The prisoner was Mrs. Margaret Ireland, 60 years old, Eighteenth avenue, Bath Beach. When Judge Nostrand asked her if she was intoxicated, she said no and added that she did not drink liquor. Further questions on the part of the judge elicited a confession from the old woman that she was addicted to the use of laudanum and paregoric. She was sent to jail for ten days BREN rWOOD NOTES.

Some of the leaders here say that there is a possibility that they will, while others say there is a stronger possibility that they will aot. In the last few years the convention has almost resorted to begging a man to allow his name on the tickets; very few of them see any fun, honor or business in being placed on the tickets with not a ghost of a show of success.

LONG ISLAND OBITUARi RECORD al habits, traditions, heroes, literature nct polity. These matters have been peculiar to themselves. They have been characteristic of Unitarians everywhere. Unitarians have loved them. They have not cared for any close association with Unlversalists, whose traditions, polity and denominational atmosphere were all vastly different If we have deemed them too radical, they have found us unprogresslve.

If we have not sympathized with their view of Jesus, they have had no enthusiasm for our doctrine of the triumphant love of the Father. If we have deemed their I polity a premium on negations and the affilia tlon of opposites and contradictions, they hava I regarded our profession of faith. as a fetter 1 upon the reason and a bar to the fellowship of noble souls. These are some of the major matters which have kept and will always keep these two religious bodies separate. "Yet for the sake of the many things hold in common, there ought to be as there la growing to be, larger affiliation and fellowship.

The two denominations have learned much from each other; and not the least of the lessons is a mutual respect. A fuller unity will come without organic union. It is better to have unity of spirit than union of organizations. That, thank God, is growing event year. "So for one, bid God speed to this brave and earnest body of devout souls.

May. they grow to larger life and usefulness with evepr cycle of the sun. May they draw nearer toi the whole Church of Christ, and be filled with the Spirit which under diversity of adminla 1 tratlon acknowledges the same Spirit." NOTES FOR THE FARMERS. January 1, according to the goverrmierat'a tlmate, there were in this country 36,818.613 sheep. Averaging the clip at six pounds per head.

th domestic crop of wool for 1897 Is about J31.OOO.0OO pounds. A half billion dollars is the amount, which, according to the estimates made by the experts of the Agricultural Department, the farmers of this. country will receive for their 1897 crops in excess of what they received i 1896. The largest consumers of fertilizers are the farmers of Maryland. That la to say, considering the average size of Maryland's farms a larger weight and greater value of fertilizers ore employed than is the case in any other state.

Hop picking is in full blast in Schoharie County and the crop la a light one Nebraska is to entertain the National Irrigation. Congress this year, on September 28, 29 aifcd 30, In Lincoln. It is the sixth annual session. Wheat advanced in price because the crop of Europe, India and South America did not come up to the average yieid. Immense areas of cabbages were planted in this part of New York.

In the spring it was estimated that for Cl arkson and Hamlin townships, Monroe County, It wouCd require 2,000 cars to ship the crop. The San Jose scale is proving very injurious to fruit trees and nursery stock In many parts of fba Middle and Eastern states heretofore free from it. The butter and cheese trade has assumed immense proportions. The approaching annual winter conventions of the various dairy therefore, promise to be of exceptional interest Road mtaklng is to be a subject of study and experiment at title agricultural colleges. The 1807 crop of hay is one of the largest oa record.

That of 1893 was much the same, buc from a greater acreage, while the crop of tba present year is greatly in excess of either ot the past three years. This Is deci dedly an off year in winter apples, taking the country at large, and there wiCi be nothing ilke the burdensome yield of 1898. The secretary of agriculture liopes to develop a plan for supplying horses for use in European armies, and is said to be considering the feasibility of sending abroad an expert to Investigate the needs of the cavalry of Europe, with a view to meeting this need by American bred horses. No form of lime loses anything by exposure, aa some suppose. Water and air slaked lime, by exposure, change gradually into carbonate lime.

Don't feed lot of cockerels after they are of a marketable age. Get them off the place and get the money for them. Kansas has 352,538 milch cows, am increase during the twelve months of 36,963. Cattle other than milch cows have Increased 2 1 per cent, in the same time, making the number 1,603,934. A farmer of Wells, is endeavoring to induce the state treasurer to reimburse 'him for damages done to his crops by deer.

When butter and milk bring low prices th profits of the dairy are often found in the manure pile. Don't waste the profits. The results of various trials declare corn to be the most profitable grain for fattening sheep. But practice teaches that other grains must be fed witn it. No 'agricultural people thrive who buy grain or meats and pay for them with the price of other farm products.

The tariff has settled the question of sheep raising and wool growing with farmers and flocls masters. The despised sheep is again respected and will take its place among the valuable stock on the farm.

COLEMAN ADAMS REVIEWS THEIR WORK. He Bids "God Speed to This Brave and Earnest Body of Devout Souls" Reasons Which Have Retarded the Growth of Unitarian Ideas. Dr. John Coleman Adams preached yesterday morning, at All Souls' Universalis! Church, on "Our Allies, the Unitarians." He said: "The past week has been distinguished by an event which gives me occasion to say a number of things which it seems to me ought to be said concerning our friends and neighbors in faith, the Unitarians of America. The national conference of Unitarian churches, at Saratoga, was, as it always is, a noteworthy occasion.

It brought together some of the brightest and ablest men and women in the Unitarian body. It was the occasion of some thoughtful and brilliant papers by men of national fame. The Unitarian conference is not a body in which legislation predominates. It is rather, as its name implies, a meeting for the discussion of the many questions which interest the religious world to day, with relatively little business such as is transacted by such bodies as the triennial convention of the Episcopal Church or our own general convention. But brings this interesting religious body prominently before the public and affords au occasion to say a word as to their status and influence and to study the characteristics of a most important body of religious people.

For Uni'tarlanlsm has been one of the important factors in the religious life of this country. Originating in a revolt against some of the extreme doctrines of Calvinism, it became one of the mode radical forces claiming any place in Christendom. At first it was too conservative' to wish to leave the Congregational Church, and it came to be so radical as to be almost Indifferent to the Christian name. Its early believers were only the liberal wing of the Congregational ists, its present day constituency are in effect the Christian wing of the free religionists. It fell under the leadership of men who had a chief interest in the ethical and critical development of religion, and it followed them Into a discipleship of the most extreme positions inside the Christian church.

But in the course of this career, Unitarianism has championed some of the noblest doctrines of nineteenth century thought. It has stood for the Biinrpmsjcv nf reason over tradition in things theological. It has insisted on reading the letter of the Bible in tne ngnx ui man intellect and conscience, rather than submitting mind and conscience to the dictum of the mere letter of the scriptures. It has maintained a faith in the essential dignity and goodness of human nature. It has Insisted on the humanity of Jesus, the Christ.

It has presented a pure theism, a belief in the Oneness of the Supreme Life. "Unitarianism has, therefore, been the ally of the forces of rationalism in religion. It has done incalculable service in teaching thoughtful men and women here in America to be brave and honest in their religious life. It has forced the orthodoxy of our day to a more rational treatment of the scriptures. It has helped most signally to correct t'ae self contradictions and the absurdities of Trlnitarianism.

It has welcomed the truth which science has taught the century. It has given a noble impulse to the ethical life of our times. It has had the inestimable privilege of sharing the fame of so many of the brightest literary men of a generation gone, who In turn shared its spirit and uttered much of its message Emerson and Longfellow, Lowell and Bryant and Holmes. Of course all this career in theological and ethical life has driv en the Unitarian very, far from his theological starting point, and has put him into marked and strenuous hostility to the orthodoxy of to day. He has been driven far afield.

He has borne uhe mark and stigma of heresy. He has known all the bitterness of the odium theologicum, and has found his name become a synonym of infidelity and of skepticism. And as well as certain others of the liberal sects has been the seed ripened in his fields sown under another name in the fields of orthodoxy and (his trutbs received with Joy when he himself is persona non grata. "Under these circumstances It Is not strange that Unitarianism has not grown more in numbers. It has but about 375 or 400 churches, with somewhat more ministers.

It is among the smallest of the sects, smaller even that the Universalist Church. And though it carried for years the selectest social circles in New England, though It was re enforced by scholarship and backed bv Harvard College, it has not in creased and multiplied on the face of the earth a tact it were well for some grumblers in our ranks to note! Perhaps some of these very things have hindered the growth of the Unitarians. Perhaps they were too respectable and did not care to carry their gospel to the masses. Thus saith John Chadwiek: has not been a good thing for Unitarianism that it has been attainted as a doctrine suitable only for the rich and cultivated." I think It was Dr. James Freeman Clarke who called Harvard College "an incubus on the breast of Unitarianism." There are a good many Unitarians who are rather glad that the Episcopalians have come into their old inheritance of wealth and fashion in Boston.

Large churches are only made up of what this world counts the small people; and they who address themselves to large names and large numbers generally miss both. Of late years Unitarianism is turning to the common people and a gocd many of the common people are hearing Its preachers gladly. But there has been one serious obstacle In the way of the growth of Unitarianism. It is Its attitude toward Jesus and toward the Bible. Whether It has been misunderstood or not, its thought about the spiritual Lord and Master of Christendom has been that of the critic rather than that of the disciple; and its impatience of creed has been construed into an unwillingness to be led by the Master.

So of Its thought in reference to the Bible. In its intense sympathy with the extreme and often untenable views of the higher criticism, Unitarianism has Incurred the suspicion of many to whom its noble proclamation of great truths Is a welcome and helpful message. "That is probably the reason why the Uni versaliscs of America have so long stood alo of from Unitarianism. The question is often asked why do not the two denominations unite? What is the difference which keeps them apart? Are they not duplicating each other's work and would nor. energy and money be saved by a coaiition, an organic union between them? "To this, I want to say, first that there are doubtless many points held in common by these two bodies to day.

Universal ism Is in harmony with very much that is taught by Unitarians to day. Nay more; its own teachers anticipated in this country the cardinal points of Unitarianism. It was Unitarian, in the thought of the Great Master of Its theology, Hosea Ballou, before Channing. It was national in the spirit in which it went to the study of the Bible long before Hedge wrote. "Reason In Religion." It was asserting and practicing liberty of conscience and obedience to the soul's highest voice, long before the days of Emerson and the Transcendental Club.

But It has always claimed and loved Its place In the fold of Christian faith. It has refused to follow the Biblical crltios to the limit of their destructive theories. But most of all the attitude of Unitarianism in ire doctrine and spirit In relation to Jesus, denying that he is the Chrisc of God, and holding but faintly to the idea that He is the divinely appointed Master and Saviour of mankind, this has been the real, the chief reason for the fact that Unitarians and Universalists have stood apart. Then, too, it must be remembered that oniy within recent years have Unitarians received with any show of faith the great truth on which the Universalis Church has always stood, the belief In the final holiness of all men, the ultimate salvation of the whole human race. In its long and weary battle against orthodoxy upon' this great Issue of the faith, Uni versalism got no help from Unitarians In the earlier days.

The elder Unitarians kept aloof from the Universalist heresy. They would have none of it. They even took piins to disavow it; and it Is not quite certain that many of them are yet ready to affirm it. Such an attitude was not conducive to cordiality of feeling. When your neighbor takes pains to disavow all sympathy with the matters for which you are pouring out the best energies of your soul, he is not likely to receive overtures to come and live with you! "In point of fact, the unwillingness had not all been on the Universalist side of the house.

Unitarians have had their own denomination A Fine St. Bernard Dog Causes Some Excitement at Bader's Yesterday Before Being Shot by Policeman. For a time yesterday a large St. Bernard dog had full charge of a section of Bader's Hotel, on the Boulevard, and was the center of attraction for guests and passersby alike. The dog was owned by Herbert F.

Meyer of 244 Schermerhorn street, and was valued at about $500. When Mr. Meyer alighted from his carriage and entered the hotel the dog followed him in. In passing from one room to another the dog's head was caught In a swinging door. He howled with pain and made a dash for the barroom.

Immediately there was a cry of "mad dog," and the bartenders fled from ihe room, leaving the dog In full possession. He howled, frothed at the mouth, and dashed from one side of the room to the other. In the meantime the guest3 of the hotel, who had not fled at the first shout of "mad dog," gathered around the barroom expecting to see an interesting time. Bicyclists passing on the path, pedestrians and people in carriages also gathered about the hotel to learn what all the excitement was about. Manager Lewis Plarrlson opened a rear window of the barroom and made a futile attempt to lasso the dog, which jumped through the window, scattering the crowd which had collected on all sides.

Then the dog made a bee line for the horse sheds, with a squad of policemen In close pursuit. The now thoroughly frightened animal crawled away under the floor of one of the sheds and then, the officers blazed away with their revolvers. It required a dozen shots to end his life. FIVE DOLLARS A KICK A comely little woman with dark hair and eyes and attired in an up to date bicycle costume of gray was the cynosure of all eyes in the Coney Island police court this morning, where she was charged with the violation of section 675 of the penal code. The prisoner gave her name as Mrs.

Emma Lott, 28 years old, of 304 West One Hundred and Thirtieth street, New York, and the complainant against her was Oflleer James Shay. According to the policeman's story Mrs. Lott, in company with several men, one of whom was her husband, created a disturbance and attracted a large crowd of people in front of Cohen's Hotel, on Surf avenue, last 'night. John Zenger of 319 West One Hundred and Twenty fifth street, New York, one of her companions, was holding his own derby hat high in the air and Mrs. Lott was making efforts to kick it, to the amusement of the crowd.

When the policeman appeared Mrs. Lott collapsed and cried all the way to the station house. She was bailed later by her husband and Zenger was locked up. Judge Nostrand sought an explanation from Mrs. Lott this morning, but she could not give any.

"I don't know as I kicked so very high," Judge," she said, repentantly. "How many times did she kick, officer?" asked his honor. "I guess I'll fine her so much a kick." Shay couldn't remember any more than two kicks, so the fine was Zenger got off with $15 fine. VOLUNTEER LIFE SAVERS SWIM. A large crowd of people witnessed the aquatic games given yesterday afternoon at Ulmer Park by the Coney Island Creek division of the New York Volunteer Life Savers' Association.

The Flatbush police are determined to break up a gang composed of boys between the ages of 12 and 20 that congregate on the street corners of the eastern section of the ward. Yesterday Patrick O'Nell, aged 16 years, was arrested for lounging, and this morning Justice Steers sent him to jail for a day with a warning that if he came back to that court on a similar charge he would get more severe punishment.

A RUNAWAY GIRL. Gertie Frank, 14 years old, of Canarsie, was charged with vagrancy before Judge Nostrand this morning by Policeman Joseph Walsh, who found her promenading Coney Island's Bowery at a late hour last night. The young girl's mother appeared in court and said that although her daughter had run away from home once before, she was prepared to forgive her and take her home. Judge Nostrand allowed her to go. NO CROWD AT CONiCY ISLAND.

Yesterday was a very quiet day at Coney Island and, notwithstanding the fine weather, the crowd was a surprisingly small one. The usual detail of forty policemen assisted the local force, but their presence was not needed, as only a few arrests were made. Three runaway accidents were reported at the police station during the afternoon, but in no case was any damage done. WASHED UP BY THE SEA. The body of an unknown man was washed ashore near the old iron pier at Coney Island yesterday morning and Is now lying at the Coney Island Morgue awaiting Identification.

The body Is that of a man about 60 years old, sandy beard and mustache and weighing about 200 pounds. From the clothing the police believe the man was a waiter. SENTENCE SUSPENDED.

An intoxication case quite out of the ordinary run came up before Judge Nostrand Suffolk County Conventions to Be Held To morrow and Wednesday. CANDIDATES ON THE SLATE.

Republicans Will Probably Renominate County Clerk Duval', Surrogate Petty and Assemblyman Post, Though the West End Leaders Object to the Dictation of the Riverhead Ring Contest for Members of the County Committee. The Democrats All at Sea With No One Willing to Be Sacrificed. (Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, L. 1., September 27 The Republican county convention for the nomination of candidates for county offices, the Republican First Assembly District convention and the Democratic First Assembly District convention will all be held in the Court House In this village to morrow evening, and the next evening the Democratic county convention will be held. From indications now it is almost certain that all the conventions for the most part will be harmonious gatherings.

It Is almost sure that all the nominations in the Republican conventions will be made by acclamation. The slate has been fixed up by the Republican party leaderB and William R. Du vall, the present incumbent, will be renominated for county clerk, with no opposition In convention whatever. Nathan D. Petty, also the present Incumbent, will be renominated for surrogate without a dissenting voice.

As semblymaD Erastus F. Post of the First District will undoubtedly be renominated, but on this nomination there Is a slight hitch among the party leaders. Some of these leaders say that Post has been to the Assembly enough and that he should step out and make room for someone else. Post has been to the Assembly twice already, and the established custom in this county, where a nomination on the Republican ticket is equivalent to an election, is to give a good official two terms and no more, providing someone else wants the office. In this case J.

N. Hallock, editor of the South old Traveler, wants the nomination for the Assembly. Post, although a good and conscientious official, is not popular among the rank and file of Republicans, while Hallock is considered an all around good follow, and for these reasons a kick has been made by many of the prominent Republicans against placing Post on the ticket again. It looks now, though, that, this little difference would be settled before the Assembly convention meets, and that Post would receive the nomination without any open hostilities In the convention; in fact a prominent leader in the Republican circle, one who is in a position to know, told an Eagle repre sentative that the difference had been smoothed over, and that Post would be named this year, which would be his last, and that Hallock had agreed to wait till next year. The Republicans of the west end of ihe county made a kick awhile ago aeainst plac ing Surrogate Petty and County Clerk Duval) on the.

ticket again for a second term each, saying that the Riverhead ring, in which it was alleged that these men were the most prominent leaders, was running things to suit no one but Riverhead Republicans and a few of their most intimate friends. These west end leaders said that they were tired of being dictated to and rounded into line every convention time and almost forced to do as the Riverhead ring wanted, and that they were not going to stand it any longer. It made no difference, said they, whether the gentlemen have had one term or more, we are going to have our say in the convention. When questioned about this state of affairs, and what effect it would have on tho convention of to morrow night, George T. Reeve, the secretary of the county committer, and several other party leaders in this place, told an Eagle representative that that kick was started by a few sore heads, who had got left in some previous years, and that it had no weight whatever with the orthodox leaders.

Mr. Reeve further said: "This is all passed now, and we anticipate no hostilities in the convention, whatever, on any of the names on the slate. After looking over the county these ktckera have found that Riverhead has no more men in office than any other town, in fact, at present, there are but two towns in the couoty that haven't a man in public office, and some have more than one. After learning this, these kickers have been coming down wonderfully of late." The Board of SuDervisors passed a resolution a short while ago reducing the number of superintendents of poor in this county from three to one. This wasn't relished by some of the good Republicans, and they openly aired their disapproval and almost threatened to force the supervisors to rescind this resolution.

It is stated upon good authority that the supervisors would undoubtedly have rescinded the resolution had not these people made such an outbreak. The Board of Supervisors are in session at Riverhead to day and some think that it is for the express purpose of taking action on that resolution, but a man who is in close touch with the workings of the board told tho Eagle representative that he thought it extremely doubtful if they even brought up the matter at all, much less rescind the resolution. If by chance they should do so it is too late to place, a man on the ticket for superintendent of poor, as the election notice issued by the Secretary of State does not call for the election of anyone for that office and the place would have to be filled by appointment. As matters are shaping themselves now, it looks as if everything In the convention would be harmonious until the matter of selecting a new county committee comes up. It is expected that there will be quite a strife and much interest evinced over this proceeding, the foundation and cornerstone of the strife being the post office affairs throughout the county.

At a meeting of the Republican County Committee held April Ifi. 1S.17, after making indorsements for all the post offices about the county, the body in session passed the following resolution: iteilved, Tha: we members of the Republican c. runty tini'iniaee do hereby pledge ourselves as in livMua nn.I as a to pmtaI hy nnd upho.d the fumre, and in a.ny oom which may be elected, should we "oe meni hrrs indorsement for olbVe made meeting. This naturally raised a howl among those who were seeking for post offices and got left. Their only retribution was to elect new members of the next county committee, who would upset previous indorsements and make new ones.

This idea has been carried out in nearly every town primary held in the county this fall, and more or less success has resulted for those who oppese the present county committee. At present It is only a matter of conjecture which side will win at convention. As to the Democratic conventions, to be held this week there doesn't seem to be a Democratic leader in the county who is able to foretell the result with any assurance that he is right. The Democrats in this county follow in the footsteps of forlorn hope. Year after year good men are placed on their ticket men who, it on the other side, would win hands down only to be snowed under by an avalanche of ballets on election day.

Now It has become almost Impossible to get what is considered a strong man to run on that ticket. In casting about for candidates to be placed upon the tickets this fall the leaders have approached such well known men as John S. Havens. George F. Homan, Robert R.

Pelletreau, ex Senator Edward Hawkins, Henry A. Reeve and others, only to be told that they did not wish anything at the hands of the convention, and would not accept It were it offered them. Havens was approached as to the assembly, but he declined. Nearly everyone in the county knows that he is a man who would honor the position in every respect, but that his chances of winning are nowhere In sight. It is thought now by some leaders that E.

0. Ryder may accept the nomination, but nothing definite can be learned. George F. Homan of Riverhead, a well known worker in the Democratic party, was mentioned ns a candidate for county clerk, but Mr. Homan emphatically told an Eagle man yesterday that he had informed the leaders that he would not take that nomination or any other under any circumstances.

Charles W. Peterman of Stony Brook and Selah S. Brewster of Port Jefferson have also been mentioned for county clerk, and Clinton V. B. Pedrick for surrogate, but whether these men Prominent in Century PROGRESS Common oatmeal is to what the candle light GAS AT $1.25 FOR FLUSHING.

Amended Application for a Franohise Filed by the Flushing Union Gas Company. Flushing, L. September 27 The Flushing Union Gas Company, which is applying for a franchise to enter Flushing, presented an amended application for a franchise at an informal meeting of the Flushing village trustees Saturday. The franchise as presented is practically the same as the former petition, excepting that portion concerning the furnishing of the cheap gas. The new parts of the petition are: "Your petitioner undertakes and agrees, that, if consent of the municipal authorities of the Village of Flushing Is Riven to It, as prayed for, it will furnish and deliver such Quantities of gas as may be required in the Village of Flushing, at pnd for the following prices: To private consumers, at the rate of 1.25 per 1,000 cubic feet: public buildings of the town, $1.

The company further agrees, under the amended application, to light the street lamps and keep the same clean and in repair for the sum of per lamp a year, the number of hours to be regulated by the schedule of hours governing the lighting of street lamps in' the City of Brooklyn, and further that all gas supplied shall have an illumination power of twenty eight candles. The company asks that the trustees take immediate action in this matter. The Flushing trustees have dicided to hold an informal meeting on October 4, when all parties interested will be heard. H. J.

Braker, president of the Flushing Gas Company, will oppose the application of the Union Gas Company. LADE W'S PRIZE CATTLE. Glen Cove, L. September 27 Mrs. Edward R.

The more attractive a town or village can be made to w'heelmen (a sexless term), the more ot them there will be to cultivate the acquaintance of such town or village, to the mutual advantage of both parties. The good roads agitation may properly be held to include good cycle paths. Moderate taxation for such an object would be one of the best Investments any community can make. It is especially true that eastern Long Island should give heed to this exhortation. Nature has done much in supplying gracious scenic effects, delightful vistas, varying views of land and water, meadows, fields, woods; and the material for firm surfaced paths Is in most places abundant.

It only needs some liberality of soul and some application of art to secure along every main thoroughfare of travel a good, hard, wide and safe path for the cycle a result devoutly to be wished.
