AB0UT5HYLDGKAND OTHELLO ful bishops Intent on the erection of gigantic buildings; much labor was given gratis by enthusiasts who could give nothing else, and large sums were obtained by indulgences. Whatever the methods there is no doubt but that the forgotten bishops of the middle ages were past masters in the art of securing funds for building purposes." With the cathedral of Notre Dame as the keynote, Mr. Ferree reproduced, so far as existing structures permitted, a picture of mediaeval Paris, with Its great church and its picturesque dwellings. Notre Dame Itself was illustrated in every part with a superb series of photographic illustrations, and the pictures thrown on the screen comprised, In addition, a beautiful series of restorations of old Paris, with reproductions of old engravings and other contemporary illustrations of destroyed buildings. The reproduction of mediaeval Paris for the exposition of the present year was.

also shown. Many of these pictures had never been reproduced before for lantern illustrations, and they added largely to the Interest of the lecture. dent of the Baltimore Church Extension Society. Although very successful in his ministry, he was led, after careful study, to embrace the doctrines of the Episcopal Church, and accepted a call to the curacy of St. James' Church in Brooklyn, under the rectorship of the Rev.

Charles W. Homer. D. D. He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Little John in 1893.

In the fall of isrq he received his first appointment, to St. Mark's parish, Paterson, N. of which Mr. Evans was rector for five years. In that time a church was erected and paid for and under the conservative but energetic management of the rector the membership grew to three hundred and fifty, and at the present time the parish is one of the most important ones In New Jersey.

The call to the rectorship of the Church of the Resurrection was extended to Mr. Evans before he visited the parish or officiated in the church. The parish is about twenty five years old. The first rector was the Rev. Joshua Kimber, now associate secretary of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Episcopal Church.

Among the former rectors are the Rev. William A. Matson, D. now a resident of Richmond Hill; the Rev. Henry B.

Bryan, canon of the Cathedral at Garden City and Archdeacon of Queens and Nassau, and the Rev. George W. Davenport, who resigned last November, to become rector of the Church of the Redeemer at Astoria. Finances of St. John's.

March 17 The Congregational parish of this place celebrated last Thursday as a fast day, following out a custom which this church has observed for upward of one hundred and fifty years. The services were conducted at the bour of the regular Sunday morning service, by the pastor, the Rev.

E. Lyman Hood, assisted by several of the leading and oldest worshipers of the society. There was a large attendance present, and an interesting programme of musical' numbers, addresses and responsive readings was given. The Aquebogue Society is about the only one on the island that still observes the time honored custom of an annual fast day. The society was organized in 1750, but was reorganized in 1758 by the Rev.

Elisha Payne of Southampton. It was named the First Strict Congregational Church of Southold, of which. Riverhead Town was then a part, but it is now commonly called "Steeple Church" and is a landmark. The organization was the result of a separatist movement on Long Island during the Davenport revival in Connecticut and Massachusetts, which was carried to this section in 1740, or thereabouts, by the revival of Jonathan Edwards. The members who originally organized the Aquebogue Society seceded from the Presby terial Society of Lower Aquebogue, now Jamesport, and the old church was established in 1731.

Several of the members of this church had listened to the preachings of the Davenport faith in their Presbyterial society and decided to make a change of gov the dedication of the Church of the Nativity at Mineola, at which there will be special sermons by visiting clergymen.

Two Rival Parties Contending for the Mastery at the Coming Election. WALLACE AND COX AT ODDS. Some of the Candidates Who Will Ask the Suffrages of the Villagers Next Tuesday. (Special to.

the Eagle.) Freeport, L. March 17 Next Tuesday's election will decide the most exciting political contest in the history of this village. The leaders of the opposing factions are ex Assemblyman George and William G. Miller, president of the village since its incorporation eight years ago. At the primaries of the People's party on March 2, at which 300 voters of the village were present, the ticket led by Mr.

Wallace for president was victorious over that presented by the other faction by a majority of about 40. Xot feeling satisfied that their cutire voting strength was shown at the primary and believing that the interests of the village demanded a continuance of the present administration the supporters of the Miller ticket urged their candidates 10 run independently for office, and a citizens' ticket was made up as follows: For president, William G. Miller; for trustees for two years. Smith Cox and Daniel Morrison; for treasurer. E.

Barrleit Helland; for collector. John E. Golding. The regular ticket Is as follows: For president, George Wallace; for trustees for two years, William H. Patterson and Captain William Raynor; for treasurer.

Fletcher C. Willis; for collector, Elvln A. Dorlon. All the candidates on both tickets with tho exception of Captain Raynor who is retired, are prominent business men of the village. Williim G.

Miller, the citizens' candidate for president, who has served in thai capacity since the incorporation of the village, in 1S92, is a partner of John J. Randall, with whom he successfully labored to transform th'e little hamlet of Freeport with its small colony of bouses and extensive tracts of farm and woodland into a large and thriving village and prominent summer resort. In addition to being president, Mr. Miller served for five years a3 member of the Board of Education and declined nomination for a sixth term. He has always been public spirited, and it was in a measure due to hie efforts tht.t the excellent water and electric light system, the efficient Fire Department, the brick school building and other improvements were secured.

The Woodcleft channel, which provides a direct water way to the ba. is also of the extensive improvements the enterprise of Mr. Miller has accomplished. His opponent, George Wallace. Is an active Republican politician, and served nine years as Justice of the peace in Her pstead Town, also one term as Assemblyman from the Third District.

He aspired to the county Judgeship of Nassau upon its creation two years ago. but was defeated by Robert Sea bury of Hempstead. Mr. Wallace is a native of Canada but has lived in Freeport since his youth. He was also counsel to the Town Board until recently, when he resigned after a controversy with John Williamson over an electric light franchise.

During his career at Albany. Mr. Wallace secured the passage of an act to compel New York City to dredge Freeport and other creeks in Hempstead township to a depth of three feet at low water. The passage of this measure, and the securing of several Judgments against the city for alleged damage to oyster beds and ice ponds here have given Mr. Wallace a strong following among the bay men, who voted unanimously for him at the primary, and will no doubt sustain that vote on election day.

The contest for president, however, is not where the fight centers. Thn trnstoeshir, ic the principal office which both sides are maKing strenuous efforts to secure. Of the candidates on the citizens' Mr kt fr, thi nr. flee, the fight will be against Smith Cox, who has served six years in the board and is also supervisor oi me town. It is well known that there is no love lost between Mr.

Wallace and Mr. Cox and the fact that some of Mr. Wallace's recent bills for legal services to the town and county have not met with Mr. Cox's approval has widened the breach. During his term as trustee Mr.

Cox has favored every public improvement and as supervisor recently drafted a bill taxing improvements on Brooklyn water works property now exempt under the city charter. If this bill becomes a law, it will save Freeport about $2,500 yearly in taxes. Daniel Morrson, the running mate of Mr. Cox, has been a hard worker during his two years in the board. He served on the water and light committee with Trustee Sprague and watched carefully all matters pertaining to the progress of the new electric light plant, one of the finest on Long Island.

The People's party candidates. William H. Patterson and William Raynor. are well known and popular citizens of the village. The former is a butcher and extensive oyster planter.

He has never aspired to office and took the nomination reluctantly. Captain Raynor is over 60 years of age and was for several terms trustee of Milan, O. For the treasurcrship F. C. Willis and E.

Bartlett Helland. the incumbent for the past year, will have, it is believed, a close contest. No dissatisfaction existed concerning Helland's administration of affairs, but he was downed with the old ticket. Both candidates are in business and well qualified. The collcctorship lies between E.

A. Dorlon and John E. Golding. who served the past two years and made a good record. The payment of the past year's taxes from New York City, considerably overdue, was persistently urged by Mr.

Golding. and it was largely through his efforts, it is claimed, the money was secured. Both factions ire making a house to house canvass and soliciting votes by circulars. It is expected the largest vote in the history of the village will be polled. The Citizens' party has adopted a yacht for its emblem and the People's party ticket will bear two oysters on the half shell as its insignia.

SAG HARBOR STRIKE OVER. Engravers Go to Work To day After Being Idle Two aTonths. Sag Harbor, L. 17 The engravers' strike in the Fahys Watch. Case Factory at this place has at last been satisfactorily arbitrated and the men returned to their benches to day.

Seven weeks ago eight engravers were discharged for alleged incompetency and slack work. The remaining men demanded their reinstatement, and when the firm refused it the whole department laid down their tools and struck. Since that time repeated and continued ef forts have been made to came to some mutual agreement, both on the part of the engravers and the Fahvs Company, and what was at first thought to be a matter of small import ance and of short duration has covered a per loa ot nearly two moinns. Various propositions submitted by either side have been persistently i ejected, until the whole question of work or no work for the engravers hinged on the reinstatement of a single man, one William Gray, whom the company refused to re employ under any consideration. He left town yesterday for Canton, where he has received employment, and the settlement of the trouble followed.

About thirty men returned to work this morning, the balance having obtained work elsewhere some time slnre. RATHJEN APPOINTED PATMASTER Jamaica. L. March 17 John H. Rathjen of Long Island City was yesterday appointed deputy paymaster of the City of New York.

Ticknor, M. Thinks the Characters Have Been Placed in a False Light. WORLD'S GREAT BUILDINGS. parr Eerree Talks Entertainingly of Cathedrals of Olden Days Notre Dame in Legend and History. loward Malcom Ticknor, M.

of Boston, under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, commenced a series of lecture readings, yesterday afternoon, in the Art Building on Montague, street. The subject chosen was "A Comparative Study of Shylock and Othello." A number of illustrative readings added much to the interest of the occasion. Mr. Ticknor spoke in part as follows: "The intelligent and instructed American, resident in Venice, be he artist, consul or plain pleasure seeker, has often opportunity to amuse himself at the expense of the average traveler 'doing' the city under the tutelage of a gondolier or a valet de place. He overhears these wanderers chatting crudely in gallery, palace, piazza or cafe, wondering if Marino Faliero were so called because of his sea service, if the revolutionist whose portrait was pointed out were one 'of that doge and so on.

But he usually finds their ideas pretty clear about Othello, Des demona, Portia and Shylock; they have insisted on seeing the supposed residences of the personages, and they have been at the Rialto and have endeavored to discover in which of the great halls of the ducal palace the case of Antonio was adjudicated. But there is a deeper reason than such chance collocation for taking up Shylock and Othello as the joint subject of a little analytic study. And this is that, commonly upon the stage and as frequently in literature, their characters are presented in what appears to the student a false light. They are dwelt o'n as illustrations of savage and almost furious native passions, seeking each to gratify hatred, revenge and destructiveness by the death of some one person upon whom all these evil dispositions are concentrated." The speaker then went on to show why he thought this was an erroneous conception of the characters under discussion, why he thought they were men of strong intellect but of violent passions. Shylock, it was shown, justified logically and proportionately every step he took, while Othello resisted strategically every approach of Iago, demanding ocular proof of what he believed to be foreign to Desdemona's nature as he knew it.

These positions were illustrated by consecutive readings of the principal scenes, tracing the gradual development of Shylock's positive and Othello's negative argumentation, and the slow accumulation upon them of compulsory circumstances. A very large audience gathered in the Art Building on Montague street, last night, to listen to Barr Ferree's fourth lecture of the course which he is giving on "The Great Buildings of the World." The lectures are being given under the auspices of the department of architecture and fine arts of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. The subject dealt with last night was "Notre Dame in Legend and History." Mr. Ferree spoke in part as follows: "The building genius of mankind has been developed in the erection and adornment of two great classes of buildings: dwellings and temples. Buildings for worship have always been of more importance than buildings for human dwellings.

It is the temple and the church that have received the greatest attention from all builders, and it is on them that the artistic genius of the race has been lavished. But the religious building was not only a structure to be decorated; it. was itself the inspiring cause of all that, in the past, was greatest in art. This is true of antiquity, of Egypt, of Greece and of Rome; it is true of the middle ages; It is true of much of the art of the renaissance. Religious art is the only art that has survived the wear and tear of time, and is the chief source of our knowledge of the art of all ages.

The Egyptians, Greeks and Romans built massive and splendid palaces, but the most accomplished of archaeologists cannot reproduce them as they were. Some castles and fortresses of the middle ages have survived to our day, but they do not compare in beauty, in extent or in number with the magnificent churches of the same period. At the time of the renaissance so many churches had been or were being built that in the new life then developing men turned their attention more and more to houses and palaces. Only in our own time has the commercial building, the modern American office building, become the supreme and characteristic structure of civilization. "Of the buildings that made the mediaeval City of Paris the most important that are still intact are the Cathedral of Notre Dame and the Sainte Chapelle, both masterworks of Gothic art.

Paris contains some other Gothic churches, but none of the importance of these, and some fragments of mediaeval secular buildings have also survived, though they scarcely count in the many superb structures that later time gave to the French metropolis. The cathedral of Paris is not only a very great church, but it is a tvpe of the greatest buildings erected in Europe in the middle ages. And it is not only a type of some of the most important buildings ever erected, but it set the fashion, so to speak, of all the great churches built in northern France at that time. It is a landmark in Gothic architecture; it summed up in itself everything that had preceded it which could or did Influence the evolution of Gothic architecture. Not perhaps the first full flower of Gothic building, it was the first reallv great church to contain all the principles and all the beauty of the previous efforts toward the end it represented.

And it is so complete and so perfect that nothing done afterward in that style added to it. More gorgeous churches were built, but the style itself, the elements we call Gothic, are completely contained in the Cathedral of Notre Dame "In the year 1160 the episcopal throne of Paris was filled by Maurice de Sully, one of the most famous bishops of the twelfth century, and a prelate who achieved immortal fame as the founder of Notre Dame. it was one of the strange results of the feudal system that the Bishop of Paris was one of the feudal lords of the King of France, who did homage to him for certain fiefs held by the French crown. We do not know that King Louis VII acted as one of the bearers who carried Maurice into his cathedral on the day of his enthronement, as was his duty, but he certainly was represented on that occasion. "There is no building mat fills the place in modern life that the cathedral did in mediaeval life.

We have our institutions, our churches, our theaters, clubs and schools; a separate structure for every activity. The middle ages had only the church. There were palaces and great dwellings and some public Duildtngs in the large cities; but the church was the one universal building of the time. It was used all the time; not simply thrown open on one day a week and at convenient hours. Its specific purpose was a house of prayer; but it was also a house of learning; and at times it was frankly used as a place for public amusements.

It was the one building of every city and town that was open to all the people all the time; and hence the mediaeval church filled and held a much more important place in the minds of the people than the most pretentious of modern church buildings enn undertake to do under the most favorable auspices. All the learning of the middle ages was centered in the church. The monasteries were not only refuges from the world, but they were busy hives of industry and the saviors of culture. The secular churches those not on the care of the monastic clergy occupied somewhat different position In the public record; but the wonderful building activity or the twelfth century, which culminated in the thirteenth and only collapsed in the fourteenth century hecause of the dreadful wars thnt devastated Europe, had its origin In the rivalry of the bishops and "Looking back from our modern standpoint of nmazement at the works of the mediaeval church builders, the most Important problem they present, is how the funds wero obtained for these prodigious undertakings. Every considerable town in Europe hod its Important, church, and ninny of i.hem lmve several; each one more Important as monument of nrt than ten modern churches.

We can never appreciate how nil Ihls building energy was realized because wo cannot place ourselves In the mediaeval point of view. But It Is very clear that unheard of treasure wns poured out In these undertakings. Money was received by gift; nil Europe was ransacked by power OBITUARY LONG ISLAND. William C. Smith.

Parish Meeting Postponed. Riverhead, L. March 17 A parish meeting of the Riverhead Congregational Church called for to night to engage a new minister to succeed the Rev. William I. Chalmers, who recently resigned, has been postponed for one week, but an executive meeting of the church trustees has been called for the evening by Nat C.

Foster. The parish meeting of a few weeks ago voted informally to call the Rev. Joseph A. Fisher, who has preached during Mr. Chalmers' illness, but the salary' he asks is considerably more than the church has been in the habit of paying.

Though the reason for the postponement o' to night's parish meeting was stated to be the salary question, it is said that some of the conservative members want to know more about Mr. Fisher's career before making him their permanent pastor. To this end the officers of the church have been in correspondence with officials of Mr. Fisher's former charges and Deacons Foster and Terry visited Brooklyn this week on the same errand.

At all druggists'. Pike's Toothache Drops Cm in One Minute, Hale's Konsy of and Tar eminent in the church; so at one of the meetings a number of the members arose at a given signal and proceeded to a house near the Lower Aquebogue Church and organized the present Congregational Society of Upper Aquebogue. This was a complete victory for the Davenport movement. The original number of members of this church was 16, but the church has since grown in influence until, at the present day, it numbers nearly 200 members; the Sunday school, 135, and the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor about 70. The prayer meetings are also well attended, and the congregation on.

Sundays is usually very large. Among'the sixteen original members these are known: Nathaniel Wells, Jonathan Reeve, Deborah Corwin. Richard Howell, Timothy Wells, Anne Moore, Prudence Luce, Hannah Herre, May Wells, Eleanor Luce, Annie Youngs, Abiah Sweezy, Sarah Howell and Abiah Luce. Descendants of nearly all of these still continue to worship at the shrine of their forefathers. The first meetings of the society were conducted in the houses of the members, but It was not many years until a house of worship was erected.

The first pastor of the church was Timothy Wells, one of the sixteen original members gien above. He was ordained as pastor October 25, 1759. The records say that he was "an uneducated man. but of deep and ardent piety." He was a native of this section, and died in 1783. The Aquebogue society has the distinction of being the mother of nearly all the Congregational churches in Suffolk County, as offshoots from this church organized the societies at Wading River, in 1785; at Mount Sinai, in 1789; at Baiting Hollow, in 1791; al Patchogue, In 1793.

and at New Village, in 1815. In 1834 enough members seceded to establish the Congregational Church at North ville, and a church of the same denomination at Riverhead. All of these churches are in a flourishing condition to day.

Lyman Hood, the present pas tor. Mr. Potter's Charge a City Church. Flushing, L. March 17 The report that the Rev.

R. Harmon Potter, pastor of the Flushing Reformed Church, is likely to receive a call from a wealthy and influential Brooklyn chuich in the near future, has created considerable comment and is the absorbing topic In Flushing church circles just now. This report is the result of a visit of a committee from a Brooklyn church, who heard the Rev. Mr. Potter preach at his church Sunday evening, as stated in the Eagle Monday.

An Eagle reporter called upon the Rev. Mr. Potter yesterday at his home in Parsons avenue and asked him if he had received a call to the pastorate of the Brooklyn church, or if he was expecting any. All that the Rev. Mr.

Potter would say for publication was: "I have received no call to any other church and I have no reason to expect that one will be extended to me. I never come to a decision in a matter until the occasion for exercising it arises. So I can say absolutely nothing about what my future course will he." However. It is known to the members of the consistory of the Reformed Church that Mr. Potter is likely to receive a call from one or more churches in the near future, and every inducement will be offered to continue Mr.

Potter in his present field. One of the members said yesterday: "Mr. Potter would make a grave mistake in leaving Flushing at this time. He has become acquainted with every person in the remotest way connected with the church. He is greatly beloved by all and his field of work here is just opening up to grand possibilities.

Mr. Potter is an eminently sensible man, and I think no one sees these things more clearly than he. "The Flushing charge Is now a city church and Mr. Potter has as important a field as he could find anywher" in the city. The only inducement churches in the other boroughs could offer that he has not here Is more money.

Our church is willing to do better by him in this respect than we are doing now. He has built up our church, and as our resources increase we are willing to assist him also." New Pastor at Richmond Hill. Richmond Hill, L. March 17 The Rev. William P.

Evans, the new rector of the Church of the Resurrection, has received a hearty welcome from the members of his parish and the church services have boon attended by large congregations.

After finishing his studies at Gettysburg. Mr.

Evans was ordained a minister of the Lutheran Church in 1873. IIo became pastor of a church in Columbia. und afterward in Baltimore. Md.
