Another of the four McCall Bisters, of 1071 Bergen street, daughters of Mrs.

Miss Elsie McCall, it will be recalled, is now Emma Bullet Says We Ignore Economy in Things of Life his love for works dealing with the history of America was the fact that he made no effort whatever to collect autographs or manuscripts, and. in fact, disposed of a very good specimen of this class very soon after he had acquired it some years ago. He confined himself to printed books. He remained actively in business until last May, when he suffered an attack of rheumatism.

He went to his country place to recuperate, but his condition became acute two weeks before his death and he grew Bteadily worse until the end. In addition to being president of the Wall street company he was a director of the Sibley Quarry Company of Detroit, an advisory trustee of I he manufacturers' branch of the Title Guarantee and Trust Company and a director of the Long Island Building and Loan Association. He was also a member of the Union League Club, the Brooklyn Club, the Monta.uk Club, the Riding and Driving Club, the Grolier Club of Manhattan and the Triton Club, the last named being a fisherman's organization.

Four sons of that marriage survive, as well as the present Mrs. Church and three children of the second marriage. father who puts by a few francs a week In his woolen stocking for the unselfish use of those whom he has brought Into the world. One of the surprises to me was to see so few automobiles In the few hours I was In New York, and the few I saw on the Maine roads. I was told all the New Yorkers who have autos were out of town.

Well, how is It that the millions of New Yorkers who must remain In New York have no autos? I did not see one private one on Broadway or Fifth avenue. In Paris, in July, and at tnat time of day I could have seen more than a hundred. I saw a few public taxi-autos. I rode in one and the woman I was with paid three times the money for an hour's ride than she would have paid In Paris. I must conclude that autos are not so popular in America as they are in France.

In Maine, in the two months I was there, I saw only two autos on the roads, which, by the way, are not so bad; indeed, I found some of them very good. One motor carriage belonged to Dr. Allan Thomas of New York City, who has a beautiful country place In Blue Hill, and the other a small antediluvian one-for-a-cent, which looked more in keeping with the small town than did that of Dr. Allan Tham-as. In proof that only a few autos ever pass the town seven loungers who were sitting before the grocery store with their feet propped up.

busy telling about the American and Spanish War, got up in a second and looked at the automobile, that had stopped near by, and talked about it as if It were an Infernal machine suddenly dropped down from another planet. There Is a community of rusticators in Blue Hill, some of whose ancestors discovered and settled the place fully one hundred and fifty years ago. Mrs. Virgil P. Kline, nee Ober.

The house that Mrs. Kline occupies Is one of the few colonial structures that remain standing with the broad staircase situated oppusite the entrance door, leading to a broad balcony, from which one enters the numerous bedrooms. There I had the occasion to admire a collection of authentic colonial furniture, mahogany with brass trimming, which could be sold for a fortune in Paris, for there that style is unknown, and the connoisseurs and managers of museums of all the European capitals would make It an object to get a specimen, for.

I think, that that unique American stvle of furniture would fill a void In the history of furniture. While looking at. it it came to me that this furniture was made here during and after the great French Revolution and down to the time of the Empire. France had always taken the Jead for styles, and after the Louis XVI period there Is a lapse of twenty years in which nothing was done. Among the other notabilities who have tt.roK and who spend their summers I in Blue Hill with their families, are Pro fessor H.

Kline, one of the prominent lawyers of Cleveland, has a trout reserve, and his chief pleasure is to catch trout by the dozens and Invite his friends to fish dinners and show them his latest fishing lines.

Flounders, haddock and cod are caught in such quantities that a rustl-cator is often seen on the road with a wheelbarrow full of fish going from house to house to present his friends with a half-dozen of the biggest fish that ever were caught. You mav well Imagine that the com munity Is never in want of a fish story. One of the women told a very good one at thp. bridge table yesterday. Her husband had gone fishing and brought, home a dozen or so of fish, and as he left the bucket in the shed, she asked him if he had fished a flounder.

"Yes, there was one." "A big one?" "Yes, very big." She took his word for it, and went to her neighbors to Invite them to a flounder luncheon for the next morning. She then went, to the kitchen and asked the cook if they had a pan largo enough to cook a very large flounder. 1 ne rook said no, but that she would cut the fish in large pieces and fry Ihem in several pans. "Well, let's go and get it," said the ladv of the house. They went to the big bucket and searched and searched for the flounder.

At last, they found one that was not much larger than the palm of one's hand. Clam digging for clambakes and chowder occupies the attention of both natives and rusticators ns much as big flth. The natives do the work of getting the clams and the others the cooking and the eating. The most Interesting of amusements up there is a clambake the primitive way of conking In the open air, as the Indians did It in their lime. Would you city people like to know nil about, a Maine ciamnaaer a kiovo oi stones Is built in a barren place near the shore, on whirh is placed a large plate of sheet iron.

On this a very thick layer of fresh wet. seaweeds Is laid, and this is thickly covered with clams in Iheir shells, just dug nut. of the black sea mud in which the clams live and thrive. Over the clams another layer of seaweed is put and then more clams, so on until all the live clams are havlig good time under seaweeds, for you ran see them open their shells to take in the moisture and tit-bits that the seaweeds afford. Hut Ibis pleasure is shortlived, for a wood fire is lighted In that stove, which is open on two sides, and the steam arising from thn Beaweeds soon causes the clams to feel very uncomfortable.

In an hour and a half of steaming they are sufficiently cooked to be eaten. In the meantime a tahlo Is set nearbv. in the open air. butter If melted on an alcohol lamp and put hot into small saucers, while tho clams are put on tho table In large pans, and each one serves himself on a plate, takes the clams out. of the shell, dips In he hot butter and swallows three, four, five dozens, according to the appetite.

Thn clams are served generally as an appetizer, for after they are eaten come substantial such ns sandwiches nf all kinds, chicken snlad. with hot biscuits, then a lot of blueberry pies, which my mind are the best viands that the Maino people serve.

i I ia i I 'of i MISS MARIE ABBOTT'S wedding on Thursday (spoken of in some detail below), the first of the late summer and early fall weddings of 1908, seems to have Society, so far as town ie concerned, Bet well under way again.

Not many Heights names are better known than that of Willard, though the Willards of the Heights have long since Jeft the Heights. It is none the less one of the most important chronicles of the hour to note the marriage yesterday afternoon of E.

Augustus Willard. This past Brooklynlte was married at His bride was Miss Marguerite R. McCarty, a Bostonian, who latterly has been living In WeBtchester. This E. Augustus Willard has himself been away from Brooklyn so long that many may not recall htm.

Willard, a remarkable Brooklynite ot his day. Without ever being a man of great wealth, the late Edward A. Willard had position and unlimited friendships and acquaintance.

The church In which Mr. Willard and Miss McCarty were married was presided over by Mr. Wlllard's great-uncle, the late Rev. James F. Le Baron, in 1852, Mr.

Le Baron being its first rector. The wedding itself was picturesque In the extreme, the Church of St. James the Less being an old-time structure of stone covered with Ivy.

Miss Tuthill Is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. Howard Tuthill, who Large Number of Other Prominent Long Island Men Accept Invitation. TO BROADEN SCOPE OF TOUR.

Will Be Confined to Queens Borough and Not Extended to Nassau, The automobile Inspection tour of fbrt members of the Queens Borough Real Estate Exchange has attracted considerable attention, and a movement Is on foot to broaden the aim and scope from a mere Inspection tour to the greater dignity of a real estate men's convention. Borough President Gresser and several of hiB cabinet have accepted the Invitation to be present, and it is the intention of the borough president to give an informal talk on subjects, particularly vital tot the real estate men. County Judge Burt J. Humphrey is also to be one of thn speakers. The judge is noted as an expert on either farming or developing reat estate.

As the Interest In the event grows, it is evident that occasion will bo taken to attack certain abuses that continue to remain without remedy. Chief of theso Is the neglect of tho Public Servlca Commission to do anything to ameliorate, extend, or improve the trolley and railroad situation in this borough. In discussing the matter, Herbert A. O'Brien, one of the governors of tho Queens Borough Real Estate Exchange, said: "It has been clearly demonstrated that the Borough of Queens was deprived of one of its most valuable rights when a Queens Borough man was not to represent Queens on the Public Service Commission. The underlying principle of popular representation Is essenr tlally one of locality.

The New York. Bronx and Brooklyn combination is t-t strong for Queens. It seems evident thaf the time is coming when the matter of representation on the Public Service Commission would be made a political Issue. We want representation, and we are going to have Quite a controversy has arisen regarding the advisability of winding up at Long Beach. A number of real estate men arc of the opinion that the tour should more properly terminate at southerly point of the borough, rather than go into Nassau County, it Is likely that a strong effort will be made to Induce the committee to change its programme, so as to wind up the affair at some point along the Rockawuys.

The Long Island Real Estate Exchange expects to be present in a body, headed, by thn president, Lewis H. Pounds. Among those who have accepted invitations to participate are: I'. A. Brown.

WAS AN ARTIST AND A SOLDIER Successful Manufacturer's Own Brush Had Painted Col. Lefferts of Seventh Regiment. The late E. Dwight Church of 47 Plaza street, a bibliophile of note, acquired many rare and valuable books. Not the least interesting of these is the original autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Just as that great, and quaint old philosopher penned It himself, many years ago.

This unique relic, which looks more like a ledger than anything else, is surrounded on every hand by books which outBhine It in the matter of costly and fashion able binding, but It has an Individuality as striking as that of the man who wrote it. Mr. Church left many thousands of books, and, In fact, his collection was at the time of his death and Is now, the finest of Its kind In the city, But there are few volumes which the aged manufacturer's heirs prize more highly than Franklin's autobiography. In the compilation of his personal and Intimate happenings Mr. Franklin was decidedly democratic.

He got a book such as 1b E. Dwight Church. onjinarily kept by merchants as a memorandum of credits and debits, and ruled the pages vertically with a straight line down the center. He wrote down one column then down the next, and so on until the book was filled. One page tolls of an accident, but whether through the carelessness of the author, or of some one else, there is no way of telling.

The Ink bottle was upset and one of the pages so badly blotted that the writer had to transcribe what he had written on the following page. This he did without comment, indicating that, if nothing else. Franklin had at least a pood control of his temper. The handwriting is firm and very legible despite the years which have elapsed since it was completed. The fact of its existence has not been popularly known.

The lato Mr. Church spent forty years In the collection of his library, his main idea being quality, not quantity. It was stated at times in the press that, in many respects his accumulation of books rivaled that of J. Pierpont Morgan, with whom, the picturesque writers announced, the late manufacturer had many a lively brush in the race for artistic and historical treasures. These stories the members of the Church family dismiss as preposterous.

"Mr. Church never even knew Mr. Morgan explained E. D. Church, at the family residence on Plaza street.

"And had my father known that Mr. Morgan sought to secure a book, or a picture, he. would not, have knowingly attempted to outbid him, even if his wealth had been great enough to enable him to do Nevertheless, the Church nolle, -tion is a very beautiful and a costly one. It comprises about 3.0'iit volumes, dealing almost exclusively with earlv American history and early English literature, in which subjects Mr. Church was especially interested.

A rare "old edition, the first in fact, relating voyage, is said to be one of these, hut. the son stated that, he could not. say whether or not. the volume remains in the collection. The purchase of this bouk was announced last spring, this being one of the occasions when, It was declared, the manufacturer had outbid Mr, Morgan.

Thn priee, as announced In the press. w.is $11,000. Nor W'is the manufacturer's artistic taste confined to books. He liked paintings, lie was an himself and had pain'ei one which needs no understanding of technique to he admired. It is hung in one of the parlors nf the Church residence, and depicts Colonel Marshall Lefferts, himself a Brooklynlte, under whnm Mr.

Church served In tho Seventh Regiment In the Civil War. standing beside a cannon. The colonel is surrounded by members of his staff, thn scene being laid at Federal Hill at Baltimore. In ail probability the picture is the silent memento of an earlv ambition of Mr. Church to make his living by painting, lie was unusually clever with the pencil, having studied drawing at the National Academy of Design in New York City.

In fact lie wua. for a time, a teacher of drawing in the jmhl'r schools, and even after Ins business bmuKhi him wealth he took a keen Interest in the work of the greater artists. It may be slated, in this connect ion, ihat thn first two books bought, contained the plate engraving of the works of Hogarth, the painter. Mr Church's son states 'hat In the nc-cumulation of bis books his father the same cool business judgment which made him wealthy as a manufacturer of soda ami sahratiih.

ALL FAVOR THE GOVERNOR. Oyster Bay Republicans Elect Men Known as Supporters of a Eenomination. (Special to the Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L. September 5 Hughes sentiment dominated the Republican meet lngs held here last night to elect dele gates to the various conventions this fall. The complete returns to-day show that all the delegates chosen are In favor of the renominatlon of the governor.

In President Roosevelt's district, the Fifth the men elected were avowedly Hughes men and were chosen on that account. In the Seventh District, which takes In the village proper, the following resolu tion was adopted: "Resolved, That it Is the sentiment of this meeting, and Its profound conviction that it Is to the best interests of our party that Charles E. Hughes be its nominee for governor of the state." The men elected In the Fifth District as delegates to all conventions are Wil liam S. Moore, Elijah Hopkinson and Theodore Swan. Those in the Seventh are: Assembly district convention, James H.

Ludian and B. C. fainter; Assembly convention. Thomas J. Ellison and Mr.

Painter; county convention, Frank Spicer and Sidney D. Lewis. REPUBLICANS WILL LOSE. Many Voters Will "Go Fishing" if Hughes Is Not Renominated by the Party. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Should Hughes be renominated? This is the most vital question Before the people of New York to-day; but we are astonished that it is not more unani mously answered.

As a self-governing people, what arc our leaders chosen for? To enhance the interests of a political machine, to the aggrandizement and glorification of a few aristocrats, or is it to put our government into the hands of men who are capable of administering it in a manner that will bring justice to the rich and poor alike? Vo we want officers whose solo aim it is to steal public money, or do we want those who have the welfare of the people sincerely at heart? To these questions, there can be but one answer. To which class does Governor Hughes belong? The consensus opinion. Republican and Democratic alike in this state and throughout the county, seems to be that he is a man of mighty mentality, unswerving principle, and in every way of Presidential caliber. The sacrificing of his personal interests to accept re-nomination is evidence of his sincerity. The desire of the people for his renominatlon seems to have been gaining momentum in the past month like a snowball rolling down a mountain side, and why should It not? Why should the citizens of the Empire State be deprived of the services of such a man because of the jealousy of the so-called leaders? His method of administering official duty stands for the highest and best principle of reform in American politics.

This Is recognized by all parties alike. Many Republican friends whose judgments are to be respected have said to the writer that if Governor Hughes is not nominated they should either vote the Democratic ticket or "go fishing." on Election Day, and start before the poils are open. M. L. MINIiR.

Blue Hill, September 1 I was told by the authorities of the Eagle to write my Impressions while in America, and the few that I Bhall have time to jot down will at least have one virtue that of sincerity. In these Impressions I must perforce compare the American manners and customs with those of the French, and If I err or am unjust, I pray the reader will forgive me; for I feel very mucn like the who, upon landing In France, saw a woman with red hair and concluded that all French women have red hair. What has so far struck me most in America is the trouble that people must take to do a thing which in France seems so easy and simple, because there are people who are there and whose trade it Is to do It. Nothing here seems done in a simple way. Now allow me to draw a comparison between life In a French and American village.

Let us take Llverny and Blue Hill, for both are at about equal distance from towns about the same size Vernon and Rockland. One of the things that are considered of the greatest importance In a village is the mailing and the reception of letters and printed matter. In Llverny, at 8 o'clock In the morning, you find your mail on your plate, as you sit down, to your breakfast. Tbe postman, with his bicycle that the government has provided, brings them, going from house to house. On his return from his rounds, say 10 o'clock, he returns to take the mail, and from 8 to 10 you have the.

time to write urgent letters, which reach Paris the afternoon of the came day. How Is it in Blue Hill? All the mail for those who have cottages, at about a mile's distance from the post office, is dumped at the Homestead, a boarding house, and people help themselves. If you do not have time to go and get your mall in that boarding house you ask one of your near neighbors who goes that way, to bring the letters to his cottage, and you, at about five in the afternoon, go to that neighbor to get all or a part of your mail, for you can consider your self happy if some of It has not got lost with the changing of hands. As you see, in Blue Hill, you get your letters almost ten hours after you would have received thein in Llverny. Now for the posting of the letters.

In Blue Hill you give them to the butcl. boy, or the grocery man, who dumps them lr the postofflce when ho has time, or vhen he does not forget to mall them. So much for the mail. Now for the breakfast. In Llverny you have fresh bread or rolls, with the most delicious butter that the baker has brought from Vernon at 7 in the morning.

In Blue Hill you are served with stale homemade bread, salted butter, at any hour between 8 and 9:30, for time is not money when Americans take regularity of the hours of meals in consideration. After breakfast, the lady of the house, who has only one girl, must make beds, do rooms because the girl has washing or Ironing to do, and In the midst of ail that work she is disturbed with callers, who drop in, and she must stop to put on her best morning bib and tucker to receive them and lose her time with listening to small talk, or accept or refuse an invitation which would have saved hours of time for both parties had a simple note of invitation been written. Now in Llverny, all the wash Is sent out to be laundered, and therefore the girl has time to do her work. The lady of the house, ou her side, has no fear of being disturbed when In her bath by visitors, because it is not the custom in France to make calls in the morning. As for the French man of the house, he does uot expect to bo disturbed unless the house Is afire, or one the children has fallen into the water, or if the stork has come to bring an ad dition to his family.

After dinner, which takes plare at a very inconvenient flour, 2 o'clock, the lady of the house, who probably has played bridge until 2 In the morning, is desirous of taking her forty winks, but before she hag had ten she is called to entertain some more droppers in, who have come for small talk or to tender Invitations. She does not show it, but she is boiling with impatience, because she must go to the kitchen to make a rake for the people who are going to drop in 'o supper. What happens In Liverny? Even Americans thero know that it would disturb people to make visits early In the afternoon; but. they know they can drop in at 4:30 or 5 for cup of tea, and then go quietly home at the dinner hour. I don't thlrk any person in Llverny Is up after 11 P.M.

It. is strange how the Americans have trained themselves to keep in harness. Here there are quite a number who have rented cottages and go to the Homestead for their meals. That. sounds easy, but tne're.

is not a Frenchman who would consent to do it. Fancy a man, here for rest, taking his bath, dressing so as to stand the Inspection of sixty people in a dining room, walking over half a mile at 8 to get his breakfast! Americans call that having a good rest. Now a Frenchman would simply have an alcohol lamp In his room, moke and drink his tea and eat his bread and butter at home. Boarding at the Homestead for several families means walk ing over a half a mile six times a day for their three meals. Those are con stitutionals that a Frenchman would object to.

The amount of washing and launder ing done weekly in America is tremen dous. I saw more wash hung up to day in back yards traveling from N'ew York to Boston than I saw in thirty years living in France. An American woman is as extravagant with throwing shirt waists and other fine lingerie in the wash as she is spending her husband's money otherwise. It, is astonishing how soiled a lacy, fancy shirt waist, will look to an American woman, when a French woman would think It clean enough to wear at least a week longer. There Is not a spot on It, the lace and embroidery may have turned little yellow, which for the Frenchwoman adds to its appearance.

But, no. here It was worn two or three hours for two or three days, for an American woman changes shirt, waists several tmes a day. and it must be thrown in the wash basket or go to the cleaner's. This is a part of the habit of Ignoring economy in all things of life. The wonderful abundance of America is one of the great phenomena nf modern times.

Everything is plentiful, even to the fat the land thrown in the garbage barrel. Pray excuse me, If I refer to th's subject, again; but. I wonder how any one hns the audacity nf thanking the Lord for a bountiful meal when halt of is dumped into the garbage barrel. People in Paris have told me that Ame-iennr! have cot more paving with things than they were thirty years, ago. 1 suppose It.

is the telling les- I sons In economy I have hnd while In Paris which prevent me from seeintr 1 much change. To think that in a French household not ten ccnis' mirth is wasted a week must give to you Americans mighty mean opinion of the reeard a I Frenchman has for small thines. "Let us be lavish with our goods while have them" must lie the mitto of th" i Amrk-nn. "I nam niy mnnr-y I upend It, says fhn en rn 1 my money nml I pavn vnmc for rrny flay." says tho Fren 'hrnan.

About 230 members of the Brooklyn Labor Lyceum Association and their wives and children started on their Labor Day excursion early yesterday morning to Niagara Falls and Buffalo, via the West Shore Railroad. The association Is composed of labor union men and represent atives of local unions which hold out at Brooklyn Labor Lyceum, at Myrtle and Willoughby avenues. The trip to the falls was planned as a great event to conclude the summer season, and has been anticipated for a long time.

It Is claimed that the hard times have affected the members of the association, who could not afford the expenses of the trip, and that under ordinary conditions such an excursion would have attracted BOO men, instead of half that number. The arrangements for the three days trip were completed by a committee, composed of George Wehle, president; O. G. Bartusrh. William Schamm and Joseph Kalsch, who outlined the different sights to be seen on each day itinerary.

As a special train was made up in Wee-hawken for the Brooklyn party the men and women were compelled to make their own connections, and but few went in a body. A small crowd gathered early in the morning at Labor Lyceum and reached Weehawken before 7:30, when the train started on Its way. The Brooklyn party was scheduled to arrive at Niagara Fall3 at 7 o'clock last night and to pass the night at the Imperial Hotel, adjacent to the station. After breakfast special cars will take the Brooklynites over the Gorge railroad, giving them a chance to see all tho points of interest from the Canadian side, and the afternoon will be devoted to sight-seeing on the American Bide. Tha party will return to their hotel, where after supper, about 9 o'clock, they will hold a kommers.

Monday morning will be spent in viewing, the fallH from below and taking the Incline railway to Prospect Point. In the afternoon preparations for the return home will be made. A special train will leave for Buffalo, arriving there at 2 o'clock. Special trolley cars will tak? the men and women on a sight-seeing trip through Buffalo. The return to New York will then be made, the train arriving at 5:15 in the morning In time to get back to work.
