CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.
The Second Anniversary of the Anti

The second anniversary Of the Anti-Sa-

last evening at the Church of the Cove

the temperance cause. Rev. DIR. Luther b.

first vice president. made an extensive re-
port of the operations Of the league during
the year. The report contained some sharp
criticisms of the work of the excise board
and the charge was made that eleven APP
plications for license, filed in November
last, are still pending. while the applicants
are now engaged in the liquor business,
though they had official permission. The
question arose as to how long the board
could defer action, and the Inference was
that IL the applications could be pigeon

A STORY OF ECKELS,
He Remembers With Gratitude the
Man Who Was Kind to Him.

He Remembers With Gratitude the
Man Who Was Kind to Him.
"Cast thy bread upon the waters and 1t
shall return to thee after many days." 1t
would appear in what follows that the
bread returned in time for the second gen.
Grafton. Many years ago, as related to a
writer for The Star, Controller Eckels was
a small boy in Illinois. At this early age
he had taste for trade. His father was
well-to-do. but the coming controller had
strong notion of making money for himself.
The easiest avenue of commerce which
opened to his young feet was the apple
trade. He was but eight years old at the
time, and it was his wont to occasionally
wend his way to farmer of the neighbor-
hood who had an unusually fine brand of
apples, and buy basketful, and then sell
them at a ripe advance over original cost
In this way young Eckels amassed boy
ish fortune. There was one thing which he
always recalls to the credit. of the farmer.
1t would seem that the old agriculturst had
a warm place in his heart for boys, and he
always gave young Eckels about twice as
many apples for his money as the market
naturally called for. In fact, he sold apples
to young Eckels for about thirty cents on
the dollar, and this low rate en- fruit very
much assisted the youthful merchant in
money making.
This, as stated, was long ago. The old
farmer has been dead these years, but he
has a son older than Controller Eckels,
VINO is now prdCtlClnS law III New L OTk
city. And a good lawyer he is; capable,
thorough and honest, although not, per-
haps growing tremendously rich at his
profession. When Eckels became controller
of the currency he was aware of the where
abouts and professional fortune of this son
of the old farmer who had so favored him
in the apple business.
In memory of the farmers generosity
Controller Eckels has seen to it that a
great deal of the New York law business
which had its emanation in his department
has fallen into the hands of the son. 1t
may be safely and conservatively said that
as TIE direct result of the fathers liberal
ity this son in the last two years has made
several thousand dollars, and has been
brought into law practice which will
swell his professional earnings for years
to come. Bread On the waters in the guise
of former apples, which might in the ag-
gregate have cost the old farmer father a
dollar is today returning to the son to the
extent of thousands of dollars.

The Property Owners Will be Called on to
 Settle Under the New Act.
 The board of public works at a special meeting yesterday afternoon, Mayor Hendrick presiding, with Commission CTS McGann, States, Bishop and Hoyt present, instructed Acting Superinten- dent of Streets Ives to continue the sprinkling of the streets under the new act of the legislature, although 1t has not yet become operative, because it is necessary that the court of common council pass an ordinance auxiliary to it, which shall provide for the assess ment on abutting property owners for any street sprinkling to be done under the act As the coGncil has not yet acted on the matter Superintendent Ives desired instruction as to what he should do
 The board after taking this action instructed Superintendent Ives to keep an account of the street which he may water, and of the names of the proper ty holders abutting. After the common council has fixed the rate of assess ment for street sprinkling the owners will have to pay for the sprinkling, since the legislative act went into ef- feet
 Commissioner States moved that the clerk prepare a communication to the court of common council calling atten- ton to the necessity of a sewer in Greenwich avenue. He said that recent rains washed the streets So badly that it was necessary to use several carloads of dirt to fill in. The motion was pass ed.
 The board voted that the committee on sewers visit the vicinity of Daven- port avenue and inspect the Boulevard sewer with view to placing storm overfiows in it.
 Commissioner States and Bishop were appointed a committee to appear be- fore the board of finance next Thurs day and request that the board of pub lie works be reimbursed for it's outlay of $1,500 in the work for the exter- imitation of the elm tree beetles
