PITTSBURG. Feb. 25. The refusal of the Pittsburg Toung Men's Christian Association to admit an actor to membership was characterized as narrow minded ad unchrlstianllke at the annual State Convention at Washington. yesterday.

The charge was made by Fred Brlttaln. for many years a worker in the association. Mr. Brlttaln was forced to VtM tfc- The argument offered by the association was that the theatrical profession did not admit of a good moral character, and that weir Influence would be bad on the good boys in the association. Mr.

Brlttaln said: tv1 mn who has acquainted with the lives of Joseph Jefferson and many our great actors would dare say they were not men of good moral character, or that associating with them would be detrimental to young men.

90 PER CENT. CITIZENS In People's Institute Audiences, 6avs C. 8. Smith Talk on Ethics. The topic for discussion at the People's ZnsUtute meeting tn Cooper Union HaU last night.

Ethics: Aslatio and Christian," was of secondary Interest both to the managing Charles Sprague Smith, and the audience, for there arose again the question as to ths sociological. composition of the Institute's audiences, Mr. Smith taking it up In the very beginning and the meeting ending with it. Mr. Smith made a statement In which he gsve his report of the counts taken last Friday night to show the make-up of that particular audience.

Mr. Smith declared that out of 1,400 In Friday's audience besides some 100 women and boys "at least 90 per cent, stood snd said that they were citizens, and fully 83 per he said, rose to show that they voted In the last election; there were 65 to 60 Socialists, defining Socialists as those who adhered to one of the Socialist parties. The results, as taken by Mr. Smith, have been printed in the Bulletin of the Institute. There was evidently an extra supply of Bulletins on hand last night, for the director urged every person present' to get and keep one, that he might know what kind of people he belonged to.

There was a snicker In the audience when Mr. Smith announced that the next address of the evening will be a song by Mr. Henderson." The audience accepted the contribution from Mr. Henderson, who Is a great favorite, with vociferous applause, although it was not recitative In nature. Mr.

Smith's absent-mindedness does not surprise his audience, because It Is frequent. On the Sunday before, he caused prolonged laughter by announcing gravely, when the time for the collection came, that the gentlemen will now pass the ballot boxes." Ur. George William Knox was the lecturer last night. He contended that the East and the West were not so separate as Kipling would have us believe In his verse, and he created a laugh by telling of a meeting he had with a young Chinaman tn Tokio who had a New England accent and much American slang, and of an American who was an Asiatlo in the fullest sense of the word. His argument waa for the uniting of the ethics of the East and the West and the fundamental unity of mankind regardless of race or creed.

SCHOOL BUGLER PLEASES. A Bedford Park Principal Now Has One in Place of a Bell. I can't get "era upl I can't get 'em upl I can't get -'em up In th. mo-p-o-ornlng! Every tno-o-o-orning the residents of Bedford Park are awakened by the clear notes of a bugle sounding the reveille." When the breakfast is about half finished, over the roofs and down the chimneys floats tfce assembly." That the clock has been robbed of Its usefulness Is plain at noon when the bugle announces In tones that will not be denied: Men! Bedford Park section didn't like It at first, but recently the residents have become no accustomed to the bugle calls at stated Intervals that they gauge the day's work progress thereby. So the bugler of Public School No.

8 has become a local blessing instead of a territorial nuisance. John W. Davis, the Principal of the school, who is responsible for this revolution in school summonses, is an ex-army officer. When he took charge of the school he immediately began to train the boys in military drill. He trained a bugler.

That was the time when the thing threatened to become a nuisance. But when the school bell was abolished, and Instead the musical notes of the bugle rang out lo a different tune at stated intervals, the residents became interested. Now many a housewife lays aside her work for a moment and opens the window at 8 o'clock every afternoon to hear the beautiful Taps at the end of the school A METHODIST ANNIVERSARY. The Eighteenth Street Church Dedicated Its Structure 70 Years Ago. The congregation of the Eighteenth Street Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday commemorated the seventieth anniversary of the dedication of their church structure.

In the absence of Bishop Charles H. Fowler, who Is- detained in the South by the illness of his wife, the Rev. William V. Kelly, editor of The Methodist Review, preached. The Eighteenth Street Methodist Episcopal Church building was dedicated on Feb.

23. 1836. The society at that time formed part of what was known as the West Circuit of New York Methodism. This comprised four small churches In the western section of the city. In 1838 they agreed to divide their property.

When this division was effected the Eighteenth Street Church got the charter granted by King George III. in 1770 to the Methodists of New York City, also the Seal of The Corporation of the Methodist Episcopal Church In the City of New York." These relics are still preserved by the church. The services commemorating the anniversary will be continued this week. They consist of religious, historical, and social meetings. Next Sunday morning Bishop Andrews will preach.

LIKES HIS FORGIVING, TOO Meanwhile the Bible Class Is Swelling, and the Collection Baskets Are Being Heaped Higher. The corner In corn manipulated by Joseph for Pharaoh, during the seven fat years, and realised on heavily during the seven lean years, waa the topic of John D. Rockefeller, Jrvs. talk to his Bible class In the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church yesterday. Beginning with a declaration that Josepb teas his Ideal and to him a grand young man," three Sundays have been taken up by young Mr.

Rockefeller In describing Joseph's character. Until yesterday no question of possible wrong In the grand young man's actions bad arisen. Let us see If we have cause now to change our opinion of Joseph." began Mr. Rockefeller, approaching the first of the lean years when the Egyptians were clamoring for food and there was no food save In the storehouses of Pha-roah. Did Josepb do right in storing up the corn for- the period 'of famine ho had foreseen In the dream of Pharaoh? Did be do fairly by the people when he sold them back their corn, taking their money and.

when they had no money, their cattle and, when no cattle, their land! Mr. Rockefeller was evidently eager to get expressions of opinion from his class, but the responses were few and scarcely audible. The class, seemingly, wanted Mr. Rockefeller's view of the food trust of Pharaoh. "Joseph was certainly a great provider," suggested a member.

Yes; was certainly that," responded young Mr- Rockefeller, but did Joseph do something commendable and wise when he stored up the corn of the people? He was carrying out the Lord's Instructions," suggested, another member, "and consequently he must have done rightly." Did he give the people a chance to save themselves? asked another. Let us see if he was true to the Interests of the people," said Mr. Rockefeller. One commentator says that Joseph" bought the fifth part of the corn crop of the years of plenty. If that was true, we can find nothing to criticise in him, because be gave them a market for their product.

If, as another commentator says, he levied this fifth as taxes, we can have no criticism, for he created a reserve supply against the time of want. In the distribution of the corn during the famine did Joseph act rightly? Should he have given away the corn Instead of selling it? They brought money to purchase It. and when they had no money they offered their cattle, and finally their land and themselves, for the did not want to This jhemselves did not mean the selling of themselves into Bla very to prevent starvation. Tbey merely became tenants instead of landlords. Joseph let them have corn dn their own terms.

The upshot of the whole -matter was that the people were saved, a rare thing In times of famine. The. land of Egypt became better known and benefited commercially as the result of Joseph's providing against the seven lean years. The people seemed to be pleased, for we have no record of censure. He did not lose their confidence, but waa regarded with gratitude by them.

According to the usages of his time, I believe he acted commendably. Therefore, we have Joseph still without a blot on him, and finally have him showing the right spirit to his when they came before him In Egypt, the brothers who had cast him into the pit and had ruined his life as tar as they were concerned. He did not lecture them or ask them what they were going to do to merit his forgiveness. He proved them and found that they had suffered a change of heart and he forgave them. When a wrong has been done you it is not easy to act as Joseph did.

There must have been a great deal of good stuff in him to make him meet his brothers In that way. Let the man who is without sin cast the first stone. He may be able to afford to refuse forgiveness, but not we. We must be ready to forgive others, for soon we may be seeking forgiveness. Joseph's character stands out as strongly and as clearly as it did at first.

The man who can live like him will not have lived in vain, nor will he be afraid to ask forgiveness In the end." With this discourse Mr. Rockefeller finished his study of Joseph. He will continue with his Sunday expositions of the Old Testament characters. Each week he reads up his subjects In advance, using the works of various commentators and then drawing his own conclusions. Following the mystery of his' father's whereabouts, and as the investigation of Standard Oil continues, the Fifth Avenue Bible class becomes more attractive to outsiders.

The newcomers are welcomed by Mr. Rockefeller's assistants, and In most cases Join freely in the few minutes of social greeting after the lectures in Informal discussion of the talk that has been made by the heir of he richest man in America. Mr. Rockefeller himself seems to like to have the numbers of the class swelled. Meanwhile, too.

the collection baskets are being helped by the controversy over the merit of what Mr. Rockefeller has to say on Biblical characters and events. i IN DEFENSE OF ROCKEFELLER. Pastor Peters Thinks He's 'Unaware How the Oil Business Is Run. The people's meeting," held yesterday afternoon at the Baptist Church of the Epiphany, had for Its topic of discussion tl-e question.

Is the current denunciation of the Standard Oil Company Just?" Most of the Impromptu speakers were of opinion that-the monopoly got no more than was due It In. the matter of criticism. The Rev. Madison C. Peters, who presided) said that there were two sides to every question and that, to his mind, there was as much unreasonableness among certain classes of labor as among the capitalistic class.

He had good words to say of John Rockefeller, declaring that-there was much to commend In Mr. Rockefeller's life and that he was probably unaware of the way tn which the oil business was being conducted. Among the speakers was Frank Peters of Philadelphia, who is a follower of Henry George. Charles D. Ryan said the people themselves were to blame for their helplessness in the grasp of monopoly.

The others heard from contented themselves with denouncing Standard Oil and Standard Oil methods. rSILVEK PLATE THAT WEARSTS Beauty and Durability in Sooons.

A movement to raise a fund for the benefit of Miss Mollle Fancher, Brooklyn's famous invalid, has been started in that borough. Miss Fancher lives on the second floor of a little house at Gates Avenue and Downing Street, which she owns.

For a long time she has supported herself on the rent received for the store fn the building and an annuity of $400 paid to her by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. The idea of the fund is to provide more abundantly for the invalid, whoso case is regarded by physicians in this and other countries as most remarkable. or forty years Miss Fancher has ia.ni on bed in the Mates Avenue bouse, where many thousands of persons have called to see her. In June, 165, while leaving a horse car In Fulton Street, she fell and suffered a peculiar injury to her spine. The most skilled surgeons In the country treated her.

but none was able to diagnose her case to hla satisfaction. Nearly all her body was paralyzed and she also became blind. Although It was thought certain at the time that her death waa but a matter of days, Miss Fancher has outlived all the members of her family and many of her friends. She has gradually recovered the use of her hands and arms, and her sight has also been partially restored, but In nearly fort)-one yeara she has never left her bed. MRS.

R. C. HALL'S PLUCK. Pittsburg Broker's Wife' Turns Bolting Team Against a Wall. Sptfial to Tkt Nrw York Timet, PITTSBURO.

By presence of mind, skill, and strength, Mrs. Robert C. Hall, wife of a broker of this city, probably saved the lives of herself and companions yesterday in a runaway accident. None of the occupants of the carriage was Injured. Mrs.

Hall was driving from this city to her country home at Ross Grove when the team shied and Jammed the carriage pole asajnst a tree, snapping It short off. Immediately the horses bolted. Mrs. Hall endeavored to quiet the frightened animals, but when they slackened up the carriage bumped them and they started again. Mrs.

Hall, to avert worse consequences, turned the team head first into a stone wall at a bend of the road. The horses struck the wall running at full speed and both were stunned and thrown off their feet. The carriage party leaped out. The horses were so badly Injured that It is doubtful if they will ever be fit for service again. MRS.

NEVINS GETS HER SHOE Kind Friends Leave It at Police Station, with an Inclosure. Mrs. Mary Nevlns of 205 West Sixty-seventh Street was celebrating something yesterday afternoon. She became so uproarious that the police were called and Mrs. Mary Nevlns was taken to the West Forty-seventh Street Station, where there is a Matron.

Late last night two friends went to the station with a package, in which were a coat and a shoe. Mrs. Quinn, the Matron, remarked that the woman had only one shoe when locked up. You give her that, and she'll be more comfortable for the night and in good shape to appear in court in the morning," said one of the friends. No doubt." said Mrs.

Quinn, extracting a flask of whisky from the shoe and banding It back. THE WEATHER. i WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. The Southwest disturbance has reached the 8t.

M. ni REE MINISTERS TELL VIEWS OF PATRIOTISM My Right or JUVrong, for the Rev. Dr. DR. FAGNANI'S WIDER MEANING Embraces the Whole World, He Says Arts of Peace the Best, Rabbi Harris Thinks.

Three different sides of patriotism were discussed yesterday afternoon, before the West Side Toung Men's Christian Association, at the Majestio Theatre. The Rev. Dr. Charles P. Fagnanl urged that the true patriot sends his sympathies out to all humanity.

Rabbi Maurice IL Harris touched on Its ethical influence on eltl-sensblp. and the Rev. Dr. Thomas XL Slicer maintained, that the way to love one's own household Is not to camp In one's neighbor's yard" and that patriotism would make every voter take an active Interest In publio questions. Dr.

Fagnanl Illustrated flag patriotism by the Japanese, snd told the story of an English girl In Boston who tore up the Stars and Stripes. From all over the United States she receiyed letters and postcards from other girls. A Callfornlan young woman wished to scratch her eyes out." A New Tork girl sent a pithy postcard. "Get off the earth." and the unklndest cut of all came from Pittsburg I'd like to slap your homely English face." "There is a higher form of patriotism than this," he went on. It rises above family, class, and national bounds and embraces the whole world.

I ask you to enroll yourselves under Its banner." Rabbi Harris defended bis right to discuss politics In the pulpit, saying that every question an ethical basis. There can be no real separation of Church and State, and In the arts of peace we may show the truest patriotism. The Rev. Dr. Slicer said.

In One kind of patriot has his eyes ever on the ends of the earth; another Is never happy unless he sees his own shadow, and there are many kinds between these extremes. People say I'm wrong when I say, 'My country, right or But if jny country Is wrong. It Is my duty to set it tight. There was an Englishwoman who complained of the absence of ruins and curiosities In America. She was told.

Ruins will come In time, and curiosities we import. I am proud of being an Arr.erican. as America Is the only place where a man can get where he likes if be has the brains. Now, you must take the responsibilities as well as the privileges or citizenship. A man told me he had made $000 over an election.

1 hope you voted I said. I rarely only he replied. "He was of the tgnoble type that gets all it can for nothing. He enjoyed free schools, free libraries, free police protection, and In return all he aid on a vital Issue was to make a bet. One man who has made millions says he has no Interest in politics.

He is no better than an adventurer, though he seems more respectable An adventurer takes all he can out of the State: the cftizen puts all he can Into it. One difficulty we have to face Is that It Is so difficult to make a living there is very little time to live. But conditions are getting better, and the most practical thing we can do is to better the State. For society is an organism, and Its health depends on that of the Individual cells. Then there Is the difficulty of know-tne- which wav to head.

Theological dif ferences are nothing to those between the newspapers. Don't bother about the encyclopaedic fullness and kaleidoscopic variety of the editorial pages. Read the statements of the reporters, not of the editors. Don't let your Ideas be obscured by the utterances of those paid by plutocrats to nerog tne issue in tne interests of the trusts and shun the, anarchistic utterances of the mas paid so much a line to write them. a hiu Albany dealfe with book makers.

You need not bother. about its constitutionality. The only question Is whether It is rleht to make money by rambling whether In the fashionable hotel, where men lose Ignobly money they have made ignobly, or in the pool-mnm where a flashlizht would show young faces stamped with every form of vice. xhe questions of municipal ownership are before you; They will be settled not Kir the vntm but bv history. Personally I stand for the possession by the people of every monopoly which the grant of a hv the oeonle alone makes pos sible; but I am led to this conclusion by economic causes, not by Mr.

Hearst or any one connected wun mm, "'Thlnk-for yourself; that Is all I want. Remember the first duty of every cttl sen is to value hla political resnonsibill r-t of his relieious duties." It was announced at the meeting that Miss Helen Gould bad given to the West Side Toung Men's Christian Association a piano, a pianola, and a fine selection of music. ART CRAFTS TO BE DISCUSSED.

The meeting) will be held on Thursday evening in the club galleries, 3T West Thirty-fourth Street.

The Arts Club has always championed the cause of the Industrial arts in New Tork. being the only organisation which has held shows of this kind as a regular feature In the list of Its exhibitions. It has tried to fill the gap in the local art world left by the absence of any strong organisation devoted to the arts and crafts. Before entering its new quarters on Gramercy Park, the club wishes to sub mit the question to everybody interested. either as producer or amateur.1 so that not only the members but those- who are not members may bave an opportunity to a-ive their views, i-ersons wno ao not to sneak or are unable to be pres.

KEW TORK ASSOCIATION FOR IMPROV. ISO THE CONDITION OF THUS POOR. Do you know a man who would not resent being called uncharitable?

Dr. Joseph Silverman asserted that the United States Is not a Christian nation. was speaklns; of a book written by Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court, in wiucn a statement to tne contrary is made. it Our Tfatlon Is not tn i any sense Christian nation." Rabbi Silverman de clared. The majority of the people of this country are not Christians.

The ma Jority belong to the other various religions or are members of no religion at alt There are over people of this country who are not Christians, and by what right can Justice Brewer call the Nation Christian? i I deplore the diffusion of Judsre Brewer's book. It gives the Impression that In this countrr there Is a union of Church and State. Our Uovernmertt owes nothing to the Christian religion, as far as Its elements are concerned. It Ut only a development of the original Hebraic Hepubllc. We might claim that this was a Jewish Government, but we make no such claim.
