Washington, D. November 2 The declaration of Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller, who returned yesterday frcm a fishing trip with President Cleveland, in favor of a direct tax Instead of an indirect one, is re should be on one level, otherwise It would be very dangerous, and the level of all the tracks is determined by the level of the tracks at the point where the cars first enter the terminal. Accordingly the new terminal was built farther out over the promenade, which slopes at a very acute angle as it nears the terminus, and the tracks are that much higher from the street. When the new York terminal will be finished is a subject upon which even the bridge engineers and officials are alike at a loss.

The officials say some time next spring, but the engineers say it will prdbably be nearer the hot weather. The addition to the Brooklyn terminal will, however, be completed by December, and before the first of the year the public will have full possession of it. sidering the nature of the talent, both music garded here as very significant, in view of his close personal intimacy with the President. The fact of the matter is that both the President and Secretary Carlisle, as well aa other treasury officials, have practically set While the people who dally use the bridge have grumbled at the discomforts which have attended their crossing ever since the work on the Improvements was commenced, have they ever stopped to think what they would do if traffic was stopped altogether? Even If it was only the cars that stopped running and the promenade were left open to the public, the objections attending such a course would be of sufficient strength to almost cause a riot. The thousands of people who daily cross the bridge and object to being obliged to climb the extra flight of stairs that take them to the cars, do not realize the nature of the work that is going on almost beneath their feet.

They do not realize that they are daily accommodated while the work on the improvements is steadily advancing. There is an old and appropriate story of a town council, which in the early days of one of the growing and progressive "Western cities, passed a set of resolutions in reference to the building of a new jail. This aptly describes the conditions which have surruond ed the construction cf the New York terminal of the bridge. These resolutions were as tied upon a plan for raising revenue to meet the current expenditures of the government. They have been trusting all along that the custom duties and internal revenue receipts would be sufficiently large to obviate any ad ABOUT BROOKLYN SOCIETY.

of the Brooklyn police force of 1S.12. then under the command of Chief Joel Smith, is quietly passing his declining years, at the ripe age of sti. in the village of Greenport. Uncle Alvy is particularly sure of two things. One is that he is a Democrat who has voted for every Democratic candidate for the presidency since and including Andrew Jackson, with whom he shook hands on the old hero's visit to New York in 1S32.

The other Is that he and his wife, whom he married in 1833. are the oldest married couple on Long Island. He was born at East Marion, two miles from where he now lives, August 31, 1810. and in his boyhood was a shepherd about the fields and swamps on which the village of Greenport, then called Green hill, was afterward laid out. When 23 years old he married Mary Vail, the daughter of a neighboring farmer, and since then they have never been separated for a day.

'For eight, years." said Uncle Alvy to an Eagle reporter. "I served on the Brooklyn police, then called watchmen, and we wore a gray uniform. The captain was Joel Smith and he had only a small squad of men under him. 1 think I am the only survivor, though have heard that another of Brooklyn's old watchmen, a man named John Drake, Is still alive somewhere. If he should see this it mightn't be a bad idea for him and me to organize a veteran police association, for I guess we are about as veteran as they ditional taxation, but the deficiency in Sep al and literary, offered at the reception given last May, these meetings will be of unusual interest.

An entertainment is on the tapis for December that will be a novel one for Brooklyn and appeal to society's most exclusive set. The New York Comedy club, a smart organization, subscribed to and conducted like the Patriarchs or the Ihpetonga, has consented to come over and give a play for charity at the Ger mania club. The affair has originated and will be carried through by one of the heights' girls whoso name and ability are sufficient to insure its success. A long list of patronesses will be provided and the whole will be under the auspices of the Civitas club.

The engagement announced was that of her daughter. Miss Belle Powell, to Dr. Clarence Elebash of New Y'ork.

All the new and temporary platforms have been built by the bridge carpenters and, altogether, there has been daily a force of between two and three hundred men at work. This number will be increased as the work progresses and nears completion.

In regard to the Brooklyn terminal, no such difficulties were experienced in building as the old one was used until the new one was finished.

The first work done was the erection of outer tracks on both sides of tho new terminal site, for the traveling derrick, or traveler, as it is called. This is used for the purpose of lifting heavy pieces of iron in the old station out of place and putting new pieces of iron for the new building into place.

With the assistance of this traveler the work of tearing down the old terminal and erecting the new as it went along was commenced. While this was being done the bridge force went to work on the New York end of the promenade, while the public passed over an overhead temporary wooden path.

attendance, but not even in spirit, or more calities where that element was strongest, particularly in Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, New Hampshire and New York. This influence will no longer prevail and the President and the treasury officials will almost without a doubt recommend this tax. The commissioner of internal revenue is clearly of the opinion that this is the easiest and best mode of getting prompt revenue, and that so far as the political part of it is concerned, it carries no weight with that department or with the administration. It is not unlikely, therefore, that Mr. Cleveland and Mr.

Carlisle will finally come to the determination to make this recomenda.tlon; because they have Just learned from close friends of Senator Sherman and Mr. Aldrlch and other Republican members of the finance committee of the senate, that they will assist and aid in the passage of a measure of this sort, and they hope to keep it non partisan by getting the large support of both political parties in each house of congress. The geological survey recently completed its summer work in New York state, and a party that was sent out early in the spring has just returned and is now engaged in making a report, which will be submitted, to the chief of the bureau in a few days, in the course of their work they made a careful survey of over twelve hundred square miles of the upper Hudson drainage basin, lying chiefly in the Adirondack region, above Glens Falls. This work was done in co operation with the state engineer of New York, in order to furnish him with a data on which to submit a report to the legislature relative to the storing of the flood waters of the upper Hudson in great reservoirs for the purpose of supplying additional water to the state canals and mill owners, and also with a view to increasing the depth of navigable water in the Hudson during the dry months. In conjunction with this work the state engineer has been making detailed surveys of various lakes and reservoir sites, in order to make a more exact report on their capacity for storing the waters of the Hudson.

A Centerport maiden exhibits to some of her intimate friends some strange trophies of her conquests of the past season among the summer boarders. Her fad ran to canes, and as one city swain after another who had been smitten by her rustic charms was about to take his leave of the country she invariably secured his cane as a souvenir of his sojourn.

These she has decorated in a novel way, so as to identify them with the traits or characteristics of their several owners. Thus, the stick that formerly belonged to a wealthy lumber dealer she decked with ribbons of old gold. That of a rustic swain, who made some pretension to gallantry.

On these maps are indicated the outlines of the various wooded areas, and they will be of service to the forestry commission in connection with their work of preserving the Adirondack forests. The results, so far as they may "be at present estimated, show that nearly all of the water which fr.lls on the upper drainage of the Hudson may be stored in relatively inexpensive reservoirs, and that thus may be added to the water supply of that river a force which will nearly double the amount now flowing in the summer months. It will be of the greatest possible benefit to tho mill owners and water power users on the cities of the upper Hudson Glens Falls. Cohoes and Troy and will make more feasible the deepening of the Champlain canal, as it will assure a large water supply. This bureau has this year also completed the topographical and geological survey of the slate and marble belt in Eastern New York, running from Cohoes northward near Rutland, and it is believed that the results of the reports to be made by the geologists will have a material effect on the slate industry of this portion of the state.

speaking of the changes made during these two days, said: "The work done upon the bridge when the tracks were changed so that the cars could run as they are now doing was one ot the biggest feats of engineering ever done in New York, or even in the whole country in the same space of time." In building the new terminal a great saving is being made in using as much of the old material as is possible. Many of the pieces of iron used in the construction of the old terminal have been found to be in perfectly good condition and have been put on the new terminal. Nearly all the old bricks have also been used in the construction of the foundations of the promenade. There is one point in connection with tearing down the old masonry that should be of great interest to engineers and builders. This is the remarkably good condition of the mortar between the stones and its wonderful coherence.

Unfortunately, there is no hope that there will be any change, as tho tracks are now on their final level. The englnecrng force of the bridge are not to blame for this as, if they had their way, the preseut level would be reduced about three feet, by running the cars out over Center AN ALL HALLOWEEN'S DANCE.
