GILROY AND THE BOSS-SHIP. Ex-Mayor Gilroy is as coy as a maiden and as skittish as a colt under the blandishmenta of the ‘Tammany Dom-ship. He bashfully denies that he has any tenderness in his heart for the “Wigwam leaderghip. But his dental is ‘accompanied by so many eelf-lauda- tions as to raise doubt to its aincer- ity. It is regarded as of a piece with tho negative of a wooed damsel who while saying “No” to her suitor per- sisted in making him acquainted with her superior housekeeping qualities, The ex-Mayor blushes behind his * wide-spread fingers when charged with Crokerish ambition, but he distances ex-President Martin in the race for harmony and leaves Purroy at the pos! ie jn his professions of reform and faa nominations. If Mr. Gilroy succeeds in winning the succession, Tammany, according to hie present professions, will secure a just, impartial, unselfish and Mberal boss at last, who will not grab everything for himself and his family circle and then .. refuse to say where he got It. Whether “nis past practices when autocrat of the Mayoralty patronage and spoils will give confidence in these professions the Tammany men who have memories can G@ecide for themselves. But will Gilroy ever get the chance? That is the question. Speaker Hamilton Fish is due to arrive from Europe to-day. His Gubernatorial oom has been locked in a safe-deposit vault during his:absence. He can't get it out now without an order of the court. AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY. ‘A week ago Miss Lucretia Clark, of Byracuse, left that city to come to New York. She is a handsome woman, bout forty years of age, very accom- plished, and was arranging to open @ fashionable finishing school for girls at Plainfield, N. J. Her brother-in-law, John Edson Sweet, is an ex-Professor in the Cornell University and a man of Miss business here was to purchase furniture for her school, and she had four thousand dollars in her possession to be used for that purpose. She has mysteriously and completely @isappeared, and up to this time not @ trace of her has been found, Acting Chief Conlin says the police have not been looking for her because they only received a despatch telling of her disappearance, without a description of her person, ani have “never been ‘asked to look for her.’ This is a singular explanation, Do the police only seek to solve a mystery, than his room and woke him up tn time to give the alarm. But even as it was, the guests only saved two thinge—their lives and their night-dresses. ‘The fire developed the fact that there was no engine in the place to put out a handful of fire and only a builders ladder to aid escape from the windows, yet fortunately no lives were lost. A man who lost or who had been robbed of $1,500, nad it returned to him while he slept. There will be a demand for soporifics among those in similar pre- dicament HAKMONY—WITH A CLUB. ‘The Democratic State Committee met at the Hoffman House yesterday and called the State Convention to meet at Syracuse on Sept. 2. The most significant feature of the meeting was the adoption of @ 1esolu- tion providing that five days’ notice of all pfimaries be given and ordering all organizationa all over the State, but particularly in New York and Kings County, to permit all Democrats to vote at the primaries, whether they techni- cally belong to the regular organization or not. Some people will think this is an indt- cation of a desire to call into the party the Democrats who have wandered from the fold. Harmony with hungry teeth. When the lamb accepts the tiger's invi- tation to dejeuner a la fourchette, the tiger generally furnishes the fourchette and the lamb the dejeuner. Go into the ‘Tammany primaries and be absorbed— that Is what that harmony resolution means. Another “harmony” movement came in the shape of @ petition from Rich- mond County asking the Committee to call an open primary for the three rival factions, with one inspector and one watcher from each. This is asking great concessions; this really means harmony.

This year it ‘was even tamer and more wishy-washy than usual. The good old lady refers in @ per- functory way to the Chinese wer and the Armenian horrors, and is glad the one ts over and hopes the others will not be renewed. But she thinks it ts expetient to put off to some future time any talk about legislation. ‘Tne most significant part of the speech perhaps is its entire silence about Ireland and Irish measures. She im very well pleased to get her beloved ‘Tories around her again, and perhaps thinks the troublesome Irish are now disposed of. But the Irish ghost is not so easily Jai, and @o the triumphant Tories and the insolent Lorda and the amicable Queen may speedily discove: Mr-Benator Washburn has a grim humor. Whe Ges-Man Addicks wrote asking what Weshburn meant by say- ing that he ought to be killed, the old Seflator wrote that he m@ant “political rather than physical punishment.” How kind for him to tell which kind he pre- ferred, WAY FOR THE WEXT SLAUGETER ! An excursion train loaded with ploasure-seekers came to grief on the West Jersey: Ratlroad last night. It was & very ordinary, commonplace occur- rence as railroad management goes nowadays—what {s technically known as a “rear-end collision.’ A large number of colored people, men, women and children started yesterday morning from Camden and interme: diate stations for Lakewood Park. The passengers were @o numerous that the train wae made up in two seotions. One started twenty minutes ahead of the othe: On the way home section No. 1 stopped at Liberty Park tation to let people off. ‘The engineer was in no hurry, Was he not twenty minutes ahead of section No, 2? But the At- lantic City fast mail train had got be. tween the two sections and came tear- ing past the Liberty Park etation, where a sharp curve of the road hid the at onary train from view. The conse- quence was the express ran clear throurgh the excursion train, cutting it in two, scattering the live coal from the fire box through the wreck and setting fire to the cara, Only two were killed, but a large number were injured, som: no doubt, fatally. It tooks like a massacre, Ordinary people will see no reason why such an accident should occur, unless the peo- ple in charge of trains were wholly ignorant of what was on the road. But if any inquiry ts made at all, a Coro- ners jury will find no one to blame, and the track will be cleared for the next slaughter.

Maud Eva Kitchen Brashe Few housewives seem to realize the conventence of keeping tor kitchen use veral stiff vegetable brushes, and signing a separate use for each. These stiff, convenient vegetable brushes are of a suitable size for many kinds of work that cannot be $0 easily accom- plished by any other means, and they fre 10 Inexpensive that a quantity may be kept for daily use. Good, stiff ones can be bought for 6 cents, or even less. ‘A small brush of this sort is almost in- dispensable in cleaning celery, as the corrugated surface of the stalks makes a thorough cleaning with the hand or a knife almost Impossible. Ice water, which adds to the crispness of the celery, may then be used, as there ts no necessity for putting the hand into tho water at all. Potatoes and all veg- etables of this sort that are to be baked should be thoroughly brushed with one ot these stiff brushes and water, until | the skins are white, clean and smooth, before putting into the oven. Feeding Baby After the Bath. “It ts such a pleasure to give baby fs bath, just after he has been well fed," said a young mother recently, “because he is so good then, and seems to enjoy the bath so thoroughly.” This is a very common mistake. The friction of the bath caused by rubbing draws the blood to the surface, and takes it from the stomach, where it is needed after having partaken of food. Digestion 1s thereby retarded, and, as @ conse- quence, irreparable injury 1s done to the body; since proper assimilation of food is of the greatest Importance to good health. Bathe the baby just before rather than just after feeding him, If he ts @ puny baby rub him well with good pure oll after the bath. Olive oll, cream oil, and cocoanut oil are each recom- mended for this purpose. This serves as a nourishment to the frail bodies, as the pores of the skin readily absorb the oll. Hammocks to Sleep I Why spend lots of money buying beds for the Summer cottage, or why sleep uncomfortably on the wretched beds supplied? Try a hammock. It is de- lghtfully comfortable, takes up little room at night, need take up none in the day, and costs very little. Besides, there aro sure to be more friends than can have beds in Summer, but if It's hammocks the little cottage can boast a hospitality as elastic as the occasion requires. On2 small room that won't hold a bed will swing three hammocks, all the heads going on one hook, the dj other ends being bestowed as the room permits. Helpful Hints.

Mock Poached Eggs. \ | A very good recipe for mock poached eggs is the following: Take as many canned apricots as you require, and, if they are not already divided, cut them. carefully into halves with a allver knife. Stew gently for ten minutes in syrup, then set aside to get cold. Have ready some blanc mange which has been poured into a large fiat dish to the thickness of about a quarter of an inch, and cut this into small rounds with » sharp cutter. Then stamp out with a rather large cutter rounds of pastry that has been rolled about a third of an inch thick. On each piece of cake place @ round of blanc. mange, and exactly in the middle of @is the half of an apricot, with the outside uppermost, the hollow from which the stone was taken being neatly filled with whipped cream, Beautifying the Arm.
