The new building is in plan equivalent to a rectangle 69 feet wide and 85 feet long, and' it is to be, both in exterior and interior, in the colonial style. The construction is fireproof. There are a basement and three stories.

The front Is of mud process red brick, made so as to be Impervious, with Indiana limestone trimmings. In the basement there are to be commodious racks for the physicians' bicycles when they attend meetings or consult the books or periodicals. The house Is in no sense a club house. It is for business and not social purposes. From Bedford avenue the physicians pass through the main entrance and vestibule to the main entrance hall.

This hall serves as foyer for the auditorium, which the foyer gives through three doorways. A notion of the general architectural treatment is here obtained. White enamel is to be the general finish in the wood work. At the right of the foyer is an office, with stairs and elevator. Convenient to the same entrance hall is a reception parlor, a ladies' room and a cloak room.

The stairways are of marble and iron. The treads are of marble and the balusters of iron in a light design. On the top of the newels will be brass finial3. The auditorium will seat nearly four hundred persons. The presiding officer's and secretary's desks will be finished in white enamel and the opera seats will be of sycamore, finished to closely resemble mahogany.

The walls of the auditorium will he covered with burlap and divided into small panels with white enamel moldings. The light pictures will carry out the old colonial idea and will be old brass. This will be the material used for escutcheons, handles, door knobs, etc. A special feature will be the decoration of the stock room or book room at the rear of the second story. It will have a capacity of 100,000 volumes and will be carefully eafe guarded from fire.

The floor is of cement and the walls and even the doors are of cement. The windows have iron frames and sash and so called wire glass. This glass is so constructed that, if there is a fire near by, the fire may crackle the glass, yet it will not shatter. This prevents the spread of.flro and there is nothing destructible about the place except the books themselves. In front of the stock room is the reading room, occupying the entire front of the build Ing.

The ceiling is 16 feet in height' and windows give ample light. With the fire places, tables, current journal case, card catalogue, cabinet for photographs and for rare': books, three private study alcoves, it can be seen that this room will be the most attractive feature in the building. Adjacent to the reading room is a conversation room, a working room for the librarian and an office for the directory of professional nurses. On the third floor are quarters for the office of the Brooklyn Medical Journal, the official organ of the society. For the use of the sub societies there are two large, light ST.

In days to come when the memories of the Spanish American war are mellowed by the hand of time, and when the men who participated in it have each been given a niche in the hall of Fame, there will be statues erected to perpetuate the deeds of bravery done and among them will undoubtedly be an equestrian statue of Theodore Roosevelt.

This being so, it may be worth while now when the memory of deeds done is still fresh in the minds of men, to record the kind of fiery untamed war horse the Governor rode at San Juan Hill. Just before the Rough Riders left Tampa for the seat of war a friend of the Colonel sent him a horse that was magnificent. He was finely proportioned, he threw his head in the air. his nostrils were distended, his tail and mane were the most beautiful adornments ever beheld and he was easily worth $500. The Colonel looked the animal over and gave a sigh as he realized that he must forego the pleasure of using the animal that just fitted into the story book idea of what a war charger should be and just the kind that would disarrange a whole army when a gun went off.

He gave him to one of the attendants and had him carefully looked after at Tampa while he was away. Then he went out and looked at his two old faithful steeds. which were worth about each, and which would have been fine ornaments for the front end of a horse car, had them put on board the vessel to take to Cuba. The Colonel understood the value of a true, steady friend that even shot and shell could not. disturb.

Only one of these horses got to where the battle was fought, but he was of great value, and now he Is with his companion out at Oyster Bay, doing quiet service, carrying the little Roosevelt children around on his back a sort ot sword turned into plowshare.

THE MEW BTJIXDING OF THE into which the bill was not passed until March 4, 1885, within an now, ox the expiration of the Forty elghtn Congress. The report In the case was a prlv ileged matter and just before Congress ad journed a vigorous effort was made by the Democrats to push It to a vote, so as to oust Wilson, the coutestee, and seat his opponent, Frederick, both of whom were from the Fifth Ohio district. The Republicans were filibustering and doing everything possible to delay the measure, ir the hope that the hour of noon would urreve and thus save Wilson his seat. Much time had been frittered away in parliamentary maneuvering, when suddenly Representative Randall moved that the rules be suspended so as to take from the Speaker's table the Senate bill to authorize the appointment of General Grant on the retired list of the Army. Speaker Carlisle ruled that the motion could not be entertained while another motion was before the House.

It looked as though this would defeat the Grant bill, but just then Wilson jumped up and In a thrilling tone announced that if the House would pass the Grant bill he was willing to be sacrificed for that measure. In an instant the House voted to unseat Wilson, installed Frederick, and then passed the Grant bill in a whirlwind of enthusiasm. As Mr. Frederick was sworn in he at once fell heir to the salary for the two sessions of Congress, as well as to the mileage to and from his home, amounting in all to more than 515,000, which he promptly called for. The House is the sole arbiter of disputed election cases relating to that body and the rules of procedure are clearly and fully laid out.

If a candidate for the House believes that fraudulent methods were employed by his successful adversary, and he desires to contest the seat, he must give notice to this effect within thirty days after the Board of Elections announces the official result of the balloting on election day. This notice is sent to his opponent, together with a full statement of the grounds on which he proposes to make the fight. Thirty days are alloted to the man holding the certificate of election in which to make reply to the charges of the ccntestant and in his reply he must cither admit or deny the charges and state the grounds on which he rests the validity of his election. Ninety days are then given during which the two parties to the contest gather testimony, each side having thirty days for this purpose, with the contestant ten days ad ditional for taking testimony in rebuttal. The rules governing these procedures are very strict and require the party desiring to take a deposition to give his opponent full notice of this, so that the latter may he pres ent.

Alter the time alloted for gathering tlfese facts has expired, the officers engaged In taking the depositions seal them up carefully in an envelope, indorse on the outside what it contains, and forward them to the clerk of the House. The latter official then notifies the contestant and contestee of the fact that he has received this material and instructs them to appear at his office in the Capitol within twenty days for the purpose of opening the scaled packages and agreeing on what portions of them shall be printed for the official testimony. Many an exciting scene has occurred at these meetings between the rival candidates for a seat in the House of Representatives. The disputes over what testimony shall be admitted frequently grow warm and lead to personalities, and sometimes threaten to go even further. Some years ago when the case of Goodwyn vs.

Cobb was being reviewed in the clerk's office, the controversy over the details of the testimony grew very fiery. Tart replies were tossed back and forth until finally Cobb lost his self possession, and snatching up a pair of shears that were on the table he made a rush for his adversary. One of the attaches who was standing between the men discreetly got out of the way in order to give them a clear battle ground, but the clerk rushed up and prevented bloodshed. It sometimes happens that these meetings are calm and peaceful, when there is a mutual agreement to strike out much of the partisan stuff taken during the bitterness ot a closely contested election. Where there is a permanent disagreement between the parties concerned as to what shall be included in the record, the clerk oF the House decides the matter and selects what he thinks proper.

When the matter finally closed out in this way the clerk sends the copy to the government printing office where it is put Into the shape of an official document. Four copies are taken out, two of which are sent to the contestant and two to the contestee, the balance being securely locked up in the clerk's cfilce. It is on the matter thus printed that the men now prepare their briefs. These must be forwarded to the clerk befoTe the Congress meets. One of the first reports made to the Speaker at each session is from the clerk of the House, who presents the record of contested election cases.

As scon as the committee on contested elections is appointed the men get to work, and with high salaried attorneys and experts in this line argue their cases before the tribunal. Owing to the great number of cases of this sort presented at the Fifty fourth Congress. Speaker Reed made a departure by creating two new election committees, making three in all. This was done in order that they cnight clear up the claims of the various contestants within a reasonably short time. The scheme appeared to fail at the last session, and as less than a dozen cases will be considered at the next Congress it is likely that Colonel Henderson, who, in all likelihood is to be the next Speaker, will appoint, but one committee on contested elections.

A. B. A. NO CHANCE MAKA M0N Brooklyn Bootblacks Urged to Unite With Manhattans in Redressing Common Wrongs. Walking delegates from the United Protective Bootblacks' League, organized and incorporated in Manhattan, are making an aggressive campaign for recruits in Brooklyn.

They are circulating pamphlets printed in double column, English and Italian, setting forth the objects of the organization and the wrongs to he redressed. The headquarters in Manhattan are at HIM Pearl street. The bootblacks hold meetings there every night, and a mass meeting every Sunday. Briefly put. it is a strike agains': the petty iyranny of the saloon keeper and the pothouse politician, Uootblacks here and in Manhattan are compelled to pay a tux of $5.50 a year, the $5 being for the chair and the 50 cents for the blocks on which customers rest their feet.

The bootblacks do not kick against the license tax so much as against the exactions that are put upon them in order that they may get ir. First, the consent of the person who occupies the store or building must be obtained. If the stand is in a ferry house or railway station the privilege is worth a good deal and tithe must be paid to somebody. If a bootblack wants to shine shoes in a public park he must obtain permission from the Park Commissioner, and political pull always plays an important part in obtaining it. If a bootblack has a stand outside a saloon the owner usually makes him polish up the fixtures, help out with free lunch during the noon hour and do other little odd jobs that take him away from his business.

In addition to all this he must give free shines to the boss, the bartend crs, the policemen on beat and the politl 'n" helped him gel his license. he trodden worm has turned. Under the leadership of Giuseppe Tronolone, who is something of a politician himself, the bootblacks ui't: trying to what reform can be effected by orguni.ut ion. One point of their crusade is against shoe stores that black the boots of their patrons free of charge. This feature has met wiih some opposition, not only from the bootblacks who hold jobs in these stores, but from outsiders as well.

For instance "Tony," who plys his trade in front of the Eagle Building, expressed his disgust with the movement on this account. "Man have right do whata please owna shop." says Tony, sententiously. Bdt the majority of the Brooklyn bootblacks readily yield (o the persuasions of the walking delegates. They see an opening to "niaka more mon'." AN OUTING FOR ORPHANS.

Conferences of the staff of the Department of Social Economy of the Commission to the Paris exposition of 1900, were held In Manhattan last Wednesday and Thursday. The plans for the Social Economy exhibit were discussed in detail and departmental work apportioned to the staff.

An important and unique feature of the exposition will be a large collection of lantern slides, illustrating social institutions, which will be exhibited by an automatic do vice for projecting five stereoptlcon slides at a time on a ground glass screen without darkening the room. A comprehensive series of monographs will be prepared under the direction of the staff, which will present a brief word picture of the present conditions in the United States and will serve to interpret the exhibit in the varkv sections of the department.

IS Funds Raised Through the Graeco Roman Festival Have Greatly Helped the Work. PLAN OF THE BUILDING. it Is Hoped to Have the Structure Ready for Occupancy by the Close of the Year. It is expected that this fall the new building of the Medical Society of the County of Kings, on Bedford avenue, near Atlantic, and across Bedford avenue from the Twenty third Regiment Armory, will be completed so that not only the society itself but the affiliated organizations will make use of it. Ward Cranford, the architects, are taking a hearty interest in pushing the building to completion, and it is expected that the edifice will be in many respects unique, especially in ita Interior arrangements and decorations.

Dr. Walter B. Chase of 263 Hancock street, one of the trustees of the Medical Society of the County of Kings, who has been active in pushing the new building to completion, said; yesterday that the society hopes to be fully established in the new headquarters before the end of ths year. The Graeco Roman festival that was a feature of last winter's en tertainments, through the women friends of the organization, netted for the building fund between $17,000 and $20,000. This, he said, put the society in a way to realize its hopes.

The society has removed from Its old headquarters on Bridge street, which was too contracted for the library and for the meetings, to Apollo Hall, 102 Court street. There, also, are stored the valuable library ot the Medical Society. Not long ago. Dr. Chase said, the Medical Society of the County of Kings received from the New York Academy of Medicine, a sister society in Manhattan, a mag FIRST FLOOR PLAN Of the Kings County Medical Society's New Home.

nificent gift of COO volumes that were duplicates of books in the society's library in Manhattan. A practical, trained librarian will be employed to be in constant attendance at the PAN AMERICAN EXPOSITION. Advisory Board of Architects to Meet Next Week and Apportion Buildings. (Speeial to the "Eagle.) Buffalo, July 1 Five days from to day the advisory board of architects will gather at New York and there apportion among the nine members of the board the different build ings which will beautify the grounds of the Pan American Exposition, which will be held at Buffalo during the summer months of 1001. It has been decided that of the principal buildings, not counting the buildings which will be erected by the government, the states and the countries of Central and South America, there will be nine, and the nine members of the board will have these great artistic piles apportioned ou: among themselves.

There wiil be many buildings beside these, and It is now probable that the federal government and the State of New York will combine in the erection of a building not before provided for, namely, a fish and fisheries building. AVithin the past few days the matter has been broached by William De C. Ravenal, who is in charge of the division of fish culture of the government Commission of Fish and Fisheries, and he was so impressed with the idea that he immediately went to Albany to consuli with the State Fish Commission. Such a display would be a very interesting one, and as it would, add another important building to the number already scheduled, it is probable that the total number of buildings on the grounds will total up a couple of score, for it is now known that many of the states of this country will have their own structures, and the countries of South America will have splendid representation. TRAINING SCHOOL FOR TEACHERS.

The closing week of the term has been a busy one. The juniors have been officially transformed into seniors, have received their first assignments, and have been busily en gaged in preparing lessons to be given on the reopening of the schools. The dignity and supposed importance of the newly made seniors make it rather difficult to recognize in any of them the anxious juniors of the preceding week. The anxiety of the graduating class was relieved on Tuesday, when returns showing the results of the examination held by the City Superintendent, June IS, were received. Of the 186 applicants for teachers' license No.

1, all but seven successfully passed the dreaded ordeal. The test several examinations by different examiners has ehown that this school continues to stand in the front rank. The ec mmencemem exercises, were largely attended. Mius Emily L. Smith was valedictorian.

The graduates were addressed by Justice William J. Gaynor. According to the regulations of the Board of Education, exercises appropriate to the Fourth of July were held on Thursday in the practice department. The programme included a salute to the Hag and patriotic songs and recitations. The rooms were decorated with wild flowers and the national colors.

Few prettier eights are to be seen than that presented by the bright, happy faced children, singing "The Red, White and Blue" with vim and energy, each child waving a small American flag. On Friday the regular promotions were made. The children promoted from the Sixth grammar grade were sent to Noe. 11, 12 and 45. Mr.

John Greene, a member of the local committee, visited the school during the week to interview applicants for positions under his control. Miss Commins, head of department of No. 39, was also at the school seeking for teachers. The morning exercises of the were conducted by Misses Beckman, Berg, Berry, Bishop and Bortrha fOnly Ten Cases Will Come Sefore the Committee on Elections. Up TWO HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN.

How Some Former Contests Have Been Settled on an Expensive Basis. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth street. Washington, July 1 The time limit for the filing of notices ot contested elections for members of the Fifty sixth Congress having now expired, the members of the committee on elections of the next House can determine just how many cases of this sort they will lave to decide. The right of a member to his Beat is disputed in ten different districts, so that the committee on elections will have that number of cases to dispose of next winter. Until recently, when the papers in the various contests wero prepared for printing, there were twelve notices of contests on file, but 'two of these have since been withdrawn, leaving the docket complete with ten.

These are as follows: William P. Aldrich vs. Gaston A. Robbius, in the Fourth Alabama; George M. Davison vs.

G. G. Gilbert, in the Eighth Kentucky; R. R. Tolbert vs.

A. C. Latimer, in the Third South Carolina; C. C. Jones vs.

T. C. Catchir.gs, in the Third Mississippi; Oliver H. Dockery vs. John D.

Bellamy, in the Sixth North Carolina; Richard A. Wise vs. William A. Young, in the Second James A. Walker vs.

William F. Rhea, in the Ninth Virginia; Richmond Pearson vs. William T. Crawford, in the Ninth North Carolina; John D. White vs.

Vincent Boreing, in the Eleventh Kentucky; Walter Evans vs. Oscar Turner, in the Fifth Kentucky. This is an unusually short list, and is in striking contrast with that reported to the last Congress, when twenty one cases were on file. That record, however, was exceeded in the Fifty fourth Congress, when twenty nine seats were in controversy, the largest number of contested election cases ever presented to a new Congress. A radical change in the method of treating these contests is noted by the attaches of the House who have been on duty there for twenty or twenty five years.

Formerly it was nothing unusual for a Democratic contestant to win a seat from a Republican rival when a Republican House had the decision to make. Now, however, things are different, and it is almost an impossibility foi a man to capture a seat when the opposition party is in power. Except in rare cases, the decision of the House is controlled by the majority, without regard to the merits of the controversy. This is particularly so when the party lines are closely drawn and only a few votes need to be changed in order to the majority. In addition to the list ot contested election cases given above, there were, until a few weeks ago, two others on file B.

P. Chatfield ve. W. J. Talbert, in the Second South Carolina district, and George H.

Higgins vs. Ath elstone Gaston, in the Twenty sixth Pennsylvania district. After the heat of the battle, last November, Chatfield decided that he had plenty of facts on which to make an argument for. the seat, but on thinking the matter over for a couple of months he changed his mind and recalled his protest the other day. Higgins did the same thing, despite the fact that he would have had a Republican majority to decide his case.

He furiually surrendered all I claim to the seat early this month by with drawing his notice of contest. "It is. possible that the or a number of before the last House led Chat and Higgins to determine not to make a fight for a scat in this Congress. Of the twenty one cases presented to the Fifty fifth Congress, eleven were decided in favor of the Democrats, while only three Republicans succeeded in ting in thiougl: this manner. They werj ise Virginia, Thorp of Vir ginia and Aldrich of Alabama.

It will be observed that two of these men, Wise and Aldrich, will have to make another battle this winter in order to hold their places. Seven of the cases were never disposed of, that is to 'say were not voted on. By this action the House permitted the seven Democrats who held the certificates of election to continue undisturbed in their seats, for in contests of this sort the man presenting the certificate of the board of elections of his district is the one recognized by the officers of the House. He has all the privileges of a full Hedged member until the contested case is decided against him. Personal reasons influenced the House at the last Congress in its refusal to vote on the seven conicsts which were not taken up.

The Democrats holding the seats were popular and well liked, and as the had an easy majority the leaders quietly determined to shelve the protests. Anions the Republicans who were turned down in that Congress were John R. Brown and George Washington Murray, the colored politician from South Carolina. The private opinion of most. Congressmen was that both these men were entitled to their seats, but the decision wuit against both of them.

Claude Swanson, ajainst whom Brown made a contest, is one of the best liked men in tile House and he had little difficulty in getting his friends to stand by him. Murray was contc iing with Will lam Elliot for the right to represent the South. Carolina District, but the fact that Elliot's brother is the rector of the fashionable Church of the Ascension in this city had much to do with the vote going against the colored man. An important change made by 1 he house in recent years probably has sonicrliin to do with keeping down the number of contested election cases. Formerly it was the custom to reimburse men making fights for a seat to the extent of their total expenses.

As several attorneys are frequently employed to argue before the house committee and much money is spent in obtaining testimony of witnesses and collecting evidence, this proved to be a costly item for the House. In the fight between Curtin and Yokum over a seat from one of the Pennsylvania districts several years ago the bill of the defeated man was "more than $1:1,000.

I Although a man may be kept, out of a seat by contest for a year or more, if his case is I once decided in his favor he is entitled to the i full salary of a Congressman from the date of the commencement of the emigres? to which I he was elected. As the disbursing officer nf the House is required to pay full salary the member against whom a contest Is being made, it frequently happens that Congress pays double salary for certain districts. Several cases are on record where the vote on a contested election case was not taken mull within a few hours of the final adjournment. One of these was that in which .1.

Hale Syplier of. Louisiana was unseated and Ebingbam Lawrence given the place. This action was taken too late In the session, however, for Lawrence to exercise any Congressional au tBority, as the vote was not taken until March 4, 1875, the day on which Congress adjourned. The tardy disposition or the case was worth just $12,000 to Lawrence, however, for immediately after taking the oath of office be stepped into the room of the disbursing officer and drew that sum of money as his pay as a 'Representative for that Congress. Mr.

Sypher had, of course, drawn also, and In addition captured the allotment of seeds, flowers, books and other perquisites that fell to that district. Is a'fact not generally known that the act which authorized General Grant to be placed I An English Experiment VVhicb la Attracting. Much Serious Attention. BONUSES FOR THE EMPLOYES. A Union of Employers as W11 as men Some Features of the Scheme.

For the solution of the question whether capital and labor can unite for their, mutual interests, the latest experiment is English association. It was devised by E. J. Smith and is attracting the favorable attention of students of social conditions in Oxford and Cambridge Universities, Great Britain; In Germany, France, Norway and Sweden. The prime difficulty in forming, an alliance, under the Smith plan, is in actual costs of production.

The first aim is to. adopt a minimum rate of sale, add a certain percentage for reasonable profits and this forma the lowest selling of any article. Manufacturers bind themselves not to. sell, without consent of their fellows, beiqw this minimum price Workmen are also offered certain, interests in the success of the business and, capital an4 labor being mutually dependent, there is no occasion for strikes, lockouts trade, "disputes. The principal rules of the alliance may ba summarized as follows: A large'', committee of experienced and capable men in a trade agree on an estimate of the cost ol'producing an' article.

Cost taking includes fixing uniform rates for working expensesf fransporta tion, cash discounts, selling commissions, allowaneeR In uuj" ers, afld incidentals peculiar to each trade. to large buyers are granted by tha secretary of the alliance only. This enables the buyer to distribute orders throughout the alliance, if he so wishes. Suspicions of under selling, when reported, are investigated strictly and the violator when proven guilty fined by the general committee. The convicted may, however appeal to the whole alliance.

A monthly magazine, printed by the alliance, prints each investigation, but suppresses As the defendant does not know who the complainant is friction is avoided. Though compensation against loss isr guaranteed to all alliance members in many combinations, not one application for relief has been made. Guaranty is made by each member in proportion to his standing in the trade and he is responsible only for the amount against his name. This guaranty is' not a joint document, and, therefore, there is some risk to the banker who advances the money. This is covered by a payment in cash of 15 per cent, of the amount guaranteed and the fund is invested in the names of two trustees.

These persons have complete indemnity of the use of the1 money. The working of the foregoing rule is that any trader breaking away from an alliance leaves a certain sum with the alliance which if necessary may be used in fighting The fund, if used, is replenished by a. quarterly levy on all members, according to their standing in the trade. Management expenses are met in same way, quarterly. To collect statistics of competition of 'outsiders a committee is at Work' and it' iriakes.

suitable recommendations from time time. Underselling of rivals may be resorted, to, in one particular article, until the foreign competitor resigns or comes to an arrangement with the alliance. No attempt at monopoly or corners is attempted and due regard is honestly given to applicants for admission to an Workmen of experience or capacity are admitted free, but ho pays a small sum for printed information. An entrance fee is charged, in proportion to the capital.any member puts into the business, but this sum never exceeds 250 or 51,216.53. The inducements offered to the work people are as follows: The wages, hours and conditions of labor existing at the time the employers' alliance is completed are guaranteed as Jong as the alliance lasts.

A wages and conciliation board is formed, in Which thf wnrL mon o.v In every, way. This board has absolute ndwer to settle alLdisputes which cannot in the respective works, on terms In keeping with the rules of each alliance. Although this board has not the power to' deal with the old wages and conditions, it has the right to. settle all new conditions, as they arise, purely on their merits. Any extraordinary conditions, already existing, may be brought before the board for friendly advice, hut it has no power to insist upon changes.

In all new questions its power is absolute; and If an agreement cannot be reached, an arbitrator is called in, whose decision must be accepted by both parties. So far, an arbitrator has never been needed. Until the dispute is settled the workmen accept the em plowers' terms under protest. When tha question is settled by the board tho decision is retroactive, so that the delay necessary to adjust the matter Is not prejudicial to either party. Strikes and lockouts are thus made impossible.

"The first rparranp emnnf nV iha carries with it a wage bonus for the work in piupuruon io me amount of the. average advance. Generally speaking, the first advance on the selling price carries it a bonus of 10 per cent, on the wages but this varies with the proportion of the wagesj included in the cost of the production; sometimes It IS OHlv rAT Pfmt Knrinc A pends upon the materials If these ar metal, the proportion of wages is small and the specific value of material large; if the materials used are clays, the wages are large and. the value of the material small. Five per cent, bonus on the wages in the latter case may be even more than 10 per cent, in the former.

Whatever it may be, the first bonus is a fixture as long as the alliance exists. Any additional advance in the 'selling prices must be by the consent of the whole board and carries with it a bonus on the wages. Generally, it Is a. 5 per cent, bonus on a 10 per cent, advance; this, however, is subject to a sliding scale, i. event of a reduction being necessary in tie selling prices from any reason whatsoever, the bonuses are reduced proportionately," until the first bonus is reached.

This cannot be interfered with. So far no bonus has been taken off the wages in any trade under an alli ance. In any trade subject to accidental conV dlt Ions. such as the rise and fall in the metal markets, manufacturers may alter' their selling prices in any way that does not disturb their actual profits, without the bonus being Interfered' with. Only Increase or decrease of actual profits can.

affect the bonus. The employers, having formed a union amongst give their support to trades unionism in everj way. They employ none but unionists, so that the workmen must form a union if none exists. On the other hand, the workmen refuse to work for any but associated employers. If, therefore any member ot an alliance leaves it or is expellee for any just reason, his workmen must leave his employment.

While such a dispute lasts, the cost is shared equally between the two associations. It will, therefore, be seen that workmen secure as their share of the'bargaln a good union, a minimum wage, a bonus op bonuses according to the extra profits obtains ed (the first is a fixture), and a wage board oni which they have equal representation. No excessive profits, which wpuld hinder trade, are possible, as the consent of the workmen to any advance must be obtained. Experience has shown that the workmen are; careful not to demand bonuses, because they believe that they are now being paid all that they can safely claim. Another safeguard against undue profits is that the trades are left open to everyone.

There are no restrictions upon any person entering, beyond a reasonable and proportionate entrance fee to the alliance, SHIEBLEB TSAHEY. Miss Marie F. Trahey was married to Georg F. Shiebler in St. Teresa's Church, on the officiating clergyman being tha Rev.

Left in the Woods. He had imbibed to the point of gentle somnolence and wandered into the Brighton Beach car possibly through some vague hope of the fresh air effect. He was doubled up In a rear seat with his hat toppled over ono eye and his unlit cigar hanging limp from one corner of his mouth. Once his hat fell off and the conductor halted his car, walked back and replaced the hat. The passenger had never moved.

At the station just at the end of Prospect Park it became necessary to change cars. The others flocked off. He remained until the starters had forcibly yanked him down. By this time all other passengers had transferred and the gong was clanging impatiently to start. "Here's your car get on quick!" The starter had grabbed him by the arm.

"Can't fool me old man, hie, too clever, hie; watcher number put off hie wrong man hie this time. Got witnesses all these wit" But the starters had yanked him into a rear seat again and the car was cutting through toward Brighton. For prohibitive reasons the Brooklyn Rapid Transit has fixed a double rate to Brighton and another fare is collected after passing Avenue In Flat bush. The conductor was jogging the dazed one in the side. "Come, pay up there: fare, please." "Zat whatcher want? Hie two fares on de level pard not me m'onter your game forget It." The conductor became insistent.

He met with stolid refusal and rang down the car. "S'alright, hie whatcher number. I'll git off got witnesses whole car load witnesses s'alright, so long, old man gotcher number gotcher witnesses hie." But the car was swinging on toward Brighton and the recalcitrant passenger was straying off in the woods near Pain's Fire Works Plant. REYNOLDS STATUE UNVAILED. Ceremonies on the Spot Where the Major General Was Killed.

Gettysburg, July 1 The equestrian statue of Major General John F. Reynolds, who commanded the First Corps of the Army of the Potomac, was unvailed to day with appropriate ceremonies on the spot where the distinguished soldier was. killed by a sharpshooter's bullet on the first day of the battle of Gettysburg. The oration was delivered by General Henry S. Huidekoper, who was colonel of the One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil War.

The statue is of heroic proportions and is one of three for which the Pennsylvania Legislature made an appropriation a few years ago, the others being those of Generals Meade and Hancock. STONE IS INDIFFERENT. Mrs. Amelia C. Stone, 25 years of age, a variety dancer, residing at 16S Selgel street, in the Eastern District, appeared in the Manhattan avenue police court yesterday to prosecute her husband for alleged abandonment and non support.

Mrs. Stone averred that her husband stayed out late nights playing poker and that although she was in the habit of preparing hot chocolate and other delicacies for him he seemed to have lost all appreciation of his home. Stone pleaded not guilty and was hold in bail until July 11. 1 Ml.
