To tin Editor of the Brooklyn Xaglc: I read tho first column of the supplement of your paper last evening. I would like to offer a few thoughts, suggested partly by tho remarks of some members of the Board of Education, In regard to vacation.

Mr. Gates says: I Would rather have the opinion of 'l00 parents on the subject than that of 5,000 physicians. me add I would rather have the opinion of one good teootaor oa the subject than that of 100 parents. A good teacher Is a parent and she doesn't need to be literally a parent to know the needs and best intreests of a child. Let the teacher speak a moment, let her as an advocate of the petition advance her reasons.

I might first, with Dr. Harrl gan, argue: The early portion of September was concededly the most unhealty season of the year, as people were theu suffering from the accu nulative heat of of the Summer. But accepting this only as a cause of the condition of things In the class room in the early portion of September, let me epeak of the effeets of opening sohool at the beginning of said month. Children come Into the school with bright, happy, little faces and willing hearts to their work, after their long rest The air of the room, warm before their entrance, Is warmer after and less pure. The confinement is a little Irksome, after eo long a freedom, and a little restlessness ensues.

I am speaking of the majority of the children, those In the primary grades. Restlessness caused by heated and limited restraint produces inattention. Let tho teacher possess over so much nervous energy, magnetic influence, adaptability to clroum Important ohangea of position were made In the league arena yealerdey, one of which was the placing of Chicago at the head of the list, with Detroit second, New York being forced back to third place and Boston to fourth position, Despite the fact that Indianapolis has been putting up a very strong game against New York, and In consequence was not a team to be trifled with, Captain Ewing tried an experimental game yesterday which proved costly. He put in Crane to pitch, whose sole strength in the box If strength it can bo called la bis groat speed, and though ho had plucky Murphy to catch for him, what with his speed and his utter lack of command of tho ball Murphy could not catch him properly, and the result was defeat The score stood at 1 to 1 up to the fifth Inning, when Indianapolis went to the front by good bitting, and tbey remained there until tbe seventh inning, when New York got In two runs. But this was offset by throe ou the other side, scored by wild this gave Indianapolis the game by 6 to 8.

No less than eleven errors were charged to New York aud six of these were costly battery errors. So much for Swing's experimental game, New York will never win with the big catcher as captain; he lacks tbe headwork of Ward or O'Rourke. At Boston yesterday Pittsburg won by 9 to 4 and Boston went to fourth place. Eleven fielding errors tell the tale. At Philadelphia Chicago was given a chance to make it three straight by the blunder on the part of the PhiUios In putting Sanders in to pitch against Krock, Chicago winning by 6 to 5.

At Washington Detroit made it four straight, eleven fielding errors telling the story there, as In New York and Boston, la each city eleven errors being charged to the defeated team. Petrolt won by 4 to 2, Gruber pitching against O'Day. The Detroit sluggers only made seven hits. Here Is the record to date: Voting Ladles and Gentlemen Enjtortain Their Friends. The clasa day exercises of the class of '88 at AdelpM Academy took place last evening In the chapel of that institution.

Thirty young ladies and gentlemen filed into tho chapel at 8:30 and took their seats In the two front rows. The excessive heat prevented a large audience, but many friends of the class were present and applauded rapturously at critical moments. The exercises ware begun with a few words of welcome by tho president of the class, Mr. W. H.

Mr. George H. Louns bery was the orator and he delivered an address to his classmates upon "Individual Architecture." Miss Grace M. Hasting read the history, which was greeted with applause, and then Miss Carrie H. Angoll, a charming young lady Iu pink, gave the poem, of which the following was the flrBt stanza: The Adelphl clasa poet I'd leave you to Know Has not a deairablo post; For the time in the life of the class Bhe may treat Is but a few minutes at most The poem abounded in local hits and was appar ently thoroughly appreciated.

Mr. Sinclair Graham made the presentation, which consisted In giving to each member of the class some absurd present Mr. Charles S. Halght read the will by the class, bequeathing to the coming senior class Its class album and other possessions. The exorcises la the chapel closed with the sing ing by the class of the following song, written and compoged by Miss Helen H.

Sands: Njw aa hero we gather, Let not our hearts be sad: Joy fills the years behind us. Makes the future glad. Friends that years have tested change cannot lake away. Though night must gather round us, It will break in day. Trusting in our motte.

Strong in our friendship's bond, Bravely we cross the threshold Into life beyond. There 13 work before us. Change that none may foretell; But niem'ry is immortal, Though we say, farewell 1 Tho class officers wore Mr. W. H.

Special services in connection with the dedication of the Fourth Universalis! Church, on Quincy Btreet, near Held avonue, were held In the building last eveuing. A large assemblage filled tbe brilliantly lighted and bright looking church when the exercises begau.

The choir sang an anthom, and then the pastor, the Rev. Abram Conklln, read from tbe Scriptures. The Rev. Dr. Taper offered prayer, and then the congregation sang.

BoHob, D. preached tbe sermon. The music was under the direction of Professor C. M. Harman, organist The Fourth Universallst Society has made wonderful strides in tho short period of Its existence.

It was organized In February, 1685, and its increase was rapid. The society held its first services In Kidgewood Hall, but the lncrenso in tho number of Its members, duo to the ability and energy of the Rev. Abram Conklin, and other circumstances, compelled the Board of Trustees to look about for another and more commodious place of worship. Then it was decidod to build a church, and the money was soon forthcoming. The society is now In 'possession of a new house of worship, and it3 future is bright with tho promise of usefulness and succoes.

Dovotod to the liberal faith, tbo church will minister to tho needs of tho community in which it stands. The new ediflco is built of brick and terra cotta and has a frontage on Quincy street of 50 feet The depth of the building is 60 feet.

A curious question was brought up yesterday morning in th9 Supreme Court, Special Term, before Judgo Cullen, In connection with tho habeas corpus in the caso of Charlos, alias "Butch'' who is in Jail uuder an indicLmout for murder in the first degreo in connection with tho killing of Lyman S.

Weeks and also for burglary. Las week Abraham Suydam, who appears for Miller, toot out a writ of habeas corpus for Miller's production in court, on a motion to discharge him from custody on tho ground of the failure of the District Attorney to try tbe case. A demurrer Co the indictment is pending In the Court of Sessions before Judge Moore, which has not yet been passed upon. The District Attorney claims ho is waiting for the Court to decide the demurrer. When the writ was called yesterday Counselor Suydam said that the writ bad been served upon the Sheriff, but he had refused to produce the prisoner unless he was paid a fee of $3 allowed by statute, and received a bond with good and sufficient sureties that the prisoser would be kept in safe custody and returned to the care of tho Sheriff.

The claim Is made by tbe Sheriff under Section 2,000, of the Code. Counselor Suydam claimed that If tbls claim ot the Sheriff's was allowed it would amount to a virtual denial of the right of habeas corpus to the prisoner, as he had not a cent, could not pay the 3 and could not give a bond. Counsel submitted that the Legislature could not enact a provision which would work in any instance to the nullification of a constitutional right. Judge Cullen took the papers and will look, into the matter. SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A WILL.

It Turned Out, However, to Be a Deed of Her Property. Ellen Fitzgerald has begun an action against Julia Loretta McCabe to set aside a conveyance of certain roal estate on Norman avenue and Oakland street in this city. The complaint sets forth that the plaintiff Is an illiterate woman, 78 years old and cannot read or write; that on July 14, 1831, one David McCabe, tbe father of the defendant, came to tbe plaintiff and indsced her to make her mark to a document which he said was In the nature of will, that it would leave her property to her heirs and that she could change its disposition at any time she chose. Subsequently she discovered the document was a deed take effect at her death, and giving the property to the defendant The con sideration named wa3 1, love and affection. Plain tiff asked that the deed be cancelled.

The com plaint was filed in the County Clerk's office YOUNG BRATTOJf AGAIN. Jutisre Walsh Listens to Oue of His Art istically Framed stories. Thomas Doran, of 40 Prince Btreet, was before Judge Walsh yesterday on a charge of hav iue assaulted Laurence Bratton, of 177 Presldeut ntreet, on the afternoon of May 30 last Laurence, although but 12 years of age, has succeeded in acquiring sufficient notoriety to last him the rest of his life. He admitted that he had run away from home fifty two times, and Officer Mc Comb.of tho Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, swore that from what he knew of him ho would not bellove him under oath. The boy's parents are respectable and well to do.

Ula story or the alleged assault is believed to be a tissue of falsehoods, framed in his usual artistic manner. Owing to the absence of witnesses for the defense tho caso was set over until Monday afternoon. PAUL BAUER'S ESTATE. The Appointment of a Committee Take Charge of It Asked For. to Yesterday morning Lawyer D.

B. Thompson made application, upon the petition of A. H. Mathe sIub, for the appointment of a committee to take charge of the estato of Paul Bauer, who is now a lunatic and confined in the Bloomlngdale Asylum. It was set forth In the papers that the counsel Is president and A.

H. Mathesius the manager of the Covered Tube Cable Railway Company; that some time ago this company made a contract with Bauer to construct a railway on his property at Coney Island, and that Bauer was to furnish a building for the shelter of the machinery and cars. They ask that some one be appointed with whom the csmpanycan do business. Judge Cullen directed that notice of tbe application be served upon Mr. Bauer, and the matter was made returnable befsro tho Court next Monday.

Deputy Register Cole Asserts that the Department's Affairs HaTe Been Yery Carelessly Conducted Clerk Pitts Working" Hard Stralshten Tliinsi Oat. Clerk Pitts, the newly appointed Democratic clerk at Board of Education Headquarters, is fpersplrlug pretty freely overa tough Job. Mr. Pitts Was formerly a clerk in the Assessors' offlco and the experience ho gained there is now being utilized. Be is hard at work trjing to evoke order out ol about as tangled a mess of chaos as ho ever struck.

In other words, he is endeavoring to straighten out the Board's affairs with the Department of Arrears and to And out, if he can, why Register John C. JIcGutre has advortliod for sale certain parcels of property belonging to the Board for non payment of assessments. Thero is little doubt that tho Board of Edusntlon, or the various law committees thereof, has been singularly careless in its methods of transacting business, or this property would never be bo advertised. Deputy Boglster ol Arrears Cole takes this view of the case and he said to an Eaglb reporter this morniug: "For the past six years I liavo been trying to find out from tho Board ot Education what property it owns in the city so that It would not be advertised for sale. I have also employed more than ordinary methods to haTe the depattinout pay up the assessments in arrears.

Iu previous sales I have managed to hold back Board of Education property, so that none of it has passed Into tho hands of outside parties. Still it is not always possible to do this, and without a list of the property bolonging to the Board to guide me some of it might be sold. The fluanclal loss to the city tu case of such a sale would bo slight, but the inconvenience very great?" Is not the Board of Education property exempt from taxation was asked. "That is so; but it is not freo from assessments that may be levied for improvements or from the payment of water rales. The property advertised tor sale is for nnu payment of assessments.

I sont a notico to tho department with one of the catalogues. In reply I received Ihe catalogue back with the items iu which the Board of Education plainly appears as owner cheekod as property not to be Bold. I could not believe that the list included everything, for the Board has recently purchased much property which may bo advertised for sale under the names of former owners. That was pointed out to the Board authorities and they have relegated Mr. Pitta to make investigation." The sale of property in arrears began yesterday.

Jlr. Pitts has Just begun his work with the air of a martyr and says that ho has got at least a three clays' Job before him. ThlB It a list of Board property advertised for sale and tho assessments upou the same: Headquarters Red Hook lsne 868.38 Jjaiayette svenuts, near Classon 107 .88 Hoyt street, corner of Presi itnt 118. 38 South Fourth street, ntsar Berry 58.52 IMsujer street, ne.tr' fiwea Union avenue, near Staug street Wilson street, near Bedford 138.01 Heyward btreet near Broadway 65.74 Mr. Horace Graves, who is a member of the Law Committee, when asked by an Eagle reporter what lie thought in regard to the matter acknowledged that tho Board had been for years past extremely careless in its methods of transacting business relative to the purchase and registration of prop perty.

In fact, divested of its logal phraseology, Jlr. Graves' conversation intlmatod that the Board really does not know what property it owns or does not own. Mr. Graves did not say this flatly, nor would he confess It, but he did say this: "When the present Law Committee started to hunt up titles of its property, I was confident that it would bo unable to discover what that proporty was. The Bearch a long and extremely difficult one, but eo far facts have not borno out my expectations.

I am confident that we now know what properly we own." "Would it not have been possible, Mr. Graves," was askod, "that property might have been sold bolonging to the Board of which tho Board know nothing?" It might hare been possible, Dnt such does not appear to have been the case." You acknowledge that matters relative to tho purchase of school proporty have been conducted iu a most unbusinesslike way. do you not Of course they havo. It is precisely as though a business firm owning seventy pieces of proporty should rely for a knowledge of tho titles of that property upon one clerk who was constantly going In and out of office. Law committees are constantly changing, you know, and no one of them has left things in good shape for years past.

We are now reducing the thing to some system and Sir. Pitts, who was formerly a clerk in the Assessors' oflloe, is now at work upon it." Is it not true, Mr. Graves, that Mr. Pitts wus put upon that work but yesterday after the committee had been notified by Mr. Cole Yes, that is so, but the matter has been In contemplation for some time.

I do not believe there are more fbfn three pieces of our property upon the arrears catalogue, anyway, are there When Mr. Graves was told that there were eight pieces and among them the headquarters In Bed Book lane ho appeared greatly astonished and unable to explain the situation. FREE TRADE AND PROTECTION. A Discussion Under the Auspices of the Single Tax CInb. A meeting was held in Avon Hall, at the corner of Bedford avenue and Halsey street last evening, under the auspices of the Single Tax Club, lor the purpose of discussing the well worn question of Protection and Free Trade.

The place was crowded and on the platform were Thomas G. Shearman, O. F. Burton and John Jarrett, tho latter a gentleman connected with the tin plate Industry In Pittsburg. He is a strong advocate of protective principles, and in the Fall of 1886 stumped William K.

Morrison's Congressional District in Illinois and is said to have encompassed by bispro fectiou arguments tnat gentleman's aeioat The meeting was called to order by O. F. Burton and John W. Harman was chosen to preside. 11 We are fortunate In having two such able ex Sounders of the two principles as Mr.

Jarrett and r. Shearman with us to night," said Mr. Harman, on taking the cnalr. "On Monday night we beard the English side of the subject. To night, I hope, we will bear the American side." Mr.

Jarrett was then introduced and at once opened the discussion. "I am a Welshman by birth," he said, "and when I came to this country I was a free trader. I began to see plainer after a while and became a Protectionist. A thing that set me thinking when I first arrived on American soil was the fact that the men who advocated slavery also advocated free trade." He then reviewed in brief the fundamental prin ciples of free trade and protection. The working' men bad their labor to sell and sold it in the dearest markets.

Under the law of free trade em Dlovers were permitted to buy their labor in the cheapest roarxet ue speager contenaea tnat wages were highest In this country during the high tariff pe riods. There can be no absolute freo trade. We will have that when we all are aticels. All civilized nations practiced either a tariff for revonuo or a protective tariff, a tariff should be placed on all Imports that ccnUlcted with homo industries. The wages of labor depended upon the maintenance of an Amorlcan standard ot prices based on an American standard of wages.

Thomas G. Shearman followed: "I want to hake hands with Mr. Jarrett." he said. "1, too, am a Welchman. 1 came to this country many years before Mr.

Jarrett, but. strange to say. while he came here a free trader and turned pro tectionist, i came nere a protectionist sad turned tree trader." Mr. Shearman then gave many statistics showing that ireo trade would benefit the wsrklugmen. lligh prices, he contendod.

did not make high wages, but low prices, steadily continued, had a ten dency to do so. Can you give any explanation of the vote in Oregon asked Chairman Harmon, a Btaunch Ro punucan. All I can say at Dresent" renlied Mr. Rhparman. Is that the Republicans have carried Oregon and ineuutcn nave laiton noiiana." Laughter.l Mr.

O. F. Burton was the next BDeaker. His principal argumout was that England had always been antogonlzing the American system of government, either openly or secretly. The speaker said be held to the Henry Clay and Monroe doctrine.

that the United Statessheuld establish a thoroughly American system here and resent any interference xrom any loreign power. A WINDSOR TERRACE CASE. The Watson Brothers Both Prosecutors and Defendants The court room in the Flatbush Town Hall was well Ailed last evening by persons anxious to near the trial ot George and Fredorlck Watson, complaint of Juan Alzamora, for assault, also the trial of Alzamora for malicious mlBchief, before Justice Cox. Alzamora claims that while returning home last Thursday evening ho accidentally brushed against the fence surrounding the Watson residence and that the two brothers unmercifully beat him and that they forcibly took $10 from aim. Alzamora still bears signs of his punishment The WatsouB claim that their fence had been frequently broken and that they lay in wait on that night and saw Alzamora deliberately break the pickets.

He gave them the (10 for damage done. They also admit giving Alzamora a good drubbing. The peculiar feature of the cases is that all the parties reside In Windsor Terrace, do not know each other and bear the best of reputation. Owing to the absence of Jorry counsel, the trials of all were set down for June 20. A PICNIC TO PROSPECT PARK By the Sunday School children of the Greenpoint Universalis! Church.

The children attached to the Sunday school of the Third (Greenpoint) TJnlversallst Church were made happy yesterday by a picnic to Prospect Park. The little ones were conveyed to the grounds In cars deckod with flags and drawn by four horses. The day was most pleasantly spent in rambling, boating and playing games, tho children returning to their homes aboui dusk, highly pleased with the day's enloyment The picnic had been given the scholars because of the decision of tbe officers of the sohool to take no part in the annual parade, to which objections, owing to the condition of the streets, were offered.

C. SmithA Description of the Proposed Structure. The Brooklyn Bicycle Club is essentially thorough in all that It undertakes. Its growing membership, its success on track and road and its reputation for "worklug" members are convincing proofs on this point Within the past few months its two rival organizations havo moved into new and handsome quarters in this city. While friend3 of the wheel noted with satisfaction that growing popularity of the "steel steed" which had enabled both the Kings Connty and the Long Island Wheel mon to erect their spacious club house many of them felt a trifle surprised at the continuance of the oldest and most powerful wheellog club in Its cramped quarters on St Felix street But the Brooklyn men wero simply the Brer Rabbits pro tens, of the 'cyclists.

In other words they laid low and kept on thinking. The result of those cogitations can be seen In the plans ot the to be erected magnificent club quarters which bangs over the mantel piece of the smoking room at the existing club house. Mr. E. C.

Smith, who is a member of the body, is the architect, and he seems to have produced a design admirably adapted to the purposes for which the structure is to be used. The building will be four stories high, and will also have a basement floor. This last will be six feet below the level of the street and will be reached by an inclined plane from the pavement It will be 80x23 feat and, additionally, is to have nt its further end au extension 25x20 feet This basemont will be used for the storage of wheels. The root of the extension will bo of glass so as to permit of full light being thrown upon the machines during the process of cleaning or repairing. There will be facilities for the storage of 200 bycicles in this part of the building.

Access to the floor above will be obtainable by a flight of corkscrew steps on the right. This floor has immediately behind the door opening on the street a vestibule which leads Into the grand hall, which Is 29x23 feet. To the left of the vestibule is to be a large bay window separated from the room behind by a heavy hanging screen. To the left of the hall there will be an antique open fireplace, with "dogs'' and chimney seats. At the back Is tho billiard room, measuring 34x23 feet.

The second floor has in the front a bay window, the sounterpart of the one below. Behind It are the parlor and reception rooms, and at the rear of these are the library, card and reading rooms. By an Ingenious arrangement the partitions separating the various rooms Just mentioned can be folded back against the walls, leaving one great apartment, 51x23 feet, admirably adapted for balls and those "little afalrs' for which tho Brooklyn is famous. Here again Is found a baronial fireplace, as on the floor below. Tbe third floor also has a bay window corresponding to the other two.

Iu the front, on tho right of this floor, are the officers' rooms, and on the left private dining rooms. Behind these aro the club lockers, baths, private dining rooms and bath rooms. TheBe take up a space of 51x16 feet The fourth floor has the great feature of the edifice. This is tho gymnasium, 23 by DO feet It will be fitted with all the latest appliances, will have a track running around It, elevate 1 feet above the heads of those on the floor below, and will have special arrangements for bicycle practise. At the rear are the Janitor's quarters.

The front of the building is to be faced with raasslvo blocks of gray stone. The basement entrance will be arched with specially cut portions of blue stone. Above each window are to be terra cotta facings, with the lub monogram in reliof. Access to the main door Is to be obtained by six steps of gray stone, with the letters B. C.

C. inlaid lu copper. Each bay window Is to have am oriel of beaten coppor. The ground for the building is to be broken early in October. Tho lease of the present premises expires on the 1st of May, 1889.

The site of the new club house is within half a mile of FlatbuBb avenue depot, but as the final documents between the seller and the club will not be signed till Wednesday next, the latter for obvious reasons decline to tell the exact whereabouts of tbo contemplated purchase. The building will cost $23,000, exclusive of the ground. Its Interior will be elegantly fitted and ornamented. ALL SAI.VTS' GUILD FESTIVAL. Ice Cream, Strawberries, Flowers and Music in a Tent.

The weather favored the Guild of All Saints' Church at tholr annual Btrawberry festival, which was held last evening, and tbe event was more than usually successful and pleasant The large tent was spread in the vacant lot beside the church, at tho corner of Seventh avenue and Seventh street The entire street side of the ent was open and displayed various colored paper lanterns, flowors, pretty girls and decorated tables. The festival was given by the Sisterhood of All Saints' Guild, Mrs. Mllllken president, ossisiod by the brotherhood, of which Mr. P. A.

The committee at this booth wero Miss Shopard, Miss Millie Wilson, Miss Minnie Hedenberg, Miss Annie Halgh, Miss Maud Field, Miss May Harris and Miss Edle Nock.

There was also a prettily arranged lemon ade table In charge of sevoral ladies. A band of music Just behind the flower booth played lively tunes at frequent intervals and added considerably to the pleasures of the occasion. FOR THE SHELTERING ARXS NURSERY.

E.Churcb, In Bridge street, against St Paul's Congregational Church, at Flatbush, was concluded late Tuesday afternoon by a verdict which seemed to be a victory for both Bides.

The struggle was over the aore aud a quarter of ground occupied by tho.church and burial ground of the defendent society In Flatbush. The verdict of the Jury gave to the Bridge street society the possession of the burial ground, and to the Flatbush society tbe possession of the church edifice and the ground on which it Btands. This is substantial justice. It was shown by tbe evidence that tbe church of the Flatbush society, which was originally a branch of the Bridge Street Church, was largely built with money raised among Flatbusb people, and they had kept it in repair ever Bince. Tbe verdict Beemed satisfactory to both sides.

J. McCants Stewart, the young colored lawyer, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Hon. John Oakey for tho Flatbush ohuroh. SEVENTEENTH WARD XAHHATTAX CLUB. A meeting of the Seventeenth Ward Manhattan Club was held last night In their rooms, at 455 Manhattan avenue, with President Arthur E.

4,447, entitled "An Act for the erection of a pubUe build' ng at Bar Harbor, in Maine." The entire town within which Bar Harbor Is situated contained in 1880 1,69 inhabitants, aa appears by thecenBus of that year. There Is no pretonse that there is any need of a public building there except to accommodate the post office. This It a third class omce, and the Government 0063 not pay the rent for offices of that class. The of tho offlce for 'he year ended Jane 07, v3 a uabwueror uenerai at. fcvttj.

Ihe postmaster reports that he employs nve ihe fact that Bar Harbor is 'a place of very exten stve Summer resort makes its population exceed. ing variable, and during a part ot the year It Is' quite likely that the influx of pleasure seekers may make a more commodious post office though there does not seem to be much com plaint of present inconvenience. The postmaster pays a rent 6f J500 per antrum tot hta present quarters. The amount appropriated by the bill is aulto moderate, being only twenty five thousand dollars," but the postmaster expresses the opinion that proper site alone would cost fromtwestyto thirty thousand dollars. tUe "Pinion that if a public building is to be erected at this place, of whi6h at present there appears to be no necessity, it should be done under a system which will not give the post' offlce and the postmaster there an advantage over others of their class.

Gbove CmvjiLANn. executive Mansion, June 5, 18SU To the House of Representatives o1. approval House bill No. 1,391, entitled "An act authorizing the Secretary ol the 1 reasury to purchase additional ground lor the aci; mulowa.1" eoTorameut offices lu Council mffT fu.Dlio buillmg at Council Bluffs will be' completed iu a short time. The ground span if na3 a 'rentage of 192 feet and a depth of 106 feet aud 10 Inches.

The proposition Is hi H.t.b,irL7,6' 10 im u8Pth The act under which this bsilding has been thus far constructed provides that the ground purshased therefor shall oe si such dimensions as to leave the building un exposed to fire by an open space of at least forty feet, including streets aud alleys. The building is luca'od on laud now belonging to the Government, sufficient in size to comply with this provision and, in point of fact, more than the open space required 13 left ou all sides of the same. There is no pretence that any enlargement of the bulldlug Is neo ossary or contemplated. The report of the committee to which this bill was referred in the House simply states that "the grounds ou which said building is situated are Inadequate for its proper accommodation and safety." if this Is so, 1 can see no reason why additional ground should not be purchased for "the proper accommodation and safety" of a large proportion of tho public buildings completed aud In process ot erection, since the provision that there shall exist forty feet of open space on all aides is, I think, contained iu all tho bills authorizing their construction. In this view the proposed legislation would estaWish a very bad precedent It is provided In the bill that the additional thirty feet mentioned shall be purchased for a sum not to exceed 110,000.

The adjoining 106 feet and 10 Inches, located on tho corner of two streets, were purchased in 1882 by tho Government for $15,000. Tbe permission to purchase this addition, at a price per loot greatly in excess of that already owned by the Government, sooms so unnecessary, except to benefit the owner, that I am of tbo opinion itshonlj' not be granted. ROVER ClBVELAND. Executive Mansion, Juno 5, 1888. To the Senate I return without my approval Senate bill Na T39 entitled "Au act granting a pension to Johanna Loewlnger." The husband of tho beneficiary named la this bill oiiilsted Juno SS, 1861, and was discharged May 8, 1862, upon a surgeon's certificate of disability.

He was pensioned for chronic diarrhea. He died July 17, 18T6. A coroner's inquest was held, who found, by their verdict that the deceased came to his death "from suicide by cutting his throat with a razor," caused by long continued illness." This inquest was held immediately after the Boldlnr's death, aud it appears that the case was fully Investigated with full opportunities to discover the truth. Upon the verdict found, lu the absence of insanity caused by any disability, It can hardly be claimed that his death was caused by his military service. The attempts afterward to impeach this verdict aud iutroduce another eause of death do not seem to be successful.

Groteb Clbteland. Executive Mansion, June 5, 1833. ARRESTED WITH THEIR BOOTY. Burglars on 'kheir Way to Now York Captured by Officer Brinkerholf. Officer Brinkorhoff, of the Bedford avenue Police Station, saccoeded early last evening in cleverly capturing a couple of thieves who had only a short timo before committed a burglary ia tbe handsome residence of Mr.

William J. Logan, the wealthy iron merchant, at 100 Kent street, lu tbe Sovontoouth Ward, making a haul of abput $7110 worth ol wearing apparel and other articles. Some of this plunder was found la the possession of the men when arrested. At the Station Houbo the prisoners described themselves as John McManus, aged S3 yoars, of 413 Graham avenue, and Georgo Baln volle, alias Blunfield, of Bowery and Houston street, New York. It was subsequently learned by the police, however, that Blunfield lived with bis mother at 247 South First street He was suffering from a wound upon the head which had been inflicted by the officer during the encounter which followed the arrest At the time the men were taken luto custody they were in the act of crossing over to New York by way of tho Grand street Ferry.

There were four In the party, two of whom escaped. One of the men who escaped is supposed to have carried with him a seal skin sack valued at 1500, as no trace of the missing garment can be fouud. Mr. Logan's house had been vacant since Monday, some of the family being In Europe and the others In the country. Shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the young daughter of ex Alderman Connolly, who lives opposite the Logan dwelling, saw tbe four men emerge from the building.

The occurrence seemed a strange one, as It was veil known in tho neighborhood that the family were absent from the house. It was fully one hour after, ward, however, when tbe ohlld reported the facts to the Seventh Precinct police. Captain Rhodes and Detectives Donlon and Qulen went to the hoaee, and, upon Investigation, found that the lock oa the front basemont door had been forced. Everything about the place was in disorder. Tbe girl was able to give a fair description of the men she had seen coming from the building and a general alarm was Immediately sent out Before the alarm had reached tbe various police stations Officer Brlnker.

hoff too of the men In custody. Word of the arrest of the men was sent to the Seventh Precinct and last night a brother of Mr. Logan, who lived opposite him, went to the Fifth Precinct and Identifled the article, found la their possession as thoso belonging to his brother's family. It was he who acquainted the police with the fact of the loss of the sacque. What the actual value of the articles stolen Is cannot be learned until the family return.

Word of tho robbery bas been forwarded to Mrs. Logan, who will probably reach home to night This morning Justice Nae her held the prisoners for trial. PUBLIC SCHOOL HO. 83. Principal Ilannatord Awards Certificate to Meritorious Pupils.

Brooklyn's Ball Players Score Another Victory. The Laek of Harmony in tho Ranki of the St. Louis Team Tary Apparent in Defeat Latham Rebuked by the Umpire for Illegal Couching. The confidence the Eagle has expressed in tho ability of tbe Brooklyn team to cope successfully this season with the St Louis champions was again sustained by yesterday's victory, which was won In brilliant style after a plucky up hill fight in the beginning of the game, the visitors being virtually defeated In tho sixth inning. The fact is that tho St Louis team have achieved much of their success In the Spring campaign by their hurra style ot play, and by considerable good fortune in finding opposing teams in an unfit condition to play their best, as they did the Ballimores, tho lat ter team lacking tbe effective services of Greenwood in their series with St Louis, as otborwlso tbo champions would not have left Baltimore as successful as they did.

The fact was shown yesterday that the champions are not as harmonious a team as they are supposed to be by considerable. Latham, when be left the grounds after the match yesterday, was in a savage mood, and ho openly said that "the Browns could not play ball any more." Evidently there had been a row in the camp after the game yesterday. Ab long as tho team wins a majority of their series in each city things keep on pretty smoothly among them; but when thoy meet with such set. backs as they have had In this city the champion camp Is disturbed, and Its innate weakness In regard to the lack of harmony In tho ranks is developed. The final result of yesterday's contest was a great disappointment to Comlskey.

After closing their fourth Inning with the score at 2 to 0 In their favor they fully calcu lated on coming out of the contest with a second victory. But iu this estimate they did not take into consideration two important facts, one of which was that the Brooklyn team are playing in thorough harmony together and rapidly getting up to tho point of telling team work In their play; and that they are also able to play a strong up hill game, as the last two contests with St Louis have plainly shown. Tbey are in to win the association pennant this season, and they are going to do It and don't let that fact be forgotten. The game of yesterday opened favorably for the visitors by a score ot 1 to 0, two scratch hits, aided by a eacrlflee hit and a bad throw to second, lettlaj in a single unearned run iu the first inning, while two good hits by the home team failed to yield a run. In the next two innings the home team got over their temporary "rattling" Iu the first Inning and disposed of their opponents in regular order, and though in their third inning thoy got in a base hit and had a life given them they did not profit by It, so the inning ended with the Browns in the van by 1 to a A bad muff by McClelian, aided by a base hit and another poor throw to second, let in anotber unearned run for the Browns la the fourth, and, with the score at 2 to 0 in their favor, Comlskey, Latham and Robinson who, with O'Neil, comprise the main strength of the St Louis team felt highly elated.

But before the sesond part of the inning onded they toned down somewhat, inasmuch as a clean two bagger by their old companion, Foutz, aud Smith's sharp hit to fight field, which bothered McCarthy, sent in an earned run, and it proved be the beginning of a plucky up bill rally for victory which culminated In a brilliant attack made on tho enemy's battery in the sixth inning. The fifth Inning ended with the score at 2 to 1 and the visitors still in the van, but not quite so confident as before. In the sixth tuning the Browns were blanked for the fourth lime, and then tho home team went In to win. Plnkney led off with a bit which would have yielded two bases but for McCarthy's fine fielding: but after had been missed by Mllllgan on a short fly tip bo was forced off by McClellan's hit to Robinson. Then Orr came to the rescue with a two bagger which ylolded a run, owing to McClellan's sharp running from first to home base on the hit Foutz then hit a hot bounder to right field which Comlskey could do nothing wllh, and Orr went to third, aud directly af forward Foulz stole second and made Robinsou mad.

Then Smith sent a daisy cutter to center field which sent Orr homo with the run which gave Brooklyn the lead, and it made Latham and Comlskey blue. O'Brien now sent a lively bounder to left field which gave him two bases and sent Foutz and Smith home, and Comlskey, Latham and Robinson looked awfully tired. Radford's sacrifice sent O'Brien to third, but that' ended tho run getting as Holbert was thrown out A3 tho Browns came in from the field and realized the painful fact that Brooklyns now held the lead by 5 to 2 they began growling among tBemselvos, and the latent discord in the team was made manifest The home team now had tho game well In their bands, and Mays, who had been doing effective work in the box since the first inning, sent in balls which led strike after strike to be callod, aud that, too, from balls hit at by the domorallzod Browns. O'Niol who led at the bat for tho visitors got In his third safe hit In the eighth inning, but Comiskeyin his effort for a homo run only gave Foutz a chance for a catch, bo O'Niol was, left for the second time. In the seventh inning of the home team, Plnkuey, aftor beiug bit on the finger and thereby given bis base, was sent to second by Milligan's high throw, McCiellaU being theu given his base ou balls.

On Orr'a safe single Plnkney scored, and then Foulz hit apparently with safoty to right field, but McCarthy mado a magnificent running catch, which resulted iu a double play, and so only one unearned run was scored, but It strengthened the Brooklyns' lead by 6 to 2, and Comlskey, Latham and Robinson looked awfully cross. Iu the eighth Inning Smith led off with another daisy cuttor George is slowly gotting luto baiting bails to the ground and rfe was batted round to third by two outs, aud on a wild throw by Comiskoy to third scored another unearned run. As the bail went by Latham out of his reach tho latter said quietly, "Oh my, cap, that la awful," and it was, as it gave Brooklyn the lead by to 2, aud an Inning to spare. In tbe eighth and ninth Innings Comiskey put Hudson in in McGarr's place, Hudson going to short field and Robinson to second, Mr. Garr beiug too lame to play further.

Comis key's aim was to rope in Hudson la place of King in the box, but he failed in his plan. After two men were out in tbe ninth inning Hudson made a base hit, Mllllgan forced him out and ye dog was dead." Here is the score: ST. LOUIS. B.lB.P.O.A.E, BBOOKLYH. K.1D 12 12 0 r.stham.3b....

Of tbe play of tbe home team In this contest, that of Smith was especially noteworthy, from the fact that he went into the game with a sore finger which almost disabled him; hence his poor throwing In the first Inning. But he made eight fine plays In the pluckiest manner.

Tbe disabling of Smith would cause Radlord to be brougbt in to cover short field and Silch to play at center when Car ruthers was pitching, and It is in this power to replace disabled men In the Infield which Is such a feature of tho home team's strength this season. The outfield was finely played by O'Brien, Radford aud Foutz the strongest outfield in the association to day, because of its double strength in batting as well as fielding. Plnkney and MeClollan covered their bases finely, McClelian pnttlng out and assisting in seven chances out of eight, and Orr was at home at first base, which he has made tbe citadel of the infield. Holbert was a little off in his throwing, but otherwise caught Mays finely. He very appropriately put the mask on Latham's faco at one time In a futile attempt to muzslo that noisy coacher, who In this game had to be called down for Illegal coaching.

O'Kell's fielding and batting were the feature on the St Louis Bide, errors offsetting fine plays by others of tbe team. Tbe simple fact was that tho Brawns were plainly outplayed In this game, and the realization of the fact made the famous trio of tho team as mad as hornets. Thoy play their last game of the series to day, and it will be three straight, Just to oblige Latham, who was fixed in his spinion that Brooklyn wouldn't get a game in the series." So he thought last Sunday, as did others. But different views prevail now. Poor, demoralized Cincinnati lost another game to the Athlecties yesterday and too, after ending the eighth Inning with the score at 2 to 0 in their favor.

Viau was put in to pitch agalust Seward and he bothered the Athletlo batsmen Immeusely up to the ninth Inning. The heavy hitters of tho Athletics could do nothing with him. In fact, most ot the Athletics' hits were made in the ninth and eleventh innings, when they Bcored seven runs to the Cincinnatis1 two. Kappell and Fennelly aided tbe home team with four cosily errors, the Athletics only earning two of their seven runs. Just think of it, the "coming champions losing nine games out ot the last ten they have played.

In Baltimore yesterday Porter was again pat In to pitch, and for the third time out of thirteen games he managed to pitch his team on to victory, simply because they secured a lead of 3 to 0 la the second inning and kept it up. The moment the team rets behind when Porter Is pitching, away goes his heart Into his boots, and Mullane Is another of the same style of pitchers who pitch a great game as long as they bold the lead la a contest Yesterday Kansas City won by 4 to 0 In runs, though Baltimore had Kllroy In the box, but he lsnot pitching the game this season he did last year. Tbe Boltimores failed to get a bit off Porter, and the visitors got but four off Kllroy. Only que maa was pitched out on strikes on eaoh side. At Cleveland yesterday Becker was pat la to pilch, with Cask as his catcher, and he had to pitch to suit the sore hands of Cook and the result was a' slugging; rsatcb, the Cleveland winning by 23 to 19.

MAY GET HIBSELF DISLIKED. Manager Goundie makes a Rule iu Reference to Appointees. Manager Goundie, of the Kings County Elevated Road, has decided upon a measure that will render him unpopular with the applicants for 'positions on the road. He has declared that hereafter appointments will be made from the classes known as gatemen and engineers. A considerable number of applioationB for the places of firemen, conductors, agonts, eta, have been made and some of them have been standing for months.

Not a few ot the applicants have considerable political backing. Several have already withdrawn their papers, asserting that It Is unfair to adopt such a rule at this late date. The wages of a gateman Is $1.25 per day, and this is held to be but little inducement to a man of family, especially if his application was made for a more lucrative position. Manager Goundie's purpose in adopting this rule Is to start the men low and advance them as they are needed. An opportunity will thus be afforded to test their qualifications.

stances, let her bo ever so flno a disciplinarian she cannot fight against the physical conditions which she finds confronting her. Tho children actually fall asleep over their work or sit with vacant stare. Their minds, at a certain point, refuse to act I might havo said at a certain temperature. Right here, what shall wo do Shall we force the child, by the inevitable reward and punishment, to attend to his work? We can. Should we? We should not it is the mind we are supposed to develop, to train to work out its own salvation.

Just as soon as compulsion takes the floor eur true work ceases. We do what the complaining and rightly complaining parent says, cram. The mind of the child Is emphatically not benefited by being in school during the warm season. Tho natural oxerciBe of body and limb, though on the street, Is more conducive to corresponding development of brain than sitting still and moping In a stuffy, stifling, disease breeding room. Let tbe parent, one of Mr.

Gates' 100, come into a class room of 50 little ones with the perspiration streaming down tho sides of their little faces. See the flush ou their cheeks, the unhealthy gloss of their little eyes and toll me they are learning anything! Let the parents come and they'll side with me and my aister teachers. Turning from the result on the children's minds let me speak of external effects. John has been in the sun. If his mother could but see him enter sohool I Ha ha3 been playing.

His hands are moist with perspiration. He has touched his pantaloons or Jacket The dust has adhered to his hands. A beautiful sdow white page of the drawing book lies before him. He begins to draw. The little smear Will then appear.

Now we are told We must not scold; And if we do it Of course we rue It But when we look At that dirty book, dearie me, 'Tis bard to see RosultB like this So bo remiss. Wo must not, as true teachers, tell a child he Is bad. We must not tell him his work Is poor, when It is his best Was John's work his best? Yes; under the circumstances. Wo learn to do by doing." This speaks alarmingly for Johnny's future, for Johnny wiil keep on "doing" this and he'll lbarn" something that first week in September. But to reach practically those children Mr.

Teals talks about. Only three weeks' vacation never seemed to affect Mr. Teale's Intellect or physical condition and bo might oppose me on that ground. I am not up in statistics, but I think the air was purer in the city when ho was a boy, tho environments much better for physical conditions and the requirements ot a child far less than now. He didn't need a "long" vacation, he evidently didn't want it, by his desire to treat the present generation to the samo agreeable feast The children who remain out jot town can very readily make up for a few days loss but the children who remain in town will bo greatly benefited by attending school.

Now this latter class has been, In Imagination, visited by "one of the one hundred" in a previous part of my lotter. It Is Just these children that I am talking about, many of whom wear the same pantaloons and Jackets all Summer, and thus help make the atmosphere redolont. Now as to Mr. Rowe's proteges. I agree with him as regards them, provided very few aro in a room, and that special teachers be hired and extra pay given for tho instruction of these little street waifs.

I think bis little folks are In the minority. If we could establish such schools as he suggests or keep open special schools, wherein such children could De worked up," It would be a blessing to tho children, and a priceless assistance to the te acher of regular classes. "Bctlor late than never." Can the Board of Education revoke their decision, if so, will they God and reaBon, pity, love, experience, all virtues are on our side. Come lot us reason together."

LONG ISLAND SOUND. Harbors of Refuge iVoeded A Danger, ous Bar. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: This is one of the finest marine thoroughfares in the world, but there is no good harbor of refuge east from Huntington Harbor. The eastern part of the sound is from fifteen to twenty miles wide, and yachts, coasters, are ofton subjeot to great annoyance and delay because there is no harbor along tho north shore of Long Island. West from Horton's Point Lighthouse a shoal or bar extends for several miles aud on this many vessels have been wrecked and others frequently ground, causing much delay and expense.

Tbls bar Is within oue and a half miles of tho shore and runs nearly parallel with it At low tide the water oa the bar Is only from three to nine feet in depth, while within large vessels can float at ease. At high tide coasting schooners load from the shore. Practical men who havo made soundings believe that a breakwater might be built on tbe bar at a comparatively small cost, thus affording a good harbor of refuge for coasters, Sound steamers, yachts, between Duck Pond Point, a little northwest from Peconlc station and Horton's Point Light At the east end ot the bar there is a' good entrance and a fair one from the west The Hon. s. S.

Hawkins, who navigated Long Island Sound several years ago, states that if Government effl clals were only familiar with that locality, they would wonder that a caroful survey had not been made long since. To this end the Hon. Perry Belmont Is working, and Judge Nutting, of the River aud Harbor Committee, having examined the subject, regards It with favor. A concise statement was made to Senator Evarts and he said that he would give attention to it The Hon. Darwin R.

James knows from experience the need of a harbor of refuge along that shore, and he has been Indefatigable in his efforts to forward a careful survey. It is not a local matter, but a subject of Interest to the commercial world. TL P. Lono Island, June 6, 1888. THE DROWNED (illtL IDENTIFIED.

A Pitiful Story by Her mother to tile Coroner. The body of the 17 year old girl which was found floating in the water ou Tuesday at the foot of Partition Alfred MeCCr, was yesterday Identified by Mrs. Amelia Biskupski, of 304 East Seventy fifth street.

A JUROR'S HASTY TEMPER. It May Spoil Three Days' Eiegal Work on a Case. The snit of Ida Pettys against the Brooklyn City Railroad for $5,000 damages because of in Jurlos sustained by being thrown from a car at Third avenue and Forty ninth street has occupied the attention of Judgo Osborne and'a jury in the City Court since Monday. Ex Judge Samuel D. Morris and Mr.

S. Stowart Whitehouso appeared for the railroad company and Mr. Jere A. Wernberg for Miss Pettys. Yesterday morning ex Judge Morris was engaged attending to the call of tho calendar in the Supreme Court and Mr.

Wernberg and Mr. Whitehouso were similarly occupied in Part of tho City Court, so that it was 10:15 when the gentlemen appeared to continue the trial of the case. Tho jurors were promptly on hand, however, and one of them, Mr. Samuel Rothschild, seemed particularly impatient When Mr. Whitohouse entered the court room Juror Rothschild said to him angrily, but iu a tone not loud enough for Judge Osborne to hear: Where is Judge Morris I have had to run from my business to got hero In time or be either fined or reprimanded.

It Is his business to he In time here and not to keep men from their business." Mr. Whlto'inuse, who is always diplomatic, smiled on Juror Rothschild as he said: "Unfortunately Judge Morris has been called Into another court and tho delay is unavoidable." "I don't care whether it is or said Juror Rothschild; UI will givo him ten minutes to get hero or I will leave the court." At that moment ex Judgo Morris entered 'he room and learnod of the Juror's angor. Ho immediately asked Judge Osborne to excuse Mr. Rothschild from further consideration of the case, as he evidently could not render an impartial verdict while feeling enmity toward counsel. Judgo Osborne said the luror was under oath to render a verdict according to tho evidence and he did not think that he would allow any feeling of annoyance to Interfere with him rendering a Just verdict Judge Morris thereupon took an exception to the ruling, and If the suit Is decided agalust the railroad company the juror's hasty temper may result in anew trial beiug granted to the detriment of the interests of Miss Potty's, and tho nullification of tbreo days work.

Mr. Jere. A. Wernberg, who appeared for that lady, seemed as much annoyed at tho discussion as did any of the parties to it HENRY B. DAVIS RETIRES.
