SEEK TOOT IT Protest Against the Appointmen of Married Women AS TEACHERS IX OUR SCHOOLS. THEIR SINGLE SISTERS WANT BILL PASSED BY THE LEGISLA TURE PROHIBITING ANY WOMAN WHOSE HUSBAND 13 UNDER YEARS OF AGE FROM BEING SE- LECTED AS A SCHOOL TEACHER.

Much comment has been caused by the protest of the unmarried women the Seventeenth ward against the giving places as teachers in the publie schools married women. The protestants claim that it Is unjust to them to have the plades go to married women, whose husbands are able to support them. It is said "that a. bill covering the ma t- ter will be introduced in the next Leg! i lature. The bill will prohibit the Jp- polntment as school teachers of married women husbands are under' 50 years of age.

I Under the by-laws of the Board of Edu cation, the local committees are authorised to name the teachers, after which he Teachers' Committee passes upon these appointees. Under the rules, if a-eacher marries while engaged as a her appointment is void, but she is eligible to reappointment. The single women say this in unjust, and cite a case that occurred not so very long ago. A young woman was teaching In one of the local schools, and was mar ried to a prominent educational authority in New Jersey. "Immediately after the ceremony, although the woman intended living in another State, she was reappoint ed, and continued her work.

Superintendent of Public Instruction H. Maxwell, when seen to-day. had this to say of the condition of Affairs: "'In our office we have nothing to do with the appointment of teachers, merely seeing that each one appointed is capable. I will say, however, that I believe a single woman is the bfetter teacher, for she works with a greater singleness of thought in her work, and has no outside influences to; in terfere with her." I Auf additional complaint is that the Board of Education sometimes goes out side of the city and even the State to get teachers for the higher positions. NEW TURKISH MINISTER.

PLENTY OF GOOD flATERIAL EX-CONGRESSMAN WALLACE AND OTHER PROMINENT CITIZENS IN TERESTED REASONS WHY BROOKLYN SHOULD HAVE HER OWN ORGANIZATION OF SEA MILITIA MEETING CALLED AT THE OXFORD CLUB. While the new branch of the National Guard service, known as the Naval Mil itia Is flourishing in this State. Brooklyn, which holds so prou5 a position in respect to her representation in the land forces, hardly known in the sea forces, and has been content to play second fiddle to New York, to whose Naval Militia organlia-tions, indeed, she has countributed her quota -of young men think, would appear to more advantage la an or ganization of the same kind in their own city. Jersey City has a naval battalion, and yet it is not as important a city as Brooklyn, nor has it as much front. The feeling is growing that Brooklyn, which now has every branch of the land service represented in the National Guard con tingent, should1 be fitly represented in this important arm.

ThereJ are many reasons for this the city has, more water front to defend than either New York City or jersey City, and it is a favorite residence place for naval officers, active or retired, owing, partly, but not entirely, to the fact of the pres ence of the Navy Yard, and has also large number of eligible young mam, good amateur sailors, who serve their country well as sailors. The feeling, therefore, that Brooklyn should have her own battalion 'of the Naval Reserve, has been growing, and has now taken an aggressive shape. Sev eral Brooklyn gentlemen, among them ex- Congressman William C. Wallace, have In terested the Naval Reserve Association in the subject, and steps are now being taken to carry out the Idea. The association, at a recent meeting, authorized the Board of Governors to appoint a committee to take whatever action in the matter they should see fit, and the Governors selected Messrs.

Wallace, Jerome Morse and Camp bell C. Broun to "push things," as Grant told Sheridan to do. This committee have practically full powers in the matter, and, if necessary, can enlist the' services of other citizens to aid them in pushing the work. They are to go thoroughly Into the subject, inves tigate the probabilities of forming a bat talion of citizen sea warriors in Brooklyn, and selecting a man to lead it until it shall be formally accepted by the State, when: the msn. according National Guard usuage, will elect their own officers.

A meeting will be held at the Oxford Club soon to which a number of prominent citizens have been invited, to consider what can be done in the matter. Brooklyn is able, and should be willing, ta have her own Naval Battalion, i ASSESSMENTS CANCELLED. BOARD OF ASSESSORS MADE A MISTAKE IM FIXINQ THEM.

GO TTS CHALK IS ARRESTED, 1 CHARGED WITH GRAND LARC. BUT CLAIMS THAT HE ONLY Ti HIS FEES. Columbus Gottschalk. a lawyer, of St Nassau street. New York City, was held for examination by Justice Tighe yester day in the Adams street court oh a charge of eTrand larceny Joseph Bagnarello, of the District At torney's office, arrested him on Saturday afternoon on a warrant Issued by Justice Tighe.

The charge against Gottschalk arose out of a suit in the Supreme Court in the case of Ferdinand Bun- dow against Carl Bundow and Annie Bun-dow for the recovery of the amount of a bond. Gottschalk, who appeared for the plaintiff, obtained a judgment for $393.75, and It is alleged that he paid over to his client only $60, and -then declared that he had "not collected any money on the Judg ment, although it was subsequently dis covered that he had signed a satisfaction piece. GottschPlk denied the charge, and says it is entirely a question of fees for work he had done. The plaintiff charges that Gottschalk agreed to do the for $50, while the latter insists that the fee was $500. Justice Tighe paroled Gottsshalk on his own recognizance, in spite of a protest from District Attorney Backus.
