Grand Opera House. It makes one tbink of old times to visit the ted." Incrfleata lly, during the progress of our conversation, Mr. Coombs alluded to the fact that there are many Chinese In Cuba. Said he: "There are many Chinamen who were brought to Cuba under contract as laborers. These were told that after serving a certain number of years they would be free.

When their terms of service expired they were told that they were free but only free to return to China, unless they could get bandsmen to guarantee their good conduct and the payment of their debts. They found the bondsmen and had to pay well for them. Most of the hotels in Havana are owned by Chinamen. As an evidence of their shrewdness let me give to you an instance. In Villa Clara the farmers were accustomed to raise yams, poultry and a variety of produce for the markets in Havana, all of which was sold at reasonable rates.

Finally the Chinamen took it into tneir heads to go into business. They went heartily lost evening over "A race of Part out to Villa Clara ami surrounded it. Then ridges." The laughter was deserved and will they bought up all that the farmers had to be repeated by the other audiences the sell, after which they proceeded to Havana week.

MUL. PASSED THE BUDGET. Municipal Assembly Makes No Change in the Appropriations for 1899 No More Money for Schools. The Municipal Assembly yesterday after noon, after a wrangle of an hour and a half, i adopted without change the budget for lb90 as prepared by the Board of Estimate.

Tbe members of the Board of Aldermen I for the most part showed themselves un familiar or entirely ignorant of the charter's M. provisions under which they are obliged to do their work and they were accordingly hard oo teadh. President Guggenheimer had difficulty in making them discuss matters pertinent to I'he meeting, but finally, cn Coun 7 iu a i cilman McG'arry motion, the budget was yas sed by a vote of 64 to 15. Councilman Leich voted against it, alleging that Brook 1 iyn did not receive equitable weatment either in the matter of the education of her chil dren or the care of her streets. Aldermen Stewari, Wentz and Warer also voted against adoption.

Aid. Wentz said his children had been admitted to the schools only through influence exercised by him. Aid. Wiaifer appeared again with his pro 1 position to put back the $9,000,000 for school sites and new schools asked for by the Board of Education, but stricken out of the budget by the Board of Estimate. The alderman had discovered, however, tbat the Municipal As I i emibly has no power to add to t(ae budget to tne mDi and there fonOW8 a set of compli aod he, therefore, offered a resolution re cations In which Arthur and Alfred chase in all the world.

JOHN COURTNEY. President. a. 'it. Bauer, secrerary.

The Ex Congressman Has Spent Twenty five Winters in Cuba Interesting Information Concerning the Kind of Troops Which Should Be Sent There "Immunes" That Are Not Immune The Lesson Taught by Our Military Experiences at Home. William J. Coonvbs was without doubt one of the ablest Congressmen sent from this state to the House of Representatives in many years. Yesterday the Eagle referred editorially to the fact that largely because of his foresight, sagacity as a business man, his integrity and earnest advocacy of the right as he saw It, the government is to receive $124,000,000 from the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads in payment of federal claims, instead of the $35 300.000 which Congress was willing to accept as a full settlement of the' government's claims. That achievement alone entitles him to the respect of his fellow citizens from one end of the country to the other.

But Mr. Coombs performed other public duties of lesser magnitude equally well. In some states such a man would have been retained in the public service until the end of his days of efficiency, but in Brooklyn he was permitted to retire to private life, and since his retirement there has not been a man on the congressional delegation from Kings County of anything like his ability. In connection with this statement, however, it is but fair to say that Mr. Coombs was not a candidate for re election, yet the fact remains that the services of men of his kind are now needed more than ever in Congress, and little or no effort was made to dissuade him from abandoning public life.

We were content until recently with our Fischers, our Hurleys and Howes. Mr. Coomibs is the president of the Manufacturers' Trust Company, and although a busy man, has not lost his interest in matters pertaining to the welfare of our country. In an 'Interesting conversation had with him yesterday, it was manifest that he had followed the progress of the late war closely, and was deeply impressed with the gravity of responsibilities which the country Is assuming day by day. Mr.

Coomtbs spoke In the highest terms of President McKinley's personality, Iris integri ty and loftiness of purpose, and so what he had to say concerning certain phases of our preparation for war Was not meant as an arraignment or hostile criticism of the President. The ex Congressiman'e utterances are therefore to be regarded as the observations of a thougntful man, deploring seme of the errors made by the official associates of a President for whom he has the highest regard. At one stage of our conversation the ex Congressman said: "It seams to me that the management of our Anmy at home conveys to us a grave warn 'ing of our inability, under like conditions, to enter upon a military career. We do not appear to have profited by the experience of history So conspicuous was Army mismanagement in certain quarters as to give a shock to those who really thought we were either prepared for war, or could promptly and effi ciently prepare for war." At that very moment a general in the United States Army, General Breckinridge, was testifying before the war investigating committee "You, gentlemen, are doing now what an Inspector General should have done three months ago." General Breckinridge said further that as far as he could see after his promotion there was no Inspector General of the Army; that the corps inspector generals are supposed to go about camp and report to an Inspector General at Washington, but as a matter of fact reports were made to the Adjutant General. He said: "I found the hospitals at Camp Thomas in a bad shape.

Their condition was due to the lack of administrative skill on the part of surgeons, and lack of medical skill on the part of nurses. The latter were as bad as bad could be." The General added that he did not think that anyone wanted a patient with his mouth a nest of flies, yet such a condition was noticeable. No one wanted eight delirious men where only one should have been, yet that happened. Mr. Coombs has spent twentyfive winters in Cuba in the transaction of "business and so it may safely be assumed thiat be knows considerable concerning 'the clima'te and the people of the island.

In speaking of the detail meat ot our soldiers to duty in Cuba the ex Congressman said: "Not long ago I had occasion to visit an officer of a so called regiment of immunes before ft left our shores. After surveying the men I remarked to my friend, 'Why. these men look to me like mountaineers from Kentucky and To wb'ich. my friend returned an affirmative answer, and added 'tbatt many of them wore miners. These men are not immunes.

They are as likely to contract yellow fever as any of our men who went to Cuba. As a result of my experience in Cuba and In the South I should say that it would be wise, if possible, to select men for service In Cuba who have lived south, of Mobile. In the many years that I have spent in Cuba I never 'thought it eafe 'to start before December 12, and that gave to me six days on the water, and it was the ISth before I arrived. Yet I see that same of our 'troops are to te sent there on November 25. Unless there is a great improvement In medical management, 'transporta Uon methods and the selection of proper sites for camps most serious consequences may be expected to follow.

To my mind the experiences which we have passed through during the last few months have demonstrated our unpreparedness for war, so far as the Array is concerned. There has been nothing in these experiences to warrant 'the conclusion 'tha we are ready to em bark as a na clon on a military career." I asked the ex Congressman if he thought national expansion a wise national policy, and he replied: "That is a question which requires serious thought and discussion. Conclusions for or against should not be lightly arrived at. One phase of this question is most important. We have not displayed any conspicuous ability in dealing with the Indian question, and I think that is generally admitted.

Yet we have them at our very doors, so to speak. Will we display greater wisdom in dealing with the savages, the Chinese, Japanese and half breeds 14,000 miles distant? If the Philippines became one of territories of the United States can you prevent the Chinese from getting a foothold there? If you do, under the laws of this country, you cannot prevent the citizens of a territory from entering the United States. At one time 1 thought that our Chinese law was in some respects cruel. I modified my views when I studied the Chinese question in their colonies on the Pacific Coast, and saw that they had made no progress in civilization for twenty five years. Whether China, with its poverty stricken millions is become a menace to this country, under conditions which are rapidly assuming formidable aspects, I cannot The standard of quality, Cleveland's baking powder.

CURE THAT COLD. You Would Avoid the Grip and Pneumonia. teed Have No Fear If You Are Provided With No. 3. The Famous Specific Now in Great Demand.

rII you cabch cold when the thermometer dropped yesterday? Take Specific No. 3. It cures a the Grip, and PREVENTS PNEUMCNIA. "VVhea the weather changes as smdden I ly as it did last week, they eaten them easily. It is much easier to catch a cold than to get rid of it, unJess one has a bottle of the "little pallets" in the Inside Pocket and take them on the FIRST indication of a cold.

The Grip 'usually coemmenees with lassitude, slight shiveritugs, creeping in the hack, weight in the head, tightness across the forehead, sneezing, watery eyes, and obstruction of one or both nostrils. If it be a severer cold, these symptoms axe soon followed by a dry cough, hoarseness, sore throat, pains and soreness of the joints, loss of appetite. attracts heat lowers the temperature of the body a.nd causes cold, and it 'is this coCd that so often ends in pneumonia, which is more than usually prevalent for this time of the year. Remem'ber that Dr. Hilton was the first physician to offer the public a remedy to cure a cold, the Grip and PREVENT PNEUMONIA.

Thousands of persons hare testified to the merits of this remedy. The famous Physician, to whom is due all the praise tor close investigation that can be given to a discoverer of so important a remedy, has assured the public that when taken as directed his simple little pellets save them from colds and their more serious followers, pneumonia and La Grippe. The two are both With us now. The No. 8 Is so positively a cure for colds and so certain a preventive otf pneumonia Grip, so absolutely harmless, so handy to carry, so pleasant to take, that it seems strange any one should be without It this weather.

This palmier is a realist, yet by no mea ns one of those precise and pb.cteograpb.lc persona who vex the soul fry hard and literal re n'darmgs of Scriptural themes. His 46'0 plcftures are all BIblical.and meet of them were designed as Illustrations tor the big and expensive "Life of Christ" that is shortly to be published on two 6ldes of the sea. His point of view is different from that of the old masters, albeit he not infrequently recalls them. In a pose or group. The elder painters took for granted on Ignorance on the part of the public that equaled their own respecting the appearance and accessories of the people of the Holy Land.

TIssot, on the contrary, has studied his characters on the sell. He has done what conscientious theatrical managers do tor there are two or three such people he has gone to the ground, copied the fashions of dress, made noce of facial types, of habitations, of scenery, and all that, so that in reconstructing the Incidents that have been a million times described in words and form and color, they have for almost the first time some impression of reality. The imaginative quality that saves realism fro dullness and literalism is not lacking, however. The composition is always striking, is sometimes but Is infrequently dignified and beautiful. That it can be the reverse is also true, as one may eee by looking at the slaughter of the innocents, which is a bloody and lmtiruted subject at the best, and at certain phases of the series representing the passion and death, for In those pictures the paln'ter reveis In gore and suffering, and he calls to his aid the howling tnoto with its wolfish faces: jus; the sort of a mob that might be gathered on ihe east side of Manhattan or in Jerusalem to day, If some agency could stir a now oppressed and placid people back into their old savagery ano physical activity.

In the smaller galleries are shown a number of pencil studies of Jewish types seen in and near Jerusalem, and these figures recur in the mobs and the congregation's of the finished pictures. They are strictly Oriental even in costume, and suggest the families that within a dozen years have swarmed to these shores from Russia and Hungary and Poland, and that make a "Standard of Highest Merit," ARTISTICALLY and MUSICALLY PERFECT.

SPECIFIC CASES GIVEN. Miss Julia H. Chadvrick Replies to Dr. Bishop's Statement Concerning Montauk Camp. To the Editor or the Brookiyn Eagle: The letter of a Doctor Bishop with regard to Camp W.itoff, Montauk, published in.

your issue of October has ju.st come to my attention and 1 permission, late as it is, to be aliowed to say a word in reply to it. Knowing very little about general hospital except in a few cases of which i hava names and dates and am prepared to testify elsewhere. I will say nothing about Dr. Bishop's remarks on that head. But his assertion that "as soon as men were sick enough to demand hospital treatment they were speed.

iy removed from their regiments to the general or divisional hospitals" is too monstrous, to be allowed to pass without emphatic contradiction. On August 2U 1 visited in iiis tent Private Frederick Carlson, A Company, Seventy first New York. lie was alone In his tent, hia threo tent mates having gone home on furloughs, and was uncared for except by a kind neighbor in the next tent who bad "heard him groaning" and went in. He lay on a small rubber "slicker" on the damp grass, la a high fever and too ill to Lake much notice of me. 1 saw him again August found him even worse than before, and now almost unconscious.

1 took the regimental surgeon to his tent myself and on rc turuing two days later, 1 found he had at last been taken to hospital. On August tin I visited the Sixteenth Infantry and saw Waidemar H. Woolf, Private, Company 1, ill in his tent, lying on a small rubber slicker on the damp grass with one blanket. He had high fever and was very weak. I saw him again on August still very 111, unable to raise his head lo speak to me.

A week later be was still with ilia regiment, trying to struggle about; on September IS, 1 found him in general hospital with typhoid. Un September T. he was transferred to New York and allowed to go home on furlough, being, according to the doctor of the ward, at Montauk, then ln Iha third week of typhoid. Ou September 2 Samuel Parriish or the Red Cross found in the Seventh Infantry 188 men on sick report, of whom he got (J5 out 'to the Providence Hospital, 'there being no re cm for them in tile Hospital, On September the same uiati found sick men in tne heeonu ji an try loir: of a total strength of abou .1011) and removed to Providence Hcsptuti 30 from the Second, between oO and HO from the Si. ttn infantry, and between lit! and 70 from the Sixteen ta Infantry There were then iti tuue uire regiments i.lo men wlvjote regimental our goons had been anxious a watting a eunoo send theiu to 't'iie Montauk hospitals, au4 asked Mr.

Parrish to take as many ais pois beeaucie there was no roo.n for thena general or divisional hospitals at Montauk. On August I was given a list of twelve men whom tho surgeon or the Eig'iuh infantry was trying to get into general hjs pi tiil, one of them a surgical case, and I found live or nix more in t'iiat regiment needing hospital care, one at least of whom died after waging many days to ue taker, to hoa pital. I can fuma this lis if dc wired. On September Miss I owell of liruoklya found a iad named Tapping of Coinojuy Kightb, on the ground in his tent; iinpera tine, ilJ 1 degrees. He iva not taken to h.xs pl'tal un ti'l afiei ijon of following day, when lie was entered a a typnoid case, ln the Twenty second Ueglment of infantry 10 there were a number of very ill men.

When the ambulance came from gen eral late lu Lhe afternoon they said they could only take six men from that regiment. Six men wiir.e ic were neat where tne ambulance topped were hustled in and driven olf. The folio wing is a brief account of four of the men who been left be'hind. One of them. Kudeuer, had temperature of degree: partly delirioti.s, pains in headache; iiad been from continuous fever for soino dayis.

We were fihown an order for him to go to the nospital signed by flic; doctor three days before. Hi bunkie said. "There Ls his bundle, 1 did i't up three days ago and we have been expecting tie would go lor.g before this." His company street was situated a greater distance 1'iLiu where the ambulance stopped than tne Wo found a man sitting up in his ient, so stiff with rheumatism he was unable to lla down. Ho had bis bundle done up beside him and was all ready to go to the hospital, with his order from tile doctor in his hand. "Oh," he said, "you needn't do anything for me today; I am going to the hospital this afternoon has the ambulance come?" It had eoiue and gone without him.

The other two ne lefi behind bud temperatures of degrt pains in the lower part of back, headache, and were greatly relieved by the ice wo go tor their lu but of course it was impossible to do much for them in their tents.

Next week: Clifford Huth, Ln "A High Born Lady." The ayety. "Devil's Island," which was at the Grant! I Opera House iast week, is at the Gayety 1 this. The cast is unchanged.

The week at Hyde Behman's began yes terday afternoon with Jos' ph Hart's vaude viile company. The programme contained a number of clever specialties and was, alto gether, one of the best that has been presented at his house aince the beginning of the season. The performance opens with Lavender and Thompson, whose principal duty seems to be the paving of the way for the rest of the company. They bad some comic work which took twice as long to get. off as it should have under ordinary circumstances.

They were followed by Yorke and Adams, known to the stage as "the two plain Jews." They are very clever and kept the house ln roars of laugiiter. M. Rudinol'f, who deals in smoke pictures, bird imitations and shadowgraphs, gave an interesting performance. He is an expert at his art and turns omt some clever half tones with the help of smoke, his Angers and a small brush. The second half of the programme was opened by Joseph Hart ln a sketch, "The Quiet Mr.

Gay." He was assisted by Mi. Carrie DeMar, who did some attractive dancing. Ethel Levey sang some dashing coon songs and made one of the biggest hits of the She has a powerful voice and puts lots of action into her work. Valmore, the Instrumental man, and the brothers Damra, acrobats, did excellent work In their specialties. Charles T.

Aldrich, a juggling comedian, is a fund of humor in himself. He has an abundance of originality and gives an interesting half hour as his contribution to the merriment of the performance. Brooklyn Music Hall. May Howard appeared twice upon the tago of the Brooklyn Music Hall last night in "The Ladies' Alimony Club" and in "Secret Servers." Each time she was liberally applauded. In "Secret Servers" Miss Howard played the part of Willie Havenstraw, alias John Smith, a schemer, and interpreted her part so thoroughly that the applause was continuous.

The burlesque was well liked by the audience and the wedding of the Chinese and the negro was a funny sight. Irene Watson, the elastic girl; Al H. Weston, the descriptive vocalist; the Mills Trio, Wii son and Flynii and DeCosta and Morau an'd Wesiey composed the remainder of the programme. The Star. Irwin Brothers Burlesquers which holds tike boards at the Star this week is probably one of the best of the vaudeville organizations that visit the house in a season.

Its talents are of a high order, its costumes now and gorgeous, its women young and its humor up to date and clean. It seems to be made up of performers and variety "teams" sorni What new to theatergoers so far ais reputation is concerned, bu ambitious and anxious to please. A judicious administration of bronchial troches might improve the voices of th street Arabs quartet, but the act it self makes up for Uaeir hoarseness. Thorni pson and Carter, Sidney and Van Tilzer, Carver and Black. Merrill and New house, trick bicyclists, all contribute to' an interesting programme.

Miss in her illustrated songs, produces voice of great depth and power. A sketch called "A Night at the Armory" ls one of ohe features of the programme. Amusements In Mnnhattan. There is something more than an apology for a plot ln "The Jolly Musketeer," which went through the first night crucible at tho Broadway Theater last night. It is true that the opera had already Bcored successes elsewhere, but the mutropolis applies the supreme test, performances In other places being regarded as little more, than full dress rehearsals.

It is difficult to please these who did not enjoy the presentation. Stange hois created situations which would hold attention were the comedians consigned to obscurity behind the scenes and their pla ces taken by seriousness Itself. Edwards has writien music which would carry the production with no assistance from that which is in lighter veici. That is to say, there is substance as well e.s froth. Generous opportunities are at the disposal of Van Rensellaer Wheeler, who does not overshoot the mark by being too dramatic and who can be dismissed with the siatement that he has little or nothing to fear at the hands of critics.

Jefferson De Angel is is the central figure. He dances and slugs to" the finish almost from the start and be never has been seen to nuite as much advantage. He makes, however, no effort to monopolize all the comedy honors of the play, Harry Me Donough being in harness with him. They are an effective team. Maud Hoilinsand Bertha Waltziuger are the women in the cas They easily hold their own.

whieh is to say that neither is successful at the extt. nse of ihe other. Apparently "The Jolly uk''teer" ls booked for prosperity. The American. Tho Castle Square Company gave.

A large audience at the Columbia laughed and Altred Partridge are natural, cne rctsu.t ing eompiJoations are a.musing without ever I being coarse, and the performance is surpris i ingly well bred, the pleasant voices and good manners of its actors being one of its chief perfect at the ColumDia as 'it was at Uii adi son Square, because this theater is niuoh larger and the actors are couupelled to rai.se tneir voices at times out of lilt conversational tone which was one of the eiiorms of the piece P'ay1 across the river. They suc ceed, however, in making every line of piece many at U'aem worth hearing easily audible without departing from their air of oreeuius; u.ouSa i tions here and mere toat the actors Relieved that they must exaggerate their points a lit tle to drive them nonie iih "road" audi ences. They may rest assured tihat Brooklyn i not so far from Twenty fourth street as to require any such distinction, and thai their audiences here will like morn better if they plajr just nearly Lhey ala across the river as the larger house will permit. Arthur Partridge, on a hunting trip, engages' himself to a pretty innkeeper's daughter, in sPlf? fact th" IaepfrB i mother have engaged him to an heiress. Al i rad Partridse, havind indorsed a biil for a i friend and having a bailiff at his heels, comes upon the inn where Arthur is staying.

He enters one door as Arthur has left at the other, eats the breakfast which Arthur has ordered, lets Arthur's sweetheart kiss him and is finally taken home to London to meet the heiress by Arthur's parents; ie ndiag himself to this latter deception because the town house will be a sure refuge from the bailiff. These incidents fill the prst act. In the second only Alfred appears5, but he has trouble enough getting his bearings with the heiress, whom he is supposed to know all about. He learns that by the terms of her father's will the girl is required to marry a Partridge, that he will do as well as Arthur and then he devotes himself to the love making in earnest. In the last act everybody goes back each other on and oif the stage with lncreas ing rapidity and cumulative comic effect until the curtain falls.

As both the Partridges are played by H. Keeves Smith, this chase becomes exciting as an exhibition of remarkable powers of wind and limb, the time allowed to run around the stage and change make ups being surprisingly short toward the last. Aside from his dexterity in making apparent changes of feature between the two cousins, one seeming to be long and thin of iace' 0thef ls roundnd Mr Reeves Smith is a clever comedian. His por trayal of Alfred, the Jolly Partridge, is a most entertaining comedy, and would be not able If that were the only part he played. TJlere are halt a 6ozen other good actors in wauer ul ueu.BO oueuuu is like a bit of Dutch painting in its solidity anu life likeness, while Cecil Thornbury, as Snap, the bailiff, gives a more conventional low comedy part, In a way which Is amusing if original.

There are three pretty actresses. and Jessie Bateman, as Peggy, the innkeeper's daughter, who has attended a French board ing school and then come home to draw beer for her father's patrons, is Charming as well as Pretty, and makes a tenderly life like figure. Mabel Lane, the stepmother, has something of the dark beauty of Maxlne Em ott, and Agnes Knight is an aristocratic heir ess. The farce is preceded by a curtain raiser, "Goodby," whose principal value is that It enables actors who play old men in the Jarco to P'W young and good looking ones, and that It gives Miss Lane a bit of sentiment, which she does appreciatively, But tne curtain raiser is harmless. If dull, and the whole offers one of those rare pcr formances which a whole family can enjoy togetner, or tne matinees of which no one need hesitate to let the girls go alone.

Next week, Viola Allen will play "The Christian," and judging by the line at the sale this morning there will bardly be a vaoant seat all the week. The Park. J. H. Stoddart met vviiQi a gTeat reception at the Park Theater last night.

Mr. Stoddart is a great actor, as he has proved here before this season, as well as on countless previous occasions. The part of Moneypenny in "The Long Strike," one that he has made famous, was perhaps never better portrayed, despite the age of the veteran actor. The house was filled to overflowing and the audience oould not sufficiently attest Its appreciation of this actor's work in the part ot the cranky old lawyer. There is little to sav of a play so well known as "The Long Strike." Its demands mily attested the value of die stock corapaiiy which Leonard Grover has gathered about him at the Park ucouaiu trover, asain demonstrated talents in the part of John KelAy tneTsailfr "ohej Ferrol, Mr.

Powers Wolves of Neiw Amphion. Denman Thompson is making his annual visit to Jie Eastern District in his ever popular "Old Hcaiescead," and last evening he was greeted by a fair sized audience. Tho welcome that was accorded to the star and play was as cordial and genuine as usual and it bids fair to never wear out. There Is nothing new to say of the play except that it was given wi Ji the same detail and presorted with the competent cast as it was when in this city at another theater a few weeks ago. The Liliputians will appear in the "Golden Horscshce" next week.

The Montauk Theater. The second week of the "Conquerors" at the Montauk Theater was begun last evening. The audience was considerably smaller than tho excellence of the performance warranted, but there are comparatively few plays which will draw largo houses for two consecutive wer ks at any theater in this borough. The interest in the acting centered around Wlir.iam Faversham and Miss Jessie Mill ward. The former's lithe, graceful physique makes him always pleasant to have before one's eyc but in addition to that lie has steadily improved in hi ability as an actor, and few could handle the role of the German offiei as well as he does.

Miss Millwood plays Yvonne with charm and energy. Tii re ar a number of other excellent actors in the company made die presentation admirably, even enjoyable. Next week Sothern in the "Adventures of Lady Ursula." The Bijou. It need hardly be said the Bijou Theater was crowded last night when It that Chauncey Olcott was there. Ho ha.s a habit of crowding that theater.

He Is, in fact, Tar and away the great favorite or the Bijou's patrons, just as the man most earnestly hated is the villain, who constantly being foi ed by the lr.tih singer. This year the singing comedian has an excellent cast with him. though the women are decided. In the load of the men so far as acting es. But the men have so little chance with the star always on the stage and ever ready to break in upon nm with a song that does matter.

If no; saying then Chauncey sinking thiftg all through the evening, and as that is Just what the people in the cozy iitt.e theater like, the play Is a great ess.

He proposed that cuts be made in the proposed appropriations for public buildings, speedways and the Ehn street widening.

Polks declared also in its favor, remind ing the Democratic majority that the Demo cratic party Is pledged to give the people all the needed schools. I Councilman Cakley, who had previously gotten a motion througn directing that all propositions for reductions in the budget must be made in writing, wanted 'the matter laid oVor, but finally opposed 'it, on the ground 'that Aid.

Wafer's resolution would send the whole subject back to the Board of Estimate and prevent any further consideration. Councilman McGarry called attention to the lmposslbil.l'cy of having all department heads reappear to lave their estimates revised and cu't all over again. Aid. Wafer's resolution was lost by a vote of 33 to 45. Most of the Brooklyn aldermen voted with Mr.

Wafer. Aid. Goodman next oocupied the time of the Municipal Assembly in a similar attempt to add 'to the budget and was permitted to do so, despi'te the fact that the body cannot add a single cent to It. Aid. Goodman wanted more money than has been allowed given to 'the Bureau of Municipal Sitadstics, so Chat it can publish a history of New York's naval celebration and other events connected wixh this year's war.

President Guggenheimer entertained the request although, he declared the Board of Estimate had no power to make any such Increase.

Last In Association Hall Ramon Reyes Lala, a native of the Philippines, gave an illustrated lecture on those islands to an audience that should have been much larger than it was. Lala was born lu the City of Manila, and spent all his early life there. The lecture iast night consisted more of a conversation on sights, scenes and customs of the islands than a cut and dried dissertation upon the subjeec and was enlivened by nutu erous witty side remarks by the lecturer on topics suggested by the pictures. The views presented were in number about 75, and consisted of views in the City of Manila, both the old and new part, che river Pasig, the Bay of Manila, the fortifications, the churches and cathedrals, and many views of typical scenes outside the cities.
