LEVI P.

MORTON. By the Governor: Ashley W. Cole, Private Secretary. GALLAGHER AND WHITEHEAD. They Do Not Speak to Each Other at Amityville.

Dr. Gallagher, who was recently liberated after thirteen years' confinement in English prisons, the major part of which was spent in Portland prison, Is still an Inmate of the sanitarium at Amityville. His brother, Daniel, told a reporter of the Eagle last night that the doctor Is Improving physically and Is getting rather stout since his liberation. A suit of clothes given Dr. Gallagher after his arrival in this country, has become much too small for him.

He is being frequently visited by bis relatives. They say that there is not much signs of improvement in his mental condition. He has become a regular reader of the newspapers. He cannot, however, talk rationally on any given subject for more than a few minutes. He has retained all his former manner ofpollteness but occasionally lapses into spells which clearly show that his reason is unbalanced.

George Whitehead, or Murphy, as he has been called, is also a patient art Amityville. A strange feature about the confinement of Dr. Gallagher and Whitehead is that the one believes the other to oe insane and they do not talk to p.ich other. 0IVITAS PLANS. Money for Philanthropic Enterprises to Be Secured by Subscription First Meeting of the Season.

The first meeting of the Civitas club Bince the summer recess was held yesterday afternoon at the club headquarters. 160 Joralemon street. Miss Doughty presided and the proceedings were entirely of a business nature, the session being devoted to a consideration of the interests and plans of the club, and no visitors were admitted. Jfrs. Frederic Pratt, chairman of the committee on education, reported that during the past year the committee had been invested in the new methods introduced in the schools, including sewing: had visited the manual training school and also made a special study of some of the departments of Pratt institute.

Announcement was made of the appointment of a kindergarten superintendent, and in closing Mrs. Pratt touched upon the new disciplinary school, its methods and objects. The kindergarten, which is under the general supervision of Mrs. Clifford L. Lut eins, chairman of the philanthropic com mittee, and inhe special care of Miss Harriet L.

Blackford, chairman of the kindergarten extension committee, has been removed from its first quarters, on Amity street, to 91 Pacific street. Three rooms, instead of two, are now devoted to its uses' and the kindergarten is in the charge of Miss Emma Tracy, who is assisted on three separate days of the week by three members of the club who have taken a special course in kindergarten work. The Working club, in charge of Miss Carolyn B. Darrow, was reported as started this season under especially favorable auspices and the penny provident fund, in charge of Miss Planten. and the branch of the Pratt library under the direction of Miss Lillian House! both of which have their headquarters at Al Pacific streo were reported as flourishing.

Wans for raising the $1,000 necessary to carry on the philanthropic work of the "club during the coming year, were discussed at length It was decided that Instead of the former method of giving entertainments and inducing people to buy tickets, the simple, direct plan of subscription will be tried and blanks furnished to each member. If the required amount can be secured in this way, no further tax will be put upon the club. Congratulations were sent by the Civitas to Major McKinley, several of the members being personaly acquainted wjth the President elect, and also to Commissioner and Mrs. Woodruff, the latter being connected with the club. The hope was expressed that the women's clubs of Brooklyn would in the near future have a club house, location adjacent to the new institute buildings being favored.

The Civitas has, for each year of its existence, put aside $100 toward the furnishing of a room in the club house when it is erected. General Horace F. Porter, who was re quested to address the club at its open meeting, on November 25, was unable to comply, owing to a previous engagement, but is expected to address the members later in the season. Mrs. Clifford L.

Lutkins, Mrs. John C. Kerr, Miss Kate Baldwin. Miss Ruth Allen and Miss Sara Xesmith were among the hostesses. A CHARITY DANCE Under the Auspices of the Training School for irls.

A pleasant dance was given last evening at the Pouch mansion, under the auspices of the board cf managers of the Brooklyn Training School and Home for Young Girls, Fulton street, and many of the young people of the Hill and Park slope were In attendance.

Hopkins. Mrs. Rachel Taylor, Mrs. William Howard, Mrs. W.

Martin, Miss Blackford, Miss Tuttle, Miss Jewell and Miss Terrett. Messrs. Frederic Edsall and Sheldon H. Bassett assisted the committee. Miss Hazel Pratt, wearing a picturesque Scotch costume, gave an entertaining exhibition of fancy dancing during the evening.

PNEUMATIC MAIL TUBES. That Between Erooklyn and New York Will Soon Be in Operation Details or Construction of Those in Us.

a The post office officials have decided on tha route over which the pneumatic tube lino is to be laid, coneoting the post offices of Brooklyn and Now York. Before this work can be commenced, permission will have to ba secured from tho commissioner of publio works and the cornmissiojior of parks of both cities for laying tho tubing, but It 13 understood that this will be granted without delay, so that operations can be commenced at once. Strating from the main post office, in Now York, the line will be laid on Mail street, then through the cl ty ball park and along Park row to the bridge structure. From the Brooklyn end of the bridge, the tube will be run by tfae most direct route to the Brooklyn office, on Washington street. Since the exclusive announcement in the Eagle of tho fact that Brooklyn and New York ire to have a pneumatic tube mail service, postmasters from several of the other large cities have endeavored to get the department to adopt the system in their owa towns.

The pneumatic tube service has been used successfuly in both London and Paris for a number of years, but it was first Introduced into this country in Philadelphia in 1893. In putting the system into effect in Brooklyn the post office will follow closely the designs of the Philadelphia plant, making use of the improvements which have been made la the service since 1893. The tubes of the Brooklyn New York system will be much larger than those used in Philadelphia and will bo capable of greater carrying capacity. The tubes in the latter city are but six and a half inches In diameter, but at the time they were put In they were larger than any that had been employed in England. In the European systems the carriers were very light, weighing only a few ounces but the Philadelphia plant employed carrier capable of holding from ISO to 200 letters and weighing from twelve to fourteen pounds.

The straight portions of the pipes are of cart iron and the bends are made of brass with a six foot radius. The cast iron nines aro nr. dinary water pi bored to six and one eighth mcnes in ammeter, tne Joints being made in the usual manner with oakum and lead caulk ing, ine pipes are laid about four feet under the surface of the street and In order to pass under the network ot pipes and conduits encountered at street crossings it was neces sary in places to reacn a depth of as much as thirteen feet, and in some places the pipes follow grades of as much as six feet in one hundred. In the basement of the main office at Philadelphia is a duplex air compressor with steam cylinders bored ten inches in diameter and air cylinders of eighteen inch bore. The stroke of the piston is 24 inches.

Thirty horse power is developed by the engine in maintaining the air at seven pounds pressure. The air is forced into a tank. Where all moisture is drained off, and thence passes through transmitting apparatus Into the out going line of pipe. This terminates at the sub station in the receiving apparatus, which is normally closed to the asmosphere. At a Doint In thA pipe close to this apparatus a branch is taken off.

diverting the air through the transmitter of the sub station, and thence into the return pipe. This terminates in the receiving apparatus at the main post office. The gate valve in tne latter being normally closed, diverts the air through a branch nlDe. which en tera a tank from which the compressor draws its air. This tank has a small opening commun wnu tue axmospnere, tnus permitting the compressor to supply any loss from leak age.

The transmitters In both cities are alike and easily operated by hand. A time lock Is provided, so that carriers cannot be sent at too close intervals. The receiving annaxatna at the main post office is practically a contin uation 01 tne line pipe with Us end open, permitting a carrier to be discharged directly on to a table. The carriers used in the London system consist of cylindrical gutta Dercha tube. covered with felt, which extends beyond the rear open end of the carrier, forming a skirt wnicn serves as a pack ring.

The pressure behind this part causes it to expand until It ex actly fits the tube. An elastic band across the rear opening can be stretched sufficiently to allow messages to be put In and serves to re tain tnem in the carrier. The magnitude of the European plants may be gathered from the following figures: The London system has forty three swuions and total length ot thirty four miles of cubes. There are six en gines of an aggregate of 21G horse power, ot which 15S are in conscant demand. The average number of messages transmitted dally is 56.S00.

From the records covering a. series of years, it was found that obstructions in the English tubes, due to the wedging of mall matter, averaged eight per (annum. Among the causes to which these accidents were ascribed were the opening of the boxe3 and scattering of tho dispatches through the tube, the breaking of the piston, pares of which became wedged, and also the wrinkling of the leather covering tho mail bag. HAMLIN GARLAND'S READINGS. Western Fun and Humor Illustrated From His Works.

Owing to ill health John Burroughs was unable last night to fill his engagement for an address before the Brooklyn Institute on "Walt Whitman." Hamlin Garland of Chicago came in his stead and read a number of selections from his own works illustrative of Western life and manners. "I shall speak to you to night," said Mr. Garland, "about the Western prairies those gentle rises of land like the billows of a summer sea, covered with grass almost as high, as the back of a horse and dotted near the streams with trees." This picture, however, Mr. Garland said, was fast fading from memory, for the prairies are gone, though the plains remain. He read two or three delight ful poems descriptive of the poetry of thi midland region, including "An Apology" and "The Prairies Chickens." Farm life in the West was illustrated by an amusing sketch, called "Ethan Ripley," and tolling the tribulations of an old farmer who allowed a quack doctor to paint a huge advertisement on his barn.

Tho inevitable conflict between the Indian and the whitu man was graphically epitomized In "Drifting Crane." This was the story of an old chief of the redskins who vainly tried to stop the progress of the white man over the Great Divide. The entertainment closed with several litttle "Mts from Mr. Garland's book ol poems, the best known selection being th "Horses Chawing Hay." All the pieces were well received and the speaker heightened thu impression that has been formed of him from his writings. A week from next Monday F. Hopkinsou Smith will appear In tho authors' course undei the auspices of the Brooklyn institute and read selections from his stories.

It Is expected that Mr. Garland will also be heard a second time lateT in the season. tnat the proohets have sDOken. I have noted this sentence so punctuatod instanced in several standard authorities as a warning how mal punctuation sometimes completely reverses the meaning intended by the author, and the following punctuation ainrmed as the correct: fools and slow of heart to believe, etc. Will you kindly reply whether the punctua tion appearing In the critique is merely through Inadvertence in the rush to press, or whether you maintain there is any argument in support of it, and oblige.

Yours truly, WALTER LORD ROSS. Mr. Ross furnishes the reason for the punctuation of the sentence quoted. The Rev. Dr.

S. D. McConnell of the Church of tho Holy Trinity, Clinton and Montague streets, announces that he will begin next Sunday a course of lectures or instructions upon the things which Christians and churchmen believe. He says: "My Idea is to try and make people understand what they do believe and what they do not believe." This is a novel undertaking and should be highly Instructive. Speaking of the Rev.

Dr. Abbott's recent public utterances concerning tho Bible, Dr. McConnell says: "Dr. Abbott is right in the main in what he says. He Is going, no doubt, to shake up a good many people, but they need to be shaken up.

If a man is afloat on a leaky boat it is better that his attention should be called to the condition of the boat, even If it startle and disturb him. Dr. Abbott's in tention is to set people right along certain lines, and I shall endeavor to do along cer tain other lines." When Dr. McConnell delivers his lectures we shall have more definite information as to what he means when he says, "Dr. Abbott is right in the main." In the meantime, the lectures will be looked for with interest, for Dr.

McConnell Is said to be a ripe scholar and a clear thinker. Article VI of the "Articles of religion as established by the bishops, the clergy and tho laky of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United of America, In convention on the 12th day of September, in the year of our Lord 1801," says: "Holy scripture contalneth all thlng3 necessary to salvation: so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it should be believed as an article of faith, or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation." A liberal interpretation of that article "nor may be proved thereby" and "is not to bo required of any man that it should be believed as an article of faith" will give Dr. McConnell a great deal more latitude than is accorded by some powerful denominations to their ministers. Gf course he will not substitute one doubt for another es the disciples ot Darwin do. MUL.

BRUSH, President. FOR ST. GILES' HOME. What was known as a birthday party was held Tuesday afternoon and evening in the House of St. Giles for Crippled Children.

at 419 Clinton street. Invitations had been sent out among the patrons and friends of the institution and from 2 clock In the afternoon until late In the evening there was steady stream 01 visitors at the home. The birthday end of the celebration was. as stated in the invitations, fulfilled bv the visitors, who dropped into a basket, which was held by an inmate stationed at the door, contribution of 1 cent for every year of tho donor's age. Of course, the visitors wero not limited to this and wero permitted to contribute as much In excess as their charity prompted them to.

In the front parlor of the building there was a chocolate and cake table, from which each visitor was served with refreshments. There was also a table on which many pretty baskets, the work of the little unfortunates of the Institution, were offered for sale, and wore liberally patronized. In the afternoon and also in the evening an entertainment was furnished by some volunteer talent, assisted by the children. In patriotic songs and recitations, and also kindergarten exercises. Miss Little accompanied them on 10s pianos a Police Commissioners Who Cannot Answer Civil Service Questions Mr.

Worth's Debut at the Union League Club The Rev. Dr. McConnell and Dr. Abbott. Police Commissioner Fred Grant said facetiously at tho Brooklyn Union League club banquet last night that New York city gave a big majority for McKlnley because the people hoped ho would win and provide oiDces for the commissioners elsewhere.

This was In faint recognition of the fact that some of tho good citizens of New York do not speak as kindly of the commissioners nowadays as when they wore first appointed. The frequent three handed rows in the board commissioners impugning each other's veracity the restoration to their official positions of officers who were hastily and Improperly removed, but who could have been permanently removed, had the commissioners exorcised good Judgment in trying them; the failure of the reform police to dlsco ver the perpetrators of several nvurders; Mr. Roosevelt's reckless habit of characterizing his critics as friends of the criminal classes; tho absence from their posts of commissioners Indulging freely in the lecture habit, have combined to render tho commissioners unpopular in circles which once commended them. Truth is often spoken in a Jest and In the light of the New York police board's Interesting record their are some people who will take Commissioner Grant seriously. A few days ago the board was almost paralyzed by the information that several men had been appointed patrolmen who had not honestly passed the civil service examination.

It was learned that these dlshon est officials bad been appointed on "crooked" papers fur nished in advance of examinations. The police are still hunting for the men who fur nlshed the papers. Yesterday the police board decided to elitni nate certain questions from the civil service examination papers. The character of these questions is Indicated in a statement made to the board by Commissioner Parker. It is well worth reading, and it will be of special tnterest to Brooklyn policemen who have complained of the questions submitted to them in our civil service examinations.

"I have not paid much attention to the snb Ject matter of these examinations." said Mr. Parker to the board. "I have left all that to you, Mr. President, because of your great knowledge of civil service affairs. Citizens have spoken to me about the poor class of men that are getting on.

Some of the physl cal specimens have puzzled me. I wondered how they got on. I have been told that some of the men are under height. There Is an aipparent deterioration of the men on the late lAts. Now, the city information has been cut out of the examination.

"Another change made was to eliminate the letter copying and substitute history, geogra pny ana questions on tne government. I gan hardly llnd one or these questions of practical account for a patrolman. Some of them Colonel Grant and I myself could not answer, He could not tell about some of the battles asked about. 'On what body of water is It makes little difference to me whether a man who Is going for a burglar knows where Chicago Is. Then there are questions like 'Which were the first states to secede from the 'Name the states east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio.

I think that all this is unnecessary. The striking out of the copying and city Infor mation has been to some extent. for the difficulty in getting city applicants There was another question In one of the examinations 'Who was President of the Southern confederacy from 1C1 to 1865? which someone answered 'Name the principal city of What good is that? 'How aay the constitution of the Unit ed States be How many can an swer that? I notice that a large proportion of the new men before me on trial days only have extra intelligence In the line of Inventing ex cuses. Some change should be made." 'The questions are only such as you would expect an American boy to answer," said Mr. Roosevelt.

"We appoint a good many foreign bwn men and to test their intelligence they should know five New England states." The questions which Mr. Roosevelt said an American boy should be able to answer were questions which Commissioner Parker said he and Colonel Fred Grant could 'not answer. This being the case, Mr. Roosevelt evidently expects a higher order of knowledge from a patrolman than Is found In his brother com missioners. There is no doubt that many Amerlcan school boys can answer questions which applicants for appointment on the po lice force could not answer offhand.

If the civil service examinations should be open to school hcys but little time would be required In recruiting a numerically formidable cadet corps. County Clerk Jacob Worth made his first visit to th! Brooklyn Union 'League club last night, and was greeted with applause as he made his appearance in the lobby. Ho was very cordially received by club members generally. During the evening, at tho request of many of the Leaguers, Mr. Worth placed his signature on the backs of souvenir menus under the signatures of John Sherman and Mayor Strong.

Among those who personally welcomed him to the club were William Berri, Judge Goodrich, General Stewart L. Woodford, Charles A. Moore, Benjamin Estes, Commissioner Bryan, Congressman Wilson, Lieutenant Governor elect Woodruff, and in fact most of the prominent members of the club. Mayor Wurster and. ex Mayor Schler en were kept busy entertaining Mayor Strong and John Sherman with sparkling repartee and interesting personal reminiscences, yet they found time to turn approving smiles on the many club men who made their way to Mr.

Worth's table to shako his hand. The mayor and ex mayor were plainly pleased with the hearty welcome extended to the county clerk. Late In the evening he forced to respond to a general demand for a speech, which was interrupted by vigorous applause. It was made quite clear to him that he was not in an enemy's country, and tho only tlmo tbat he looked sad during the evening was when ex Maj or Schleren said re gretfully in the course of a much applauded speech: "The only thing that made me feel bad was that Charley Schleren could not be at home and pull off his coat to work for McKlnley." Mr. Worth's debut in club life was a mark ed success.

Tbe Union League club is a very hospit able body and Mr. William Berri is Its high priest. His fondness for tho society of mayors was made the subject of pleasant badinage last night, but ho took his Innlncs after Mayor Strong had facetiously alluded a dinner which he sat down to with Mr. Berri and Mayor Wurstor In Atlanta. "I don't see why any uncomplimentary ref erences should bo made to that dinner," said Mr.

Berri. "I found the mayor of New York living in a car outside of Atlanta. I hired a room for him and his friend, and sat them down to a good dinner. Their appetites were good, tho bill was large and I paid it." Mayor Strong threw up both hands in acknowledgment of tho hit, and in his merriment nearly rolled off his chair.

Macmonnies' to Have the Dead Hero's Accouterments. Tho family of the late General Slocum have sent to Sculptor Macmcnnles photographs, daguerreotypes, clothes, uniforms, gauntlets, saddles and other belongings of the general, to aid the artist in designing the equestrian staituo of Ibe hero, which has been ordered under act of the legislature by the City of Brooklyn.

Mr. Macmonnles Is also to have from the war department ait Washington an assortment of accotiterments used by major generals In war times, swords, sashes, hats, shcuider straps, etc. The general had grown stout in his later years and his last complete uniform was the one in which he was burled. With his earlier uniforms and clothes and the death mask, which was taken, it Is believed that Mr. Macmonnies will he able to make a correct portrait.

The artist also has photographs of the horse he rode, both standing still and cantering. The movement to have a s'atuo of the general was started by the late Goneral Woodward, who called together sevoral prominent citizens.

After some discussion, the mayor and Park Commissioner Squlers suggested that the statu bo purchased by the city rather "than by private subscription.

A New Departure by the Dramatic Society in Producing a :ir.c Instead of Giving a Shakspearean Revival A Large Audience and Good Work. Tho Acadomy of Music was filled from the front orchestra seats to the doors last evening with an enthusiastic audience, on the occasion of the production by tho Amaranth of Mr. James Mortimer's comedy. In three acts, "Gloriana." It was tho begin nlng of tho second quarter century of the soci ety's existence and the waits betwen the acts were utilized by much visiting from box to box and in the body of the houso by the mem bers who had not met since last spring In the old play house.

The audience was a brilliant one and everything passed off smoothly. The comedy Is strongly farcical. Fltz Joy celyn of the British foreign office has bad a flirtation with Mrs. Lovering, the Gloriana of tno piay, and Gloriana has been guilty of a little Indiscretion In her infatuation for the handsome young attache, for she had as much as pledged herself to accept Count Evltoff. a fiery Russian diplomat.

Fitz Joycelyn, who seems to be an altogether graceless young person as to his truthfulness, Is obliged to lie from beginning to end of the play, on account of his desire to get rid of Gloriana after he has met a pretty and charming heiress, Jessie Chadwlck, daughter of a wealthy retired tanner. The Inevitable complications take place. Fltz Joycelyn takes the part of his sen ant, Spinks, to escape from Gloriana, and Splnks becomes Fltz Joycelyn, in which guise he does some lying himself, not only to get his master out of various entanglements, but also on his own account, for Gloriana's maid, Kitty, whom he has met at a watering place, appears to torment him. Splnks, also under the name of Fitz Joycelyn, meets Count Evkoff in the apartments of Mrs. Lovering before the count has discovered tbat Gloriana had been flirting.

Through a long delayed letter from an anonymous writer the count learns of Glori ana flirtation in a certain dress at Brighton pier with Fitz Joycelyn. He pulls the nose of the astounded Spinks and challenges him to light on the field of Waterloo, with short swords and sabers. Of course Spinks does not stir away from England and the count returns with two foot tall Russians and proceeds to carve up Spinks. Kitty comes to the rescue by fibbing. She wears the dress that her mistress wore at the Brighton pierand, not having been born yesterday, as she expresses her sharpness, she proceeds to tell the count that she was the woman who wore the dress on tho pier.

Gloriana and the count are reconciled and they marry and so do Splnks and Kitty and so do Fltz Joycelyn and Jessie Chadwlck, after a short period of agony wnen nts tather ln law told him to get out of the house, under the supposition that Fitz Joycelyn was Splnks. ro b. G. Acton, as Fltz Joycelyn be longs great praise as he was the mainspring of the action. Ho both looked and acted the part admirably.

His part required versatility and agilty and in no way did he show weak ness. The character' was finely outlined and consistently carried out. Alfaretta Schenck gave, too, a fine rendering of the part of Gloriana. Her stage presence is admirable and there is an individuality about her that made her acting something like a new cre ation of the part. If there was any criticism to De made of Miss Schenck In thiB nart it was the laok of magnetism.

The original conception of the part is a character not known to American soil or seen very rarely here, while It is a common one in France. Prob ably only an actres cf long experience can give the fine French flavor of adventuresome ness. As Count Evitoff. Harry C. Edwards.

who returned to the Amaranth staee after a year's absence, was the life of the plaj His make up and his height, combined with his stage experience, made every minute he was on the stage a pleasant one. William Phelps Macfarlane, who has been appointed to the post of Instructor in elocu tion and oratory at Adelphi colleste since the last play by the Amaranth, assumed the nart of Timothy Chadwlck. father of Fitz Jovcelvn's fiance. Nothing eouCd have been finer than the way lie represented tho retired tanner. Every social blunder was brought out in the proper light and in the last act, where the business man, outraged in his most sensitive point, hit love for his daughter, drives Fitz Joveelvn from the house, he displayed true dramatic art.

uregory fattl as Fltz Joycelyn's valet, maintained his reputation won years ago in similar parts, although he was at times under considerable disadvantage on account of an unfortunate accident. Grace A. Green as Kitty, Mrs. Loverlng'smaid, scored a distinct hit. Her enunciation was distinct and the British lower class treatment of the English language was admirably given.

In her acting she was vivacious and entirely adequate to the part. Gertrude Cartland as Jessie Chadwlck was a type of the pretty young English girl, and her acting was natural and Ingenuous. Franklin S. Brady as Richards, Mrs. Lover ing's servant, was properly unobtrusive and yet stately.

Martin A. Otto as Baron Kroni koff and A. N. Shideler as Major Stonldeff of the Russian arrgy were sufficiently terrifying in appearance and their appearance created sensation. Taken altogether the play was admirably done.

The cJst was as follows: Leopold Fltz Joycelyn s. G. Acton, Jr. Timothy Chadwlck William Phelps Macfarlane Count Evltoff Harry C. Edwards Baron Kronikoff Martin A.

Otto Major Stonldeff A. N. Shideler Splnks Oregon Patti Richards Franklin EroHv Mrs. Lovering Alfaretta Schenck Jessie Chadwlck Gertrude Carland Kitty Grace A. Green The next performance by the Amaranth Dramatic society at the Academy of Music will be on December IP.
