God told Moses that he would, by His own divine power, feed the people according to their desire. Moses said: "How are you going to do it?" He did not have faith in God. ThlB seems surprisng, after all the manifestations which God had given Moses of His power, but before wo criticise him we must remember that we all have Bhort memories. How easily we forget what God has done for us in past times! "Moses" expression of his discouragement was wise in one direction, i. in that he took It direct to God.

You can take your discontent and depression to no better place than to God. So long is you take it there, there is hope. If you are discouraged go to God; tell Him all about it. But, although Moses was wise In this particular direction, he was unwise in other directions. Tbe expression of his dscouragement before God was unbecoming In form; he made false accusations against God.

He prayed God to kill him so that he should not see his wretchedness. "God made no reproach against Moses for his want of faith. He did not heap upon him any epithets to express his disfavor. He dealt with him with the most tender forbearance. God understands our failings.

God cured the discouragement of Moses just as he cures ours." TMJJ CAEWr EAGLE la published every after, boon on the working days of the week and on BtTODAT MORNINGS.

Tho German American Reform Union last evening in New York City, after declaring that either a Republican or a Democratic mayor of the greater city would unavoidably result in the worst misuse of the office for party machine purposes and the forbidding of most important improvements in city departments, adopted resolutions declaring that Seth Low, by his political antecedents, by bis high personal character, by his administration of the office of Mayor of the City of Brooklyn and by tho programme contained in his letter of accept anen. offers the best guarantee for an ad tniristriit ion of Greater New York corresponding to the ideas of tbe German American Reform Li ion; also that by the declaration contained in his letter of acceptance in reference to the provisions of the Raines law. most oilioiiH in German Americans, and by his behavior as Mayor of Brooklyn, he justifies tho assumption that as Mayor of Greater New York lie would use the influence of his office in favor of a liberal interpretation and execution of that law. Mr. Low was indorsed for mayor and also the entire Citizens' Unf.on ticket.

At the Art Building yesterday afternoon Dr. Henry G. Hanchett introduced his forthcoming series of Beethoven readings to public notice by an analytical piano recital free to members of the Brooklyn Institute. The doctor was asslted by two capable artists, Dr. John C.

Griggs, barytone, and Mr. Albertus Shelley, violin. The programme was taken from the great masters of music, beginning with Itach. tbe double aim of the recital being virtuosity in rendition and oral explanation of the detailed beauties of the music. Before playing the prelude and fugue in minor from Bach's "Well tempered Clavichord," second part, Dr.

Hanchett remarked that this composer was an innovator in his own time; to his Influence wo owe the present tuning of the piano keys and the modern system of contrapuntal development. The so called fugues, which were favorites with Bach, were compositions In several voices, all of them devoted to the exploitation of a subject. The two pages of the fugue before him. Dr. Hanchett said, as a matter of fact contain almost all the devices used by a skillful contrapuntist.

Dr. Hanchett rendered the Bach number with the aid of his tone sustaining pedal, producing an excellent effect. He next asked the assemblage to contrast the piece just heard with something more in a fiti de siecle style, namely. Liszt's "Forest Murmurings." In a work of this character contrapuntal ideas aro combined with much other matter, the result being that they do not stand out with the severity of the Bach music. But Liszt likewise, shows his skill in being ablo to make a delightful composition out of a very small subject.

There was hearty applause when Dr. Hanchett finished tbe piece by Liszt, which was one of the most enjoyable of the afternoon. Attention was next called to the storin ily sweet impassioned sonata of Beethoven by a few remarks on the first movement (allegro assai), which was afterward played. Not passion, but pain. Is the predominant vein of this great work of the Viennese.

Its frequently recurring theme of three short notes fol loweu dv a longer, is said to have been suggested to Beethoven by knockings late one night on his door. At all events, it bespeaks that period when Beethoven felt the approaching doom of deafness. Its dynamic feature is the striking contrast of soft and loud, of sweet rippling melodies and crashing chords. The programme proved so lengthy that remarks on the remaining pieces had to ho cut short or entirely omitted. The delightful second and third movements of Grieg's sonata for violin In gave the doctor oecaslon to rank that composer as the greatest living harmonist.

Dr. Griggs was heard In Schumann's "Wunderlied," Franz Schubert's "Der Dop polganger," together with a couple of little MoiiK.1 oy toe American, cnadwiek. The Schumann music was Wri.V and vigorous, quite unlike the tender. seiKimentalism of Schumann's mood after he came under Heine's Influence, and as different from the following Schubert song as night from day. The latter one of the few Heine pieces Schubert put to' music, resembled the "Erl King' its grew some and tragic, beauty.

Mr. Shelley appeared again in a berceuse in I' by Rosen and the lively AVienlawski "Ober rass mazurka; while Dr. Hanchett gave Chopin ballade in A fiat with a self composed programme, together a romanza by Senunuinn. ami the well known Gounod Liszt I ftust waltz. The doctor's readings from Beethoven will begin in the music room of the Art Building on November 2.

Barber Thiers Recital. A piano and song reeital was given yesterday afternoon by William H. Barber and Albert Gerard Thiers at Memorial Hall, before a largo and appreciative audience ot music lovers and students. Mr. Thiers is well known in this city as the conductor of the Cantata Club and also as a church singer and teacher ami his reception was especially flattering.

Although from a cold his singing was excellent and the variety of bis repertoire gave opportunity for display of his vehsatillty In a charming manner. An unusual feature was tho rendering of three selections from Italian composers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. d'. Am our," Martini for which Mr. Thiers was obliged to improvise an accompaniment, as his copv had been mislaid, proved the favorite.

"It Was a Lover and His Lass." a ballad, written by William Morley in lsoo. was especially dainty, as was also the modern "Well Ieh Wie Einstmals Ailoiti," by Tscbalkowsky. But it was in the more familar numbers such as "l)u Hist Wie Eiuo Ultimo (Schumann; and "Still Wle die Nacht" (Hohmj. that Mr. Thiers appeared at his best and "Bonjour Suzon." a rollicking French ballad by Pessan, afforded an effective contrast.

Nevin's "At Twilight." Tosti's "Could and "For a Dream's Sake by tho late Frank Sawyer, with "Hey, Dolly Ho Dolly," a love song with a Kwlng and a ring to it. by Mr. Sawyer, completed the list. Miss Kate Stella Burr was the accompanist and proved herself admirably adapted for the task, her playing adding not a little to the effectiveness of the programme. Mr.

Barber, who has a stiluio in this city was also accorded a warm welcome, which was well deserved. His rendering of a romance by Schumann and "Islivlen's Llebestol arranged for tbe piano by Liszt, was particularly fine and a caprice by Stavenhngen was tv celveil with special appreciation. The Schubert Liszt arrangement of "The Erl King," was played In a dramatic and musiclanlv manner and a fantaslo by Mozart, a gavotte' by D'Al bert and an Impromptu and scherzo by Chopin were all effectively given. Throe Liszt numbers. "Liehostraum," vnlse "Petit Favorite" and the Hungarian Rhapsodic No.

1L' completed Mr. Harbor's selections, the valse number winning special applause. Both Ringer and pianist wore heartily encored and Mr. Barber responded with a dainty selection. MAKING CHEWING GUM.

Not the least important Industry in the United States Is the manufacture of chewing gum. Philadelphia ranks high in the production of this article and a walk through the factory of Frank II. Fleer ft Co. in that city will be found very interesting. Here over one hundred million pieces of chewing gum are annually produced and shipped, un" der various lab.ds.

to every iortlon of the world, regular shipments being made to the Sandwich Islands, Brazils and Spanish South America. Three hundred persons are engaged In the mniiufarturi! of the gum. the first step to which Is the importation of tbe. crude or raw chide. This gum Is gathered by the peons In Moteo and expor'eil in bales rnniaininit about iri pounds each.

List of Practical Topics for the Coming Season A Memorial Meeting to Be Held in the Pouch Gallery on the Evening of October 24 to Honor the Late President, Z. Sidney Sampson, and Other Members Passed Away. At a special business meeting held last evening the Brooklyn Ethical Association unanimously elected Henry Hoyt Moore of the Outlook, former corresponding secretary ol the organization, to the presidency, in place of Z. Sidney Sampson, whose untimely death left the association for a time without a leader. Mr.

Moore "is a worthy successor of the former presidents, Professor Franklin W. Hooper, Dr. Lewis G. Janes and Mr. Sampson, and he has taken hold of the work with an energy and wisdom which promises increased interest and prosperity to the association.

President 'Moore has 'been for several years connected with the Outlook, and to his work is due not only its typographical excellence, but something also of Us literary features. Whatever he writes Is clearly presented in a graceful and admirable style, and his occasional contributions to the courses of the Ethical Association have been characterized by the high standard of excellence for which the platform of the association has long been well and favorably distinguished. Sidney A. Saunders succeeds Mr. Moore as corresponding secretary, Mrs.

Tudor Williams succeeds Mr. Saunders as librarian, and C. J. Smith was elected recording secretary, in place of Mr. Idle.

The course of lectures outlined for the coming season deals with questions of practical Interest and importance and should attract many to its membership who may not have been especially interested in more theoretical linos of discussion. It will be Introduced on Sunday evening, October 24, by a memorial meeting in grateful recognition of the services of the late president, Z. Sidney Sampson, Professor Edward D. Cope of the University of Pennsylvania, an honorary corresponding member of the association and frequent contributor to its work, and Daniel Greenleaf Thompson, also actively identified with the association, all of whom died during the past summer. Tho Rev.

John W. Chadwick will deliver the memorial address on President Sampson, Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn of Columbia University will describe the labors of Professor Cope, and John A. Taylor, the former partner of Mr. Thompson, will give a tribute of respect and appreciation to the memory of his departed friend. The general topic of the succeeding lectures for which the association is indebted to President Moore is "Present Day Problems In Social and Industrial Life." The special topics, dates and speakers are as follows: November 7 "Ethics of Family Life," George Willis Cooke of Lexington, Mass.

Janes, director of the Cambridge Conferences: discussion by Josephine Shaw Lowell, formerly of the State Board of Charities. Discussion and a high order of excellence in the treatment of the topics are guaranteed by these names, which are largely those of experts or persons who have given special attention to the topics assigned them.

The aim will be to bring every question to the test of scientific and evolutionary principles. In an address to the members President Moore calls attention to the fact that the oourse is an unusually timely one, dealing with practical questions, to be discussed by men and women well qualified to interest and enlighten their audiences, and many of them eminent in their respective lines of work and study. It has been felt by the committee which prepared the programme that the work of the association must not deteriorate in character, consequently the committee has not hesitated to engage the best speakers, and the association will continue to hold its meetings in the Fouch Mansion. "To carry on the work successfully," the president says, "will require the hearty to operation of all the friends of the association. It would seem that in the City of Brooklyn there must be sufficient interest in the endeavor to present ethical questions in the light of reason and science to enable the association to maintain this free lecture platform.

In the unrest of the present day, when the foundations of old systems of ethics seem to many to be crumbling, the Ethical Association, while not desiring to antagonize other ethical agencies, is seeking to show that the foundations of conduct actually rest on a purely ra. tlonal and scientifls basis. There must ba many who would be glad to know of this work and help It on." In conclusion, President Moore makes a strong appeal to all interested in the work, whether members of the association or not, to support it by their Influence and their means. "A comparatively small addition to our sustentation fund," he says, "such as is subscribed every day by men of means to the support of traditional ethical agencies, would enable us to largely extend our work and encourage us in its maintenance." Tho attention of men of liberal Ideas and hearts is called to the opportunity thus offered of helping a cause whose officers work without pay, and which seeks to extend high ideals and practical ideas on questions ot human conduct. In connection with the Ethical Association, it may be mentioned that Dr.

Janes, former president of the association and now of the Cambridge Conferences, will preside at the liberal congress of religion at the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, on the evening of Friday, October 21. The evening will be devoted to a conference of comparative religions. The titles and speakers: "Hinduism," Swami Saradananda; "The Parsi Religion," Jehangier D. Cola.

A wedding of interest to society of Stuyves ant Heights took place on Tuesday evening, when Miss Allie Grant Lame and Nehemiah Harden Campbell were married at the home of the bride, at 354 Stuyvesant avenue. The bride is a daughter of William R. Lame. The ceremony was performed under a bower of palms, which were tastefully arranged in the bay window of the parlor.

The Rev. James B. Nles of the Church of the Epiphany officiated. MIsb Ida Rose Lame, a sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid and the best man was Charles William Hobart. Tho ushers were James Willifim Tice and Charles A.

Misu Lame, the bridesmaid, was attired In a gown of light 'blue silk with lace trimmings and carried a large bouquet of white chrysanthemums.

After the ceremony supper was served, and later Big Catholic Demonstration Against the Use of Profane Language. NINE THOUSAND INTERESTED. Final Meeting of the Committee in Charge of the Holy Name Movement Chancellor Mitchell Urges All Organizations Belonging to the Diocesan Union to Make Next Sunday's Event a Success. Parades and Services. A vigorous protest against blasphemy and tho use of improper language, so prevalent among men, is to be made on Sunday next by a series of demonstrations and rallies In a number of Catholic churches in this city.

This protest is to be made by fl.OOO men, members of the Holy Name Societies attached to the various churches in the diocese. The object of these societies is, according to the manual, to prevent as far as possible, the use of improper language among men and in addition to especially honor the holy name of Jesus. These societies have heretofore met quietly each month in the churches of the city, where religious exercises were held, but this year it was decided to make a public demonstration of protestation, which will be the first of the kind ever held in this country. It ia intended by the projectors of the movement to make this demonstration an annual event and to have a day specially set apart for its observance. The demonstration has the sanction of the Very Rev.

Monseignor Mc Namara. V. the spiritual director of the Diocesan Union, and has been approved by the Right Kev. Charles E. McDonnell, tho bishop of the diocese of Brooklyn.

The executive committee of the Diocesan Union of Holy Name Societies has been at work for some montha perfecting arrangements for the demonstration, and last evening the flna.1 meeting of the committee to take action waa held in the ball attached to St. John's Chapel, Vanderbllt and Greene avenues. The meeting was presided over by John Greaney. the vice president of the union. Reports were made by the various committees in charge of the districts.

As already stated in the Eagle, the rally instead of being one immense demonstration, will be divided up into seven' districts, with a rallying church in each district, where, after the societies have marched around the streets of the district, a religious exercise will be held. The Rev. Dr. Jamos H. Mitchell, rector of St.

John' Chapel, who was present at the meetiug. urged upon the delegates the necessity of every' society taking an active interest in the demonstration, in order to prove to the world that there were men who were not ashamed or afraid to stand up in defense of the Hoiy Name and Christianity in general. "Let each step," continued the doctor, "strike solidly on the pavement as a determined protestation against blasphemy and disrespect of the name of Jesus, and let the uplifting of the foot be an. act of praise to the Holy Name. Let each man stand shoulder to aboulder in defense of Christianity, for if th.s great nation is to be spared and prosper, it is by religion alouo." The districts and the societies taking part and the churches at which the services will be held, are as follows: J'irwt instriet Itallylnir church.

An enthusiastic Tracy meeting was held at Grand Union Hall, Court and Butler streets, last night. The hall was crowded. M. C. Hanton ot the Sixth Ward presided.

George F. Elliott, Denis M. Hurley, R. Ross Apple ton and B. F.

Chadsey made speeches. This is the ward in wtiich Tax Collector R. Roes Appleton, who Is the nominee for president of the council, resides, and he was accorded a hearty reception. All the speakers urged Republicans to stick together and vote the straight ticket, which would mean the triumph of the party wbirih bad done so much for purity in government. Mr.

Appleton said among other things in the course of his address: "Your greeting this evening is especially pleasing to me. This is my home and I am glad to know from your demonstration that my support for the office of president of the council is so pronounced among those who know me best. The old time majority in the Sixth Ward has been slowly decreasing with each succeeding election, until I have hopes that the good things that are to come to us through the Republican administration at Washington will eventually redeem the ward from the hands of Democracy. Our country is now on the highway to substantial and lasting prosperity. Everywhere business is starting up and factories are running and the people are encouraged.

Confidence has been thoroughly restored, but confidence is easily shaken. A chill was felt throughout the country when it was learned that certain citizens of our metropolis were more interested in furthering the fortunes of a single individual than of maintaining the supremacy of the Republican party in Greater New York. This tremor, or chill, that has passed up and down the spinal column of our industrial world is but natural. "This talk about a certain class of individuals being better qualified to select officers for the government of our great city than the delegates regularly selected at the Republican primaries is sheer nonsense. There is no claim that tho Republican party has not given a good government in the City of Brooklyn and Now York, nor do the independents suggest any changes or improvements in the conduct ot our public affairs.

I am for the best government that can be procured, and if they can show me where they propose to Improve upon the government given by the Republican party then I will join them. No independent movement has ever succeeded without the support and backing of a regular party organization, and it is my opinion that it never will. The law recognizes but 'two parties for elec tion day purposes. Let every Republican stand up manfully and not be led away by these cries of non partlsanship.That is simply a myth that will disappear. The principles of the Republican party have been worked out through long years and they are fixed upon a rock.

No temporary fad can long affect it. When Republicans realize the importance of this election, as they certainly will, and stand firmly by their principles the victory will be won, and the control of our great city will remain in the hands of people who have shown their ability to govern." CANDIDATES SPEAK. Republicans of the Twenty second Ward Greet Prendergast, Roberts, Turn bull and Others. The Republicans of the Twenty second Ward held a meeting last evening at 527 Fifth avenue. After a selection by an orchestra, Gustave Hening called the meeting to order.

Those who spoke in behalf of the Republican nominees were Charles Simpson, George M. Weeks and William H. Burtis. Later in the evening William A. Prender gast, candidate for Congress; Henry E.

Abell, candidate for Assembly; George H. Roberts, nominee for borough president; Senator Brush, George F. Elliott and J. G. Turn bull, candidate for county treasurer, made addresses.

Henry E. Abell said, in closing his speech: "The Citizens' Union, or Union Citizens, whatever you call them, propose to take this city out of politics and yet they are dickering with everything that comes along. They do not eschew politics. You cannot take politics out of an election. It Is connected with government." George F.

Elliott, referring to non partisan s'hip, said: "I liave no use for non partisanship. It is nonsenee and It is no thing less than anarchy. Non partisanship gave us the Cleveland administration. They say that Tracy will be fourth in the race, but listen to my figures. I also have doDe some figuring.

Five 'oundred thousand votes will be cast a't tho next election. George will get 100,000, Gleason 20,000, Low SO, 000, Prohibitionists and others 10,000, Van Wyck wiii get 110,000 and Tracy 180,000." Senator Brush said among other things: "I a dvoeated Low when I believed he would prove a unifying force, but when he became a separating force then the Citizens' Union and I parted company. I never had to go outside of my party to find a candidate good enough to vote Tor. I know Benjamin F. Tracy I am pleased to call him my friend.

If you live up to your principles, victory is sure on election day." A LECTURE ON MOSES. The Series on Bible Themes Continued by Dr. Humpstone. Last night, at the Central Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, the Rev. Dr.

John Humpstone, pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, delivered the third in his series of lectures on "Devotional Men and Themes of the Bible." The subject was "Mo sea: Discouragement Before God." Dr. Humpstone first treated of the causes of Moses' discouragement; then of its expression; thirdly, of its relief, and finally of the attendant judgments. In the course of his remarks the speaker said: "There Is nothing In the world so catching as discontent; nothing so disturbing as the spirit of murmuring. Moses had come through those tremendous spiritual experiences, and then there was a reaction. He was in danger of wearing himself out.

It Is the same with us to day. Men and women especially women very often go to the minister for spiritual comfort and counsel when they ought to go to the doctor.

There was rather a frosty meeting of the regular Democrats in Turn Hall, on Sumpter street, last night, although Edward M. Grout aroused those present to some enthusiasm when he spoke.

John Porter of the Twenty fifth Ward presided and the candidate for president of the borough was the first speaker. He dealt in generalities to a great extent but the audience applauded him liberally. Many of them left when he finished ami there were many empty seats when the other speakers made their addresses. Dr. H.

Enton of the Sixth Ward talked about the Raines law. He said the silent vote which had been stirred up over this iniquitous measure would be cast for Van Wyck. The legislation of the Republican party since it had been in power would also be rebuked, he maintained. He was followed by Thomas F. Larkin.

who spoke at some length. Charles Schlott. the candidate for alderman, and Henry Miller, the assembly candidate, were also introduced and spoke briefly. BIG RALLY OF DEMOCRATS. Senator McCarren and Edward M.

Grout at a Ratification Meeting in the Eastern District. The largest Democratic ratification meeting yet held in tSiE city was at Military Hall, Scholes and Leonard streets, last night. A big crowd gathered and at 8 o'ciock tho streets in the neighborhood were packed. Bergen's Band played and what it lacked in harmony it made, up in noise. Rockets were sent up and there was a huge bonfire.

The meeting was under the auspices of the Democratic general committee and was called to order by ex Coroner George R. Linsey. Mr. Connelly was permanent chairman and W. J.

Wynran secretary pro tern. Resolutions in ratification of Judgo Van Wyck and t'ne regular ticket were adopted. Pnil ip.D. Myajfiier In a speecn said that he believed that tne Raines law is 'the first of a series of inroads on home rule. He favored 'the making of Greater New York a state in itself.

Each other ticket in the field is a mongrel ticket. He begged the audience to remember the fundamental principles of Democracy and home rule. The vital question in es'tablis'hing the greater city is to get a man noble in Character and man is Van Wyck. Finally the speaker scored Seth Low as the "victim of a machine nomination." Believed George onco an hone.it man, but now a corrupt political aspirant. Senator P.

H. Mc Carren said that he hoped the people of the city had, made up the.r minds to be cajoled and buncoed no longer by the Republican party. There are, he said, two Republican candidates In tho field against tho Democratic ticket. He called to notice the record of Bird S. Color and Judge Van Wyck, tracing the latter's Dutch ancestry to tho great pleasure of his German audience.

Democrats had never been convicted ot corruption and in contrast hi? pointed out wherein the Republicans had done nothing else but rob the people. The Raines law had taken from the people avenues for honest employment. Every time Democratic administration has beon en Joyed, the streets have been well lighted, the police have been efficient and the schools well managed. Disgraceful squabbles had characterized Mayor Strong's administration. A Democratic victory this year will mean a Democratic governor next year.

Harry H. Dale, candidate for the Assembly, said he thought that Van Wyck could not possibly be defeated and called attention to the vote of Mr. Murray, his opponent, on the gas bill, last year. Edward E. Riegelman said that issues in this campaign are more Important than individuals, and Jacoo G.

Velton promised that if elected alderman he would 'be a good one. Edward M. Grout said that he had no use for non partisanship in elections. This year the Democratic party Is on the right side in demanding $1 gas, more bridges and better pavements. Nothing in the Republican party platform was for the benefit of the people.

Only the Democrats Insist on local issues. "No more giving away of franchises if wo win," he said. "The peoplo should control electric and gas franchises. William spoke against the Raines law as conceived in order to help the Republican party, and it had lowered the morals of the community. There was no organization of the meeting, each speaker being interrupted by persons in the crowd, who rose to go out and let others in.

About 10:30 o'clock the audience decided they had had enough and went away. SOLD FOR BOARD BILLS. Luggage Belonging to Delinquent Lodgers Disposed Of at the Hotel St. George. Hyam, the auctioneer, had his hands full yesterday morning in managing the auction sale of trunks and valises, with their contents, sold for expenses of storage and for unpaid board bills due to Captain Tumbridge of the Hotel St.

George. There were twenty seven trunks, with numerous valises, ranging in qualfties and size from the modrit little steamer trunk or the ordinary leather hand bag to the two story anil extension Saratoga, and tho sole leather dressing case. The bidding began slowly on the first ct, Which was described as "trunk ami con tem'tfi," with the emphasis on the contents, and after considerable urgency on the auctioneer's part, Captain Tumbrldge offered oO cents for the trunk. One veteran buyer of auction goods went over and lifted the article and immediately raised it to $1 and then looked frightened. But several others took courage from his action and the bids rapidly advanced to $3.50, when the captain bid $4 and secured the prize.

After this it was easy sailing for him, and he secured most of the goods for prices varying from 50 cents for a trunk and valise, to $6 for three trunks in a bunch. Of course one can never tell how much a trunk has in it by the weight or size, especially one belonging to a delinquent boarder, but as the captain knew that, none of those on hand had belonged to any members of the chorus of a theatrical company and that tho board bills they were held for amounted to $1 he thought they might have some wardrobe that would repay their purchase. The sale realized $34 and tbe purchases were carried back to the hotel am! again lodged in tbe store room in the vain hope that their owners might try to redeem them before it is too late.

Stuart Robson, as Dromlo of Syracuse long ago came to be regarded as prominent In his way as a Shakspearean scholar and actor; therefore, it was not otherwise to be expected than that tho Montauk Theater should be well filled last evening at the presentation ot "The Comedy of Errors." There were present many well known Brooklyn ltes, who must have remembered the actor's first appearance in the part with William H.

Crane as Dromlo of Ephesus. Mr. John L. Wooderson took 'Mr. Crane's part and fully met all expectations.

Ho was like Robson without Mr. Robson's funny squeak in his voice, which is his copyright. The cast was entirely adequate, the costumes rich and the play was very handsomely mounted, the third act giving a perspective view of Ephesus and the fifth act in a moonlight scene before the convent being especially beautiful and received with applause. Mrs. Robson had the difficult part of Adriana and she lent passion to the lines, while she was ably seconded by Miss Gertrude Perry as Luciana.

Miss Perry's enunciation was especially clear and delightful in modulation. Thomas A. Wise at Aegeon, the aged merchant, who in the first act in the form or an epilogue strikes the key note of the play, was roundly applauded for his reading ot the verses and his art in varying the expression in the long speech to the Duke of Ephesus, Joseph Keefe. Augustus Halbach and John Webster, as the twin brothers, An tipholus of Syracuse and Eptiesus, respectively, were admirably fitted to their parts. Tho spectacular sensation of the evening was the appearance of two diminutive colored boys as messengers, wearing only a brief raiment and two very earpanslv "mil8 There were come changes in the characters from the i.
