President Roosevelt has determined to flnil out what a number of American men-of-war can accomplish. The display of a number of good warships Is a method of procedure that even a master of diplomatic trickery, such as the Sultan of Turkey, cannot fall to appreciate to the fullest extent, and If he Is wise lie will "come down." This country has stood the Insolence Turkey's ruler long enough. The time has arrived when we should claim our rights, and obtain them, at any cost.

Incidentally tbe genus reporter came In for a lot of hard opinions. "A reporter." one young man was saying, Is nothing more than a public gossip, a man paid to ferret out scandals In peaceful communities, and to create disturbances In cases where they will prove the most sensational and where they will permit the Instigator to escape unscathed. In other words, they are trouble hunters and tale bearers." At this point a younger sister, who had been listening quite Intently to the above tirade, 'broke In with a pertinent query: "Are they real men?" she asked.

The older sister hesitated. "They look like human beings," she answered, "but they lack common sense In most cases, although many of them are possessed of an Intelligence almost human." "They must be monkeys," decided the kid, "for monkeys carry talis and they look like men." At this point some charitably disposed person kindly changed the ano the Observer left the assemblage engaged in an animated conversation over the question of the durability of pongee coats and white duck suits. his wetting, but sober and well scared. "What did you fall overboard for7" asked one of his fellow passengers. "I think you're getting mooney." "No," replied the wet one, with ready wit, "I'm only halt-mooney, and we're all In the samo boat." WOMEN ON FLYING MACHINES.

Angola Listens to Mamma Grow Rapturous on the Suhjectj Then Dilates in a Different Direction Herself. "Angela?" asked (her mamma, "did you see all that In the paper this morning about flying machines? I declare! What a world what an age we are living In! I suppose the next thing they'll have will be a brcathlnu machine to keep dead people alive." "It frightens me," commented the owner oi the foregoing name timidly. "Nonsense, child," was tho reassuring rejoinder, "there is nothing about It that will hurt any one and any way the wings will be llxed so that if one breaks the other will carry you gently to the earth." "Well, 1 don't think I shall ever ride one." "Of course you will if every on else does" "But everyone else won't." "You don't know. Did women ever think thev, would ride the bicycle. I have no doubt every one will have them.

I can Just picture myself going shopping on Fulton street In the morning and calling in tho afternoon. The children will havo a special size and I see myself Just as plain standing out there by the gate and trying them on a flyer and giving them a little boost in the direction of the school house." "Yes, that sounds perfectly lovely, but It will be a very different thing when you come to try It. How would you feel sailing over the heads of a lot of men in the street with an elevator sensation at your stomach and your eyes bulging?" "But, Angela, you know the Inventor has promised that we can ride face down. That means tho body will be level with the earth. Of course, the divided skirt will immediately come into fashion and there won't be any trouble, I'm sure." "Why, mamma, any one would think you Intended to become a devotee of the flying machine the moment It comes out.

What do you suppose father would say If he should come down the street some evening from business and behold your two hundred or more pounds floating up by the chimney?" "I guess I would look as well In one as anyone else," replied the offended, but still enthusiastic mother. "Yes, I can see you flying down town to shop. You'd get twisted up In the first telegraph or trolley wire that you passed, and then, good-by. They will be running ambulances instead of trolley cars on the main streets when flying machines come out. Kut that won't be the worst of it; they will he putting sidewalks and lemonade booths along our roofs.

People will be throwing peanut shells and burned cigars down the chimneys, and looking down the skylights. A person who tries to look out of an upper window will probably be struck in the head by a lighting man and carried bodly to the street. Oh! women will have a beautiful time when flying machines get here. There won't be a real bird left on earth after the Imitation ones get fairly launched. They will be all scared away.

Fancy a helpless old lady of seventy dropping down past ycur upper window with her hair streamlne-skywards, and dropping combs and hairpins into the street. The hairpin business will boom. There will be no more catching criminals unless the police invent a flying poll patrol, and I defy them to do that. Tho only way left to catch a man who steils a loaf of bread, will be to shoot him. Then instead of using a revolver and doing it decently, they'll use a shot gun.

Balloon baseball will be Invented, and the people who watch will sit on grand stands on toJ of your house. As for sky scrapers, they wll grow twice as high because the people ill get into the way of living up in air. They won't need elevators any more. Why kite flying in China will be stopped! poor woman there won't be anything left of her. She will be an earth worm, whllo the man will be the bird.

She will tMve to walk alone Instead of In the company of her husband. He will be flying all over the earth, and she won't, be able to keep track of him to keep him out of mischief. Well, you have my opinion of flying machines. I hope to goodness they never come out." FOREIGN NOTES OF INTEREST.

They desire that marriage should mean more to them than taking advan tage of the first opportunity to fill the place tradition has accorded them In the scheme of human relations. But the article is not valuable so much for the importance of Its negntlon as for Its revelation of a deliberate, dispassionate, unsentimental selfishness, which is the result of the modern so-called spirit of Independence.

It makes the arbitrary exaction of egoism Of great er moment than the self-abnegating significance of an altruistic ideal, and in so doing defeats Its own end. Because the best happiness and highest usefulness Is not found by those who are at heart purely self-seeking in the matter. It comes to those only who know how to be really un selfish. Assuming degree of mental and moral stamina, the Intuitive dictates of the heart are generally worth more than the sophistry of the ages. After all, Bachelor Maid's article need not be taken too seriously.

It Is but an expression of personal opinion, which will change entirely when she meets Mr. "Right." The question of affinity may not lie as easy to solve as formerly, but It Is always possible of solution. PEANUT POLITICS TO THE FRONT. Can the delicate tracery of "peanut" poll-tics be discovered in the story that comes from Indianapolis, or is Chairman Taggart putting himself in evidence as an apt disciple of David B. Hill? The story is to the effect thaV an effort Is being made to confuse the public of Indiana as to the identity of Senator Fairbanks by creating the impression that he is a brewer.

It appears that one Crawford Fairtianks, of Terre Haute, is in the brewery business, and makes a pretty good article of beer, which is well and favorably known In all parts of the State. His bearing of the name of the Republican nominee for Ice President has afforded the chance for a roorback, which, like most of these pleasant little amenities of Democratic politicians, will meet with a speedy death. It Is reported that many Republicans of Southern Indiana have taken the story seriously, but as there Is plenty of time before election to dispose of the story, not a vote will be lost through It to the Re publican party. The Republican managers throughout the State are somewhat at a loss as to whether the story originated In the Democratic or Prohibition camp, but wherever Its origin, the fact that It has obtained some credence throughout Indiana does not speak volumes for the In telligence of those residents who have ac cepted It as truth. At any rate, It's a very thin and gauzy attempt to turn a few votes over to the Democratic or Prohibi tion party.

Ex-Lieut. -Gov. Sheehan, familiarly known as "Blue-eyed Billy," is said to be ambitious to succeed Chauncey M.

His friends claim that Judge Par ker, whose closest friend Sheehan is said to be, favors the gratification of his ambition.

It Is just possible, hpwever, that August Belmont nourishes an ambition of the same sort, and Belmont stands closest of all to the trust Interests that at present seem to be supreme in the Democratic rarty.

T. W. J. SUNSHINE AND FUN. Plattdeutscher Festival Ends in a Blaze of Glory at TJlmer Park Shooting King Crowned.

Favored by exceedingly good weather, the closing day of the annual popular festival of the Flattdeutscher Volkefest Vereln of Brooklyn, held at Ulmer Park, (yesterday proved a big success. The park was crowd ed. and the visitors seemed to enjoy them- selves thoroughly. Financially the festival will not prove as successful as former af fairs. This Is due to the fact that the first days of the festival were seriously Interfered with by the very unfavorable weather conditions.

Among the guests at the affair yes terday were the United Singers of Brooklyn. who were to have their annual meeting at the park. No meeting was held, on account of the absence of President August H. Tie mann and Vice President Henry Ploch, who attended the concert of the United Singers at Fort Greene. Oeerge H.

Tleck responded to the address of welcome of President Hen ry Rehse, of the Plattdeutsohers. The Hud son County Plattdeutscher Club cams vary late and was heartily welcomed. One of the first organizations to visit the park was the Red Cross Life-saving Corps of Fort Hamilton, which gave an exhibition at Camp City, Ulmer Park, during the afternoon, which proved highly Interesting to the many spectators. The chief attraction last evening was the crowning of the King of Marksmen (Sohuet- sen Koenlg), by Miss Annie Lubbens. The affair was attended with much ceremony.

The Brooklyn Times never allowed Itself to doubt that Judge Parker would resign bis seat on the bench of the Court of Appeals in time to permit the political parties to place In the field candidates for the office.

To do otherwise would have been an act of perfidy to the party that nominated him for President, of which Judge Parker Is justly regarded as incapable; It would have lieen a confession of. weakness and fear of defeat that woukl have handicapped his party in the campaign, and If the election should result In his favor it would have given a Republican Governor the opportunity to appoint a Republican as bis successor. There were other considerations which seemed to require bis prompt resignation from the bench, but these were sufficient to influence his action, and his course in acting promptly in the matter is worthy of commendation. Judge Parker's retirement from the bench compete the election of two Judges of the Court of Appeals this year, as Judge Celora E. Martin's term expires this year.

There seems to be a widespread feeling in favor of taking the Court of Appeals out of politics by an agreement upon Judge Edgar SI. Cullen for Chief Judge, and Judge Werner, of Rochester, as Judge Martin's euccessor. Judges Cullen and Werner were originally elected to the Supreme Court, and hold the placeB they now occupy in the Court of Appeals by designation of Gov. Odell. There is no opposition among Democrats to the nomination of Judge Cullen for Judge Parker's place, while the Republicans appear to be agreed that Judge Werner will he the party candidate to succeed Judge Martin.

Both are able jurists and strong candidates, and it would be the part of good policy to leave partisan politics out of the discussion and elect them both unanimously. There has been some talk among Democrats of naming Justice D. Cady Herrick. of Albany, for Judge Martin's place. It Is hardly prdbable that even the desirability, from the Hill standpoint, of conciliating the Herrick following In Albany, will con strain the Democratic leaders in the State to do anything quite so foolish.

The Republicans can well afford to go ahead and name Cullen and Werner as their can didates, in the full assurance that the Democrats will follow suit. If the Dem oeratlc state Convention should, under such circumstances, decide to name a straight Democratic judiciary ticket, the reaction of public sentiment against such a course would almost Inevitably prove disastrous to the whole Democratic ticket in the State. THE TIME FOR WARSHIPS. President Roosevelt has decided that the time is ripe to show the cunning Sultan of Turkey that the United States Is tired of diplomacy, and desires a plain yes or no to certain demands we have made on that elusive ruler. The European squadron, consisting of the Olympla, Baltimore and Cleveland, under command of Rear Admiral Jewell, has (been ordered to Smyrna, where it will await further Instructions hy the State Department.

In addition to this force, the six battleships of the North Atlantic Squadron, which have been cruising in European waters, will await Instruction at Gibraltar, before sailing for home. If it is necessary to call upon their services to bring Turkey to terms, they will be thus easily available to swell our naval force at Smyrna. While the grievances of the United States against Turkey have not as yet been clearly defined, they doubtless consist in fact that the Porte has refused to allow the United States a jireper representation at ConBtantlnrjple, thus enabling this country to obtain the same courteous diplomatic treatment that is accorded the representatives of other countries of the globe. We have financial questions, matters, of a great importance, regarding the status of American citizens pending in Turkey, and the Sultan has with the greatest regularity refused a personal in terview with Minister Lelshman, In order that these matters may be discussed. Ev ery attempt of our Minister of late to have an Interview with the Sultan has met with the same fate, and yet at the same time the representatives of Great Brit ain, Germany; France and other countries have met with most courteous treatment at the hands of Turkey's ruler.

This country has now arrived at the conclusion that It Is big enough to be speak for itself something of deference and decency at the hands of the arrogant little ruler. If frank and honest diplo macy li not understood at the seat of the Turkish Government, at Constantinople, THE BRITISH AT LHASA. The arrival nf the British mission, escoi-ed by a strong force under command of Gen. Macdonald, under the walls ot in sacred city of Lhasa, may be taken as one of the material advantages directly accruing to Great Britain from the outbreak of the war between Russia and Japan. It Is true that the expedition was organized by Lord Curzon, after much vigorous expostulation and argument with the Home Government, before there seemed any certainty that the strained relations between Japan nnd Russia would result in war, but it was well understood that the outbreak of hostilities between the two Powers was only a question of a short time, snd Oureon made arrangements for the despatch of Col.

Younghusband's mission, accompanied by a military escort of much less formidable proportions than would have been deemed necessary had Russia been unhampered liy the complications existing in Manchuria. There had been ample provocation for the advance of the British into Thibet. Not only had the existing treaties between the Indian Government and Thibet, sanctioned by China, the Thibetan suzerain, been persistently violated, but repeated expostulations and requests for explanation or conference were contemptuously returned unopened and unanswered. If such con duct could be tolerated on the part of a petty frontier State, immediately adjoining the Indian border, the result would be a speedy weakening of the prestige that Is the foundation of British authority in the East. Russian diplomacy has been working steadily for years to accomplish this result, and Its success In Impressing the Thibetans with the belief that Russia was the only Power worth taking into account has been sufficiently shown 1y the insolent attitude of the Dalai Lama towards Great Britain.

China, which Is the nominal suzerain of Thibet, has been willing to use Its Influence to Induce the Thibetans to respect their treaties, but China has of late been so completely under Russian Influence that It lias been unable to exert the authority It formerly possessed. The British have encountered little serious opposition in their advance to the Forbidden City, compared with what they would have met had Russia been In a position to extend to the Grand Lama the material as sistance which it promised and upon which the Thibetans confidently relied. With the aid in men and guns which Russia could and doubtless would have given without any open violation of neutrality. If her hands had been free, it would have been a comparatively easy matter to have held the Himalayan passes against any force that Britain is prepared to send upon such an adventure. But Russia was helpless, and her prestige, so far as concerns Thibet and the Indian border States, is hopelessly and Irretrievably shattered.

BACHELOR MAIDS AND MARRIAGE With a view to getting an expression of opinion which might be regarded as the opinion of a class of "Intelligent and cultured" women as to their apparent reluctance to enter the matrimonial state, the Independent recently Invited "an attrac tive and able young professor in one of our universities" to frankly express herself on the subject: This request called forth an article, "Why I Do Not Marry, by a bachelor maid. For reasons which may be inferred, the name of the writer Is not given.

Her opinions are probably honestly given, but it Is not easy to Imagine that any one would wish to be known to the public as the author of such sentiments. The tenor of the article mav be judged from the following leading paragraphs: The bald truth Is that nearly every quality commonly recommended for cultivation hy the ideal wife Is one that I lack and do not wish fto possess! I am not attracted by the triumphs of that art which manages a husband and yet leaves him In the unshaken conviction that he Is managing you; I do not thrill with tender delight at the thought of "being taken care of;" I eh-en lock that traditional Instinct universally declared to be as essential a part of woman as any of her physical organs the Imperative need of a husband of such superior intelligence that he may be "looked up to." It Is altogether heterodox. I know, but, honestly, if one of us has got to be a- fool, I should enjoy a great deal more complacency in feeling that my hus-hand was that one. The married life of whbh I have permitted myself to dream contains a husband who may be an Intellectual companion, who may be willing even proud to give ine encouragement and Inspiration to develop in my chosen field of work, as I. In turn, would offer appreciative sympathy to him what my various lovers have desired In me is, as It appears, a mother for their children.

I am not prepared to sav that I abso lutely refuse to accept the charge of motherhood, but I do refuse I have no words to express the loathing with which I regard the Idea to bp looked upon as a mere means of swelling the census report. Stripped of Its fine language, that Is what all this prating of the beauty of large families amounts to. I do not believe that there Is, or ever has been, a large family which resulted from anything so high-minded as the deliberate desire of both par ents to rear goon citizens tor the Mtate. If I may have children decentlv which Is to say. if I may have the right to decide when and In what numbers they may come I may perhaps as a married woman feel that they more than repay the suffering attendant unon motherhood, since under those conditions that suffering will not he sharnened bv lnfcn of my Ttn.

if. on the other hand, should still feel as I am Inclined to now, that I am one of that class of women who can do more for the world, and have their lives more complete, by following a career which does not ad mit of the strlctlons of motherhood. I shall expect the right man to acquiesce In my views, no matter wnat may he the criticism' of a clamorous public. And he will, If he Ibe. Indeed, "right.

But I do not count much upon finding him, because I seem to have looked over the assortment pretty thoroughly already. In "defense" of the married state, Marlon Harland was asked to answer this article. and did so, using some time-honored argu ments, and quoting in favor of mutual happiness from marriage. But. of course, no arguments could have an effect upon those committed to the frame of mind of the bachelor maid writer.

Such discussions are Interesting, but not It is tbe old question of whether the shield la of PERSONALMENTION. Prof. Eugene C. Morris, of Putnam avenue. Is spending his vacation at the summer residence of Commodore George W.

To the Editor of the Brooklyu Timee: SIR: In Friday's Issue of your paper an article appears supposedly quoting John F. Dwyer. It states that "a meeting was arranged by Sheriff Hesterberg' friends, at which, after refreshments were served, they endorsed Mr. Dwyer for leader." In fairness to the onlv political organization that has held a meeting of this kind In which Sheriff Hesterberg haB been directly interested. I should be pleased to have you publish the following: A meeting of the Parker and Dnvls Com-palgn Club was held at Cohmlal Hall, and Sheriff Hesterberg and some live hundred residents of the Eighteenth Asssembly District were present.

Speeches were made, refreshments served and two hundred and thirty-four new members admitted to the club. Resolutions endorsing the national ticket. Senator P. Mciarren and the leadership of Sheriff Hesterberg. were passed amidst cheers and without one dissenting voice.

August 6, 1904. NEW JERSEY TUNNEL TERMINI. The application of the New York and New Jersey Railroad Company, pending before the Rapid Transit Commission, leave to extend Its tunnel from Its Christopher street ferry terminal, uptown to Sixth avenue and Thirty-third street. Herald Square, and down-town to Ninth street and Fourth avenue. Cooper square, seems to have so much common sense and public service behind It that there should be no doubt or delay in favorable action.

The engineering obstacle has been overcome by the consent of the tunnel company to go below any possible extension of the subway system soon to be opened, and the great Importance of the proposed lines Is too obvious for explanation. Nobody wants to stop at Christopher street and North River, but the proposed termini sre great distributing points, greater, perhaps, than any other In the city, and the tunnel might almost as well not be built if it cannot reach them.

While riding on the Tuxedo "Ma May o( the Erie Railroad Want recently, two women and a little boy about seven years to Use It" old, occupied a seat near me. The little fellow had a small box of ginger snaps, which he finished Just about as Tuxedo, the most aristocratic stopping place along the Erie, was reached. After he had eaten the last cracker he said: 'Mamma, shall I throw the box away7" answered his mother. "And the paper, too?" meaning the waxed tissue paper which surrounded the crackers to keep them from becoming moist.

"Yes. why not?" asked the other woman with the little lad. Just at this point the train started up, making considerable noise, but in a voice loud enough to be heard above It all, the lad exclaimed: "Because mamma might want to use It to carry her lunch In!"

I promptly concluded that 'Sas' was no longer In the land of the living, but In order to make doubly sure I sent a letter In which I said: 'I am ready now to pay what I owe you.

He clapped the Observer solemnly on the back as he spied a young man, whose hair was already plentifully streaked with grey, making a bolt for a Broadway dean ery, carrying on one arm several bundles of rhubarb, on which rested several loaves of bread. Judging UP the shape of the parcels; In the other hand he carried a package that was undoubtedly wrapped up by a butcher's clerk. 'Poor ejaculated the Philosopher, 'he has my sympathy. Not all of us fellows who get married get spliced to ready made housewives." 'Do you know queried the Observer, on the still hunt for information.

'Not replied the Observer's wise friend, 'but I've seen him do the same trick three times a day for the last two weeks. Goes In that beanery about an hour before breakfast time each morning loaded down with household supplies, eats a bite and then sprints off in the direction of South Ninth street with his burden. At dinner and supper time It's the same performance over again." 'Nothing very remarkable about that, is queried the Observer. 'Say, you must be sarcastically rejoined the Philosopher.

In Jamaica Bay, when a boat has outlived Its usefulness she Is dismantled and a gasoline engine put in her. Then she becomes a "power boat" and Is used as a freight boat on week days and to carry out tuning excursions on Sundays.

Fixed up with gasoline engines are to be found In Jamaica Bay an assortment of queer craft. One of the queerest Is the "Half Moon," which Is elevated at stem and stern, not over thirty feet long, and has a poop deck about seven feet high. It caused a sensation among the- baymen at first, but now they are used to It, and It goes back and forth without exciting comment. The land-lubbers, however, watch It with curious eyes. Yesterday, the "Half Moon" came In from "outside" with a party of fishermen.

The boat and the fishermen were loaded to the gunwales. As the "Half Moon" approached the Canarsle dock one tipsy Individual In his anxiety to get on shore, attempted to step to th deck ot tht steamboat Sunshine and dropped overboard. He was fished.
