The British steamer Picqua. which at Quarantine from Mediterranean ports on Friday night, with ihe cargo in her after hold' on fire, left Quarantine at 7 o'clock yesterday and proceeded tinder her own steam up the Jersey flats, where Captain Brown, thinking the fire not yet extinguished entire jy, suiu mat nc intenaeu to rim ner into suohi I water.

The lire boat Robert Van Wyck went, to the I steamer's jsslstance at Quarantine, and re I mained by her all night, and pumping water I into the after hold, until tho steamer settled nearly 4 feet by the stern. Owing to the na Uire ot the cargo, which consists of sulphur. grapes and other general it was feared that the tiro could not be extinguished, and the fire boat was obliged to cease pumping water into the nod, as it was feared steamer might be ubmerged. In the afternoon the Picqua was docked at the foot of Amity street, Brooklyn, and stevedores and longshoremen began to break out her cargo The tire, it was found, had been extinguished before the vessel left Quarantine. Manager Jones said yesterday afternoon that the origin of the fire had not yet been discovered and the extent of the damage to ship and cargo not yet determined.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION. Encouraging Reports by Assistant Com missoner General B. D. Woodward, Who Arrived Yesterday. B.

D. Woodward, Assistant Commissioner General from the United States to the Paris Exposition, returned yesterday on the steam i ship St. Louis. He has been since last April in charge of the Paris office of the United States Commission and will soon return. He expects to divide his time between the New York and the Chicago offices.

He reports en t0 erected bv tnis government have nearly been let and the United States National I Building stands already outlined in graceful KhaI's in tn long line of national buildings I on tne quai 6' Orsay. He said, i navp nof greatly disturbed I the equanimity of those intimately connected with the exposition work On September 21 i the French Commissioner General, M. Plc gui.oereci lor tne lust time omciauy tne Commissioners from foreign nations, and spoke of the harmony existing among all In spite of recent attacks calculated to injure the prospects ot ine great exposition. Let us said he, 'to walk in About the same date the President of the French Republic visited the exposition grounds and expressed satisfaction with the progress. Most of tile buildings are roofed and the tlooring on the ground and gallery floors is everywhere in progress and often more than half laid.

'Ihe monumental entrance at the Pont de la Concord is well delineated; the new bridge, Alexander III. is ranidlv nearing completion the mosaic pavement, plastering and glazing Permanent art palaces are progressing rapidly: the framework of the pavilion of the i cl'tv 0Vparis is in place: the Palace of Social Economy appears to be completed, and; anions the buildings of foreign nations it is' noted that those of Italy, the United States, Hungary and Germany are especially far' advanced. Noteworthy progress is instanced in the Gardens of the Trocadero in connection with the colonial buildings for Russia, Transvaal, England and Algeria. "An interesting feature in connection with, the exposition will be the award of a general prize for life saving apparatus instituted by thp heirs of one of the victims of the La Bourgogne disaster, July 4, 18S8. The regulations for the prize have not been promulgated, but a preliminary draft has been made by Commissioner General Picard.

A prize of 100.000 francs is founded under the name of the Anthony Pollock prize by the heirs of the late Anthony Pollock of Washington, to perpetuate the of their relative, who perished with Mrs. Anthony Pollock in the wreck of the steamer La Bourgogiie. The amount, of Ihe prize is. deposited with the American Security and Trust Company of Washington." On the eve of the departure' of the Assistant Commissioner General from Paris I I I i Ill Just one 3'ear ago, after twenty months of actual test among their own patients, some thirty nine hundred regular physicians expressed their faith' in the New Treatment for Catarrh, Bronchitis, Pneumonia and Consumption by indorsing it as a cure for these diseases over their own signatures. Immediately following this came the announcement by the different Boards of Health in large cities where the new cure was used, that within the past year there had been a reduction of over thirty (30) per cent, in the death rate from consumption alone.

These statements created the most profound sensation among the profession and public at large, for even the best informed medical men have always claimed that there was no positive cure for such diseases; yet, there was more evidence to come, and this of the MOST ASTOUNDING NATURE: Inside of twelve months over sixty of the largest advertising specialists in the country had discarded their old treatments and were advertising to cure by inhalation the most positive evidence which could be given of the great value of the new cure, and Herein Lies the Great Danger to the Public. The owners of this new remedy, in order to show the people that their treatment was entirely different from all others, adopted this phrase in advertising: "Cures by Inhalation." Unfortunately, those suffering from diseases of the air passages did not understand that "Cures by Inhalation" meant the method of applying the remedy, and not the remedy itself; consequently, when others began to advertise cures by inhalation no inquiry was made as to what remedy it was that cured by this method a great mistake, which, no doubt, Caused the Death of Hundreds during the past season, and making it absolutely necessary to state to the public The Whole Truth About Inhalation. For years it has been known that through inhalation alone could the air passages in the head, throat and lungs be reached, yet no successful attempt was ever made by the medical profession to cure these diseases by this method, For the Following Reason Until the discovery of Hyomei no dry air germicide had ever been found which could be inhaled in the air we breathe without injury. Hyomei alone made cures by inhalation possible; without Hyomei all the Inhalers in the world would not cure consumption, pneumonia or catarrh. No better evidence of this can be given than the fact "that out of the sixty one inhalers placed on the market within the last year but two are left, while the use and sale of Hyomei has increased a thousand fold; thus proving beyond all question that without Hyomei all attempts to cure by inhalation have proven failures.

Having made this plain, we would ask you to remember these few facts when in need of a treatment for coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia and consumption. There is but one way of reaching these diseases, BY INHALATION. There is but one Dry Air Germicide that can be inhaled HYOMEI. There is but one treatment for the respiratory organs which is guaranteed to cure, and your money refunded if it fails HTOMEI. Hyomei cured over eighty thousand persons suffering from diseases of the respiratory organs during the past year, and would have undoubtedly saved the lives of thousands more had they but known the truth about inhalation.

f. BOOTH COMPANY, Ithaca, N. Y. said the JWadrigal Singers as a. sejnl chorus or voices, may oe saiu oi iue ujeo gingers as a chorus of boys and men.

The boys include the pick of the church choir soloists in this vicinity, and the men in the chorus are ali well trained singers. Mr. Hall, who has been notably successful in the leader ship of choruses as the concerts of the Brooklyn Oratorio Society, in the past have illustrated, has so wielded the Singers that (heir rendition of the music which would naturally be coupled with their name is thoroughly admirable. They have been heard in Brooklyn before, but never at an Institute concert, and their advent also is awaited with Interest. At tho coming concert the Glee Singers will be assisted by a male quartet made up as follows: Marsham Cockaday, counter tenor; Theodore Van Yorx, tenor; F.

A Parkhurst, barytone, and Miles R. Brace well, basso. There will also be a quartet of brass and drums. The programme is as follows: "Down In a Flow'ry Vale." Festa "O'er 1m; Meadows." lioynton male quartet, "Stars of the Nlffht." Hntuin: bass solo. Miles R.

Klcnaras; tenor solo, I Knyvett; "Allegiance we Swear." Bishop. The fourth concert of the series, to be given on Wednesday evening, December 27, will bring back to Brooklyn another favorite in the person of Emma Juch, the soprano. Since Mme. Juch first sang at an Institute concert several years ago she has appeared at least once each season, and always with increasing popularity.

In fact, there has been no soprano on any of the Institute programmes whose concerts have been anticipated with mors'c nthusiasm. This concert also will serve as the introduction of another new comer to Brooklyn, Miss Lillian Llttlehales. Miss Llttlehales is a 'cellist. She is a young Canadian girl who has studied in this country and abroad and wbo came back here about three years ago to make a name for herself. She has been winning laurels ever since, and it is expected that her first appearance before an Institute audience will be but the forerunner of many other appearances.

On the programme of this concert, aiso, there is to he a barytone singer of prominence, but no one has yet been selected for this place add the programme is, therefore, not complete. The final concert of the series on Saturday evening, January 13, will be perhaps the finest of all, enlisting, as it does, the services of a quartet of singers of a very high rank. Miss Marie Engle will be the soprano, and, though it will be her first appearance before Marie Engle. an Institute audience, she has sung many i in Brooklyn witn the1 Maurice Grau Opera Company of which she has been for several years a prominent member. While Miss Engle this season will continue to sing in grand opera, she has decided to devote some time to concert work, and the Institute members will be among the first to reaa the beneiit ot this determination.

The contralto of the quartet will be Mrs. Carl Alves who for a couple of years has been absent from the concert stage, but who has time well known as one of the best caaffalto singers in Xew York. Mackenzie Gordonfwho last season won such popular success aS' the tenor in the renderings of the "Persian Garden" song cycle, will be the tenor in this quartet, and Gwilym Miles, wnevwas the barytone in the song cycle last year, but who' has been heard with much favor on numerous and various occasions, will complete the quartet.

ISM. STUDY OF FRENCH. The people of this city, especially those wishing to enjoy a trip to the Paris Exposi I tion, have a very rare opportunity to learn French or to improve the knowledge they already have of the language, through the two new departures wisely innovated by the New York French Institute. 200 Joralemon street, opposite Borough Hall. The first is a conversational course for beginners, and the second, a series of lectures on the modern French writers.

Professor' Louis S. Thial ller from Paris, very well known as a teacher of French in Boston and in this city, now director ot the institute, will personally conduct the course for beginners as well as the advanced courses, in which the acquirement of the new language Is made a pleasure and a past iaie. i ta Wedding Silverware in patterns not to be found elsewhere, at factory rates exactly.

NO Otate or National tleCXIOn Diminishes the Interest in the Local Campaign. WHAT THE VOTE WILL PASS ON. Difference in the Manner of Enrollment, for Party Primary Purposes. This is what, is called an eft year in poll tics. It is called eo because there are no state officers or members of Congress to be for.

But to the 10 Democrats and ho are looking for places, to nothing of the candidates of the Pro hibitionist. Socialist Labor and other parties, i it is of course an election or very great importance. The officers to be elected in this borough are fifty two in number. They are, 'in the order in which they will appear upon the ballot, the following: Sheriff, Coutuy Register, County Clerk, County Treasurer and District Attorney, five Civil Magistrates, twenty one Aldermen and twenty one As sem'olymen. The voter will 'also have to pass upon sevsrai proposed amendments to the constitution of the state.

Formerly ail the ballots used in Brooklyn T. ere distributed from tho Election Bureau en Smith street. Now iliry arc sent direct frc.ii the office of rhe primer to the polling places. Tins saves tho bureau much time, but in the old days there was not. one halt" required of election officials that ii required to day.

The law requires the bureau to be opened from 9 o'clock the morning until 5 o' 'lcck in the afternoon. As a matter of fact, it is open almost every night for 'weeks. This is for a double purpose, io accommodate the general publi': and the Election Day officials. Of these latter there have been appointed in Brooklyn a total of 4.12?. or eight to each of the oli election districts.

The eU'ht include four inspectors, ii i i i ii, t.vo poll clerks and two ballot equally divided between Democrats and Republicans, 'The inspectors serve on the day of the pri mary election, on the dav of registration ifi.

For their Elec lion Day services th? poll clerks receive $10 each and the ballot clerks $5.

The pay al lowed, particularly to the ballot is none too much They are required to go to the Smith street bureau r'or examination, then again to swear in. After election they must to the bureau for their pay card and later to Manhattan for their money. In all lour trips, in addition to the trip to the polling place on Election Day, are required. This means 50 cents car fare, and if the man is working by the day. a considerable loss "of time, it is largely lo save these men this loss that the bureau is kept open so many nights.

A WHOLE CITY IN ITSELF. Regular Departments Enlarged and New Ones Added to Insure to Patrons All Conveniences. Expansion Is the motto of the Joseph H. Bauland Company and within the past few months this popular Fulton street house has been expanding with a thoroughness that is certain to meet with the heartiest approval from its numerous patrons, who are the gainers thereby of many extra conveniences. To morrow will witnes the formal opening of the extensive addition to this already large department store, the necessary alterations for which have Just been completed.

The additions include the incorporating of a large store immediately adjoining on Fulton street and a much larger extension on Bridge street. The total gain in selling space as the result of this recent expansion is 30,000 square feet, thereby permitting the enlargement of many of the regular departments and the annexing of a few not heretofore included in the list. Mention must be made first of the new departments, each one ot which is sure to meet a demand on the part of the Bauland Company's patrons and is an evidence of the enterprise and progressiveness that hay.e characterized the policy of this firm since its introduction to the business world of Brooklyn. The cafe luncheon room, which started upon its career a couple of days ago, is one of the most important of these departments. On the second floor of the new building a spacious section has been set apart for luncheon purposes and fitted up in ihe latest and most approved style.

Tables intended to accommodate small parties of shoppers have been conveniently arranged and supplied with the best of tableware and linen. The room is well lighted and has every appearance of a dlningroom in a first class hotel. Adjoining is the serving room, equipped with the most modern cooking utensils, steam cooking apparatus and tables and also well lighted. A bill al fare covering everything in a range from the simplest dairy dishes to a several course luncheon is to be offered every day and at prices that fully deserve the title "popular." A specialty is to be made of this luncheon room and none but the best ingredients will be used in the preparation of the various dishes. Supplies will be obtained from the extensive grocery and meat department on the firth floor of the main building a department that has materially increased the popularity of Bauland's.

While intended largely as a luncheon place for women shoppers the facilities of the cafe are not to be reserved for the fair sex alone. The success that has attended the Informal opening gives promise of better results when the fact of the cafe's existence and the extent of its resources become generally known. On the same floor as the cafe is a new re ception ana reading room for women, hand tomeiy iurnisnen ana supplemented by spa I eious toilet apartments equipped with every convenience. visitors to the reception room will be supplied with letter paper and envelopes and every facility afforded to those who wish to avail themselves of this writing privilege. Manicure, chiropodist and hair dressing parlors under the direct supervision of Dr.

H. Mayer are included in another new department. The parlors are very attractively fitted and arrangements have been made for first class service and attendance at all times. A new charge office where books of account are kept and accounts opened with responsible parties is located on this floor. On the floor above is one of the most attractive additions to the department list, namely, the photograph gallery, modern in every respect and one of the finest in Brooklyn, with separate dressing rooms for men and women and a beautifully furnished reception room fronting on Fulton street.

Also dark rooms for developing and sundry other workrooms on the same floor, as well as one of the largest and best lighted operating rooms in this borough. A shoe department exclusively for men and the extension of the men's clothing department come undeT the classification of addi tions, and in the basement of the new building waiting rooms for masculine customers only are located. The enlarged book, music, stationery and fancy goods departments on the mezzanine floor call for special mention as their stock has been extensively increased and includes the latest and best in the respective divisions. Manicure and chiropodist parlors also under the direction of Dr. Mayer are to be found on this floor, with a corps of experts in attendance.

An arrangement that will, without doubt, be greatly appreciated by the men patrons of Bauland is the setting apart of the entire main floor of the new building for the display and sale of men's wearing apparel, underwear, hosiery, furnishings, clothing, hats, caps and shoes. The particular advantage of this arrangement is due to the separate entrances to the department, one on Fulton street and the other on Brfflge street. Thus the men practically have an exclusive store and are freed from the necessity of entering the regular establishment and can avoid every possibility of becv.i'ng entangled in a bargain counter rush. The floor arrange of the new building is such that the second floor is entered from the balcony of the general store and the third floor of the addition is reached from the regular store's second floor and the customary elevator service answers admirably both for the older building and the addition. Throughout the establishment there has been an increase of stock and special displays of new.

goods are to be seen on every hand. The millinery, is one of the departments that has been greatly benefited by the enlarging of the store, and the new parlors are an Immense improvement upon the old quarters. Fitted up in the most artistic manner and equipped with all conveniences, they admit of a fine display of the latest ideas for fall and winter millinery. In the pretty room set apart for the imported designs there is to be found a number of handsome hats, chief among which is a directoire model made entirely of black chenille with folds of taffeta silk on the upper brim: Amazon plumes, rosette of mousseline de soie and cut ostrich pompoms, formed the trimming. Another handsome hat on the picture order was of black velvet, with high crown trimmed with bands of antique satin; French corded rosettes of antique satin and half a dozen plumes were used for adornment.

A dainty mink turban was effectively set off with rolls of tucked maline at one side and mink tails fastened with steel buckle In front Nearly the entire second floor or the old store is devoted to the display of women's and children's wearing apparel, and in the cloak and suit division there is to be seen an exceptionally extensive collection of Jackets, wraps and tailor costume. A separate skirt particularly noticeable was of black broadcloth with, a deep border of applique finishing the long tunic. In the suits the handsomest model was of national blue broadcloth, lined throughout with turquoise taffeta silk. The skirt was made with the new panel back and was beautifully embroidered in black, as was also the jacket, which was finished with Jledlci collar. The dress goods, laces and neckwear, furs.

gloves, ribbons, hosiery and underwear are departments possessing particular interest, and in the basement the china and bric a brac were never more complete or handsome, and the housefurnishings leave nothing to be desired or suggested even by the most exacting housekeeper. At frequent intervals throughout the day concerts by pianists and singers of talent and note in the community are given in the music department, and these impromptu musieales are greatly appreciated by all patrons. The addition to the Bauland store, to be opened to morrow, is but a preliminary to the expansion that is contemplated by this firm, and it is said on good authority, that it is a question of but a short time when the Joseph H. Bauland Company will acquire possession of the property on Duffleld and Bridge streets, adjoining their present structure, and thus will have a department store which will be the equal in extent of any other in this vicinity. Newcomers, comparatively, in the business world of this section of Greater New York, the Joseph H.

Bauland Company have shown their ability to hold their own with their older associates and have steadfastly continued to expand in popularity as well as store space since the date of their arrival here until the present time. Madrigal Singers Engaged to Give the First in the Opening Series. SOME ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMMES Soloists of Reputation to Be Heard Frequently During the Season. Glee Singers. For the opening series ot concerts under the auspices of the department of music oC the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences this have been planned which equal, if they do not Emma Juch.

excel, in promise of artistic excellence any series of similar concerts ever given in Brooklyn. The tirst of these recitals will be given on Wednesday evening, October IS, and the succeeding dates of the series are Wednesday. November Wednesday, November 22: Wednesday, November 27, and Saturday, January 13. All the concerts will be in Association Hall, at Fulton and Bond streets. The first concert, on October 18, will be given by the Madrigal Singers of New York.

The Madrigal Singers are a mixed semi chorus of sixteen voices and although last season was the first in which they gave public concerts, they have already come to be regarded by many competent critics as the most perfect organization of the sort in this country. Frank Taft. who is well known as an organist and conducter in Manhattan, is the leader of the Madrigal Singers and under his direction last season they rendered a number of remarkably interesting and little sung compositions for four voices, as well as some of the most beautiful and best known four part music. The unique feature about the organization is that fivprv mernher is a soloist of reoute most of singers holding important church nosi tions and being heard frequently in solo work in concert. The result of the combination of such superior artists is.

naturally well worthy of attention. The coming concert will be the first ever given by the Madrigal Singers in Brooklyn and the series of concerts planned Frank Taft. chorus are as follows: Sopranos, Miss Marie Donavin. Miss Kathrin Hilke. Miss Martha Miner, Mrs.

STORE NOTES. The extensive alterations recently com pleted by A. A. Vantine 877 879 Broadway, Manhattan, render this house, which long ago earned the title of "The Orient in. than ever worthy of a visit of inspection.

New attractions have been added to the many, which all lovers of tba artistic and the beautiful know are always to be found here, and the multiplied treasures from the various countries of the Far East gain additional beauty from the opportunity afforded for their disDlav In a larzn area than ever before. The curio room is especially interesting, for here are shown the rarest and best examples of Oriental art and workmanship in an environment that serves to enhance their individual charm. Bronzes with a greenish glint that establishes their claim to antiquity, solid silver cloisonnes in the most exquisite coloring, rare old ivories whose delicately carved designs tell of days of patient toil by master workers, Japanese bronzes, vases of the most artistic form and decoration, Satsuma, and a case of the beautiful blue and white porcelain of Japan are but a suggestion of the extensive collection to be found in this apartment. The section devoted to jewelry has been, considerably enlarged and the visitor who can, refrain from lingering in admiration about the cases where are displayed rare barbaric jewelry of wonderful workmanship and combining silver, gold and precious stoues in th most unique designs has not a correct sense of the artistic and beautiful. Persian chatelaine bags" in keeping with the demand for Persian trimmings for dress and military use, are temptingly beautiful, with top3 and chains of rose gold studded with topazes, amethysts, turquoises or other precious stones and the gold net purses with tops in, Turkish design are exquisite.

The superb stock of Oriental rugs and carpets, most of them far too beautiful to be used as floor coverings, is the finest that has ever been seen at this emporium, while the antique Persian hangings and embroideries suggest unique and attractive schemes for interior decorations and the array of cushions make a woman long for countless oozy corners, divans and couches and a lengthy purse, so as to take full advantage of the display. New lines have been added In dress materials, and the beautiful colorings in brode satin, crepes, the Vantine silks and the exquisite Persian velvets give but a hint of the resources of this apartment. The Chinese tea room, decorated anew, is lovelier and more restful than ever, and. taken altogether, Van tine's never possessed greater charm than at the present day. Ones behind its doors the bustle and excitement of the great Western city are lost sight of and imagination transports all visitors to the far off Eastern lands, whose products ana arts are so fascinatingly displayed in every corner of this Broadway, establishment.

It Is to Be Given a Place in the Collection of Likenesses of Brooklyn Club Presidents. There has just been added to the Brooklyn Club's fine collection of portraits of its former presidents an excellent likeness of the late David M. Stone. The picture is given to the club by the Rev. "William H.

Hubbell, a son in law of Mr. Stone, and is the work of Joseph Boston. It will be hung among the portraits of former presidents in the reception room on the first floor. Friends of Mr. Stone have pronounced the likeness an excellent one.

Certainly the drawing is skillfully executed and the coloring is well handled. The full front view of the face is shown and the expression is lifelike and characteristic. The accompanying reproduction of the portrait is made from a photograph taken in the club house yesterday morning. The club's gallery of portraits of presidents includes Henry E. Pierrepont, the first presi David Iff.

Stone, From the Portrait Made for the Brooklyn Club by Joseph Boston. dent, who held the office from 18G5 until May 19, 1S68; Henry R. Pierson, from May 19, 1868, to April 12, 1869; Benjamin D. Silliman, from April 12, 1869. to March 17, 1890; David M.

Stone, from March IT, 1890, to November 10, 1S90, and Henry W. Slocum, from November 10, 1890. to March IS, 1893, when he was succeeded by General Benjamin F. Tracy. The plan is to make the gallery complete and this will mean the addition of four more portraits, thoso of General Tracy, who served until March 13, 1894; Henry D.

Polhemus. from March 13, 1894, to March 12, 1895; Joseph C. Hendrlx. from March 12. 1895, to March 10, 1896, and Colonel William Hester, the present official head of the club.

Both in proportions and in Keneral artistic excellence the group is already the most and interesting collection of portraits of its kind In the city, and Its value will of course be much enhanced by the addition of the four pictures which will make it complete. It is probable that at a meeting of the club this week definite arrangements will be made for the most effective display of all of the portraits. Mr. Stone will be remembered as one of the best known citizens of Brooklyn. He was for a long time editor of the Journal of Commerce, and was prominently identified with many of the public, social and benevolent institutions of the city.
