Nathaniel McKay Dangerously 111..

Nathaniel McKay of Brooklyn, the famous old ship builder, who has been residing In Washington for a number of years, and whose dinners and entertainments have become famous the world over, is dangerously ill at his residence in this city. Mr. McKay left Washington for Europe early in July. About a month ago he was stricken a complication of diseases in Paris and on the advice of his physician as soon as he was able to travel he returned to this country. He reached Washington about a week The Mill Cannot Grind 'with Water That's Past." This is what a fagged out, tearful tittle woman said in telling her cares and weaknesses.

Shepard's leadership in all sorts or stormy political weather find absolute Justification for cutting loose from local Republican reformers. In this district Contractor Michael J. Dady, probably the last Republican in Kings County who might be expected to make the claim, announces that he has the support of such unquestionably honest and upright men as S. V. White, James McKeen, Willis L.

Ogden and Silas 11. Gld To those who know these men to be citizens of probity and ability Contractor Dady's claim seems surprising, for here are men who have been conspicuous for their advocacy of good government and clean politics. That they should select Dady as the champion of their principles is calculated to make other friends of good government draw long breaths and open their eyes wide in astonishment. Here I think it perfectly safe to venture the prediction that Dady's claims concerning these men will be found groundless. Yet the fact will remain that Colonel Willis L.

Ogden, who figured Seth Low's right hand man in the last mayoralty election, the critic of Edward M. Shepard and his followers, is aiding Dady consciously or unconsciously to maintain his present position as the foremost Republican of Kings County, for that is the position which the chairman of the executive committee holds by virtue of his office he is the man who represents Kings County Republicanism at the secret councils of the state leaders; he is the representative Kings County Republican recognized by the administrations at Albany and at Washington. Of course if Mr. Dady is the sort of man local Republicans desire to honor, they have the right to do as they please, and In so doing will not displease Democrats. And Dady has a right to aspire to the honor; the encouragement he has received must have naturally convinced him that be is the very man Republicans desire as a representative.

Democrats who are likely to become candidates for office this fall, and Democrats who desire success at the polls, will naturally hope for Dady's success in the coming primaries. All of which must be Intensely mortifying to the thousands of high minded Republicans In this county who do not enroll in the ranks of the spoilsmen, and hold them in honest contempt. Contractor Dady's friends are saying that he played a trump card yesterday, when "his call" for a conference of enrolled Republicans in the First Assembly District was printed yesterday. The only surface indication that he had anything to do with the preparation of the call will doubtless cause a general smile. A characteristically Dady distinction is made in the arrangement of the signatures to the call.

For instance, the title "Hon." is placed before the names of S. V. White, James McKeen, Willis L. Ogden, William Hazzard and Silas M. Giddings.

All the other signatures are printed without the prefix of Honorable. But the question will naturally be asked why is Mr. Ogden any more entitled to be called "Hon." than plain Michael J. Dady? 11UL. THE ftAHiY BAQLB la publiSflea every after "worklnB days.

oe2 at Why Independent 'Democrats Feel Justified in Cutting Loose From Local Republican Reformers Michael J. Dady the Foremost Figure in the Local Party of Moral Ideas He Represents Kings County in the State, at Albany and at Washington. When Edward M. Shepard, In an.Academy of Music advocated the election of Augustus Van Wyck to the Governorship, machine Republicans were quick to declare that the speaker had "surrendered to Boss McLaughlin," and they had a great deal to say in a sneering way in criticism of his former declarations as spokesman for independent Democrats. Yet it is a fact that Mr.

Shepard had made more personal sacrifices in the Interest of good government than any combined body of his critics in this borough; that again and again he and his followers had made the success at the polls of real and professed Republican reformers possible. Nevertheless, ln the eyes of his Republican critics he committed an unpardonable sin when he ventured to commend to the support of his fellow citizens that honorable and able Democrat, Augustus Van Wyck. The moral of which is that if any Brooklyn Democrat would establish an enduring reputation as a reformer he must always vote for a Republican; and whenever independent Democrats and independent Republicans agree to combine for the public good, they must get in line behind a Republican candidate. That has been the history of reform in Brooklyn for many years; independent Republicans will work with independent Democrats, but not unless the candidate is a Republican. For several years Mr.

Shepard and his associates conducted a vigorous and effective warfare against the local regular Democratic organization; they spent their time and money freely in the prosecution of this fight, and resolutely resisted blandishment, appeal and suggestions of political advancement. When Republican reform reached a climax ln the administration of Mayor Wurster, and the official misdeeds ot his heads of departments, these independents had learned a severe lesson. Yet they rallied to the support of the "Republican, Seth Low, and stood by him to a man. They did not thoroughly understand what Republican reform really meant, until the last gubernatorial campaign opened, and they saw Seth Low, Joseph Choate, Elihu Root and other reformers, in conference with Thomas C. Piatt and Lemuel Quigg, later accepting official honors conferred by the grace of the Tioga Senator.

These are some of the reasons why independent Democrats are to day In line with the regular Democratic organi zations. And these are the reasons why the following comment concerning local Republicanism are. pertinent just now: Local Republicanism continues to strengthen independent Democrats in their belief that they might better work inside of regular Democratic lines for reform than outside of them. To illustrate: In the last two successive campaigns the voters of Kings County defeated local Republican candidates all along the line. They were defeated because the Republican machine that nominated them was in the hands of men whose associates were either under indictment for official frauds, or else had been convicted of official wrongdoing.

And to day, strange as it may seem, so called independent Republicans who voted for Seth Low and subsequently severe ly condemned Edward M. Shepard for supporting so honorable a Democrat as Augustus Van Wyck, are upholding the political management of Michael J. Dady, Robert Sharkey, Timothy L. Woodruff, Walter B. Atterbury and their lieutenants.

In the columns of this paper, and at considerable length, was presented the conclusive proof that Mr. Woodruff had, as park commissioner, employed hundreds of. men upon the parks whose services were utilized at primaries in his interest politically, also in the interest of M. J. Dady and the indicted Commissioner of City Works Theodore" B.

Willis. To the writer of this column Mr. Woodruff frankly acknowledged that he had incidentally used tfcese public servants for his benefit politically. In the columns of this paper was presented the proof that Theodore B. Willis directed that a small army of Republican ward politicians be employed by Contractor M.

J. Dady upon his pond cleaning Job. And these men voted at the primaries in support of the Woodruff, Dady, Willis political dynasty. Patrick Feeley, a wealthy resident of Brooklyn, subsequently brought a taxpayer's suit against Dady for the recovery of Mr. Feeley's contention being that Dady 'had virtually defrauded, the city in the case of the pond cleaning contract.

Strenuous efforts have since been made to secure a discontinuance of this suit; one of the lawyers for Mr. Feeley was told that he would ruin his political future if he pressed the taxpayer's suit, and efforts have been made in other directions to keep the case out of court. Should these efforts fall the case will be tried next month. T'nis is the sort of political management which Republicans are asked to indorse at the coming primaries. It was announced a year or so ago, that if Contractor Michael J.

Dady should be elected chairman of the Kings County Republican Executive Committee, he would resign that he desired the office by way of "vindication." He did not specify the acts that called for "vindication," and so the public is still at a loss to know if he desired to be vindicated because of the part that he took when his friend, the late John Y. McKane, was on trial, because of the advice and warning given to him by lawyers engaged in the prosecution of McKane, or because of his desertion to Democracy when local Republicanism was facing dereat, because of his pond cleaning or other contracts, or because of his handling of political funds in a presidential campaign in which the Republuan candidate was defeated, but out of whicii Dady loomed up as a householder, if the statement printed by a local paper be true. Dady is said to be still looking for a "vindication," and the question Is still asked, "A vindication of what?" He should specify. It would seem that there are others ln the ranks of local Republicanism who also seek vindication. Silas B.

Dutcher Is getting his friends together in the Twenty second Ward, and they are going to name a ticket. Mr. Dutcher Is president of the Ramapo Water Supply Company, and the newspapers and Controller Coler have said some sharp thinga about Uncle Silas that may have moved him to look for vindication at the hands of his neighbors. At all events, his ticket has been dubbed in advance "The Ramapo Ticket," but not until the votes are all counted will be revealed the sentiment of Twenty second Ward Republicanism concerning the Ramapo scheme. The opposition ticket will be known as "The Nobodies," by way of commemorating the remark made by Timothy L.

Woodruff to an Eagle reporter. The Eagle report of a meeting of anti Woodruff Republicans, held in Acmo Hall, said it waB a gathering of highly respectable and intelligent men. Woodruff said they were "a lot of nobodies." Most of these alleged nobodies, however, are self supporting citizens and taxpayers, who do not aspire to political office and who do not yield their asBent to the Idea in some political quarters that "society" in the Twenty sec6nd Ward is made up exclusively ot those highly To Participate in Naval Parade on the Return of Admiral Dewey. CHAGRIN FELT BY OFFICERS. If Word Comes Chief Shoemaker "Will Send Pive Cutters Under Command of Captain Hodgsdon.

i Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth street. Washington, September 9 Much surprise and some chagrin are felt on the part of officers of the United States revenue cutter service over the fact that the committees having In charge the arrangements for the New York Dewey celebration have made no plana lor the vessels of this service to participate in that event. When the important part taken by the revenue cutters in the war with Spain is recalled, this blunder by the New York committees is all the more surprising. In the printed semi official list of warsblps which are to appear in the big welcoming fleet no mention is made of revenue cutters, although there are half a dozen or more within easy reaching distance of New York. Captain Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cutter eervlce, has made up his mind that if requested by the committee on naval parade to send some ships to aid in the celebration ho will OTder a fleet of cutters to New York, under the command of Captain Hodgsdon, who fought the gallant cutter McCulloch in Manila Bay, May 1, 1S98.

Full plans had been made by the Treasury Department whereby six cutterB would be on hand, including the Windom, which reduced the lighthouse and fortifications at Cienfuegos, and the Hudson, which rescued the torpedo boat Winslow from under the batteries of Cardenas. The 'Wiu dom is now at Philadelphia, but as its regular station is Baltimore, it could have been ordered to New York without inconvenience to the service. The Manning, which rendered splendid service in Cuban waters during the war, was also slated to take part in the New York parade, as well as the Gresham and the last two new ships that have been added to the fleet, the Algonquin and Onondaga. Many of the officers who were on the McCulloch at Manila are in this part ot the country, and was the intention of Captain Shoemaker to assign them to the cutters ln case the latter were desired to form a portion of the welcoming force. Captain Hodgsdon is a personal friend of Admiral Dewey, and it is believed that the latter would be glad to see him among those first to extend home greetings.

The record made by this service ln the Spanish war is very creditable, from the moment thut, the McCulloch assisted ln the Manila Bay flgbt and later bore the memor able description of the news to Hong Kong, up to the withdrawal of the Manning, Hudson and other cutters from the Cuban blockade. Captain Shoemaker said to day that he had not heard one word from the committee whose duty it is to arrange toe naval parade. He was very anxious that the revenue cutter service be represented at the celebration, but, of course, did not feel at liberty to call the attention of the committee to the oversight It had tnade. If an invitation is extended to Captain Shoemaker to have some of his ships on hand he will supply a fleet of six or seven vessels, which will add materially to the effectiveness of the demonstration. India's Adoption of the Gold Standard.

Treasury officials are much interested ln the outcome of the determination to establish the gold standard in India. That the effect of this change will be felt more or leSB ln this country, la generally admitted, although the belief is that it will be slight and gradual. "India," said Director of the Mint Roberts to the Eagle correspondent to day, "has practically ben on the gold standard for years, although up to this time she has failed to so formally declare herself. Much trouble lias been experienced by the Indian government in maintaining tbe value of the silver rupee. This was only done by closing the mint3 at various times and limiting the issue.

Under this arrangement there was absolutely no elasticity in their currency system. The change wljl result in putting a large quantity of gold into circulation there, and it is only reasonable to suppose that some of this will nnma fl nTM rtHlof i nnnlrtnll Thn ammmt 1 IT? al to Co irora this ennntrv will he detpr mined by tho balance of trade accounts at the close of each year. In 1808 India took something like $30,000,000 ln gold from other countries as the balance due her, but the greater part of this came from Australia. Of course if there should be an extraordinary movement to invest foreign capital in India this would take lots of gold there. There is one significant thing in connection with this action on the part of India, and that is that no guarantee is made that rupees will be redeemed in gold.

This will certainly result to the disadvantage of the silverltes in this country, and will also tend to discourage outside capitalists investing gold there. I should say that the United States will be only slightly affected by the change to the gold standard, and this will probably not be felt for some time." More Pneumatic Tubes for Mail. The next few years will witness the extended use of the pneumatic tube mail system In the various large cities. The experiments in Brooklyn and Boston of transmitting mail matter by this means have been so thoroughly successful that Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger has practically decided to ask Congress for a large appropriation with which to instal the necessary tubes and machinery ln other cities. In speaking of this matter to day General Shallenberger said: "We have received reports from Brooklvn and New York and Boston from time to time as to the efficiency of the new system in those cities, and have absolutely nothing of which to complain.

It has been particularly satis i factory ln Brooklyn and New York and hsi saved much time in the transportation of mail matter between those cities. In my opinion it is only a matter of time before tbe pneumatic tube system will be installed in nearly all of the large cities. At present tbe main objection is the excessive cost, but this will be reduced as competition springs up. which will be the case as soon as tho tubes come into moro general use." More Stenographers Needed. Beginning with Tuesday of next week the Civil Service Commission will hold a series of examinations throughout the country for the purpose of securing cliglbles for positions as stenographers and typewriters.

More appointments are made in this grade than in any other class, hut the demand is so great thnt the commission is unable to supply It. The first examinations will be held in Baltimore. The commission expects to get at least ISO good tHgibles from these special tests. Residents of the District of Columbia are to be admitted for examination, the first time this has occurred since 1896. The eligible list of stenographers is not entirely exhausted at present, but many of those open to appointment refuse to nccept.

positions at the low salary attached. It is seldom that a stenographer receives more than $75 a month at the start and a good stenographer will not work for this unless nothing else offers. Thero are men now on the eligible list who havo served notice on tho commissioners that they will not take anything that pays less than S100 a month, and one ex court reporter say.r, he will accept no position paying less than S2.000 a year. The latter will wait a long time before a place of that sort is offered to him. The commissioners are urging tbe fact that promotions for good stenographers are sure and rapid ln tbe departments, and that a capable man going in on $75 a month will certainly be advanced before long to $100 a month and eventually to a month.

CHRISTIAN SCIEHCE DISCUSSED. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Have just been reading a recent editorial copied trom your paper denoun in very bitter terms the praet ice of Christian Science. Ohrtsiia.i Scientists are a' chnritabca and. long suffering people as a rule and i hey know that when a great m. wspaprr like the Eagle, which is usually so broad in its views upon political and national affairs, attacks Christian Science in such a severe and seemingly heartless manttet It must, be through lack or any thorough kao.vl" of the great and good work that Christian Science is accomplishing in Ibis and other countries.

I wish the writer of the editorial Kferred to could visit somo of thr. bulling Christian Science churches and take note of the intelligent' and happy faoes and iearn from persona! Inquiry that a large majority were brought into ibis belief through healing, nnd in very many cases often having been given tip by regular physicians. Do you suppose that men with the intelligence of Judge Haar.a of Bosion, ex Juilge Ewing of Chicago and Judge Clarkson, another Western man, would engage actively ln this work if it were all a humbug and a sham? "By their fruits yc shall know them." I am snre Christian Scientists would gladly welcome a comparison of results with the regular physicians. My wife studied Christian Science ith Mrs. Eddy and more than ten years' experience of treatment by this method in our own family gives a faith in its fundamental truths which no ridicule can shake and no persecution overthrow.

What we prove by experience is better than the theories of the public press, however learned. I am sure the lime will come when the editors ot your great, paper will see Christian Science in a different light. C. H. SHIPMAN.

D. Little. RANKIN" POST DRUM CORPS. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The outrageous conduct of Rankin Post's drum corps in Philadelphia, as reported in your news columns of yesterday has brought disgrace upon the members of that post. It is due to the reputation of Alfred T.

Wilson, as commander of the post, and to the dignity of the members thereof that an example should be made of the ringleaders in that affair, by their expulsion. If they cannot be found let the drum corps be disbanded. It is far better to hire a drum corps when occasion requires it, than to be held responsible for the conduct of a lot of young hoodlums. This is not the first time this drum corps has made a spectacle of themselves, but in Philadelphia they have shown to the utmost limit what they can do in the line of rowdyism. Let Rankin Post No.

10, G. A. show the people of Philadelphia that they do not approve of the conduct ot their drum corps, by weeding out the disgraceful element at once and for all time. G. A.
