Democrats and Republicans are so nice to each other they wouldn't dare hurt each other's feelings. So different from the old days when the whole family voted as the "old man" did. But today, since mother wears the pants, dad votes Democratic, ma votes Republican and Junior, who goes to college, votes the Labor ticket" although he never worked a day in his life.

The day I moved here I rode out on the moving van to view the beautiful scenery but on going through Jamaica Ave. we were stopped at the toll gate located All the attributes of a real woman was out "in the sticks." It was a common thing while a woman was hanging out her lamlly wash that a goat would sneak into her kitchen and grab the loaf of homemade bread from the table. Nowadays all the women look and keep so young what with having but one offspring. So different from years ago. My dad was the father of 18 children, having married twice.

I used to get the Job to rock the second crop to sleep one on each knee and I'd sing The Tan Yard Side" like nobody's business. My sister had the Job of naming them and as No. 18 came along she was asked, "Maggie, what will we call this one?" She replied, a bit weary, "We'll call this one enough 1" Fellows, if you're not working and you want to take a nice cheerful walk, take a trip through the cemetery. 308 Nichols Ave. JAMES J.

People here are so quiet they don't know how to fiRht nd that's why so many of them are claiming exemption.

near Meserole Ave. Today it meets There on the Porch Of the Homestead Sat the Joe I Knew And How Neighborhood Of East New York Has Changed, 1 Discover Editor, Old Timers: A reader last Sunday asked how many persons recall Schlelllen's Hall In East New York and the 50th anniversary of the Concordia Singing Society. How could I forget? The man who owned the hall and his brother, Judge E. Schiellien. were brothers of my grandmother.

As I grew older I attended many balls that were held there, some of them being the Clover Rangers, the Aganes Society, the Concordia So ciety, the Mohawk Social Club, the Ashford Athletic Club, the Mon- tauk Wheelman, the Pen Glens, and not forgetting the social events of many other singing societies. At midnight there was a grand march, after which everyone would go down to the dining room and for 50 cents apiece would get a good home-cooked meal. Does any one recall the Canarsie train starting from the old Howard House with blind Tony singing, after which he would pass the hat for donations? There Sat Joe I happened to ride through Lib erty Ave. a week ago and there, sitting on the porch of the old homestead, was John Hemminger. How the neighborhood has changed Gee, John, you must be lonesome." In the old days there were tailors and gold beating establishments in East New York.

The girl I married was a gold cutter and now that we have grown older together lt Is a pleasure to read the Old Timers page. Won't some one recall the good times they had in the old 26th Ward? GEORGE A. HERMANN. 80 Woodlawn Valley Stream. He Wrote Excuses For 'Hooky' Player Editor, Old' Timers: To "One of Those Mentioned" I read your article in May 25 issue in answer to "Borough Park." I lived in Bythebourne for many years yet never remember the station at 55th St.

being called any thing but Blythebourne. The ticket agent was Lucy Cooper, who wrote many notes for my brother when he played hooky. The station at 43d St. and New Utrecht Ave. was known as West Brooklyn in the days of the old steam trains.

It included the area from 43d to 49th Sts. When Sena tor Reynolds built what is now Bor ough Park the station was at 49 th St. Borough Park came into exist ence about 40 or 42 years ago. We used to get our mall in the grocery store of A. P.

Stewart and I have a list of names of each resident holding a postoffice box; also their addresses. Later Blythebourne became part of the city and a new postoffice came into existence and we had mailmen as today but I never recall mail being delivered by horse and buggy. Yes, we bought our milk and pot cheese swimming in cream from Kohler and the Cropsey farms. There Isn't a sign of anything to day that can link present Borough Park with the beautiful Blythe bourne and West Brooklyn, Lef-ferts Park, Mapleton or Homewood of years ago. ADELAIDE L.

I was graduated from that school In 1896. our guide! Do you recall Miss Clarke, for whom we told fairy tales? How we giggled, but we still tell them to our classes.

Dr. Van Aiken he of the melodious voice we all fell In love with lt to the detriment of history of education. How about the gym specialists, Miss Cannon, Miss Lennlngton and Mr. Harper? Poor Sampson of the snow white hair and "Penny" were hard of hearing. "We got away with murder." Remember Dr.

Mathewson and Miss Merrill In that grand nature room? Chester was a heart throb for most of my class. Little Miss Luddington broad as she was long but chock full of geography. What a woman I Mrs. Liscomb she of the snappy black eyes and gorgeous voice. We did our 1 No 71 with the greatest of ease for her.

Dr. Lambert killed "The Lark" several times daily. Ida Boyd Motner All Katie De Forest the homework giver of the art department. Art meant llttl- so long as yu turned in plates; yours or someone's else with your name surcharged. Ida Boyd "mother" to more than one artless student.

How we adored herl And how shocked we were at Ethel Green. Miss Aldrich, the' prettiest ever seen. And could she make us do knots and weave! Dear Miss Buch-er, a "replica" of Whistler's mother, adored by all and head of the math department. Professor Locke, internationally famed as a mathematician. He lectured out of the corner of his mouth, one eye screwed shut, and back of the class he paced with an everlasting "Why do you say 'one and one make Feared bv none; loved by all; a "square guy." Gertie Holden we held her on a pedestal.

I still hold her there. We visit her frequently. Her classroom management lectures were something to write home about. Stowell English you'd give a perfect answer to only hear "Splen-oid, my dear. I think I'll give you-er-three!" Observing the Model School where we got the technique from such 100 percent teachers as Emma Myers, who still teaches there; Louise Buchoven of fourth year, and Annie Buchoven, who supervised.

The teaching staff of the good old days were real and women and they Imbued us with their ideals. Most of us wanted to teach for teaching's sake, not Just to collect a check. Some of those fine teachers hav? gone to their Great Beyond; many have retired; several are teaching in the high schools. The gravest error ever committed by the pow-er-that-be was the closing of M. T.

Let's hear from you. CLASS OF FEB. '12-'14. You Could See Best Dramas for a Dime Editor, Old Timers: I remember Lovejoy's Bakery on Grand St. near Driggs where one could get seven large rolls for five cents.

I remember when Benders' shoe store sold the best ladies' shoes at $2 a pair, and Gorman's drygoods store where In the grocery department you could buy the best butter 15 cents a pound. Does any one remember the theater between Bedford and Driggs Aves. on Grand where you could see old time dramas for ten cents? Those were the good old days. Mrs. EDWARD GOLDING.

7740 79th Glendale, L. I. Auld Lang Syne Through the Old Timers page I have come in contact with eight of my former classmates and we meet occasionally and have nice times. AftNE C. SCHULTEN.

89-20 88th Woodhaven. Such Auspicious Arrival? Editor, Old Ttmeri: Reading so many fetters about 22d St. I thought I would add my bit. Fifty odd years ago on Deo. 8 I came to live on 22d St.

I came here on a steamer laden with Christmas trees and covered with Ice and snow. I went to live at 149 22d St. upstairs over the Chris Hansons. I went to Sunday School upstairs in Fallensons' carriage shop, a branch of the 12th Street Reformed Church, and have some of my Sun day School tickets, also my first anniversary badge. I also have some of my first Christmas presents.

Of course I remember Schlagel's vinegar factory and Huff's grocery store. I also went to P. S. 40. I had as teachers Miss McElhinney, Miss Garcia, Miss Elridge and Miss Baker.

Mrs. Green was head principal and took such good care of the boys. I also have some of my rewards of merit. M. E.

Pupils Ate Lunch In Churchyard When Sun Shone Editor, Old Timers: I wonder why more letters do not appear from that quaint old section of Williamsburg and Greenpoint that comprised the 16th, 17th and 18th Wards. There were only three public schools in that section. No. 23 in Conselyea St. near Humboldt, the Maujer St.

school near Ewen now Manhattan presided over by Pop Busch, and the Greenpoint one In Norman Ave. There seemed to be no boundary lines In those days and Conselyea St. school got the most pupils, many that rightfully should have gone to the Greenpoint one or "Pop Busch's." Maybe No. 23, presided over by that stern, strict disciplinarian, Samuel S. Martin, was the most attractive and had the reputation of the best teachers.

There were pupils who attended every day, farmers' sons who came In from Maspeth, Middle Village, Rldgewood, Corona and Newtown, In the slow old horse cars that ran on Grand St. (N. 2d now Metropolitan Ave. The boys and girls from there carried their lunches and in pleasant weather adjourned to the old Bushwick Church grounds, one-half block east, and ate their choice little midday meal while having a nice chat about some game or topic of the day. Everything and everybody seemed pleasant and happy in those days, from the grandparents down to the youngest child.

No. 23 had probably the kindest and most efficient teachers In the city of Brooklyn at that time. I remember Mrs. Stone, from whose class I was graduated in June, 1884. What a good old soulwas she, so kind and sympathetic, more like a mother to the class than a teacher.

How she would come down from her desk and sit by your side when you were all mixed up In "some problem in algebra, cool you off with kind words and set you on the right road. You' won't find a teacher anywhere In Greater New York of the mold today. The old mold has been broken forever. Other teachers I remember were Mrs. Josephine Allen of the first class, who acted as principal when Mr.

Martin was absent, which was very seldom. The Misses Carrie A. Hill, Mollie and Helen Rowan (sisters) Falkner, Van Benscottn, the McCoy sisters, the Powers sisters, Miss Cosine and Miss Vassover, who played the piano every day for the school. She was a very pretty natural blond with an attractive figure and a very stylish dresser. She was well versed In those days in the use of cosmetics, which she knew how to apply artistically, Mrs.

Sutton was principal of the primary department, a fine old lady. She succeeded a Mrs. Abbott. J. G.

Floral Park. Opening of Bridge And Blizzard Make Pictures in Memory Blasting of Hell Gate Another Incident That 'Tis Pleasure to Recall fdifor. Old Timers: Many years ago my family moved from Orange County, New York, to 89 India in Oreenpoint. I attended the public school on Dupont St. for one year.

We later moved to 98 Norman then called The Orchard," next door to Thomas J. Preston and I attended the school on Norman where Mrs. Valentine taught. That "it is a small world, after all," was brought home to me not long ago when reading the old timers page. Alfred Preston mentioned his father, Henry Preston.

My grandfather, Samuel Preston, a native of England but a resident of this country for many years, visited us when we were living on Norman Ave. He had a brother, Henry, somewhere in the U. but never could locate him. No doubt his "missing" brother was close by ell of time! What's Become of I wonder what has become of all of the boys I used to know? Ike and Bill Lyon, John Broad, Sammy Chase, Harry Beach, Link Burt Romans and many others. George Felter, now president of the Green Point Savings Bank, and I were chums and we still see each other occasionally, to our mutual enjoyment.

Going back through the years, the blasting of Hell Gate and the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge are incidents which still remain clear pictures in my memory. The great blizzard of March 12, 1888, is one I cannot forget, as I journeyed to New York City via the old 10th St. Ferry during the height of it and we were delayed many times by ice in the river. The years ot the pa.st were good to me. for they have left me hale end hearty and able to enjoy the present ones.

He Told the Judge Piano Was No Good Editor, Old Timers: I well remember Schielliens Hall on Atlantic East New York. About 50 or more years ago the Burns Scotch Club from the Rockaway Avenue Congregational Church, Rockaway and Blake held an entertainment there once a year and I was the pianist. We had 100 voices. After one of our entertainments was over a gentleman came to me and asked: "What do you think of the piano?" "What do you think?" I said, "why, It is only an old rattle box; so hard to play on." My brother-in-law, Richard E. Gregg, afterward told me I had been talking to Judge Schiellien, for he knew him personally.

The next time I played, there was a different piano in the hall. Our leader was Archie Salmond. R. B. HILDRETH I formerly Clayton).

112-31 159th Jamaica. Business Boomed When Picnicers Came Editor. Old Timers: I was surprised tn read about Camp City. Ulmer Park. I was born and raised there.

My parents were Mr. and Mrs. William H. Ellis. I had two sisters, Mrs.

Murray and Mrs. Barrett, since passed away. After my father died, mother remarried to James A. Coakley, who, too, is dead. My parents were the owners of the old Oak Hotel and when the picnickers came they did a good business.

There were a number of Catholic churches that held their outings there, too. My father was a member of the Oravevnd Exempt Fire Department, have a picture of Hie entire company My younger sister. Priscilla, and attended Queen of the Rosary Convent in AmttyvtUe. My husband, George Vernon, is a letter earlier Mrs. EMMA VERNON.

172 Bay 31.st St. Coney to Throw Real Old Timers Reunion and Show Editor, Old Timers: An old timers party is to be given on Sept. 18 at the Half Moon Hotel, Coney Inland, for the benefit of the Guardian Angel Church on Ocean Parkway. At the first committee meeting held at the rectory recently, it was decided to make the event a barn dance and country store, with prizes for the best old timers costume. Many of the famous radio and stage stars of today who started their careers on Coney in Henderson's and the old Brighton Beach Theater, are expected to appear.

We had great sleigh riding on the Hendrix St. hill and on it poor Lou Chapman lost his life. Adam Dixon, coming up the hill in sailor uniform, carried him home. These places and incidents surely come back to some of the boys, when their memories are refreshed. Also the numerous stone fights when the boys from Rldgewood tried to tread on our preserves.

Freuden-berger, president, Greenpoint Na Ned Harrigan Was His Favorite Actor Editor, Old Timers? Thoug Ned Harrigan's (Harrigan Hart) Theater Comlque was originally situated on Broadway in the late '70s and early "80s, in the old city of New York (now Manhattan), Brooklynltes were as much Interested In his plays as were native New Yorkers.

Every new play produced by Mr. Harrigan wound up with an engagement at Colonel Sinn's Park Theater In Brooklyn for a two weeks' run. After the new Theater Comique burned down in the '80s and the "Old London Street" was built on the place formerly occupied by it, Mr. Harrigan and his company, minus Tony Hart some of the original cast including Billy Gray, took possession of the Park Theater In Manhattan, in the '30s. The 100th performance of each play was celebrated with much ado.

Satin programs were distributed. One of our greatest dramatic critics, J. Ranken Towse, told me a few years before he died, while on a visit to this country from England, that one of his regrets was that he hadn't given the Harrigan and Hart plays all the praise that was due "The Mulligan Guards" series, 'The Major," greatest tenors I ever listened to. Of all the ballads he sang, "My Hero" from the "Chocolate Soldier" was his masterpiece, and when he sang it he made Sheepshead Bay ring. He was a handsome fellow and all the glris were crazy about him.

Harry Weil, tenor, was another great bov in McLaughlin's. ShteHhead Bay Minstrel Now let's go back to the entertainers from 1915 to 1918, when they had minstrel shows every Thursday night.

S. 76 In old East New York? I have' been reading and watching, but fail to see one word from any of them. Who remembers the old plank road on Jamaica Ave. with the toll gates where you had to pay to walk as well as ride? One of these gates was at Ashford St. near Powell's dairy.

Along Jamaica Ave. at Vermont St. was the old Farmer's Rest where trucks and drivers put in to stay overnight before finishing the trip to market. At Van Siclen Ave. wis old Miller's orchard which the boys raided, watching out for the old man with the shotgun.

How I picked the bird shot out of my leg still comes to my mind. The old bridge stood at Vermont it was torn down when the "Squatter Sovereignty," "Mordecal Lyons," "Cordelia's Aspirations," "Pete" and other plays depicting New York life were certainly appreciated at the time they were produced. Ned Harrigan was not only a great actor, playwright and producer but was held In highest esteem by all those who knew him and who were associated with him in those days. G. W.

B. Harding, second soloists, and then the endmen Blllie Dyke, Charlie Adler, Eddie Van, Mike Patterson, Fay Peterson, Frank Lemmon, Jimmle Martin, Charlie Orr, Eddie and Jack Rose and Vincent Lopez and his orchestra. I wonder where all these old timers are today. W. D.

might care to know that Phil Keliey was manager of the dance hall, Artie Conway, floor manager from mil to 1918; John J. Flannerv was McLaughlin's cashier and Bob Poyle In the dance hall. I should also mention Oeorgie Roberts, who made Alexander who helped Rag Time Band quite a hit. GERTRUDE ALLEN, Pop at 70 Took All Shooting Prizes at Our Church' Picnics RAN WARREN MADE OLD SHEEPSHEAD BAY RING WHEN HE SANG BALLAD 'MY HERO' Editor, Old Timers: Where are the parishioners of SS. Peter and Paul R.

C. Church in the 14th Ward of 1905 to 1923? The Revs. William B. Farrcll (R.I.P.), Thomas K. Fenarty, Ambrose P.

Dunnigan (R.I.P.), Charles Vltta 1 (R.I.P.) were among the pastors. Mike Reilly was sexton. Old Jim (Pop) Lynch, the church Janitor, was in the 70s yet had a handclasp of Iron. He always carried off the shooting prize at the annual picnic at Dexter Park. In later years as the boys became older, we started to suspect that there was a stooge behind the target hitting the bell every time Pop shot with his rifle.

Of course, we could never prove it. At picnic time the children would assemble in the school yard the morning, then parade through the streets of the parish. Never shall forget the "meanles" ensconced In the office of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company at Bedford who would heat a batch of pennies and toss them at us unsuspecting kids Each and every year we would fall hook, line and sinker for the same gag. I remember the violent sugar house strikes and the Hudson- Fulton celebration in 1909 when the Williamsburg Bridge was illuminated. Also McGlnty and Woods, rival morticians; Barney the barber, who awaked one March 17 to find his barber pole painted a bright green.
