WOKTU Or GOODS AT HALF PRICE. DRESS who bad a load of freight to ship over the road. We levied the duty, and what was the result? Tha price of steel rails came down from $153 to $30 a ton, and to-day there are more railroads in the United States than in all the rest of the world. (Applause.) We were told we could not make plate-glass, 'because American sand was not fit for it. Yet they are shipping sand from Massachusetts, to- make plate-glass in Germany, and it is reputed to be the best sand oU the fac of the globe.

(Applause.) Massachusetts is in the United States, Is It not? (Laughter.) We levied the duty. To-day plate-glass Is 70 cents a square foot. Before thn duty was levied it was $2.25 a square foot. They told us in Michigan that we could not make steel, and that there was no stee. good for anything in the United States.

We challenged foreign manufacturers, and at Albany, fifteen years ago, presented our steel, and it took the red ribbon. (Applause.) The same thing happened at Elmira five years ago. We were told that we could not make linen goods out of Uniteu States flax, because the fibre was not good. We asked, was it not the same fibre as the Russian flax, used in the Scotch and Irish mills? They said it looked the same, and might fool a botanist, but the fibre was different. (Laughter.) Well, how did it turn out? Mr.

Crouch was sent from Minueapo lis to the Scotch mills, with a specimen of American flax, and he returned with a certificate stating that it was the best flax ever used. (Applause.) Even then Mr. Marcus D. Wffcnir, who was at Minneapolis at the time, said to me: 'You can't make linen goods in I asked him why? he said, 'the atmosphere is too dry. I replied that if I could get him and some of his tariff reform friends to deliver some free trade speeches there, if there was not enough fog raised when thy got through, we would drop out of the linen business.

(Laughter aud applause.) Continuing, he said: "I like the Republican party, because it is in favor of good, honest money, and I believe in keeping it as good as gold, and it is to do so. (Applause.) The Chicago wigwam pronounced In favor of the old State bank system. The People's party has done the same. I don't want to go back to it. Some of you older men remember the trouble we have had with it.

We don't want that kind of money. (Laughter.) To-day we have eight different kinds of money, but It is all good. I'll bet not one of you in this house knows what kind of money you have in your pockets. It Is good, becnuse you can exchange it for any other money. Your silver dolhir is only worth 70 cents, but you can exchange ft at the United States Treasury for a gold dollar worth one hundred cents.

The other 30 cents is in the Treasury, and I want it to stay there." The address was listened to with the greatest attention, and it was plain to be seen that the seed had been sown in the right field, and was bound fo bring forth a rich harvest.

"It simply came fron a desire I always had to better tilings," said Miss Westover. "Whenever I saw something wrong I felt that I must try and make it right. It'a what you call here in New York executive ability. I eoll it straightening things out." ss Westover fa a fine linguist, geologist, musician, and botanist. Spanish she learned in Mexico; the Indian tongue the West.

It Is some ten years since site first came east, with a view to studying music. About five or six years hack she went to Towanda, Bradford County, and accepted the position of leading soprano in the choir of Christ Church, the Rev. Edgaf Enos. rector the same who has recently been appointed Dean of St. Paul's Chureh.

in Troy. Subsequently she became choir leader, and conduc ed classes formed from members of the choir and outsiders. One winter she conducted a series of operas, which were participated in by her pupils and the residents of the place and given in the Opera House of Towanda. When she came to New York she was offered a position In an opera troupe. It was, however, suggested to her to take the examination for Custom House inspectress.

She received the appointment and finding that the position required some knowledge of several languages, she started to Italian, Ger man, Danish, and some Chinese dialect. She study to French Iso gave further compelled herself to speak Italian perfec by taking up her abode in an Italian family and pledging herself to pay one cent for evVi.i English word she spoke. Her debts amounting, on one day, to nearly three dollars she exercised more care and was soon able to speak Italian perfectly. Her knowledge of this language was particularly useful to her. in her subsequent position as secretary to Gen.

Beattie, Superintendent of the Street Cleaning Department, New York. During an illness of Mr. Beattie she personally superintended the street cleaning operations and was able to "boss" 1,500 Italians in tbelr own language. A beautiful and interesting memento of SJiss Westover's Western life is a set of heavy gold ornaments of moBt unique design and workmanship. They were presented to her not very long since by Western friends for a much-coveted distinction the shooting of the greatest number of Rockv Mountain sheep.

These animals are very difficult to kill. They are, more properly, goats, and live in the highest regions and among the most dangerous chasms of the mountains, and. even after shooting, it is usually impossible to procure the bodies. The set of ornaments consists of a wide gold chain of massive links, a pendant or breast-pin in the. form of a pilot's wheel, which is intended to be indicative offhe position she held under the Government.

From the centre of the wheel protrudes the gold model of the animal's head fully half an inch in length. The earrings are rather smaller heads, attached to the curved wire. The set was made in Rome. A thing which Mies Westover has seen recently "straightening out" is a "Guide of Manhattan Inland." which appeared Just before the visit of the Christian Endeavor Society to New York. Knowing this fact would considerable augment the sale.

Miss Westover hurried things up. and got the book out in time to sell the first edition in the following week, which may be taken as another instance of her enterprise. Miss Westover Is at present rather extensively engaged In Journalism, and is writing a novel, which will shortly be published. The scene is laid in the Rocky Mountains, the tale is founded on fact, and the incidents, the author states, are true, however erartling they may appear. "I haven't done anything particular." said Miss Westover.

"except to always take hold of the best opportunity." LATEST 6 ALES BY REAL ESTATE BROKERS. W. P. Rae Co. have sold the following lots on the Lusy Barron property, Mapletou, to Thomas Smith: A block of twelve lots on the east side of Twentieth aveneue.

H. Sketches of a Career That Beads Like Eomanoe. HER CHILDHOOD ATD EARLY GIRLHOOD PASSED IN THE FAR WEST A HUNTER OF BUFFALO. A GOOD SHOT AT INDIAN'S, jf WILD RIDER. AN INVENTOR.

A FINE LINGUIST. GEOLOGIST. MUSICIAN AND BOTANIST. Miss Cynthia M. WestoYoc has recently awakened much Interest by her Invention ot a miner's cart for hauling ore.

There is no known reason why a woman should not invent a miners' cart if she can do it; bat as women arc not commonly familiar with the arrangement of mines, the thing was Impressive by ft-ason of its novelty. The short Items la the papers a week ago were simply to the effect that a miner's cart had been invented by Cynthia M. Westover, which had been noticed by the French, isociety of Inventors. This body made herein honorable member, making the papers out to C. M.

Wcstover, under the evident belief that she was a man. tiAuy who has hold of a thread of ynthla Westovor's life will roalire that the invention was not a singular one for her; buc a natural result of an unusual and eventful experience. You can understand the true inwardness of the miners' cart by a knowledge of her earlier days. Her father, Oliver 8. Westover, was a geologist and mine-owner, who mnde investigating journeys, principally In California and Colorado, and often had aharge of mines in various other pans of the oountry.

Ills daughter was born In Iowa, wtaere her mother died when the child was fens years old. It was not possible miorrini mas CTSTHIA U. for Mr. Westover to settle down In one place, nnd he determined to take als stuali daughter with him wherever he went. Almost from babyhood she became her fahter's constant companion, and was familiar with mining and camp life.

A recently-pub-itahed history of Bradford County, devotes several pages to Westover on the grounds of her having rived In Towauda, the county seat, some years ago. A few extracts from the volume will give some outline of her previous life: "She has from early childbed been her father's companion; as geologist, miner, and prospector. She learned to ride almost as soon as she could- walk. Once, when a little girl, she shot an Indian dead who had his tomahawk uplifted over the liettd of a white woman. Again, when her father's camp was surrounded by hostile Indians, she galloped out upon her pony, and brought relief.

The Indiana, accustomed to see thn child ride about after the cows, did not notice her departure. she was so much at home with the shy, wild creatures of the woods, that she learned their calls, and they wouid come to her like so many domestic fcirds and animals. She would come Into camp with wild birds and squirrels on her shoulder. She could lasso a steer with the best of thein. When, at last, she went to graduate at the Statu University of Colorado, she paid for her last year's tuition with the proceeds of her own herd of cattle." From the same source we gain Miss West-over's own account, in a letter to the author, Mr.

Bradsby: "My great grandfather was Alexandei Campbell. Scotch-Irish seceder. founder of a sect called Camphellites, or Disciples 01 Christ. My father's mother was Alexander Campbell's daughter. Grimdfathei Westover was a descendant of the West-overs, of Virginia.

Three brothers. In IBM, settled with a few followers not far from the site where Richmond now stands. The little village still bears the name of West-over, and the Westover Mansion, built in 1749. stands to-day, very little changed, ex-. oept by aee.

My mother was a Lewis, descendant of the same family as J. Frederick Lewis. R. the Englishman who attracted attention by his studies of wild animals and etches of manners and costumes In Spain, ad from whom. I suppose, I inherit some of my love of nature.

From the age of three years I was tnught of necessity to think nnd act for myself. My Intention was nevei suffered to languish, hence, at a very early age I knew how to conduct myself through every changing emerg-nries which are too numerous to be comprehended in any system of advice. I attribute mv true appetite now for knowlfdge to the fact that my memory was never surfeited and en. feebled by being "crammed when I was young, and my perfect health to the outdoor exercises and amusements which I necessarily got. following my father over the Rockies.

I have never been under a doctor's care. These are suggestive outlines. A scholarly ancestry, a vigorous and active outdoor life a constant development of self-reliance give sounder grounds for the best development than the most comprehensive school courie ever outlined, though it inclade gymnasium and Delsarte classes. Miss Westover's personalty is impressive. She is taller by a head than medium height.

There is about It a osrtain breadth and breeziness an aroma it ie free life of the mountain and the prairie. Yet yon wonder, withal, that this slender and low-voiced woman has ever actually galloped about in the "wild West," shoot-tag, not only Indians, but buffaloes. Mack bears and mountain sheep. The little figure shown represents Miss W. at about 4 years ot age, when she was sometimes dressed after tjie fashion of a little Spanish hoy.

and ran about Wiling snakes with the "quirt" shown in her hand. The photograph from which the other snt la taken being a llaah-light- apology gives some idea of Miss Westover's pose, but little of hex face. The hair is brown, warm in tone, and grows low upon the from which tt Is pushed looseir backward. The brows are delicate and' slightly arched: the eye- gray, and both mirthful and earnest in expres-dea. Miss Westover's own recollec-' tlons of.

her esrlv life are interesting. "You see, father took me with him every where. I had very oueer sort of school ng. When 1 was too little to go to the mines with him he used to "drop" me In the school in any place we happened. Sometimes it might only be a day.

So I learned out of all sorts of books in all sorts of places. When people ask me what arithmetic or grammar I studied, I haven't any Idea. Sometimes I'd be in a class with children older than myself, and sometimes younger, but I always made friends with them. I never knew what It was to be bashful, and I never thought of seeing them again. But somehow.

I always managed to get into a class in fractions, nnd I delight in fractions to this day. I really learned to count from playing cards, and to road from my father's geological books. That is, I learned the look of the words without noticing how they were spelled, so I never learned to spell as I should have when I was little." "Yes, I remember shooting the Indian." saitV Miss Westover, as it were a casual matter. "I was about ten years old, but I've killed a good many since, of course, that were carried off and I inew nothing about" Concerning the cart. Miss Westover says that the idea first occurred to her about ten years ago.

She was at the mouth of a mine In Colorado, now the silver mine In the country, watching the horses pull up the carts througirthe tunnels. One of the horses broke down and died under a heavy load, and Miss Westover then and there began thinking of some better plan for the removal of the ore, simply for the purpose of relieving the sufferings of the horses. The carts were formerly run without even the aid of rails. The uss of rails gave Miss Westover the idea of a mechanical contrivance which should do way with all need of a hone. She did not Immense Gathering of Enthusiastio Republicans in the 26th Ward, BENNETT'S HALL CROWDED WITH THOSE "WHO PROPOSE AIDING IN THE ELECTION OF BENJAMIN HARRISON AND WHITELAW BEID A BRILLIANT ADDRESS BY THE HON.

ROSWELL G. HORR. Bernett'a Hall, at Wyona street and Liberty avenue, in the Twenty -sixth ward, yraa not large enougb to bold the crowd which sought to gather there lat night, to hear the address of the Hon. lioswell G. Horr, and at the same time take part in ratifying the nominations of Benjamin Harrison for President and Vhlteluw Reid for Vice-President.

Long before 8 o'clock Republicans were to be seen making their way to the hall, and while cannons boomed in front of the place of meeting, a band of music played popular airs, and enough fireworks were set off to satisfy the soul of the most selfish small boys, a number of whom sped to the scene. The gathering showed that though early in the season, the Republicans of the ward were up and doing. Clubs from all parts of the upper district put in an appearance headed by life and drum corps, and In each case received a hearty welcome. It iras not long before the main hall was crowded almost to suffocation, and the galleries were soon in a similar condition. Still the crowds kept on coming, aud the stairways were crowded with those who were desirous of witnessing as well as hearing all that went on.

When the speaker arrived, he was immediately escorted to a platform erected for the occasion, and which was draped with American flags. Pictures of Harrison and Reid were placed conspicuously around the place. The ex-Congressman received an ovation such as any man might be proud of. Men stood on chairs, waved their hats and shouted themselves hoarse. It was fully fifteen minutes before order was -restored and the business of the evening got down to.

Harry RIngrose, the president of the Harrison and Reid Club of the ward, under whose auspices the meeting was held, railed the assemblage to order, and in doing so said that the Republicans of the upper districts were about to fire the first gun in the campaign in that part of the city. It was to be done in such a manner that the enemy could hear it, and plainly, too. One of the ablest tariff speakers in the Republican ranks was present to command the forces while the blow was being made, and victory would be the result. Roswell G. Hoar was the man he referred to.

and before the conclusion of the meeting the speaker assured every person present that thev would receive a lesson on the tariff such as 'would do them good. At the conclusion of the gentleman's remarks Counselor Adolph Kiendl. president of the ward association, was chosen chairman of the evening. Supervisor Henry W'olfert, Howard Smith, ex-president of the Union League Club; J. W.

Harmon. John TV. Thompson, R. R. Wheeler, C.

Edward Anselm and Major Benjamin Steen were then escorted to the platform, were they took seats. Counselor Kiendl was then Introduced, and said that tt was to him a great honor to be able to preside over such a meeting as the one before him. The Republicans of the Twenty-sixth ward would this year show the enemy that the time had come when Democracy could no longer rule that part of the city, and the old town of New Lots would be placed in the Republican ranks and stay there for evejiore. Counselor Kiendl then introduced the speaker of the evening, and the shout that went up could be heard for blocks away. He spoke in part as follows: I believe In the doctrines of the Rrpubll-an party.

I believe in them because I think are true; because I think they are best idnpted to build up this great nation; (ap-rtlause) because I believe they are best tdapted to protect the men who live by the 'abor of their hands. (Applause.) No one will deny that the Republican partv differ fraternally on the grat question, whether we should legislate and levy duties, so as to prdtect and build up the industries of oar own country- Tne Republican party, every Demo-Tat will admit, stands committed to the 'sreat doctrine of taking care of the people. (Applause.) Our Democratic friends tell us squarely hat they don't believe in levying luties so as to protect American industries. They tell us that if there is any protection. It shall be inI'lental-ccldpntal, that Is a better word that if any law is passed which shall do any good In the United States, it shall be accidental' on their part; (laughter applause); while the Republicans now enact and always have enacted laws for the purpose of helping the people of this country.

(Applause.) "There is a clause in the Confederate Constitution which says that protection will not be permitted. I think that perhaps th-? men who ran the Chicago Convention got tangled up on the two const it uiiods. and got the idea into their heads that we live under the one of Richmond." (Laughter and applause.) I knod that some people think England Is a free trade country. Yet England collects every year $100,000,000 tariff duties. Last year she collected $22,000,000 on tea, $800,000 ou coffee, and $47,000,00 on tobacco.

Great Britain levies her duties on articles that she does not' produce herself, nnd she levies no duties on articles she can manufacture in her own country. She can't make tea and coffee, and the growing of tobacco is prohibited by law. Now, It Is just the opposite kind of tariff that the Republican party; be lieves in. All articles of necessity and all articles used by the common people we dace on the free list, so that they may be obtained as cheaply as possible by the people. (Applause.) If you put that kind of duty that they have in England on articles that we can'f produce, you simply increase, the price.

If we levy a duty on tea in the United Spates, the price goes up, because we can't produce it, and we encourage no Industry, because we can get np no competition. Secondly, that kind of duty comes out of the pockets of working people of the country. All this duty on tea and coffee and tobacco of over collected in England came from thp workingman, because in Great Britain 500 workingmen use tea nnd coffee and tobacco for every one rich nabob. The consequence Is that the great bulk of it comes out of the pockets of people who live by labor. (Applause.) MWe levy duty on articles that we can produce in this country, and we levy them so high that it covers the difference berween the good wages given for work in this country and the poor wages given on the other side of the ocean.

(Applause.) Our Democratic friends tell us that if we levy duties on articles that we can produce In this country, they nre also taxes. Now, I want to show you to-night how duties levied on the Republican party's plan differs from duties levied on the Democratic party's plan. If rou levy a duty on articles that can be produced in this country, several things Immediately follow. First, if you levy duty on articles that can be made in your own country, you build up a new industry. "Secondly, we enable people in this country to keep in circulation at home the money that would otherwise go abroad, to buy those goods.

Thirdly, we enable the people in the United States to pay better wages for work than are paid in any land on the face of the globe. (Applause.) Some of you older men remember our knives and forks; how they all bore the mark, and what clumsy old things they were. Yet we paid more for them than we do for the eletrant steel we make In America. An ax which now can be had for 50 cents then cost $1.25, and was not near as good at that. I remember once being asked by a leading Democrat who would like to know how Mr.

Horr could recollect the price of scythes In 52. I told him it was because he had to work at the rate of 50 cents a day to get the plaguey thing." (Laughter.) "Improved machinery helps to cheapen things, and we have got to get the machine and the American workingman -together, bpcaro, if the workman ie in Brooklyn and the machine in England, it is too far off to do anv Brood. (Applause.) Our Democratic friends told us i wa could nob make wire nails, and tried to prevent us Jrovn levying duty on them. They said it would rob every one engaged In the united state, we went right on and levied the duty. What was the result? The moment we commenced to manufacture them In this country, the price came down, and last year we made in the United States 4,113,000 kegs of wire nails.

Speaking to the tin plate finest ion. he said: "Our Democratic friends tell us that we should not levy duty on tin. which Is raw material. Duty Is not levied on tin by the McK.nley bill. The duty is on tin plate.

All, or nearly all, the wupposed tin utensils are 60 per cent, steel, with tin plating. Whv should we not make tin plate in the United States? We have been buying from 000 to $28,000,000 worth of tin plate from the great manufacturing districts of Wales. There were over 8.000,000 blocks of tin made in Wales last year, and of these 8.000.000. 6.000. 000 came to the United States.

We are the greatest tin consuming nation in the world. Why, then, should we not make our own tin plate? Our free trade friends say we are not making It. Well, I have been to five factories where they are making tin plate In the United States, and it would take a Democratic tariff reformer more than an hour to convince me that we are not making It. (Laughter.) There are now twenty-six tin plate factories in the United Continuing, he said: "Our friends told us It was foolishness to try to make steel rails. They said that If we levied duty on steel rails we would stop the building of railroads In the United States, And rob eyery man determined to close out all odds end take this sure method of disposing MEN'S FURNISHINGS.

Second Col Batterniann'a property of the city, which srtves a free use of the building for the exhibition of the collection of valuables owned by the museum. It Is intended, in time, to extend the building to occupy tbe whole of Manhattan square. The recently-finished wing is still scarce-ly sufficient for the possession of the museum, and the necessity of another was forseen during its construction. This is atread provided for, a bill asking for the required amount, $400,000, having already passed both Houses, and been signed by Gov Flower.

The new wing projects south, the side windows giving extended views east and west, toward the two rivers. The principal stone used in the construction of the building is red granite, from New Brunswick, the eu trance steps of Massachusetts CTunite. The facade is broken on either side of the en trance by a "swell front." These run the full height of the building and terminate iu the short pointed towers of Itomauesqut; character, which nre becoming so noticeable a feature of both dwelling houses and public buildings. rhe arrangement of tbe floors has already, been described in The Standard-L'nion. Workmen on the upper floor, which is to be devoted to the Archaeological Department, are still busy at the cases which have been, throughout, constructed with Bpecial care.

The library, on this is well situated, being removed from the cen tral part of the building. It Is ou the west Bide find finely lighted by large windows on four sides. The library proper is shut off by an ornamental lattice-work of Iron fron the south end of the room. This Is well furnished with a large library table and comfortable chairs. The floor is of red tiles partly covered by a large Turkish rug.

MapF and globes complete the furnishings. Over 23.000 books are in this reference library They are all of scientific character, and af ford valuable opportunities to students and teachers. 'Shis library, in connection with the Department of Public Instruction, Is par tlcularly instrumental In giving an educa tlonal value to the museum. This depart ment provides for teachers, each season, a course of lectures, given in the lecture hall on the first floor. The library is not yet en-.

tlrely iu working order, the books not being fully catalogued, but will be ready shortly. The natural arrangements of many of the bird groups are noticeable. Some of these, though from regions near by, are difficult specimens to procure. Among them are the rufHed grouse, the yellow-billed cuckoo, the scarlet tanagers and the beautifully colored sea gulls from Cedar Island. The Labrador ducks are valuable specimens, as this race of birds is said to have been extinct for nearly thirty years.

The -list of departments includes Ethnological and Archaeological Department, Department of Public Instruction. Geological and Mineralogical Departments. Conchological Department, and departments of Ornithology, Mammalogy. Iritervertebrate Zoology and Taxidermy.

Admission is still gained through the door at the end of the plnnk walk leadlne from Eighty-flrsr street, but it is understood that this door will subsequently be closed and used only as a freight passage, and visitors will use the largt entrance in the new wing.

COMPLETED. The New Wing of American Museum of Natural History. THE RICH COLLECTION OF SCDJNTrFIC SPECIMENS NOW GIVEN AMi'LE ROOM FOR EXHIBITION A GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. Tbe completion of the new wing of the American Museum of Natural History, in Manhattan Square, Central Park, is an important event in the history of the building. We tso soon take our public buildings as a matter of course that we are apt to forget that many important ones have a comparatively new existence.

The history of this museum is interesting. On Dec. 30, 1808, a letter was addressed to the Park Commissioners requesting that a museum and library of natural history should be established in the Park for the city of New York for the purpose of encouraging the study of natural sciences, of advaucing general knowledge of such subjects, and of furnishing popular instruction and recreat.on. The reply being favorable, application was made to the Legislature for a special charter, and on April 1800, an act. was passed incorporating the American Museum of Natural History.

The names of the founders were: John David Wolfe. Robert L. Robert Colgate. Benjamin H. Field, Richard M.

Blatch-ford, Adrian Iselin, Benjamin- B. Sherman, William A. Haines, Theodore Roosevelt, Henry U. Stebbins, Howard Potter, William T. Blodgett, Andrew H.

Green, Morris K. Jesup, D. Jackson Stuart, J. Pierrepout Morgan, Moses H. Griiiell, A.

G. Phelps Dodge, Charles A. Dana, Joseph H. Choate, Henry Parish. The firsc president elected was Joan David Wolfe.

Funds were at once secured for the enterprise, and the sum of $44,550 was raised in a few weeks. The first purchases made were the Elliot collection of 3.000 North American birds, the collection of Prince Maximilian of Newwied, Germany, and a part of collections of, the French naturalists, Verreaux and Ydray. These were exhibited on the two uppsr floors of the old Arsenal Building, which were pro-pared for temporary use by the Park Commissioners. Valuable donations were received from private individuals during the first year, among which were 4,000 specimens of beetles and insects, 10.000 specimens of butterflies, collection illustrating the geology of Palestine aud Sinai, and seven boxes of minerals and corals from China. In 1S70 many prominent ew lork citizens signed a petition to the Legislature, requesting that the Department of Public Parks should be authorized to erect ti suitable fireproof building, for the establishment of a Mnseum of Natural History, by the "American Museum of Natural History," at an aggregate cost of $500,000.

During this year were received many specimens of fresh water shells of Switzerland and Wor- temburg; shells and "alcoholic mollusca" (a term now of scientific value, but which originated with the museum), collected In the East Indian Archipelago a conchological collection, and rare exotic specimens. The next additions made were the "Great Auk," now extinct, particularly valuable, as there are only seventy-eight specimens in the world. The constitution, charter and by-laws, with the third annual report of the museum, were presented by the trustees in 1871. An ar rangement was subsequently made in accord ance with a petition signed by many lead ing citizens, by which Monday and Tuesday of each week were reserved for the trustees, any contributors to the museum, those wish ing to give special study to any collections, pupils of public schools, and inmates of charitable institutions. The first president of the institution, John David Wolfe; also Coleman T.

Robinson, the first curator of entomology, died in 1872. Mr. Wolf was succeeded by Robert L. Sruart, who was elected Nov. 11, '72.

During this year a Department of Anthropol ogy was formed, and the Archaeological De partment has started with a collection of rare implements made by the aborigines of Porto Rico. This department Is a particularly important one. The first donation of fossils was also received during this year. An important event of the year 1874 was the laying of the cornerstone by Gen. Grantr President of the Uniied States, assisted by Gen.

Dix, Governor, and the Mayor of New lork. Many donations followed nis event, and the membership of the museum was largely Increased. A most important contribution was the "Wolf memorial gift." a collection of 50.000 shells and over 1.000 volumes of rare conchological and scientific works. The Smithsonian Insti tution presented a collection of curious birds nests and a complete series of all Its publications. Rar Indian antiquities were present ed to the Archaeological Department, and 8,000 specimens enlarged the entomological collections.

A Geological Department was established In the year 1875. The large and noted geological collection of Prof. James Hal! was purchased, which added much to the scientific value of the museum exhibit. The building In the Park was completed In '77, and formally opened by the President! of the United States on Dec. 22.

Addresses were made on the occasion try RoTTert Stunrt, president of musenm: Hon. U. R. Martin, president of DeparfnTent of Public Parks; Prof. Eliot of Harvard University, and Prof.

Marsh, president of the Advancement of Science The steady incrcne in thehumher of visitors iifthe following years testified to the value of the museum. After the removal of the exhibits from the old arsenal, they were carefully classifie4 in the year 1878. and it may be noted that In 1879 the institution was entirely cleared of debt. The Manhattan Elevated Railroad station at Eighty-first street, being opened in this year, was instrumental in largely increasing the popularity of the musuem, and free admission was accorded to the public on all holidays. The new rule in regard to admission, by the way.

went into effect yesterday, by which visitors are to be admitted hereafter, free of charge on any day. One of the founders of the museum, Vice-President Theodore Roosevelt, died in '78, and the first vice-president, William Haines, in '79. The institution has continued to prosper under the administration of President Morris K. Jesup, who has contributed liberally to the museum. He hasestabllshed an Economic Department.

In which is exhibited a splendid collection of wood from the North American forests. This collection was Sar-gen. Professor of Arboriculture at Harvard University. The constant increase in the number of contributions and of visitors, made a new wtng an actual necessity. The Board of Estimate appropriated $35,000 for the improvement of Manhattan square, the plot of ground containing eighteen acres, upon which the museum itaadjk Xta building itill tbe ST eVTElENT of tbe Treasurer of Kings County ith-t MPTS-und DI-BT KSEM KNTS for the fourili quarier of iho fiscal year commencing Aug.
