THE BROOKXiYN EAGLE THURSDAY. JUNE 25, 1896. AMUSEMENTS. BROOKLYN SEIDL SEASON OPENED. MR MC MILLIN'S SPEECH.

Marie;" Mendelssohn's "Athalle March;" the Intermezzo from "Cavallerla Rusticana;" cav atlna by Raff, and "Coronation March," from "The Prophet." Additional Interest was lent to the programme by singing of Herman Dletmann, who gave a very pleaslng rendering of threo songs by Sehuman and one by Brod sky. As the first strains of the "Bridal Chorus" from "Lohengrin" were heard the ushers and bridesmaids entered the church from the vestry and proceeded down the side aisles to the main entrance, meeting the bride and maid of honor, and then leading the bridal procession to the chancel. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. E. C.

J. Kraeling, pastor, the Lutheran ritual being used. Tho bride was given away by her cousin, the Rev. expect her to move wltih us In this direction? He Who does has read her history In vain. She demonetized silver eighty years ago.

She has nover made an agreement since looking to its restoration, and if the American people indorse this platform it is notice to her that she need not co operate with us. And there this important matter ends forever! All she need do is hold out, and this platform pledges our opposition to coinage. When will she give her consent? When did she give their rights to our fathers? Not until eight years heroic suffering and bloodshedding by our ancestors. When did our people ever before bow to England in anything? Yet, after all of this glorious fighting we are asked to hold up our hands and let her shackle us now. Republicans make the surrender; Democracy declines to do it.

Gentlemen who think this possible mistake the spirit of the American people. When we changed the money denominations from pounds, shillings and pence to dollars, dimes and cents; when we dtitermined to issue the greenback currency that has been a part of our circulation for a third of a century, did we jisk England. France or Germany to allow it? AVhen we passed the Bland act In 1S7S, under which we have coined hundreds of millions of money, did we go and get first tho consent of "'the leading commercial nations?" Not a bit of it. It is true that Mr. Hayes vetoed that measure In an effort to try to get us to obtain such consent, but his veto was overridden, as it deserved to be.

When do men smmcss we will be able to obtain tho consent Pi ym 15. If El A LARGE AUDIENCE AND A GOOD FIRST PROGRAMME. Nearly 900 Women Waded Through the Rain Yesterday Afternoon to Their Devotion to the Ssidl Society. Fine Soloists for the Festival. The clerk ot the weather must be an Italian melodist: otherwii he never would have arranged such a depressing storm for the open ng of tho Wagner festival at Brighton beach.

If Farmer Dunn or Jupiter Pluvius imagined, however, that they could dampen tho enthusiasm of the Saidl society by such a downpour as that of yesterday they did not know the material they were dealing with. In the face of the cold rain somo SoO women and 37 men went down to Brighton beach yesterday afternoon to welcome back Anton Seldl and his orchestra and to inaugu rate another season of the Seldl society summer concerts. This was the more remarkable because tho Wagner festival, which has been extensively advertised for. this week, and which is one of the most remarkable series of special programmes which the Seidl society has ever attempted In the summer, did not begin until evening, and the afternoon programme, while interesting and well put together, contained nothing that the faithful at Brighton beach bad not heard many times, and some things, like the "Tannhauser" march and the Liszt Polonaise, which many of tho audience knew note by note. But tho crowd was there, and under ordinary circumstances that would have meant a Jam in the evening, when the festival opened with five soloists and a first rate Wagner pro gramme.

But yesterday circumstances were extraordinary, the most so of those on any dav which a lone familiarity with Brighton beach enables the writer to recall. By the stupidly disjointed management which prevails there the hotel, which is under a different direction from the concerts, does not open until Saturday, yesterday there was no siem of life about the building except an open office door and one or two employes inside to see that no one sought shelter there. The rain increased in vigor all the afternoon, and when the crowd left tho concert the walks were flooded, the wind was blowing half a gale, and there was no place where the people who ordinarily stay for afternoon and evening could find a tight roof, let alone dinner. There was nothing for them to do but come back to town. Having done that it was too much to exDect of the most devoted enmusi asm that they should return at night and wade or swim or float from the station to tne music hall.

As a matter of fact, but few of them did go. yet at night the audience num bered between two hundred and three hundred, and the festival began with an enthusiasm which six hundred or seven hundred hearers would hardly have increased. After such an exnibitlon as that it is time for tne people who talk about the little band of cranks or the handful or women wno go to tne semi summer concerts to go to the and count up the audiences. All last season and the season before those were anytning duc little, and on many special occasions the big pavilion was crowded, extra seats being brought in. Yesterday indicates that when the weather clears up this year's record will equal or exceed any that has preceded.

Musically there were no signs of the storm insidfi the rjavilion. save for a little heaviness and an occasional scratch on the part of the strings. It seemed as if ilr. Seidl, the orchestra and the soloists were bent on giving their best to an audience that had come out in such weather. The afternoon opened with the march from "Tannhauser' a number whdeh sets the pulses of a Brighton beach audience tingling with memories of many fine concerts in which it has nguren ana one wnose mag nificent swing and power would raise the spirits of any audience whatever.

Then there was the "Leonore No. 3" overture, which Mr. Seidl played with especial care, perhaps be cause It was last played for the society under Theodore Thomas paton; tne Baca Bounoa Meditation," which served to show the firm. fine tone of Inez Caruzzi, tie harpist who has taken the place so long held iy Mr. Cheshire: the Llstz "Grand the Moszkowski "Serenade, which PaderewskI used to play as an encore and which the audience tried in vain to get Mr.

Seidl to repeat Weber's "Invitation to the Dance," with Weln gartner's excellent and not often heard or chestration; the intermezzo from "Caval the ballet suite from "Coppelia, the one with the dance of automatons, and at the end a Strauss waltz, Roses From the South. That is almost an Ideal programme for a sun shiny afternoon in July and the rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. Henry Schmltt, who is again assistant conductor, led the Intermezzo and the waltz and got a pleas antly warm greeting. There were many other faces among the musicians, too, which have come to be old mends to the Seldl audiences Stolz, trombone; Steeckert, flute; Hallego, 'cellist; Richard Arnold, violinist, who is well known to concert goers, though this Is his first season with the Seidl orchestra, and Sam Bernstein, the manager of the orchestra without whose manipulation of the drums no body would believe he was at a Seidl concert at all. In fact, out of the fifty members of thlB summer orchestra there are but twelve new names, while most of the others are only less familiar figures in their places than Mr.

Seidl and Mr. Bernstein are in theirs. The festival began In the evening and that, too, opened with the popular Tannhauser, the overture, probably the most widely liked piece of music which this orchestra plays, being the first number. It has been played at the beach hundreds of times, seldom or never better than last night. After it Evan Williams, tenor, sang the "Am Stillen Herd," from "Melstersinger," and the spring song from "Walkure." Mr.

Williams has a good voice and he did not lose the Wag nerian spirit because he sang in English. The orchestra gave tho bachanale from the Pari slan version of "Tannhauser" and Mrs. De Vere Saplo sang Elizabeth's address to the halls of her fathers from the same opera, an aria, which seems to bewitch so many concert sopranos, though it is less moving and less suited to Mrs. Saplo than the prayer In a later act, and 8he did not appear at so good advantage in it as she did later in the quintet from "Melstersinger," where her voice rang out finely. The orchestra played an arrangement of the forge scene from Sieg fried," which held many reminiscences of Alvary's singing of the scene without the dis tressing tone quality, which has marked tie work of the great "Siegfried" for two sea sons past.

When the singers came on for the quintet Fischer was In the front row and the sight of his big, Jolly frame started wave of applause. The famous Hans Sach; has not been in better voice for years and his associates last night were Mrs. De Vere Saplo, Gertrude May Stein, alto; H. Evan Williams, Royal Stone Smith, who has de voloped into a fine baritone. FiBcher sang tne opening phrases witn Droaa sonority, set ting the style for tho others and and the result was a superb performance of the quintet, which the audience would like to have heard repeated the last number was Wotan' farewell and the fire scene' from "Walkure.

When Fischer came out to sing It he was kept bowing for a minute or two. He sang as he used to sing tne music ten years ago, when he was tne only wotan, and the rendering of the whole scone pulsed with dramatic fire. To night, when It Is to ho hoped the rain will stop long enough for all the people who wish to hear the music to reach the beach dry shod, the programme will be: "Die Melstersinger." prelude to the third act; dance of the apprentices; procession of the master Adrlaito's aria from "Rlen2l." Miss Gertrude May Stein; prelude. "Lohengrin five songs, "Per Engel," "Im Trlebhou.se." "Schmer zen," "Traume," "Wlegenlled." Madame De Vere Saplo: piano. Mr Seldl; songn "Wle Duftot Doch der Flleder." from "Melstersinger;" "Die Held Orenndlere." Mr.

Was Delivered in the House on the 9th Insc, but Has Been Revised Since the St. Louis Nominations Republican Shortcomings Pictured. (Special to Uio Eagle.) "Washington, C. June 23 The Democratic national campaign committee has adopted Congressman Benton McMIUin's speech, delivered in the house on the flth as a campaign document, ami last night ordered that a quarter of a million copies of tuo speech be distributed all over tho country According to the somewhat peculiar rules of congress, Mr. Mc' Millin has been permitted to revise and complete his speech during the last few days and since the nominations made at St.

Louis. Extracts of the speneh follow: "From tho time that the masses of the people In ISM roso up and condemned the McKinley bill the country has been tortured with the claims of its advocates that it was an all wise and all sufficient revenue measure. was not only condemned in the congressional elections of 18:10, but also in the presidential election of ISM. As the result of these two ad Terse decisions of the people it was repealed. It had not only raised the duties on the necessaries of life in many instances to more than 100 per but under the pretext of inaugurating reciprocity it surrendered the congressional power of levying taxes to the President of the United States.

Under the extraordinary powers conferred by this bill upon liirn the President could impose taxes to day, release them next mouth, and reimpose them the month following. Another extraordinary provision of the bill was that whereby millions of dollars were to be paid in bounties out of public taxes. Taxes were to be raised by contributions, from the masses of the people and in turn paid to the heneficiaries designated by the statute under the bounty law. Thus money was taken from one citizen by taxation to be paid to another. The producers of sugar did not want this.

They urged that It should not be done. They asked only that they bo permitted to be placed under the same law that governed manufacturers of other things. They sent able representatives here to plead against this discrimination alleged to bo in their favor, but all in vain. The sugar duty was repeakd over their protest and bounty provided in its stead. The advocates of the McKinley bill, both before and since the repeal of that measure, claimed that.

It afforded ample revenuo to meet tne expenses of the government. Nothing could be furUier from the truth, let we nave heard it iterated and reiterated during this congress." The speaker then gave facts concerning the revenues raised from the McKinley bill and the deficiencies produced by it. he quoted a statement of Secretary Carlisle and figures taken from tho record of the treasury department. He continued as follows: "The deficiency created under the McKinley law amounted tie last year of its operation to in the fli year of its operation, while it yielded about $26,000,000 surplus it dwindled to less than $10,000,000 the second year and to less than $2,500,000 tho third year, and for the four years of its operation it fell beneath the requirements of the government over $30, 000,000. The deficiency from it tho last oar.

of its operation v. as more than 309,000.000, notwithstanding the fact that there r. as a saving that year under Democratic economies of over $16,000, 000 as compared with tho preceding year. For the last three years of its operations its aggregate deficiencies were over $57,000,000. Tho bill thai: succeeded it Is not responsible for the deficiencies that have characterized tho revenues of the government since its adoption.

In. fact, that measure known as tho Wilson bill made ample provision for the revenue necessary to run the government under the economies Inaugurated by a Democratic congress. It provided an income tax, which, with the other provisions of the hill, would have yielded all tho revenues necessary; hut the supreme court of the "United States overrode its own decisions of nearly a. hundred years and declared the income tax unconstitutional. This remarkable "result was reached through the extraordinary change of heart In one member of the court, who had decided on a previous hearing tho law to he constitutional.

This decision not only overrode the old decisions on the subject, but overrode the decisions made under the income tax laws of the 60s, through which ever $340,000,000 had been collected, the supreme court holding that income tax law constitutional, which was in every essential particular similar to the one passed last congress and overridden by the court; So that the failure of the revenues of las, year and this is in consequence of perverted judicial decisions and not because of the failure of congress to impose taxes or provide revenue." The speaker then proceeded to show that the McKinley bill was framed by interested manufacturers, who wrote the schedules. "Flagrant and outrageous instances could be adduced," he said, "showing that the McKinley law was not made by Mt. McKinley, but was compiled by him at the dictation of the parties interested in the high tariff duties. The job was not only done by tbem, but so tmnglingly done that the track of the different manufacturers can be traced through the ways and means committee room, through the hearings, and into the very statutes where their exorbitant demands were made law. So shameless a surrender and perversion of the taxing power was never exhibited before.

nnd.it is hoped will never be again. This fact is recognized of all men so thoroughly that even the Republican convention that nominates Mr. McKinley dare not indorse hi3 bill. What hope Is there for the republic, what prospect of faithful government, if interested parties are permitted to make the tax statutes of the United States, not in accordance with the needs of the treasury, but in acordance with the greed dictated by their interests?" Mr. McMillin then devotes considerable space on the currency question, saying in part: "It Is gratifying to note that the Republican party has at last quit trying to deceive people as to its views on financial questions and comes squarely out for sold monometallism.

It has at last said What it felt for years that It is for the single gold standard. It has raised the black flag against the white metal. On June 21, 1SSS. when General Harrison was nominated for President, the platform on which they placed him not only declared for silver as money, but blamed the Democratic administration for an alleged effort to demonetize silver. Mr.

McKinley was chairman of the platform committee. What a revolution it must have taken to sweep him irom this to the gold platform on which he now stands. In 1S92. in national convention. It adopted a platform with the heading, 'Free and Safe Coinage of Gold and At the convention just adjourned at St.

Louis, which nominated Mr. McKinley a platform was adopted against the free coinage of silver except by internacfcnal agreement with the ltadfing commercial nations of the world. PresidcntHar rion was elected cn the platform of 1SS8 Senouncing demonetization. Mr. McKinley was elected to congress on it, but instead of ob serving the platform on which they were elected they made the longest stride toward demonetization made in this country since 1873, by passing what is known as the Sher man act of 18D0, which repealed the Bland act, stopped the compulsory coinage of silver, thereby converting silver into a mere com modity, and providing for tine issue of paper reueemaoie in gcci una silver, r.ot on ctine.l silver, but on uncoined silver bullion in tno treasury, unserve, if you please, the evolution of uie Republican party from its platform of 1S8S, denouncing domonoiizaslon.

to It8 platform of 1892. proclaiming for 'free anu sale coinage cf both gold and silver, with such restrictions and under such provisions to be determined by legislation, to tho platform of 1S00. which proclaims not for siCver restoration, nut for bimetallism merely with statutory safeguards, but for tie Idngle gold standard. This platform also makes another' fearful urrur.dc r. The platform of 1832 reserved to tho United State to duier tnln by legislation what safeguards should ba thrown around inagi', but the platform of 1S9G goes beyond ail this, surrenders all claim of legislative cotiiv: i ver the matter, and pledges thi people of the United States to stand by the single g.j.'d standard until Rngland and the flier commercial nations of the world give their consent that we shall have They deciure n.i ailterable opposition to trooooinase unless can get an international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, and declare: Until such agreement can be o.btalnod the existing gold standard must by 'preserved.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: In the CLccount "Which you gave In Monday's issue of your paper of the memorial service held in memory of Mr. Austin Corbln at Long Island City on Sunday afternoon, there are some statements attributed to Mr. Joseph H.

Cummin In an unfavorable position. Mr. Cummin did not say that Mr. Corbln's father owned a farm at Babylon, L. and that Mr.

Corbln workid usbn the farm, as Mr. Corbin's father never owner a farm at Babylon. He did make suoh a statement in reference to Mr. Corbin's father owning a farm at Newport, X. and that Mr.

Corbln helped his father on the farm at that place. It is a well lcnovn fact that Mr. Corbln never built a hotel or cottages at Babylon. Mr. Cummin did say that he estimated on building a residence for Mr.

T. of England to an international agreement for free coinage? The present administration In England has said that it could not be given. Its predecessors for eighty years have said the same, and if you went to them begging this international agreement they would say to you, as Gladstone has substantially said in the past: The world owes us enormous amounts of money. It is In tho form of stocks and bonds and mortgages. To return to bimetallism diminishes the value of these debts; therefore wo canno; agree with you." That is what they have always said in the past.

I concede that international agreement is much to be desired, but at the same time I realize that it is not obtainable with England, and when the Republican party through its platform nledces the American people, in sub stance, not to move until England gives her consent, it seals the doom of international agreement forever. Remember that England demonetized silver in 1816. and has main talned the single gold standard since. Silver was at a nremium in England when she did it She was not essential to bimetallism then; she is not now. Tho speaker then shows what this con gress did not do.

Ivotblng had been accomplished, he said, to relieve the country The Republican party had shown itself utterly inefficient and had failed to solve many problems. He enumerated many Instances where the controlling party failed in its legislation. "There is one thing." the speaker declared, "wnerc uie JiepuDiicans stana pre eminent; it is the most extravagant congress that ever assembled in the time of peace since independence was achieved. The following, taken from the speech of J. D.

The annual summer pest of caterpillars, which destroyed the beauty of many of the trees lining the residential thoroughfares of the city, has now been manifest for some weeks past The Tree Planting and Fountain society has taken live interest in this question and has prepared a circular to the citizens of Brooklyn calling attention to the fact that now is the time to get rid of the pest and explaining the best methods to be used. This circular reads as follows: To the Citizens ot Brooklyn: Within a little while Uie period of hatching of tne hrr3 or tne tuseocK mom (argyia leucosugmai will arrive. It Is very Important for those who wish to be prepared to destroy them, with other leaf eaters, to make preparations without delay.

Those members of the Tree Planting and Fountain society who have placed their trees, under its care need not maJie further preparations. Their trees will be attended to. An outfit for SDravlmr. consisting of a cask or reservoir, with a capacity of from thirty to forty Rations, mounted on two wneeis. witji rorce pump, hosi and nozzles, can be had for from $20 to $30.

This outfit can be operated by two men, and with it several hundred trees of medium size can be protected from leaf eaters. There are smaller out fits, with a capacity of several srallons, that can be operated bv one person. This is sufficient to protect the shrubbery and small trees in a yard. This outfit can be had for $5, more or less, ac cording to size and Quality. Many manufacturers make a specialty of spray ing outfits.

A catalogue can be had by writing to a manufacturer for one. These catalogues usually contain much useful mtormaxion reiauntr to spray inir. as well as a description of various outfits. both as a whole and in detail. A safe solution for general use on shade trees wilt be one third of a.

pound of loadon purple or parls green to forty gallons of water, 1 ounce to gallons, ounce to 4 gallons, ounce to 2 gallons. The reservoir should be carefully meas ured, so the amount or water used may be accu rately determined. The poleon may be prepared by doing It up in package? containing the amount to ne sen. ne emcocy oi tne treatment aepenas greatly upon the preparation of the Folutlon. A solution too strong win rum tne lonage.

too wea.k a solution will be ineff crual. One pound cf cheap fiour to forty gallons of water will improve mixture, and a pint or glucose or cneap molasses wLll cause the solution to adhere to the leaves and not be so easily washed off by the rainf. In the case cf london purple it Is well to mix an equal weight of flour and lime to prevent the poison from burning tne i ne solution sh. be well mixed and constantly stirred while using to prevent settling. Most outilts are pro.

vi.ic witn means to stir tne solution wnntr in use. For the elm leaf beetle the spraying should begin as as the little round holes in the leaf are seen. Par the Tussock moth, as Foon as the eggs begin to hatch. Two sprayings ten days apart may be sufficient: better to spray three times. Heavy rains may make an additional Foraying desirable.

It will be better to mak preparation a.t once, for the time to spray for leaf eaters is near at nana. LEWIS COLLINS. Serretary of the Tree Planting and Fountain Society. Secretary Collins was seen at his residence, 222 Macon street, last night and said that now was the time to destroy the caterpillars. He said the tree must first be encircled with a layer of cotton, to prevent the insects from neighboring trees from going up the trees under treatment.

After this Is done the trees to be treated mus he sprayed with a solution as men tionod above, and this will have the ef fect of killing off all the insects in the tree. Secretary Collins showed the reporter four handsome trees in front of his residence which had been effectively treated by this method, and said it was the one used by the Tree Planting society, and Mr. Collins also wished to call to the attention of the resi dents of Brooklyn the fact that a body of men had been calling at different houses and passing themselves off as representatives of his society. In this way great harm has been done and many people have been cheated. Representatives of this society are not allowed to solicit, and all tho business of tho society is done through its office at 14 Court street.

Since the first or tho year many new members, among whom are a number of Brook lyn's best known citizens, have joined the society and placed their trees and shrub beries under Its care at a cost of a yearly membership fee of $5. The officers of the society are A. A. Low, president; Paul Ford, treasurer, and Lewis Collins, secretary. THE CITY OF COLUMBIA.
