Our children are not imps of evil, or "bundles of depravity, or demoniac spirits let loose upon the earth to try arid harass parents. They are nascent, spiritual beings, bearing the distinct impress and Image of God, fresh from His molding hand.

What does Jesus say of them 'Of such is the. of "While yet very young, they are to be taught sweet and attractive views of God. He is to be presented to their minds as their Father' and Friend. He is not to be pictured to them as a detective or spy, waiting to overtake them, longing to discover them in some evil way that He may punish them! This 1b not our God, but a wretched travesty of the same. Oh, how I pity the young child brought in the ascetic school of religion, taught to take dark, gloomy and forbidding views of God and His rule over us! "Thff.religious life that is, the true service of God is' to be rationally and winsomely presented to young children.

This life is ndjt'ohe of stern asceticism, of painful self denial. We are not to represent it to them as a' dwarfed, cramped, starved, joyless life. It is something more than a life, of repression; of restraint and cross bearing. It is not made up of a list of negatives. The service of Christ is light, purity, joy, sweetness; dignity, strength, power, liberty, victory! Oh, how often painted in dark and spmber colors, and presented in Its merely negative aspects, to a young and growing chtld! Wemust not be blind to the natural characteristics of youth, or forget that the sunny landscape of Hope, outstretched before its eager eyes, is one of Its most precious possessions, the gift of God Himself.

Young people are to be religious as young people, and not after the manner of their elders. Strong meat for men, but milk for babes. "The home life should be made bright, winsome, attractive, full of all innocent elements of pleasure. If it be possible, the home should be made so bright and radiant. Its occupations and amusements so natural and entertaining, so full and satisfying, that the children win enthusiastically vote for home as' outclassing any other place on earth.

My, father had a strong sense of rectitude, and by; Suture was inclined to austerity of opin ibn'and practice, but the brightest memories I have of him are of the times when he would unbend and say, 'Children, let us have a game of The religious father in many a home may occasionally take a tumble on floor with the children, to their immense delight and to his own great proSt. Young Trevelyan long remembered the visits of his distinguished uncle, Lord Macaulay, to his childhood home and especially how the famous man delighted in the game of blind man's buff. How, in such a home of gladness, love and joy could the children long refuse the tender appeals of father and mother to devote their lives to the service of Him who is the Father of us "We are to train and discipline our children for God and His kingdom of righteousness, in the atmosphere of faith and prayer and under the stimulating Inspiration of hope. Blessed, thrice blessed, those children Whose parents Jive In the atmosphere of realized communion with God. More blessed still the Children' whose mothers pray them.

Eive Clubs Will Hold Their Shoots There This Week.

Interstate Park at Queens, L. Is fast becoming: a busy spot for trap shooters. There will be contests there to morrow, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The 'New "Utrecht Rod and Gun Club' has made arrangements to shoot at that place the year round. That club will send a team to the state shoot at Utica next month to compete for Dean Richmond trophy and while there President Walter F.

Sykes and his club mates will make a strong effort to have the state' shoot of 1901 decided at Interstate Park. Another club that will shoot hereafter at the. Queens grounds is the Fountain Gun Club, which will make its debut there on Thursday. Many of the members of the Crescent Athletic Club, who have, no chance to shoot at Owl's Head during the summer, go to" Queens and affiliate with other clubs. If the proposed plan of running streets through the present grounds Is carried out, it is probable that the Crescent Athletic Club shooting contingent will be found at Interstate Park next season.

To morrow the target shoot for the Sanders cup, now held by J. S. S. Remsen, will be the card at Interstate Parfc On Wednesday the New Utrecht Rod and Gun.Club will have a mid week shoot at live birds and the Fountain Gun Club will have its live bird contest the next day. On Friday the Medlcus Gun Club will have an open shoot at targets.

There will be two events at ten birds, three at fifteen birds, one at twenty birds and two at twenty five birds. The principal event will be a two men team race'for two cups. Each man Is to shoot at .100 birds, the team winning them three times to take the cups. All moneys will be divided under the Rose system. On Saturday, the New Utrecht and Chub Gun Clubs will have their weekly shoot.

Zettler Rifle Club Programme. ThoZettler Rifle Club will have two ranges Tor its outdoor tournament, which commences on the 19th. As has been previously published in the Eagle, its members were about equally divided on the question of Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning shooting, and also as to the selection of the shooting ground. Naturally, the Jerseymen wanted to continue shooting at Greenville, while the Brooklyn and Manhattan members of the club were, anxious to return to the old stamping ground at Cypress Hills Park, L. a place now managed by ex Supcrvlsor Martin Schoet tlerv It was finally decided that the Brooklyn men ahoot at Cypress Hills Park and the Jerseymen at Greenville, and that the members from Manhattan and other places should have the privilege of shooting at either ground.

Both detachments will shoot on tho same day. As It was learned, after a long trial, that Sunday morning shooting would not be permitted, Saturday afternoon was tho time decided upon and the first contest will take place next Saturday, other club days following every fortnight until October 6. As "there will be five Saturdays in Juno, however, and again In September, the contests In those two months will be on the first and third Saturdays. The shooting will be done at the ring 200 yards' range, offhand. Each member may shoot as many strings as he can during the time limit, his best three scores to count In tho record for the annual prizes.

It Is to bo hoped that the new arrangement will, make tho outdoor tournament of tho moat famous rifle club In the country more of 'a'sucoess than It has been for' tho two past years. Let an Officer Catch. Him Riding Without a Tag. Babylon, L. May 14 The first arrest of the season of 1900 for a violation of the Ellsworth sidepath law was made by Special Officer John Neville of Lindenhurst, who arrested Chester Ketcham of Babylon on a charge of using a sidepath without having purchased a license.

Mr. Ketcham is a well known member of the Klnga County Wheelmen. He makes his homo here, and was riding between this village and Lindenhurst when arrested. He wa3 arraigned before Justice Cooper and pleaded not guilty. He will be tried this evening.

He claims that he intended to nurchasc a 1900 license but did not know where one could be procured. The arrest of Mr. Ketcham has a great deal of comment, ho being well known all over the county and Island. There are some wheelmen who have all along claimed that the eidepath law is unconstitutional and have refused to comply with its provisions and they are urging Mr. Ketcham to fight the case at every point and carry it to the higher courts it he is defeated in the lower ones.

WORK ON QUEENS' COURT HOUSE. City's Right, to Re roof the Building Not Contested. Long Island City, L. May 14 John' W. Petry of Long Island City, who has received orders from Deputy' Commissioner of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies Joel" Fowler to put a new tin roof on the Court House, commenced work this in spite of.

the threat of the Queens County Board of Supervisors to secure an injunction from' the courts restraining the city authorities from, doing any work upon the building. As Mr. Petry is a close personal and political friend of Supervisor Kauffman, the chairman of the board, it Is said that probably the contractor, will not be disturbed in his work. The members of the board told Mr. Petry that thev had no 111.

feeling against him but that they merely wished to preserve their legal standing as' custodians of the building. It is said should the work be stopped by an injunction after the roof is partly torn off the entire interior of the building and handsome plush carpets and upholstered furniture would be seriously damaged.

The Value of Products in the Now Territory Increase many. Fold. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. May 14 The increased arei, of land being brought under cultivation this year in all parts of Queens and Nassau counties east of Jamaica attracts' the attention of. old Long Islanders.

Hundreds of acres between Jamaica and Hicksvllle that havo heretofore been used for pasturage, meadows or ordinary farm crops have been plowed uj this year for the raising of garden truck for the city markets. It is said that: this is a result of the exodus of truck farmer from Flatbush and Flatlands, Gravesend and New Utrecht, whose lands have been sold for building purposes. The most of them have started anew on the fertile and level plain lands of eastern Queens and of Nassau. The area of land under high cultivation la the above named section has been doubled during the past two or three years. The increase has also been largely due to the fine system of macadamized Toads in the two counties, which has caused the Kings County farmers to locate out that way: The farmers who sold out their farms at from $200, to per acre have moved, out into Suffolk, or have retired to live large amounts obtained for their farms.

The high class of farmisg carried on by th former west end farmers, who employ a man for every two or three acres and use thousands of dollars' worth of fertilizers on a small farm, is a surprise to the old fashioned growers of field corn, late potatoes and hay. Many of the early crops, such as rhubarb, asparagus and spinach, have already been harvested, and onions, radishes, lettuce and other second crops are being shipped to the market. In the height of the season between 400 and 500 large wagons, carrying from 25 to So barrels of green stuff each, pass daily through Jamaica and College Point on their way to Wallabout, Manhattan, down town and Harlem markets. The product per acre 'of the farmers about Hyde Park and Mineola ha risen from $30 or $40 to 5150 to MC CARTHY'S TRIAL BEGUN. Mr.

Detective Sullivan described the ar rival of the posse at McCarthy's saloon and told how they entered and arrested the inmates. He arrested McCarthy, finding behind the bar with an apron on. first asked if the proprietor was in and McCarthy answered "No," and the detective "Well, we'll take you, anyhow." He did not know McCarthy at the time.

William F. Hennessy. John W. Horsford and J. J.

Deering, three private detectivea who participated in the raid, Were next called in turn and told of the scenes in the place prior to the raid. Assistant District Attorney George A. Gregg was the next witness. He identified a. document in which McCarthy admitted that he was manager of the resort.

Abraham Levy, counsel for objected to the admission of the document in evidence on tho ground that an accused person could not be forced to furnish evidence against himself. Judge Moore overruled the objection and tho paper was admitted. It was the first strong; point against the accused. The next witness was Warren B. Ashmead, warden of the Queens County Jail.

He was one of the deputy sheriffs who took part in the raid and assisted in the arrest of the inmates of the resort. All the young women In court will be put on the witness stand this af tej uoon to testify against McCarthy. The defense.

He admitted having requested the ticket seller to refuse to sell Rhodes a ticket to the entertainment. That was the only instruction he gave.

He had nothing to do with his removal from the hall. He has put his case into the hands of AVIllard X. Baylis. Father York did not desire Rhodes' presence at the entertainment, but Rhodes worked past the usher and was asked to leaye the hall by Special Deputy Sheriff W. J.

Sammis. He saw Father York, who gave him his reasons why he was a persona non grata. Rhodes came to this place from Freeport about two years ago, and he is now training with Billy Elmer, the actor pugilist, who is 'making his home here.

Seaman of Jamaica, and trial is desired in Xassau County. Freeport, L. May 14 Rhodes' record in Freeport is that of a sport, who was well dressed and had plenty of money.

Morris Park, L. May 14 John Koch and others who live near Engelmam's Woods, on the Rockaway road, near here, have complained to Chief Devery that old horses are being slaughtered in the woods. An officer was sent out to look the woods over yester day. He found that bits of carcasses and the bones of butchered animals were lying about. The remains had evidently been buried and dug up by dogs.

It was noticed three weeks ago that decrepit horses were being lead into the woods. Nothing was thought of it at the time. Fnally offensive odors came from the woods and the residents made an investigation. The officer followed a caravan of wornout animals into the woods and caught two men in the act of butchering them. He protested and was told that the meat was intended to be fed to animals in a circus menagerie.

Other animals were led into the woods later and a complaint was filed with Chief Devery. An effort will be made to capture the slaughterers. A horse bologna factory was located in the woods some time ago and was raided. The men who are killing animals now are supposed to be in the same business. SUEEOLK SURROGATE'S COURT.

May 14 The Democrats of Nassau County are likely to be unanimous in their demand for a renomlnation of Congressman Townsend Scudder. next fall. The Democratic County Committee meeting, held at Mineola on Saturday last, was a love feast instead of' a scrimmage, as was expected, and much of the credit Is given to Congressman Scudder. John J. Graham, a friend of Senator Norton of Oyster Bay, was unanimously indorsed for the position of chief clerk of District Attorney Nieman at a salary of per year.

The nomination was made by Ruloff V. Brower of Hempstead and indorsed by Congressman Townsend Scudder, who was present in the interest of harmony iu the party. The Oyster Bay delegates reciprocated by voting for the indorsement of Mrs. Minnie Lr Reynolds of Rockaway Beach for a clerkship In the census enumeration department, one of the positions awarded Nassau Democrats in the general allottment. Of the four census enumerators allotted to the Nassau County Committee meeting two were awarded to Oyster Bay and two to Hempstead.

At a meeting of the Hempstead Town Committee, to be held to night, the Democrats of that town will relinquish one of the two census enumerators arid give the award to North Hempstead. Thus is harmony promoted between the factions. Congressman Scudder stands high in the esteem of all factions of the party to day, and it was developed at the meeting held Saturday that the county committee was unanimously for his renomlnation for Congress. Although Mr. Scudder has said he will not go through the expense and work of another campaign for election to the.

It Is said that If a renomlnation comes to him unanimously at the convention there is abundant evidence produced that all Democrats In the three counties are united in his support, he will reconsider the question of accepting so flattering an indorsement and consent to become the standard bearer of the party. The Democrats of Suffolk have already expressed themselves as favorably disposed toward Mr. Scudder's renomlnation and the Queens leaders are urging the. nomination of Assemblyman Wissel as a candidate for the senatorship say they are willing to concede the congressional honors to Nassau.

Are to Be Religious, but Not Aftei. tie. Manner of Their Elders. Yesterday morning in Summerfield E. Church, the the Rev.

Dr. John Rhey Thompson, took for his text EphesianB vi: 14 ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture, and admonition of the Lord." "This passage," said the preacher, "naturally raises' for our study the general subject of the religious training of children. It or for granted, that children possess distinctively religious nature, susceptible. growth: and training; that at. the period when: the readily responds to such training it is most completely, under the control the that this important duty, mayn'ot.

with safety entirely delegated to the religious influences of the Sunday 'school; however excellent' these may be; that in seeking to discharge this great duty parents must have a due regard to disposition, time and place. These foundation principles cannot be too strongly urged. They fire very old, indeed, but they never grow out of fashion; frhejj abide forever. "It is concerning the method of discharging this most difficult and delicate duty that I. wish more to.

speak; Few parents are so ignorant, or so careless, or bo wicked, as not to recognize the general, obligation, or its sacred and. binding character; It ipresses upon both heart and conscience with peculiar force and constancy and. few questions are more frequently or earnestly asked them than 'How, when, where, shall I give my children such training as to. insure establishment in the ways piety and in. humble in glad apd enthusiastic dlsclpleship to Jesus Christ'? Not.

a few parents are sorely perplexed to the mariner, in which they shall instruct! their children in Kreat truths of religion. the the best Available philosophy of human nature, of thA lifA rfvnprifnpp nf mnnv' rripn ani wrmn have successfully "lived here before we came, well as the plain teachings of the word of God, let us consider practical suggestions concerning the matter. "Parents are to have, a due regard in this taatter to sincerity and jfrue mere intellectual process, thanmerely. committing to. memory the words of.

catetfhism, the Commandments qr the of lie Bible itself. We are not. to. for get what' Moses qnce said to Hebrew parents concerning this very duty. These 'words which I command thee this day shall be in etc.

The words of religious truth must be accompanied by somewhat of the.vi personal elements, if', they are to living force, of They are words Which be' loved, obeyed by the parents them selves. If we are ever to teach them with any power to our children, we must begin by loving and keeping them ourselves. It is not enough that we exalt purity, for example, In our teaching to our children, we must be pure in the presence of the children. We not only commend and praise truth to children, but. n'p must npnlr and not thai be true before thy mij musv not simpiy ten tnem, or urge mem, to'4)r'ay, but we must show them by.

our own lives what is the prayer spirit, and what is the great spiritual profit of the daily prayer habit. It is so with every grace and every virtue, with love and reverence, and patience, and self control, and gentleness and faith in: the unseen. We must ourselves walk in the way', if we hope to have them do. so. Children are wonderfully quick and sure detectors of Insincerity, unreality No child will rever permanently doubt the truth of religion, who sees it as a reality in the daily life of father and mother.

There is no uicusuiiug nit; caicul ui tile evil muueuees exerted over the minds and hearts of young children by the habit of some parents in im evil motives or sinister ends to those whose integrity and devotion would not otherwise be. suspected by their children. Some times the Sunday dinner table mpre alas! not only Ids, the sermon taken to pieces" before the listening children, but sometimes the character, of the pastor is mercilessly dissected, and all his human frailties conspicuously exposed to view! "If is. almost impossible to attach too great importance to the habit of having children attend the public services of the church while wiey. are, yet very young.

rney understand, ivery much more of the sermons than thejriare usually, 'credtted "with irp peal to ybur own experiences in this How Tnatiy of you had your own sweet' will; as children, whether you shpuld go to divine service or I know at least one here present who did not have his own way wherj a. boy as to his. going to church, and I thank God for it this day. "Thls 'duty of the religious nurture 'of children is to be attended to with diligence. Diligence is a compound of two very noble qualities, being made up of earnestness and patience: Tlie.

conditions of all right' and, noble human1 living are such that no worthy or successful work can be'done in this world without diligence. Would you learn a trade? Diligence will make you an expert in the most complicated craft. It is impossible to arouse any intellectual enthusiasm without earnestness and patience; that is, without diligence. They are even more acutely: required if the task be that of the opening up and development of a child's religious nature. Do you use the same diligence in teaching your daughter how to array her spirit In the divine beauty of holiness as you call into exercise when you would have her adorn her body in garments of beauty for some function of modern society? You remember the celebrated answer of that wiso woman, Susanna Wesley, to the somewhat, forward question, 'Why do you teach that boy the same thing twenty times 'Because nineteen times telling Is not enough.

This, is the very, identical spirit in which we are to train and discipline our chuldren, going over and; over and over again the same' les eons of truth and purity and goodness I until "the telling is we mean thus to train and nurture our children, we will need very often to inspire and sustain our earnestness and patience by deep and quiet meditation upon the transcendent importance of this work we are trying to do for them! If we knew ourselves to be near the end of all our work for them here, what would be our thoughts then as to the relative value of this work, the true salvation of their ouls? "In planning and prosecuting this work, we need to give a large place to the suggestions and conclusions of a sound practical reason, to give heed, in other words, to the" sober dictates of saving common The longer I live In this world, the greater seems to' me: to bethe necessity for a plentiful in fusionof our religious life with good common' No marriage has ever taken place be' tween piety and stupidity, nor is it a necessary" part of the constitution of things that the children of this world should always be wiser than the children of light. The re proaoh should be taken away, and nowhere is the removal more needed than juat here; If in anything, we have special cause vividly to remember the great words about. giving meat to strong men nnd milk to. babes, It is in this duty, this delicate task, of the religious education of our children. "We are to avoid the old time error of attempting too much at onco.
