The Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereln is looking for a park of its own and the trustees of the society, at yesterday's meeting of the delegates at Fidelity Hall, DeKalb avenue, on motion ot Otto Peters of- the Brcmervoerders, were instructed to consider the advisability of purchasing a large park, where the volksfest and other picnics of the Plattduetsche societies may be held, as has been done by the Manhattan societies at their Union Hill Park tor many years. The trustees were requested to report as early as possible, so that next year's festival eventually may be held by the "Vereln" at the Plattduetsche Park. In case another park will be selected for next year's festival, estimates will be secured from the proprietors of the largest parks as to what amount will bo contributed by them for the beneficent purposes of the society. By this year's festival only $1.0110 were netted. The Lamstedters, who recently joined the association, will have their new delegates present at the next monthly meeting.

4 MEETING CALLED FOR TO NIGHT. CAMPBELL MORGAN ON CHRIST. Residents of the Village Do Not Want Their Children Sent to Jamaica or Flushing. English Preacher Writes a New Study of Critical Periods in Life of Jesus. INDUSTRIAL MISSISSIPPI.

Fisk Robinson of New York have Just issued a booklet entitled "Industrial Mississippi." written by Elisha Walker. The object of the book is to show the marked progress of the South in recent years, and especially of the State of Mississippi, and also to indicate the growth of the country adjacent to the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. The book is elaborately illustrated ith pictures taken along this road which show tho cotton industry in its various brauches; lumbering, the new piers and terminals at Oulfport and views of the principal towns. The writer spent over six weeks in southern Mississippi investigating conditions so that all information given might be reliable. The book treats principally of the southern part of Mississippi, known as the Long Leaf Pine Belt, but also discusses at considerable length the whole state, and gives statistics FIGHTING SMOKE NUISANCE.

No little discussion was aroused during the early part of this year by the meeting in Chicago of "The Religious Education Association," which was held in the belief that tho tine had come for a forward movement toward the improvement of religious instruction In this country; the suggestion that such meeting be held was sharply combated by part ot the religious press, but was heartily annroved hv nrnminent educators.

of its growth since 1880 in both farming and manufacturing. As cotton is necessarily the chief product of the state apart from lumber, it calls attention to the fact that Mississippi Is second only to Louisiana in the average yield per acre of this staple, and furthermore, that the counties along the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad give practically as high Before you go home Crescent Athletic Club, at Bay Ridge, where Captain Forshew, commander of the Second Battalion, came alongside the Aileen on board the battalion launch Oneida. Captain Forshew gave instructions to Ensign Hamilton. The Aileen then started on a run to the headquarters of the First Battalion, in Manhattan, where she picked up Lieutenant Barnard, navigator of the First Battalion, who took command of the Aileen. The vessel at this point also picked up a few petty officers of the Fourth Division.

Lieutenant Barnard set his course for Hempstead harbor. Ensign Hamilton took his command as officer of the deck and had watches set. He appointed Boatswain's Mate Chapman chief boatswain's mate for the trip, First Class Gun Captain Massa as first class boatswain's mate of the starboard watch, First Class Gun Captain Kelsey as second class boatswain's mate of the starboard watch. First Class Gun Captain Townsend as first class boatswain's mate of the port watch, First Class Gun Captain Newman as second class boatwain's mate of the port watch. The Aileen dropped anchor in Hempstead harbor.

An anchor watch was then set and a liberty party went asjiore at Sea Cliff. Tho men went about the town trying to lind a grocery store open, so as to get provisions. It being late, everything was closed up and they went back on board without buying anything. They ran across a number of men from the Fourteenth and Twenty-third regiments, who were camping at Sea Cliff over Sattirday night. Anchor was weighed early Sunday morning and the course of the ship was set for Huntington harbor, where a target was dropped overboard and everything was made ready for target practice.

The firing was under Ensign Hamilton, who was well pleased with the shooting. The shooting took place while a high ground swell was rolling and quite a gnlo blowing, which made the shooting rather hard. A number of hots went through the target, showing that the Fourth Division has good marksmen in its ranks. The vessel was then brought about and headed for Brooklyn on the return trip. The Aileen made a run through tho bay as far as Sandy Hook and return to her moorings at the foot of Fifty-sixth street.

In the chapters relating to the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad the writer considers at length the location and strategic position of the road, the financial position and management of the company, the harbor and terminals at Gulfport and the industries and towns along the railroad. The future of Gulfport as an importing and exporting city is considered at length.

THE APOCRYPHAL BOOKS. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaglo: Please inform a constant reader, through the columns of your valued paper, why the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company is permitted to burn soft coal at itB Third avenue power house. PARK SLOPEU. Brooklyn, September 19, 11103. A number of complaints have been received of late by Dr.

Joseph H. Raymond, tho local health olilcer, concerning the use of soft coal at the Third avenue power house of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Inspector Melody was sent to Investigate and he found that the charges wer.o true. Friday morning he caused the arrest of John Winters, the engineer at the power house, alleging that on two occasions he burned soft coal in violation of the law. There were two complaints against Winters, one that he burned soft coal at the power house on the 14th and another that he burned Boft coal at the place on tho lBth, The accused was in court and pleaded not guilty and was held for the Court of Special Sessions.

Charles M. demons, engineer at the power house of the DeKalb avenue line, at DeKalb and Central avenues, had a similar charge made against him. He, too, was held by Magistrate Naumer for the action of tho Court of Special Sessions. ministers, religious editors. Sunday school workers, Y.

M. C. A. officers and principals of schools. The "Proceedings of the First Convention." which has just been published is a noteworthy volume and undoubtedly voices a demand for an Improvement in the methods of religious Instruction; one of the imperative needs for this forward movement was well set forth by tho itev.

Hr. W. C. Bitting, pastor of the -lt. Morris Baptist Church, Manhattan, who declared In his address: "Think of the young men and women in our Institutions of learning, and the boys and girls in our public and private schools, who six days in the week are taught to study all subjeots according to processes and canons of Investigation dominated by the modern scientific spirit, which Is only another name for normality; is It at all surprising that they soon feel the wide difference between tho methods used in secular training and those employed by agencies for religious instruction? Must It not seem to them very queer than processes so essential in secular education are unused If not unknown In sacred learning, so far as tliey can discover? Ought it to surprise us if these students soon come to believe that a subject is not worth studying at all which is not worth studying on Sunday according to methods that yield rich fruits in other spheres on week days? Who can tell how much ignorance of and indifference to religious truth Is due to the discrepancy and disparity between tho Intellectual methods employed In the pursuit of secular and sacred truth? If some 'next steps forward' can save these multitudes of students from the penalties of ignorance about religious things, or the Ehuhursl.

L. Septen.ber 21 Tho people in this village, especially those who have children attending the high school in this village, are very much agitated over the report that In a short time there will be changes in the high schools in Queens Borough, and the high school in this place will be abolished and the scholars will be transferred to cither Jamaica, Long Island City or Flushing. These rumors have been persistent for the last Bix weeks, but, not much attention was paid to them until recently, when It wa3 learned that the stories that had been told about the removal of the high school from this village in a very short time were practically true, for the information was given out by one who is in authority and who knows all about the plan, and who also intimated that the people would have to work strenuously lo keep tho high school here, and would have to do so very soon, or else their labors would amount to nothing. Should these plans be carried out as has been rumored, a greater setback could not be inflicted upon this place, and it would be disastrous. The children here would be compelled to undergo a journey on the trolley twice every school clay in all kinds of weather, which would not only be dangerous to health, but, to the life and limbs of the children, while the extra expense thai would be entailed might mean that some of the younger generation would be unable to obtain the education which their parents desire for them.

It is held that there is no necessity for such a change as is contemplated, as the village is rapidly growing and the school building is new. well situated and easily accessible from all parts of the Second Ward. The school is a high school and enjoys all the privileges as surh, except the official designation, tf this contemplated change was made, it would not be a matter of economy, for the same teachers would have to be employed In the same school that this one was merged with. The pupils that attend the High School in this village come from Winiield, Corona. Ridgewood and Corona Heights.

At the meeting of the Klmhurst Citizens Club this evening this subject will be the principal topic for discussion, and it will be endeavored by the members to ascertain whether or not this place is to lose the High School and why. spirited meeting Is looked for, as this subject, with that of free delivery of the mails in this place are the two principle ones that are agitating the residents of this and surrounding villages.

She brought 115 passengers, all she can carry, and a great cargo of cigars, tobacco, hides, guava jelly, hides, orange, banana leaves, cocoanut leaves, cocoanuts and sugar. There is no doubt that the resources of Porto Rico ari being rapidly developed under the new conditions, and that many products of the Island that were hitherto useless will find a ready market In this country.

LABOR INDORSES BOULTON. The Brooklyn Central Labor Union at yesterday's meeting put the "union label" on Alfred J. Boulton's candidacy for sheriff in a resolution, unanimously adopted, Indorsing the action of the Citizens Union conference in declaring in favor of Mr. Boulton's nomination on the Fusion ticket. The resolution attests Mr.

Boulton's "loyalty as a unionist and his sterling honor as a man." Continuing, the resolution asserts that "no taint of suspicion of wrongdoing ever rested upon him. Because of his ability, integrity and unselfish devotion he has come into high regard and respect, both within and without the labor movement. In office or out of office no temptation can, we believe, swerve him from his loyal adherence to the cause of labor. As an unspotted reputation was the only thing that Boulton has ever sought for himself, the Central Labor Union gives to him and such leaders as he a clear certificate of character." JMll'MIIIWlill Carl Fique May Conduct prospect Park Concert Next Sunday. The accident that befel Enill Reyl, musical director of the United Singers, during the storm of Tuesday last, when, in closing a window of his residence, he fell and sprained his ankle, seems to have been more serious than was at llrst thought, and on request of -Mr.

Keyl Carl Pique, musical director of the Brooklyn Quartet Club, conducted yesterday's rehearsal fur the concert to be given at Prospect Park next Sunday. The reheasal was well attended, about singers being present, and Mr. Fique was very much pleased with the rendering of the songs. There will be another rehearsal, with orchestra accompaniment, on Sunday afternoon, before the concert, at Nlcder-stein's. Mr.

Keyl, however, will be informed by the officers of the society that the rehearsal suggested by Mr. Keyl for Saturday night cannot be arranged. At the same time he will be informed that, if Mr. Reyl has not yet recovered, the concert will be conducted by Mr. Fique.

Mr. Reyl's letter, coming not earlier than Saturday, was somewhat of a surprise to the officers and the members of the music committee of the association, the latter not even having been consulted as to the selection of temporary conductor. The opinion prevailed that Mr. Fique ought to be selected at once as conductor next Sunday's concert. It was decided, however, to see whether Mr.

Reyl recovers sufficiently by next Sunday and will agree to conduct the singers without having held another rehearsal. Mr. Reyl, ajter having resigned as conductor of the Lleiier-kranz. has been in a somewhat awkward situation, as it has been customary for the United Singers' conductor to be at the same time the conductor of one of the societies connected with the organization. It was said yeBtorday that Mr.

Reyl might, eventually resign before the end of his term in January, because, under the existing circumstances, a re-election was not very likely to be expected. Dr. Felix Jaeger of the Williamsburgh Saengerbund. who was mm of the festival conductors at the IJronklyn Saengerfcst in 1000, has been mentioned as a candidate. If another conductor is desired by the singers.

A Decorated Cloth, the "Slaughter of the Soven Martyr Children and Their Mother," by order of Anli-ochus, for refusing to defile themselves by eating swine's flesh. The editor, in his introduction, gives the story of the Maccabean movement, first accounting for the name, Maccabee, which was originally the surname of Judas, third son of Matthias, and the terra Maccabee was afterward applied to his kinsmen generally, and even to all who resisted the tyranny of the Syrian kings. It was particularly associated with tho seven brethren, the story of whose cruel martyrdom under Antlochus Epiphancs is told in 2 Mace, and whose mother Is accordingly designated by early Christian writers "The Mother of the Maccabees." The reader is furnished with sketches of what led to the Maccabean revolt; the wars of the Maccabees; the leadership of Jonathan tho High Priest; the administration of Simon, high priest and ethnarch; the style of the book; its original language and unity; date and authorship; sources; historical credibility; religious standpoint; use in the Christian Church, and its chronology. Added to the text of the two books is an extensive body of notes which are of great assistance to the studious reader. It is invaluable as a source of Instruction.

To these are added genealogical and chronological tables which make the book complete. The Rev. Archibald Duff, D. LL.D., as editor of the first and second books of Esdras, begins his introduction with an evident desire to have readers and students fairly comprehend the significance of the word "apocryphal" as applied to the un-canonlcal Scriptures, After admitting the feeling on the part of some believers of a certain qualm when they see the apocryphal books bound up with the Bible, the editor says: "Let us pause to reflect what 'canonical' means to us, and while our creeds and our Greek warn us that 'the canon Is the rule of faith and very few do look to canonical books to find either. Neither one sort of men among us nor another studies Leviticus for such ends, although, verily, it was meant as a stern rule of both faith and practice in its time; and even Romans has scarcely ever been counted as practically canonical In such sense.

The words 'canonical' and 'apocryphal' have practically been always and purely esthetic distinctions." Gently does the editor lead his reader, or, say, his disciple, to I and II Esdras as foundations of Christ truth and Christ spirit. He assumes that the Christian not only needs Esdras, but needs it to assist htm In studying and in comprehending Christ, and he makes out a good case. Then he discusses the origin of both books of B'sdras. nnd passes to the analysis of their contents, and in this part of his work pours the rays of a loving heart and a thinking mind upon the text. He seeks to subdue the heart of the searcher after God, as If to Impel him to the exclamation: "My Lord and my God, I know Thee now." A short statement of the doctrines of religious views of Esdras II amply prepares the reader for the text of the books.

He emerges from the Introduction like a true graduate fortified for the examination and comprehending of the books themselves. Dr. Duff shows that Esdras wns Intrusted to no careless or Indifferent trentment. His work reads like that of love as well as of profound scholarship. The frontispiece is a chaste picture of Uriel, saying, "I also will show thee the wny thou desires to see." It la reproduced from a photograph of Sir E.

Burne-Jonos' picture "The New Testament Apocryphal Writings" constitute the fourth volume of the Temple Bible edition of the Apocryphal Scriptures. The edltlor, the Rev. James Orr, D. seems to have discharged a very responsible duty in an able, conscientious and Instructive manner. In his scholarly introduction he remarks that the apocryphal literature is a study by itself, with the Intricate details of which only specialists are competent to deal.

And this aspect of that particular line of literature must reveal itself to any earnest student who undertakes to be more or less Interested In apocryphal writings. Suspicion Is born at the outset, from the fact of the uncanonlcal setting of these books; hence the student finds himself confronted with an enterprise that demands application so honest as to be without taint of prejudice. This much Is the first discovery made in the perusal of Dr. Orr's introduction. The writings gathered Into this book are "The Protevangelium of James," "The Gospel of Thomas," "The Gospel of rseudo Matthew." "The Gospel of Nloortemus." "The Gospel of Peter," "The GREAT NITRATE CARGO.

Dr. W. C. Bitting, and President J. W.

Its addresses are strong, earnest, and abound In suggest Ivenoss; numerous indexes are added. (Religious Education Association, Chicago). Among clergymen who have found this country a more productive field than their native England is the Rev.

G. Campbell Morgan, whose name has been widely advertised since he preached In the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church a few years ago. until last week, when the full Itlnerarv of his prospective visit to England and the list of churches in which ho was to preach while there was announced in the papers. Dr. Campbell Morgan does not contemplate remaining in England, but after a brief stay there will return in October, to continue his preaching here.

To the elev.ni hocks which he has already published he has just added "The Crises of tho Christ." a caption which will at once strike the thoughtful reader as something of a misnomer; however, the author of this hook thus states his belief and his purpose: "Tile literature of the church has been enriched by many lives of Jesus; some of them have emphasized the facts of His humanity, while o'hers have emphasized the truth of His tbity. All have been of value; they have, however, been largely devoted to tho contemplation of the person of Jesus, rather than to a consideration of the accomplishment of a divine work. It Is to this particular aspect of the life of Jesus Christ that the present volume is devoted. Interest in Jesus Himself is of pre-eminent importance; it Is. however, of equal importance that this wonderful life should be seen as that of the anointed Servant of Ood, the Christ, who in all the details of the passing days, was working a larger work and toward a mightier issue than a mere contemplation of the human life might seem to suggest; Indeed, the beauty 01' the life itself is only fully appreciated when it is seen as related In Its every part, to the mighty movement of Ood toward the redemption of man.

Here, therefore, aitention is to be fixed, not so much upon the words of His lips, or His working of wonders and signs, as upon His uttering of a divine word and His accomplishment of a divine work. It is for this reason that the volume Is entitled 'The Crises of the In all the works of God there is to be discovered an unvarying method of process and crisis; the process is slow and difficult to watch In its progress. This same method obtains in the work of the Christ, and in lhat method the crises, rather than the processes, form the subject of the present consideration. Of these there are seven: the initial, that of the birth of Jesus; then, secondly, the baptism; thirdly, the temptation; fourthly, the transfiguration: fifthly, the crucifixion: sixthly, the resurrection, and seventh. I he ascension.

These follow in orderly sequence, and in their entirety contain the whole story of that work by which redemption has been wrought for the race. Each of them ushered in a new order of tilings In the work of Christ, crowning that of the past, and creating the force for that which was to come." The body of tho hook contains an exposition of these themes, there being three preliminary chapters on the general subject. "The Call For Christ Man Fallen," and dealing with "Man Distanced From Cod by Sin." "Man Ignorant of God Through Sin." and "Man I'nlike Ood In Sin," while a final section Is devoted to "The Answer of Christ Man Redeemed." the subordinate themeR being "Man Restored to God by Christ." "Man Knowing God Through Christ," and "Man Made Like God In Christ." Among the many books written to set forth nn account of tho life of Jesus there Is none whleh sets forth thnt life ns this hook does, nH being pre-eminently and essentially "ihe accomplishment of a divine work." and, therefore, this volume will at once take a prominent place among the various books bearing upon the subject. It contains four copious Indexes, containing lists of subjects, poetry quoted, writers referred to and of Scripture passages quoted, by which the reader can at. once refer to the author's explanation and use of any given text.
