A parade preceded the meeting, and the ha'A was filled wilti 800 people. Henrv A. Reeves presided and succinctly stated the claims of the Democratic party, and afterward introduced the speakers of the evening.

They included E. F. Pelletreau. candidate for Assembly; Townse.nd Scudder, the nominee for Congress, who made the speech of the evening, and was well received; Chandler E. Oakes of N.

and Judge William B. Green. To night the speakers go to Bay Shore. in a season. "For the present state things." eontlnu the speaker, "woman's uriosLy, which has been her curse since the "cation, is responsible.

Women want to find if the drama is really as bad as the. critics tate and they take husbands and sweethearts iloiig with them to see tile play. The remedy ics in women's hands, for managers would dare to present plays that antagonize vonien." A couple of speakers from the floor expressed strong views on the drama of t'he. day. Tin.

discu. sion on music was ied by Mrs. Theodore Sutro, the chairman. The improvement of the standard of music in the United and the lies: place to study the science of music wert, the questions presented. Mis 2unie limis.

a member of the fivitas. Urban uid other Brooklyn clubs and a delegate from the National Association of Musical Societies, was heard with lute res: in a few remarks on music for children. She held that little folks' musical education should begin at an early age; thai, in their vocal training it was important to always hear good singing, and that music for children should he good and of such a character as to appeal to their tastes. Mrs. John K.

Creevey, a iirooklyn club woman, thought America offered exceptional opportunities for the study of music. Mrs. Marie Merrick, another Brooklynite. spoke ot ihe bearing of music upon morality. Mrs.

Clara X. Korn and Mrs. S. Louise Down.3, Doth of Manhattan, also spoke on composer ind musical compositions. "The Evolution of Women's Legal Status" was the subject of a half nour's discussion, Mrs.

"Tbe Advantages of the Study of Shakspeare" were upheld by several members ot the Shakspeare oluis. with Mrs. M. R. Slltfby of Manhattan as chairman.

Mra. Edwin Atwell of the Brooklyn Woman's Club and president of the Mount Holy oke Alumnae, said that the presentation a couple works ago of a repertoire of Shaks pearian Piays, to crowd 1 bouses in a theater In this borough showed that "the play's the thing." But it was a question whether the general public wats more greatly beneitited by a repr vn ration of serious drama or amusing farce. Millions or people iiad lived upright lives and d.e.l respectably who had never read Shak spivtre or seen him represented on the stage. Mrs. Anna Randall Dir 1 claimed that the study of Shnii.spcare was the equivalent ot a liberal education.

Mrs. Frames Hardin He.ss gave it ns her opinion that Shakspeare was not a dramatist, but an adapter. He studied his public and was a clever manager, in which respect Mr. Daly resembles Mrs. Nathan, president of the Consumers' League at N.r.v York, gave a detailed account of the work and pro greets of that organization.

The principles of the Rainy Day Club were set forth by Mrs. Arnold Schrain, one of the mom bens, who extended an invitation to the club women to attend the nexc meeting of the club, on the first Wednesday afternoon in Decemi er. A pleasant incident of the proceedings wa the presentation of a handsome pin. bearing; Shakspt are's coat of ami's, to Mrs. Helmuth, by Mrs.

on behalf of the Mary Ordett Shakspeare Club. Mrs. Helmuth paid a deserved tribute to Mrs. .1. ('.

Officers Catterson and Fleming Bun Down, the Thieves Witb. the Aid ot a Horse and Wagon and Recover a Quantity of Silverware, Some Cash and Pawn Tickets Representing Other Stolen Property. (SDecial to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. November 4 Jotm Miller, aged 24 years, and Roger Smith, aged 27 years, both of Eas'c Houstoa street, Manhattan, were arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of breaking into house of Mrs. "William Dykes, corner of Union aDd Shelto'n avenues, and stealing a quantity of silverware.

The men forced an entrance into the house about yesterday afternoon by prying open a rear window during the absence of tie family. Wb lle they were ransacking tJe louse they were seen by Miss Manute Durland, who lives to an adjoining house, and Efcie at once sent word to police headquarters. When Officers Catterson and Fleming arrived the men had fled and the officers gave chase up Hillside avenue, pressing a horse and wagon into their service. They finally overtook both men. Whom lhey found hiding in a clump of busbes at the road side on Highland avenue, near Grand street.

During the chase the tiieves had thrown away a silver milk pitcher and drinking cup and a lot of silver spoons token from the Dykes house, all of which were recovered. Upon searching the prisoners at the station house the officers found upon them $50 in money, a silver Watch and dhain and two gold breastpins. Baiwn tickets were found upon them for articles stolen from th house of John C. Acker, on Union avenue, whose house was robbed of $60 in clothing between last Saturday and Tuesday nights, during the ab 1 sence of the family. The officers say that Che I men are oid offenders and it is thought Chat they are the men who have been committing many robberies about here.

The house of Mrs. Carey of Linden street was also entered this week and a quantity of clothing and house hold articles stolen. Persons in this town whose houses Tiave been robbed lately were notified to appear at the Jamaica precinct headquarters and identify the articles in the possession of the officials. The prisoners were taken before Justice Connorton at Long Island City, who held them without bail to appear before the Queens County Grand Jury to answer a charge t)f burglary in the first degree. The police gave a great deal of praise to Miss Durland for the rare courage and presence of mind she showed in running out of her home and notifying tbe officers of fte presence of the burglars.

A. PLAGUE Or OPOSSTJMS. Eastport, L. November 4 The fanners of this locality are now waging a relentless war against oppossums, which have been playing havoc among the poultry. When it was ascertained that oppossums were responsible for thfc nightly raids on the chicken coops plans were immediately completed for bunting the animals with dogs at night.

The method is tc visit the margins of creeks and swampy situations, where the animals live, and to drive them to the trees with hounds. The sportsman is directed to tbe spot by the baying of his hound, and, on reaching it, shoots the oppossum, which is usually found clinging to one of the highest branches. The opossum is a very prolific animal, giving Wrth to from twelve to fifteen young three or more times in the season. They, therefore, increase very rapidly unless constantly hunted by the farmers.

Wives of Well Known Theatrical Managers Discuss trie Advisability of Youag Women Seeking' a Profession on the Stage Placing the Responsibility for the Shortcomings of the Drama of To day. "Standing room only" was the sign that might appropriately nave been placed at then trance to Mendelssohn Hall, llli WVcst Fortieth strciet, Manhattan, while the State Federation of Women's Clubs was in session yesterday afternoon in the course of the third day of the annual convention. Every available inch of room in the parquet and gallery of the assembly hall was occupied, the standees being three deep.

Less than half a dozen men slipped quietly into the back seats, but they were so overshadowed 'by the mass of femininity which constituted tho audience that 'but one speaker. Miss Mary Shaw, was thoughtful enough to acknowledge their presence and address remarks to them as well as to her club sisters. The convention reassembled at 2 but many of the delegates were tardy in reach ing t'neir places owing to their inability to tear themselves away from Delmonieo's, whre a luncheon subsequently described hv Mrs. Helmuth as "magnificent" was tendered to tne omeers and de.egates by Mrs. Washington A.

Roebling in honor of William Tod Helmuth. This was tho most elahn. te affair in the entertainment lino that has taken place during the continuance of the convention. loom, nve nunured women were present a number somewhat in excess of the roster of the official representatives. The iuncheon was ui ins pmK.

Mrs. Helmuth, who had worn a very becoming dark brown gown and bonnet during the morning session, appeared at the luncheon in a handsome imported costume of purple satin appliqued in same sfliade of velvet.

Mrs. Williamson, president of the New Jer el Federation of Women's Clubs, was one of the guests. Her gown was of sapphire blue velvet. Mrs. William B.

Lowe of Atlanta, the president of the general federation, wore a costume composed of black satin and velvet skirt with jetted lace bodice over white satin. The favors were especially daintv and were easerlv snnehr ac i of a very pleasant occasion. ine arranged schedule for the afternoon consisted of discussions on women in law. women in music, Shakspeare clubs and the drama, with a half hour devoted to a presentation of the work of the Consumers' League and reference to the Kaioy Day Club. That this programme was carried out In its entirety between the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock, several speakers being heard on each topic, Is a testimonial to the systematic manner In which the convention "is being conducted under the able leadership of Mrs.

Helmuth. So far as interest was ceotered In the topics or the day the scriptural injunction was followed and the last became the first, the consideration of the drama and the stage arousing the most enthusiasm. So absorbing was the programme that the advocates ot fresh air became dilatory in their supervision of the ventilation of the hah and toward the end of ihf session the atmosphere became uncomfortably warm. Mrs. Alvah Guloo Brown of this borough president or the Chiropean, was chairman of the discussion on the drama and abiy presented the following questions Tor consideration by her coterie or speakers, which included an actress, and the wives or managers playwrights: "Would You Advise a Girl to Go Upon the Stage?" "Are Managers, I'lavwrights Actors or the Public Responsible' for the Shortcomings of the Drama of To day?" A letter was read from Miss Viola Allen expressing the regret that in accordance with the desire of her manager concerning her speaking In public, she was prevented from taking part in the discussion.

The writer spoke of her sympathy with the alms and interests of the federatioii and extended best wishes Tor its success. Mrs. Edward H. Kidder, wife of the playwright and a member or Sonisis, opened the discussion, speaking to the second question. "The stage," she said, "but holds the mirror up to society.

The stage is defiled by the representation of the lives or men and women In real lire. Awrul plays are but a. reflection of what is going on around us Players might claim that they dreaded the effect upon tliemselves of impersoitatiiig characters taken rrom real lire and I think they would have a good case. There would be fewer scavenger mongeirs ir there were not so many carrion crows among the public. When a clean social life obtains we will get good plays.

The social standard are so low that men now take their 'Wives and daughters to see plays that would lead one to infer that the majority of the community was affected with moral strabismus. Do throw the work or reform upon the snge" When a higher standard is set by society' ihe stage will return the compliment x0 speaker at the convention was more vigorously applauded than Mrs. Kidder Miss Mary Shaw made an earnest plea fr the establishment of a national expressing the hope that the General Federation of Women's Clubs would take some action along line.

M. Palmer, wife of the playwright was scheduled to give her i. pinion abou girls going upon the stage. She a.sk.; to be cused. on the p'rea of illness.

A Fine Programme Brilliantly Played at Memorial Hall. The oM proverb about a prophet and his own country was again illustrated at the piaco recital which Paul Tidden gave at Memorial Hall last evening.

The audience represented much of the best musical life of Brooklyn, but it was not nearly so large as the quality of the programme and its interpretation deserved. The recital was one which any artist now in America might be proud to have given and It afforded a fine measure of Mr. Tidden's growth In recent seasons. Three or four years ago Mr. i Kiaen played in tne same ha.l and in his programme were a Beethoven sonata and a Mendelssohn scherzo.

On that occasion ho produced the finer effect and the more distinct impression i the lighter musk: of I which the grace and btiauty were notable. Last night he also played brilliant and grace fill music, including the Chopin study In flat, three Mendelssohn songs and Liszt's second Hungarian rhapsody, but the high moment of the concert was the playing of Beethoven's sonaita, opus 57,, "Appasalonata." especially in tho andante. Written at the period of Beethoven's greatest power this work gets more of the majestic Imagination of the man as It is revealed in ihe syrn phonies than do most of his piano compositions. The playing was masterly. It had first of ail breadth and manliness.

It also had variety and the interpreter showed such loving care for the spirit or the composition, even to the few little decorative touches, that you thought not of the performance', but of the music, and the beauty of the an danto was enhanced by its performance. Even the fact that there was a piano 'ilaying I dance music somewhere In he bulldiiig could not destroy the spell. With the sonata went the Bach prelude and fugue in sharp minor and a Schumann toccata, opus 7, which was also a broad minded and musical Interpretation of a composer for whom the average hearer needs all the help he can got from the interpreter. The second division of the pro I gramme opened with a bright and charming scherzino by Howard Brockway. who in his bit has achieved something more than prom ise; a delicious cradle song by Moszltowskl and the same composer's Italian melody.

which he has de Russlanlzed himself almost completely. They were all daintily and brightly played and in response to an encore the Italian air was repeated. The Field nocturne In A major was played with the requisite ten dtrness ar.d elegance characti Tized tlir? I three Mendelssohn songs. In the selection of which Mr. Tidden departed a little from the beaten concert track.

The Chopin selections were abroad and rich barcarolle, the nocturne In flat and the flat study, the orispness and charm of wliich created a demand for Its repetition. The programme closed with the second Hungarian rhapsody, which was given with breadth and power awl with more variety than as It Is usually read if kh a ir as astonishing display of force than Is some times heard In the treatment of this favorite war hcrse. Then Mr. Tidden returned to the stage and railed out a liis octavo study Kullak ti freshly as If he were at the beginning instead of he end of a trying programme. The virtuosity was no'.

iiile even in tills time of astonishing pianists, and the musicianship and poetry were something rare enough to be grateful for. Mr. Tidden is one of the pianists to be counted with in any estl mate of the concert stage. boTjIticax hotes.
