1905. PARADE SNUBS BOROUGH MEDAL WINNERS Manhattan Honor Men Get Recognition Which Is Denied to Brooklyn Heroes. PROTEST AGAINST THE CUSTOM. First Place, in Line of Bluecoats From This Part of Town, Demanded. Discrimination.

The annual parade of the police force of the City of New York will take place on Saturday next week and already there are murmurings of discontent on the part of some of the Brooklyn members of the department, who claim that an invidious distinction in the worst sense of the term is made between Brooklyn and New York men. They say that this has been the case in all previous parades of the force since the two cities of Brooklyn and New York were consolidated. It is expected that at the parade on Saturday next pretty close to 5,000 men will take part. Of that number 1,500 men will go from Brooklyn. The Brooklyn men will form three regiments in the line of march.

Among them are a number of medal of honor men. Ineluded in the latter are Patrolmen Donald McLean, of the Flatbush precinct; Roundsman Tommany, of the Adams street precinct; Roundsman Michael J. O'Loughlin, of the Fulton street precinct; Sergeant Lux and another patrolman, each of whom received a medal for heroism displayed in times of emergency. Roundsman Charles H. McKinney, of the Fulton street precinct, is a much candidate is made for of the New medal.

York While, men as who a rule, have received either the Rhinelander, the Peter F. Meyer or the Isaac W. Bell medal, very little attention is given to Brooklyn men who have in times of peril behaved every whit as heroically as their Manhattan comrades. The Brooklyn men cannot understand why any distinction should be made regarding heroism on one side of the bridge and on the other. In short, they think that, practically speaking, the same honors should be paid to them as are shown to their Manhattan brethren.

On the day of the annual parade of the force of the Greater New York the Rhinelander, Meyer and Bell medal men occupy a prominent place at the head of the parade, indeed, hold the position of honor in that spectacle. In addition to that the police band acts in a measure as an escort to the men. There is no need to point the medal of honor men out, because there they are and 110 mistake. And much is made of them. When the successful candidates for the honors of the year just passed reach the reviewing stand they are escorted by their comrades to the stand, where each is addressed in turn by the Mayor of New York and the medal is pinned on his vest by the same official.

Of course, this is done in the presence of thousands of admiring spectators and with appropriate music by the band. While the Brooklyn men are modest and do not believe in making themselves conspicuous, they do think that lives saved either from river or fre on this side of the river by Brooklyn men are just as valuable in their way as those saved in Manhattan by members of the force across the bridge. They can see no good reason for giving the New York men positions of honor in the parade while they are scattered indiscriminately through the ranks of the Brooklyn contingent. The Brooklyn medal's presentation is usually a very quiet affair. It is made 10 the successful officer in Borough Hall, in the presence of the borough president the president of the Hamilton Trust Company and the police commissioner, through his representative, the borough inspector.

There is no special ceremony, no attendance of spectators to speak of and very little said about it at the time. Still, the medal commemorates a deed of heroism, and in beauty of design and intrinsic value is said to be the handsomest of all of the four medals. Only one Brooklyn policeman has ever been Awarded a Manhattan medal, and that is Roundsman Samuel Harrington, now of Ralph avenue precinet, who received the Rhinelander medal for heroism displayed at the burning of the Windsor Hotel, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, some years ago. Roundsman Harrington was off duty at the time. 11 is practically an unwritten law that these medals go to Manhattan men.

According to report there is a bill now pending before the Legislature empowering the New York police commissioner to promote in rank the holders of the Rhinelander, Bell or Meyer medals. The Brooklyn men think that they should pt least march at the head of the Brooklyn column on the day of the parade, and not be scattered around. The first man to receive the Brooklyn medal was Patrolman McLean, and the candidate this year for the honor is Roundsman Charles H. McKinney, who is a side partner of Roundsman Michael J. O'Loughlin' of the Fulton street precinct, who was also a recipient of one of the medals.

Roundsman O'Loughlin is the holder of a number of other medals awarded to him for acts of bravery. One of them was voted to him by the Congress of the United States, and he looks, when he wears the different medals, much the same as a foreign military officer who has been decorated by several sovereigns or governments of Europe. Roundsman McKinney was specially commended by Police Commissioner MeAdoo on January 17, 1904. for an act of exceptional bravery in rescuing Miss Ellen Slattery, at 1:20 A.M., January 1, 1904, from the burning building 153 Adams street. He plunged into the smoke, regardless of all conditions of personal hazard, and dragged the woman from her bed, which was in flames.

Five witnesses testifed that they attempted to follow Roundsman McKinney, but were unable to stand the smoke, which was stifling. They said that the roundsman seemed to have a charmed life. Miss Slattery's injuries were so serious that she died eight days afterward. A singular statement made in connection with the awards of honor for of heroism is that while there are medale given by certain humane societies for rescues made on the rivers or waters of New York, none is given by any special society for rescues at fires on land. This statement was made by a member of the Brooklyu police force.

JUDGE SMITH SUSTAINED. His Decision in Important Land Suit Confirmed by the Appellate Division. (Special to the Eagle.) Northport, April 25--The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of Justice Wilmot M. Smith, of the Supreme Court, in the case of Charles T. Sammis v8.

Charles A. Hart. This case baa caused a general interest throughout this town and affects of the most valuable property in the business section of this village. The defendant. Hart, who owns the Northport House, claimed that land adjoining, in the possession of Sammis belonged to him.

According to his deed. Mr. Sammis has erected seven buildings upon the property, including the post office. In order to force proceedings, Hart, about two years ago, tore down an old building belonging to Sammis, standing on the land in dispute. Suit was then begun by Mr.

Sammis the case was tried before Judge Smith, who decided in favor of Mr. Sammis and in establishing the line beLiveen -the two properties Judge Smith found that one corner of Hart's hotel stood upon tho ground owned by Mr. Sammis. Hart was represented throughout the first trial by ex-Judge Thomas Youngs and T. M.

Grifting. M. Belford argued the case 011 appeal. The law Arm of Ackerly Miles appeared for Mr. Sammis.

Mr. Hart now says he will carry the case to the Court of Appeals. GAMBETTA STATUE UNVEILED. Bordeaux Welcomes President Loubet and Crowds Witness Event. Bordeaux, France, April 25-President Loubet presided to-day at the ceremony of veiling the monument to Gambetta, by Dalon.

It shows Gambetta standing in a attitude on 8. pedestal. The figures about the pedestal include a child defending its mother and Wisdom assisting Liberty, both symbolical of Gambetta's patriotic labors at the close of the Franco-Prussian war. vast crowd people was present and many notable addresses were made. OPEN AIR NEGRO MEETINGS.

Open air meetings were conducted in the presence of large gatherings on Hudson aveis nue, between Bolivar street and Myrtle avenue, and on Hudson avenue, between Lafayette street and DeKalb avnue, from 2 to 4 P. M. yesterday, by ministers of the African M. E. Union.

Dr. M. C. Brooks preached on the "Resurrection of Christ." at the first place mentioned. The Rev.

W. C. T. Gumbs of Huntington, L. Evangelist Annie E.

Brown, the Rev. T. B. McConnell and the Rev. W.

R. Lawton also took part. The Rev. Dr. S.

T. Tice conducted both services. FATHER CAMPBELL'S LECTURE. Eminent Jesuit Preacher to Be Heard in the Montauk Theater on Sunday Evening. According to the ancient chronicles the first Latin school opened in New York was located in Broadway, on part of the present Trinity Church property, in 1688.

It Was conducted by three English Jesuits, Fathers Harvey, Harrison and Gage, and was patronized by Governor General Dongan, Judge West, the Tudors, Major Brockholes, ancestor of the present Brockholst-Cuttings, and other prominent families. This school was closed by the penal laws of the Leisler government in 1689. A second effort was made by the Jesuits to found a classical school, in 1808, when the New York Literary Institution was opened, where St. Patrick's Cathedral now is located, on Fifth then a suburban rural region known as Middle road." As the Jesuits left New York in 1817 this school also was closed, and its site, the present cathedral property, sold by them to the trustees of St, Peter's Church for $5,500. The institution now known as St.

Francis Xavier's College, in West Sixteenth street, Manhattan, was started in October, 1847, as a school attached to the new Jesuit Church of the Holy Name, then in Walker street, near Canal, with 120 students, from Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City. This church and school were destroyed by fire January 22, 1848. It was reopened in May following at 77 Third avenue, where it continued until the present college foundation was begun, in 1850, Frank Harper, of Brooklyn, is to-day the oldest living student of the college. He and his brother, the late James Harper, entered the Walker street institution September 11, 1847, and followed it over to Third avenue. The college always has had a large number of Brooklyn students.

Bishop McDonnell, Monsignori McNamara, Duffy, O'Hare, Barrett and many of the Brooklyn priests and laymen are members of the alumni. Mr. Harper, as the veteran of the students, has promised to be with them at the lecture of their fellow alumnus. the Rev. Thomas J.

Campbell, '66, on "Father Isaac Jogues, the Pioneer Missionary and Martyr of the Mohawk," in the Montauk Theater, next Sun day evening. Father Campbell is himself a member of the family who were among the founders of old St. James Church. Jay street. This will be the first occasion that the Brooklyn members of the alumni have met together here since the splendid reception they tendered to their fellow member.

Bishop McDonnell, on his arrival in Brooklyn thirteen years ago. THE CENTRAL LIBRARY BUILDING David A. Boody Discusses the Merits of the Site at Eastern Parkway and Flatbush Avenue. The question of the site of the proposed central public library building in Brooklyn, at Eastern parkway and Flatbush avenue, was last night exploited by ex-Mayor David A. Boody before a special meeting of the Prospect Heights Citizens Association in the Berkeley Institute.

Rufus T. Greggs, third vice president, presided. The attendance was good. Mr. Boody said in part: Section 1 of the bill now before the Legislature in Albany relating to this cubject merely replaces the old law of 1892, which conferred the site to the Brooklyn Instityte, to the position it then held, that is by providing that a library building be one of the several public buildings that shall occupy the park grounds in that section.

It is worthy of attention that thie proposition was made by Dr. Richard S. Storrs, General John B. Woodward and D. M.

Somers, when those gentlemen acted an a committee of three for the Park Commisioners of Brooklyn in 1889, and this identical site chosen. Quoting this old report, Mr. Boody read: "It appears that by retaining this tract of land and improving it there will be furnished space for two or three public institutions that will greatly benefit the people. There could be a botanical garden, an institute and a big public library, a combination of buildings on an admirable site that would rival anything on the Atlantic slope." "Since then." Mr. Boody continued, "there has been no other thought than that the central building should be somewhere in this vicinity.

therefore, have always said with feeling that it should be there. I have been president of the Brooklyn Public Library for seven years. We have spread its influences all over the city in a manner almost unequaled, so that our syetem is second to but one in all of the great cities of the United States and that is our sister borough, Manhattan. "It is a very difficult matter to obtain from a city government, where other wants are pressing so constantly and persistently, the necessary support to a movement of thie kind. Brooklyn contained 100,000 people before we did anything for a public library, and then we were meted out but $5,000.

Since then we have aroused public appreciation and demand until we have an appropriation of $278.020 yearly for maintenance. have found much indifference to library work just as this spirit is shown to all improvements and public benefits at the start. "Now we have progressed so that we have the promise of the city to give us thie tract of land and erect a building to meet requirements. It will probably cost between 000,000 and By using this plot no money will have to be expended for land, and the lesa work we shall have in getting the matter through. At the best.

we are met on every hand with opposition, some want it in another part of the borough, some inQuential people in Manhattan say that the big central library at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street will serve for the whole as city. we So have, if we what can else get such a fair promise, could the directors of the Brooklyn Public Library have done but indorse the proposition?" FAST DRIVERS ARRESTED. Freeport Authorities Resent Attempts to Lead the Strenuous Life. (Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, L. April 25 For fast and reckless driving, a young man who said he was Joseph Scheiner of Valley Stream and a middle-aged man who said he was Whitty of Rockville Center, were arrested by Village Officer William Cameron last night and taken before Police Justice Sidney H.

Swezey. Scheiner had two companions with him. He pleaded guilty and was fined $3, which he paid. Whitty at first pleaded not guilty and was held in $100 bail. He failed to procure the bail and changed his plea.

to guilty. The magistrate fined him $6 or six days in jail. A friend agreeing the fine, he was discharged. I. to pay MEN'S CLUB DINNER.

(Special to the Eagle.) Hempstead, L. April 25-The hearing on the petition of the baymen in relation to granting oyster licenses did not take place before the Town Board yesterday, as was expected.

George Wallace, counsel for the oyster planters, was present, but Counselor Edmund C. Viemeister, for the independent baymen, or clammers, did not appear. Coumselor Wallace urged early action by the beard in reference to the petition. He said it is planting time now the with the and they want to have matter board settled without delay. The board granted a renewal of licenses for planting oysters to Abram Combs, prior to Counselor Wallace's appearance before it.

When he learned that board had granted the renewal and expected, to exercise its power granted by respect, Counselor Wallace withdrew his suggestion for an early hearing by the board. The proceedings had before the committee of the board on petitions last week Were read to the members, and May 3 at 10 A.M. Was fixed for the hearing before entire board. The hearing will be held in the Town Hall. The hearing 1 in relation to the renewal of contract asked by the Jamaica Water for the Floral Park district, was deferred two weeks by consent.

A notice of appeal in the suit of Richard Sandiford against the Town of Hempstead, Carman Frost and Amanda Frost, his wife, regarding the ownership of Long Beach and other town lands contiguous to it, was forwarded to the board by Fred Ingraham, former counsel in the case, who was dismissed by resolution of the former board. The case is to go to the Court of Appeals. Supervisor Seabury inquired why Counselor Ingraham had been dismissed in the case when he had been successful in the courts for the town. Justice A. B.

Wallace said it was because of some laxity in reporting to the board and not returning papers promptly, he understood. Supervisor Seabury said he did not think it wise to swap horses, particularly when the berse you had been riding had carried you pretty well. He expressed a preference for Mr. Ingraham before a resolution was adopted, authorizing him to employ counsel. Richard Sandiford, plaintiff in the action.

vas present at the board meeting and, after adjournment, said never authorized his counsel to carry the case to the Court of Appeals. DISCUSS SHORT SCHOOL DAY. Meeting to Be Held in Hall of Board of Education Thursday Night. A meeting of the members of local school boards will be held in the hall of the Board of Education, Park avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Manhattan, on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, to consider the proposed shortening of the school day in the first year. Educators, parents and all others interested in the subject are invited to be present, and to take part in the discussion which will follow addresses by members of the Board of Education and of the Board of Superintendents.

ITS TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY. Martha Washington Women's Sick Benefit Association Celebrates a Notable Event in Its History. The Martha Washington Women's Sick Benefit Association, the oldest organization kind, celebrated its twentieth anniversary, at The Ehler's event Hall, was a East success New in York, every respect, showing the kindly interest the sociey is enjoying, and the appreciation of the good work done by the women during the past years. The society, which is one of the largest sick benefit societies in the city, was organized by five women twenty years ago on Washington's birthday--hence the name--and when the first officers were publicly installed, April 24, 1885, the membership had increased to thirty-eight. In the intervening years the society has steadily grown, until now its membership is 125, and it has in its treasury over $5,800.

During its existence the society paid over $10,000 in sick and death benefits. Of the five organizers of the society, Mrs. Dorothea Brink, Mrs. M. Deininger and Mrs.

Baeder are still members and Mrs. Brink, who has been president of its organization, was made the recipient of a diamond studded locket, the presentation of this token of esteem being made by August Ehlers, who delivered a stirring festival address on the "German Women of Old and the Modern Helpmate." An interesting programme had been arranged for the event. The Concordia Quartet Club, under F. Dittrich's direction, sang "Saenger's Fruehling" and "Die while "Freiheit's Song" was presented by the Franz Gerau Maennerchor under C. Ringelmann's direction.

The members of the Martha Washington Society united in singing "Seht. Wie Die Sonne Dort Sinket," which was received with hearty applause. A feature of the entertainment was the presentation of the comedy, "Die Verlorene Brieftasche." with Mrs. A. Cordes, Mrs.

A. -Mushacke, Mrs. F. Lappert, V. Tenschert, E.

Mushacke and A. Best in the cast. Supper was served at midnight, when President Brink welcomed the visitors and remembered also the dead of the society who had been engaged in the benevolent work of the organization. Other addresses were held by Mr. Ehlers, who expressed the hope to be able to deliver also the festival address at the silver jubilee, and wished the society all success to continue its work.

Dancing followed until a late hour, in charge of Fred. Rueger and William B. Rueger, floor managers, the only men who assisted the women in the event. The members of the entertainment committee were: Mesdames Carolina Wholrab, chairman; Louise Brandau, treasurer: E. Sack, B.

In a lawyer's offce on the tenth floor of the Temple Bar Building, on a plain wooden table, stands a metal box, not unlike in size and shape to the ordinary galvanized iron water bucket. It is almost jet black in color and lies, apparently, upon its side. One end is cut off short and closed like the bottom of the bucket, except one or two small lids, which indicate the presence of openings. From the other end there projects for about or ten inches a cylinder of smaller diameter, like the second section of a telescope, and from the end of this projects a still smaller cylinder, which curves upward into what is unmistakably an escape pipe. The escape pipe is arranged that it leads through an aperture at the top of the window to the outeide air.

At intervals for the past month or more pedestrians along Court or Remsen street have seen smoke issuing from the funnel of this pipe and several times those more easily alarmed have called the attention of the policeman on best to the smoke, with the idea that it might indicate the beginning of a fire in the big office building. The smoke does indicate the beginning of a fire. It is not a fire which threatens the Temple Bar Building, however, but a fire which, according to the firm belief of the clear headed young lawyer, from whose office the smoke comes, is destined to burn away all other fires, and, in short, revolutionize the present day heating methods of the whole world. The lawyer who has the office from the window of which the funnel of the small stovepipe projects is Thomas Fitzhugh Lee, and the apparatus which looks so much like an iron water bucket with a telescoping annex is a model, "perfect combustion furnace." The smoke which sometimes issues from the windows is from the starting of the fires in the model furnace when Mr. Lee demonstrates how the contrivance gives a great amount of heat by burning a very little fuel.

"When I stand before this little toy furnace and see and feel it give forth the wonderful heat which comes from it, my feeling is one of awe," said Mr. Lee yesterday. "I cannot but think of the wonderful worldwide changes that it is sure to bring about. I feel in a measure as Watt must have felt when the principle of the steam engine swept into his mind. This is a new principle in combustion, which is so simple that the scientific folk laugh at it--but we who know what it will do-" and Mr.

Lee goes on with all the enthuslasm imaginable, The "new principle" of which Mr. Lee says he stands in awe' has been carefully set forth in a small booklet, which gives the history of the invention, and gives a good idea of what it is hoped it will accomplish. "Thirty-four years ago," says the booklet, "in a little town in North Carolina, Lewis B. White, a then young mechanical engineer, became imbued with the hope of discovering that which many had failed to find, to wit: perfect combusion of coals and fuel. He built and he devised and he failed.

He tried again and yet again. All the fruits of his labor were lost; he grew old and gray, but never faltered on the weary road, sustained always with the light of hope and with the prophetic assurance that came to him in the midst of his labors, of the suecess he afterward attained. "In 1898 he associated himself with the Hon. Amos H. Mylin of Lancaster, and together they worked 011 the problem of perfect combustion and in August, 1903, they built a furnace which consisted merely of a temporary inner chamber and a piece of boiler iron bent into a half circle.

It was enough. The long sought for principle was discovered and the product of thirty-four years of unremitting, unceasing, persistent labor, and the building of complicated forms and devices for the conservation of energy, was simmered down to a simple form of construction, proving once again that nature's secret is cunningly hidden and that it is within reach of the hand at all times. "The American patents were issued on April 19, 1903. Patents have been issued by England, France, Norway, Mexico, Transvaal, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Japan, New Zealand, India and are now pending in every other country where patent protection can be obtained. Two subsequent patents have been filed in the United States.

In describing the principle of the new furnace, Mr. Lee says: "An absolutely different result is had in the Anal product of combustion for the reason that the draft is down through the column of coal, and all the smoke and gases generated in the poorer levels of combustion are forced successively down through different Increasing stages of heat until finally they pass into the combustion chamber where, if anything remains unconsumed, it is immediately destroyed. leaving only a colorless incombustible gas to pass out of the stack." In explaining the draught which is, of course, necessary to combustion, Mr. Lee says: "There 1s a constantly created vacuum which the pressure of air on the outside is seeking to fill at all times, and in doing so it carries down with it the smoke and the gases, heating and consuming them in their passage through and over the burning coals into the combustion chamber which becomes Incandescent and where all combustible matter is destroyed. No air is admitted except through the coal.

It is fed in with the coals or fuel, and this is the whole secret of the furnace. Outside of this we have nothing more than brick and iron arranged for either the production of steam or the reduction of metals. A more technical description would be that in the burning of anthracite, coke, tarry or bituminous coal, wood, waste or peat in ordinary furnaces, the fuel next the grate which receives the best supply of air, is, in general, most perfectly burned; but as the hot gases from the fire next the grate ascends through the fuel above they heat It to incandescence, and as the supply of unburned air is more or less deficient in the upper fuel, the carbon dioxide gas produced by the more perfect combustion next the grate gives up half of its combined oxygen to the red hot upper fuel, in effect vaporizing said fuel, with the production of two volumes of carbon monoxide (a fuel gas), for each one volume of carbon dioxide (a non-fuel gas) which may be decomposed by the upper red hot coal. If the layer of coal on the grate be shallow or thin, or in very large lumps, much of the carbon dioxide (non fuel gas) gets through the layer of coal without decomposition, as the maintenance of the right depth of fuel all over the grate, to prevent the formation and escape of unburned combustible gases, is impossible in the common forms of furnaces." In setting forth the advantages of the new system Mr. Lee says: "To describe the first combustion of the solid.

not gaseous fuel, in another way, in this furnace, the effect of the down draft of air which feeds the fire, passing, as it does, first through the unburned or fresh fuel which is placed from time to time in the furnace, causes the hall burned cinders below to be traversed, not by the coldest air, as in an ordinary furnace, but by gases which have been progressively heated, with the result that no half burned cinders escape final and complete combustion, first in the form of solid fuel and finally as combustible gas in the central gas burning chamber. Secondly, the fuel is brought to a firing temperature not by currents of hot, half burned gases traversing the spaces between the unburned fuel, as 111 ordinary furnaces, but by direct radiation of the heat from the hotter to the colder particles of fuel, producing the apparent paradox of a fire progressing against the draft, which is explained by the fact that radiant heat is not impeded in its progress by contrary drafts of air. Though this method of firing makes the zone of combustion in the furnace narrower, it is just so much hotter by reason of the less amount of reverse cooling action always produced in the production of unburned combustible gases, and what little there is of these gases produced in the solid fuel space of this furnace finally completely burned in the gas burning central chamber. very important advantage of this furnace is: The fuel can be piled to a much greater depth in the furnace than in the ordinary furnaces without seriously affecting its efficiency as a heat producer and economizer of fuel; hence, it requires less close attention and less skilled labor to properly fire it, and presents much less danger of irregular heat and waste of fuel. "Another conspicuous value which this furnace has over the ones commonly in use is its capacity for giving very high heat with inferior fuel." The results which Mr.

Lee expects the new furnace to achieve are tabulated by him as follows: "1. We have revolutionized the method of burning fuel of description, We have eliminated grates, tall smokestacks and forced draughts. "3. The combustion chamber consumes all the combustible gases produced in the first combustion. We obtain perfect combustion, and our stack products are colorless gases.

5, We produce heat from ordinary fuel of A degree never before obtained, and sufficient for the reduction of the most refractory ores in the space of a few hours. The intensity of the heat generated makes practicable and profitable the burning of any combustible material or waste product, The form and construction of our furnace is simple, cheap and applicable to any need or requirement." PARISH HOUSE DEDICATED. Handsome Building of St. Parish, Hempstead, Opened -August Belmont a Speaker. (Special to the Eagle.) Hempstead, L.

April 25-Representatives of all of the churches of Hempstead were present yesterday afternoon and last evening at the opening of the new parish house built by St. George's Episcopal Church at a cost of nearly $8,000. The company asembled included many representative citizens, among whom were many residents of other villages. The new parish house ie one of the finest buildings of its class on Long Island. Aside from being used for Sunday school purposes and holding church fairs and entertainments it will also be used by the St.

George's as a clubhouse. There is to be a bowling alley in the basement and there are also billiard and smoking rooms in one wing of the building. In the other are the women's reading rooms, parlore and reception roome. Bishop Frederick Burgess was present al the opening ceremonies yesterday, and made an address. commending the rector of St.

George's, the Rev. J. K. Cooke, for the efforts he had made to collect funds sufficient to build such a structure. He a also spoke in glowing terme of the results it would bring forth and also what vast good similar buildings would do for the young men of every village, in keepiag them from undesirable places.

August Belmont, one of the wardens of St. George's, and who has taken a deep interest in the work of the church, and with his friends has been instrumental in raleing some of the funds for the building of the parish house and the remodeling of the historic old church, which will cost about 000, stated that he was proud of the parish and its workers, and that he fully hoped with the assistance of his colaborers, to raise within another year the amount needed to place St. George's where it belongs, among the most prominent of the parishes about New York. Theophilus Parsons, president of the village, also spoke, indorsing the parish house idea very heartily. The address of Harvey Hascy, in presenting the parish house to St.

George's, was one of the brightest and wittiest. of the afternoon, and received much applause. H. H. Chapman.

superintendent of the Hempstead school, also spoke 011 behalf of the educational features of Hempstead. The Rev. H. B. Munson, pastor of the Hempstead Methodist Church, and the Rev.

Jere Knode Cook. rector of St. George'e, also made brief addresses, which were well received. The parish house is 80 feet long and 31 feet wide. It has two stories and a basement and in the latter will be installed the bowling alley.

The auditorium is on the tire second floor. and will seat about three hundred. The floors throughout are all hard wood and very smooth. At the end of the auditorium is an elevated stage with scenery and two dressing rooms. At the other end of the hall is a small gallery.

The first floor has a large reception hall opening from a vestibule, and at the end of the hall is a large old fashioned fireplace.
