Opinion of the Public to Be Ascertained by Balloting.

"Shall the schools close on the 6th?" (the date set for the annual parade of the Sunday school children of the Western District) is a question that interests many households in this borough. The answer is of supreme importance to a small army of Sunday school children who have for weeks past looked forward with pleasurable anticipation to Anniversary Day. Nor is interest confined to the younger members of the community, for the exercises and celebration incident to the occasion have for many years been considered a feature in Sunday scbooi circles in tsrooK lyn. In order to ascertain the opinion of the public on the question now before the Board ot Education the firm of A. D.

Matthews' Sons has prepared a ballot which appears In to day's advertisement. The voting will take place at the store, Fulton street and Gallatin place. The Fallot may be cut from the Eagle or a similar ballot obtained by applying at the store. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: As a member of the Men's Bible Class of the Gqspel Mission House, Pulaski street, near Reld avenue, I desire that the Board of Education will grant our request, namely, to close the public schools during the Anniversary parade of this division, which will be on June 6, 1902. Since you have kindly undertaken to present our petitions to the board which meets next Tuesday, please add mine.

Y. Sanitary Utilization Co. LOWEST BIDDER IS OPPOSED. Charged With. Attempting to Secure Control in Perpetuity by Temporary Sacrifice.

The Board of Estimate will attempt this afternoon to solve the Brooklyn garbage problem, about which of late there has been much discussion. To day the general impression about the city buildings was that the New York Sanitary Utilization Company, whose bid was by far the lowest of all received, would win, as it did in the case of Manhattan and the Bronx, notwithstanding the stiff fight put up by its opponents. The New York Sanitary Utilization Company, which bid for and secured the Manhattan and Bronx contract last summer, at $232,000 a year, bid for the Brooklyn contract $47,990, or at a rate per ton of about one third that of the Manhattan contract. The bid was $43,010 lower than that of its next competitor, McGill McCarthy, who offered to undertake the contract for $91,000 a year. The two other bidders were much higher, E.

J. McKeever's offer being to do the work for $139,000 a year. Edward La Chapelle, John Pierce and James Dunne asking 5174,000. All the bidders who were passed over by Commissioner Woodbury, who approved ol the New York Sanitary Utilization Company's offer, protested to the Board of Estimate, which has to confirm the award before any contract can be made, uniting in seeking to defeat it. The Board of Estimate has held two long public hearings on the subject, listening tc all parties.

Tho disappointed bidders attempted to show that the Sanitary Company's bid was made low purposely to kill off opposition and future competition, and it was urged on their behalf that it would be cheaper in the end for tho city to awardths contract to a higher bidder. The question of methods also received a good deal of attention, the contest being between one that by incineration destroyed all the material, and the sanitary company's process, by which it is reduced and various by products manufactured out of it. The general question of nuisance at Barren Island also Came in for consideration, it being pointed out that even if the lowest bidder was chosen, present conditions at Barren Island would not be changed, since there are other similar contracts in force. CUT OUT PART OF CODICIL. Abuse and Ungratefulness Charged to a Beneficiary Named in Original Will.

The decision of Surrogate Church in the will case of the late George Alger was handed down to day. Two codicils to the Alger will were contested when offered for probate on the ground that they had been revoked by the testator before his death. On the first codicil Mr. Alger had drawn crossmarks in pencil across all of the important provisions, including the signature, and had written the word "cancelled" in two places. Similar cross marks were drawn through the first clause of the second codicil and these words were added at the foot of the attestation: "Brooklyn, April.

The codicil In the within is this day, 20th, 1S95, cancelled for personal abuse and ungratefulness on her part. George Alger, 203 12th street, In the City of Brooklyn. N. Surrogate fChurch holds that these revocations are legal and binding, for these reasons: "It is not necessary that a canceling should only be evidenced by the drawing of lines or cross lines on the face of the instrument; for instance, revenue stamps, which were recently required to be applied to checks and notes, were cancelled by the drawer of the check placing his initials, together with the date, on the same. "Banks have been in the habit of cancelling checks by an instrument which outs a slit in the face of the check where it was written upon "Other Institutions cancel obligations by having an instrument which punches out the word 'cancelled' across the face of the instrument.

"Certainly it seems that a person who it capable of writing at the end of an instrument that it is his intention nnd wish to cancel the same that bis act should be entitled to as much credit as to those of a person who simply draws a line across the same, and states to a third party that he does It for the purpose of cancelling It. "It seems to us, therefore, that by those acts of the testator there has been a sufficient cancellation of these codicils to effectuate the revocation of the same, and, there fore, the probate of these codicils shoulo be denied." HIS BED A PUSH CART. Jacob Schneider, Aged 13, Now Suffers Prom Exhaustion and Exposure. Misfortune seems to have pursued Jacob Schneider since his advent into the world thirteen years ago. He was puny and sickly from his birth, and as he grew up he grew more delicate, and could not amuse himself with other children of his ago, and he found his sole comfort in his mother.

She was mother and playmate in one and when she died three years ago he nearly grieved himself to death. Then his father married again, but the new mother could not replace the old in little Jacob's heart. Perhaps she did not try. Anyhow, when he became so sick that he could not crawl about any more his father had to send him to the Lebanon Hospital, in Manhattan, from whence he was discharged as cured four weeks ago and came back to his old home at 63 Moore street, Williamsburgh. Then he learned that his father had left his stepmother and gone no one knew whither.

Jacob made a nest for himself In a pushcart in the rear of his old home, but he was too feeble to look for I anything to do and kind hearted neighbors fed him. Through sleeping out nights He finally contracted rheumatism and some one summoned an ambulance for him yesterday and he was taken to St. Catharine's Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition from exhaustion and exposure. Apparently He Only Made quiries, but Policeman Locked Him Up. In CROWD YELLED "KIDNAPPER!" Arthur Allison the Prisoner Had Separated From His Wife, and Was Hunting His Boy.

The cyy of "kidnapper," between and 9 o'clock Saturday night, in the vicinity of Marks place, claused a big crowd and much excitement in that neighborhood. The trouble was due, it "is alleged, to a man named Arthur Allison, who boards at Washington Btr'ee't. Allison is 30 years and says he is a salesman by occupation, the police could nnd no trace that be been regularly employed anywhere. He saw little Willie Levine, 3 years old, having his hair cut in a barber shop on Saturday afternoon, and began to make inquiries regarding the boy. He asked an older brother the name of the boy, and was told that it was Levine.

The brother asked what the man wanted to know for. He answered that he just wanted to find out. Then he went away. It was about 4 o'clock when he left, but returned about 8:30 o'clock, and insisted going to the apartment of Louis Levine, 6 St. Marks place.

Mrs. Levine, who was in at the time, was much startled by the manner in which the man acted and she made an appeal for protection to the neighbors. It was then that the cry of "kidnaper" startled the people on the block. Allison subsequently explained that the boy, Willie' Levine, resembled a child of his that his wife took away from him two years ago. The boy was then about 4 years old.

Allison said that his wife took the child to a sister in Paterson, N. and that they (husband and wife) parted for good. Allison said that he did not know but what his wife had come to Brooklyn and brought the child with her. While Allison was talking Louis Levine, the father of the boy, came home. Warm words were exchanged between tho two men and then Allison left.

The older brother of the little boy also left the house and went over to Officer Michael J. Hynes, who was at Third avenue and Bergen street. He gave a description the man to Officer Hynes, who found Allison standing in a dark hallway in St. Marks place, only a short distance from the home of the Levines. Officer Hynes took Allison to the Levine's, where he was identified as the man who had done all the talking about little Willie Levine.

Then the officer placed Allison under arrest and took him to the station house. The Levine boy was also taken there. When Allison was searched a number of pawn tickets was found in his possession. Ho was arraigned in the Myrtle avenue court, yesterday, before Magistrate Naumer, on a charge of being a suspicious person. He washeld in $500 bail and the examination was adjourned until to morrow.

Allison explained that he worked as a waiter in a building at Fulton street and Broadway. Manhattan, but the police say that he could give no account of his business affairs for the last two months. Ho is a respectable looking man resembling a Chinaman somewhat in his appearance by his prominent cheek bones. He wore glasses ,1 1 1 anu was uib. mm me tion of his bat.

The earrings, which are valued at $180, were recovered from a pawnshop in Manhattan. Mr. Tighe thinks that the rest of the jewelry was pawned or sold in Jersey City. THE STORY A FABRICATION. A Manhattan morning paper, under big head lines, told of a car returning from Coney Island last night crowded to the roof; how it caught fire during the rainstorm, and how the dress of one Mamie Cahill of Lawrence avenue, Parkvllle, caught fire, severely burning her and causing a big panic, and so on.

The Parkville police have no record of such an accident; Mamie Cahill is not known to residents of Parkvllle, and there is no drug store within a half mile that heard ot such an accident. The paper stated that it occurred at Webster and Coney Island avenues. In one of these drug stores, an official of the railroad was a visitor up to 11 o'clock last night, and he heard nothing of the affair. At the offices of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad it was said that no such accident had been reported by any of the employes. Michael Garvin was the name given by the morning paper to the conductor in charge of the car.
