BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

An elaborate Arbor day programme was carried out at the South Brooklyn school, the chorus of the children reveber- ating through the woods with touching effect. One of the principal features of the programme was the planting of a hand some hawthorn bush, the gift of Commit teeman Michael Harty.
 -Arbor day was appropriately observsd at the Bank street school to-day. The ex- ercises opened with chorus of several voices followed by the reading of the gov ernor's proclamation, by Principal Ds- vine. Otto Hellmann recited "Woodmaa Spare That Tree;" Gertrude Korcher. "Tbs Goddess of Nature;" MaTie Keenert. The Dropping Willow" Gertrude Buell.. Ar butus." There was also A recitation by O. A Lapointe, followed by choruses by the school children.
 A South Brooklyn man says he dis covered a woman in his pasture lot on May morning trying to work charm to secure the butter of his COW for the remainder of the year. It is done, he said. by going through the pasture before sunrise and touching the grass with broom saturated with a preparation known to but few peo- pie and asking in the name of some mys- terious elf for the good and benefit of the COW, mentioning her color. Wnen once seen, he said, the whole scheme is knocked in the head and he thanks sick headache. which drove him out of the house st an early hour that morning. for defeating the womGn's purposes and saving him from no end of trouble iu trying to get back the butter of his fine COW. The woman was a stranger and when the man approached her she said she was looking for herbs to cure a running sore on her husbands arm, but when asked what she was doing with the broom she gave an eva tive answer and started of in the direction of Platt Mills.

MADE MAD BY "TRILBY"i
Reed Killed Himself Because Ha
 Feared Svengali.
HE TOOK AN OUNCE OF ARSENIC.

The Popular Craze Affected Norton Reed
 In Peculiar Fashion and Ended Tn Hts
 Poisoning HImself-wanted to See Trilby
 and Little BnIee.
 HARrEnnD, May 3.-Norton Reed lies dead in the morgue here as a result of the "Trilby" craze, having committed suicide by taking arsenic while harboring the hal Inclination that he was under the hypnot- 10 Influence of Svengali, the bad man of Du Maurier's novel.
 Reed was IS years old, a son of Mrs Amos Pratt, who. as a widow, married a wealthy shipbulder of Essex, Conn A year ago Reed came to this city and en- tered tho employ of Brown, Thomson x Co. as stenographer and typewriter He gave up this place three weeks ago to be- como amanuensis to the Rev. k. Payson Hammond. the evangelist, of 26 Atwood street
 Reed was fond of literature, chiefly novels. When "Trilby" came out the was enthusiastic and had read and reread the volume until he became "Trilby'' mad Wednesday night Mir. Hammond heard groans in the barn in the rear of his house. and found Reed lying on the floor of the carriage house writhing in pain. A physi- clan was called and emetics administered, so that the boy became able to speak. He was asked what he had taken, and said he had taken poison.
 Why did you do it?" asked the physi- clan.
 Blamed Svengali For It.
 Because that villain Svengali hypno- tized me. I tried to sing this afternoon, and he wouldn't let mo. The only way I can escape him is by dying. Do you think ho can hypnotize me after am deads"
 The physician thought not. Then the dying boy inquired;
 Do you think will see her in hcaven?"
 "See whom?" said Mir. Hammond.
 Why. Trilby."
 Tho doctor saw that tho boys life could not be saved, and so humorcd him.
 "Ycs," he said, II think you will see her. -
 And will sec Little BilIco there too" persisted Reed.
 Yes was tho answer. For a long time he lay in silence. then suddenly ho asked:
 If I should not die do you think that Svensat would trouble mo any murc:"
 No, I don't think he would" said the doctor.
 Why do you suppose ho wanted to hyp- notiZe mo? Do you think it was because he had killed Trilby? How do you think he managed to get me in his power: He is dead. you know. Do you think he is in heaven too:"
 II don {" said the doctor decidedly
 Finally he relapsed into unconscious ness, and two hours later he died. He will ho buried in Essex. Among his effects was found a picture of Trilby singing Ben Bolt. with Svengali welding the baton, and there was also picture of the threc artists on their promenade.
 The friends of young Reed have noticed for some timo that he acted queerly, and thought of taking steps to have him con- mittCd to an asylum.

 DOVER. Del, May 8.-Unless a joint resolution resembling former action can be passed in the general assembly, which is hardly probable. the two housesHwill adjourn sine die at 3 o'clock on the after noon of May Q. From present indications there is no doubt of an adjournment as the Democratic senate. even If the Repub- lican house could muster enough votes to extend tho session, would oppose such a resolution. as they desire to have the leg islature adjourn without electing 6 Unit cd States senator. This seems to be the wish of at least four of the supporters of J. Edward Addioks also, and the latter has said that in such a contingency he would make a fight two years hence.
 In commenting on the above assertion Of Mr. Addicks, a prominent Republican of Kent county. who held government position under the Harrison administra- tion, said: At tho next general election the people of this state will not only vote for a governor, but also for presidential electors and we need Mir.
