Professor Irving W. Fay, Ph.D., delivered the second lecture In the series on "General Chemistry" in the Polytechnic Hall Tuesday night before the members of the department of chemistry of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. "Hydrogen: Its Production and Properties," was the subject of the lecture. Professor Fay explained that hydrogen was discov ered in 1766, nd that Cavendish, who discovered it. did not know at the time that its union with oxygen would produce water, and did not learn until eight years later.

"Forty years after," Professor Fay con tinued, "Guy Lussac showed that hydrogen combined with oxygen in the simple ratio of two volumes of hydrogen to one of oxygen would form water vapor." The nature of the gas, together with its power of fusion and the manner of making hydrogen was interestingly explained and demonstrated, and the lecture continued with a discussion of the various properties and production of hydrogen. Experimental demonstrations fully illustrated the lecture. NEWMAN AS AN AUTHOR. Second Lecture in the Series on English Writers of the Present Era. The second lecture on "English Writersof the Present Era," was delivered by Frederick K.

Sykes, Ph. Tuesday afternoon, in the Art Gallery, in Montague street, under the auspices of the Department of Philosophy of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Mr. Sykes took for his theme, "John Henry Newman," and, after briefly comparing Newman with Carlyle, passed to a discussion of the religious conditions prevailing in 1830 and of the rise of the Oxford movement. The life of Newman, from his school days at Ealing, where his favorite pastime was in reading theological works, and where he was early converted in the 'Evangelical school, and his devotion of himself at the age of 15 to the single life, were described; and the lecturer continued with a review of Newton's life and religion during the time he was curate of St.

Clement's Church, Oxford, and during the years he was vicar of St. Mary's, the university church of Oxford. The lecture next took up Newton's break, with the Evangelical party, in 1832, and his visit, accompanied by Froude, to Italy, and, later, to Sicily; together with the impressions made upon Newman during this period. Mr. Sykes quoted the latter's words while ill in Sicily: "I shall not die.

I have work to do in England," and read, with much feeling, a few of the beautiful lines in Newman's "Lead Kindly Light," composed while on the journey home. "Returning to England in 1833," Mr. Sykes continued, "he found liberalism had suppressed ten Irish bishoprics and was threatening the English Church. Kreble preached the sermon on "National Apostasy," and a movement to defend the church was begun. Newman, Froude, Palmer, Percival and Rose were Its chief members, and, later.

Dr. Pusey joined it and gave it status. They believed in Ane lo CIatholicism. The influence of New man's sermons and writings and personality was supreme In Oxford. In 1841 he aimed to show that the thirty nine Articles of the Praver Book 'do not oppose Catholic teach ing; they but partially oppose Roman dogma; they for the most pare oppose tne aumiu.mi.

errors of Rome." The gathering storm burst. Newman withdrew to the Littlemore Monastery, to study and meditation. In 1843 he retracted his hard sayings of Rome; on October 6, 1S45, he wrote to Pusey of his intention of entering the Catholic Church, and October 10, he was received into the church at Littlemore, "and, after nineteen years, he wrote: 'I have found perfect peace and Mr. Sykes then dealt with the literary as n.t nf Mpwman's work and discussed some nf ttio mnat Imnortant. among them, "Loss ot, fioir, th author's first work after con version; the "Apologia," written after the attack on the former by Kingsley, and "Ca lista," which Mr.

Sykes declared Newtons chief contribution literature. The poems of Cardinal Newman were also read, tio a ifh the "Dream of Gerontius. Excellent illustrations, presenting the chief places in which Newman, was assutm were thrown on the screen after the lecture, KINGS COUNTY PHARMACISTS. Subject of a New Home for Their Society Discussed at Yesterday's Meeting. A discussion on the probable construction at an early date of new college and society buildings, in which to house the Kings County Pharmaceutical Society, occupied some of the time of the society at its regular bi monthly meeting, held at 329 Franklin avenue, Tuesday afternoon.

Dr. Oscar Knapp, presided, and Frederick P. Tut hill acted as secretary. Degrees in pharmacy were conferred on Rosie Knapp and George Rather, by Dr. E.

H. Bartley, dean of the college. L. C. Mor genstein was elected a member and the following three applications for membership were received; Avery Russell Reed, 506 Seventh street; Urich M.

Freedman, 30 Jo ralemon street, and John Ketterle, 221 Trout man street. Dr. William Muir, chairman of a supervision committee of five appointed to look for a new site, made a favorable report. He said that to put up a building in accordance with the building laws, that is, one 40 feet front and 85 feet deep, at a cost of $20,000, the sum of $5,000 would be required. Remodeling of the present building, he said, would cost a considerable sum.

By its past history, he continued to say, the college was the only one 'in the United States that had doubled its classes in a year. Last year the class numbered' fifty and this year ninety eight. The junior classes had thus been doubled, so that of necessity there must be something, the speaker said, in the Brooklyn classes that attracted students from all over and showed that the college had a reputation. The committee was looking for another building, as they saw no reason why the school should not Increase in the near future from an attendance of 100 to 200. The treasurer, Dr.

Peter W. Ray, said that the society had at present S1.500 on deposit and $3,000 In college funds. The subject then dropped, it being understood that the committee would continue its work. Dr. Albert H.

Brundage suggested that it might be possible that somo of the members might put their hands in their pockets and contribute, toward the cost of the new building. Dr. William C. Anderson, former vice president of the association and now president os the National Retail Druggists' Association of America, reported in regard to the work at the late convention. He said that the convention was generally of a harmonious nature and urged all druggists to work for the adoption of a resolution passed by that body, with the view of securing a plan for the prevention of price cutting on proprietary medicines by the manufacturing and jobbing branches of the trade.

On tho motion of Dr. Ray, Dr. Anderson was thanked for his report. GROSS GAMMON. Miss Florence Gammon and Franklin Gross of Manhattan were married last evening at the residence of tho bride's parents, Mr.

Walter F. Bulkley was elected permanent chairman and Patrick McCarren secretary. The Assemblyman was renominated by John H. Robinson and seconded by John J. Bennett.

In doing so Mr. Bennett said that Mr. McKeown had a record for party loyalty and fealty. "He made a great and determined fight against Republican law," he said. "He helped defeat the Ramapo water steal and he fought against the Raines law.

He was instrumental in defeating the bill that was intended to replace the two Democratic commissioners of jurors by one Republican commissioner, and he also defeated a scheme to rob Brooklyn of street improvements." There were no other nominations and the Assemblyman received the unanimous vote. A committee was appointed to escort the nominee into the hall, but it returned without him and announced that he could not be found. James J. Mclnerney Renominated in the Third. James J.

It Represented a System That Was Odd and Original. "The best system I ever saw of keeping press clippings and general memoranda was the one devised by Eugene Field," said an old newspaper man to a New Orleans Times Democrat correspondent. "As you would naturally suppose from his careless, jovial temperament, Field had a very small bump of order, and the table at which he worked was always in an appalling state of chaos. It was heaped two feet high with letters, papers, cards, clippings, books, manuscripts and all sorts of literary debris, and the humorist himself used to declare that anything placed there was immediately swallowed up and lost forever. 'Don't put any article you value on my he would say in comic despair, 'because if you do you will never see it again.

That mass of rubbish has the mysterious property of a bed of quicksand. It looks solid enough to the eye, but whatever touches it is instantly engulfed and absorbed. Several letters addressed to me that contained checks for large amount; have vanished in its depths, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what became of the last office "Eventually, however, 'Gene struck an ideal scheme for filing away his office loot in such a manner that he couid always put his hands on whatever he wanted. He bought a box of manila envelopes of the largest size, and whenever he had a letter or a document of any kind that he desired to keep, he would slip it inside of one of them, make a memo randum of its contents on the back, moisten the flap and stick it to the wall of his I dropped in to see him only a little while before his death, and found his office literally papered with large yellow envelopes. He explained the system with great pride.

'There, for he said, 'is an envelope labeled "John Smith." It contains all of John's letters and anything else I hove relating to him. hen the Jime arrives when I will probably have no further occasion to refer to it, I take it down and make room for something else. The plan is far superior to a scrapbook, because it takes so little time to keep it up, and the index is always under one's eye." I often wondered what became of that wall collection. It must have contained some mighty interesting reading." TO BACHELOR GIRLS. Night work does not pay.

I have known many successful women who, at the beginning of their careers, worked eighteen hours a day. This may have seemed necessary, but it was not wise, although the persistence and energy which it revealed were admirable. The most profitable Indulgence possible is that given to good, wholesome recreation, which not only improves the quality of one's efforts, but also extends the time in which to win success, the active period of a woman's life. Reading should form a considerable element in a young" woman's recreation: Study in season and out of season. Never stop half way aiong the line.

Master it or keep at it until forced to admit it has mastered you. Never forget or overlook an old friend and make as many new ones as possible without sacrifice of a whit of self respect or individuality. Do this from principle, inasmuch as it is through our friends that the best opportunities of life come to us. Woman's Home Companion. TARTAN PLAID STRIPES.

The first law in Scotch tartans is that every stripe, of whatever breadth or color, must be the same in both the length and breadth of the DUSKY BELLE'S BEAUTY SPOT. Not to be outdone by. her white sisters, a pretty colored girl has adopted the beauty spot of court' plaster, which fashion writers say is to again make its appearance. Only in order to present a contrast to her own dark skin, she wears a bit of white instead of the customary black plaster on her upper lip. YAWNING IS GOOD.

An English journal is authority for the statement that a German scientist has discovered that yawning is a healthy pastime. It is wholesome, like oatmeal and brown bread. Yawning, it is said, stretches the muscles of the brain, maybe, or the tendons of the head; sends the blood to the jaws and sharpens appetite and intellect. It is a cheap remedy, accessible to young and old, rich and poor, and if it is as efficacious as our Teuton says, health Is surely within the reach of everyone in this country. HOME DRESSMAKING.

Fancy Waist. The fancy bodice not alone holds favor, it gains it day by day. The very charming design shown has the merit of beingequally well adapted to entire costumes and to the convenient odd waist. It is well suited to silk and fine wool goods, and, indeed, to any material that requires to be lined and fitted.

The president, Mrs. Edgerton, made an excellent address, reviewing the past work of the club and giving an outline of the plans for the current season.

Mrs. George Newcomer, who has just returned from Paris, was the speaker of the afternoon, her subject being "A Review of the Paris Mrs. Brace sang "I Have Opened Wide My Lattice." Reports of the different committees were submitted. ORPHANS' HOME AUXILIARY. The organization of a Ladies' Auxiliary to the Sisters of at the convent, corner of Willoughby and Classon avenues, will be considered at a meeting called for Monday afternoon at the institution.

A preliminary meeting for this purpose was held early in the summer, and it was deemed wiser to defer definite action until the fall. The assistance of an auxiliary is much needed by the sisters, who have under their care in the main and branch institution several hundred orphan children. CRACKER HELPER. A dainty table article which has just been brought from Denmark to a club woman here, who entertains considerably, is a cracker helper. A long and slender silver handle is attached to a beautiful she'll of mother of pearl.

This Danish shell is about three inches wide and the same in length. It ft highly polished on both sides, and has grayish tones at the edges. Having just enough of a scoop to admit of its holding a few of the smaller kind of crackers, the helper makes a useful and unique addition to the accessories of the luncheon table. MILK TOAST POR DESSERT. At an informal luncheon given in Brooklyn recently, milk toast was one of the dessert dishes offered.

Fruit and cake were also Included in the dessert menu. HOW ZULU WOMEN SEW. The skill of the Zulu of South Africa. in sewing fur is a household word in South Africa, and some of the other tribes compete with them. The needle employed is widely different from that used by the ordinary needlewoman.

In the first place, it has no eye; in the second, it is like a skewer, pointed at one end and thick at the other. The thread is not of cotton, but Is made of the sinews of various animals, the best being made from the sinews in the neck of a giraffe. It is stiff. Inelastic, with a great tendency to "kink" and tangle itself up with anything near it. Before being used it is steeped in hot water until it is quite soft, and is then beaten between two smooth stones, which causes it to separate into flla nients, which can thus be obtained of any strength and thickness.

Thus the seamstress has a' considerable amount of labor before ehe commences with the real work In hand. Finally she squats on the ground (for no native stands to work, or do anything else, who can possibly help it), and. taking her needle, bores two holes in the edges of the rug or garment on which she is working. The thread is then pushed through with the butt of the needle, drawn tightly and two more holes are made with a like result, the skewer progressing very slowly compared with an English needlewoman, but fast enough for a country where time is of no value whatever. The skin upon which the seamstress Is working is damped with water before she commences, and as the damp thread and hide dry out it brings the work very closely together.

This is carefully attended to, and the work is not allowed to get dry until finished, when the seamstress lays it flat upon the ground, pulling It this way and that nnd mixing and arranging the hair for several hours, until, the skin being generally dry, it is impossible to find the joint or hem with the naked eye. Stray Stories. JEWEL CLEANING CASKET. One of the novelties 3een at tho jeweler's Is a jewel cleaning casket. It is a dainty little box containing jewelers' soap, a brush, chamois and drying sawdust.

The little box will bo found a groat, convenience hy any woman who Is fond of jewels nnd likes to keep them in good condition. THE CHINESE MATCHMAKERS. In China the matchmaker or "go between" Is a very Important factor In domestic life. Of late he may have abandoned hl3 customary occupation for the fortunes of war. but in times of peace he cannot be dispensed with.

He It Is who casts his watchful eye around that he may find suitable husbands for tho daughters of his acquaintances and then approaches tho parents with due circumspection as well as a good deal of tact and diplomacy. To the family of tho young man he narrates the good qualities, beauty and amiability of a certain young girl. Then he makes visit to her father nnd dwells upon tho riches, learulng and wisdom of a youth ho knows. If he finds both sides willing to consider tho question, he plies back and forth between them, endeavoring to bring about a match ns soon as possible, for he knows that If ho succeeds ho will got a nlco little foe from each family, and he has no hesitation Conrad Hasenflug, Democratic Nominee In the Nineteenth Assembly District. Albany and then the two bands in the hall struck up a popular air and the crowd cheered itself hoarse.

Other speeches were made by Edward Glennen, Albert May, Julius Schar mann, Congressman Wilson and Senator Joseph Wagner. Renomination for William E. Delaney. in the Twentieth. William F.

Delaney was unanimously renominated as the candidate for the Assembly in the Twentieth Assembly District last night at the convention held at Cooper Hall, Bushwick avenue and Cooper street.

He promised that he would try and represent his district satisfactorily as he had done during his present incumbency, and asked that his friends work hard for the success of the entire Democratic ticket, predicting, that victory would be with the party after thevotes were counted.

The meeting was called to order by Henry B. Fennelly, the county committeeman. Will iam H. Croke was made permanent chairman and William G. Ward secretary.

A. T. Bergermann! nominated George Dehler of the Twenty eighth Ward for Assembly. The nomination' was seconded by Samuel Meratschink of Brownsville. The roll was called and everyone voted for Dehler.

Mr. Dehler was brought before the convention. He said: "I congratulate you for nominating me for Assembly and anything you want me to do I'll do." Counselor Henry J. Furlong then read reso lutions, which were adopted and which denounced as "unparalleled the reckless disregard with which their rights are trampled upon and their transit necessities are ignored by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. That in the formation and present conduct of the said corporation they apprehend the existence of a dangerous and formidable traffic combination in their midst; that practically all of the avenues of travel wherever a railroad or a street surface line could be constructed, have already been monopolized, and that the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has secured a virtual monopoly of the people's roads, and that they regard this corporation as, in fact, a gigantic trust and combination intended to restrict traffic and so operated and mismanaged as to bo an unlawful combination in restraint of fair and just traffic competition." After severely criticising the officials and employes of the company, the resolutions' concluded as "That this convention pledges the nominee for Assemblyman to unceasing warfare against private monopoly in every form; that such stringent laws as may be necessary shall at the earliest possible opportunity be urged In the Legislature, and that the grasping monopoly known as the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, whose only aim is the stockholder's pocket, in total disregard of the tax payer's rights, shall be compelled to furnish an equivalent for that which it is receiving at the hands of the people."
