Mr. Mense drove his wife over to Bayville Beach, and on arrival got out of the carriage to tie the horse. He stubbed his foot in some waV and fell on his face and one hand, bruising and cutting them quite painfully. The horse startled by the fall ran away, and Mrs.

Mense, who had the reins, was unable to hold him in. The carriage finally upset, with Mrs. Mense underneath it, badly injured. Bystanders cared for the unfortunate visitors, who were taken home and are recovering from the experience slowly. which Be charges me with having undertaken to read him out of tho party last winter at the time of the speakership contest.

Nothing which I have ever said or done could be rightfully so construed. I joined with the national and state administrations to reorganize the State Assembly, and I found Colonel Dady seeking then, as now, to thwart their efforts. The Third Assembly District did not have a Republican Assemblyman. Does any man here doubt on which side of that contest the Assemblyman would have been lined up had there been one? Asks Men to Bally to President's Aid. "In the present state controversy, we have tbe same forces which were against the election of James W.

Wadsworth, as Speaker, arrayed on one aide, with the state administration and the national administration on the other, receiving the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt. How any Republican of Brooklyn can hesitate to choose between these two contending forces for state supremacy is beyond my power of conception. In other words, it is inconceivable that any man, who has the interests of the Republican party at heart, can cooperate with the forces which are manifestly hostile to our great Republican President, and all be stands for, and to our honest and painstaking state administration, In an effort to disintegrate and weaken our heretofore strong and splen SURPLUS BIGGER THAN EVER.

The tendency to abuse the transfer privilege by manipulation, trading through agencies and the practice of other Illegitimate methods by a class of operators, to whom the opportunity Is sufficient excuse, increases with Its extension, and to some unknown but very considerable degree unduly burdens the company and discomforts the paying passenger.

Gross earnings for the year were J18.473.328, a new high record, and compared with gross of in 11)05.

Net earnings for the last year were $8,031,950, against $6,529,574 in 1905, while the surplus for the year, after 11 charges and appropriations, was 5ti2, against in 1905. The gain in gross for the year was or 13.10 per the increase in net was $1,502,376, or 23 per while the decrease In operating expenses, which is one of the most favorable features of the report, was 3.60 per cent.

It must also be remembered that there was, last year, the to speak were: Borough Secretary tions. In the year next following tbe number was 70.080.877 or 22.24 per cent.

Yet many a man or woman who realizes perfectly his or her own qualifications along this line objects to adopting teaching as a life work simply because of ambition. Before entering into any line of work one naturally looks ahead for sea room, and tho person who bases his career upon teaching asks if there are a sufficient number of higher positions to hold out a promise of promotion from time to time In accordance with his growth In the profession. Of course, In the rural districts where taxable wealth Is small and the country sparsely settled, tho teacher cannot claim a sufficient annual salnry for living expenses and the work becomes a makeshift, lasts but a few months of the year, and tho would-be professional man has to eke out his remaining time with soma other occupation.

In cities and towns teachers are employed at fair living wages for from eight to ten months ot tho year. It has been found that the average annual Increase In higher education opens about one thousand new places a year in colleges and universities for teachers who have the requisite skill In teaching as woll as the scholarship to bear promotion from sec- were collected 96,465.314 transfers or 27.26 per cent, of the whole number of cash Holwell, Gustavo Schwippondlek and A. Stewart WalBh. Judge Seabury and Mr. Ford did not apear.

Mr. Walsh, formerly a Methodist clergy man, and who has for many years been Identlfiod with Republican politics, has recently been converted to the Municipal Ownership party, and is an ardent Hearst worker. He regretted thnt the club was not supplied with a Hearst picture. Hearst succeeded, he said, in creating a new party around his own strong Can you tell linen from muslin, in the piece? Several hundred Brooklyn women would have laughed at the idea that they did not know the difference, but every one of them has been caught in the most ingenious petty swindle of the day. How large the swindlers' profit Is up to date, how many women they have cleverly buncoed will probably never bo known, but the operations have been In every corner of Brooklyn.

If you are one of those who were not approached you are fortunate. Persuasive young Italians of romantic appearance and a lingual fascination have made up this band of swindlers. According to all stories they have worked this "linen game" to the Queon's taste. Several maids and waitresses alike have boon carried away by their Ingenious offers. In some houses the Venetian, Neapolitan and Roman youths sold as high as (15 worth of "linen." The "linen" proves now to be nothing more than ordinary muslin, worth little higher than half the price the women paid for it.

In early fall days, as Is well known, the average far-seeing woman keeps an eye ahead for next summer's bargains. The department stores, who want to close out their summer stocks, have educated her up to this. Thus the apearance, ten days ago, simultaneously, In a number of sections ot Brouklyn, of young Italians with what aeared to be excellent linen, created no small attention. Not more than two or three of the hand aeared in any one section. In broken English, well adated to the situation, they told a catchy Btory.

Here was a piece of linen, nearly forty yards, that could be bought for $5. It came from Italy and was "Vor' cheap." "Lady, look!" tho Italian "merchant" would say, unrolling It. All accounts agree that In every caso it did seem to be a splendid piece of linen. In the stores such a piece would cost nearly double that. Now came In the art of the Italian.

To avoid suspicion at the low price, he would tell rapidly, In the most broken of English, a story that could be but half understood. It would hint at linen somehow smuggled In without payment of individuality. He compared Hearst, to Napoleon, and said that in the Fifth As did organization, or can even stand Idly by while tbe attempt is made to transfer the control of a part of our local organization to outside forces. for one, do not believe that the Republicans of the Third Assembly District are going to positively or negatively assist in any such movement, and I confidently look forward to the result of the primaries a week from next Tuesday, to show that the people of this district, by the election of Percy A. Baker as their leader, have been thoroughly aroused to the-great Issue of preserving the autonomy of our organization, strengthening the party in Kings County and stalwartly supporting President Roosevelt.

An Appeal to His Foes. "Who is Baker?" some ono called out from tho back of the room. "We come from the Red Point and don't, want a man to represent us who has to wear silk stockings." Mr. Woodruff answered: "You fellows that are making all this trouble don't seem to know that this mretiug was called at the instigation of the friends of Mr. Baker for the purpose of publicly nominating him.

You have had your fun nominating Wheeler and you ought to give us a chance. What wo want is fair play, and it will all be decided at the primaries." Mr. Woodruff then spoke to James E. McKenna, a leader of the Twelfth Ward, and asked him, just for the purpose of continuing the meeting in an orderly mannor, to temporarily withdraw the name of their candidate and allow Baker's name to be voted upon by the men of the Sixth Ward. "If I withdraw his name now, these men from our section would see to it that I didn't get home with any clothes," at which everybody laughed.

Then it was that Mr. Woodruff concluded his speech for the time being by slttiug down and giving the floor to the chairman. Every time he attempted to utter a word, the crowd in the end of the room drowned his voice, until McKenna finally came forward and suggested that the meeting be adjourned. "You men from the Sixth Ward come around to our club Immediately," said sum of $500,000 laid aside as' a contingent reserve" fund. This is the first time the company has ever made such a departure.

Of the transaction the report Bays: "The Transit Development Company, one of your constituent companies, has acquired during the year the entire capital stock of the Canarsie Railroad Company, a new company organized to take over property and franchises of the former Brooklyn and Rockaway Beach Railroad Company, consisting of about three and a half miles of strain railroad tracks and right of way from Bast New York to Jamaica Bay at Canarsie. The Long Island Railroad Company has agreed to pay an amount equal to one-balf the cost of the acquisition of this property, and to join with the Canarsie Company in the reconstruction of the roadbed where the railroads of the companies are parallel, iu consideration of acquiring under long lease certain portions ot the railroad which are not required by the Canarsie Company.

"The net cost of the stock of the Canarsie Company, and the expense of re-construotlon, including the elevated structural incline and. connection, have been approximately $300,000 to June 30, 1906. Additional expenditures will be required to complete the work of reconstruction and furnish the necessary terminals for the proper operation of the line. "The railroad was opened for operation as an electric railroad on July 28, 1906, and no results of operation, therefore, are reported herein. It is expected that this new railroad, offering as it does an extension ot elevated railroad service through a rapidly growing territory and to a popular shore resort, will before long be a valuable addition to your company's lines."

Something went wrong. Somebody had arranged it all before, and things did not come anywhere near happening as was planned by the district leaders. Baker is from the Sixth Ward section and was proposed to fight Michael J. Wheeler, who has already been nominated from the Twelfth Ward for leader of the Assembly district.

It waa a cut and dried affair, according to Baker's friends, that he would be nominated and placed on the ticket, but some friends of Wheeler at least, a big crowd of people who yelled his name decided otherwise, and probably fur thi first time in his life Mr. Woodruff was compelled to cease speaking before he had arrived at the end of his address und consult with the leaders in order to outwit those who had evidently come for the purpose of breaking up the meeting. In ordinary terms, the meeting concluded in a rough house." William H. Ford acted as chairman, and when he asked for the nominal Ions a delegate promptly named Bake. He was seconded, and some one suggested that the nominations be closed, hut out of a large crowd that had collected at the opposite end of the room fc-oin the chairman some one yelled the name of Wheeler, and instantly It was seconded with a roar that reverberated way across Erie Basin.

Although Whoelor had already been nominated at a meeting of his followers. It seemed the Intention of the chairman to accept his name as a candidate, and the question was raised of how the votes were to be taken. Wheeler's Pictures Flung All Over the Hall. An argument followed, and it lookod as if almost every one in the hall participated. Chairman Ford was at a loss to know the next step, and pretty much every one else seemed as much muddled.

Some one threw cardB bearing Wheeler's pictures all over the hall, and particularly toward the front seats where the Baker supporters had seated themselves, and as they settled to the floor Mr. Woodruff readjusted his top coat with a shiver. When the Speaker could make himself heard, he suggested the nomination be adjourned and Mr. Woodruff be permitted to make his address. This had been carefully prepared, and was as follows: "I am delighted to find my old friend Of Yale College days, William H.

The growth of secondary schools has also greatly Increased. In about thirteen years 17,466 new places In public and private high schools have been thrown open. In a list of positions given there were .53,654 positions with annual salaries of $600 and over, and 14.193 of $500 and $600, and ot annual salaries below $500. There are 26,475 positions that pay $800 and upward, which, with the college positions, make 47,362. Only three states so far have made provision for pensions for teachers Ohio, Maryland and New Jersey.

In Europe a t3acher having taught for a period of from thirty to thirty-five years may retire on a pension of four-fifths of the last year's salary, and one who has taught from thirty-five to forty years may retire on full salary. The number of their teachers who have taught more than twenty years is more than IS per cent, of the whole number engaged In the work. The average length of work in this country proves to be 14.7 years for men and 11.1 years for women.
