a a a a a a a a a a a A A A THE BROOKLYN TIMES. TUESDAY, MARCH 1, 1898. 3 THE MAYOR VOTED NO On the Resolution to Pay Off Some Inspectors. BUT IT DIDN'T DO ANY GOOD. THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE REFUSES TO BE BOSSED.

Van Wyck Expresses Himself For.cibly About Hospital ManagementCity Owes for Coal. Mayor Van Wyck found out yeste day that he could quite run the Estimate. "The discovery was forced upon his Honor by a motion made DV Corporation Counsel Whalen to refer a communication from the Health Department to the Comptroller, which communication stated that the Bureau for the Inspection of Mercantile Establisnments been abolished on February 10, and that Corporation Counsel had decided that the employees were entitled to the pay up to that date. The Health Department officials asked for $2,279.72 to pay these men. Almost before the clerk had finished reading the communication the Mayor do half rose from his chair anI said most emphatic tones: "What is the use fixing estimates yere (this is is the way his Honor here) if these people can come back and ask for more.

They can pay this sum out of the money fixed for that department. Let the departments know that they can have no more money. So far 88 I am concerned they cannot." The Mayor voted "no" on Mr. Whalen's motion to refer, and Tax Commissioner Feltner followed his lead. The other three members voted in the affirmative.

The Mayor forgot to announce the result the vote, but he brought up the matter shortly afterward by requesting that the resolution be reread. "This matter ought to be considered," said he, "the books of the Health Board for last year and the year before are in a muddle. I have been unable to get a. trial balance of them for last month. I was obliged to send an expert bookkeeper up there this morning.

Mr. Whalen thereupon moved a reconsideration of the resolution and the motion WAS adopted. Then he moved that the request of the Health Board be referred to the Comptroller with the proviso that he instruct the Board that the salaries must be paid from the fixed appropriation. The Mayor objected to this and the motion was lost, only Messrs. Coler and Guggenhelmer voting in the affirmative.

Mayor expressed himself forcibly later when the report of the Commissioners of Accounts on the accounts of the Hospital for the Relief of Ruptured and Crippled Children was read. This showed that $59,169.80 had been received from patients which should have been deducted from bills rendered to the city and were not. Also that the city had been charged forty-one cents a day for 7.848 days for patients in free beds and 85.347 days for the care of patients placed there by non-residents. There were other apparent Irregularities, and the Mayor said that "the report showed a very loose method of doing business in that hospital." Whereupon Comptroller Coler remarked that he had found another quite as bad. The Gates Avenue Homeopathic Dispensary asked for an appropriation and the Mayor moved that the matter be referred to the Comptroller asking at the same time whether it was one of the institutions mentioned in the Charter.

A request from President Keller of the Charities Department, asking for $2.534.67 to pay for coal already distributed to the poor and for the payment of salaries of coal Inspectors for: January was laid aside. AT THE FOOD SHOW. Aid Solicited for the Suffering Cubans. The Board of OMcers of United Retail Grocers' Association last night thee in the old Thirteenth Regiment Armory, where the Food Show is in progress, and Mr. J.

A. Heckman. Chairman of the Cuban Relief Committee, Merchants and Manufacturers' Board of Trade. presented the subject of relief for Cuba. The Board resolved to request the manager of the Food Show to enlist the sympathies of the exhibitors.

It was suggested that they could donate many of the packages that were broken, but which thoy would not care to take back to their warehouses. It was sald that many of the exhibitors stood ready to make such donations. The Board of Officers also recemmended to the grocers of Brooklyn to assist in 1 this good work. If the grocers will send their donations to armory on or before Monday next, they will be collected by the Cuban Relief Committee. Mr.

Heckman said, in speaking of the action of the Board, that this was the Arst action taken by any Grocers' Association in this State, and he believed that other associations would follow SO good a lead. Last night the armory was crowded with a fine class of visitors, and the vaudeville was listened to with delight. Lew Hawkins was especially favored by applause, his "hits" being appropriate timely. Every afternoon and evening "Star Spangled is played by Prof. Mygrant's Thirteenth Regiment Band.

The assemblage the fair last night was disappointed at the non-appearance of Annabelle. Annabelle will for the remainder of the appear at 9 o'clock, instead of 10, as had been scheduled, 5 o'clock in the afternoon. To-night, in addition to Lew Hawkins, Annabelle and Elsie Martense, Wenster and Mrs. Spangehl will sing. They are well-known amateurs.

To-morrow night the popular cakewalk wil! be repeated for the last time. Among the many exhibits that attract attention is that of the Maypole Soapdye, the success of which, in London, England, induced the Maypole Company to introduce it to their American sins. It will dye any material, silk, satin, cotton, lace, woollen mixture of ton and wool. any color and without staining hands. In presence of 80 many invaluable claims, one can easily conceive why It becomes necessary to the company give practical demonstrations.

These are given by two young ladies, the Misses Mary 'Hearn and Mary McEvoy, who appear to be thoroughly versed in the art of dyeing and who seem to enjoy the work. The exhibit here is in charge of Mr. Ernest Drevet. The booth is one of the most attractive at the exposition. Two Klondikers Found Frozen.

MONEY IN SIGHT FOR NEW BRIDGE. COMPTROLLER COLER PROMISES AN ALLOWANCE BY FRIDAY. Board Prepares to Oppose Claim of Old Commissioners and Justifles Mayor Van Wyck's Action. President Nixon, at a special meeting of the new East River Bridge Commission yesterday afternoon, announcel that Comptroller Coler had assured the Commission that at their meeting on Friday a check for $500,000 would be placed in their hands to meet the immediate needs of the Commission. The Commissioners present Included President Nixon, Vice President Boyle, Secretary Lane, Treasurer Boyle and Messrs.

Moore and Weber, while Assistant Corporation Counsel George Hill was also present to advise the Commission in the matter of the quo warranto proceedings begun by the oll Board. At the conclusion of the meeting PresIdent Nixon reply to an inquiry said: "We have had papers served on us, of course, but we referred the whole matter to the Corporation Counsel. You understand that it was upon the strength of the Corporation Counsel's advice that the removals were made. We have taken every necessary step with regard to this matter and we have decided that Mr. Hill and Secretary Lane shall appear at Albany on Thursday to look after our interests.

We have no doubt but what the Mayor's action was legitimate, and that his appointments will continue in office. The claims of the old Commission are scarcely consistent with the facts." President Nixon cited the case of the Aqueduct Commission, who were also removed by the Mayor, and who, he said, were even more strongly entrenched in their than had been the first Commission the new East River Bridge. The Commission will meet again on Friday afternoon when Mr. Hill's report of the proceedings at Albany will be submitted. BILL TO CLOSE SHORE ROAD DEAD.

PRESIDENT KENNEDY POSITIVELY ASSURED TO THAT EFFECT. Result of Interviews With Congressmen in Washington -Senator's View 00 the War Situation. Elijah R. Kennedy, the President of the Shore Road Commission, visited Washington last week ani this morning the following statement for publication: "I want to repeat the statement that Congressmen Bennett, Hurley and Driggs were all very prompt in assuring me that they would do what they could to prevent the passage of the bill to close up that section of the Shore road which extends through the Government property. Congressman Fischer, however, is entitled to the credit of having effectually screwed down the coffin lid on the proposition.

I saw Congressman Mahany, of Buffalo, who is on the sub-committee of the Committee on Military Affairs, in which the pending bill is, and he gave me the most positive assurances that the bill would not be favorably reported, telling me that Mr. Fischer had thoroughly explained the matter and convinced him that the bill ought not to be reported, and had made a very strong personal request of him which he should not disregard. "I talked with one of the Senators who is on the Committee on Foreign Atfairs. He a asked me what the conservative business men of the country thought about the outlook in regard to war or peace. I did not hesitate to assure him that I believed the business men of the country unanimously deprecatel the efforts that being made by falsehood.

misrepresentation and sensational publications to create a war sentiment. The Senator replied that he wished the co conservative sentiment of the country would make itself heard by some expressions that would be understood in Washington. He had no fear of trouble with Spain growing out of the wreck of the Maine. The Senator believed it was utterly inconceivable that the Spanish Government WAS directly or indirectly responsible for that disaster and he felt sure that Spain woull promptly and cheerfully make any reparation which facts might show was due if the disaster was not entirely an unpreventable accident: but he said he thought a more exciting cause was shortly to become public. The reports of all the United States Consuls are roe coming in, and when they are published they will show such a horrible condition existing on the island as will arouse the sympathles of the civilized world and will especially arouse the sentiment of sympathy for Cuba in this country.

At that, time it may be impos-. sible to withstand the sentiments of humanity and the pressure of an excited public in this country unless the cooler and soberer and more responsible elements in the community insist that the Government take time to thoroughly reflect upon the disclosures which it is now believed will be of the dreadful character The Chairman Remembered.

CROOKER. He is a Unitarian, of Troy, and Assailed the Editorial Utterances of Dr. Abbott and Pleaded for Honesty. TROY, N. March Record, of this city, yesterday contained the following report of a sermon preached on Sunday by the Crooker: At the Unitarian Church yesterday morning, the pastor, the Rev.

Joseph H. Crooker, took as his subject "The Fall of Lyman Abbott." Mr. Crooker said, in we undertake to discuss a religious faith unlike our own, the moral law lays upon us the following obligations: We must know that faith thoroughly, we must appreciate it fully and we must state it fairly. All these obligations are violated in a recent editorial entitled, 'To Liberal in the Outlook for February 5, 1898, presumably by the Rev. Dr.

Lyman Abbott, and if not from his pen, certainly printed with his approval, MO that he must be held responsible for it. In it occurs this statement: 'Unitarianism passed by successive stages from the spiritual liberaliam of Channing into a transcendental TheIsm, a frigid Deism and finally an ostentatiously undevout Ethical It would be impossible to find anywhere in equal space a greater number of reprehensible untruths than are contained in this short sentence, which is absolutely false from beginning to end. "Let a few simple facts, selected from 0 multitude that ought to be the common knowledge of every intelligent man, be the sufficient answer to this strange falsification. While Unitarians have looked with friendly Interest upon the work of the Ethical Culture societies, the fact is that, without exception, the leaders in that new movement have kept away from our ranks, because the Unttarian churches would not take the ethical culture position, refusing to abandon prayer, belief in God and worship. The one thing most prominent in the new life of the Unitarian body is the deepening of the religious spirit, the increasing emphasis on worship, the greater earnestness for the spiritual life.

Instead of moving toward whatever negative side ethical culture may have, we have been moving in the opposite direction toward: a larger religious enthusiasm. "This deepening of our religious life in recent years 1s illustrated by the hearty and unanimous adoption at our National Conference in 1894 of this statement: 'These churches accept the religion of Jesus, holding, in accordance with His teaching, that practical veligion is summed up in love to God and love to "A further illustration is found in the almost universal adoption in recent years by our churches and Sunday Schools of the following motto: 'The Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood Leadership of Jesus, Salvation by Character. the Progress of Mankind Upward and Onward This does look like a lapse from Channing's spiritual liberalism toward an 'ostentatiously undeethical uRned far worse than Dr. Abbott's misrepresentation of Unitarians is his most pernicious advice in this editorial to liberal ministers in orthodox pulpits. The ordination vows made by every man who goes into an orthodox pulpit bind him to preach, as long as he occupies that pulpit, certain doctrines, described in creed, confession or book of discipline.

No freedom of growth. or progress is allowed. It is assumed that the scheme of theology imposed is the final and absolute form of religious truth. As Unitarians, we condemn such creed subscription. We Insist that dogmas are not the proper basis of religious organization.

But as long as this system prevails. we contend that a man should loyal to his obligation. And as long as a man sincerely believes the creed to which he subscribed, he must command universal respect. However narrow his creed, this man is himself safe and he exerts a saving influence. When, however, a minister outgrows the creed and rejects essential and important parts of it, the only honorable course is to leave that pulpit.

"It is from this position of common honesty that Dr. Abbott falls when he gives the following advice: 'We say, therefore, to every liberal minister, in a conservative church, stay where you are and preach the truth as God gives you to see the truth, without fear or And he might have added. 'But with dishonor and the contempt of all earnest Most excellent counsel, if those ministers had not taken a solemn vow to do something exactly opposite. Entirely proper, if they had not pledged themselves not to grow. A worthy course, if the pulpits in which they stand were not dedicated to definite doctrines, to the teaching of which they themselves were solemnly set apart.

"In seeking support for this unwise and immoral teaching. Dr. Abbott implies that it was a great misfortune that Luther left the mother church. But for one, I cannot so cover with dishonor the heroic Protestant and ignore the blessings which his followers won for me and the rest of mankind. He calls It a mistake that the Puritans separated from the Anglican church.

But for one, cannot disown my Puritan blood and cover with condemnation the glory of Hooper and Cartwright, John Milton a and John Robinson. Has it come to this, that the successor of Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth should belittle our Puritan inheritance and become an advocate to the church, whether right or wrong? "Dr. Abbott pleads in substance. 'No matter what creed you signed, it you disbelieve important parts of it. preach your new thought with tact, but remain in the church built upon that creed.

which you subscribed, but now reject. And for warrant, he appeals to Paul, who. Dr. Abbott contends, remained a Jewish rabbi to the end and continued to preach his 'new theology' to Jewish congregations. A more ignoble use of Paul's great name could not be imagined; an example more clearly in condemnation of his position could not be found.

Paul did not complacently remain a mere rabbi. content with the forms and faiths of the old synagogue. He went out and organized new churches upon the basis of his real faith. And when Paul preached to Jewish congregations it was not. after the manner of some liberal orthodox ministers of to-day.

His parishioners have a right to demand that he be loyal to -its doctrines; the world has a right to expect that he will obey his ordination vows. If he does not, is as immoral as A man who sends me goods unlike the samples from which I made my order. But a position equally immoral is what Dr.

Abbott's language implies. If you have new truth, say it, no matter about the prayer book. But I say, be loyal to the prayer book while you use it. If you have a new truth, MRS. LUCY GOODWIN Suffered four years with female troubles.

Francis W. Howard, of Manhattan, continued his lecture on "'The Problem of the Trust' before an interested andience at the Brooklyn Institute, last evening, taking as his special subject "'The Evolution of Trusts the Civil War." Prof. ard said that the history of the trust sents two aspects-on the one side, it is history of production on a large scale: on the other, the growth of centralized control. The speaker referred to the marvelous growth of some of the trusts and then took up the history of the Standard Oil Company as typical trust organization. Transportation advantages, afforded by favor of the railroads, which skill or busin'ss ability on the part of no.

competitor's was able to overcome, was given by the speaker as the primary cause of the growth and establishment of the enormous mono; oly. The passage of the Inter-State Commerce bill put a stop to partal discrimination. The company had obtained such a start that none of its rivals could catch up with it. The representatives of the trusts maintain, the speaker said, that their control trade is justified by the cheapening of prices and the superiority of the service they are thus enabled to render. Legislators, on the contrary, put the question of control of trade on the ground of public policy.

The domination of the trust is a matter affecting not only prices and market, but social conditions, and that to a profound ext -nt. It the trust gives us cheaper prices, may it not also give us cheaper men? And is not society better off with higher markets than prevail under trusts, if the industrial independence and manhood of the individual citizen is thereby preserved Prof. Howard will speak on Character istics of Industries next Monday evening.
