power and brain force, and thus squanders

In ali Lord Woseey's campaigns he made IL @
rule, where possible, to allow each soldier pound
of tobacco a month, which he considered a fair
allowance. In Italy the military authorities recog-

the troops and cigars are served out to them with
their daily rations.
In France there are six million smokers, and of

GOSSIP OF THE BOROUGH
Gift for Z. S. Grant POSt-TO MOUe
Old Montauk Theatre.

u S. Grant Post 1877 has received as a
gift from Christopher w Wilson bronze tab
let mounted a large marble Slab bearing
Iincoln's Gettysburg speech. This has been set
IN on the right side of the front hall of the
headquarters building, No. 4S9 Washington
avenue. Since the post haS'oCcupied L. S. Grant
Han, scarcely q year, il has expanded in a
manner hardly expected by people familiar
with the small portion OF the Johnson Build
ing which il formerly occupied. II has an ex-
cellent museum, which is constantly growing.
This is now displayed to great advantage III its
own room. While the walls of the building are
not bare by any means. the post is in position
TO use TO good effect many more gifts or the
nature of Mr.. Wilson's.
/ The old Montauk Theatre building is soon to
be moved hundred feet and placed on a
foundation on the Flatbush avenue extension.
IN the process it must turn corner at an
angle Of 80 degrees. The contract for moving
the structure has been awarded to Ivenson,
Gustafson & Co. The work will cost about
$100.G90. The owners say that the value Of
the building alone on its new site will be
$4,000. A Chicago contractor said the other
day that the moving of the building would re-
Quire 137 carloads OF material and would oc-
cupy the attention OF one hundred skilled work
men ninety days.
Brooklynites will be pleased TO know that con-
ductors OF the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany must change IS bills. This is the decision
of Justice Kelly of the Supreme Court Brook
Iyn- The justice reached this conclusion while
considering the motion for new trial made by
a subsidiary company of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company in the case Of Patrick Curry
recently. Curry had been put of car because
he had nothing with him less than 50 bill
The company has no rule at present denying
passengers the right to tender bills OF that de-
nomination. contrary TO popular belief, but IL
has the right. in the opinion of the court, Ito
make rule limiting the size Of bills that may
be offered.
The justices of the Supreme Court are not
taking kindly TO the new custom of wearing
gowns on the bench. Ever since the justices of
the Appellate Division adopted the custom
couple of years ago, there has been a quiet agi-
tation for the adOrnment on the part Of some
of the magistrates a step below. Three or four
weeks ago a mysterious meeting held by
unnamed majority Of the justices and judges
end few days later its announced that
gowns would shortly appear in the County Court
House. The rumor verified a couple of
weeks ago. Justice Marean wore his gown at a
morning session. and then he laid il aside for
imposing occasions only. Now Justice Dickey
has hung his up for keeps IN the judicial ward
robe.
