34i Fulti.r. KRKTT a 'auy. ST, ner Bi rum l'lnco. business air. I am of the opinion that by removing sorpe of the trolley cars the situation would' be bettered.

This section will always be the shopping, center: of i there is no doubt. We must now look to the future, and in dolus so I cjnnoi spc how' we can got along without widening some street contiguous to Fulton street. Another thing in favor of widening of Livingston, street is the cost of the improvement. would favor widening the street from forty to fifty feet on the scnth eifie. That would not cost more than and a halt of dollars, and what is left of the lots on the oouth aide would, be worth 3S much more than the present value as it would cost to make the improvement.

George W. Conklin of John M. Conklin son ti mey wouiu widen Livingston street for fifty feet I think thty could do nothing better. I am under the impression that if the hurt business here on Fulton street. The re trolley service was shortened on Fulton street i tall market of Brooklyn, for dry goods and and more cars were operated on the elevated I ueh things, has been established.

No finer roads it would only be a question of a short stores are to be seen In the world around than time when the elevated roads would be as bad those that now line our great thoroughfare. off as the trolley cars are at present. I think It would he a good idea to widen Livineston street. The general public would be benefited by it, I am sure. At the present time v.e dry goods men simply monopolize the street with our wagons.

The plan seems to me to be the most feasible yet presented. A. A. Webster The proposition in reference to the railroads would undoubtedly solve the problem, but it would be injurious to our trade. Now, I am here every day, nearly all day, and I want to say that there is not half the congestion on Fulton street that the peo 0 c3 xw a I Manhattan ace improved.

Just as soon as the people get over and see how comfortable a place Brooklyn is to live In they want to "stay here, and they get used to the place" and see how really great our retail establishments are they buy here. This is the place for the man of moderate means to live. It bridges we have the better. We do not fear Manhattan rivalry. We can meet the stores Qver there beat them on retail business.

William Herri said: "I am In favor of all proposition. to relieve traffic on Fulton street, including the Flatbush avenue extension, the Livingston street widening scheme and the elevated railroad express service. I do not believe increased facilities to New York, however they are brought about, are going to reduce our business here or hurt Fulton street. We can sell better and cheaper goods, or bet ter goods at cheaper prices, In Brooklyn to day than they can or do in Manhattan Our. here have as.

fine stocks as any in the world. They are improving every day and our business managers sre on a par with the best, in the country 'for that reason I believe the morevpeople are encouraged to come over here, ar.d live better we will do. There are those who will go to Manhattan occasionally to shop, just for a change, as men will over there occasionally for amuse only one that might possibly be injured by tne Flatbush avenue extension and tne express' service. Forthat matter. I do not believe that even the amusements really will be affected to any great extent, but if any business is touched that would he the business, for people like a change.

Yes, 1 believe all schemes to broaden up and make more comfortable the down town districts would be to the good of the whole city or borough." Mr. Morton, the. proprietor of the Scotch bakery on Fulton street I have always been opposed to the Livingston avenue idea because I do not believe it would be feasible or judicious. I am in favor of the Flatbush avenue extension idea for relieving Fulton street. That is the sensible idea.

It will not N'ot only are the goods of fine quality and the stocks of greatest variety and prices cheap, but the accommodations that women look for nowadays in the big department stores are greater in Brooklyn than in Manhattan. Ask women shop pers how the accommodations for their comfort in the stores here compare with those in Manhattan and hear what they isay. Flatbush avenue extended would take the people who insisted upon going to Manhattan, or who had to go there on business any way. Then the side streets would eventually become great busi ness centers, like those of Manhattan and property would be enhanced in value all inrougn tnts section, nave counted tne vehicles and wagons that have no right on thl3 thoroughfare and in one hour live hundred passed this door. I mean such things as heavy trucks, express wagons, etc.

They have no right on this thoroughfare and yet it is now the direct route to Manhattan.

GRAIN 0 BRINGS RELIEF to tlie cuffi drlnkur. Urinkiiii; 11 liabll III I Police of the Fulton Street Station Investigating a Case With Unusual Features. WAS CHILD. SENT TO TORONTO. Moore Gave the Local Police an Address Which Not ExistA Mysterious Bundle.

Samuel and Emma Moore suddenly abandoned their home at 23 Main street early year terday morning after the police of the Fulton street station had been asking them pointed, questions about the strange disappearance of. their girl baby. Moore is about 26 years old and said that he was a native of Toronto, Canada. He had been engaged in this country In the junk.business and made a specialty of buying odds ends from poor people in Brownsville and selling ihem over again to manufacturers who find use for the com modifies he thus acquired. Moore's wife, a dark haired, rather pretty young woman, lived with him ia apartments on the top floor, rear, of the four story tenement house at 23 Main street.

The owner of the building is Terence Farrell, a gossipy man who has no particular occupation and who lives with his daughter in apartments which he also owns, at 21 Main street. The building at 23, although it had eight suites of rooms, had very few tenants. In fact, for months the only occupants had been Moore's brother, also from Canada, who lived in the front suite on the top and the Moores, now sought by the police, who occupied the rear rooms. On January 24 last Mrs. Samuel Moore gave birth to a girl baby.

The child was weakly and gave the young and inexperienced mother a great deal of trouble. She consulted Mrs. Nicolal. the wile of a missionary, who then had a mission on lower Fulton street, about it, and she said to the police that Mrs. Nicolai, who is also a physician, had adviser! her to send the child to Canada.

TliUs is the story the woman told after the police began asking her pointed questions about its disappearance. The people in the neighborhood had been wondering about the baby. First, it is alleged, they did not think that the young mother displayed much experience in handling the child, for Mr. Farrell and Mr. Farrell's' daughter had seen her carrying the infant downstairs tucked under her arm, "as you would carry a kitten or a said Mr.

Farrell. The baby suddenly disappeared. Moore's brother had moved back to Canada and the front rooms on the top floor were vacant. There were no other tenants in the house for a. while and then Mr.

Carlson, the janitor, moved into the front rooms on the top floor. But he saw no baby and did not know there was a baby in the house. One day, about the end of March, the mother was seen to carry a bundle downstairs and to go into an outhouse in the rear of the building. Farrell and the other neighbors had been wondering about the child's strange disappearance and the result was that after all the talk Mr. Farrell told about the matter when he met his friend, Policeman Jonas Grant of the sanitary squad.

He reported to police headquarters and Deputy Chief Mac kellar told Captain Druhan of the Fulton street station to make an investigation. Detective Sergeant Rail and Detective Officer Brennan were sent to see Mrs. Moore and question her about it. She met them and told them a long story. She said that the baby had been sent on March 22 to her husband's brother, in Toronto.

Brennan asked the address of the brother, and she said that she could not tell, but that her husband knew. The detectives later saw Mrs. Moore with her husband. The man said that the child had been sent to the houee of his brother, at 13 East Housiek street, Toronto. This was reported to headquarters and Deputy Chief MeKellar communicated with the Toronto authorities, who replied that there was no such street in Toronto.

Late yesterday afternoon Detective Officer Brennan went down to the house with this information and learned there that the Moores had suddenly disappeared. Janitor Carlson's wife said that she had heard them at 5 o'clock yesterday morning tiptoeing along the hall. She peeped out and saw that they were both dressed. Later in the day the janitor found that the doors had been locked and that the hall lamp was still burning. Everything indicated that the Moores had left in a hurry.

It was learned to day that the furniture in their rooms had been purchased on time and that the Moores before going away had writ 'ten to the dealer saying that they would not return and that he could get his furniture by applying to the landlord. A letter similar in purport had been sent to Mr. Farrell. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Detective Offiqer Brenna went to the house with the intention of entering the rooms and making an examination, but the landlord could not be found and it was understood that at 4 o'clock to day the investigation would be made. It is also said that a searching ex amination would he made of the outhouse in the rear yard.

FIBE DAMAGES BOSTON" THEATER. Celebrated Paintings in the Museum. Were Saved, With One Exception. Boston, April 13 The Boston Museum on Tremont street, the oldest play house in this city, was badly damaged by fire at 5 o'clock this morning. The blaze started on the Tremont street side and is thought to have been caused by a careless smoker.

The loss to the museum is estimated at about C00, while several Arms who occupied stores on the street floor and beneath the auditorium sustained damage by water. The property of, "The Christian," which was being played at the theater, was not seriously injured. The flames had secured a firm hold when the firemen arrived and had assumed such a threatening nature that three alarms were rung in. The fire was subdued, however, before it had spread beyond the museum. The most serious loss is that of the contents of the hall, although paintings for which the museum has been celebrated were saved with the exception of a large portrait of George Washington, and that, it is thought, can be successfully retouched.

WILLING TO CONFER. Harrisburg. April 13 A meeting of anti Quay Republicans was held to day, at which it was decided to send the following communication to Senator John C. Grady, chairman of the Republican caucus that nominated Senator Quay: "Hon. John C.

Brady, Chairman: "Dear sir Those Republican members of the Legislature who are now opposing the election of M. S. Quay to the United States Senate' hereby suggest that a committee conference be named on the part of those voting for Mr. Quay to confer with a like committee the part of those opposing him, with a view of adjusting factional differences and the election of a senator. "An early reply will oblige.

I am your truly. WM. FLYNN, Chairman." Senator Grady, when spoken to about the letter, said: "I might eay off hand that I know no basis on which we can get together except the acquiescence of the minority in the decision of the Many dealers will recommend inferior preparations ana lower priced articles. Ask for and oDtHin only I BROWN'S Tho Genuine has the Facsimile Signature of Boston IBHIIIIljj Subpena Server's Presence Puzzles Local Democratic Statesmen. MAY PROBE WATER SCANDAL Suggestions That the Investigation May Soon Touch Local Affairs Preparing to Examine Croker.

Ono of Chairman Mazet's subpena servers was in Brooklyn this morning, looking for former Fire Commissioner John Bnnis, whom he said the Assembly committee wanted to examine at its next sitting. The man visited the Willoughby street auction room and several other places where he thought Mr. Ennis might be, hut failed to find him. As a matter of fact, Mr. Ennis seldom visits the auction room now.

Time was when he could be found there at least once every day, but since he lost the control of his Assembly district his' interests and those of the leaders do not sl'em to be so close. Just why the Assembly committee wants to examine Ennis is a puzzler to the local leaders He has held no place under the present administration and so far as could be learned this morning has not been Interested in any city contract, at least not In any one of importance. Several of Mr. Ennis' relatives hold places here. James Ennis, a brother, is a captain of police.

The ex fire commissioner is a shoe manufacturer with a large establishment in the Eastern District. The Long Island Water Supply Company and tho failure of the Municipal Assembly to approve of an issue of bonds to pay the judgment for its acquisition is put down in the gossips of the afternoon as one of the topics for discussion at to morrow's session. It was hinted that Judge William J. Gaynor would be asked to tell the committee of the history of the concern and the city's attempt to ac quire it and of the obstacles that were con tinually placed in the way. When an Eagle reporter asked Mr.

Moss this afternoon to confirm any or all of these statements he replied: "I refuse to tell the names of any of the witnesses for to morrow, apart from Mr. Croker. I made that a rule at the beginning and I will adhere to it. Neither will I indicate in any way the subject matter to be investigated. The public must wait until it is developed in the regular way." Mr.

Laimbeer, whom the reporter also saw, was equally uncommunicative, and referred his visitors to Mr. Moss. There was a deal said about the Police Department this morn ing In the rooms of the investigating committee. Frank Moss, counsel to the Mazet committee, had a conference this morning with his assistant, ex Assemblyman Francis E. Laimbeer, in room 316 of the Bennett Building, Manhattan.

They went over the line of examination they will pursue with Richard Croker, who will be the star witness at tomorrow's session. From some unreliable source a rumor got abroad to day to the effect that the committee and Mr. Moss had been called off. When a reporter for the Eagle saw the latter this afternoon he eaid: "I want you to correct the rumor that is afloat to the effect that the committee has been called off. Neither the committee nor myself has been interfered with in any way.

I am going along on the lines I originally laid down for this investigation." There was much speculation in political circles to day as to what would be the line of Mr. Croker's examination. Some, who claim to be well Informed, eay that he will be asked to explain his connection with the Health Department's action on the structure of the Manhattan Elevated Road and that it Is more than likely that George Gould will be put on the stand to state the other side of the case. It is added that Mr. Croker, in connection with the Democratic Police Commissioners, will be asked to tell how Captain Devery came to be made Chief of the Police Department.

Mr. Croker's associates in the Tammany machine believe that Moss will accomplish nothing by calling their leader as a witness. They say he is not a public official of any kind and, furthermore, will never admit any undue interference in any of the departments of the city government. FORMER JUSTICE MISSING. Emil Schiellein Disappeared Eroin.

Home on March 25. Emil Schiellein, ex justice, and a prominent resident of East New York, has been missing from his home since March 25. He is the proprietor of Schiellein's Hotel at Atlantic avenue and Vermont street, and is reported to be wealthy. He was last seen, it is said, at. the ball of the employes of Schiellein's Hall on the night of March 25.

Though he has been missing over three weeks his immediate relatives do not express any fear for his safety. Miss Louisa Schiellein, the man's sister, admitted this afternoon that he was missing, but showed no anxiety. Mrs. Schiellein thinks that he is being har bored by his relatives who want to separate them. A few weeks before his disappearance there was a scene in the hotel and the police were called in.

LOST, A JURYMAN. John Kimherley, on Duty in the Supreme Court, Disappears Suddenly and Effectively. There is a lost juror somewhere In Greater New York. At least it is presumed that he is still here for he has scarcely had time to wander anywhere else. The man, who thus interrupted a case in Part II of the Supreme Court, is John Kimberly, a barber.

Until last evening he resided at 117A Norman avenue. Then he went out to walk and now no one knows where he is. Kimber ly bad ben ergularly accepted as a juror in the case of Margaret French vs. Horace Graves and A. C.

Fisher, which has been in progress since Tuesday afternoon, before tice Garrettson. It is a suit on a bond given I for money loaned by Thomas H. French to Graves, with Fisher as surety, Kimberly, the barber juryman, did not oc I cupy his ti3ual seat in the box this morning i and no word was received from him, until I the arrival of his mother. She said her sou had left the house last night alone and had smarted on a brief ramble through the near by streetB. He did not return and this morning there was no trace of him.

Mrs. Kimberly said the missing man did not drink and had no bad habits. The cause of his disappearance is a mystery. The case in court was adjourned until to morrow. Mayor Van Wyck to day received from General Isaac S.

Catlin of Brooklyn a unique reminder of the Spanish war and the Maine wrecked in Havana harbor last year. It came in the form of a silver paper cutter shaped like a Cuban machete. The handle is of yellow pine that formed a part ol the Maine's deck. Travis and Pratt the First Pair Away, the Oakland Golfer Gaining the Advantage. ATTENDANCE MUCH IMPROVED.

Douglass and Tailer Play a Spirited Match, the Champion Winning by 2 Up. (Special to the Eagle.) Garden City, L. April 13 The dashing style of play which marked the efforts of the golfers in the qualifying round yesterday at medal play is continued to day in match, play. Tat first round for the championship occupied the attention of the golfers this morning, while the second round, which Is also at eighteen holes, will be played this afternoon. The links are in excellent condition and the enthusiastic manner In which the first annual championship of the Metropolitan Golf Association is being conducted is an indication that not only will it become a permanent fixture, but a very popular event as well.

The attendance is much better than yesterday. The sport to day began with the playing off of the tie for sixteenth place, between James B. Tailer, Ardsley, and William Hicks, Nassau Country Club. Hicks had the honor and drove almost to the edge of the green, while Tailer only cleared the bunker, but got on the green with a fine cleek shot and finally won the hole and the tie by 6 to 5. The first pair to get away in the first round of match play were Walter J.

Travis, Oakland, and Herbert L. Pratt, Nassau Country. The start was made against a strong head wind and the journey to the first green was difficult, Pratt winning the hole by 5 to 6. The second hole was halved in three, Pratt holing out on a fifteen foot put. Travis won the third hole by 6 to 7, which made honors even.

The long fourth hole, 465 yards, was the first of the match played with the wind. They both did good work and Travis won by 5 to 6. The fifth hole was also won by Travis in 5 to 6, which gave to him a lead of 2 up on the match. Travis continued his advantage on the sixth hole, which he won by 4 to 5. This increased his lead to 3 up.

Playing with the wind again on the next two holes Pratt was the more fortunate and he won both holes, the seventh in 4 to 5 and the eighth in 5 to 6. By winning the ninth, however, in 5 to 6, Travis was 2 up at the ninth hole. The tenth hole was most admirably played. It is 337 yards long and was won by Travis by 4 to 5. The eleventh hole, 393 yardB, was also a good one, being halved in six, and the twelfth, a short hole of 184 yards, was halved in 5.

The thirteenth hole, which is the longest on the course, 506 yards, was prettily played, and was halved in six. The fourteenth hole, 318 yards, was halved in five, and the match terminated at the fifteenth hole, which is 376 yards long. The wind was blowing a perfect gale from the West and the play was directly in the face of the wind. Travis played "foxy" and drove to the lert of the bunker into the line of play of the Douglas Tailer match, while Pratt tried to get around to the right, but got into the bunker, which cost him the hole. Travis won the match by 4 up and 3 to play.

The score follows: Walter J. Travis, Oakland: Out 63655466 5 lii In 4 5 6 5 31 76 Herbert L. Tratt. Nassau Country Club: Out 5 3 7 6 6 5 4 647 In 5 5 6 6 33 SO In the match between Douglas and Tailer, the amateur champion had the honor. Both drove well from the tee and reached the green in 2.

It took each 3 more to hole out, however, and they halved in 5. At the second Douglas over drove the green to the bunker at the back, but played his second shot to within 6 feet of the hole. His opponent was "dead" in two and Douglas holding out in three, another even score was recorded. At the third Tailer pulled his driver into the rough grass, but made a splendid recovery by reaching the green on his second. Douglas after getting off a good drive made a mess of his second.which landed in the rough grass to the right.

His third was short while Taller's was apparently "dead." The latter missed his chance, however, and the hole was completed with another half Id 5. Playing the fourth hole Tailer drove off the line to the right, but made a splendid recovery with his cleek arid followed this up by a miserable third, which went about fifteen yards. His fourth was also wide of the mark. In the meantime Douglas selaffed his second and repeated the performance on his third, while his fourth was short. Both were dead in 5 and halved the hole in 6.

Playing the fifth, both drove well and reached the green in two. Bad putting from each man, especially from Tailer, who wae within a foot of the hole and had Douglas playing two more before the latter holea out. Tailer again failed and the pair halved In five. Playing the sixth, Douglas pulled his drive near the fence and had to take a nibblick for his second, while his third was well on the green, but short of the cup. Taller, who had driven a grand ball, topped his second badly, but laid his third within six feet of the hole.

Neither man holed out in four and the hole was halved in five. The first win was made by Douglas on the seventh hole, but Tailer evened matters up on the eighth hole by taking it in 5 to 6. Douglas, however, won the ninth hole in a 4 to 7. The hole is 276 yards and Douglas played par golf, reaching the green on his second shot and getting down in two more. This gave him the lead ly 1 up at the turn, but he did not keep it long, as Tailer won the tenth hole, 337 yards, in 5 to 7, a brilliant piece of work, as he played against a strong head wind.

Douglas made a spurt on the eleventh and twelfth holes, winning both and swinging off with a lead of 2 up. The long thirteenth hole was halved in six. Then Tailer won the fourteenth hole, 318 yards in the par golf of 3, Douglas, who also played great golf, getting down in 4. The fifteenth was halved in five and the sixteenth was won by Douglas, which made him dormy two. The play for the seventeenth hole, 428 yards, was watched with great interest.

Tailer won the hole in 5 to 6, which still left Douglas dormy one on th ematch. The last hole was won by 3 to 4 which gave to him the match by 2 up, after a most spirited contest. Their scores were as follows: Findlay S. Douglas. Fairfield County: Out 53565546 443 In 77 3 64556 3 46 SS James A.

They both played at the top of their game and Colby had all he could do to beat the inter scholastlc champion, who stuck to him to the very finish. Colby won, however, by the close margin of 2 up and 1 to play. Their scores were: Howard A.

M. Martin Carey Was Shot Through the Heart and Another Man Wounded. THE OFFICER WAS INTOXICATED. There Was a Row in the Passageway, Followed by the Firing of the Shots. While arguing with a number of ybung men in the passageway of Gustav Spohr's saloon at 49 Montrose avenue in the Eastern District a few minutes after 2 o'clock thiV morning.

James Doyle, a detective attached?" to Captain nRVnnlrls' st jjff. shot and almost instantly killed Martin Carey, 23 years old, tinsmith, and then shot August rMiller, a peddler, through the left band. Doyle, it is.sald, fired three other shots, discharging all the cham bers in his revolver. Doyle has been on the force iearly ten years. He was made an acting detective about three years, ago and has.

been working on policy shop and nickel in the slot cases!" He Is of medium height and slim build for a police officer. He is married and lived with his wife at 73 Herbert street, in the Eastern District. Immediately after the shooting Doyle was placed under arrest by Patrolmen James Kiernan and Henry Htllings of the Stagg street station. Doyle was intoxicated, but made no resistance. The revolver with which he fired the shots could not be found, but subsequently the police found a leather pistol case in the back yard of the hotel.

Doyle, it appears, visited the hotel between. 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. There he met Maggie Miller, 25 years old, who gave her address as 2,610 Atlantic avenue. The bar was open, but some half a dozen men were still sitting around at tables. According to the testimony of some of them when Doyle came in Maggie Miller joined him in a side room, the door of which led to the passageway.

Mrs. Spohr spoke to them there occasionally. Among the men in the main barroom were Carey, Henry Klotz, 24 years old, of 174 Montrose avenue; Hiram McLarney, 19 years old, of 76 Richardson street; August Miller, 25 years old, of 173 Montrose avenue, and Conrad Konzelmann, 25 years old, of 1,344 Myrtle avenue. About 2 o'clock some of the men in. front became noisy and Proprietor Spohr told them to get out.

Several refused and demanded more beer. Spohr insisted that they, must get out, whereupon one tall and muscular man told Spohr to shut up. Spohr became angry and started to drive the men out. Some of them were willing to go, but others were not. and they began to quarrel among' themselves.

In the meantime Spohr kept shoving them out and finally cleared the barroom. He and his wife were left alone. The men continued to quarrel in the passageway opposite the room in which Maggie Miller and Detective Doyle were. So far as can be learned they gave no cause of offense to the guests, but it is thought Doyle asked them to keep quiet and they resented his authority. Doyle was stylishly dressed, wearing a light summer overcoat, derby hat, a natty tie and light trousers.

Altogether he looked more like a clerk or shopman than an officer of the police. Shots were then heard in rapid succession at the side door while the men were leaving. Mrs. Spohr closed the back door and turned down the gas. In the darkness she could not find the key to lock it.

Neither could Spohr. In the meantime one of the young men forced his way back into the saloon and. remarking to Mrs. Spohr that there had been shooting, entreated her to let him out and get away by the front door. She refused and placed her back against the exit.

Therr the iran jumped toward the window and with both feet kicked it out. The man is believed to be Konzelmann. He remained in the vicinity until placed under arrest as a witness. Officers Helling and Kiernan of. the Stagg; street station, who were on post at Leonard and Sendee street, received the first notification of the shooting.

The young man, McLarney, came up and told them. Both officers made their way with all speed to the place. On Lorimer street, about 50 feet from the side door of Sponr's saloon, they came across Carey's body. It lay on the pavement.

On seeing the officers Doyle, who at once recognized them, replied: "I'm here, Jim;" "I'm here, Harry," referring to the officers. "What are you doing here, Jim?" Officer Hellings asked him. Doyle did not reply. Officer Hellings then tcok Doyle back into the room. Mrs.

Spohr and Maggie Miller were there. No revolver was found on Doyle. In a statement afterward made Doyle said: "I had no revolver. Carrying one in my light summer clothes would make the weapon visible." Doyle further said that he had been drinking a little Rhine wine but was not drunk.

American Jockey Creates a Sensation at the Newmarket Meeting in England. London, April 13 Tod Sloane, the Americaa jockey, won four races at the Newmarket Craven meeting to day. When he first made his appearance to.

England this spring even his admirers were somewhat shocked at the poor showing he. made. During the past three or four days, however, he has made up for all that. On Tuesday he rode two winners and on Wednesday two more. This was a good introduction to to day's fine showing, which cornea very near tying his five winners in one day last fall.

The showing to day is one of which any jocky on any track might be proud. When he first landed in the trial race with St. he was received with a storm of applause. The price was 11 to 8 and he was heavily backed, not only by the American settlement, but by many Englishmen, who have become converts to his style of riding. When later he landed successively three other races, the applause which he received was such as few English jockeys have ever enjoyed, and ihe sensation which he created last year was repeated.

In the first race he had no trouble in lapd ing St. Ia, the property of Sir R. Waldle Griffith, first in the race for the Newmarket Bi eninal Stakes (the second year of the fortieth.) The race is of 10 sovereigns each for starters, with 500 sovereigns added; for 3 year olds; second to receive a sum equal to 10 per cent, on the whole stake, and third a sum equal to 5 per cent.

To tho Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle In one of the numbers of your paper about' April 1 appeared a notice from some Western city of the severe illness of a woman, caused, by reading a story about cerebro spinal meningitis. She was suffering from the same dis ease and lying at the point of death. It said her case is what is known by physicians to be "sympathetic contagion." Our physicians all know that by simply reading up the symptoms of any disease one may be caused to suffer the same through what they term as "unconscious mental cerebration." Now, why in the name of all that is human is there not some law made to prevent the wholesale description of all kinds of diseases in the advertisements of patent medicines in the newspapers? It 6hould be deemed a crime and punished as such to place before the public all these sickening details. I for one as a mother object to having these things placed before the eyes of my children, and thus filling their timid natures with fears that bring the things feared upon them. One feels the need of a.

thorough mental disinfectant after looking through the dally papers. I am glad to notice that tne Eagle, although essentially an advertising sheet, has fewer of these advertisements than almost any other paper. I saw only two quite inconspicuous ones in to day's issue, and I would have been better pleased had these been omitted. Surely we have plenty of competent physicians to treat any form of sickness when it appears, beside, it is most dangerous to experiment with any sort of drug that is not recommended by a physician In good standing; and these physicians most of them have plenty to do without having diseases manufactured for them by unscrupulous quacks. Who knows how much disease and distress might be prevented if the ideas about them could be kept out of the imagination; of the young especially? Paul was surely scientific, to say the least, when he admonished us to think upon whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely and of good Teport.

These are wholesome subjects for thought and do not in any way include sickness and its sickening details as fit subjects for thought. Paul must certainly have regarded them as at least unprofitable and all experienced physicians will today surely agree with him. Will not the Eagle do something to stop this wholesale infringement upon the public health through the means of these unscrupulous advertisements and thus further the cause of JUSTICE. Brooklyn, April 12, 1899. (The Brooklyn Eagle is exceedingly careful to keep out of Its columns really tionable advertising of all kinds.

There is hardly a day in the week on which many dollars are not rejected by the Eagle because of the doubtful character of advertisements offered. In the matter of patent medicine advertisements, more particularly referred to by the correspondent, the Eagle would cerr. tainly not be justified in rejecting a drug or nostrum simply because of "sympathetic contagion." It is well known that many physicians recommend to their patients certain patent medicines which are advertised in the newspapers, and the publisher of a newspa per would indeed find it very difficult to draw the line between those articles which have merit and those which have not. The Eagle, however, will not knowingly publish the advertisement of a quack medicine in" the sense that it is one which tries to de celve the public. It will not publish the ad.

vortisement of a medicine which is known to be harmful or injurious; neither will it pub" lish an advertisement that is immoral or suggestive. The Eagle prides itself on the cleanliness of its advertising columns. At the same time readers should not think thajt1 false modesty in words is real There are complaints that are best plainly referred to, if, or when, referred to at alj. There are, on the other hand, well worded advertisements which are vile, such as appear in "personal columns," of which the Eagl has none. Ed.

Eagle.) EX THE EAGTjE KVBBY DAY In THE WEBB vow ROUTE OF THE PROPOSED LIVINGSTON STREET WIDENING PLAN. TBta talk about. Livingston street widened would be a good thing to relieve traffic, but I have never favored widening the street. I think the necessary relief can be given by carrying more people on the elevated roads. I H.

Koch of S. Koch Sons Fulton street is overcrowded, of course, and the widening or Livingston street is the only way to remedy the condition of things as far as I can see. I could not tell how trade would lie affected by the improvement. It is a good idea, however, and I would like to see it curried through. I don't think the proposed change in the railroad service will bring about the required results.

Caleb V. Smith of Browning, King Co. It remains to bo seen whether the first; proposition about the change in the operation of surface cars will do all that it is thought it will do. It is theoretical. I am inclined to think, however, that Mr.

Rossiter is capable of handling the situation. By carrying out all of his projects I think there will be no necessity for widening Livingston street. Mr. Critc'nley of Cowilerthwalt Co. All these things are problematical.

I think. I have n'ot. given the question much thought, but I certainly am in favor of anvthine that will tend to bring business activity to this section. I Hugh Boyd of Journaey Burn'nam Com pa ny This reduction of the service on the I trolley car routes may give reiicf to the con gested condition of Fulton street, but it does i not seem to me to be the right thing, for people as a lle will not ride short distances on the elevated roads. I am in favor of making Livingston street wider and there is no doubt that that improvement would be a valuable one.

Mr. Thompson of the Brooklyn Furniture Company I do not think the traffic should be diverted a bit from Fulton street. The change recommended in ihe car service would have the effect of sending people to New York. We cannot get too many people here on Fulton street. By making traffic easier to New York it makes matters worse for the Fulton street business men.

Gardiner D. Matthews cf A. n. Matthews Sons I am under the impression that the worthy president of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is fully capable of handling the situation. I think his scheme for relieving the condition of Fulton street is a good one and will'' solve the problem which has given us so much trouble.

I think it is only a matter of time when the widening of Livingston street and other streets south of Fulton be compulsory. A. .1. Nutting 1 xhlnk favorably of the proposition tt reduce the number of cars on the surface and increase the service on the elevated roads'. Mr.

The same might be said of the Third avenue line.

All these things are sure to come, however, for the" city is growing and we must have changes and improvements. Mr. Goldberg, superintendent at A. r. Namm's Wo have always been in favor of widening Livingston street.

But we do not fear any proposition that will make it easier to get to or come from Manhattan. When the bridge was first built the howl arose that all the business would go to Now York.
