F. Middl eton Post, G. A. Brooklyn. The funeral will take place from his late residence, 1,057 Bedford avenue, at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

James C. Brower, for thirty eight years a resident of Brooklyn, died yesterday at his tome, 808 Quincy street. He had been ill some three months and his death was caused by heart disease. Mr. Brower was born in Dutchess County, New York, sixty four years ago, and first went into business in Syracuse.

In 1861 he came to Brooklyn with his family and went into tho hardware business on Broadway, in which he made a fortune, to which he added by fortunate real estate purchases. He was one of the organizers of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge Association, which secured the first charter for a bridge across the East River from the Eastern District. He incorporated the People's Bank and afterward became interested In the German American Bank, corner of Broadway and Melrose street, of which he was president at the time of his death. Mr. Brower could trace his ancestors back to the earliest Dutch settlers of Dutchess County.

He was a vestryman of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation, at Gates avenue, near Franklin, and a trustee of the Church Club of the Diocese of Long Island. Ho was also a Mason and a member of the Lawyers' Club of Manhattan. He is survived by his wife mi The funeral well and that she saw her shortly before the will was made and that fehe appeared rational. Mrs. Marion Rowley oi New York said that Mrs.

Hedges told her tbat she was to make a new will, giving everything to Mary Doml ny. Witness also said that Mrs. Hedges told her that she waa to keep house again In the summer and that Mary was to live with her. J. Herbert Bishop Brooklyn testified that he' had played whist with the old woman, had been to church went rowing with her and said she was rational.

Charles Cullum of East Hampton, Charles Filer of East Hamp.ton, O. H. Northup of George Seward of Brooklyn, who was a real estate agent, and conducted Mrs. Hedges' George Miller of Brooklyn, Miss Buchanan of Brooklyn, a' trained nurse, who had cared for Mrs. Hedges at Miss i Dpminy's home In Brooklyn, and who spent four months at Santiago In the late war; Burnett Osborne of Basthamp ton.

Miss Maybel Carman and Mrs. Henry Carman of Southaven, 1. Mrs. Emily Dominy of Easthampton and Henry Carman of Southaven all testified that Mrs. Hedges was, to the best of their belief, of a very rational mind in every particular.

They all testified that she had repeatedly said that Mary Dominy was to have all that she (Mrs. Hedges) had. Ernest Kellogg of Brooklyn, a mechanical and electrical engineer employed now with the Wizard Edison, was also a witness, and gave substantially the same evidence as the other witnesses for the proponents. Miss Hattie Bell of Wakefield, Greater New York, borough of the Bronx, was a lively and Interesting witness, and her parries wkh Counselor Grlfflng of tbe contestants caused great amusement. She was on the stand for upwards of an hour and seemed well at home.

To all of Mr. Grifflng's questions, In the long cross examination, she had a ready and decided answer, and although Suffolk's brightest lawyer tried his best to tangle the witness but little was accomplished. Miss Bell is a kindergarten teacher in Manhattan and is and has been for eight years past a bosom friend of Miss Dominy. She testified that she had spent many weeks with Mrs. Hedges at the latter's Easthampton home, and that upon several occasions the old woman had talked with her about leaving the estate to Mary Dominy.

Mrs. Hedges looked upon Mary as a daughter, witness said. Miss Bell also said that upon one visit Mrs. Hedges asked her to write a new will for her, but she refused. Mr.

Grffling iried to show that the young woman had busied herself with the inside affairs of the Dominy household, but was not successful. Miss Bell also testified that Mrs. Hedges boarded at one time with Felix Dominy the contestant, and that she did not like it there as she wasn't fed nicely. Mrs. Emily Dominy of Easthampton testified that Mrs.

Hedges had remarked to her in speaking of Mary Dominy, "I promised to love her for Sybil's sake." Sybil was Mary's mother. So far the testimony shows that all of the nephews and most of the nieces had been living comparatively well off from Mrs. Hedges' bounty during her life time large sums of money and presents having beeD given to all of them. NAMED FOR HIS SEVENTH TERM. Relief Society of Paine's Celery The work of the average' woman, whether she be in charge of a household, where the work is always doing, but never done, or behind a counter, or in a schoolroom, is of a sort that rarely leaves her with strength or inclination for anything else.

The strain upon most women's nerves, is so great that a breakdown many of them constantly in the face, which means loss of work, doctor's bills and discouragement. One of the eariiest and one of the most infallible indications of failing nervous etrepgth is the inability to sleep soundly. No fact is more clearly established than that sleep repairs the tired nervous tissues and that the loss of sleep deranges the health more quickly and more seriously than any other privation the body can suffer. The great effort, then, of every poor sleeper should be to strengthen the nerves. The fact that hundreds of men and women in every community have been cured of insomnia by Paine's celery compound tell its own story of the invigorati ing effect of this wonderful remedy, not only upon the nerves, but upon the entire nervous system.

E. Mona Jones Will Resign His Greenwich Point BUT WILL PREACH IF CALLED. His Interpretation of the Verdict of the Becent Baptist Council News of the Churches. (Special to the Eagle.) Freeport, L. February 25 Tho article In last night's Eagle, giving the decision of the council of the Long Island iBaptlst Association in the case of the Rev.

E. Mona Jones, recently pastor of the local Baptist Church, was read with much interest in this place, and when tbe minister was seen by an Eagle reporter he made the following statement: "I feel very grateful to the Eagle for the impartial manner in which it has treated me since the incipienoy of my recent trouble. I Intend to abide fully by the advice of the council and will immediately tender my resignation as pastor of the Greenwich Point Church, as I consider It for the best interest of all concerned. I am of the opinion that the decision of the council, advising me to withdraw as an active and regular minister, has a tendency to mislead the public who are not familiar with the facts. Their motive in making the request was not to disqualify me as a.

minister of the gospel, but that action was made essential owing to the publicity and notoriety given the affair in certain sensational newspapers. If at any time in tbe future I should be sought under any circumstances to preach the gospel I would certainly have a perfect right to do so, as that would In no way violate the spirit or the letter of the council's advice. "Three months ago, when I preached my farewell sermon to the Freeport Bapti6t Church, I intended to move from the village, but when I learned that charges were about to be Instituted against me I remained to vindicate myself. I am now satisfied with the vindication of my character, having been twice tried by my peers on the came complaint and each time acquitted. I consider that the trial by the committee was most exhaustive and no point was left unsifted that the prosecution desired to present.

In fact, I cannot say too much' in acknowledging the absolute fairness with which the moderator, Henry E. Drake, conducted the proceedings, and I have nothing but praise for the courteous and Christian like manner in which the representatives of the various churches treated me on this important occasion." Mr. Jones will proach his farewell sermon at Greenwich Point In a few weeks. He has preached special sermons to almost every fraternal organization in town, the members of which, It is said, contemplate giving him a farewell reception before he leaves this place. Rockaway Beach, L.

February 25 Several days ago the Rev. John C. Green of the First Congregational Church addressed a communication to the Atlantic Athletic Association requesting that the nights for basket ball exhibition be changed to some other night than Wednesday, when prayer meetings are held in the church. The pastor claimed that 75 per cent, of his congregation preferred witnessing the games to attending the services, and, therefore, he asked the association to make the change. The association was at a loss to know a way out of the situation, as Manager James E.

Snedecor of the basket ball team had scheduled games for the rest of the season for Wednesday nights and could not alter his plans. Then again, when the night school was opened, Principal William Gilmore personally appeared before the Board of Education and asked to be allowed to change school nights from the first four nights each week, to Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights, so as not to interfere with the basket ball gamesl Everything seemed against the church, although the association did not desire to clash with the Rev. Mr. Green. The matter was left in the hands of the athletic committee, and at a meeting of the association last night the committee reported that it had adjusted the difficulty by starting the basket ball exhibitions one half hour later than heretofore, so that church goers can attend evening service and then witness the games.

Herbert F. Farrell. Quean rVictd'rfei Expected to Re v'ceive Him at Windsor Castle on March 7. HER MAJESTY IN GOOD HEALTH. CCxip to France Depends Xargely tTppn the Course of Events 2 There.

(Copyright, 1839, by the Associated Press.) London, February "5 It is expected that the new United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James. Mr. Joseph H. Choate.

who left Keiv York on board (he American Line steamer St. Paul, for Southampton, on Wednesday will be prese'nteci to Queen Tictoriu by the British Prime Minister, Lord Salisbury, on March 7, at Windsor Castle, when ber majesty Will hold a privy council prior to her departure for the South of France. Vanity Fair, however, says it is still possible that the Queen will not go to Cimiez, although every preparation has been made for her departure. It seems that it depends largely upon the course of events in France during the next few days and it is certain that many Englishmen do not wish her majesty to go to France just now. The Queen, at present, is enjoying good health, save an occasional touch of rheumatism.

She is exempt from the nervous headaches to which she was formerly a victim, her hearing remains very acute and even her Bight is stronger than that of most persons of her age. The decoration of Lady Curzon of Kedles ton, wife of tbe Viceroy of India, with the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, is a high distinction, as the order is practically reserved for royalties and the wives of Secretaries of State for India, viceroys, governors and native princes. The Indian mails just, received show Lady Curzon has made a conquest of Anglo Indian society. whil3 the native papers pay her glowing" tributes. A representative of tbe Associated Press learns that Mr.

J. Pterpont Morgan is to bear the entire cost, amounting to $25,000, of the Installation of electric lights in St. Paul's Cathedral. A sad story came out in the divorce court this week.when the Hon. D'Arcy Larobton, seventh brother of the Earl of Durham, obtained a from his wife, formerly an Australian actress.

There were three corespondents. Lambton's counsel said the actress had persuaded his client, before their marriage, that she trad 500 a year and was expecting a fortune when she came of age. Thev were married in 1SS8 and returned to England from Australia in ISflO. Later Mrs. Lambton attempted to commit suicide in a at Paris.

Finally, counsel added, the Earl of Durham heard unpleasant rumors and told, his brother. The latter taxed his wife with the statements made and she ran away from her home. Afterward she wrote her husband a pitiful epistle, which was read in court, pleading forgiveness for sake of their child, a daughter born in 1891, and the miserable lite she led. Mrs. Lambton said: "When you have heard the truth you will not wonder why I have so often tried to end my life.

I began with a lie, but I have suffered for it. We are nearly starving. My confession of guilt is the greatest punishment OCmy life. Like a coward, I was vile enough to' tell lies about my own mother and sister and money they never had. I am guilty of nearly all the yile things they say of me.

What with "drink and extravagance I have punk very low. If I could only have the chance of being good again I would jump at it. Have mercy upon me." The scandal recalls tho painful circumstances of D'Arcy Lambton's brother's marriage. The Earl of Durham wedded a strik irrgrjr beautiful girl. The bride appeared strange at the wedding and when the couple went to the Earl's country seat she behaved tn a most peculiar manner.

Eventually the dawned upon the Earl. His wife was mad. Treatment was tried, but not successfully. Tho Earl applied to the courts to nullify tho marriage, but his application was refused. The Oouaaess is now an inmate of an asylum for the insane in Sussex.

She is a hopeless idot, but the doctors declare she will live to an. oia age. The Earl was born in 1855 and was married in 1882. The Prince. of Wales' Hospital Fund, which started off with such a flourish of trumpet3, is now known to have proved more or less of Matinees, concerts, balls and.

every such expedient have been tried, culminating in the ingenious hospital stamp idea, jjvhlch Is also admitted to be a fiasco. Now, a and extraordinary scheme is projected "the creation of a new order to be entitled the League of Mercy, in which those who collect 'and promote the collection of subscriptions for the Hospital Fund are enrolled as members. The new order will be based on the Royal Victorian Order and will consist of five classes, the highest being Knights Grand 'Cross. There will be a distinctive badge and ribbon. The motto of the order will be "Christo et Rdgina." The Prince of Wales will be grand master.

"Advices received here from Scandinavia say 'theCzar's for the Russification of Finland1 "has awakened a feeling of Indignation and sympathy. The Swedish papers characterize the decree as a coup d'etat. It provides for increase of the Russian forces, the extension of conscription and makes Russian obligatory and the official language. The Swedish professors at Helsingfors "University have been replaced by Russians. The Swedish newspapers indignantly call upon the government to abstain from taking part in the Czar's peace congress, which they stigmatize as hypocritical.

Tbe prominent officers of Finland have sought an audience of the Czar on the subject, but their request has been refused. Manager Frohman has arranged for Mrs. 'Leslie Carter and the principal members of his American company to appear in "Zaza" in 1900. At matinee on Wednesday at St. George's Hall in behalf of the propagation of Christianity in China and the Society to Abolish Toot Binding Among Chinese Women, a Chinese comedy was performed in English.

It was entitled "Borrowing Boots," which has been a favorite for centuries past on the Chinese stage. It proved very entertaining. BOOSEL SENTENCED. Elizabeth, N. February 25 Judge Van Sicke! to day sentenced Louis Rooscl to be hanged on March 10 for the murder of James C.

Pitts, a farmer of Summit, N. J. This was fourth time Roosel had been sentenced, appeals to various courts having prevented his execution on the dates previously set. Roosel and George Manshanda were indicted jointly for the murder. Manshanda turned state's evidence and got off witn twenty years In prison.

OBITUARY. Mrs. Alfred W. Pinneo, formerly Miss Cella Mollenhauer. daughter of the lat Henry Mol lenhauer, the violinist, and herself a successful performer, died at ber home, 2S0 Lafayette avenue, to day.

The death of her child some weeks ago induced nervous prostration, which brought on pneumonia, and resulted in her death after three day' illness. She was born in Manhattan in 1808 and was the youngest of a family of musicians, all well known. Previous to her marriage she was a teacher in the Mollenhauer school of this borough, and her husband Is a musician of repute. She was well known sociallyas well as artistically and her sudden death is startling to a large circle of friends. James W.

Barnes, well known In the Sixth, First and Twenty second Wards, died at 1S4 Atlantic avenue on Thursday after a brief illness. He was a member of ChriEt Episcopal Church, of St. Albans Lodge of Freemasons and of Home Council. Order of Chosen Friends. His funeral will be held from Christ Church to morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

John Dawson, an old BTooklynlte and for many years a well known resident of the Seventh Ward, died yesterday. He was a native of Kirkardy, Fifeshire, Scotland, and came to Brooklyn with his parents in I84f. He was a veteran of the Civil War. serving in the One Jlmwired and Thirty aiata New York Volun Some Published to Give the News and Others Printed to Get Advertisements. LAWYERS HELP THEM OUT.

The Papers Themselves Are Known as "Patent" Insides" and Are Generally Issued "Weekly. There are printed all kinds of newspapers. But for the purposes of this story there may be made two classifications the papers that are printed to publish the news, and. the papers that are printed in order to get advertising contracts. Of this latter class the legal profession, from the amount and different kinds of advertising required In it, provides many small weekly publications with a fair income.

The law requires that notices of many kinds of actions shall be published for longer or shorter periods, that notices of claims against estates, notices in bankruptcy and other "legal notices" must be. published in regular daily or weekly papers, in order that all parties concerned may have a full and fair show. For the publication, of such notices the big daily papers charge prices that, while not as high as their regular advertising prices, are still so high that to make the insertions required by law would cost more than many people care to pay. As a result, many "fly by night" publications have sprung up for the sole purpose of providing a vehicle for the publication of legal notices at cheap rates. The papers go to press regularly, the notices are printed and.

so the law is satisfied. One suclT publication which cam to tneh notice of the Eagle lately numbers sixteen pages, 11 by 1G inches. At the top of the page is the name, with the further Information that it is a weekly journal devoted to society, music, the drama and excise news. Society, music and drama and excise news are not as a rule classed 'together. But in this case it is all right, for in all of the sixteen pages there is not a single word about either society, music, the drama or excise.

So the sensibilities of the musician, tbe dramatist or the devotee of society will not be offended by being forced to get the news of his or her special subject from a page which at the same time contains news of a corner gin mill, or how many licenses were issued during 'the previous week. At the top of the first page is the further information that it is Volume XV, Number 25, but there is nothing to show where or who publishes the paper. The first seven pages comain nothing but plate matter, the kind of matter thai, a country paper having "patent insides" uses to fill up with when news is dull. The nearest approach to any kind of news is an article evidently taken by the plate manufacturer from some daily newspaper describing one of the Army transports that recently sailed from this port. On the eighth page is an editorial entitled "One Year's Work in the Surrogate's Court." Tbisf editorial takes up nearly one column and is followed by an editorial paragraph about the town of Pullman.

The editorial highly commends the work of the surrogates of New York County and says that the county may well be proud of them. There Is every reason for the publisher of the paper to speak thus of the surrgoates, for reasons which will appear hereafter. On the next page Is an other fresh article time a full column long. This article is published under the general head, "Business of the Courts," and is a summary of the work done in the Surrogate's office for the year 1898. The rest of tbe page is plate matter.

On the next page are some farm and garden notes, plate matter, and the net page, and part of the one following shows only plate matter. But on the twelfth page appears the reason for being of the publication. With the exception of one column the twelfth and thirteenth pages are filled with notices from the Surrogate's Court, all of which are legal advertisements. More plate matter and some patent medicine advertisements completes the paper. At the Surrogate's office Surrogate Fitzgerald said that there were many such papers all over the city, some of which he had never even seen.

The paper in question, he said, was published in the office of and by the same man who publishes a weekly paper of a high class, devoted to the interests of one nationality living in this country. The weekly in question was set up in the other paper's office and cost practically nothing to run. It offered to carry advertisements at a cheap rate and was, therefore, used by lawyers who did not care to pay the high rate asked by the leading daily newspapers. Surrogate Fitzgerald said that while the Surrogate designated the paners in which notices were to be published the selections were made by the lawyers themselves, and, that the Surrogate never selected the publications. The paper in question, the Surrogate said, was probably ten or twelve years old.

Speaking of the matter later to an Eagle reporter, a lawyer said that while the system was probably all right and as good a one as could be devised, it was still true that unscrupulous lawyers were sometimes enabled to take an unfair advantage. Notices were put in obscure papers, papers having circulations of less than 1,000, and were thus practically buried from sight. Notices to represent claims against estates were thus printed for the statutory time without a single creditor seeing them. Proof of publication was at hand the creditors had no redress. "But the system is an old one and will always probably remain." THE HEDGES WILL CONTEST.

Burden of the Testimony in Favor of Miss Dominy, a Brooklyn School Teacher. Special to the Eagle.) Riverhead, February 25 The second hearing in the Esther M. Hedges contested will matter was begun before Surrogate Na than C. Petty in the Suffolk County Surrogate's Court yesterday afternoon. The hear ing lasted until 12 o'clock last night and was adjourned until 10:30 this morning, when the cross examination of Mrs.

Emily Dominy began. This will gives all the property, estimated to be worth $20,000, to Miss Mary Dominy of Brooklyn, a teacher in the public schools. She is a niece of Mrs Hedges, who resided at Easthampton. The contestants are various nephews and a sister of 'Mrs. Hedges, and among the witnesses are a number of well known Brooklyn people.

Mrs. Mary Dominy of Easthampton, wife of Felix Dominy, one of the contestants, was one of the most important witnesses examined yesterday. She said thut Mrs. 'Hedges had paid Miss Mary Doruiny's board at the home of Mrs. KellOKK of had sent her to tne Albany and Oswego normai schools, and paid her way through them: spent $G0Q for kindergarten course to lit ner for had sent her to Europe ou an extended tour and that Mrs.

Hedges would not and did not want to change her will. Witness said that Miss Dominy Paid that she would not go and live with her aunt, Mrs. Hedges, unices the latter would give he: SHOO a year and all her estate, giving the old woman from Saturday to Monday to decide whether she would accept her proposition. Miss Dominy then went away. She came back on Monday, witness said, for her decision.

Mrs. Hedges seemed very excited, and hysterically eald that Rhe would r.ot accept the proposition. It was also shown that Mary Dominy received. a monthly allowance from her aunt. Mrs.

Kellogg is the wife of George A. Kellogg of Brooklyn, a family of si. einl prominence. Her mniden name was Harriet Dominy, and she is a niece of Mrs. Hedges.

Its immediate invigorating effect in such cases is shown in the following letter from Mrs. Fannie West, president of the South Side Relief Society of Chicago.

The ietter is dated December 12, 1898: "We feel very glad to acknowledge the flna qualities of Paine's celery compound. It la the best remedy we know of for building up the nervous system. Our doctors prescribe it, and It always gives immediate relief." Back of nervousness, sleeplessness and many of the peculiar ailments of women ia poverty of the blood. 'Paleness, thinness ot body and weakness are evidences of poor blood. In some cases palpitation of the heart complained of, and when the poverty i greatest, the lips are pallid and the tongue almost colorless.

In these cases of anaemia if Paine's celery compound is used the gain from day to day plainly noticeable. Its tonic effect in renewing the blood and restoring the strength has been little short of miraculous in cases of extreme emaciation and nervous prostration. If a woman feels that she is losing ground weight and strength she should set about increasing the blood supply at once with the aid of Paine's celery compound.

Charlotte Reeve Conover of Dayton, 0., concluded the lectures before the French section of the Institute on the genius and influence of Moliere, speaking on "The 'Morale' of the Comedies." She emphasized the far reaching influence of Moliere on manners and customs, in favor of sound morality and in flagellation of social, clerical and professional abuses. Ae a comedy architect, he hae remained a model for all that have come after him. Goldsmith almost literally transcribed one of his scenes in "She Stoops to Conquer;" Sheridan did not hesitate to draw fiom the same rich mine in "The School for Scandal." The Italian comedies of Goldon' and the Parisian stage for the last two centuries have their best characteristics traceable to Mollere's master hand, and the careful student will find not a few of the situations and occasionally the plot of a Moliere comedy in tee plays offered year after year in New York theaters.
