That just about the same results can be obtained in taking Brooklyn property to Now York to sell as can be obtalnod by selling Now York property in Brooklyn was amply illustrated yesterday at the Real Estate oxchange on Liberty street, Now York, when Richard V.

Harnett for Arthur A. Mitchell, assignee of Martin Lee, put up for sale several pieces of improved property on the park slope. It is a fact that Is admitted by all conservative brokers that Brooklyn real estate does not bring as good figures anywhere else outside of the home market as it does in Brooklyn, and nt yesterday's sale several parcels wero withdrawn for lack ef bids sufHciont to cover incumbrances that are held by Brooklyn people. The sale wns largely nttended, but In the crowd yory few Brooklynits wero noticed and those mostly of a speculative turn who aro looking for slaughters rather than a fair nnd safe investment. In spito of the auctioneer's description of the location and the character of the buildings, which he said wero equal to houses that in Now York city would bring 840,000 ut auction, Interest was dormant and the parcels sold were disposed of only after a lengthy effort.

The terms of sale were liberal, ns were also the amounts that could remain on mortgage at 5 per cent. such terms, in fact, that in Brooklyn, oven in the present condition of the market, would bring out purchasers. But the fact that four pieces were withdrawn is sufficient evidence of the mistake of taking good property awav from home to sell.

85G Carroll street, four story brick house, 22x48x80, was offered by Mr. Harnett, but withdrawn for lack of a bid. 224 Garflold place, throo stoi and basement brown stone house, 19.0x50x100, was withdrawn for the samo reason. 222 Garlield place, same character of house, was withdrawn on a bid of 812,000. 21!) Garflold place, threo story and basement brown stono house, 18x52x80, was offered twice.

The first timo no bid was received and on the second offering 89,100 was the best offer received. It, too, was withdrawn. At the same salo the property 247 Carroll stroet, a three story attic and bnsoment brown stone house, in excellent condition, 25x53x100, was withdrawn, on an 88,000 bid. All of this property is located Is tha most de sirablo residential parts of the city and had it been offered on the floor of tho Brooklyn exchange would without a doubt have been 60ld at prices more mearly present values.

Davidson, Private A. G. Findlay, S. J. Es tey, a Cooper, W.

A. Stopford, W. E. Gay lord, Charles H. I'ennoyer, Christian Peterson and E.

In the ooflln beside the body was placed the handsome silk flag given to Lieutenant Oliver by the Sunday school of the Sixth avenue Baptist church. The pall bearers were as follows: Walter K.

Paye, Colonel Alexis C. Smith, General John B. Woodward, F. T. Pursons, Lewis T.

Lazelle and Surrogate George B. Abbott. The church was crowded with mea and women who in church, sooinl or military life had known and loved the man whose death they mourned. Ain'ong those present were Colonel Alexander F. Bacon, Major McKlnnon, Captain Sllkman of Company Twenty third rogiment; ex Adjutant Clarence Stanley of the Thirteenth regiment, Colonel J.

G. Story, Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Frothingham, Ordnance Sergeant Bryant, Edward C. Benedict, secretary of the Veteran association of the Twenty third regiment; John C.

Whiting and A. M. Cnhoono. The services were conducted by the Rev. Dr.

J. B. Thomas who. after offering a prayer and reading an appropriate passage the scriptures, spoke briefly of tho reoora of Lieutenant Oliver. He said that for the thirty years he had known him he had found him ever to be a loyal, toudor hearted friend.

It had rarely been his lot to meet a more manly man. He was generous and sympathetic with young men, and it was his aim to help them to live a consecrated life, and thus show the highest typo of manhood. As superintendent of the mission Sunday school in Prospect place he proved a sincere and earnest friend to many toys and girls in securing a start in life, and it was his aim to start bis boys and girls right. He did not teach them to lean, but helped them to stand. He was truly a Christian soldier.

He was outspoken in his condemnation of wrong, but was sympathetic and tender hearted with the penitent. The example of such pare, noble lives, lived by men among men, proves the power of religion to lift man above his surroundings. His life would unquestionably bear fruit. He had planted seed by all waters. He had gone out into places, where men were not wont to go and there had spoken for Christ his Saviour, and many a lost one had boen gathered by his benign influence iato the kingdom.

After the closing prayer most of those present availed themselves of the opportunity of pass ins uy the collln and taking a last look at the face of their dead friend and associate. THE FE.EL0. READI.VG CIRCLE w.iw ou iuniuci' l.v mort $2,000 Carroll at, KUhth uv. 00x92, x89.9. Winston 11 Haien.

When the coffee had made its appearance without cigars, of course the chairman said there was a little matter of business which should bo attended to in the nature of passing upon an amendment to the constitution making the annual dues 10. This would defray the expenses of such banquets as might be given during tho season. On vote, however, the amendment was lost, the members preferring to have the dues fixed at a smaller sum and tho banquets assessed extra as they came along.

There were some propositions for membership received and accepted, and Judge Reynolds wont od in a few words to say that it was unfortunate that the first prosident of the union found It impossible to preside at tho first banquet. "Our society," said he, "starts off under very auspicious circumstances. Even in an existence of, I may say, a few days, it has waxed strong and lusty. Our design, in a broad way, is to add to our means now in use for tho better doing of our duty to the city ns Its citizens. In our life it is hoped that we may work on broader lines than those of denomination.

The committee in charge of out meeting to night, acting upon that idea, has invited minister of another denomination to act as the first speaker. I see by the papers that after his last sermon three ministers in town have been after him with a sharp stick. That ho is here as our guest to night shows that we aro catholic and thut he is too. If he sticks close to tho Methodist side then ho will stiek close to the place where he should be." Dr. Behrends was greeted with much applause when he arose.

After acknowledging it, he declared, laughingly, that he was not going to lecture his audionce by any means. "I want to express my own personal gratification at being here." said he. "I am glad to see so many here In response to such a call. And you are a pretty good looking lot of people, too. If you keep on growing as you have started you will soon outgrow all other similar olubs in the city.

In your constitution you sot forth as a part of your work the looking after the genoral interests of Methodism. I hope you will make it as general as possible. Laughter. Tho loss ecclesiastical you make sueh gatherings as this, the better. I don't like to come to sueh gatherings and talk shop.

You should como together as Christians, emphasizing the humanitarian side rather than anything else. 1 know of several organizations which have died a natural death when an attempt wae made to use them ns un arm of the church itself.

Part ono of tho programme was opened with a selection by the banjo club. The yonng women were in evening gowns and made an attractive picture against a background of tropical plnnts. Tho rather unusual feature of dozen banjos being played at once and played extremely well earned fer the club hearty applause. Mr. Reed sang "Hyorias the Cretan." by Elliott, and Mrs.

Burch followed with Bohm's "Mine and Thine," receiving an encore. "When the Tide Comes In," Millard, was sung by Mr. Brennan, and Miss Mandelick sang Rubinsteln'e "Since I First Met Thee. She was compelled to respond to an encore. Mrs.

Henry Firth Wood next gave two recitations, the first entitled "Imph" and the second "Jimmy Brown's Prompt Obedience." Roth were cleverly rendered. The banjo club played "Little Coquette" us tha opening number of part two of the programme and Mrs. Burch followed with Moskowski's "Lullaby." Mrs. Leavitt then sang and played "Mam's Lullaby," and two songs by Miss Mandellok, Nev in's "Twilight" and Gnrrott Collyn's "Serenade," followed. "E6tudiantina" was sung by Mr.

Brennan and Mr. Rood and tho closing number, "Manhattan Fantasia," was by the banjoists. At the Rogent hotel later in the evening dinner was served to those who volunteered their services in the mosicale. The patronesses wero Mrs. Charles A.

Henry Drissler of tho Twenty fourth ward believes that the Republionn party in this county lost 10,000 votes last night when the general committee refused to adopt a plan of district representation in nominating conventions. A good many others, however, dilTar with him. That the committee did not adopt one of the two plans roported by the committee on rules and order was in the nature of a surprise to many of tha conservative membero of the body, including Benjamin F. Blair, tho chairman. Tho lattor has measured tho popular cry for Buch representation and believed tho general committee would not offend public sentiment by declining to do what seemed tha popular Will.

Tho attendance was very large, but singularly noisy. Bepeated gaveling failed to induce order at times and many irrelevant speeches Were interjected at times when they could nave been omitted with general benefit. When the question direct representation to nominating conventions was taken up, the plan known as alternate proposition No. 1 was taken up. It provides for direct representation in all nominating conventions, including the city and county conventions; furthermore, that a dele Sate from eah district shall oast the vote of the district given at the next preceding presidential or gubernatorial election, whichever is the more recent.

When the plan Was read Denis F. Hurley of the Sixth ward moved its adoption. John J. MoGuinness of the Eighth ward moved as a substitute what is known as alternate proposition No. 2.

This plan lenves the representation la city and county conventions as it is at presont. and pro Tides farther that in all other nominating conventions, the election district shall have as many delegates as it has members in the ward committee. In explaining his motion for the substitute, Mr. McGulnntiss said "lam against proposition No. lbeoauso it perpetrates bossism of which so muoh has recently been said.

Under it ono man can doal with tho votes of 200 men." Mr. JIcGuinness was interrupted by Mr. Chambers of the Twenty fifth ward at this juncture. Tho latter said that 200 men met and sent one man to represent them and that man would carry out tho will of tio majority, better than which no other plan could possibly provide. Mr.

Fuller of tho Seventh ward also Bpoke in favor of proposition No. 1. He believed nothing could be fairer than each district sending its own delegate. Assembly Wray, ho followed him, committed himself likewise ta No. 1, saying that if if was a good thing to adopt district representation for some of the conventions it must be good for all of the conventions.

Ernst J. Kaitenbach was attainst district representation in all its forms. Not ono of the Republicans in tho Twenty eighth ward, he said, wanted it. Benjamin F. Blair then resigned tho ohair to take part in the discussion.

He told the members of the committee that ho had deliberated with the committee on rules and order during tho time tboy were preparing the pi ins, and although he wished to preserve a consort ative courso, he was on the floor to advocate the adoption of N. 1, because the people, he believed, wanted distriot representation. No general committee in tho past, he continued, over met for a graver work, and he thought a fatal mistake would be made if direct representation was withheld. When Mr. Blnir concluded Mr.

Buttling made an amendment to tho McGuinness substitution to the effect that in the section referring to tho city and county conventions tho word county be stricken out and tho word ward be put in its place. This wouid mate the representation in the city and county committees between 1,700 and 1,800. Much disorder prevailed while tho committeo was preparing to vote on Buttling's amendment. By a liberal use of the gavel Mr. Blair finally induced silence and the vote was taken.

The amendment was defeated, only a few votes being recorded in its favor. Mr. McGuinness' substitution me with a similar fate, and then tho question of the adoption of proposition No. 1 came up for a hearing. When the roll call was over, that, too, was found to bo defeated, 55 votes being recorded in tho affirmative and 23 in the negative.

A three quarter vote of tho members prasent is essential to the adoption of an amendment to the constitution. W. W. Goodrich, who voted for tho adoption of tho plan, wanted to chango his vote after the ballot had been announced, but was just a trills late. Tho majority of the members of the rules and order committee, who are also delegates to the constitutional convention, were necessarily absent, so an adjournment was takon until Saturday night to give them a chance to bo heard on the plans submitted.

Frank Squier. treasurer of the; general committee, tendered his resignation and it was accepted. Following is his report of the condition of the troary: Balance on hand January 1, 1894, 15.06; received from dues, eta, total, paid miscellaneous bills, 42.1G4.57: balance on hand, balance on hand May 2, 1894, $447.74. The report was roceived and the executive committee ordered to audit it. Tho election of a new treasurer then began.

Several' men were mentioned, but Norman S. Dike of the First ward got unanimous support and was made Mr. Squier's successor. The committee on organization made the following report: To the Kings County Republican General Committee: Gentlemen Your committee on organization have carefully considered the matter of grievance arising in tho Eleventh ward, which was referred to them at thApril meeting of this county committee, and nave arrived at the conclusion that no case was presented which calls for aiiy further action. Your committeo is of tho opinion that no error was committed iu the ruling of the president of the ward committee denying the right or dole Kates to change thoir votes from tlio defeated candidate to a person who had not been previously nominated and for whom no vote had been cast prior to tho attempt of the minority to change their votes.

They are also of the opinion that the fact that tho president of the ward committee voted to sustain his own decision presented no cause of complaint, because first, being a delegate to the ward committee he was entitled to a vote on that question, as upon all others; and second, because his decision was sustained without his own vote. Your committee rosDcctfully report the fol lowinjr resolutions and recommend their adoption, to wit: Eesolved, That in view of the fact that the Thirty iirst ward of the City of Brooklyn (formerly the Town of ravesend) has no representation in this county committeo and is without any recognized Republican organization, it is expedient that slept should bu taken, us soon as practicable, to afford to the Republican voters of that ward an opportunity to become enrolled and to secure representation both here and in all nominating conventions; Resolved, That the prosident of this county committee bo and ho is hereby authorized and directed to appoint as soon as may be after the board of elections of this City of Brooklyn shall bavo adinsted and established the election districts of said Thirty first ward for the current year, as many committees of three persons as there shall be such election districts, whoso duty ii shall be to enroll the Republican votors of tho respective districts for which they 'ire appointed and to hold primary elections thoir respective districts for the choico of officers am! delegates to the ward committee; such enrollment and such primaries to be held at such time and snch places as may bo prescribed by the committee on of this county committee, and to he conducted in substantial accord with the provisions of the plan of reorganization tinder which the present organization of the Republican party in Rings county was formed, modified only so far as may be found expedient by said oommittee on organization, to which full power and authority in the premises is hereby delegated. Resolved, That the delegates to tho ward committee chosen at sucb primaries meet at a time and place prescribed by said committee on oreanization and choose officers and such delegate or delegates to this county committee as said ward may be entitled to at the time of such organization as ascertained and announced by said committee on organization. Resolved, That the president of this county committee bo and he hereby is authorized an 1 directed to appoint a suitable person to eill sani ward committee to order and to preside until a pornxanent president thereof shall have been duly chosen. The resolutions were adopted and the report reeeived.

The following resolutions regarding the enrollment of applicants for admission to the party were adopted: Resolved, That tnis ceneral committee does hereby declare that it is the true intent and meaning of section of article of the bylaws that tho board of enrollment provided for in said section, while it is charged with the lutyof.se curin the enrollment in the associations of nil Republican electors raiding within rue district, bus no power at any time to enter upon the rolls of the association the name of any person who shall not have apnlied 'for membership in tho manner prescribed in section 1 Recitation "Aux ItaiiBna" Morodith EVERY W1CWAGGEB PBESEST At the Annual Inspection IVIg ht by General The Second brigade signal corps was inspected Inst nignt by Brigadier General Thomaa H.

Then covering all as if with fallen snow. And changing into fragrance every fear. The branches sway In air serenely soothing to the new born flower, Breathinc dazzling dawn to weary laden earth, And kindline dormant hopes in its irradiating day.

that the pastor has a certain central social relation to those of hiB own charge, and men will come to such gatherings If he comes. But I believe that the organization does better when it is actually run by the laymen and I think it a good thing for the minister sometimes to sit down and listen to sotne other person talk. It is a good thing for him to let the layman do the talking once In a while. And I havo no fnith in ecclesiastical stag parties. Laughter.

I don't believe, in gatherings where men alone congregate. I bellovo most thoroughly in having the ladles present. While we are not all converts to woman suffrage, yet we are thinking of admitting Indies into full membership in the Congregational club. Tho effectiveness of such work as that undertaken by you is along social lines. Aud let mo say hero that I iiko the term club better than union.

There is more of tho ring of the world in it and I like that. I havo come to the conclusion that to make a success of these things you must have the ladies prosent, and, above nil. must havo agood dinner. I wouldn't come often for sandwiches and coffee.

You see I havo spoken right out in meeting. I believe in regulation and not in repression of the promptings of healthy human nature. Oh, you would have a hard time with me in the Methodist church.

1'OOR LITTLE MEN. EIow Xlieir Support of Woman Suffrage ApiieiLrs io u. iTtollier. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: It suoms a little hard to ask you, being a man, to publish in your paper anything unfriendly to men. but it seems to me that the men who have joined the woman suffragists havo been lot off too easy and should take some of the criticism which we antis are showering upon them.

The most pitiable objects in this campaign are these verj men, who, by declaring themselves on the sida of the woman suffragists, acknowlodced them, selves incapable of discharging their proper duties, and are hopiuc to uso these miguided' women as tools for thoir own sain. In effeoti they say to women: "It is true you hava many obligations and labors; you must bake for us and sow for us, boar our children and rear them; take euro of us all in siokuosj, do your share of teaching in tho schools, conduct many, of our charitable and othor enterprises, fill vacations somotimes ovon earn our bread.for us yet. although including ovon oufpUblio business tho old couplot holds true: "Man's work is till set of sun, Woman's work is never done," Wo pray yon, kind women, take some ot our load oil our broad shoulders and add it to that already heavy burden on your weaker ones. Shnmo upon you, wonklingH I A Mom En or Sons. IJuooklin, May 8, .1 H1I4.
