Words of Encouragement From Dr. Darlington and Other Ministers to the Charitable Workers and Patrons of the Institution Philanthropy of the Founder One Hundred Children Participate in the Ceremonies of the Day. A large gathering of the prominent charitable workers cf the eastern district attended the opening services of the James W. Smith Memorial school, 4S0 Humboldt street, yesterday afternoon, where they spent a pleasant and profitable two hours listening to tho speeches of the president, Benjamin W. Wilson, and several of the clergy, choruses by th children of the school and two songs by little Earl Gulick.

the boy singer. The rooms In. the building were much admired by the visitors, a also the manner in which the Institution is conducted. The new school was fully described in the Eagle last Sunday. The children, numbering about one hundred, were terraced on a platform and went through a programme of song and calisthenic exercises in a way that showed very careful training on the part of Miss E.

L. Perry, who led them. In the course of his address Mr. Wilson said: This school was some years ago through a clause to provide for very poor children one meal a day, give them lessons in the lower branches of education and Incld entally assist poor families In the locality. The work has grown until we have now a school averaging about ninety scholars.

The school Is wholly dependent upon fcself and public aid, no money being received from the city, and It is hoped that all churches and charitably disposed persons In the vicinity will assist in extending Its usefulness. To day v. meet to open this beautiful building, adapted In all Its parts to the extension of the noble charity I read In this morning's paper of a lady dying and leaving S3.noo.000 to charity and nothing to friends and relatives. That gift I do not regard as' a or charitable one. This building was donated by a gentleman whom I knew for thirty years or more a quiet unassuming man; a kind and affectionate eon.

a loving and considerate brother, a true and faithful husband. These qualities could not fall to make him one of the best cltr.iens. Nearly all his life he had charge of large estates and In handling them he oame to known the true valuo of money. Mr. Smith was at the head of a large corporation the Consolidated Gas company which bought large quantities of coal.

I shall never forgot his remark to me one day. He said "Mr. Wilson, I have all the money I I am going out of business. I can't see the use of piling up gold and not using It any more than piling up coal and not bum ini? it." Pn fnr vprm iq a liberal giver to works of charity, never forget ting those who were near and dear to him. He i bought and paid for a building on Dart of th ground upon which this building stands.

I never heard of it until the deed was recorded. So he lived ard took a delight In giving and making everybody happy. He never forgot the children at the home school on Christmas davs and the children's memory of him will live as a bright Rl in their lives. His death is a great loss to the school and to the community. This building ereoLed his dear wife Is a fitting memorial of a life well spent.

It was erected out of her private estate, she believing that It was his Intentions to build such a one had he lived. The Institution Is therefore, under a great debt of obligation to Mrs. J. W. Smith, not only for the splendid gKt of the building, but for her continued interest in the work as exhibited by her furnishing tiia same.

I have taken great Interest and pleasure lr. seeing It erected and this interest and pleasure nave been made doubly great by the cheerfulness with wtiich the gift was given. Would that all our wealthy citizens use. during their lives their means In first taking care of those near and dear to them and then see what may be. done for the poor and the needy all around us.

The Rev. J. D. Wells, the venerable pastor of the South Third street Presbyterian church, then spoke a few happy words. He recalled tho occasion when he had officiated at the ceremony of the marriage of Mr.

and Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith was among those present. The Rev.

J. C. Adams of All Souls church referred to the indebtedeness of the people at large to the donors, av work for the care of the young was the highest in the life of the community. Its extent and influence, he said, could not be measured. The Rev.

Dr. Darlington of Christ church was the last speaker. He referred to the disparity In the amount given for charitable purposes between the eastern district and the rest of Brooklyn. With only about one fifth of the wealth of the rest of the citv the eastern district tried to sustain is hospital, Its kindergarten, its charities and many other associations In addition to its churches, and the same list of people wero called upon from time to time. The people of WMlliamsburgh, however.

were among the most generous in any part of Brooklyn, and they had their reward, in the great work accomplished. Tea was afterward served. FATHER O'HARE AND THE SIDE DOOR. There Is much talk and some consternation among the liquor dealers of Greenpoint over the fact that the Rev. Father O'Hare of St.

Anthony's church on Sunday last made a personal investigation of how the liquor traffic was conducted in the district on that day. Between 5 and o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the Rev. Father O'Hare entered a saloon on Manhattan avenue and saw six men; drinking beer. Two bartenders, with their coats off were busy behind the bar. Father O'Hare did not remain any length of time in the saloon.

He staid long enough, however, to convince him that the law was being violated. Then he left and walked along Manhattan avenue. It was Father O'Hare's Intention to enter another saloon, but the reverend gentleman was circumvented. Somebody in the saloon had recognized him, and word, as by an electric signal, was passed along the street to have side doors bolted. Nearly all the saloons cn the avenue were kept closed from 5 o'clock until K.

Father O'Hare observed, however, from the lights that bordered the window shades and tran i soms that business was still going on inside. I After o'clock business was resumed aa usual. The Rev. Father O'Hare. who took an active part in the work of the deputation that recently visited the mayor, made no secret of his visit when an Eagle reporter I saw him yesterday afternoon.

"We do not wish," he said, "to force the hand of the i mayor, even were we able to do so. Mr. Wurster must, get time to consider the sub ject and collect the statistics he. has spoken about. But, after all, there is little neces sity for any one to look for evidence of Sun day liquor selling in Grgenpoint.

It is only necessary to go to tho police court of a Monday morning and see the cases of lntoxica i tlon. Where did the people get tho liquor? Such people should be made to testify and tho licenses of the saloons where it was sold should be cancelled. If this were done there would be no necessity for spies, or even tho police, procuring evidence. The ravages of drink among the working classes are deplor I able. I know and nan a dozen young I men In this neighborhood who had excellent business chances but whose lives have been completely destroyed by whisky.

The man who visits the saloon on Sunday has neither church nor home. There aro workingmen in this neighborhood who work seventy houra per week and spend fully one half of their wages on Sundays in drink. How then are the grocers' and butchers' bills to be paid?" on the now structure. Last evening buper visors George A. Miller and Byron Griffin, the committee on tne children nome, with Architect Skldmore, went to Mlneola to inspect the children's home there.

Tho present building has long been unfit for use. The building Is more than seventy five years old, one and one half stories high, and was once known as the Yaphank hotel. Miss Susie, Miller has been matron for more than ten years. There are now between twenty and twenty five children in the home, whose ages range from 2 to 12 years. Miss Sarah Hlggins presides over the school, a suitable school room having recently been erected adjacent to the home.

This building will be moved to the new site and will continue to serve as the school house for the children. TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS. Bay Shore, L. January 21 School Commissioner Fordham of the Second district of Suffolk county will hold uniform teachers' examinations for 1896 as follows: First grade March 5 and 6 at Bay Shore, August 13 and 14 at Northport.

Part Jefferson, L. January 22 The game season, Just closed, has been a most unsatisfactory one to sportsmen here. The quail have been scarce ahd of small size and partridge of less numbers. Rabbits, too, have not been as numerous as In previous years. A member of the local gun club is unable to account for the missing birds, but explains the cause of few rabbits.

He says that many game dogs are allowed to run at large during the open or breeding season, and these kill the young rabbits. He says he has seen hundreds of dead half grown rabbits in the woods killed by dogs. SCALLOPS IN LARGE QUANTITIES. Stony Brook, h. January 22 Not in twenty years have scallops been caught in such large quantities in this harbor as this winter.

Men come from all the adjacent villages, and with tongs and rakes are making large catches. They have no trouble to find a market for their catches, as three sloops are kept running to Connecticut markets. The price obtained is 40 cents per bushel. The men catch from five to fifteen bushels in a day and without much effort. THOUSANDS OF WILD FOWL.

Great Neck, L. January 22 There are large quantities of wild ducks about here now. The fowl are to be seen daily in flocks often containing a thousand birds, feeding in Manhasset and Little Neck bays and in Hewlett's cove.

George Kohl Looking After His Deceased Wife's Estate FINDS HER A LIVE BUT INSANE. He Deserted Her Nineteen. Years Ago in College Point and Returns To day on Hearing That She Died Leaving a Fortune The Woman Not Dead but a Patient in the Poughkeepsie Insane Asylum. (Special to the Eagle.) College Point, L. January 22 George Kchl, who deserted his wife nineteen years ago as ihe says account of the interference of her mother, reached this village to day from a western town, where he has since resided, to claim his wife's estate, which he was informed was large.

He had been told that the woman was dead. He called on Justice Sutter to day and explained his errand, saying that the woman he married and de serted was Mary Stelnbriok. He was much surprised to be informed by the justice that ho was not a widower as Mary Steinbrick, the woman he claims to have married Is at present confined in tho Poughkeepsle Insane asylum, where she was committed about a year ago. After her husband deserted her Mary led a secluded life. The fact that she was left alone without relatives or friends so preyed upon her mind that she became despondent and subsequently showed signs of mental derangement.

She spent her money lavishly and application was finally made to the courts for the appointment of a guardian over her person and estate. John P. Kraebel of College Point was appointed and pays for Mary's support In the Insane asylum. Kohl claims to have been married by the Rev. J.

Carpenter Smith of Flushing, but cannot produce the marriage certificate. He says he held no correspondence with his wife during his nineteen years absence. DRAPER SECURES BAIL. Flushing, L. January 22 T.

Eight months ago Mr. Draper advertised for a man with a capital of $1,000 to take an interest in the business. Mr. Peterson answered th advertisement and a copartnership was the result. Mr.

Peterson invested $500, purchased fifty chickens to add to the stock and also a cow and a horse and carriage. Months passed and at frequent intervals Mr. Peterson endeavored to secure an accounting, but, he says, he failed. Last Monday he made a final attempt without success and then determined to cause his partner's arrest. MEASLES CLOSES THE SCHOOL.

Bath Beach Eesidents Bombard the Washington Authorities FOR BETTER POSTAL FACILITIES. They Propose to "Write Two Letters a Week to the Postmaster General Ask ing for a Branch Post Office and Free Delivery and Keep It Up Postmaster Sullivan's "Views on the Subject. There is a determined effort on the part of the residents of Bath Beach to secure free postal delivery for their section. The attention of the authorities in Washington has been called repeatedly to the necessity of establishing a regular branch post office in that growing section of greater Brooklyn, but the requests have not been noticed. The old Dutch blood of the early settlerB has been aroused, and, combined v.ith the characteristic American push of the latter day suburbanites, they are determined to bring about a reform.

George Shellds, a largo property owner and a man of the times, started the ball a rolling by writing the authorities at Washington and got a friend to do so at the same time. He has now a list of prominent residents and business men who have arranged that two of them will write to the postmaster general every week, calling attention to the need. The list is already a long one and names are being constantly added to it, and the letter writing will continue until there is a reply. The strongest kind of arguments will be used for the abolishment of the old style post office and the introduction of the new. George Sheilds said yesterday: "Our post office Is nothing short of a disgrace and is at least ten years behind the times.

It is not abreast, by any means, with the progress our community is making. Last year we spent on new streets, and, thanks to ex Commissioner White, we have some of the finest roadways in the country. Probably as much more was previously spent in opening streets throughout the old town that were not so good. We have flagged sidewalks, sewers and more gas than any other town in the United States. And again we now have a cheap fare.

No section of Brooklyn is growing more rapidly. There are hundreds of buildings going up all over the town and those in Bath Beach and vicinity number into the scores. Our permanent population is large and is steadily growing. Our transient population during the three or four summer months numbers away into the thousands and It Is then we experience the greatest difficulty with our mails. There is not a town in the ITnltfxl States with the Improvements and population we have that has such postal facilities.

Our post office Is the smallest kind of a one horse affair, occupying one corner of an old fash ipned grocery store. The place is not big enough to hold all those that call for their letters when the morning mail comes In and people often have to wait for their turn outside. It is almost worth one's life to get mixed up in the morning rush, as there is usually a general scramble to see who will be first served. Out in Westchester county. New York's recently annexed district, where they have not a fraction of the population cr improvements we can boast of, free delivery has been introduced.

The live people'here think that it is an injustice that they are left on this score, but have now made up their minds that the improvement must take place. There is our neighbor, Bensonburst, building up as fast almost as she knows how. Why between Benson avenue and the shore and Eighteenth avenue to Twenty fourth, over thirty houses are now being erected. In Bath Beach, within a radius of two blocks from the post office, a dozen or more houses are In course of construction. This I know, as I took the trouble to count them.

Visitors are enticed to come out our way by the good roads that bring them and a prominent resident of Brooklyn, a bank cashier, told me that we have a healthy and prosperous looking neighborhood. That same man could not get over our post office, however. He said It put him in mind of the offices he visited in the wilds, miles from civilization. We feel sure that if the Washington authorities really knew of our condition that they would lump at the chance to establish a sub station here. In anticipation of the free delivery that has been talked of so much and for so long many have numbered their houses and places of business.

This has been done on the Philadelphia plan, which is considered the simplest and best. Then, again, our present post ofllce Is not safe. Two or throe times within the past five years it has been robbed. It was suggested to me that the only way to get the postmaster general to take any notice of us would be to keep at him and give him no rest until he was forced to turn this way. We decided on the letter writing scheme and there was no difficulty in getting any number to go into it.

We will have free deliver because we are entitled to it. If the Eagle would call attention to this necessity I am sure it would help us to secure It." The Bath Beach post ojfice Is certainly not an institution any locality of that size could be proud of. Despite the fact that the office is of the third class standing it still retains its primitive customs. With the exception, possibly, of a frame containing the numbered pigeon holed letter boxes, there has been no change in the office since it was first established in its present location. Benson avenue and Bay Twentieth street, in 1865, by the father of the present postmaster.

W. H. Wright. When the elder Wright died, in 1S74, his son succeeded him and was reappointed until 1SS5, when Cleveland was elected President. Jacob Moore was then postmaster for four years, but when Harrison was elected tho post office was moved back to the old quarters and has been there ever since.

The building is old. the store is old fashioned, with its low ceilings and exposed beams and Is not any too large. The window panes are small, of an ancient pattern and the interior is dismal. It appears that the government made an exception with this office, when it was made third class, and did not compel the postmaster to find a place to be used exclusively for the postal duties. The introduction of a branch post office would do away with all the local offices on the east side of the old town, including the Bensonhurst, Van Pelt Manor, Blythbourne and West Brooklyn, and also Gravesend beach.

Postmaster Sullivan, when interviewed relative to the matter, "The subject of extending the postal service from the Brooklyn post office to Bath Beach and the other suburban sections the city, the postal service of which is not yet under my jurisdiction, has received my attention for tho past year. Several communications on the subject have been forwarded to the department, in which the were fully set forth, and the matter is now In the hands of the first assistant postmaster general. Only a few days ago I sent a letter requesting that speedy action be taken, and I am expecting a favorable response at an early day. I see no reason why the desired boon, should not. bo granted to the residents of the section referred to.

and believe that it is but a question of a very short time when the postal service of the entire city will be under the direction and control of the Brooklyn post office." FIREMAN'S FUNERAL AT CONEY ISLAND The funeral of James M. Spencer of West Brighton was attended yesterday from Brighton chapel by the entire fire Jeparement of Coney Island, In full uniform, there being oVor two hundred in attendance. Mr. Spence had been a member of the hook and ladder company since its organization, and had for fifteen years been a leading resident of West Brighton. The Rev.

P. V. Van Buskirk of the Gravesend Reformed church, conducted the services, and the music was rendered by Miss Louise Brewster, the organist, with the Misses Davis. Gcodfellow and Rose Brighton, Mrs. Gcodfellow and Mr.

The former board or trustees of the Third district school of Flatiands, located in C'a narsie, are in a very indignant frame of mind because the Brooklyn board of education took charge of the two school houses, teachers, scholars, real estate and all the appurtenances without so much as saying by your leave. "Our board," said William La Salle, one of the members thereof and a prominent resident of Flatlands, to an Eagle reporter, "was treated as though it were of no account. Superintendent Maxwell, accompanied by two or three school commissioners, I believe, came down here and annexed the entire outfit as if nobodji In this town was concerned in it. They found everything in apple pie order at the main school as well as at the branch. Though this may seem an out of the way place to some people, there was nothing rustic about our schools.

The high toned board of education that turned up Its refined nose at us. found public schools here of a standard every bit as high as any in Brooklyn. That was the one thing we had been working for all these years. Our principals and teachers were all graduates of normal colleges, and no money was spared poor as the town is, to give our children the best schooling that could be had. "What the board of education should have done," continued Mr.

La Salle, "was to send a committee down here and notify us of its coming. We would have met that committee in the trustees' room at tho main school house and formally turned ail the school property over to it. Why, they didn't even ask us for the books or any documents relating to the school, that ve might have had in our possession. This delivery of all our school interests into the hands of people who are strangers to the town was a matter of deep concern to all our people, and should have been accompanied by a little formality. The trustees held what might be called an Indignation meeting and voted unanimously that they and the whole town had peen treated most shabbily by the board of education of the great and enlightened City of Brooklyn, of which our territory now forms the Thirty second ward." The ex trustees beside Mr.

La Salle are John E. Coles, who was the president of the board; William J. Tillison, Henry Baumoster and Louis Carman. The treatment they got from the beard of education is not the only thing that Is worrying them. In September last year they borrowed 1,500 from Herr man Lohman, to take up a $1,190 bond inherited from their predecessors, known as the ring board, and pay the current expenses of the two schools until January 1.

According to Mr. La Salle the bond as taken up about six weeks before the retirement from office, of County Treasurer Harry Adams. It was paid for with a chock on the Twenty sixth ward bank. A week ago Supervisor John L. Ryder of Flatlands was notified by County Treasurer Taylor that there was a bond in the tetter's office against the town of Flat lands and it ought to be immediately attended to.

Mr. Ryder thought that the bond had been redeemed months ago and immediately drove to Canarsie to interview the school trustees on the matter. He was told that the bond had certainly been taken up and that the check drawn on the Twenty sixth ward bank would prove it. However, there was no record of it in the treasurer's ofllce. The trustees have made several requests to the county treasurer for $4,500 they owe to Mr.

Lohman but he refuses to give up the money until the bond matter is cleared up and the trustees produce vouchers for every cent that has been expended. The board was compelled to borrow the money because the school taxes had not yet been paid in. Mr. La Salle says that he and his colleagues are able to account for every penny they spent and will also produce the check with, which the bond was taken up. The school money turned over to the city by the town of Flatlands on January 1, amounted to It is from this fund the former trustees of the Third discrlct school expect to get the $1,500 for which they are Indebted to Mr.

Lohman. LECTURES AT ST. JUDE'S. A course of lectures has been arranged to take place at St. Jude's church, Blythe bourne, this season.
