First Discovered About Ten Years Ago, as a Header of the Eagle Remembers. To tile Editor ot the Brooklyn Eagle: I haye noticed in the Eagle an account ot the, finding of two old tombstones in the Borough Hall. Titos' old stones were found about nine or ten years ago, iinU at the time mention of it was made i in your paper.

This was read by the late Miss Rosine Parmentier, who had in her possession an old book of epitaphs copied from old stoma in old cemeteries, etc. Among them are- some copied from old stones in "the cemetery used at the time i of the yellow fever, in 181)3. and from that time until 1810, situated rorner of Boerura and Livingston streets. Brooklyn, at prca- ent (1840) "occupied in part by Centre Market and a slaughter house." At that time Miss sent the hook to your office and from it your erti- tor wrote quite an interesting article bringing In the old cemetery, etc. These stones which have again been brought to light were probably in this old cemetery, and when the eity buildings were erected were unearthed nnd placed in ths base- mont.

Miss rarmonuer rt'iin-niunfu the Charleston family of the name In-glesby were written to and asked if tlu-y caied to claim the old stone. I believe they replied they had no use for It. Thinking this may Interest some of your readers, and throw some light upon the "mystery A FRIEND OF YOUR PAPER. Brooklyn, March 10, 1910. A PERIL TO SUBWAY.

Thinks 3-Cent Line Over Bridge Will Knock Out Profits. To Hie Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I learn from the Eagle that a charter for the Three-Cent Faro Trolley Line erross tho Manhattan 'ridge he North River has been granted by the Board of Estimate, and the matter Is now before the Public Servico Commission tor approval. In so far as tho discussion has gone, I havo not seen tho question raised as how this new line would affect the Fourth avenue subway. It is quite evident that this new line would niako It 'in rcfltable for the B. R.

to send its cars across tho Manhattan Bridge, but would It not also make the operation of the Fourth avenue subway equally unprofitable? YVHh tho completion of this subway and the new Three-Cent Line, the territory between tho Manhattan Bridge and Thirty-ninth street will be so over-supplied with travel facilities that It will be impossible to obtain an operating eom-pnny for tho subway. It Is evident that it will not pay running expenses for nmnj to come. This phase of tho question seems to call for serious consideration on the port rt the Public Service Commission. Certainly it would not be wise for the rlly authorities to permit themselves to ho driven by ptlbliu clamor to create a competitor for the H. It.

The poet, under strong emotion, presents a highly developed mind working in a primitive wa. Passion Is the birthright of the poet; without It he is nothing. Then follow six lectures on poets that, in a measure, illustrate his theme Marlowe, Camoens, Byron, Gray, Tasso and Lucretius. He closes with a remarkably clear and able lecture on inspiration.

"The Wonders' of the Universe," by James L. U.D. (12mo; pages; tho Christian Press Association, New York). A pa.dil-full book of wonders and marvels of the heavens and earth and man and destiny. The book will amuse and instruct and edify a good many readers.

The scheme Is a monumental mistake. New Jersey can utilize the water to better advantage than our city and supply Stutcn Island. The United States Geological Survey has made a thorough examination of the underground water of Long Island and reports that there Is an ample supply for all time, lt would be Interesting to know why a law was enacted prohibiting the getting of any more wilcr from the cast side of the Hudson. Tho expense of a pipe line or nqueduct connecting Lake Chaniplnln with the Cro-ton system would be a bagatelle in comparison to tho present scheme, and we would havo a never-fulling supply and no moro reservoirs.
