All ihe Advantages Are on the Side of the Brooklyn System. CHANGES ARE NOT ADVISABLE. A Brooklyn Pension Is Greater Than One in Manhattan by 200 Per Annum.

Now that the bill offered in the State Senate by Senator Henry Marshall, having for its purpose the amendment of the law governing the administration of the fund for teachers' pensions in Brooklyn, has been practically withdrawn, there are more people trying to learn ail about the pension fund than ever be Sore. During the brief controversy over these proposed amendments, in which the Brooklyn Teachers' Association stood almost unanimously against any change in the law, the benefits of tho Brooklyn law wore partially brought out, and a uumber or those who were advocating the introduction of principles contained in the Manhattan law changed their minds when they became better informed. Another feature that is more interesting as it becomes better understood is the law which gives to the pension funds of the several boroughs 5 per cent, of the moneys received from excise licenses, from which source it is calculated that Brooklyn teachers this year will benefit to the extent of from $60,000 to $70,000. "What is known as the teachers' retirement law in Brooklyn is chapter 6SC of the laws of 1895, and the essential features are as follows: The Board of Education of the City of Brooklyn is hereby given the full car and management "of the public school teachers' retirement fund created by this act. The Board of Kaucatton shall have charge of unci administer said public school teachers' retirement fund as It shall deem most beneficial to said fund, and shall mula payments from said fund of allowances granted In pursuance of this act, and shall, from time to time, establish such rules and regulations for the application and administration of the said fund as it may deem best.

The public school teachers' retirement fund herein provided shall consist of the following with the income and Interest thereon: The Hoard of iCducation shall on and after January 1, reserve monthly and turn over to said fund. 1 oer centum of the salaries paid each month to the teachers who shall, prior to that date, elect to eome under the provisions of this act, and the Hoard of Education shall also reserve monthly anil turn into said fund I per centum of the salaries paid each month to all teachers appointed after January 1. lS'Jti. All moneys and property received by donation, legacy, gift, beuuest or otherwise for and on account of said fund. All such other methods of inurement as may duly and legally devised for the increase of said fund The Board of Education may retire from active service any male teacher not under of age, or any female teacher not under years of age.

in its employ who has elected to come under the provisions of this act, or who shall be appointed on and January 1, 1'Jli, and who has taught not less than thirty years, of which twenty Immediately preceding the proposed retirement hali have been in the public schools of Brooklyn. Each and every teacher retired under the foregoing clause shall receive during life an allowance annually equal to one half of the annual salary received by said teacher at the time of said retirement, to be paid In quarterly installments: but no teacher so retired shall receive more than 21.U0O in any one year: provided, however, that no teacher shall be retired until he or she have paid into the retirement fund an amount equal to 20 per centum of his or her annual salary at the time of retirement. Whenever the amount in the retirement fund herein provided shall not be sufti clent in any year to pay in full the allowances heretrjbefore specified, i uyment shall be in due proportion to the amount in the retirement fund applicable to that purpose. The teachers in the employ of Uie Board of. Education prior to' January 1, 1S9G, who did not elect to "become participants in tho retirement fund, as provided in the act, and who wish now to become participants, must resiga their positions in the schools and be appointed again before they can come into I a share of its benefits.

A number of teachers, at first declining to become participants, have since taken this course. There are about GOO, however, who have not elected to become participants as yet. It will be by this that the teachers' ension fund in this borough is entirely tin ever tSe direction of the School Board of Brooklyn, and there is nothing in the chartor of the Greater York which abridges the rower tn local authorities it; administering it. The committer! of the. board is known as the retirement of teachers committee.

It is composed of Messrs. Williams, Clark. Schmidt, Powell and and. with the control of the duration of nnso'l nn tile payroll of January the income from sala ries will be about for ISM, liie teach I ers being paid in trm monthly installments.

The play is among the newest of the Boston monologist's presentations, and will doubtless take Us place in his repertoire beside "Lord Chumley," "David Garrick," and "The Rivals." On the evening ot llarch IS, Mrs.

Harriet Otis Dellenbaugh will read Shakspearc'a "As You Like It," and on April 1, Hopkinson Smith will read from his own works selections which are yet to be announced. Miss AV'est will come on April S. The theme of tho evening given by this young woman is "Robert Browning, the Lover." In the first part, the poet's conception of love will be developed through the reading of "Apparitions," "A Woman's Last Word," "Love Among the Ruins," and "The Laboratory Ancient Regime." The entertainment will conclude with a picture gt the ideal union of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning as illustrated by the following poems: "By the Fireside," "In a Balcony," and "The Last Ride Together." Browning's optimism, his unvarying faith in the highest and his belief that love is the greatest thing in the world, are among the points brought out by the speaker In her readings and explanations. The fourth reading la the course will be present annuitants will oe about $20,000. The last report of the committo? showed a bal I ance to the credit of tho fund of $23,170.21.

He attached the loose end to one of tho iron climbing spikes and let himself down." Releasing his hold on the pole He dangled in the air, suspended by the waist. A policeman from the Cottage Grove avenue station rushed across the street and cut the man down.

"What, diil you do that for?" he demanded of the long haired individual. "I wanted to commit suicide," was the calm reply. "if you wsmted to commit suicide why didn't you tie the rope around your neck instead of about your waist?" "Why, I couldn't breathe that way," answered the eoatlcss man, as though astounded at the policeman's ignorance.
