WORK DONE BY THE PUPILS OF THE SCHOOLS OF THE CHILDREN AID SOCIETY. Assembly Hall. In the United Charities Fourth-aye. and la occupied this a most Interesting exhibition of work done by the children In the various schools of the Children's Aid Society. There are nineteen day schools and six evening schools represented In the exhibition, comprising many rationalities Italians, Bohemians.

Jlunirariar.s. Russians, Poles and others. The evening: classes are made r.p principally of those who hove been graduated from the day schools of the society, which continues to bold their interest by providing Focial recreation and useful Instruction. Two of the most useful features of the society's work are the truants' and the crippled children's classes, and dM exhibits from these are wonderfully Interesting. The Venetian ironwork done by the "truant" boys is extremely artistic and decorative, a variety of pretty things being shown.

Candlesticks, candelabra, teakettle stands, photograph frames and hanging fern pot holders are cf the most striking, and in several cases are original designs by the boys. All are made by hand, with no other tool than a pair of pliers. Sometimes a gilt or bronze wash Is applied, but generally the articles are of the black Iron, which much more effective. The boys have been taught pyrography. too.

and have applied it with much success to leather and wood. A remarkably handsome writing case of Fray ooze leather with the burnt decoration was made to order, and is exhibited with the consent of the owner, as in several other Instances. It la the aim of the society to convert the truants by making the work interesting, and this the diversity of occupation enables the teachers to do. The boy's individual preference or talent is carefully sought, and he is trained in that direction. Some like the burnt work and some are eager to come to school in order to make the pretty frames or furniture.

Others enjoy carpentry better, and the iron working appeals more strongly to still others. The work becomes a reward, and the morning lessons In mere "school" branches are endured because they lead to the afternoon's pleasant tasks. After a while, say the teachers, the habit of attendance and regularity becomes fixed, and the truant is restored to the public schools, a normal schoolboy in a fair way to become a useful man. and with a taste for some useful occupation developed. The work by crippled children is as useful and varied.

Sew ing, embroidery, basketry and ironwork are exhibited and prove that a new life opened out to tho unfortunate little creatures. Neat dresses and pretty though simple underwear show that the girls are no longer regarded as burdens ly their families, as they can make and repair the family ciothins. What this means in the poor tenements cannot Ikj appreciated in full except by those who ive visited them. The children are conveyed to and from the schools In res. and the ride, the change, the m-ntal stimulus and interest, the teachers say.

almost invariably ljaprove the health in a remarkable de- Kree. The Khlnelander School, in Kast built by the Misses Rhinelander, has a large class of cripples, and its exhibit is especially interesting. The ironwork is admirable. mine hanging candelabra, of four branches being really beautiful. All thai work is for sale, and It is boned that most of the imt-nn in iron, prragTapny.

embroideries and fancy articles may be sold before the close of the exhibition. The exhibit of the Jones Memorial School, some chairs and tabourets decorated with burnt work that are as handsome as many shown In pretentious shops. The rooking class of the Henrietta School, on is extremely creditable. The puddings and cakes all look appetizing, while the simpler viands, such as broad and cheap mo 1 inviting In appearance. The evening schools exhibit shows the work of and plrls from fourteen years of age to twenty, and millinery, dressmaking, cabinet work and work are represented.

An extremely Put on Your Shopping list COLGATE'S Toilet Waters VIOLET AND LA FRANCE ROSE handsome standard lamp, about six feet high, of iron. Is the original design of its maker, a boy of eighteen, and would attract attention anywhere. The gowns and hats displayed show good taste and careful work. and. like the decorative arts exhibits.

The kindercarter.s are represented interestingly by sand heaps, reproductions of Esquimau villages, sugar camps ar.d other realistic groups, clay modelling, drawing and the varied phases of kindergarten instruction. The exhibition will remain open from a. m. to 5 p.

In answer to the subpoena issued on Tuesday Palice Magistrate Pool appeared before Justice Mc- Adam in the Supreme Court yesterday morning and explained why he refused to entertain a complaint made before him on Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff Pendergast, who, armed with a writ issued In the Supreme Court, arrested Neil and took him before the magistrate, accusing his prisoner of threatening to shoot him. After the magistrate refused to entertain the complaint Pendergast took his prisoner before Justice McAdam, who was forced to sit as a committing polio- magistrate. The object of this proceeding 1 said Justici Adam to Magistrate Pool, "is to give you a chance to explain your refusal to entertain a complaint against a prisoner. Your appearance here is a privilege and not an obligation." "When this case was brought before me," said Magistrate Pool, "I regarded it as a case over which this high and honorable court had Jurisdiction. If this is so, then it was a case which your honor should properly have disposed of.

I told the offW this quietly, and suggested that I had no jurisdiction. Then, 1 had no jurisdiction in the case, under a rule and order of the Board of City Magistrates. This prisoner was arrested in the Borough of The Bronx. It was the duty of the complaining officer to have taken the prisoner to the nearest police station. He would then have been presented to the magistrate holding court nearest the station where the complaint was lodged.

That would have been in the Horough of The Kronx. and not before me in the Harlem police court. You see, therefore, that the matter was not of my Jurisdiction." "Supreme Court Justices do not care to sit as petty magistrates." said Justice McAdam. "The ease was a clear, clean breach of the peace, and a ease In which you. Judge Pool, should have acted.

The law requires that the prisoner be taken before the nearesi silting magistrate. If you had discharged the prisoner that would have ended the case. If you had held him that would also have ended the matter. You should have done one or the sou might have taken jurisdiction." After hearing the testimony for and agiinst Toelherg Justice McAdam held him In $000 h.iil to answer before the grand jury. Bail was promptly furnished by prisoner's brother and he was released.
