February 25 With a view of enlisting the interest and co-operation of Federal civil service employes throughout the country and of gaining through them the support of the voters of all parties, for legislation providing for the increase of their salaries, a largely attended mass meeting was held In Convention Hall In this city to-night, and Supreme Court Justice Kelly has granted a preliminary injunction on behalf ol the taxpayers of Port Washington, which will prevent until after the trial of the issues, at leaBt, the secession of the three recently incorporated villages, Sands Pclnt, Motts' Point and Barker's Point, from the Union Free School District. The owners of the three new villages are most of them multi-mlllionalrea.

After Incorporating they applied to get out of the school district. This would relieve the wealthy residents of the shore front of about $15,000 taxes. The villages secured W. Bourke Cochran, a neighboring property owner, to prevent the secession. He sought an injunction to prevent School Commissioner James S.

Cooley from granting the three villages their certificate withdrawing them from the district. In a lengthy memorandum, handed down with his decision, Justice Kelly does not try the merits of the case, but he does remark the "fantastic arrangement of the boundary lines" of the villages and says he does not recall anything like it In village boundaries either in New York or elsewhere. What the property owners ef the three villages did In their effort to secure enough "freeholders" to comply with the law the court thinks was proceeding entirely foreign to the intention of the Legislature when it enacted the village law.

Washington, February 25 A brief protesting against, the application of the eight-hour lebor law to the construction of naval vessels In private shipyards was presented to Secretary ot the Navy Meyer to-day by representatives of the shipbuilders on the Atlantic Coast. The Secretary transmitted the document to the President. The delegation of shipwrights, headed by President Bowles of the Fore River Shipbuilding Company, yesterday presented their views on the subject to Secretary Meyer personally. Their complaint is directed against the injunction of the naval bill as it passed the House providing that the eight-hour law shall govern the construction of the vessels contemplated in the new building programme.

The troops which will compose the garrisons of the forts will be four regiments of infantry, one squadron of cavalry, three batteries of field artillery and twelve companies of coast artillery. A permanent garrison will be established at Culebra, the highest point on the route of the canal. From thiB point facilities will be perfected for the rapid transportation of troops by rail to any point which may be threatened by an enemy. The coast artillery garrison will be located at Miraflores. The distribution of the troops In this manner Is calculated to be the best method to prevent a sudden dash by a landing party or raiding force from an ploye stationed In Washington, under i Committee, which will have charge of Economies In Every Line of Wanted Merchandise New Goods.

THE ONE THING that surprised the Canadian manufacturer who visited this Store last week to get hints as to methods the one thing that surprised him more than anything else was the constant crowd that appeared each day, not on the Main floor only, but on every floor of the Store. "I notlcp," he said, "that both (hp Manhattan and Brook, lyn stores, with the exception of Alii'iihniu mid Straus, have a plan of fillinjr the main aisles near the front door with bar-, gain tables, which give the entrance a crowded look, lint you have the crowds on every floor and nothing, like them anywhere else in the city. Certainly yon have the real crowds." Since so many have made similar comments we believe It niuBt be true particularly as business done seems to corroborate It. And we believe the reason why (his BROOKLYN STORK leads all in business Is because experience has taught Just what the people want most, and THAT is what we offer at such low prices. Our prices are astonishing and unmatchable because they are for the newest and most desirable of Roods and the fact is that goods have no time to be anything but new, so fast, do they find new owners.

We have rjison to believe that, no store has shown such increases in business as we have enjoyed In the opening months of this year. And, as usual, we think the best way to show appreciation Is to give ever greater reason for business. We offer Hie advertisement Unit follows as evidence of our endeavors.
