' ' On Thursday night, Feb. 23rd, Ger mania H ah ria l simply ablaze with beautiful wonien, pretty girla and in cidentally, of course, the usual Buck inghams and Chesterfields to whom an evening w ith Terpsichore ever mearts a few hours pf bliss,, esctatic\ and poetic. The occasion was the entertainment and dance given by the New Rochelle Tennis Cluh. The hall was one mass of flora and palms, while here and there most tastefully arranged were the Club colors and banners w o n at various times, Strikingly rich and exquisite gowns combining w ith'a profusion of shim mering jewels, worn by charming matron and seductive “damoiselle,” gave to. the occasion a coloring ex tremely rich in tone and quality. Entertainment of Exceptional Merit. The program of the entertainment which preceded the dance was o f ex ceptional merit, To piano accom paniment by Mr, Guy Clark— In a rich, clear and true soprano, the ten der love sentiments o f Mrs. Kenneth Clarks selections, were rendered without effort and in a manner aweet- ly expressive of that artistes charm ing personality. Mrs. Clark’s singing was undeniab ly the artistic feature of the evening. Messrs. fidwin C. Walch, Clarence Rowe. Kenneth Clark and A. K . Tay lor, in a guitar and thandolin recital were a \revelation” in the! manipula tion o f their stringed instruments. Never along the Grand Canal have “Signorine\ listened to sweeter melody from Troubgdor Lovers, than that dispensed -by this quartette o f artists. Mr. W alch in his vocal rendition o f “Sugar Moon” in whleh he w a s a t intervals assisted by the rest o t the quartette was at his best in this par ticular line of coon dialogue and song. An encore enabled him to describe “accompanied hy Jri* fellow artists” the woes of a gay Lothario w h o be- cans* aaamared of a Married French. Lady, that “jollied him on” until the arrival home of “Monsieur,” wbp without asking any unnecessary que- sions threw the love sick swain out o f a third story window and adown a forty foot air shaft. Messrs Bert Baker, A. K, Taylor, C. Coles Phillips and W . B. W eston, known to their friends and announced on the card as The Full Quart Quar tette, made m erry in song and medley to the rapturous and enthusiastic de light o f their audience, Mr. W illiam Judson Clark, humor ist and monologuift is undoubtedly the greatest droll story teller on this or any other continent. His presence and personality are those of culture and natural retirement; his faculty for recitation and impersonation must be a natural gift and the wonderful con trol of self that h e ever maintains. H is description o f \The Fire at Nolans’* Was perhaps one of the best efforts o f . his life and his graphic portrayal o f the \Google-eyed servants” just sparkled with humor. ' “ Placing a Hit” Seorei A skit '‘Placing a H it” iwas Suggest ed to the authors, Geo. W. Sutton, Jr., and William J. Mullen, by their actual experience in endeavoring to con vince New Y o r k vaudeville managers that the future o f the theatrical busi ness depended on the purchase o f their compositions. Frank L. Stewart, In the role of a grouchy publisher opened the act, seated at a desk in his office— He hadn’t sold any of his \stuff” in six months, there was not the price o f a \beef stew” in the box and just a s he was about to go out to get \pickled in walked Sutton and Mul len in their respective parts. They had called to sell a song and the man ner in which they approached the publisher w a s in strict keeping with the part they were playing. After most humble apoligics for intruding into the publishers busy life and after having been informed with a snare and growl that their stuff must b e “rotten” thcy were finally permitted to \go on.” With Mullen a t the piano, Sutton Sang the song he had for sale, While Stewart at his desk was looking Ior something to lmrl at him. Sutton was exceedingly clever and funny and when Mullen was a l lowed to show what he could do in the instrumental line he “tore off” in rag time order a composition of his own that bespoke in every detail his genius in composition. In the matter of Imperial tough ness, no publisher in the neighbor hood of-W est 28th street has anything on Frank Stewart. The closing act of the entertain ment was another sketch by the same composers entitled \Paying His Dues.” The characters represented were those o f GeO. B. Leech, treasurer -of the New Rochelle Tennis Club, b y himself and that of Jack Rounder a dub member by Mr, Frederick Brad ley. Jr. Mr. Mullen presided at the Piano While Leech and Bradley went through dialogue and song in a truly Professional manner. Dancing which continued until the “vvc sma hours” followed the enter tainment. Music hy Bischoff, of M t. Vernon. A L E X A N D E R BR A D L E Y .

A gathering o f people from this city and surrounding towns filled the New Rochelle Theatre Sunday afternoon to listen t o a debate on “Should Non- Religious Instruction Be Continued in Our Public Schools?” between Rev. Dr. Thomas R , Slicer, o f All Souls’ Unitarian Church, New York, and Dr, James J. Walsh, Dean o f the Medical School pf Fordham Univer sity, at the closing session o f the People's Forum o f New Rochelle. Judge Isaac N, Mills presided. Judge M ills sketched the history of the People’s Forum, established .and maintained by Judge Martin J. Keogh, from its beginning, when it was at tended by twenty o r fifty people, to the present time, when hundreds are turned away for lack of room. \In all the country there is no plat form from which more eminent speakers have spoken than that of the People’s Forum o f New Rocheiie,” he' said. D r , Slicer, who had the affirmative, held that it is the business p f the State to educate its children so as to prepare them for their place in the State, and that the teaching of relig ion is not a part of such education. “I f I were to propose a code of re ligion in the public schools,” said Mr. Slicer, “I should start with ethics and should make the Old Testament part of a course in English literature, but should not make it obligatory. I should teach immigrant children not only the definitions of their liberty, hut the limitations o f their liberty.” D r . Walsh held that the State does not educate the children properly for citizenship. H e said the schools of the United States without religious instruction are educating more chil dren than those Of any other country, and there are m ore crimes by violence in the United States than in any other country. A reason for this, he said, is that moral instruction is not a fea ture in the public schools. H e aaid there should b e such relig ious teaching in the schools as would make the citizen realize a sense of duty to his neighbor. “I f we continue non-religious in struction in our schools,” declared Dr. W alsh, \ I can see that the end is not far off.” Winers at La RodsHe Eadire The annuat euchre of L a Rochelle Chapter, Order o f the Eastern Star, was held in M asonic Temple on Fri day evening o f last week.

FO R T H E COM ING SEASON W H IC H W I L L M A K E AN A U S P IC IO U S STA R T .— S H O O T IN G SCO RES. The usual contests were held at the traps of the New Rochelle Yacht Club on Washington’s Birthday. The con ditions were difficult and low scores prevailed. Messrs, Qranbery and Marsland tieitig with sixteen out of a possible twenty-five each. On Sunday morning, February 26th, the contestants were Messrs, Gran- bery, Stpddard, Smith, Marsland and Krauss, the best scores being those made by Messrs, Stoddard and Gran- bery with seventeen each out of a possible twenty-five. Four rounds of twenty-five birds each were shot at, and Mr. Stoddard with a handicap of four, won three o f these rounds, Mr, Granbery winning the other. Much enthusiasm is manifested by the members of the club and. notwith standing thc cold weather still pre vailing, some thirty members were gathered at the winter quarters of the cluh on Harrison Island last Sun day. Messrs. Herman Wennemcr and Charles F. Nield, of New York, and Mr. P. C. Preiffer, of New Rochelle, have applied for membership and when admitted w ill make a total en rollment of 251, including honorary and life members. The season will start with about fifteen* hundred dol lars cash in the treasury. C. A . Marsland has purchased the ketch “ Guardia” from Mr. Daniel Bacon. A Bigger and Better tiudsoe Park Beach Filled In and Nearly an Acre of Land is Reclaimed. Visitors to Hudson Park during the coming summer will undoubtedly be surprised to find that popular spot bigger and better than ever before and to give even more satisfaction, the work of improvements, while car ried on at comparatively sm all cost, gives to the city a reclaimed area of nearly an acre of ground. The re-ciaimea land lies between the New Rochelle Rowing Club and the Y , M. C A. boat house. The area runs 170 feet out from the original shore line and is 81 feet wide in one spot. Behind the Y. M . C. A. boat house, it is considerably wider than that. The sea wall is 13.5 feet high. The new ground is filled in with pieces of rock, weighing a ton or more, and blasted from the bluff opposite the freight house which is being removed to make more room for traffic at that point. Other layers o f rock wiil be topped by dirt and then will come ma cadam, making the re-claimed land as substantial and useful as any part ot the park. The cost o f the work will be about $5,000. After the macada mizing a stone coping will be placed around the top o i the wall, surmount ed by an iron fence. The idea was Councilman John H. Troy’s. Supt. o f Streets John H e t tinger is looking after the work, in which he takes great pride. The re moval of the rocky bluff opposite the freight house, which limited the drive way, will afford a plaza some 100 jcet wide. The rock is being removed to an average width of 38 feet, giving nearly that much added space. Local Banters Attend a Dinner The first annual dinner of the W est chester County Bankers’ Association was held at Delmonico’s, New Y o rk City, on Monday evening, and was very successful. About 150 attended. Those present from New Rochelle were: National City Bank— H enry M. Lester, George F , Flandreaux, Robert R. Rennie, Charles Pryer, John F. Lambden, A. L . Hammett, John A.

O B J E C T T O ASSESSM E N T S . A number of property owners of New Rochele have obtained writs of certiorari from Supreme Court Judges Keogh and Morschauser to review as sessments, said to bo excessive on property in this city. Most o f the pe titioners assert that the assessments are too high and should be reduced in accordance with the assessment fixed in 1910, Thc writs of certiorari have been obtained against the tax commissioner o f assessment, and it is the general custom to appoint a ref eree to hear testimony in the differ ent motions. Among those who are fighting their assessments is John G. Agar, of Pre mium Point. H e is assessed $144,- 660, and he says this amount should be $ 100 , 000 . The Tax Bate Will Be $24,989 The Pioneer is fortified in announc ing that the tax rate fo r the year will bc $24,989 per thousand dollars assess ment, making thc rate the lowest in years. The 1911 budget totals $885.- 590 and the adoption of the assess ment roll makes clear the way of fix ing the tax rate. - T h e Federation is looking forward to a very prosperous year in accom plishing the work it has planned. The officers elected for the year 1911 are President, Mrs. E . W . Kemble; first vice-president, Mrs, C, W. Barnes second vice-president, Mrs, R. Lath ers;- recording secretary, Mrs. II. L. M oore; corresponding secretary, Mrs. C. L. Birdsell; treasurer, Mrs. W. B. Harding, Over a hundred women were pres ent at the open meeting, representing members from the various women’s clubs of our city. Mayor Colwell made the opening address. He urged the women to help atir up an inter est in civic affairs, especially in secur ing a new library; that New Rochelle lacked' civic pride, for the reason that most of the men go to New Y o rk City dqily and -take little interest in local affairs. The men prefer to pay a higher tax to being bothered. New Rochelle stands third in the State for increase in population, our water sys tem is excellent, having now as much water as before the drouth. W e have acquired a fine park this year and have a city garden. This we wore enabled to do because the city owned the property; it would be diverting the funds ' o f the city to spend it on the Guild’s gardep; the play ground at Washington and W ebster avenues is under the super vision of c ity officials who can expend thc city funds. Federation Born for a Purpose. Mrs. Radford P itt said the Feder ation was born for a purpose. The Organized Charities appealed for help, and the women o f the Fed eration decided to meet this need by offering to raise a certain sum. W e made the O rganized Charities feel that a woman was the best one t o be employed, and fo r three years we have paid $300.00 annually toward her salary. W e work for the mental, mor al and physical welfare of New R o chelle. The special accomplishment has been appointed o f the Municipal Art Commission. -TOttfiMunicipal Art Commission of N e w Rochelle consists of the Mayor, two artists, one lawyer, one architect and one business man. The first action on which the Com mission passed judgment was on a model bust of (Columbus, presented by the Italian citizens of New Ro chelle. T h c bust of Columbus was so thoroughly artistic that the Commis sion readily passed favorably upon it. Mrs. R. Lathers reported that in thc Needlework Guild there were 27 directors and that in December they distributed 1231 new garments to four charities in New Rochelle. Mrs. Pitt, as chairman of the Flower Guild, reported 6,000 bouquets to New York hospitals, 124 glasses of jelly to New Rocheiie Hospital, Day Nursery and different institutions in N e w Rocheiie, 125 plants sent to New Y o r k for school gardens, 3 baskets o f fruit; nature material to the pub lic schools. Mis* Sweeney’s W ork. Miss Sweeney, worker for The Or ganized Charities, has had 354 cases calling for relief and investigation. Miss Sweeney made a special plea for social centers in some localities for recreation and where women could learn the household arts. Mrs. Edward Gay spoke most inter estingly on the Women and Children o f Italy. Mrs, Barclay Dunham talked on music, and then illustrated by song the work being done in the public schools in New York and Brooklyn. She said her work was most inspir ing <on account of thc wonderful cheer music brings, and some knowl edge of it, into the hearts of the recipients. Miss Helen Woodford spoke most ably on schools of phil- anthrophy; she told of new recruits in the work, that the school in New Y o r k had as many pupils as it possi bly could accommodate. Miss Ellen Eddy Shaw advocated having gardens and playgrounds com bined, to give the playground a set ting, and cited such a playground in Pittsburg. Miss Shay quoted Hamil ton Mabie in an address at the \Child W elfare Exhibit” that \all a parent owed its children was love and edu cation.” Outlines School Betterment. Professor Leonard, after stating the improvements made during the past year in our schools, made a special plea for social centers. H e thought the Public School should be thrown open evenings for use o f the commu nity. He said thc past school year has seen manual training, bench work, introduced down through thc fifth year. Instructions to the janitors, the windows to be open wide in thc class rooms twice daily. Doctor Leon ard said we need to teach domestic science to our girls that they m ay un derstand economical and good food, and about the necessity for clean milk for children, so that we m ay not have so many children die in their first year. '' Mr. Marshall spoke also most feel ingly about social centers in New Rochelle; said he should like to build a “Seltlemeht House” On the church ground to carry on this work A N N A S.

WOMEN HEAR VIVID STORY O F T H E T R I A L S A N D T R I B U L A T I O N S O F EN G L ISH SU F F R A G E T T E S , P O R T R A Y E D IN A G R A P H IC S T Y L E B Y M ISS S Y L V I A PA N K H U R S T . Imagine a slip of a girl, with fair hair parted on a childish forehead, and something o f the immaturity of a child in the consequences of her gestures telling in a silvery English voice, a little dimmed by a most American cold, a pony story of persistent femi nine courage, brutal handling and im- prisqnment. The whole told very simply without resentment o r bravado and you will have Miss Sylvia Pank- hurst who. spoke before the Equal Franchise League at the home of Mrs. Leigh French, the president, on M onday night. To those listening her story was a deeply impressive one of hardships cheerfully borne for a very definite end, and an ardent conviction in the worth o f a cause. Miss Pankhurst is not only an apostle for woman suf- fracc. She is, despite her youth a practical politician and she gave in her talk an instructive lesson on Eng lish politics. “The reason why we have made so little headway hitherto” said Miss Pankhurst, \is that woman suffrage has so many friends in both the liberal and conservative parties and. since politics is a game in which a chief object is to score over an op ponent neither party is a gainer in furthering our cause.” Later in her address M iss Pank hurst told of thc treatment accorded to the two women delegates who ap peared before Sir Edward Gray at the reorganization of the Liberal party to ask their question of him as to the attitude of the liberal party— would it give the suffragists a hearing? O f ail the questions insistently hurl ed at him from all parts of thc hall by hundreds of delegates, this one alone h e refused to answer or recognize and gave as his reasons afterwards. “ Woman suffrage is not a question of practical politics and I did not think a reply necessary,” The delegates who have always based their right to a hearing on the old constitutional law which reads that a subject shall have at all times the right to present a petition to the sovereign (or his prime minister) and shall not suffer punishment or imprisonment by reason of such appeal— were excluded from thc hail by violence, kicked, beaten and afterwards imprisoned. Engliih Suffragette’s Methods. Miss Pankhurst tried to explain some o f the seasons for thc methods which thc English “ Suffragettes” have employed which have so puzzled many Americans. The fight for the suffrage, she said, has been a fight against un fair discriminations against women. Thc English law which does not re cognize the mother as the legal parent o f her child, or custodian o f her chil dren; which denies to a wife any claim for maintainancc while residing in her husband’s house. The industrial inequality o f wages for the joint work o f men and women. The payment in industries of a higher wage to un skilled men workers than to the skill ed women workers. She gave some appalling facts and cited many figures as illustrations. These injustices, legal and economic, arc what the suffragists arc trying to reach by means of the ballot. After twenty-five years of appeals to government and the presentation o f suffrage bills some of the younger generation began to ask: “H o w do men get thc vote?” How have the men o f England who formerly had no franchise obtained it? W ith the answer tb that last question began the “ Suffragette.” She pointed out that every advance in suffrage in Eng land has been accomplished by vio lence— witness the riots o f 1832, the reform act o f 1867 and the Birming ham riots of ’82. In opposing what thcy thought an encroachment on their liberties the English women were simply following tradition. So, too, the breaking of windows for which they have been so severely censured on both sides of the Atlantic. Few have realized that in England the time honored way o f showing public disapproval on political contempt has been— to break windows— a sacred British tradition. The novelty of it is merely its adoption by women, and their insist ent putting of the question of votes for women at public meetings and in sistence upon an answer. This also is custom, said Miss Pankhurst, even during the speeches of cabinet minis ters and members o f Parliament and the speakers always answer the ques tion— if the questioners are men. Tells of Suffering and Indignities. Miss Pankhurst gave a detailed ac count of the subsequent efforts *of the Suffragettes” to obtain a hearing o f tlicir legal battles for their constitu tional rights, of their treatment by officials under orders and o f their sufferings and the indignities to which thcy were subjected in imprisonment as prisoners o f the 3rd class afttong thc lowest and most degraded crimin als.

The honors were carried off by Opsann and Doering winning their three scries and at the same time re warding the “bunch” o f Relief rooters for their past performances in “root ing” for their favorite team. Rabe and West won two of their series, while Grab and Schultz (Schultz sub stituting for Steinbugler) lost two and Voiand and J. Doering lost all three. West-Rabe to jk thc first game of the evening rather easily from Vo- land-Docring. West, with two splits, pulled out a nice game with a “quad” at the finish for 201; Rabe had one split and one miss J. Doering hit into three splits and also two errors; Voiand had three errors. Grab-Scliultz defeated Doering- Voiand by 50 pins. The former both rolled good, having one split each— no errors. Doering-Voland could not cover their spares, Doering missing two and Voiand five. W est and Rabe were lucky to get away with the Grab-Schultz game. The latter team did not make an error, but ran into four difficult splits, only one of which was “solved.\ W est and Rabe each liad one split and one error; W est making his split, and finishing with a “ double” winning the game. Opsann and Doering then won a close game from Grab-Schultz by ten pins, splits again being the cause. Op sann with tn;o “doubles” an error and a split totaled 191, which was tied by Schultz, who had two splits, one of which he made. Doering with one error rolled out 179, but Grab could not \slide >t over” on two wide splits and finished ten pins behind Doering. Opsann and Doering were con sidered fortunate the previous game on account of their opponents running into splits, but that was nothing com pared to this game for they must have put thc “Indian Sign” on West and Rabe in their match, as West hit into four splits and Rabe ran into three in succession and naturally by that time it was \out of thc wood.\ Opsann, with two splits, finished with 195; Doering with one etror rolled 176. Opsann and F. Doering then pro ceeded to settle the “best team” ques tion of thc Relief Club by handing their elub-mates J. Doering and Vo- land a trimming. Opsann took care of one split out of three in this game, while his partner had two— no errors. J. Doering “blew” four times, while Voiand \blew” three and had one split. The Results.

Nordbruck and his wife $9,500 for a strip on North avenue at the corner of Garden street, sixteen feet deep. For this sum, Mr. Nord- buck has agreed to move the build ing, occupied by stores, back to the new house line, and give the city enough dirt to fill up thc hole left by the removal of the building. This purchase, it was explained by Councilman Davidson, is an important step toward the widening of North avenue, from Garden street to W inyah avenue. Corporation Counsel Har mer was accordingly authorized to purchase two strips of property at the rate of about $4 per square foot, so as to establish a value for the con demnation proceedings that are likely to be instituted by the city before all the land necessary for the improve ment is secured. For a narrower, hut longer, strip owned by the New Rochelle Security Company, near the new railroad, the city agrees to pay $5,000. Council man Davidson said it was figured that if the condemnation commission takes $4 per square foot as the basis of value, thc land necessary for the widening will cost the city about $60,000. Tuesday evening, March 21, was set as thc date for a public hearing on the proposed change in tlie area of as sessment for the North avenue widen ing. according to the provisions of law.
