Ontspoken Opinions From tho Old Commander Protesting That Veterans Should Not be Made Mendicants Tiie Second Annual Reunion of Kinjjs Csuatj G. A. R. Posts. The second annual rounion of tho grand army veterans for Kings connty was continued with speeches at Kidgewood park last evening, iu tho presenco of a crowd of from four to live thousand persons, representing all the grand army posts of the city and several from Long Island, Neir York and Now Jersoy, togeth with a large contingent of tho wives, sons, daughters ami grandchildren of veteraiiB.

Tho affair was heartily fraternal and informal, from tho preliminary sports of tho afternoon to tho very general spirited dancing in tho big pavilion at night, and Ihe managers of the reunion may congratu. Jate themselves on having established a series of meetings which aro heartily enjoyed by tho veterans and which tend to extend acquaintance and promote good fellowship in tho ranks of tho grand army of Kings county. Somo surprise was caused by General Slocum's ompliatic and ringing declaration against tho grand army's putting itself in an attitudo of mendicancy by asking for further pension legislation, but that part of hia speech produced the heartiest and longest continued applause of tho ovening. Tho moro guarded reference of tho department commander, Colonel Floyd Clarkson, to the same subject, waa also heartily applauded. Tho athletic contests closed nt a late honr in the afternoon.

44, arrived early and wero entertained by tho executive committee. Major General Honry W. Slocum, wearing a gray, largo oheokod business suit, his noarlv white hair much tumbled under his straw hat, anil looking very much as if ho had just come in from a farm at Babylon and very little as if he had ever led heroic charges at Malvern Hill and Gettysburg, come soon after and joined tho party. Tho collation over, tho dancing, which had begun in tho big pavilion, was stopped and General Slocum and Colonel Clarkson woro escorted to the platform ot the pavilion by Fred Keller's band and tho executive and recop livo oominitteos. General Slocum w.n introduced in a little Bpeoch by Chairman Mortimer ft Earl, who gave the veterans a hearty welcome.

He said the committees wero striving to mako the reunions pleasant for every member of tho grand army. They woro occasions when all partisanship and factional differences should bo buried. Applause. Thia was an important anniversary for grand armv veterans. Twenty eight years ago tonight waa fought tho battle of Malvern Hill.

One yftir later wo were preparing to open tho great light at Gettysburg. Wo are tortnnuto iu having with us as tho orator of the ovening our connnaiidor at both those groat battles; tho truost type of the American soldier and tho American citizen. It gives mo great pleasure to introduce General Honty W. Slocum. General Slocum said he had come out to met the veterans of Kings county and to congratulate them upon thoir pleasant rounion.

Tho history of tho world ia largely a history of gn at wars. But never were tho aoldiera of any other war permitted to meot under such circumstances as those in which we meet to night. Our soMiora accomplished all they anticipated whon tV wout to tho front and vory much more. On such occasions as this my mind goes back to the early davu of tho war, when nono of us knew how much we'should accomplish. In 1SG1 several le Ft I i officers of tho Union army met, all doubtful as to the future.

One of thorn said: "Our govcrniiitut is spending $1,000,000 a day, and wo can't stand the drain." Another added: "Wo are nutting 500,000 men in tho field. Whon the w.ir is ended theso men will be an army of freebooters preying upon us." Tho third i anl: "Suppofio wo win. The South will never come back. They will always bo our ene mies." I look back upon those prophecies to day ami remember that wo Bpent not fl, 000,000 but S3. ooo, 000 a day; that wo had not 500,000 but 1,000.000 soldiers in tho field.

Then Ire call that not one of theb men became a free hooter, but that they roturnod to their ho; i a peaceful and loyal citizens, and I am dniibly proud to be alive to day ami meet such men 4 I see before me, I am reminded that twenty Li. lit years ago to night wo wero at IIo and twnnty aoven years ago at Gettysburg. There are probably a thousand men before me to night who fou rh with me there. If any man of them had predicted at that time our present unexampled prosperity we should havo rogarded him as a lunatic. Since our return our country has boon very liberal with tho old soldiers.

We are p.y ing more for pensions to day than Germany or France pays to support its standing army. I sure that there is no citizeMi of this country v. would wish to see an old soldier suffer. At t'io samo timo there ia such a thing aa asking too much of the government, and I think we as soldiers aro in dangor of taking that affituen'l Thero is already provided in noarly evory stato home where old soldiers can be received and properly cared for. Wo aa soldiers aro in danger of being thought to make mendicants of ourselves.

If thero is anything of which a soldier ought to 'no more proud than anothor it is of having served his country faithfully in her hour of I would rather dio a pauper, having been a soldier of my country, than a millionaire otherwise. Long continued applauso. Lot us tako that view of it and ask nothing more of tho government. Colonel Floyd Clarkson, tho department coin mnndor, being introduced, s.aid: 1 rejoice that wo have Beon able to listen to counsel from ono of the greatest generals of tho war, a man who is close to tho heart not oniy of the people of Kings county, but of thoso of the state of New York as well. It is a groat privilege to listen to (inch a man, but it is a greater and highor privilege to meet in our own circles united by the bond of the grand army of tho republic.

In no othor country aro old soldiers permitted to meet in such an organization. The grand army is ono of tho great ouhvarks of our national Bafety. Its membors aro training up their sons in lcBsonH of patriotism. Iu the schoola they arc taking our flag aud teaching tho young to lovo it with an idolatry bestowed upon no other national emblem. Our orator has well said that this country ia liberal to its old soldiors.

the act of congress, just signed, tho door is opened wider for pensions than it has ever been before. Let ua be thankful for what wo havo and proud of the trust whioh tho people's representatives havo reposed iu us as aoldiera and bo sure that in the future they will caro for old soldiers aa they havo done iu the past. After the speeches a reception was held, at Yhich the veterans and their friends were nre fionted to Colonel Clarkson by tho committee. Dancing waa thon resumed in tho pavilion in accordance with tho following programme: lventioc, "En Arant;" lcs landers; waltz; quadrille. "Nino Pin;" nchottische; lanciers, "Saratoga;" galop: riuadrillo, "Everything;" waltz; Virginia reol; polka; quadrille, "Family." The trees in the park wero pictmcsrjuoly and not too brightly lighted by electric lights and torcneB, and there was at least ono young coupio on tho benches in every secluded spot, ba that tho sons of veterans woro as happy as their sires.

A scene which attracted a good deal of attention was tho spitting of tho monster ox intended for to night's barbecuo. Tho cavcaa waa saddled across nu iron rail, a pan to catch tho dripping fat was placed on tho ground bonoath, at each side of which woro beds of charcoal. Tho charcoal waa lighted during the evening and tho roasting occupied all and will bo continued throiiglr tho day, so that tho beef will still bo hot when the carving and serving begin at 7 o'clock tins evening. Tho drippings from tho pan beneath aro poured over his oxship at intervals, as tho thrifty housewife bastes hor thankagivmg tur koy, and tho meat is expected to bo specially juicy and toothsome Tho barbecuo will be tho priuoipal feature of tho closing meeting to nigh' and will bo followod by an address by Josoph Kay and a musical programme. The ball match between tho polico and firemen is relied upcu to entertain visitors thia afternoon.

10ST THS WATCH AT ROCKAWAI. Benjamin Laydon, of 578 Fulton street, reported tho los3 of a gold watch to tho Rockaway boaoh polico yesterday. Mr. Lsytlen said tho timo pioco was taken from his pocket as ho stepped into the orbwdupon tho dock from tho Grand Republic, on which ho was a passenger. HO VfOhK OS 8ATUBDAT.

President Hendrix and His Staff Ite eleet. ed at Yesterday's Session Tho Question of Incrpnsinsr Teachers' Salaries Referred to a Committee.

An elegant palm leaf fan lay on tho desk of each member of tho board of education yosterday afternoon, for nso in lowering the torrid temperature of debate, but they wero nooded on only ono or two occasions during tho two honra1 eession. Tho air was laden with tho perfume from a lingo baskot of flowers which a kind friend had sent in aa a gift to President Hendrix, who was unavoidably absent through illness. After tho mombera had enjoyed their boauty and perfumo for a season they wero sent to tho president's homo. Before the regular business began thero waa a littlo flurry ovor tho request to compromise a suit poudiug betwoen tho board and ono Crampton, growing out of the condemnation of somo property for school purposes. Mr.

ltowo claimed that the matter should be settled to benefit tho man, but Mr. Northup claimed it was unjust and would only benefit the lawyor, who had taken an unfair advantago of tho board in tha matter. The question was finally roferred to tbo law committee with power. Dr. Grillin then, in an extended speech of culnrfv.

uiimmiitnrl FFendrix as his own successor to tho prosidencv of the board. Most of hiB remarks woro inaudible owing to the hum of conversation from tho ante room ami Hi: Cottier, who presided, waB compotieu to ass. ior Quiet. Dr. Grilun moved that tho secretary ca6t ono ballot as tho expression of tho unanimous r.f t.hfi linnrrl In flio mutter.

The motion was seconded in an address full of hearty praise by Nelson J. (iates. Mr. Howe objected to tho method, aitnougn no said ho intended to vote for Mr. Hendrix, as he believed it wolilU bo a better oxprossion oi tno wishflH of tho members to voto by ballot.

Hia objoction was sustained, and the board wont into ballot with unaries ih. j.eaio anu join. Guili'oyle as tellors. r. During the progress of the ballot Mr.

This motion was lost and Mr. Winter's waa carried, but it had no effect on the interested parties, who remained whero they wero all through tho session. nr.

I'owou maue an eiiort, to iun juuee a motion, but tho chairman rofused to recognize him, and the balloting proceeded without further interruption, the result being that Mr. Hendrix received 27 votes, Guilfoylo 1, which he protested ho did not oast, and 3 were blank. 'Ilrfeo of those present rcinseu to vote. air. uaviui nnuicu to oxplain why ho did uot care to vote, to the effect that ho did uot oxpeot to ho a member after the present meeting: out tho mourners uiu noi care to hear him, and an objection to his remarks was mado and sustained.

Dr. McLean nominated tor re oieotion to tno vico prosiuoncy John uottier, as a man caimmo of fulfilling the duties of tho office and with friends everywhere. Mr. Cottier vacatod tho chair in favor of Mr. Rowo whilo the voto was Bending, and was elected" by 37 votes, Mr.

Mr. Clyne, who said ho had nominated Mr. Naughton for the place betoro Mr. HarknO.sa had been in the board, seconded the nomination, as did Messrs. Guilfoylo and Aubery.

He receivod twonty nine votes. Mr. McNamee nominated Mr. Cunningham for chief engineer, and Mr. Tealo seconded the motion.

Ho received twenty nine votes. Mr. Winter moved to continue tho attendance clork and agents in office at tho pleasure of the board. Thia was amended by fixing the limit of time as tho next meeting of tho board, and moving that tho annual meeting, when it adjourns, adjourn until that time. Tho board then re elected Clerk Emerson Vi Kcyes, Musical Director A.

Dr. McLean moved that certain drawing models be placed on tho list for use in the grammar schools. Ho explained that through error thoy had beon placod on tho list for nso in the central school, whoro they wero not needed. Dr. Uriflin strenuously objected to tho motion.

He hail the proposed luodebi brought iu and exhibited them to tho membors. Thoy consisted of a numbor of stinaros, conoa, cubes and othor shapes of wood, and ho characterized them as trnmpjry for which tho board was asked to pay $10. The members wero inclined to look on hia exhibition as a Joko. IIo claimed tho purohaso of these thinga was inspired by tho head drawing teacher, and said that a previous system had been adopted, but had been put to no practical nso. and could not bo found in auy of tho schools.

Dr. McLean said his school was using it, but Dr. Griffin told him sharply that ho waB not addressing him. Dr. MfLoan fi.iid that ovidenco of tho useful" nesa of tho plan was shown in tho drawing exhibitions.

Colonel Culyer said ho was Buroriaod that any intelligont man should make such an untimely onslaught on tho system as Dr. Griffin had and characterize the models as rubbish. This they wore not. Dr. Grillin then claimed they wero not properly advertised for and that by competition thoy could bo had at less expense, but tho motion waB Carried in spite of his opposition.

Tho followiug amendment to the bylaws was then offered by Mr. Miller: Graduates of tho training scliool may bo appointed to any primary grade and thoir oxperi euco in tho training school shall enfitlo them to bo credited as having had two years' experience aa a teacher in the public schools, and they Bhall receive for tho liiMt year of teaohing and thereafter the increase provided in those bylaws for teachers in primary grades who havo taught li ve vt'iii H. Tho matter was roferred to tho training school committee. A proposition to refer to the school houso coin mitteo with powor the question of placing now desks in a couplo of rooms in scliool No 11, rousod the iro of Mr. Bouck.

Ho called it snap judgment and said it wao douo with a knowledge that, tin could not, attend the meeting of tho com mittee at which it would bo acted on. As a mem ber of tho local committee of No. 11 he thought he riutfht to know more about it. Mr. ilarkness thought Mr.

Bouck waa making an unnecessary exhibition of bad temper, and Mr. Bouck retorted that ho would do it every time ho waa imposod upon. Mr. Harkuess thought Mr. Bouck would show excollont judgment if he controlled a very had temper.

Ho claimed hu did not know the question was coming before tho committee when tho dato of tho inoeting waa ilxed upon, and Mr. Bouck acknowledged this to ho a fact. Mr. McNamee made peaeo by securing tho adoption of a motion that the local committee and tho Bchool houso oommitteo act on the matter jointly not earlier than July 0. Mr.

Dresser, who introduced the first resolution, explained that ho had not intended to offend Mr. Bouck, but that it was a caso of necessity and he had consulted the other member of the committee. At tho uamn timo he had a vivid memory of the time when Mr. Bouck had not seen lit to consult him in such a case. Mr.

Harkness presented an amendment to the bylaws creating the office of associate superintendent of construction. Mr. Weir offered ns a substitute a resolution that the schoolhouso committee designate an associate from the employes of tho office and lix hia duties. Ho explained that it would take two months to adopt tho bylaw, by whioh time tho rush in the office would bo ovor. ir Wiirl.

nwu nimnrirtni! Mr. Weir's motion, and waa making an earnest spoeoh in its behalf when the chairman announced tho hour of 7 and an adjournment. The only other matter of importance before tho board was a petition from tho primary teachers for an increase of salary. It was referred to (he joint salaries and teachers committee for action. Tho signatures to tho petition woro on forty sheets of foolscap, and contained tho names of all tho city and county officials and many leading citizens iu private lifo.

It road aa followa: BnooKiAN, N. July 1, 1S00. "To tha Uoara of Education of the Vttu of llvook 1211 "Gentlemen The undersigned, eomo of whom are teachera in your employ and others citizens and taxpayers of Brooklyn, respectfully request that tho Bchcdulo of salaries of teachers in all grados, except the firBt and second grammar, bo bo modified that it may road as follows; "An examination of the graduated salaries thus preBonted shows that nothing iB sought savo that which is justified by existing condition, of which the following most challenge attention; "First The salary paid through your board to those beginning to teach, who aro rarely under 20 years of ago, is too small to enable young women to maintain themselves in tho social cir cleB in whioh their position requires them to move. Tho toacher who does not drusB well and live, either whou at homo or boarding, in a manner befitting her position cannot secure the re. spoct of her pupils; and failing in that, sho fails as a toacher.

"Second If tho dayM work of a teachor ondod with the school, houra she could livo moro cheaply, because she horsolf could do much of the work that she now must biro others to do for her. But boaido tho many details connected with her class work that employ her timo after her pupils are dismissed she'eannot teach skillfully oven tho most elementary subject unloss eho understands lis relation to highor branches. Henco evory teaohor needs leisure for study, and thia leisure is expensive "Third The increase of Balary has not kept paco with tho required increase of cultivation and preparation. The graduates of the training school rocoive for tno first year $100, or $7.09 week. Thisreduction to weekly pay moots seems necessary for the fact that tho salaries are paid iu ten payments has lod to misapprehension on tho part of some who think the teachers aro paid for twelve months in tho year.

After having taught snccessf ally for six years, they obtain tho maximum salaries of $550 and $575. Tuoh6 are Balarios of primary grades. In tho throe lowest grammar grados, whero experience, skill, sound judgment and exact information on many subjeots are essential, tho teachers receive $000 per year, or $11.53 a week. Can those requirements be found for this sum That they have beon and are, is true; bat how much longer will this be the case "Fourth Women who havo boon engaged In teaohing for some years, aa it is the case with all in the grammar grades, may be regarded as heads nf fomiliaa. fn ir.

Fifth So disoouragmg is tho Outlook that within tbe laBt year several teachers, after having fitted themselves for positions and received their appointments, hare resigned, and sought employment in other callings whero they aro better paid and have no demands on their time after business hours. "Sixth The demand for teachers in Brooklyn exceeds the supply. To adjust this matter one of two steps must be tanen; ewner me require iuenta of those permitted to teach In pur sohool most be lessened or the teachers' salaries "Seventh In no other department Of labor does tho state interfere by the, establishment of ftmnopolr does iif icftohijig.

Thia particular trainer iB a man who never allows his iouguo to wag too freely, who never takes tho public into his confidence and who knows as ranch about training as any man in tho country. Ho 1b tall, wiry and aa brown as a Western Bcout. Ho does not wear kids, as is the fashion now among trainers for wealthy turfmen, and it is said he is not above doing auy sort of work in the stable When tho services of an extra pair of hands are required. Mri Rogers wears a singularly innocent expression on his sunbrownod features whon ever he appears in tho paddock or in tho vicinity of tho betting ring.

Ho looks as if ho wonld like to have some one tell him how to bet his money, and asks so many questions in his quiet way about this and that horse as to convoy tho impression ho has not been paying much attention to the races. To those who know what a sly, keen, well informed individual Mr. Eogors is it is a treat to see him listening, iu hia apparently trustful way, to some smart bookmaker reeling off information about the capabilities of horses. When tho bookmaker is through the guileless trainer looks straight into the oracle's oyos and thanks htm for his information in such a homely but oarnoat way aa to make his informant beliovo that Mr. Rogers is a devilish nice but very innocent sort of chap.

But bookmakers do not visit him in search of information as often as they did in formor years, for tho veteran bookies have come to believe that visiting Eogers is timo wasted. They prefer to watch the slato of bookmakor Bwatta, the only bookmaker on the turf who really possesses Rogers' friendship. In addition to being one of the best trainers in tho oountry, Eogors iB a great strategist. Ho delights in planning a grand coup in striking the hotting ring with a winner at long odds when least expected. Ho brought out one of these winners yosterday tho Belle of Nan tura colt.

Tho colt was entered in a 3 year old woerjatakes, distance mile and one furlong, along with Major Daly, Wattorsoii.Kingabridgo and Miss Belle. A few days ago the Nautura oolt ran in a race at tho Sheopahoad bay conrao, and did not run 1 2 0. And so yestorday the booKmatcors thought he was of no account. The odds against tho colt oponod at 10 to 1 ana graauauy advanced to 30 to 1. Somo smart agents of still smarter bookmakers had soon Mr.

Rogers, and ascertained that ho was so firmly convinced his colt would not bo ilrst, second or third, that the hotting ring said tho winner would bo either Major Daly or Watterson. Tho betting settlod down to 3 to 5, Major Daly; aH to 1, Watterson; Miss Belle, 15 to Kingsbridgo, 8 to Uello ol Nan tura, 30 to 1. Largo sums wero Dettoa on Daly and Wattorson. In tho meantime Mr. Rogers' agents wero quietly slipping $10 antt $20 beta on his colt here and there throughout the ring.

Major Daly took the traok at tho drop of tho flag, and for fivo or Bix furlongs aeomod a winner. Then tho Nantura colt, who had been' running under a pull, took tho lead with Miss Bello at her saddle girths. Tho boy on Rogers' colt outrode old man Hay ward on Miaa Bello, came away in fine stylo and won by two lengths. Miss Bollo got tho place, Watterson ran third. Thoro waa broad smilo on Mr.

Itogors' face when a bookmaker's agent said to him: That raco was quite a surpriso to yon, wasn't it?" "Yos," repliod tho guileless trainer, a smilo stealing over hia bronzed and innocent looking countenance." I waa surprised to soo Misa Bello so near Captain Brown's colt at tho liuiah." Cantawav II. with 128 ponnds up, could Uo no bettor than run third to Eon in a niilo and three sixteenths raoe. But tho finish was close, Lon winning a grand race by a neck from Wilfred, who beat Castaway a short head. King Eric waa out down as tho horses wore on tho turn into the homestretch, and but for the accident would probably havo won. To day winds up a vory suc cessful meeting.

To morrow tho Brighton neaou traok will open. The Gnttenborg pooplo wero trying yesterday to perauado bookmakers tore main away from Brighton, but the effort will prove futilo. Mr. Engoman should give Mr. Eagan a medal.

Guttenborg will ruu against Brighton, but raco goors will undoutiteuiy pai rnnizo tho track by tho ocean in oreforenco to tho hot and distant track in tho wilds of Guttenborg. There will be a grand card for the opening at Brighton. Following is a summary of tho racing: rt A ll OlKll tn AnnmlanlA UI DO fO I IUI Oil ipi.l.Vy third; weight 10 pounds abovo tho Futurity course.

Last Friday Henry Alexandria, colored, and a boy named Saligno, of Island Trees, near Farm ingdale, went into an orchard to gather some cherries. Alexandria climbed a tree and the boy remained on the ground. Alexandria taunted tho lad and refused to throw any chorrios down to him.

Saligno lost his temper and threw a atone at Alexandria which struck him in tho eye. The severity of tho blow caused him to lose his balance and ho foil out of tho tree, almoat breaking his neck and injuring his spine severely. Ho was taken home insensible. He lingered in great agony until yesterday afternoon when he diod. Last night Coronor Hortou impaneled a Jury and adlonrnod the inqnoat until Monday.

Every little while somo reformer public education appears with some grievance against the public schools and some new system, of education, partial or complete.

Perhaps he insists on a greater attention to physical eduoation, and ho would convert onr schools into gymnasiums and have our scholars taught how they might develop them Belvea in muscle and strength of lungs. Physical he tolls ns, 'is tho necessary tore runner of intellectual education and relatively is of moro importance' Hid this reformer his wav every teacher would bo an athlete and evory scholar athletic: his notion is aaua mens in sano corpora. Perhaps the reformer is a firm believer in manual education. Ho desires that soholais should become proficient in tho fundamentals of tho arts, schools should be turned into workshops, teachers into mechanics, in minds ero ho sees scholars cradnato proficient in tno use of the hammer, saw and piano and fitted for the mechanic's life. Or perhaps tho reformer in religious and behaves that thorough biblical instruction should bo imparted in the common schools.

Ho would have tho intelligent emotions educated along religions lines. There is sneh a thing as getting too much for one's money. May we not expect or demand too much from the public schools 1 1 his iB an ace of specialization. May not these different reformers be satisfied by establishing, sepa afe schools in which their particular hobbies may be taught Ho surely aB we devoto attention to many specialties so surely will our energies be dissipated. A thick piece of rubber becomes thinner and thinner the harder it is.

pulled. The Bchools attend primarily to intellectual education. They aro doing something not much with physical training. lhey are not neglecting morn! culture, but in the name of our common school system I protest against the repeated demands to over load our curriculum with things that can bo better taught elsewhere. Teachers aro wonderful creatures laughter and applause, but one teacher cannot be.

an athlete a mechanic, a scholar, with ability to import instruction at ono and the same time. Special branches ought to mean special teachers in special schools. A word to the teachers. Elevate teaching tothe dignity of a profession. I hope to live to see tho timo when a teacher's diploma will mean to her bh much head work, as much honor, aa a physician's diploma means to him, or a lawyer's to him.

Teachers lire gradually awakenipg to tho fact that their destiny is in their own hands. Better wort means bettor pay. Elevating the standard of teaching means, shutting out tho incompetent. Putting a premium on careful preparation and diligent study of matter and methods means crowding out tho dronos. Bo long as people at largo feel that everyone can teach, so long will teaching remain a business, not a profession.

Let us insist that professional training shall precede professional work. I urn glad to be able to speak to a school where tho teachers havo evinced so great a desire for self improvement and where at repeated teachers' meetings you have had, through tho etVorts of your very able principal, opportunities for listening to somo of (lie test Ollucifmvr ri3 01 teachers who are doing so grandly neeo little exhorting to continue in their efforts to mako teaching a profession than which none other is more honorable, more useful, moro dignified.
