Text of the Recent Corrospeaficace of ths BejiUbHcan Rivals Tlio Latter De clines to Discuss the Issues at Stake. r1 Bitter AsT.tigmnantf. The Eagle recently reported that Robert D. Benedict had invited Congressman W. C.

Walloon trt ir im in nf rl nlio nil Hlrt r.KnPC. tive moriti of tlioii' candidacies before the votera of tlio Third district raid that Mr. Wallace had declined to meet him as proposed. Mr. Benedict now gives out tlio correspondence, and mighty interesting mattes' it ia.

This is Mr. Benedict's first communication Willtam C. Will lace. M. Sm You me, I understand, openly candidate, as I myself am, for tlio Republican liomination for congress in tlio Third district.

There is au important question involved, as you Know, in that nomination to vliioli I understand that you and I hold opposite views. Those views, I think, should ba fully presented to tha Republicans of the district for their consideration before thoir choice is exercised. I therefore invito yon to a public discussion upon tlio following statement of facts and question, viz. "A dulegato to a political convention lias been requested a certain candidate to become such delegate in his interest. The caucus naming audi delegate unanimously instructs him to votu for such candidate.

A circular pledging the delegate to do all in bin power to secure the nomination of such candidate is opouly distributed beforo and at the primary election at which such delegate is chosen. Beforo the convention meets the delogate is ottered the nomination himself by men who tell him that the candidate; to whom ho is pledged cannot be nominated. Ho keeps the oiler secret from Mich candidates, substitutes another delocate in his place, instructing him to vote for such candidate, and receives and accepts the nomination. Is such action of tiie deleguto a breach of the requirements of a proper Btandard of honor and good faith in political I understand that yon hold the negative, of this question, while I maintain the affirmative. That is, I understand that you hold the view that such action of a delegate is not a broach of the reciuiremeuts 1 of tiuch proper standard of honor and good faith, while I maintain that it is such breach, Tho tacts which make the above question pertinent to tho present situation aro perfectly well known to you and myself.

Tho question was involved two years ago, but no opportunity was thon afforded for its discussion. Such oppartuu ityis now presented, and I think the cause of good polities in tho future would be subserved by such a debate. 1 bee of you, therefore, to name Bomo one to act for you in making such arrangements for a debato as shall be reasonable and fair to both sides. Awaiting your Bpeedy answer. I remain, yours, IioiiKiiT D.

Benedict. 303 Adelvui Street, September 8, 1800. Mr. Wallace from his seat in congress sent his reply: Jtobert I). Benedict: Sin Your communication dated September 8, was delivered to mo by your messenger on the 10th iust.

In your desire for a pnblie discussion with me, you utterly ignoro tho fact that the legislative situation hero and my duly to my constituents in Brooklyn require my constant and faithfnl attendance upon my congressional duties. Ignorance of the demands upon the representative from your district is not tlio best indorsement of your present political ambition. I have nothing to discuss with you. I emphatically deny that I have ever been guilty of bad faith toward you. Your pretended charge against mo was circulated by you and 3'our sympathizers throughout tho length and breadth of the district previous to the election in ihkh: treated your personal statements with unbroken eilonce.

The ltepublican voters of the district passed upon all tho questions you then raised and so bitterly circulated (and there are no new ones), and despito vour opposition, by a largo majority they elected me to represent them, and thus declared their confidence in me and their disbelief in your charges. For two years 1 have been subjected to the Grossest misrepresentations from you and your friends. You are well aware that the success of your political aspirations has been matter of entire indifference to me. You are v. dl aware that tho only conversation you over ii.d with mo as to any candidacy of yours was whtji I declined to be a member of your delegation.

Yon are well aware that I never signed or authorized any one to sign my name to any circular pledging myself to your candidacy. The sources of your information as to my beliefs are unknown to me. They evidently arc no more reliable than the supposed basis of your recently published statements regarding tho promised support which tho Seventh ward delegation was to have given yon two years ago. A positive denial signed by all the members of tho Seventh ward delegation and declaring that your statements were not only untrue, but that you never had any basis whatever therefor, must have convinced you how untrustworthy your alleged in formation was. Your subsequent weak attempt to shift the responsibility upon a reputable gentleman of tho Seventh ward, no way connected with the delegation, has in like manner met with a signal failure.

You must acquire methods of obtaining more accurate information before demanding public discussion. I thank you for the opportunity Which your letter lias afforded me of saying to the voters of tho Third congressional district that I have no personal grievance to which I invito their attention. I havo endeavored faithfully and intelligently to represent the interests of my district. If my course has met with the approval of my follow Republicans, I think that I am entitled to and will reoeivo their support. Yours, William C.

Wallace. House or Reiuif.sentatives, U. Washington, D. September 17, 1800. To this Mr.

Benedict mado reply as follows: IWllasi C. Wallace, M. Sib I have received your letter of tho 17th inst. Its closing paragraph states that you pro rjoso to communicate it to the voters of the district. It is, therefore, proper that I should reply, 1 take no time to comment on the tone of your romarkablo letter.

That Bpeaks for itself. You do not confine your answer to a refusal of the debate to which I invited you, but you attempt to divert attention from it by making an assault upon me. You Hay that I havo been for two years misrepresenting you 1 deny it. I challenge you to point out a line published by me, in rcforenco to this mutter, then or since, until the necessity for a correction of a manifest misstatement in a ltepublican organ as to tho convention of 1888. called out my letter of last, and in that I only referred to you incidentally.

You know that if I had chosen your campaign of two years ago would have been a very different one. But now when you ask tho Republicans of this district for a reuomiuation, I thought and think that their attention should be called to your peculiar views of good faith. I proposed to do this openly and in your presence, with lull opportunity on 3 nur part to defend thoro views if you could. You decline my proposition. You lirst offer the excuse that you could not be absent from you? legislative duties, although one of the evenings on which you havo been absent from thcni.iu Brooklyn, during the KBven days that you delayed your reply to my letter would havo sufficed.

You thon say you lia.ve nothing to "disciiBs'' with inc. And yet yon proceed to discuss in your letter. I now take my part in the discussion, and I stato four facts which you cannot deny: 1. 1 requested you to become one of the delegates to tho congressional convention of 1888, in my behalf. I note that yon write that in a conversation with mo you "declined to be a member" of my delegation.

You did not decline; but whether you assented or declined at that time is immaterial, for 2. You attended tho caucus and participated in your own selection as such delegate, and you voted for the motion passed unanimously by the caucus, pledging such delegation to my support. 3. A circular with your name attached, asking votes for that delegation and giving a pledge "to do our utmost to secure the nomination of Robert I). Benedict," was publicly circulated with your knowledge and approval before and at the primary.

You say you did not sign that circular. I havo never said that you did. You say you never authorized the appending of your name to that circular. That raises an issue, not with me, but with your associates of the delegation who signed your name and issued tho circular. But that circular, with your name attached, was issued in order to secure your being chosou a delegate, was printed in tho newspapers and was circulated by the hundred through tho ward and at the primary, at which you were present, and you knew it at the time and never disclaimed it, but took the benefit of it.

It is effrontery for you to say that you did not authorize the circular. hen you saw it distributed at the primary and did not disclaim it you authorized it, and overy man knows it. You cannot escape the burden of the pledge contained in it by the denial of a fact wliieh 1 not charce and which is immaterial. Thus trebly pledged ns you were to do your utmost to secure my nomination, can you tell any one thins that you did to secure it? I will tell you what you did to defeat it. J.

Having been chosen as such delegate forme, you made an agreement to bo nominated instead of me. All knowledge of this agreement you concealed from me. Without consulting mo you sent a sv.bstUr.ts the convention, instructing him to vote for me. and you obtained tho nomination and accepted it. These are the facts.

Your letter states that I havo misrepresented you. I deny it. I have stated these four simple facts, not one of which your letter deir.es. You claim. I see, that tho Republicans of tho district passed upon the questions iuvolvod in your liomination when tliey elected you.

No. You and your associates, by your concealment of your candidacy, gave no opportunity to the convention to pass upon theso questions before your nomination, and the voters wero prevented from expressing their condemnation at the election by the exigencies of tho Presidential and congressional campaign, which this act of bossism, to which you lont yourself, had seriously endangered. Yon endeavor to troat thin matter as if it were a more personal grievance of mine I thank yon for the opportunity of Saying that it is far more. Tho action of your associates and yourself was a grievous wrong done to tho ltepublican party. It was a sacrifice of the wishes, interests nnd rights of the party to selfish interests and personal advantages.

It was a typical act of bossism. That it was accompanied by it breach of honor and good faith on your part made it exceptionally evil. You being the beneficiary of it now ask for its indorsement. I ask for its condemnation. Whether your part in it was or was not a breach of good faith was tho question whoso diBcussion I proposed.

You decline a public diFCiission of it. Lot me, therefore, in closing, commend to yonr private and thoughtful consideration the speech of Major Moliinloy in the Republican national convention of 1888. His situation w.ts oxaetly tho same as yours. When it was proposed to vote for him in the con vention ho did not sit outside of the convention, Bending a substituto to caBt a formal voto for John Sherman, but ho roso in his placo and said to tho convention; "I cannot consistently with my own views of my own personal integrity consent or seem to eeiiBont to permit my namo to Be used as a candidate beforo this convontiofi, I do request I demand that no delegate who would not cast reflection upon mo shall east a ballot for mo." Ilia action, which commended itself to all right minded men, was tho exabt reverse of yours. Yours, Robert D.

Benedict. 363 ADELrni Stueet, Soptcmbor 20. 9 AMiJIINCH BI THE NEW PEOCESS. OmoAao, Soptember 20. The new process of making aluminum from common cla? is to bo to tho proof in ordor to: nettle tho discussion which has arisen since the claims mado try Professor if.

Fatbor Malonc's Parishioners fiHoIU aa Important Jubilee iTJoctlo. Tho parishioners of Sts. Petor and Paul's, tho pioneer Catholic churoh of tlio eastern district, of which Rov. Sylvoator Malono ia the pastor, are taking active measures, to be well represented in tho jubilee parade next month, although littlo baa boon heard about them in tho newspapers. A meeting was held in tho Sunday school hall adjoining tho odifico, on Wytho avenue, near South Second street, last evening, which was very largely attended.

Ex Supervisor James S. Donovan, tho chairman, prosidod, oud James J. Malloy recorded. A communication from the general committeo stating that accommodation for only 300 persona at the banquet could be had ami, ns there would be fifty invito! guests, only i irk, t. nt I apieco, were for sale.

Each pirish wja entitled to fiVO and mon Whll wanted tlVkof almnlrl miln application on or before the Otli pro. After that Kmiv tuuiieiua i'i iui iraiuii oe iuorcu ami it would he first come first served. Chairman uiovan advised nnv man who wanted a ticket to apply for it at once. Joseph McCormick reported having engaged a baud of music and otaled that Chinese lanterns, with caudles, could bo purchased for f4 per hundred. The chairman suggested that it would bo well to have a committeo of thirty to assist tiie pariah committee, and on motion ho was authorized to appoint suoh committee to take on charge of tho parade.

Ho named the following: Patrick HayoB John Kcnvin, Thomas Kenm, John F. Ryan. I'. II. McGuinncsa, Georgo Ourr.in, William E.

Bergen, Peter J. Ward, John HiieU man, John S. Kersey, Samuel J. Matthews, Paul Hofiov. Daniel 11.

McCarthy and Jr. They recorded tho names of all, making tiie Patrick Hayes said that ho understood from the minutes of the previous meeting that a motion to hire two carriagos for tho pastor and his assistants was laid on the table. No houor which thoy could do Father JIalono, he said, would be too groat. Thoy wero justly proud of him and wero hound to him by tho ties of affection, for, in addition to being their pastor, he had christened or married most of them. Ho moved that a carriage be provided for him.

The chairman explained for the benefit of Mr. Hayes and others who wero not present at tho previous meeting that tho action was had at tlio request of Father Maloue, who said that ho would walk at tho head of hia parishioners. Ho was prevailed upon since, on account of hia age, not to walk. The motion to provido a carriago prevailed and tho chairman announced that Mr. John Kcrwin had volunteored to furnish tho coach at hia own expense.

Tho quoBtion of wearing badges was talked over, and Mr. HayoB thought that since thoy woro to march oehiud tho beautiful banner of tho Holy Namo society aud the national flag, tho former designating tho parish, they might not need badges. Anyway, it would bo too aoon to ordor badgea, for they could not tell how many they would want. A member of tho Holy Namo society complained that if tho weather was unpleasant "their banner might be tarnished. Father Ward replied with spirit that if it wero tarnished it would be a good cause.

Anyway, they could well afiord to buy another. John Groany said that he belougod to tlio church ainoe it whb erected, and although not living in tho pariah for years ho attended the church. He recollected tho old church at Kent avouue and North Eighth atreet gotting built, and remembered Father Malono placing his hand upon his (the speaker's) head and saying, "Be a good boy." As Mr. Hayes had said, a demonstration like the coming ono would never occur again in thoir timo ho the old men of the church, many of whom now live iu other parishes, would, he believed, come in at tho last moment and parado with them. Tho marahal of the oarish n.irndp.

Cant in James F. Kelly, said that Mansfield nost had oitered tho uso of Grand Army hail, on Bedford avenue, freo to hold a meeting and drill on tho evening of October 1G. Ho said that the parishes could adopt any system they liked regarding badges and torches or other liVMi lnt offeiisivo would bo permitted in tlio parade. Mansfield post's offer waa accepted and a voto of thanks tendered it. Mr.

Hayes said tnat tho different companies could ho apportioned in the hall that night and they could drill. Marahal Kelly said that two neighboring parishes go to halls to drill. The church yard was too small to drill in. Mr. Hayes said that each man who enrolled ton names would bo appointed a captain when ho reported to tho marshal.

No parish ought to mako a better showing iu tho parade than theirs, and ho did not beliovo anv would. rAnnl.iiK. Tho companies could moot and drill when and wherever thoy liked whon formed. One parish had engaged Knickerbocker hall for meeting and John Greane.v said that district cmnmiiti ns wero appointed iu St. Vincent do Paul's parish for purposes of organization, and it would bo some Wing ior mem to consider.

On tho motion of Marshal Kelly tho secretary was instructed to invito all social organizationa in the parish to join in tlio parade. The invitation will be extended to the A. C. Chapin club, of Grand street and Bedford i club, of Bedford avenue and South Sixth street; litaon ciuo, or uraiid and Havomeyor streets; Lawrence 1. Carroll association and Mansfield, Georeo Ricard and Thnniaa S.

Dai. ii, sir Leonard's academy, Loyola union and several others. Marshal Ivellv announced thnt Rnvmi nnniTmnipQ had alroady been formed by young men. Father Ward aaid that thoy would walk ten abreast in the proeeaaion, in8tead of fifteen, as some of tho streets woro narrow and, beside, they would mako a better showirrg. Marshal Kolly said that tho question of hatB should bo considered.

High hats and derby hats should not be mixed iu the same company, they should be separated. High hats and derby hats should form separato companies. Mr. Hayes Biiggostod that tho captains in raising thoir companies should ask the men what kind of hats they intended wearing and seo that they wero uniform. John Kcrwin said that thero wero many who could not march to the tunc of martial music, but tlioy should bo in tho parade all the same.

The church waa an old one, tho pioneer of tho district, and if ho understood Father Malono correctly ho was iu favor of extending the hand of fellowship to all in honoring a good man, a good prolate and a good citizen, for in doing so they would houor Brooklyn and, as part of it, thomselves. hn added, "let. us in vite all our neighbors, no matter of what religion, Jow or Gontile, to join us in tho parade in honor of a good man who haa grown with our city. Wo can auoru io no generous auu lorgoc tlio past. Wo want all tho old fellows in tho parado, whether they can keep step or not." Marshal Kelly exolained that it was a very easy matter to keen step.

After the adjournment the executive committeo of thirty mot, with Patrick Hayes in tho chair and Thomas Dolanoy recording. The mattor of carrying torches was brought up for consideration, and John Urcanoy said that it would not look well, it would aavor a littlo in appearance of tho political parado to carry torches. Thoy would moot and march aa Catholics, and every iiction of thoirs should ao indicate. Mr. uayea said tnat Mr.

iienvm'a suggestion at tlio oarish meeting to invito tho np.io hbors irre spective of orood to join in tho parade was a good ono. Ho remembered tho timo when it would not be safe to ask aomo of their neighbors to come into tho hall, but thoy had got over that aud would now if invited turn out iu tho parado. Father Malone'a opiuiona wero alwas'a broad and liberal, and thoy were correctly interpreting thorn by inviting Jow and Gentile to parade. Mr. Kcrwin said that there wero many men of other ilcnomination3 in tho city who would liko to do honor to the bishop.

On motion a committeo of fivo, as follows, waa appointed to consult Father Malono about the matter: John Kerwin, James F. Kelly, Arthur MeGerald, John Greanoy, Georgo Curran: Marshal Kolly said that they should have lights in tho procession, lights of nomo kind for tho musicians aud paraders. He suggested drum moud aud calcium lightB. Mr. Hayes favored the idea and thought that torcheB or any kind ot transparencies would not look well.

Transparencies wore not permitted, however. Only tho church banner aud Hags should bo used. After a further exchange of viewa on matters pertaining to tho parado Mr. Hayes said tha.t their principal duty was to thoroughly organize tho pariah. In his opinion tho hotter way would bo to district tho parish aud appoint a committeo for each district.

Father Ward said that all the information they deaircd about tho pariah would bo furnished by him. Several yonng mon volunteered to have it districted by blockB and report at the next meeting, when a committeo will be appointed to canvass each. HOTEL AKUIVALS. Ciaiiesdon Admiral G. It.

Tho Sumner avenue Methodist churoh yesterday afternoon celebrated tho second anniversary of the completion of thoir now church by a Sunday school jubilee and by tho raisins of tho last $300 of the $1,000 which tho Sunday school pledged toward tho church building fund. Tho churoh was wall filled.

0. Jones, superintendent of tho Bchool, presided, and tho speakers wero Itav. Dr. 0. C.

Lasbv, tho popular pastor of tho church: Bov. T. I. Frost, of tho Suramorfiold Mothodiat church, and Bov. Dr.

Jordan of the Sixth avenue Methodist church. Mr. FroBt tallied first. Ho told of tho Indian raid on Deerfield, and said that in their descents from Canada the Indians mado trails through tho green mountains where tho railroads now run. When wo got a railroad to South America and it works its way through the Andes, it will bo along old Indian trails.

The crooltod streets of Boston were laid out along cow paths. and in the history of nations people always follow the early trails. So it is in life. The boys beforo me aro now making paths that they will walk in their whole lives long. Wo call thoso paths tho poner of habit.

If a boy makos a path to a saloon he will bo pretty likely to walk iu it all his life. So if he forms a ha'bit of read ins trashy stories. So it will bo, too, if he forms tho habit of reaching out aftor something grander and nobler than ho has in his lifo. The Sunday school sets children in right paths. Mr.

Frost told the boyc some funny Green mountain fishing and hunting stories and said thero wero time in every boy's lifo whon ho thought he knew it all. That state of mind was surer than the measles, because a few boys escape tho latter. Moses was probably a good doal meeker after ho got through with tho boyish notion that ho knew more than anybody around Pharaoh's palaco. So the modern boy thinks ho knows better than hi3 father's advice, his mother's piayeM or tho light of tho gcod old Bible. Thon he no cds some power to sot him right, and tho Sunday school is the very place.

This is a wise ago and many of its wisest moil aro devoted to tho work of Sunday school instruction. The Sunday school is not a weakling, but a thing of power, capable of training strong men. Mr. Frost told a story of how farmers find a bee tree, and told tho children to be like tho bees: to carry goodness, sweetness and sunshine to their homes, but not taffy; to maintain a straight course like tho bee and not to be diverted into crooked ways. The collection wa3 then taken up by classes, and Carrie Wells, a i year old of tho infant class, sang a hymn.

Dr. Jordan told the story of his reception by a Sunday school where, upon his entrance, tho school struck up the hymn with tho refrain, "We'll rest by and by over Jordan," and assnrod tho children that they would have that pleasure in a very few minuto3. Dr. Jordau praised tho school for the monoy it had raisod for tho church, and told the story of three men who were trying to roll a log up an incline but were unable to do so until a school boy camo along and supplied lust tho amount of strength needed. That boy went around telling how "wo" rolled the log, and ho had a right to do it, and so havo the members of this Sunday school who havo helped pay the church debt.

He urged them to cultivate loyalty to their own school, doclaring that every child ought to believe his Sunday school, his superintendent and his toaohers tho boat in the world. Then ho ought to make othor people think so. You can help your Sunday school and your minister by shouting for thorn, llemember that "wo are the people." This isn't going abroad to China and India, but it is doing your duty right hero and now as well aB you can The things that you keep from doing will help your mother and father as much as tho things you do. Dr. Lasby, the pastor, mado a brief and attractive address.

Office 502 Fulton Stueet, Buoohl September 25, 7 tin: Mfinwrs of lha institute: The board of directors of the institute, with tho co operation of tho council of associate members, have made arrangements for tho continuance of the work of the institute without interruption or delay, believing that it would prove wisest Hi tho end to pursue a vigorous and progressive policy rather than a halting and uncertain course. Tlio lectures in the general course, as well as tho meetings of most of tho departments, will take placo in tho hall and lecture rooms of tho Young Men's Christian Association building. This building is so centrally located, so easy of access from ah parts of tho citv, and tho hall and rooms aro so largo and comfortable that' the members aro to bo congratulated that Biich admirable quartors have been provided. Equally good lecture rooms for the departments of electricity and physics have been secured through the generosity of the union for Christian work and the Packer collegiate institute, respectively. It is earnestly oxnectod that all tho members of tho institute, realizing, aB they do, tho importance of carrying forward tho work of tho institute with a strong hand, will bring to their aid and support many of their neighbors and friends who would oujoy tho privileges of membership in tho institute were those pnv iliges mado known to them.

To each member is sent a copy of tho year book and a prospectus of the lectures and work of tho coming year. Fortified with these and your own knowledge of the work which the institute has dono and what it proposes in the futuro to do, each member will bo ablo to add one or moro members to tho instituto roll and theroby help to mako good losses caused by the lire and to add permanent strength to tho institute. Very truly yours, John B. Woodwamj, Prosident. TnE Brooklyn Institute, Office, 502 Fulton stiveet, Biiooklyn, September 25, 1800.

3) Dear sin The recont tiro in the instituto building has rendered necessary some provision for tho contin nance of the work of the instituto in temporary quarters for a considerable portion of the present season. The Young Men's Christian ABsooiatiOn has offered tho use of its lecture rooms for tho meotings of some of the departments, tho union for Christiau work has tendered tho u.o of its commodious lecture room for tho moetings of other departments, tho Packer collogiate institute donates the use of a lecture room for tho depart menlof phvaics. Tueae and other similar sonorous proffeiB of rooms will enable the work of tho departments to continue unabated. It hasbeon necessary, however, to rent tho Association had tor tho general lectures and moetipgsof tho institute, to provide for an office for the transaction ot business, and to tender to tho various institutions that have generously donated the nso of their rooms, sums of monoy sufficient to defray tho cost of tho extra light, heat and janitor's care, occasioned by our meetings. To meet theso expenses will require not far from i'i, 500.

This seems a Bmall sum as compared to the loss the instituto would miff or it tho work wero to bo discontinued. It is proposed to raise this amount in subscriptions of $10 oach, and to invito 250 citizens of Brooklyn to contribute thoretq. Inviting your co ooeratiou in making up tho required amount, I am, Very truly yours, John B. Woopwaup, President Board of Trustees. Checks should be drawn payablo to William Fotts, treasurer.

Germans Who Do Not Favor Independent Action. A Dscionscd Attciidaacs at festorday's Meeting of the General Committeo ia Arion Hell The Delegates Arranging for M.tss Mvetins. Tho German Democratic general committeo met again yesterday afternoon at Arion hall, on Wall street, to disuiiiM tho actions of Boss Mo Laiii'hlin aud the Democratic party in refusing thc recognition in tho coming Tho attendance yesterday was not as largo aa at former gatherings and the session seemed to lack tho enthusiasm that had heretofore been displayed. It was lon after 3 o'clock whou Counselor Henry Fuehrer, president of thu committee, called tiie meeting to order. Joseph Reimer recorded tho proceeding.

After the minntes of the previous meeting had been read and approved one of the members announced tho withdrawal of Mr. Franz Buck from the committee. Tho secretary then real the following communication from Jacob Su presidont of tho Twenty first ward German Democratic club: September 18, 1800. To the Herman 'Ofmuiratic General Committee Kiiiy Comi'u: Gk.stl!:mkx In yonr last meeting on Sunday, my nam! v.is used without my cou fent. My opinions coined iu with thoso of Dr.

Paul Krr tiiscliMar, and my desire is that your assemblage will not further use my namo, as I am a Democrat of tho regular organization. Jacou Saswel. Asanon as the secretary had finished reading tho letter the chairman declared that Mr. Sam sol's name had never been r.aed and requested that ihe secretary send him a letter to that effect. Mr.

Beyer moved that the communication from Mr. Samsel be laid over for further consideration. Tlio motion was carried. Mr. Otto Suhr, one of the members of tho executive committee, said that it was tho deaiio of that body that a committeo of fivo bo appointed to make a canvas among the new German clubs throughout tho county for the purpose of ascertaining how many of them desired to becomo members of tlio organization.

Ho said that a committee of six had been asked for by the New York city German Democrats. It was moved and carried that the president bo empowered to appoint tho committeo rccom monded. At this point of tho proceedings Sir. Hoppels called the attention of the delegates to an artiole which ho said had appeared in a Brooklyn papor aB an interview with Joseph II. Btranss.

He asked Mr. Strauss if the interview was correct. Mr. Strauss replied that it was correct: that ho had given it, and that he belioved in what ho had caid. During all campaigns, contended Mr.

Strauss, a good general is needed, aud this organization has made many mistakes. I waa in tho failures, part of them. This evoked laughter. Mr. Beyer interrupted Mr.

Strauss by declaring that he was talking out of order. President Fuehrer sustained Mr. Beyer and declared that Mr. Strauss had only been asked a question. Mr.

Suhr then got the floor and dcclarod that Mr. Strauss had said ono thing boforo tho assemblage, and on the following day had denied it in an interview. I have never seen such an example of falsity, shouted Mr. Suhr. Hero Mr.

Fuehrer broke in. He said that ho had always believed Mr. Strauss to be his friend, but ho now learned differently. Mr. Velton said that ho had always been misrepresented by reporters and declared that if it occurred again tho reporters would havo to suffer.

Mr. Lauten also took exceptions to an artiole in the Now York Zilinii. Mr. Erbo moved that President Fuohror bo om powered to direct a question to bo addressed to Mr. Jacob Samsel as to any special reason for his action.

Tho motion was carried and a committee waa appointed to visit Mr. Samsel for that purpose. At this point of tho proceedings Mr. Geis caused a little excitement among the delegates by requesting that Mr. Strauss bo suspended from the organization.

Mr. Lauten said that the organization had not tho power to act on a matter of suspension. Mr. Suhr Baid that the committee could noton tortain any such motion as that. No action was taken.

Mr. r.rcnnan asked when tho first mass mooting was to bo held. Mr. Fuehrer said that the dato selected was October 2i and tho plueo Arioti hall. There would, lie added, be a public meet ins at the corner of Twenty sixth street and Third avenue, New York, on October 14, undor tho auspices of the German organizations of that citr.

Tho chair then announced tho following committees: On new clnbs requesting admission to the organization Christian Schaelfer, Charles Evers, Richard Erbc, August Miller and Herman lloppe. On general organization of Gorman Democratic clubs throughout the stato Otto F. Suhr, Hugo J. Lauten, John Boeder, Louis Behrmann, William Wagner and Henry Adolph. The meeting adjourned until Sunday next.

A noticeable featuro of tho gathering waa tho absence of Mr. P. P. Huborty, a clerk in tho excise department. At the last meeting Mr.

Huborty created considerable excitcmont by offenug a resolution condemning tho actions of tho committeo in tho course it had nnrsnod iu seokiug patronage from the Democratic party. After tho meeting adjourned yosterday, a caucus of the delegates of tho German Democratic clubs of the Eighteenth ward was held for tho purpose of placing in nomination a candidate for supervisor. Two candidates for tho nomination were offered Denis Winter and John J. Boeder. Thoro wero twonty four delegates present and when, tho ballots wero counted it was found that tlio voto was a tie.

Another ballot was taken with tho samo result and on motion tho nomination was laid over until Thursday night, when it will bo brought boforo tlio presidents of the variouB clubs, who will meet in Arion hall.

Sanford is CouBin to his ton step children. Thero is a record for crookedness back of 8auford as woll as tlio woman. Ho has been very muoh of a marryinz man. His first wife was Mary Sills, familiarly known aa Sis Mary, because she was full six fcot tall and wctahed ovortwo hundred pounds. Thoy wore married by tho Kev.

W. H. Llttoll, of Setauket, and lived tosrethor for a year. Sanford abandoned tho woman and in a few weeks married her cousin, Fanny Jane Sills. Tho llov.

IX W. Richardson, of Port Jefferson, tied the knot. Wife No. 1 proceeded at once to separate them and had Sanford locked up on a chartre of bigamy tho day after tho marriage, llo was convicted and sentenced to tho state prison for a term of two years, tho jury having recommended him to tho mercy of the court after akins a look at tho stature and avoirdupois of tho jilted woman. After his release from prison he went to live with Fanny Jane.

Sho died lesB than six months ago. The Conklin woman, to whom he has juat been married, was the aunt of his former wives. If this last married again makes Sanford liable to proaecution for bigamy, it is not unlikely that Mrs. Sanford No. 1 will lodco another complaint against him.

THE GLBASOS KOfllNATIOSS. Old Politicians Say That the Convention DiI Some Shrewd Worlt. Tho Eagle's full report of tho proceedings of tho Gleason Democratic convention mado a ereat demand for the paper down the ialand yesterday, and wherever two men mot tho subject waa dis cuBRcd. Tho professional politicians wero astounded by tho audacious cleverness of tho convention's work. The party walked right into tho honso of tho Sutphiuites and selected tho two candidates for the loading offices that tho Sntpbinitos themselves had slated Colonol Fleming for district attorney aud Major HcKcmau for county troaa urer.

TIub would not have been done if tho Sutphin county committeo had not passed tho resolution to discountenauco any man put forward by the Gleasou faction. Now tlio' Sutphiu itea find thomselves in an awkward position. They must ignore tho resolution or destroy the men of their choice. If tho former, they will bo ridiculed everywhere. If tho latter, political revolution will follow.

Major Hcsomau can be sholvod without arousing much feeling and he probably will be, haviuz boon in offico now twelve years, bot in the caso of Colonel Floniing there would bo suoh a popular uprising as would sweep tho Democracy into tho sea. Gleason dislikes Fleming, and ox Corporation Counsel Noble would have been namod for public prosecutor as a means of defeating him by dividing tho Democratic vote if tho Sutphin committee had kept a level head. Gleason Bays: "I havo nominated these Sutphinitea as a moans of restoring liar, mony. Ail my party wants is Democratic victory. We havo nominated Mr.

Fagan for the assembly and wo expect tho Sutphinitcs to show their loyalty by indorsing him. If any Democrat is beaton this fall it will not be tha fault of my The nominco of tho Sutphin convention for comity treasuror will probably be Suparviaor Joseph Dykes. In this event Major Hegeman ia expected to decline tho Gloaaou nomination. "What will you do in such a case the mayor was asked. "The question will have to bo referred to tho party," ho replied.

"I do not admire Mr. Dykes, but if the party declares for him I will yield gracefully. He is an honest man and capable, but ho lias been bitterly opposed to our sido." The Republicans do hot seem to bo anxious to tako advantaso of Democratic divisions, being entirely at sea and badly disorganized. John E. Van Nostrand has been suggested for county treasurer, bnt he is not rnnning after the nomination.

Josoph E. Firth, keeper of tho Barnum Island poor houso, is looking for it, and probably will get it. George Wallace will accept tho nomination for district attorney if Mr. Firth gets loft for the other office, but if ha suecoeds Harrison S. Moore will probably bo named for district attorney.

There is a chance of the party electing tho treasurer. r.KCENT SALES OF ESTATS. Among tho moro important aalos of real estate recently have been the following: College Point Johaune M.

The critical moment in tho hiatoryof the 'dockers' union is approaching, the moment which will mark tho beginning of a lifo aud death Btruggle between this most romarkablo of labor organizationa and its natural enemy, that moat gigamic organization of capital, tho ship owners' federation. Throo veBoela from Australia, loaded aud manned by non unionists, aro duo to arrivo in London thia week. If tho dockers refuse tc unload them a general lockout is certain to follow.

If they do unload them they abandon the principle of unionism and forsake thoir brethren in Australia. A lockout at this particular timo would bo a serious blow for the men, aa their funds aro depleted by their liberal donations in aid of tho Australian strikers. Tho ship owners' federation has enough non nnion men on its list to form a working force and th3 only trouble would be to securo sufficient polioe aid to protect tho now men for a while from tho violence of the locked out union men. Tlio unionists realize the gravity of tho Bitua tion and tho matter will ba fully debated at tho first annual congress of tho organization, whioh will bo in session from Tuesday to Thursday of this wook. A decision will then bo arrived at in regard to tho policy to bo pursued by tho union toward the ship owners' federation, both iu tho present emergency and in general.

Tho Chronicle declares thai "auch procoodinga are a blot upon our boaated civilization" and calls upon parliament to atop such horrible and brutal scenes. The Telcnraph says that tho battlo was waged with scrupulous fairness, and furnishes tho authorities with a capital teat caso for attacking such exhibitions on puroly legal grounds. Tho Sportsman says: "McAuliffo'a arma woro soft and flabby and ho appeared light below tho knee, juat where ho requirod support. With fully two and a half atone to get off he was at a great disadvantage in the training, which woakoued him considerably, and in some measure accounts for his collapse. Our opinion is that McAnliffo is too big over to shine as a pugilist." Tho Swiss federal council has received a letter from the refugee Costioni, in England, confessing that he killed Councilor Rossi during tho Ti oino rovolt and attempting to justify his action.

At tho Church of tho BlosBed Hope, on Cumberland Btreet, yesterday Mio association for tho promotion of knowledge finished its seventh annual convention. About one quarter of tho total membership of the association was present in tho ohurch at the service yesterday morning, for there aro only 500, men, women and children, all over the United states who belong to the infant organization, whoso principles and peculiarities have been described in theao columns.

At tho morning sorvico Robert Ashcroft, pastor of the Church of tho Blessed Hope, preached on tho "Conditions of Fellowahip; in tho afternoon there woro communion service and a conference meeting, and in tho ovening asermon by William Broolrman, of Toronto, Canada, on "Tho Resurrection Needful for Futuro Life." The following iB an oxtract from tha evening sermon: I was asked some time ago in ono of our Toronto banks if I was ablo to diatiugniah between a genuine American bank note and a good counterfeit. I said I could not. The young man who asked tho question took ono of your notes and worked tho onds of it a little and showed mo a little blue throad runniug one third of tho way through it from tho bottom and about two thirds of tho way down from the top. ''That," ho said, "is Bomething counterfeiters cannot imitate." Iu liko manner every gonnino prophotio promise from God to man mnst possess the littlo blue threads of Jesus Christ and tha resurrection.

Impressions and Lessons ef His First Bay in Palestiae Oa tha House Top ftliere Petor Stood Whj Jonah Would Hot Go to NIhbvoIi. Eov. Dr. Talmagc, at tho Academy of Music yesterday morning, began tho long promised (series of sermons on his journey to tho Holy Land. Thero was a great crowd prosent, tho building being literally packed, while many people could not secure even Standing room.

Tho preaoher repoated his notico of tho fact that ho should hereaftor hold services overy Sunday evening in the Now York Acadomy of Music nntil the completion of tho new Tabornacle. All the expenses over thero wore paid for them. "Of course," ho added, "my own services aro gratuitous, as they are hero in Brooklyn, and cost no ono anything." He also announced that tho Sunday school room of tho new church would bo openod for use next Sunday at 3 P. M. Tho sermon yosferday was dovoted to tho preacher's first day in Palestine, tho text being the memorable words of tho Queon of Sheba: "The half was not told me." Dr.

Talmage talked much longer than usual. In onouing he Bpoke of the comparatively fow peoplo who had gone to tho Holy Land. Said he: The rarity of a successful, intelligent and happy iournay through tho Holy Land is very marked, lot tho time approaches when a journey to Palestine will bo common. Thousands will go where now thero aro scores. Two locomotives were recently sent up from Joppa to Jerusalem and railroads, aro about to begin in Palestine and tho day will como whon the crj' will be, "All out for Jorusalonil" "Twenty minutes for breakfast at Tiberias "Chance cars for Tyre "Grand trunk Junction for Nineveh "Allpnt for Damascus A company of capitalists havo gone up to Bohring Btriits where the American and Asiatio continents conio within thirty six miles of meeting.

These capitalists or others will build a bridgo across those straits, fai; midway aro thrco islands callod the Diome doa, and tho water is not deep and is never disturbed with icebergs. Trains of cars will run from America across that bridge and on down through Siberia, bringing under more immediate observation tho Bussian outrages against eiilos and conscquontiy abolishing them, and there are persons hero to day who, without one qnalm of seR sickness, will visit that wondorfnl land whore tho Chrmtly Abrahamie, Mosaic, Davidic, Bolo nionic and ilerodic histories overlap each other with such power that, by tho timo I took ray feet out of the stirrups at the close of tho journey, I folt so wrung out with emotion that it seemed nothing elso could ever absorb my feelings reim Dr. Talmage described in his own graphic way tho trip on tho Mediterranean steamer to Joppa and his impatience to reach Palestine. Com montius upon this dangerous harbor of Joppa, he remarked: Strange that with a few blasts of powder like that which shattered our American Hell Gate thoso rocks havo not Leen uprooted and the way cleared, so that groat ships, instead of anchoring far out from laud, might awoep ud to tho wharf for passengers aud freight. But you rmiBt remember that laud ia nnder tho Turk, and what tho Turk touches he withers.

Mohammedanism is against easy wharves, against steam era, against rail trains, against printing presses, against civilization. Darkness is always opposod to light. The owl hateB tho morn. Leavo thoso rocks where they practically crieB tho Turkish government; "we want no peoplo of other religions nnd other habits to land there; if tho salt Boas wash over them, lot it be a warning to other invaders; away with your nineteenth centuiTi with its freo thought and its modern inventions." That Turkish govenment ought to bo blotted from the i'aco of the earth, and it will be. Of many of tlio inhabitants of Palestine I asked the question, "Has tho sultan of Turkey over been Answer, "No." "Why don't ho conif, when it belongs to hiB dominion?" And, aftor tho man interrogated looked this way and that, so as to know ho would not be reported, tho answer would invariably be, "Ho dare not come." I believed it.

If the sultan of Turkey attempted to visit Jerusalem, ho would'never get back again. All Palestine hates him. I saw him go to the mosque for prayers in his own city of Constantinople and saw seven thousand armed men riding out to protect him. Expensive prayers! Of course that government wants no bettor harbor at Joppa. May Gad remove that curse of nations, that old hag of tho centuries, the Turkish government! For its everlasting insult to God and woman, let it porish Aud so th030 rocks at tho harbor remain tho jaws of repeated destruction, ijanghtor.

Dr. Talmage and his party reached tho shores of Palestine on Snnday morning, December 1, 1S80, at about 8 o'clock. Having briefly described the quaint old Joppa, "the city whoso Dorcas, that queen of the noodle, lived, died and was resurrected," the preacher continued: But I inhale some of tho odors of the largo tanneries around Joppa. It is thero to this day, a prosperous business, this tanning of hides. And that reminds me of Simon, tho tanner, who livod at Joppa, and was the host of Peter, tlio Apostle.

I suppose tho olfactories of Peter were as easily insulted by tho odors of a tannery as others. But tho Biblo says, "He lodged with one Simon, tho tanner." Peoplo who go out to do reformatory and missionary and Christian work must not bo too sensitive. Simou no doubt brought to ids homestead every night tlio nialodors of the calf skins and ox hides in his tannery, but Peter lodged in that home, not only because ho may not havo been invited to the houses of merchant princes surrounded by redolent gardens, but to teach all men aud women ongaged in trying to make tho world better thoy uiiiht not be squeamish and fastidious and finical and over particular in doing tho work of the world. Tho church of God is dying of fastidiousness. Y'c cry over the Bufferings of tho world in flOO pocket handkerchiefs, and then put a cent in tho poor box.

Thero are many willing to do Christian work among tho cleanly aud the refined and tlio elegant and the odu oatod, but excuse them from taking a loaf of bread down a dirty alloy, excuse them from teaching a mission school among tho uncombed and tho unwashed, excuse them from touching the baud of ono whose finger nails are in mourning for departed soap. Such religious proeision ists can toil in atmospheres laden with honeysuckle and rosemary, but not in air floating up from tho malodorous vata. No, no, no excuse them from lodging with one Simon, tho tanner. But roferenco to Peter rominds me that we must go to tho house top in Joppa where ho was taught the democracy of religion. That was about the queerest thing that ever happened.

On our waj' no to that house top wo passed au old woll where the great stones wero worn deep with the ropes of the buckets aud it muBt bo a well many centuries old, nnd. I think, Peter drank out of it. Four or live coat or calf skins tilled with water lay about tho yard. We booh got up tho steps and on the house top. It was in suen a placo iu Joppa that Peter, one noon, whilo ho was waiting for dinner, had a hungry tit and fainted away and had a vision or dream or trance.

Isaid to myfamily and friends on that house top, "Listen whilo I read about what happened here." And, opening the Bible, we had tho whole story. It seems that Potor on tho housetop dreamed that a groat blankot was lot down out of heaven and in it wore sheep and goats aud cattlo and mules and pigeons and buzzards and snakes and all manner of creatures that flv tho air or walk the iiel 1b or crawl tho earth, and in the dream a volco told him as ho was hungry to eat and he said, "I cannot eat things unclean." Throe times ho dreamed it. Thero was then hoard a knocking at the gate of the honso on the top of which Peter lay in a trance aud three men askod, "la Peter here?" Peter, whilo yet voudoring what his dream meant, descends tho stairs and meets theao strangers at the gate and tney tell him that a good man by tho name of Cornelius, in tho city of Cesarea, has also had a dream, and has sent them for Peter and to ask him to como and preach. At that call Peter left Joppa for Cesarea. The dream ho had just had prepared him to preach, for Peter learned by it to reject no.peo Elo as unclean, and wheroaa he previously thought must preach only tp the Jews, now ho goes to preach to the Gentiles, who were considered unclean.

Notieo how the two dreams meet Peter's dream on tho housetop, Cornelius' dream at Ciosarea. So I have noticed providences meet, distant ovents meet, dreams meet. Evory dream is hunting up some other dream and every event is searching for some othor event. In the fif teenth century (1402) the groat event waa tho discovery of America. Tho art of printing, born in tho Banio century, goes out to meet that discovery and mako tho new world au intelligent world.

The Declaration of Independence announcing equal rights moots Iiobort Burns' "A man's a man for a' that." John Hancock's pen and Kobert Burns' uen meet each other. Tho United States was gotting too largo to be managod by one government, and telegraphy was invented to compress within an hour the whole continent. Armies in the civil war wore to be fitted out with olothing. and tho sowing machino invention camo out to mako it posBiblo. Inirneuso farming acreage is presented iu this country, enough to support millions of our native born and millions of foreigners; bnt the old stylo of plow, aud ecytho and reaper aud thresher cannot do the work, and there camo steam plows, steam harrows, steam reapers, stoavn rakea, steam threshers, and the Work is accomplished.

Tho forests of the earth fail to afford sufficient fuel and so the coal miqes surrender a sufficiency. The cotton crops were luxuriant, but of comparatively little value, for they could not be managed, and so at just the right time Hargreaves oamo with hla invention of the spinning jenny, and Arkwright with his roller, and Whit hoy with hiB cotton gin. Tho world, after pottering along with tallow candles and whale oil, was crying for better light, and moro of it; and the hilla of Pennsylvania poured out rivers of oil and kerosouo illumined tho nations. But tho oil wells began to fail, and thon the electric light cornea forth to turn night into day. So all ovents aro woven together and tho world is maRniiicontly governed, because it io divinoly governed.

Wo criticise things and think tho divino machinery is going wrong, and put our fingers amid the wheels only to got them crashed. But, say, hands off I Things aro coming out gloriously. Cornelius may bo in Cioaarea, and Peter in Joppa, but their dreams meet. It is ono hand that is managing tho world, and that ia God's hand; and ono mind that is planning all things for good, and that is God's mind; and one heart that Is filled with love and pardon and sympathy, and that is God's heart. Have faith in Him.

Fret about nothing. Things are not at Ioobo ends. There aro no acei donta. All will come out right in four history and in tho world. Ab you are waking froni one dream upstairs, an explanatory dream will be knocking at the gate downstairs.

Standing here in Jopp'a, I remember that where wo this rnorning disembarked the prophet Jonah ombarkod. For tho first timo in my life I fully understand that Btory. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but the j'rophet declined that call and camo horo to Joppa.

WARDEN 1JRUSH O.V PRISON DISCIPLINE. An Isitcrostiiis' ICopsrc Presented RcCorc the Ginciuuati Prison Congress. Cincinnati, Soptombor 20. Agent and Warden A. A.

Brush, of Sing Sing prison, New York, presented a paper before tho National priaon congress to day, which contained very many interesting statistics. The themo dis cussod waa "Prison Discipline." Out of an ag gregato of 1,380 prisoners, 375 woro foreign born; 111 coming from Ireland and 111 from Germany, Austria and Holland. There aro 30 Italians, nearly all for crimes against tho poreon, and nearly 100 Hebrews, nearly all for crimes against proporty. 1,208 aro white, 103 black and 2 Chinese. Ouly 120 prisonora are un'odu catod; 1,243 have a common school education, 13 an academic and 0 a collegiate oducation.

Of the 1,383 prisoners, 1,050 are there for the first time, showing that tho population of prisons is not by anj" means composed of old offenders. Warden Brush con8iders work a main essential to prison discipline. Upon this point ho said: Tho first thing noceaaary to form a discipline among prisioners ia work hard work work just tho aamo as is done outside; work in which the prisoner can see something crow under hiB hands, and form a perfect artiole as tho production of hia labor. I consider that work which will not do this is no hotter than idleness. It is nocossary that ho should have work to give him habits of industry, to give him muscles and a Btrong, healthy body, so that whon he in reloaaod from priaon he haa a fair chanco to earn his living at a trade.

When you have dono this for tho prisoner, yon havo doue much toward bringing him into a stato of discipline whilo in priaon and to form his charactor for hia battle with lifo when ho is released from prison. I consider labor tho groundwork of any prison disciplino which Bhall bo of benefit to tho prisoner. Aa tho larger proportion of our inmates aro young men, it is very important that these young men should he trained in habits of industry, and charaoter formed, so that their reformation upon discharge is not only possiblo but probable. To all humane people it ia horrible to think of looking np young men in idloness from ton to two years and then turning tbom out upon society to again roturn to evil courses and again to prison. It seems to me that I well characterize this, when I aay that it is a crimo against the prisoner and a wrong to society.

The labor men and in fact many theorists upon prison matters claim that labor of prisouoiu means competition with free labor. Let me say right hero that whatever the competition may bo, tho prisoner haa tho right of competition. As one of the most prominent prison writers of England Baid: "Every prisoner haa a right to a fair sharo of competition with freo labor. He had a right to it beforo he became a prisoner, aud when iu prison the taxpayora, who support him, have additional olaim upon his labor. Aud further considering tho previous neglected training of many criminals, it is duo to them that thoy Bhowld be instructed in soma means of livelihood, if possible, when thoy come under detention.

It is those unjust tyrants, the Hellish demagogues, that are ao apt to be the worat of all despots, who deny or opposo these natural and moderate rights of prisoners and of thoir tax paying supportors." It seems absurd for any ono to arguo, that the criminal classes should bo permitted to live in idleness at tho oxpense of tho wago earners and tax payers. It is indeed a curious theory that would remove tho ourse "that man should earn his bread by the sweat of his brow" from the criminal and keep it in foroo for tho honot man. Mon in f'rieon must havo work, to have discipline, and as have said previously, juBt suoh work as peoplo are engaged in ontside of priaonB. Their hoalth deponds upon it, their reason depends upon it, and their future welfare in society and society itself dopehda upon it. Let me impress upon yon hero tho neoessity of being careful and not to bo deceived by the cant and talk of labor domagogues and reformers.

They will toll you iu great earnoatneaa that the financial aspect of prison ia of no consequence. That tho state can afford to spend millions in reforming the prisoners, but lot mo toll you that you cannot roform yonr prisoners without work and that tho two reform and labor must of necesaity go hand in hand. A prison cannot bo reformatory without being self sustaining, if honestly managed. If thoao irten aro worked tho Bame as they are worked outside, for th5 purpose of reforniation, and givinc them a chance in lifo, their work: will nocesaarily mako a finauoial ancoess of tho prisons, and per, form the double offico of reforming the prisoners end supporting the prisons.

Vincent Do Panl'B chnrch held a meeting laat evening in Academy hall, opposite tho odifico on North Sixth street, to make arraugemonta for tho jubilee parade Commissioner Francis Nolan presided and James S. Slavin recorded. Chairman Nolan in opening the meeting said that ho expected a much lamer attendance in a great parish like theirs. All they asked waB that the men como to the meetings and have their names enrolled. Many persons wero under the impression that if they oarao they would bo expected to subscribe money, but Bitch was not the case.

Tho only collection taken np would bo an envelope one in the churoh nest Sunday. About ono hundred and fifty men had their names enrolled, making nearly eight hundred and fifty in all. Mr. Nolan aaid that thoy had boon considering tho advisability of abandoning the idea of torches and substituting calcium lights, but they arrived at tho conclusion that thoy Bbonld have torohea and calcium lights. Ho thought it would bo well for each district in tho parish to hold a meeting and elect officers.

Tho evening of the parade, ho Baid, thoy would form on Bedford aveuuo and intersecting streets and move ten files front. He expeoted to have fifteen hundred men at the meeting next Tuoaday. Acting Pastor John Woods responded to a call for a few remarks. He said among other things that tho attendance should havo been larger, and advised each man present to bring at least four or iivo of his neighbors with him to tho next meeting. Tho Hibernians nnd another organization, which would march as distinct bodies, he said, would draw largely from tho ranks in tho parish.

Catholics had now a good opportunity of showing themselves in this city nnd incidentally tho spread of Catholicity iu tha country. Ho had told them at the maaaeB what Bishop Lough lin had done for their religion in thedioceso, and it waa but a fitting return that this should bo a great and grand parade, which would mako overy Catholic feel proud that he belonged to tha ancient faith. It waa to bo a parade in which peoolo of all nationalities would participate. St. Vincent do Paul's parish should nuke such a ahowing that as it passed along in tho procession the people would recognize it as the greatest one in tho diocese.

The Chapin club handed in 100 names; the M. G. FlanuK'an, 75; the Jamea F. Lennox, 30, and P. J.
