thv will trpat the subject of The Great Financier Found Health Eagle reporter: "I brought niy family out here In tho belief that I would have no trouble In placing my children in one of the Flat bush schools. But when I called on Principal Townseud of tho East Broadway school, he showed me a long list of names of children whom ho was obliged to turn away because there was no room for them, and he toid me that the same overcrowded condition existed at the Rogers and New York avenue branches. Had I known this in advance I would not have moved away from my old home. My children arc now living away from home in order to go to school. But that is a most objectionable arrangement, for small children should always be under the supervision of their parents." Some months ago the board of education Order From Judge Barnard on the Colored School Question.

HE OVERRULES A DEMURRER. in Paine's Celery Compound. Jamaioa School Board Will Appeal A. Case Parallel With That of John Cisco, Who Refused to Pay a Fine. More Arrests to Be Made Lawyers Ready to Defend the Cases Free of Ccyit.

(Special to the Eagle.) Jiunalca, L. March 28 Henry A. Moa fWt, counsel for the board ot education of the Ullage, received last night an order from Justice Barnard overruling the demurrer Inter rJtq6ed by the board against the grant ot writ 'it alternative mandamus compelling them to fallow colored children to attend the same schools as the white children. This is In the '4SWU known case of John T. Jackson and oth Jjyers against the board of education brought duces the strength and nervous energy, especially of persons employed constantly Indoors.

The need the absolute necessity of a genuine invigorator at this spring season has impressed itself on the attention of all thinking people. In the famous laboratory of Dartmouth school. Prcfessor Edward E. PhelpB, M. LL.U., discovered the formula of Paine's celery compound, a remedy that has become the standard nerve restorer, blood purifier, and strengthener from one end of the country to the ether, a preparation that stands unrivalled as the medicine that makes people well.

It is a fact much commented upon that men and women of natioual reputation and prominence, like Gen. Beals, State Treas. Colvln of New York. Mr. Carlisle's private secretary.

Mayor McShane of Montreal, Rev. Fr. Ouellet, Com. Howell, ex Minister to Austria John M. Francis, and a host of others who are careful what they employ when sick, and have the amplest opportunities for finding out what is best, have of their own accord sent letters describing fully their permanent recovery from rheumatism, heart weakness, sleeplessness, debility, kidney troubles and diseases of the stomach and liver.

In all these cases Paine's celery compound was the one remedy that was able to completely and permanently bring back health, make poor blood again rich and pure, and regulate and build up the nervous system when weakened and deranged. Charitable Work in the Northern Industrial Wood Yard. A SELF SUPPORTIN'G ENTERPRISE Statistics Submitted by Mr. Gunnison at Yesterday's Charities Conference. Miss Buzelle on Work Among the Poor by the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities J.

W. Kelgaard Tells Some Results of the City Lot Farms. Another of the charity conferences recently Inaugurated in the eastern district took place yesterday afternoon at the home of frs. John Fuchs, 545 Bedford avenue, with a large number present, principally women. Mrs.

Will iam Vogel presided. The subject ot wood yards, which was to be treated by Mr. MacDotigal, was in bis absence discussed by Herbert F. Cunnison. In the course of his address Mr.

Gunnison gave some statistics of the Northern Industrial wood yard work. He said that the amount paid to beneficiaries between May 1. 1891, and March 1, 189G, was $12,146.17, or Ave times as much as had been received In contributions. The number of days' work given In the yard had been on outside Jobs. 1,100, while the men sent to permanent positions numbered 150.

The number of different men employed was by the week, 65, and by the day 0. The average amount paid out per week was $00. The sales from May 1, 1891, to March 1. 1896. 8.512 loads, amounted to $36, 402.14.

The yard. Mr. Gunnison said, was at present self supporting, over a year was being paid to needy families. Remunera tion was altogether by piece worK in tne yaru Three dollars per cord were paid for sawing or splitting pine or oak wood. An able bodied man accustomed to work could earn $1.50 per day cutting' wood.

One not accustomed to such work could earn from 40 cents to Si nor day after a few days' practice. Often, however, owing to the number of applicants, only a few hours' work could be given except In special cases. As a rule, the professional beggar did not apply for aid at the wood yard. No profit on the wont was expectea ana alter paying the necessary running expenses the balance went to those employed. This touching story was told by the speak er: One Monday morning a young man came to the Northern Industrial wood yard and went to work splitting wood.

Suddenly he fainted. His companions assisted him to his feet and he went to work again. Three times he fainted before he gave up. He was sent out for breakfast, returned, and was employed for about a month and then was assisted In obtaining a position which he holds to day. He stated that he had a light lunch Eriday night, before coming to the wood yard and from that time until Monday was without food.

On the Saturday previous he was very hungry and resolved to beg. He went to sev eral places, but each time his pride got tne better of him and he asked for work Instead of food. On Sunday his appetite was gone. On Monday morning he heard of the wood yard. He has since stated that he has never passed South Eighth street without a feeling of gratitude for the aid given him in time of sore need, and when last seen he was devising some means of helping his fellow em ployes.

Before concluding Mr. liunnlson added that a new system had been introduced by which wood from the yard was to be sold in boxes at various grocery stores. MiB8 L. M. Buzelle of Bedford avenue was the next speaker.

She said that the workrooms of the bureau had grown out of a great necessity. Miss Buzelle continued: "In the year 1881 Mr. Buzelle came to the Brooklyn bureau of charities as its general secretary. He found in it two departments of work a registry and a group of friendly visitors to the poor. At that time the poor people them selves were not expected to come at all to the office of the bureau, the only personal contact with them being through the friendly visitors.

But It was found impossible to prevent their coming and only possible to listen to their story of distress and try to neip tnem to pian a way out oi It. They came in rapidly in creasing numbers as one and another felt their troublH was beine understood, out ot tnis need grew the work exchange in 1882, when oil iizens were invited to make application ior workers, and these in need of work were invited to apply for it at the bureau of charities office. A wood yard supplying temporary work for men was opened in 1884 and a laun dry for women In latter was estac llshed on the general plan of the one in Nmv ark, N. J. The chairman of the committee rtift first vear lt was designed stated it was In tended (1) to furnish Brooklyn people with a place where good work will be done In a wholesome, cleanly manner; (2) to provide competent women with employment, (3) to educate and Instruct the incompetent ones These three aims were still the alms of the two laundry training schools now carried on hv the hureau of charities one at By scner marhorn street and the other at 1,660 Fulton street.

But some women came to the office who were not strong enough to do laundry work while others came who were too un cleanlv or too unreliable to do it. They came from the Jail, from the street or from homes broken up by their own mefllciency or wrong doinc. In July. 1886. the first workroom was opened as an experiment.

It was a great sat lsiacTion iv una timi. il liic the case, and that other cities, after examining its work, recognized its value and estab lished workrooms on the Brooklyn plan or some modification of it, among them Cincin nati oranee. N. NewDurgn, at Louis, and New York city. There are three workrooms in Brooklyn one, the original one.

at 69 Schermerhorn another at 1,660 TThiitnn street the third at liy finn street begun in 1894." Miss Buzelle then proceeded to speak on the uses of the workrooms In a vftrw I erestlne way as affording a test of employment and a willingness on the part of women to work. Solos were contribvrted by Miss Meyers and Mr. Heaton of Christ church choir, Bedford avenue. W. Kelgaard was th9 next speaker and his subject was the cultivation of city lots.

rtr, ooid that some of the women, he realized. in the audience could teach him a lesson In the work of charity. He spoke of the tendency of the times among country and farming people to move to the cities. Ninety per cent, of the people who lived on farms were inclined that way. This was a peculiar, as well as a sad fact, because our cities were already overcrowded ana oy iurtner over crowding the population was only made poor Ra expressed his appreciation of chari table work, but a detestation ot red tape, because oftentimes men were disgusted with the difficulties they encountered before they were assisted.

In the work of the Cooper nirm inhnr bureau, of which he was in charge. he found that 5,000 applications for work had been made last year. Mr. Kelgaard then explained the city lot plan by which 2,000 acres of land within trolley distance of New York had been laid out for the use of the poor peo i Thv had last vear eighty four poor families on the land. It was found unprofitable in reat number oi cases, ana, oi course Instruction had to be given.

There were, how ever, some bright examples of success. One man' with a family of four, who was given three acres, made 542U at tne ena oi a year. There were certain people wno uvea, on cnar i ity and he could not do anything for them, Mchols, general superintendent of the Brooklvn bureau of charities, was the next SDeaker. He said that the letting of the land in the Twenty sixth ward was a success, although they had not got to work until May last vear. So far lt had paid expenses and they wished to continue the work.

The matter of paying a superintendent was expensive and a sum of about S900 would bo very acceptable at the present time for the purpose of carrying on the work. DANCED TO THE MUSIC OF THE PIPES, For the tlrst time this year the strains ot the Scottish bagpipes were heard In Arion hall. Wall street, near Broadway, last even ing the occasion being the annual ball of the Caledonian club of Kings and Queens counties.

By combining Mb personal bank account with that of the Sunday Bchool of the GrnveHend Iloformed church, of which he was treasurer for many years, the late Dr.

Richard L. Van Kloek, one time a prominent member of the board health of Gravesond, has caused much trouble, and a question which the conrtu may aBked to decide. John S. Bennett, who buc ceeded Dr. Van Kleek as treaimrer of the school, has iu his possennion S761.57.

which he withdrew from a Brooklyn bank, and which iva on deposit to the credit of Dr. Van Kleek as treasurer of the school. Mrs. Van Kleek claims that $71.57 only of this amount ia due the school, as shown by her husband's books, and the balance. $690, is her tihe made a demand on Treasurer Bennett for the amount and he flatly refused to hand tho amount over unless so ordered by a vote of the school.

In order to leorn if it "iH tho desire of the majority of the members of the school to retain the money, as some are reported believe they have a legal right to do. or give to Mrs. Van Kleek. as the pastor of the church, the Hov. P.

V. Van Buskirk. sayB ifl right, a meeting will be held in the church Monday evening. April 6. That there will be large attendance and an interesting meeting there appears little doubt, as the matter is receiving attention not only from the residents of Gravesend, but from the surrounding places.

For many years Dr. Van Kleek was a prom inent memoer, an earnest woi Ktu aiiu a nuerai contributor to the Gravesend Reformed ohurch, the members of which now worship iu a pretty, modern fcrick church facing on Neck road. Dr. Van Kleok was a member, as was his wife, long before tho new church was built. For thirty two years be acted as treasurer of the Sunday school and not once in that time did he fail to make a regular report of the amount of money be had received as veil as his disbursements.

He always invited an inspection of his books and appeared to take much pride iu the manner in which they were kept up. Members knew the doctor to be an honest, straightforward man. and told him that he need not be so particular to always show his books. However, he insisted in doing so. as he said he did not wish his wife to have any trouble should death come to him suddenly.

His books he wab very particular about, but not so with his bank account. After he had opened an account in the Dime Savings bank in this city in the name of the Sunday school ho often made deposits of his own money, as he Baid to avoid the trouble of keeping two accounts, and thou relying on his books to tell what part was due the church. On December IS ho died after an illness of several weeks. He left a will but no bequest to the cnurch. This was somewhat of a surprise to lnnny, as they had expected that he would remember the church, in which he was so prominent, with a legncy.

After his death Mrs. Van Kleek made out a statement for the school funds from her hus band's books, and then invited the officials to inspect the books to see that there was no error. By this statement 671.57 was due the Bchool. It was a larger balanoo than many expected. It is Baid that when it was decided to select Dr.

Van Kleek's successor Mrs. Van Kleek suggested the name of John S. Bennett and he was elected. All things proved satisfactory, however, until Mrs. Van Kleek went to the bank to draw the SG'OO and was informed that as it was deposited in the name of her husband, as treasurer of the school, it could not bo paid to her.

She then asked Mr. Bennett to sign the money over to her, which he refused to do, and, as she says. withdrew the deposit and placed it in another bank, the name of which she did not care to tell an Eagle representative. Mrs. Van Kleek, who lives in a handsome house on Neck road not far distant from the church, was seen this morning.

She waa much surprised to learn that the matter had become public and expressed a regret that it could not have been settled at once and without any publicity. She said, "The affair has made me ill. The money in question is mine and there is no reason why Mr. Bennett should withhold it from me. It is very foolish for anyone to say that the money was left as a legacy by my husband to the church and that he took this method of surprising tho members.

He did not leave anything to the church and did not intend to, for if he had he wotild have mentioned it in his will or spoken to me about it before his death, as he was ill for some weeks and often spoke of things he wished done. He alwaj's took a great interest in the church and if he knew that I was having this trouble he would rise up out of his grave. There is. I understand, all kinds of rumors anoat ana some ot wmcn 1 am very sure are doing usagreatinjustice. Dr.

Van Kleek was treasurer of the school for twenty six years and during all that time the church was willing to be guided by his books, and I know of no reason why they should not now. My husband's books agree exactly with those of Secretary Lake. I was very much surprised by tho action of Mr. Bennett in rofusing to give me the money. I feel sure it must nil come out right in the end.

I do not wish to misjudgo 3Ir. Bennett He probably thinks he isright. I have decided to depend on the executive board to see justice done to the memory of my husband and I am obliged to wait tor their decision at the meeting to be held weok after next. Bona of my friends have advised me to take counsel and fight for my rights, but I do not wish to, unless compelled to. Of course, if I do engage the services of a lawyer, I shall employ one with a reputation." Mrs.

Van Kleek has served as president of the Ladies' Missionary society and hlled other positions of prominence in the church. The Rev. Mr. Van Bnskirk, who has been pastor of the church lor the past nine years, save ho considers tho monov duo Mr. Van Kleek and that the trouble will be settled at the meeting.

Said he: "I do not soe why the doctor should have been auito bo careless in conducting his bank account, bnt I feel certain that all will end well. The Gravesend Reform church Sunday school numbers about three hundred and fifty members, John S. Bennett, the present treasurer, has been a member of tho church for a number of years, has held office therein and is considered one of the pillars. He iB a brother of ex Supervisor Bennett and is reputed to be wealthy. He lives in a fine house on Kings Higiway.

When seen to day he did not wish to discusB the matter. He said ho had withdrawn the monov on denosit in the bank to the credit of tho treasurer of the church and had placed it in another bank. He had been asked for the monev bv Sirs. Van Kleek, but he did not inteuu to rub it iu anyouu iwiuuui somo action by the society he represents. hen asked if a meeting conld not have been held several week ago and some action taken to re lievo Mrs.

The southern halt of thi ward Is crowing faster than any ulher ward in thf city and the assessed valuation la incrt faster there than any uther ward and of a richt school facilities should be furnished for the Inhabitants. it you will make a special effort, we believe it is possible to have this school opened for tlw fall term, hut unless this special effort Is made and the school ready IW the tall term, this section of the city will be absolutely desolate so far as school facilities are concerned, and those children who are enabled to go to sclwjol will be only those who have sutliclent strength to take the long walks ot" from a mile to a mile and a half, as. even If thair parents could afford It, it Is Impossible Co ride from this sectirm of the ward to the Kust Broadway school. Of those who have the strength so lo take the long walk, as stated before, only a part can be accommodated, and, therefore, the need is exceedingly pressing. We feel that no other section of the city Is so situated as this section, and we therefore respectfully imiwrtune you to at once give this matter your best and prompt consideration.

Adv, Prominent among the New England men whose brains and energy have helped to make the western states rich and powerful is Gen eral David T. Beals, president of the Union national bank of Kansas City. Successful in his many enterprises, he lives to day in a fine mansion at the corner of Independence and Wabash aves. The work and the responsibility Incumbent on the president of ko important a banking in stitution as the Union national would endanger the sturdiest health. General Beales' clear headedness and good sense were as manifest in the choice of a remedy as in his business enter prises.

He strengthened his tired nervous system by the use of Paine's celery compound. Its invigorating, health giving effects Justified his expectations, and showed in bis own case the remarkable power of this much discussed remedy for thoroughly restoring and strengthening the "run down" system. "I found Paine's celery compound an agreeable tonic and soothing to the nerves," says General Beals. These are the concise words of commendation characteristic of the conservative business man and the influential banker, who has learned to weigh well his words. The scanty sunlbght and the stagnant, used up air of living rooms during the winter re August, 1894.

It has given several successful sociables recently and these have added financial strength to the club. Altogether the outlook for the club is very bright. There were about 150 couples present at last night's gathering, and some of the young people, both boys and girls, were in Highland dress. Music was provided by Professor Burns and Piper Peter Bowman. The officers and others in charge were: John S.

Bay Shore, L. March 28 As the result of a fracas between J. Robbins and Le Grange V. Cartwright, rival dealers In bicycles, a wheel, which Is the subject ot dispute, has been seized on a search warrant by Constable last September, when several colored children presented themselves at the white schools and were denied admission. The relators applied to Judge Cullen for a writ of peremptory mandamus.

This was denied and an alternative mandamus was granted, but this was subsequently set aside on the ground that it did not state any acts Justifying relief asked. A second writ of alternative mandamus was granted, to "which a demurrer was interposed by the counsel for the board. When this came up for argument the defence found that a number of new affidavits were attached to the petition, which Judge Barnard held to be sufficient as to facts needed In granting the writ. The following is a copy of the order of Justice Barnard: Considered as a pleading the alternative writ states rauts sufficient to show a right to the belief asked for. It is sufficiently addressed to the defendant.

The alternative writ recites that a motion was heard for a peremptory writ against the board of education of Jamaica which was denied, and that instead thereof an alternative writ was permitted. This alternative writ, after reciting the above facts, commands the performance of the duty Imposed under' the general requirement that "you permit and allow" the children who are colored to go to Hchool in the district where they reside. The relatormiirut have stated eonriselv the facts on which lie based his claim fur relief in the alternative writ, hut he did not do so. He annexed several affidavits to the writ and served them therewith and based his demand for relief upon the affidavits annexed as well as upon the other proceedings recited in that writ. The facts nmv as well he stated in that wav as in any other.

If nfllduvits are part of the writ the relief sought fur should be granted, it is merely a prejudice which keeps a colored child from the school lounded for his white associates. It is a foolish remembrance of the condition of slavery by which the colored race were lleld to be inferior to the white race. The prejudice over the remembrance ought to disappear. If the board of education will visit the citv of l'migh ieepsie they will see how fully the colored child and the white child harmonize, and how well the colored child keeps up with the general scholarship. The demurrer is overruled with leave to answer in twenty days on payment of costs.

In the meantime Truant Officer Wright is preparing to make several more arrests of colored people who have refused to send their children to other than the white schools. Foremostin the listare Stephen White, who has two children; John Cisco, who has two others beside Jacob, whose case was published in the Eagle of Thursday; Joseph White one and Jacob Minfield. It is expected that all of these parents will be arrested next Monday. Justice B. F.

Wood said this morning that John Cisco's fine had been paid. Cisco said this morning to an Eagle reporter: "I have never paid any fine and do not intend to pay any. I and my father and mother have paid taxes in Jamaica for eighty years, yet am denied a place in the school near my house, while Irishmen, Italians and Dutchmen who have been here only three months, can go In these, although covered with dirt. I am a man of means in business here and yet on September 3, when my three children were sent to school where my neighbors children attend, they were put out and sent home crying. The colored school is three fourth of a mile further away than white School No.

3, and it is in the low swampy portion of the village and they are not taught as well as the childrpi of the white schools." erthe arrest of Cisco he has received let from prominent lawyers offering to de him free of cost. An appeal will probity be taken from the fine imposed upon him ySiursday. IN LONG ISLAND CHURCHES. TOPICS FOR TO MORROW'S SERMONS AND HOURS OF WORSHIP.
