Members of the board of trustees of St. John's Guild entertained a number of their friends and members of the guild on the floating Hospital Helen C. Juil-liard and at the seaside hospital at New Dorp, Staten Island, yesterday afternoon. The visit to the hospitals was arranged for the purpose of giving some of the friends and supporters an opportunity of seeing the work, as most of them are away from the city during the summer months when the hospitals are in operation. On arriving at the seaside hospital the guests were landed and the many buildings forming the seaside hospital plant were Inspected.

At this hospital the summer work has been started and about 150 patients were being cared for. All of tbe visitors agreed mat the seaside hospital was fdeally located for a work of tho kind and was being admirably conducted. The present plant accommodates 350 mothers and babies, and after the floating hospital season begins it Is kept full to capacity. ROPE THIEVES CAUGHT. Are Young Boys, and One Has Bun Afoul of the Police Courts Before.

John McPheraon is in trouble again. This time he has a charge of petit larceny pending against him. Last February, In the Court of Special Sessions, he was let off with a suspended sentence. He is IS years old, and lives at 245 Forty-third street. This morning he made his first trip to.

the new Fifth avenue court, and it was a disastrous one. He, with two other boys, were held In $200 bail for the Court of Special Sessions. For some time the Bush Terminal Company, has been anonyed by numerous thefts of large quantities of rope from the storehouse at the foot of Forty-ninth street. Although Special Officer William P. Rourke, who is employed by the company, has spent some time on the cases, he was unable to catch any one until yesterday afternoon.

Then three boys were seen coming out of the storehouse dragging about four hundred feet of rope, worth about $20. McPherson was caught, and Rourke says, he told him the names of the other boys, who were then arrested. This morning Magistrate Naumer sent the case without much ado to the Court of Special Sessions. The three boys held were John McPherson, 16 years old, of 245 Forty-third street; William Vardy, 16 years old, of 52 Forty-first street; and John Sheehy, 19 years old, of 956 Third avenue. SAW THIEF TAKE HORSE.

Mr. Hogan's Hired Man Too Scared to Leave Hiding Place In a Feed Box. (Special to the Eagle.) Mineola, L. June 20 Under the Tery nose of a hired man, a horse thief entered the stables on the premises of Edward Hogan at Weatbury Station this morning and took a horse and rode away. The hired man sleeps la the stable, and about 1 o'clock he heard someone at the door.

The man waited, shivering with fear, and When the door opened he hid In a feed box and peered out through a crack. It was some time after the thief had gone before the man came from his hiding place and gave an alarm. Tbe thief had by that time made good his escape. The stolen animal Is a gray gelding, Ml hands, two white hind feet and white face, about 10 years eld, and has full mane and tall. NAVY YARD BANDSMEN KICK.

Are Disgruntled by Order That Calls for Two Concerts Dally, and Feel Like Striking. Bandmaster Relnhold F. Schutze of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, when he Is not waving his baton In front of the members of his "command," is kept busy coddling them Into staying In the service, for many of them have threatened to run away yes, run away because they are compelled to play twice daily in the navy yard. Recently Admiral Goodrloh Issued an order that the band should deliver Itself of two concerts every day in the week except Monday one commencing at 9:30 in the morning and the second commencing at 3:30 in the afternoon. "Dat's raising the deffil mit meln men!" the bandmaster exclaimed.

It is claimed that the wages paid by the government for musicians is so exceeding small that a first-class musician with a large family, whether he be German, Italian or native born, cannot exist thereon. At any rate, It is the practice of the band members to seek employment outside of the' yard. Schulze himself doubles up on the violin In the orchestra of a New York theater. Several others used to be members of Walter Damrosch's symphony orchestra, snd still others are employed by the, city on the various recreation piers. These outside duties often keep the members up late at night, and to be compelled to make harmony so early as 0:30 In the morning is declared to be a hardship.

The most appropriate tune, next to that of a succession of sonorous snores, would be "Please Go 'Way and Let Me Sleep." The bandmaster has been making strenuous objection to the commandant on behalf of his men. He says that he, himself, has been too long in the service to "kick." He has served twenty-two years, and within eight years more will be able to retire on a pension; but it's "hart on de poys." GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP. Belief That an Amateur Will Capture Trap Shooting Derby at Chicago To-day. Chicago, June 20 To-day is the dsy the trap shooters of America have been looking forward to for months. At 8:30 o'clock this morning the first squad ot the 496 eligiblea for the grand American handicap began the contest on the grounds of the Chicago Gun Club, to decide who is the champion trap shooter of America, and also the ownership of the much-coveted trophy that accompanies tho honor.

Among the contestants are live of the former winners of this classic event, but so many of the amateurs have made such remarkably good scores in the preliminary rounds that the experts declare it would be no surprise to tbem If an amateur with a favorable handicap should be returned the winner to-night. Each man will shoot at 100 targets and the handicaps run all the way from 16 to 23 yards. Although the list of contestants is the largest in the history of the event, it is believed that the tournament can be finished to-day. The prizes In the preliminary events which have been run off during the past three days will be awarded to the men with the highest averages for the entire tournament, including the scores In the i main event. EZRA SUTTON DEAD.

Boston, June 20 Ezra Sutton, one of the best known of the old-time baseball players, and at one time third baseman on the Boston team of the National League, died at a private hospital in Bralntree to-day. Sutton, In his time, was a famous fielder and a hitter. He was born In Seneca, N.Y.t 67 years ago and entered professional baseball in 1869. IT Believed to Know Something About the Murder of Julius Rosenhelmer. ANSWER THE DESCRIPTION, Taken to Pelham Jail and Locked TJp $5,500 Reward May Be Increased $2,000 More.

Pelham, N. June 20 Two more men were arrested here this morning who are suspected of knowing something of the murder of Julius Rosenheimer, the wealthy merchant who was killed In his own garden on Tuesday night. The men were surrounded and taken into custody by the four of the deputy sheriffs whom Sheriff Lane has sworn In to run down the murderers, at 5 o'clock this morning on the New York, New Haven and Hart-for Railroad tracks. They answered In a general way the description of the murderers, one of them being tall and the other short. They were taken to the Pelham jail and locked up.

No charge except that of vagrancy was entered against them. They gave their names as John Hlnes, 36, and Patrick O'Flaherty, 22, and admitted that they were boboes. Their stories of their recent movements as told to Sheriff Lane differed. Both said that they had left New York yesterday to beat it back to Massachusetts, where tbey said they came from, and that on reaching Pelham they had changed their minds and decided to return to New York. Hlnes said, however, that he had run across O'Flaherty Tuesday night at a Park row lodging house, but O'Flaherty said that he had run across Hlnes accidentally on Park row Wednesday morning.

Tbey had not known each other previously. Henry Scott, the iceman, who was held up by two men just before Mr. Rosenheimer was killed, will be asked to take a look at the. men In the course of the day. Hlnes' story as to the Park row lodging house will meantime be investigated.

Two other tramps were arrested In New Rochelle late last night and sent to Jail this morning under a ten days vagrancy sentence. They will also be examined as to their recent movements. The local police take no stock In the arrests. They are now fully convinced that the murderers were yeggmen, with no other motive than robbery, and that they were entire strangers in the vicinity. They believe that the men, after fleeing to the Pelham railroad station, to which they were traced by a bloodhound, took' the 9:03 train that night for New York.

When the dog was put on the trail at the place in the pony path where Mr. Rosenheimer was beaten to his death, the dog made directly for the fence which surrounds the garden, jumped it, and struck straight away across the meadows, baying loudly as if the scent were strong. When he reached the railroad tracks which are about four city blockB distant from the Rosenheimer place, he turned in the direction of the railroad station and stopped at a tool house not far from it. It is believed that In the shelter of this tool house the men waited until the arrival of the 9:03 train. The blood hound circled the tracks in the vicinity of the tool house but was unable to piclr up the scent again.

The story told by Mrs: A. Hegeman, vhose house is near the tool house, also makes it pretty certain to the police that the men went to the railroad tracks. When she stepped out of her back door about 9 o'clock Tuesday nlfht she saw two men standing near some bushes. Yesterday morning when she heard of the murder she went to the spot where the men bad been standing and found a piece a bloodstain on the cord, and the police of white window-cord with a noose in the 91IIP enoot in. sb ejeqj, 'j jo pne think that the murderers may have used the cord to fasten to the end of a railroad spike or other weapon as upon a policeman's billy.

The New York pawnshops are being searched to-day for trace of the watch which the robbers took from their victim's clothes. The time-piece has the owner's initials on it. Members of the Rosenheimer family scout the idea that the murderers were Italians. The attitude of the Italian laborers who were employed on the estate is illustrated by the frekuent Inquiries of the men as to the condition of Mrs. Rosenheimer.

who is still quite 111. Moreover, several of them have called with their hats in their hands and asked to see their late employer's body. It is expected that, the rewards of $5,000 offered for the arrest of the murderers by young Edward Rosenheimer and of $500 by the town of Pelham will be Increased to-dayl by another of $2,000 from Westchester county. Mr. Rosenhelmer's funeral will be held in Woodlawn Cemetery to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.

VERDICT FOR $25,000. It Is Secured by Plaintiffs in Suit Involving the Gypsum Industry. Mineola, L. June 20 A Jury In the suit of Charles R. Brown against Paul W.

English and others to recover commission in the promotion of a gypsum trading company, gave a verdict In the Nassau Supreme Court, yesterday, for $25,000. While the Jury was out two of the members, Albert Flower and Charles Jaggs, were taken 111 and Dr. Schirck was sent for. The men were suffering from a severe attack of acute indigestion, but after tbe physician had gives them relief they were able to go on with the consideration of the case. RIFLE COMPETITIONS.

BTJHNS CAUSED DEATH.

Marian Newton. 8 years old. of 603 Cooper avenue. Glendale, Queens, who was horribly burned yesterday while playing about a bonfire, died some hours later In the German Hospital. FOR NEW AQUEDUCT Accompanied by Officials He Sailed Up the Hudson To-day.

CEREMONY AT COLD SPRING. City Executive's Speech a Strong One. Commissioner Chadwick's Oration. Mayor McClellan and two hundred and fifty other guests of the Board of Water Supply started from Pier A at 9 o'clock this morning on the steamer Albany for Cold Spring on the Hudson, from whence they were driven about two miles back of the river and formally began actual work on the prodigious work of making an aqueduct and reservoirs for storing and bringing to this city an adequate water supply from the Catekill highlands. The Mayor himself dug up the first sod on the work of starting the aqueduct, which entails the construction of about ten miles of this part of the plant, In Hunter's Brook and Foundry Brook valleys.

It is a Job to cost over $4,200,000. Bishop Potter, the head of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, and Vicar General M. J. Lavelle of the Catholic Diocese participated In the ceremonies, the former reciting a prayer and the latter the benediction. The hosts of the occasion are the Board, consisting of President J.

Edward Simmons and Commissioners Charles N. Chadwlck and Charles Shaw. Among the guests were Mayor McClellan and his secretaries, bis Corporation Counsel Will-lam B. Ellison and Assistant Corporation Counsels George L. Sterling and John L.

O'Brien, Controller Metz, Borough Presidents Bird S. Coler, Louis F. Haffen, Joseph Bermel and George Cromwell, Secretary Thomas Hassett of the Board of Water Supply; Chief Engineer J. Waldo Smith, Consulting Engineers John R. Freeman, William H.

Burr and Frederic P. Stearns, the Municipal Civil Service Commissioners William F. Baker, R. Ross Appleton and Alfred J. Talley, and Secretary Frank A.

Spencer of that commission, and nearly five hundred more. The party reached the point at which the aqueduct begins in good season and Commissioner Chadwlck presented the handsome silver and steel spade for the Mayor's use. Mr. Chadwick Presents Spade. In presenting the Mayor with the spade with which to turn the first sod for the new aqueduct, Commissioner Chadwick said: "Mr.

Mayor: Every great work which is the result of human effort passes through a period of agitation and discussion before crystallizing Into action When tbe hour comes, hlstoey tells us that the man never falls. "The great question of to-day Is the solution of tbe municipal problem, to be accomplished along business and engineering lines. Its greatest factor Is securing a supply of pure and wholesome water. "When In this matter the preliminary veatlgatlon was finished and the time came to reduce knowledge an-, wisdom to practice, you, sir, were the man and you were ready. You understood the problem and made It a business proposition.

"In consideration of this fact and in recognition of your office as Mayor of the City of New York, It is my privilege, on behalf of tbe commissioners of the Board of Water Supply, to present to you this spade, that you may turn the first sod in the construction of tbe Catsklll Aqueduct." Mayor McClellan's Speech. Mayor McClellan's address was as follows: "When I took office January 1, 1904, I found myself confronted with a possible water famine, and with nothing practical done for Its avoidance. The Imminence of the peril was appreciated by the few who had studied the question, but tbe public at large did not understand its seriousness, nor was there any public sentiment In favor of Its speedy solution. 8ome preliminary work had been done, and done well, but that was all. My administration found it necessary to do three things before a new water supply system could be actually undertaken.

First, it was necessary to provide an additional borrowing capacity to meet the expenses of the undertaking, by means of a constitutional amendment which had passed the Legislature but had not been submitted to the people. Second, it was necessary to enact legislation so as to make the powers of the local authorities certain. And third, and most Important, It was necessary to arouse public opinion so that the first two obstacles could be removed. "When public opinion was once aroused tbe rest was easy. I do not believe that it would have been possible for me to have accomplished anything but for the constant and unswerving loyalty and help of those about me, especially of my office staff, of the present Water Commissioner, of the.

force of the Corporation Counsel's office, and of the then chief engineer of the Aqueduct Board. Nor could we have aroused public opinion without the help of the public-spirited civic organizations, first and foremost among which was the Manufacturers Association of Brooklyn, under the insistent, consistent and persistent direction of our commissioner, Mr. Chadwlck. Fortunate in Getting Good Men. Public aroused, the constitution amended, and the necessary legislation enacted, I was fortunate enough to obtain the services of the present commission.

As has been told you, because of a pledge I nad given, my selection was limited to nine names, submitted by the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Fire Underwriters, and the Manufacturers Association. But had my choice been unlimited I could not have done better than I did in obtaining Mr. Simmons. Mr. Shaw and Mr.

Chadwlck. Mny thev continue to administer their trust earnestly and efficiently, with an ey.a single to the public welfare. The course of human events is not permanently altered by the great deeds of history nor by the great men, but by the small daily doings of the little men. It was not the stern and silent commander at Waterloo, but the men who stood unmoved In the unbreakable squares, drawn from the highways and the byways, from the field and from the towns of England who revolutionized the history of the world. No more pernicious aphorism ever con- soled the disappointed or the broken- i hearted than that which declares that "It does not matter, it will be all the! same in a hundredyears." It will not be all the same.

Every Little Counts. Throw a pebble in the Hudson. It makes its little splash and as the rings grow wider and finally disappear out of sight they disappear out of mind, and yet as they reach the shore they have their direct effect uoon the banks and upon the course of that mighty river as it rolls unceasingly to the sea. Every word we utter, evry act we do has Its direct bearing on the future of our race. I am one ot those who believes that as goes on the world grows better, and that as man was made in the image of God.

so he who believes in the Almighty must have faith in mankind. Every idle thought. everv thoulitless deed, spoken or done by the least of us, retards; every word spoken in righteousness, every deed performed with a right good will, lends toward the progress of humanity. Nations grow powerful and strong, and lead the world, or weak and decadent, and disappear as the atoms which compose them succeed or fail in doing their duty. We live In an age of sensationalism.

New Yorker, Who Has Made Good, C'Keeffe Says, Succeeds Plnkerton. CAPTAIN LANGAN ENERGETIC. Joe Price Built of the Same Material and Will Fight Retirement Again. Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keefe declared to-day that there was not a bit of significance in the fact that Captain Plnkerton had been relieved of the command of the Coney Island Precinct and sent to Fifth avenue and that Captain Langan of the Fifth avenue station had been sent in his place to Coney Island, except that may be Commissioner Bingham thought that Captain Langan was the better man for the place. It was not' clear that the local deputy had recommended' the transfer, but he did say that the change was made for the good of the service.

Captain Plnkerton is an old policeman, with any quantity of friends, and there was a general impression that he would last the season out at Coney Island. But tenure of office at Coney Island is one of the toughest of tough propositions for a police captain. Captain Knlpe found that out, and so did Captain Doolcy and Captain Evans. Capteln Har-kins, who was down at Coney Island all last year, lasted and got promotion, for he is now hte inspector of the Coney Island district, and of Flatbush and Fort Hamilton and Bath Beach and Sheeps-head Bay, but Captain Harkins is a phenomenon as a police. He plays no favorites and Is always on the Job.

The deputy commissioner Indicated this morning that he had great hope of the police administration on Coney Island from Captain Langan, who is not a Brooklyn man, but who has made good in the Fifth avenue precinct, and in saying that he plainly Indicated that he did not de sire to reflect in any way on the work that Captain Plnkerton had been doing. But he did Indicate that Fifth avenue was a nice, easy place for Plnkerton, and that if Plnkerton was wise he would make a record there. There was no criticism of Plnkerton's work at Coney Island, and he wanted that to be most thoroughly un derstood, but the change was a most de sirable one. and he wanted that to be Just as plainly understood. So, at the opening of the season the most important precinct in the city has changed nanas, and no one will say that It is for political reasons, for Langan is one of the most energetle law-coneervers on the force.

There was a suggestion that Plnkerton would have been better off if he had en forced the excise law on the Sunday when the police heads were asking and plead ing for arrests for excise law violations. And no one but a scurvy varlet would In timate for a second that Plnkerton was tor a moment Interested In the rum in terests. John Wormell, who has been snugly fixed for a time eb captain of the Prospect Park police, away from all his friends In the upper part of the Eastern District, was detached yesterday from the command ot tbe Park police and was sent to the command of the Hamburg avnnue station, the brewery district, anf the up per wmtamsBurgn district, to wnicn ail of old John Wormell's friends have moved in past years. The precinot has been without a bead since the former Borough Inspector Adam A. Cross decided hat he would not submit to demotion and de clined to work In the precinct.

Captain Wormell is probably delighted at the change. A lieutenant has been placed in command at Prospect Park and he will be able to keep track of things tilers until the new captains are appointed. This will take place very soon, it is believed. and there are tbrn vacancies In the rank of captain. There will be all sorts of ructions In the case of Joe Price, who returned from his vacation this morning to find that he had been put on the retired list, but the chances are taht Joe will have to go this tlmo.

He has licked the police commissioner in the courts before, and he told some ot his dearest friends this morning that he would lick this man Bingham. He was surprised when he read in a morning paper that Lieutenant Joseph Price and Lieutenant John Doian and Lieutenant John Mooney had all been retired at their own requests. They were detectives all, from the headquarters office In Brooklyn, who were sent to desk duty when Commissioner Bingham got a full swing under the new law. It was nrt surprising that Mooney had been allowed to get out on a $1,000 pension, nor that Mr. Doian had elected to take a life of ease, but here was Joe Price, without an idea of retiring, put out in the cold world on a pension of J1.000 a year, when he felt that he was just as good as tbe youngest! Joe got back to work this morning and he went to the offices of some of the newspapers and protested that he was not out of the service and that the news- paers which had printed the story were misinformed and were only speeding the wishes of some disagreeable persons, one alderman whose brother, or brnther-ln-law.

he was not nre which, he had sent again and again to Jail and who wanted to get rid of him. He told the editors of various afternoon papers that he would not get out; that he was still in the bullring and that he was a veteran of tbe War of the Rebellion and that the veteran law would protect him. The fact of the matter is that Joe fought to get back some time ago, when he was retired for physical disability, and after he had proved to an admiring Justice in the Supreme Court that even at his age he could Jump a five-barred gate, from the ground, with the agility of an athlete. He got back and the next crack out of the box he received from Deputy Commissioner O'Keeffe. He had been put on station house work and had failed In some little bit of routine duty.

So he was called before the Deputy Commissioner on charges, and Mr. O'Keeffe flatly told him that he was a "has-been," snd asked him why he did not retire. That made Joe madder than ever and he declared that he would not get out. After he had gone on his vacation, he explains, he was unexpectedly called before the police surgeons, who thumped his seventy-year-old chest in a most har-rassing way, and put him through stunts that would tire a youngster. But he stood all of the Indignities and passed through them with honor and glory.

He was astonished to think that the doctors who had looked him over had the face to say that he wis not a perfectly sound and active man. He will sue to get back RAIDS ITALIAN JOINT. Police Captain Creamer of Bedford Precinct on Warpath.

Strong Men Athletes Use POSTUM I FOOD COFFEE We tend to the worship ot success as the only true god, and yet for every man who succeeds In the world's eyes a million fail, and if success in the worldly sense is all that Is worth living for, then is the price of life too heavy a price to pay. The praise of the world is fitful and uncertain. A man who is praised to-day, through no fault of his, may be condemned to-morrow. A man who was condemned yesterday, equally without reason, may be the popular Idol of to-day. There is a success that far transcends in worth that of being able to raise one's self a little higher than one's fellows, and that is the success of the consciousness of having done one's best the success which tomes from doing one's duty as one finds it, according to the grace and the light and the opportunity that is given one, regardless of what ths world may say.

Must Not Neglect Trade. We spsak constantly of the pride of profession, but all too little of tie pride of trade. In exalting the purely Intellectual occupations, we often depreciate the handicrafts. It Is true that machinery has largely taken the place of manual labor, and yet, at the last analysis, as much depends as ever upon the man who labors with his hands, controlled and guided by an active brain. The glory of tho middle ages, Its cathedrals, differ from each other not only In acordance with yie genius of their architects, but even more in accordance with the spirit of their artisans.

How many of you who have wondered whose was the brain that designed the cathedral at Rhelms, or Amiens, has given a thought to the men who worked under him? Yet so much depended upon them, and If what they wrought is beautiful, It Is that they labored not only because they had to, but that their hearts were In their work; and so, even with the humblest, the artisan became the artist. If this great work of ours is to accomplish the purpose for which it Is intended. It can only succeed because the men In the ranks have done their duty for duty's sake; have done their best because It is their best. As the years merge in the decades, and the decades In the centuries; when time has thrown his kindly veil over the bickerings and the differences and tbe quarrels which Beem so much to us, and are, after all, so futile and so petty; when friend and enemy, traducer and traduced, hero and admirer, have passed away; when you and and all of us who are sitting here now, have gone to our long rest, and our very names shall have been forgotten; when this great work, conceived In honesty, begun in honesty, and, God willing, completed In honesty, shall be ministering to the health and happiness of millions yet to come, then God grant that those who shall Bee It in the distant years may say, "It does not matter how they were called who did this thing, or who they were, or what they were; It Is enough to know that they did their duty."
