BROOKLYN BRIEFS


 The Town Plot school was reopen ed for the fall term last week. All the old teachers were present. There was an attendance of 13O and it is ex- pected that there will be about 15O pu- pills before this week is ended There is also an increased attendance at the South Brooklyn school.
 -Adams's farm on Town Plot was the most attractive place in the town yesterday. And it ought to have been, for it was the scene of the bake of the Hygeia club, and almost all the prominent democratic candidates for office were there. Chris Dunphy. the general manager of the affair, was radiant with smiles and we'll he might have been, for no bake was ever more satisfactorily managed. If those pres ent at the bake could have fheir
 wishes fulfilled, the name of John
 Moore, the caterer, would be added to the roll of honor in the house of fame
 Everything from the gigantic porker to the baked beans were cooked in the
 manner that mother used to do it. President c. Dunphy made a felicitous speech of welcome and had his listen- CTS, POO in number, in convuIsions from laughter So great was the
 laughter that for their own safety they requested him to cease when he remarked, sThey call me King Grab
 All and I guess it is right, for I seem to have grabbed all the politicians from the four winds.'' Hellmann's Ad- vance drum corps rendered delightful selections, and the music by Cams
 orchestra gave those present an in- creased appetite. And what an appe- tite some individuals have. They fair ly devoured everything in sight, ever the remnants. 1t was q great spread. Among those who contributed to the amusement of the day were Thomas
 McGrath, William Adams, Albert Adams, William Fogarty and Edward
 Cass in solos, while John F. Sheehali
 delivered several recltations. Consta- ble Donahue sang s.How Like to Lin-
 ger at the Old Fireside" Those pres ent considered this as meaning that
 the genial constable has no desire to become sheriff, But is dead in love | with his present position as constable.
 Robert McGrath and Chris Dunphy sang duet. Both tried to outdo each other in singing softly and sweetly. There were so many features at the bake that the entire paper would not | contain space enough to mention all of them. Among those present were | Dr Hayes, Captain Fitzpatrick, City | Clerk Ryan, Assessors Clohessey and | Coyle, Registrar Hynes, Attorney | Holohan, chairman of the democratic town committee, Alderman BOylan, Constable Donahu6 John Crary, 1 Thomas McMahon, Robert McGrath, | Henry Connor, Chris Strobel, Joe Beg nal, Joe Cullen, T. F. Luddy anu a | host of others.

 of McKinley's Assailant.
 Washington, Sept S.-"The exigen- cies of life are such that no man living can count upon the continuance of ex- istence for any length of time. Among these exigencies are disease, accident and the bullet of the assassin, such as We have heard of in the past forty hours. That occurrence at Buffalo in- dicates that no man is safe from the shaft of death. It is very difficult to get away from it, and while I have ever been loyal to the law and have ever contended for it's strict enforce ment, must say that the affair of 4 o'clock Friday has almost converted me into an advocate of lynch law. Surely there was no occasion, no req son for that dreadful work, and wheth- CT the work of sane man or lunatic, there can be no justification for it.'' Thus spoke the presiding elder Rev Dr H. R. Naylor, in McKinley's own church yesterday.

Nineteen Lives Lost at Asylum at
Rochester, New York.

Rochester, N. Y. (SpeciaD. - Fire
broke out in the hospital section of the
Rochester Orphan Asylum at one
O'Clock a. m. on Hubbel Park, and the
flames spread rapidly to other sections
of the institution. 1t is known that
10 of the children perished, and it Is
feared that many more victims may be
reported later.
The fire was first discovered by two
men passing the asylum. They hastily
sent in an alarm, and then turned
their attention toward arousing the
nurses and the children. A ter
rife explosion was then heard, and
in moment the entire hospital
section was in flames. On the ar
rival of the fire apparatus a general
alarm was sent in, calling out the en-
tire department. The smoke began to
pour out Of every window in the main
building, and the screams and frantic
cries of the children could be heard.
The work Of rescue began with will.
Children and nurses were carried from
the building all in an unconscious con-
dition, some dead Ambuances from
the City, st. Mary's Homeopathic and
Hahnemann Hospitals were summon
ed, and the victims were removed to
the several institutions.

BURLEIGH BILL PASSED.

386 Members.

Washington (SpeciaD After one OF
the most interesting discussions heard
during the present session the House
of representatives, by a vote of 165 to

leigh bill and which increases the rep
resentation in the popular legislative
branch from 357 to 3S6.
Ever since the reassembling Of Con-
gress the question Of reappOrtionment
has been under consideration, and at
times the debate was quite acrlmOni-
Gus. 1t began with an attempt to draw
party lines upon a resolution aimed at
those Southern States in which the re-
qurements practically disfranchised
the colorcd voters. The conservative
members, however, backed by the ad-
ministration, frowned down any legis-
lation which was intended to cut down
representation in that section, and the
eight thereupOn narrowed down to the
basis and to the total membership Of
the House.

Sad Plight of the Stranded Russie's

DESPERATE EFFORTS AT HELP
The Terrified UniOrtunates Can See the PeO'

the Angry Sea Puts at Naught All Attempts
Made at Rescue.-At Last Reports All OF

from the village of Faraman, ne''

in a violent storm with 1O2 persons
according to a revised count, on board
say that all efforts to reach the steamer
have failed owing to the tremendous
height Of the seas which are running.
For three days she has been in sight
Of the shore, where a great crowd is
watching unable to rescue those or
board.
Shortly after o'clock, In lull, the
men on shore succeeded in getting
lifeline to the Russie, but 1t snapped
as 1t was being pulled on board. Other
similar attempts failed but a more
hopeful feeling prevails in view Of the
indications that the weather is clear
ing.
A signal message from the RussiC
says: The passengers are all kept be
low, but all the crew are at their posts
and the captain and officers are lasheC
to the bridge. The seamen have tried
to construct several RATS, but as they
leared completion they were washed
away"
the sand proves to have been a lucky
thing for those on board, as the bow
of the Russie is tilted high above all
save the biggest waves and affords 2
refuge. Otherwise it is believed thai
all on board would have long since
perished.
A number Of the crew and passengers
were seen clinging to the foreriggine
and deck rails making despairing sig
nails for succOr, which those ashore
were powerless to afford. The gale in
creased in fury all night long, and
though a fiickering light was seen from
time to time, apparently waved by
those on board to attract attention, L

Mr.. BRYAN SPEAKS.
LOng-ExpeCted Address Delivered at
Jackson Day Dinner.

Omaha Especially AT the Jacksonian
Clubs banquet in this city the defeat
ed Democratic Presidential candidate,
the Hon. w. J. Bryan, made the first
speech bearing on the political situa-
ton in the country since the election
November s.
In the opinion OF many, who expect
ed Mr.. Bryan to explain much in that
speech the address was a disappoint-
ment
The speech before the club, in brief,
Is as follows:
Il do not take as personal the eulo-
gies offered to me, but rather to my
connection with the Democratic party"
Il would rather continue to lose,
said he, than to surrender any of the
principles for which we have fought
The situation was as dark in 1872 as
now, hut we honestly won in 1876. We
are still in the right The platform
that was right when written in Kan
sas City is right now"
Fr Bryan said the position of the
Democratic partyOn the mOneyquestiOn
was vindicated when the Republican
party decided that it was necessary to
Increase the money circulation. He ar
raigned the Republican party for what
he termed hypocrisy on the trust ques-
ton and the other planks of its plat
form. He insisted that the Democratic
party was the conservative party and
that the people would soon understand
1t in this manner.
Referring to party reorganization, he
said.
when a man is divorced from his
wife he no longer looks after the well
fare of his wife until he is remarked
to her"
Mr.. Bryan predicted a regeneration
of the party and victory in 1904.

Poll Tax Reform.
-othelIo.

Perhaps the. poll tax as a condition precedent to the privilege of the bal lot-for the ballot is not a right, but privilege-is the only way in which the ballot in this State can be ren. dered free from taint of fraudulent practices. It is certainly the speediest way to ballot purification, if not the only one.
 For poll tax payment is necessarily 8 matter of record. A receipt attends it. This receipt and the lists of pre- paid voters are a double safeguard, and any departure from it could at once be brought into court and pun ished and rectified. The occupation of the ballot box expert would be as fully gone as Othello's.
 This safeguard and condition prece- dent would no doubt eliminate tenn porarily many whites. It does do so in Georgia, and particularly so in Mis-  sissippi, but man who contributes nothing to the State does not deserve a voice in its affairs, and while he re- mains thus negligent he should be de- prived of a vote. When he desires to vote he can pay his poll tax, past and present.
 If this plan be fortified by the de NEelopment and recognition of the pri mary. the difficult problem is solved without aHy transfer of fraudulent practices from the ballot box to the registration lists under an 'intelli. gence" clause, or any such risks of constitutionality as the grandfather clause involves. Alabama needs neither. A combination of poll tax and primary will cure her suffrage troubles as effec.ually as similar combination meets and remedies the troubles of Georgia. Let us be conservative and just to all the people of the State, and at the same time make sure that the ballot is reformed and all fraudulent practices in connection with it driven out.
