Like wise parents, the mother and father of the girl are opposed to their daugher marrying the young man just at present, the stipulation being understood that if their love stands the test of a couple of years more, the wedding bells may ring.

Of late Misk Ullrich has been suffering from an attack of indigestion, for which a local physician pepsin preparation, which the girl kept handy in a closet, and from which she always took a dose as often as she felt an attack coming. Yesterday afternoon, after dinner, Miss Ullrich felt that she was going to be 111, and concluding that the familiar trouble was the cause, left the young man's side for few moments the purpose of taking a dose of her medicine. She went to the closet in the kitchen, which was slightly darkened, on account of the overhanging clouds, but, reaching up 'to the shelf, her fingers came in contact with a bottle which she believed to be her medicine, and, raising it hastily to her lips, she swallowed what she considered to be the right quantity. Immediately, her throat felt as if it were on Are, and she gave utterance to a succession of shrieks which brought the whole family to her side, among whom was Ryan. The young fellow grasped the situation in a moment.

Seizing the bottle, which the girl still held in her hand, he glanced at the label, which read, "corrosive sublimate." "Milk!" he cried. "Quick!" A bottle of milk was handed him, and the next moment he had lain the girl on a couch and had it to her lips. Miss Ullrich drank the entire contents, fully a quart. Satisfied that this part of the work was well done, he rushed out of the house to a drug store across the and called up the Bradford Street Hospital. Inside' of three minutes Dr.

Jones was in the house. The doctor gave her soap and water, in addition to the milk, along with other remedies, which he carried in his bag, and, placing Miss Ul1rich in the ambulance, hurried her off to the hospital, the young lover occupying a seat on the rear of the abulance alongside of the surgeon. At. the hospital other remedies were at once used, and after an hour's work Dr. Jones gave It as his opinion Miss hard, Ullreth would make a complete recovery.

PERILS OF SHORE DRIVEWAY.

Park Commissioner Will Not Be Responsible for Safety of Travel, Unless It Is Improved-Other Requisitions on Board of Estimate. Park Commissioner Young appeared before the Board of Estimate to-day and asked for an additional appropriation of $50,000 to repair the damage done by the recent storm in Prospect Park, Coney Island concourse, Seaside Park and the Shore road. Commissioner Young stated that he has appeared before the Board time and again relative to the dangerous condition of the Shore road, and added that he will no longer assume the responsibility of that thoroughfare. "The Shore road," said Mr. Young, "is in an unsafe condition.

In some places the road is only fifteen feet wide, which is not room enough for two vehicles to pass at the same time. If something is not done immediately, the Shore road will be useless for traffic under prevailing conditions. I will no longer be held responsible for the safety of those who use that thoroughfare." Commissioner Young stated the new bulkheads saved Seaside Park at Island from being destroyed during Friday's storm. Although the bulkheads were somewhat damaged by the buffeting of waves sixty feet high, they can be easily repaired and at slight cost. The greatest damage done was in Prospect Park, Commissioner Young said.

The lake at the south end of the Park cverflowed the banks, and ruined the bridlepath and carriage-ways to such extent that they will have to be entirely rebuilt. lion The Coney Island concourse was only slightly damaged considering the force of the waves. Comptroller Grout remarked that he noticed the havoc done by the storm in Prospect Park, and added that he had been informed that the Coney Island Concourse had been entirely destroyed. Commissioner Young stated that the Comptroller had been misinformed concerning the damage. He said that the damage can be repaired at very little cost.

Comptroller Grout said that as the estlmates for the budget for 1904 are all in missioner Young can only secure the additional appropriation of $50,000 by having a resolution introduced before the of Aldermen for the amount asked. The City Magistrates of the Second DivisIon asked for an appropriation of $198,000 for 1904, as against $173,000 for the present year. This is an Increase of $25,000. The City Magistrates were represented by Magistrates Tighe, Furlong and Dooley. Magistrate Tighe, who was spokesman, asked for four probationary officers at a salary of $600 a year, and four Italian and two German interpreters.

Magistrate Wilkin, of the Children's Court, presented an estimate of the expenses of the Children's Court and the Court of Special Sessions. The Children's Court, he said, would require $12,200, and the Court of Special Sessions $63,400. The combined increase over the figures of 1903 1s $4.700. Other Kings County estimates presented were Supreme Court, $218,700 against $212,900 In 1903; County Court, $108,325 against Surrogate's office, $75,750 against $63,800, and Sheriff's office, $122,900 against $116,500. BUILDING OPERATIONS.

Brooklyn Has Gone Well Ahead, While Manhattan and the Bronx Have Moved Crab-Like. Supt. William Calder's quarterly report for the period from January 1 to September 30 is one of the most favorable ever issued from the local Bureau of Buildings.

This 1s an indication of general prosperity here." The comparative tables of operations in this borough, Manhattan and the Bronx show that Brooklyn is far ahead of the boroughs across the from the standpoint of the building trade.

HIS WIFE HAD DESERTED HIM. This Made Him Despondent, and He Was Eager to 1 ie-Only Released Last Friday, After a Fervent Plea on His Part. John Hudson, an 55 years old, was found dead this morning in a stable at 40 Kent avenue. His throat was cut from ear to ear and alongside his body was Zound a knife with which he had committed suicide. Hudson formerly lived in the neighborhood of the stable.

He was a sober, industrious man. About a month ago when he returned home he found that his wife, who was younger than he was, had disappeared and had taken nearly all of the furniture with her. This completely broke his heart. About a week later he was found in his apartments with his throat cut. A physician who was summoned dressed the wound and the man's life was saved.

A week later Hudson made another attempt on his life by cutting his throat. This time he inflicted a severe gash. He was attended by an ambulance surgeon from the Eastern District Hospital and taken to that institution. On Friday of last week he was arraigned in the Lee Avenue Police Court before Magistrate Higginbotham. He said then that he had no recollection of the attempt he made on his life; that his mind had been upset by his wife's action.

Magistrate Higginbotham fixed bail at $1,000, but Hudson made such a fervent plea for his release that the Magistrate finally agreed to let him go on the promise would not make another attempt on his life. "I have had trouble enough," said Hudson. "I will try and get on my feet again." Magistrate Higginbotham told the man that if he ever needed assistance to come to court and he would receive it. Hudson got Into the stable late in the afternoon land remained in one of the lofts unobserved. He probably cut his throat about 10 o'clock, for when a physician was called to attend him this morning he expressed the opinion that the man had been dead for about six hours.

The body was taken to the Bedford Avenue Station and unless It is claimed to-day it will be transferred to the morgue. THIS IS A RECORD BREAKER.

Nellie Warner, of 737 Lexington avenue, was shown the statement alleged to have been made by her In a morning paper, In reference to a half dozen threatening letters, warning her to stop instructing Chinamen in the mission, she at first emphatically denied all knowledge of the anonymous epistles. "You did not receive a single letter?" queried the reporter. No answer. When pressed for a reply she finally admitted there had been letters, but she would not disclose the nature of their contents. "You reporters have said so many untrue things about us, and bothered us so much, that Mr.

Warner and I have decided to give no more information to the press. They said that Hu Tom was my pupil. He never was my pupil," said the missionary. "Will you kindly give me a copy of one of the letters, so that-" Rang! went the hall door, and the reporter heard the ke key grate in the lock, informing him a pleasant little interview was ended. FIGHTING THE TROLLEY.

A Saratoga Avenue School Board Meets and Adopts Resolutions. The local School Board for District No. 36, is determined to oppose to the last the building of the proposed trolley line on Saratoga avenue. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company has held a franchise on this street for several years past, and within the past year an agitation by some citizens living east of Broadway, for the construction of this line has arisen. It appears that no general demand has been made by those living on either side of Saratoga avenue from Halsey street to Fulton.

The local School Board has decided to learn the opinions of the people along Saratoga ing a there, and with this end avenue, relative, to the desirability of havview they have secured signatures and written protests. A special meeting of the local School Board for District No. 36 was held last Friday night, In School No. 26, Quincy street, near Ralph avenue. There were present at the meeting Frank L.

Brown, M. Dobbs, Secretary; Reinhart H. Pforr, Chairman; James Mrs. George Spanier, Mrs. Casimer Yasinski, Gen.

George W. Wingate, of the Board of Education, and District Superintendent Edward B. Shallow. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: Whereas, It proposed to construct 8 trolley roadroad on Saratoga avenue, on which Public School No. 137 is whom is attended by 1,450 children, 1,300 of school located.

This are between five and ten years of To operate a line of trolley cars in age. school would threaten the lives front of the of this large number of children who attend it, and greatly impair its usefulness. The detriment and danger thus resulting to the school, and the anxiety to the people whose chilthis dren attend it, would, in the judgment of Board, be much greater than the alleged benefits to those who advocate the building of the road. Resolved, That the local Board for district No. 36, earnestly protest against the con1 struction of a proposed trolley rallroad Saratoga avenue in front of Public School No.

137, and be It further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be The Metrostyle Pianola WHAT IS TECHNIQUE? TECHNIQUE in piano-playing means the purely mechanical part of it--manipulating the keys in strict accordance with the printed score. Because of the extreme difficulty of playing many of the greatest compositions an adequate technique is very hard to acquire--and, having acquired, to maintain. For this reason, those who play the, Piano, with their fingers are obliged to practice "exercises" order to educate and keep in training their muscles for the work. Those who play the Piano with the Pianola are saved all this, as an accurate Technique, available to all, whether musicians or not, is furnished by the music rolls which form part of the Pianola system. Wonderful and helpful as this is, it is not everything.

Technique alone may be likened to the body of a beautiful creation in which the soul is lacking. WHAT IS INTERPRETATION? INTERPRETATION supplies the lacking Soul. Interpretation is intelligence--inspiration, conveyed in the illimitable temposhading, rhythmical accents, pauses and sudden crashes that distinguish the performance of an artist. To the person who knows little or nothing of music, even the most faultless Technique is simply a wonderful tool, without the knowledge how to use it. To all such especially, the continuous line on the music rolls prepared for the Metrostyle Pianola is of the utmost importance.

indicating, as it does, an Interpretation which though invariably authoritative and artistic, may be varied indefinitely by those who prefer a different rendering.

A mass meeting for the purpose of protesting against the construction of the railroad will probably be arranged for at an early date. 15-YEAR-OLD GIRL MISSING. Mabel M. Purdy's Parents Fear Harm Has Befallen Her.

Mabel M. Purdy, the fifteen-year-old daughter of George Purdy, of 301 Schenck avenue, East New York, has been missing from her home since Saturday morning, and grave fears are entertained by her parents that some harm has befallen her. Mabel was employed in the hose supporter factory of E. A. Ginsberg, at 155 Wooster street, Manhattan.

Queer Actions Led to Arrest of SelfStyled President of "Horse Thieves' Association." Court Officer Muldoon, who is attached to Gates Avenue Court, while passing the the corner of Broadway and Gates avenue, at 9:30 o'clock, this morning, saw a young colored man plump down on his knees in the middle of the street, where he prayed fervently, and for his "amen," up a handful ocf dirt, and ate it. The officer, who was in a hurry to get to court, sent a around to the Ralph Avenue Stasmall boy tion, for another officer to take charge of case, as he concluded that all was not right.

Policeman McCabe was sent around to the place by Capt. Miles O' Reilly, and found the colored man still on his knees in the middle of the street, exhorting A large crowd of young hoodlums to repent ere they be overtaken by the wrath to come. He was still on his dirt diet. The officer took him in. "At the station house, the colored man gave his name as Frederick Harris.

He could not tell his residence, certain that he was President of the Horse Thieves' As'sociation, and he was very serious about it. Nothing was found on his person to indicate his exact identity, and as his talk was incoherent, he was hurried off to the Gates Avenue Court, where Magistrate Naumer committed him to the Kings County Jail, there to have his mentality examined into.

In the course of a sermon on "'The Political Conscience as Reflected in Fusion-Tammany Mix Up," the Rev. Robert MacDonald, pastor of the Washington Avenue Baptist Church, last night paid his respects to Comptroller Grout. He said: It is an astounding spectacle, that of an officer of our city who for two years discharged faithfully his duty and so pleased his supporters that his renomination was practically assured and he was secure of success in the election, accepting the nomination also from a party whose motives he hag distrusted all his life and whose principles he has assailed. His reward is repudiation of party and, strangely, anathemas from his new choice, and public opinion seems to be that it will be political oblivion for him, whether he is successful or not. How shall we estimate him in the terms of manhood? Because every political question is in the first instance a question of manhood, and in the last analysis must be resolved into a question of manhood.

If citizens place in nomination a man who is not a representative of their moral condition the reflection is upon themselves. Shall we say this man is unprincipled, absolutely unprincipled, that in his heart he believes the police question, for instance can be settled as well under one administration as under another, that he is for spoils, that the organization which was a stench in his nostrils is now a sweet smelling savor to him? Shall we say that instead of a statesman he is nothing but a politician, that he is determined to ascend the throne of power no matter by what method, or shall we say that he is a traitor, a Benedict Arnold, who has sold his country for less than Judas Iscariot when he sold his Master for thirty pieces of silver? I feel myself not to be the advocate of any party. My purpose is to do what the medical student does when the dead body is brought to him. He cuts that body to pleces find out what is in it, to apply the information to the use of the living. I am simply putting in the psychological scalpel and trying to find a municipal serum that will make for better municipal life.

How can a man be trusted on two opposite platforms and can he be trusted to attack from the inside? Is the indorsement of evil so necessary to the triumph of good government that it must depend on evil methods for success? The question resolves itself into an ethical situation. First-Mr. Grout decides to be a law unto himself-a brilliant free-lance that does not desire to be trammeled by tradition, custom, or law. Does he not realize that this is a very serious step? The greatest criminal never did anything worse than away from the established customs of rectito break tude. No man can be a law unto himself and do right.

this man wants other men to take his interpretation of is right and what is what cannot see it that way wrong. and condemns The public him ethically. so badly that his as if he wanted power Secondly, looks When a moral stand judgment is warped. man will on two platforms ag diametrically opposed as light and darkness or heaven and hell, it looks was power for himself that he aims as if it at.
