GOSSIP OF THE BOROUGH Country Editor's Great Museum Statues Being Placed. There has been considerable discussion hereabouts for the last few years as to the politics of Borough I'll sill Bird S. Coler. Some hold that he is a others that lie Is a Hearst man. A few even maintain that he is a Colerlte.

and nothing else. Mr. Coler fays that he is an antl- McCarrenite. which, in the eyes of Senator Mc- Carren. is something like a nihilist.

He is also a Bryan man and a Hughes to hear him tell about and a few other things unnecessary to mention. Naturally, being so close to him. Brooklynltes have had difficulty In getting his exact measure. Consequently, it has been left to outsiders to obtain a true estimate of him. This estimate appeared in the inoffensive form of a society Item in "The Berkshire County Eagle" on Wednesday, August 25.

The item read: Mr end Mrs. Bird S. Coler and ton, Kugene 8., of Brooklyn, N. are spending a few days at the Red Lion Inn, In Mr. Coler is one of the most prominent Republican leaders in New York State.

For several days the work of placing; thirty statues on the facade of the Brooklyn Museum has been under way. For the last week the statues been delivered at the rate of one a day. Twenty-two or twenty-three are now in position, and the rest will be up within a couple of weeks. The statues have cost the city $112,000. The contract for the pieces was let by the I'ark ment two years ago to Daniel C.

French, the Manhattan sculptor. Mr. French was aided in the work by twelve other pculptors. An Ideal figure of Homer, for Instance, represents Greek Epic Poetry, and so on. In the course of time there will be eighty of these figures on the facades of the museum, but then the building will be a exeat quadrilateral structure, eight times as larjre us it Is to-day.

Dr. Hooper said the other day that he dIJ not expect that the last of the fifty additional statues would be In place in less than half a century. If than. When Urn scheme of tbe building is worked out twenty of the figures will stand above each of the four sides of the museum. Members of the Washington Club, the untl-Mc- Carren organization of the 10th Assembly District, are in a great state of excitement, Some unscrupulous person a McCarrenlte.

of course asraulted the Father of His Country, and Justice calls to high heaven for vengeance. Just who the assailant is nobody seems to know, and so the club members are devising schemes of torture commensurate with his crime and waiting for the police to catch him. The discovery of the offence was made the other night, when the members met at the call of Thomas R. Farrell, the Public Workp Commissioner, to receive instructions as to the proper of defeating the threatened McCarren invasion. The members gathered in Prospect Place before the clubhouse, instead of entering.

And there they stood for an hour, discussing the outrage. For, as the electric lights were turned on, their attention had been attracted to the picture of "Washington Crossing the Deleware," which cool- Ing scene ornaments the front of the clubhouse. In the glare could be plainly discerned a great Just above the right eye of the intrepid leader. Mr. Farrell Is a politician.

While be regarded tha outrage with as much indignation as any, he had a happy thought that almost repaid him for his injured feelings. He ordered the picture taken down and placed on the platform in the assembly room, where all might see It. There it stood throughout the eubsorjuent meeting and fired the eouls of the "antls" with a great desire for combat directed by the crafty leader against the common "Long Pat," the perpetrator of all wrongs, and. In the nature of things, the one responsible for the desecration of George Washington's physiognomy. There is an up-to-date "cop" down in the Fort Hamilton police His naniti Is Benjamin Elite, and he holds down the Job of doorman.

When the last monthly requisition for supplies was turned over to Captstn David Ehans, he surprised to find upon it the item, "One electric vacuum cleaner." "What does this mean?" he demanded of the doorman. "The work of keeping this station Louse clean Is pretty tough," said Ellis, "and a vacuum cleaner would be a big help. Why, captain, keeping this place shipshape has made me a sick man." "Why." expostulated the captain, "they would have the medical board ir.vestigatlng.my sanity if I Signed an order like this." There is ro vacuum cleaner at the Fort Hamilton Btatlon yet, but Ellis declares he is going to have one before he gets through, if the construction of the Fourth avenue subway Is delayed ton years so that he can have it. TENNIS HOUSE SOON. Buildings in Prospect Park is Xcaring Completion.

new locker is being erected on s. little knoll at the Sstern end of the tennis ground at Prospect Park for the benefit of the tennis players who throng the meadow on summer and fall days will soon be completed. The structure Is costing tho city and when completed It will be one of the finest park buildings in the country. The building will be tho third of the structures built at the park. The others are the new boathouse ar.d the big locker house on tha Parade Grounds.

The building of the tennis locker house is part of the scheme of improvement which has been carried on at the park for several years. No building has been more needed, as the tennis players have been compelled to keep their nets at the little croquet locker house and in the basement cf the shelter house near the merry-go-round. Both of these buildings have been unfit for such use, and lnconvenlsjpt as well. The tennis building is 94 feet long and 50 feet deep. Its height is 3o feet.

The base and steps are of granite, with limestone columns, arcade, cornices, etc. The roof will be of red Spanish tile. The f.noririg will be of marble mosaic, while the vaulted ceilings of the loggia and open shelter will be of ealmon-colored tile. The basement will be usefl by the tennis players. It will contain COO individual metal lockers and COO net racks.

ANCIENT PAPER MONEY. Paper properly guaranteed -is now generally recognized throughout the world as the most satisfactory and convenient form of currency, It is not, however, as is very generally supposed, a comparatively modern idea. The celebrated traveller. Marco Polo, of Venice, was the first person to announce in Europe the existence of paper money, in China, under' tho Moguls. It was subsequently introduced by the Moguls into Persia, where their notes were called djaou or djaw, a word evidently derived from the Chjneee word echalo, signifying "a want of specie." The fact of the, Moguls having, in --China and Perela, made use of paper money, has induced tho belief that they were the originators of it.

But in the history of the Tchlnghlz-khan, and of the Mogul dynasty in China, published in the year 1739, the author speaks of the suppression of the paper money, which was in use under the dynasty of the Soung, who reigned In China previous to tho Moguls; and he also mentions a new species of notes which were substituted for the eld in tho The original financial speculation of the Chinese ministry, to provide for the extraordinary expenditures of the state, which were exceeding the was in the year 119 B. C. At this period were introduced the phi-pi, or value in skins. These were small pieces of the of deer, which were kept in a pen. within the palace walls.

They were m. Chinese square foot in size, -and were beautifully ornamented with painting and. embroidery. The price of these skins were fixed at a sum to ftfetut Weekly. BROOKLYN SOCIAL CHAT Fall Weddings and.

When the freighters on the Great Lakes tie up at Chicago to unload their cargoes of merchandise from tho East and load with grain there Is hard work ahead for the longshoremen and also good pay. Tho men who stow the grain form a class by themselves.

Most of them do no other and remain ldlo If there la no boat lying at the elevator docks. These periods of idleness are followed by labor of tho kind. Stripped to waist, the grain Blowers stand in the hold with the flood of yellow grain pouring down through the elevator chute and shovel for dear life. It Is not an Infrequent occurrence to hear a cry for help, followed by a shouting of orders to cut off the grain. This means that a slower has been caught and halt buried In tho grain and that his fellows have dropped everything to nig him out.

plight would bo a bad one were It not for the quick action of his fellows, and not Infrequently ho is carried out of the hold unconscious. To bo caught in the grain, although a serious matter at tho time, becomes the subject of many a Joko afterward. According to the code of his fellows he should have been able to take of himself. The Blowers are fine specimens physically Moat of then are over six feet tall, and the heavy work with the grain hits given them the backs and shoulders of Hercules. Their pay is very high for men labor cannot bo classed as skilled Most of them are Inveterate gamblers, and at dinner hour when they climb out of the hold to eat their lunch In the 'tween decks cards are pretty sure to follow the meal, and a quarrel follows the cards.
