HEWS FROM THE SUBURBS, under natural conditions, every share ot ueb stock will sell in market for only 20 per cent, of its par value. But when such men'demaiil that the United States currency shall be diluted until such insecurities sell at par, th plain people of this country have a right to demand that no fictitious capital shall be 1b sued by the United States government for any such purpose.

The gold standard means the labor standard, for nobody can get gold without labor. But if the United States government Bets an example by watering its currency it cannot blame speculators for watering their sock. As a matter of fact the currency has now been watered until our standard Js In danger, and that is why we want currency re church window and peeping in he saw the men amply in grossed in their play regardless of the sacred character of the place. The prisoners, both of whom are young men and members of the church, claimed they were there to look after the heaters. The Rev.

Gustav Laiass, pastor of the church, was aroused and he recognized the young men as members of his congregation, but said they had no business in the building at that hour. The prisoners were taken to the station and questioned by Captain Baldwin, who concluded he could not hold them and sent them, home. WORKMAN INJURED.

Tho unfortunate man, assisted by several others, was raising a large pole and when It had been raised about twelve feet It slipped in some manner and Btruck Olsen, felling him to the ground. His associates hurried to his assistance and summoned a physician, when it was found how badly he wais hurt. Dr. Tingley answered the call and found that several of Olsen's ribs were fractured, beside other 'internal Injuries.

The unfortunate man was taken to the city last night and transferred to St. Mary's Hospital; SKATED THROUGH AN AIR HOLE. and will be formally opened Monday evening next. The building is located on the company's property, at Flatbush and Vernon avenues, Flatbush, and was formerly used for storage purposes. It has been transformed Into a cheerful club room, is 48 feet by 52 feet, brilliantly lighted with electric lights, and among other things contains a piano, pool tables, library and is soon to have a gymnasium attached.

The railroad men have organized as the Flatbush Athletic Association, with the following officers to care for the club house: W. F. Duncan, president; F. F. Doyle, vice president; John Morrell, recording secretary; William Siebert, financial secretary; Henry F.

Moran, treasurer; Michael F. Moran, librarian. SANTA CLAUS AT CORTELYOU. The annual Children's Christmas festival of the Cortelyou Club was held in the club house, Flatbush, this afternoon. The entertainment began promptly at 2 o'clock with a stereoptlcon exhibition by Timothy H.

Roberts, who displayed on a large canvas stretched across the front of the stage one hundred bright views depicting the popular fairy tales so dear to the hearts of the young. The large audience of children showed their appreciation by frequent applause and shouts of glee. After the pictures were shown the following programme was well rendered by a company of young artists, sons and daughters of the club members. Flute solo, August Schmidt, recitation, "Christmas Time," Miss Annie Meyer; song, "Quiet Night," Emll Zimmerli, accompanied on the piano by his brother Herman; secltation, "Christmas Greeting," Miss Tillio Charrot; song, Miss Jessio Craigen; recitation, "Santa Claus," Miss Ada Schmidt. The little artists also won merited applause.

At this point came a reces3 and cake and cream were served to each of the 150 children present. While the children were enjoying the refreshments there was a clatter of hoofs on the stage behind the scenes and the ringing of sleigh bells, followed by the appearance of a Jolly, robust Santa Claus clad in fur and covered with real snow. He was no other than Frank Gerard, a popular member of tbe Dramatic Society. He never received a heartier welcome in any character than he did this afternoon by the children, to each of whom he presented a gift on behalf of the club members. NEARLY A CENTURY OLD.

Believed That Police Have Arrested a Safe Robber ON A CHARGE OF PETTY LARCENY One of Two Women Arraigned in Ewen Street Police Court This Morning Charged With Shoplifting Is Believed to Have Been the Principal in a Safe Robbery Which Took Place Ten Days Ago Defendants Admitted to Bail. Rebecca Goldfedder, 20 ears of age, who gave her address as 222 East Fourth Blreet, and Ida Somnewltz, 34 years of age, who gave her address as 121 Broome street.

New York, vcre arraigned in the Ewen street police court this morning on a charge of shoplifting. An additional charge of grand larceny was preferred against Mrs Goldfedder by M. J. Rlenecker of the Empire Trouser Company, 200 Graham avenue. Both women were represented by a New York lawyer, who tendered for them a plea of not guilty.

Mrs. Somnewltz was held in and Mrs. Goldfedder in $1,200 bail for examination later. A good deal of mystery was connected with the appearance of both women, who refused to talk to anyone except their lawyer. The arrest of the women was effected last night as a result of Mr.

Rienecker's complaint. While standing at the door of his store last night, Mr. Rlenecker saw a young woman passing, who strikingly resembled another woman whom he suspected of robbing his safe on the night of December 20 last. On tbe night in question a well dressed man and a young woman entered Mr. Rienecker's store.

While showing the man overcoats in a back room with a view to sale, the safe, which had been left open in the front part of the store, was robbed of $175. As the woman had disappeared when Mr. Rienecker returned to the front part of tho store, he suspected her of having committed the robbory. When Mr. Rlenecker saw the woman last night he followed her eome distance along Graham avenue.

Sho was joined In a few minutes by an older woman, and shortly afterward by a man. All three called a little later at tho store of Herman Schwartz of G46 Broadway. While the two women engaged Mr. Schwartz in conversation, tho man stole out of the store with a bundle of clothing. Mr.

Rlenecker started In pursuit of the man, but the latter escaped. Rlenecker then notified Officer Maher of the Sixth Precinct, who placed both women tinder arrest. While tho depositions of the prisoners were being taken at the station houee, Max Messinger, a cloak manufacturer of 35 Graham avenue, called to report that his store had been robbed earlier in the evening of a cloak and skirt, valued at $11. He said that the articles worn by Mrs. Somnewltz resembled the stolen goods.

Detective Lee subsequently went to New York to make investigation as to the authenticity of the prisoners' addresses. He found that which Mrs. Somnewltz had given, 222 East Fourth street, represented the school adjacent to the Church of the Redeemer In which Policeman Smith of New York was recently murdered by Fritz Meyer now under sentence of death for the crime. At the address on Broome street, given by Mrs. Goldfedder, it was ascertained that a young woman answering her description was well known in the locality and it was probably correct.

Both tho accused will be placed on trial tomorrow. NEED OF CURRENCY REFORM. Defects in Our Present System and Their Evil Results. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: "Currency Reform" means that our currency is in danger. We have twelve different kinds of currency floating through our exchanges upon an equality.

Some of It Is gold, some of It is payable in gold, some of It is silver, and some of 'it is payable in silver; some of it is payable in coin, which some say means gold coin, and others eay means silver coin, wtiile others say it means paper. Some of our currency is a legal tender in payment of debts and some of it is not. It all floats upon an equality because, whatever che intrinsic value of the medium in which it may be paid and whatever its legai tender quality, ail our administrations, as a matter fact, treat all issues on a footing of exyct equality, and as payable in the gold standard. The danger by which this system Is threatened will ban be shown by a glance at its origin. At beginning of the war.

In 1861, New York Scate bank currency was the result of over one hundred years' experience. New York State banks issued tbe currency which they obtained from the bank department 'in Albany. That the banks would pay these bills In specie upon preset) tatiun at their counters, they were compelled to deposit tho stats $1 in security for every dollar of currency so issued. On account of the usury law no bond was legvii which paid over 7 per cent. When United States bonds, therefore, would no longer sell at 7 per cent.

In the New York market, itiey became illegal ar. therefore, no longer receivable in Albany for bank notes. The same was the case hi other As to the United States treasury, it could receive the biils of no Lank not paying specie for its bills upon presentation at its counter. This situation was gotten over by legal quibble. A 6 per cent, bond of the United States redeemable in five years and payable in twenty years was issued and the currency was diluted until such bunds sold at par.

Thus United States bonds sold in the New York market at nominal par and couHl be received as security for New York State bank notes, which could be loaned to tho United government, because the banks no longer tiad to pay specie for their bank bills, but couid use United States greenbacks, which were made a legal tender for that purpose. The danger threatening us now is of this same nature. The currency has been diluted once to float United States bonds In a timo of dire distress, and tho lesson learned. It Is now sought to use this lesson for other purposes. If a man or a set of men, can buy $15.

OnO.OOO worth of property and can turn It Into $75,000,000 worth of stock, that Is a matter which Is entirely their own business, because, NEW PUBLICATIONS. lorm. E. S. BROWNSON.

49 Garden Place, December 28, 1897. TRIED TO KILL HERSELF. Mrs. Polster Lost Her Baby Boy and Took Paris Green. Mrs.

Johanna Polster, 35 years of age, A 436 East One Hundred and Twenty first street, N.Y., will probably die in the Harlem Hospital whoro she now is, as tbe result of a quantity of Paris green taken this morning. The woman is the wife of a mechanic, C. tV. Polster. They occupy a nicely furnished flat.

They had one child, a boy, Howard, 3 years of age, on whom they doted. He was a great favorite in the neighborhood be cause of his brightness and when he was taken ill with the croup a week ago the parents were much depressed. The mother', watched with the child the greater part of' last night, but at last retired. When thfl husband and wife awoke this morning they. found the baby dead.

The mother became frantic. She shrieked, sank to the floor, groaned, arose again and ran to a closet. She seized a package of Paris green and swallowed some of It. Polster shouted for a policeman and an ambulance was called and Mrs. Polster was taken to the Harlem Hospital.

Her condition is critical. HAWLEY AND SMALLEY. To tho Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: I have before me an account of the remarks of Mr. Smalley at the New England Society dinner in Brooklyn, and have also read every word of your editorial on "England and America Smalley and Hawley." Your incisive, yet courteous rejoinder to Mr. Smalley will, I am sure, meet with hearty approval from every American reader of the Eagle.

Senator Hawley's expression of profound regret that Mr. Smalley "misunderstands his own country to such an extent," is no douht shared by a great majority of the American people. Mr. Smalley's treatment of his subject is precisely what might be expected from an English point of view; indeed, no Englishman could put it stronger than Mr. Smalley when he said: "President Cleveland launched his war message across the Atlantic," and alluded to our continued perversions of the Monroe doctrine.

After warning America and Americans that a continuance of tho course we are now pursuing is likely to lead to a combination of the European powers against this country, he adjures us and here Is where the English 'of it comes in to put ourselves under the protection of England, "tbe greatest financial nation In the world and the greatest naval power." Mr. Smalley also said: "If we went to war with Spain now there is only a slight probability that we would go to war with only one country." Is this an intimation that England would take sides with Spain? Can it be possible that the the wish is father to tbe thought? Mr. Smalley makes the extraordinary statement that "the powers are convinced that their best policy is to combine' against this country." Is it likely that either France or Russia would join such a combination? On the other hand it is a well known fact that among all the powers of Europe the English government has not a single friend, consequently a combination of the powers" is more likely to be formed against England, and Mr. Smalley would do better to counsel his English friends to cultivate friendly relations with this country. The English no doubt, will scout the idea that they are jealous of this country, yet they have good cause to be so, for these United States are a menace to the financial and commercial supremacy of England, and this fact becomes more apparent every day.

Who would have believed, even ten years ago, that money rates would be cheaper in New York thanxin London, or that London would be borrowing from New York? But this opens up too large a subject for present purposes. What England and this country and all civilized countries need is to look after and foster their material Interests and leave fighting to barbarians who know no other way ot settling their disputes. In a peaceful struggle for commercial, or any other supremacy, the country having the largest resources and the most enterprising; people will win. H. W.

Patchoguer Buys a Texas Cattle Ranch. (Special to the Eagle.) Southampton, L. December 29 A serious shooting accident occurred here this morning. Two children of John Waller were playing with a loaded gun when it was suddenly discharged. The girl, aged 7, received the charge in her face and hands.

The little one's face was terribly burned and she will probably lose both her eyes. One of her hands was shot completely off while the other may have to be amputated. She was taken to a hospital In New York this afternoon. Dr. Halsey attended the unfortunate girl and did all In his power to alleviate her sufferings.

NO CHANGE OF LOCATION. Jamaica, L. December 29 The managers of the Long Island branch of the State Agricultural Experiment Station allege that they know nothing of any movement being made to remove the station from Jamaica to Riverhead. Nicholas Hallock of Queens, one of the state directors, is also unaware as to any such move being in contemplation. The managers of the branch station say: "As much work ia done by this station In Westchester and Orange counties as is done in Suffolk County.

They are all in the district." Jamaica is tho central point of the district and more easily reached by railroad than any other point In the territory. The rumor evidently has no foundation." APPROPRIATIONS DEFEATED. Far Rockaway, L. December 29 At the village election all of the four resolutions to raise sums for the extraordinary expenses of the Village during ifae year 1898 were defeated by large majorities. There were 83 votes cast, 64 of them being a straight opposition to all resolutions.

The total amount called for in the resolutions was $17,100 and this is the first time in the history of Far Rockaway that such an overwhelming defeat of such resolutions has occurred. The cause of the defeat is said to be due to the taxpayers' dissatisfaction with che streec improvements, which are considered very poor for the large amount paid tor them. SUIT FOR 510,000 DAMAGES.

December 29 The Corona Union Free School "has been made a high school by the State Board of Regents. The Principal, Professor James D. Dillingham, has worked hard to bring about the result, and the people oE the village are so well pleased over the high standard to which he has raised the school that a public reception will soon be given him. Professor Dlllinghaim first came to Corona in 1893. He was born In Berkeley, Bristol County, August 18, 18C5.

The rudiments of his education were obtained in the public schools of his native place, and at the age of 15 he entered Bristol Academy, where he was fitted for college. When 17, he became a student, at Amherst College, and was graduated in 1887, standing fifth in his class, and wintring the prize for excellence In German, French and Italian.

Carlln saw the light through the Two New Catholic Parishes Established by Bishop McDonnell AT FLATBUSH AND CONEYISLAND The Rev. Francis Ludeke Appointed Pastor at Vanderveer Park and the Rev.

William Gardiner Sent to Coney Island. Composer Dolane Locked Up on Complaint of His Wife Railroad Employes' Club Ready. Bishop McDonnell has announced tho appointment of the Rev. Francis Ludeke, one of the assistants at St. Vincent de Paul's Church, on North Sixth street, as pastor of the new Catholic Church to be established in Vanderveer Park, Flatbush.

He has also selected the Rev. William Gardiner, tbe assistant pastor of St. Michael's Church, to organize a new parish at Coney Island. The establishing of these new city parishes has been under consideration for some time, and it is thought that the bishop could not have made better selections. Father Ludeke, the new pastor for Flat bush, is well known in this city.

He was born in the Fourteenth Ward 35 years ago, and has spent all his life there. He attended the parochial school and afterward St. John's College, this city, from which Institution he graduated in 1886, with high honors. He completed his studies at the Seminary of Our Lady of Angels, Niagara, and was ordained by the late Bishop Ryan of Buffalo. He was at once assigned to St.

Vincent de Paul's Church, where he was at one time altar boy and usher. The fact that he has remained at this church since his ordination speaks volumes in his behalf, and Father Carroll is even now very reluctant to part with him. He says that Father Ludeke has been one of the most faithful assistants he has ever had. Father Gardiner, who goes to Coney Island, is also a Brooklynlte and was born In this city In 1865. He Is a zealous and earnest worker and was ordained by the late Bishop Loughlin, after a thorough course of study at St.

Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. He was assistant to the venerable Father Malone for two years and was then sent to St. Michael's, where he has since remained. Father Malono at first refused to consent to the transfer of Father Gardiner, but waa finally persuaded to do so. FLATBUSH CHRISTMAS TREES.

L. Hunter, Miss How Two Boys Lost Their Lives on Agawam Lake Life Savers' Vain Efforts to Resuscitate Them. Southampton, L. December 29 Samuel Overton and William Wells, aged respectively 14 and 16 years, residents of this village, were drowned to Agawam Lake here yesterday forenoon, as told in yesterday's Eagle, through falling Into an air hole. The two boys with many others went skating on the lake after breakfast, and about 11 o'clock they left the main body of skaters to skate down one of the southern arms of the lake.

They evidently did not realize how thin the toe was In the neighborhood, and, skating swiftly along without any sense of danger, the Ice suddenly broke under one of them and he disappeared beneath the surface. A second later his companion had also broken through and, after a brief struggle to extricate himself, also sank from sight. The only witnesees to the accident were two small "boys, Howard Bishop and Cecil Fowley. Instead of attempting to rescue their unfortunate companions they were so terrified at the fatality that they skated swiftly off to alarm those at the head of the lake. As soon as they had learned of the accident two of the party, W.

and F. Bennett, seized a clam rake which was lying on the shore and hastened to the spot where the boys had disappeared. There they found atout ten feet of water, and after a few minutes' work with the rake they succeeded tn bringing the bodle3 to the edge of the ice. There willing bands seized them and carried them into the life saving station, where the members of the crew worked vigorously in a fruitless attempt at resuscitation. After employing all the methods known to life savers for resuscitating those taken from the water they abandoned all hope of saving their lives after an hour and a half of work.

The tragic death of the two boys has cast a gloom over all the inhabi'tants, and the greatest sympathy is felt for their parents. Weils had but recently come frob New York and was visiting his sister, Mabel Wells, here. Coroner Nugent held ah inquest yesterday and the jury rendered a verdict of accidental drowning. The funeral of the Overton boy will be held to morrow afternoon at the home of his parents. The body of young Wells will be taken to the home of his parents, Mr.

and Mrs. Irving Wells, in New York City to day, where the funeral will be held. ANTI LIQUOR LEAGUE. Riverhead, L. December 29 A number of prominent Suffolk County preachers and temperance workers met in Riverhead yesterday afternoon and organized the Suffolk County Anti Liquor League.
