J. HORNER CO. TEE BRINE AND ITS CASTLES DESCRIBED "TO MART TEACHERS BT ALBERT 8. BICKMORE. Prof.

Albert 3. Blckmore lectured yesterday morning to the teachers In the Huseum of Natural History on -The Rhine and Its Castles." The attendance was larger than on any previous occasion, and many were unable to gain admittance. Prof. Blckmore took the opportunity to emphasize the need of a larger hall It Is a great he said, that the City of New-fork cannot provide a hall large enough to accommodate those who come for the Instruction which the State has already provided. I suggest that eaoh.

of yon who has Influence with the city authorities give to those authorities an exact renort of the olroumstanoes here to-day, showing the discomforts with whloh you are attended as you come here for This remark was applauded. The lecture was Illustrated with an un Dsn ally fine series of pictures. After two maps were exhibited, showing the river system of Switzerland and the sources ot the Rhine, photographs were shown of the Rhine valley and Glacier and the little stream flowing- from the latter, which is the source of the historic river. Following down this river, several views of the Via Mala were shown. The oldest castle In ail Switzerland stands upon a cliff rising straight up for hundreds of feet above the boiling little stream in the gorge below.

Until a recent period this Via Mala was but four feet wide, but recently the enterprising Swiss have exoavated under the forbidding cliffs and hare a broad and well-kept roadway. Two ilored riews of Thusls. a picturesque village on this road, were exhibited, and further down this Via Mala the first level stretch of river was shown, where, for the first time, the stream Is dignified by the name of a river. At the sources of the Rhine nearly ISO glaciers contribute to It waters. Aa a result the river Is very muddy, and It is not until it reaches Lake Constance and passes through it that its waters come clear and blue, as they remain through the rest of their course.

Richly colored pictures of the Castle ot Arns-berg and of SobafThausen were shown. There were also two pictures of the falls in the Rhine below Hchaffhauaen taken from Instantaneous photographs. A view of Frankfort-on-the-Msln was shown, and three riews ot eitles along the river down to Bin gen. Including Mayence and Wiesbaden. At Wiesbaden the pleasure gardens and muslo halls were illustrated, and the lecturer took occasion to compare the habits of the Germans and Amerioana.

It would be wise, be said, for the busy Americans to take a lesson from the Uermaus. Several views from Heidelberg were shown, snd then the Castle of Ehrenfels. A photograph of the oastle aad vinsyard of Johaaulaberg, where the celebrated wine of that -name is made, came next. The tract where tho grapes for this wlue grow Is oca of about forty acres, and so great ia the yield and so high the prices that the net revenue from the tract Is some times 7.000 per year. The Rhine tor scenery does not compare with place on the Hudson, Prof.

Blckmore said, particularly with that section juat below West Point. Four views of the etaUenfels, showing the entrance, the terrace, the hall of the cavaliers, and the room of the Empress, were shown In such beautiful colors as to bring out a round of applause. Following this were six views from Couienz. showing some of the ehurehes and the celebrated fortress ot Ehrenbreitsteiu from two positions. This fortress Is the strongest In all Uerinany.

Four views of Drschenfels were shown, and the Castle of Uodesberg. At Bonn some views had been taken showing the university, the pleasure grounds, and the general situation of the elty. Heidelberg was shown and some description of the place given. The castle at this city is the largest In Uermany. It stands 33U feet above the Neckar River, and was occupied as a easUe as early as 1.34.

It baa been In Its resent ruined condition since 1764. In a cellar i one corner ef the rules is the famous monster cask, capable of holding 4.9.OO0 gallona, whloh was need by the nobility for storing wine. The valley of the Rhine was said to be the natural highway over the Alps te Italy, and the castles scattered along this highway, were built aud maintained by the barons by heavy taxes levied on the merchandise that passed np and down the liver. The picture of the Churoh of et Apolllnarla ahowed the situation ot the spring from whloh the water of that name is supplied. In Cologne the object of greatest Interest is the unrivaled eathedraL the most magnificent Oothlo edifice In the world.

It stands on a slight eminence, whloh Is thlok with ruins. The name of the architect of thia building has been forgotten. It was begun In X'H and was not completed until 1883. The last stone was placed In position la presence ot the Emperor William and nearly all the Princes of Uermany. Its spires ars 512 feet high aud the nave Is 145 feet from Coor to arch.

The building Is 444 feet loug. and within recent timee, aiuee tb work waa resumed after a lapse of many years, 900,000 was expended upon the edifice. JSAJf JOXES AUD 8KXATOR COLQVITT. Atlahta. March 5.

WEBER. OPEXIXO OP THE! INVESTIGATION OF IMMIORATIOX TEES OF THE MATTERS BT COMMIT- TWO HOUSES HILL PLAYS THE HOO" AGAIN. 1 The Immigration Be reau on Ellis Island Is again the subject of In' eetigation by the Federal authorities.

Congreis, by Joint resolution of both bouses, has Inst: noted its Immigration Committees to conduct an investigation with a special purpose of reooi amending Improvements in the plan of medleal nspectlon, and the committees are here. Tie outbreak ot typhus among the passengers recently discharged from the steamer Jtassllla prompted this particular line of inquiry. Other questions will also be considered and not a little attention will be devoted to finding out with what profit to the Oovernme it the 9650,000 or more that has been spent In 1 be Improvement of Ellis Island as an lmmlgran station has been Invested. There Is more tha i a suspicion that high prices have prevailed or Inferior work. The members of the I lenate and House committees who came on 1 roin Washington were: Senators Chandler, Ch Lirman; Squire, Dubois, Proctor, Voorhees, Mol 'hereon, and Hill; Representatives Stump.

Ch slrman; Covert, Elliott, Gelssenhalner, Epes, Hare, Ketcham, and Funston. They were charge ot Felix Mc-Closkey, the "mysterious statesman" who has so long served as Dot rkeeper in the House. Senator Hill was not his colleagues yesterday, but spent the di hobnobbing with the politician. Senator i oPherson waa also an absentee. The statesmen went own to the island on the regular ferryboat short ly after 11 o'elook.

They took a lunch along fron i the Filth Avenne Hotel. As soon as they lan led. Immigration Commissioner Weber led tern to his private office, where a brief session waa held. An hour was devoted to reading ofUo al doeumenta bearing en the phases of the Imn Igratlon question to he considered, and Benat Chandler told how the work of handling Imn igrants was takea out ot the iiande of the State authorities and placed under the control of tl General Government. He told how Ellis Island bad noma to be selected as a site for tb new station, and said that, outside of the qi estion of the system of keeping out sick and indeslreble Immigrants, the most important matter that the committee would have to consider was the manner in which over $650,000 had been spent In putting the island in condition and ereotlng proper buildings on It.

The benators and Congressmen had noticed as tbey walked through the buildings after landing that they were very cheap-looking affaire, unsubstantial though, comfortable. The wood put in them waa evidently soft and poorly seasoned, for in the partitions and elsewhere great seams had opened up, through some of which the hand could be plaoed. CoL Weber was eallSd upon to give his story of the landing ot the passengers of the Maaellia and the subsequent outbreak ot typhus among them. He said that hk atood and wale tied the passengers land and pi the Medical Inspect- ors. Me noticeu tnree no were evidently very sick, but neither he the surgeons saw any indication of typhus, sick passengers to be transfer of the three horn he referred he considered an outri ge.

and so wrote to the agent of the line. The reply he received excused transfer on the ground that the sick patients bad left the hos pital during the oentiktlon of landing passengers, though the ship's! doctor had ordojred that they be not moved. The three slok people were plaoed in the hospital. One of them afterward developed typhus and was sent to North Brother Islaud. The other two were sent with bim tor fear that they might develop the disease.

CoL Weber stated that an average of about 1.500 Immigrants a day pasaed through his hands. He had a force of three Medleal Inspectors, one of whom was in the Marine Hospital servioe. The Immigrants arrived as a rule in batches of abiut '2i0. As they passed in they were scanned by the Medleal Inspectors, and all who did not look healthy were set apart for more careful inspection. This system seemed to Impress the Senators and Congressmen as rather weak, and tbey elosely questioned CoL M'eber concerning It He was not ready to admit tbat It was not satis factory.

The results seenied to prove that It had been fairly so. he thought He did think tbat It would bo advisable to mcreaso the force of Medical Inspectors, however. CoL Weber called attention to the fact that contagious diseases seldom got as far as Ellis Island, for the reason! that they were stopped by the Health Officer I at Quarantine. The Inspection there made the inspection at Ellis Island one of less Import therefore. Furthermore, the steamship oompabiea were an aid in the matter of dealing with tilsessed Immigrants.

It they eould help 11 they (would not bring such to this country, for they aad the expense of taking them back, and It demoralized their business. In a letter to the Treasury Department CoL Weber had spoken of the adrisablllty ot the Federal Government taking charge of Quarantine. Upon questioning he said that ho had not made this suggestion because of any nils-understanding or unpleasantness between the Immigration Bureau and the Quarantine au-' tboritiea. bnt because he considered that at present the Immigration Bureau depended entirely on the courtesy bt the State otnoers at Quarantine, and it anf thing should occur to Interrupt that eonrteay it would place the bureau in a very embarrassing position. Questioned concerning the Improvements on Ellis Island the Colonel said that be had nothing to do with them.

Tbey tad not been made under caused Congressman his supervision. Tut Stump lo remsrk that i very body who did have i work seemed partiou- anything to do with thS larly anxious not to els Im the credit for it rent down to see a barge from tho Amsterdam The committee tnea full ot Immigrants lauded. Ibey were a nne-iooking lot. far above the average. The committeemen saw the Medleal Inspectors scanning them as tbey passed along and saw them tnra aside many for further examination.

aVIweeslng the operation did not aeons to eatlafyjtbeirdoubta that the system ef inspection waa inadequate. An hour was thus spent in takiSg a.general surveyor tho Island and the manner tot Handling lmmlgran ta. Then a lnnea waa servSd, Arter the Innch the committeemen were ealled to-order again.

Horace B. Bishop, the reotor ot Christ Episcopal Church In East Orange, and the Ilev. Alexander Allen, bis assistant and the probability is that before lone tho church will have either a new rector or a new assistant reotor. Thus far the rector baa carried bis point in the controversy, aad tha Rer. Mr.

Allen's position seems to bo the losa secure, Tb. Rev. Mr. Bishop bss been the rector of tho church for some time. He Is advanced lm years, but the liberal aid he has extended to the support of the ohnroh from his private fortune baa Intrenched blm In tho rectory.

Ho baa for soma years past been aided by-an assistant lm1 tho discharge of his pastoral functions. The) Rev. Mr. Hughson filled that office till two or three years ago, when bo offended hia congregation by attacking Grover Cleveland from his pulpit, His people thought it about time for him to go then, and a vacancy was mads. It, bad not been filled when tho last General Con-i ventlon of the Episcopal Church was While attending it Hector Bishop made the acquaintance of the Kov.

Mr. Allen. Mr. Allen was then In charge of a parish in tho West and-In tho enjoyment ot a salary of $2,900. Hector Bishop wss pleased with blm, aad Invited aim to East Orange.

Mr. Allen says rtst Rector Bishop told blm tbat bo was seeking a successor and not aa as sirttaat merely, and that aa soon aa a handsome new church edifice, which he was then building; 1 and which has since become one ot the ornaments of East Orange, was completed, bo would resign and nominate Mr. Allen as th. rector, i Mr. Allen ssys that in consequence ot this In-, document, he withdrew from hie Western pariah and accepted tbe assistant rectorship o.

Christ Church at a smaller salary 2,500 a year. When tha new church was completed, ho waited hopefully for the Kev. Mr. Bishop to keep his engagement with him. Tho rector, made no move in tbat direction, and laat wees.

In Mr. Allen's behalf, the Rev. Dr. Franklin ot Shrewsbury, who is his father-in-law, reminded blm, in a letter, ot the contract under whlea. Mr.

Allen bad assumed tho East Orange oa- gagemeut la this letter Dr. Franklin refers to interviews Rector Bishop had with him eon-' oernlng Mr. Alien's change of location. Hay ays: Too stated that on desired my lnfiaeace In try.) tag to Induce my sob in-law, the Rev. A.

Alien, to toave hi. work ia Colorado and take ap that yea had -te offer la East uraage. Ten stated that yen wished soon to retire from the labor and the res puaal bill ty et regular pubUo services aad parish wort, and would so so whea your new church was eutOeieatly completed tor public use. The vm had te eSer Mr. Allea was tbat of assistant mia later, with right ot sucoeeston by eali ef the Veetry.

In whloh poaltion he would be expected to do the whoso atual work ot the pariah, with such assistance) from you as your health and eoavaaievio. -would allow. Believing you to be a Carte-tlaa i ef honor I did not aaggre a wrltfcam aat spedfl. acreemeat betwee. r.a and Mr.

Alio a. but I recollect saying to yoe frankly i 'Thia arraage-neet would be a delicate one. We ought te consuls the eemrana taftrmlUea ot human nature, Bappseo ouch a difference should arise bet wee a you aad Mr. Allea that eue or the other would be obliged te Mere, what then I' Your reply waa. la eoch case I aaeuld be the eae to Uader these aad Ukeaeonreae-e I -advised Mr.

Alien to accept rour oner. Your preen. la. doea not appear te be fulttUed. Mr.

Allea does net appear to hold the poeltioa yea offered," The Rev. Mr. Bishop's reply declared that he eould not I. eaaon law bind the Veetry by any personal oagagemeat to make tho Rev. Mr.

-Allea or any one else a rector; asserted that the -time at which Mr. Allen was to become too bead of the church had not arrived at aay rat, and denied that be had ever said that la eaa of difference he wonld be tbe one to go. Th. Rev. Mr.

Bishop laid tbe letter, be for. tho Veetry. Rer. Mr. Allea will probably be given art opportunity Monday alght ta press ot bis ease bsforo the Vestry.
