OF Linnaeus who brought this Mexican plant into

the way, calls the dahlia "Ceorgine." in honor OF
another boranist Georgi.
Many different names are possessed by the gyp-

the race from its complexion, and dubs them
"Karachi," or swarthy. A Scotch charter Of the
twelfth ,s century mentions their Scotch name as

BROOKLYN MUSEUM.
Old Galleries RenOUated and the
NezC Ready.

The picture galleries at the Brooklyn Mu-
scum, which have been closed for repairs since
July 22, will be open to the public at , o'clock
this afternoon. Not only will the old galleries
be open. but with them also three new galleries
in the new eastern section of the structure. AL
together. the galleries will be found twice the
size of the old. and well supplied with new sub
jects that have not been exhibited before to the
patrons of the institution.
Since the closing of the old galleries last
summer they have been thoroughly renovated.
repaired and decorated and all the pictures have
been rearranged. The opening of the rooms in
the new section has made it possible to display
the collection to much better advantage.
Under the system that has now been inaugu-
rated, the new eastern square gallery which
measures A. by A. feet. and the neighboring
small room. which is 40 feet long and Is feet
in width are occupied entirely by paintings by
the old masters. Contemporary and nineteenth
century European pieces cover the walls Of the
new eastern long gallery which is 10 feet long
and 3S feet wide. The contemporary American
paintings have exclusively for their exhibition
the Old long gallery. known 5 the western
long gallery. which measures also 10 by 3S
feet The old entrance gallery. which is So by
Is feet in area. is now devoted to early and his
toric American art. while the small western
gallery. 40 by 10 feet. is set aside for historic
American portraits and several miscellaneous
exhibits.
In all the rooms the only pictures that remain
as formerly are those OF the TissOt collection,
10 be seen In the western square gallery. The
extent Of the galleries now are much more in
keeping with the requirements made upon the
museum by the Brooklyn public. II is esti-
mated that the total length of the galleries
from TO west is 33S feet. Were it not
for the dome room. which stretches its 131
fcet between the eastern and western galleries.
the series would occupy all OF one floor Of the
building
The total number OF pictures that will be
exhibition this afternoon will be 20. The most
numerous group is in the Tissot room. This
contains $50 pieces. The contemporary and
nineteenth century European pictures number
129. the contemporary American pictures, 142.
and the group made UP OF the old masters, -.
The fact that many have been gotten to-
Cethcr within the last ten years. which Is the
length OF time that tho museum has been open,
Is considered noteworthy.
In the dome room, which intervenes between
the two series of galleries. are the Renaissance
case exhibits. These have been increased since
the public last them by the addition Of casts
Of the tombs OF the Medic in Florence. The
architecture OF the tombs was the work Of
Michael Angelo. This is said to be the first
time that they have been shown in any museum
in connection with the architectural details and
setting which have been especially cast for the
museum Ly Gerber of Cologne. Among the
other recent additions to the collection are casts
of Michael Angeles Moses" and his 'Pieta."

TOBACCO TRUST ANSWER.
Enters Denial That lt Is a Monops
 >oly In Restraint of Trade.


 New York, Oct S.-"whatr' exclaims the American Tobacco company in ef- feet. replying to Attorney General Bo- naparte's antitrust lawsuit. Do you call us "a trust, conspiracy in re- straint of trade? MT. Bonaparte, you are mistaken"
 The attorney general last July had bill filed in the United States court in this city alleging that the American Tobacco company and its allied and subsidiary corporations and firms were in fact an octopus and asking for receivership for the whole outfit. The answer of the trust and of its code fendants. including Thomas F. Ryan, James B. Duke, Oliver H. Payne and Anthony S. Brady. directors. Is a curl osity of the literature of the law.
 The keynote of the defense is that while the trust has combined many companies and interests into one 1t has no power to control the industry in which it is engaged nor would it if 1t could The answer in a dozen places declares that it is competing only with popular brands and that so long as brands remain in existence competition cannot be destroyed. because competi- ton in every branch of the tobacco trade is struggle between brands and not between factories and the rival concerns owning them.

THE POLICE COURT.
Waterville Man Sent to Brookside for
 Thirty Days.

There was not much business for the city court to-day. Otto Book was charged with breach of the peace by beating John Hickey of Mohawk park. The matter was fully related in the Democrat last Saturday. The case against Book was continued to Thurs day as Hickey was not able to be in court.
 John Blake was picked up this morning sleeping it off on a street in Waterville. He was committed to Brookside for thirty days.
 It was late when John Lane of Baldwin street went home to his fam fly last night. Lane has been drink ing and there has been considerable sickness at home. He disturbed the whole family and Officer Gabriel was called in. His son testified against him this morning. The case was con- tinued to Saturday and if Lane breaks out meanwhile he will have to go to jail for thirty days without further trial.
 A few days ago a case against Simon Miller and William March!ka for breach of the peace was continued because an interpreter could not be found. The accused were not on hand to-day and their bonds were called. The amount in each case was s100 and the bail givers were Anna Bandler and A. Buckich.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

l Michael Brennan of Charles street has entered the Albany school of pharmacy.
 The parade was welcomed all along the line in Brooklyn last even ing and an abundance of red fire was on hand.
 The Cadets were scheduled to meet for practice this evening, but are not likely to do so because of the weather.
 -"Jack" Dahill painted the flag pole of the Hellmann Brewing plant yesterday morning. He skinned up the pole as though he were climbing tree.
 Although none of the democratic aldermen won out in the third ward, John Henderson may nevertheless feel contented as long as the alder manic chamber will be democratic.
 William P. Loeff1er ran well in his own ward, the third, but still his running mate on the ticket for the board of relief beat him out. No doubt there are few republicans on the hill who are pleased at Loeffler's defeat.
 The anticipated opposition to Alderman Walker did not materialize in the third ward, although he was cut to some extent. The republican candidate for alderman in the third would have to be rather unpopular to lose.
 The stories that Assistant City Clerk James R. Lawlor and some of his friends were out working for William H. Sandland should be taken with grain of salt. Such phones" are always in the air after an election.
 The old fourth ward was there with the votes yesterday and boiled a majority for the democratic ticket that will make it in line for honors as the premier democratic ward of the city. As the democratic leaders watched the big vote coming out in the fourth they were overjoyed and knew what to expect when the polls closed. The fourth and fifth were expected to bring out a majority of 1,500, but there was hardly per son who thought that it would eX- ceed 1,600 As man remarked this morning, Tt is only natural after all, judging from the majorities they roll up, that the voters of the fourth | and fifth should expect a little more from the democratic party than those in the nrst and third wards"
