BOY FIREBUGS. MOSGO WIS HURT BEGINS A FIGHT. COMMON FIELD HARRISON CLUB TSG CHILBRE.VS OARMVAli. A Large Audience Witnesses the Performance In the Academy. The auditorium of tho Academy of Music was tolerably well filled laBt night with the fond parents and indnlgont relatives of some two thousand children, who packed every inch of the big stage.

It wafl L. A. Benjamin's annual oarnival. It is a performaacn which is characteristic of the Benjamin violin school, and whioh does not in the slightest degree rcsomble any other performance iu tho Academy during a financial panic broueht about by Bpoonlators, and the equal skill of his successor, Secretary Foster; the maoaeemant of tho Indian troubles by Socrotary Proctor, the unsurpassed management of tho postal facilities of the land by Ppt master General Wanamaker and the care taken of tho farming interests of the land by Seore tary RuBk, demonstrates, that the President is Bttrrounded by as able a cabinet as could be gathered together. The public praise, that has Greeted President Harrison durina the transcontinental trip just comipe to a provos conclusively that the people value hia worth, and the finger of fate points to his ronominatton for Presiient at the next national Republtoan convention, and his triumphat re election.

And now, gentlemen. I may be permitted to say Annual Meollas of the Brooklyn luHZi lute Department ol Zoologg. The annual meeting of the department of zoology of the Brooklyu institute was hold iu the class room of the Young Men's Christian Association, 502 Fulton' street, last evening. Pro fessor John Mickleborough, president of the department, was in the chair. Colonel Nicholas Pike, curator of tho department, made his annual report, as follows: The oast yoar haB beon an eventful ono for the department.

Tho disastrous lire, which nearly ueBtroyeu tne institute ouuoing auu wnony deprived us of a placo of meeting, tor the moment caused groat inconvenience and somewhat re tarded our work. 1 am pioased, however, to inform vou that tho'conchological, ornithological and herpetological collections belonging to this department were savod and safely cared for. Sonio oi tho sholls wero oroiton in removing, out duplicates have been procured to replace liieui. The only loss whicu tins department sustained was that oi a small collection of ova of batrachia, preserved iu glass Jaiv, and a number of jars of reptiles, which also have been replaced by your curator. Thu presentations the past year to this department have been considerable auu are numerous and valuable, consisting of tiyer seventy iirs of alcoholic sDeciinons.

numbering several Hundred, and rtm esenting. iu many instances, an educational series of the herpetology of Long Island, which tie found itivalu iblo to the student in this branch of science; also a number of jars of specimens uf rentiles from tho West Indies. 1 would llero scato that there are in tins city many fine and valuable collections known to me winch aro available andean be obtained when it is assured that a sale fireproof building is built iu which to place them. Yon will at once sue ihe great importance of immediate action by this department, and that every member of it should use fiis utmost endeavor among his friends to help make up the small amount which Is needed in order that work be commenced at once ou now building. I am certain that if wo set about thin work in earnest tliern is no doubt th.it wo shall materially a.

sist iu its accomplishment. Brooklyn with its million of inhabitants is to day without a museum ot natural history. In nearly all the towns and cities in the old world you win nuii museums which form a proiuiueiit educational establishment for the people. The rising generation is woeiuliv detie.imit in the knowledge ot natural history, and why is this so? It ia because there is not a piaeo in this great city where a girl or hoy can go to procure information. Many are obliged to resort to the museum ot our Bister city.

With the well known intelligence of the peoplo of lirooiilyn it seems strange to me that this imuortant subieet him Iwioi overlooked. It has, however, been our good fortune that a stranger from the Green mountain state has appeared among us, and with Ins great executive ibiiily ami judgment he has raised the Brooklyn institute from the lethargic state into wluelrit hail fallen to an institution which now is second to none ill Our citlllitt an eihicnihnial all lisliment and which every thinking person in our oiiy should be proud of. We miint impress poll the minds ot our friends the great importance in this great work. The benefit to lie derived from this instimto when well established will be of vast and nicalcuablo benefit to the rising generation. Impress upon them the importance of educating the children iu some branch of natural science.

It will keep them Irolll things injurious to their venng minds and bo a lasting benefit to them us well as a Pleasure tue alter years of life. Ask them to help us with donations and let us show the world that Brooklyn is not behind in the education of their children in the art aud sciences. Ihe report was adopted. Profossor hurl liroiinlit with him the head and flipper of a seal for tho express purpose of explaining that the seal is not amphibious, but carnivorous, mid closely refuted to the bear family. An amphibious animal is one Which at some stage of its existonce breathes bv gills aud also by lungs, thus making a double process.

FOOL DELAYS THK MEETIXti. Third Ward Vonng Doinocratu iu Sei niose rrogrisji ve (Jlub. The active young men's Democratic club of tho Third ward held a regular monthly meeting at the club house, Dean streot, last evening, some seventy mouthers being in attondanco. The house was brilliantly lightod from top to bottom and presented a most attractive appearance without and within. Presidont A.

J. Dunn called the meeting to order at 0 clock aud Secretary G. Herbert Brown recordod. Upon tho recommendation of tlio investigating committee the following were elected active members of tho club: Joseph E. Callahan, Perry E.

Wilhelm, P. Murphy, E. M. Jackson; associate members, W. A.

McCarthy, Peter Aineet, Frank W. Foley, J. H. Malm ken, Martin Holy. Tho matter of an oxcursion has boen agitated at a previous mooting and a cemmittoo had been appointed to find out what a first class excursion would cost tho club.

Ii. A. Wilson was chair man of thia committee. When the president called tuo committee last evening Wilson waa engaged in a difficult combination shot for the corser pocket of tho new pool table down. stairs.

A delegation, self appointed, brought Mr. Wilson itito ihe presence of the club, whoro he waa asked for a report. He said in a vory general way that a tug and two barges would cost all the way tram $200 to $000. but that a guod ex cursion, including printing, might bo got up for $350. Then Mr.

Wilson wanted to go back to hia nool camo, but was lioadod off at tho door. A member of the coinmitteo objeoted to tho re port on tne ground that no meeting ot tlio excursion committee had been called. Mr. Lvuch said he had looked uo the subject and a lint class excui'Bion, one that would be artistic and a credit to organization, with badges, musio and handbills galore, could be had for tho small sum of $650. Amotion was made by Mr.

Mcflrath to dis charge the eommittoe with thanks, as they had evidently not met. Another motion to lay tho committee on the table was made. A half dozen young Darlianientariaus then cot un and de clared each other out of order. Somebody suggested iu a full to "kill tho committee." This fMUguiiifiry suggestion was generally approved, much to tlio disquiet of Mr. Wilson, who had forgotten all about his pool gamo.

The president put the motion to dischargo the committee an I it was passed. Then lie put it again urn! nohoily in particular voted on it. mis nrecroitated Borne more debate, but in commit tee ivhh dethroned in the miff bv risini vole of 45 to 13. It waa expected that thero would bo a big fight for the excursion and iu consequence a large representation of anti excursionists was ou hand. After the transaction of some routine business the meeting adfourned.

Tho young men's Democratic club of the Third ward lias had a remarkable history of success Binco its organization last November. The club moved into its present quarters on Christmas cvo, after spending $1,800 in carpeting and fur. nishing. The organization now has 180 mem. hers, is out of debt and contemplates an expen 1 iture of $200 more upon tho house before tho mouth is out.

Dion there will be it formal house warming and the women folks will be gtven opportunity to aeo the cheery quarters whero their sons and husbands spend their leisure hours. The club has been a decided benefit to tho young men of the ward already and has seriously tniurod the business thu nelghbo nig Baloons where they were wont to coiiiregate formerly tor want of a tter placo. lne hou rules are strict and nothing iipnioachinir boister ous actions is permitted. Tlio initiation is Jl and the assessment 50 cents a month, for which tho members have the llio of a club limine unsur passed in the city for neatness and attractiveness in us linings.

SEKGKAXTS t)K KL! I'OblOS. The nelice commissioners ot the town of l'la bu.di have appointed Roundsman Thomas Giileu and James O'Brien sergeants of the poUco forajf0f tiie town ot Flatbusb. nrooMyn Unable to Hit Itndbournc's PUeteincr Yesterday. The Cinoinnatis gavo the champions a regular surprise party yesterday and Brooklyn slid back to fifth place. When tho visitors saw that they wero to kavo the veteran Itadbonrne to bat against they felt sure that tho finish of the series in Cincinnati would bo four straight.

Itadbonrne, it will be remembered, in his first match this season was badl punished by the Cleveland batsmen, tho score being 23 to 7 in the Cleveland toam's favor. With this score in their minds they went in yesterday against Radbourne confident of Blnsging the old man out of the box. The champions, however, caught a Tartar. Thoy not only had to be content with tour hits in their nine Innings at the bat, but in their efforts to knock the ball out of the lot they gave twelve chanceB for catches of the funeo order mostly, Radbourne being a skilful hand in pitching for catches. Bob Clarli, of last year's Brooklyn team, was a happy man, for ha saw the club which had released him handsomely chioasood, ho himself doing effective work behind the beat in bringins about the result.

Georce Smith, too, helped whip his old companions. Captain Ward put in Hemming and Kinslow, and Hemming was punished in the first two innings for five base hitB yielding four runs. After that Hemming cot down to his work and allowod only three wore hits in tho remaining innings. The champions got in one hit off Radbourne in the first five inniuzs of the earno and in tho last four innings they addod three more. As is usually the ca6e, the crowd, who had become diseusted at Cincinnati's throe straight defeats, remained away, not five hundred people being present, and, of course, thoy missed one of the tost games of the scries and tho only victory.

An incident of tho game is thus described in tho JUecoraer's "Burns was in a pleas ant frame of mind and laughed at the guying reception ho received. Once he seemed dangerous in the ninth inning. He had not beeu able to secure even a second hand partnership with one of Radbourno's curves. Ouo man wai out and two wero ou basea. A double, triple or homo run meant much.

Tho big fellow faced Radsourne, who stepped out of the box an instant, while he advised Holliday to move back. 'Ho can't do it said the Bug as ho moved iu. Two or three foul tips rolled off Burns' bat and then there was a crash and tho ball went high into the air. The Bug had his eye on it and very soon his hands wore on it, too, ond tho big man was a smafl fellow again. Piukney could do no better and that was tho end of Brooklyn's opportunities." The score: IinOOKLVH.

By tho United Press. London, May 15. The persecution of the Jows in Moscow and other places is reacting ou the Christian population.

Tho Jews havo always beon considered good in a financial aense ami their debts certain of payment. Tho Eiutor commercial sottlemont of accouuta was at hand when the oxpuUieu began and tho multitudes of Jews driven out of Moscow left behind them unpaid debts to thi amount or millions of roubles. This has involved ill bankruptcy numerous; merchants and others to whom t'no Jews wore indebted and under Russian methods only a small nharo of ihe property of bankrupts nls a rule reaches tho creditors. Thus thero ia a general demoralization of trade at Moscow, Kieff and other citios, and in all these places the rich and the prominent Jews are, for the first time, preparing to leave the country. Hitherto Ika rich Jews in Russia have been rather indifferent to the sufferings of their poorer brethren; but now all is changed and they make common oauso with thein.

Several of tho wealthiest Jows in Moscow, members of tile first guild of merchants and enjoying tho right of rosidcuoo thero. have determined tomtit the city. The lower order of Jews an gathered and uiarchod te tho railway stations in chain gangs, being fettered together. There they are put iu railway carriages and locked in and a military escort accompanies the train. On arrival in the region of Southora Russia known as "tho pale," whoro Jews aro allowed by law lo reside, tku captives aro turned loose to shift as they may.

Meantime, in Moscow huudreds of protested bills aro coining bs foro (lie judge of the commercial court, who haa telegraphod to the minister of finaneo for Htructions. It is said that tho Jewish Bynagogue in St. Petersburgli has been sold for 700,000 roubles, and that the Moscow synagogue, but recently completed, is also for sale. A Berlin dispatch says the Princess Bismarck is better, chiefly owing to the tendernos'i with which tho prince has continually waited on hor, to the sacrifice of sleep and rest. Tho princess of Wales is posing as an amateur photographer.

Hor photographs, taken by tho instantaneous proceas, are among tho attractions the International photographic art exhibition at Vienna. It Is said that they havo ovoked the pprobation of visitors. Mr. Labouchoro is accused of remarking that a Tew instantaneous photographs, with the prince of Wales as tho central figure, at tho famous baccarat game and on othor occasions would draw a crowd. The earl of Zetland, lord lieutenant of Ireland, returned to Dublin yesterday after a tour through tho western and southwestern districts of Ireland, including tlio Avran islands.

Ho found tho destitution much less acute than it would have been but for tho government system of relief in giving tho inhabitants work on the light rail ays. This morning's nowa from Lisbon statos that the city ia tranquil and that only tho preseuco of larger garrison than usual indicates the fear of listurbaiice. A dispatch from Calcutta says that the govern ment proposes to anuox Manipur. The British soldiers in that placo have been allowod to do as they ploasod and have even gono so far an to blow up two idols which stood near tho rajah's palace. The blood of tho alaiu British officers had beon sprinkled over the moutha of tho idols, which were in the forms of dragons and supposed to have a supernatural iulluenoo in protecting the royal inclosuro.

The British society to prevent the immigration of destitute aliens had a mooting yesterday, at which it waa resolved to urgo upon parliament the necessity of legislation to oxcludo undesirable immigrants. Several members of parliament have joined the society.

Tho Irish land bill reached clause 10 last night, the house of commons Bitting till 2 A. M.

Tho bill will probably be finished to day.

Tho objects of the company are tho manufac turing of pure, clear, hygienic ico and of cold air for cold storago purposoB. Ihe company is a consumers' company, and intends, in tho first tance, to aupply its own shareholders with ice, and when the present plant is enlarged to supply tho public at large. To an Eaule reporter Vice President Louis Lehn said yesterday: "Our mode of manufacturing artificial ico will bo as follows: We have driven wells twenty three feet deep and will distill tho water obtained theretiom. The steam will be filtered through coke and then condensed. The wator thus obtained is boiled again vigorously ami again filtered threo times.

It is then carried through pipes galvanized iron cans, 11x24x44 inches. The cans are well covered and placed in largo tanks containing a solution of Biilt. The ammonia that Is contained in the pipes surrounding the cans in the tanks is allowed to evaporato by removing the pressure under which it is kept, and by tho cold which is produced by the evaporation ico is formed ia twenty four hours in cakes weighing 300 pounds each and 1 lx'Mxl 1 inches in measurement. The supply of ammonia is unlimited as long as wo have gas works iu the country, as it is a by product ol the so called gas liquids. There can be no possible contamination of the ice by ammonia, as the pipes are beruietically tight.

As long ai we can get coal aud water and ammonia all the ice that is needed by any community can be supplied. The ico we will manufacture will be as near chemically pure as it can be. Our daily output will bo Bixty tons at tho start, but we are making arrangements by which we will be enabled to increase the daily output to ninety tons." ATHLETES IUCE AM) DAMCE.

Mrs. Jiaileutine has eu an inmate of the institution in which she died since 18 07. Years 'ago she was a inruiber of the Clermont avenue church. Within i fow years of being a centenarian, Mrs. llallcntinu was comparatively hal; an hearty up to tho day of hit' death.

Old age is the only cause assigned tor her demise. 9 At 3 o'clock tliis morning a lira Irom ioino un known cause broke iu the apartments of Alio Liddon of 250 Court streot. The flames wor extinguished before any great damage was uoue Three Arrests Eastern Made in District. the Hny Hyitsrions Conflafratleas Credited to tho Yunsster Ciucht After Much HHntlns They Aro Little fellow af 10 find 11 Years. For two weeks past soveral fires of a mysterious natnro havo occurred within the boundaries of the Nineteenth precinct, of which Captain Campbell is in command.

Tho police although convinced that tho fires wore the work of incondiarioB, woro unable to detect the perpetrators until last night, wheu they took into custody three of a band of young fire bugs. The whose agos are from 10 to 11 years, are James Hammol of 181 Bayard street, Nicholas ltemixer, Graham avenue and Van Pelt street, and Thomas Nicholson of 100 Eckford street. Young Hammel, who is supposed to be tho leader of the baud, was tho first to bo taken into custody. Ho was found at his homo by Dotective Finnigan and when taken to tho station mado a clear confession. Young Hammol had been seen leaving tho lots in tho rear of the frame stablo of Anthony McGourty, 181 Bayurd Btrett, at 1 o'clock in tho aftornoou.

A few seconds lator tho stable was found to bo on fire, but tho flames were extinguished boforo they had gained any serious head tray. Tliaflre had boen built uudsr the stable by moving tho dirt and filling the lisle with papor and other inflammable material. A youth named Chester was with the prisoner at tho time, and according to Hammers story it was Chester who applied tho match. It waa through the confession of Hammol that Detective Finni gan succeeded in arresting Ihe other two prison ers. Hammol alBo told tho polico that it was tho band of which he waB the leador that tried to burn the two story frame unoccupied dwelling at 541 Graham avenue a week ago.

Three unsuccessful attempts were made to destroy the building, but each time thoy failed. The fire department, it might be said, was called out oach timo to extinguish tho flames. Hammel also impli cated other boys in the work and tho police expect to havo them in custody by night. When asked why they carried on thi3 fiendish work the boy said they had understood that the building was not wanted by people in tho neighborhood and they decided to destroy it by fife. It was ouly by the timoly discovery of the fire that had been started under the barn of Mc Gourty that tho building was saved from de struction.

Had tho fire gained any hoadway a Beriotis loss of property could not have been avoidod, as tho stablo stood Hiirroundort by large frame tenement houses. Youiig Reminor aud Nicholson were arrested at their homos just aB they wero about retirlug for the night. Whou questioned thsy declared that the boy Hammol wits the ono who started each firo in which they woro implicated. Their art eat dtd not Boom to intimidate thorn in tho least and when put into colls wont thero laughing. Tho father of Hammol called at tho station later in tho ovening and declared to the police that the boy was past all control.

Ho said ho bolioved tho boy had a mania for firos and asked that ho bo placed in sonio institution. "It is for hia own good that I ask said Mr. Hammel, "for if he is allowed to have his freedom it will probably coat him much sorrow." The peoplo living in that section of tho city have been terrorized by the frequent fires and the arrest of tho boys will greatly relievo thorn. The prisoners will ba taken beforo Justice Guot ting to. day and turned over to tho society for the prevention of cruelty to children, vrho will see that thoy are safely placed iu some institution.

Their youth takes away all jurisdiction from tho courts to oilman them. TWE.VTY FIPTH AMI VEUSAUY. A Pleasant Etecoptiun at the Hmac OS Mr. aud "Irs. I'S, Van Dcrciilcr.

For the Efforts of the Teachers of the Gospel. Secant! Annaal Convention the Brook' lyn Christian Eudsawr Union Aa drsf by Paitor of hcl Churches.

A Serie of Cnferec. The second annual convention of the Brooklyn Christian endeavor union was held yoetorday i the Hanson place Baptist church, corner of South Portland avenue Bev. A. 0. Dixon, pastor.

Thore wore three sessions and each was well attouded. Tho first session was a sunrise prayer meotlng, which was held from 0:30 to 7:30 o'clock iu tho mcrnine. It was lad by Wayland G. Bassett and was attended by over five hundred young people. Tho subject for consideration was "Praise," and testimonies were given and prayers offered by more than half those presont.

Tho next session was held at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and it was presided ovor by H. M. Davis, presidont of the union. It opened with a song service, conducted by James B. Dunloy oi the young people's society of OhriBtia endeavor connected with the Cumberland Btreot Presbyterian church.

After this service had lasted about fifteen minutes Miss A. V. Rooino of tho society connected with tho Tompkins avenue Congregational church submittod a very interesting paper on "Tho Young Woman's Part in Christian Endeavor." She was listened to with ciose attention by tho large audience, that was principally composed of young women, and at tho conchiBiou of her paper a generous wavo of ap niause swept through the house. A hymn was ung and then Mrs. A.

M. Scudder of Jersey City delivered an address on "Junior bocietiei a Necessity." Mrs. Scudder ib such a pleasing sueaker aud handled hor topic so entertainingly and well that she was listened to yory attentively. Sho said that when cluldron are food, they aro usually very, very good; but that when they are bad, they are horrid, like tho littlo girl in tho rhyme that had a pretty little curl hanging down hor forehead. It waB to help them when they are bad that tho Christian endeavor societies are noccssary.

She held for the Christian endeavor system that it retains the child in the cluu eh to which it belongs, while giving it an acquaintance outside of denominational linos; that it develops every part of tko child's nature; that it trains it as it could be trained in no other way equally as well for the duties that await it when it shall be a full grown church member, and that.therefore.miiny chnreh members to day would bo greatly more useful if tu their youth they had had the advantages of membership in a junior Christian endeavor society. After tho sinking of a hymn a half hour was given to "Our Societies' Counselors." namely, the pastors. For this pastors' half hour President Davis resigned the chairmanship ol tho mectiuff in favor of the Rov. Dr. Jamos II.

of the First Reformed (Dutch) church, who made a mo'lel presiding officer. In tho course of a fow brier remarks that he made in opening he spoke very felicitously, with a rodued and appreciated humor, concerning the breaking down of denominational fences that tho Christian ondeavor union is responsible for. He said he could usually tell a Methodist, a Baptist era Presbyterian brother in church, in tho street or pretty nearly everywhere but in a Christian ondeavor meeting. Thero ho i nothing more or less than a Christum endeavoror. Dr.

Farrar concluded with tho thought that tho Christian endeavor movement is tho instrument iu God's hand by which lie will bring about tho union of tho churches. He tlin Rev. A II Cll tllS B. Pl'icll at'll. saying that Mr.

Priohard was the pastor of tho Arlington avenue Presbyterian church when ho left home, but a Christian endeavoror when he caiuo into that meeting. Mr. Pilchard hist made an appoal to tho pastors to put themselves iu alignment, in thorough touch and sympathy, with tho Christian ondeavor movement. He then suggested several improvements that ho thought could be made in relation to work iu tho Brsciety. First, he said, it needs to emphasize still more than it does tts connection with the church to which it belongs.

Prichard made his second suggestion in the matter of punctuality. They should begin their meetings oa time and close them on time. Next he ailv.so.l thoni to eschew reading from publications, but to take part in their meetings with personal testimony. Rov. J.

W. Malcolm, pastor of the Park Congregational church, was the next speaker. He said that for years he found that a gap existed between the Sunday school and the church. Tho young people graduated from the Sunday school and did not go into the church. Uo liken the Ciiri.

endeavor society because it spans that gap. The Christian endeavor society, bo continued to say, iR like a pneumatic tired bicycle. Equipped with that new invention, the rider can look without fear on tho rough piacos iu tho road. So the Christian endeavor society enables the pastor to ride through thu gap that used to exist between thu Sunday school and tho church and that used to prove often and often an impassable gulf. Rev.

A. Do Witt Mason, pastor of the old South Reformed (Dutch) church, was the next speaker. He said that three yeare and a half age ho welcomed to his church tho members of the union. He contrasted the small paityof that time with the immense following that the Christian endeavor society to day, thero being sixty five socioties scattered through the city, with an nggregato membership of over five thousand. Growth means responsibility, he suggestively admonished his hearers.

Mr. Mason said that thu society in his church is tho oldest Christian endeavor society in Brooklyn. Rev. Dr. Edward P.

InerersoiJ, castor of the Puritan Congregational church, followed. He said, inti oductorily, that it. did his heart good to look into the faces of some friends, and a good many strangers, who wero all thinking along tho samo line as one person. This fact reminded him of t)ie darky minister who had a friend visiting him. Iu introducing him to his congregation he said that it gave him pleasure to tell them that the basil on which they were working was the same basis on whieli his brother minister was working.

"In other words," he continued, desirous that uo doubt should be left in the minds of his people, "ne is basted on the same basis that we are basted Dr. Ingersoll went on to say that iu tho last three years he haB noticod a steady on going to a higher purpose among the young people than he had ever been permitted to see iu a similar period. He thought that a good deal could be learned from the young people and that tins is an age of obedient parents, tie concluded by urging bis hearers to go forward wiih their" work and he promised them that their pastors and parents will try to follow them as best (hey could. The Rev. George D.

Hulst of tho South Bush wick Reformed (Dutch) church was tho next speaker. He spoke of the helpfulness of the society to the church. He thought that the Christian endeavor system was especially admirable. In the twenty two years in which he haa botm pastor of the South Bushwick Reformed church, ho said, his young people's societies have always been very short lived. They either ran into wui idliucss or into opposition to the church, declaring they could not be bossed by the elders.

'Their Christian endeavor society, bowerer, goes along smoothly and prosperously and has already been in existence longer than any of its young people's society predecessors. Its loyalty to the church was another lopic that Mr. Hulst dwelt on. This concluded tha pastors' Italf hour. Jamos A.

Crnikslnink, state conference district society, then made announcements relative to tho coming national convention to be held iu Minneapolis July I) next. He said it will easily surp. Hn in interest and attractiveness its prodeecsrors and that those having the matter in charge for Brooklyn were anxUua that a large delegation should represent this city. Over lifteen thousand young people, all meni Pers of the Christian endeavor society are expected to be present from every state territory in the eoiiiitrv. The expense to Brooklyn ites will ba about $b'0.

Mr. Ci'uikshank added that a large representation from this city will bo advisable if the convention of 181)2 is to be held in New York, as is now desired: also Brooklyn would have the honor this year that she haB net had for sevoral years, ot being represented officially on Ihe platform by one of her young men. Mr. modesty restrained him iioui telling that lie is that young man. The speaker then conducted "A Question Box," aniweiing with readiness and adequately a.

large number of questions that were Bent up to hiin. The questions referred to matters appertaining to Christian endeavor work. A series of conferences were then held. A. V.

Ilecley of the Tompkins avenue Congregational church presided over that of the lookout committee, and thoso of tho other committoes were presided ovor as foi'lows: Prayer meeting, Leonard Dates, Westminster Presbyterian church; social, Mini Euiaia J. Conine, E.ist New York Reformed (Dutch) church; missionary, Miss Gertrude L. Wood, Classen avenue Presbyterian church: Sunday school, F. W. Rowe, Trinity Baptist church, and junior nocioties.

Mrs. J. E. Coyic, Puritan Congregational church. At tho last mentioned was present Mrs Scudder, whose paper b.

fore tho union was on this topic, and as a result of her words the arrangements were perfected for the forming of several of those socio, ties, at jire ent there beieg only five of them in this city. A collation was next served iu the Sunday school room, after which a recaption was temiered to the state president, Re Dr. tf. C. Far nir, pastor of the First Reformed (Dutch) church of Albany.

II. M. Davis then con luctcd devotional exercises, after which the pastor of the Hanson plaeu Baptist church, Rev. A. C.

Dixon, delivered an address of welcome. "Peisonul Work" and sions" wero the two elements of Christian endeavor lhal were then discussed, tho first mentioned by Iter. William II. Uoocock of tho Fhuhusli Reformed (Dutch) mission, and tho by Rev. A.

B. Prichard. The lust speaker held that great events are but steps iu God's purpose. The Christian endeavor movement was one of the great events of the age. It and missions were not co ordinate or co equal.

There latiotisiiip of the Christian ondeavor movement, instead, is tho roiatioB of the part of the wnoio. Dr. A. II. Moment of the Westminster Prosby terian church was tho next speaker.

He considered tho society in the light of an aid to tho church. Dr. Moment made some strong distinctions between Christianity drawn from tho word of God and church Christianity. Loyalty to Chriit, soul liberty, moaning freedom from priest, minister, synod, creed, confession or every thing save the Lord Josus Himself, he said were the elements of tho formor. Aa to the latter, namely, church Christianity, he instanced South America, which has had church Christianity for centuries and yet is degeuorato.

Church Cliristianiiy, continued the speaker, is a cur to tho world, always has been and always it ii I will bo. A prominent reason whj' he hold thr the Christian ondeavor movement ii an aid to the chinch is that its object is to convert souls and to strengthen them. The convention was brought to a close with a stirring adjresi by tho president of the state conferouoe, whoso presence at tho local annual convention lias not been enjoyed in several years and thercforo was a feature yesterday. Dr. Far rar's remarks were loudly applauded and the meeting was dismissed with the Miznah benediction.

The Ropmentntiro the Thirteenth Ward Makes Thing Lively at Tcstar dav's Seuion of the County Lofflslatori. Carev and East was tho Olsjaets sf His Attack. As the bill that propesed to transfer oontrol of tho county farm at 8t. Johnland to the supervisors is dead, Republican members of that body are trying to curtail the revenues of R. B.

Eaatman and James F. Carey, the architect and engineer of that costly experiment. Eastman is a Republican and Carey is a Dornoora't. They wero appointed by a combination of both political par ties in the board, headed by Supervisors Theodore B. Willis and Tkemas E.

O'Brien. Thoy aro paid by foes on the amount of work approved by the supervisors and accepted by tho charities commissioners. In the absence of Superviior R. L. BaiBley, aot ing supervisor at large, Supervisor Harvey T.

Lewis of the Seventeenth ward was in the chair yeatorday aud made such a good presiding officer that a unanimous vote of thanks was tendered him at the close of the meeting. The fun began when Supervisor Stephen B. Jacobs of the Thirteenth moved that the county farm committee be instructed to report as to whatweuld bo a reasonable compensation for the engineer and architect at St. Johnland aud direotine that body to end tho official lifo of the present incumbents. This resolution was adopted, but, as the committee is not directed to report within any specific time, tire probabilities arc that it will remain un aotod upon.

But Supervisor Jacobs had auothor little resolution to offer, and he prefaced its introduction with a few remarks thai seeined to excite some of hie neighbors. His second resolution directed the linaueo committee to report separately all bills put iu by Carey or Eastman for services at St. Johnland, and to pay no money to either un lesB Bpeciuc details as to tho work done had beeu properly sot forth. "I have reason to believe," said Mr. Jacobs, "that this board camo very near acting ou a bill for $1,500 for feos that should never have beon collected on tho extra work on tho cottaecs now being erected by John II.

O'Roarke. Tho oxtra work was filling up a ravine with brink, aud as far as I have boon able to ascertain no plans or specifications were ever drawn for It. That is one reason why the resolution I have presented should be adopted. The $1,500 bill would have couo through if I had not accidentally heard of it, and thou a big red line was drawn through tho figures in tho finance committee's report. There must be a sinister reason why each work should be done under tho blanket, or why wo shouTd pay extras on the building with more of it under tho cround than abovo it.

Not one cent should bo paid for such nefarious work, aud if the payment is not Btopped here it will be stopped some other place." As a member ot tno county tarm aim nuance committee," laterposed Sup. French, "I can say that all bills presented aro made out aetail." "Tho $1,500 bill for extras," answered Mr. Jacobs. wa uot mado out iu detail. It waB a general charge aud if I Had not been nosing around I would not havo known of it.

That is why I want to separate the bills of Carey and Eaatman from others prosenlod to this board. If tiiey nan not uoen witnarawn i anoutu nave brought tho matter to the attention of the district attorney." "I guess the hill was not for anv more than was duo tho man who put it iu," blurted out Super visor l'reuch, "anil was urawn in tne recmar way. I move that the resolution bo referred to the county farm committee." "I movo," said Sup. Deitsoh, "that tho matter bo laid ovor for week." This was agreed to. Excise Commissioners W.

H. Cropsey and A. V. B. Bennett of New Utrecht served notice of an injunction to compel the board to see to it that tho sum of $87 bo paid each for services rendered to tho town.

Tho communications wore presented by Sup. John McKeown. Bv an act of tko lee islaturo Dintrici; Attornev James W. Ridgway was authorized to appoint an Additional assistant in his office. He selected P.

Booth on behalf of the club welcomed tlu gnosis. Uo then introduced Naval Officer Willis, who tpnko as follows: Mr. Chairman, Follow Republicans and Members of tno Harrison Association of the Eighteenth Ward A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting you and of addressing you after partaking of vnnr hospitality upon questions pertaining to tho welfnre of Republicanism. Tho memory of that occasion has been on. of the bright particular spots in my experience in political and social events, and, thero fore, when I was invited to speak this evening to the toast which vour chairman has it was with great pleasure that I acceded to the misost.

Tho toast is one that opens up to the imagination a large Hold of speculation, and it is a tliemo that could be dwelt upon for a length of timo with great prolit: but tho time that is granted me and which is necessarily short became of the number of eloquent gentlemen who have consented to address you, and who will follow me, makes it necessary that I should follow out soveral lines of thought that will provide you with a few subjects for reflection. I hope they may be profitable to you and he of advantage to the Republican party. Speaking of the President personally, I uiny say that the present occupantof tho chair, Benjamin Harrison, one of the most able, conservative and wise statesmen that has ever been selected by the leeoplo of the United States to occupy tho presidential chair. Tlio blinding passion of prejudice and partisanship audt tho feeling of disappointment that fills tho breasts of sonio men within the party lines who have not mot with success in attaining personal desires, have caused derogatory statements to be made concerning ihe President, but when his term of office shall have expired, and when the impartial hand of history shall give i. tho world the record of his administration, it will be found as nearly faultless as it is possible for lie work of man to be.

In the broader sense tne President ii but the representative of tho policy of the party that has elected him, and while ho is the representative of tho people in their entirety, his actions are accepted by the people as the expression of the ideas of the majority that elected him, modified to an extent by the wishes of tho minority, in so far a3 thoy do not tend to injure the welfare of the country, as his party sees it Tue views of tiie ltepnhlioau party are based upon the wise ideas, nut ol Thomas Jefferson, whose greatness I do not wisli to disparage hi tho least, but upon those of the lirst President of this great nation, Georgo Yashington, the greatest statesman this nation lias seen, and yet the most modest of men. Ho was jl man who sank self that he might save a people. He left a home of luxury and all the glitter and pomp of a life that royalty would gladly have given him, and lot his country's sake lie took upon himself all the suffering, the trials and hardships of a soldier's life, fighting with unskilled troops against the trained battalions of Europe commanded by its greatest generals. Knowing full well that defeat meant aa ignominious death, yet for the sake of liberty and the right, because his conscience so directed, he was willing to sulfur and to risk death that justice mignt prevail. Tins, Mr is the man the Republican party has accepted for its model, the man who preferred his country to his personal easo and the prevailmeut of right to life, his principles, as set forth in his farowell address, when he folt that tne country was on a firm foundation and he could seek the retirement and ihe rest he had so nobly earned were tersely siatod, "The preservation of the integrity of tho Union as the palladium of Political safety and prosperity, the exaltation of the name of American with the just pride of patriotism, the avoidance of complications in ttie trollblod of foreign nations, respect for the authority of the laws of the nation, to discountenance irregular opposition to its acknowledged authority, to maintain the perfect security of liberty, to maintain reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, to maintain religion anil morality by promoting institutions for vh.

Let it be understood in the first place that tho Benjamin violin school is a froe concern.

Tho ohiidren are taught for nothing, or noxt to nothing, and all they aro expoctod to do for Mr. Bon jumin in return is to take part in tho annual entertainment. Sovural thousand pupils attond tho school, and very fow of them indeed aro more than 12 years of age. Moat of Mr. Benjamin's pupils are about 7 or 8 years old.

Now, once every year all these soveral theusand pupils are brought together for what the programme always terma a grand children's ear nival. They play and sine and go throueh a pleasing childrou's drill. A fewoxtra attractions are interwoven in the carnival. With 2,000 children on tho stage, it is only natural that two er three times two thousand relatives should attend the performance. And is perfectly natural, too, that this multitude of relatives should applaud and laugh and wax enthusiastic ever every point that will possibly bear praise, aud pass indulgently over any number of weak spots iR the performance, and put up with long waits and mistakes and diacropanciea of various sorts without a murmur of protest.

Long beforo tho curtain wont up for last night's performance tho children began to swarm into the Btage entrance and from a droning buzz at 7:30 grew a clamorous tumult at 8. The programme oponod with an overture by L. A Benjamin, the head of tho school and the manager of the carnival. The violin school played a march and the little folks joined in a lullaby, which was very prettily sung. The chil dre were ranged, in tiers, one above tho other, from tho very front of the stage into the boughs of tho etase trees away in the background.

Canvas foliage surrounded the bright little faces, and if tho children had but beeu dressed alike in whito as they were last year the spectaclo would have been extremely pretty. Little Flossie Cornwall played away bravely at "II Trovatore" and sho lookod ho sweet and cute and protty that the audienco forgave her playing and applauded her warmly. Another little miss in whito recited the story of tho negro who stole a croon watermelon, and then two little boys and Miss Flossie competed for a prize. Thoy fiddled. The audieuea selectod ono of the boys as the winner, although the others played just as fast and missed just as many notes as he did.

The little boy probably hau the most sympathizers. Tho children all joiuod in siwgiug "Love's Old Sweot Song," and then narry Biotlicr, the namo little boy who won tho prize, played at the "Mignon Gavotte." Part I closed with a chorus. A joyful air ran through it untouched by anything suggeBtive of a miliar key, and blessed with a tempo which entirely counteracted the effect of the doleful title, "Mother's Doad." Mr. Benjamin then announcod that the curtain would remain down for fifteen miuntes or more while tho cesumes for Part II were being donned. Part II.

opened with tho "Children's Carnival March," by Mr. Benjamin. This was followed by a chorus, "Tho Mill," and then camo tho only features of tho evening that really morited the applause they received. Thoy were littlo Eva Mudge with specialties and song and dance. Miss Jessie Bradbury with fancy dancing, and another protty miss whose name did not appear in the programme, but who waB, nevertheless, a graceful aud captivating dancer.

The boys "Whistled for Katie" and all the little ones joined in the "Song of tho Steeple." Miss Bradbury aud Mias Mudge then danced again. N. P. Hartmann, the young man who chooHes to call himself colonol and who wears an insignia of military rank to whioh ho is net ontitled, went through some mysterious maneuvers which created fu in. the gallery and sympathy in other parts of the houso.

Tho exhiDition was painfully tame. Mr. Benjamin made a little speech at its closcreforrine to the comments from tho gallery as words from these who could not afford to come down stairs. He went on to Bay that Hartmann was a Brooklyn boy and that be wore over $20,000 worth of medals and was champion driller of tlu world, etc. Ho wound up by passing the allegod prodigy a basket of flowr and pinning another medal upon liis breast, which, ho Baid, was presented by the pupils of public school No.

37. The finale consisted of a march led by Misa Lillin Benjamin and including about fifty g'rls dreascd in contrasting costumes of pale shades, Hartmann put a company of sixtoou girls through a simple drill. "Nero" will bo repeated this evoning and tomorrow aftornoou. FANCY PRICKS FOIt THOROUGHBREDS. TwcMty nix: HUornes of ttae Lale Senator Hearat'w Stabloe Bring 31'iSlOO.

It was those who would re elect Mr. Harrison. A party was like a man it had its time to bs born and its time to die. Its time to be born was wheu it was needed and its time to diu was when life had no further use for it. Therein it diQ'erod from man.

The time for tho Republican party to die was yet afar off. An exception to the rule mien be found in tho Domoctnttio party. That had lived boyond its period of usefulness. A party that would win to day must stand lor principle. The desire to nossers office was the weaknosa of all partios.

Nowhere now was a nomination equivalent to an election. If the farmers wore not met by both parties in a sympathetic way thoy would ho omul in 18U2 occupying a sub htantial political edifice of their own. ih Re. publican party stood for honesty Hi public ollice. As proof of that it was only necessary to point to tho present administration.

It favored holiest elections, it stood for a navy that would not have a peer in the world, it believed in tho smbsidizing of American vessols, it believed in reciprocity and the McKinley bid, it believed that restrictions should be placed upon immigration. I hose were important quostious. It the party stood by thein it might look forward with conndenco to the future. ApplauBe. After a song Mr.

Bernard Teters was introduced am! spoke to the sentiment, "Our Opportunities." Ho Baid that ho remembered when, tho grandfather of the present chief magistrate was a candidate for the presidency; ho remomberod eell till. I Jl ITI OCVa till OSrtV WAS intrenched in every ollico within the gift of the nation. It was in the days when the slavo holding aristocracy had full power. But finally all the cruelty and injustice of those were banished by war. The Republican party saved the nation.

The fear of centralization, which BOine men still cherish, was a mere figment of the brain. What it was needed to preserve intact was the union of the entire states, if there was a party that aimed for such a preservation it was tho Republican party, which had saved the nation twenty eight years ago. What would be the condition to day if the South had succeeded? Anyone could see tho advantages which Europe and England would have derived from such a result. England favored the confederacy becauso if the latter had succeeded it expected to find a great market within it. If the North had lost, tho wealth, grandeur aud greatness of the countiy would have disappeared.

He regretted that there should bs anyone who doubted the great victory which tho Republican party had won. If he wore a Domocrat he would not consent to ever agaiti place the government in the hands of the South. Outside of tho cities of Brooklyn and New York thore was no Democratic party in the North. Democrats voted like so many sheep they went as the managers di ructed. There were independents in the Republican party a good many of them.

There were but few to be found in the Democratic ranks ox cept in times of crises. Ho thought thai one ot those times would be here next tall. With such an opportunity the party shonld step to tho front and bo found for strong, pure and healthy government. If Benjamin Harrison wero renominated he would upuort. him.

He did not think it probable that James G. Blaine would ever asain he a candidate for the presidency. Mr. William U. Williams was the next speaker.

He spoke for tho city of Brooklyn. In Hart ho said: There is, perhaps, no city in this country, with as largo a propertiou of tts inhabitants as comfortable as ours. We occupy a unique position. It'e liava f'oivef transient visitors than any city in the world. And yet there is no city that olfei such advautagos to tho student of home life and of political life that Brooklyn does.

Touching the events that have brought us here to night I may say that the young men havu done a great deal toward providing the clean, pure, comfortable homos that surround us. The establishment of such clubs as this purifies thw political atmosphere. I am sure that there could be nothing better happen to the Republican party than to have clubs like this in ovary ward. The influence which they might exercise would bo no small one. The trouble with tho Republican party iu this city is that it has allowed itself to be carried away by side issues and split up into factions.

I believe in party government and take no stock in independents. The beat government to be obtained is that with a. compact party organization back of it. No free government exist to day without the responsibility of party organization to support it. in tho long run, wheu tho component elements of any party thoughtfully and intelh gehtlv map out the policy of a party, wu get the best government in city, stato and nation.

In lirooiilyn tho time has come when Republicans who believe in their parly slioul 1 select candidate and pledge ta the people responsibility f.r them. believe that it will be possible for the Republican party this yoar to succeed if it names men for whom it can bo responsible. I believe that when tho Republican partv does its host, it may be defeated, it yut liaitis a victory, becauso it forces its opponents to put forth their best men. Applause.

Perfect congeniality and sociability reigned and the efforts of the entertainment committee wero rewardo 1 by seeing that no one appeared to feel ill at easo but participated in the pleasures freely and without embarrassment. There was no attempt to carry out a special programme, and it was aimed to have everything entirely informal.

Tho young peoplo and their friends arranged themselves about tho room in groups, an 1 with chatting and conversation made the time pass all too soon. Now and thou thore would be a request for music, which would invariably lind response. Dr. Huduut regaled the audience with several choice solos, which bo iileasod tho listeners that encore selections would alone appease their demonstration. Instrumental music was rendered with more than ordinary merit by the Be lford banj i club, an organization which has already won quite a number of laurels.
