PHYSICIANS AT THE HEARING. Dr. Rossa Says Outcry That Free Dispensaries Are Robbing Worthy Medical Practitioners Is Fictitious Heated Exchanges of Compliments Communi y' cation of Brooklyn Dispensary PresentedBig Delegation Advocates Bill. (Special to the Eagle.) Aibauy, X. February IT Physicians of the State of New York had a fine opportunity yesterday afternoon of showing what excellent fighters they are over questions which have to do in any way with their professional labors or duties.

It was on the joint hearing held by the legislative committees on public health iu the Senate Chamber as to what the medical men and others had to say. pro and con, on the bills introduced by Asocmblyman Davis of Kings and Senator Sullivan of New York, amending the state charities law re lacing to the licensing and regulation dispensaries bv the saate hoard. The rh vsieP, wpn.nrrnrtnn ho penea to teel toward the bill, tae pros on one hand and the eons on the other. Interruptions from the men present were frequent and sometimes heated and before the committee had closed the session its members had learned a good deal about how the bill question was regarded by the men of healing and also had secured an insight into the causes of seme of the bad hlood which exists among certain of the medical societies of the state. The bill, which has stirred up all the trouble and which comes as a culmination to several years of agitation on the subject, reads as follows: What is a dispensary For the puvpnsc of this act.

a dispensary is declared to be any person, corporation, institution, society, association, or agent, whose purpose it is. either in pendently or in connection with any other purpose, to furnish, at any place or places, to persona non resident therein, either gratuitously" or for a compensation determined without reference to the value of the thins furnished, medical or I surg ical advice or treatment, medicine or op opportunity, tney assist in pauperizing the pa paratus: provided, however, that the moneys used tier.ts nnd do an injustice to themselves and by and for the purposes of said dispensary shall he. medical profession and act against the be derived wholly, or in part, from trns," funds, Policy and desires of the dispensaries.

Last night drew a large audience at the Criterion Theater, where the Invincible Club gave its annual entertainment to the women of the members' families. When the curtain went up the banner of the club was brought to view suspended from the flies and was greeted with applause.

The programme was a high grade vaudeville and was contributed to by Lambert's orchestra, the Metropolitan quartet, Master Edward Nelaton Reeve, in Shakspearean recitations; Sadie Fox, songs; assisted by Master Frank Mc.Ginley, soprano; Crawford brothers, comic specialties; Anna Wilks, songs: Gardiner and Sheppard, knock about comedians; Edgar Forman and Miss Julia West, sketch: Lillie Western, musical selections; V. E. Scahin. humorist; Foy and Clark, sketch; Kline and Gotthold, novelty duets. Each number was encored, which made the programme a full evening's entertainment.

LETTER CARRIERS' DAY. Many Postmen Present at the Food Show Last Night. In addition to the thousand other persons in the old Thirteenth Regiment Armory last night tftere were hundreds of post office employees, for it was letter carriers' day, and they brought with them their wives, their cousins and their other female relations. All seemed to enjoy themselves and sampled everything at the bootfts and listened with interest to the demonstrators explaining how the different foods should be prepared. On Friday night the teachers of the pub will be the guests of Grocers' Association.

There are. according to Superintendent Maxwell, 3,300 teachers In this borough. It is said that many of them will be there. For that day Professor Mygrant has arranged excellent musical programmes, and Mrs. Lemcke will sfiow the teachers, if they want to learn, how to cook the following dishes: Oyster stew, fried oysters a la maitre d'hotel, oysters a la cress, oyster croquettes, shrimp sauce.

BALL OF THE SEYMOUR CLUB. A Large Crowd of Merrymakers Present in Arion HallList of the Guests. The Seymftur Club of the Fourteenth Ward gave a ball last night in Arion Hall, Wall street. The affair excelled in many particulars any similar event ever conducted by that weii known Democratic organization. Nearly one thousand persons were present and dancing was enjoyed until midnight.

Then a dinner was served and afterward the dancing was resumed. The grand march was led by Commtlissloner James H. Tully and! Mrs. Tully. One of the features of the affair were the decorations.

The stairways and hallways were profusely lined with greens, while over the main doorway was the word "Welcome" worked in flowers. The ball room itself was the object of general praise on account of the handsome decorations. Each end of it was a mass of young cedars artistically arranged. The walls on the sides were hung with banners, Hags and bunting. The floor was in charge of Arthur S.

Somers, who was assisted by Richard D. Scott. John J. McKeon, Francis J. Gately and Wrilliam p.

To Act as Judge at an Eastern District Cake Walk. The announcement that the Rev. Fred Bruce Russell, president of the Law and Order Society, would serve as chief judge of a bloomer cake walk was. to a certain responsible for the crowd at Teutcnia Hall, Harrison and Bartlett street, last night. Therefore nearly everyone was disappointed when at 2 o'clock this morning Mr.

Russell positively refused to go on the stage because, ho said, he feared the members of tho oclety wouldn't be pleased to have their president Judge a cake walk. James Clark and J. H. 'SVright, the managers, tried to persuade Mr. Russell to take a seat on the platform, but.

he declined with thanks. Mr. Russell, however was represented by Arthur D. V. Storey, who seemed to be pleased to have an opportunity to act as one of the Judges.

Then the cake walk went on. Only colored men and women walked. Mr. Russell smiled at the bloomer girls as they left their dressing room and he applauded the dancers. When it was ali over tho cake was awarded to Jim Bland and Laura Dailey.

It was 5:30 o'clock this morning before the affair broke up. The entertainment during, the early part the evening was exceptionally clever and the singing and dancing of the colored people was received with applause. MODERN SOCIAL CONDITIONS. Ruskin's Position as an Apostle of the Beautiful Discussed by John Graham Brooks. John Graham Brooks continued his course of lectures on "The Ideals of a New Society" before the Civitas Club yesterday afternoon in Association Hall with Ruskln, exemplifying beauty, as his subjeefc Ruskln, he said, did away with many of the false 'ideas concerning artists, and in this connection quoted a few lines showing Ruskin's opinion of a performance a theater.

"I do not like his extravagance of statement," continued Mr. Brooks, "as, for instance, when he says, in speaking of the writings of Sidney Smith, that 'every final truth about morality and ethics may be found in these Such statements cannot for one moment be taken seriously. Then we find him making a passionate statement on one page of his writings and contradicting himself two or three limes immedately after. I do not like what he says about women nor the attitude he assumes regarding the intellectual training of women, which is similar to that adopted by Milton concerning the education of his daughters, and designed to chill to death all intellectual activity. Nor do I like certain of his dainty and aristocratic tastes.

Ruskin hated ugliness and considered the making of ugliness, even for moral results, the greatest curse. This is why he hated railroads, but in the course of time beauty has developed from such an ugly beginning as the railroad, and we now have the handsome station surrounded by green lawns and flower gardens. Ruskin would have destroyed the railroads and burned up the new parts of Edinburgh and Geneva and all of New York. "But turning from the consideration of this critical side of Ruskin's character let us look at the positive side. His view was that wealth should always stand for social welfare and that services should be honored in proportion as they were of value to the community.

It is the advocacy of these principles that has placed Ruskin in the ranks or the economists of the age. His principle may be thus summed up: First, the production of the thing useful; second, the production of capacity to use it. As we advance in intelligence and education we shall learn to apply this principle of Ruskin, tor It Is a true one. According to our present classification it is difficult to honor people according to the usefulness of their service to the community. The gambler on the stock exchange or in the wheat market is looked upon as the leader in society, but how different is the position of the one who makes the bread from tbe wheat.

In London a wealthy brewer may be considered the social superior ot an of ability and renown and take precedence of the latter at a dinner party. And a dentist, even one to whom his profession is indebted for his scientific research and work is not considered worthy to dine with a heavyweight lieutenant iu the arnry. I could multiply these instances from my own experience and it is exactly the kind of classification that society is making now. further teaching is that we should look to the quality of our civilization, training and education, not the quantity. This is particularly adapted to Americans, to ehow the non importance of sheer bigness.

We boast of our railroads and our facilities and improvements in all directions, but they are important in the degree that their influence is healthful and wholesome. But just as beauty has been in some cases evolved from ugliness, so we may look to education In broadening our views in all directions and the depth of our sincerity to these principles of Ruskin is to be measured by their adaptation to the education of the child." In conclusion Mr. Brooks made a hrief mention of the personal character of Ruskin. OUTDOOR RELIEF OPPOSED. A Strong Representative Letter to the Committee on the Affairs of Cities.

Tho following letter has been sent to the Assembly Committee on Cities To the HonoraWe, the Committee on the Affairs ot Cities: Gentlemen Tn accordance with the unanimous aotlon of tlte trustees of the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities at a meeting on the 14th the ofli cers of this society ask your disapproval of Assembly bill No. 653 providing for public outdoor relief In Brooklyn and Queens, and a ls of a similar bill for Manliattan and the Bronx. We ask that these bills be rejected for the fol lowhve reasxms (1. They are unnecessary. There has been no public outdoor relief In Brooklyn for twenty years and the private benevolent societies and insti tut lon.s have shown themselves able to care for all the cases requiring suoh relief.

(2) Such relief is unwise because, as proved by former experiences in Brooklyn it breeds a spirit of pauperism and leads Individuals and families who are not in need of ass' stance, to cla.lm it as a while the more respectable poor are not reached at nil by It. (3) The system of public outdoor relief is demoralizing to the poor. It leads them to look elsewhere than to their efforts for support nnd attracts to the cities a class of vagrants whose presence increases competition and lessens the opportunities of the hone.st working classes of the city to earn their llvine. Public outdoor relief waft abandoned in Brooklyn In 1S7S. Its stoppage met the unanimous approval of the press ami people of the city.

It was followed by a diminution of the demands upon both the public ani private charities the city as is proved by the table following: 3 tSJO 1 1 I 3. 2 .5 2 2.2:5 5' 2 1877... 1878... 1819... 518,0001 8141,1371 B34.C0 I 57,054 BM.OOOI $20,818 18 821 lfi.iKO 14.7741 40 asoi 9.2118 H.70,; 10.SU In a report made by the secretary of the commissioners of Charities of Kings in 18S4 .1.

it was officially stated that "In 1878, the people took bold of the matter and declared that temjxrary relief disbursed by the municipal authorities was a failure and should be abolished. And from that tlmo our poor in Kings County have existed and thoy have not suffered for one moment for one morsel of food." Without any public demand for its restoration and with all the testimony of experience in favor of Its abolition, we respectfully urge In the Interests of the por themselves that public outdoor relief be not restored. Yours respectfully. ALFRED T. WHITES.

President. WILLIAM I. NICHOLS, Secretary. Bureau of Charities, Brooklyn. A delegation of of local charitable societies will oppose the bill at the hearing to day.

Meeting of Members of the Physical Education Society Marked by Friction Between Manhattan and Brooklyn Representatives Differences of Opinion as to the Physical Training of School ChildrenWork in.

This Borough. Thirty members of, the Physical Education Society ot Xew York and vicinity met last night in the gymnasium of the Packer Institute to hear the report of a special committee on the subject, of "Gymnastics in the Public Schools of Xew York City. This committee consis'ed of Dr. M. Augusta Reuua, superintendent of physical training in Man hattan pmblic schools.

Miss Jessie H. Bancroft, who has a corresponding position in Brooklyn, and Dr. A. L. Barrett.

Very scon after the transaction of some preliminary business, including an affirmative vote on a recommendation of ihe executive committer for the reduction of dues and the election of ten new members, the society got to work on the special report and then friction between the Manhattan and Brooklyn representatives, on the committee developed. Dr. Requ'a. who is a smart little woman, with a diplomatic way, had only fragmentary notes to present for a report as chairman of the ccsMnittee, and she let it be known that the reason for this was thai Miss Bancroft bad failed to attend a stated meeting the committee and had even refrained from appearing at the Packer half an hour earlier than sbe time set for the meeting, as had she been requested to do in order that the report might be made camilfcv fir however, reported for herself and Dr. Barrett on tbe question, retaining her notes anrl expressing the hope that she might be able to complete the report later and send it to the secretary.

The subdivisions of tbe subject under discussion included the present organ izatioti and support of gymnastics in the city schools. The report said in effect that the school gymnasiums of Manhattan were well equipped and adequate. As to the desirability and feasibility of making anthropometric tests and measurements, it said they were to a certain extent desirable and that gymnastic courses should be preceded by a medical examination of heart and iungs, eye and ear, etc. The desiraible form of dress for girls in gymnastics, the report declared, was ordinary scaool dress, with a blouse or s'hirt waist and a divided skirt. There was other matter in the report touching Jhe proper proportion of time between study and exercise and between pray, games and gymnastics proper, but it Involved figures and ratios which have interest mainly of a technical sort for physical instructors themselves.

Miss Bancroft, when she got a chance to speak, told with some emphasis just whv she not figured in the written report of the committee. She admitted that she was unavoidably absent from the stated meeting of the committee and said as to the request from its chairman, that she should come early last evening to fix up the deficiency, that she had too much respect for the dignity of her profession to attempt to make such an important report in half an hour, as had been suggested. She, however, showed a willingness to add to the society's information as to the work of physical training in Brooklyn schools by describing the system in this borough When it S.S J2frvUcef she saW there was opposition, out this has disappeared and physical training in the schools is so popular now that last year there was no difficulty in getting the school board to vote four assistants for the work of instruction. nT Sot through Secretary to ,1 frr r'. vit5lan introductory remark to the effect that be had a letter from Dr uolm not.

cuiitr in apmi im rw report, read the letter which no opinion that tho anhattan schools have not tne adequate means for physical training ot the pup, Is. that everv nunil I oughly examined by a physician at least once I a year and that at least half an hour's exer cany was imperative if the best results were to be attained. then bad an inning in which she declared a belief that the onlv effective way to teach physical culture in the schools was to train the teachers. She was convinced that in five or six years the results from such a system in Manhattan would be sliown to be truly admirable. She told about i.l and Playgrounds connected with Manhattan's schools and the money thev cost.

Miss Bancroft's turn came next. She referred with scarely a suggestion of sarcasm to the tendency of teachers of special branches of instruction to magnify the importance of their work. Such teachers, she said, should take a broader view. Miss Bancroft was disposed to think the public officials generous in their attitude toward physical training in the schools. She declared that as a result of experience it was at least a hopeful sign when they said that there was no money for the work.

There were at any rate. Miss Bancroft thought, reasons to always expect that at least one room could he devoted in every school building to gymnastic exercise that the furniture in the schools should not be such as would conduce to the physical malformation of the children required to use it and that there should be proper light for the pupils. Miss Bancroft emphasized the necessity of testing the sigftt and hearing of pupils and thought careful measurements ehould be made to ascertain their height, so that they might not be compelled to use furniture ill adapted to them. Measurements as to girth, increases and the like, she thought were not feasible in the schools. "Why," said Miss Bancroft.

"I have seen almt a panic created over the baring cf an arm. Dr. Requa wild a sidelong glance at Miss Bancroft told the meeting that so far as concerned measurements to determine the proper styles cif furniture for pupils they were unnecessary in the newer schools in Man li att'in and would become increasingly less so because of the introduction of adjustable furniture wliich enabled teachers to fit the furniture to the pupil. Dr. Requa added that rough tests of sight and hearing were made in the Manhattan schools.

In reply to a question by Dr. Truslow as to the advisability cf special examinations by physicians to determine deformities or weaknesses of pupils Miss Bancroft said she never permitted pupils who complained cf heart trouble or curvature of the spine to exercise without a previous examination. Miss Bancroft delivered ihe opinion that girls should not be tied down to a uniform, but. ought to fiave a chance to make themselves ioc pretty in gymnasium costume. President Smith left the chair long enough lo explain his views the several questions discussed and then dad a motion carried referring the whole subject back to the committee for such a new report, in typewritten form as could aifter discussion and correction by the society tile next meeting he sent to the national association as an expression of the society's view cn 'the questions at issue.

THE PARK THEATER COMPANY. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Having read with interest the articles in your paper concerning the Park Theater Company I would say that I ihink the managers cf the said theater are doing a foolish thing in sending away such a good company of able actors. I am sure that the people ot Brooklyn would patronize that theater more if the management would produce, as "Mr. Kelly" in Friday's Eagle, such plays as "London Assurance," "The Wife," etc. It is not by any means the fault of the company that it ha not succeeded, for it has done its part nobly.

The plays that have been given it to predtico by its managers wtre not the sort of plays that Brooklyn cared to see and did not show its abiiitis for I am sur it is capable of producing much bettor plays than it has done in the past, if it were only given tho chance. I trust you will use your inlluen.ee and try ycur utmost to convince the management of the Park Theater to koep the company and to produce plays such as would interest all Brooklyn theater goers. SUBSCRIBER. Brcoltlyn, February 15, 1S98. Now in Charge of the Bedford Presbyterian Church.

A FATHER'S AFFECTING CHARGE Dr. Robert Hutchins Comes Front Cleveland to Preach His Son's Installation Sermon Dr. Pierson Charges the New Minister to Be True to Himself and to the Doctrine Dr. Foote's Counsel to the People. The new building of the Bedford Presbyterian Church was filled in every part last night, the service of installation of the pastor, the Rev.

William J. Hutchins, being, held. The Rev. Dr. A.

H. Moment, formerly moderator of the Brooklyn Presbytery, ther newly installed pastor, now holding thai po sition, presided and made the prayer ot invocation. A hymn, "Oh, Word of God In carnate," was sung by the congregation, the scriptures were read by the Rev. Williami' T. Holmes and Jtr3.

Katurene Cavannalt; Parker sang "Lead, kindly light." Parker also sang later "The Better Land." The sermon was preached by the Rev. Vrr Robert G. Hutchins, father of, the Rev. W. 3.

Hutchins and pastor of the Woodland Ave nue Presbyterian Church, Cleveland, O. It was a forceful sermon. Dr. Hutchins first said that he rejoiced with the Christian, friends of Bedford Church in the fruition so many hopes and tbe answer of so many prayers. He then took his text from Lukee "John answered, saying unto them ali, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, tbe latchet of whose, shoes I am unworthy to unloose; he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with, fire." Dr.

Hutchins said that in this texi there were to be recognized two kinds of baptism, that of water, suggesting cleansing, repeutixnce and self denial, and the baptism, of the lioly Ghost and fire, suggesting enlightenment, the infusing of the Spirit of God. The first was a foretoken of ablution, the command of God to the ancient priests, "Be ye clean." The minister of God is to be a man of clean hands and a pure heart, must show the. guilt of sin, teach r''ti rift? izn mild tflt A un .3 the prophet and send them forth let us reason together. "It is necessary," said Dr. Hutchins, "a fundamental necessity, for a minister of Jesus Christ lo have a vision ot God, for it is God whh whom he has to deal, and whom lie is to present to the It goes without faying that a minister oE jesus Knrivu sno uiu ue a person sweet, gracious spirit, moral, purged of self seeking and of pride of scholarship and, with a spirit ortwiter denial, and he in communion with.

Him who came not to be ministered unto, but, to minister. He should be much in the place of prayer, ne a man of self renuncla cion, so that he shall not be ashamed when he teaches his people self denial in all things." Dr. Hutchims dwelt upon the second idea' of baptism, repentance and self renunciation not being enough, but a minister should have' his soul illuminated by the Holy Ghost, enwrapped in the Spirit. "The Holy Spirit ifl a marvelous liberator," Dr. Hutchins" said.

"It unshackles a man, emancipates him from sectarianism, emlbuing him with a spirit of wishing to do good to all giving him; breadth and lullness. dLling his heart with' not only love and patriotism, hut that higher quality, philantnropr. The Spirit of God guides" a man into ail truth and illuminates God's word. It has also transmissive power, makes of man a living epistle. To you, my dear son, I command these two baptisms.

God wKl bless you, if to night yoti m'ake a full surrender of your soul as you have never done before, and you, dear "pepple, will feel its influence if you and your minister work together in the full Spirit of God." The constitutional questions were then propounded to pastor and people by Dr. Moment, at tbe conclusion of which he declared the Rev. William J. Hutchins to he the pastor of he Bedford Preshyterian Church. The charge to the pastor was given by the Rev.

Difehur T. Pierson, who emphasized the words of xaul to Timothy. "Be true to thyself and to the doctrine." The charge to the. people, was made by the Rev. Dr.

Lewis Ray Foote, pastor ot the Throop Avenue Presbyterian Church, who has always taken a deep interest in the Bedford Church. He counseled the people to help the pastor in all ways. The prayer of installation was made by the Rev. George E. Gillespie of Port Jervis, formerly pastor of the Bedford Church.

Pastor Hutchins announced that subscriptions to the amount of $6,327 out of 9,500 needed to clear the chapel from deht had been made and said he would refrain from making an appeal in the face of such encouragement. He read a letter from a friend of the church living in a distant place, who had subscribed $250. He then pronounced the benediction after a hymn the congregation. SHOOTING IN A GALE.

There was a lively discussion at the last meeting of the executive committee of tho Military Athletic League, regarding pot hunting athletes. In regimental athletic circles there has recently been floated a number of rumors based on ihe possibility that several regiments will enlist men for the special purpose of winning championships at the March carnival, to be held in Madison Square Garden. It was suggested by leading members of the executive committee that aK rule made making it impossible for an athlete to compete for the championship unless he has been a member of the regiment he represents for six months. This proposition was rejected owing to the short time intervening between the meeting. The Military Athletic League, however, does not propose to countenance the recruiting of men for athletic purposes and the following resolution was adopted: Resolved.

That no person shall be elifrlble to a't The annual 'tourr. am erit meeting of th Military Aiible tlc League, unless he be a member In good jaivdlnK of his ltl tary organization. 'No entries for the anniral tth.nmplcn. meeting" shall be received untes there be filed with the ejerotary cf the M'lii tary A'thletie League a certificate from the camm ar.d Ins ofuce of ithe member making such entries, t'h at the men s. cnvlered lire quall ned to compete un'Jer the foreg oing' rule.

There the Men Are Housed in an Ancient Structure, Which Is in No Way Fitted for Its Present Use Difference Between Annexation and Consolidation as Applied to the Enforcement of Local Ordinances.

(Special to the Eagle.) Dong Island City, L. February 17 With the exception of Long Island City, all ot the borough of Queens is 'now policed by men from either Manhattan or Brooklyn. In Long Island City are. a few patrolmen and sergeants from Brooklyn and Brooklyn men are also found in Richmond Hill 3nd Jamaica. All the other places are supplied by men from Manhattan.

The men in Long Island City are quartered in the two stationn houses which were formerly the property of the Long Island City police. The house in the First Precinct of Long Island City is a comparatively new one and the men who live there have no fault to find with it. The men 'who live in the Second Precinct Station House, however, are bewailing long and hourly the fate that sent them from the comfortable station hoUBes of Brooklyn to the barracks that they now occupy In Long Island City. The station house has been in use as such for only about fourteen years, but it is nevertheless an old building. There are on the ground floor two rooms, one in front, where is the sergeant's desk, and which Is about one quarter the size of the average muster, room in a Brooklyn police station.

The back room is about the same size and is connected with the front room by a large arch. Opening from the. front room is a llttie closet used as a telephone room. Inspector Rhodes makes his headquarters at this bouse, as the more central of the two station houses, hut there is no room that he can use as an office. Acting Captain Lynch, who is in command in Long Island City, Is also located at this station house, and he, too, is without an office.

Deputy Chief Clayton will probably locate at Jamaica, so that he is not worried by the situation. The men sleep upstairs iu illy ventilated rooms. The whole house is in a wretched sanitary condition and is In need of a thorough renovation. It is impossible to keep it clean, and the floor Immediately after the most diligent efforts of the doorman looks as If it hadn't hers swept for a week. The good of the service demand a new station house in the First Precinct and ha.t right away.

Some of the Manhattan officers who have been sent to Queens seem to be laboring under the same delusion that affects so many residents of Manhattan. That Idea is that by the charter the territory outside of New York was annexed to New York. They fail to distinguish between annexation and consolidation. A good instance of this was seen the other day when the sergeant of police in charge in Flushing in an interview with a reporter from an evening paper in Flushing said: "AU the laws, ordinances and regulations which have hitherto been in effect in the old City of New York are still on the statute books and will be enforced until they are repealed or rescinded, or until different instructions are received from headquarters. We shall not be unduly harsh in carrying out the spirjt of the law.

Primarily, of course, our instructions are to prevent Iawbreaklng, but it is th policy of the department to be lenient with offenders until every one is familiar with the new regime." The trouble is that the sergeant is not familiar with the provisions of the charter, which has a section expressly providing for cases of this kind. It is entirely probable that a man in Flushing might dD some one thing which in the eyes of the policemen from New York might be a violation of the statutes and still be strictly within the law. Section 41 of the charter says: "The ordinances now in force respectively in the City of New York, the City of Brooklyn, Long Island City and the other municipal and public corporations and parts thereof hereby consolidated with the City of New Yfirk are, so far as the same are not inconsistent with this act, hereby continued in full force and effect within the former limits of said respective cities and municipal and public corporations, or parts thereof, subject to modification, amendment or repeal by the municipal assembly of the City of New York. Such ordinances may be enforced by and in the name of the City oi New York." The sergeant was entirely right. in saying that the ordinances of the old City of New York are still in force.

They are, but only for the old City of New York, and they may not be enforced anywhere else. Brooklyn ordinances are still in force for Brooklyn, and Flushing's for Flushing. The confusion in tbe minds of the police officials probably arises from the fact that, while in New York, before coming to this borough, they were told by their commanding officers that New York ordinances are still in force. When they left Manhattan they failed to notice the distinction between Manhattan and Queens. No citizen of Queens, however, has raised any question in the premises, for Its officers, under their changed conditions, are having a hard time enough as It is.

With the exception of the two precincts of Long Island City, the policemen have had to find places to board and sleep outside of the station houses. The old local force, made up of men from the respective villages, of course, all lived at home. The New York men have had to find places to live. Inasmuch as there are about 100 men on duty to whom these conditions apply and inasmuch as each man's board costs about S7 a week, it follows that the city is paying $700 a week for board. Speaking of the ordinances of Flushing, recalls an amusing incident that happened to a citizen of that ancient town a few nights ago.

The police ffcere are enforcing as strictly as they may an ordinance requiring all vehicles to carry a lamp at night. The public vehicles of Flushing, as befits a staid and solemn town, are not too modern and are for the most part free from modern improvements. But the drivers are willing to do jjl in their power to conform to the law. So there is now to be seen a most wonderful collection of bicycle lamps, bull's eye lanterns and what not. all doing duty as carriage lamps.

On the night In question a citizen of Flushing was riding hfs bicycle along a car track. In the distance he saw approaching him the bright light of a trolley car. Distances are apt to be deceitful at night, so the rider got off to let the car pass. When the supposed car came along he found that an enthusiastic cabman, in his anxiety to comply with the whole law, had fastened to the front of his equipage a trolley headlight.

NEW HAVEN AND YALE. President Levermore's Interesting Lecture Delivered Last Evening in Association Hall. Association Hall was well filled last evening when President Charles H. Levermore of Adelphi College gave an illustrated lecture on "New Haven and Yale University." which was as ul 1 ot quaint, dry humor and epigrammatic sayings as it was of interesting information chronologically arranged. Commencing with the landing of the Davenport and Eden party, the lecturer showed upon the screen a plan of the Puritan city as originally laid out.

Then were rapidly sketched the events leading up to the founding of the. first college, the perseverance of Pastor Pierpont and the generosity of Elihu Yale. The theological battles of those early days were touched upon in a clever manner and incidentally it was mentioned that an ancestor of ex President Cleveland was expelled from the college for attending the new licht kirk. The brave part taken taken by president, professors and pupils alike in revolutionary days was next set forth, and the pictures of' David Wooster, Aaron Burr, and of Benedict Arnold were shown by the end of the lantern. Coming down to somewhat more modern times the famous literary giants of Yale were referred to, and a tribute was paid to that great Pier pont Dwight Edwards family which has furnished so many scholars, directors and true Christians to the university.

Fights betwen town and gown during the early days of the present century were described in a racy manner, while a quotation from the writings of one who remembered foot bal' as ir. was played in Yale sixty years ago showed that the present exercise'known by ije same name is but oarlor pastime. The cemetery at Xew Haven and the Sheffield Scientific School were described at length, and the lecturer closed by shewing by comparison the green during the days of Davenport, and as it appears to day with its modern rnnGirs. hnit tin ancient mnflolc Tl.n of the university and of the "famous iim i'lrcudeci walks, were excellent, well fitting the fascinating lecture ou topic. au interesting CORNELL'S ACTION AWAITED.

There is also a possibility that Cornell will consent to row at New London, in which case it is id, Yalo will be perfectely willing to ad ni it thacans as a party into the Harvard ra e.

Dr. Van Fleet was also on Hand to proiest. He iid tie represented the legislative ommittee cf the Medio al Society the State of New York. That assort ion was questioned by Dr. Arthur M.

of New York, and Incidentally there was a rather warm interchange of compliments. Dr. Van Fleet read a statement in protest anil Mr. Do representing 'he New York said ib.it there was no whatever fur placing such charitable institutions under th care cf the State Board of Charities, as many of them were supported by private contributions and endowment funds. "As for the which I represent." said he.

"the board of directors behind it are the peers rf any board cf charities in the country." Mr. De Peyster s.aid that it was to prevent treatment nf seme persons who were o.bu:;dan able to pay. wav of Illustration he said 'he knew that th richest woman in ihe world had fooled a famous London surgeon int) treating her daughter gratuitously on the plea thai she was too poor to pay for his services. But olio speaker said every pr oaiKinr. was mken to prevent such occurrences and the percentage was very small.

He referred to the good whic i the dispensaries had done in Now York and how much the deserving poor had benefited by tbc.ii.
