ETHICAL SOCIETY TRIBUTE Impressive Memorial Services at the Carnegie Music HalL noxoK to ocrAvius b. frothixgham Address by Metm Sled man and Putnam, Justice) Barrett, and l'e-lix Atller His Cnreer mm Preacher. Memorial services la honor of the late Octavius B. Frothlngham wer held yesterday in Carnegie Music Hall under the auspices of the Society for Kthical Culture, of which he was a member. Invitations sent to the friends and patrons cf the society resulted in more than two thousand persons belog present.

The programme consisted in sinking by the members of the society and addresses by Kd-inunJ C. Siedmau. George Haven Putnam. Justice George C. Barrett, and Prof.

iLx Adler. In the opening address Mr. Stedmaa said: When the death of Mr. Frothlngham was announced I am sure that the emotions experienced by the individuals of this great auJlienee were somewhat of a peculiar nature. The thought that the ringing, vigorous voice of this great man, which seemed to have a never-dying resonance, should sever again be heard could, I am certain, scarcely be realised, yet he did not leave us before wcrk was done.

His Ufe was complete. Long before his death he had. by aid of his -will of iron and 2iU sense of confidence in hut righteous pur-tsose. attained lie end toward which ail his energies were directed. For majay years in New-York liberal freedom of speech from the pulpit was unknown.

The courage necessary to express one's self fearlessly from lb pulpit was hacking in every preacher, but when Mr. Frothlngham appeared upon the local scene of spiritual teaching he taught us a doctrine which all of us now Xeel to be proper that there is no lasting love without liberty During the twenty years of his toil principle. We sarw seated side by side constantly among his auditors the Hebrew and the Gentile. It was wonderful to see his strong, sine wy frame towering from the pulpit with the scholar's awkward grace, and to hear his voice, at first muffled, growing to clear, sonorous tones, with every sentence containing an epigram. It was like the rendition of one of Krnerson's essays with the except'on that be reached aa eloquence Emerson never knew.

"Mr. Frothlngham came here because Us field was the' world and he seemed to have found It in Against every Impediment he forged his way to the front, and, without relinquishing his original Intent, gathered about him a band of ardent adherents. He was eminently a Puritan. He was a Jonathan Edwards, and am sure if Jon athan Edwards hitd lived in his time he would have strikingly resembled Octavius Frothlngham. Whm he died he knew better than we did that his work was done.

He said that his was not as a crying in the wilderness. 13e knew that others would take up his work." It is sixteen years since." said Mr. Putnam. "Mr.1 Fiothirigham was last seen in active work in thiu community, hence the younger members iit it may not distinctly remember the great force of his character nor the principles bleb he advocated during Ills remarkable life. They have been heard to uk: What wan it that rendered this man no eminent and so 'beloved and venerated? The plain answer is, that it was his great peinouai qualities and his rare intellectual and moral force.

In 1M7, when, he began work as a preacher, the pc-ssibillty of freedom of thought expressed from the pulpit was faint. He knew no far. and whatever censure his Initial endeavors i ncurred they were nothing to the victories Ujey brought him later on. Vnllke most reformers, he was not fanatical nor tyrannical. He fully appreciated the doctrines of the'Uifterent creeds and with a t-unUdtrate, philanthropic motive pointed out the source of Vheir defects.

no argued from the basin of a historical knowledge of all faiths. lie possessed the power of analyzing without tne bitterness of antago-. nism. "He identified himself at once with the anti-siavery movement, and worked faith- zuiiy Willi iae x1 recuuicu association of this city. Such work was fully In line with hi natural qualities.

He associated with his intellectual and moral teachings the philosophy- of evolution. He advocated that the h-adical man went to the root of things as opposed to disquisitions that -were superficial. He stood up for the dlg-tXity of Intellect. He was consideration itself. He spoke of the untenable qualities of the Roman Catholic Church, but did it in such a way that the beat of Catholics could pot take offense.

He many times expressed his belief in the sincerity of some of those who opposed Christ, and even contended that tba-ir axguments were beneficial to Christianity, in that they prompted desirable refutations. His watchword was. the xuii appreciation of all that had gone before. 'The Influence of his thought has affected many orthodox pulpits. In speaking, he w3 thoroughly free from thought of himself, and only observed the effects of his words on the minds of his listeners.

In this way he arose to the highest scale of sJkjuence." Justice Barrett said: others have spoken of Mr. Frothlng-Uim'i life and character. I speak of as a parishioner. I first heard him in the old Fortieth Street Church. You may Imagine what a revelation ha was to me.

(accustomed as I was to the staid formality of tne pulpit orators of those times. His freshness of thought, his discernment in nnalyals. and his cogent philosophy, connected with hi fearlessness of speech, thrilled roe at once. He was powerfully Judicial. He under- I Stood his own arguments and overstated those of his opponents, and then, with eloquence almost unprecedented, drew his conclusions with a force that was astonishing and magnetic He was thought by some to be cold, but 1 can bear witness to the warmth of his heart.

He loved humanity In the concrete as well as in the abstract. He was a leader in all good and noble actions. He was the incarnation of human endeavor. When he expressed his determination to cease his work of reform I asked him why he had adopted such a course, and he an-- swered that he was the final attenuation of the old school, and that frof. Adler was to commence the new.

He knew the school would exist when the builder had passed away. 1 place my wreath on his tomb. It Is the wreath of In the concluding address. Prof. Adler aid: I do not Intend to make a character study of the life of Mr.

Frothlngham. To those to whom he is a mere name 1 wish to say what he has been what he has done. His life waa divided Into three periods, Unltarlanlam. transcendentalism, and scientific During the early decades of the present century there was a halcyon of happiness, owing to the republican liberty shortly attained. It was then that religious sentiment and belief was a -crossroad to almost every one.

The leading factors were liberalism and conservatism. At that time Mr. Frothlngham had been shortly graduated from the Divinity School at Salem. He met the crossroads, but at once decided on conservatism. la nature he was a conservative.

He possessed a radical Intellect; he waa a poet in Imagination and a Puritan In conscience. In his transcendental life he was Influenced by Theodore Parker. He believed in Parker as a man. Mr. Frothlngham was said by many to it an intellectual giant, and.

indeed, he was, but I think that his intellect was subordinate to his moral sense. In respect to tiis scientific life it can be said that he was tnanfuLy in sympathy with the new age and new ideas. He believed in man. and sought to unite the spiritual and natural life. He said: 'It la the social spirit and not the theological spirit upon which spiritual force depnds for its strength.

At the conclusion of the exercises Prof.

Adler announced that on next Sunday bis friend Mr. Salter would lecture ou Huxley, or, the Creed of Scientists." SOU EE SUNDAY IS SING SING Because of T. C. A. Services the Trustees Decided that Side Doors Hast Be Closed.

Sinq Siwo, N. Dec. 8. Special services werej held in nearly all the village cnurcnes to-dajv In the interest of young men, and particularly for the Young Men's Christian Association, which had been allowed to run to a jlow ebb through lack of interest In it by the peop. The speakers were all men Interested In association's work, to whom the various pastors surrendered their pulpits for the: day.

State Secretary George A. Hall addressed a large congregation at the morning service in the Baptist Church, and In the evening State; Secretary: Jchn F. Moore conducted the service, detailing the benefits a community derived from supporting an active Young Men's Christian Association. The Presbyterian Church's pulpit was filled in the morning by State Secretary Fred S. Goodman, who had a large and interested congregation.

In the evening the pastor, the Kev. J. A. Mc Williams, preached a powerful! sermon on the subject of the closing of the liquor saloons on Sunday. Dr.

Luclen Warner, Chairman of the State Executive Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, preached In the Highland Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church in the morning, and the evening service was led by General Secretary George A. Warburton of the Railroad Young Men's Christian Association of New-York. State Secretary George A. Hall spoke in the afternoon In Trinity Episcopal Church. Two interesting meetings were held In the afternoons-one for men In the Presbyterian Church, led by Fred S.

Goodman, and the others for women in the Baptist Church, led by John F. Moore. A strong effort was made to make this a dryi Sunday in this village. Chief of Police Carrigan had notified all the liquor sellers that they must lock up their side doors! to-day. in compliance with the orders of the Village Trustees.

This order was respected. No one was seen under the Influence of liquor, which was of itself something of a novelty. The Chief of Police and his assistants made the rounds of the saloons several times, but could find no Infraction of his Orders. CARDINAL G1BB03S OS CHARITY Telia the St. Viacest de Paul Society of the Three Methods of Relief.

Never before In its history has the St. Vincent de Paul Society had the pleasure of welcoming- so many honored prelates as were present last night in the cathedral parish school. In East Fiftieth Street, where the society held its regular quarterly meeting. On the platform were Cardinal Gibbons 1 of Baltimore, Archbishop Corrigan, Bishop-elect Farley, the Rev. M.

J. Lavelle, rector of the cathedral, and the Rev. Father Murphy of St. Francis Xaviers Church. Edward Fitzpatrick, President of the presided, i The meeting was begun with prayer by Cardinal Gibbons, and reading of the Bible by President Fitzpatrick.

Secretary Thomas M. Mulry then read a list of forty members Who had been admitted to the society during the last quarter. President Fitzpatrick welcomed the new members and instructed them in their visits to the: poor to look after the education of the children of the families they visited, and also to the spiritual welfare of both parents and children whom they were called upon to give relief. The Secretary read a comparative statement, which showed that for the quarter ending Sept. 3d, 1.SW5, the society had given relief to 764 families, had visited 5,08 families, and procured situations for persona The statement also set forth that the total receipts for the quarter were $4,788, and the total expenditures $3,215.

The balance in the treasury was stated to be S3.65U. There are ttl conferences in working order in New-York City, representing a membership of l.ltM After the reading jot these reports the President Introduced Cardinal GlDbons of Baltimore, who was received with applause. The said that occasions of this kind, where honest, sober, religious men were engaged in charitable work, cheered the hearts of the clergy to a degree which he felt incapable of expressing. He said there were three kinds of poor, God's poor, the devil's poor, and poor devils." and so there jwere three methods of relieving the three kinds of poor. The first method was of the secular institutions, the second was the individual charity, in which persons gave i money to undeserving persons wt.o squandered it, the third method, be said, waa that adopted by the Su incent as Paul Society, the best feature of which was to Investigate every case, called to their attention before administering their charity.

The Cardinal further said that the work done by the society was always done in a quiet (way: that the society's members never let the right hand know what the left was doing, that they were not applauded by the but that they will receive their reward 'hereafter. He told the members that each of them was his brother's keeper, that non of them ever approached nearer to God -than when bringing sunshine into the hearts and homes of the poor sorrowful. He concluded with his blessing to the society. Bishop-elect Farley, the Rev. Father Murphy, and the Rev.

Father Lavelle made brief addresses. LECTURES FOR THE PEOPLE Three Course a to be Given I'adcr the Auspices of Colombia College. i There will be a course of lectures delivered at the American.

CoMbluatloa Beat Features of Kra- trralty Hoeae, Clah, aa 'J Christian Association. Those Interested In religious work among college men are greatly encouraged by the success of the reception given Saturday evening by the members and patronesses of the Intercollegiate or Students Club, as It Is popularly known. The clubhouse, at Z29 Lexington Avenue, was thronged from 8 untfi 11 o'clock. Some were turned away for lack of space. Music was furnished by the University College Glee Club, Mr.

Bushnell. Mr. Charles Meehan. Miss Carter, Miss GUinore. Miss Wilcox, and Mine.

was first He spoke of German student life. The German university man gets nothing; of culture." he said. He gets all there' is of Intellectual training and yet lie la not much In advance of the American In that line. A gathering of such character and proportions as this one would be impossible among German students. We want our universities to advance, but we don't want them to become merely Intellectual.

They must give that broad culture that 'will fit a man for any position In America leads the world in such work is done by this association." William E. Dodge, the next speaker, said ho was a great lover of young men. He could talk -for hours and still have something: tOtjay to and for them. He had an old friend dine with him. and as he was about to excuse himself to come here he thought the students and friends would like to hear his guest.

So he would not give his "carefully prepared speech, but would Introduce that friend. Paul du ChalUu. Mr. du Chafllu wanted to be ranked as a student, even If he did not part his hair la the middle. His advice to the students he ould give in one sentence Doubt everything." He urged them to think for themselves.

That is what we have brains he said. He told the result or his doubting the traditions of the Anglo-Saxon race. The Rev. Abbott E. Klttredge.

D. urged the idea that the true student was always young. He should train the heart and not the head alone. Only by a godly life was real success secured. He assured the students who were strangers in the city: that the Christian people of New-York felt the deepest interest In them and were anxious to do what they could to make their stay In New-York pleasant.

The President of the club, R. McE. Schauffier of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in a graceful speech welcomed the friends and Introduced the speakers. The Secretary, E. Lawrence Hunt, has great faith in the success of the club.

In speaking of Its work, alma, possibilities, and needs, he said to a reporter for Thi New-YoaK Timks: Its purpose, in a single sentence, Ms to build up the kingdom of God in the many colleges and professional schools in New-York City, a work by students for students. It began work a few years ago in a very quiet way, and has steadily increased its influence. Last year it made signal progress. Branch organizations were effected in eight colleges in the city. This has carried the campaign right into each college, and intensified the interest.

The clubhouse remains the centre of power. It was opened last year. It has dormitory accommodations for seventeen students. Its parlors, reading room, and library are open to ail students. These are used by increasing numbers.

The social meetings Saturday evening and the devotional meetings at 5 o'clock Sundays, and the Sunday teas bring students and professors into most helpful and -delightful relations. It is. in fact, a happy combination of a fraternity house, a club, and a college Christian association. Hitherto it has been regarded rather as an experiment. The popularity of the club among the students increases every year, and the enthusiasm with which many of the members seek to promote Us object demonstrates that the faith of its promoters was not unfounded.

The success of the enterprise is not to be wondered at so much when the character of its supporters Is discovered. For if men like Cornelius Vanderbllt. William E. Dodge. Chancellor MacCracken of the University of New-York.

President Seth Low of Columbia. Ellhu Root. D. Willis James, and physicians like L. Bolton Bangs.

Henry C. Coe, George F. Shrady, A. A. Smith, and William H.

Thomson, and ladies like those whose names appear in the list of patronesses who received Saturday evening, are -behind an enterprise success is not hard to explain. It has been demonstrated thib evening that the time Is fipe for a great forward movement. The grain that has succeeded beyond question on the experimental plot must now be sown on tne farm. The field, too, Is ready for the sowing. The need of the hour Is at least a large clubhouse for each of two of our colleges the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the University Medical College.

Friends of students build such houses as the superb Vanderbllt Dormitory, at Yale, and the promised ten-thousand-dollar dormitory at University Heights. These are dormitories and nothing more. Yet the money is wisely Invested. But here Is the chance for a wiser investment a dormitory plus a tested and approved power for godliness. A power for God In the metropolis of the New World; In this centre of intellectual and professional culture; a power among the -men who will carry into the" homes of every State of the Union either the leprosy of evil or the leaven of life, which they acquire during a few critical years in this city.

What wise steward will tnvest or Sl.O00.O00, not to found a new small college, but to equip a tried agency, which will take advantage of these already well-equipped colleges, and make them powers for righteousness an agency which will guard their students from the fierce temptations of the city, and send them forth as trained leaders for God?

The copy- of a letter sent to Richard Grant, Secretary of thaRoyal Yacht Squadron; at Cowes. follows. In which the committee, after setting forth the resolution of the New-York Yacht Club, appointing a commltteeei and providing for the investigation, says: It appears that Lord Dunraven' statement, published In The Field, is mainly extracted from a letter which he sent to the Secretary of the Royal Yacht Squadron oa Sept. 24 last. We.

therefore, beg to inquire whether the charges last mentioned have been laid before the Royal Yacht Squadron, and whether any and what action has been taken by the Yacht Squadron upon the subject, In view of the grave Imputation of the representative of the Royal Yacht Squadron In an International race between the two greatj yacht clubs, the New-York Yacht Club feelaj that the most searching and complete investigation of the facts and of the charges against the representatives of the New-York Yacht Club should be promptly begun. It Is our purpose to conduct such investigation so as to satisfy every fair-minded man on either side of the Atlantic, and to that end we have already communicated with the Earl of Dunraven and requested bis presence in accordance with the offer made by him. The result of the investigation, with all testimony taken, will be transmitted to you." In answer to this, the committee, according to the statement, received the following Dec. 5: London; Dec 5.

Foy example, a section dealing with th right of a horse to a tart again after finishing behind th Has read. No distance shall waived except for foul." In the face of this plain command Judges frequently assumed discretionary power, especially whan an. accident occurred. On on occasion, during th Grand Circuit meeting at Buffalo, la August, 1891. th chestnut stallion Leicester, a favorlt for th 2:1 trot, was practically left at th port" by th starter In th third beat.

Though be waa nearly a quarter of a mil behind when tb leading horse waa at th finish, tb Judges placed Leicester, giving as a reason that, on account of tb bad start they waived distance. Tb neat day, whan th fourth beat ended tb contest the favored trotter landed second, and stood fourth la th summary. was protested as being ln-ellglole, but th case was not triad till the December of the following year. Meanwhile th congress of 1SU2 changed th rul to read, Th Judges shall decld what horses ar distanced." As the new section could have no post facto operation, the attempt to dodge th Issue failed. It waa held that th judges had violated th law previously in forte, aud that Leicester's place was in th stable after th third beat.

This Judgment established a moat important precedent, and set at naught th old fiction that a trotting Judge could do no wrong. Since that tlm many similar protests hav been made, and wherever th horse or bis driver was found to be responsible for failure to reach the distance post in tlm. it has been held that there is no discretionary power to let th animal start agiin. Eva tb amended rul. which Is by no mean las good aa th rescinded one, was Bet Intend! to permit favoritism.

Tb ease of Queen Bss, at Mlnola, la 1804, aad of Prank Medium, at Whit Plains, this year, tried last week along with several others, hav reaffirmed tb Lslosater decision. Seldom of never have so many verdicts rendered by th stand been set aside, but th adherence to precedent is sure to be of great benefit. The vexed question of distance Is now practically settled, and hereafter any protests w(ll sing entirely oa th facts. 1 Quit aa interesting has been th work! of the turf court that represented th Amcricad Association at Chicago, contemporaneously with th on which sat In th metropolis. Th latter had a case which concerned tb starring tour I of the crack pacers.

Joe Patchcn and John R. Gentry, last but It waa not heard. This was In th nature of an application for a removal of the fine of $000 imposed oa Jack Curry, the driver of Joe Patchcn. at Belmoat Park, Philadelphia. In September.

AS Curry and John O. Taylor had to defend a suit at Chicago last week, th Eastern trouble could not wall be 'looked after. Tb other on arose from the failure of the two rival peeara to put la an appearance for on of the numerous engagements that wer misnamed matches." i Tb man who claimed a violation of contract waa ready to compromise, but the board sensibly refused to allow this. While tb fin of $75, imposed cn the owners of these famous stallions is a trifling one. It shows that they wer i guilty of th charge preferred.

It would be of great benefit to th trotting turf If the hippodrome contests could be entirely proscribed. They ar merely exhibitions that stand on a slightly higher plan than public trials against time, and do not deserve to be classed under tb head of sport. A contest Ilk th free-for-all pass, in which Robert J. met defeat at Cleveland last July, or th on at Fleetwood Park, in this city, a few weeks when tb little bay gelding redeemed his credit, is the only sort of race between champions that deserves a large patron- I I RECORDS OF BROOKLTJI BOWLERS.

A PIANO CAUSES TROUBLE The South Brookljo Wteelcsa Will See the Libertjs to Efcovcr It WAS VOTED rOH AT A CYCLE FAIK On Clnb Pnld for Its Votes, Wbil Another Did Not, ad Now the Courts Will Decide tbe Winner.

Two prominent cycle clubs of Brooklyn will be involved in a lawsuit very soon, unless a settlement, which doe not seem likely, is made within th next few daya Xurtng tb progr of th fair of the Liberty Wheel men. In Columbia HalL a fine piano was offered to tb clab receiving the largest number of votes, at lw cent each. Prom 10 until 11 o'clock on Saturday night, when the fair ndd, there was sent voting; that is. on ecu Id pat his ballots and money la aa envelop and deposit It with th man In charge, sad th publio would net know for which club he was voting. Up to 10 o'clock evary vote had been recorded on a blackboard, and th South Brooklyn Wheelmen had a big lead.

A sign above the piano stated that the money for th secret voting must be lnslosed with th ballots in every ins lane. This is where th trouble com In. It transpires that th South Brooklyn Wbeelmea war apparent winners, when aa envelop guar-antsslng 200 votes for th Libertys. but no money, was counted la. This turned ths tide In favor of the Liberty, and raised a bowl of Indignation from th South' Brooklyn.

President L. s. Harrison of the Utter club was oa hand with a big delegation, bent en winning the piano. They had spent considerable money with that end in view, and quit naturally raised a protest when they lost It through a batch of votes not employed in accordance with tne rules made for tb occasion. Capt.

Weiss of the Libertys attempted to sxplain the matter by saying that It was hardly worth whil to deposit ths 'cash and then take It out again, Mr. Harrison threatened to so for tb recovery of th piano, and yesterday be announced that Lawyer Shanks of Brooklyn would be retained to-day to bring suit against the Libertys. Mr. Harrison considers that he has a vary clear case. It was long after 11 o'clock before the results of th several voting contests ware announosd.
