Elaborate preparations are being made by the members of the Woodruff Boat Club to entertain a large number of guests on Decoration Day, when their boathouse, located at Holland's Station, Rockaway Beach, will be completed and thrown open. The club was organized during the past winter, and among its membership are included Register James R.

Howe, Harry Jaqulllard, Counselor Bert Reiss, John Kissel, Charles F. Rheinhardt, Warren C. Treadwell, Louis J. Aitkin, Bob Levy, George Jaquillard and William F. Hoitz.

John Stecklein has been selected to captain the club. It has purchased the ground and erected a substantial club house two stories high at a cost of $5,000, the funds being furnished by twenty five stockholders. It is their intention to use the house during the heated term to talk over political matters in the Fifteenth Assembly District and at the same time arrange it so that all good Republicans in that district may be able to spend a few days with them as their guests. As the clubhouse will be able to accommodate fifteen persons at a time it will be seen to that no one is slighted. As a matter of fact the club has been organized for no other purpose than to give the workers of the party an opportunity to obtain a few days' outing.

That the idea has met with general approval is evident, as the committee in charge has prepared a schedule for the summer so that all are Included. At the opening everybody is Invited and beside speechmaking there will be an abundance of solid and liquid refreshments. REFORMED EPISCOPAL COUNCIL. Proceedings of the Sixteenth General Conference Held at Baltimore Recently. The sixteenth general council of the Reformed Episcopal Church, which convened last week in the Church of the Redeemer, Baltimore, Bishop James A.

Latane, pastor, closed its deliberations on Monday. The council is the highest legislative body and supreme court of the church and meets triennially. The next meeting will be held in Cleveland in 1903. There were present clergy and lay deputies from all parts of this country and Cauada, including Bishops Cheney and Fallows of Chicago, Nicholson of Philadelphia, Latane of Baltimore and Stevens of South Carolina. Letters and reports were received from Bishop Cridge of British Columbia, Bishop Wilson of New Jersey and Bishop P.

X. Eldridge of London, England. There were present representatives from Brooklyn, the Rev. W. Russell Collins and Mr.

F. R. Gillespie from the Church of the Reconciliation and the Rev. Euclid Phillips and Mr. George L.

Ogilvie of Grace Church. Bishop James A. Latane of Baltimore was elected presiding bishop for three years. The reports of bishops and other officers showed the church to be in a healthy and prosperous oondition. All the treasurers, reresenting several funds and boards of trustees, reported considerable balances on deposit and no liabilities The committe'i on the state of the church reported a substantial increase in membership and a total upward of ten thousand members in America and an unencumbered property of more than a millioD and a half dollars in value.

The Reformed Episcopal Church is simply the old fashioned, evangelical or low Protestant Episcopal church, and although of the same lineage and history as that church is only twenty six years old as a separate organization, and beginning with few members and no wealth has contrary to the expectaion of many grown steadily and healthily, and continues to grow in numbers and in wealth comparing in progress very favorably with the older churches. The sixteenth general council was a very harmonious body. Some described it as a love feast. Old party lines seem to have been forgotten. The spirit of prayer was very manifest.

Many special prayer services were held between sessions. Perhaps no council in the history of the church was marked by a greater devotional spirit. The chief work of the council was the consideration of the revision of the constitution and canons. Invthts consideration, much of the time was occupied in meeting of the comittee of the whole. The work on the constitution was completed.

That on the canons was partial and remains to be completed at the next council. The council was opened with the ordination service, when the Rev. A. B. Hubley, deacon from Canada, was advanced to the presbyterate.

The Rev. Dr. Sabine of New York preached the opening sermon. Among the many appointments the Rev. Euclid Phillips of Grace Church, this city, was elected one of the fraternal delegates to the General Synod of the Reformed Episcopal Church in England, which convenes next month, when Mr.

Phillips hopes to be present. Mr. F. R. Gillespie of this citv was made a trustee of the sustenatlon fund and the Rev.

W. Russell Collins was made chairman of the committee for the collection of material for Reformed Episcopal history. 1IME. MAIGTXLE'S MUSICALS. Eine Programme by Toung Vocalists at Memorial Hall.

Memorial Hall was crowded last evening with the friends of Mme. Helene Maigille and her pupils, six of whom, with their instructor, took part in a musicale. which was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience. Songs in German, English and French were rendered, and each selection served to bring out in a distinctive manner the special quality of the singers' voices. Distinct enunciation was a characteristic of the singing of each participant, and won special commendation from the Mme.

Maigille contributed two songs to the collection, the first, "Demain," White, which displayed to particular advantage her beauti ful voice and was rendered in the artistic manner that characterizes all of her work. It was stated on the programme that encores would not be given, but the audience would take no refusal from Mme, Maigille and she supplemented the first number with "Coming Through the Rye," rendering the familiar ballad charmingly and playing her own accompaniment Elizabeth Hinds carried off a large share of the honors among the other singers. She has a mezzo soprano voice of rare quality and she sings with tho feeling and expression of a finished artist. "Joan of Arc," Bordese, was her introductory selection and it was very effectively rendered. "Pleurez mes yeux," Massenet, was the second number, and she completed the list with "Augus MacDonald," Roeckle, all three songs being received with marked expressions of approval.

Miss Lucie Hartt was also a favorite and was heard with much pleasure in "A Song of Thanksgiving," Allitsen; a madrigal, by Harris, and "Israfel," King, the latter selection being especially well suited to her voice which is a high soprano of excellent quality. "Oh, for a Burst of Song," Allitsen; "My Desire," Nevin, and "Slumber Song," Mattel, were the selections rendered by Mrs. J. Kenneth MacAIpfne, who possesses a fine contralto voice and sings with unusual expression. Miss Edythe Porter, sang a group of dainty ballads, which served to display her deep contralto voice to marked advantage and later she was heard with equal pleasure in the well known "Summer Night," by Goring Thomas.

The ballads were "Ritour nelle," Chamlnade: "Since We Parted" and "Lovo Is a Bubble," both by Allitsen. Miss Aunio Cragln sang "Rosamond," Chamlnade; "Rose Fable," Hawley, and "Dein," Bohm. vory sweetly and expressively, and Mrs. Clara Von Blankenstein contributed the German numbers, her selections being "Schono Zelt," Goetze, and "Die Lotos Blume," Schumann, which were prettily rendered. Isidore Lockstono was tho accompanist.

All of tho singers were the recipients of numerous floral tributes and the musicale was In keeping with the excellent standard that has ever been attained by Mme. Maigille and her pupils. On the conclusion of the programmo an informal reception was held by the singers. AGAINST HER PRINCIPLES. "It is all over between ur," said Miss Dlns moro, firmly, to Mr.

THEIR PRESENT CONDITION. General Improvement Indicated in Agent Eerrin's Beport, but There Is Room for More. The annual report of A. W. Ferrin, United States agent for the New York Indians, contains a large amount of information relative to the remnants of the aboriginal tribes still remaining in this state.

From this report it appears that the Indians residing within the limits of the state number 5,317, and are divided by tribal organizations as follows: Cayugas, 170; Oneidas, 252; Onondagas, 551; Senecas, Tuscaroras, 37S; St. Regis, 1,154. There are six Indian reservations in the state. Their names, locations and size are as follows: Alleghany, in Cattaraugus County S5 miles along the Alleghany River, with an average width of one mile, and comprising 30,469 acres; Cattaraugus, in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Erie Counties, 9 miles long, with an average width of three miles and embracing 21,680 acres; Onondaga in Onondaga County, eight miles south of Syracuse, 4 miles long, 2.3 miles wide, 6,100 acres; St. Regis, in Franklin County, on the Canadian border, 7.3 miles long by about 3 miles wide, 14,640 acres; Tonawanda, in Erie and Genesee Counties, about 20 miles east of Buffalo, 6,549 acres; Tuscarora, in Xiagara County, about 5 miles northeast of Niagara Fails, 6,249 acres.

The Cayugas and Oneidas have no reservation. A few families of the later reside among the whites in Oneida and Madison Counties. A considerable number of Oneidas reside on the Onondaga reservation. The Cayugas mostly reside on the Cattaraugus reservation. The descendants of the noted Seneca chief Corn planter, numbering about 90, occupy a small reservation, embracing some 760 acres, on the Alleghany River, just south of the state The population of the different reservations is as follows: Allegany, Senecas 996, Onondagas SO, Cattaraugus, Senecas, 1,270, Cayugas 152, Onondagas 36; Onondaga, Onondagas, 551, Oneidas 114; St.

Regis, St. Regis, Tonawanda, Senecas of Tonawanda band, 502; Alleghany and Cattaraugus, Senecas 44, Cayugas 18, Oneidas Tuscarora, Tuscaroras 378, Onondagas 48. There are residing on Long Island a remnant of the Shinnecock tribe, numbering about 150, a few families of Poospatucks and a few Montauks. These remnants of tribes have intermarried with negroes until their aboriginal character is nearly obliterated. The Tuscaroras are the best farmers.

They have good farms and comfortable houses and farm buildings. There are a good many thrifty farmers also on the Cattaraugus reservation. The residents on the Alleghany reservations are making steady progress, and there are quite a number who have good homes and well tilled farms. A considerable part of the Ononodaga and Tonawanda reservations are leased by whites under a state law. The St.

Regis Indians neglect their farms to engage in basket making, in which they are very proficient. The government of the reservations is by chiefs with the exception of the Alleghany and Cattaraugus reservations. These latter two reservations are united under a constitutional system of government incorporated under the laws of New York as the "Seneca Nation." The officers are elected by popular vote. The nation elects a president, clerk and treasurer, and 16 councillors from each reservation and other minor officers. The president and council constitute the executive and legislative branches of the government, and the affairs of the nation are administered by them.

The judicial power is lodged in the peacemakers' courts and council, the latter acting as an appellate court. These courts afford but meager protection to the people. The ncacemakers are often men without education or experience, and complaints are frequently made that they are susceptible to corrupt, and improper influences. Complaints are also made against the council that appeals are decided, not upon their merits, but through favoritism and political influence. The agent recommends that provision be made by the Legislature for an appeal to the white courts.

Kation of Indians is re ceipt of a consid rable revenue from rentals and oil royalties on the Alleghany reservation This reservation embraces the valley bordering the Alleghany River for a distance of about 35 miles, and through it Is built several lines of railroad. Through the in uence of the railroads several white villages have been built upon the reservation and with in six of them Vandalia, Carrollton, Great Valley. Salamanca. West Salamanca, and Red House 99 year leases are made to the whites under special acts of Congress. The most important of these villages Is Salamanca, with a population of 5,000.

The rentals In these white villages are paid to the treasurer of the Seneca Nation, and amount to from $6,000 to SS.000 a year. The eastern end of the reservation is contiguous to the Chipmunk oil field, and oil developments are being carried on under a lease sranted in December, 1896, to the Seneca Oil Company, a corporation composed of white men. The lease to this company, which embraced that part of the reservation outside the white villages lying east of Salamanca, was recently transferred to the South Penn Oil Company, a branch of the Standard Oil Company. The cash sales of oil for the flccal year ending June 30. 1900, as reported to the United States agent by the railroad and olpe line companies, aggregated $86, 793.48".

The Indians have an eighth royalty, which for the fiscal year amounted to S49.1.S. There is much dissatisfaction among the people of the Seneca Nation growing out of the belief that the income of the Nation is improperly handled. The schools on the various reservations in the New York agency are supported by the state. The school reports show that, there are 29 districts, with a total number of 1.296 pupils of school age. The schools and children on each reservation are given as follows: Alleghany.

6.200: Cattaraugus, 10. 325; Onondaga. 1.130; St. Regis. 5.325: Shinnecock.

155: Poospatuck, 119; Tonawanda, 3.137; Tuscarora, 2,105. The state builds and maintains the school buildings on the different reservations, and pays the teachers. The expenses of the schools for the past school year are reported at $11,891.1.6. Superintendent Harrison says that the schools nil the Cattaraugus reservation are In better condition than on the Alleghany reservation. He attributes this to the fact that the people on the former reservation average a better intelligence, and have been more thrifty, although in the past few years thero has been a marked improvement in these respects among the people of the Alleghany reservation.

Superintendent Newman speaks encouragingly of the work done In the Onondaga school. Superintendent McConnell reports rapid improvement in the schools on the Regis reservation. Superintendent Parker reports an Increased attendance and Interest in the schools on the Tonawanda reservation, nnd Superintendent Mentz makes a like report for the Tuscarora reservation. The state also supports the Thomas Asylum, an Institution for the care and education of Indian orphan and dependent children. The asylum is located on the Cattaraugus reservation near and cares for something over 100 children, between the ages of 3 and 16 years.

The Friends of Philadelphia maintain a boarding school for Indian children adjacent to the Alleghany reservation, near the post ofllce of Tunesassn. There is connected with the school a farm of 404 acres. The boys and girls, In addition to the instruction in the school room, are taught all branches of farm and housework. The attendance of pupils Is limited to 45. In addition to the school facilities provided by the state and the Friends a good many Indian children from this agency are enjoying the advantages to be found in the United States government For Boston Symphony Orchestra Programmes in Next Season's Institute Concerts.

MORE OF THE ROMANTIC MUSIC. Recitals to Be Given on Friday Evenings Vocal Soloists to Be Heard. Arrangements have been completed in a very satisfactory manner for tne series of five orchestral concerts by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Wil helm Gerlcke, for the season of 1900 01. The concerts will be given on Friday evenings, instead of Saturday evenings, as heretofore. This change of the day of the week is especially advantageous, and for two reasons: It will enable a very large number of those who are engaged In church choirs and as church organists in rehearsals on Saturday evenings to attend the Philharmonic concerts on Friday evenings; the second advantage will be especially appreciated by the Philharmonic audiences.

Heretofore, the orchestra has been compelled to leave the Academy of Music by a lew minutes after 10 o'clock, so as to catch the Boston train leaving at 11 o'clock. Next season the orchestra will play in Brooklyn on Friday evenings and in New York City, at Carnegie Music Hall, on Saturday afternoons. This will give the orchestra full time for a concert in the Brooklyn Academy of Music and will permit of the" revival of the old custom in the days, of Theodore Thonias, of having a brief intermission of ten or fifteen minutes when the concert is about half or two thirds over. This intermission will be very much appreciated by the lovers of music who have felt during the past few years as though they were compelled to take their concerts at "an express train rate of speed, and without stops." The intermission will enable the Philharmonic concert goers to make of the concerts a social function as well as a musical one. It will now be possible for auditors to move about in the Academy during the intermission and chat with friends whom they have an opportunity to meet rarely except at a musical event.

More important still is the announcement recently received by the Brooklyn Philharmonic Society and the Brooklyn Institute that the programmes for the concerts next year will contain much more of that music which is desired by the true lovers and students of music. There is to be more of the dramatic and romantic art of Wagner and Beethoven and less of the formal art of Bach and the earlier classical school of composers. An equally important innovation for the Boston Symphony Orchestra will be the introduction of two or three vocal soloists of the highest grade in place of so large a number of pianists as have appeared in recent years. It is felt to be desirable that the musical attention should not be strained continuously for two hours Dy listening to strings and that there will be a relief by the introduction of a vocalist near the middle of the concert. In the days of Theodore Thomas the Academy of Music was packed to the doors by the music loving public.

There are twice as many music lovers in Brooklyn now as tnere were in the days of Theodore Thomas. The Boston Orchestra is probably the best in America. Its conductor is an able musician who is capable of getting the very best results from a fine body of trained musicians. During the past two or three years, however there has been a failure in the making of programmes for the Philharmonic concerts to realize what are the demands of the educated and the music loving people of Brooklyn. It is not generally recognized, as it should be, that there is no other city in America whose inhabitants nave so great musical advantages as Brooklyn.

The people of Brooklyn have the benefit of all. the concerts that are given here plus all the concerts that are given in Manhattan. The people, in Manhattan, on the other. hand, have only the benefits of the concerts in Manhattan, for they do not know that there is such a thing as a great music loving public in Brooklyn. They do not know that we have more high grade concerts here in Brooklyn than are given in either Boston, Philadelphia.

Chicago, Cincinnati or St. Louis. In the days of Theodore Thomas it was Brooklyn that patronized the Thomas concerts' more than did the residents of the old City of New York. It was the people of Brooklyn who especially enjoyed for a period at ten years the concerts that were directed at the Academy of Music and at Brighton Beach bv Anton Seidl. Brooklyn has to day the largest musical organizations in the country, and probably in the world.

The department of music of the Institute has a membership of 2 14S persons, each one of whom contributes financial support to good music. Under the auspices of the department during the past year forty seven concerts were given to 55,000 people. There was scarcely a distinguished artist available in the country who did not appear before these audiences. From M. Paderewski.

Rafael Joseffy and M. Doh nanyi, among the pianists, through the long list of eminent vocalists, violinists and 'cellists, there was opportunity to hear in one season 13S of the most scholarly and uiuoi popular musicians or the day. One may therefore realize fully what opportunities for hearing good' music are open to the Brooklyn public, and one who realizes what Theodore Thomas and Anton Seidl did In programme making, in educating the people to an appreciation of Wagner and the other great dramatists in music win surely understand that musical programmes offered by so good an orchestra as the Boston Symphony will not draw an audience unless they are especially interesting, so interesting as to positively command the attention of the music loving public. Fortunate it is that the management of the Boston Symphony Orchestra recognizes now, as it has "not done before, what are the demands for good music in Brooklyn. A still further advantage is expected In the management of the Philharmonic concerts another season in that the programmes and soloists will be announced at least a month In advance, so that music lovers may know what to expect when the Boston Symphony appears in the Academy.

At a meeting of the board of directors of the Philharmonic Society held on May 21 a special committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Henry N. Whitney. Henry K. Sheldon, Carl H.

De Silver, John S. Frothingham, Franklin W. Hooper and John E. Leech, to prepare announcements of the concerts next season. This committee held a meeting last evening, and will issue to former subscribers and to the public generally an official statement within a few days.

The Presbyterians have two churches on the Allegany reservation, one at Jlmersontown, the other at Old Town, with a membership of 125 and 52, respectively. There is also a church on the Cornplanter reservation, just over the line in Pennsylvania, with a membership of 61.

There are Sunday schools connected with these churches. The Rev. M. F. Trippe of Salamanca has charge of these churches, and also of the Presbyterian mission work on the Tonawanda and Tuscarora reservations.

The Baptists have a church at Red House, on the Allegany reservation, with a small membership. Services are regularly conducted by Harley Blinkey, a Senaca Indian. On the Cattaraugus reservation the Presbyterians have two churches, the Baptists and Methodist Episcopal each one. The Presbyterians support a missionary on the field, who at present is the Rev. L.

M. Lawrence. On the Tonawanda reservation there are a Presbyterian, a Baptist and a Methodist Episcopal church. the Tuscarora reservation there are a Baptist and a Presbyterian church, and on the Onondaga reservation an Episcopal, a Methodist Episcopal and a Wesleyan Methodist church. A majority of the St.

Regis Indians are Catholics, and members of the Catholic Church in the Canadian village of St. Regis. The Methodist Episcopal Church at Hogansburg has a membership of 52. The missionaries in charge of the work on these reservations report substantial progress in the condition of the Indian people. The agent reports that the whites living in the vicinity of the reservations generally agree that there is steady improvement.

Nevertheless, reservation morals are not what they should be. The Indians, as a rule, are not a vicious class, but Intemperance and Immorality prevail to a large extent. The Court of Claims and Supreme Court of the United States having decided in favor of the New York Indians in the matter of Kansas land claim. Congress has appropriated $1,967,056 to be distributed among the Indians entitled to share in such distribution. There is pending In Congress bills authorizing the secretary of the interior to make up the rolls for such distribution.

The agent says a large majority of the Indians are opposed to citizenship. The principal reasons for this opposition are these: The uneducated and nonprogressive feel that they are unprepared for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, and they fear to make the change from the present "to a new system. Many of the more intelligent and enterprising people have acquired considerable real, estate, and they fear a division of landslip severalty and citizenship would deprive? them of the results of their enterprise and industry. The United States holds in trust $238,050 for the Senecas and for the Tonawanda band. The Interest on these funds, amounting to $11,902.50 and $4,349.50.

respectively, is distributed by the United States agent. The per capita amount from the first fund last year was $4.20. Each of the Tona wandas received from their fund and $4.20 from the general fund, or a total of $12.55. In addition, the federal agent distributes each year $3,500 worth of sheetings and ginghams among the Cayugas, Oneidas, Onondagas. Senecas and Tuscaroras, in pursuance of a treaty made with the Six Nations November 17, 1794.

The state pays annuities as follows: To the Onondagas, to the Cayugas. $2,300: to the St. Regis, $2,130.67, and to the Senecas, $500. GREATER NEW YORK GTJN CLUB. Second Open Live Bird Shoot at Dexter Park.

The Greater New York Gun Club had a poor day for Its second open shoot at Dexter Park yesterday. The rain kept many shooters away, but Captain Shortemeler had the pleasure of seeing at least a dozen rough riders with their guns at the grounds shortly after the shooting began at 11 A. M. One of the new men in this section was Ralph Parker, a professor in the art of wing shooting, who has a shooting ground at Lakewood and who has taken up his home in the Twenty sixth Ward. His style at the score reminds one of Charles Powers, the Western expert, a style that could well be copied by all beginners with the shotgun.

Parker did some fine work with the gun, but he found among a lot of experienced veterans of the traps, so tnat tne nonors were easy throughout the day. During the afternoon Steve Van Allen and W. W. Peabody were matched to shoot a 100 live bird race, $100 a side, at the Medlcus Gun Club set of traps at Interstate Park, at 10 A. on Decoration Day.
