8 THE BBOOEXYN DAILY EAQCLE SUlg DAY, DECEMBER 11, 1892. TWEKTY PAjES BOODT FOE BROOKLYN. GOOD SP0ET (m THE HILL. LEADERS IN WASHINGTON V00BHEES IS mm AERAID a relative of County Clerk John Cottier, who, though a resident and voter of the town of New Utrecht, is a machine leader of the Twenty seventh ward. The details of this nice little scheme havo just leaked out, but a conspicuous politician said lost night that Mr.

Black and his friends would do well to watch the primary closely. Mr. Black is ambitious for political and official honors and compliments, and a set back this time would injure nim materially. Alderman Thomas A. Beard is having the fight of his life in the Nineteenth ward.

Mr. Beard has achieved much political influence in his section and a victory over John M. Ranken tomorrow would mean a great deal for him. Mr. Board has his eye upon tho mayor's chair.

As boss of his ward he might be a step nearer it. With Ranken as boss, Beard must necessarily contlnuo to rattle around a back seat. So Alden S. Swan is to havo no opposition in the First ward, after all the belligerent talk of Andrew McDonald and Godfrey Ward. Mr.

McDonald said last night that so far hs ho knew there would bo no opposition to the regular ticket. Somebody must have laid hands on Mr. McDonald. Ho holds a place in the supreme court. Mr.

Ward has not been heard from of late. Senator P. H. McCarren and Anthony Barrett have just returned from a trip to Tennessee. They visited a celebrated stock farm near Nosh villo.

Mr. McCarren is a horseman. The thrifty Mr. Barrett finds the law, electrio lighting and railroads more profitable. Commissioner John Griffln 'the silent" has recently been in the City of Mexico, attending a health congress.

He had resolutions adopted thero commending Dr. Jenkins for his course in the recent cholera scare. CHARGE BITCH WITH CONSPIBACT. Fayerweatber's Hcira Say He Tried to Appropriate tbe Estate. Complaint in the action of the executors of Mrs.

LucyFayerwenther, widow, and Mary W. Achter and EmmaS. Fayerwoather, cousins of Daniel B. Fayerweather, to set aside the compromise agreement and the main trust of his will, was filed in the supreme court in New York yesterday. It again ties up the $6,000,000 or so of an estate, most of which was to go to different institutions.

The document is ponderous and gives in great detail the course of an alleged conspiracy by which Lawyer Thomas G. Ritch tried to undo the widow and cousins and secure to himself a large part of the residuary estate. The complaint declares that Ritch had been a lawyer for thirty years, and was for ten years the legal adviser of Fayerweather and as such acquired his confidence and a knowledge of the value of his estate. Fayerweather was not a lawyer, it declares. Ritch knew that he was on affectionate terms with his wife and cousins, but notwithstanding formed the scheme to divert a large part of the estate into his own pocket, and to have him almost ignore his wife and relatives.

It proceeds to state that Ritch made himself residuary legatee and promised to dispose of what he should receive among the charitable institutions mentioned in the ninth paragraph of the will, but, that, in fact, he did not intend to do so, and if lie did he knew he was trying to avoid the law concerning trusts in wills. It is declared he corruptly suppressed the meaning of paragraph nine so that he could carry out his purpose. When he drew the second codicil he had worded it so that the testator would believe he was making Henry B. Vaughan a residuary legatee with him and Justus L. Bulkley, whereas, in fact, he only made Vaughan an executor and trustee.

The plaintiffs say that when Vaughan nro cured the codicil on November 11, 1891, wltfiout the knowledge of Ritch, Fayerweather had denounced Ritch as a scoundrel. This codicil is missing and the plaintiffs want an order th3t Vaughan be compelled to produce it. It Is alleged, also, that Ritoh prooured Fayerweather to sign certain papers snowing an apparent intention to arrange that Ritoh and Bulkley should receive the residuary estate, into which afterwards Vaughan came under the codioiL A REMINDER OF THE CHOLERA SCARE.

CiBe is Understood to Do Opposed to a Union With Sew York, bnt Is In Favor of the Annexation of the Towns Why There May Be So Legislation This Winter Points Which the Bayor Will Discuss In His Annual Message Hugh McLaughlin and the City Treasurership Men Whom the Veteran Leader Likes All Through. Work on the Thirteenth Regiment's New Armory to Bo Completed Features of Tomorrow's Democratic Primaries Latest Sews and Gossip From the City Hall.

Mayor Boody hns not yet begun work on his annual message to the common council, which which will be sent to that body on Monday. January 8, 1893. He hns boen thinking out, however, much of that ho will put in it, but he will not get down to work on the document until he shall have an opportunity to go forward with it to completion. The message will bo considerably longer thaa the inaugural one of January last. Mr.

Boody has had ample time sinoe then to study and familiarize himself with the work of the various departments of the city government and the neods of this great and growing city. His honor is fully Impressed by the importance of the duties of government and by the fact that the future of Brooklyn is being largely determined by the events of the present. He wili deal, among other things, with the question of the tax rato which this year has been increased partly on account of enlarged appropriations for 'such important branches of tbe service 'as the board of education, tho department of city works, the department of police and the department of fire. His honor realizes that the rate is high, but ho is that next year lit will be lower and still lower thereafter. The (Increase in tho rate is also partly attributable ito the svstem of improvements carried out by Mayor Chnpin in the way of street ropaving and othor desirable and necessary works.

Mr. Boody knows that a great deal of money was expended for these purposes and that the future was called upon to provide for them, but he also feels that tho city has received and will receive Iub8tantial benefits from them, and that the ex penditure was a good investment. Brooklyn i certainly needs much in the way of pavements, i but the change in that respect from the day that Mayor Chapin took office is a marked one. and Mayor Boody is willing to give tho credit to whom it belongs. In all probability the mayor will not discuss tho question of consolidation of Brooklyn with York city.

Ho says he was not elected on that issue and he docs not believe it is the business of the mayor to attempt to create sentiment either way upon the subject. Ho thinks it is something which may well bo left to the people to pass upon. At the same time, he does not appear to believe that anything like the vast benefits which the enthusiastic advocates of consolidation predict would como from the union of the two cities. There are questions of morality and public policy involved in the greator question which the mayor believes havo an important bearing, but, as has been said, ho will not discuss the matter in his message. Possibly on a future occasion at some banquet or other public gathering, when oalledupon to speak for tho city of Brooklyn, ho will discuss these questions.

But the mayor will have something to say in his message about tho annexation of the four county towns to the city, for he believes that this should be done with as little delay as possible. Brooklyn pays nineteon twentieths of tho county expenses, and tho mayor is opposed to expending any more city money for improvements down that way until the towns shall havo been wiped out and includbd in the limits of the municipality. He has notified the politicians of his attitudo and will fight the bill providing for such expenditure which maybe sent to the legislature at the approaching session. Despite the firm position of the mayor in this matter of annexation, shrewd and experienced observers of affairs are of the opinion that there will be no in 1893. The interests of Cornelius in New Utrecht, and John T.

McKone in Gravesend, are of a character to prevent it. is no use of mincing words. E'urgueson would have enough influence to check tho progress of a bill to wipe him and his friends out jof power, and if JIcKane is opposed to annexa jtlon, does any one suppose tlmt he would be The town of Now Utrecht is a paradise for contractors, and somebody else. The ipowers say there must be improvements oven if ithey do como high. A tax rato of a per cent.

a thing of beauty, it not joy forever. Be jhind all this Is tho great fact A few people here Imade a pot of money and the end is not yet. Ex Mayor Daniel Whitney has boen lurking the treasurer's office in the city hall for several days. Ho expects to bo appointed as Halsey Oorwln's successor, and perhaps he has Ibeen getting pointers on the business from Mr. jCorwin.

When Mayor Boody left his office yes jterday afternoon, for the purpose of starting for Ohio, he had not decided whom he should ap Ipoint. The Eaole said several weeks ago that politicians believed that ex Revenue Col ilector Robert Black would be the next treasurer, They believe so still. This belief is based upon a i knowledge of the fact that Mr. Black is one of comparatively few men for whom Hugh Mclaughlin has a very warm side. No one posted in politics doubts for a moment that tho man whom Mr.

McLaughlin favors will be the man whom the mayor will appoint, assuming that veteran leader will recommend only an upright and competent person. Mr. McLaughlin would, of course, recommend, and the mayor would certainly appoint none other. When Mclaughlin takes a liking to a man he likes him all through. That is the sort of feeling he has for Black.

He felt tho same way toward tho late Sam Powell, whom he made i mayor and controller and county treasurer. upon whom he could always count to an election. Powell almost worshiped ana noiierr isiacK wouiu go any distance for the Big Fellow. Mr. Whitney hold's high place in the affections of the Boss, but can hardly bo put in the class with Black and PowelL Like them ho is taken from the shelf lvery now and then, but it is tho second and not ue nrsc snen.

Tho question of the validity of bond issues laving been settled in favor of tho country, the work completing the new armory for the Thirteenth regiment will be pushed forward. (Testerdny afternoon thero was a meeting of the commission in the mayor's office, at which contracts were ordered as fol ilows: John Guilfoyle, mason work; Wright carpenter work; Wallace iron works, iron work; E. A. Rutzler, steam heat iing; James Harley, plumbing. These contracts will oonsume the additional authorized Iby an act of the last legislature.

The total cost of the armory will be about 3500,000. There las boen so much bungling about this armory uob it seems almost incredible that there can be fa fair prospect of closing it up at an early dav. Begun at the opening of Mayor Chapin's second term, nearly three years ago. it has dragged Its weary length along until one became almost disgusted with the whole business. What with wrangling between members of tho commission and the architect and disagreements between the latter and the superintendent, and rom iplaints of contractors and others connected with tho work, the construction of this armorv is an unpleasant chapter in the history of the city (government a warning to officials hr ro lofter.

fKThe arrangemonts for tho Democratic primaries to morrow afternoon and evening ar; about At one time it looked as if there would be bitter contests in nearly a dozen of the (Wards, but the indications now are that tho strife will be confined to less than a half dozen iof them. Even the Sbovlin Fitzgernld faction in the Twenty fifty ward, which was so noisy in its denunciation of Glendenning's rule, anil so boastful of its ability to down that young lender, hns retired ingloriously from tho field. At all events it has given out that it will mako no light. Perhaps this is because Fitzgerald was fearful lest he should lose his berth in the city works department. He may lose it yot.

But Glendonning will havo his eyes open at the primaries. He concedes nothing to the kickers for not kicking and is only sorry that they did not adhere to their determination to stand up and bo countod. 'They nro known as tho Ocean Hill club," said ho lust night, "and claim to havo 125 members. Why, half of them do not live In tho Twenty fifth ward. Our side will poll at least eeven hundred votes.

There is said to bo a Job put up in tho Twenty seventh ward to beat the regular candidate ior president of tho ward association, Alderman J. J. Black. The independent candidate is Police Justioe Adolph H. Goetting, ex president of the Bushwick club, and tho regulars claim that the organization is working to con itrol the party politics of tho ward.

The report is that favore are to be shown to Goetting in exchange for which support is to be given by his 'friends to James Necson, tho machine candidate tfor secretary of tho ward association. Neesonis Pretty Finishes the Rule on the tittenburg Track. An Even Fight Between the Talent and Bookmakers BUtzen Swerves Under the Wire ana Loses a Race to Burlington Too Severe Service Asked of Mr. Bradley's Colt Berwyn's Clever Victory Entries for Monday's Races and Results Elsewhere. For a good all around afternoon of sport, yesterday's racing at tho Guttenburg track will rank with the best of the season.

Pretty finishes were the rule and very little money was lost on either side. Not that the betting was below the usual level, it was keener if possible than over, but the talent made up its losses of tho early port of the day with a neat little hog killing which was made possible by Berwyn's fine victory in the fifth race. The usual Saturday crowd was in attendance when tho odds were posted for the first event. It was a betting crowd with a plentiful supply of tips which were conduoive of lively tilts between talent and bookmakers. The trnck was lumpy and slow, but this was an improvement over tho mud and slush of the past week or two.

The first round between tho bookies and bettors resulted In first blood for the talent, when the aged Fenolon, who had been backed down to odds of 9 to 10, won handily from Bolivar in a whipping finish by half a length. The field of ten startors was sent away with Bolivar and Entontown setting a lively pace, Fenelon being hidden in the pack, a couple of lengths behind. Entontown soon gave up and Bolivar raced alone to the stretch, where Martin brought up Fenelon. The two made a close fight to the very hut, Fenelon being half a length to the good at the wire. Grayl ock beat Merry Duko, the second cbolco, a head for third place.

They were four lengths away. Honors were more thaa evened in the second race, when the talent plunged on Bob Sutherland, who did good work on tho summer track. He went to the post a favorite at 7 to 5, Gray lock ruling second choice at 2 to 1, the others being out of it in the straight betting. To a straggling start in whioh Indigo was as good as left, the two favorites got off together. Mc Dermott on Graylock, sent his mount to the front after the first few strides, and kept her there all tho way around, although Bob Sutherland came up strong at the finish.

They were a length apart, Belle D. being three lengths away, third. The third race, the event of the day, brought out such craoks as Blltzen, Burlington and Bel Delmonis, Lord Harry and Flattery, Little Fred being scratched. The talent went mad over Blitzen, owing to his recent long string of victories. They 6ent him to the post a favorite, despite the endeavors of the bookies to keep the odds on Burlington and Bel Delmonis down.

After along delay the flag fell with Lord Harry practioally at a standstill, and he was practically out of It Flattery set a hot pace, which Blltzen took up at the turn into the stretch. Burlington challenged him at the furlong pole and the two came up to the stand nock and neck, each iookey striving in vain to get an inch tho best of it. Jones lost his head and took to the whip, a coureo which Is almost suicidal with a sulker like Blitzen. At the first lash ho Bworved to the center of the track, losing enough ground to give Burlington the victory by a nose. The race between the two was a grand one.

Bradley, Blitz en's owner, was hard hit by the defeat and the result was a terrible tongue lashing for Jockey Jones. The race for third place was equally hot, Lord Harry, who covered a large amount of ground, giving Bel Delmonio a hard fight. The latter won by a head, Ave lengths behind Blitzen. It Is claimed among the track habitaes that Bradley had worked Blitzen too hard within the past few weeks, which they say caused the colt's defeat more than Jones' riding. There is some reason in this claim, as in the East two weoks, including yesterday.

Blitzen as won seven raoes and been second in two others, a record which has not been equaled by any other horse on the Guttenburg course. It is about time Blitzen was given a much needed rest. Some amusement was caused during the betting previous to the fourth event, when a well known bookmaker refused to take any money on Ondawa, at the same time advising his friends to place all their money on Regan's colt at the other stands. Those who did so had cause to congratulate themselves, as Ondawa, who sold at 8 to 1. eastly out sprinted Miss Bess and Rochelle, the favorites.

The start was a bad one, Ondawa getting a long lead, which he increasea sumoientiy to allow Mm to win by two lengths from Miss FiBher, who beat Miss Bess by three lengths for the place. By this time the talent had been relieved of most of their wads, but what little remained was plunged on Berwyn. He opened at 3 to 1 on the boards, but a big commission from his owner was ready to buy at any price and the odds soon dropped to 2. Then the talent had its inning, and almost in the winking of an eye 8 to 5 was chalked on all the boards except that of the Jersey club, which clung to 2 to 1. A wild mob assailed this stand, but the assault was met with a confidence by the marker that spoke volumes.

This individual accepted every bet for a time, even going so far as to offer a Dec ot ssouu even that Berwyn would not get the place. This did not disconcert the clamoring mob, however, and the demand for Berwyn tickets became so heavy that the bookie, who is a well known resident of Coney Island, was compelled to make the odds prohibitive. He stood to lose several thousand dollars and it took almost half an hour to payoff winners on uerwyn aiier tne race, utner Doolcmnlcers were also hard hit McDermott kept Berwyn well in check to the stretch, when he sent the colt to the front ana won handily by a length from Gold Digger, who beat Express by three lengths for the place. The winner was entered to be sold for $400 and was bid up to $905, at whioh price ne was Dougnt la Dy his owner. Thorndalo was an odds on favorite in the final event of the day, a mile race with seven starters.

He was heavily played by the talent, owing to his well earned victory on Thuredav. Tasso and Freezer tired themselves out by setting a clipping pace to the stretch. Here they fell back and Thorndale and Glenlochy took up the running, the former winning by two lengths. Glenlochy secured the plaoe, paying 5 to 1. Freozer was third, being beaten in a whipping finish by a head.

Some exoitement was caused early in tho day by the capture of a pickpocket, who was caught in th6 act and hustled off to jail. Following is a summary of the racing: First race Pans $400. of which $50 to second, for 3 year olds and upward that ba re ran four or mora timea at the meeting and not won. J. W.

Just What Was Talked About and What Was Done Has Not Been Dlvuhred, bnt It Is Said That General Clarkson advised His Confreres Not to Antagonize Democratic Organization of the Senate Olher Sotes.

Special to the Eagle. Washington, D. December 10 The Republican leaders who are gathered in this city held a long conference at the Arlington hotel this evening. There were present beside General Clarkson, Warner Miller, Cornelius N. Bliss, General Alger.

George M. Pullman, Estee of California, Joe Manley and Representative Johnson of North Dakota. Exactly what was decided upon at the meeting in regard to senatorial contests in the several doubtful states none of the participants in the conference would disclose, but it was rumored about the Arlington hotel that General Clarkson had advised his confreres not to expend any additional time and money in striving to prevent the Democrats from organizing the senate and that he pointed to the fact that President Harrison in his message had practically conceded the senate to the opposition, and called upon them to make good their promises to the people. It is understood that General Clarkson is on his way to Mexico, and that Mr. Bliss will start for Florida in a few days.

Many congressmen are out of town, and there is an extraordinary lack of excitement about the capitoh Every prominent Democrat who could get away has gone to New York to attend the Reform club's dinner. Senator Teller, who is one of the warmest champions of silver, is very decidedly opposed to the repeal of the Sherman silver law, and looks upon the bill introduced by Mr. Hill as a menace to tho white metal. "I am opposed to any interference with the Sherman act," said Mr. Teller, "for any repeal of that law means the further depreciation of silver.

Of course the law is not what it ought to be and we have always looked upon It as a temporary expedient, but it affords some re liof. Until something better and more permanent is given us tho silver men would naturally be opposed to its repeal. The Hill bill or any similar measure would depreciate silver even lower than it now is and increase the evil instead of remedying it. Mr. Teller thinks there" will be no attempt at silver legislation this session.

Certainly not until after the Brussels conference has reached some conclusion. If that conference," continues Mr. Teller, "does not do anything looking to relief then we must do it. I am hopeful, however, that tho conference will accomplish something, although it seems probable that it will adjourn over until spring. GRAVESEND GOSSIP.

The Senator From Indiana Characterizes as Ab surd the Report That the Republicans Intend to Stand Back and Endeavor by Sly Practice to Dissuade the Democrats From Assaminc the Responsibility of Organizing the Senate. A Pithy Interview With the Hoosier Statesman. WABHifJOTojr, D.

December 10 Senator Voorhees of Indiana laughB at tho statement of Mr. Hale and other Republican senators to the effect that they hope the Democrats will secure control of the senate and that the Republicans will put nothing in their way. The report, he characterizes as absurd. "The idea that the Republicans will stand back and give in nn inch," said the senator, "is as ridiculous as the story that the Democrats aro afraid to meet the issue and organize the Benato. Both of theri are too absurd to receive a moment's thought? Mr.

Voorhees says that instead of fearing to assume the responsibility, the Democrats will take every precaution to secure the grip'they now have on the body. When asked if special effort was to be made to watch the close states where the election of senators was a matter of doubt Mr. Voorhees said that the interests of the party would be watched wherever it had interests and that included the states whore the Republicans were trying to steal the senators. The statement that the Democratic party is afraid to undertake tho revision of the tariff Mr. Voorhees pronounces as an insult to the intelligence of tha men who compose that party.

"There never were truer words spoken than those used in the Democratic platform to characterize the Republican party policy. Wo have denounced it in our platform as a robbery and a fraud and preached it from every Btump in the country." The senate is just as enthusiastic in the matter of the coming revision of tho tariff as the house can possiby be and is, perhaps, more set in its purpose. We will assume all responsibility and are ready to begin to morrow, if need bo. All tho intelligence and wisdom of the country is not in the Republican party, and when that party dies all wisdom will not die, nor will all wisdom have denarted when its ma jority hns departed from the senate. The Democratic party can be depended upon to do two things remove the unjust bur bens of taxation from the necessaries of life and provide the necessary revenues for the government.

The Republicans are prone to talk of our mistakes. We may have made mistakes, but theirs have been crimes. If we were tyros in the science of government, we could not do worse than they, but we will give the people relief from the burdens with which they have been oppressed since the Republicans came into power. The vote of the people at the recent election 8lJvs wherein they put their confidence and that confidence will not be mis placed. M0NTACK WHEELMEN EXTERTAIN.

FEATHERWEIGHTS OUTSIDE THE RING. An Eufflisbmaii illar ittcet Griffin Weir and Carroll Quarrel. Yesterday afternoon Judge Newton of the Coney Island Athletic club sent the following dispatch to George W. AtkinBon, London: "Who is the best featherweight in England to meet Johnny Griffin before the Coney Island Athletic club nbout February Answer." Griffln. accompanied by James Carroll and Nat Howe, called at the Eagle office last night and said that a match with Ike Weir was not likely to be made.

The Coney Island club preferred to have Griffln go up against the best man that could be found in England, thus giving Griffin's next fight an international character. "We have done our best," said Carroll "to bring Dixon to terms. He once said he could best Griffln if Griffln weighed a too, but two pounds is weight enough to frighten him off." Earlier in the afternoon Carroll and Isaac Weir, the Belfast spider, had a bit of rough and tumble in the office of the Now York Illustrated JVeioa. Several boxers of greater or less renown were present when Weir and Johnny Griffln began to exchange criticisms as to their respective fighting qualities. Weir was angry because of Griffin's persistent refusal to light him and he was prompt to say that he was just as good a man the boxer from Bralntreo.

Griffln maintained his side of the argument with all the circumstances he could remember where Weir had been whipped. Carroll finally joined in tho dispute and said, he had seen Weir "quit" in San Francisco. Weir, it is said declared that a lie and branded Carroll as a liar. The immediate result was a stinging right hander from Carroll, which drew blood from Weir's mouth. The latter was just on the point of rising from his chair and, therefore, was not prepared for the blow.

Weir promptly clinched and tho pair went rolling on the floor. They were separated before further damage could be done. Carroll and Griffln soon after loft tho office, and Weir sat down and wrote a challenge in which ha pledged himself to cover any forfeit that any ol the so called champions might post, adding thai there was no need of their looking for "soft thing English champions" as be was the cham pion oi America. Weir was sore in spirit as well as bruised in his face, and vowod to get even for the blow Carroll had given him. Joe Lewis of Boston, who was with Weir, said he would back him to fight anyone of his class.

Great Window Show. An event of general intorest to the Brooklyn public has just taken place in the opening of the new annex to Wechsler Bros. fc colossal store. A capacious new stairway from the rear of the first floor leads to the basement, in addition to the two in tho front of the store. There is now an area of 30,000 square feet on each floor and these premises, though so vast in proportion, are flooded with electric light.

More space means more stock. Every department contains some new attractions. Those Brooklynites who continue to indulge in the foolish fancy that Brooklyn is still a village, and that they must occasionally visit New York for a day's tour of the stores there, should visit this finely equipped establishment of Wechsler Bros, and prove to themselves that nothing in the sister city eclipses it and possibly nothing in the whole country. Tho basement presents an appearance impossible to rival in brilliancy. Standing on the third stair und glancing from one end to the other, tho scene is vivid beyond description.

In the annex portion are arranged the toys, dolls and frames. Here, in a space 100 by 100, with a long series of aisles and counters, is a mammoth toy section, filled with bright, fresh new goods. Those who have outgrown their childhood days must still pause in pleasure before the countless lines intended to amuse the ohildren. The alcoves at the side attract attention. These are now filled with toys, but later, when Christmas shoppers have emptied these sections of their goods, these will be used for the novel purpose of displaying complete kitchen outfits, which can be sold in a bulk to young housewives just going to housekeeping.

The idea will be sure to take. Foreign lands have contributed many novelties to the toy section, which, large as it is, is filled and running over. The doll section alone is worth a visit, with dolls hanging from the celling, dolls of all nations, all sizes and all prioes. Leaving the annex one passes through spaces devoted to the regular basement goods, which includa basket ware, fire place and 5 o'clock tea fixings, carpet sweepers, blaoking cases, piano and banquet lamp ranging from S5.S)8up to 8100, cur glass and art porcelain brio a brae, Royal Worcester, Carlsbad, Bonn and French wares mingle their BOft and rich colorings into a harmonious array. Clocks are always in demand at theso season and these include every varipty.

The silver section, near tho elevator, is a dainty one. Just now souvenir spoons are in constant demand, the supply showing a unique design, with a photo printed in the bowl. One has the Columbus arch, another the picture of Columbus himself and another our own Brooklyn bridge. The third floor is bright with articles suitable for holiday gifts. Among these may be noted smaller pieces of furniture, smoking tables equipped with all the essentials, easels, gilt and silk reception chairs, jewel stands, ottomans and fancy rockers.

Larger pieces of furniture may be found on the fourth and fifth floors. Here also on the third arc Japanese goods, upholstery belongings and a very choice array of pictures. Many of these aro specially framed for gifts, in light greon, pink and white enamel, with Louis XVI garlands and bow knots in gold and tinted flower sprays. The assortment is large, the subjects good and the prices most reasonable. Tho second floor will bo of interest to the shopper ufter useful articles.

The annex portion here has been devoted to women's underwear, tea gowns and wrappers, a worsted section and infants' outilt3. This last department is filled with everything for small children, dresses, cloaks and caps. Dainty bassinets and rattan trunks for baby belongings, with a silk lined tray answering for toilet basket, are some of tho features hero. New importations in tho clonk and suit section tell of their readiness hero to greet those after something new and chic to wear for the holiday house, parties, which will be such a feature. A French basket cloth dress in light brown is edged with sable and mada with a green velvet girdle bordered with jewel bands.

Big puffs of green velvet stand out on the shoulders, while a cape yoke finisher, the upper portion of bodice, also edired with sable. This is a lovely street or reception suit. A bengaline in shaded green and brown is edged with beaver and has for bodice trimming shoulder revers of olive velvet edged with passementerie. The coats here shown are in tho latest designs in tan ana brown, sable and mink trimmed, with the very fashionable wide Watteau backs. The main floor contains one section after another filled with more special holiday goods, to say nothing of the staples in dress goods, silks and velvets, men's furnishings, hosiery and laces.

If the shopper wants to soe a big, big stack of umbrellas, let her look to tho left of the entrance, where they are stacked by the hundreds in every style possible. On this floor also are the jewelry, gloves, handkerchiefs, books, leather and silver goods. The last two sections are remarkable for their extensive lines, and these always contain choice articles, desirable for gifts. Thus passing from floor to floor, from section to section, from one end to the other of this immense and beautifully finished house, we find only first class goods. As a matter of gen oral appreciation of the business progress of this city and as a matter of personal gratification in beholding tho brilliancy of this opening, Brooklyn people, both men and women, will be interested in visiting this store of Wechsler Bros.

fc Co. Such a visit will convince one of tho growing prosperity of the city and of tho perfect and extensive facilities which the big stores have of insuring the comfort of shoppers. The Christmas window display at Wechsler is a really beautiful scenic and mechanical exhibit. The background is a miniature copy of some of the world fair buildings. Off tho right is tho administration building, 18 feet in height; then comes the forestry building, while the length of the window is occupied by a representation of the great machinery hall, with Its turrets, spires and dome.

Ascending the steps are several figures of men and women, which are excellently painted, the perspective, light, shades and colors in excellent keeping with tho subject. In the left hand angle stands an obelisk, a sot piece, around tho base of which are figures of Hons, couchant. Behind stands the electrical building and its annex. This piece is the work of Harley Merry, the scenic artist. In the front of the buildings is a miniature lake.

18 feet in length, which will be filled with water, on it float steamboats, pleasure craft. Venetian gondolas and boats and canoes of ail varieties, from tho birch bark of tho American Indian to tho outriggor of the South Sea islander. Passing in front of this and in through tho electrical building and returning through the administration building appears an endless procession of moving figures, led by Uncle Sam. bearing the motto, 'WovAro tho People." In his wake march representatives of the states of the Union, each bearing the arms of the state it represents. Then follow all tho nationalities or the giono, clad in their respective costumes.

There a dude Irishman, kilted Scotsmen, fur clad Russians, Indians In war paint and feathers. JaDanese and ChiueSL', Arabs and Persians, Nubians and Hot tentots, Hindoos and tartars, French and Germans, all in correct coloring and copied from the best designs. There are a lot of costumed celebrities, including even Lottie Collins, in block and yellow. The whole Is set off admir ably by plants and flowers.
