Commissioner of City Works. Attest: R. M. Whiting, Secretary. a8 Ct DOGS IN THE CITY Declared to Bo a Nuisance and a Menace.

To 'the Editor of the BrooMyn Eagle: I read with Interest your editorial in a recent edition headed "Ugly Dogs to be Watched," and must respectfully beg to disagree with you aa to the commendabillty of having the dog'a I'ife spared. "A St. Bernard dog too big and ugly to have been at liberty," was sent out for an airing in charge of a helpless servant girl, and having become unruly attacks and Injures two persons who attempt to subdue him. He would probably have injured more had not he been conquered by the vigorous use of a club. Now, why should such an animal, which is unquestionably dangerous and at any time liable to repeat its dispCay of ill temper, be allowed to Uve among thousands of human beings who are practically unable to defend themselves when thus attacked, as was evidenced by the two victims of the brute in Why should 'those same thousands and many more have to live in daily fear that at any moment they may be attacked in some such manner by a brute which Is kept in close quarters for days and even weeks at a time, and then, when taken out In charge of some incompetent person, they are so overjoyed and excited at the chance of a little liberty that they lose control of themselves.

When interfered with they naturally resent the attempt on the part of any one. owner included, to again lead them back to captivity. You are right when you state that "there are too many animals in our cities." There are by far too many and there ought to be a stringent law against it. The city is no place for dogs, nor for any animals which have to be kept in close confinement nearly all of the week and then, as In many cases, taken out on the public streets on Sunday a day which belongs to the people and not to dogs and their thoughtless, selfish owners and allowed to dash here, there and everywhere, frightening women and children and making even the most fearless of men tremble lest the brutes should suddenly dart In their direction, while the inconsiderate owner walks along with an air of self content, apparently enjoying the discomfort of his fellow pedestrians and wondering that any one should be alarmed at the approach of his brute. I even now recall a case where such a party paraded an uptown thoroughfare In Brooklyn one Sunday morning something over a year ago, accompanied by a young cur of the setter type.

It was a muddy day and tho dog took apparent delight in running up to nearly everyone who came along and placing his dirty paws upon them. I shared the same fate as some others in this respect and alter driving the cur away Informed the owner of the propriety of keeping his dog by his side, when he became abusive In language which no gentleman could be guilty of using. Had It not been for the contempt In which I hold such persons and the rule that I consider it "better to humor a fool than to argue with him," I should have called him to account in a different way. Many owners of dogs seem to think that che payment of a small annual tax (as also many who evade it) entitles them and their togs to unlimited liberty, to the discomfort it citizens at large. I long to see the day when our city will have a law prohibiting the keeping of dogs and other nuisances within Its limits and thus do away with a pest which Is greater thau the playing of hand organs, street bands, ringing of church bells, etc.

I feel that the little satls taetifon to the persons bitten by dogs In having their lives spared In order to see if rabies develop is as nothing when compared with the fears and discomforts of the patient and long suffering public. A SUFFERER. New York, April 3. 1897. new york baptists.

According to tlhe New York State Baptist Annual for 1S97 there are in the state 48 associations, 926 churahes, 787 pastors and supplies, 144,808 members. During the year there were 6,933 baptisms. The value of church property is $14,339,584. On this property the dobts amount to $1,097,849. The churches spent for the improvement of their property for current expenses, benevolent contributions amounted to $331, 714.

Durfag the year Uhere were 130 missionaries employed, vho visited and served 567 churches. The convention expended in general wark $25,193, and in church build lug work $26,160. Three new church buildings were dedicated and four new churches recognized. Thirty three ministers were ordained and 29 died. Tho number of Sunday schools Is 903, with 126,929 pupils; their contributions were $97,731, and from these achoola Chore were baptized 3,858.

A COINCIDENCE. "The man who brought this in," remarked the editor's assistant, as he unrolled half a yard of manuscript, "told mo confidentially that he needed the money for It." "Yes," waB the melancholy answer, "It's a Btrange fact that the longest poems seem almost invariably to be written by the shortest poets," Washington Star. HIGH THEATER How Colonel WilUam E. Blnn Accounts for Them. To the the Brooklyn Eagle: I read with a great deal of interest your editorial in the Eagle of March 31, entitled "Art in Vaudeville," and with your permission I should like to say a few words in answer thereto.

I am more than usually qualified to do so by reason of the fact that for maDjr years I managed leading and first class theaters devoted' to variety and vaudeville entertainments, and for many years more, and at the present time, leading theaters where only the higher class legitimate attractions are offered. So I may say with pride, and without fear of being accused of egotism, that thero are few, if any, managers in America who have had prebisely my experience, and who are, therefore, so well fitted to express aa opinion as to the relations between the two distinct classes of theatrical amusement. And they are separate and distinct, each covering their fields thoroughly and legitimately. It Is with pleasure I. note the tendency of vaudeville managers to elevate their performances and to provide entertainment which justifies their catering to higher class audiences, which they have been steadfastly doing for some years past.

This is due to their appreciation of the fact that the growing intelll gence of a public, educated by the dramatic: theaters, refuses to be amused or Interested by anything less than legitimate actors in legitimate sketches. With the advent of actors the variety stage has been advanced many Bteps nearer to the ideal of amusement management, which is to provide intelligent amusement for Intelligent people. But In thus recognizing the change for the better In the vaudeville houses at prices ranging from 75 cents down, it should not be found necessary to attack the higher rates of the regular houses, whoBe prices in some portions of tho house only, are, greater. Even with tho rather high salaries paid for special legitimate acts the vaudeville manager has a distinct advantage. Where Mr.

Barrymore, Robert Hilliard, Frederick Paulding and others of like standing receive a large compensation It must be remembered that their act takes from thirty to thirty five minutes to perform, which time would not be consumed by les3 than three single or double teams of variety performers whose acts average from twelve to fifteen minutes each. So it will be seen that each of these legitimate stars supply the place of about three variety acts which would cost more to secure. In other words, if only legitimate actors and their one act sketches were offered four of them would be enough; for an entire performance and they would, therefore, supply the place of the many variety actors it would otherwise take to fill the bill. Then, again, matinees are given every day and opportunity is thus provided to double the receipts, which, I am glad to say, for my brother managers, is often the fact. Now, in regard to the maintaining of prices for the legitimate houses like the Montauk, the Columbia and others, which you declare "have advanced 300 per cent, since the war and stay at that figure." Yow are slightly In error as to the percentage of advance, which is not nearly 300 per cent.

In this respect I should like to remind you that you support your argument by declaring that people cannot afford $1.50 and can afford $1, remembering that all conditions of the pocket ar met by a scale of prices made to suit everybody. You must be aware that the expenses to be borne by managers of dramatic houses have largely advanced. You assert that tho prices of food, clothing, books, have been cut, but you do not say anything about the enhancement of real estate value and the consequent raise in rentals. Property on Fulton street has trebled, yes, quadrupled in value since the war. I once paid $12,000: a year rent for the Park theater.

The last season I occupied it my rent was $21,000 for that year. And with this advance came other expenses, Actors who a few years ago considered themselves well paid at from $60 to $100 a week now get from $125 to $250. The combination system, by which short engagements are played and large and heavy companies are moved long distances, entail added expense on the traveling manager. A revolution In tho methods of management, In the manner of presenting plays, in advertising, both In tho press and by means of bills, adds still further to tho expense. Where fifteen or twenty stands of paper were once sufficient the enormous growth of our city necessitates the putting out of sixty.

This aiper has be furnished to me by the manager, yet it costs ma quite as much to post on the walls as it does him to buy it. Some of these organizations pay as much as $60 to $200 a week for ttoe transportation of baggage and scenery. Now it stands to reason that tbey must be compensated or they not remain In business. Therefore I have to pay tinem larger percentages until I find that now, with all this additional coat, It is as difficult to make as much, on a much larger amount taken ait the box office, as I did on the old system, where my receipts were considerably less on an average. I uniformly present good attractions and I have sometimes lost money on an engagement which drew $5,000 gross receipts on fiie week.

This would have been unlikely In those other tlmeB io which I refer. In truth, I sho uld be glad to T)e assured of even 8 per cent, profit on the gross receipts, which Is modest as compared to profits made by commission merchants and brokers, who make from 5 co 8 per cent, handling the capital of other men. And, further, have not your own and other newspapers advanced tbt rates for advertising, and rightly, too? Yoi could not produce and maintain such a Journal as the EagOe Is to day for the same expense it cost you years ago. Consequently your rates are 150 per cent, higher, and consequently, also, I pay you 150 per ceat. mors.

Now I must take Issue with you as to your idea of the prices charged at first class houses. While the receipts may be larger la the gross the expenses are also much larger and the profits smaller or, at the best, no higher than they were years ago, when tho length of a season could be safely estimated' to comprise from forty five to forty seven weeks, where now it hardly exceeds thirty five weeks, leaving about seventeen weeks, when rant has to be paid while the theater ds closed and is earning nothing. Sometimes, to offset this In a measure, managers will arrange a short supplemental Beason of light opera, commencing at the end of the regular season. He Is enabled to do this at popular prices because some part of his winter's earnings have been laid aside to pay tfce summer rent, and that rent being thus partly met his expenses are not quite so large. He does not expect to make any profit, but is well satisfied If ho has succeeded In reducing his yearly expenses by a few hundred dollars and at the same time had kept the attaches of the theater that much longer in employment.

This has been done by the best theaters in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and other cities, and I intend to cry the experiment at the Montauk at the close at the regular season this year. In brlnglns my screed to a close, with a hope that I have not taken up too much of your space, I wish to again say that I am pleased at the condition of the vaudeville houses, who are paying liberal salaries to some of our best actors to appear upon their stages. The result cannot but be satisfactory to everyone concerned, from the actor who Is thus benefited by his salary to the manager, who, in the augmented receipts, finds his remuneration for his business foresight; to the public, ho is a gainer in the better and higher art it enjoys; to the managers of the regular dramatic houses, who find their profit in the education of the theatergoers, who are better enabled to appreciate the attractions offered at their houses. Taken from any point of view this recent Innovation In the line of amusements I was once more directly Interested In than now Is gratifying and to bo commended. WILLIAM E.

This matter is of grave Importance to the citizens of this city, especially in neighborhoods where there have been Infectious diseases, and this Is the season of the year commonly known as housecloaning time, when carpets are being beaten. I have taken the liberty of calling your attention to tho above owing to the immense circulation of the Eagle, which will carry the news Into a large number of premises where this law Is either willfully violated or the people are ignorant of the same. I am positive that If you would take up this matter the public would be greatly benefited. Carpets oontaln more germs of disease thanallotherfabrlos in the household. As aforesaid, there is a law prohibiting the beating of carpets In the city limits, so why Bhould we be compelled to keep our windows closed or have dirt and germs carried Into clean and healthy apartments.

GILL, Referee. Howard C. Conrndy, Plaintiff's Attorney, 204 Montat'ut utretst, Brooklyn. alO Sv8feW Vanderveer Park Homes may bo bought for a surprisingly small amount of money, when you consider the superiorities of the Park. Justthink of being able to buy a lot on which you can build a home almost in thd heart of Brooklyn at pay ment of 810 a month! Everything is improved tu Vanderveer Park.

Streets are graded, water and gas mains aro laid, shade trees are planted everything is city with suburban surroundings. You oan reach Vanderveer Fark from the New York City Hall in 5 minutes; from the furthest downtown point of Brooklyn In 25 minutes. Go and see Vanderveer Park yourself. That is the best way to Judge.
