WHAT BROOKLYN TALKS OF.
OBSERVATIONS HERE AND THERE IN THE
METROPOLIS OF LONG ISLAND

Before February Mayor Chaplin will be called on to
make the important appointments which form one Of
the exclusive privileges attaching to the Office Of
Mayor of Brooklyn under the charter that went into
effect in 1892. Previous 10 that time the appoint
ments of the heads OF the various city departments
had been made by and with the consent of the Board
of Aldermen with the result that deals" and
bargains were a constant necessity and the Mayor
was continually hampered by the fact that he had 10
make selections which the Aldermen would be likely
to regard with favor The change in the citys char
ter was brought about by ex-Mayor Schroeder while
a member of the state Senate and the new arrange
ment conferred on the Mayor greater degree OF
power than was possessed by any other Mayor In the
country Along with tho comforting of the exclusive
power Of appointment the Mayor went the abo
ton OF the three-head system Of commissions, most
Of the departments being now under the control Of
single Commissioner. There was a good deal OF
curiosity felt eight years ago TO how Mr. Low. the
first Mayor to exercise this unwontsd power, would
make use of the authority conferred him. The
system has given so much satisfaction, in spite Of
Mayor whitney's feeble administration and some bad
selections which have brought no credit TO Mayor
Chaplin that no one would dream Of returning to the
old order of things with its endless dickers with the
Common Council. Not only So but Brooklyn's eX-
ample has been followed elsewhere. notably in New
York. where almost equal degree of authority is ex-
ercsed by the Mayor.

THE PRICES
WILL BE ONE
THIRD LESS THAN USUAL.

To begin with the embroideries, we
have purchased the best part of the
entire stock of Messrs. NJ. Guggen-
helms Sons, Of st. Gall, Switzerland,
and New York, probably the largest
manufacturers in the world, who are
now about retiring from business. AS
stated before, we have purchased the
entire production of their better grades
Of goods suitable for the best trade and
comprise full lines of everything in the
embroidery line from the narrowest to
the very widest and grandeSt qualities
and styles, many of them novelties
never shown before. The entire pur-
chase represents many thousands of
dollars and it would be impossible for
us to display them in the ordinary de-
partment. AS it can be readily under
stood, we bought them at very low
figure, and in order to create a sensa-
ton at once we will mark them at a
very small profit above the cost, which
means that our patrons will be able to
procure this coming week embroideres
at fully one-third below the prevailing
prices.

The report Of the Commissioner Of buildings Is in
teresting as denotng the rapid growth OF the city
and for other reasons During the year ending Dc
cember permits were issued for the erection OF some
thing over 5000 buildings, Of which more than one
half-o61G-were built of wood while those OF brick
numbered only GAGS. This is fact OF much
significance and directs attention once more TO the
danger which is being incurred by the erection OF
frame buildings in the outer part Of the city and the
necessity of some rational control OF the fire
limits II would desirable that this matter be
broucht TO the attention Of the Legislature ana the
construction OF long Of frame houses forbidden
In such region as the Twenty sixth Ward, where
detach q houses put up almost exclusively the
objection 70 the use Of wood is much less serious hut
solid blocks of such houses form source OF danger
the gravity OF which ought not TO be overlooked.
Commissioner Platt notes suggestive indication OF
the character Of the ctys growth in the fact OF tlo
Great demand for twostOry houses permits for lo74
NJ these having been issued. That Brooklyn IS grow
ing in altitude is shown by the erection OF one ten
story buildng and Of several Of SIX seven and eSht
stories There are now seventy passenger elevators
in the city, although docs not have to THINK back
more than dozen years to remember the time when
there was only one.

of irrgating arid lands. Mr.. Campbell, whose long
service in Congress might naturally be deemed 70 fit

upon the Committee the District Of Columbia, 1t
is understood, though that as member Of the minor
ity Mr. Campbell did not desire any assignments that
would require specially hard work and his continual
.resence in Washington Mr.. Magner was not wholly
overlooked as he is assigned to the Committee on the
Revision of Laws. In connection with this matter II
NAV be worth while 10 add that Mr.. Covert, of the

The amendments to be made by Mayor Chaplin
next month include the Police Commissioner. the
City Works Commissioner. the Fire Commissioner the
Health Commissioner, the Buildings Commissioner, two
Excise Commissioners, the Corporation Counsel the
Registrar Of Arrears President Of the Department
of Assessment, etc. That some of the present officials
will be reapponted is pretty certain. That changes
can be made to advantage to both the city in general
and to its chief executive is even more certain. The
reappontment of Police Commissioner Bell is generally
conceded though there is talk Of attempt to dis
place him. No one believes that Corporation Counsel
jerks will be removed, and probably City Works Com
missioner Adams will be retained. The fact that Mr.
Adamss official duties have not made it necessary
for him to give up his post of honor and responsibility
as chairman Of the Kings County Democratic General
Committee does not appear to be drawback to his
usefulness in the eyes OF MIR. Chaplin. Commissioner
Bell however, won no small degree of public approval
by resgning from the Office he held in his ward asso
citation soon after taking charge of the Police Dc
partment 1t is said that Mr.. Mcclure, the Registrar
of Arrears will be allowed b CO. and, of course. II
Mavor Chaplin has keen regard for public opinion, he
will lose time in getting rid of Fire Commissioner
Ennis Mr. Ennis appears TO have brought forth some
works meet for repentance but his course in the FIRE
Department has caused the chief scandal OF Mr.
Chapin's administration. 1t will scarcely be claimed
even by his persona, friends that Dr. Grlihn's man
aCement of the Health Department has been par
ticuIarIy efficient and from the remarks OF some phy-
yicans that have heard the opinion is pretty gen
eral in the medical profession that change would
be desirable. 10 the Excise Commission which Is
composed of the Police Commissioner and two Excise
Commissioners it has always been weak spot in the
administration of the city. Even Mayor Chapn ala
not succeed in either of his terms in appointing Excise
Commissioners that gave general satisfaction, and
Mr. Chapin's political calculations are so eXacting
that nothing better be expected from him in the
future than in the past. 1t is not likely that Mayor
Chaplin will keep either candidates fog Offices or the
public long in doubt after the beginning of his second
term His appointments were made early two years
ago. and that will in all probability be the case

Al the request of n very large number of

order that the people OF this city and vi

ing agents of outside clubs have been i'm

that their commission is necessarily add
cd to- the cost of the goods purchased, il
will he seen that the home club offers "a
decided advantage over outside ones. as
the agents commission is done away with.
and Mr.. keppler can thus dispose OF goods
at prices below what the same article can
he purchased else where. Another com
