M.’’ apologizes tor forestalling the Board of Education in a reply toa ‘so grave and important matter,” and assures your rondera that after ‘mature deliberation” he or she (see the diffi- culty of handling pronouns when anonymous corre- spondents are referred to) has arrived at the conciu- sion that the lottery system employed by the teachers of our public schools in the disposal of medals to pupils ts not at all synonymous with terms indicative of games of chance, butis “the most. equitable andim- partial course that could bo pursued by the teacher under the circumstances. ” Your corresponaent objects to my phraseology, which he or she (uote again the dilemma) terms “rather strong language,”’ and qualifies the same as “vitaperous and even malicious.” I certainly ac- knowledge having been vituperative tn the sense of “the uttering or writing of censure,” but 1 Jail w dis cover wherein | have been ‘mulicious’’ 1 have simply, through the medium of your excellent ‘Com. plaint Book,’’ called the uttention of the public and of the Board of Education to a lottery system practised in our public schools whereby little children win meduls by means of a game of chance. In the words of Voltaire, ‘\J’appelle un chat, un chat.” Your cor- respondent makes himself or herself (oh! ye anony- mous writers!) the apologist of the lottery scheme as practised in our ecbools, and I oppose it. We have here two conflicting opiuions on this “gravo and important matter’’—en attendant, tho opinion of THE the Board of Eaucation, which eventually, let us hope, may find n vehicle of expression. I beg’ leave to callin au umpire, Mr. Noah Webster recognized uuthority, Who, in the first edition of his Dictionary, uhought fit to append to ts definition of the word ‘qotlery’? an expression of opinion of tae same. Detiui- tion and opinion read us follows ;— ‘sLottery—A scheme for the distribution of prizes by chanco or the distribution itself. “Lotteries are often authorized by law, but many men deem tnem immoral in principle, aud almost ail men concur in the opinion that their offects are per- nictous.’? In answer to the suggestion of your correspondent that [ shouid toform the public what rule should guide the teacher in her distribution of medals, | have but to propose that which has no doubt already sug. gested itself to all rational persons who have given the question a thought, Let the Board of Education pro- vide a sufficient number of medals for ull deserving puptis (exgh medal costs but a few cents), or It they cannot afford this outlay let them abolish’ the medal system altogether. At allevents lot them abolish the lottery system, “G. A, M.’? tothe eontrary notwith- standing. 3. POZNANSKI. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE GAMBLING QUESTION. To Taf Epitok or THE HERALD:— In reading your valuable paper of last Sunday I notice your generosity im giving considerable space to an article of very little consequence, entitled “Gam- bling Taught in Uur Public Schools,” 1 read again an answer to aforesaid article, and encouraged by the attention given to so unimportant and exaggerated a letter as Mr. Poznanski’s, I beg leave to criticise most shameful and more important way of gambling, which {8 practised on board Jarge and especiaily French steamers during their voyages. I sympathize strongiy with the feélings of the victims of such gam- Diing, the wives and children, whose misfortune tt would be uniair here to describe, as it would take more thun the space you so kindly allow to your “Complaint Book.”? Gambling should be stopped on the steamships. A FOREIGN LADY. THE STEAMSHIP ‘CITY OF BRUSSELS, The steamship City of Brussels, of the Inman line, sailed trom this port on Saturday, April 21, and has not yet arrived at Queenstown, Many theories are advanced as to the cause of her detention, but the most probable is that the machinery has broken down. ‘The folowing steamships, all of which bave arrived eately, sailed on the same day as the City of Brussels: — Germanic, arrived April 30; tho Spain, Main and Ethiopia, arrived May 2, and the Hecla, from Bos- ton, arrived on the 3d. Her last voyage to New York the Cliy of Brussels accomplished in eight and | one hall days. The theory that she is fast in tbe ice is | not believed by steamship people, because the Yeado, from Hall, which arrived on Friday, was the first steamship to bring news of ice | | on board of the missing steamship aro the | Capadian pilgrims to Rome, and thelr friends | are considerably agitated over the matter, About ! noon yesterday ao despatch was received trom | Queenstown, stating that a vessel had | sighted by the which arrived that morning, The vessel wa: on May 3, im lautade 61 deg. north, tude 16 deg. west, and eared to three-masteda steam: It proceeding | ward siowly under steam and showed no signi was currently believed bere last evening that she was the City of Brussel ‘Tne agents of the company in this city believe the missing vessel’s machinery’ has | become disabied, and that she will be heard from to- day. A YOUNG GIRL'S REWARD, Money and clothing valued at $117 were stolen from Mrs. Catharine Cornell, of No, 236 East Twenty-ninth street, on tho 1st inst., during her absence. Tillie McNeill, a young girl living next door, told the police of the Twenty-first precinct that on the 1st of May John McCann asked her to pawn some clothing for himn, and she det so upon surance that 1 was bi property and that “it was all mght.”’ Yesterday Me: Cann and Witham Metleary were arraigned at tne | Filty-seventh Street Court, charged with having stolen the money and gouds, They both denied the truth of ‘the charge and ciaimed that they nad found the arti. cles. They were held tn $2,000 each, Tho gir! Mc- Neill was gent tothe House of Detention, she cried vitterly when she learned bow she was to bo treated for doing her auty, A MYSTERIOUS ABDUCTION. PARALLEL TO THE CHARLEY ROSS CASE—TH! * POLICE OF NEW YORK, BROOKLYN, PHILADEL- PHIA AND NEWARK ON THE SEARCH. The City of Brotherly Love bas again been lifted into an unenviable notoriety by the abduction of a young girl trom her bome by two vagrant females whe had sought a temporary lodging with the child’s grand- mother, no doubt with the vile purpoSe already formed. The grandmother arrived in New Yerk yes- terday ip her search for her child, and in conversation with tbe Superintendents of Police of this etty and Brooklyn toid ber pitiful story substantially as fol. lows:— Un Weinesday, April 11, the Fourth ward of Phila delphia was excited to the ultermost degree by the ab- duction, which bore many features of strong resem- blance to the never-to-be-forgotien case of Charley Ross. Mrs, Ann White, the grandmother referred to, and who ts about sixty or seventy years of age, lived at No, 630 Charles street, with her little granddaughter, Mary Masterron, aged seven. She had a vacant room in the house, and wishing to let it placed a notice to that eflect on the street door, About two weeks be- Jore the abduction a woman calling herself Fannie Brown, avout fifty years old, apparently, called on Mra. White ana manifested a desire to hire the room, say- ing also that she expected her sister, who was em. ployed in a rag store in Seventh street, Philadelphia, to share the room with her if Mrs, White was willing, THE TIGRESS IN THR FOLD, The new lodger entered the room and took posses- sion aud employed ber time iu making and selling perforated card work. The expected sister did not ar- rive, buton the evening of AprilS a woman, whose name was subsequently ascertained to be Mary Emer- son, called ou Fannie Brown and was received, but her appearance not being satistactory to Mra White sho relused an offer of fifteen cents fora night’s lodging, notwithstanding the lodger interceded for her {riend. Mary Emerson then went away, but Mrs. White had ovservad that both of the women took particular no. tice of and interest im the young chtidren, Mary Mas- tersou and her younger brothor, These two children and one other boy were bora of Patrick Masterson and his wife, who was the daughter of Mrs, White, The mother is pow «ead, and the father, Patrick, resides in Conshohocken with the other voy. Mary attended the public school on Fitth street, below Monroe, After she came home from schoolon the day before the ubduction she told ber grandmother that the two women, Fannio Brown anc Mery Emerson, bad met her in tho market house, at Charles aud Bainbridge streets, and offered her candy und cakes, and asked her to go with thein in the horse curs, Mrs White, remembering the fate of Charley Ross, became alarmed and told the litte girl to keep away {rom them or else they would steal her and sell her toa doctor, That night Fannie Brown did not re- turn to her lodging. ‘The uext day tue little girl did not come home to dinner, as Was her habit, This alarmed SMrs. White aud shé went out in seurch of her. Going to the school she found that her granddaughter was not thore, but was told by some of the scholars that they nad scen her going away with Fuunie Brown about noon time, Mrs. White bastened to send word to the futher, and together they sought for several days in the low ree sorts of the city, but could find no clew to guide them, CAPTURE OF ONE OF THE AUDUCTORS. Several days ago, the woman, Mury /merson, was arrested 1» Philadelphia on the ground of being an. accomplice, and is Suill in custody. Mrs, White heard, from some source, that Fannie Brown had a broth living in Newark, N. J., aed yesterday moraing she started trom Philadelphia, in order to place the case in the hands of detectives hore. Immediately upon her arrival in New York she went to Superintendent W: ing and tcld htm the entire circumstances, The Supe! intendent placed the matter in the bunds of a detec- live, and, boaring from Mrs, White that she hada brother liviog in Brooklyn, sent her under the pro- tection of an officer to that city, where Chic! of Police Campbell placed the matter in bis detectives! charge and sent Mrs. White to ber brother’s residence, Chiet Campbell stated yesterday that he bad not the slightest clew to work upon and had no reason to believe that tho woman Fannie Brown had come to Brooklyn atall, Nevertheless he would do everything iu his power and had already placed the case in his de- tective’s hands. He also had communicated with John Mills, Chiet of Police of Newark, N. J., where Fannie Brown's brother 1s said to live. ’ Mrs, White describes the woman Brown as about fifty years old, of medium height, wrinkled in face, with an abandance of brown hair and wore at tne time she left Mrs. Woite’s house an old knitted hood and a dingy waterproof cloak, The woman Emerson would give very little informa tion concerning her companion, but after a great deal of questioning suid that Fannie Brown a week or so previous to the abduction communicated to her a plan by which she could gain enough monev to carry her to Utah, where a supposed Mr, Brown, her husband, resided. A DIAWOLICAL INTENTION. This plan was to hire the younger boy Tommy, Mary Mustersou’s brother, and send him around begging... ‘The Philadelphia police do not beteve tnat the woman Brown 18 married a} all, and they shink that Mary Em- ergon’s story about Utah 1s merely a blind to throw suspicion in the wrong direction, ‘They say that the woman Brown lived principally by bogging, and they suspect that she has been making a practice of hiring children anu making them beg tor her, The abducted child was very dear to her grandmother, and the old lady ts nearly “broken down with grief. She bas given a description of the little girl to the police of this city and Brooklya. She is about seven years old, bas long dark brown hair falling straight over ner shoulders, light brown eyes, and wore when she disappeared a brown calico dress of alarge pattern. She had no bat. The buir may have since beep cut off and the dress changed. Mrs, White aiso left pictures of the girl with the Superintendents of both cities. 10 thi pictures she is represented as having a frightened or nervous look, but as the photograph was evidently taken trom a daguerreotype or ambrotype this right. eved expression may not bo natural, Altbough Mrs. White only arrived in this city yester- day with full details of the story, yet the police of the two cities have known ot it for a'week or more, Chief Campbell, in a previous correspondence with Chief Mills, of Newark, received from that officer the prom- ise that Faunio Brown’s brother, it found, should be sent to Brooklyn and held for purposes which are n06 revealed. MR. DALY STILL MISSING Upto a late hour last evening nothing had been heard of Mr. J. ‘I. Daly, the owner of the Windsor Hotel, in Fitth avenue. Inquiries at the hotel and at jus house in Forty-seventh street elicited the answer,- “Not a word,” and also the information that there was no clow whatever to bis whereabouts. Diligent and persistent eflorts are still being made by tho police to trace Mr, Daly, but up to date they have not been successiul, BROKERS’ COMMISSIONS. The Governing Commitiee of the Stock Exchange, at.a special meeting, held after business hours on Friday last, decided to raise the rate of commission from one-sixteenth to one-eighth of one per cent, aud communicated this determination yesterday afternoon to the members ot the Exchange, The announce- ment would seein to have met with considerable op- position, and a muss mecting of tho members was called at three o'clock to discuss the proposed ud- vance. One broker, with whom the HzRaLp re- porter conversed atter the meeting, said that only 160 meinbers Were present at the mass meeting, and alter some informal discussion these decided to adjourn the further consideration of the question until next Tuesday atteraoon. Another said that a resolution disapprov.ng of the Governing Committee’s action was offered and [ost by a vote of 77 to18, The latter geu- tleman further stuted that the recent lowering of rates Was in opposition measure invoked against the open board, and that 18 operation, while no beneflt to the strect, was disadvantageous to most of the larger firms. The impression seems to prevail that an ar- rangement should be made by which commissions should be regulated according to the nature of tho transaction.
