Taxes ore too high in Brooklyn already. They should be made lower, and not be made higher. The objects of public charity should be the worthy poor, the unfortunate indigent, the helpless aged, and those who are afflicted with the blight of darkened reason. They should not be those whom want of capacity has reduced to beggary and those whom want of character has forced on blackmailing, as desperate expedients, in so called "journalism." The party that takes the responsibility of imposing such an iniquity and such a burden as this bill contemplates on an independent and already overtaxed community will have an account to render to tho people which will not be of help to it, in the day of reckoning, at the polls.

The Hell Ringers oS tlio Eiccise Board. A bell, according to Webster, is "a hollow metallic vessel which gives forth a clear, musical, ringing sound on being struck." Police Commissioner Bell is not a hollow metallic vessel by any means, but, as his two associates in the Excise Board can testify, he gives forth when struck a sound that is unmistakably clear and ringing, if not musical. He possesses the sovereign virtue of the vessel defined by Webster without its The Eaolb of yesterday related the circumstances which proved so excellent a test of his resonance. Mr. Bell felt the action of the Board on the application of F.

W. Pfaeuder for a license to open a saloon at 4.G0 Bedford avenue as a direct blow. The clangor with which he responded is still agitating the tympana of Messrs. Schliemann and Cunningham, and must have fully satisfied them that the Police Commissioner is a Bell of the genuine metal. The reasons which he assigns in his letter for considering such action invalid are reasons which would have unquestionably occurred to the Commissioners had they proceeded with greater care and deliberation.

The fact that the applicant is not a resident of this city and the further fact that the license was granted at a meeting of which Mr. Bell had received no notice will, we think, convince the Commissioners on reflection that they were the victims of too great a degree of "previousness" and induce them cheerfully to concur in Mr. Bell's opinion of the invalidity of their action. It may bo pleaded in their behalf that they were captivated by the eloquence of ex Assemblyman Conway. His description of the moral character and lustrous virtues of Pfaendcr is said to have been enough to excite the emotion of a brazen image.

Under the spell of his oratory they forgot to exercise their habitual caution, and it required such a summons as they received from the Police Commissioner to dissipate their enchantment. Another important feature of the case is the protest made by the Rev. Dr. Gunnison and numerous residents of the neighborhood agaiust the issuing of the license. They don't want a liquor saloon so near All Soul's Church.

The two institutions have nothing in common. Their proximity would be offensive to a proper sense of the fitness of things.

he is ready to 'subscribe to the theory that there should be no appointments except for merit and no removals except for cause. But the significance of the incident consists in the fact that his hearers gave to his words the broader interpretation and indicated by their applause their enthusiastic approval of the principle of Civil Service Ee form. Subsequent reflection may have convinced them that they erred in accepting Mr. Tracy as a complete convert, but they have reasonable grounds for hope that he will ultimately become one. In their eyes he occupies the attitude of a man who stands trembling on the brink and only needs a littlencouragement to launch away.

Practical knowledge of the advantages of protecting the navy yards from the invasion of spoilsmen will enable him to appreciate the importance of a wider application of the rule, and from thafcpoinfc.it will be easy for him to take tho successive steps that lead up to that shining temple of reform, where the good and great pioneers of progress are already enjoying an almost saintly intercourse. Will Brooklyn get it This was the question asked a year ago and it is repeatod now as the base ball season of 1889 is about to open. The managers of tho local club are confident they will get the pennant this time but they were twelvo months since. So that many old adagos will apply themselves such as tho many a slip 'twixt the bat and tho ball and the convincing proof of the puddingwhile tho public patiently wait and crowd the grounds at fifty cents a piece. No doubt tho public convenience will be greatly promoted by tho now connection between the Kings County and the Bridge railroad which opens to day.

Probably many persons heretofore have been constrained to pass down to the horse ears rather than search for the Fulton street elevated road. The latest will prove one of the most useful pieces of patchwork on the suspension approach. Tho celebration of St. Patrick's day in Brooklyn was more general and impressive than it has been for years aud with good reason, too, for never has the Home. Rule cause been so deeply rooted in public sentiment and never have its prospects been so bright.

The dinner of the. St. Patrick Society in the Academy Assembly Booms was fitting supplement to the parades of the day. A feature of the celebration iu New York was ex President Cleveland's address before the Friendly Sons on Saturday night. The reception which Mr.

Cleveland received on that occasion strengthens the belief that he has a hold on the hearts of the public which his critics cannot eat away. The purchase of tho property known as Dieter's Hotel, with a view to transform it into a large office building, is further proof of the confidence of business' men in the business future of Brooklyn. Former discoveries, or alleged discoveries, of precious metals are recalled by a Chicago dispatch, which says that tho Santa Clara gold "finds" are fraudulent, and that one nugget was exhibited three or four times, each time as a separate and alluring sample. Fortunately, not much injury will bo done by tho mistake, if it is a mistake. Men tire not enticed to California so easily as they were many years ago.

Then they went hardly, with slow wagon trains. Now they go luxuriously in swift vestibule cars. Then they went to got gold. Now they go to get rid of it. PERSONAL MENTION.

The formation of a national spit trust, with a capital of SW is said to be assured. Hope of forming another Panama "Canal Company has not yet been entirely abandoned. There is no change in tho situation at Fall Hivuv, the tstvikcvn being as determined as over not to give in. Ernest Hull, of Lyme, while out rowing the other day saw a bans floating ou the waves, seemingly benumbed with cold. He thrust an oar into its gills and towed it ashore.

A Charleston dispatch says: "Typographical Union No. 411 this afternoon declared war against two Charleston newspapers tho Sun and World. The union issued a circular in the nature of a bovcott which, after stating that the union printers" had been locked out of both offices without warning, and that their places had been filled with scabs, requested friends of union labor to Btand by them in their fight.

Springfield itevulilican. It is not quite certain just what tho Inaugural means about the surplus matter, but tho apparent construction is that the way to overoomo excessive rcvenuo is to meet it with corresponding expenditures. That is the natural drift of the mind of tho ltopublican statesman. There aro eloments of popularity iu it.

Polk and His Slixcd Pickles at the Brooklyn. A Good Variety Troupe at Hyde Beh man's "Arizona Joe" Music. The opora written by Richard Stahl to words furnished by himself aud Scott Marblo, and entitled "Said Pasha." had a hearing by a largo audience last night in the Lee Avenue Theater. As comic operas go this holds its own fairly well, but comic operas are so rare that many people have gone through life without seeing one. Gilbert Sullivan's oporas are satirical, but not comic; German light operas areusnally too tedious to be oven amusing; Richard Wagner's one comic opera never brings a smile to anybody's face, while the French bouffes that formerly had so prosperous a voguo this country wore occasionally funny, it is true, but were needlessly coarse.

Mr. Stahl has taken a love story of no great cleverness of construction, in whiflk Said Pasha is a personage of secondary consequence, and this ho has enlivened with brisk music, while a couple of comedians mako strenuous efforts to bring a laugh from the audience. American tight opora as exemplified in "The Little Tycoon" and "Said Pasha" is rathor a callow affair, and it calls for encouragemont from patriotic rather than artistic motives. Tho impression left by this latest work is that it is dramatically inefficient and that its music lacks color and character. Its songs and choruses are not reminiscent to any great dogree, but neither have they much originality.

One quality that thoy all possess is spirit fortunately for the success of tho opora and the overture and some of the choruses have a snap, a Bwing, a champagny bubbling that is enjoyable. Much is to bo forgivon to any form of art that will keep its devotees from going to sleop. Mr. Stahl has rofrained, wisely, from long dialogues and protracted solos, and his tendency has been to over ornament rather than to restrain and Himplify. Instances might bo cited, Hassan's love song in tho first act, for example, where there is a letting down in tho impetuosity, for that song begins weakly and threatens monotony, but it is skillfully heightened in interest as it proceeds and in no case does the music, light as it is, become stupid.

The prime fault of tho work is tho libretto; it iswordy.it lacks wit, it is deficient in invention and the actors have to supply as well as they can by pantomime what tho author has failed to give thorn. Edwin Stevons, as a tramp Englishman, and Stanley Folch as his companion who has to affect idiocy, carry the play on their shoulders and prove themselves comedians of merit, while the singing is dono mainly by a largo and well drilled chorus; by Francis Gaillard iu the titlo part; Charles Turner, a man who rcsembleB Buffalo Bill, as a Mexican; Stuart Harold as a Turkish lover; Joseph Greonsfelder as an Indian rajah a cosmopolitan assemblage and by Helen Din geon as the Pasha's daughter; by Carrio Godfrey, who is much givou to gestures, as the rajah's daughter, and by Alice Gaillard as an overripe Indian maiden who is numerously and frequently engaged to bo married. Miss Dingeon may bo remembered as ono of Salsbury's Troubadours when that bright little troupe first appeared here and, with the Yokes family, began its sad work of popularizing farce comedy. Sho is a well schooled and agreeable singer and her voico is heard to advantage both in solo and concerted pieces. The quintet, "Info is Only Sunshine When Lovo is Young and Fair," had a triple encore.

Adelaide Mullen rendered several ballads with tenderness and grace; Annie Layton, on tho encore, gave tho "Star Spangled Banner," with breadth, and some genre bits with archness, while Henry Beaumont delved into English opera with effect if not delicacy.

Zil'P'S (USIN'0. Minnie Scimit has won tho gratitudo and admiration of one element in her audionco by singing P. S. Gilmoro'B "Ireland to England," and tho gratitudo is expressed with a vohomonoo that makes things jingle Kii'chnei''s orchestra fur streets, the Commissioner of City Works was. inquired of as to how much had been expended and how much remained of the $1,000,000 of bonds for storm sewers, and the Board adjourned to see the rest of the Bond Issues and the County Farm.

Wo observe that there 1ms been some objection to the County Farm bill, introduced in the Legislature by Mi'. Worth, on the ground that it leaves room for unnecessary expenditure. The bill provides that the County Treasurer, with the consent of the Board of Supervisors, shall issue bonds at per cent, for completing tho work on the farm; that the issue shall be limited to 1,000,000 per year, unless the Mayor and County Tron iirer consent to a larger amount, and that, if necessary, the total sum of 5,000,000 may be used. In the opinion of the Eagle this provision is fair w.il reasonable, as we think will be agreed by all who take the trouble to examine into the facts. To tho policy of making St.

Johnland the homo of its poor and insane the county is irrevocably committed, and it desires that policy carried into effect with as little delay as circumstances will permit. According to expert calculation, it will take at least four and a half years to complete the transfer, which is without doubt one of the largest undertakings in which tho county has engaged. Not only have the sick and insane to be properly housed, but the land has to be graded and nut under cultivation a channel has to be opened so as to allow of transportation by water details of sewerage have to be attended to the county released from its obligations to the railroad company; and an infinite variety of necessary improvements introduced. As matters are now, there is no restriction in the amount of expense, and if it be seen fit to grant a bond issue of $1,000, 000 at one fell swoop there is nothing to prevent it. Singular as it may seem this important, consideration was overlooked in the bill which passed the Legislature last year and which sought in no way to limit tho commission created by it in the matter of expense.

The Worth bill, on the contrary, leaves no such loophole. It explicitly provides that the expenditure shall not exceed 1,000,000 in any one year during tho continuance of the Commission, unless the Mayor and County Treasurer shall agree to a larger sum, and moreover the assent of the County Treasurer is requisite to any bond issue whatever which the Supervisors may authorize. Another point which should bo clearly borne in mind is suggested by Supervisor at Large Quiiitard in a recent interview with our esteemed neighbor the Times. He says Ah to the total out it must be remembered that the ultimate purpose is to utilize tlio pauper labor on the farm, no as to make it largely aclf supporting, ami to sell the county property at Flatbush when vacated and apply tho proceeds under tho provisions of the law of 1 884 to the redemption of the county farm bonds, which, though having forty years to run, arc redeemable within ten years, at the option of the county. No doubt these bonds, even with this short redemption clause can be sold at and as tho county property at Flatbnsh will have immensely increased in value within live years, and probably will then be within the city limits, I should say that in this manner probably one half of the total exiicnco of tho farm will thus be reimbursed to the county treasury.

Of course very much will depend on the character of the men who are chosen. By the provisions of the bill the commission will consist of the Supervisor at Large and three associates whom he is empowered to select, at least two of whom shall be members of the party to which the minority of the Board of Supervisors belong at the time of the passage of the act. Now, what has Mr. Quintard to say as to his intentions in making the selections It is well that his words should go to the record and that they should be remembered "If the appointing power is conferred on me," he says. "I shall name only men in whom the public has confidence, who will be under bonds for the honest discharge of duty, aud who will take a pride in completing the great work intrusted to them within the time allowed, and with due attention to sound business principles and to economy in the spending of money and the use of the credit of the country." This is certainly sufficiently explicit, and from all that is known of Mr.

Quintard, there is every reason to believe that he will keep his word. Measurably, too, the enterprise is a novel one and the persons appointed must certainly realize that their conduct will be very closely scrutinized by the public. Nor should it be forgotten that iu proportion to the magnitude of the work an expenditure of even the largest amount specified cannot be far out of the way. Kings County has four thousand poor and insane to provide for. New York has about as many, and yet the cost of.

the plant of tlie sister city was not ten nor fifteen, but no less than twenty five millions of dollars. Indeed, so far as we can see, the taxpayer will have every reason to congratulate himself if, at an expenditure of 000. all the work at St. Johnland be completed within the period contemplated. Mr.

Worth's bill, as we regard it, is a compromise measure designed in the interest of the public and worthy of the support of honest men of all parties. It does away with the confusion that has thus far characterized tins administration of affairs at St. Johnland, and by concentrating responsibility insures greater solicitude for the public interest. What is to be feared is that an attempt will be made to amend it by inserting the names of the persons who are to act as the commissioners. No better method of inviting it veto could be devised.

The Governor, as is well known, is unalterably opposed to all measures containing the names of persons who are to net as public functionaries, and unless the Republican party in the Legislature desires to assume the responsibility for the defeat of the St. Johnland bill it will resist all attempts to change it in any form. The bill is a good one, even though Mr. Worth did introduce it, and it ought to Pll Mr. Tracy's PU djre.

The most significant incident of the dinner given in honor of Secretary Tracy by the Hamilton Club on Saturday night, was the enthusiasm aroused by the following passage in his speech As to myself in the administration of tho Navy, I shall indulge in no rash promises as to what I hope to accomplish. Of course, you are all familiar with my inexperience in the field upon which I am about to enter. I alluded to that at tho time tlie uflU was tendered to mo, and I remember well the encouragement the President gave me on that occasion. He said: "If I thought you had conceived a fancy that yon could dun a ship, or sail one. I don't think I should appoint you, for I fear tliat you would bo but an obstacle and a stumbling block in the way of those officers upon whom wo must necessarily rely for the pc rfoim.inuo of that duty." But there is one thing I can say, and I propose to nay it here and now upon the very of my entering upon the duties of my office.

I kno how thoroughly intrenched is politics in tho navy yards of the country, all of which now pass under my control as Secretary of tlio Navy, but I propose to say, and I propose to adhere to my promise, that the navy yards of this country during my administration shall not bo asylums for the inellicient, the incompetent and tho worthless mechanics. The happy aunecdote by which he introduced the thought that was at the moment uppermost in his mind gave his hearers no intimation of the conclusion to which it led, so that when he broke forth with the declaration that while ho remained at tlie head of the department the navy yards of the country should not be asylums for inefficient, incompetent and worthless mechanics, the entire company forgot everything but their impulse to applaud the speaker and congratulate the mechanics. We cannot recall another instance of an unfamiliar traveler so bravely skirting the borderland of Mngwumpia and at the same time so skillfully avoiding the charge of being a trespasser. Doubtless tho cheers which tlie declaration evoked were begotten of the impression that Mr. Tracy had not only approached tho frontier and confessed his pleasure at the prospect, but that he had actually crossed it and planted his banner on tlie further side.

Under less convivial circumstances, and after a calmer examination than the festive mind is capable of making, the Secretary's words do not convey more than a promise to respect the principle of Civil Service reform in its lower evolutionary stages. Plainly he can sec no reason why the poor mechanic who has faithfully performed the duties assigned him should be cast upon the cold 'charity of the world because there has been a change of Administration at Washington, but he does not say that he is prepared to accept all the logical consequences of this attitude or that Filled a Dead Miser's Discarded Hats.

Griffith, who died recently at Huntington, waB ono of tho most eccentric characters in Northern Indiana. He lived almost, entirely alone and had a great aversion to women. After his death the undertaker who took charge of tho remains found in Griffith's trousers pocket tho sum of $4,7 0 0 in currency. In various places about tho store woro found hats full of silver and gold, all covered with dust, having apparently been undisturbed for yeara; promissory notes, exocutod by leading business mon, running far up into tho thousands, were found among tho effects of this singular man. Griffith nover refused an accommodatiou to any one whom ho deemed worthy and responsible.

His entire property amounts to over $50,000, and it is not thought ho left a will. For a week be foro his death ho was almost totally blind, but despite his infirmity he insisted on remaining alone and taking care of himself, refusing bluntly all offers of aid from his friends and relatives. William Griffith, of Huntington, a brother of the dead man, will inherit tho property. TO SPEND THEIR OWN MONEY. The Latest Thine tlio Brooklyn Park Board Wants.

night. It related to one of two Struggling local sheets. The two are the joint promoters of the now Corpo ration Advertising raid on the public treasury. The raid is in the form of a bill now before the Legislature. To that bill the Eagle has already paid its respects.

The report referred to was to the effect that the sheet in question had undergone the poiynan processes of foreclosure veneered under the form of a "'renewal" of notes. The experience has been far from novel to it. Indeed, it has been so frequent as to eease to be news, but at this time it has an enlightening quality about it. The sum there was an inability to meet is said to have been only $5,000, but. it represented more than offices furniture and presses are worth, for they are mortgaged to the top, and there were no other available assets, us circulation no longer exists and advertisements are not obtained, although the literal offer is to iusert them free.

Thus, it is declared, that by renewing promissory long credulous but no longer patient merchants have acquired possession of the entire 'plant," and nre desirous of engaging microscopists to look with their finest instruments for "assets." This situation of distress would ordinarily bo one to appeal to considerate minds. It docs not so appeal in this instance for several reasons. The "notes" apparently represent what it is not undescriptive to call confidence games by which neither politicians nor merchants feel like being any further fooled. The exigencies which created the distress that impelled this recourse to sharp practice are themselves the result of what an Irish friend has called a mingled absence of capacity and character." The distress Ins itself been mud. the occasion for the singular proposition that, somehow or other, the City Treasury "owes a living" to an enterprise which the public refuses to support and which neither politicians riiir business men will longer permit to load them up with worthless "stock" and "bonds" dear by the pound avoirdupois.

The bill now before the Legislature takes the ground that when a newspaper can not create a business for itself; when, lacking business, it can not beg a living for itself, and when, failing both on the lines of business and of beggary, it can not blackmail a living "for itself, the Legislature of the State of New York ought to direct the Common Council of the City of Brooklyn to vote to it "a living" out of the taxes of the city. The idea is that, though citizens will not buy the paper on the streets, will not let it be served at their houses, will not permit their advertisements to appear in it, even for nothing, nevertheless such citizens should be made pay for the continuance of such sheets in (heir tux bills. Thai is tin' precise meaning of the measure now in the Legislature. A journal is served with notice of foreclosure on a 'SYednesday. The next Friday a hill for the relief of itself and of an equally sull'ering accomplice is introduced into the Legislature.

The Kaoi.e's discussion of the proposition arrests the intended progress of it. On Monday, deferred process of foreclosure is slightly varied. Tuesday and thereafter the very fact of exigency is exhibited by it, like his sores by a beggar, to uphold the notion that, inasmuch as the people will not maintain it and the politicians will no longer keep it going, the taxpayers must be forced to support it, as they do the paupers and lunatics, out of the taxes. The concerns are absolutely so liird up, it that they cannot, execute even a forced sale of themselves, even counting a prospective interest in a legislative' steal bill as the only asset to be taken into consideration. The Republican party is in the control of the Legislature.

The Democratic: party is in control of the State Government. An attempt is made to command the favor of both of the parties in the Legislature for this bill by rendering it equally beneficial to all the newspapers in Brooklyn. The design is to tnlcnce the local press by bribing it. The effect of that design on the Eaoi.k has been Been. The contemptuous refusal of the Brooklyn Times to favor the measure is creditable to that newspaper.

It desires it "to be distinctly understood that the Tillies has no hand in originating a bill of that kind." Thus it remits the measure to the two bankrupt concerns which have fathered and forwarded it. The worst jobs in polities or in law making are those by which it is sought to hitch up the politicians of both parties in their favor. When that is done, it only remains to silence or to subsidize the entire press of a community, to make the deception and the plunder of the entire people complete. Just, however, as these jobs are the worst, of jobs, when these conditions arc secured, so arc they the most dangerous jobs for the parties to them, when the light is turned m. In this case, the light has been turned on this job by the K.w;K.

It will be the act of the Kepublicau party, if this bill passes the Legislature, for that parly controls that body and the record of that body will be the record of that party in the State and in Brooklyn. At the present ti, (.., tie; wi er leaders of tile publican party arc hopefully seeking to commend it to (he favor of the taxpayers of Brooklyn, with a view to the coming election. The Democratic gang is doing its worst to disgust the taxpayers, at a time the llepub lii.an leaders are seeking to benefit by the crimes and blunder of that gang. This corporation advertising steal bill, if it ever passed, would indicate a coliusjon for business purposes between the Republican leaders and the so called Demo ratic gang. which would render "an appeal to taxpayers" especially interesting', next Fall, as a study in farcical effects.

Mr. Franklin Woodruff's Legislative Committee and Mr. John Gibb's select tea party, if they have the welfare of the local Republican pally at heart, will do well to see that party action is not identified with a measure to make the taxpayers support two bankrupt sheets which have failed on "the deadly parallels" of beggary and of blackmail. Just how the proposed bill would do that has been shown bi fore, but. may a well be shown ngaiu.

The bill proposes to pay for corporation advertising such "rates" as may be fixed by the Common Council. Those "rates" would be "fixed" by the men who "fix" the Common Council. The "rates" would be "fixed" at a figure which would represent the difference between the present bankruptcy of the two interested papers ami the sum required to maintain them. That sum would have to come out of the taxes of the people. The bankrupt coiieeiu, each already receive $15,000 a year.

That is $31)0 a week. They estimate that lO.000 a year will be required by each to to keep out the Sheriff. The understood plan is to raise, their pay from 815,000 a year to 10,000 a year each; from rJ.UU a week to a week each, or computing the two enterprises as one, which they virtually are, the joint interest would draw 80,000 a year, instead of o0, 000, as now, and a week instead of 600 as now. There are several objections to this. The objections are of importance to the people of Brooklyn, who will make them of importance to the leaders of the Republican piirty.

It is no part of the business of the Legislature to require a Common Council to compel the people to support by taxes sheets which cannot live by business, by beggary, or by blackmail. Not only is the "margin" too large, considered as a tax, but it is also too' small considered as a bounty, because the two sheets would soon have to come on the oity for "more."

Tho annual mooting of tho Florence Nightingale Society of tho Nostraud Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church was held last evening. Mrs. F. V. Tabcr presided.

Tho oflicors who served last year woro re elected, as follows: Mrs. F.W. Tabor, president; Mrs. II. B.

Hubbell, vice president; Mrs. J. F. Gorow, secretary, and Mrs. J.

11. Mac kinnon. treasurer. Mrs. Gcrow presented the report of tho secretary for tho year, from which it appeared that the society was formed one year ago, when upon invitation of Dr.

1,. S. Pilcher three ladioB of tho church, Mrs.W. DAVines, Mrs.W. P.

Gill and MrH. J. F. Gcrow, met at his residence and conferred with tho view of organizing the society in connection with the Methodist Ilospitalof this city, anil that as the result a meeting was held in the church parlor, Ilov. Mr.

Prince, pastor, presiding, when ltev. Dr. Mains made an address fully sotting forth tho object of tho meeting. At tho next meeting, April 10, twenty live ladies were present and 7 had boon subscribed. A crazy tea was held May 17, 1888, at which was realized.

At the regular meeting subsequently held it was decided to pay $20 per month for tho Training School tor Nurses and to support one or more beds in tho hospital. Tho funds increased and they were enabled to support one adult bed for four months in the Summer and one child's bod for the year at a cost of $250. A committee of three was appointed to visit tho hospital once a month, distributing delicacies, fruits, ilowers, etc. A fair held in November realized over si, 000 and a parlor fair given by Mrs. Ltghthody's children resulted in 442.50.

In January of this year it was decided to endow one bed in tho hospital and $1,000 was paid for that purpose. The total result of this first year's work, which has boon ex ceedinely encouraging, is as follows: Payment for ono bed (oudowment). $1,000 250 lynmi lieu lurniiu icui Adult bed for tour 120 Support of nursos. 240 Total .....81,010 The report was received with many expressions of delight and ordered on tho record. Tho mooting shortly after adjourned.

THE NEW GERMAN HOSPITAL. A Movement to Secure fuitetl Action by fjocal tJcrniaii Societies. Tho delegates of tho various societies representing the Plattdeutsche Yolkslcst and Hospital Verein of Brooklyn, hold a regular meeting on Sunday afternoon at Lilienthal's Music Hall, 51 Ewen street. President Charles Heinbockel was in the chair. Tho mooting was largely attended.

Tho financial result of the ball recently held at tho ltink in Clermont avenue for the benefit of the Hospital fund had been generally expected to reach $2,5 00, though tho actual result betrayed the hope of many, who thus far havo earnestly worked to further the noble projecr. Mr. Henry Wulpern, the secretary of the Ball Committee, reported that the actual receipts would scarcely amount to moro than $1,000. Tho announcement created some consternation among the delegates, when Financial Secretary Louis Schulenbtirg moved to separato hereafter the Plattdeutsche Volksfest Verein from the Hospital Association and reorganize tho latter under the aid, assistance and protection of not only tho North German, but of all the German societies existing in the City of Brooklyn. Tho motion caused a quite lengthy and lively debate.

Mr. Schulcnburg, in his remarks in support of the motion, based it on the fact that it would bo much better to havo the entire number of the German societies (there aro over five hundred different organizations in this city) take hold of tho project and to solicit tho aid of not only the North Germans, but of the entire German population of Brooklyn to carry the project to a moro speedy and definite success. The motion was adopted and tho Chair appointed the following delegates a committee: Messrs. John II. Doschor, J.

J. C. Gatje, J. Kooster, L. richulonburg, A.

Jacobson, John H. Diercks, L. Antonius, F. Ell mcrs, J. Karutz and H.

Kobbe. MR. HANNAH EXPLAINS. Sle S3a Not Been III, and Is Ileady for Active Work. To tlie.

Editor of tlie Brooklyn Eaale: Tho article relating to mo in tho Eagle of Friday, March 15, tho substance of which was copied into the New York papers, is. I think, likely to injure me, and I hope you will allow this correction a place in your columiiB. My illness was sudden and acute but of short duration, and soon after my trip to BoBton, January 12, my condition steadily improved and I am now perfectly well. The statements in rogard to my return to the city and subsequent continued illness are almost wholly imaginative, for, at no time since my return have I lost tho use of my faculties, nor havo I been confined to my room or bed even for a single day. Open air exercise aud freedom from work in a poorly ventilated, steam heated building havo rid mo of headaches and I am now ready for active occupation, which I hope soon to engage in.

In your article it is stated that no information could bo obtained at my home in New York. Tho only roporter who called there in Twenty eighth, not Thirtieth street, as you had it was from the New York Herald, and his account of my health, from his own observation, was quito correct. Gkokoe Hannah. 352 "West Twenty eigutji street, New March 17, 18S0. BOTH WERE FIXED.

Hugh Donnelly was on hi3 way homo with his mother and sister last eveniug, when, as they reached tho corner of Myrtle avonuo and Navy street, Jeremiah Williams struck him in the face. Donnelly retaliated and a fight ensued. Policeman Brown, of tho Fourth Precinct, arrested both of tho 5'oung mon, this morning Justice Kcnna fined William M0 ana Connolly l. of the saloon. To open a sample room at loo Bedford avenue when All Souls is but a few steps distant would be like starting a little Hheol at the very doors ot the sanctuary.

Moreover, Mr. Bell is himself a resident of that section of the city, a circumstance which the Commissioners could not possibly have overlooked but for the bewilderiug effect of Mr. Conway's rhetoric. He is, therefore, peculiarly qualified to pass upon the merits of Pfaender's application. It will, of course, afford Messrs.

Schliemann and Cunningham much pleasure to give him the opportunity. Their intentions were good, even if their proceedings were susceptible of a sinister interpretation. But the lesson of their experience is not without value, to them. Thev jiave gained something by it. They see deeper down into the mine of Mv.

Bell's virtues than thev ever saw before. Two Trusts. A trust may be defined as an easy road to large and speedy wealth. It is the embodiment on a great corporate scale of a widespread personal impulse haste to be rich. Fortunately, while combination can accomplish many things, one is beyond its reach Hie essential laws which control the affairs of men and soriety H.s unerringly in the end as companion laws direct the operations of nature.

It is a maxim as solid if not as old as the hills that the individual who makes haste to be rich is apt to come to grief oftener than otherwise. Individuals mistake who fancy that by combination they evade the rule. The Copper Trust or syndicate, or corner, as one chooses to call it, for the thing is the same whatever the name made haste to be rich and has come to grief of the most disastrous kind in the face of the wlioh? world. The cornering process is familiar to all the great markets of mankind. It is merely a hurrying wealth ward and it invariably collapses, to Die injury of most of those concerned in it, though a few turn out winners now and then.

This lesson has been taught to the commercial world from remotest times. It litis been so thoroughly learned that business men never think of disregarding it unless they first lose their heads. A savings bank, or a bank of deposit and discount, or a trust company, which should venture into doubtful speculations in order to increase, its percentage of profit, could obtain no footing at all in the public confidence. Yet cornering, syndicate forming and trust consolidating there is nothing new in the lasl but the name go on as do other movements of folly. There is no cure for it but the repetition of experience.

The foolishness of men here, as iti so many other cases, must be left to confound itself. For example, the calamity of the Copper Trust has not availed to restrain the formation of the American Salt Trust. The bud of the business approaches full flowering at Detroit. Michigan and New York supply three times as much salt, as is produced in all the other States. One third the quantity consumed in this country is imported.

These figures compose the problem which the Syndicate set itself is to solve. The solution will be of the customary sort the purchase or control of all works and the regulation of production with a view to maintain profitable prices. Perhaps it, too, will stretch its hand across I he ocean. Yet, though the new eoruermakcrs are unde terred by recent example, nothing is more certain than that, if the Salt Trust violates commercial laws, it will incur commercial punishment. It is not so safe to defy these laws as those of Congress or State legislatures.

AVhen the latter are applied to trusts they fail, it' not so quickly at least as surely, as the act by which so bright a man as Thaddctis Stevens sought in war times to keep up the value of paper money by prohibiting the buying and selling of gold. The Aldermen's Meeting. The most significant fact recorded of yesterday's proceedings of the Aldermen is the introduction at the request of the Park Commissioners of resolutions directing the Commissioner of City Works to advertise for proposals for worth of electric lighting for the parks and for $1,500 worth of water sprinklers. This looks like a concession that all contracts for the Park Department should be under the direction of the City Works as are those, for the other departments. It further seems to be an admission that all awards made and work done have; been irregular in law.

Perhaps there are no consequential defects which cannot readily be cured, but it. is curious that the necessity for a proceeding has been discovered only at this late The new system will add something to the authority of the Aldermen. Perhaps the will not be more satisfactory, but there is nothing to do but to conform strictly to the provisions of the charter. Mr. J.

C. Parsons, in a letter which was referred, complains of what he calls the disgraceful condition of the City Hall. There is no doubt room for improvement in the building, but it is characteristic of local administration that we have to wait for a centennial celebration to bring it about. A report favorable to a $50,000 hospital for contagious diseases was adopted, the gas and electric light contracts for the year were awarded, Alderman Smith secured his own vote and none other in favor of a reduction of price from yisa.oO to a year for each electric light, arc lamps were ordered' on four TO P.1UTS OF USES. lO LET PART OF HOUSE 5 KOOMS K.ti..
