 -Wyzmty Wilkoski got into an arr gument with his wife's boarders last evening in their home on Railroad Hill street, and to emphasize matters he broke chair on one fellows head and then smashed window. He was fined $7 and costs in the city court to-day.
 Even the best of us are caught mapping. A well known citizen of Brooklyn while recently dining in 3 restaurant in Hartford picked up the menu card and hastily glancing at the courses ordered bunch of "sea lions." The waiter stated that there was nothing doing in that line as he had no such dish, but the Waterbur- ian insisted. At length after the wait CT convinced him that there was no such course in the house he again picked up the card and almost fell under the table when he saw his mis- take. What he thought was "sea- lions" was simply scallions, the "c" appearing something like an "e.' He did not take the bunch of scallions, but ordered another course. He gave the waiter tip.
 Daniel Mahaney of Bank street, one of the most unique characters of the city, left this morning on five or six weeks vacation which will be spent at White Springs, Fla. As MT Mahaney walked from Brooklyn this morning, accompanied by several of his friends who went to the station to see him off, he was stopped on the way numerous times by those who were eager to shake his hands. Be- fore he stepped on the train Dan" thought he would like to say a few words on the meter question as many were eager to hear what he thought of the plan. He declared that he Is in accord with the plan of City Engi- neer Cairns to build storage reser- voir at the Branch and thinks this is the solution of the water problem. "I am not an advocate of meters and think that the city will make a mis- take should 1t decide to place them in the houses of this city. In my opin- ion a feasible solution is to tap Ban tam river; that is, buy the right of way for pipe line to that stream and have it run into a storage reser- voir built at the Branch. If that 1, done this city will have enough wa ter until the day of eternity. Mind you, say Bantam river, not Bantam lake. Should the lake be tapped during the summer months for fer mentation Is of such a nature that the water would be undrinkable and much sickness would result. As I look at 1t, when the subject is thor oughly discussed and the opinion of those whose judgment amount to anything is heard, the plan as stated above will be carried out" MT Ma nancy looked very we'll considering that of late he has been fighting his friend whom he expects to lose down in the balmy climate of Florida where Monsignor Slocum and Michael keeley have been for several weeks.
 Brooklyn has factories of vari- ous kinds, some of which are rather novel, and although conducted on A small basis, at divers periods they at- tract attention, especially the cigar cite emporium which was started some months ago and where tobacco is now made. It has its breweries. Its bottling works and stores in abundance. During the past year certain things have transacted in this section which have caused the name of Brooklyn to receive notori- ety, and Brooklyn has not only with stood them all. some of which were good, others bad, but has prospered beyond expectations, and now this section is one of the busiest parts of the city, at times being regarded as a small town in itself. It has inn provement committees and improve ment societies who are ever alert to boom this section of the city, and as for we'll known characters. 1t certain ly has it's share. The latest factory, if such it may be called, although only in its infancy and starting on a small scale. is one which will be well comed by few, looked upon with disfavor by others, but undoubtedly will be regarded as something of a curiosity by the majority. It is a macaroni factory, and its place of business is at 2 John street. The machinery has arrived and in a few days the wheels will be in operation and that wholesome and healthful product will be turned out by the yard. Scientists and those who have studied the diet question say those who take a goodly amount of this appetizing food into their systems are as a rule healthful. consequently If the factory prospers 1t is likely that the residents of this section of
