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.
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?'. 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.

The Washington dispatches saythat Ihad long, frequent and serious consultationswith him m regard to the alleged maladministrationat 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 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. This buiiiiing the flremenenter* : in order the tetter to fit-. tne biaae thatwas raginc: in tho upper portion. But the wallahad air- . been weakened by the tire, aad Bat-talion Chief McCarthy, seeing the danger to themen. ordered them to get out at onc?>. 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

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 ofthe Kouth Ferry branch, at No. I*2 West-st andlive hundred moro share in the different holidaycelebrations.
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.

The friendly circle usually knows the extent orthe bridegroom's salary and the bride's income
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. There were spoonsof all sizes and for nil purposes, forks from oysterto berry fl:ih and r.spuragus sets and knives, evento crumb knif.i and tray.

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
laThft^youn/'woman who wants to grow tall willnot eat bacon and potatoes, but will have cerealin some form. The Trench physician would say, mseveral Wheat, rye, oats, corn and barley, all ar.:rich in the phosphates needed, and his method
combines all in a kind of paste, a less exagger-
ated disclpleship. however, will serve, but cerealto abundance there muet be. Frult-the sightly
