Dr. D ClaJr McKelway. editor of "The Brooklyn

■The dining room and the reception room, which
1^ tf be used to accommodate the ISO diners, were
jrafasely decorated with palms and other greens.
yt;, ir.e:.; was a lars:« card, In a portfolio, bearing
, Striking likeness of Dr. McKelway, a picture of
lb« ■ pie Building, ar.d what purported to be the
gl^glinile of a part of the editorial page of '"The
jXjrit" of current date.
Mr. Lawrence, in ••:.'.!. the after-dinner part
( . tt» '.„-• spoke of the change in the destinies
o f t»:e club eince last winter by reason of the
4c«nt sail cf the Fifth avenue house. "The gov
ernors has* yielded to the temptation of filthy
Jacrs sj : . sold your house over your heads," he
Sftid. I"''^'" eaid a voice.) "I hope it is good.
I bop* ■• shall b* contented with a modest club

Jrjr bip:ieF6 of things. I mm tired of marble col

»rtl*t* or journalists, we should admit no one not
'in lympathy tilth the aims of these callings."

JJarlc TVain. who went to two] in the same

fond-natured dig or. two at the hands of the speak,
ir. Vt. McKeheay said in part:
I have spoken often enough at the Lotos Club
vhtn others have been honored, to know what to
npect from these who will fellow me. They fire
Ibt isrseieers. I am the target. For wiiat I am
tbout to rer-elve from them may the Ix>rd make me

Keuer editors than men of other callings havo re

J r£n only recall Murnt Halbiead, the . lie Charles

Mr. Woodruff spoke of a dinner at the Lotos

1 resident, then Governor, and he quoted the Presi
dent as saying he was sorry the dinner came that
"iglit. because there was a great prizefight In

I '(• Bade"), and are proud of its editor. May
we live to *•><> the day when "darkest Brooklyn"
is the principal borough of this city, and he, as
vigorous Hsa ever, is conducting a. supplement to
Iho Eagle' to publish the news of Manhattan.
Kx -Judge Parker, who was introduced as "an
adopted son of New York City." referred to his
campaign for the Presidency In a good natured way
that esnasi both laughter and applause. He said
in part:
Governor Hoffman, »ho spoke to us when I was
In the Albany law School, advised us to keep out
«if polities, at least until we had pained a compe
tency. i followed that advice until the year 1904.
a time which some of you perhaps may remain her.
I remember tlmt 1 did rot receive votes enough to
make a decided impression on the country nt large,
Up to that time another had held the championship
at* the "great defeated." But I wrested it from
him— with some assistance.
It may not be generally known, but Dr. McKelway
studied law and was admitted to the bar. He was
the only student I ever heard of who cojnmitted
the code to memory. Most of us wanted in commit
it to the waste basket. I remember when lie wasn't
permitted to run an independent paper, but ran an
orcan — an organ of Democracy. "The Albany Ar
gus." I must pay that I admired hit editorials as
much then as I do now. We all know that If he
bad remained in law he would now be at the heHd
of tha New York bar. and would be dividing his
time, perhaps, between trying to keep some corpo
ration solvent or trying to keep some client, of the
class which some me has termed "the criminal
rich,' nut of jail. On the federal bench he might
have had to scrutinise the President's messages to
«•*><? whether his rulira on the law met with the
approval or disapproval of the Chief Executive. Mv
belief, however, is that he has been far more useful
as -in editor. We have sll profited by his work.
President Butler of Columbia said the only way
to head off the impending Brooklyn domination
was to take up a subscription to move "The
Brooklyn Eagle" to Manhattan. He said that the
press apparently remained as the last refuge of
omniscience, and he hoped the time would never
come when there would he withdrawn from publio
opinion the support of ■ well considered and able
editorial pase.
At this point Dr. Van Dyke Paid perhaps all at
tlie table did not know that the poet Tennyson
had written a. poem on "Tho Eagle." "I will re
peat it/ he said, "so you may judge of its apposi
tion." He then recited the poem with great effect.
In Introducing Hart Lyman Mr. Lawrence said:
"He Is doubly and triply welcomed, as he stands
as the successor of Horace Greet** and our be
loved Whitelaw Reid."
Mr. Lyman added 'lie word of appreciation of
the §HS*t of the evening.
Osrar B. Straus, who has recently been called to
the Presidential Cabinet, paid: -
There has been some lament here to-night that
the day of the %r°it editors, who injected their
personality into their papers, has gone. I do not
think it is a causx? of lamentation, lien now—ex
cept those who live in Brooklyn— want tho news
In their papers, and they will do the thinking
themselves.
He said he en earned it a great privilege to have
found his way under the roof of the Lotos Club.
•I esteem it," he added, "because In other literary
bodies they usually wait" until a man is dead in
order to nave a commemorative meeting."
It seemed to .be the consensus of opinion that Dr.
M< Keiway. who had been made the subject of much
praise and not a little good-natured chaffing, should
have a chance to reply. In it he said, In part:
My friends, I am grateful to you: my enemies, I
forgive you. Brooklyn needs no eulogy. She needs
more bridge?. Here you grow into the air. and it
is as near heaven as you may hope to be. In
Brooklyn you may spread out. And when at the
Judgment Day our cordon of cemeteries are the
flrpt to eive up their saints, the saints will hear:
"Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou
Into the Joys which you wculd have lost had you
lived in Manhattan and which you have already
experienced In part by your residence in Brooklyn."

A CANADIAN OPINION ON LYNCHING.

* DECLINE OF CHINESE TEA.
From The Youth's Companion.
Some Interesting statistics have been collected
by Vice Consul Arnold at Foochow concerning the
e'eat lecline in China's tea trade. From 167*1.
when tea was first introduced into England, until
IJC.7 China held exclusively the tea trade of the
world Then India began to enter the tea market.
The Chines" trade reached high tide In IMS. with
a total export of MO.MO.OM pounds. In lSc>4 China
furnished about 72 per cent of the world's total,
India and Ceylon IS per cent and Japan and For
mosa lTSer cent. But In 1904, when the total con
sumption had Increased to 644,000.000 pounds, China
contributed only 20 per cent. India and Ceylon tiO
tier cent Japan and Formosa 10 per cent, we
decline in China is ascribed to careless methods of
cultivation ar.d preparation of the leaf.
POSTAL BANK FACTS

The British postofflee savings bank is continually

in th« form of a system of "withdrawal on de

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
APPEAL FOR THE CHILDREN.
Consumers' Leagne Renews Request to Shop
Early— Operation of Child Labor Law.
Vo the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: This year, for the first time, Christmas may
be a season of rejoicing and bring gladness even to
the thousands of little children who toll in the de
partment stores— to the cash children and messen
gers, and especially to the little package wrappers
and delivery Jsoys. For in past years, to the shame
of th« community, th« latter have often worked
past midnight on stormy winter nights to serve the
thoughtless shoppers who delay their shopping till
the last week before Christmas.
But this year should usher In a new era. Ac
cording to the new child labor law which was
passed by tho last Legislature, all children, how
ever employed, are to be freed from work when the
clock ttrlkes "—if the Department of Health and
its inspectors see to it that the new provision Is
really enforced.
Here is an opportunity to show whether the
community Is genuinely Interested in checking child
labor. By shopping before December 16, and al
ways early in the day. the merchants will be re
lieved of the temptation of keeping the children
beyond the legal closing hour. It remains to be
seen what showing the. people of New York will
make, In this practical test of their principles.

TO SPREAD PRESIDENT'S IDEAS.
Suggestion of School Reader Made Up from
His Messages and the Speeches of Others.
To the Editor of The Tribune
. Sir: We find that many new things suggested by
The Tribune become facts, because the public sees
their force and adopts them. I have been thinking
thai if some of the truths, such as those in Presi
dent Roosevelt's late message, could be put before
the young, the increase in rlßht feeling and true
patriotism would be manifest. If the truths con
cerning right dealing between corporations and
their employee, concerning Juat dealing toward all
races of men, and concerning fair business among
Individuals and corporations, could be placed whe,re
the minds of youth could be influenced by them, the
fruit would appear In young men and women l av
in«r broad views and' kinder sentiments toward their
follow men.
Would it not be a practical way of doing it to
embody portions of President Roosevelt's messages,
of the address of Secretary Root in Brazil and of
his late speech In the West, of Senator Loose's
speeches, of Senator Bevertdge's speeches and some
of Mr. Blalne'a gnat speeches in a school reader
to be circulated throughout the country?
Footnotes might five the occasions and dates of
thepe messages and addresses, so that the older
pupils could turn to end read the whole from
which these parts are taken.
I recall some portions of President Roosevelt's
"Life of Oliver Cromwell" that teach what the
highest forms of true citizenship are most ad
mirably.
Would not gome firm of publishers which makes
n specialty of petting up new school books be will
ing to undertake the work?

AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP.
To the« Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I am pleased to see the position you take
regarding "American craftsmanship." I have my
self challenged the position taken on different occa
sions by Mr. Vanderllp, and In an article in th«
November number of "Caspler's Magazine" stated
my views at some length and my reasons for same.
I feel that there Is danger of a wronsr impression
p .;,'; > •.;,' abroad unless it is counteracted by our
American press. Another point on which I "differ
with Mr. \ anderllp is on the question of the trade
school being the principal means to develop skill.
While I feel that there is a field for the trade
schools, I have for some years emphasized the
needs of the extension of the apprenticeship system
In its modern development as the best means to
develop such skill. L. D. BURLINGAME.

IS DR. CRAPSEY IN ADVANCE OF HIS AGE?
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Bir: Rather frequently of late the Scribes and
Pharisees" have taken pen In hand to explain that
they are much better people than Dr. Crapsey.
They are groat mind readers, tno. for they know
a!! about Dr. CYapsny's motives, and tell us. In
effect, that he was moved by vain and frivolous
reasons, and lt» doomed to suffer tho jian?» of ills
appointed ambition. Al! this exposition of the
matter Is very refreshing. We are much obliged
to these oracles for informing us what we may be
allowed to think and believe hereafter. Still. It
may be a little disconcerting If It Is discovered a
few years hence that a correct diagnosis of the ease
reveals the fact ttiat Dr. Crapsey h:.d simply been
a little in advance of his age. and that the ,in
atheims bestowed upon him were only v selection
from the assortment which it is usual mid custom
ary to hurl at nil who do their own thinking. We
lire reminded of the late Christopher Columbus and
several other gentlemen who experienced dltllcuUles
and disrespect when they ventured too f:ir ahead
of the crowd. F. H. LANGWORTHT.

Renaud as the Son.
Yesterday was a red letter day at Mr. Hammer
stein's new opera house, for in the afternoon Mau
rice Renaud made his long delayed appearance as
Don Juan, and in the evening "Carmen" was re
peated to the largest audience which the house has
held since the opening night. At S o'clock there was
alnsoat a mob at the box office window, and many
who wished rallery seats had to be turned away.
Mm.-. Bressler-Ginnoli was asrain the Carmen, and
Pahnores the Don Jose. Olllbcrt. singing for the
third time In two days, repeated his fine perform
ance of Dancairo, and the small parts, the chorus
and tiie dances fitted even more admirably and
stirringly into the picture. The changes from Fri
day were two: lime. Gilibert sang Micaela and
Sevellhac was the Kscamillo. Roth are intelligent
artists. If not so good as th.rir predecessors of Fri
day, and the performance was not allowed seriously
to lapse from its hi^h plane of xenoral excellence.
The au'lipnrs was unusually enthusiastic.
A much smaller number of people caw Renaud
as Don Giovanni In the afternoon, but they were
quit" as carried away with enthusiasm, pressing
down to the stage cfter th» final curtain. Renaud
was still a long way from perfect vocal condition,
but in every other rasped hla performance vaa
a marvel. His grace and abandon of bearing, his
picturesque and beautiful costumes, his extraor
dinary charm of face and figure were sufficient to
gt.'n credence for all the Don's amatory conquesta
and more besides, and from hia first entrance to
nls final display of bravado in the face of the
avenging statue while the trombones blared, and
his tragic end, h*» was a figure as real, as* con
vincing to the audience as the creaturp or one's
own imagination. Ills splendidly picturesque and
dramatic pose at the ba*e of the equestrian statue
neirr tbe dose of the fourth act was a thrilling mo
ment in his performance that will not be soon for
gotten; it made the D^n superb in his defiance,
tragic in his proportions.
The part of Donr.a Elvira was sung by Mme.
Gilibert, which mnd^ for Improvement over W>dr.'*«'
day's east, though her? was fr.r from an ideal per
formance. Otherwise the rast was the «:imf, In
cluding Gilibert's fine M.izetto nnd Band's voc-illy
lovely Don Ot t:\vio. The tempi were all taken
faster, nnd there w«r«> not thrc-f> dull mome.nts in
the entire opera.
It might be added that the last w^ek has eeert
an increase of 60 per cent in attendance at Mr.
Hammerstein's house over the preceding w>=k.
A' the older house the lar*e audience was pres
ent in the afternoon, when Caruso, Scnttl, Mme.
Cavalier}. Mme. Alten and th» rest sang again
Giordano's "Fedora," and the smaller andJOWCe in
the evening, to hear Mme. Fleischer-Edfl, Mr
Burrlan and th*-ir associates in "Tannhau=er."
M!s:» Weed sang Venus, without seriously shaking
th ■ laurel leaves upon Miss Fremstad'a brow, but
Cioritz gave a fine performance of Wolfram, and
the entire work was conducted with poetry and
spirit. The afternoon repetition of "Fedora."
which brought out such a large audience, was an
improvement In precision and srroothness over the
first production. Mme. Cavalieri both sang and
acted better than before, and Caruso was at his
best, winning great applause. The finale of the
second act had to be repeated.

THE DAY'S OPERA.
A MEDAL FOR PEARY.
Presented bti Mr. Roosevelt in Be
half of Geographic Society.
[From The Trlhune. Bureau 1
Washington. Dec. 15.— Tho President at the
annual dinner of the National Geographic So
ciety to-night presented to Commander Robert
E. Peary, on behalf of the society, a gold medal
awarded to the Arctic explorer in recognition of
his feat in reaching the farthest North. The
dinner was attended by a distinguished com
pany, including members of the Cabin*-, am
bassadors and their wives and many scientists,
and the spirit of the evening was one of felici
tation over the recent exploits of American ex
plorers, notably the expedition of Commander
Peary and the aacent of Mount McKinley by
Dr. Frederick A. Cook, of New York, who wad
a guest of honor, sitting next to Commander
Peary.
At the table* wers seated four hundred guests.
Willis L. Moore, of the National Gso&Taphlc So
ciety, presided, and the committee assisting in
cluded Alexander Graham Bell, W. J. Board
man. Edward Everett Hale, John W. Foster,
Arnold Hague, Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester.
General William Crozier and John B. Hender
son, jr. Toasts were responded to as follows:
"Congratulations from Italy on America's
Farthest North," by tne Italian Ambassador.
"The United States Navy," by the Secretary of
the Navy.
"Farthest North," by Commander Robert E.
Peary.
"The Top of North America," by Dr. Frederick
A. Cook.
President Roosevelt arrived shortly after 11
o'clock, and his entrance Into the hall was tho
signal for an outburst of applause. The Presi
dent in a brief address paid a tribute to Com
mander Peary. He spoke as follows:
I count myself fortunate in having be«n asked
to bo present this evening at such a gathering
and on behalf of such a society to pay a tribute
of honor to an American who emphatically de
serves well of the commonwealth. (Applause.)
Civilized people usually live under conditions of
life so easy that there la a certain tendency to
atrophy of the hardier virtues. And It is a relief
to pay signal honor to a man who by his
achievements makes it evident that in some of
the race, at least, there has been no loss of hardy
virtue*
I said some loss of the hardier virtues. Wo
will do well to recollect that the very word
virtue, in Itself, originally signifies courage and
hardihood. When the Roman spoke of virtue
he means that sum of qualities that we charac
terize as manliness.
I emphatically believe in peace and all the kin
dred virtues. (Applause.) But I think that they
are only worth having If they come as a conse
quence of possessing the combined virtue oJ
courage and hardihood. So I feel that In an age
which naturally and properly excels, as It should
excel, in the milder and softei qualities, there
Is need that we should not forget that in tho
last analysis the safe basis of a successful na
tional character must rest upon the great fight
ing virtues, and those great fighting virtues can
be shown quite as well in peace as in war.
They can be shown In the work of the philan
thropist. In the work of the scientist, and. most
emphatically of all, in the work of the explorer,
who (hew and overcomes perils and hardship*
which the average soldier never in his life
knows. In war. after all. It Is only the man. at
the very head who is ever lonely. All the others,
from the subordinate generals down through the
privates, are cheered and sustained by the MOM
of companionship and by the sense of divided re
sponsibility.
You (turning to Commander Peary), the man
whom we Join to honor to-night, you. who for
months In and months out. year in and year out.
had to face perils and overcome the greatest
risks and difficulties, with resting on your
shoulder* the undivided responsibility which
meant life or death to you and your followers —
you had to show in addition what the modern
commander with his great responsibility do?-»
not have to show. You had to show all thu
moral qualities in war. together with other
qualities. You did a great deed, a deed that
counted for all mankind, a d*»<l which reacted
credit upon you and upon- your country, and
on behalf of those present, and speaking also
for the millions of your countrymen. I take
pleasure in handing you this Hubbard Medal,
and in welcoming you home from tho great feat
which you hnv<? performed. Commander Peary.
(Prolonged applause.)
In his response Commander Peary referred to
the feats of Abruzzi and others, and said that
he had the most unbounded admiration and re
spect for thos« who devoted their time, their
abilities and their money to adding to the sum
of human knowledge.
"ALL IS NOT GOLD.
Nor Is It All Marble in the Hall
of Records.
It had been hoped that all the blunders made in
the construction and fitting up of the costly Hall
of Records had come to light— they have not
been few. But it seems that some of them were
left to be disclosed after the building had been oc
cupied.
Those who had cherished the Idea that after all
the Hall of Records was a monument of granite
and marble that would be an example of what a
public building should be— if not of the manner In
which it should be built— been astonished and
shocked to ilnd that much of the dignity of the
halls has been spoiled by the substitution of a
plaster composition for marble in the decorations
above the windows and doors. •
This is said to be a result of the unfortunate
difference of opinion as to the money- to be spent
in cons i ruction by the various administrations that
have had a hand In the building, originally planned
in the term of Mayor Strong, nearly ten years ago.
The composition. it seems, was put In in accordance
with the final specifications, and does not represent
any attempt to make money at U.» expense of las
city.
This "bogus marble"— for the construction 1*
made to represent marble, and is calculated to i>
ceive a casual observer— l 3 above the doors and
windows In the corridors on all the floors above Mm
second. It appears in the form of tablet* or panels,
more or le*B elaborate In design, to represent
caned marble. Placed, as they in a_* the com
pletion of a marble scheme, they detract to a
marked degree from the architecture and arouse a
feeling of disgust.
The original plans of John R. Thomas called for
marble throughout in the trim of the halls. Mayor
Van Wyck thought the J2.500.000 estimate for the
finishing and equipment was too much, and or
dered It cut down. The plans were revised then
by the substitution of the composition for marble
in many places. When Mayor Low took up the
problem of the Hall of Records he had the con
tract, which had already been let, changed so as
to take out the substitution for marble In some
parts of the building, but not throughout.
In passing through • the corridor a casual ob
server would not notice the imitation, but a good
look at the decorations shows them up In all their
r»>e<t pries* and lnapproprlaten^ss. Thomas Riley.
who has been the inspector from the office of the

says these decorations are known as "plaster ■en
richments," but those who have seen them declare
that "plaster detractions" would-be a better name
BAILEY BORROWED MTJCH.
Says He Got Hundreds of Thousands from
H. Clay Pierce.
San Antonio, Tex.. Dec 15-S«nutor Joseph W.
Bailey, in an Interview to-day, said relative to th«
statement that he had borrowed meney fmm H
Clay i'terct, president of the Wa'.er-Plerce Oil
Company, that in so doing he had never considered
that it was anything that the people of T«xas
would object to. He said:
Why I have borrowed hundreds of thousands of
dollars from Mr. Pierce, and I told the people time
and time again wb*>n the Tennessee bankruptcy
cases were talked about that I not only had th*
r transaction, but many others, with Mr. Pierce. •
I once went to him to borrow $155,000. I knew of
Home securities I could buy by which I could make
a few thousand dollars. Mr. Pierce told me then
that he did not hove that amount of money, at
hand but went to a bank and went my security.
I paid the money back to Mr. Pierce and 1 made
several thousand dollars In the deal.
The Aton y Oeneral s office did not need to go
to the records of Mr. Piercers office to know that I
bad borrowed money fr.>.a him. I could have told
them that. The voucher printed by the Attorney
General showing I have received money from H. C.
Pierce to the amount of $1,500 relates to a sura that
I borrowed when I wanted -to buy a horse.
