The Golden Salon, with its superb collection of Millinery, is an exhibition of great interest to every one. Sudden Ending of the Eighteenth Game of the Chess Match ATTRIBUTABLE TO AN ERROR.

The Kentuckian Gives Up a Fiece For an Attack That Does Not Materialize as Expected Another sample of the Ruy Lopez in Which Pillsbury Varies His Usual Line of Defense. Pillsbury won the eighteenth game in his chess match with Showaiter this morning, after forty moves, In perhaps the most compli cated encounter of the contest. The Kentuckian played his favorite form of the Ruy Lopez, but at Plllsbury's ninth move he went into a totally different continuation for the defense from any yet played and as a result subjected himself to what seemed an overwhelming attack, in which Showaiter 1 sacrificed a piece, regaining it, however, minus a pawn, six or seven moves later. The battle was watched with intense Interest by many of the club members from start to finish. The score now stands Pillsbury, Showaiter, drawn, 3.

Harry N. Pillsbury sends to the Eagle the following account of the game: "White adopted the Ruy Lopez attack as in previous games, Black varying ait his ninth move with a new idea, wUich allowed White to sacrifice a piece for a strong attack. At the right moment, however, Black was able by returning it, to escape from danger with a pawn ahead. Eventually each remained with queon and two rooks, with Black a pawn ahead. Black soon secured an attack on White's king.

White's fortieth move was an error which allowed mate on the move, altihotrgh his game was apparently lost anyway." The score of the game follows: EIGHTEENTH GAJIK KPY LOPEZ. snowAi.TEjt. White. niack. 1 K4 4 1 Kt B3 Kt QB3 3B Kt5 Kt 3 4 Castlo4 KUP 5 Q4 Kt 3 6 4 5 I snOWAI.TER.

Anderson, at 407 Myrtle avenue.

The order was made at the request of the attorney general on the ground that Andersch was using the malls for tho purpose of fraud, by advertising in the South and West that for a small consideration he would enable the public to malce $25 a day. What Andersch'B specialty is could not be learned, but at 407 Myrtle avenue, which is a cigar store kept by C. Doelle, it was learned that from thirty to forty letters, nearly all containing Bmall sums of money, were received daily. Andersch called each evening for this mail, but what his business is or where he lived no one knew. At the post office it was stated that he is a baker's assistant and that all mail directed to him will be' returned to the writers.

ME. BUNDY'S EEMOVAL, FACTIONAL TROUBLE AMONG K. OF ST. J. AND M.

An Elmira Man Suing on Alleged Illegal Removal From a Trusteeship History of the Difficulty. Frank E. Bundy, controller and county treasurer of Elmira and a man of political and business prominence central New York generally, is suing the chapter ganerail of the Knights of St. John and Malta for reinstatement to tfhe office of trustee, from which ho claims to have been illegally removed. In 1894, at the annual election of the order, held in Toronto, Canada, Mr.

Bundy was made grand trustee for three years. Last September the annual convention was held in Brooklyn at the Athen eiiin, Clinton street, corner of Atlantic avenue, and lasted three days. On the afternoon of the third day the presiding officer announced that the business of the session had practlcailly been completed, and, In consequence, Mr. Buindy, together wlbt a number of other out of town delegates, left for home. Those remaining however adjourned shortly afterward certain lodge rooms on Seher i merhorn street and then and there proceeded I to declare Mr.

Bundy's office vacant and with i a new grand master, William Buckett of this city presiding, Charles Ewafid was elected to finish out the term. Upon learning of the meeting's action, Mr. Bundy, after protesting in vain, was finally obliged to have recourse to law. He has brought suit against the Knights of Malta, through his attorney, H. F.

Lawrence, and a number of Brooklynites are Interested in the case. Mr. Bundy claims that he was deprived of his ofllce without cause and that no charges had been preferred against A member of the order stated that the trouble was the outgrowth of the bitter feeling which had been engendered by a factional fight between two parties In the organization. Tho object of the factional strife he said was to secure control of the board of governors, which, with its seven members, possessed unlimited power. "The faction with which Mr.

Bundy's sympathy rested," said the Eagle's Informant, "had been in control of 'the. hoard for some years. Last year its power was slightly weakened, however, and Mr. Bundy's removal places the reins entirely in the hands of the opposite party." In their reply to Mr. Bundy's affidavit the defendants state thatc the plaintiff did not attend the regular meetings of the hoard and herein violaited one of the provisions of the constitution.

The hoard of governors consists of four officers. Including the grand master and three trustees. The present hoard is composed of the followiing: William Burkeet, Mr. Hotaling, Millard. F.

Smith, Dr. GHder sleeve, George D. Rollins, Charles Hayward and ChaTles Ewald. TO TET A NEW BAIL. BROOKLYN HEIGHTS ROAD WILL USE THE GROOVED VARIETY.

Engineer E. N. Lewis of the City Works Department Urging the Change Upon the Railroads. A pet plan of Engineer E. N.

Lewis of tho Btreet construction and maintonanoo division of the department of city works is to get the street railroads ef Brooklyn to adopt a grooved rail in place of the old fashioned rail now in use. For mote than a year Mr. Lewis has been endeavoring to got tho local railroad magnates to replnce their present tracks the new rail, or to at least get them to nse the new rails in all traoks to be constructed hereafter, and it is likely that his labors hare not been in vain. At tho meeting of the railroad president in the mayor's office monthly, President Kossiter of the Brooklyn Heights railroad system, intimated that it was possible that he would soon plaoe orders for 6,000 tons of the new rails, to be used in repairs and on now lines. This would insure the rail a thorough trial.

ln Washington, for instance," says Mr. Lewis, "a rail with even narrower slot tbsn tho one shown hero is used. The great objection by the railroad companies here is that tho Blots are liable to fill up with dirt. In a clean city like Washington there isjno trouble with such a rail and the model street railroad track system is to be found there. The asphalting in that oity runs flush with both edges NEW STYLE.

OLD STYLE. New Rails Adopted by the Brook yn Heights Railroad Company. of the rails, both outside and inside the tracks, and the reBult is that a wheelman may ride over the tracks at any angle without discomfort or danger. The value of such a rail in this city is that it will prevent wagons from tracking. Tho rail Bhown will give absolutely no tracking edge for a horse to follow, except where very narrow turcd vehicles are used.

An inch and a quarter lire would fall in this grooved rail, but a fraction of an inch and the sloping sides would allow it to turn aside easily and without danger of wrenching tho wheels. "The rail is hut a little heavier than the old style, which weighed 94 pounds to the yard, while the groovedrail weighs 100 pounds. Tho difference in cost is trifling. I hope to see the new ntyle rail adopted before very long." Mr. Lewis, in conversation with Mr.

Rossiter, over the telephone this morning, waB told by the lattor that he had decided to adopt the new groove rail as submitted and that ho was already engaged In considering the figures. These ho will submit to the directors of the company for approval. Mr. Lewis said that as this was" the case he was of the opinion that before long tho entire surfaoe railroad system of the city would adopt the new rail. ANOTHER CASE OF SMALLPOX.

A Bill Has Been Prepared and Sent to Albany, Authorizing the City to Spend This Amount Conference This Morning Between the Mayor and the Special Committee of the Common Council. The mayor, the aldermen and the heads of the city departments will go to New York in carriages to represent Brooklyn on Grant day.

This will be the chief feature of Brooklyn's particiation in the demonstration. It is expected that Troop will also be there. The city authorities will ask the legislature to authorize the appropriation of not more than $1,500 for expenses. Theso facts appeared this morning during a conference held at the city hall between the mayor and the aldermanic special committee, which Included Hesfear Francisco, Guilfoyle, Loaycraft, Haubert and Lelch. Mayor Wur3ter said that under the agreement he had with Mayor Strong he had sent over the names of the aldermen and the head3 of departments, in order that the invitations might be sent over.

Tho city of New York invited the officials of Brooklyn to take part in the ceremonies of the day. "It is for you to say," added the mayor, "to some extent whether the Invitation shall be accepted officially or individually. It seems to me It would be well to accept it officially. We should go over in a body representing the City of Brooklyn. For that reason, and also from the fact that we have no legal right to take any of the funds the 3ity for expenses.

I have requested Corporation Counsel Burr to draw up a bill to defray the expenses of coaches. It has been suggested that we Invite Troop to accompany us." thought of that," Interrupted Alderman Francisco. "It is a representative Brooklyn organization," continued the mayor. "That Is all I have to say. If you have any suggestions to make I shall be glad to hear them." "What do you mean by a bill a bill for presentation to the legislature?" asked Aid.

Guilfoyle. "Yes, sir." replied the mayor. "When Is this bill going up?" queried Aid. Franclsoo. "I don't know but it has gone up," said the mayor.

"How much is to be appropriated?" inquired Francisco. "About $1,500, which may be $500 more than will be required. That will pay for carriages and for troop and everything else that may be required. The seats are already provided for. We have some of the best seats that are reserved." Aid.

Francisco inquired as to the desirability of having a stand for Brooklyn. "We talked that matter over," Bald the mayor, "and I thought we agreed that as New York had occupied all of the convenient space it would be well not to attempt to have any stand. I have heard that In addition to the seats that have been reserved for the officials of Brooklyn there would also be sent a number of tickets to some of the other stands. If that is the case there will be tickets to give away." Aid. Guilfoyle jocosely suggested that it might be well to call the Greater New York committee together to take charge of this whole matter.

"We are a part of New York," said he. "I hope we won't be next week," said Aid. Leich. "I hope so, too," replied Aid. Guilfoyle, "but we'll have the best of It.

Yoju will be sorry when you wake up." "You speak from the Democratic viewpoint," suggested Leich. "But there are a few of us who differ with you." After some more talk Mayor Wurster said he should see Mayor Strong again to day in reTerenee to tickets and other matters connected with the demonstration and Inform the committee as to the result to morrow. Tho bill referred to by the mayor has been sent to Albany by Mr. Burr. It provides that the money shall be taken from the reserve fund.

Accommodations or Visitors. Under tho direction of CSiief Conlln of New York there is being made up at police headquarters a list of reputable boarding houses in the city, together with the number of rooms in each, and prices of accommodation for the information of prospective visitors to the city on Grant day.

The Eagle library No. 7, being the issue for April, is "The Bible as Literature," being the lectures delivered In Plymouth church on Sunday nights, by the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott. Everyone knows the great stir which theso lectures created on their delivery.

No theological Incident, since the declaration of his belief In evolution by Henry Ward Beeeher has caused such widespread comment, and neither Mr. Beecher's statement of his belief nor any other recent statement of theological opinion, unless it may have perhaps been that of Dr. Briggs, has been so widely misunderstood and misrepresented. This pamphlet of thirty six pages contains stenographic reports of Dr. Abbott's sermons and it is possible to learn by it just what he did anil did not say.

There are sixteen of the lectures with the following titles: "Methods of Critical "The Bible and Our "The Oldest Book in the "Stories of Colonial "The Epoch From Samuel to "Two Hebrew "The Prophets' Vade "The Priests' Book of "Fiction In Hebrew Litera "Esther, Daniel and "The Book of "Tho Book of "Book of Ec.tleslastos" "Song of "Tho Psalms. and "The Hebrew Hymnal." This is the only complete collection of the lectures published and will meet an often expressed want. The price Is 5 cents. A CORRECTION.

Joseph E. Fnllor, 56 years old, of 871 Jefferson avonue, died suddenly of honrt disease lato yesterday afternoon in tho office of Charles II, Whitney's chair factory, at 24 Mor ton streot, whore ho was omployed as a Notable Dissent From Judge Gay nor'tf View of Incompetency IN THE CLASy OF MEN CALLED. Judges Osborne, Maddox, rschberg, Garretson, Hurd and Find No Fault With the Mental Caliber of Trial 'Juries Serving in Cases Before Them. Lawyers Also Do Not Concur in the Justice's Strictires. Tile attack of Justice Gaynor upon the quality of Jurors in the trial terms of the supreme court has aroused much interest in the where sentiment by no means sup portR all the complaints made against the nien who hold daily in their hands the welfare of their fellow citizens.

The other justices at the supreme court are not unanimous, in joining with Justice Gaynor in tho condemnation of the Jury lists. The views of soime of them are appended. Justice Oshome, in reply to the question, "Do you regard the present general panel of jurors satisfactory?" said, "Yes, as a whole. The one trying the case to day is wholly satisfactory, but in general the lists are. susceptible to improvement." Justice Garretson said: "I have found the jurors off good average intelligence and capacity, speaking as I do after an experi nce of four weeks at trial term in this county." Justice Hirschberg said: "I have found the Juries remarkably attentive and in each instance correct in their conclusions as measured by my own judgment." Judge Hurd of the county court said: "I have had excellent panels as a rule." Judge Aspinall said: "Since I have been upon the bench of the county court I have (ound the jurors to be all that could be desired.

I have nothing to complain of in respect to Jurors." Justice Maddox says: "I must say that most of the jurors attending are most careful, painstaking, attentive men and litigants can well leave their cases in their hands." These six judges have been in the same oourt and connected with the same class of jurors in whom Justice Gaynor finds so much intellectual inferiority. A number of prominent lawyers were also interviewed concerning the quality of the Jurle3 anl almost without exception the lawyers expressed themselves as being satisfied with the treatment their clients received at the hands of the men drawn. The work of securing these men to serve on Juries is' quite a complicated matter. Each year after May 1 the assessors are obliged, according to law, to submit to the commissioner of jurors a written list containing the names of all persons liable to serve as trial jurors, stating the occupation of the persons on the iisL Those liable to serve as Jurors are all males over the age of 21, possessing real property to the value of or personal property to the value of S250. The commissioner enters all these names on a great book and goes over the names, checking oli those.

ineligible to serve. As soon as the oominissloner has prepared his list he must publish an announcement of the fact In at least six daily papers, stating that the list of trial Jurors is ready for examination and cor rection. The commissioner then receives evidence of the disqualification of those who claim exemption and is obliged to check off on his list all those disqualified and keep a record of the reasons for. the crossing off of the name Each name then left is written on. a separate ballot and deposited by the commissioner In the Jury wheel which is sealed.

The Justices of the supreme court are notified whenever It is necessary to secure a panel and they attend the drawing of names, which takes place in the commissioner's office. The jury wheel is kept sealed except when a jury is being drawn, and in no possible way could a jury be unfairly secured. The names are drawn from the through, an opening just large enough a man's hand and arm. Generally about 2,200 Jurors are drawn each month. Each panel must be duplicated twice, one to ille with the court and one with the sheriff and one wKh the county clerk.

Then notices are made out and given to servers, who are distrib uted throughout the city. They must make a return to the court of the service rendered. Commissioner of Jurors Furey states that the law is carefully complied with in every case. Of the list of names given to the commissioner by the assessors there is a large percentage of ineligibles. The law excuses from serving all clergymen, physicians, attorneys, teachers, members of themilitla, eap tains, superintendents, conductors, engineers, telegraph operators, 'men holding city offices, firemen, all unintelligent persons, all weak or blind or those suffering from severe sickness and there are scores of special cases.

The manner of drawing grand Jurors is precisely the sameas the trial jurors excepting the selection, which is made by the board of aldermen from lists furnished by the commissioner. A grand Juror when once drawn Is exempt from jury service for a year. When once a man's name gets on the commissioner's list and the list is closed, it cannot be removed no matter what the excuse, but trial Justices are empowered to excuse a man temporarily.

Republicans Are the Most Bitter in Their Attacks Upon the Measure. Seven Millions Expected From the Proposed Duties on Raw Wool Cort landt St. Jo. n's Mission Mr. Nwlands Speaks For the Free Silverites.

Eagle Bnroau, I 608 Fourteenth Street, Washington, D. April Notwithstanding tho general belief among manufacturers and business men that the Dingley bill will be so radically amended in the senate as to be hardly recognizable the number of protestants against the house measure who come here for the purpose of Interviewing the members of the finance committee of the senate and placing their written protests or briefs in the hands of the committee seems to increase every day. It is evident that those who are dissatisfied with the bill do not propose to take any chances, but Intend from now on to make a vigorous light for a reduction in the rates proposed in the measure that has just passed the house. It Is also evident that the dissatisfaction with the bill is widespread and considerable and that it is not by any means confined to free trade Democrats. The fact of the matter Is that the most bitter and outspoken in their attacks against the bill are Republicans.

The tariff bill as it passed the house does not bear the mark of having been altered in any essential feature. The expert stat'. ticians of the treasury department smiled broadly when Air. Dingley announced that the new bill would bring in $112,000,000 additional revenue and between $50,000,000 and $70,000, 000 in the first year of its operations. The manner in which he reached this result was not disclosed at the time, but with the publication of his comparative statements in which the new bill is set against the old law his method becomes clear.

To assume that the imports of 1S97 or of 1898 will be same in kind and degree as they were in 1S96 is so artificial and mechanical a method of describing trade conditions as to discount from tho start any estimate of revenue to be derived from a new arrangement of duties, involving, as it does, an expensive change in classifications. No man, however expert in figures or however well trained in commercial matters, can predict the effect of an increased duty on the trad in any article. A uniform rate of duty will affect the similar product of different countries very differently. A rate of 11 cents a pound on ray wool is a light tax with the high grade wools of Australia, but a heavy tax for the low grade wools of Argentina or Uruguay. The ways and means committee assert than we will receive han seven millions revenue from tho duties on raw wool.

The fact is the goverMnecic has never received one half tSwt sum from raw. wool, even under the high dutjes and higher prices in the years 1890 10 1S93. If the same system of figuring has been applied to the estimates of revenue 'to be derived from other articles of import it would be safe "to reduce by nearly one half the $112, 000,000 additional revenue promised by the committee. What so many Republican business men now fear is that the 'bill of 1897, unless It la materially altered by the senate, will not add to the import trade and will be elmost certain to many millions of dollars of foreign commerce. Senator Allison stated to the Eagle correspondent.

In discussing the work of che finance committee of the sona'te, that in his judgmetn't It will be at least the 1st of July before the tariff bill passes the senate, and he said 'that In arriving at this conclusion he simply judged of the future by the past. He also Intimated that the senate committee would prepare its own measure, and thait this measure would be on more liberal lines flian dhose offered' by the house. It is noticeable that the flax manufacturers are albout the Important interests thait have been insistent for higher duties. Nearly all the other trade Industries express themselves in the communications that they have sent to the finance committee as satisfied with the existing rates, and only ask to be let alone. Cortlandt St.

John of Brooklyn, representing certain importers of opium and quinine, it is true, has been here for several days urging the committee to increase the Dingley races on these two drugs. He wants a duty of $2 a pound on opium Instead of $1, as in the Dingley bill, and a tax of 5 cents per ounce on quinine. But 'Che Interest that he represents can hardly be said to be a largo one. Frank S. Angell, ex assistant corporation counsel of Brooklyn, to day handed in a brief to the committee asking for a decrease in the Dingley rate upon fine Irish linen writing paper.

He claims that very little if any of this high grade paper is manufactured In this country, and that a reduction of the duty will not In any way Interfere with the paper ma.n ufacturers in this country, who, as a rule, manufacture a low grade of paper. Secretary Gage of the treasury department has been doing considerable quiet investigating in his bureau since March 4. As a practical business man he finds that a large number of olorks employed in thi3 branch of tho government service do not do much work to earn their salary. This opinion of his is not a surprise to those who are acquainted with the system now in vogue in most of the government departments. Senator Thomas C.

Piatt was notified last night by Archie Baxter of Chemung county that he would not accept the office of third assistant postmaster general. Baxter says he prefers to keep his present job in Albany than to take the office with the high sounding name in Washington. The senator is now looking about for some one to take Baxter's place. The silver men still continue firm In their avowed purpose not to resort to obstructive tactics against the tarlfT bill in the senate. Congressman Newlands of Nevada, by all odds the ablest of tho free silver advocates here, said to day: "I think I speak for the free silver men both In the senate and the hnuso when I say that we hope the tariff bill will bo passed at the earliest possible date.

Wc do not. believe that It will bring prosperity to tho country, but we want to see the experiment tried and the business men of the country given a chance to get all the benefit out of it that is possible." "The Democratic party," continued Mr. Newlands, "can generally be relied upon to do a foolish thing. At the present time it is possessed of the Idea that the issue against the trusts ought to be made the great issue of tho day. My Democratic friends just now can think and talk of nothing else except the terrible trusts.

I tell them to strike down the gold trust first and then the other trusts will all tumble down of themsejves. But they will not listen to me, but seem now to desire to make their fight against all sorts and conditions of trusts." In reply to a question as to whether there was any chance for a pooling bill being passed by the senate at this extra session Mr. New lands said that in his opinion there was no chance whatever for any sort of a pooling bill. Congressman Newlands said that he thought Speaker Reed was entirely right in his determination not to appoint any more of the house committees. "The appointment of the rest of the he said, "will mean more legislation, and mere legislation means more appropriations." Great pressure, however, is being brought upon the speaker to appoint the rest of the committees.

Petitions have been circulated and extensively signed, asking him to adopt this course, but the ruler of tho house turns a deaf ear to all these entreaties. "Tho extra session," he says, "was called for the purpose of enacting a tariff bill, and if I can prevent it the house shall not transact any other business while the tariff bill Is pending before it." Congressmen Bennett and Fischer called upon the President to day and urged him to appoint Major Poole deputy pension commissioner. The President gave them a courteous hearing, but would not give any intimation as to his intentions. A. B.

The revision places the studies in three courses for three years and two courses for the fourth year, the business course being finished in the third year.

All three courses, tho liberal, scientific and business, are exactly the same for the first and second year. The schedule of studies with the periods per week for eacn for the first year are as follows: Algebra, 4: Latin or German, English, hlsiory of Greece ajul Rome, 2: physio.iry ami phyHics, vo music, 1: drawing, Joinery, turning, forprlnp, sheet metal work, sewing, knife work ami oniajnen ca.1 iron work. 8.

In addition to the above tho following regulations have been adopted: Tho school day shall be divided into six periods. Pupils electing Latin and German may drop Latin and take up French during the fourth year. As far as the daily programme will allow, pupils may be permitted to specialize in tho last year or their course, preparatory to their proposed future. During the third and fourth years individual instruction in composition and declamation shall be given. Botany and zoology shall be arranged as to sequence, so that botany shall always be studied during the spring months.

A second language may be taken up during the last two years In tho liberal course for four periods per week, as an option. A report will also be made by the siudlos commlttao recommending the appointment of six teachers In physical culture to assist Miss Bancroft. Up to the present time she has been the only Instructor In this branch and has established the course in all the schools, but It Is Impossible for one teacher to properly cover the entire city. The probabilities are that tho six assistants will be selected from the high school. The Enntcr Eazle.
