Grant, since the birthday of the eoldler-stateaman oomes oa Sunday this year. The most pretention celebration, perhaps, erlll be held -In Albany, the home of the Unconditional Republican Club, which claims to be the oldest organised political dab In the country- It was formed In 186tiln the first campaign of Qeneral Grant for the presidency and takes Its name from the demand made by General Grant on ^ General Robert E. Lee for "vncondl- , tlonal surrender." A number of prominent Republicans left here to Drauon tonight. A father unique celebration even for New Tork will be* the spring fee- , tlral of the Socialist Sunday Schools of the city tomorrow afternoon at Carnegie Hall. About i.000 children f will take part, and a feature of the t usogram wlfL be a playlet entitled entitled "Flags of All Nations." There will also be a Key Day song . by a chorus of 600 children. . A number bfilnglng societies will participate, apd there will be songs in German, Finnish, Lettish, Bohemlanyand Hungarian, as well aa In English. J The Socialist Sunday schools were organized three yearo ago. They are nonsectarian and aim to avoid dogmatic. teaching in any doctrine. The stir crested by the police graft scandal was not much greater than that which lias been ssoated in the ^ bT ih? inH-ndvr. tion iff a resolution compelling persons employed' by- -the city of New Yertt to live In New Tork State The a chances of the meastfre becoming law are about even an dthere are a lot of scared folks of the city's pay-roll.

One la Alexander Johnson, chief engineer of the Bridge Department "* at 110.000 a year. His home is in Passaic. If any school teachers and stenographers also are "foreign residents."

It would pot prevent the retention of Guy Lowell, whose home la In Boston, as architect of the new courthouse. as that work Is bain* done nn. der a special act of the legislature. Spring brings Its humors as well as poetry and health tonics. Now, there is Mike Malone who fell off p wagon?"water," If yrfu like, but also an express wagon?and hurt himself so seriously that he is going to sue the city. Malone says he had had only thirty glasses of beer and TSSek IlUt think that any Jary will take sides with the city against him on that account.

Spring has already tempered tho mouths of men with a wholesome thirst. At no season Is beer riper or mellower or more In harmony with both internal nature. Nor qan there be a better time tor testing one's ability to drive s tet^n. It can be done now as "Jocund" as in the time ?HDU m, vrioj put uw wuiu in IUO ? vocabulary/)! poesy.
