a.chAO": Dvort a PhelpA Shelley's "Inheritance Divine" Given at New York Avenue Church. Harry Rowe Shelley's new sacred can tata, "Inheritance Divine," was rendered laBt evening In New York Avenue M. E. Church, New York avenue and Dean street, by the church choir, augmented by the choral classes ot Carl G. Schmidt.

A large number of people assembled In the church and each ot this Urge number can truly testify that, with but one exception, the work of both quartet and chorus was excellent. The one exception occurred In one of the choruses, and might have been avoided had Carl Schmidt arranged his chorus so that they could nave kept their eyes on thel leader. This little error will probably not happen again, and In the fall, when Mr. Schmidt resumes his work, Brooklyn Ites may look forward to opportunities hearing a chorus which may be classed with the best choruses in the city. Shelley's new work is difficult and tuneful.

It calls for careful solo work. Each member of the quartet gained much Justified applause last night for the way in which they sang these solos. A brief organ recital by Carl Schmidt preceded the cantata. He played two numbers by Gullmant and the I'll grlms Chorus" from "Tannhaeuser." His work, especially in the Gullmant num bers, was of a high order. H.

Brooks Day. organist of St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, presided at the organ during the rendering of the cantata and closed the concert with a postlude in flat by Lashner. The soloists were Miss Ethel B. Falconer, soprano; Miss Suzanne Zimmerman, contralto; Arthur 0.

Oyster Bay Official Finds Job a Hard One to Hold Sown Refutes Some Charges. (Special to the Eagle.) Glen Cove, L. June 13 E. J. Hurley, the official dog catcher of this vicinity, is having some strenuous experiences In the discharge of his duties.

Mr. Hurley took the job, he Bays frankly, because he needed the money, but he had no idea what a difficult matter It would be to please everybody. Those people who are not grumbling because Mr. Hurley, they claim, has taken their dogs, are putting up a kick because be has not gathered in the dogs belonging to the neighbors, Mr. Hurley says he is trying to do his duty without fear or favor, hut ac knowledges that he is having a brd time.

Asked about the charge that he had taken a dog out of a woman's arms, Mr. nuriBT gave a runny version of th stnrv He said the woman was walking alon ac. companled by two unmuzzled dogs. Asked if they were hers, she said no. but when the dog catcher's assistant took one of them up she snatched it out nf hia nrma and gave him some "back talk." Mr.

Hurley further added that the stnrv that he untied a muzzled dog and gathered It in is not correct. The law, according to printea copy carried by the dog cstcnea, aoes not reauire that he shall take the dog. He can simnlv renort to the local police Justice, that a certain party has a dog which Is allowed to run at large without muzzle. The justice in structs the constable to brine the nartv before him, and If found guilty a fine of or nve days follows. It Is understood that in a case of this kind the dog catcher can collect his fee for lodging the information.

There is a striking change on the Bite ot what was formerly Coney Island Creek and the salt marshes that formerly existed south of Coney Island avenue and west ot Neptune avenue.

A few years ago speculators bought the marsh and the cars of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company filled it In with refuse from the city and the surface was graded off. The following summer vigorous crops of sunflowers, goldenrod, yellow daisies and weeds appeared. The material was composed largely of organic matter necessary to plant life. This gave some one the Idea of turning the waste land to use, and now a good deal of the place is covered with crops of beans, lettuce and other vegetables. They form a pleasing contrast to the marsh on the other side of Coney Island avenue.

Some years ago the city filled in a lot of land under water around Rikers Island, and from the refuse there sprung vigorous crops of melons, cucumbera and other vegetables. The Charities Department saw the point and has farmed the place ever since. At the present time additional land is being brought under culti vation on the Coney Island Creek site amd will be soon ready for planting, and, ot course, there is a good market on hand for all the fresh vegetables that can ge grown thore.

Hempstead. L.

June 13 Through a visit made by Assessor J. Huyler Ellison to Albany, for the purpose ot appearing before the Supreme Court in reference to a certain corporation assessment in the town of Hempstead, the State Tax Commission has had Inspectors Billings and Tobin at work for several days. conjunction with the assessor, the object being to investigate the property of gas, electric, telephone and telegraph com panies, to ascertain It any are entitled to reductions In their assessments and whether they are evading proper taxa tlon by too low an assessment. The State Tax Commission bears griev ances concerning assessments, as do local boards, and when Assessor Ellison heard that a local corporation wanted to re duce its assessments nearly $60,000 he got busv and appeared before the com mission to object. The assessor was able to state that in a proceeding before a magistrate In the town of Hempstead, an employe of tte corporation had stated that, he bad certified to a report which would tend to keep down the company's special taxes.

In looking over the corporation prop. erties. Assessor Ellison and the inspec tors found forty-seven miles of telephone and telegraph lines to which no one seemed to claim ownership, although in spection OI aeeas snowea luat a piumi-nent corporation purchased the real estate of the former holding company. The assessor and Inspectors nave not yet completed their labors. With data secured in reference to tne plants as sessed for franchise taxes, and the as sessinents made more In accordance with the value thereof, it is believed the town will have Its coffers enlarged to quite an extent from the special taxes.

NEW SURVEY MADE. Glen Cove Home Rule Advocates Will Have Another Try at Incorporation. (Special to the Eagle.) Glen "Cove, L. June 13 The survey which has been made ot the territory which It is proposed to petition to incorporate is now completed. It has been made by William H.

Bowne. The in corporation committee has not given out the details with regard to the territory which is included in the district and will probably not make the map public property until It has been Hied with the supervisor. It Is understood, bow-ever, that it eliminates portions of the territory which developed the strongest opposition to the recent attempt to incorporate. Besides the map it will be necessary to file with the supervisor the consents ot persons representing one-third of the taxable valuo of the territory, a petition Igned by twenty-flvo resident taxpayers and a census of the district. The census now being taken, and the matter of getting the consents and the signatures also being acted upon.

While the incorporation committee does not expect to act hurriedly, it is getting everything necessary In shape that action can be taken at any time. BERGEN BEACH OPENING.

SELECTION OF WITNESSES, Object of the Recent legislation by Congress Regulating Pro-' cedure. Since the new laws passed by Congress regulating the naturalization of would-bs citizens of the United States have been put in force several Interesting questions have been raised about the way applications for admission to citizenship are to he made out. Recently the question was raised in the Supreme Court as to the necessity of having to watt a required time If new witnesses are offered In sub stltutlon for those appearing on the ap plication, the latter falling to appear when cited to do so. This question was submitted to Supreme Court Justice Kelly for a determination, and his decision Is ot much interest to applicants for natur allzatlon. Two witnesses, selected by the appli cant, join with him in verifying his petl tlon for admission.

But on the final hearing, as it often happens, they do not appear with him for examination, which Is done before the justice sitting in Spe clal Term for that purpose. The case se lected for a decision was where the ap pllcant, in that dilemma, offered two new witnesses, who possessed the qualifications set out in the statute; but by rea son ot their substitution for the original witnesses their names had not been advertised for the required time. On the objection by the United States district attorney Justice Kelly holds that the pub llcatton of the witnesses' names for the required time to be a necessary part of the reform method adopted by the gov ernment. "I will not say." says Justice Kelly In his opinion, "that a case may not be presented where, notwithstanding the failure to advertise the names of the witlesses, the proceeding may still go on, and if the applicant and the new witnesses fulfill the requirements, the applicant may be admitted. "But the intention of Congress clearly to give publicity to the application and to advertise the name of the applicant and his witnesses with the other particu lars specified In section 5, so that all reasonable safeguards may be thrown about this Important matter.

Not only that the public may know of the application and, if good reason exists why it should not be granted, may communicate with the court or the Federal authorities who are charged with the duty of Investi gation. The public should certainly be interested in these cases, for we cannot admit applicants pro forma or by wholesale methods, conferring upon them this privilege so Important, not only to the applicant, but to the community, If gov ernment by the people is to mean what it ought to mean. In these latter years, and especially in cities, conditions have changed so radically, and there is such a flood of application for admission to citizenship wllh the resulting privileges, not only the all Important right to vote, but the many other privileges enjoyed by citizens, that Congress has been compelled of necessity to provide for additional scrutiny and care in granting the franchise, and the statutory requirements appear to be plain and reasonable In their character. "Another object to be gained appears to be the furnishing of the names of applicants and witnesses to the federal authorities so that they may. during the time of advertisement, examine into the merits of the applicants and the witnesses and verify the statements in the I know of -no good reason why the court should interfere with this reform in methods of naturalization.

It may be that cases wly. be presented where; for some particular or special reason, the requirement of posting names of witnesses may be dispensed with. "The obiect of the statute is to make sure that the applicant Is possessed of the statutory requirements and mat ne will make a good citizen. If a case should arise where it is shown that post ponement will inflict great hardship upon an applicant, or perchance result in denying him citizenship, and where the fact of his qualification and the Identity and qualifications of his new witnesses are made without question, I think the court might so find despite the absence of advertisement. Of course, no unreasonable obstacle should be placed in the way of a respectable man possessing the statutory qualifications.

But, except in these few cases of special exigency, I think the better way is to follow the procedure laid down in the act of uongress. me app" rations nhnulrl not be dismissed, but post poned for such time as may enable the posting of the names as required by law, or as suggested by Circuit Judge La-combe, an applicant may furnish with his application the names of several witnesses who may be summoned In case the attendance of the original witnesses can not be procured upon the flnaj CONCERT WAS A SUCCESS.

A large amount of work has been done preparatory to the enrollment of new members for the coming season by the fluid secretary and the office force. One hundred and forty-four new members have been enrolled, their membership to date from September 1. As the growth of the Institute was very rapid following the removal of the Institute from Washington street to Fulton street, we may expect a growth of the Institute on the removal to the new Academy the coming year of from 40 to 60 per cent. The annual budget for the year 190S-9 has been prepared and laid before the executive committee. It shows total estimated receipts available for current expenses of 8247,216.39."

All of the rooms In the hall have been engaged for the coming summer session of the laboratory, and the registry of students is larger than at any time since the registration was limited to students of university grade.

Seven shares of stock in the Brooklyn Art Association have been transferred to the institute in exchange for life tm-bershlps. Messrs. McKim, Mead White, architects, have been at work during the year the plans of the completed museum 'building. The present structure represents approximately one-eighth of the entire building, and the plans now In process of preparation in the architects offices are for the remaining seven-eighths of the building. The work planned for the coming year in the new Academy of Music Building will exceed in value and interest to the residents of Brooklyn anything that the institute has been able to offer in preceding years.

U. S. IN WOOD BUSINESS. Navy Department Starts In at th Local Yard With Auctions of Waste The United States Navy Department has decided to go Into the kindling wood business and the box business. Heretofore, with one exception, it has been the custom of the local Navy Yard authorities to give away old packing boxes, excelsior and the refuse from the woodworking shops.

An ex-emDlove of tha yard some months ago left the yard to go into the business of carting away such refuse and old boxes for the purpose of selling them. It is said that he 1 has made considerable money from this practice. A few days ago a letter was received at the commandant's office protesting sgainst the giving away of such material. The letter was referred to Washington, and the word received In reply that all empty boxes and small cuttings from tAs woodworking Bhops should henceforth be sold at public auction. While this may be the proper method of disposing of refuse, according to many old employes who used to secure loads bf wood for the it is Tint an economical one from the standpoint of Uncle Sam.

Some five or six years ago at auction was tried. This material was piled up on the Cob Dock during a period of almost half a year. Hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in labor was expended In Its accumulation and and, In addition. It proved to be a constant fire menace to the 'magazine and other buildings on the dock. At the auction that was held, the large sum of 10 cents per cord was offered and the material knocked down for that price.

A cord was estimated to contain two. wagon loads, so that 6 cents a load was paid by the successful bidder. The en- 1 tire accumulation netted but $35.. After, this experience the practice of giving, away the material was revived, for agaiuai. iue proceeas ot tne sale tne cost of accumulating the material was over-' whelming.

For Instance, at least one truck was employed continuously In col- lecting the material and transDortlna it to the Cob Dock. The contract price -per-team Is $5.60 per day. and to every truck employed In the yard two helpers are always assigned at $2 per day. so that theJ total cost of cartage and collection was computed at $9.60 per day. The proceeds of the sale, therefore, were more than overbalanced after a week of accumulation; yet the process of collecting went on for months.

A great pile of packing boxes may be seen alongside of the clothing factory, and next to the building of the depart- monf nf n.nifl.l... n.l nln.1.4n boxes may look innocent enough in them- I selves, but they are really a serious fire; I menace, as they contain quantities of ex- celsior. A jackie or a marine or an em-ploye who may be enjoying surreptitious- 1 ly a few puffs of a cigarette or cigar snipe might carelessly and hurriedly throw awav the butt upon occasion among these boxes, and start a conflagra tion, While boxes and wood are no longer given away, quantities of sawdust are thus disposed of. This Is gathered in a great cupola that is connected with the sawmill, and four or five individuals secure passes several times a week for hauling away the accumulation.
