Extension of the -Work of the Institute A SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS IN FAVOR OF REPEATING LECTURES, READINGS AND CONCERTS IN THE SUBURBS OF THE CITY. The special committee reecntlyr appointed to prepare a plan for the extension of the work of the Brooklyn Institute, both the lectures and readings, and also the concerts, to many sections of the city, held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the trustees room of the Institute, 502 Fulton street, Walter B. chairman of the committee, presided. There were present the Rev. John Coleman Adams, Prof.

Bralnerd Kellogg, LL.D.. Prof. wight L. Elmendorf, Prof. William Cranston Lawton, Prof.

John S. McKay and Prof. Franklin W. Hosier. The" I cisimittee voted to recommend to the and the Board of Trustees courses a.

ures. dramatic readings and enn- tt. the following heads: (1st), Institute Centres; (2d), Extension Centres. The Institute centres which were proposed in the committee at which lectures may be given during 'th3 season of 1897-4 beginning in October and ending in June, are as follows: 1.) Williamsburg centre; (2.) Flatbuslr centre; (3.) The East Now York centre; (4.) Greenpolnt centre; (5.) South Brooklyn centre; (6.) The Jamaica centre; (7.) The Flushing centre. At each of these localities lectures, readings and concerts will be given to which members of the Institute will be admitted on their regular weekly ticket, membership costing but $5 a year for annual dues, after the admission fee has been paid.

A communication was received from the Rev. Mr. White, of the City Park Branch of the First Presbyterian Church, stating that there was a hall near their building ir. Concord street- that would seat six hundred people. It was well lighted and ventilated, and In his judgment it would be wise if the committee would consider the propriety of giving one or more courses of lectures in that hall during the coming year.

The committee further voted to recom-n-end that Institute Extension centres be established in several localities iti the city, in which the 'membership of the Institute is limited. In order that the educational advantages which the'' Institute is able to afford may be within easy reach of every resident of the city. It is proposed that these lectures shall be given in a series of from six to ten each? that the admission to each lecture shall not exceed ten cents; 'and that the lecturers shall be those who have proved to be most suecesstul as lecturers before the Institute in past years.

REBELS ACTIVE In Baiatea and Taaaq--They Will Fight to the End. THE FRENCH FLAG BUT NATIVES ARE. STILL IN FORCE MANY CONFLICTS, NO GREAT LOSSES TROOPS BROUGHT FROM NEW CALEDONIA.

San Francisco. March 19, The barken-tlne Tropic Bird arrived from Tahiti yesterday after a fair run of thirty days. Two days befoie the Vessel sailed the gunboat Duguay Crousin arrived from the seat of war in Raiatca and Tahoa. She reported the rebels as being steadily-being driven back, but nevertheless more men and ammunition were required, and the gunboat had come for them. The French flag, which had been torn down at the commencement of the rebellion, had been replaced, but the natives were still in force, and seemed determined to hold out to the bitter end.

Many conflicts between the rebels and French troops have occurred, but thus far the losses have not been great. From the men on the Tropic Bird It was learned that the fighting was regular bush warfare, and that the rebels were fairly holding their own. If driven from one point they took quarters in another, and awaited another opportunity to descend upon the troops. All the volunteers and the reserves had been ordered out, and were to leave for the scene of action at once on the gunboat. Troops have been brought from New Caledonia, and a most vigorous attempt is to be made to put down the rebellion once and forever.

i HENRY A. POWELL TO MOVE. HE IS GOING TO RESIDE IN THE TWENTY-FOURTH WARD. The rumor that Register or Arrears Henry A. Powell intends to move from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-fourth ward was discussed by politicians yesterday.

He nominated Mayor Wurstef at the City Convention in 1895 and made an attack on Fire Commissioner Bryant. This action caused some unpleasantness between Mr. Powell and Mr. Bryant, which only ceased at the urgent solicitation of the Mayor. The three men are near neighbors.

Mr. Powell, when seen by at Standard Union reporter this morning, verified the report. He has purchased the property at 1201 Dean street. In the Twenty-fourth ward, and expects to remove there next month. Off Duty.

It Is the well blnir of the physical economy that the kidneys and htarMer should be eternally active, that they should never so "off duty."

Aniens; these are Itrlght's disease of the kidneys, diabetes, retention of the ur.ne gravel, dropsy. Sec.

WOODMAN PRESIDENT ABBEY SHOWS TH3 TAIL OF A CAMELIAN MILLIONS OF SHELLS EXHIBITED. A well-attended members meeting of the Brooklyn Institute Department of Microscopy was held in the Art Building last evening, President Charles P. Abbey in the chair. The feature of the evening-was the presentation of some hints by-Henry S. Woodman for mounting micro- acoplc slides.

Woodman showed a diatom slide made from material gathered -at Old Mill Creek, in August. 1S94, which was practically as good as new. In n-aking sure mounts, Mr. Woodman said he used camphor'water or carbolated water. In the former case, a bit of camphor is put Into the water; in the latter the microscopic needle is dipped an Instant in a solution of carbolic acid.

This the growth of fungae. "Mr.1 Woodman," asked President Abbey; "can you give us a demonstration of mounting diatoms on the cover glass?" Mr. Woodman answered that he thought could, and started about It. "One good way to get a good distribution of diatoms, lie said, "'Is to let them settle and then tip the slide to pour oft what does not readily adhere." After coating the slide carefully wlth Balsam, the speaker heated It to boiling over the lamp flame. sThis had the effect, as he explained, of removing the bubbles.

Then he turned the cover glass, which contained the animalculae, over on the slide, causing the microscopic organisms to settle evenly on the balsamic sur- face. Mr. Muller exhibited 150 polyclstina or microscopic cells in a novel arrangement, that of a fancy star. Each of the sheila had to be picked eut by a hair, the force exerted being that of capillary attraction. Mr.

Ashby brought to the meeting a boxful of Bermuda earth containing many millions of" these shells, and said that the members could help themselves. A number of the members availed themselves of the privilege. The other exhibit of the evening was the tail of a cameban, shown by the president. APPELLATE COURT DECISIONS.

AUNT POLLY BASSETS PUPILS AT THE BAPTIST TEMPLE, i Under the auspices of the Kings Daughters connected with the. Baptist Temple, Third avenue and Schermerhorn street." an enjoyable entertainment was given in, the, basement of the church last night by Aunt Polly Bassett's "Singin" SkewV attendance was large enough to gladden the hearts of the Kings Daughters while the fifty-eight young people on the platform the male contingent in Continentals, and the fair sex representation in powdered hair, beauty patches, and Ieg-'o-mutton sleeves-r-rendered the quaint old melodies with pleasing effect. The Mentity of the singers was con- pealed- in the odd names of the Puritanic times Hezekiab, Obadiah, Penelope, Jeremiah and the like but the songs, glees, "rounds" and! choruses were none the less enjoyable. The "Skewl" was introduced by Aunt Polly in person, and then the fallowing programme was successfully carried out: Opening chorus, by ye skewl; a simple ditty, bye Little Dorcas Tubbs; songe, "Ye Scientific Bijah Noggles; a piece spoken, bye ye skewl marm; a rounde, "Three Blind Mice," bye ye skewl; songe (a doleful ditty)P Belinda Bassett; "'Xankee-doodle-doodiedo," Kiah.

"Ye Singin' Skewl," Belinda; "Twinkle Star." solo and chorus Aunt Polly and Bellndar and "Long Live America," bye ye whole That Aunt Polly was a thoroughly competent teacher was manifested by the strength and evenness of the chorus, and. by the delightful manner in which every number on the programme was interpret- ed.

The nart songs were especially well rendered, and encores became the order of the evening from the "Opening Chorus" to the dismissal of the "Skewl" by the singing of a patriotic air. From a financial as well as a social standpoint the entertainment was a big success. The Bauland Company to Open It Next THE BUILDING WAS FORMERLY OCCUPIED BY HENRY OFF RM AN ENTIRE STOCK PURCHASED AND) BUILDING, LEASED NEW DEPARTMENTS AS SPECIAL FEATURES ADDED. The immense dry goods department store on Fulton and Duffleld streets, whlelr was until recently occupied by -the estate of the late Henry Offerman, will be opened by the enterprising firm of Joseph H. Bauland Co.

on Monday The entire stock and fixtures were purchased a few weeks ago by the new company, and since that time the big store has been closed for the purpose of taking an inventory of the goods on hand. This has now been completed, and everything Is listed in proper order. It will be known as "The Great Cash Store" of Greater New York. Tha president and treasurer is Joseph H. Bauland, who, with his brother, Jacob H.

Bauland, forms the company. Henry P. Burger, who so ably and successfully managed the Offerman concern, will still continue the management under the new administration. The store will be open for business promptly at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, and a large staff of salesmen and salesladies will be ready to attend to the wants of purchasers. When buying the stock the new firm also secured a lease of the big building for ten years.

The company is a close corporation, and will start on a strictly cash basis. Prompt cash will be paid for every article purchased, and the same will be required for everything sold. The firm does not Intend to take or give credit. This system will enable then to sell the very best goods at the lowest possible prices. The building, which Is one of the finest of Its kind, -was designed specially for a department store.

While It was by Henry Offerman it made a reputation of which it could be justly proud. Tne new firm intendsto continue the business in the same eminently thorough and fair principles. The value of the stock at present In the store is about $500,000, and the largest part of it is new, having been recently purchased fovthe current season. It contains the newest and latest designs and styles in every department. Perhaps it is the largest transfer of goods ever made under similar 'conditions.

The first efforts of the Joseph H. Bau-laiid Co. vrill te to offer the immense stock to the public at a great sacrifice. For this purpose a sale will be begun on Monday, which will continue until the en- lire stock is disposed of. Considering the quality- and of the goods, which will be plainly marked" on the counters, this will be one of the greatest sales on record.

The new firm has made extensive alterations in the various departments, and several others are In contemplation. New features -vlll be introduced in all the de-pa -tments, vrhich. will make this housa probably the best equipped and most agreeable shopping place In the city. A speedy sale of the goods on hand will be necessary, and they will be disposed of at any sacrifice, regardless of cost, Preparations for the great sale have been almost completed. The goods in all the departments have been systematically overhauled, and nothing has been left undone to make it a complete success.

The own-era promises that visitors to: their store will be well repaid by observing the splendid display of goods which cannot be surpassed anywhere for quality or cheapness. An offer which every customer will hail with delight and shows, the strict integrity of the firm has been made. It is that any customer who is not satisfied with his or her purchase may bring It back and exchange" it for anything, of the, same value in the store. If this is not satisfactory the firm will refund the money paid for the goods. Nothing could possibly be fairer than t's.

's rule will apply to all goods purchased during the sale. Several new departments have been added to the store, whioh together with the the alterations already completed and under contemplation, will make it one of the foremost department cash stores of Greater New York. While the great sale is in progress new features will be added dally. In order to do this the firm has a corps of competent buyers now on the road looking over new sjock with a view to making large purchases. Large consignments of new goods have been added to the stock.

With very few exceptions all the employees of the old firm have been retained, so 'that customers who have been In the habit of making purchases of a certain salesman or saleswoman will find him or her at the old sftand. In addition to these! 30 new hands have been engaged, so thati no customer shall leave the store because she cannot be waited upon. A large number of special delivery wagons have added to those turned over by the old house, and goods will be delivered promptly the homes of the customers. A special feature of the new store will "be the millinery department, which will occupy four time3 more space than it had formerly. The latest and most fashionable designs in hats and bonnets of every description will be on exhibition.

An expert milliner, with a number of competent assistants will have charge of this department, which will be complete in every way. Taken altogether, the inducements to make purchases at "The S3reat Cash Store" cannot be rivaled by any other similar establishment in either city. THE DEATH RECORD.

Taylor Emery has Just received an Interesting report ronji Chief Bacteriologist E. H. Wilson, M.D who has been making experiments with bacillus of the bubonic plague for some time past, The Commissioner believes that the report will be of Interest to the general public, snd has given it out for publication. It Is as follows: Brooklyn, March 10, 1897. Honj Z.

Taylor Emery, M.D., Commissioner of Health: Dear Sir, I have the honor to submit the following report on the Influence of certain physical agents on the viability of the bacillus of the bubonic plague (bacillus pestis bubonicas). In 1892, while associated with Gen. Sternberg, I assisted in a series of experiments calculated to show the affects of sunlight, desiccation, moist and dry heat on the spirillum of cholera, with a view of determining how far these: agents could be relied upon to limit the viability of the spirillum of infected clothing, merchandise and nails coming from infected ports. In view of the possibility of having to deal with the bubonic plague, It was thought that It might be of value to repeat these experiments with the organism of that disease. Some work has already been done in this direction by Kltasato and Yersln, but It was done under adverse circumstances and the results obtained were not final.

Kitasato found1 cover glass preparations of the contents of a bubo exposed to the air of a room at 28 to 30 degrees showed no growth after four days. Other cover glass preparations exposed directly to tike sun's rays showed no growth after three or four hours. He found that beef-tea Cultures heated for thirty minutes In a water bath up to 80, were destroyed. At 100 In the vapor apparatus they were destroyed in a few minutes. It will be seen! that these experiments were made onlyl with thin films, and in the first or desiccation experiment no effort was made to.

exclude the sunlight, and in the second or sunlight experiment, the film must undergo desiccation at the same time. The culture with which the following experiments were made was obtained through the kindness of my friend. Dr. W. F.

Arnold, United States Navy, who obtained it frorri Yersin In China, and brought it directly to the. United States, renewing it at once" at San Francisco. Upon obtaining he culture, I transferred it to suitable media, and proceeded to test its virulence on susceptible animals, such as guinea pigs, mice and rabbits; the results showed that It was still very virulent. THE THERMAL DEATH-POINT. The method used was that of A series of 5 cc culture In beaf-tea -fwere made In tubes of a uniform Shane and size, and these were allowed to incubate for twenty-four hours.

They were then exposed for ten minutes (a previously ascertained time being allowed to bring the temperature of the culture up tio that of ths bath), in a water bath at the following temperatures: One at 50, one at 62, one at 54, one at 56, one at 5S, and one at 60 degrees C. From each one, after cooling down in the temperature of the room, were made Into fresh beef tea, and these transfers placed In the incubator. After twenty-four hours inoubation It was seen that the tones exposed at 50, 62, 54, 56 -and 58 showed a good growth. The one at 60 did not grow. Another series was started at points between 58 and 60, with the result that the ones! at 58, 58 1-2, 59 and 59 1-2 showed a growth, while the one at 60 did not grow.

This would seem to fix the thermal death-point at 60 140) for ten min-' utesf exposure. (Moist heat). 4 HOT AIR DEATH-POINT. It was decided to use Infected articles of different absorbing consequently, different degrees of desiccation so as to approach the natural conditions as nearly as possible. Cover glasses, pieces of filter paper and small pieces wool blanket were chosen for these reasons, and also because the same articles were used in the cholera experiments in 1892.

These articles were placed in Patrl dishes and sterilized at 150 C. for one hour. They were then infected, each piece with a drop of twenty-four hour bouillon culture. They were then left In a dark closet over night to dry, and the next -day placed in an oven kept at 40 corresponding to the thermal death-point moist heat. Every hour a piece of glass, paper and blanket was removed and transferred to fresh madia, and placed in an incubator at 27 C.

The following results were obtained: Ati the End of On Hour Paper, lived; glass, died; blanket, lived. At the End of Two Hours rPaner. lived: glass, died; blanket, livedo At the End or Three Hours Paper, lived; glass, died; blanket, lived. At: the End of Four Hours Paper, died; glass, died; blanket, lived. Atl the End of Five Hours Paper, diedf glass, died; blanket, lived.

At the-End of Six Hours Paper, died; glass, died; blanket, lived. It will be seen that the bacillus died out before the end of the first hour on the glass, before the end of the fourth on tho paper, and was living at the end of the sixth hour on the blanket. I- SUNLIGHT. The wealher has not been favorable for experiments with sunlight, and no day has occurred on which the sun has shown for long periods at a time. The largest continuous exposure obtainable being seven hours.

Twenty-four-hour cultures in bouillon and fresh cultures on slanting agar tubes were; exposeS in the direct rays of the sun. The i fluid cultures and the moist media were used to eliminate the Question of desiccation in these experiments. Trans- zers I were made at regular intervals, as long as the sunlight lasted. Up to seven hcurs all the cultures grew. I DE3SICATION.

The object of this experiment was to ascertain how long the bacillus would sur vive; on me glass, paper ana Dianxet at the temperature of the room (210) in a darK closet excluded from the action of the sunlight. A series, of test tubes were taken and their closed ends broken open. Pieces of cover-glass, filter Daner and blanket were then placed in the tubes, the ends; of which were plugged with cotton and then carefudy Btenllzed. The object of this was to secure a normal circulation of air. The pieces of paper, glass and blanket were then Infected, each, with a drop of twenty-four hour old culture and the tubes placed in a dark closet.

At intervals of seven days these Infected pieces hav4 been removed and placed in fresh media. On ail these material the bacillus has i survived up to the date of this report, forty-two days. CONCLUSIONS. 1. The thermal death-point of this or ganism is one or two degrees higher than that of the majority of pathogenic bacteria of the non-aperulating variety.

2. Differing widely from cholera, sunlight and dessication cannot be relied upon to limit the viability of this bacillus under commercial circumstances, 3. Rags, mails, ballast and general merchandise coming from Infected ports should be. subjected at either the port of departure or the port of entry to a thorough system of disinfection. EFFECT OF VARIOUS "CHEMICAL DISINFECTANTS.

Experiments have been made In- this laboratory only with carbolic acid. It has beer found that an exposure for two hours to a 1 per cent, solution of carbolic acidi suffices to destroy the life of the bacillus. This observation has subsequently been confirmed by Kinyoun. I quote from 4 recent article by Dr. Wyman some experiments made in the laboratory of the Marine Hospital Service on cultures furnlHhed by this laboratory, on the value of different dtsiniecianis in destroying this (bacillus.

fHilss WHO IS A CONVALESCENT PATIENT IN EASTERN KENTUCKY INSANE ASYLUM, BUT THE LATTER DE-NJES ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THE CASE GOV. BRADLEY NOT LIKELY TO COMMUTE THE DEATH SENTENCESDETAILS OF THE CRIME. Frankfort, March 19. Scott Jack-eon and Alonzo Walling, condemned to die Saturday for the murder of Pearl Bryan, have made a last appeal to Gov. Braflley, in the hope of obtaining a commutation of sentence.

They have made a full confession of the murder, implicating Dr. George B. Wagner, a well-known physician of Bellevue, who Is now In an insane asylum at Lexington. Special Messengers Wade Ellis and J. W.

Allison arrived here last night and presented the confessions to Gov. Bradley In the handwriting of the two men. Jackson's confession covers seven pages of legal cap, while Waiting's covers three. Each story corroborates the. other.

In substance the confessions narrate the history of the meeting of Jackson and Walling, and of the procuring of the services of Dr: Wagner in behalf of Pearl Bryan. Pearl Bryan was written to go to Cincinnati, woich she did. She was met and taken to the house of Dr. Wagner. They arranged to go over to see her together on Friday, and Dr.

Wagner informed them that she was not dJing well, and expressed much concern about her condition. They returned on Friday night, and Jack son was sent to the drug store to get a prescription consisting of a white substance, which he gave her In a big doBe. He became much alarmed, and said he believed she was going to die, and that she did die. Dr. Wagner procured a hack which they thought was his own, and all three got into It, and drove to Fort Thomas.

The hack was stopped on an incline. All got out, an3 Jackson held the dead body of Pearl Bryan in his lap while Dr. Wagner cut her head off. He let the body fall, and it rolled down little slope. Dr.

Wagner then took the head, and wrapped it in the girl's cloak and placed It In her satchell. They were then all driven to the bridge crossing to Cincinnati, and got out and walked. Here they separated. Dr. Wagner afterward became Insane.

Jackson and Walling claim they do not know where Pearl Bryan's head was placed or what became of it. I Although Walling Is the least guilty in the affair. It is not believed that the Governor will Interfere, and both will hang. Lexington, March 19. The confession of Jackson and Walling Implicating Dr Wagner produced a big sensation here.

Dr. Wagner is a convalescent patient at the Eastern Kentucky Insane Asylum. When informed of the confession last night, he said: "I do not know either Scott Jackson Alonzo 'Walling. I did not know Pearl Bryan. I was not at home when tire tragedy was committed, or when the body was found.

I was at the home of my father-in-law, William Hern-don, In Jessemlne County. I know absolutely nothing about this case. Pearl Bryan may have been at my house during my absence, but I never heard it mentioned." Newport, March 19. Jackson and Walling were transferred to this city from Alexandria at noon to-day. and are now safely locked up in a cell In the county jail.

Everything is In readiness for the execution, which takes place at noon tomorrow A telegram from Frankfort says that troops will leave Frankfort on the Midland road at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
