THE BROOKLYN INSTITUTES MUSEUM
RESULT of THE RECENT CONFERENCE WITH
MAYOR SCHIEREN

RESULT on TIE RECENT CONFERENCE WITH
MAYOR sCHIEREN
Tho conference held by the trustees OF the
Rrooklyn Institute OF Arts and Sciences with
Mayor Schieren last Monday afternoon
garded as fairly satisfactory by the representatives
OF the Institute who took part in IT, Its object
10 hasten tho Issue ot bonds by the city in order
provide $500 900 the construction OF the section Of
the proposed museum building for which plans have
already been made The only question at issue
seems to be whether the city can AFFORD to incur
this obligation at the present time.
The plans OF the building were shown to the
Mayor and explained to him, and he expressed his
profound interest in the matter. He is heartily in
favor OF the museum project. and will undoubtedly
take steps to provide the money for erecting the
building as soon he sec his way clear to do
ing 40. But 1t Is necessary for him 10 consider
good many other questions well az this one. The
matter brought up for consideration at the
meeting of the Mayors cabinet on Thursday. and
the Institute authorities are confident that II will
be pushed at the earliest moment. They hope that
the money needed will be forthcoming. so that
work the foundations OF the building can be be-
gun az soon spring opens.
IL was provided in the law this subject that
bonds to the amount OF 10000 should be issued for
the benefit OF an association having property worth
not less than 100000. In order that the Institute
might be in a position to take advantage OF the law.
lts endowment was Increased to that sum. and the
subscribers to the fund naturally feel that the city
is under obligations to fulfil Its part OF the
tract. II is probable that Mayor Body would
have gone ahead with the matter had 1t not been
that per cent bonds could not be marketed during
his term. Last year the Legislature was appealed
to- and the law was amended as to make the
rate OF interest per cent. Bonds at per cent
readily be sold and already said the only ques-
ton is the wisdom OF the citS's assuming
this obligation. which IL not absolutely imperative
just at this time.
Mayor Scheren Is naturally anxious TO keep the
city's expenses at the lowest practicable point lie
succeeded In reducing the tax rate last year. and
while a bond issue would not affect the tax rate
any perceptlbe extent. he keeps a sharp eye
all tho ougoes from the city treasury. Ex-Mayor
Boody's IDEAS the subject OF the museum were
Plainly shown by his remarks uttered with the in
tention OF showing Mr. Schieren that II his duty
to make the Issue OF bonds without delay. The

from the companies operating surface cars. Under

used on surface steam railroads Is taxed $50 a

STREETCAR HORSES DRUG ~ TIE MARKET

Since the introduction OF the trolley system In
Brooklyn the surface railroad companies have been
making efforts to get rid of the large number OF
horses which they owned and used. That these
have not been altogether successful is evident from
the signs which are still displayed In the trolley
cars. They alluriDg signs plainly intended to
impress the rural population. To judge by these
signs alone, 1t would seem that the company's
stables would be overrun by persons DESTROYS OF
obtaining horses for carriage use and for speeding
purposes. No one with the least knowledge OF the
matter can refrain from smiling at the ludcrous
pretenslons OF these posters. There is no art about
Them because they give themselves away" com
pletely. What absurdity to say that horses with
2iO records be obtained In these places!
1t Is possible that the horses offered for sale
might be OF some service substitutes a farm
where the work is not overheard. They are broken
down creatures. with life spirit left in them
and their feet must be tender from constant trav-
ellng over stone pavements. II Is known that the
life Of a carhorse Is only few years at the best
and those offered for sale the remnants OF the
stock left when the use OF horses ceased To rep
resent them valuable and speedy Is to be guilty
OF false pretences. But IT Is hardly possible tnat
any can be deceived by such representations
The author Of the advertisements must at any rate
be endowed with vivid Imagination. 1t is notice
able that he is careful not to give cuts of the
valuable old plugs that he offers to q connding
public.

SECRETARY cARLIsLE's REPORT

WASHINGTON, Dee. 16.-Secretary
Carlisle's annual report on the state OF
finances was sent to Congress to-day.
1t shows that the revenues OF the gov
eminent from all sources during the
last fiscal year amounted to S390,373,-
203. The expenditures during the
same period aggregated S433, IFS, 426,
leaving a deficit for the year OF S42,-
s05, 223. AS compared with the fiscal
wear 1894, the receipts for 1895 in
creased $17, SIC, 705, although there was
a decrease of Sill, 329,981 in the ordi-
nary expenditures, which is largely
accounted for by reduction of SILL
134,0555 on sugar bounties. The reve-
nues for the current fiscal year are es-
timated, upon the basis of existing
laws, at S431, 907, 407, and the expendi-
lures at $44s, 907, 407, which will leave
a deficit of ST 100000. For the COM
ing year ending June 30, 1897, the Sec
rotary estimates the receipts at S464,-
793, 120, and the expenditures at $751;
Ss4 ,139, or an estimated surplus of &c.
$685. 2o.
The Secretary states briefly the facts
concerning the issue of bonds during
the year, the particulars of which have
already been reported to Congress.
The Secretary devotes a large share
of his report to discussion of the con-
dition OF the Treasury and the cur
rency, in the course of which he makes
an exhaustive argument in favor of
the retirement of the greenbacks.

THE TOBACCO EDITION.
GREENVILLE, n. c., Dec.

GREENVILLE, n. C., Dec. IS.
To the Editor:
1t is a pleasure indeed to any true
patriotic North Carolinian to read the
cotton mill edition, which was truly a
great Thanksgiving offering to the
people. not only of the State, but of the
Union. It was indeed a grand success,
of great undertaking, and the out
come is most happy. We are not
the "Trip Van Winkle,' as is often said
of us.
1t was the greatest effort ever made
for the development, and diffusion OF
truth ! have ever read from any North
Carolina journal.
In the News and Observer of the 10
YOU announce Tobacco Edition" to
be soon published. This is the very
biggest thing that could now be done
for North Carolina. and you deserve all
that can be said and done to aid and
assist you in the effort.
Bright tobaccos are now the leaders
in prices of all the growth of the weed.
And it may be astounding, but 1T
is a fact that North Carolina is far
ahead of all other tobacco-growing
countries in bright tobacco. North
Carolina produces more than sixty per
cent. of the bright tobacco of the
United States, and eastern North Caro-
lima (the new Golden BelD produces
ninety per cent. of the bright tobacco
of the State Tobacco is now the most
profitable crop made Ct mean staple
CROP.
L feel specially proud that you are
pressing the resources and natural
advantages of the State, and when they
are fully made known and realized,
there is no State in the Union that
more of good can be said i'll any respect
than the Old North State.
/ have never heard more favorable
comments upon any document pub
lished in the State than of your
Thanksgiving offering.
Truly,

INFASTiCiDE AT KIrTaELL.
The Mother Claims the Child's Death
Was A occidental.

KITTREII4, n. c., Dec. 17.-(Spe-
cial. 1.-The immemorial good reputa-
ton of kittrell seems to be in bad luck
since the 5. A. l.. numbered it 10 on its
new tickets. The sons of Mr.. Charles
Cawthorn while hunting last week
were attracted by the action of their
dogs to shallowly buried object. An
investigation proved it to be the body
of dead infant. The find was re-
ported to the authorities, who on re-
pairing to the spot found that the body
had been removed. But the trail was
followed mile or two on the snow
and the object of search again found
concealed, this time in hollow log.
The coroner's trial, held Sunday, fas-
tened the guilt on Rosa Richardson, a
negro girl, who confessed and was sent
to Jail. According to her confession
the infant was born in October and its
hiding place has been changed more
than once. She claims that its death
was accidental
Thieves broke into the $. A. J.. ware
house 81 few nights ago and carried off
boxes of tobacco, crackers, dc.
loaded car was also broken open and
robbed. This is the second robbery
OF this same place. There is good rea-
sons TO believe that there is a regu-
larry organized gang here which will
give serious trouble unless the S. A. L.
takes prompt steps to detect and pun
ish them.
Kittrell is said to furnish more
blind Baggage" than any other sta
ton on the line. This is the slang
term for those who steal rides on the
cars There are several colored
Youngsters here who travel as freely
and cheaply as the President Of the
road.
