Quality and price satisfy all who try City Official Say There Is Nothing New in Engineers Report. The report of the three engineers appointed by Mayor Low to report on the Poulson plan for the relief of the Bridge crush wao discussed among officials to-day and it was generally agreed that the conclusion reached by the experts waa a complaint to Bridge Commissioner Lindenthai because be suggested the four additional loops shortly after he took op the question of Bridge relief. There are two objections to the scheme. The first was that the loops would' have to be installed and paid for by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, and they claimed that the thing could not be done nntil the stairways -were taken out and the tail awitch of the elevated tracks moved forward over Fark row.

The second objection came from Herman Ridder, of the Staats-Zeitung, who elnimcd that if any position of the Bridge. structure was moved across Park row it would interfere with the light in his offices. In view of these facts the report of the engineers in favor of the plan came as a surprise, also that they claimed originally for the plan suggested by them. The failure to suggest anything that can be carried out has revived stories of the moving platform proposition. The main objection to tjris was made by Mayor Low on the gronnd that it would necessitate the payment of two fares between Brooklyn and New York.

There was some talk this morning about the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company entering into an agreement with the moving platform company and issiang transfer tickets from the trolley car to the moving platform for one fare. This, however, was merely talk, and it is pot thought that any definite stops' have been taken to bring about such a combination to work for the acceptance of the moving platform idea. ROOT'S RETIREMENT DOUBTED. Friends of the Secretary Do Not Believe, He Will Leave Cabinet. WASHINGTON, Oct.

story that Secretary Root is to resign from the Cabinet some time next spring, fiiffis no confirmation -here in fact or opinion. No one, not even his personal friends." has ever heard him intimate any intention of resigning. On the contrary, it is a well-founded belief here that it is his ambition to succeed Secretary Hay in the State Department, "should circumstances make it necessary for the latter to give up his portfolio. Mr. Root's assignation of his present place conldjwtdiy be considered a step toward tWsgoal.

Speaking of the story, a high official "of the administration said yesterday: I never heard olsueh a thing. Of course. I cannot say it is not true. I know that Mr. Root gave up a large income to accept charge of the War Department.

I do not know his former income from his law practice, hut I have heard it estimated at $100,000 yearly. But he relinquished it cheerfully and. patriotically. Mr. Knox did the same thing; probably in his case the amount of his annual earnings was even more.

However, having made the sacrifice, nothing has occurred, of late, to change the conditions, Moreover, Mr. Root has always taken the most intense interest in his work. Although at times a very jfiek man and forced to indulge in temporary respites from his task, he has never manifested any Inclination to quit. His health of Ffltq hits heeir better than at a by time jn the1, past three years, and! never was there less cause Jn believe that he is planningan escape froaf public life." 4 CORD MEYERS AUTO STOPPED.

ConrtMatlal Neat Week. The trial of Lieutenant Griffin, of the Fourteenth Regiment, which was poet ponod Monday night becsu.e of the death of Mr.

Hotrhkm, wife of Major Ilotrhkm one of the officers detailed ss a member of the court, will lake place next wov Quaint Tmnes and Vers From Days of Little Lera and Simple Life. Tlioma Whitney Surette gave a lecture recital last night in Association Hall, be-' for a large audience, under the auspice of (be Brooklyn Institute. The subject waa The Ballads and Dances of Merrie England, and (hat it touched a sympathetic chord was evident from the beginning. Mr. Surettq impressed upon his hearers the fact that he could give but a portion of the lecture to an audience that waa with- yj out receptive mind.

Mr. 8nrettes method of lecturing Is unique. He tell people what they ought to see, in music, makea them tee it, and then, after all, makes them think they saw it unaided. He does not take music solemnly, but as a companion of many moods, and interpret these moods after his pwn charming fashion. -Folk said, springs not from schools, but from the nniversal aspiration toward the ideal that exists in every sane and healthy mind.

I wont say here that this striving is stronger among the more ignorant than It ia with you; I cant say it in the very face of yon; however, I may think it. Ter appreciate what it waa, at the time the earliest of it that la known came into being, one should understand the atRte of things existing at. the time of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth cen-(Jiries. There were no newspapers, little or no communication between villages, and the whole life spent in hard work, with music and dancing the only relaxation. It is possible to find such life to-day in English villages, far from the railway.

Here the songs are everything except religion, and to gome of the villagers they are even that. Who Mwhe the Ballads Authors of the old ballads are generally unknown. The music is the crystallization of different phases, sometimes into bits of incomparable beauty. Music ia the simplest mode of expressing feeling, as it needs no extraneous vehicle. It is the fluid, plastic, indescribable outpouring of what is in the heart.

The other simple mode of expression literature was denied to these peasants aa their Vocabulary waa limited to 206 or 800 words, and they could neither read nor write. So literature was the property of the churchmen mainly. Mr. Surette said that it ia remarkable fact that all nations, at certain similar stages of development, are at about tha same plane. This was proven by finding myths a)mot precisely like those of the Niebeltingen Ring In South Africa, where It ia probable communication had never existed, or, if so, thousands years ago.

He desired his bearers to read John Fiske's -Myths and Mythmakers in connection with thhr course of lectures," as he would often have occasion to refer to it. Folk-lore songs, he said, ail bear a certain resemblance, yet each ia strongly colored by racial characteristics, and English songs are sturdy, active and about actual things. lie quoted several funny examples of the preciseness of statement, one being: It was the third day Of August, the eighth month of the year," about which he said, "there is not mnch poetic effusion, but then it is easily understood, and that is more than can always be said about poetry. However, he wished it understood that these remarks apply but to the early period of English song, in the glorious period there are1 no more glowing songs are mainly of courting, hunting and -the aea. It is quite wrong to have piano accompaniment to them.

One should have a barrel and a fiddle the barrel to sit upon and the fiddle to play on two strings, in the base and the air, when one can accomplish it. The fiddle should also be used for the old English dances, which were contrasted with those of modern times, on polished floor and with decorous step. Among the peasantry to-day, he ia the best dancer who can lift his partner the highest and put her down farthest. Stewart A. Trench Sings.

Mr. Surette was assisted by Stewart A. Trench, of Manhattan, a baritone, who entered wholly into the spirit of the quaint songs, with their odd and simple accompaniments, and brought out all that was in them, being rewarded with laughter and clapping. He gave first The Lass of Richmond Hill," then With Jookie to the Fair, and then one of the oldest known songs, Richard of Thomtondeane," in which the ardent lover saya he can sup-, port a wife because he can raise enough on his farm to car for her, or, as he put it, I'll feed ye as fat aa my mammy's old sow, but the girl refuse hia dazzling offer. Other sung were The Friar of Order Gray.V'Barbata Alien, The Vicar of Bray," "rrimrose.Day and "It Was a Irever and His Beside playing the accompaniments Ito-y thesis Mr.

Surette placed the following dances: "The Flow-man, Highland J.ad." a reel; "De'il Amang the Tailors, and gavotte, which he thought was imported from France. Next week, Tuesday, Mr. Surette will give Italian Folk-Music. i i imt i rv Requisitions Iuea. HARRISBURG, -Oct.

Cat WUMf tftft ropQtfftft wrftilf yOQ Nfcit, Controller Expected to Here Difficulty In Securing Reductions in Departmental Demand. i When the Board of Estimate meet next Monday and begins the hearings on the provisional budget for 1903, it will be confronted with material increases in nearly every department estimate. From the present size of the budget it is believed that Controller Grout will jiave difficult piob-lem on his hands -to keep it lower than this years Budget. 1 The total of the estimates which have been filed so far in the Controller's office is This does not Include the estimate of the Board of Education, which, it is believed.

Will amount to something like $23,000,000, or the money which mutt he provided to pny the interest on the city debt. The total increase in the estimates amounts to $5,238,116.95, 8nd a high official in the Finance Department said that he wonld not be anrprised if it reached eight or nine millions when ail the estimates were in. Judging from the increases in the individual estimates of the city departments, it seems that even these arejfiservative figures. The present total Jof the 1903 budget figures is only half of what the budget was for 1902.. If the 'same rate I of increases prevail among the estimates that are still to be filed with the Controller, it can safely be predicted that the total increase in the provisional budget for 1903 will be nearer $11,000,000 over that of 1902.

Controller Grout has been stating right along that the 1903 budget would be lower than this years. He plainly said that each estimate would undergo considerable pairing before a final amount was allowed, but people who understand budget making are wondering how Mr. Grout can wipe out an $11,000,000 increase without interfering seriously with the work and plns of the various heads of departments. Commissioner Foniks, of the Charities Department; Bridge Commissioner Linden-thal. Police Commissioner Partridge, Health Commissioner Lederle and the Park Commissioners made provision for great improvements, and extending the work of their departments next year, with the sanction of the Mayor, and it is believed that they will not allow Mr.

Grout to dash their cherished hopes to the ground simply to satisfy his desire to make a. record. The Charities Department has prepared plans for the reconstruction of many of the city's charitable institutions, which are in a wofuily dilapidated condition. It is highly essential that the Park Department is allowed the increase, as the money is necessary for the maintenance of the many small parks which were authorised by the Board 6f Estimate during the past summer. Police Commissioner Fartridge desires an Increase of $874,000, of which at least $120,000 must be allowed him to appoint 150 new policemen to fill in the broken ranks of the department in Brooklyn.

The magnitude of the citys present financial obligations may be easily seen by comparing the estimate of the Board of Education of this year with the entire, budget of the cits of Brooklyn in 1898. For educational purposes for 1902 in 'the entire greater $19,000,006 Was required, whiid" the budget for Brooklyn for the year mentioned, covering county and city to only SHE LIVED ALMOST A CENTURY. Woman, Who Remembered Incidents of War of 1812, Dead is Manhattan. Almost 100 years old, that is, 99 years, 1 month and 7 days, Miss Frances Maria Frost died on Monday the home of her nephew, Isaac G. Frost, at Madison avenue, Manhattan.

Miss Frost was born in Poughkeepsie on 22, 1803. When she was 12 old shy came to this city with her father, who went into the grocery business. For some time she lived in Michigan with her sister, who died at 93. VThen she re-. turned to this city, making her home with her nephew, a' retired grain merchant.

Everything is in readiness for the opening of the great Charity Fair in aid of the building fund of the Jewish Hospital, which is to be held in the Academy of Music, beginning the week of Oct. 13.

Under the management of Colonel A. B. de Frece, all arrangementshnvebcen carried out successfully and a brilliant opening assured, C'olo-nel de Frece is the director gcnerMpfljtw fair and its plan and scope have been laid out with skill. A meeting of those who have taken an active part in the fair was held in the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon, to talk over the final arrangements for the opening. About a hundred representative men and women of the Jewish residents of the borough attended.

The objects of tlje proposed hospital are to found an institution which shall afford medical and surgical aid to sick and disabled persons without regard to their creed or nationality. Colonel de Frece called the meeting to order and told what had been done during the summer in aid of the fair. The fail is be unique in many ways. Among the novelties is the arrangement of the Academy. The entire ceiling will be spread with a blue canopy on which tiny silver stars will sparkle, representing the sky.

As the fair takes place during the Jewish festival, the Feast of the Tabernacles, it will be known as the Fair of theTabemaclis. Long, broad streamers will be stretched from under Jhe blue canopy covering the whole interior. This feature is to represent the custom' of the Jews doming the feast, when they Ihe out of doors. Fifteen Booths Laid Out. The floor space has been laiikont into fifteen booths, designed by Architect J.

Graham Glover, under the direction of Colonel De Frece. A magnificently deco rated arch will he erected at ttje main entrance. From that will run a nrond aisle to the stage, here the flower garden will be situated. This aisle is to be called Broadway. The flower garden is to be the beauty spot of the fair.

Green picket fences in the form of a square will enclose the table on which the flower are piled. The pretty young women in attendance will stand behind tlve fence to sell their blossoms. The Brooklyn Elks will have charge of the doll show and will also have Wednesday night set aside ns Elk night. There will-be only one voting contest in the fair, and that will he for a handsome ivory gavel, valued at $230. to be given to the most popnlar organization, irrespective of color or creed.

It is expected that Governor Odell will open the fair. The Hebrew Orphan Asylum hand will furnish the music for the opening night, and a string orchestra will play every evening.

The nomination was mkde by acclamation. hat may be the first step of-the Roeb lings to secure a remission of the overtime penalty on the cable work of the Williamsburg Bridge lias just come to light. Incidentally it appears that if the present plans go the cable work on this bridge will -cost something like $50,000 moie than was provided for in the oflginnrcontract. When the Bridge Commissioner permitted the company to continue the woik after its time limit was reached, on April 13, it was understood that if it pursued the work in a manner satisfactory to him bo might ask the Board of Estimate to remit all or some part of the pegrifity-for overtime. which amount day.

It was also understood that the Commissioner idea of a reasonable time for the completion of the cable work was about the 1st of Scptemlier. Daring thf'dtiinmer months no move was made by either party, the Commissioner steadily refitsing to sny ubnt he would do until all of the cables were completed. '1 he cable work is now drawing to a close, and a few days ago the Commissioner received a letter from one of those in charge of the construction of the bridge lecolnniending that certain new method of covering the cables lie adopted. The advantage of tho process, it is said, ig that it makes them enfirelv waterproof, and is is said to protect tire wire from the action of the i laments. The process was recommended by engineers, and the Commissioner took it into serious consideration.

Some correspondence regarding the matter passed, and then Conmiis-ioner'Limlen-thal discovered that if he sanctioned the new process it would necessitate a further extension of time, and he thought this might be brought "forward, as an excuse for ome of the delay in performing the original eontraet. Commissioner Lindenthai wrote to the RoeMiogs for furthoe particular and it i said that the reply of the company waa rather evnsive. He wrote again to have it distinctly understood that the new- contract should not in any way affect the original contract. Just what turn affairs took then is not clear, for it is said that the contract was nt once drawn np qnd wliilc it esntniitfd a clause providing thnt fnip contract should be considered individually. the title was of such a nature that it mght be dnnstrued in court as an amendment to the original contract.

In this form it was sent to the Law Department for approval nnd has not yet beep returned. It is rinted out, however, thnt the Law Department might pass upon the form of eontraet innocently enough, for it is without official knowledge of the re-inlians between the contractor and the Bitilge Commissioner. Should the con'rnct he signed in its present form, it is stated i. in a. I IL1-.

Sa a thnt it wonld be almost impossible to determine where the old contract terminated nnd the new eontraet began, because all the work is so closely allied. On this fact is based the assumption thnt rather than pay a penalty amounting to almost the company oTmtld rather make a hard legal fight to establish an inseparable relationship hetueen the two contracts. -v The additional $50,000, which it is yiid the1 new covering process would cost, might not call for an extra appropriation, because sweeping reductions in salaries and other thing hnve left a material surplus for the department for the present year. It might be necessary, however, for the Board of Estimate to pass upon the transfer of the money 'front one. account to another.

and should this be done there might be a hitch in the proceedings. The time is coming when the Board of Estimate ill consider the new hndget, nnd it is not at all likely thnt they will hq disposed to permit any expenditures unless they are absolutely necessary. When the contract is' returned from the Law Department it is expected that there will be some further development In the ease which may bring np the whole question of the overtime pennity.

Rapldt Transit Train I Flagged Two Hundred Feet Down th Track. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company' new fifty-foot drawbridge over Coney Isl and Creek collapsed yesterday afternoon.

The draw had Just been opened to let a coal barge through.
