THE BROOKLYN TIMES, MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1897. Brooklyn 'JDailo STimcs, AN 20 BRQADWAY, CRN HN'jD mt sacred memories of our schoolboy days, but It show's in tbe clearest and coldest outlines upon what ft precipice we stood when the delicate tfoap confections cracked between our teeth, and when we prolonged the pleasure of tlltita-ting our palates by saving one or perhaps two of them for future consumption during the day. YVe little thought to what depths of despair and degradation we might be drifting by a partiality for the insidious but dcinon-like giuger snaps.

YYhy not include the evils of the ginger snap habit in the list of lectures on school physiology Surely the pupils of the public schools of the city should be warned in time of the gravity of the situation and the pernicious consequences surrounding a growing fondness for these confections. strength it can get and it would vindicate the consistency of the Republican clnim that none but those who accept the St. Louis platform in all its integrity should be placed upon the ticket. It has become a common practise in this district for the Republicans to endorse the Democratic nominee for Justice of the Supreme Court, but the Democrats have not been in the habit of returning the compliment. The nomination of Mr.

Burr might give them an opportunity to reciprocate Republican courtesy. There is nothing to be said against Justice Bartlett personally or in his judicial capncity, but it is a matter of common report that his personal organ in the New York press has sold its support to Senator Tiatt ns the price of the nomination of Justice Bartlett by the Republicans. The Democrats owe nothing to the New York Sun, and the peculiar position in which Justice Bnrt-lett stands might serve to secure an endorsement of so capable and well-qualified a candidate as Mr. Burr from the Democratic Judiciary Convention. It would be good polities to try the experiment, especially as Mr.

Burr could be elected without Democratic nid. URN BR0ISKLYN. to BETi'-eRS millinery nso GRAND OPENING of OUR NEW STORE TO-MORROW, TUESDAY. When Yve came' into possession of the Ovington Building adjoining us last spring, we at once commenced the necessary alterations to convert it into a practical Dry Goods Store. The work has been carried on satisfactorily, and we are pleased to announce that both buildings are now connected, making one large DRY GOODS ESTABLISHMENT, which will be formally opened on Tuesday, he 28th inst.

The special feature of the opening will be the NEW MILLINERY DEPARTMENT, occupying the entire second floor of the annexed building. Our private importations of Fall Models of Hats and Bonnets will make a beautiful display and no doubt be the most interesting Millinery vieYV ever given jn Brooklyn. The following leading Parisian Modistes will be represented ViROT, LiNN, Faulkner, Eugenie, Heitz-Boyer, Josse, Paul Virot, Berthe, and Loys Soeurs. The creations of our artistes from our OYvn workrooms we believe cannot be excelled. Other features of the opening will be the improved positions and increased spaces of a number of our heretofore cramped departments.

The LINENS, WHITE GOODS and FLANNELS will be moved to the first floor, while the MENS FURNISHINGS, HOSIERY, CLOTHS, COTTON GOODS, STATIONERY and TOILET ARTICLES will be enlarged. These changes will give the entire second floor of our present building to the CLOAK and LADIES and CHILDRENS UNDERWEAR DEPARTMENTS, making them the largest and most modern departments of their kind in the city. Extra displays throughout the store will make a visit specially interesting, and we extend a cordial invitation to all. Our Store now embraces 154 feet front, extending through to Livingston making it the largest window display in Brooklyn. JOURNEAY AND BURNHAM.

LOW AND SCHROEDER. It did not take President Dow very long to dispose of the story printed in Saturdays Eagle to the effect that he formulated the conditions on which he would withdraw from the race for the Mayoralty in fnvor of a compromise candidate. As the Times has already stated, Mr. Lows candidacy represents a principle and not a personal ambition, and he cannot in honor allow his name to be withdrawn unless the Republicans are Willing to place in nomination a candidate who represents the same principle and who would be equally acceptable to those who have placed him in the field. Gen.

Tracy, in spite of his splendid abilities and his self-sacrificing public spirit, is not such t) man. He is a Republican through and through, and not one of the kind who could be commended to the favor of those who insist upon a non-partisan administration. The only man in whose fnvor Mr. Low could logically resign without incurring the charge of infidelity and breach of faith to his friends of the Citizens Union is Frederick A- Schmid, -r. The Times is not in the secret counsels of Mr.

Low or the Citizens Union, and it is Dot empowered to say thnt they would accept such a compromise, but, knowing that the course of Mr. Low is actuated solely by zeal in the cause of good government and not In any degree by personni ambition believing also that the leading spirits in the Citizens Union are actuated by the same spirit the Times cannot doubt that these would lie willing to accept Mr. Schrocder if it could be demonstrated that he would act ns a unifying force. It is the universal belief that if Seth Low remnins in the rare, with (Jen. Tracy or any other straight Republican candidate in the field against him.

Tammnny Hall will carry the election, in spite of Brooklyn defection, Henry George nnd Patrick J. Gleason. It is also the general belief thnt if Seth Low should retire In favor of Gen. Tracy or any other straight Republican candidate, who could not attract the non-partisnn, independent vote, Tnmmnny Hall would still be the winner. The only chance to defeat Tammany, outside of the forlorn hope of the nomination of Seth Low by the Republicans, lies in the acceptance of Frederick A.

Sehroedcr as a compromise candidate. Therefore no effort should be left untried to induce Mr. Schrocder to enter the race. MR. STRONGS HOPES BLASTED.

Mayor Strong, of New York, has been mentioned repeatedly as a possible compromise candidate for the nomination for Mayor of the Greater New York an honor which he has well earned by his sturdy, unfnltering devotion to the interests of the city since his election nnd there has been reason to believe thnt the Mayor himself was not wholly indifferent to the prospect of being called to succeed himself. But the Times has ail along insisted thnt the talk about Strong was only designed to divide the friends of Mr. Low, and that the leaders of the TJew York machine would as soon give their assent to the nomination of Mr. Low himself as of Mayor Strong. They showed their hands yesterday, those leaders, when the suggestion vtas made at the customary Sunday School session at Manhattan Bench that a resolution endorsing the administration of Mayor Strong should be passed by the Republican County Convention.

There was at once a savage revolt against the suggestion. Mayor Strong, according to these New York leaders, was a mugwump, a fomenter of independent treason among the Republicans of New York, a man who had given office to men whom he considered fit without stopping to inquire whether they had the en-dorsemenut of the leaders or not, and altogether a most unfit man to receive the commendation of a Republican Convention. And the innocent suggestion Of Gen. Collis wns forthwith strangled without the formality of a vote. There never was the least intention of permitting the nomination of Mayor Strong; All the talk on the subject was only designed for the double purpose of fooling Mayor Strong nnd fooling the Independents.

THE SUPREME COURT NOMINATION. The delegates selected to represent the Republican party in the Judiciary Convention are in the habit of showing more personal independence and less of abject obedience to the mandates of political leaders than the delegates to ordinary conventions. As a rule, they are ail lawyers of high standing, and are imbued with a sense of their personal responsibility for the votes they cast in the Convention. Therefore it is possible that those who regard the action of the Judiciary Convention in the Second Supreme Court District as determined in advance by the victory of the Platt-Willis forces at the primaries may find themselves In error. Certainly the name of such a candidate as Joseph A.

Burr would bring more Republican strength to the ticket and It will need all the HENRY GEORGE, BUGABOO. The United Democrats have announced their intention of nominating Henry George for Mayor of Greater New York to-night, with a view of retiring hiui in the event of Tammany nominating an acceptable Bryan man next Thursday. Mr. George may consider it a high honor to be literally used as club, but most men would ohpret to being put up for the premeditated purpose of being ynnked down iignin. A nomination by any party.

however small, is generally considered to he a serious step, taken in good faith- It frequently has hi vievf the election of the candidate in question, and at the very lenst is supposed to cut to smithereens the possibilities of some particular hated rival. But the United Democrats, whoever they may be, do not insist on Tammnnys endorsement of their ticket they are not quite insane enough for that they intend simply to bring forward Mr. George in the character of nn awful Bugaboo, to scare the naughty hoys of Tnmmnny Hall into recognizing a certain boy orator and the Chvago plntform. Be good, and well kill the Bugaboo, they observe to the naughty boys aforementioned. hut if you nre naughty any more, well untie him.

and theD where vv ill you be It is possible that this terrifying demonstration will senre the wits out of Tammany. It is highly piobable thnt the naughty laws will ignore the presence of the terrjfier nnd proceed ns usual on their iniquitous way. They have seen Bugaboos before. It seemed os though every one who ovv ued a horse mid carriage or a bicycle and those who were not fortunate enough to possess vine evidently hired or borrowed one wns out yesterday taking spin over the fine roads on Long Island. The boulevards were lined with vehicles of every description, nnd all had that look of pleasure which expresses satisfaction with life and the weather.

The day was simply superb, nnd those who did not join the army of wheelmen nnd riders of other conveyances missed a rare treat. The roads, also, were never in better condition. YVho says a day of outing such as thousands enjoyed yesterday is not a true way of worship A Happy New Yoar to all our readers of (he race und fnith of Israel- They worthily represent the oldest civilization in the world, nnd they set a splendid example to all the varied races of which our American citizenship is composed of unfaltering loyalty to the traditions of their blood, combined with unswerving fidelity to the land of their adoption. To them belongs tbe credit of the fact thnt every attempt to stir up anti-Semitic prejudices in this free republic is extinguished in general ridicule. London is just now in the throes of great excitement and alarm over an epidemic of crime thnt prevails ihre, and which almost recalls the period when Jack tile Ripper created nn agitation almost unparalleled in IajikIou.

The victims this time nre almost all women of fairly good social position, the exception being a ilcrgymnn who was murdered in his own hou.se, and the police seem absolutely without working clows in almost every case. The substitution of the commonplace and meaningless name of YY'esterleigh for the distinctive and aggressive name of Prohibition Park, in the Borough of Richmond, is justly regarded as a severe blow to the cause of Prohibition. But it may not Is' denied lint the name was a severe handicap to the prosperity of the place. JOURNEAY BURNHAMS NEW DEPT. Beautiful Parisian Models of Bats and Bonnets at the Private Opening.

A GOOD THING TO AVOID Iu at least two of the Assembly District Conventions held in Brooklyn oil Saturday for the selection of delegates (o the Republican City Com cation to-morrow. the Ilatt-Willis delegates, when they found themselves outvoted, bolted, and organized rump conventions, nominating full lists of contesting delegations to the Convention. It is stated to-day that the order has gone forth that these contesting delegations ill be recognized as regular, and awarded seats in the Convention, without regard to the intrinsic merits of their title. There is no doubt that the gentlemen who will control the Convention cun do this if they will. They hold the Convention ly an overwhelming majority, nod it will do what they ask it to do.

But such action would bo unnecessary. They have votes enough to name Gen. Tiacy or anybody else they may see fit to nominate, nnd a few votes from Brooklyn more or less will make no difference to the general result. Bat to exorcise this power so far as to unseat legally elected delegates would be a most unwise thing. There has been a good deal of had blood aroused in Brooklyn over the preliminaries to the holding of the Convention, and it would be bad polities and bid generalship to aggravate this feeling unnecessarily.

The Republicans of Brooklyn are loyal and will give warm support to (he ticket nominated by the Republican City Convention, but the suspicion of unfair dealing will give to many who are hanging on the sharp and ragged edge of regularity the excuse they seek for refusing to vote the ticket. Under present conditions, any suspicion of sharp practise or unfnir dealing in the City Convention will cost the Republican party thousands of usually Republican votes iu Brooklyn, nnd that is a sacrifice which tlm Convention cannot afford to make. The Republican party cannot this year niton the men on the fringe of party loyalty any excuse for bolting the ticket on Election Lay. MICHAEL AND WAFERS. Young Michael's defeat of Lcsna at the Manhattan Beach track on Snturdny proves that the Welshman is undoubtedly the best long-distance bicycle rider of the day- Michael, if we remember rightly has only been defeated once, and that by a technicality, so that his record in racing is substantially without a flaw.

It was thought that Starbuek, or, better still, Lesim, would tarnish his well-earned laurels, but both of these crack ndcis ore defeated so easily as to show the little wonders undoubted superiority. The ouly question of the day is to hud some rider who can crowd Michael just a little, iu order to learn just how marvellously last lie is. Wefers has also put himself on record again, and proves himself as great a phenomenon in his way as Michael. On Saturday also, which seemed to be marked ns a red-letter day iu athletic sports, Weters broke his own record on a Montreal track by running 220 yaids in the marvellous time of 21 seconds. ills previous record was 21 1-5 seconds.

He was simply invincible. It really 6eems as if the height of human endurance in these two branches of athletics had been reached, but the sporting public is generally sanguine, and they may meet with fresh surprises in this direction. THE JAMAICA GINGER HABIT. Ginger snaps have been generally iron-sidered as a most delightful echo, as it were, of our childhood dnjs. A jieriod when we would hesitate between "mumps, a particularly sweet and toothsome candy ball, with great lasting propensities, and a propensity for enlarging ones cheek space, and those crisp and round little disks known as ginger suap3 and we were about evenly bulaueed between these two delicacies of our childish days, but in most instances the snap carried the day, because we got more of them for a penny.

Little did we rculize in those bright days of youthful indiscretion, when dyspepsia was an unknown quantity, to vvhut depths of depravity our propensity for snaps might hove led us to. Little did we comprehend that we might have acquired a habit that would have sent us post haste to the tender mercies of Bellevue surgeons, and perhaps blasted our young lives forevermore. YYe might have acquired the fatal and terrible Jamaica giuger habit. Thus we may, with a retrogressive glance to our penny expenditure days, sympathize and condole with unfortunate Mrs- Emma Mockel, of East Thirteenth street. New York, who was sent to Bellevue yesterday to be treated for an inordinate craving for Jamaica ginger.

Mrs. Mofckel claims that she began her downward career with the hitherto understood to be harmless snaps, and after many wild debauches on these inoffensive looking but terrible weapons of intoxication, to quaffing draughts of the liquid ginger ss a quicker and more efficient means to inducing exhlliration of spirits. From this point Mrs. Mockels downfall was expeditlouc. Twice she has been cared for at Bellevue and each time, on release had she come once more under tbe baleful influence of the ginger, -v This is a most pitiful esse.

Not only does it trample under foot one of the RALLY DAY IN SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Special Exercises Yesterday in All the Schools Bring Out the Children. The Brooklyn Sunday Schco Union coltbiaLd its third annual rally day In all ho Sunday Schools of the city yesterday. Tnls custcm was Ins ltuud r- eais ago and has proved a very fill 1-clous expedient gutting up a il tl; hi. thuslasm on the part of thj sch lars who have been away in tho country, mountains or at the seashore duilng the two months that precede and have Imbibed much of the air In such plrcis wh.ch makes Sunday Sch ol rath itre-tom It had been notl ed for years ttt a goed nth after Sundiy StooI opened the attendance was nth Tne reason was not appir.nt to Si.perin enditits until some one surg st-ed that oreams of bicycle tours, pLnlc piriies and naw rides occupied the minds o' soung America and tat un.css something was done the attendance would grow stl.l smaller.

Bauland Co.s immense store, Fulton and Duffivld streets, that opened with a musical programme to-day, will continue throughout tbe week. All the departments are so gey in their holidsy attire, and so complete in their various lines of goods, that it is with the greatest difficulty the patron succeeds in reaching the fifth floor, which Is the real magnet of attraction. Here one finds a miniature YVorlds Fair in the way of food supply. The great apartment Is brilliant In ns beautiful decorations, and the numerous white booths bearing flags of various nations, present a marvelouhly unique picture. It would be an endless task to attempt to enumerate the tempting fruits, jellies, sweet chocolates and good thiDgs that meet one at every turn.

Near tbe elevators is a booth that serves a very toothsome and dainty dish called junket it is a sort of Ice orvsm with the consistency of Jelly, end the color effect ere very pritty. Betide delicious soups, coffees end bouillons, a del-icate salad is served. Probably tbe most inviting section to tbe epicure is the delicatessen drpaitment. Not only choice meets and ulcklra ere to be found, but every variety of foreign and home manufacture of cheese. The merits of the store will be appreciated by those who enjoy good things to tat.

Besides music by tbs Vienna Orchestra souvenirs are given away. Eoysl Areanumltes Appreciate the Time. At a recent meeting of Adirondack Council, No. 1,742, Royal Arcanum, Orator Thomas C. Glddlng read an article from the Times, telling of the great progress made by tbe council during the pest few years.

The article wee received with great applause and Regent David J. Ramsdell remarked that the paper was worthy of the council' thanks. He referred to the cleanliness of the Times and a unanimous veto of tbanlu was given. DEATH OF HEZEKIAH DAVIS SHARPE An Old Abolitionist in Touch With Lincoln and a Roommate of Greeley. Hezeklah Davis Sharpe, who died on Thursday evening at 23 Garden place, this city, from infirmities of old age, was born at Pomfret, December 9, 1811.

He came to New York in 1837, the same year that Horace Greeley, Henry W. Bowen, and Charles L. Tiffany migrated to the metropolis, and Greeley, Bowen, and Bharpe, meeting frequently and having much in common, became Intimate friends and room-mates. Politically. Mr.

Bharpe was one of the strongest of Abolitionists from the beginning, when abolition was only thought of as the possibility of another century. He was also a lifelong, stanch Republican, having cast hie maiden vote In 1836 for William Henry Harrison. His Intense anti-slavery sentiments brought him in touch with Abraham Lincoln, and there were none of his possessions that ho so treasured as some autograph letters upon the slavery question from the Martyr President. During the draft Hots, he was at the house of Louis Tappen when the place was attacked by the mob, and while the rioters were pillaging the house he conducted the Tappen family out of a rear door, and took them to a place of safety In Brookline, Mass. During his residence In New York Mr.

Sharpe became a deacon of Dr. Adams' church In Broome street, at that time one of the fashionable streets of the city. After his marriage he removed to this city. He was one of the founders of the Church of the Pilgrims, a.nd the last survivor except four of the women founders. He was also a charter member and founder of the Brooklyn Female Institute the first female educational Institution In that city.

After its endowment it adopted the name of the Packer Collegiate Institute. Mr. Sharpes mercantile career was, until tho last twenty years, closely Identified with the wholesale dry goods business beginning In 1837, with Arthur Tappen A after which he engaged In business for himself under the firm name of Thorne, Haff A Sharpe. Upon the dissolution of the firm he became associated with Bowen A For the last twenty years he has been connected with the clock and bronze department of Tiffany where he was a familiar figure to many old New Yorkers. He leaves a widow whom he marHed fifty-seven years ago, two sons and two daughters.

The funeral will take place from his late residence, 23 Garden place, this afternoon. R. V. Young Camp, S. 0.

Dr. A. J.

Object to Trolley Outing To the Editor of tbe Brooklyn Times; SIR: Dont you think It is about time that something vai done to stop the racket in the early hours of the morning, caused by the trolley outings? The people of thh Eastern District have been annoyed considerably of late by the playing of the bands and the yelling of the crowd, a the car pass through the streets. It Is tmoosslble to sleep until after oclock In ihe morning. On Saturday; a trolley porty stopped In front of the Hotel Andrews atAhl hour; the crowd was shouting like a lot of Comanche and the members of the band were playing as vigorously as possible.

The residents were awakened from their slumbers by the noise. This has been a regular thing of late and It Is about time that steps were taken to abate this nuisance. I am not a crank, but these people who go on the outings to shout, should remember that they have children of their own. NOT A COMANCHE. Brooklyn, September 27.
