PRAISE FOR BLUEJACKET? Sampson's Bombardment Greater Than Sevastopol The Merrimac Incident and the Final Tight.

An interest inc. illustrated lecture on the I battle of Santiago was delivered hist evening at the Bedford Presbyterian Church. Dean: street and Xostrand avenue. The lecturer was Lieutenant Commander H. Sears, United State.

Nt.vy. who was aboard cruiser Brooklyn with Rear Admiral Schley 1 during the baiile mnit iened. The lecture was well There would have been a I still, larger audience, only a mistake was madjc ii announcing the date of the lecture. The! pictures in the lecture were taken by; George 15. Grahum uf the Associated Press, who was on the Brooklyn during the battle.

Lieutenant Commander Scars spoks it! a plc it conversational tone that enabled evi. i portion of bis lecture to be fully under ior.i by his lUicieM. While the Lieutenant i orumander spekv highly of Rear Admiral Schley lie did not 1 any means disparage ar Admiral Sampson, and his statements I inJfcated plainly that he deemed Sampson to have been in command. It was at this same church last winter that Rear Admiral CoKhla.ii had his overcoat stolen while he was lecturing. Lieutenant Scars said: "Your committee invited me here to lecture last yea) but I declined because I had a new overcoat.

(Laughter.) This year it is not quije new. i have come. (Laughter.) "At ihe uiitinvai; of I he Spanisfr 'American V. av there, were many misconceptions in the public mind about it. senators, eon srcsmicii and governors actually had no really i 1 5 i i idea of our Navy, its scone and r.eods.

Captain Mahan's works are a revelation, to the work; of condition of our naval war Ian When i hi' Spanish American War be zun. the offl' ers of the American tleet knew, at ihi wry beginning, thf strength of the ntiish Xavy. Wo knew the general morale, calibre and training of the Spanish naval Wi Itww.

too, their uncertain luurksmuoship to a rear degree. was insisted by some people that the Spanish ilect would ravish our coasts with shot and shell and establish fully the havoc of war in our seat oast, cities. The Xavy. to a man. knew belter.

But that fact "did not allay public appi i hension until the Xavy. God bless it. proved by its acts that its words wore good. (Applause.) "The main squadron war. at Key "West.

The subsidiary squadron was at Hampton Roads. The latter furnished all the coast protection thai was necessary. That may sound like an idle, statement: but. for in stanoe. if Portsmouth.

Xew Hampshire, had ben attacked, its natural anil artificial defenses would have held out until some ot our vessels arrived there. And so it was everywhere. And. again, what effect would Spain's tieet have bad if it had come here. Its strength would have been infinitesimal.

1 comparatively speaking. The strength of its navy was needed at more vulnerable points than our coast line under the eir i eiimstanci s. Tho officers of the Navy were I quite certain that the decisive battle would be fought in Cuban waters. No Spanish ship could coal here and their bunkers would not hold a supply sufficient to approach our coasts for war purposes. They would have been too far away from their base ot supplies.

Rut the public was sentimental and feared the worst. We men of the Navy had to take that, sentimeni. into consideration to a degree. Why. a wool merchant in Boston sent all of his slock inland to Worcester for fear that dear old Boston would be cannonaded.

Why. it was not even serenaded." (Laughter.) Commander Pears alluded to the scouting maneuvers employed in the Xavy and said that they would have to be more highly developed before he would depend entirely on them. Me ihen said: "If Admiral Cervera had gone home, as he wanted to do, it would have been better for Snaii: all around. A brave man. though, and a grcai admiral and sailor is Cervera." Commander Sears told of going on a confidential mission ashore to meet.

General Garcia, and sai never met a truer gentleman or a more simple, unaffected, courteous man. He accorded to me every kindness possibb' and mote. too. can see him now as we sat en the soft end of soap boxes.

It looks as if Hobson was put into Morro Castle after his capture to prevent our fleet, from firing on it, although I do not earo to make that as a positive statement. It was an interesting occasion to sit on and walk the deck imagining what the other fellow would do next.

And so the weary hours dragged along until the crucial hour came. When the order came to "Clear i ho ship for action." the men at the guns tore oft their shoes, shirts and some other apparel.

The establishment of the home supplied a long felt want, as the need of an institution devoted to the care and encouragement of women who unfortunately find themselves arraigned in police courts, in many instances for most, trivia! offenses, and to provide those who may be without homes and friends with a temporary place or shelter until employment is secured or opportunity afforded to communicate with relatives, had been apparent for a long time, and the home during its short period of existence has accompiished an immeasurable good in this direction. While the buildings, 46 48 Concord street, which were tendered to the society by Bishop McDonnell, were at first ample to meet, the purposes of the home, yet with the steady growth of the work the present facilities have been found inadequate, and it is for the purpose ot enlarging the present quarters to provide for the establishment of a laundry wherein the inmates will be constantlv employed, that the present appeal for funds tnrougn tiie medium ot the lecture and con cert is being made to the charitably disposed citizens of Brooklyn.

Cantain nhnrler.fr bmh Told of Life cf an American Soldier There. Captain Charles II.

Stoddard told "The Soldier's Story of the Filipinos" at the Ar; Gallery last evening to an attentive crowd of people who followed his wanderings about our Eastern possessions with much interest. It was Captain Stoddard's first appearance before the Brooklyn Institute, but he is the son of S. R. Stoddard of Glens Falls. whose illustrated lecture on "America's Wonderlands," given undeiv.Instilute auspices two years ago.

will not soon be forgotten. Captain Stoddard is a lawyer by profession but he joined the Twenty ninth Infantry when the call for troops for the Philippines came lust after the close of the war in Cuba. With the' exception of those shown in openiug and closing there was no special order among the pictures which were evidently snap shots taken by the soldier wherever he was sent. For that reason they were all the more valuable, as they gave one an idea of the hardships of life when fight lS in the tropics. Some of them showed the action of intense heat upon the films.

First to be shown wns a map of the is lands, many of which were said to be of no steamers were succeeded by a fine picture of tBe Olympia. at which, 0' course, there was applause. Fort Santiago, built in the sixteenth century, and the old wall with its drawbridges, which before the American oc Magellan who first gained those islands for the Spanish, were about all that served to remind one of the former owners. The lecturer said that only about 10 per cent, of the natives show the effect of the Spanish domination in their manners and customs, the remaining 90 per cent, being purely native in all their ideas. Native workmen and boatmen were shown in scant costume and there was one picture of a family ot the better class, but niainly thn views were of the poorer people, the men those who attended the captain as boatmen or iti some such service and the women those of their families.

Housework is surely reduced to the smallest proportion possible (here. But dirty as they arc about other things the natives are clean about their person and all of the inhabitants gather about the well or spring of the village and scrub quite as if in their own bathroom. While they are scrubbing washing may be froinc on and a native woman mav come for water to boil the dinner in. Sanitation has little attraction for them, The scries of pictures devoted to the life of the soldier was full of interest, for it showed him trying to penetrate jungle and thicket, making forced marches, through swamp and river or whatever came in his way, cooking, resting and storming forts. aiT they the" Stry lct tl saiu.

They put bar ricades in tronl of the villages but left tho rear quite undefended and thought the Americanos were very unfair to enter from lhe rear.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman Delivers Second Lecture in Her Course Before the Civitas Club. Charlotte Perkins Gilman held the close attention of a large assemblage of members and guests of the Civitas Club as she delivered the second lecture in her course on "Woman and Social Development." The lecturer spoke with her customary brilliancy and iconoclast ii: fervor, demolishing one after another of the cherished and musty traditions of the human race. Among these were the sacrodnoss of maternity and parental rights. "We have been so taught to worship the idea of motherhood," declared Mrs. Gilman, "that we have not dared to raise a voice in criticism.

she added, "there is iflo kind of beast but what can be a mother Mother hood has a limited function, education an unlimited one and the best education we've had in the world has come through men. Xo animal does so little for its young as the human. Animals make a shelter for their otlspring, but no human mother makes a house for hers, and it is the father who provides the food. The only way in which the mother affects ihe prosperity of the child is by securing a good provider and," continued the speaker with a smile, "there is little dcubt but that she gives her whole mind to it." Mrs. Gilman proceeded to show that with animals and savages the mother was al sufficient lor the child and that as society develops and the mother does not.

there is a greater discrepancy between what each docs. The parent is no longer sufTicieni lor the child and society has reached out 10 protect him. "We have always thought that the mother alone can do everything necessary for the child." she said, "but it is a material function to sec that il is done, not to do it. What does the child need first of all? Physical health; yet lhe first thing a mother does is to weigh it down with yards and yards of cloth. Thanks to doctors, mostly men," she added dryly, "and to nurses, not mothers, we are making some progress, but it has not been made by organized motherhood.

All we can afford to buy aad sew together, even to velvet and feathers; we force upon the child. If does like it. it is only from a diseased vanity which we have thrust upon him. We take elaborate pain; to inculcate self consciousness, sex consciousness and vanity." This sentiment was received with applause by the hearers alter which the lecturer pro. ceded 10 charge upon thn sentimentollty wbieh focused upon little soaks and shirts.

"The child is just us important when in; wears big soelts and shirts!" was her comment. While individually each mothor may do the best she can for her child, Mrs Gilman held that collectively the mothers ino worm 110 Doming tor men ennui yn. juuuiiii'i in or i act were mi vears old i It is mere deal with coa! for', eVcmns un" fications front ships nowadays.
