All efforts by residents to stop Sunday baseball were fruitless, and yesterday a number of men. headed by the Rev. George W. Goebel. pastor of the Reformed Church, called on Sheriff William V. Molloy and asked him to break tin ball pitying at Bhnsford on Sundays.

The Elmsford ball grounds are directly opposite the- Greenburg Reformed Church, and the church peo- ple have been greatly Incensed for three weeks. Baseball playing has been indulged in while th*» Sunday school was in session. Many of the large Sunday school boys have abandoned the Sunday school for baseball. SHERIFF'S POSSE BREAKS UP GAME, THE NEW FF.ONTENAC IX THE THOUSAND I3Lr- ANDS AND ITS ATTRACTIONS. Frontenac, N. V. f June 15 (Special).— With all of the. rival attractions of other resorts, which have increased In number with each passing year, the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence have easily maintained their place In the affections of all who have once had a glimpse of their many beauties and experienced the attractions of this delightful region. The old Indian name for this region was the Garden of the Great Soirlt, and few localities bo well deserve their titles as this, for it Is a veritable fairyland of dainty wooded islands, sur- rounded by a maze of beautiful winding channels of sparkling water, which abound in numerous va- rieties of gamy fish, and no more delightful region for boating or fishing, for pleasant excursions and dainty picnics or forest rambles was ever created. It is a Venice of nature, where the graceful skiff is the universal means of travel and the rockbound and leafy canals are the streets. One of the most conveniently located of the Thou- sand Islands, both for enjoying the manifold plea» ures of the region and for easy access by the trav- eller. is Round Island, and on its crest stands the New Frontenac, one of the handsomest and most comfortable of American summer resorts. Here every modern appointment is found in its most complete development, and the construction and arrangement of the house are of the latest char- acter. All of its public rooms are unusually large and spacious. its great dining room. in a wing by itself, and affording magnificent views of the river from its great windowed walls, being characteristic of the house. Elevators, electric lights and private baths are here, of course, and every room in the house has an extensive view of the river. A large annex, supplied with all of the conveniences of the main building, stands near by. and offers attrac- tions for the more quietly inclined. Surrounding the house are extensive and handsome grounds, and an unusually fine golf course has been laid 'out. starting Immediately in front of the hotel. Other recreations are provided In billiards, bowling and tennis, besides the resources of the river ana sur- rounding islands. The Frontenac Is under the able management of General M. C. Wentworth, who Is also the pro- prietor of Wentworth Hall, at Jackson, N. H.. and manager of the Lakewood during the winter sea- son, and his conection is sufficient Indication of the character of the patronH^e of this house. Round Island is only about a mile from Clayton, which Is reached by through trains, both from the East and West, over the New-Y^rk Central road, while all steamers plying on the St. Lawrence stop at the hotel dock. A ST. LA^YRFXCE FAIRTLAXD. The Holland-America Line steamer Rotteriim. from Rotterdam and Boulogne, which arriv. yesterday, passed tho British steamer Mary. Saturday, June I*s. in latitude 40 4?'. longitude 67 3 51', which reported that she had on board the crew of the schooner Nelly, of St. John's. N. F. The steamer's report was btief. but stated that the Nelly was lost at sea and her crew bad been rse- cued bar the Maryland. The Nelly was a small three masted schooner of IS3 tons burden. She was built at T3erwlek. Scot- land. In 1876, ar.d wa? owned by S Bfarsh & Sons, of St. John's. N. F. Tne Nelly sailed fn.m Barbados on May 25 for home. The Maryland is bound to Philadelphia from London. PTEAiIER MARYLAND REPORTS THK DU TO THE HOTTKRDAM. The examinations for entrance to Columbia Col- lege, Barnard College and the Schools of Applied Science begin to-day. The examinations for men will be held in the Columbia gymnasium for the first time. Heretofore It has been the custom to conduct them In the various lectures rooms. The examinations for women will take place in the Barnard College theatre. These are the first ex- aminations to be held under the now requirements in which Latin Is rot prescribed. A full account of these requirements has already appeared In The Tribune. The number of candidates for admission Is larger th»;« ever before. At Barr.r.rd there are ICO appli- cants for admission as compare.3 with IGQ last year. In view of the increasing number of out of town students coming to Columbia it has been decided to hold examinations at the following places: Paris, Franco: Burlington. Vt. : Concord. N. H.: Southboro. Mass.; Pomfret Centre. Conn.: Franklin. N. T.; Sing Sing, N. T.; Philadelphia: Morrlstown. N. .7.; Pittsburg, Perm. ; Washington, D. C; Scotts- vllle, V;i. : Charleston. 8. C: Atlanta. Ga.: LottfaH ville. Ky. : Cleveland, Ohio: St. Louis. Mo.: Chicago. 111.: Duluth, Minn : Belroont, CaJ.; Helena, Mont.: Trenton, N. J., and Lakeville, Conn. -- - An annual incident of the entrance examinations not down on the programme that always proves en- tertaining is the mild yet humiliating course In hazing which the sub freshmen are subjected to. The present sophomore?, so recently escaped from the bondage or freshmandom, are keenly live to their privileges as regards the embarrassment and annoyance that they may i: diet upon the despised freshmen. '.' is customary to put the incoming men through a course of "sprouts" In the presence of the Barnard Coliese girls as their irritation is greater when they are in sight of the fair sex. « SCHOONER KELLY LOST; CREW SAVED. THE FIRST TO BE HELD UNDER THE NEW REQUIREMENTS. COLUMBIA EXTRANCE EXAMIXATIOXB. NEW LETLAID STEAMSHIP IX PORT. The new Leyland Line steamer Caledonian ar- rived here yesterday from.

Harry Krohn, of this city, yesterday made an effort to swim from Yonkers to New-York, a dis- tance of fourteen miles. He started at the railroad pier. Yonkers. and ram about seven miles, when he was seized with cramps nd compelled to desist in his attempt. He ascribed his failure to the great coldness of the water. He expects to try again on July 4. If he should succeed in covering the dis- tance then he intends to make aa attempt to swim from the Battery to Coney Island. DID NOT VISIT THE BARGE OFFICE—FENIAN EX» CONVICTS WANT TO SEE THE SIGHTS. "Isee by one of the morning newspapers." said Assistant Commissioner Edward S. McSweeney. of the Immigration service, yesterday, "that Solicitor O'ConneH. of the Treasury Department, was In New-York most of last week, and stayed at the Holland House. The Washington dispatches say that I had long, frequent and serious consultations with him m regard to the alleged maladministration at the immigration station at this port. "I can say truly that Idi'l not see Solicitor O'Connell once last week. He was not at the Barge Office, and Commissioner Fltchle tells me that he did not see him last week or at any time within several weeks." Friends of the Fenian ex-convicts, "Skin to* Goat" Fitzharris and Mallet, have requested per- mission of Commissioner Fitchie to allow the mx- eluded men to drive around the city and see the. sights h- fore their deportation "It is not usual to allow excluded immigrants to leave Ellis Island or the clarge Office in junketing trips around the city," sail Commissioner Fitchie. "and I do not s^e why any particular favors should be extended to these immigrants any more than to excluded immigrants from Italy, Germany, France. Russia or any other country. However, I never cross a bridge till I come to It." SOLICITOR O'COMfELL XOT HERE. The Ward Line steamer Orizaba, from Havana and Mexican ports, was held because the ship's barber, who had stolen ashore at Yen Cruz, de- veloped yellow fever, an 1 was sent ashore to the hospital at Havana, The room occupied by the barber on board of the Orizaba was partially dis- infected at Havana and sealed up. On arrival here Dr. Doty had the place thoroughly disinfect- ed. Thirty-two of the passengers were sent to Hoffman Island for the customary detention of five days for observation.. The British steamer Parana, from ports on the River Platte, was held because bubonic plague has been prevalent near the ports where the steamer loaded. The Norwegian steamer Lovstakken was held because she loaded at Tien-Tsin. Hong Kong and other ports where bubonic plague has existed for some time. The British steamer Accomac came from Alex- andria, Egypt, an,l brought a bill of health from tha United States Consul at that port, which said that two cases of bubonic plague had been found at that place on May 11, about a week before the Accomac sailed. In addition to bis unusual call on rhe services of the dlsinfectors. the regular list of arrivals was large. About sixty steerage passengers of the HajnAn^ff-Ai::^r'.L'an Line steamer Pretoria, who have Been' Retained at Hoffman Isl- and for the last two weeks, were examined, re- leased and transferred to the Barge Office. Im- migrant.* to the number of 2.353 were inspected. Of these th« Trojan Prince brought !.>4S from Naples. La Champagne 4CO from Havre, the Thlngvalla 194 from Christiania. and the Rotterdam 657 from Rot- terdam and Bo,ulogn«. : »'£ -*• STEAMERS FROM POSTS INFECTED WITH BO* BOXIC PLAGUE HELD. Health Officer Doty and his force had a busy day at Quarantine yesterday, every man and all of the boats of the Department having been employed constantly. Four steamers from infected ports were detained for disinfection. A BUST DIT AT QCARAXTIXE. FLOWER HOSPITAL AND THE 810 QAM TANKS OPPOSITE THREATENED FOR A TIME. Robert Bock, a musician, while passing through Flrst-ave. on his way to his home, In East Eighty- ninth-st.. at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, discovered smoke and flames coming from the upper windows of the buildings at Nos. 1.103 and 1.110 Flrst-ave.. at Sixty-first-st. These two build:ag3 were three stories in height, and belonged to a row of build- ings running from No. 1.1C3 to No. 1.112. all being the property of Frederic:-! liuse. owner of the East River Kindling Wood and Packing Box Company, with lumber yards in til rear. These bul!ding3 were all three stories In height, with the exception of No. 1,112, which had only two stories. By the: time the firemen had xt to work the blaze was burning fiercely in* the lumber . rd In the rear and in the buildings themselves. There was little hope of savins the buildings, which were filled with lr.flarr.rr.ab'e material, and the attention of the firemen was devoted largely to preventing the flames from spreading to the large tenement houses in the immediate neighborhood and to the three bit, gas tanks wo blocks away, at Slxty- thirtl-st. A brisk northeast wind v. ,n blowing at the tiii and the sparks from the ftro were driven long distances. On several occasions the roofs of i . rby tenement houses tool; fire, but the flames wera quickly extinguished before serious damage was done. Nearly all of th»* occupants cf these houses left the'r homes in fright. . The Flower Hospital is directly opposite the ;-r»3 tanks which wer* threatened, anil the authorities these prepared to leave the buildingr with their patients at a mo- ment's notice, provided the occasion demanded it. Despite the strong wind the firemen I on had the flames under crntrol. although at first the blase s-f-emed to threaten disaster to that section of the town. Si\ firemen umi? r the command of Captain Frrel. of Eiißine Company No. s. had a narrow escape from tlea.tn. They were workingla the lum- ber yard, and iiad gradually subdued the fiarrea in th^ir path until they had reached the burning: building at No. 1.106. This buiiiiing the flremen enter* : in order the tetter to fit-. tne biaae that was raginc: in tho upper portion. But the walla had air- . been weakened by the tire, aad Bat- talion Chief McCarthy, seeing the danger to the men. ordered them to get out at onc?>. They did, so. and in less than a minute the walls collapsed with a eras 1 Had they remained scarcely a mo- ment longer they would probably have lost their lives. The buildings were occupied by J. D. Brave. as c. feed store; William Knabe. machinist: Riener Bros., typefounders, and Frederick Buse, proprietor of the lumbar yard. The total damage ia estimated at $20,000. A fire three years ago destroyed the build- ings en the same site. BLAZE IN A LUMBER YARD. | To Xssp fha Cook Cool and save money, put a Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stove in the kitchen.

Pelham Bay Park, Saturday. They picked daisies, hulled ber- ries, made sandwiches and waited upon the luncheon guests who had come to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Little Mothers' Aid Asso- ciation. Three larger girls, who were also pressed Into service, belonged to the "X. L. M." Club, the members of which have outgrown their little motherhood and are taming their living, in work- shops end stores. This club, declared Mrs. Ella Connell Smith, president of the club, is the living exponent of what the association has done for children. Mrs. Smith was one of the party which was de- layed on Saturday by the accident on the suburban \u25a0branch of the New-Haven and Hartford Railroad at whimmv. station, and ali of the party except her escaped with a severe shaking up. but her head was thrown so violently against the back of the seat that It received a sharp blow, and she fainted. A party of college girls on their way to a \u25a0OK ground In Wretch* rendered their assist- ance, and she recovered, although a good sized lump was left as a trophy of the disaster. Th« long wagon which carries forty little girls on excursion days to and from. Holiday House to the station met the guests at Bartow. Holiday House, with its broad hail and loft) rooms, was in *rala dress. Daisies and Black-eyed Susans were everywhere, banks of peonies decorated the mantles and branches and boughs filled the corners. EARNED THEIR PRETTY CLOTHES. The Little Mothers wore pretty cotton dresses, •white aprons and caps, and bore their responsibili- ties with becoming grace. The pretty garments were all earned by the little girls through helping in the work of the Happy Day House, at No. 304 East Twenty-nrst-st. and by promptness and tidi- ness at sewing school. AJter the guests had rested on the broad, sightly •veranda and strolled about the shady lawns, chil- cren and "grow-;, ups" repaired to the barn, where The Idle Players' Club" from Brooklyn gave two farces that threw the little mothers' entirely off their aijrnity and caused them to forget for a time The realities of life. The ballroom was opened for dancing In the even- Ing, and muFic was provided by the Columbia Uni- versity Banjo Club. Holiday House opened for Its first guests this reason on .May 1C with a day excursion of forty little ~-:r.s. Two such excursions will visit the nouse twice every week until the close of the sea- f on : Children w ho can be spared from homo will i>e kept from one to two weeks. A little girl who came from a wretched home in one of the most crowded tenements and paw for the first time wnat real home life might mean wrote to her ?L« i *" hile on on^of these visits: "We have two eneets on our belt and one on each table in a Dig room where we eat, and Sowers in the middle In a big gjfcss cup." JOY IN THE FIELDS. Swings and hammocks, tennis and croquet are provided for the little guests under the shade of the stately forest trees; daisies and clover grow knee deep In the meadows around, and bathing In the Sound, that sparkles and gleams below the house, adds the last drop to their brimming cup of happiness." "My lady let me off to-d.ay," demurely replied a Uttte. pale-faced woman of eleven, when asked how Ehe couj4 leave her three >^ren for whom she is emplojed nurse. This little girl took lessons In l£?,i Co .t I:g L clas 2 unti! ' because of her superior eklll. that branch of the housework also fell to £ £ ut I her 1 f «n>Ployer'a husband surprised hH wife by ejaculating one day not long ago: "I SHi B £U. wh ?' > i ou eh °ul<3n't cook as well as that child. Why don t you go around to the house and £?? M lf : ss ?U s : \ So a big - reai mother has been added to the class A number of useful household articles all of which had been made by the children ' were dis- played for sale. About fifteen hundred children are enrolled in the various classes of Happy Day House and of the Kouth Ferry branch, at No. I*2 West-st and live hundred moro share in the different holiday celebrations. The work, which has ashum^.i such large propor- tions, grew out of the tender thought of Mrs J. 11. Johnston, president of the association, for the over- burdened little girls whom t-he used to see'from her windows In Stuyvesnnt Square, or while "she was giving airings in the Park to her own little boy. hhe began it by dropping cookies and picture cards from tier window to little *,'irls who \u25a0 were vainly trying to quiet crying children. And toward her window mar.y a bf-seechlng Fiance was oast by the perplexed Little Mothers. Finally, ten years ago. Mr?. Johnston took the iirst party, comprising nin.j little tfrls. to lMham Hay Park for an outing. Since that time ii,2« happy <lays have been cele- brated by a? many Little Mothers.

There are few New-York dwellings that have not a dark room on one or more of the floors, some- times aired from a shaft and sometimes not. Into this class of room the Turkish decorations, with couches, pillows, wall coverings and the sunburst ceiling, have been transferred with fine effect, and the always desirable "one more room" Is the re- sult. Rooms that hnve heretofore been used as trunk rooms and camphor closets are thus trans- formed Into dens of comfort and retreat, or Into a smoking room for the male members of the family. In one of the New-York houses in which a woman makes a business of renting the rooms— and every room is of value In dollars and cents— this !dfa of creating a room is cleverly applied. She ar- tistically decorated a small dark room that opens Into the kitchen, so that It now servos admirably for a dining room for her little family of three. Tho walls and celling were covered with an Inex- pensive cotton fabric in < >riemal colors. Side lierhts with red shades and the candelabra on tho table lighted the room sufficiently, and an elec- tric fan promoted circulation. She thus became the possessor of an extra room, and a pleasant as well as profitable one It was, ton. TEREK FEMININE TYPES. "There are three types 6'? the 'eternal feminine' that may claim beauty of form/ says an artist. "The practical man pr^fcTi the Junoesque, grent, superbly developed creatures who look physically capable of succeeding Zenobla worthily. The Venus type Is tall and graceful, although not really slen- der, and appeals to the artistic temperament. "The child of Psyche is generally petite, fragile and flowerllke In appearance. She has an appealing girlishness even to old age and will be always petted and spoiled. The poetic temperament "la peculiarly susceptible to the charm of the Psyche type." JVHAT TO DO WITH THE DARK ROOM. The Turkish room hap found Its level In a praise- worthy manner. The time seema to have passed when the home makes sacrifices to accommodate It, when the daylight has to be shut out In order to make the Oriental colors, Its dull lanterns and shrouded lights of the cosey corner appear to best effect. Tho dark Inside rooms of houses are now rendered habitable by this pretty and artistic, scheme of decoration. When tha Sister ran up to find the Rock, a circle of smiling faces under the large awning greeted her for the first time in years. Something of tha country air or the Peach breezes seemed really to have been captured In the city, higher than cV.ibi could reach, ar.d tha caged patients were at. last more free and cheen than even open car rides could nuke them In th<« noise of walled streets. "Oh. Sister, It is delightful! We thank you so much fur this!" were some of the exclamations to be i.card. In tones of genuine fervor. Just as tears were beginning to get the better of the Sister, a laugh went up, for out of the cupola door ap- peared a large tray of glasses containing grape Juice and Ice, and milk for those who preferred it, carried by the faithful young woman who has lont; been hired from the neighborhood to save the time and strength of the Sisters for other work. The- prettiest flowers?, contributed by a florist at the lowest possible price, with rich earth to grow them In, were planted in various boxes around the pavilion and on Its balustrade by three enthusiastic girl? who come to the Home regularly every week to help sew, roll bandages, sort letters and, bills and anything else that they are allowed to do. It was like building a nest to see them fly up with plants, over and over agnin, to the roof. And then they produced a copious shower from pitchers to insure the prompt beauty of the daisies and gera- niums. The yard is also neat and pretty now with com- fortable seats, a patch of grass, flowers on old tree Btumps, and a couple of beds of bloom. Only a moment can be given by tho busy nurses to con- templation of these generous gifts from the public, but the women for whom they are sought and In- tended fill long hours with gratitude, and many words of pleasure are heard. When the little pavilion on the roof was finished It happened to bo fine. I lue skied weather, warm and yet breezy, and the word went out about 3 o'clock In the afternoon that the roof was ready for Its visitors. An easy Btalrca.se had been pro- vided, and Boon there was no languid patient to be seen in her accustomed corner, except several boa- ridden women, who were really happier to doze In quiet, shaded i>edfi.

A plan carried out at one of the June weddings was eminently sensible. A dozen or more friends of the young couple put their heads and purses together and bought a com- plete set of small table silver. There were spoons of all sizes and for nil purposes, forks from oyster to berry fl:ih and r.spuragus sets and knives, even to crumb knif.i and tray. Everything was of ster- ling quality and goal design, and that fortuivue couple ha"s silver enough to last until the silver wedding, ami not a duplicate in the collection.

Perhaps it is the posing for the draw- ing or photographing that makes her look so weary, for certainly the young woman of to-day is too fuil of vitality to be bored, as a rule. This is by the v. ay, however. The point to be discussed is: How can one become the girl of fashionable physique? An authority says that the splendid physique of women to-day Is due largely to the attention that has been given In schools to calisthenics for the last twenty years, and to the increase in the ap- plication of hygienic principles to home cookery. The girl who is not fashionably tall may apply the suggestion herein contained, and take heart of grace, for her case is not hopeless. A French physician makes a specialty of treating youths who are too short to be accepted for military service. In a month or two they have gained in height sufficiently to reach the required standard and even to exceed it. The method Is a combination of gym- nastics and food, the former largely of the parallel bar order, and the latter selected for its effect on the composition of the bones. Any woman can apply the principles to a certain extent, with a strong probability of gaining at least an inch or two In a few months. The parallel bars are not often possible in one's home, but there are exercises that any one may take that have a similar effect. Begin the day by standing erect before dressing and taking about a dozen long, deep and slow breaths, being careful -not to rnise the shoulders. Then, standing erect, with chest well thrown out, raise the arms, keeping the elbows rigid, until the fingers meet above the head. Lower the arms slowly, still keeping the elbow.. stiff, and repeat ten or twelve times Go through the same exercise, but bring the hands in front of the body. Repeat, making an effort to touch fin- gers behind the body, always remembering to keep the elbows stiff. At first you are extremely likely not '\u25a0 succeed, but. as in most other cases, If you try. try &;;ain, you will accomplish it in All these exercises should be gone through ten times or a dozen, not fewer than the former or more than the latter, and all the movements should be made slowly and deliberately. Next try the bending forward with knees rigid to* touch the floor with your nnger tips. It is' bet- ter not in try this moro than •'•\u25a0' or three times at Jlfst Increasing the number gradually', until In a week you pea I the movement ten times, In a few weeks or less you will find it an easy matter to touch the floor. Finally, rise slowly on the toes (Unimportant point to be regarded Is the purity of* the atmosphere while taking the exercises. In reasonably warm weather the window, naturally, will be open, but even in cold weather It should be thrown wide ojien for at least rive minutes before -I, IjC for the exercises. The bath follows immediately, to be completed, whether sponge or ilunge, warm or cold, by a lTr"«k rubbing with a Turkish towel.

Frult-the sightly A JFLOURISHING ORGANIZATION WITH MUCH GOOD WORK TO ITS CREDIT. The Newark Working Girls' Club is one that is really useful and progressive, and in its seven yfars of existence has accomplished much valuable work. It had during the winter weekly classes In dressmaking, millinery, embroidery, cooking, danc- ing, physical culture and grammHr, while in Janu- ary. February, March and Aprillectureß on various subjects were given by competent speakers. En- tertainments are given at intervals, and the club- rooms at No. 17 Centre-st.. Newark, N. J., are open during the summer for Boclal meetings and use of the library. The club hns 120 active and enthusiastic mera- with Miss Eleanor Jenkinson as presl- dor.t. The objects are practical helpfulness and I idaJ employment, although the social side is regarded as of more Importance. Any girl over fourteen years of age may Join, but as v rule the members are of mature years. The club be- longs to the New-Jersey State Federation, and also to the Ntw-Tork Association of Working Girls' Societies, which allows It the advantages of the Mutual Benefit Insurance Fund and the Vacation - It la self-supporting- end self-managing. ;ind the treasury la kept In good condition by the entertainments.

The Mu- tual Benefit is for uae in ca-s^ of Illness or death. A member of the club by paying 15 cents a month can draw in case of illness $3 a week for fix weeks, and in rase of death $20; by paying 25 cents a month she can draw $3 a week for six weeks and SfiO In rase of death, and by paying 4-"> cents she can draw JS a week for fix weeks and JSO !n case of death.

SHERIFF'S POSSE BREAKS UP GAME,

THE NEW FF.ONTENAC IX THE THOUSAND I3Lr-

ANDS AND ITS ATTRACTIONS.

Frontenac, N. V.f June 15 (Special).— With all ofthe. rival attractions of other resorts, which haveincreased In number with each passing year, the

Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence have easilymaintained their place In the affections of all whohave once had a glimpse of their many beautiesand experienced the attractions of this delightfulregion. The old Indian name for this region wasthe Garden of the Great Soirlt, and few localitiesbo well deserve their titles as this, for it Is averitable fairyland of dainty wooded islands, sur-rounded by a maze of beautiful winding channelsof sparkling water, which abound in numerous va-rieties of gamy fish, and no more delightful regionfor boating or fishing, for pleasant excursions anddainty picnics or forest rambles was ever created.It is a Venice of nature, where the graceful skiffis the universal means of travel and the rockboundand leafy canals are the streets.

One of the most conveniently located of the Thou-sand Islands, both for enjoying the manifold plea»ures of the region and for easy access by the trav-eller. is Round Island, and on its crest stands theNew Frontenac, one of the handsomest and mostcomfortable of American summer resorts. Hereevery modern appointment is found in its mostcomplete development, and the construction andarrangement of the house are of the latest char-acter. All of its public rooms are unusually largeand spacious. its great dining room. in a wing byitself, and affording magnificent views of the riverfrom its great windowed walls, being characteristicof the house. Elevators, electric lights and privatebaths are here, of course, and every room in thehouse has an extensive view of the river. A largeannex, supplied with allof the conveniences of themain building, stands near by. and offers attrac-tions for the more quietly inclined. Surroundingthe house are extensive and handsome grounds, andan unusually fine golf course has been laid 'out.starting Immediately in front of the hotel. Otherrecreations are provided In billiards, bowling andtennis, besides the resources of the river ana sur-rounding islands.

The Frontenac Is under the able management ofGeneral M. C. Wentworth, who Is also the pro-prietor of Wentworth Hall, at Jackson, N. H.. andmanager of the Lakewood during the winter sea-son, and his conection is sufficient Indication of thecharacter of the patronH^e of this house. RoundIsland is only about a mile from Clayton, which Isreached by through trains, both from the East andWest, over the New-Y^rk Central road, while allsteamers plying on the St. Lawrence stop at thehotel dock.

The Holland-America Line steamer Rotteriim.from Rotterdam and Boulogne, which arriv.yesterday, passed tho British steamer Mary.Saturday, June I*s. in latitude 40 4?'. longitude673 51', which reported that she had on board the

crew of the schooner Nelly, of St. John's. N. F.The steamer's report was btief. but stated that theNelly was lost at sea and her crew bad been rse-cued bar the Maryland.

The Nelly was a small three masted schooner ofIS3 tons burden. She was built at T3erwlek. Scot-land. In 1876, ar.d wa? owned by S Bfarsh & Sons, ofSt. John's. N. F. Tne Nelly sailed fn.m Barbadoson May 25 for home. The Maryland is bound toPhiladelphia from London.

PTEAiIER MARYLAND REPORTS THK DU

TO THE HOTTKRDAM.

The examinations for entrance to Columbia Col-lege, Barnard College and the Schools of AppliedScience begin to-day. The examinations for menwill be held in the Columbia gymnasium for thefirst time. Heretofore It has been the custom toconduct them In the various lectures rooms. Theexaminations for women will take place in theBarnard College theatre. These are the first ex-aminations to be held under the now requirementsin which Latin Is rot prescribed. A full accountof these requirements has already appeared In TheTribune.

The number of candidates for admission Is largerth»;« ever before. At Barr.r.rd there are ICO appli-cants for admission as compare.3 with IGQ last year.

In view of the increasing number of out of townstudents coming to Columbia it has been decided tohold examinations at the following places:

Paris, Franco: Burlington. Vt.:Concord. N. H.:Southboro. Mass.; Pomfret Centre. Conn.: Franklin.N. T.; Sing Sing, N. T.; Philadelphia: Morrlstown.N. .7.; Pittsburg, Perm. ;Washington, D. C; Scotts-vllle, V;i.:Charleston. 8. C: Atlanta. Ga.: LottfaHville. Ky.:Cleveland, Ohio: St. Louis. Mo.: Chicago.111.: Duluth, Minn : Belroont, CaJ.; Helena, Mont.:Trenton, N. J., and Lakeville, Conn.-- -

An annual incident of the entrance examinationsnot down on the programme that always proves en-tertaining is the mild yet humiliating course Inhazing which the sub freshmen are subjected to.The present sophomore?, so recently escaped fromthe bondage or freshmandom, are keenly live totheir privileges as regards the embarrassment andannoyance that they may i:diet upon the despisedfreshmen. '.' is customary to put the incomingmen through a course of "sprouts" In the presenceof the Barnard Coliese girls as their irritation isgreater when they are in sight of the fair sex.

O'Connell once last week. He was not at theBarge Office, and Commissioner Fltchle tells methat he did not see him last week or at any timewithin several weeks."

Friends of the Fenian ex-convicts, "Skin to*Goat" Fitzharris and Mallet, have requested per-mission of Commissioner Fitchie to allow the mx-eluded men to drive around the city and see the.sights h- fore their deportation

"Itis not usual to allow excluded immigrants toleave Ellis Island or the clarge Office in junketingtrips around the city," sail Commissioner Fitchie."andIdo not s^e why any particular favors shouldbe extended to these immigrants any more than toexcluded immigrants from Italy, Germany, France.Russia or any other country. However, Inevercross a bridge tillIcome to It."

TANKS OPPOSITE THREATENED

FOR A TIME.

Robert Bock, a musician, while passing throughFlrst-ave. on his way to his home, In East Eighty-ninth-st.. at 2 o'clock yesterday morning, discoveredsmoke and flames coming from the upper windowsof the buildings at Nos. 1.103 and 1.110 Flrst-ave.. atSixty-first-st. These two build:ag3 were threestories in height, and belonged to a row of build-ings running from No. 1.1C3 to No. 1.112. all beingthe property of Frederic:-! liuse. owner of the EastRiver Kindling Wood and Packing Box Company,with lumber yards in til rear. These bul!ding3 wereall three stories In height, with the exception ofNo. 1,112, which had only two stories.

By the: time the firemen had xt to work theblaze was burning fiercely in* the lumber . rd Inthe rear and in the buildings themselves. Therewas little hope of savins the buildings, which werefilled with lr.flarr.rr.ab'e material, and the attentionof the firemen was devoted largely to preventingthe flames from spreading to the large tenementhouses in the immediate neighborhood and to thethree bit, gas tanks wo blocks away, at Slxty-thirtl-st. A brisk northeast wind v.,n blowing atthe tiii and the sparks from the ftro were drivenlong distances. On several occasions the roofs ofi • . rby tenement houses tool; fire, but the flameswera quickly extinguished before serious damagewas done. Nearly all of th»* occupants cf thesehouses left the'r homes in fright.. The FlowerHospital is directly opposite the ;-r»3 tanks whichwer* threatened, anil the authorities these preparedto leave the buildingr with their patients at a mo-ment's notice, provided the occasion demanded it.

Despite the strong wind the firemen Ion had theflames under crntrol. although at first the blases-f-emed to threaten disaster to that section of thetown. Si\ firemen umi? r the command of CaptainFrrel. of Eiißine Company No. s. had a narrowescape from tlea.tn. They were workingla the lum-ber yard, and iiad gradually subdued the fiarrea inth^ir path until they had reached the burning:building at No. 1.106.

They did,so. and in less than a minute the walls collapsedwith a eras 1 Had they remained scarcely a mo-ment longer they would probably have lost theirlives.

The buildings were occupied by J. D. Brave. as c.feed store; William Knabe. machinist: Riener Bros.,typefounders, and Frederick Buse, proprietor ofthe lumbar yard. The total damage ia estimated at$20,000. A fire three years ago destroyed the build-ings en the same site.

TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE LITTLE

MOTHERS* AID ASSOCIATION AT

HOLIDAY HOUSE.

Itwas working cay for the, Little Mothers of thecooking- classes at Holiday House. Pelham BayPark, Saturday. They picked daisies, hulled ber-ries, made sandwiches and waited upon theluncheon guests who had come to celebrate thetenth anniversary of the Little Mothers' Aid Asso-ciation. Three larger girls, who were also pressedInto service, belonged to the "X. L.M." Club, themembers of which have outgrown their littlemotherhood and are taming their living,in work-shops end stores. This club, declared Mrs. EllaConnell Smith, president of the club, is the livingexponent of what the association has done forchildren.

Mrs. Smith was one of the party which was de-layed on Saturday by the accident on the suburban\u25a0branch of the New-Haven and Hartford Railroadat whimmv. station, and ali of the party excepther escaped with a severe shaking up. but herhead was thrown so violently against the back ofthe seat that It received a sharp blow, and shefainted. A party of college girls on their way to a\u25a0OK ground In Wretch* rendered their assist-ance, and she recovered, although a good sizedlump was left as a trophy of the disaster.

Th« long wagon which carries forty little girlson excursion days to and from. Holiday House tothe station met the guests at Bartow. HolidayHouse, with its broad hail and loft) rooms, was in*rala dress. Daisies and Black-eyed Susans wereeverywhere, banks of peonies decorated the mantlesand branches and boughs filled the corners.

EARNED THEIR PRETTY CLOTHES.The Little Mothers wore pretty cotton dresses,

•white aprons and caps, and bore their responsibili-ties with becoming grace. The pretty garmentswere all earned by the little girls through helpingin the work of the Happy Day House, at No. 304East Twenty-nrst-st. and by promptness and tidi-ness at sewing school.

AJter the guests had rested on the broad, sightly•veranda and strolled about the shady lawns, chil-cren and "grow-;, ups" repaired to the barn, whereThe Idle Players' Club" from Brooklyn gave two

farces that threw the little mothers' entirely offtheir aijrnity and caused them to forget for a timeThe realities of life.

The ballroom was opened for dancing In the even-Ing, and muFic was provided by the Columbia Uni-versity Banjo Club.Holiday House opened for Its first guests thisreason on .May 1C with a day excursion of fortylittle ~-:r.s. Two such excursions will visit thenouse twice every week until the close of the sea-fon: Children who can be spared from homo willi>e kept from one to two weeks. A little girl whocame from a wretched home in one of the mostcrowded tenements and paw for the first timewnat real home life might mean wrote to her?L« i

*"hile on on^of these visits: "We havetwo eneets on our belt and one on each table in aDig room where we eat, and Sowers in the middleIn a big gjfcss cup."

JOY IN THE FIELDS.Swings and hammocks, tennis and croquet are

provided for the little guests under the shade ofthe stately forest trees; daisies and clover growknee deep In the meadows around, and bathing Inthe Sound, that sparkles and gleams below thehouse, adds the last drop to their brimming cup ofhappiness."

"My lady let me off to-d.ay," demurely replied aUttte. pale-faced woman of eleven, when asked howEhe couj4 leave her three >^ren for whom she isemplojed a« nurse. This little girl took lessons Inl£?,iCo.t I:gL clas2 unti!' because of her superioreklll. that branch of the housework also fell to

The work, which has ashum^.i such large propor-tions, grew out of the tender thought of Mrs J. 11.Johnston, president of the association, for the over-burdened little girls whom t-he used to see'from herwindows In Stuyvesnnt Square, or while "she wasgiving airings in the Park to her own little boy.hhe began it by dropping cookies and picture cardsfrom tier window to little *,'irls who

THE TRIBUNE PATTERN.

There are few New-York dwellings that have nota dark room on one or more of the floors, some-times aired from a shaft and sometimes not. Intothis class of room the Turkish decorations, withcouches, pillows, wall coverings and the sunburstceiling, have been transferred with fine effect, andthe always desirable "one more room" Is the re-sult. Rooms that hnve heretofore been used astrunk rooms and camphor closets are thus trans-formed Into dens of comfort and retreat, or Into asmoking room for the male members of the family.

Inone of the New-York houses in which a womanmakes a business of renting the rooms— and everyroom is of value In dollars and cents— this !dfa ofcreating a room is cleverly applied. She ar-tistically decorated a small dark room that opensInto the kitchen, so that It now servos admirablyfor a dining room for her little family of three.Tho walls and celling were covered with an Inex-pensive cotton fabric in < >riemal colors. Sidelierhts with red shades and the candelabra on thotable lighted the room sufficiently, and an elec-tric fan promoted circulation. She thus became thepossessor of an extra room, and a pleasant as wellas profitable one It was, ton.

TEREK FEMININE TYPES."There are three types 6'? the 'eternal feminine'

that may claim beauty of form/ says an artist."The practical man pr^fcTi the Junoesque, grent,superbly developed creatures who look physicallycapable of succeeding Zenobla worthily. The Venustype Is tall and graceful, although not really slen-der, and appeals to the artistic temperament.

"The child of Psyche is generally petite, fragileand flowerllke In appearance. She has an appealinggirlishness even to old age and will be alwayspetted and spoiled. The poetic temperament "lapeculiarly susceptible to the charm of the Psychetype."

JVHAT TO DO WITH THE DARK ROOM.The Turkish room hap found Its level In a praise-

worthy manner. The time seema to have passedwhen the home makes sacrifices to accommodateIt, when the daylight has to be shut out In orderto make the Oriental colors, Its dull lanterns andshrouded lights of the cosey corner appear to besteffect. Tho dark Inside rooms of houses are nowrendered habitable by this pretty and artistic,

scheme of decoration.

When tha Sister ran up to find the Rock, a circleof smiling faces under the large awning greetedher for the first time in years. Something of thacountry air or the Peach breezes seemed really tohave been captured In the city, higher than cV.ibicould reach, ar.d tha caged patients were at. lastmore free and cheen than even open car ridescould nuke them In th<« noise of walled streets.

"Oh. Sister, It is delightful! We thank you somuch fur this!" were some of the exclamations tobe i.card. In tones of genuine fervor. Just as tearswere beginning to get the better of the Sister, alaugh went up, for out of the cupola door ap-peared a large tray of glasses containing grapeJuice and Ice, and milk for those who preferred it,carried by the faithful young woman who has lont;been hired from the neighborhood to save the timeand strength of the Sisters for other work.

The- prettiest flowers?, contributed by a florist atthe lowest possible price, with rich earth to growthem In, were planted in various boxes around thepavilion and on Its balustrade by three enthusiasticgirl? who come to the Home regularly every weekto help sew, roll bandages, sort letters and, billsand anything else that they are allowed to do. Itwas like building a nest to see them fly up withplants, over and over agnin, to the roof. And thenthey produced a copious shower from pitchers toinsure the prompt beauty of the daisies and gera-niums.

The yard is also neat and pretty now with com-fortable seats, a patch of grass, flowers on old treeBtumps, and a couple of beds of bloom. Only amoment can be given by tho busy nurses to con-templation of these generous gifts from the public,but the women for whom they are sought and In-tended fill long hours with gratitude, and manywords of pleasure are heard.

When the little pavilion on the roof was finishedIt happened to bo fine. Ilue skied weather, warmand yet breezy, and the word went out about 3o'clock In the afternoon that the roof was readyfor Its visitors. An easy Btalrca.se had been pro-

vided, and Boon there was no languid patient to beseen in her accustomed corner, except several boa-ridden women, who were really happier to doze Inquiet, shaded i>edfi.

with approximate correctness and would show wis-dom and affection better by selecting articles of"beautiful utility" in cases where the salary lanot large and the income has been derived froma not rich papa. A plan carried out at one of theJune weddings was eminently sensible. A dozenor more friends of the young couple put theirheads and purses together and bought a com-plete set of small table silver.

The "fashion" girlof current Illustration Is talland svelte and generally stunning, but why, oh,why, is she Invariably bored to the last degree inexpression? Perhaps it is the posing for the draw-ing or photographing that makes her look soweary, for certainly the young woman of to-dayis too fuil of vitality to be bored, as a rule.

This is by the v. ay, however. The point to bediscussed is: How can one become the girl offashionable physique?

An authority says that the splendid physique ofwomen to-day Is due largely to the attention thathas been given In schools to calisthenics for thelast twenty years, and to the increase in the ap-plication of hygienic principles to home cookery.The girl who is not fashionably tall may apply thesuggestion herein contained, and take heart ofgrace, for her case is not hopeless. A Frenchphysician makes a specialty of treating youths whoare too short to be accepted for military service.In a month or two they have gained in heightsufficiently to reach the required standard and evento exceed it. The method Is a combination of gym-

nastics and food, the former largely of the parallelbar order, and the latter selected for its effect onthe composition of the bones. Any woman canapply the principles to a certain extent, with astrong probability of gaining at least an inch ortwo In a few months.

The parallel bars are not often possible in one'shome, but there are exercises that any one maytake that have a similar effect. Begin the day bystanding erect before dressing and taking about adozen long, deep and slow breaths, being careful -not

to rnise the shoulders. Then, standing erect, withchest well thrown out, raise the arms, keeping theelbows rigid, until the fingers meet above the head.Lower the arms slowly, still keeping the elbow..stiff, and repeat ten or twelve times Go through

the same exercise, but bring the hands in front of

the body. Repeat, making an effort to touch fin-gers behind the body, always remembering tokeep the elbows stiff. At first you are extremelylikelynot '\u25a0 succeed, but. as in most other cases,

If you try. try &;;ain, you will accomplish it in

All these exercises should be gone through ten

times or a dozen, not fewer than the former ormore than the latter, and all the movements shouldbe made slowly and deliberately.

Next try the bending forward with knees rigidto* touch the floor with your nnger tips. It is' bet-ter not in try this moro than •'•\u25a0' or three timesat Jlfst Increasing the number gradually', until In aweek you pea I the movement ten times, In afew weeks or less you will find it an easy matter

to touch the floor. Finally, rise slowly on the toes

(Unimportant point to be regarded Is the purityof* the atmosphere while taking the exercises. Inreasonably warm weather the window, naturally,will be open, but even in cold weather It should bethrown wide ojien for at least rive minutes before-I,IjC for the exercises.

The bath follows immediately, to be completed,whether sponge or ilunge, warm or cold, by alTr"«k rubbing with a Turkish towel. Then dress"riVi go to breakfast with an appetite befitting v
