MR, GILROY’S RETURN, He and His Family Arrive on the American Liner Paris. Much Improved in Health and Averse to Talking Politics. Gays Creker's Turf Ventures Abroad are Bafisfactory. ‘Among the prominent passengers on the American line steamship Paris, which arrived this morning, were ex-Mayor Thomas F. Gilroy, Mrs. Gilroy, the Misses Virginia and Breslin Gilroy and Master Gilroy, who have been spending Several months abroad. ‘The ex-Mayor looked the picture of health, and had evidently been greatly Denefited by his European trip. He sald as much to a reporter in @ brief chat Just before leaving the ship. Mrs. Gil- foy and her children aiso appeared in ex- eelient health and spirits and joined Mr. Gliroy in expressing their satisfaction at once more being in New York, de- spite the pleasures of the foreign re- sorts they had just abandoned. Mr. Gilroy presided at the usual con- cert given aboari the Paris Thursday evening for the benefit of the Seamen's Orphanages at Staten Island and Southampton. The concert was a de- @ided success and netted 1% sterlin Mr. Gilroy was scen at his residence, 4 West One Hundred and Twenty-first street, by an “Evening World" reporter @ few minutes after he had reached home. Asked about ‘ts trip to Europe, he @aid: “We have travelled pretty well a:] ever the Continent and visited most of the principal points of interest, besides many out-of-the-way places. We all en- Joye the trip very much and feel much better than when we left New York. “I have not pald any attention to local affairs for such a long time that 1 am absolutely unable to talk about them. I am in the position almost of a @tranger and must wait until I renew my acquaintance with them before dis- cussing them.” “Then you intend to return to political work “As to that I cannot sa; @x-Mayor, thoughtfully. He looked as if politics had not lost all its charm for him, despite the fact that hhe pleaded ignorance concerning local affairs. Concerning the rehabilitation of Tam- many Hall upon strictly Croker line @x-Mayor Gilroy pleaded profound igno- Fance, but in regard to the false report that he had been indicted by the Grand Jury soon after his departure for Europe, he manifested moro interest and greater information, “Yes, I read of that story,” he said, “and I consider the apology or retrac- tion made because of its publication a most tardy ene.” The ex-Mayor sald he had seen Mr. Croker in England, and thought that the latter's turf ventures were proving satis- factory to the ex-boss and his partner, Mr. Dwyer. ‘When asked if Mr, Croker had told him the time of his probable return to New York and his future part in the city politics, the ex-Mayor replied most em- pha.tcally: “He did not.’ replied the es SCHOEPFLIN BILL FAULTY. At Present It Doesn't Apply to New York and Brooklyn. The Schoepfiin bill, which lately passed the Legislature, by making legal the forming of loan corporations to lend money at low interest, intended to pre- vent usury, has a flaw that may do away with much of its usefulness. The law 1s made effective only tn counties where the population exceeds 201,000 and in less than 6,00. By this Jause the law is made inoperative in New York and Brooklyn, the two largest ities in the State, where most usury is carried cn, Many rominent New ‘orkers are trying to have the law amended, GOOD GOVERNMENT NOTES. ‘The annual meeting of Good Government Club © was held Wednesday evening at the club- ocms, Fifty-ninth street and Eighth avenue, The oMicers and trustees elected for the coming year are: President, Frank H.

Lauor isa lady, Be kind to vourselt: tal Peattavint, White Viaduy Ne Ys ¢ te Keeley is ws His Beef Trust Advance, “The Werld,” He Declares, Set th Ball Rolling. Philip D. Armour has written a pri- vate letter to John Taylor, of Trenton, on the beef question, which he has Kindly permitted Mr. Taylor to give to the newspapers, Mr, Armour denies that there ie a Beef Trust, and de- hounces those who agitate the people into discontent, by showing them that it Is not the scarcity of the product, bu: he combination of the magnates, that has forced the prices of beef up, #0 that it 1s @ luxury to be enjoyed only by the -d0 people. Phil Armour bitterly denounces “The World" for the stand taken tn this m ter and for showing up the Beef Trust. ‘The millionaire packer gives a few facts nd figures that are Interesting, as they , if they show anything, that the “Big 'Three” have it in thelr power to ‘corner” the beef market completely. Armour says: “It ts perfectly astonishing that this craze 1s so widespread, and that there are so many bellevers of it. ‘The New York World’ set the ball rolling.” say to you, with all sincerity, that Armour & Co. dld not make any money in the beef business in 1844, and up to the present, the year 18% ‘has proven equally bad. We are not, doing one- half our usual business. There seems to be w boycott against beef, and this craze has hurt the trade beyond ex- Pression, “There never has been any under- standing, directly or Indirectly, between Swift, Morris and Armour in buying their ‘cattle or in selling thelr beef. SUll, retail meat dealers in New York are unable to explain why It ts that, with an advance of only 1 to 11-2 cents 2 pound in the price of cattle on the hoof, they are mulcted for three to five cent8 on dressed beef, and the ecattle- raisers of Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois and the far West are curious to know why they get only a cent or a cent and a half more for thelr cattle than last year, while beef 1s costing the consumer from three to ten cents more a pound, rding to the ¢ m Mr, Armour’s statement, it may ho deduced that the e are taking the advice of "The Evening Word” to “stop eating beef till the magnates come ‘ork dealers corroborate this statement. ‘They complain that there has been an immense falling off bect trade, and those who deal beef—and there are scores of them in New York-—are being sorely pressed. Mutton, poultry, fish and eggs are cheap and nourishing, and the peo- ve are rebuking the beef magnates by cating these foods instead of beef. sets \ UP GOES THE PRICE OF SHOES. p the Cost of mnly in The Leather Pushes Hides. The United States Leather Company, which 18 a $120,000,000 trust, announces another advanve in the prices for sole leather from 8) to 33 cents a pound. ‘This usually sells for 20 cents a pound. ‘There have been similar advances on other kinds of leather. This makes a total advance of 40 per cent. in the price of leather within a week. There was an increase of 25 per cent. on Tuesday. At this ratio the person who wears $3 shoes wiil have to pay 4.2 for the next pair, while $4 shoes will cost $5.75, until the Leather Trust takes its fingers off the throat of the pubile. The advances tn leather are attributed, of course, to the scarcity of hides, be- cause of the scarcity of cattle, but the Beef Trust assures the public that the prices of hides have not advanced, and that this 1s why dressed beef has been pushed up to prohibitive price: Shoo manufacturers have agents in the West and South soliciting orders for the Fall trade. To all, word has been sent of an advance of 35 per cent. in prices. ‘The result has been disheartening to the je, a3 salesmen are reporting it is Impotsivle to sell goods at the new It is said in the leather ewamp, Gold 1 neighboring streets, that several of w York factories will be forced to shut down, unless there is a decline shortly in thé prices of material, The forced advance is raising new op- position to the Trust, however, The frust heretofore has ‘completely con- ‘olied the supply, which comes from iuenos Ayres and’ Montevideo, but the big prices here are tempting European supply centres, and they are already making shipments to America, It Is not believed the Leather Trust can keep up the “corner” very long. When it breaks, the retailer who has bought a long stock will be a sufferer, zg COTTON MARKET DULL.
