Ell A meeting Is being held In Manhattan to-day to ratify the tentative agreement teached yesterday, for the purpose of ending the existing labor troubles. Yesterday the Building Trades Council and the employers made mutual concessions. The Building Trades Council agrees to waive the demand that the teamsters' union be recognised. The drivers, however, are to retain their organisation. In th event of this agreement being ratified all the lumber yards will re-open and the trouble will come to a speedy end and the lumber yards will be opened for business, enabling the contractors to get all the material they desire.

This afternoon many of the Brooklyn lumber men are attending the meeting In Manhattan, and It Is probable that business will be resumed all along the line wlthlh a day or two. In various parts of the several boroughs men are returning to their work In the various trades. Strikes of machinists were ordered yesterday in the shops of these Brooklyn firms, to enforce the demands for a minimum wage of 33 a day, which have been refused by the National Metal Trades Association: Boston Dry Dock Company, Ross Iron Works, Elsessers Iron Works, Morse Iron Works, Columbia Engineering Works, Hall A Hurlbert and the Robert White Engineering 'Works. No strikes have been ordered in Manhattan, Richmond or Jersey City. Policemen were still on guard to-day at the Hecla Iron Works, but there was no attempt on the part of the strikers to Interfere In any way with the men who have now gone back to work.

When Francis Jackson, the secretary and treasurer of the works, was seen to-day he said that about four hundred men were back at work, which Included all the locked-our men, some of the strikers and about ten new men who have been engaged to take the place of the strikers. INIS TO ATTEND I DIFFERENT Daniel Farrell, proprietor of a laundry at Bergen street and Albany avenue, and residing at J872 Bergen street, was In the Gates Avenue Court this morning on a charge of resisting an officer and refusing to send his son to school. Truant Officer James Bello on the stand testified that he went to Farrell's house on Dec. 19, last, to see why he did not send his son to school. Farrell, according to the truant officer, expressed deep Indignation and said that the city authorities were hounding him to death.

He was subsequently served with a summons to appear before Magistrate Furlong, but he did not appear. Later on another summons from Magistrate Steers waa served, which was also disregarded. Counsel for the defendant told the court that his client was laboring under the hallucination that the city authorities were hounding him; that he had suffered from a gathering In the head which augmented the hallucination; that he really should not be held responsible for any heated language he had used in connection with the city government or the officials of the School Board Mrs. Farrell, wife of the defendant on the stand, testified that her son did not want to go to School 80, but was willing to go to 8chool 83. which was not in his district, but was nearer to his home.

She said she wanted her boy to get a good education, but that he absolutely refused to go to School No. 80. Magistrate Naumer asked if some arrangement could not be made so that the boy could go to School No. 83, and paroled the defendant to Special Sessions. FOR KIEL REOITTI With bands playing and flags flying, the battlestap Kearsarge left the Navy Yard this morning at 11 30 for Southampton, EnglanJ.

NOT THE ORldlNAL SILSBES. h- In a notice the other night In one of the Brooklyn paper about the cloaing ef Sllsbes restaurant, Fulton street, near Elm place, the inference was left to the readef that It tea the original Sllabes that had closed Its doors.

This was entirely wrong, as the original place, started by the founder of the business. Is still open at thefold stand, Fulton and Johnson streets, where It was started by John Bllsbe, who, years ago, came from Patchogue, Lng Island, and opened a restaurant on Myrtle avenue, near Franklin, after which he removed to Sixth avenue and Thirty-ninth street, New York, and finding hat location not suitable In those days, came lower down tcwji to Sixth avenue and Fourteenth street, where he made his place one of the most famous In New York. Later on, on the occasion of the opening of the Bridge, he opened the Brooklyn place, on the corner of Fulton and Johnson streets, and this store has been the successful Sllsbes of Brooklyn, and was conducted by Mr. Sllsbes sons, later by a cousin, who still owns It, and la now managed for film by Mr. George W.

and several of the original help of the first Sllsbes store are still In Its employ, notably Billy LInooln, who opened oysters In the Myrtle avenue store years ago, and who still extracts the luscious blValve from the shell at the comer oi Fulton and Johnson streets.

The Great Pan-American Success Has Been Added to the Attractions of Luna Park. Luna Park may become hlstorlo through giving a President to the United States.

Who can tell? The Infant incubators, which opened to-day, are perhaps the most wonderful of all the wonderful exhibits at New Yorks World Fair, which has become the glowing and pulsing heart of Coney Island, will do much more this summer than contribute to the entertainment of the many thousands who go down there to seek healthful relaxation In the ozone bf the ocean. la perfecting the work of nature In the case of llttlq lives which have been endangered by premature advent Into this great world of ours. This lx something much more wonderful that the possibility that among the little ones saved to humanity by this beneficent and elevating exhibition there may be a boy whose destiny Is to grow up and fill the highest position In the gift of our American citizenship. But it requires no such speculative peering Into the future as this is to create in this feature of the marvelous aggregation of sights to be found In this new electric city by the sea. Mankind would be Inferior to the rest of the animal kingdom If It did not feel drawn tenderly toward Its own offspring In Its helpless stages.

Maid as well as mother yields to the natural womanly love for the lllttle ones; and the true man confesses no weakness In betraying the traces of gentleness which the presence of an Infant evokes. The more helpless the child the more tender the feeling Tor It. Thus it come that maids as well as mothers, men as well as women, are attracted to the beautiful edifice In Luna Park devoted to the exemplification of the infant Incubator system. It is not a mere show; it Is an educational exhibition, behind which Is one of the most genuine philanthropies in existence. The building wherein the Incubator's exhibit Is to be seen was especially designed and constructed for the demonstration.

Every facility has been provided for the work in hand, which Is under the direction of a skilled medical staff, assisted by a corps of nurses who have been trained with a view to what Is practically a new line In their profession. Infants bom one, two and three months ahead of time have to be carefully attended In the little glass receptacles, where an even temperature and an even supply of sterilized air, with occasional supplies of more Substantial nourishment, enable them to develop into the proverblaly cherubic form of the healthy new bom babe. Then, like choice, exotics, they are submitted to the neat and sweet smelling nurseries to a tempering process, from which they eventually go forth and grow ths same as other chll-dien grow. When Tt Is taken Into account that fully elghty-flve per cent, ef the Infants submitted to the Incubator system are saved from almost Inevitable death the value of such an exhibition as this, w-lth Its Interest, as displaying a unique phasa in the development of modem science, la apparent. It certainly proves Itself one bf the strongest attractions ever placed before the public before.
