Chosen as a Hegular Army Recruiting Officer. Major Henry W. Hubbell, of the Forty seventh United States Volunteer Infantry, has been appointed recruiting officer at 82 Court street, taking the place of Lieutenant Russell C.

Langdon, Third United States Infantry, who has been transferred to the Philippines at his own request. Major Hubbell is well known to Now Yorkers as Colonel of the Two Hundred and First Now York Volunteers during the Spanish American war. He desires to get as many men as possible for the new Forty seventh Regiment Volunteer Infantry, which is to see service in the Philippines. Lieutenant Langdon will leave Brooklyn to morrow for San Francisco and will take the first transport from there to the Philippines. His regiment is now stationed on the outpost line north of Manila.

WARREN W. FOSTER. Sketch of the Secretary of the Dewey Reception Committee Is a Well Known Lawyer. It is unusual as it is praiseworthy to ilnd a man in active business or professional life who at the same time takes an earnest, energetic, influential and withal, unassuming part in politics.

Here is the way a Kansas editor who saw the Iowa at 'Puget Sound expresses his disappointment: ''I expected to see a vast mountain of iron and steel with great guns sticking out in every direction, while from her bowels would come continuously a deep, hoarse growl like a bulldog baffled ol its prey. Instead, it looked more like a raft with little houses and cheese boxes set on it, and the only growling we heard was from the non commissioned officer who said we couldn't come aboard." A French journal has asked twenty live prominent women of Paris what man in history they would hold up as an example for their children to emulate. This is not an easy one. Just try to answer it for yourself and see if you do not discover objections to almost every noted man or woman. It used to be said that it was the ambition of each American mother that her son might be President, and she had a firm belief that he would be greater than Washington or Lincoln.

Though this hope is not expressed quite so freely as it used to be, we may' labor under no delusion that fond mothers have ceased to dream over the cradle of the rnan child. A good Indiana Methodist has objected to Kipling stories in the library of his Sunday school as profane. Now wait for the returns when thetfDooley book gets before the children of the English board schools. It is to be used there to stimulate interest in the late Spanish war. Just imagine the bewilderment of the poor rural child who never heard an Irish brogue when he encounters the speech of Mr.

Dooley and Mr. Hennessy, and the wrath of the pro American parent if he hears of Dooley catling Dewey "Cousin George." It was noted in this column not long ago that Elihu Root's father was known in Hamilton College as "Cube" Root and his brother as 'Square" Root, and I asked what Elihu was called. with a depth of knowledge and a readiness of inference which compels me to hang my head in s'hame, answers: "Extract of Cube Root, of course." If you want to see the finest exhibition of the joy of living to be found in this settlement go to the Aquarium in Battery Park and watch the harbor seals swim in the big tank on tine first floor. There is joy that knows no measure and bliss without alloy. Things are not always what they seem.

This highly original and important reflection was suggested to me the other day as I was coming down town in a trolley car In the same seat with an advertising solicitor. He called my attention to a card in the car saying: "See that advertisement, up there? Yes. "Well, did you ever stop to analyze the statements in it? It says that you may occupy all the space on It for a year for $4.80, and that 185,000 passengers will ride in the car and see It. Then it tells you that to reach 185,000 people once in a high grade weekly paper will cost you $5 if you use only an inch of space, and that you cannot get more than three inches in a dally of 185,000 circulation for the same money. You are supposed to be convinced that you get much better value for the money if you Invest in bhe street car card, which must measure at least ten by twenty Inches.

Now, look at the figures a moment. The car carries 185,000 passengers a year. It runs 3G5 days, that means that it carries 507 passengers a day. Everyone who rides in it at all once a day rides twice as a rule, so I may safely infer' that the car carries 254 different people each day and as it runs over the same route, those people are practically the same from one year'6 end to the other. But allowing for transients, it is not probable that on a given line more than 500 different people ride in a given car during the twelve months.

Now you see a proper basis for comparing the relative value of the two forms of advertising. For the given sum you may reach 500 people every day for a year by using the street car, or by using bhe newspaper you may reach 1S5.000 different people in one day or in one week, and to reach 185,000 people in one day by street car advertising' you would have to put tho card in 3G5 cars, which would cost you at transient rates probably ten times the sum paid for newspaper space. Interesting, isn't It? Yes. We fellows have to ksep watch of this sort of thing or else go out of business. DROWNED WHILE SEEKING AID.

Auburn, September 2 John Q. Foskette was drowned, In Gayuga Lake last night, near Aurora, He and bis father were on their way English Sailors and Firemen Wil Paralyze British Commerce if They Go Out. SHIPOWNERS REFUSE TO CONFER Strike Planned to Begin To morrow at Every Port Comment on MTc Kinley's Speech. London, September 2 No one prides himself more upon the greatness of the merchant marine than does the British subject, yet strangely enough no one is blinder to events that menace its welfare. This country is apparently on the eve of a sailors' and firemen's strike that will paralyze commerce, yet so Tar the matter has received only passing notice in the British press and has attracted practically no public interest.

The trouble arose over a manifesto to the ship owners by the Seamen's and Firemen's Union, Inviting them to confer on the question of fixing a rate for firemen and sailors on steamers of 6, and for sailors on sailing ships of 4 monthly, a slight advance In the average, wages now paid at the various British ports. The ship owners utterly ignored the union, with the result that the latter have planned a strike at every port of the United Kingdom, to commence next Monday. Joseph Havelock Wilson, Member of Parliament for Middlesborough, a Radical, but who was elected more particularly as a Labor representative, has been addressing meetings at Liverpool, Bristol, Newcastle and Glasgow. The stewards and cooks, it is said, have joined forces with the seamen, but the wage issue Is now rather secondary to the recognition of the union by the ship owners. Any offer to negotiate by the latter would probably defer and, perhaps, prevent tho proposed strike.

The men claim that though the shipping trade has improved, the workers condition has remained stationary. Already the force of the strike movement is beginning to be felt. Fearing that it would be unable to get a crew for the steamer Oceanic on its regular sailing day, Monday, tho White Star Line Steamship Company tried to have the men sign Thursday last, but the latter refused in a body. The owners of the Dominion Line steamer Cambroman and the Cunard Line steamer Sylvania met with a similar experience at Liverpool. An official of the Firemen's Union is quoted as saying he believed the strike was inevitable, but thought it would only last for a week.

the ship owners then being compelled at least to negotiate. The Shipping Gazette, speaking for the ship owners, says they are justified in ignoring the communications from the men because the union is an irresponsible and unrepresentative body. The paper referred to belittles the possibility of serious consequences from the strike and concludes by saying: "That things are not so desperately bad with our mercantile marine as to require recognition of an insignificant trade union at all costs is proved by tho increasing desire of aliens to serve on British ships as sailors. The union is once more going to do foreign seamen a good turn by throwing open new avenues of employment for them." The note of appeal in this conclusion, however, rather robs the previous optimistic assertions of their strength. The Liverpool Merchants' Service Guild has passed resolutions disapproving the threatened strike, saying the demands of the men are unreasonable and urging the officers of the merchant service to resist the men's efforts.

Unless the ship owners agree to negotiate it Is likely that next week will see the greatest blow dealt to British shipping interests in many years. The tremendous Transatlantic travel will probably first feel its effect. Major Gordon, chief purchasing agent of the British War Office, has been interviewed by a representative of the Associated Press respecting the Pittsburg contracts for cars for the Soudan railroad. He said: "The result of the Atbara bridge wad marvelous and I have no hesitation in saying we can go to the Americans for a lesson in efficient and speedy construction. It is all moonshine about time proving British construction and material better than American.

We know the articles we accept. There is no lack of patriotism about ufi. The Sirdar wants the Soudan railway thoroughly equipped and working four months from now. There is no parleying with the Americans. They are quick to recognize all possibilities, accept on the nail and produce on time.

These orders would have been kept in England, even at a higher Initial cost, but we cannot get the things done, so, perforce, we go elsewhere. At present there are thirty three Soudan orders placed in England. With the finish of the Khartoum railway we can say that the Anglo American union in the Soudan has produced the quickest and best result in engineering known to the army." The Saturday Review to day combats the asertlon of President McKinley that the Philippines belong to the United States as much as do Louisiana. Texas and Alaska, saying: "This certainly sounds strange in the mouth of politicians who are never tired of citing the grandiloquent sentiments of the Declaration of Independence. This is an assertion of the right to purchase a country from its former rulers against the wish of its inhabitants.

There is not an analogy with Alaska." The Speaker takes the opposite view, remarking: "The American ti oops in the Philippines are mandataries ofetvllization, pledged to restore orderamr maintain the interests of society in general and the commerce of the islands. We do not believe the American people will lose the chance of effecting tholr mission of civilization or leave their new possessions a derelict to be picked up and administered by the powers, who do not even condescend to profess the smallest respect for democratic Ideals." The Spectator, in the course of a longer article on the Philippines, indorses President McKlnley's speech, saying: "These words are worthy of the best traditions of the United States and show the administration does not mean to run away from the difficulties, but to face them squarely and boldly. All who know anything of the real temper of the people of America know this would be the attitude of Washington toward the situation in the Far East. But, It was none the less satisfactory to see it placed on record in such unmistakable terms." The Spectator suggests that Governor Roosevelt and Admiral Dewey are the type of a man who would make an excellent governor general of the Philippines. At tho forthcoming Worcester festival, a long established meeting of the choirs of Hereford and Gloucester, an oratorio by Professor Horatio Parker, head of the musical department of Yale University, will be rendered.

The cruiser Buffalo, which did duty at Manila, and is now being fitted with an Ice machine, new boilers, officers' quarters and new ordnance rooms, will not be ready to go into commission for two months to come. She is being fitted out as a transport to run between tho United States and the Philippines.

A gang of several hundred men is working on the Hhip at present. Repairs are being made to the old engines used to pump out stone dry dock No. 1. Tho boilers for this establishment are also being placed in the engine room to give more place for the electrical department of the Navy Yard. It will be several months before the second class cruiser Cincinnati will be ready to go into commission.

She is receiving a thorough overhauling in dry dock No. 1. During the absence of Rear Admiral John W. Philip, commandant of the Navy Yard, the high brick wall surrounding the yard and the commandant's office are being painted. Commandant Philip and wife will return from their two weeks' trip to Massachusetts on Monday.

Practical Test of Automobiles Opposition Leaders Punished for Their Action on Canal Bill. Berlin, September 2 The army maneuvers which will begin to morrow and will end September In will be of more than usual interest and importance.

The operations will be conducted on the same ground and will be largely patterned arter the Napoleonic campaign of 1S03. Half the troops engaged the Fifteenth Corps will approach the opposing forces tho Sixteenth Corps by forced marches through the Black Forest passes. After striking the plains the corps will operate along both sides of the Enz River. Tho decisive action will probably occur in Wurtemburg, between Stuttgart and Ludwigs burg. Big reviews at Carlsruhe, Straaburg and elsewhere will precede the maneuvers.

Emperor William strongly hopes to see some strategic surprises. A noteworthy feature of the maneuvers will be the presence of a number of distinguished military men from other conutries. Both the German and Russian governments have shown the greatest readiness this year in allowing each other's officers to view the army movements of their respective countries. A number of German officers will be at the Russian maneuvers, lasting five weeks, and the number of Russians who will attend the German maneuvers will be larger than over before. Great courtesy is shown by both sides.

The United States Military Attache at Berlin. Major H. T. Allen, also received an invitation to atend tho Russian maneuvers, but he will be unable to go, as he will attend tho Austrian meneuvers this week, being also accredited to the government of Austria Hungary. Thence be will go direct to the German maneuvers.

Another act of unusual courtesy is tho permission given to Colonel Samuel S. Sumner, the Military Attache of the United States Embassy at London, to participate In the German maneuvers. This is rather contrary to strict etiquette, as he Is accredited to another government. But Emperor Will. am, remembering the attentions shown by Colonel Sumner during the Cuban campaign to Count von Goetzen, the former Military Attache of the German Embassy at Washington, and other German of ficers who accompanied the United States Army during the late war, quickly granted the desired permission.

His majesty also permitted General John McO. Woodbury, sent to study the sanitary system of the German army in the field, to pursuo his studies with the Sixth Army Corps during the maneuvers in Silesia, this corps being unusually well equipped in regard to sanitary arrangements. A new feature of the maneuvers this year will be practical tests of automobiles, of which a number have been specially made for Army purposes by an Aix la Chapelle firm. The complete surrender of the government to the agrarians has had the effect of increasing the confidence and rapaciousness of the latter. The agrarian mouthpiece, the Deutsche Tages geitung, commenting, jubilantly, on the fct that the government, in closing tho Diet, went so far as to thank the "delegates who had Just insolently rejected the Emperor's pet measure," says: "Tho long expected, hoped for, bogged for sop to tne friends of the canal has not been given.

In SDite of all intriguing, lying and crushing the word has not been spoken." In view of the fact that the government declares its intention to reintroduce the canal bill at the next session of the Diet, the agrarian newspapers say they will continue the opposition to the measure. The Liberal and the larger part of the Center papers continue to bemoan tho defeat of the bill and express astonishment at the complete collapse of the government. A cabinet minister, in an interview with the correspondent of the Associated Press, said the Prussian government is resolved to break tho "opposition of the political officials to the canal bill, for which, he added, there is not rational reason. The forcible retirement of a score of such officials was meant to indicate the course to be pursued henceforth? Tho bill, he said in conclusion, will stireiy become a law. probably at the next session." Beside tho retirements, the Emperor has struck off the names of the leaders of the opposition from the court list, namely Count Von Llmburg Stlrum, Count Von Zedlitz, Count Von Mantueffel, Count Von Mlrbach and Herr Oerte.l.

The Minister of the Interior, Freihnrr Von dor Recke. has gone on an indefinite leave from which ho will probably not return to office. The Gorman press is nearly unanimous In condemning these actions, the Liberal papers because thev are held unconstitutional and do not go far enough, and the others because the punishment is considered uncalled for. How their victory has puffed up the Prussian agrarians was frequently manifested In the newspapers this week. The Deutsche Agrar correspondent advocates the extension of the provisions of the anti strike bill to agricultural laborers, forbidding the latter to strike under any circumstances under penalty of imprisonment in Jail and corporal punishment.

Another agrarian paper attributes the trouble with farm hands to too high pay. loading to drunkenness and opposition and advises the restoration of the whip as a remtKly. Throughout the week celebrations in honor of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Coetho's birth have taken place throughout Germany. Those at Frankfort and Wolmar were foremost. Tho former were attended hy Andrew D.

White, United States Ambassador, and Mrs. While, Consul General Guenther. Consul Weber of Nuremburg and Senator Mark Hanna. The government held aloof from these celebrations. The Emperor only sent a coolly worded telegram to Frankfort.

In Berlin, Goethe's monument was decorated, but the government officials did not participate in the ceremonies and the students of tho university were absent on their vacations. They will celebrate the event in November and several other universities will do the same. The naval maneuvres. so far, have not developed any special interest. Several of tho vessels engaged 'mot with severe accidents.

The Aegir and Hela. a torpedo boat, collided on Tuesday. The evolutions, thus far, have shown nothing startling. The National Zeitung says Holland would be glad to relinquish her hold on Curaeoa and Other Islands off the coast of Venezuela, but it Ih feared in Holland that the Monroe doe trlno would be applied, especially as there Is bad bloocl between Holland and Venezuela. Tho National Zeitung quotes Dutch papers to show that the experience of Spain lias not been lost on Holland and adds: "Doubtless this makes Holland desire a treaty with Germany." The Empri ss will not be able to attend any ceremonies requiring standing exertion for some time to come, as her foot has not completely healed.

Kensington Streets and Avenues Paved and Graded. Work has been begun on the Improvement of Kensington Park. The Morris Building Company is going about this work in a thorough and systematic Avenue which opens up the middle section extending from Ocean Parkway to Gravesend avenue aud from Eighteenth avenue to Avenue is to be made a model thoroughfare, the pavement will be asphalt, the walks six feet wide to match those od Ocean Parkway, curbs and gutters, rows of troos and parkins, handsome entrance posts and ornamental street lights will be the principal surface characteristics, under the asphalt the water and gas mains and electric conduits will bo extended to the lot lines to avoid any furure disturbance of the pavoments. East Second. Third, Fourth and Fifth streets will be of the same substantial character except that the pavements will be macadam to match Eighteenth avenue, with which they connect.

All tho houses on this avenue are to be artistic in design and set back from the lot line 30 feet so that there will be a space 140 feet between the fronu. In order to fix the character of these houses the company is having designs made by several architects, of houses to cost about each, which will bo built on commanding corners. This will bo a radical departure from tho usual method of employing one architect, whose ideas and taste naturally run to one style of design. Variety will be the spice of the improvement. The theory of the owners of the property is that the time is at hand when New Yorkers are going to realize the vast inequality in lot prices between New York and Brooklyn.

It is stated that, thus far. fully one half of the Inquiry for houses has been from across the river. THE ARI0N AT LAKE GEORGE. Brooklyn Singers Met With a Flattering Reception on the Hudson River Trip. (Special to the Eagle.) Lake George, X.

September 2 One hundred and sixty members of the Arion Singing Society of Brooklyn left New York for Lake George under the management of Francis H.

Mrs. Isabel Sinn Huyt, who succeeds the late Colonel Sinn, her father, said yesterday to an Eagle reporter concerning the future management of the theater: "William T. Grover, as manager, will be associated with me in conducting very department of tho business. He needs no introduction to the Brooklyn public, since he has been identified with the management of tho house ever since it first opened and has contributed largely to its successful development. His personal popularity and his Intimate acquaintance with the refined theatrical taste anil requirements of tho Brooklyn public rentier him peculiarly well adapted to cater for their amusement.

Nothing will be loft undone to deserve that, public approbation and commendation which bus necn so generously accorded in the past, nor will the traditions of the house with respect to public charities be forgotten or departed from. "It will be poen that the list, of attractions for the coming season exceeds that of any previous year, and presents a collection of the greatest dramatic entertainments ever offered In Brooklyn, within the limits of a single season, in addition to which whatever may be new, attractive and popular will be diligently sought after and produced, however costly or difficult to obtain. The best efforts of the management of the Montauk Theater will he devoted to the interest and entertainment of lte patrons. "I desire to correct a misapprehension which seems to have gotten abroad In some places of rivalry between the Montauk and Columbia Theaters. The good feeling ami interest that has always prevailed between the Montauk anil Columbia Theaters will remain undisturbed aud any increase in the prosperity of either will be a source of sincere gratification to the nther." Mr.

Hoyt said In conclusion that she desired to thank the press for the sympathy It recently extended to her. ITS ANNTTAX OUTING.

Church, Claeson. and Wllloustiby avs, 2 2 SCHOOLS READY 10 OPEN. Brooklyn's Public Educational Institutions Resume Work Monday, September I f. MANY WILL BE OVERCROWDED. It Is Likely That the TTsual Half Day Classes Will Be Formed Without Delay.

On Monday, September II. x23 pObtto school houses will throw open their doors for another school year. The first ques tion that appeals to the educational authorities Is, What will the registration be? This is a problem of tho first magnitude, for on it depends the method that must be pursued In taking care of all who. apply for instructions. That there will be an overcrowded condition to contend with is admitted, and bow to dispose of all so that may receive as much as possible will bo the first question to answer.

Tho registration in September, 1S08, was 142,911. and it is estimated that tho opening month of tho coming school year will show not less than A year ago the number of children who wore refused admission for lack of accommodation was nearly ti.000, which did not' represent over half of the actual number, many remaining away on account of the ex perience of others. This number was reduced, at one tlmo to a waiting list of about 200 and the number who were refused admission, at tho close, of the school in June was 7C1. Several years ago the question of forming half day classes to tako care of those who could not be admitted to the full session was broached, but it was not until Dr. Edward G.

Ward took charge of the Brooklyn schools that that problem was successfully handled. Through his efforts and with the consent of the School Board, ball' day and part timo classes were organised as rapidly as that in the June report it was shown that on a registration of pupils 117, CSS re ceived whole day Instructions. part timo Superintendent Ward pur poses, so iar as possime, to continue tne ior mation of part time classes until all who apply tiro taken earo of, even if it means the extension of this system up to the graduating classes. And at one time it was proposed to make the samo departure in the high schools. But this was found lo be unnecessary, al though all of these institutions have been run uing to their full capacity, except the Manual Training High School.

It was hoped to open two additional high, schools at the beginning of the term, but the Eastern District High School will probably not be ready for exercises until November, and tho new Commercial High School, which. Is to be formed from the commercial department of tho Boys' High School in the old building of No. o. on Bedford avenue, will probably he delayed for several weeks, largely on account of the difficulty lu perfecting the organization. Two new schools were started this summer, but, on account, largely, oC the difficulty in procuring materials of construction, it will be several months before they will be ready for oecupaucy.

Those are tho school on Butler street, near Fourth avenue, and No. 0 1. In the Twenty sixth Ward. Tho Barren Tsiand School is also under construction, but as that is a frame structure it Is expected that classes will bo opened there In December. The value of the vacation schools will largely felt in tho districts in which they were opened through the better discipline that will be noticed at the beginning of the term.

The children attending these schools have been employed during half of the summer and thus prevented from forming habits that would prove detrimental to order. Their influence, in conse'juen ce. on their classmates will doubtless be beneficial. Superintendent Ward's annual report showed that the estimated school population of Brooklyn, between the ages of 5 and IS. years, is 2S 1.24 1.

The whole number of children who attended the public schools during the last school year for any part, of tho time was 173, with a total net enrollment of 372.121. The average daily attendance was 124.200, nn an average registry of 141, S01, and tho total days of attendance was There are 140, regular sittings in the 123 schools and the average number lo a class was 4 1. The number who completed the course in June was The teaching force in all de partmenis numbers It is admitted by those who are in a position to know that there will bo a large number of children who will be refused ad iniion at the start. But Superintendent Ward says that if parents will apply at least oi.ee a month he feels sore that every child will bo taken care of with as much attention as it is possible ro give. He is In favor of the formation of parr, time classes wherever possible and necessary rather than half day classes.

These have four hour sessions each, and are In ebarge of a sepamte teacher, so that a ehlld will receive almost the full rourse, as though in a regular e.loss. One of the associate superintendents will he placed In charge of this branch of the work and these classes will be organized as rapidly as possible. The increase In teachers' salaries made nec es.isry by The Abeam bill and also by the adept ion of the new schedule by the School Board will make a difference In' the general fund of over in Brooklyn. The budget for the educational department of th Greater New York has been prepared and Is ready for presentation to tho Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and the amount nsked for Is in the neighborhood of 0O0. This includes nearly SIT.

000.000 for the Fiucial fund for buildings and sites in all the hovoughs. and it Is there the most cutting will probably be done. Should, however, the full amount be allowed, Brooklyn, on the basis of the npporf lomiuuit of the $7,000,000 In corporate st oek pmvidf for th is year, would probably receive In the neighborhood nf jii.nno.noo for new schools. The apportionment "(' S2.00 or.o rec ivd out of the ST. 000.

oofi is all taken up in the new sites no v. being1 condemned und the buildings planned to oc thse sites, and wfil' should all be readv for the opening nf the school year In September. 1 ftOO HIHSH'S OPINION OF DADY. th Kditor of th" Brooklyn Eagle; I havt neve met Mr. Dady and know noth lug about him; but if Mr.
