MATINEES TUESDAY AND SATFitDA Y. ifl a a a HARE obliged to report every morning at Long Island City. On the second day, I think it was, a man by the name of Cokely, "Bill" Cokely, we called hlra, failed to answer to his name. Later in the day we learned that he died suddenly while preparing himself to report for duty the lie had a large family who were dependent upon him for support, and his case excited the sincere sympathy ot all his associates on the force. That night, going home from the Fashion course on tlia train, it was suggested that the hat bo passed among the men of lite detail, and, as a result.

$10.1 was secured, and this amount I took and handed to the widow. This proved so acceptable, under the circumstances, that the subject of forming an association composed ot members of the Metropolitan police, which, as you know, then included Brooklyn, so that a substantial benefit might be paid to tha widow or friends of a deceased member, began to be actively discussed. It was finally decided to assess the members of the association which was eventually formed 50 cents upon each death and this plan has worked admirably and many thousands or dollars have been paid out. In 1SS5 tho members of the Brooklyn police concluded that they would organl.n on a somewhat different plan, but the inspiration for such organizations originated in tho way I have described." Superintendent McKelvey took an active part in forming the Brooklyn association and some of his associates in the same work were: Captain H. Folk.

Sergeant Holbrook, Fred" Jenkins, Captain Ellas Clayton, Captain Miles O'Reilly and Sergeant Alexander Barr. Fred Jenkins was the lirst treasurer of the association, serving for eight years consecutively, and during his term of office was paid out in death benefits. During this period of tho organization's history tho fund raised by the assessment of members was supplemented by the proceeds of benefits given at the theaters, but during later years this source of revenue has not been availed of, but reliance has been placed entirely upon assessments. The Letter Carriers' Mutual Benefit association came Into existence in 1S72, when Samuel Booth was postmaster. Before the association was formed, whenever a carrier was laid up, either as a result of sickness or accident, his fellows were generally asked, when pay day came around to contribute something for the assistance of tho disabled member.

This happened so often that it was thought wise to form an organization and collect regular assessments from the carriers and pay a stipulated'sum in benefits. The association formed at this time has grown steadily in membership until last year the sum of $5,000 was paid out. The membership is now 4G0, and each one is assessed 50 cents a month, which, with other receipts to bo referred to later, enables the association to pay $7 a week to disabled members, and $200 to their heirs in case of death. The association also sends a floral offering to the funeral of a deceased member, the cost of which is limited to $10, and a delegation from the organization always attends such ceremonies. en who join the force of carrier3 are allowed two years within which they may connect themselves with the association, but after that period they cannot join, except by the suspension of the bylaws governing this matter.

The income of the association, as described above, is supplemented by the proceeds of the annual Letter Carriers' ball, which usually occurs at tho Academy of Music. The last event of this kind took place on Tties day evening, December 3, 1895, and wa.t the means of adding nearly $3,000 to the funds of the asociation. Xo medical examination is required of applicants for membership, but the advisability of doing so is being discussed. Recently the resources of the organization have been heavily drawn upon by men who have become unfit for duty very soon after becoming members, and have remained in that condition for a long time. The assistance extended by this association has been particularly acceptable for the reason that the letter carriers, unlike the policemen and firemen, are not paid when disabled by sickness or accident.

which either furnish an Income for their members when disabled hy sickness or accident, wlirn thr retire from active service, or, pay a slip ulated sum to the heirs of deceased members. These benefit societies are improvements on similar orcanizatlons, which have existed in different parts of the world for centuries. It is certain that such societies were in opera titn ssineihins like three centuries before the Christian era. The history of Catharine's Guild, an English Institution, is traced to the fourteenth century, having been formed I at Coventry in the reign of Edward III. If a member of this organization suffered loss from fire, water, robbery or other calamity, the guild advanced a sum of money without interest.

If sick or infirm, he was supported. Those who died without means were given decent burial at the expense of the guild. These benevolent organization. have been imnrov ing with the spread of Intelligence, the I amount of indemnity increasing and the cost decreasing. Such mutual benefit organizations have increased to an astonishing extent in Brooklyn, and a vast amount of good has been done by them.

The following descrip tion ts conuneu to tne benevolent organiza CAPTAIN MILES O'REILLY. tions connected with the police, letter carriers, firemen and public school teachers: The Brooklyn Police Mutual Aid association is one of the most successful organizations of the kind in existence. Since its formation, which was in ISSo, the total amount of benefits paid aggregate the handsome sum of $170,600. According to the annual report, which was issued on January 0, isn6, there were 1,312 members in the association, which comprises nearly the entire police force of the city. Each member is assessed $1 per month and extra assessments are levied when an unusual number deaths make additional funds necessary.

The maximum amount paid to the families of deceased members is $1,000. and during 1S95 $25, 400 was disbursed, which was for twenty six deaths. In addition to the assessment a fee of 25 cents a member is charged per annum, which covers the cost of running the association. The receipts last year from dues was Each policeman is given sixty days after joining the force, during which he may connect himself with the association, and after that time has expired special action must be taken by the organization in order to admit applicants. The average cost to members for the right to leave 51,000 to their families has been $12.25 per annum.

Each applicant is required to submit to a medical examination before he can be admitted, and ex members as well as active men may join the association. Each station house has a representative of the organization, who is authorized to collect the dues from members and remit them to the treasurer, who is Sergeant T. C. PATRICK H. TRAYERS.

Humphrey of the license squad, whose office is in the basement of the city hall. Special effort is made to pay the benefits as promptly as possible, and it frequently occurs that the sum due reaches the family or friends of a deceased member before the funeral occurs, but this is dependent upon the condition of the treasury.

This incident occurred in the spring of TXiM.

The Bro. klyn Teachers' Life Assurance association dates back to 1S71. At that time it had 771 members and this number has steadily increased until at present the membership is 1.4B9. The sum of $300 is paid to the assigns of deceased members, and in order to do thiis an assessment of 50 cents upon each death is made. Last year there were eleven deaths and the assessments per member amouiited to $2.

The Brooklyn Teachers' Aid association is still another beneficent organization among public school teachers. Its object is to furnish assistance in case of sickness or other cause whlchi prevents the teacher from performing his or her regular duties. The benefit takes tho form of an annuity, the minimum amount cf which at present is $5 per week and the maximum $7. The laws require that the annuities or benefits shall be one tbird the yearly salary at the time of retirement, and members who may be deprived of position or salary by reason of prolonged sickness, and desiring temporary aid may make aplication to the beard of trustees, who may grant such aid as the case demands. The annual dues are one half of 1 per of the annual salary received on December 1 of each year.

According to tha last annual report this association hal a permanent fund amounting to $49,773.94. Its officers are: President. William M. Jelliffe, Public School No. 45; vice president, William L.

Felter, Public School No. 15; recording Grace C. Wilson. No. 18; financial secretary, Libble J.

Edglnton, 47; treasurer. Jaanes Cruikshiank, 12. Beside these officers there is a beard of trustees comprising the leading principals and teachers of tho public schools. In the fire department there are several organizations of a similar character as those already outlined. First in importance comes what is known, as the Brooklyn Fire Department Widows and Orphans Relief fund.

This pays to the heirs of deceased members the handsome sum of $1,000, and very nearly every member of the force, now numbering 858 men, is connected with it. When a man joins the force he receives a blank which he is requested to sign, and which authorizes tha controller to deduct $1 a month from his pay and this is applied to the fund from which the death benfits are paid. This organization was formed in September, 18S3, and up to the presnt date the handsome total of has been paid out. At the beginning of the association's history tho fire force was not mora than half the size that it is at present, otherwise the amount of money expended in death, benefits would be nearer the total of the police association, which latter is $170,600. The police force is nearly double that of the firemen.

The widows and orphans fund is controlled by a board consisting of the mayor, controller, auditor and fire commissioner. Another organization of firemen of a similar character as those described above is tho Brooklyn Fire Department Fund association. This was formed in January, 1SSG, and any member of the uniformed forco is eligible 'to membership in it. An assesment of $1 per member is made and the total sum thus collected is paid to the member who retires or resigns from tho department. Thus If there were five hundred members tho sum paid would be $5,000.

The aim of the organization: is to provide an amount of money that a man can use while he is getting started iu a new occupation after leaving the business of putting out fires. The average cost per member thus far has been $4.70. Tho officers are: Patrick H. Travers, assistant foreman No. president: J.

II. Jeffers, retired, vice president and treasurer; F. J. Wohllefer, repair shop, secretary. There is also an officers' association of the Brooklyn fire department which was organ ized on March 25, 1S05.

It is composed exclusively of officers, and provides for tho payment of $300 on tho death or retirement of members. The assessments to secure this benefit are $1 per month. Those who were instrumental in forming this organization were: Jcseph McCormick. Daniel J. Garrity, David Kirkpatrlck, Peter Campbell and Edward Dougherty.

Ther is still another benevolent organization among the firemen and this is called tho Firemens' Mutual Benevolent association. It Is a secret society, has about six hundred and fifty members and is confined exclusively to the men, officers not being admitted..
