The committee appointed at the annual dinner of tho veterans of Company Twenty third regiment, held March 17 at tbe Montauk club, to submit a plan for organizing a. company veteran association, have Issued a circular which reads in part as follows: The need for such an organization wa plainly shown by the Bllm turnout, as compared with other companies, ot D'b veteran upon the occasion of escorting the regiment the new armory, and again at the review of the regiment by the veterans on March 28th last. Most of the other companies have well established veteran associations, by means of which the ex members are kept in touch with each other and with the active members of their old companies. Old friendships are kept alive and new ones formed.

We therefore recommend that a veteran association be formed upon the following general Ideas: Membership to be limited to ex members, only, ot Company Twenty third regiment, who shall have received an honorable discharge, or who shall have been dropped from the rolls after good service by reason of removal from district, or by reason of physical disability, or who shall have left the company on account of promotion. Annual dues to be one dollar, payable in January of each year; an initiation fee of one dollar to accompany application for membership. The Idea of collecting the Initiation fee as soon as possible Is to create a fund to be used in case of sifa den emergency and to defray expenses ot printing and posting this and other All persons eligible to membership who approve of the scheme as presented are requested to send name, address and $1 each to Edward J.

Samuel Moran is rector, furnished food for a discourse at the reinilnr church service yesterday morning, when the rector embraced the opportunity to denounce the opposing faction in the church. The rector did not preach his regular sermon, but took the time usually devoted to a discourse on doctrinal topics to review the troubled relations which have existed for some time between himself and the members of his congregation, ana which were revived on the Easter election for wardens and vestrymen, when the rector's ticket was defeated by a majority of seven. The rector opened his discourse by reading off the names of parties who were on his ticket at election and said that these were the legally elected vestry in consequence of a number of the voters not being qualified to cast ballots. He said ho should conveno what he considered the legally elected vestry at an early date. The rector then went on to review the trouble in tho church and said that there had always been trouble in that body and that the opposing clement had forced six of hiB predecessors to leavo the pariBh.

Mr. Moran said that despite tho fact thatho had not received his salary in several months, he was determined to stay and and was not alarmed at the prospect. He said ho had been slandered in the press and that ho wanted peace, but in order to have peaco he must be obeyed. The rector's remarks were discussed by tho congregation for Borne time after the conclusion of the service and the feeling in consequence was very intense. C.

DuBois Wagstaff and Ex Senator Alfred "WagBtaff who were indorsed on the reotor's tioket for warden and vestryman, and Samuel B. Jones who was elected vestrvman, have each refused to act on the voBtry which Rector Moran claimB was legally elected. The MeBsra. Wagstaff will act with tfie opposing vestry. The anti Moran vestry will hold a meeting this week, and if tho rector refuses to meet with them, they will proceed to act independent of his wishes.

One member of the opposing vestry said to an Eagle reporter yesterday The reotor'B remarks in tho pulpit were entirely out of place. He made a number of wrong statements putting matters in a false light, while wo were unablo to reply. The rector is alone to blame for the existing state of affairs in the church, and he will find out ere long that it would have been much better for him to have resigned." BOOKKEEPER SMITH'S ABREST.

April 13 Albert Griffiths, better known as Young Griffo, the Australian featherweight, and two of his associates, Edward Tuthlll and Paddy Gorman, were arrested Saturday night, on a warrant issued by Judge Sutter, on complaint of Town Trustee "William Connors. The three men are accused of assaulting Connors about ten days ago, at Zehden's College Point casino, the headquarters of Young Griffo, and the arrests of tho men were ostensibly made for tbe purpose of stopping the bout between Charles McKeever of Philadelphia and Griffo, set down for to night at Maspeth, L.

I. When the three men were brought Into court ex Judge W. S. Overton, in behalf of the complaint, moved that the trial be set down for Monday evening at 7 o'clock, the hour of the boxing match, and the motion was granted by the court. Just then Coroner John S.

Corey appeared in the court room and interceded in behalf of the defendants and appealed to tbe court to change the time of trial. After considerable wrangling the magistrate acquiesced. The case of Tuthlll was filially set down for 10 o'clock this morning oud those of Gorman and Griffo for this afternoon. Young Griffo says he can prove he was not In the casino when the alleged assault was committed. If nothing unforseen occurs at the trial the bout will go on to night.

H. Bohan, Griffo's majiagor, told an Eagle reporter yesterday afternoon that Griffo is In good trim. Tho cases of young Griffo, Tuthlll and Paddy Gorman were called before Judge Sutters at 10 o'clock this morning. W. S.

Overton In behalf of the complainant asked fer tho privilege of withdrawing tho complaint. He alleged that tho presiding magistrate was prejudiced and feeling that he could not get justice in this court, he demanded the withdrawal of tho complaint. Ills chief argument was Bishop Littlejohn's Sunday Morning Sermon at Christ Church. HIS VIEWSOF.CITY MISSION WORK Dr. Darlington Complimented by His Superior on the Work Accomplished in the Northern Arctideaoonry Lecture by the Rev.

James Donohue at the Amphion Theater Arion Singing Society Elects Officers. Bishop Llttlejohn preached yesterday morning at Christ church, Bedford avenue. During his sermon tho bishop said "The fact of the resurrection is comforting. It gives a man positive hope and assures a definite future and reveals'palpable ties of relationship wlih the yorld which no man hath seen. It is not suggested or Imagined that the fact of the resurrection applies in Itself to the church as an organic "Whole or a corporate whole as to the Individual.

For example, it cannot die as the individual can; it cannot be burled as Individual can; It cannot be quickened or raised again as he can, yet there is an analogy In the work of the resurrection upon tbe Individual and the work upon the church. In there 1b a resemblance at many points. "Let me proceed to note some of the prevailing features of this resemblance. In the Individual there Is an anxious conflict between vice and virtue, between the corruptible and the incorruptible. In the Individual this conflict Is more real than It is in the church, but likewise there are corruptible and Incorruptible elements in the corporate whole of the church.

While It loses one element it gains another and this has kept repeating Itself for centuries. Look back over the church's career. Recall Its enthusiasms, vast energies, activities since lapsed Into a memory. Behold some philosophy or theology which In their day dominated the minds of a nation or a race and live only now as empty echoes of the silent thoughts of history But on the other hand, the operation of the incorruptible and unchangeable Is In the Individual as In the church. Life has proved mightier than death.

There Is more In man that lives than dies. He is obedient to the law which will finally swallow up anal death In Immortality. There Is no law vihlch makes death a condlton to our entering on Immortality. In every essential the church is lifted above the dominion of death. It Is the root of the new creation In Jesus Christ which shall be raised In fullness at the last day.

It Is In part earthly, and as such we see. It Is in part heavenly and as such we do not see it." After the service, when the bishop had administered the rite of confirmation to forty six candidates, he stepped to the front of the chancel and spoke a few words in reference to the northern archdeaconry. He said that the work of the northern archdeaconry had been remarkable. During the past year over $10,000 had been received over and above the ordinary needs of the archdeaconry for special purposes. The blshopadded that he never felt so hopeful for tho future of the northern archdeaconry, which was the great missionary district of the diocese.

With the associate mission soon to be started and the beginning of newmethods of work, he felt that a new day was dawning for Episcopal city missions in Brooklyn. The bishop spoke highly of the energy of the Rev. Dr. Darlington, who had given his attention to tho work even while he was ill. In concluding, the bishop thanked the congregation for spending so mueh ot their time In going around the various churches and advancing the cause of missions.

THE REV. JAMBS DONOHUE'S LECTURE. Tho Amphion theater was filled In every part last evening with an audience that assembled to hear a lecture by the Rev. James Donohue, LL. rector ot St.

In introducing the Rev. Dr. Donohoe, tie Rev. Father Malone said in part: "It Is a great pleasure for me to stand before so large and respected an audience. I am, to some ex tent, a convert here to night, for when I an nounced this entertainment in the church today, I felt that, to some extent, everything in the programme might not be In accord with the views of those who are extremely critical upon affairs of.

this kind on a Sunday evening, listening to music, declamation and sentiment. But I do not know of anything that could be more appropriate for a body of Christian people, on the evening of the Sabbath day, after they have performed their sacred duties in the line of their Christian belief in their different churches, than to have their hearts cheered and gladdened, their tastos cultivated, their Ideas Improved, enlarged and widened by an entertainment of thlB kind. This is accomplishing what Is really In the lino of the wonderful progress that is be ing made by the people of the United States. When we aim at the highest in every respect. in declamation, poetry, literature and music.

we win reach the very hiKhest, because we have wonderful ability scattered throughout tne great Doay of tne rising generation who have such numerous advantages in all the schools, opportunities that are offered only by tne American system itself. All these ad vantages we share with our American fellow citizens, in the Catholic schools throughout the country. Perhaps we would not have such superior intelligence and ability shown here were it not for tnese schools, and we desire very much that our fellow citizens would 1 ecogni iQent I wa 1 "odu recognize the growth, progress and advance going on among tne Catnoiic people In ay. Now, Having said so much for the "pduetory part of the entertainment, what I say In calling your attention to the doSigui cl wil guished gentleman a brother In the ith myself, belonging to the same dlo ce nd of tie same feeling and belief. 1 mii.oerhaps say many things, if he were not pres here hmiself; but this I will say, he has i called upon frequently to display talen ich as he will this evening, to give Vectu.

and to' speak ou different subjects. On tl occasions he has always acquitted himse itlh wonderful success and a the satlsfaS ji of his audiences I might say CathoIAB udlences. We have, I might add. plenty erathollc priests to day throughout the Uni? States who can tand upon arty platform nhd talk upon any subject of public Interest and command the attention of the general public because of their high Intelligence and superior ability. I would lay before you the advisability of asking some of these educated and cultured priests to be present with you on such occasions as this that you may be benefited by their knowledge." The Rev.

Dr. Donohoe then proceeded with the lecture, which engaged the attention of the audience for over an hour. ARION SINGING SOCIETY" ELECTION. The half yearly general meeting of the Arion Singing society of Brooklyn took place In Arion hall. Wall street, near Broadway, yesterday afternoon.

Wilbert 0. Elakeman's first Sermon in Flatbush. HEARD BY A BIG CONGREGATION. The Topic Chosen by the New Pastor of the Lenox Road M. E.

Church Was "Law" and the Sermon Created a Favorable Impression Mr. Bedingfield's Recollections of Dr. Jameson His Reputation as a Physician. The Bev. Wilbert Celestas Blakeman, successor of the Ilev.

Dr. W. Couch in the pastorate of the Lenox road M. E. church.

Flatlnidh, preached for the first time to his new congregation yeBterday morning. The big church was crowded to the last seat before the bells ceased ringing. 3Ir. Blakeman held an informal reception in tho vestibule before tho service began. He is about 40 years old, with a strong, intellectual face and a pleasant manner.

Mr. Blakeman wris educated for the ministry at the Western university of Middletown, where he was graduated in 1876. His first pastoral charge was near Middleton. From there he was called to Brooklyn, and for several years occupied the pulpit of tho Ridley Memorial church. He has since been pastor of the tjt.

John's Methodist Episcopal church in New Haven, and his Inst charge was at Islip, L. 1. Mr. Blakcmun is a student and writer as well as a preacher. His sermon yeBterday morning pleased the congregation grently aH was evident from the comments that were made after the service.

His subject was "Law." the text being: "The effectuol fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Jamt'B Mr. Blakeman naid in part: "This is an ago of machinery, of science, of law. Law, we ure told governs everything. We live by law, fall Bick by law, are doctored by law, and are piouH by law. "But law in reality cinnot do anything.

Law is as powerleHB as an old wooden "image. For what is law? It is the principle by which a thing acts: it is a method of procedure. But. observe, somebodv must proceed. There must be a living agent behind the law, for laws cannot make or execute themselves.

'Let us notice three things: Firflt The assertion of the text. Professor Tyndall wanted to try a prayer test in tho ward" of a London hospital, declaring that if patients recovered by pTayer as well as by medicine he could become a believer. But every science must bo tested by its own rules. You cannot test a proposition in geometry by a rule of grammar. One of the canons of prayer is the righteous character of him who prays.

A second is the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. How absurd to ask a mau to pray at a mark as riflemen shoot at a target to see who can hit. "Notice in the next place the men who make this assertion. Broadly speaking there are two cIubkcs of persons, conservatives and radicals. Conservative men have their nee.

Men hove confidence in their judgment. Gold is not easily fused, but when it is melted it comes out in the form of gold dollars that are good currency anywhere. So the 'udgment of conservative men is worth dollars and cents to those who will take it. St. James was a conservative.

Hia tone in all things is Yet this same cool, cautious man tells us as the result of his experience that fervent praver availeth much. "'Let ub notice in the third place the case quoted in proof of the assertion. 'Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are. and ho prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six Look in the first place at tho man who prayed with so much effect. He had the same temptations that we have.

It is encouraging to know that God can work with poor tools. Notice, again, the circumstances that called forth this powerful prayer. There had been no rain for three years and six months. At such times it is Very hard to pray with faith, for what we call faith ib often only reason based upon probability. Take the case of ex President Garfield People prayed that he might recover and then got up from their knees and looked at the bulletin.

If the signs wero favorable, thov said that they believed the president would get well. This was not faith, but only reasoning. A spurious faith goes down with bad svmp toms. but a real faith holds steady in the" face of moat adverse conditions. But faith is a creator.

The conditions of rain, of health and of conviction in the mind of the sinner, are always present. There is only deeded tho bidding of God. The time is coming when the Christian church will know how to pray. Intemperance in our country and heathendom in remote lands will yet bo overcome by the Christian's all constraining prayer." HE KNOWS DR. JAMESON.

Dr. Jameson, who is now on trial in England for invading the Transvaal with an armed force, is personally known to V. L. Bedingfield of 31 East Broadway, Flatbush, who met him in London. "I atn not surprised, Mr.

Bedingfield said last night, "that the great majority of the English' people side with Dr. Jim, for he iB a bold, brave, generous fellow. I met him in London when he was studying medicine at the University college. As a matter of fact he never should have chosen that profession. He is a born soldier and administrator.

He went to South Africa because of his love for adventure. Supposing he had succeeded in his daring attempt to conquer the Boers Well, to say the least, he would not now be on trial! "At the university, continued Mr. Bedingfield, "Jameson distinguished himself. He did not; as repeatedly stated, become a military surgeon. He went to South Africa very soon after he was graduated and settled down to the practice of his profession.

He made plenty of money, though he never charged a cent to those patients who could not well afford to pay. While a first rate physician, he never had ariv particular love for his profession and the exer ciso of it soon become irksome to him. At laRt be threw it up and joined the British South African Chartered company. It was understood that this oompany, although nominally under the direction of the British crown, could do pretty much as it pleased with regard to the administration of its territory. "It wasn't long before Dr.

JameBon was appointed adminiHtrator, and his native militarv talents at once came into pluv. He organized a body of mounted police that was as efficient as a regiment of the regular army. To this force was soon the Becnuanaland mounted polico. He waged successful war against the Matabelo. I don't wonder that his men idolized him.

In the first place be is a born leader of men: and. secondly, he has that quality of personal magnetism which is as rare, as itis indescribable. "That hia raid into the Transvaal was made without the knowledge nnd consent of this chartered company I do not believe. As you see, the compauv'a territory lies to "the north of the South African republic, and includes Mashonaland and Matabeleland. Johannesburg, the great mining town, is not fnr from the border, and, had Dr.

Jameson's band reached that town, the Americans and the English, who compriso tho majoritv of its population, would havo rallied around Dr. Jim, and tho result would have beer, nniti different. As it is I dare sav his punishment will not bo severe. The whole Enclish nation is on his side." Like Dr. Jameson Mr.

Bedingfield is a Scotchman by birth, but lived a number of years in London before ho came to this countrv. DEATH OF MRS.

DR. S. GIFFARD NELSON ON HOW TO MEET THEM. In the Bedford avenue Baptist church, yesterday morning, the Rev. Dr.

S. Giffard Nelson preached from Numbers He said in part: "Soon after leaving Mount Sinai, the children of Israel, under the leadership of Moses, came to the borders of the promised land. They might have entered then, nor known the melancholy experience of forty yeaTs of desert wandering. But they lacked faith, and tho courage faith Inspires. The spies crossed over, and returning, reported the land to be all that the most sanguine fancy pictured it, but, said ten of their number, 'The people be very strong and the cities are walled and very great, and, moreover, we saw the children of Anak there." So, notwithstanding the coveted possession was in sight, the ho3t of Israel re colled affrighted.

Two brave men, Caleb and Joshua, counseled courage and action, but the multitude regarded them as foolhardy enthusiasts. How exactly the old dTama repeats Itself In the frequent human experience of today. Very soon after the disciple enters on the Christian life he is confronted by If be intelligent, he meets with difficulties that are speculative. We are all eager to see with certainty beyond this life. The language of the Impatient heart Is, 'Show us the We seek, at least, some faint photograph of the headlands of Immortality.

We forget that knowledge here must be relative; that man In his thinking cannot rise above his race. Our temper, condition and pursuits preclude positive knowledge of the world of spirits. Yet, rational Investigation Insists, if there be a God and a better world, that the Divine should have traced upon the firmament a map of the viewless realms. Shutting their ears to the deliverances of the soul, and unable to receive those of. the Spirit, men turn to nature for an answer to the spiritual problem seek to fathom the ocean by dabbling In a wayside pool.

Nature being under a reign of law, one Is to believe that nothing can happen but in conformity to law, as man understands it. So prayer Is unavailing and providence a myth. We forget that laws, though unlyersal, are constantly being modi fled to special uses. Even our own utilization of the laws of ereotrlcity and that by which sound travels that these laws are available for our special ends and yet are never broken by our adaptations are facts to whose significance we appear to be blind. Infinite power Is not so conditioned by that which It has created as to be enslaved by it.

To know God men must turn within, rather than without. The soul where spirit meets with spirit, God with man. Is the tribunal of spiritual Judgment. Enter within yourself and do your thinking for yourself. Divest the mind of prejudice and preconception.

Concern yourself but little, and In the outset not at all, with doctrines and dogma. These ar.e the hu3ks of theology on which many perish. Seek to 'know God. Ask Him and He will commune with you. He will teach you those things that He deeper than logical demonstration will ever conduct you.

Again there are difficulties growing out of experience. There are anomalies In life. The noble overcome bv advorslty. the rlcn fool waxed insolent; the good cause overborne, the evil for the tlmo triumphant Is not faith shaken by these No; for now I know and see but In part. The business ot faith Is not to solve the universal problem.

To find God in my Individual experience, this Is enough; for If I find Him there, I shall trust Him in all things and every wfoere." Beecriam's pills for constv pation io and 25. Get the book at your druggist's and go by. it. usvu mcDuus uu uo cajiieo. in tne month of January, 1897.
