th. lyn wheelmen belongs to the army of new cyclers who have become enthusiasts within tho past year. His wheeling career began last February, but he liked the sport so well that he rode about five thousand miles during 1895, a good record for a novice.

He is by occupation a civil engineer and under his superintendence the macadamized roads in and about Flushing were built.

A pleasant evening was spent in the parish hall of St. Mary's church, Classen and Wllioughby avenues, on Wednesday last by a large and appreciative audience, the event being the first performance of a comic operetta by the young people of the church.

"A Merry Company, or. The Cadets' Picnic," wqb the selection. The choruses were well sustained by a chorus of twenty five voices. The scenery appropriately represented woods and a picnic grove and together with the summer costumes of those taking part was effective. The leading characters were admirably portrayed by Miss I.

Walls as the village mischief, disguised as an old woman; Mr. F. T. Reeve, a cadet, disguised as a peddlar, and Mr. Alfred S.

Hughes as captiln of the cadets. Messrs. Allan Booth and Theodore Curtis created considerable amusement as the two policemen in 3carch of the disguised peddler. The village girls were Agnes Hughes, Emma Shimeall, K. Booth, Julia Pennoyer, E.

A. Rebhann, L. Booth. C. M.

Evans, H. Weekes, C. Coll, F. Hard castle, Scofleid. Jones and Bernstein, and the cadets A.

B. Comstock, J. E. Wilson, H. W.

Knapp, Stanley Baker, H. C. Goll. L. B.

Wilson and R. Shimeall. The accompaniment to the operetta was rendered by Miss Hard castle, pianist, and Mr. B. W.

Jones, violinist, under the direction of Mr. F. M. Davidson. Preceding the operetta a laughable farce, entitled "No Cure, No Pay," was ably presented with the following cast: Miss K.

Booth as Mrs. Languish, "a lady who, though quito wealthy, has an Idea she Is suffering from some extreme ills" Misses C. M. Evans, Penoyer, L. Evans, Shimeall a her daughters, who disguise themselves as physicians; Miss E.

Gardiner as Bdiget. the queen of the kitchen, and Miss H. Weekes as the aunt, who is very hard of hearing. A baritone solo was finely rendered by Mr. L.

Rowley Phillips, thus completing the programme for the evening. The proceeds of the entertainment are for the parish fund and Judging from the number present a substantia! amount will be raised. CHARTERS DUMBLETON. One of the most fashionable weddings that has taken place in South Brooklyn this season was that of Miss Charlotte Dumbleton of 132 Forty second street, to Mr. David John Charters of 287 Fifty fourth street.

The ceremony was held in St. Andrew's P. E. church last Wednesday evening In the presence of a large number of relatives and BROOKLYN DELEGATES TO friends. The Rev.

William N. Ackley officiated. Miss Gertrude Dumbletcn was the bridesmaid, the young Misses Lillie and Rebecca Charters the maids of honor and Mr. Richard O. Chittick groomsman.

The ushers were Charles H. Gregory, W. Marcy Wheeler, John Parish and A. E. Volckmer.

During the service "A Simple Copfesslon" was feelingly rendered by Mr. George Smythe Jackson, the organist. The Mendelssohn's march was started and the bridal party slowly proceeded down the center aisle and out of the church At the home of the bride's parents a banquet and reception was held. Many beautiful presents were received by the young couple. Mr and Mrs.

Charters come from the best families in South Brooklyn. They are much respected and beside being prominent in social circles they are connected with several church societies in St. Andrew's parish. When they return from their side at 238 Fifty fourth street ABOUT NEWSPAPERS. The fierce competition between daily newspapers in New York and the financial success achieved by the New York World through methods inaugurated in journalism by that newspaper, and copied with more or less profit by others, while enormously increasing the value and the scope of the modern newspaper in many ways', has deteriorated it in others.

To day's newspaper is far handsomer, far larger, far mors nletnro and publishes far more of the news of the nui.u uuui uie newspaper of ten or fifteen years ago. We doubt whether it is better edited. The hif fai.it wj, ii um a news standpoint, however, Is carelessness or worse. is me oany newspaper to be sensational and to secure "beats" that little effort Is made to ascertain the truth of in terviewo. reports and storiie3.

H. DAILEY. DISCLAIMING CREDIT WHICH HE SAYS DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: During last week a certain New York paner took occasion to publish a statement that I was prominently connected with a moneyed presentation made to Mis3 Mollle Fancher. As I did not desire any credit to which I was not entitled, to in rendering assistance to that unfortunate lady, I wrote a letter to the editor of that paper.

asking for its Insertion, correcting the misstate ment. After waiting several days and the cor rection not appearing. I beg to avail myself of tho columns of the Eagle, whioh is widely circulated among the friends of Miss Fancher. of this note. I took no part in raising the fund which was no generously contributed by the friends of MIL'S Fancher to her relief, and to them alone is the credit due.

The part that I have taken for her relief has been the publication of the book of her life at my expense, the proceeds of which, and copyright, go entirely to her, after the expense of printing is paid. By giving this letter a place In your columns I shall be truly grateful. A. Brooklyn, February 8, 1SSM. WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.

The Beit uutl safest storage JPlace la at tho Eaole Wahehousk a.nu Compajtt, root of Fulton at Adv. 6 VN LtCj l6WW Local Eepublicans Will Speak Them if Necessary. IS DEMANDED. Resolutions Which Will Bo Presented at the Meeting of the County CommitteeIf Consolidation Is Forced on Brooklyn the Organization Here Will Not Be Responsible for Its Certain Political Results. The committee or five appointed by Chairman Jacob Brenner of the Republican executive committee to prepare resolutions for presentation to the coucty organization opposing hasty action by the legislature on the consolidation question, met at Mr.

Brenner's offlco yesterday afternoon. All the members were present except Mr. Kramer of the Nineteenth ward. The meeting was held behind closed doors, and at its conclusion none of the conferrees would say what action had been taken other than that resolutions were framed for submission to the county committee, which will meet on Tuesday night. It is understood that the resolutions, which are carefully guarded by Mr.

Brenner, recite the feeling existing in this city, especially among Republicans, against Brooklyn being merged into New York without its people having a voice in their destiny. Governor Morton and the Republican legislature are warned to go slow and are told that the passage of the Lexow bill will result in disrupting the party here. The clean administration given this city by the Republicans during the past two years is recounted and stress is laid upon the confidence the people have in the present administration. Kings county, it is asserted, is Republican under existing circumstances and will become more so in the future if left alone. Hasty action by the present legislature will, the resolutions say, result in a Democratic majority of from 40,000 to 60,000.

A vigorous protest is made against this city being swallowed up and misgoverned by Tammany ball. The people ot this city, the resolutions say, are determined to have the matter resubmitted, and unless this is done the dominant party will be held responsible, and justly so, for arbitrary action and unwarranted interference In the people's rights. Chairman Brenner, when asked last night who would present the resolution, said the matter had not been settled. He intimated that the resolution might be changed somewhat before their introduction on Tuesday night, and that only a draft had been pre pared. From another source it was learned that there was a disposition on the part of many members of the county committee to make a direct threat to Governor Morton that if he does not listen to the voice of the Re publican organization of this county, repre senting over sixty thousand voters and use his influence for a resubmission of the question the Kings county delegation to the antlonal and state conventions will be opposed to him and would not hold itself responsible for his defeat In the event of his nomination.

It is probale that nothing definite will be done until Tuesday, when Mayor Wurster, George H. Roberts, and Jacob Brenner, chairman of the county and executive committees, who will go to Albany to see Gov ernor Morton and advise him of the real sen tlment here. The committee will be back from Albany before the county committee meets on Tuesday evening, and then 'it will be deter mined whether the more forcible language will be used, whatever resolutions are pre sented will be unanimously adopted. There is no difference of opinion among the Willis and the Worth factions. While there are a few members of the committee who are personally in favor of consolidation, they think it but just that the people of Brooklyn should at least know the terms upon which they are to be taken in.

If the consolidation resolutions do not take up the entire session of the county committee on Tuesday the contests Dendine from the Third, Twelfth and Thirteenth wards will be taken up and disposed of. The committee on organization, appointed on Friday by Chairman Roberts, will probably meet to morrow an a De ready to make a report. The time and place fixed by the state committee for holding the state convention for the election of four delegates at large to the national convention meets with the approval of local Republicans. At the next meeting of the executive committee a date will bo fixed for holding primaries for thn ol pot ion of delegates to the assembly district conven tion, wnicn will in turn choose delegates to the state convention. There will be some lively contest In many of the wards between the rival factions.

The fact that the convention is to be held in New York will suffice to bring out many candidates for the honor of being delegates, who would not be were the convention to be held in the interior or western part of the state. At the present time both factions are in favor of the of Governor Morton. Each faction will make a great struggle to show the governor who the people are. It is thought the date for the primaries win De nxed between the 10th and 15th of March. LECTURE ON GEORGE WASHINGTON TO BE GIVEN BY DR.

National Assembly in Baltimore. ALL WELL KNOWN WHEELMEN. Thoy Will Start To day for the Convention City Chief Consul Potter Already There Arranging for To morrow's Good. Roads Banquet Racing Board to Consider the Murphy Ca bar.ne Case This Afternoon. To morrow morning the national assembly of the League of American Wheelmen will meet at Baltimore, and discuss such matters as may be brought up.

It is universally conceded that this will bo by far the most important meeting of the. national body ever held. The variety of business to be brought before it goes to prove this, as well as the prominence the league has attained, to say nothing of the Interest taken In wheeling and the great increase in the number of wheelmen. As an instance of the importance of this meeting of the league representatives from all over the country, it may be mentioned that there are no less than seventy four amendments to the constitution to be acted upon. Notice of these amendments have been printed from time to time in the League of American Wheelmen Bulletin, as required by the constitution.

One of the most Important of the proposed amendments Is the one that will be offered by the chief consul of this state, Isaac B. Potter. It provides for the abandonment of the control of racing by the league. This willbefiercely combated by many league members and is not likely to pass. Indeed, the New York delegation is the only state body that has Indorsed it.

Another amendment provides for the taking of the word "amateur" from the constitution, where the qualifications for membership are described, thus permitting professional wheelmen to become members. The Murphy Cabanne case may come up THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. before the assembly. These two riders, the former of whom Is a member of the Kings County wheelmen, are now under permanent suspension tor alleged crooked riding at St Louis last fall. They will endeavor to be reinstated and if the racing board, at Its session to day, refuses to do this their friends will try to have the matter brought up in assembly.

Titus, the third rider, who was suspended at the same time, will make no attempt to secure reinstatement. He practicallv admits his guilt. The fight for the presidency of the league and the contest for the location of the national meet for 1896 will also have considerable attention. New York has been mentioned as a dark horse for the meet and there is a dark horse candidate for president from this state, Charles Cossum of PousrhkeeDsie. Out of the twenty three delegates to which New York state Is entitled in the national assembly Brooklyn was allotted five in the meeting of the state division held in New York city In December.

In addition to these five delegates, Brooklyn has two more representatives In the national body in the persons of Chief Consul I. B. Potter and ex President Charles H. Luscomb, who are members ex ofMcio. This city will therefore have a larger representation in the national assembly than anyotherclty lnthecountry except New York, which also has seven delegates.

The leader of the delegation is Chief Consul Potter, who is not only the central figure In New York so far as league matters are ooncerned, but is also one of the best known members of the national body. He has been twice elected to the office of chief consul of the state, and his work of bringing the membership of the league up to its present figure of over ten tnousand la well known among wheelmen. In the councils of the league at Baltimore this week he will be one of the most prominent figures. He has been in that city for some days past looking over the ground, and arranging for the good roads banquet, which will take place there to morrow night, he being chairman of the highway committee which has charge of the dinner. His attitude on the racing question and his hearty advocacy of the abandonment of It by the league has created a widespread discussion, and the fight over this matter will be one of the most interesting features of the assembly.

Charles H. Luscomb has not been at all prominent in league matters for the past vear or two. Previous to that time he was one of the most influential figures In wheeling circles. He was president of the league twice, and chief consul of the state three times. He is better known locally in his connection with the national guard, he being lieutenant colonel of the Thirteenth regiment.

He is also high up in masonic circles, having been for three years master of the grand lodge of the state of New York. He is a thirty second degree mason, and has held various ranks in that order. He was a park commissioner under Mayors Whitney, Chapin and Boody, being legislated out of office when the single headed commission was created. Colonel Luscomb began riding a high wheel in 1SS4, and then joined the Long Island wheelmen, with which club he has since been associated, being for five years Its president. In 1S85 he was elected captain and in 1S89 was made president, holding that office until last vear when he declined a re election.

He was the grand marshal of the good roads parade held to celebrate the completion of the cycle path last June. Colonel Luscomb is a lawyer, and it is in the latter capacity that he "will be most prominent at Baltimore. He has been retained by Humber Co. to represent that firm in the fight to secure the reinstatement of Murphy, who was employed by them at the time he was suspended for alleged crooked riding. Colonel Luscomb's wide aemmint.

ance among prominent league members will be useful to him in the contest, which mav be decided to day at the meeting of the racine beard. Durant McLean is a wheelman Dromlnort in local matters. He is a member of the Kings County wheelmen and was president of that organization last year. He was at ono time quite a racing man, when road racing was In its prime, but of late be has done little riding except on the cycle path. Ho has also been vice president, captain and trustee of the club, beside serving in minor capacities he being at present chairman of the entertainment committee.

He Is essentially an old timer in the sport, having ridden a wheel for fifteen years. At present he takes an active part in good roads work in the city, being chairman of the roads committee of the Good Reads association. His racing record will be of interest, although it deals with events now forgotten by many, although they were talked about considerably by wheelmen at the time. They are as follows: November 8, 1SST, Election day, won two mile ordinary at Wllliams burgh A. A.

track; November 4, ISflO. Electlcn day, won K. C. W. twenty five mile handicap, Elizabeth Springfield course.

In Irvlngton Jlllburn Decoration day twenty five mile handicap in June 6, ISM, first in Wheelmen's Racing league team race, fifteen miles, Irviugton Mllburn cushion tire record, August 1, 1S91, won two mile championship of L. I. A. league at Washington park; August 5, 1S9L won first place and time prize, Richfield Springs fifty mile road race.

George E. StackhouB of the South Brook Misfortune Still Presses Hard Upon His Track, ARRESTED ON A BENCH WARRANT Indicted for Forgery, Charged With Larceny and Accused of Abandonment by His Wife Just as the Clouds Were Lifting District Attorney Swoops Down Upon Him With Newly Discovered Evidence. There was nnother drop added yesterday to the cup of misery fhich Theodore Howell has been sipping for some months past. It cam in the of a bench warrant from Judge Hurt! cf the county court at the very moment when poor Howell imagined Dame Fortune was growing tired of buffeting him about. Howell is nearly CO years of age and married.

He was employed as a bookkeeper by Albert Pearsall, who is in the sawdust business in the eastern district. Last fall he was discharged and just about that time trouble began to pile up against him. Mr. Pearsall hat! him indicted for forgery, Mrs. Pearsall had him arrested for larceny and his wife.

Mrs. Howell, brought a charge of abandonment against him. Mr. Pearsall charged that after receiving notice of his dismissal from his position Howell tore and mutiiated some of the account books used in his business. Mrs.

Pearsall charged him with larceny because she said he told her he uld secure evidence against her husband, Mr. Pearsall, on which a decreo of divorce could be obtained. She gave him as a retainer and he produced his evidence. But when Mrs. Pearsall investigated the supposed facts fcr which she had paid the money it is said she found there wasn't two dollars' wcrth or in fact anything: on which to build any kind of a suit.

On December IS the forgery indictment against Howell eamo up before Justice Clement, who was then a criminal term of the city court. Howell had been ready for trial. but the prosecution was not, and Judge Clement discharged the defendant on his own recognizance. The larceny charge was held in abeyance, and yesterday the charge of abandonment was dismissed, as It was shown that Howell, with all his troubles, was in no condition to support his wifo in any way. The clouds seem to be rolling away and Judge Hurd had just blotted his signature on the crdcr discharging Howell from the bond, under which he had been held, when the district attorney made his appearance and secured the defendant's rearrest on a bench warrant issued by Judge Hurd, on the strength of newly discovered evidence on the forgery charge.

Mr. Howell smiled sadly and simply remarked that he was ready to go back to Raymond street or anywhere else. But he declares that his troubles are the result of a conspiracy and that the hard hand of the law has been turned against him because he in some way incurred the enmity of Mr. Pearsall. DR.

BUELL TELLS STORIES. SOME SHORTCOMINGS OF CERTAIN PULPIT ORATORS. The Rev. Dr. Marcus B.

Buell of Boston, who delivered the address of the day at the Methodist preachers' meeting on. Monday last, was exceedingly censorious regarding preaching that fails to hit the mark. In an address that was full of points he commented harply on misapplied zeal, want of knowledge, egotism and sensationalism on the part of many preachers. Kis address was replete with anecdotes, all of which had a moral to them. He spoke of a group of clergymen, who cn a certain occasion were discussing the question of the higher criticism when ono of the assemblage asked what was meant by the phrase, higher criticism, which Inquiry was followed by an ominous silence amihA Tact that no person present could tell wnat It was.

He cited, amid much laughter, the remark made recently by the Rev. Wayland Hoyt "that there are people who would not kuow higher criticism if he were walking down Broadway." He said earnestness waa a good thing, but it must be accompanied by understanding. The speaker recalled the fact that among sportsmen there was a current phrase, that it was a bad thing for a horse to have mettle in the eye. Rufus Choate, the eminent lawyer, had expressed the same idea when, in speaking of a certain person, he said: "He is a bull dog with confused Ideas." Dr. Buell said he had a four footed friend at his home who met him whenever he returned, with "Well, why didn't you come home sooner," and showed by every movement how delighted he was to see the speaker.

On one occasion the four footed friend intimated that he wanted to go hunting woodchucks, and so his master and he started off on that exhilarating pursuit. At this point in his remarks. Dr. Buell threw out the suggestion that perhaps some of his clerical brethren did not exactly know what a woodchuck was. Some persons, he said, had an idea that it was a bird.

He might define it as a burrowing animal. This remark was received with much" laughter, many of the clergymen present evidently recalling the time when they were farmers' boys, and when going in search of woodchucks was one of tho OYniiomnfs tliat tmo lifrt 1. try worth living. 1 Dr. Buel! continued his hunting story, much to the delight of the clergymen.

He told how he (the doctor) and the dog reached the place of abode of the woodchuck, how by a combined movement on the part of clergyman and four footed friend the woodchuck was dislodged and hew when that was accomplished the three objects of animated nature stood watching each other. The clergyman looked at the dog. tho dog looked at the woodchuck and the latter, with teeth that were like a mouthful of chisels locked at the other two. it was in fact a. triangular duel, with the chances in favor of the woodchuck.

Indeed, the latter was master of the situation. At this juncture the doctor thought it was time to take come decisive action, and so he seized the most available weapon, a stone and, aiming it, as he thought, with peculiar accuracy, threw it with ail his might and hit the dog. (Great laughter.) Ot course, the woodchuck escaped to its hole, the dog ran off howling and the hunting was cr.ded for the day. From this little story Dr. Buell drew a moral about Ineffective preaching and asked his brethren if thev saw the point.

He said it was an easy thing to pound the pulpit and say "Damn the critics" (sen Bation), but it wouldn't hurt anvthlng. The speaker, in adverting to "the fact that tho question of higher criticism was bound to ccme and that although it might not be welcomed by clergymen, said it was their duty to meet it with Intelligence and understanding. He added: "Brethren, do nnt let no stone Hume ar.d the dead critics. They cannot answer back, and beside, it isn't fair" Tho speaker dwelt on the folly of "fighting in the air." as St. Paul had called it.

Ha said he had understood that Sullivan and other pugilists, in training for a contest, punched a bag. but that was tame. He believed that Sullivan would rather fight a man, and so would the real preacher In attaining his point. The speaker asked his auditors If they had ever witnessed Italians light, and how they rolled the "mellifluous) words of their melodious language" off their tongues. He recalled an Italian combat In the city of Venice, where one of the combatants fought with his antagonist on the sixth floor and how the former turned up his mouth so that it was, practically speaking, on the top of his head.

(Laughter.) The speaker in closing spoke of the folly of underestimating the foe In discussing the question of higher criticism. He dwelt on the value of Christian apologetics in teaching students and Inquirers to regard tho difference between essentials and non essentials. He said apologetics taught them to put the emphasis where it should be put. Hei defined the Bible as a revelation of God on the ethical and religious side and not with regard to His creation.
