ENGINE LEAVES TRACK. Altoona, March 21 The engine hauling the second section of the Western express, due here at 3:40 o'clock this morning, from some cause unknown, left the track at the east end of the Altoona yard and fell over on its side. Engineer Kaufman was crushed in his cab and died a few hours afterward. None of the passengers or trainmen was injured. NAVY YARD NOTES.

Captain J. E. Mahoney, commander of the marine barracks at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, was to day detached and ordered to report to the Navy Department at Washington to take charge of a detachment of men for the Pacific ccast. He will leave some time next week for Washington and upon his arrival at San Francisco will go on board the Iowa, where he will be assigned to special duty. Captain Mahoney has been connected with the Brooklyn Navy Yard but a few months, having succeeded Colonel Huntington when the latter was retired.

No successor has yet been named for the marine barracks. A draft of twenty apprentices will to morrow be taken from the battleships Massachusetts and Indiana, now lying at the Brooklyn yard, to Newport News, where they will be placed on board the first class battleship Kearsarge. The Kearsarge is about ready to go into commission. The naval board of inspection has been ordered from Washington to the Kear sarge to make the official sea trial of the battleship on April 3. Lieutenant George E.

Burd of the steam engineering department of the Brooklyn Navy Yard has by request had his orders detaching him so amended as to relieve him of dutv here on March 31. He will sail from San Francisco on April 8 to go to the Philadelphia, which is now the flagship cf the Pacific station. Lieutenant Burd will be the master machinist on the flagship which is now cruising about South America. Second Lieutenant H. J.

Hirshinger and Second Lieutenant A. S. Williams, both of the Marine Barracks of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, were to day detached and ordered to report to the Navy Department at Washing ten on the 23d, where they will receive orders to proceed to Mare Island for duty. It is believed that these transfers of officers frcm the local Navy Yard to the one on the Pacific ccast are brought about by request of Captain Merrill Miller, late commander of the receiving ship Vermont, who has been assigned to the Mare Island Yard as captain of that station. CAN BE DETECTED.

Submarine Boats Located by Means of Captive Balloons. Should the submarine boat take the place in naval warfare that some nations expect, one of the chief precautions taken by the world's navies will be an immense increase in the number of balloons, with duly trained staffs to work them, carried by war vessels, our own great battleships having already adopted the precaution for years now. The balloons carried by these battleships are of exactly the same material and patte. as those in use in the Army, on.y smaller. They are mostly made at Chatham, England, and' they have a' use far in advance auy mere distance observational purpose, for, though the wake of the submarine boat st'nk deeply in the water can only be traced with difficulty from such an elevation as that afforded by a ship, both such wake and the boat iusolf'can be seen with absolute and tin deviating clearness from a captive balloon.

This is the result of a scientific and optical law, and when ship balloons were first to the practical teet in regard to this matter the results attained were of the most surprising kind. Even at the mouth of the Thames, where 'he water is distinctly cloudy, objects of a much smaller kind than a submarine boat, painted of neutral color, could be seen from balloon with the utmost clearness at i depth ui five fathoms, or thirty feet, though the surface was rough. No submarine boat could in the daytime get within striking distance of a ship with a balloon. Philadelphia Times. A.

COST TO BE ABOUT $1,500,000. Special Appropriation Should Be Sought and Work Should Be Commenced at Once, Says Mr. Boody. A movement for the establishment a large central library iu Brooklyn was set In motion last night by the directors of the Brooklyn Public Library.

While this proposition has been more or less in the minds of all interested in public libraries, it remained for President David A. Boody to start the machinery that will doubtless put many interests at work. This happened at the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Brooklyn Public Library in an informal manner. President Boody said that the work of the library as now being conducted need meet with no interference by the proposition to establish a large centra library, which should be constructed out of a special appropriation or by the sale of specially allotted bonds. He showed that no more money for this year could be looked for from the usual appropriations, and that no new branches could be opened.

This work, he said, would have to Increase from year to year, as larger appropriations were secured. But for the central library building a special appropriation should be sought, and now was the time to act, when other important improvements were being made all over the greater city. While no figure was spoken of as a limit for the cost of such a central library, $1,500,000 appeared to be about the sum the directors had iu mind. Franklin V. Hooper earnestly indorsed the suggestion of President Boody, and said that if Brooklyn would escape the fate of the great east end of London her citizens should arouse themselves and secure for this borough proportionately the same liberal appropriations that are now being made for Manhattan's great centra' library, her museums, parks, botanical and zoological gardens.

Mr. Hooper said he would feel that he was very remiss in his duty if he did not do all in bis power to secure a central library suitable for a borough of the city that as destined in the near future to hold the greater part of the population. He said that people of Brooklyn should take the matter up and compel the city authorities to be as liberal in their appropriations for Brooklyn as they were for Manhattan. Mr. Phillipps said that while the branch libraries, as now conducted, were very important and essential to any system of public reading, yet a great central library was absolutely necessary to make the scheme of public libraries a success.

Mr. Phillipps cited the experience of the large cities of Europe and showed that in every instance the great central library was the feeder and clearing house of the system. He said that he would consider it criminal to allow the present time lo pass without doing something for the future. Mr. MeWilHams, Mr.

Murphy. Mr. Kaufman, Mr. Brush and Treasurer McAvoy spnlte in similar manner. The probj'bilit ins are that at the next meeting of the board a plan of action will he adopted looking to securing sufficient funds to begin the establishment of a large central library in Brooklyn.

VALUE OE FARM ANIMALS. Increase in Value of Live Stock During 1899 Represented S2 16,000,000. The statistician of the Agriculture Department has made some interesting computations as to the number and value of farm animals In the United Slates. On the first of January there were 1. 537.

524 horses, 2.0GS.027 mules. 16,292.260 milch cows, 27,610,054 other cattle and 41.SS3.065 There has been a total increase in value nf the country's live stock during the year 180H of $216,000,000, not including the increase in the viuue of swine, no figures concerning which are at present available. The total value of farm animals of the United States on January 1, 1896, was 010,407. The present value is not less than $2,213, 010.407. The number of horses has decreased largely.

There are nearly 3,000,000 fewer horses in the country than there werr seven years and there are fewer mules than since 1SS6. The average price per head for mules is This is a higher pric than has been paid since 1894, and the was evidently produced by the unprecedented demand for mules by the Spanish American and Transvaal wars.

Broadway, Fourth Ninth and Tenth Sts. N.Y. BROOKLYN PHYSICIANS OPPOSE DR. BUCK'S PLAN Sanitary Law Relative to Tuberculosis Does Not Meet With General Approval. WILL IT BE ENFORCED? Many Doctors Believe That the Regulation Would Cause Inconvenience and Confusion.

Although one physician of prominence In Brooklyn, Dr. Raymond, of the Long Island College, expresses himself in favor of any reasonable effort to control tho spread oi tuberculosis, it is certain that the measures having that end in view, which, have been adopted by the Brooklyn Board of Health, will not have the entire approval of all physicians whose practice a strict enforcement of them would affect. The regulations which Dr. Robert A. Black, sanitary superintendent, is determined to enforce, are expressed in the following circular letter, which has been mailed to all of the Brooklyn physicians: Section 225 of the sanitary code classes pulmonary tuberculosis as "an infectious and communicable disease." Under the provisions of this section phyBlcians are required to report to tho Department of Health the name, address, age, sex and occupation of every case of pulmonary tuberculosis coming under their professional care.

The information thus received is solely for registration, 'and cases so reported are not visited by the Inspectors of this department, nor are they Interfered with in any way. except upon the request of the attending physician. The residences of all cases of tuberculosis reported to this department by public institutions aro visited by medical inspectors, who there give information with regard to the nature of the disease and the precautions necessary to prevent the Infection of others. When residences occupied by consumptives are vacated through the death or removal of tho. patient, the inspectors recommend the renovation required to free them from Infection.

The orders for such renovation are enforced by the Board of Health. Postal cards for the notification of cases of tuberculosis, and clrculars of Information for physicians and for the public, can be obtained from this department upon application. The objection to such regulations is that a literal enforcement of them by the city authorities would cause much Inconvenience and confusion In the homes which they would affect, and it is certain that many physicians will do what they can to relieve the households concerned of the visits of city officials bent upon carrying out the disinfecting processes. This process is an elaborate one All furniture in. the rooms which the patient has occupied must be removed and disinfected under the supervision of the Health Department officials.

The rooms must then be thoroughly disinfected, an operation which lasts for at least a day. However earnest may be the desire to prevent tho spread of tuberculosis, it is certain that in many instances there will be a decided disinclination to submit to the inconvenience which the carrying out of these protective measures would involve. And it is also certain that many physicians will be disposed to co operate in any effort made to clr. cumvent the visits of the city officials not only because of the inconvenience to the members of the household, but because thev will consider that they are fully qualified to see that all necessary precautions are taken without the assistance of the Board of Health' It Is known that certain Brooklyn physicians have expressed themselves to this effect. Dr.

Raymond is disposed to take a rather more conservative view of the situation He said this morning that he had not read tho Instructions of the Health Department hut ho thought there would be little disposition on the part of physicians to interfere with any measures having as their object the prevention of the spread of tuberculosis. "So far as I am concerned," said he, "I ara heartily In sympathy with such measures. It Is coming to be more and more generally accepted by. physicians that tuberculosis Is Formerly A. T.

Stewart TISSOT'S PAINTINGS DEFENDED. A. Augustus Healy Replies to the Adverse Criticism Made by Professor Rauschenbush. A. Augustus Healy, president of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, which is seeking to get possession of the Tissot paintings, was asked to day by a reporter for the Eagle if he had read of the adverse criticism made by the Rev.

Walter Rauschenbush of Rochester. Mr. Healy replied: "I have read his criticisms of Tissot's representation of certain portions of the New Testament, but to me they have very little weight. I should judge that he had heard that Tissot was a Catholic, and. therefore, had approached the study of the paintings in a narrow and suspicious state of mind.

So far as I know he is the first among the thousands of Protestant clergymen and laymen who have found anything distinctively or objectionally Catholic in them, rn point of fact the religion of Tissot, as I know from personal contact with him, is broad and liberal and not sectarian. He is a spiritual man and not devoted to forms and ceremonies. His object in the paintings was a very serious one so serious as to sustain him through ten years of devoted work and was to portray the incidents in the life of Christ on earth with truth and fidelity and make tbem vivid with his' art so that they might the better be made a power unto salvation." "What of the criticism that too much emphasis is laid upon the passion and sufferings of Christ?" "That being the grand climax it was proper that it should be duly emphasized and strongly portrayed. Otherwise there would have been great artistic weakness and the effect of the whole series upon the mind would largely have been lost. I should much rather have the objection of excessive strength raised against the paintings than of excessive weakness." "What do you think of other criticisms that have been made, such as that $60,000 is too much to spend for the paintings of one man?" "I think it is much more desirable than our museum such have a single great and unique work, auch as this series of paintings, than to spend the same amount in a few paintings of the Barbizon, or other schools, Buch as can be seen in the Metropolitan Museum and other museums of the country.

With the acquisition of the Tissot collection, the Brooklyn Museum will be at once distinguished among the museums of the world. It will give to it character and standing and will result in rich gifts of other works of art, for people like to donate works of art to institutions of established reputation." "Do you think the Tissot collection will prove permanently of especial interest and value to the public?" "The dispatch which conveys the report of the Rev. Mr. Rauschenbush's criticisms, says that 25,000 people paid to see the Tissot pictures while they were exhibited in Rochester. I believe the popular interest in them will be permanent and that the galleries of our museum which will' contain them, will be the most crowded of the building.

In fact it was the great interest in them shown by the people and the powerful effect upon their minds produced by them, that first Impressed me with the desirability of their acquisition by our museum. Their interest in the supreme narrative which they so powerfully illustrate will lead them to study these paintings and this in turn will lead them to a knowledge and appreciation of art. They will thus become a means of art cultivation as well as of religious instruction." "Do you think that the churches should especially interest themselves in the purchase of these paintings for the museum?" "I am amazed that they do not with one accord eagerly join in the effort to raise the money needed for the purchase. I can conceive of no more valuable adjunct to the work of the churches nor anything outside the church organization, that would more powerfully stimulate interest in the Christian re ligion. Think of the labor ana money expended in this city iu Sunday school work! A large part of tbiB work is to impress upon the minds of children the narrative of the gospels.

How much their Interest would be stim. ulattd if they could be shown all the incidents plctorially represented with lidelity as regards the scenery, customs, human types and costumes of Palestine." "Do you consider the Tissot paintings really excellent as wonts oi art: "I consider them works of art of a very high character. They are excellent in drawing and composition, full of lire and action, remarkable in the painting of the draperies and the way that these are made to contribute to the expression of the sentiment and movement, and they have a strong dramatic quality. But above and beyond these they are serious and have a serious purpose, and in these days when there is so much that is clever, but flippant and unworthy in art, that is a great thing. So far as I know the slight criticism of them that has been made as works of art have proceeded from those who have no interest in the subject of the pictures and to whom it is rather objectionable, or from those who, while perhaps very appreciative and excellent judges of the Barbizon school, for example, have not learned really to see what is really good in other schools of art than that to which they have been accustomed.

The Tissot paintings have already taken a high rank in the art world, and I believe they will stand higher and higher as works of art in the time to come." TAKING THE CHANCES. It Is Always "Wise to Be Prepared for Emergencies. "I've been making a trip through Kentucky," said the deputy marshal, "and 1 overheard a conversation in a country store one day that amused me not a little and at the same time showed how the sense of 'honor' prevails among all classes in that chivalrous though anti modern state. I had stopped at a cross roads store to get a bit of crackers and cheese for lunch, and while eating it off a keg of nails two women came In. They were, as the clerk informed me later, sisters, and had married respectively Mr.

Thomas Culler and Mr. James Higgins, local farmers among the foothills. After the usual salutations the elder of the women asked to see some dress goods. 'What kind?" inquired the clerk. 'Black said Mrs.

Culler. "The clerk threw three pieces down on the counter. 'What's the asked Mrs. Higgins. 'Eight, ten and twelve and a half cents." 'I ain't shore we want It," said Mrs.

'and I don't want to buy now, but will you save fifteen yards of it for four or five days, or p'r'aps a 'I'm afraid we couldn't do demurred the clerk. 'We are pretty sure to have It any time you want 'Well, we don't want to take no more resk than we can explained Mrs. Culler; you see, Jim called Tom a liar this mornln' in the corn field and one of us is purty shore to be needin' a black dress before the week's out. I used to keep a black dress pattern In the house so's to have it handy, but things has been' so peaceable for the last four or five years I plumb got out of the way of It. Of course, if you can't keep it.

you can't; but I hope to goodness you won't git out before sis or me knows which one of us has got to git a new "At last accounts neither Mrs. Culler nor Mrs. Higgins was in mourning, and I fancy their respective husbands had sunk their differences in the picturesque and perturbed politics of the state." Washington Star. NEWS OF A VICTOR'S'. It Was Carried From Point to Point by Stage Coaches.

With the news of the present war in South Africa published in Scotland a few hours after the incidents occur it is difficult to realize that the system of transmission Is of such recent growth and that It is less than sixty years ago that a writer, relating his own experiences, tells us of the exhilarating scene in Glasgow when the mall coach arrived bearing the news of some great victory, such as the Battle qf the Nile or tho Battle of Waterloo. "On such occasions," he says, "the horses were decorated with laurels and a red flag floated from the roof of the coach. The guard, dressed in scarlet, sounded his horn as they galloped through the echoing streets. Along Gallowgate they went with an ever increasing crowd, till at the foot of Nelson street the coach pulled up, the guard discharged his blunderbuss into the air and communicated the news, which spread like wildfire. Scottish American.

an infectious, rather than an hereditary disease. A child may inherit a tendency to be consumptive; he may, that is, inherit a physique in which the disease germs will readily develop; but this is far from saying that he actually inherits the disease. And It is known that children born of parents who have tuberculosis have escaped the disease as the result of having been at once removed from contact with the diseased parent, and placed in surroundings where they would not come into contact with the disease germs. Such children have been known to grow up healthy and entirely free from any sign of tuberculosis. "Not all physicians accept this proposition, but as I have said, it Is coming to be more and more accepted, and physicians who do accept it will, I believe, be willing that all scientific precautions shall be taken to lessen the chances of infection.

It is my impression that most physicians have no hesitancy about making known in a proper way the existence of any infectious disease." SWING'S HEADLINES. The Professor Wrote Them Himself and Made Much Amusement. "David Swing was a particular man about his copy," remarked an old managing editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean, as he looked over the day's headlines. "We used to publish a contribution from him once a week, on Saturdays, on books, politics anything he chose to write about. He used to write his own headlines, and he was particular to have them go as he wrote them.

"Half the time he had three times as many words as would fit In the column, and then often Just a word or two, that spoiled the whole page from typographical point of view. I used to tell the copy readers to follow his headings as nearly as they could. "One day he stalked in in high dudgeon. 'They've been changing the title of my article he said, 'and I want it stopped." "I had argued with him several times about it, but couldn't make him understand that type could not be expanded, cut or squeezed. So I said, as the easiest way get out of it: 'It's these asinine copy readers again, Professor.

I'll fix a thing can't be helped lay It on the copy reader is the rule in all newspaper offices, of course. Well, the next week I gave orders for them to run Professor Swing's headline lust as he wrote it, no matter what it was. The form was like this: 'POLITICS IN CHICAGO, 'By David "Friday night tha professor sent his copy down, and it happened to be a scathing review of some newly published books which did not meet his approval. The next day readers of the paper were amused and the whole town set laughing by tho professor's article under this headline: 'SOME BAD WRITING. 'By David "The professor missed the joke, and Eugene Field and Dr.

Bristol and others over in the saints and sinners' corner kept their own counsel. "Next week we came out with an article entitled: 'SOME MORE BAD WRITING, 'By David "The Joke by that time was too good to keep, and it was the last occasion on which the professor said anything to me about headlines."
