal- dron Bates of Boston and Mr, Thomas Bryan Huyck came in first, followed by Mr. Charles How Bates end Mr. Van Alstyne. The brida entered with her father, Mr. J. Van Ness: Huyck, and close to the bower was met by the groom and his best man, Mr. Samuel Bates of Boston, his cousin, ‘The ceremony was most im- pressively performed by the bride's uncle, Rey. Edward Boone, 8. J., of Loyola Col- lege, Baltimore, assisted by the bride's cousin, Rev. Edward Dyer of St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore. For the next two hours the bride and groom were kept busy receiving the good wishes of their friends, the company present at the ceremony he- ing continually augmented by new_ar- rivals. The guests were received by Mrs. Huyck, assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Juan &. Attwell, who wore her wedding gown of white moire antique. The bride never looked better than in her wedding finery. Her dress was of white moire an- tique, th narrow white satin stripes; the skirt without trimming, and the bodice draped with duchess lace. The superb diamond and sapphire bar pin worn was one of the groom's gifts, as was also the diamond star which gleamed in her hair, with the chaplet of orange blossoms, hold- ing on her veil. Her bouquet of Mites of the valley had a pendant bunch of bride's roses, and during the evening she divided up the flowers among her young friends. In the dining room the refreshment table was supplied with every dainty, arranged in the most tasteful way. The souvenir boxes cf wedding cake were stamped with the initials of the couple in silver and tied with satin ribbons. The bride’s presents nearly covered the Mbrary, where they were shown, and seemed to comprise every possible luxury in the way of jewelry and articles of household adornment. Mr. and Mrs. Bates started for their wedding jour- ney about 10 o’clock in the midst of a fusillade of rice and old slippers, the bride's traveling gown being a tailor dress of gol- den brown cheviot, with a becoming hat in the same coloring. Her wrap was an ele- | gant Persian lamb and sealskin coat. .
