We are progressing. The sainte have @ecided now to prevent Coney Island visitors from enjoying their gla beer by the sad sea waves on « Sunday, and yesterday an effort was made to gecure a “dry day” at that once happy holiday resort. The “‘holier-than-thou"” cranks of Brooklyn did it. ‘The police were re- minded of the provisions of the code and @ demand was mado on them to prevent ail Nquor and beer selling on the island. (Of course they had to obey, and did their best to enforce the confinement of all thirst-relievers to “soft” drinks. It was observable that several persons winked the other eye as they dipped their noses into the “soft drinks,” and the aforeraid Noses did not.take on any “paler, sicklier hue” after several applications to the “got” receptacles. But the principle is at work, and like the employment of sick women in New York to beg a side-door drink and then cause an arrest for Sunday-law viola- tion, it Is doing its best to make New York and its eurroundings contemptible fn the eyes of all people of common sense. = John Harsen Rhoades is mentioned by somebody for City Chamberiain.

Patrick Conlin, on Truck No. 14, at One Hundred and ‘Twenty-Mfth street and Lexington ave- nue, was on his way home to his Sunday dinner with his wife and young family yesterday, when he heard the familiar clang of the gong and saw the powerful horses of the truck come tearing down the street towards him. An alarm of fire had suddenly come in, and the truck started from the house. Conlin thought no more of his dinner and his home, Duty called him and he was ready. He waited in the middle of the road, and as the truck sped by he attempted to catch hold and swing him- self aboard, But the poor fellow was thrown under the hind wheels, which ran over him, crushing the bones of his right hip. As his comrades raised him tenderly he called for his wife, and then became unconscious. He never re- covered consciousness, and died in the Harlem Hospital last night. Conlin was thirty-seven years old, and was a brave and faithful fireman. Burely such men deserve liberal treat- ment from the people to whose protec- tion their lives are devoted and In whose wervice they are too often sacrificed.

We hear a great deal about heroes and read a lot about chivalry, but there is heroism and there {8 chivalry, too, that never gets into print, and that is grand and noble and worthy of cclebra- tion in song and perpetuation in brass as anything the types or the lyre of bards have praised and preserved. ‘The old man Alvin O, Buck, who has Just died from Injuries received a month ‘ago in defending a woman from a brute of @ husband, was imbued with the proper manly spirit.

It dragged distressingly. An axe is needed. Chunks must be chopped from the bur- leeque, In fact, if one-half of it were sacrificed it would be quite long enough. The principal features of ‘The Merry World” are a burlesque of “Mme. Sans- Gene,” a skit introducing the comic operas of the season, a burlesque of “Trilby"—extremely well done—and a dash of tragely in the shape of ‘An- thony and Cleopatra.” In the “Trilby”’ episode it was Miss Amelia Summerville who particularly distinguished herself.
