Judge Tayter was the creature OF the quorum OF

ANTI-SPITTING BRIGADE.
One Formed Among Brooklyn Boys-Dr.
Darlington at Mass Meeting.

Now. boys. who of you will take packet of
these anti-spitting cards and promise to give one
to every person you see spitting?
About two hundred youngsters from the public
schools raised their hands at this question from
DR.. Joseph H. Raymond. former Commissioner OF
Health Of Brooklyn Then there a round OF ap-
plause, led by DR.. Darlington president OF the De-
partment OF Health of New-York. and Joined in by
the boys themselves they could COM
mand both hands.
So. spontaneously and informally. boys anti
splitting brigade sprang into being yesterday af-
ternoon at the mass meeting held under the au-
spices of the Brooklyn Bureau Of Charities at the
Amphion Theatre in Williamsburg.
The meeting was designed to be a mssionary
meeting, so to speak, the object being to spread
information relative TO tuberculosis and to stir
up persons to the need of action and vigilance in
nghting II. especially in its inroads among the
poor. Tickets having been distributed the pupils
or the public schools by the teachers in the morn
Ing. enough boys and girls went to give the or
chestra OF the theatre partly inhabited appear
ance. while forty or fifty adults sought shelter
under the balcony from the polar bre yrs which
blew from above and behind the stage. The grim
hurnor or sitting in an icebox while Commissioners
OF Health and ex-Commissioner of Health
addressed one on the need of vigilance in SANTA
ton and hygiene appealed to many. as they turned
their coat collars W about their ears and thrust
their hands deep down into their pockets.
DR.. James H Darlington rector of Christ Church
Bedford-ave.. and brother of DR.. Darlington. the
COMMISSIONER, opened the meellnS pS Out
lining its purpose. and then appointed Alfred t.
White chairman. DR.. Thomas Darlington then
introduced. and spoke for hour. describing to the
children the scope and method OF the many de-
partments of which he is head.
Among others things, he told them that 80 per
cent of the public school children in Manhattan
had some sort Of eye trouble. Later, in talking
about pneumonia, he said that 20 per cent of well
people had the germs of this disease in their
In order to ascertain how IT was that this dis
ease so prevalent and virulent," said Dr.
Darlington "Our inspectors have been examining
persons mouths to see If pneumonia germs were
to be found in them. They examined the mouths
of a large number OF medical students who were
in good health, and 20 per cent were found 10
have the germs of the disease in their mouths
Seventy per cent of you people in this theatre
have pneumonia germs in your mouths Why don't
you take the disease? Because your system Is
strong enough to resist it, But if you go splitting

spittle is likely to dry and be breathed into the

hearers by telling them Brooklyn was 10 nave d

WOMEN TAXPAYERS AND VOTING.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir A paragraph in to-day's issue states that
bin will soon be introduced permitting women
taxpayers to vote in cities Of the third class II
should be qualified read vote on special propo-
siton involving the raising OF a tax" and Is IN
accordance with Governor Higginss message 10
the legislature in which he recommends the ex-
tension ard restriction Of the right to vote al sp
cial tax elections 10 property holders.
IF the right TO vote at tax elections is TO De
limited TO property holders. 1t would seem Dut an
act of justice to extend that right to women
property holders as well to men," This is char
acterzed IAN important suggestion In your
editorial the Governors message. This right
or privilege Is given to women in the majority OF
the third class cities and in all towns and villages
throughout the State and is exercised by suf-
fragist'' and 'anti-sufrasist' alike.
In some of the cities which the proposed bill
seeks 10 cover men vote on their wives property,
but widows and single women are entirely unrep-
resented.
Section l. Article p OF the constitution. says:
"a shall be the duty Of the legislature to provide
foz the organisation of cities and incorporated vii
lagos and restrict their power of taxation. as
sessment. borroEAnS money. contracting debts and
loaning their credit so as TO prevent abuses IN as
sessment and in contracting debt by such municipal
corporations"
A late decision of the Court of Appeals which
pronounces the. taxpayers vote constitutional on
these questions in place OF the vote of the electors
says: What better or more erecuve method OF
preventing such abuses and protecting such taXpdy-
trS could be devised than restrict the fA&nt OF
voting upon propositions for borrowing nosszy or
for contracting debts to the persons who arp nAbe
to be taxed for the payment Of SuCl debtST'
The taxpayers vote on these questions Ia then
characterized desirable and pre-emnently just,
While women suffragists believe that it would
be advantage to the government to have their
conscientiousness. patriotism and intelligence d.
rectly represented. they obliged to wait till the
representatives elected by men alone can see that
their demands are reasonable and right Meantime
it would seem as il so reasonable a request as
that embodied in the third class cities bill which
is property right exercised throughout the State,
except in a few places only required TO be called
TO the attention of our legislators to insure its
speedy passage. Respectfully yours,
MARY II. LOINES.

A SUNSHINE SONG.

Oh the worlds running with loving and laugh
ter.
With sunshine and happy song;
And spite of the clouds comes the shining atter,
The shadows never for long.
After the rain comes the bursting flower,
The fragrance Of all things sweet
Robins glad of the dancing shower,
LarKs in the tossing wheat.
And all the way is the heartsease growing
BY paths here our feet are led.
Niolets low in the grass showing
How blue the skies oerhead.
Oh the worlds running with blessing and
beauty;
And we, pass along,
VIII find in the grim old Lata called Duty
Sunshine and flowers and song.
Though clouds may marshal themselves together
With thunder and rain and blast,
Surely will follow the glad. bright weather,
Sunshine will conquer at last!
