a THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK SUNDAY. JUNE 14. 1908. 03 BROOKLYN SOCIETY.

OCIETY'S record, with June now well advanced, shows a large percentage of fashionable Brooklyn already at country homes and a mighty number a-globe-trotting in Europe. Yet events in town continue to an astonishing degree. The past week brought forward more than a dozen weddings; the coming week has not many less. Some of the year's most interesting bridals, moreover, are yet to come. The dancing programme is, of course, practically over.

Penataquit-Corinthian Yacht Club's Formal Opening Yesterday. With J. Adolph Mollenhauer continuing AS commodore, flying his flag from the Vim, and Major Willard L. Candee, chairman of the house committce for this year, the Penataquit-Corinthian Yacht Club of Bay Shore went into formal commission yesterday. There was the gayest of gay times at the clubhouse, dining and wining, and the commodore held a reception on his flagship.

Great festivities are in prospect for the club this summer before, during and after the Bay Shore Horse Show, which is less than two months off now. Bay Shore for the Summer of 1908. Few Changes. As it looks now, the Bay Shore of 1908, So far as personalities and general entertainments are concerned, will be almost a duplicate of the Bay Shore of 1907. The changes are very few.

The John Dunbar MAdams family has a new country place, close to its old residence. It has bought land extensively improved the fine McCarroll residence on the South Chore road at Awixa avenue, making it one of the handsomest places about Bay Shore. The O'Donohues are to be almost the only absentees. They are now motoring in Europe, and will continue to so alll the George Adams has taken their house. Newcomers of much note are the Edward Bailey Jordans of the Park Slope, who have the Smith house, on Montgomery avenue.

Mr. and Mrs. Jay F. Carlisle will make their home with Mrs. Robert A.

Pinkerton. Otherwise Bay Shore will be almost precisely the same. There will be there the J. Adolph Mollenhauers, the C. Blums, the Julian D.

Fairchilds, the Low Pierreponts, the Thomas Adams, the George A. Ellises, the H. Rockwood Brinckerhoffs, the HarmaInus B. Hubbards, the Joseph H. Lesters, the Edwin Carrington Wards, the Simon F.

Rothschilds, the Maxwell Lesters, the Richard A. Bashias (now in their new house), the Willard Candees, the John McNamees, the Harry Guyon Barbers, the George R. Turnbulls, the Frederick H. Websters. Nor does this include the Islip.

the Sayville and the 'Babylon colonies that continually co-operate, with their motor cars make light candle ids.tance in between. Mr. and. Mrs. Charles Frank Hubbs are still of this Bay Shore crowd, though now, in their splendid new country place, they are much closer to Babylon, almost in Babylon village, in fact.

In Full Swing Now--the Bay Shore Protective Association. It has taken a body of wealthy Brook-and one Heights man in particuJar--to put together one of the most interesting country estate organizations yet devised. This is the Bay Shore Protective Association, actually started last September, but only in full and complete operation the past month. Primarily, this association stands for the prosecution of trespassers and "other violators of law." It is really a joining of hands on the part of the city men who have large property interests, extensive estates, in and about Bay Shore, several of the more prominent Bay Shore townsmen making 'common cause with them. What the association will accomplish is yet to be revealed, but its membership, is strong and representative.

Wray, A. F. Zahn, M. D. Miss Florence Battin French Engaged to Charles E.

Newton, Jr. There is no end to the notable engagements. Will there be any summer girls at all? one thinks. Won't very nearly every before June attractive is over, Brooklyn be ringed Society and prop- belle, erly marked as a fiancee, some particular beau's Off!" Justification exists for this tentative prediction. Its possibility grows, when the very latest news is considered--Miss Florence Battin French's engagement.

Miss French is one of the Hill's really prettiest girls. She is a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Wesley French, a granddaughter of that very famous Brooklynite of a generation ago, "Honest" John French. "Honest John" was one of the central figures of his day, in a Brooklyn that is gone but will never be forgotton.

It his granddaughter had only her grandfather to commend her she would still be one of the most interesting girls of the day. But she is a personality of herself, and an engaging one. She is a sister of Miss Mabel French that was, the present Mrs. Frederick De Mund Mac Kay, one of the best known of Brooklyn girls and young matrons. Miss French has for several years made her home with the Frederick De Mund Mao Kays at 405 Grand avenue.

She is engaged to Charles E. Newton, of 855 Prospect place, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Newton.

Miss McCrossin's Luncheon for the Bride-to-Be, Miss Sheffeld. A Park Slope bride of this coming week--Miss Anna Sheffeld of Prospect Park West was prettily feted Tuesday afternoon at a luncheon of ten covers. Miss Estelle McCrossin of 242 Hancock street was its hostess, and her guests, besides Miss Sheffield, comprised Miss Josephine Kelley, Grace Grover, Miss Ethel Swain, Miss Teresa Straukamp, Miss Ruby E. Jones, Miss Gertrude Hannigan, Miss Ethelina T. Bogart and Miss Louise Kramer.

This was a pink and white luncheon of very dainty appointments. The hostess and all her guests, with the exception of the coming bride, had souvenirs of little pink slippers. The bride's remembrance was a pink heart. All of these were filled with confetti, and when Miss Sheffield started to go home she was deluged with confetti. The guest of honor, the hostess and nearly all of the guests were members of the little Heartsease Club, that afternoon card organization of Park Slope and Hill that gave a capital dance in the banquet hall of the Pouch Gallery this spring.

Miss Sheffleld is the Heartease Club's president. This near at hand bride is to be married at noon on Wednesday (June 17). She is to become a young Baltimore matron, her coming bridegroom being Dr. Bernard Purcell Dr. Muse has met a number of Brooklyn people.

He was at the recent Heartsease Club dance, spoken of above. Miss Sheffeld is to have a very quiet wedding from her Prospect Park West home. There will be no bridesmaids and only a small reception following. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

Edward Sheffleld. Miss Amy Lester's and Chester Bradford Lord's Wedding Party. One of the coming week's most important brides is Miss Amy Lester, who is to be married in the Packer Chapel on Tuesday evening. Miss Lester, whose home is on Hancock street and who is the daughter of Mrs. David Brainerd Lester, is on that night to become the wife of Chester Bradford Lord of Boston.

Her bridal party is to include: Maid of honor, Miss Alice Lester, her sister. Bridesmaids--Miss Elsa Bebr, Miss Elizabeth Thompson, Miss Lucile Abbey, Miss Josephine Burnett, Miss Wilhelmine McGrath, Miss Beatrice Abbott. Best man- Wendell Endicott. H. Ushers--Rufus L.

Miss Ethel Lockwood Engaged to Dr. Wallace Douglass. Recently there has. been announced the engagement Ethel S. Lockwood, daughter Mrs.

Munson of Miss, Lockwood of 272 Carroll street, and Dr. Wallace C. Douglass, son of Dr. J. W.

Douglass of Boonville, N. Y. Dr. Douglass is a graduate of the Long Island College Hospital. The New Squirrel Inn and Frank H.

Hutton of the Heights. Park and Ontario Park up in the Catskills have been for SO long favorite summering places of Brooklynites that an occasion at the former yesterday afternoon will prove of interest to many people. Twilight Park's Squirrel Inn was burned nearly a year ago. Yesterday the new Squirrel Inn was formally opened. What makes this of even more Brooklyn moment is that the new Squirrel Inn is the work of a Brooklynite-Heights man--Frank H.

Hutton. The George W. Wingates and the George Albert Wingates, the John H. FRANK HUTTON'S SQUIRREL INN. Twilight Park's New Feature to Replace the Old Building, Burned Last Summer, That the Heights Man Has Designed.

Matthew Deans and the Charles C. WhitMcClures, the Theodore Conrows, the neys, the Merwin Rushmores of Washington avenue have been among the Brooklyn households that have made Twilight Park a great resort, and they still continue to go there. The Tunis G. Bergens have a beautiful home at Onteora Park, three or four miles away. The late Bishop Satterlee always summered at Twilight Park.

Mr. Hutton has made a quaint and delightful structure of the new Squirrel Inn. The appearance of rusticity has been given to it by the use of spruce bark on for posts and rails. Curious little balconies on the second story add much to the picture effect. Mrs.

There follows a chronicle of the Brooklynites who this summer will make up the Long Island country colonies. The list does not include each and every family, but it is measurably complete, and will be of great interest to the reader.

With all the talk of the development of Long Island, the progress of the country colonies of fashionable life is not as much regarded and not taken into account as a factor as much as it should be. Long Island, from the purely SOciety side, has come into quite a new era. Its centers are Glen Cove, Oyster Bay, Port Washington, Huntington on North Shore, Bay Shore, Babylon, Cedarburst, Lawrence, Bellport, Sayville, Islip on the South, with Westhampton, Easthampton, Southampton beyond, and Shelter Island on the Eastern tip.

NATIONAL SPIRIT AROUSED. Many Engagements Between Insurgents and Jap Troops Within the Last Few Days. The revolt in Korea against the domination of Japan is assuming serious proportions. Within the last few days there have been no less than 26 engagements. Recent transfers of Korean cabinet ministers were due to the fact that during a conference of provincial governors a number of cases of negligence of the of life itself to save the 'country from losing its national identity.

The Kyong Syong Povince has been a center of insurgent activity, and it is here that the Koreans won victory over the Japs. The Koreans in this a province have been drilled and have a leader who has instilled in them enough knowledge of fighting methods to give them some chance in the encounters with the courageous and well armed Jap. In genuine concern over the condition that has arisen, the Japanese government has had diplomatic exchanges with the Russian and Chinese governments, and they have promised that the Korean surgents shall not be allowed to cross their borders. Close observers of situation predict that the military occupation of Korea by Japan is going to be a stormy and difficult one. The Koreans never before had an issue that aroused their national spirit.

For centuries, hidden from the remainder of the world, they lived their tranquil, peaceful life. Suddenly Korea became the focal point of a great game of world politics. Making an excuse of a desire to curb the advances of Russia into Korea, the Jap, of Russia into Korea, the Jap, long prepared for the conflict with Russia, threw down the gauntlet to the Czar, and in the astonishing war which followed dealt an ineffaceable blow to the military prestige of Russia. This war left the Mikado supreme over affairs in Korea, which power was speedily put to use in order to further the am- U. S.

CONSULATE IN KOREA. IN KOREA. bitions of the newly established world power. A new arrangement between Japan and Korea provided for the suzerainty of the Mikado. The Emperor of Korea a was to remain titular head, and in the administration of affairs he was to have the assistance of a cabinet to be composed of Koreans.

The interests of Japan, under the new agreement, were to be cared for by a Residency General, with the usual administrative departments of foreign affairs, finance, revenue, justice, posts and telegraphs. Each member of the "Korean Cabinet" was compelled to employ a Japanese adviser, whom he was expected to consult before taking any official action. This arrangement, humiliating it was to the Korean pride, was accepted, with some show of resignation. Until eight months ago the Korean was still permitted some display of authority, and no objection was made to the maintenance of the pitiable little Korean army, consisting of about eight thousand troops and police guards. But even then the Emperor was kept secluded in his palace, and his ministers were kept under constant Japanese surveillance.

Whispers of outbreak, of dissatisfaction permeating the country warned the Jap that he must make a his occupation more stringent if he would escape trouble. Feeling that in order to escape censure from the rest of the world A man must be put in charge of Korean affairs whose name was known universally for honesty, justice and ability, Japan picked out Marquis Ito to go to Korea as a guarantee of a wise and humane administration. When Ito went to Seoul the military was in full control. A less powerful man would have yielded, but the Marquis informed Tokio that unless he could have full authority he would decline to stay in charge. His wishes in the matter were honored, but though outwardly defeated, the military party is still powerful and has hesitated to annoy Ito and block his plans for fair treatment to the Koreans whenever there 'has been an opportunity.

From the beginning of Japanese occupation the Emperor stood resolutely hostile. He yielded to force and accepted the Japanese power because it was backed by a military coercion with which he could not cope, but he never yielded his opinion that the subjugation of his country was an outrage. Therefore Japan took the first chance to get rid of him. He was given his choice of abdicating in favor of his son or of having Japan appoint a regent. When it became known to the people that their ruler faced this choice, they gathered around the palace to beseech him not to yield to Japan.

This was really the Arst step in formulating the new policy of nationalism. Fearing that the Mikado would name 8 Jap 28 regent, the Emperor finally abdicated in favor of the Crown Prince, who is little more than an idiot in matters of statecraft and is the tool of the Japanese plotters in his country. Public anger blazed out when the deposition of the Emperor was completed, and a number of clashes between Jap soldiery and the people took place in the streets, though the military superiority of the invaders made it easy for them to suppress the outbreaks. Immediately an order was issued for the dismissal of the Korean army. Mournfully the troops yielded, though in some cases they refused.

and one colonel, after reading the order of dismissal, fell upon his sword and committed suicide rather than obey it. Cashiered out of the army, the soldiers have joined the ranks of the Insurgents, and the force that will continue to harass the Japs is constantly being augmented. The demand for independence is growing throughout the land, and the troops of the Mikado have many weary months of work, perhaps, years, before the Korean demand for freedom is crushed. TO HAVE ANNUAL OUTING. The annual outing of the Henry Hesterberg Democratic Association of the Eighteenth Assembly District, will be held at Donnelly's Ocean Grove, "College Point, L.

on Tuesday, June 16. This will be the tenth annual outing of the organization. A fine athletic programme, including a baseball game has been prepared. Many other Democratic organizations will be represented at the outing. DISTINCTIVE FEATURES OF PUBLIC SCHOOL 8 Under Direction of Principal, Boys Are Labeling the Trees of the District.

CLASS FOR THE BACKWARD. Excellent Results Obtained by Miss Burns, Who Is an Enthusiast. Publis School No. 8, Middagh and Hicks streets, Miss Mary Walseman, principal, is fully in line with the best the city has to offer, and has more than one special and distinctive feature. The school influences are of such a character that they must surely be of great value to the future lives children privileged to receive instruction there.

The new building is an honor to the district and the earnest, unselfish work of the teachers school hours is not without good results in the rooms. The space and light which characterizes class, modern school buildings count for a great deal, when both are painfully lacking in the homes of many pupils. What impresses the visitor at No. 8 1s that many studies are SO emphasized in the class room training that they must awaken dormant sense and develop' those where development has been retarded. The school is peculiarly fortunate in having a strong neighborhood interest.

A recent evidence is that of the window box distribution instituted by Miss Elizabeth Packard. Eighty-seven well made and painted boxes were filled with rich earth stocky plants of bright geraniums, and sold to familles in the school district for 25 cents each, and many presented as gifts. The boxes were made by members of a boys club, in which Miss Packard is interested and for their work they received an encouraging compensation. This is a charming supplementary work to the nature classes to which Miss Walseman has lent such a helpful working enthusiasm, and which have taken many an hour after school hours. There are few studies that are 80 influencing as that dealing with the mysteries and beauty of nature.

It trains the observation faculty, refines as well as instructs, and teaches that consideration which most children need in public parks and gardens, and prevents ruthless and 'gnorant destruction. Miss Walseman has the protective policy by securing a permit from the Park Department to place neat brass labels on district trees, naming them, This is done by different detachments of pupils whom she accompanies after school hours. It was intended that the boys should do the lettering but when it was found that a man's strength was needed, the janitor proved a capable as well as willing assistant. The school has a fine collection of mounted specimens of native trees, plants and butterflies, and on the walls of an upper corridor are a series of framed beautifully colored prints relating to plant life. No.

8 is also one of the schools which has an interesting collection of the crude materials relating to home industries. One large flour manufactory sent specimens of grains inclosed 19a clear glass bottles, and in a box as daintily made and finished as if it contained jewelry, the finished product and its previous stages, all properly labeled, made the collection of practical value. An exhibit of shell buttons, showing and process, was also as entertaining as instructive. The work of No. 8'g kindergarten classes and its room decorations are specially good, The big panel calendars are attractively original, and its sunshine calendar for this month has held its place well.

A cloudy day would bring into place gray colors and a figure with closed umbrella. Should rain come, then open umbrellas; 80 that at the end of the month there is always a reliable reference for the weather conditions of each day. The color work of the boys in 6B grade, none of them over 13, is of an exceedingly fine character. The exhibit on display last week was a notable collection. The compositions were original and the variety great.

They were a fine acknowledgment of the ability of Miss Horrock to teach and bring out the best, and that her pupils appreciate and benefit by instruction. Each class room has its own exhibit of work by the pupils, either on the blackboards or in written composition: mechanical and freehand drawings, and color work. Small paper lamp shades, made and painted in conventionalized designs by these young lads, are well done and as attractive as any shown in the stores. There is evidently a fine appreelation of art among these young folks, and it is creditable to the school that its sculpture and framed photos are SO well chosen. The fund for these tions was contributed by the residents of the district, and Miss Orr, member of the local board.

was in charge of the decorative committee. While every class and every grade in No. 8 is interesting for the good work done by teacher and pupil, that of the "backward" class, in charge of Miss E. Burns, is of special and pathetic interest. Only a man or woman of unusual character could or would undertake this arduous and almost discouraging line of instruction.

Patience beyond that of ordinary mortals, self-control and a generous equipment of that sympathy which helps instead of hinders, are essential. Work shown in this room is truly marvelous color work, writing, figures, careful weaving and netting- -handiwork and study which calls for that persistence and patience rarely possessed by children whose mental force is hardly a thread on which to hang a thought. With only the teacher's penknife they have made a well balanced and constructed model of the log house such as was used by the early settlers. This is set midway in what they call the Farm- a yard wide and four -yard length of box partitioned off by miniature fences, each space representing a farm in whose soil is planted radish crops, maturing nicely considering the conditions. gaine which sharpens dull wits is "keeping store." Having had a previous training in color, when playing engineer and learning the value of danger signals, their knowledge is put to test matching wools, and a small customer is given 25 cents of "play money," and commissioned to match and buy a skein of worsted.

His previous instruction is supposed to be, and is, of service. Some- times the excitement of this delightful enterprise prevents a quick selection, but usually the skein is chosen without ditficulty and goods and change delivered with satisfaction to all parties. When the writer visited the school the first purchaser at the miniature store was a little lad, perhaps about 10, crippled by more than one heart-rending accident. Born normal, the shock and pain and long healing of a burn on the face, which necessitated skin grafting, weakened his mind. Later, a trolley mutilated still more by dragging the child, until with distorted spine he is unable to walk properly.

Heroic and patient persistence of Miss Burns and medical treatment advised by the principal, has brought about a change important enough to give nope that as he matures he may be helped to some method of self support. When he discovered he could really jump, his joy was so great he was continually showing how this wonderful feat was plished. When the fire bell sounds in this room there is great need of careful training. The crippled lad whose seat is within reach of "teacher's desk," knows. that his part is to quickly get to her side, place his hand in hers, and quietly and as fast as possible move with her.

The biggest boy who is rapidly wiping out a previously mischievously bad record, is next in authority to the teacher who depends on h'm to marshal out in succession the class, going last himself. Like most normal boys. John had an unwholesome dislike to perfect cleanliness. The honor of walking home with teacher and being invited in to afternoon tea, has accomplished wonders. He cannot resist showing the thoroughness of his conversion.

He bares his arm to the shoulder, offering inspection from clean, neatly trimmed nails to "way above the elbow." Delighted with a little praise, he entreats you to see his ears and neck. It 1S only those, however, who know the intermediate grades of John's previous condition who realize all that he has gained in this school. TO ALEXANDER BLACK, A.M. governors to represent the actual facts concerning the attitude of the on Korean government toward the insurgents were overlooked, also neglect in falling to correct false and malicious ing Japanese policy, thus encourreports, aging the insurgents. In consequence, the minister of agriculture was transferred to the home department, and the new home minister has removed seven provincial governors, showing a determination to effect many sweeping changes in local officials.

It was the plan of the Mikado and his advisers to reduce Korea to a condition of vassalage, to make Its ten million inhabitants, who four years ago constituted an independent empire with a government and civilization thousands of years old, the possession and subject of the conqueror of Russia. "Agreements," a series of which the Korean Emperor was coerced into signing, had the eventual effect of stripping Korea of the last vestige of control of its administrative autonomy, and the substantial control of Japan was established. But this was only the start. By a series of clever moves, faultlessly planned and ruthlessly executed, authority of the Jap over the country extended theas till at last the people, so far as any voice in their affairs went, had been reduced to a condition almost of serfdom. In this clever play of power the Japanese government never took Korea into account as a maker of possible trouble.

The only thought of the diplomats was to extend their sway 80 carefully that no one act would give the Powers an excuse to protest. When cleverest statecraft achieved this, the satisfied advisers of the Mikado thought their task accomplished. But now from an unexpected source has arisen sudden and most determined resistance. A national spirit has arisen in Korea, something unlooked for and astonishing. The people are calling on their leaders to repel the aggression of the Japs, and have promised to lend their support even to the last sacrifice 001 Mr.

Lawrence University, at Its commence ment last week, conferred the degree of A.M. on Alexander Black, editor, artist and author. Mr. Black's daughter, Mabel, la already An A.B., and his son, Carlyle Helmle Black took the degree of B.S. in course this year.

Dear Aleck: Like tombstones, degrees may verity, And the that you've got I indorse show, with sincerity; 'Twas in Brooklyn, where high lights of greatness appear That your feeling and fancy to us became dear: And St. Lawrence, in giving your name an A.M., As confirming our verdict, is listing a gem Which we watched in the polishing; memory starts Of the time we first knew you a Master of Arts; When your manifold bents made the future a mystery Till the pot-hooks of youth should ba typed out in history; When the camera man scarcely knew how to pose you, Since Science, Art, Letters, all sought to engross you; Long, long e'er Ohio, with voices stentorian, Had called you to star as the Buckeye historian; And before into form you had skillfully licked your plays Which have earned you the title of "Father of Picture Plays." In these you appeared as the father of fable; But of facts you're the father, in Carl and in Mabel; It's of interest to note that they both got degrees, With less labor than yours cost, and far more of ease; So I just grasp your hand, and I don't do it clammily; You're in luck to have three such degreeg in the family; And though I'm somewhat bald, and you're near-silver-gray There is heart in the greeting. Yours truly, J. A. PARIS FASHIONS UP TO DATE.
