P. DAVENPORT. Many Mourners Attend and There Were Numerous Floral Pieces. Intermissions lively selections were rendered on the piano. A largo punch bowl filled with lemonade was surrounded during these brief intervals.

The Kgyptian gong attracted no little attention. It was furnished for the occasion by Mrs. Alfred Marshall. A relative id' Mrs. Marshall brought the gong from Cairo.

It is used dally to summon the members of her household to their meals. The steel plate vhieh is struck to make the sound is suspended from two largo bull's horns by a chain. Promptly at. o'clock the playing uppcd. Smith and Mrs.

Progressive Euclire Was the Game and the Spectacle Was a Bare One The Emergency Aid Society's Scheme Met With Success. In charity's name two hundred and forty women seated at sixty tables played progres sive euchre at the Pouch mansion yesterday afternoon. While the games were in progress scarcely a sound could be heard in the laru'e drawiagroom and music room. Every woman was playing her bi st for points and therefore fenv comments were heard. The sound of an i Egyptian gong was the signal for tho restraint to ond.

One clang from tho gong, which I sounded for partners to change, and the chat ter of many feminine voices and the rustle of fashionable gowns wore heard, mingling 1 with 1fhe music, tiirtil all were seated again at i different tables playing for additional points. Tho affair was conducted by the Emergency Aid society, a charitable organization which has done much good work in this city under I the name of the Seney Aid society. When in I terest in the work of the society lagged a now departure was taken. Progressive euchre, which the majority of tho members agreed was a fascinating game, might, it was thought, be made to serve charity if conducted with the proper dignity that society insists upon. Every two weeks meetings of this charity euchre society have been held at the residence of the treasurer, Mrs.

Charles H. Pelrsons. About forty members have been enrolLed and many of them have become quit expert In the game. The weekly dues have furnished means to carry on the work fur which the society was organized. No attempt has been made to aid the chronically poor.

People who, thorugh stress of circumstances, are 'temporarily unable to supiort themselves and tfneir families are furnished with the means to carry them through thoir financial troubles. Numerous cases in which such aid has been furnished havo demonstrated the usefulness of the society. Euchre playing, therefore, is an indirect way which the mombcrs ttave of fulfilling their duty toward their less fortunate brothers and sisters. The affair yesterday was attended by tho members and many of their friends. Coming during the Lenten season, the invitations to participate in a pleasure which the church would approve were readily accepted and over three hundred and fifty tickets were sold.

The remarkable success of the enterprise was not expected by tho management. No place in Brooklyn presented a more novel or charming appearance than the long draw Ingroom and the adjoining music room in the Pouch mansion between 2:30 and 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The hour set for beginning was 2 o'clock. It required a full half hour for conversation and tho preliminary arrangements. Mrs.

Pelrsons and Mrs. Joslah T. Smith, the president, worked energetically. Until the cards appeared the occasion might have been mistaken for an afternoon tea. A detailed description of the gowns would make a list quite as Interesting to women readers as any published in connection with the accounts of more pretentious functions.

Wraps wero laid aside in a room at the right of the entrance and gloves were left there, too, for most women know that cards are hard enough to shuilio and deal with uncovered hands. No sacrifice was made, however, when the glovc were removed. Diamonds and precious stones sparkled from many lingers. One young woman displayed more diamonds on her right hand alone than big casino could boast of. All of the players wore hats and quite a number wore theater hats, those delicate which are modeled low enough to please the man who sits behind a woman wearing one at the theater.

Three rows of tables accommodating four players each extended the entire length of the long drawing room and three more rows THE GONll. were placed In the music room. When the players became seated, tbe first table to tbe left near the front end of the drawing room was designated as the head table. The changing players moved in the direction of that table along the six rows, with as much convenience as if they had been straightened out into one long line. Simple rules were enforced and not tho slightest confusion existed at any time during the two hours and a half that the playing was going on.

As somi as the players at the first table finished a game a young woman tapped an Egyptian gong, which was the signal for playing to stop at the other tables. Winners were determined in unfinished games by cutting the cards. This required but a moment and then the successful partners advanced to the table above them after their victory was duly recorded with punch holes on the cards by a committee. There were eight young women whose business it was to punch the cards. Tbey called themselves punchers but' they neither resembled those hard citizens of the Southwestern plains nor did they appear pugilistic.

While the playing was going on the punchers chatted in tho hall. At the sound of the gong they scattered In all directions. A low. buzzing sound filled the air while tho players were Intently exerting their skill ami employing their luck to the best advantage by ordering it up, taking their partner's best or commenting on the game. The shuffling of the cards was not accompanied by any remarkable dexterity.

A noticeable Incident of tbo playing was the manner in which most of the contestants laid the cards on the table. They put them there with a dignified precision. The easy and accurate fling of the expert manipulator was not apparent. There was a striking difference between the quantity of sound which filled the rooms before and after the clang of the gong. The signal to change tables was.

invariably followed by as lively a 'spectacle as a woman's stock exchange may present when the fair sex gets full control in Wall street. Every woman appeared to bo getting in every other woman's way. For a minute or two the rush for seats lasted and during that time it seemed as if charity'3 latest departure had tern lnated In a hopeless tangle from which it never could be unraveled. Order came out of chaos In a twinkling at the second sounding of the gong, which announced that play was to begin. During the I.

Is Threat 6111115 True Democracy and Society. The Civitas met yesterday afternoon at the club headquarters, ltln Joralemon street, with the largest attendance of members and guests I that has assembled this season. The Hev. Dr. William S.

Hainsford. rector of St. George's Episcopal church. New York, was the speaker anil the Civitas members, arrayed in their most attractive gowns and filling even tho stairway, extended a cordial welcome to tho advocate of reform and attentively followed his remarks, even when he was condemning the practices of fashionuhle society. Miss Florence L.

Gncrtiu presided and introduced the speaker in a graceful little speech, concluding by saying Una "whether we favored consolidation or not we were frequently obliged to call on New Y'ork for our supplies." Without preface or announcement of title Dr. Hainsford plunged at once Into his subject, saying in part: "No matter what barrier separates these two great cities they are in reality but one and every aspect of life in its most expressive form is to be found in them. Every good thing, every bad thing, the extremes of life are to be met with here. The basis of true democracy and of society is the homogem ejusness of tho nation, and the dangers which threaten this unity and are the aspects of life which I wish you to consider are three, namely: Extreme poverty, ignorance and lack of leadership. The poor we always have with vis and we have become so accustomed to the fact that it has become ciyuuic and the danger therein Is very great.

This downright danger to society from poverty is the result of our too constant, intercourse with each other. Whether wo hate each other or not wo touch each other. Life lies hare to the light. People know all about each other and the poor man is fully aware of the of his rich neighbor. It is silly to expect that tho poor of to day will sit down and sigh nnd pine und die as they did Py years ego.

ami the man or woman who thinks the man is going to slip out of the world without making a protest is a fool. Poverty is a new thing in this country. Two hundred years ago there was only the poverty of the colonial home ami the outlook for the future was very bright, but there Is no such hope to day. One cause of the poverty Is that we have not. been wis, enough about the Immigration question.

We have taken millions when we ought, to take thousands, and tho result is that we are In similar condition to that of the boy who. disregarding all advice, partakes too freely of green apples. We have insisted on filling th" national stomach with fruit which In its. If is all right, but between which anil the world there Is no special reeepiency and tbe result is disastrous. The instincts of the world large insist that we should uot have so great a draught on our national digestion.

There is an enormous army of unemployed labor that is willing to work at anything il can get. but the competition between skilled and unskilled labor is heart breaking. And the well to do. tiie strong anil rich are blame for with their laws of immigration. Nothing is more unspeakable than the misery of a great city and unskilled labor cannot, servo in the city, ilefore can help this misery we have to understand It and It is hard to ilo so.

We cannot realize what two weeks' idleness or sickness means to the poor and among other things responsible for the wolf at the door is the infernal alteration in our tariff laws. Now we have to face tho quest Inn of downright hunger and the first step toward betterment is recognition of thn state of things. Tin re is no citizen so dangerous to the or so costly as the mini in despair. He ten times as costly ns the man in r.mtent. The unskilled laborer pays double the rent of tie millionaire and his taxes are out of all proportion anil yet he gets no ben fit.

We are open to rebuke for allowing such conditions to exist but we do nothing to better them. When things get so bad and foul in that we can't Ignore them we have a habit of imitating the ostrich and stleuing 'en heads in the bush and pretending not to see them. When the bush itself becomes infested we take our money jind move up town out. of sight of it. The very rich give scarcely anything in charity, the middle class do much better and the poor themselves give largely of their little store.

Tile church lias left "the people and the best schools have left the people. With regard to 'he second danger. Ignorance the remedy is for the suite to recognize the unskilled laborer as a ward and educate anil make a man of him or he becomes a source of danger to the community. Hut. the supreme need of to day is education to the young, the supreme danger denying education to the young.

Th" hope f. citizens In the future lies in educating the children. The third danger is in the leader lessi.es: of the people. They are very willing to be led but the lead'T must, first show that ho respects them. We have kept the poor so far away from us that must not wonder if they think we are them.

We need more faith in the people. Quit trying to be social leaders, which is not worth th" candle and become human leaders ami see how much better the result. After stating tl" dangers you aslt how the Civitas may overcome these and what it ought to do and my answer is above all else tentVn i.t. the education of the poor. Go to work systematically and learn all about the i.

over: metit of the public schools and tln agitate and induce the men to vote for right education and tho introduction of the kindergarten. Woman knows more about education than man anytime, for children are her natural charge. Give the little ones their kindergarten and gymnasium and parks and bath, but do not give them the drill. There is no cf gymnastics less beneficial ami we do not want to encourage a militant spirit in our young folks. Teach them to honor, salute and respect the ling, but to ilo it with a wand in their hands and not a musket.

We have not to lick the world: we have done with all that and there Is no spirit more harmful than that of jingoism. This education Is slow work but you must. 1:0 the fountain head and insist that the children whose lives are so sordid and bare shall find In tiie schools compensation for lack of beauty, space and air in their narrow lives. There Is money enough to do It in the country If rightly applied. In the kindergarten is laid the foundation of religious training, even though the sriini.0:; have naught to do with reiicion.

Members of the Civitas. go Into this work to stay, for even if your efforts are crowned with success you will be able to see hut the beginning of tile glorious now ilay that will come into full glory In the future."

church, many stood on the stairs or In the hallways of the Hats above or below. The Rev. Dr. Goodenough, after reading a number of selections from the scriptures, delivered a eulogy of tho dead man: "Our friend as a religious man was unique," he said. "He never publicly professed religion.

He was never identified with the church in that his name was on any church roll. I don't believe that all the good men In this world are on the church roll; I wish they were: it would be better if they were. He believed in prayer, believed in the Christian church and in Christianity, and we can speak of him as a Christian brother. His character was a pure, delicate and beautiful plant, which brought forth rare and rich fruit, because it was rooted in divine truth and the ever living Christ. Such lives advance the progress of the race, make society better and heaven richer." The lloral tributes were of the most beautiful description.

The employes of the post office contributed a piece six feet in height in the form of an easel, the back ground of which was of ivy leaves edged with tube roses and lilies of the valley. In the center and surrounded by white and pink roses, was a design representing an envelope formed of white pinks. On this was inscribed in immortelles, L. Davenport, Paradise In God's cave." In tho right hand upper corner of the envelope was the design of a postage stamp wrought in immortelles. Burnsldo council, R.

contributed a handsome pillow of roses, on which were the letters M. and the ushers of the Academy of Music sent a broken pillar formed of entwined roses and capped with immortelles and bearing the words "Our Chief" at the base. Among those present were Postmaster Sullivan and Superintendent Lyons, with about 150 clerks and carriers from the post office department. Burnside council was represented by Regent Nelson and past regents Van Brunt, Van Marten, Frost. Hamilton, Parrot and E.

A. Kuhn. and Brevoort council by Past Regent Earl and Treasurer Outerbridge. The burial was at Cypress Hills cemetery this afternoon. Callender Schwarzwaelder.

An event of unusual interest in representative social circles was the marriage of Miss Millieent Schwarzwaelder, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Schwarzwaelder, and James Callender, which was celebrated at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the home of the bride, 59 South Portland avenue. 'ho Rev. Dr.

David Gregg, pastor of the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church, officiated. Miss Pago Schwarzwaelder, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Lillian Callender and Miss Edith Burtis. Lincoln Van Cott acted as best man and the ushers were Frasier M. Moffat, Theodore L. Frothingham, F.

Hallott Lovell, Alexander Callender, George Schwarzwaelder and Charles Sherman. The decorations were beautiful, the colors being pink and green. The mantels were banked with pink roses combined with wild smilax and palms, while foliage plants adorned the recesses and hallway. Tho prle dieu was trimmed with roses, smilax and bows of satin ribbon, and the windows back of it were concealed by a curtain of smilax and roses, caught with pink bows. The ribbons forming the aisle were held by Masters Allen Schwarzwaelder and Malcolm Owens.

The priests' march "Attalie" was played as the bridal party entered and tho coronation march from "The Prophet" at the close of the ceremony. The bride's gown was white satin with trimming of duchess and point lace and her tulle va'll was caught with a diamond clasp, the gift of the groom. The ma'id of honor was attired in pink mousse lino de sole and the bridesmaids wore white mousseline de sole. Owing to the death of the groom's grandmother the reception which followed the ceremony was small and was held from 5 to 7. The bride and groom have gone on a tour of the South, after winch they will take up their residence in Flatbush.

March 7 The committee on general laws of the assembly has given a hearing to the representatives of the Suffolk county board of supervisors on the bill introduced by Assemblyman Higble of Suffolk to prevent the City of Brooklyn from going into that county in pursuit of an additional water supply. Tho bill was introduced in the assembly somo weeks ago, and at that time was explained in the Albany dispatches of the Eagle. Tho bill in effect provides that the boards of supervisors in any county may declare certain waters needful tor the water supply of that county and thereafter no municipality outside of that county can come into the county and take the waters thus declared for any purpose. The purpose and effect the bill and the end for which it is offered is to prevent the City of Brooklyn from extending its water system into Suffolk county. At the outset of the hearing Chairman Wray informed Mr.

Higbie that he personally was strongly opposed to the bill and should contest it in the committee, not as the chairman, but as a member of the assembly from He made tho statement in fairness to Mr. Higbie, and in order that there should be no misunderstanding as to his position. He thought that was due to the advocates of the bill. He also stated that the corporation counsel of the city desired to be heard, but could nc? be present at the hearing to day. The conimitteo would hear tho advocates of the bill and then would adjourn tho hearing until Corporation Counsel McDonald could como before the committee.

The first argument in advocacy of the bill was made by Mr. William J. Youngs, who represented the Suffolk county board of supervisors. He said that while It was a general bill, it was well understood that it related chiefly to the county of Suffolk. Its intent was to prevent the City of Brooklyn from coming into that county and tapping their streams and ponds, under the law of eminent domain, and reducing them to the condition of the south side of Long Island, in Queens county.

There the water supply had been tapped to supply tho city and the result had been to turn that side of the island Into an arid desert. It was that fate that the people of Suffolk desired to avoid, and they felt very strongly on the subject. They desired to avoid tho inroads that had been made into Queens county. The water supply of Suffolk was limited, and while it was sufficient for the needs of the people there, it was not copious enough to warrant the city coming in and depleting their ponds and streams. Lost summer the results in Queens county on the south side were very apparent.

Water was carted from the north side of the Island to supply the local needs, because the water system of Brooklyn had depleted the natural supply. Assemblyman Abeli of the committee asked if the past summer was not a very dry one. und if other counties had not suffered in common with Long Island? Mr. Youngs said he could not say. He admitted that it was a very dry season everywhere.

He noxt referred to the injury which he claimed would result to the shore industries of Suffolk, if their water supply was to be taken by Brooklyn. They made their plea not In any spirit of hostility to tho city, but In self defense, and for their own protection. It was not as if the city was shut up to Long Island for its water supply and could go nowhere else. Even if the city should extend its system into Suffolk, and drain all her ponds and streams, it would be only a temporary resource at the best. In ten yea at the outside it would be necessary for the city to go elsewhere than on the island, for the rapid growth of tho city would create a demand which even Long Island could not supply, even if her entire resource was made available.

Why, then, was it not the part of wisdom for the city and the legislature to take the bull by the horns, as it were, and begin to make preparation for the future, which must be made in time. Why not use the convict labor of the state build a great conduit from the great lake system of the state that would supply the cities of Brooklyn and New York with all the water they could waut? Some such schemo tho speaker submitted, must be put in operation in tho near future, and why not take the initiatory steps now? Mr. Youngs next spoke of the injury that would result to the coasting trade from the depletion of tho streams Mowing into the sound and the bay. They had once afforded a safe harbor for tho coasting craft, but now they were in many instances so drained that they could be entered only by craft of the smallest tonnage. The next speaker for the hill was Lunacy Commissioner Henry A.

Reeve of Suffolk, who said the sentiment of tho people of the county was greatly wrought up over the prospect that Brooklyn would" soon extend her water system into their county. They believed that it would work to their disadvantage, as it had to the people of the south side, in Queens. He then spoke particularly of the injury which would result to the oyster industry from the depletion of the supply of fresh water flowing over the beds. It was essential, he said, to the proper growth and development of the oyster that it should have a certain supply of fresh water to fatten it, and put it in a proper condition for market. The industry, he stated, is an important one in Suffolk, not only to the people of tho county, but to very many beyond its boundaries.

Tho supply of oysters from tho waters of the county is enormous, larger, in fact, than one not familiar with the facts would imagine. The tapping of the fresh water streams would cut off this necessary supply of water from the oyster beds, and work almost incalculable injury. Assemblyman Hlgfbeo, was the last speaker for the bill. He referred to the proposal that the convict labor of the state should be used to build a great conduit from the lakes, and he thought it offered a solution for tho water supply problem. He said that he called upon Mayor Schieren recently and discussed the proposed bill with him.

At that interview the mayor said that to go into Suffolk for more water would only be a temporary expedient. The time would come in a few years when the city would have to go elsewhere than on Long Island for a further water supply. Why not, then, the speaker submitted, take a stop in tho right direction, and instead of coming out to Suffolk and ruining their ponds and streams draining their natural springs and sources of supply. take the initiatory steps in tho direction of securing a source of water that could be re lied upon for all time to pome? The city of Brooklyn was growing with marvelous rapidity, and it would ho only a few years, five or ten at most, when the city would have to face tho question of a much larger water supply than the whole of Long Island could possibly furnish. Meanwhile, the interests of the people of Suffolk should not be permitted to suffer by reason cf any makeshift arrangement.

The corporation counsel of this city will be heard in opposition to the bill at a date to he arranged. There is no possibility that the interests of the city will be allowed to suffer, for thero are three Brooklyn men on the comittee, Wray. tho chairman, Abell and Harry Schulz. New York and Albany are alto represented. Clarkson's bill to repeal the compulsory vaccination la was taken up, and the mover of the bill stated its purpose.

A hearing will be given to the city authorities of Drooklyn and New York and to the health boards in opposition to the bill. Training School Alumnae Social. The Alumnae association of the Brooklyn Training School far Teachers held a social meeting in the gymnasium of the training school, on Ryerson street, on Tuesday afternoon. Dancing, refreshments and the singing of Miss Bolduan, with a. dialect recitation by Miss Brice, made up an attractive programme.
