THE BEOOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1900. the. New Chilrcn library, 98 South Elliott on "Psychlasls: Healing Trough tho Soul." Mr. Marin has recently published a book dealing with this subject, which Is one that Is now occupying the thought of people, and the library management has invited him to tell something of his work and the subject of which It treats.

The admission is free. It doesn't make any difference whether you believe in the modern theory and speak of the causes of diseases as referable to germs, microbes or bacilli, or whether you use the older and better understood terms of "humors" and "blood diseases Hood's Sarsaparilla cures them allJTJST THE SAME. It cures those eruptions, boils and pimples which appear in the cures salt rheum or eczema and relieves the itching and burning; adapts itself equally well to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles due to generally weak condition and thin, anaemic blood cures nervous troubles, debility and that tired feeling, which just as surely indicate that the blood is lacking in vitality. This' is not merely modern theory but it is solid, up to date fact. Is the best Spring Medicine, blood purifier, stomach, brain and nerve tonic that money can buy.

$32,141.50 ALREADY RAISED. Heads of Departments Suggest a Subscription of $5 Each. Prom Non Members. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: We, the heads of the several departments of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, wish, through your paper, to say a word or two to your readers. The Institute has now an opportunity to buy the Tissot collection paintings repre senting the life of Christ and numbering about 400 pictures, for the remarkably low sum of $60,000.

It is the unanimous judgment of those who have given the matter great thought that there is no other notable collection of works of art now purchasable, or likely to be for years to come, which, for the price asked for this, approaches comparison, in interest and BROOKLYN SOCIETY There is little to be added to the paragraphs already printed here regarding that dance at the Pouch Gallery on the evening of April 18 (Wednesday), to be known as the Charity Ball, though its beneficiary has. not as yet been made public, save one interesting point. This is and Mrs. Calvin Hull especially emphasizes it that the older element society is wanted quite as much as the dancing sets for that night. The theory here Is of importance and is worth stating.

An occasion like this, intended to be an impressive and grand function, should be on a higher plane than the ordinary subscription dance. It should represent society in its very broad sense, not merely the young man and young woman clement. Such an attendance the manager of this new Charity Bail, to become an annual spring event if this first succeeds, is in hopes of securing. Miss Hilde C. Beck's attendants at her wedding to Alfred Opdyke on the afternoon of March 28 will be her cousin.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In your issue of the nth inst. In the obitu ary column, we find mention of the death of a woman 7(1 years of age, being one ot the children who welcomed Lafayette to this country in 1S30. As his last visit here was In 1821, just 70 years ago, she could scarcely have remembered his visit. Perhaps the error is in giving her ago instead of 80. The writer of these lines, being born SeDtem ber 13, saw Lafayette on his viat'lt to New Haven, August 21, 1S24, being then ill his ninth year A.

B. Brooklyn, March 13, 1900. HEALING THROUGH THE SOUL. Onw Friday evening the Rev, Charles H. Mann, of Orange, will deliver an address in FOR HOMELESS WOMEN.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The Brooklyn Bureau of Charities maintains, In connection with its central office, a lodging house where homeftss women may be provided with comfortable shelter and simple but wholesome meals.

Women who have no money are furnished with lodgings and meals and afforded opportunity to make payment in work. It is the purpose of the committee In charge ot the home to make it a place where any woman without a home or friends may find a quiet, clean and comfortable resting place, where she can feel that she Is paying for what she receives, thus maintaining her self respect.

Captain Carl Ullenaeness, president of tha Norwegian Lutheran Deaconnesses' Home and Hospital, has outlined a brief but interesting history of the institution.

The work began in 1882, the first seed being sown by Mrs. Anna Bors, wife of the then Norwegian Consul Gen eral in New York City, and the Rev. Mr. Mortense, then pastor of the Norwegian Seaman's Church in Brooklyn, asked Sister Elizabeth Fedde in Norway to come to this country and work as a deaconness in the metropolis. Sho came in 1SS3 and ten days iater a meeting was called at the residence of the Rey.

Mr. Hansteen, at 122 Second place, Brooklyn, to which those who were interested were in vited. At this meeting the Norwegian Deaconesses' work of Brouklyn was first inaugu i tated, the statutes made and adopted. In tho month of June of that year three small rooms wero rented at 109 William street, next doop to the Norwegian Seaman's Church, and in that church the work was consecrated on the 11th of June, 1SS3. The need of larger accommodations and a hospital was scon felt, especially for the many sick Norwegians, as it was impossible to do all that was desired at the other hospitals.

At a meeting held at 109 William street in February ISSu, it was decided to get a mortgage debt of SS.OOO. hope the public will continue to aid us as much as lies in their power to keep this good work going.

Hin rlchs. INTEREST IN IRRIGATION. People More Concerned About the Subject Than Any Other Before the Census Sureau. Washington, March 14 "No investigation by the census office has aroused a more active and sympathetic interest than that relating to land reclamation by irrigation," says Hy drographer Newell, in charge of irrigation in both the census office and the Geological Survey. "The East is quite as much alive to the importance of the subject as the West.

Its manufacturers and jobbers see in the growing West a market of great absorbing capacity. The Canadians have set an example to the United States in the business like way in which they have gone about the problem of the public domain. They also have vast tracts of arid land lying east of the Rocky Mountains and north of Montana. In spite of a relatively low temperature they have demonstrated the success of irrigation in a broad and practical manner. "Instead bf allowing development to proceed in a haphazard way, they drew a lesson from failures and mistakes on this side of the boundary and first made an accurate survey to show the location and character of the irrigable lands, the sources of supply from which these lands can he watered and the possibilities of regulating the flow of streams by reservoirs.

"The people of the adjacent State of Montana, seeing the good effects of such a policy, are eager to have similar surveys made of the public lands of that state in order to show at a glance, on appropriate maps, the lands that may be irrigated and water sources for their reclamation and (by reports) the cort of and benefits to be derived from adequate systems of storage reservoirs and high line canals. As a preliminary step, the census office is ascertaining what canals are now in operation: the extent and value of the existing works and the area and production irrigated lands. Director Merriam desires that ail irrigation schedules be filled out and returned as promptly as possible and that irrigators who have not received such schedules will at once write for them." BOWERY'S "OOM PAUL" DEAD. Ernest "Weisseng erber, a Manhattan Character, Passes Away Suddenly. Ernest Weissengerber, 79 years old, was found dead in his room in the lodging house at 268 Bowery, Manhattan, shortly after' 12 o'clock this morning.

Tie old man had lived in the place for two years, his expenses being borne by some charitable person. On account of. his facial resemblance to President Kru ger of the Transvaal he was familiarly known about tho Bowery as "Oom Paul." Last night a lodger in the house heard the sound of a fall in the' old man's room. He notified the night clerk, who found Weissengerber lying dead on tho floor xl his apartments. An ambulance surgeon expressed the opinion that death had been, due to natural causes.

The body was removed to the Morgue. SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY. Officer Kane to Be Tried on Charges to Be Made. Sergeant Murphy of the Herbert street station has made a report to Chief Devery relative to the arrest of Patrolman Joseph A. Kane, last Saturday, on a charge of assault and intoxication.

The report sets forth that Kane is attached to the Fifth District Court in. Brooklyn. Last Saturday he had a off and became intoxicated. He struck Frederick Haussman of 159 Hamburg avenue with his billy and afterward entered the saloon of Louis Mertz at 343 Broadway and pointed his revolver at the proprietor. He afterward, while leavins the saloon, fell on the sidewalk and cut his head.

Chief Devery suspended Kane without pay and the Police Board has sustained the Chief, and ordering that charges be made. UNIVERSITY WINS. Mrs. Dr. Bates of Portchester, Westchester County, died some time ago, leaving an estate of about $100,000.

Most of it was in real estate. She bequeathed the bulk of the estate to the Michigan University and the heirs, 'who had been cut off, contested in the Supreme Court, on the ground that the University of Michigan is a foreign corporation and as such could not take real estate in this state. The regents of the university engaged J. Edward Swanslrom as counsel and the case was tried yesterday In White Plains before Justice Keogh in the equity term. Justice Keogh gave decision in favor of the University of Micliipm.

EDUCATIONAL ALLIANCE. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, March 14 The Criterion Educational Alliance of Brooklyn has filed articles of in corporatlcn with tho Secretary of State. Its objects aro of a literary and social nature, and directors for the first year re as follows: Isaac Hirschbach. Abraham Gussow, David M. Dlght, Henry C.

Samuels, Samuel Mothuer, Henry O. Marks, C. Manes and Isidor H. Lewin of Brooklyn. instructiveness to the great body of our people, with this series of 100 canvases, picturing so vividly and perfectly the life of Christ told us in the gospels.

Its possession by the Institute and its installation at the Museum crowning the Acropolis of Brooklyn, Reservoir Hill, would draw Brooklyn people thither, as to a shrine, and be an educating influence of immense power upon the youth in and out of our schools, Sunday and secular. A great museum cannot be gotten together without much personal sacrifice, and it is well for citizenship that it cannot. The collection of its stores depends largely, and should depend upou, the generosity of the people living about it. We cannot afford, as citizens, to be indifferent to its needs, and we shall not be if we regard our duty in the matter as a high privilege and enter something of ourselves into the treasures it is accumulating. "Where your treasufla is, there will your heart be also." Four hundred and ninety four persons, mostly members of the Institute, have subscribed to the Tissot fund $32,141.50, more than half of the amount asked for the paintings.

If those members who have not yet given anything, reinforced by only a few Brooklynitcs not yet shall give $5 apiece the needed sum would Be raised. Bat there are very many members and non members who on learning of our need will give multiples of that sum. "A strong pull" and "a pull all together" and the' thing is done and the paintings shall forever grace our Parthenon on the Hill. Unfortunately or shall we not rather say fortunately? we cannot make it a "long pull." Our option for the purchase at that price expires with the present month of March. Never did the wisdom of "Bi3 dat qui cito dat" so stare one in the face as now.

If we do not give quickly for this purpose, we cannot give at all. All checks should be drawn to the order of "The Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences," and should be mailed to Professor Franklin W. Hooper, director, 502 Fulton street, Brooklyn. Let us hasten to bury this man under a shower of. these missives.

Do not regard us as insistent and persistent, please, if we sugest that you send the check to morrow morning before you go to business.
