Decorated with the national and Cuban flags, combined with festoons of red, white and blue, the Sunday school room of the Spanish American mission, corner of Jay and JohnBon streets, presented a gay appearance last evening, the occasion being the opening of the fair in aid of the soldiers wounded in the Cuban revolution. The fair was held under the auspices of the Daughters of Liberty, one of the church societies. Numerous Chinese lanterns added to the brilliancy of the scene, and the tastefully arranged tables were well patronized by the host of visitors, many of whom were from New York.

Dainty brie a brae and artistic novelties were displayed in variety as well as a large supply of more useful articles. Draped with the Cuban flag the pictures of Marti, the insurgent leader, were everywhere in evidence, and one table was entirely devoted to an exhibition of painted plaques, on which appeared Marti's portrait, surrounded by the Cuban standard.

"The Span of Life," an English melodrama, by Sutton Vane, that was presented last evening at the Empire theater by William CaJder's company, is not unknown to Brooklyn audiences. It has the merit of holding the attention of the listener every moment, while it has the faults of its kind in begging for small effort of discrimination as to reasonableness of plot or conduct of the actors according to the canons of ordinary human life. A dreadful villain, Dunstan Leech, through fimr acts seeks for the love of gold to ruin the lives and fortunes of Richard Blunt and man Bouck, who presided, opened the session with a review of the work accomplished last year, which was published in last Sunday's Eagle, and went Into detail over the financial The regular meeting of the bridge trustees, which was held yesterday afternoon in President Howell's office, attracted very few of the members, only Messrs.

J. Seaver Page, Seth L. Keeney and Clarence A. Hearlques being present, beside President Howell, who called the session to order. The roll call by Secretary Beam declared no quorum present, so only formal business was transacted.

The trustees after a short consultation of the executive committee, accepted and passed the following resolution offered by Mr. Page in connection with the proposed introduction last evening. The president, Frederick B. Bailey, opened the meeting with an address. He said that all Democrats may well extend congratulations to each other at the present time.

In one year, he said, there has been a great change in the political horizon. Then all seemed dark and gloomy. Dissatisfaction and doubt appeared to have settled upon every Democratic camp. Bad business conditions at large, the uncertainty of the results of the new tariff, a natural reaction from the great Democratic tidal wave of 1S92, together with bitter internal strife all combined to mar Democratic prospects and to check Democratic effort. Already the beneficent effects of Democratic legislation are becoming apparent.

The wise and courageous financial policy of President Cleveland has restored American credit abroad and has done much to insure stability at home. John M. Wellbroch acted as secretary. Robert Stewart spoke at some length upon his views of the situation. Mr.

Abbott also spoke. Stephen M. Coyle, chairman of the executive committee, read a report, showing the election of seventeen new members, and presented resolutions, which were adopted. The resolutions urge upon the committees appointed or to be appointed to conrer In relation to the proposed union with the Shepard Democracy, the great importance of presenting one set of Democratic candidates to the people to the end that Democratic strength shall not be wasted, and an undeserving but united opponent secure a victory to which no reasonable title can be shown; also, that, while the Young After the reading of the minutes Mr. Peabody arose and said: "This party has now reached a stage where it is entitled to consid eration.

He also recommended that the second session be both because it will ef "A Fatted Calf." a new piece by William Gill, which was played at the Amphion last week and transferred to the Park last night. Is described in the bill as "'a domestic musical comedy in three acts." It is not domestic and farce is a more accurate description of Its contents than comedy, but it is funny it has now been brought Into shape where the performance Is rapid and effective, and with a little more pruning and the rewriting of a speech here and there which is hoary with service in forty melodramas, it will prove effective for the competent company of fun makers in whose hands it is.

ljast night's audience laughed heartily and the central idea and the complications of the first two acts are amusing enough to evoke similar hilarity for the season. The piece has much more plot and coherence than the kind of hodge podge called farce comedy which it otherwise resembles. This plot concerns a Sullivan county farmer who sends his three sons out into the world to win their fortune and bids them return in two years, with the promise that to him who has made the most money shall be added the hand and fortune of their pretty cousin, Maple Lester. That is as old as English melodrama, but the working out is pure Yankee and has no trace of the sluggish British humor. Two years is a long time for young folks.

In the 'stipulated interval the boys acquire the beginning at'least of fortune and each marries a charming girl. Maple also marries an artist. The boys return in various ingenious disguises of poverty, each hoping that Maple will be assigned to a more successful brother: their wives come to the farm as summer boarders and the babies of the four families are stored in a nearby baby farm conducted by the comic Irish woman whom Annie Ward Tiffany lias played so long and well under various names "before she Joined the present company.

That the question of electrical motive power for the propulsion and switching of the trains on the bridge be referred to the chief engineer with Instructions to report as soon as possible ajld to obtain from the different corporations plans and specifications looking thereto. This resolution, adopted without any discussion or the dissent of any of the trustees present, will have most important results if present plans do not fail. The substitution of electrical power for steam will mark the highest point in development of the great structure. Apart from all questions of economy, the general public will welcome the change on account of the freedom from cinders and dust.

By the resolution Mr. Martin has ample powers given him to make a thorough search for what he needs and a chance to exercise his own Ingenuity in finding out a perfect system for use on the bridge. Mr. Henriques introduced the following resolution which was passed unanimously. Resolved, That the board tender to lta chief engineer, C.

Martin, and his valued associates, changes accomplished at the new terminal station an engineering feat of great difficulty and magnitude. It was further resolved that the board tender its thanks to the police force and foreman and employes in recognition of their faithful and efficient service on that occasion, extending over a period of nearly twenty hours of continuous work. The board received proposals for the electric lighting of the new bridge terminals, but it hot being.a full meeting did not make them resentative citizens who, although Democrats, of the whole system.

We ought to be in a position so that we shall be able to act together and be able to support one ticket for these offices. The other organization, in view of the danger to cope with, should be, and are, no doubt, very glad of this earnest and active and experienced body of politicians, who mean to stand back of any man in any office who means to stand by his office for principle and against any politician who shall violate these principles.

I fully believe that it is a cause of real rejoicing among the Democrats of the other organization that the men who are to lead must be men who are to stand clearly before the public and who can be trusted for the future. It is not that we want the offices for ourselves, although It would not be strange if we found the right man that we should desire an office for him, but it is that there is no real fruit except by bringing forth known and experienced lawyer, possessed of stability and firmness, and who will have the FOR MACHINE DEMOCRATS ORGANIZE well fitted for their parts. Next week, "A Green Goods Man." HYDE BEHMAN'S. At Hyde Behman's theater Weber and Fields Vaudeville club provides a good bill this week. The Fansons are original in a knockabout and musical sketch, called "Fun In a Schoolroom." The Burt sisters in fetching costumes sing sprightly and modern songs, including one about swell Broadway girls and one of them dances vigorous! and not ungracefully.

Their voices are pleasing and they keep the key. Will H. Fox, with his comicalities in connection with piano playing, indulges the people in the audience who applaud, until the rest begin to wish the act was only half as long. It Is amusing none the less. There is a considerably funny bit of singing, dancing and knockabout work by Dan McAvoy and Jessie May, which Includes an excellent song by the latter, with an imitation of a Swedish peasant, and dancing with wooden shoes.

KNOWLES' REPLY TO A CHARGE OF PLAGIARISM. An order from Judge Beekman was served upon Edwin Knowles at the American theater. New York, last night, by Frank Gaylor, son of the late Charles Gaylor, playwright, to show cause why an injunction, pending trial, of an action brought by Mrs. Grace Gaylor, should not be granted restraining Messrs. Palmer, Knowles, French, Al friend and Wheeler from producing "The Great Diamond Robbery." The action is for $25,000 damages and Mrs.

Gaylor maintains that the play now it was of the first importance tnat tne primary education should be allowed to go on without hindrance. He was in favor of tho evening high schools, but thought they were entitled to consideration only after the primary schools should be provided for. The situation having been so fully stated and the necessity for radical action having been demonstrated nothing remained but to determine upon the remedy. Upon the motion of Mr. Robertson Mr.

Bouck put the question of abolishing schools Nos. 28, 40, 67, 76 and 84 and establishing a new school in day school No. 73. Just as the vote was to be taken Mr. Thompson amended the motion, so that the high schools should be Included with the five primaries that were named for decapitation.

The amendment was adopted and the original motion without delay, th vote being unanimous. 'l of the members of the committee, except one, were present. The absentee was Mr. Drummond. Those who answered to thelp names upon roll call were Chairman Bouck, Messrs.

Robertson, Thompson, Straub, Har rigan. Hamlin, Lynch, Schaedle and Mrs. Pettengill, Mrs. Powell and Miss Perry. The secretary was instructed to notify the various principals of the evening schools of the committee's action.

The committee also decided that the remaining ten schools, which are to continue, shall open on October 15 for a nine weeks' session. The bylaws were, upon Mr. Bouck's suggestion, amended making them obligatory Instead of mandatory as now, in order that its orders might ba carried out without confusion. There are to be only three sessions a week instead of the five held nitherto. AH the changes are for the sake of economy, as the appropriation makes necessary the saving of every possible penny.

Only a fraction over $13,000 is available for the night schools' use until next January, as the $20,000 in this year's budget Is not to be touched until after January 1, 1896. interests. lyn 4.277.2S 44.5S6.0i 48,863.30 President Maxfleld took chair and on "So I congratulate you heartily for the great wen, except that she is In danger of acquiring a tremolo If she is not careful.

The bill for this week is provided by most of the entertainers who were at Hyde Behman's theater last week. It is an attractive one, and pleased large audiences at the two performances yesterday. John Wild is as Inimitable as ever in his quaint negro characterizations, and receives valuable aid from Frank Wills, an erstwhile farce comedy star. George E. Austin does a clever comedy wire act, Forbes and Quinn execute some exceptionally fine dancing steps and play on the harmonica skillfully, N'ellle Seymour sings several songs, Kaye and Henry introduce their well worn, but still attractive sketch: Lillie Western plays on a variety of musical instruments, the Lucifers give an exhibition of high kicking and Jumping.

Wheeler, who afterwaTd disposed of his interests to the old playwright. In a morning paper Mr. Gaylor is reported as saying that his father first called the play "Under the Ring," and that It was originally produced In Yonkers in 1887. Mr. Wheeler, It is alleged, did not write one syllable of it, although his father allowed his mother to think that he did and paid Mr.

Wheeler a weekly royalty for some time, finally buying his interest for a considerable sum. The drama was produced in New York, Philadelphia, and in the South and West, and has had several titles, the final one being "Lights and Shadows."

While no change has been made in the decorations of the house the removal of four rows of chairs from the orchestra makes it possible for a long legged man to sit out a play at the Park without barking nis knees. The orchestra, organized under M. Z. Hanau, has no cornet and the qualitv of the music is much softer in consequence.

Now if the drums could be banished also the effect would be about as good as in the Gar rick, which has the best theater orchestra in 2ew Tork a "ring band of thirteen pieces. Next week Thomas Keene will come to the Park and play his repertory of classical tragedy. THE AMPHION'. Charles Dickson in a new play was the attraction at the Amphion last evening, and the general opinion was that "Other People's Money'" would be a success. There is plenty of action, frequent excuse for laughter, anil although some of the situations are overdrawn the play is quite good on the whole.

On the bills "Other People's Money" is described as a oomedy by Edward Owing Tovvne. bu: i' is really a farce. The story concerns a Chicago board of trado operator, Hutchin son Hopper (Mr. Dickson), who plots with his clerk to run a with bis own daughter under the supposition that she is the daughter of another rich man and that he Is to get 5 per cent, of the wry for planning the elopement. Mr.

Dickson was excellent as the frisky board of trade man, although it must be admitted that the big Chicago institution has very few members of the Hutchinson Hopper style. In his make up and mannerisms Mr. Dickson reminded one very strongly of William H. Crane, and he practiced the Crane laugh with success.

Now, if the Eagle knows anything about these Inside workings thut are dishonorable or improper. It could do the public a great service by exposing the same. If It does not know, and I don't believe It does.

It is doing the life insurance companies a great Injustice by Insinuations. I am one of those who believe that life Insurance, as now practiced, is one of the most precious blessings of Christian civilisation. Knowing your fairness on all questions, as I am a steady reader.

I wish to call the attention of the commissioner to the condition of Patchen avenue, where the sewer is being laid. There isn't a lAiwer pipe on the block from Monroe street to Madison avenue that is not broken, and in two houses the pipe has been completely taken away. Now. of course I know it isn't tho fault of the poor men who are compelled to stand down In the cave, forty feet deep, and work, but is there no remedy. The loss to property is bad enough.

The condition cf the street for the last two months has been terrible, but we are in dread of the sickness which must surely follow if the gas and sewer pipes are left In this condition much longer. a RESIDENT.
