TWENTY THOUSAND SINGERS.
The Germans of Brooklyn Re

Saengeriesi in 1855.
Now York Sun.

Forty-six delegates, representing
twenty-three German singing societies
of Brooklyn, met yesterday afternoon
at the corner of Meserole and Even
streets, to consider a proposition to
hold a monster Saengerfest in Brook
iyn similar to the festival held
in Philadelphia in June last. A con-
stitution was adopted. The name Of
the new organization is the United
Saving Societies of Brooklyn, and it is
to have a central directory. 1t was
resolved to hold the festival in the
latter part Of June, 1885, and to call
it the Fourteenth S~aengerfest. Some
Of the delegates wanted to hold it in
South Brooklyn, others in East
Brooklyn.
Julius Klamke, the chairman, said
that a fine plot on South Fourth
street, betweenFifth andSixth streets,
had been offered, tax free, for ten
years to the society, provided it would
put up a building and hold the jubilee
there. The cost of the temporary
building is estimated at $4,000. Mr..
Loey, a delegate from the Philadel-
phia societies, said that all the Ger
mar societies Of Philadelphia stand
ready to lend their services, and would
be represented among the singers to
the number OF several thousand. Mr.
Klamke felt assured that in the COM
ing festival there would be a greater
number Of singers than haveever been
brought together. There would be,
no said, no less than twenty thousand
participants, exclusive Of the instru.
mentalists.

Obituary Of a veteran Editor.

New York Herald, 10.
The veteran financial editor of the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, Mr.
Joseph Sailer, died in that city at Z
o'clock yesterday morning, aged nearly
se~venty-four years. He leaves a
widow, three sons and two daughters
His estate is stated to be $500, coo,

was not actively engaged in jOurnal-
ism, having resigned his place on the
Ledger on January l.. Joseph Sailer
was born in Clarksboro, Gloucester
county. New Jersey, April %, 1909.
tie learned the trade Of printer 10
Woodbury., subsequently becoming
proprietor and publisher of the Wood
bury Constitution. Going to Phila-
delphia he started a newspaper known
as the Spirit Of the Times, with which
he was connected for a number Of
years. The Ledger was started in
1896. On July l, 1910, Mr.. Sailer
entered upon his duties as financial
editor OF the Ledger. From the hour
when be first took his seat at the
Ledger office desk, forty two years
ago, up until last year, it was his boast
that there was never an issue of the
paper that did not have something
from his pen in its money column.
When he could be persuaded to
take a vacation, which was seldom,
he always left behind in
his desk some special" matter.
His vacations were never extended he
yOnd a week until within the last four
or FIVE years. He was then induced to
20 to Saratoga where he remained two
weeks. During last summer he was
persuaded into making q visit to Cres-
son, and he lett the city with the IN
derstanding that he should sojourn
there for several weeks. Two days
after his departure be walked into the
Ledger office and hung up bis coat on
its accustomed peg. MIR. Sailer was
the last of the old Ledger party" as
the combination which survived the
period of the original proprietorship
and continued their connection with
the jourDal after Mr.. Childs came in

Sailer watched with a iatherly inter.

railroads now ~centering in Philadel.
pbia. His connection with the oriei-
pal Morse Telegraph Company illus
tates a strong point in his character,
having its basis on the theory which
he always upheld, that il was the duty
Of newspapers to aid in every way al
useful enterprises. Upon this theory
he not only was a strong supporter
through thick and thin Of the Penn.
sylvauia, Reading, old Camden and
Amboy aud other railroads in their

a financial way by becoming one Of the
first subscribers to their stock. He
strongly supported the establishment
Of national banks, and to show his
faith in the scheme took stock in the
first one that started, which was
knawn as the Philadelphia National
He also supported and took stock il
the Bank Of North America and il
the Girard National when those insti.

First blood.



Several chivalrous members 81 the
Merchants Exchange oooasioned a mo-
mentary stir on the floor Of the
Exchange this morning, by proposing
s public demonstration in honor of
CHEF Sexton, who distinguished him
self By a bit Of knight errantry
yesterday. The scene OF the occur
renee was on the north side Of Olive
strAet Just west Of Seventh, and the
time 5 o'clock pm. The chief, clad
in muller and overcoat, in lieu of the
time honored doublet and hose in
which the knights Of old we're wont
TO rally forth, had been awaiting a
friend in Seventh street near Olive.
A dandy, twirling a cane with one
hand aud what purported to be a
mustache with the other, came along
conscious only of his own intrinsic
beauty. With a quick glance the
chief spotted him as 'masher." Several
of the iremen who we're standing by
she chief, heard him mutter from time
to time. 0ne of them thought he
heard such phrases as "Savre bleu,"
''tin mile tonnerres," Par dieu,"
snort de ma vie" etc. Others we're as
confident that he was saying "Gol
dern it." Dog gone you" bod
blast you" The denouement
was not long in developing.
Soon the masher espied two attract
lively costumed ladies going east, who
entered Bars store. He accordingly
took a position outside neal the en-
trance, but soon had his attention
diverted to two other young ladies
coming from the opposite direction.
His efforts to attract their attention
followed up closely by the Argus-eyed
chief, we're also without result in this
case. Finally, he saw another hand
some lady passing on the opposite side.
Resolved in a moment, he crossed the
street, and endeavOred to intercept
her. The lady seemed frightened and
ran across the street. "NoW's my
time" thought the chief, and a mo-
NEE. later the masher was feeling the
thin end Of the chiefs whip about his
legs and upper extremities. I've
cured him Of MASKING" exclaimed
tie chief, but Isacriiced a fine whip
TO do it.
The demonstration on Change took
shape before noon, and D. X. Dyer
and Secretary Morgan were entrusted
with a handsome gold and ivory
mounted whip inscribed with the
words, 40 Clay Sexton from the
Merchants Exchange" with which
70 reward the chiel il the name Of the
Exchange. To the surprise Of the
Later, who had been invited into the
hall, the presentation ceremony was
accordingly gone through with. The
chief, however, rallied from his over
Ehelming emotions and thanked the
enthusiastic donors in a few timely
remarks, reviewing the events Of the
previous day, and ~dedicating tie new
whip to the service Of the ladies o
st. Louis.

when it was ready for inspection, and
the old man was one of the first. AS
the plate was held up he giggled and
tickled, and finally burst into a loud
laugh. He had lodged around the
corner Of the house and his full figure

Farm Accounts.


S"hhhNAA AANuaAiAN1s
Farmers should be systematic; and
to do so they must keep farm accounts.
II is the keystone OF success in all
business. The difference between
success and failure often lies in a very
small per cent, even ia a business that
is lookedupon as profitable. 1t would
take but a few moments each evening
to book the income and expenditures
for that day. Special columns for &c
ures denoting the amount OF certain
leading articles bought or sold would
facilitate the asserting of each at the
end Of a year-a column of figures for
dairy products, another for eggs and
poultry, and another for hay, grain.
etc, These columns could be footed
up in a few moments at any time, and
The income from any branch
be ascertained. BY such a method
the farmer would know just what
his income was derived from. The
blacksmith, whcelwright, machinery,
labor aud expen ses could also be kept
in separate columns. There is but
little labor in doing this, and one
will soon be so well pleased to know
how the machine is running that he
will esteem it a pleasure. When the
long winter evenings come he can foot
up the income and expenses, estimate
his stock and improvements, and tell
il the year has been a profitable one.
Each different source Of income
can also be easily separated and
the different expenditures scruti
nized; and the years lessons may be
profitable by showing wherein q say.
