THE BBOQKLYN DAILY EAGLE TUESBAY, DECEMBER 8, 1896. THE REIGN OF KEASOTT. MISCELLANEOUS. WAITING ON THE DEMOCRATS, txamm atro mm carnation decorated the lapel of his coat as usual. Over on the house side the galleries were packed with people long before the hour for the opening of congress.

Scores of members were remembered by their friends and received bunches and baskets of flowers. A large bunch of yellow and red roses decorated Congressman Bennett's desk and Governor elect Black appeared behind an immense bunch of roses presented to him by his associates, Congressman Hooker, Sherman. Foote, Odell and Bennett. During the reading of the message in the house a great many members left their seats and retired to the lobbies and cloak rooms. that tho writer of this column is not in conflict with the entire sentiment of the community, as some cf my critics have assumed: St.

Mary's Church. Dec. 7. "Mul" While we are unknown to each other, still, please, allow me to say that every seriously minded person Is your debtor. I am Yours, with kindest thoughts, W.

W. BELLINGER. Mr. Ralph E. Moore writes as follows: To the Editor of the Brooklyn Engle: I wish, through you, to thank "Mul" for his able defense of the rerlptures against the attacks of Dr.

Abbott o.nd others. 1 am not a believer In the Infallibility of the Bible, but. nevertheless, I do not think It right for a Christian minister to use the pulpit for the purpose of attacking the truth of the scriptures. Far better for a minister to ipend his time In trying to convince men of the truth of the gospel than trying to destroy what Utile reverence chey may have for the book and the message It contains. I hope that "Mul" win continue In the good work that he has so well carrtod on.

To these and others who have sent personal messages ot appreciation, "Mul" makes grateful acknowledgments. Ho is deeply conscious that the work attributed to him might be well intrusted to abler minds; in what has been written he has simply availed himself of opportunities which have not offered themselves to stronger hands.

BAD JOHN QUINN. Drunkenness and Assaults Are This Youth's Specialties. John Quinn, a bad youth of 34G Baltic street, who has been wanted by the police of the Butler street station since last June, was caught by Policeman Hoollhan of the Adams street station yesterday and locked up.

Quinn las been convicted several times of drunkenness and although only 18 years old has served a year in the penitentiary for assaulting a citizen, who died from a fracture of the skull caused by his fall after Quinn struck him. On June 26, when Policeman John Flannagan was driving away a crowd of boys at Baltic and Hoyt streets, Quinn knocked him down and escaped. When he came before Judge Tighe this morning he asked with what degree of assault he was charged and upon being told that it was the third degree he promptly pleaded guilty. He was sent to jaJl for twentyrnine days. "VIRCHOW AND EVOLUTION." The sermon printed in the Eagle of yesterday nnder title of "Virchow and Evolution" was by error credited to the Kev.

The Beating accommodations of Emmanuel Baptist chinch were taxod to their utmost oapacity Sunday night, the extra attraction at that odiflco being the first production in this country of a now sacred cantata. BlesBed are They Who Watch," by Hugh Blair, an English composer. The work is short, consisting of five ohorusos and two soprano solos.

Tho choir of the church, under the direction of the organist, G. Waring Stebbins, did the musio full justioo and Miss Torrell sang tho solos, "Sorrow Not" and "I Will Give Unto Him," with artistic expression. As a work for church choirs tho cjuitata is not likely to bocomo popular, owing to tho dearth of so'lo and conoerted numbers. Tho Schubert String quartet lent their aBHietanoo in an adagio from Judassohn's Nineteenth Century Assaults on the Bible "Which Recall Piotures That Carlyle Limnsd The Kev. Dr.

Oheever on the Evolution of the Horse and His Final End. There are doubtless some timid souls to whom recent assaults on the Bible by the Apostles of Reason will recall the carmagnole of Paris and the French revolution. Reading Carlyle anew, these timid souls will probably be able, to their own convlncement, at least, to recognize in the evil spirit of those who danced before rouged and befrllled Demoiselle Candeille, the Goddess of Reason, the same spirit which is making the Bible a foot ball to day. As the more modern scientific moralists clasp hands and dance in circle about the Book of Holy Writ, each delivering a kick at its dismembered leaves, and all joining in the satirical chorus of the new carmagnole "Let us inspire deeper reverence for the Holy Book" the reader of Carlyle will delve with deeper interest into the rugged pages which tell of Reason run mad of disbelief in divine revelation manifesting itself in sonorous, platitudinous, high sounding deification of that great intellectual endowment which brings same minds humbly in the dust before tho Omnipotent, and in others would exalt insignificant man to familiar companionship, even partnership, with God. And the reader who thus compares' to day with the lurid days of November, 1793, will doubtless see a strangely familiar form in the evil spirit which tore down altar rails, quaffed burning draughts of brandy from chalice and clborlums, defiled dalmatics and albs, wrenched the symbols of Religion from, their sacred places, kicked them into the gutters ot Paris, spat upon the writings of the saints and enthroned on the high altar of Notre Dame the painted Demoiselle Candeille the man created Goddess of Reason.

Turning from the hideous scenes which Carlyle has limned with strong hand, tho reader will gaze with curious eyes upon men who, while refraining from physically placing rude hands on the symbols of religion men who would shrink from the blasphemies, the Indecencies, the horrors of the reign of Reason In bloody Paris, yet men, who, nevertheless, have essayed to tear the Ten Commandments out of the church, have branded the writers of Holy Scripture as imposters, falsifiers, religious cheats, have lampooned, sneered at and characterized that which the Christian calls Faith as an untrustworthy guide, who have depicted as murderers those ancient warriors whom the Old Testament referred to as servants of God, who have not been content with the assurances of Holy Scripture that reason was implanted in man by the Supreme Being, but have hunted for it in the ignoble things of animal life, and claimed to have found its embryo there, who have Pharisaically proclaimed that they are better "morally, intellectually and spiritually than the Christians of the first century," better than those fearless, indomitable Christian martyrs who endured torture in its most appalling forms because of their invincible faith, and who with lowly but Impregnable Christian resolution embrace, than renounce Christ. Kiti 1 Of course, the assailant of the Bible will shrink from the comparison that has been made, and may raise the voice of Indignant protest. Yet the comparison will Inevitably be made, whether it be unjustly or Justly made. It cannot be escaped. The man who in one breath declares his reverence for the Blhle, and in the nst impeaches Its utterances, may exclalm3 "we are net of the school of red revolutiSlsts; we are not impious desecrators of holy thincs!" Yet they are indeed revolutionists, and there are those, who will think that the educated mind which devotes Its talents to the destruction of faith in the Bible as a whole, lnsen arably interlocked in all Its parts, is if any thing more impious than the sans culottes of aris, wno aeniea mere symBols of religion But the timid souls who may have drawn the contrasts suggested need have no fears as to the results of this latest appearance of self styled Reason as an assailant of the Bible.

The Book has withstood the assaults of more 'formidable "foes throughout the centuries of the Christian era. Mirabeau and Dan ton were more eloquent than to day's disciples or the thing that is falsely masquerading as Keason. Mirabeau and Danton had more fol lowers than these later disciples of this false fnd they and their Goddess are in realms carKness. with Carlyle we may confident ly believe that as Saturn devoured its progeny so will counterfeit Reason devour its progeny, and in the end retreat in confusion before the majestic advance of true Reason, that godlike attribute of man, which ever and irresistibly guards Faith. The older readers of the Eagle will remem ber the lamented Rev.

Dr. George, B. Cheever of the Puritan's church. Union square. He wrote a poem, which will doubtless be read with interest to day.

It is in part as follows and is entitled: THE HORSE. GOSPEL OF EVOLUTION. "At first he had a single hoof. But afterward the engraven proof Of three or other separate toes. As evolution doth disclose; Of horses' patterns, such as camels, A mld TCie necessary trammels For sandy wildernesses reared, And o'er salt deserts to be sheered, And to be safely rode; So Nature'.

mother care bestowed A horse existence like the fairies, For Indians of our Western prairies. But as those Centaurs did die out The Hippo species put about, Returning to the old medallion Of Nature in the primal sjalllon. Since no succeeding fossil shows Existence of the horse with toes, Why should this path of evolution Stop with a half way revolution? Our specimens for ages seen. Are few, and very far between; But which came first, as nature grows, The single hoof, or hoof with toes? Doubtless Professor Huxley knows How out of natural force It rose. And thus our Western science rich With spoils redeemed from nature's ditch, Of bones In antique deserts tethered.

And now In Colorado gathered, To Huxley and his second fiddle Must leave the solving of this riddle: And, though It were ob dark as night. Till Marsh's fossils hove In sight, At evening tide there shall be light. Those once beguiled by Moses' word. To our Yale museum now referred. Our British commentator shows How the creation's forms arose.

Beyond the reach of Moses' lore At the beginning and before, And under lock and key laid up Divine Shechlnah of our hope, Excluding faith, rejecting prayer, We learn what saves us from despair; And this horse gospel doth declare, Survival of the fittest there, Where all that err to pasture pass. As Babel's monarch went to grass. A winged and five fingered steed For every halting Jacob's need. Natural Selection will provide Whenever serves both time and tide, Careering through Celestial spheres. For those who are the natural heirs, By force from gelatine set free, Of Life and Immortality.

The atavistic Centaurs, then. Evolved from plain pedestrian man As Eden's owners will be seen, With rainbows crowned, and regal meln. And, ere the Hippo cycle tires, Rapt In supreme angelic fires. Throw, then, your Bibles to the wind. And never fear of having sinned; But trust In Nature as the spring That doth Immortal glory bring, And her Selecting Force admire That saves you from Gehenna's Are.

A Reception Given in Honor of Dr. and Mrs. Hartzell by Brooklyn Methodists. A farewell reception was tendered last evening in the Johnston building, Flatbush avenue and Kevins street, to Bishop J. C.

Hartzell, D. by the Methodist Social union. The bishop is to sail for Africa on Wednesday morning to do missionary service. It was about 6 o'clock when members began to arrive, but it was half an hour later when the guest of the evening and his wife put in appearance. The bishop was escorted to the head of the reception room, where each person was in turn presented to him.

After the reception those present proceeded to the banquet room, where covers had been laid for 100 guests, and every place was occupied when grace was said by Bishop E. G. Andrews, D.D. A very elaborate supper was served and after the last course was disposed ot Vice President E. B.

Tuttle of the union rapped for order and introduced Bishop B. G. Andrews as the flrst speaker of the evening. Bishop Andrews said among other things: "I congratulate the union to night on its being able to connect the home interest with that larger outlook for which the church is striving. We have with us to night one who is to visit the dark part of the world and bring there the power of the gospel he has in his own soul.

In a short time this continent to which we refer has come to be very conspicuous in the thought of religion. Wa 'csn remember when the whole of the center unf xploredV Now this region is dotted with civilized Lie. I think thai Americans underestimate the African interest. Europeans see a future iu Africa. They are occu pying its vast area.

It is not all desert. Beyond the plateau there are regions with resources never dreamed of. There is a per sis tance in the race that means a future. A continent of 42.000,000 people more than there are in the United States appeals to the philanthropy of America. We now look "upon a brother who has been chosen to go there.

The church naturally turns its eye on him. It is expected that through him the field will bo opened for further ministerial work. May God bless him." When Bishop Hartzeli was next introduced he was received with applause. He said, during the course of his remarks: "Far above the question of personality this meeting has a thoughr and significance that has to do with Christ's kingdom. God exiled me as a minister of the poor, for which I thank Hjm.

Only a few months after our marriage my wife and I went to New Orleans just after the war, and for over twenty years our work has been there. In the three weeks that' have been passing swiftly by I have gone over in thought again and again the places I visited, from cabin to cabin, praying and exhorting those poor colored people. And from these I go to the poor in Africa. "I had no thought of being elected to this place, but since that hour no anxiety has come over me. I stand true in the conviction that my God is sending me to Africa, and I go in His name to do the best I can." The Rev.

PROGRESS IN ASTRONOMY. The additions in astronomy made to owl" knowledge within the last few months by the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, were interestingly recounted by W. E. Story la a lecture before the department of astronomy; of the Brooklyn institute last evening. The subject of Mr.

(Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. December 8 Through the rush of incidents that marked the opening of the second session of the Fifty fourth congress, there ran a strong undercurrent of expectancy.

Democratic leaders watched the Republican managers with suspicion and distrust, and the big men of the Republican party waited with ill concealed anxiety to find out what help they might expect in legislation from the sound money Democrats who voted with them in the last presidential campaign. Senator Thurston of Nebraska, the McKln ley leader, in the senate met Senator Gorman, chairman of the Democratic sr.eerins: committee, in the brilliantly lighted lobby of the seQate chamber just before the reading of the senate chamber Just before the reading of the President's message, and slipped his arm in that of the veteran Maryland's statesman, and remarked, when Gorman asked him what the Republicans proposed to do in regard to the Dingley bill: "Well, we are waiting to find out what we can do with you people." "That Is not the question with you Republicans," said Senator Gorman, with rather a harsh laugh, "It is not what you can do with us, but what you can do with yourselves." This about expresses the situation. Some of the veteran Republican leaders in the senate have declared themselves in favor of an immediate action on the Dingley bill, while others like Senators Thurston and Proctor.are opposed to doing anything with this makeshift measure that has come over from the last session. In conversation with the Eaele corresDond ent Senator Thurston deflned his position most empnaticaily. He said: "1 do not believe that the Dingley bill can be passed and whether it i passed or not we ought to have an extra session.

Even if the Dingley bill does become a law it doe3 not in any way lessen the responsibility of the Republican party to pass a Republican tariff bill, and to pass it speedily. Those senators who say that it is a mistake for us to start in under the new administration with an extra session seem to forget that if we wait until the regular session to undertake our tariff legislation we will but repeat the unfortunate experiment of the McKlnley bill; namely, I spring a new Mil on the country so short a i time before election that the people will not De aoie to receive any benefit from the bill and failing to do this, will vote against the party enacting the bill. If, on the other hand, an extra session is called and a tariff bill is passed, as I believe it can be passed, before early in the summer, the country will have plenty of time to readjust itself to the new condition of affairs and will reap the benefit of the new protective measure before the next congressional election comes around. The Dingley bill has arrayed against it a number of interests. It does nothing for sugar and it is In reality a very' little improvement on the Wilson Gorman measure that is now a law." When asked how he thought the senate would stand after the 4th of March Senator Thurston said with a.

good deal of gravity: "We will need a Republican senator from North Carolina and one from Kentucky to make the vote a tie. We believe we will get both of these seats, but of course In the case of North Carolina we have to contend against cue imru party, wnicn is always an uncertain quantity, and, therefore, I am making uu ihiuvc predictions on tne result. From tne aavices i nave received, however, from our people in North Carolina the outlook tnere is satisfactory. "The people of the country," continued Senator Thurston, "by their votes in the last election expressed themselves most emphatically on this subject. They expect the Republican to pass a tariff bill and we peneve tnat under a.

high protective tariff we will as a nation' have abundant prosperity again. If results prove that we are mistaken, then let the other side have a chance to see what they can do." Not a few Democratic senators to day expressed themselves as inclined to let the Republicans go ahead with their tariff schemes. One distinguished Southern silver senator said: "So far as we are concerned, there will be no factional opposition to a tariff bill. There will, of course, be a free discussion, but I do not believe that the Democrats will filibuster against the passage of such a bill as the Republicans want." The claim made by the advocates of the Dingley bill that they will have the support of the sound money Democrats in the senate in their efforts to pass it does not seem to be carried out by the facts. Senator Gray of Delaware to day informed the Eagle correspondent emphatically that he was opposed to the Dingley bill; that he would not vote for it unless he changed his opinion very radically and that as he now felt he regarded it as an attempt of the Republicans to hold up the sound money Democrats and make them pay tribute to a protective tariff.

"I am," he said, "unalterably opposed to this course and shall use my influence in defeating the Dingley bill if It is brought before the senate." The two New York senators. Hill and Murphy, flocked by themselves during almost the entire session of the senate yesterday. Senator Hill looks very strong and robust and seems to be taking life easily and comfortably. When asked by the Eagle correspondent whether he proposed to express himself on floor of the senate in regard to recent political events, he said sarcastically: "What? After keeping still so long? To speak now would be an imposition on the public." Then he turned to Senator Dubois, who stood besUde him, and said: "Well, senator, have you silver people got your fighting clothes on this year?" Dubois replied rather grimly that he could only speak for himself, but that so far as he was concerned, he proposed to give the gold Republicans and the gold Democrats all the trouble he could. During the reading of the President's message by the clerk of.

the senate, nearly all the veteran senators lolled in their chairs, with printed copies of the message, which they perused with more or less eagerness. It was particularly noticeable that Senators Mills, Gorman, Frye, Hill and Sherman paid absolutely no attention to the reading of the message, but took pencils from their pockets and hurriedly glancing over the message, marked passages in It that especially appealed to them. The new ventilating seats and other improvements in the senate attracted considerable attention from the senators as well as from the visitors in the galleries. So far as could be observed yesterday the air in the senate chamber was about the same as usual; it did not appear to be any purer or better! The seats, however, are all of a uniform character and color, and make the auditorium appear neater and more like a theater. Old Theodore Page, the Brooklvn runs the senate restaurant, was on deck as usual, and rarely has he had during his long and eventful experience as a caterer for the the great men of the country a livelier session than he had yesterday.

The private senatorial dining rooms wore crowded from noon until late in the afternoon, so crowded, in fact that when at about 2 o'clock Sir Julian Pauncel fote, the British ambassador, came around for lunch he was unable to And a seat. Landlord Page, however, secured him a plate of crackers and a glass of milk and the representative of her Britannic maiestv trwir bio lunch standing In a very democratic fashion. I On one side of him stood a little page, devouring a large slice of pumpkin pie and Jim behind him a negro man was taking his lunch. Most of the senators greeted each other with cordial good will, but It was very noticeable that the silver Democratic senators passed Senators Hill and Murphy with the coldest sort of salutations and took care not to be Been talking with them. Senator Brice wore, apparently, the same familiar silk faced frock coat that he appeared In at the last session, and a red MRS.

MACMAHON'S CASE. It Is Now Before the United States Supreme Court. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, D. December 8 Judge James Troy and his son, Thomas Troy, of Brooklyn, were yesterday admitted to practice before the supreme court of the United States. The motion admitting these Brooklyn lawyers to argue before this high tribunal was made by Charles Lancaster, an attorney of the District of Columbia.

The Messrs. Troy appeared before the court as the attorneys of Katie J. MacMahon of Brooklyn, in one of the most interesting and important cases that has come up from the lower courts of New York state for a number of years. The husband of Katie J. MacMahon was drowned in a collision between one of the boats of the Brooklyn New York Ferry company, plying between those two cities, and a small steam launch, on which he was working at the time of the accident.

It will be remembered that in this case, which was tried in the supreme court of Brooklyn during the first term at which Judge Dickie presided, a verdict was rendered against the company for $21,000. This was the first case begun and tried after the adoption of the amendment of the constitution, which abol I ished the limitation of S5.000, which formerly was tne uignest amount that could be recovered for the loss of life by neglect. The citation was issued and a bond given in the sum of 530,000. This removed the case from the state court into the United States supreme court, where it will be reviewed and eventually tried. It may be stated that the federal questions involved in this case are that the launch in which the deceased was at the time of the collision carried or displayed no light, although it was after sunset and was required to do so by the laws of the United States.

The boat did not carry a licensed pilot or a licensed engineer or, as would have been permissible in the case of so small a craft, one person who was qualified as both. CENTRAL 0HUE0H FIGURES.

AU Former Christmas Displays Surpassed by the Present Array. The Christmas display of the Arm of Fred erick Loeser on upper Fulton street, surpasses all previous years in beauty, novelty and variety and this is saying much as the immense store has been the Mecca for many years past of thousands of Brooklyn holiday purchasers. The windows are artistically decorated and among other novelties contain an automatic gymnast and darky, which perform some amusing feats to the evident delight of the crowds that surround the store from morning until night. On the flrst floor there is a splendid stock of gold and silver jewelry, fancy and leather goods, toilet articles, gloves, umbrellas, men's furnishing goods, stationery, ribbons, iaces and dress patterns. The firm says it is the finest display of goods in those lines ever made by the house.

In the basement the exhibit of cut glass, fine china, bric a brac, ornamental cl ocks and lamps, reminds many of the displays made at the world fair at Chicago. The second floor is crowded with attractive fea tures such as art embroideries, crape paper novelties, furs of all kinds and other articles in almost endless variety suitable for holidav gifts and adapted to the largest as well as the most limited purse. On the third floor is an exhibit of fancy goods, artistic furniture such as parlor suits, from the finest cabinet makers, smokers' tables, book cases, book shelves and the thousand and one articles that go to make up Christinas presents that honor the giver and delight the recipient. On the fourth floor those ever attractive features of the holiday season dolls, toys and games are to be found in dazzling array. The toys include all of the latest and best specimens of French and German artisans.

Mechanical toys that are full of quaint surprises for the little ones and dolls that look like fashionable young misses waiting to receive their company, take up no inconsiderable space and show that it requires artists for the juvenile mind as well as for the old folks. All of the Immense store is brilliantly lighted and the entire establishment from basement to roof has a distinct Christmas air about it which makes it a delightful place for the holiday, buyer to visit. nature makes them?" "I'm er Dleased tn iiwva uinu. i. ixx ur pteas accept them as they propose." Truths Departments Ready for Every 'Whim of the Holiday Shopper.

The big stores in the dry goods district of upper Fulton street are perhaps the best indication that can be found of the fact that Christmas is close at hand. And nowhere are the attractions greater than those exhibited by the firm of Abraham Straus. Indeed, the magnitude of operations of this long established house is worth studying, aside from the phenomenal trade of the firm. It is a study to watch the anxious crowds around the main entrance, to note the hundreds of delivery wagons, with their army of drivers and messengers; to catch a glimpse of the great annex, which is now being erected to accommodate the increasing volume of trade of the firm's all the year round patronage. But this is only an out of doors view.

It is within the mammoth establishment that a picture is presented worth carrying in one's memory. The scene during the present holidays is like the reproduction of some great fair, where all the markets of the world have been ransacked in order to procurenovelties. The display this year is finer than ever. Among the features which have been made especially attractive are the toy, grocery, book, jewelry, china, glass and silver ware departments. The novel toy of the mechanical circus is charming thousands of visitors daily.

It was made in France and will be on exhibition until Christmas It is regarded as one of the most ingenious as well as expensive productions ot the kind ever brought to this country. The toy is a well spring of delight, especially to children. Ten figures are shown in the exhibition, which is given all through the day on the fourth floor. One of them is an aerial performer, who goes through all manner of evolutions up in his own territory midway to heaven and earth; another is a droll looking clown who tries to blow a fly off his nose, and a third is an educated pig that winks his eyes and wags his ears. Among many departments of sterling excellence Is that devoted to books, where all the latest periodicals and the newest publications can be obtained and which is run on strictly book store principles.

It is not made Vil ot odds and ends, but of such a llnfei 6f tiooks as establishments devoted to that purpose are alone supposed to carry. The art department is em other feature well worth noting. There, a fine, gallery of oil paintings is exhibition, many of which were imporced during the visit to Europe of che head of the department in the summer. Ttie pictures range in price from J20 to and are the work of P. Ltan zoni, Lm.

Riedler, A. 'Seco la, E. Boehm, M. Galsser, F. R.

Donac and Clinton Loveridge of the Brooklyn Art club. The firm makes a flme display of pictures for the popular purse, that range in price Irom 25 cents to $25, and also of frames In all varieties of ftard wood and gold. The suggestion is given as an especially appropriate one at chis busy, holiday season tfhat purchasers make arrangments lor the framing of pictures in time, so tbat they will not' be dis aippointd in rush of uyers. An zruszic gut a the same department is a (box of oil or colors, which Is provided with everyt'aing calculated to foster the caste of the ambitious student. There ere other departments in wliicti the variety of beautiful and useful.

Christmas presents almost too numerous to specify. In the book there are some remarkably attractive, art publications and a great variety at mechanical toyjbocks, which were made in Austria, especially fbr ttie firm. REEVES IS A GOOD OFFICER. A Veteran Sergeant Who Celebrated an Anniversary Yesterday. Sergeant James D.

Reeves of the Adams street station yesterday celebrated the thirty third anniversary of his appointment on the force. Sergeant Reeves was yesterday thirty two years a policeman. In all that time he has made no enemies on the force and is beloved, not only by the men, but by his superior officers. He has proven himself to be a man of rare executive capacity and there is reason to believe that promotion to a captaincy is waiting for him. He did not enter the last competitive examination, but it is not at all unlikely that when the next examination is ordered he will be on the list.

His official superiors trust to his Judgment, a fact that is made evident by the circumstance that he is placed in command of the precinct when the captain Is absent. Sergeant Reeves is careful and thrifty. He owns property in this city and has a fine summer home at Sea Cliff, L. I. WINTERS HOWARD.
