M. Bushwiclc Avenue Congregational Society Hears Official Reports. The annual meeting of the Bushwlck avenue Congregational church, Bushw'lck avenue and Cornelia street, was held in the church parlor last evening. The Rev. Charles W.

King, the pastor, acted as moderator. In opening tho I meeting the Rev. Mr. King said that within the past year the church had Improved finan clally, spiritually and socially. T.

Willard Douglass, clerk of the church, read the mln i utes of last meeting and then the report of the standing committee, which contained the i following: i The commencement of the year found us wor. Rhlplns In eo atlve hall, looking forward with anxiety to the completion of our new church building. Our occupation of Co operative for our Sunday school services continued up to May 1. The attendance was very encouraging and much spiritual work was done by our jrantor. The establishment of the readlntr room and trvmnasium In the parish house, under the auspices of the Younp Men's auxiliary has proved a success and they are now in a flourishing condition.

Our membership I has shown a net gain of sixty seven. The figures i on January this year were: Male members, SS: female. 200; total. 2SS. E.

H. Weed, president of the board of trustees, read the trustees' report. It con talned this passage: In the arrangement providing $30,000 for the erection of this new building no provision was made for its furnishing and the will of our old memher and Adrian M. Puydam. in which he bequeathed to the church the sum of 510.000 being yet In litigation, another problem that met the trustees was the raising of money for necessairy furnishings.

Our counsel, Mr. Graves, having secured from contestants a paper waiving congest of the bequest In our behalf, we were able to a limited extent to anticipate it by a trustees' note for S3.S0V discounted bv the Peo ple's bank lust May. Front money thus raised we paid tor carpets, cluirch sittings, chairs tor Sunday school and weeKlv meetings and hvmn books and were able to Inclose the whole of the property with an iron fence. The uncertainty as to when we shall receive our ten thousand dollar bequest and our resoecL for and belief in the scruples of Air. Suydani as to church debts has prevented the purchase of a pipe organ.

The fact inat mere are yet no indications of a decision from the court of anneals further lustlfles thi declinatlon of the trustees to assume additional nnanelul obligations. Treasurer Thomas A.

MB. RIDDLE IN "WILLIAM The Play Adequately Interpreted With the Aid of Rossini's Music. Mr. George Riddle began his usual winter course of readings under the auspices of the Brooklyn institute in Association hall yesterday afternoon. There was a good sized audience present and the welcome extended to tho reader was as cordial as ever.

Mr. Kiddle had chosen the "William Tell" of James Sheridan Knowlos for his opening piece. It is a play hardly suitable for the modern stage, but Its spirit and sentiment fit admirably Into Mr. Riddle's scheme. In his hands the characters were nicely differentiated; the manful Tell, his boy and devoted wife, the tyrant Gesier.

Sarnem. cad Meletal and Verner each received sympathetic and adequate treatment. Not less successful was Mr. Riddle in realizing the scenes amid which these mountain fork lived and worked. The incongruities of the declamations put into the mouth the Swiss peasant were forgotten under tho spell of his romance, while tho climaxes of the play revealed a power of which few readers save Mr.

Riddle are capable. The performance opened with the delightful overture written by Rossiini to the op ra of the same name. The first scene was laid in Tell's cottage in tho Alps, wherein is disclosed the purpose of the brave Swiss to gather the mountaineers against Gesler. The orchestral accompaniment lent charm both to this and the succeeding acts. "William Tei'I" will be repeated to night Next week Mr.

Riddle will read BrowninVs "In a Balcony" and Sheridan's "School fcr Scandal." EDITOR WATTERSON'S LECTURE To Speak on "Money nnci Morals" Thursday Evening.

During the year the metallic circuit system has been completed. Mr. Mason has this' to say about the efficiency of the work done by It: In consequence of the Introduction of the electric street car (trolley) system on the surface roads, throughout the city me single wire servic in connection with the telopihone svsrtem of this department was seriously Impaired; it therefore became necessary to reconstruct our and substitute metallic conduits In place of ground circuits. This change Is now complete and the metal. ic circuits are now working in a highlv satisfactory manner.

Description of a Cyclone. Forecaster B. B.

Dunn, whose weather predictions for this section of the country have made him familiar to the citizens of both cities, gave an extremely interesting lecture last night at the Union League club. His topic was "Mysteries of the Weather Explained." The lecture was one of a series arranged for the edification of the club members by Chairman William B. Fuller of the entertainment committee, and in spite of the storm, which, by the way, was foretold in Farmer Dunn's daily report, the handsome parlors of tho club were filled with club members and their women friends. The lecture was Illustrated by numerous stereopticon views and Forecaster Dunn held the attention of his audience closely. A number of maps and charts were used to illustrate the weather prophet's remarks, which were entirely confined to the weather conditions of tho United States.

The speaker explained how the work of forecasting was conducted in the local weather department and told of tho uses of the many delicate instruments to be found there. The two principal storm belts were pointed out and Forecaster Dunn told how the old direction cf the storms over the nocky mountains from the Pacific coast and thence north over the great lakes had been changed by the irrigation of from four hundred to fiVe'h'iiadred million acres of what was formerly arid Mand. The speaker said that all our storms came from the Pacific coast. Tho latter half of the lecture was devoted to a description of the recent St. Louis cyclone, which caused such great devastation in that city.

The origin and course of the cyclone were explained and followed by Mr. Dunn, who told how the swiftly moving wlnda wrecked one whole section of the city. A number of views were shown of the destruc tion caused in St. Louis by the cyclone and the audience was visibly impressed by the immense power and velocity of the wind, which leveled hundreds of substantial and solid buildings. At the conclusion of the lecture Forecaster Dunn was heartily applauded and the audience adjourned to the diningrooin, where a supper was served.

"TRISTAN AND ISOLDE." The Wagnerian star was again in the ascendant last night at the opera when "Tristan and Isolde" to the master's admirers and adherents his most inspired and convincing work and to the Philistines a special stumbling block and misery was presented for the first time this season. The occasion drew forth a large and brilliant audience, which behaved with discretion, sat quietly through the acts and burst into rapturous applause at each fall of the curtain. The cast differed in several roles from that of last year. The Isolde could scarcely be considered a change for the better, although It may be said Mme. Lit vinne proved much more satisfactory than her appearance as Bruennhilde gave any reason to expect.

She had plenty of voice and keeps with praiseworthy precision op the key, but her upper notes were shrill and marred by an unwelcome vibrato. She acts with understanding and sometimes with force, but she does not seem to be able to make her voice responded to shades of feeling, and the nuances of expression were in some instances lacking the general impression was pleasing. Jean de Reszke's Tristan was a superb impersonation, given with a wealth of vocal beauty and histrionic force which must prove an incentive to those who work with him. His labors in the field or Wagnerian music dramas do not seem to have injured his voice, which never sounded more exquisite than in the love duet last night, and his acting of the part seems to have broadened with his further advance into the same sort of work. de Rsszke's King Mark was a splendid example of correct dramatic declamation.

The Brangaene was ably sung and acted by Mile. Olitzka. and she gave tho song Trom the watch tower with well sustained tone. Mr. Blspham's Kur wenal may easily be called the best seen in years.

He has the voice and the histrionic ability which the part so strongly calls for and which it so seldom secures. He made a dignified and pathetic figure of the old retainer. The orchestra was in splendid form and Mr. Seidl conducted with his usual authority and vigor. He was repeatedly called before the footlights with the other artists.

Melba will sing to night in "Romeo and Juliet." IN THE STATE DEPARTMENTS. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, N.

Franklin'a Fac simile of a famous letter, reproduced la to unzow's Eagle. Adv. Story of $50,000 That Went Astray. An Historic Cab Ride in Which the Perennial Michael J. Dady Bloomed and Wilted John Y.

MoKane's Spartan Like Integrity. Here is an interesting story concerning James G. Blaine which has been circulating among the Republican politicians of this city, but has not heretofore appeared In print. The etory in questions deals with a scheme, which, if carried into execution, might have resulted in the election of Blaine to the presidency! im 1888 and "then agin moutn't," as they say In Kalamazoo. The story comes to the writer of this column second hand from its author and as related by my informant a prominent Republican Is as follows: "Didn't you ever hear Dady tell how Blaine was beat? No? Well, Its a rich story.

and it would be a great treat to hear him tell it. illustrated with verbal fireworks; Now, I won't vouch for the truth of the story, but I will say that Dady has told the story so often that I am sure he really believes It to be true. The story generally goes with another which he tells about John Y. McKane's refusal to accept a bribe of 550,000." "A bribe for what?" "It seeme, according to the story, that cer tain men were anxious to get McKane's consent to run a surface raijroad on Ocean avenue. One of the men called on McKane at police headquarters, entered the chief's room; locked the door, put the key in his pocket then sat down and spread fifty one thousand dollar bills, on the table before McKane and said: 'Here's $50,000 fpr you if you will get consent for us to run a read on Ocean Then McKane, according to Dady, got up and said: 'Put that money in your pocket and get out or here right And the man got up and walked out in a hurry.

Torn Donnelly made the remark when he heard the story that'the man who offered the $50,000 must have gone tnrough the keyhole, for the story opened with the key of a locked door in the would be briber's pocket. But the story is undoubtedly true, for McKane was continually refusing to accept $50, 000 bribes; everybody. knows that he was Just that sort of a man." "Tell the story of Blaine's defeat." My informant leaned back In his chair and smilingly began. "According to Dady's story. Jay Gould was very anxious that Blaine should be elected, and some of the boys, John J.

O'Brien, Al Daggett, M. J. Dady and others got on to the fact. The next thing to do was to connect with Gould and get some of his stun for use in the good work of electing Blaine or for some other purpose. Dady and Daggett decided to call upon Gould.

About the same time Johnny O'Brien and a friend decided to call, also. You see money was greatly needed for use In that campaign and for other purposes, perhaps." "Why needed?" "Why, we didn't have money to man the polls with. We didn't have money enough to send out the electoral ticket ittihatuiyear. The party was hard up in King3 county that year. But let me get back to the Jay Gould end of it.

According to Dady's story he and Al Daggett Jumped into a cab Dady always jumps into a cab and they drove over to the building In which Jay Gould had his office. When they drew up In front of the building there stood another cab and Johnny O'Brien and a friend were just getting out. They had a little talk, explaining that they had come over to see Jay, and at that O'Brien said: 'Say, we are here to meet Gould according to appointment. It vroa'i take us but a few minutes to get through with him. Walt till we come out before you go "And the Brooklyn innocents waited," said my informant, with a broad smile.

"Presently out comes O'Brien and his friend in a great hurry. They hurried Into their cab and were driven away in a hurry. Then, according to Dady's story, he and Daggett broke in on Gould and they got it." Here my informant, ceased speaking and Indulged 'In a laugh which shook his frail body and pumped the blood Into the little man's thin face until it took on the hue of apoplexy. "They got what?" "Why, the frappe the marble heart the frozen hand," exclaimed my informant, still struggling in a convulsion of merriment. "You see, it was this way: O'Brien get in first and, according to Dady, got the money.

There was nothing left for Daggett and Dady but ice ice in large chunks and ice 152 degrees below zero in temperature." "That story would indicate that Dady and Daggett were beaten not Blaine," I ventured to suggest. "The beating of Blaine comes in another chapter," said my informant. "It seems that two men, of course not Dady and Daggett, had made arrangements for Democratic assistance. According to Dady's story, four Democratic leaders of this city were waiting In the Clarendon hotel while Gould was handing over his stufT. These men were to get each for helping Blaine in their districts.

And a certain county clerk, not a clerk of Kings county, was to cook up the returns in Blaine's Interest, and in return was to got a moderate amount of money and a post tradership from Blaine. This county clerk had the consumntion and wanted to go West. Of course none of these Democrats got what they expected and that is why Blaine got beat according to Dady's story." "Did Dady grieve much?" "I guess ho did not feel as bad as some others. For instance, he said that at 12 o'clock on election night Steve Elkins would have siven $100,000 to elect Blaine. When I heard that end of it I wondered why Dady did not think of the county clerk who had the consumption aud wanted a post tradership.

There was plenty of time for him to get his fine work in, and he might have made time for $100,000." "Do you believe the story?" "Ah, that is another story, as my friend Kipling would say," and my informant smiled harder than ever. MUL. TENANTS AROUSED BY FIRE.

Tho coming examinations will be the most important given for a number of years, as appointments will be made to fill all vacancies in the branches of the government which have been lately included within the classified service, and which embrace more than 31,000 positions. Brookiynites desiring to enter the civil ser vic may take an examination at New York city on March 24. Examinations wi.l also be held ait Albany, April 14; Rochester, April 16, and at Elmira, April 19.

At these places examinations will take place for the following positions: Departmental service, clerk copyist, messenger, messenger boy, modern languages, proof reading, raf.way mail clerk, stenography, stock examining, tagger, typewriter, watchman, blacksmith, carpenter, cabinetmaker, decorator, electrician, elevator conductor, engineer, fireman, general mechanic, janitor, leather worker, locksmith, machinist, map printer, mason, model repairer, painter, sallmaker, sawyer, skilled laborer, steam fitter, stone' cutter, tailor, teamster, wheelwright and for other mechanical trades.

This is one' of the longest lists of posi'tlons to be filled ever advertised, by the civil service commission, and a large number of applicants is looked for. For the information of persons desirlnc to know the full scope of the civil service com mission, a list of positions which may be tilled witnout examination has been prepared They are as follows: Any person in the mili tary or naval service of the United States who is, detailed for the performance of civil duties; any person employed in a foreign country under the state department, or tem porarily employed in a confidential capacity in a foreign country; any position whose duties are of a quasi military or quasi naval character and for the performance of whose duties a person is enlisted for a.

term of years; private secretaries or confidential clerks (not exceeding two) to tho President or to the head of each of the eight executive departments; Indians employed in the Indian service at large (except those employed as superintendents); teachers and physicians: at torneys or assistant attorneys in any depart ment whoso main duUes are connected with the management of cases in court; one cash ier in each customs district; one chief or principal deputy or assistant collector in each customs district whose employes number as many as 150; one assistant postmaster, or chief assistant to the postmaster, of whatever designation, at each post office: one cashier of each first class post office when employed under the roster title of cashier only; one employe in each 'internal revenue district, who shall act as cashier or chief deputy or assistant, collector, as. may be determined by. the treasury department. This list gives in a clear form the amount of patronage that will be at the disposal of the incoming administration. The civil serv ico commission has also prepared, for the first time, a detailed list of the branches of the executive departments that have been included in the recent extension of the classified service.

This is made to cover draftsmen under the bureau of construction and repair of the navy department, cadets in the revenue cutter service; marine hospital service; light house Service, navy yards, pension agencies, mints, assay offices and sub treasuries, post office inspectors, secret service 'A the treasury, life saving service, government hospitals Tor the insane, and certain other positions not yet classified. The commission is now framing the questions to be asked of applicants for the various positions. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in this as the commissioners have had nothing to guide them in this important work except information furnished by the various departments having charge cf the offices to be filled. All clerical positions such as clerk copyist, stenographer, bookkeeper, at the navy yards will be filled by certification from registers, and no special examinations for these positions will be held. Trade positions and skilled laborer positions will be filled by a system of registration, which is now in vogue.

This will not change the present method of making these appointments at the Brooklyn and other navy yards. This is at present under the charge of a board of labor employment at each navy yard, and it has been decided that this system cannot be improved upon. Examinations will be held for positions of mechanic in the engineer department at large.

"Stolen Kisses," a London Work, Presented at the Criterion Theater A Remarkably Even Production. Th9 Criterion theater was crowded last evening with the friends and members of the Booth Dramatic society at the presentation oi the three act comedy of "Stolen Kisses," by Paul Merri'tt.

It was a play entirely new in this country. In London it enjoyed a long run. In the hands of the dramatic corps of tho Booth the comedy wa3 presented with vivacity and a true appreciation of every line. To several of the players parts were allotted that had net hitherto been attempted by them and in almost every respect the result of the experiment was successful. The play begins on a low key and increases constantly in interest to the climax at the end of the third act, and so cleverly Is the work of the playwright done that the unraveling of the skein of the story Is quite impossible to be anticipated.

The first act finds at home Mrs. Jaukins, who lets lodgings in Clerkenville. London, and with her a3 lodgers are Tom Spirit and his pretty daughter. Cherry. The Spirits are very poor and Cherry does copying to support her father and herself.

Enters Viscount Trangmar. for whom Tom had been a valet many years before. They exchange life histories. Tom tells how he has been in a circus and how his own brother, Walter, has been his companion, until Tom haa eloped with Walter's sweetheart and married her. Years ago she died, leaving Cherry.

Meanwhile Walter has become very wealthy in hanking. Tho viscount tells how he has risen to be a viscount and how has one young son. the Hon. Felix Free mantle. The viscount gives 10 to Tom.

on the pretense of paying an old debt, and Tom. declares that for this kindness he will do anything to serve his old master. After the viscount leaves the room enters Fred Gay, who gets Tom's promise that he will favor Gay's suit for Cherry's hand. Subsequently Free mantle, under an assumed name, eaters as an old friend and secretly accepted lover of Cherry. They indulge in stolen kisses.

When the viscount returns young Freemantls goes and the viscount privately informs Tom of the son's identity. Tom mistrusts Freemantle's motives and in his denunciation of Freemantle tho curtain falls. In the second act Tom. who has accepted a place as boatman cn his brother's estate on the Thames river, is discovered with his daughter a resort near his home. The mutual love of Cherry and Freemantle and of Gay and Jenny Temple, daughter of Walter, develops.

Freemantle arrives from London with a letter written by his father, giving consent to the match. Tom gives up his daughter. Presently arrives the viscoufit" who says the consent was wrung from him, antl Lha: he intended to forestall its delivery. Learning that Freemantle has already arrived with 1: tho viscount demands that Tom shall keep his promise to aid him. the reason for tho vLsc juik's anxiety for marriage cf Freemantle to Jenny being that Temple has titles to ail his property that had been gambled away.

Tom liis promise and separates thp pair. In tho third act. in Walter's country he use, It is revealed that Walter has learned that Cherry and Freeniatulf are in iove and he tells Tom to leave bis employ and take Cherry away. Tom recalls their boyhood days in a passage, rather eloquent for a v.tiet, and Walter scornfully tells Tom tha: If he fan give back to him tho love of Cherry' mother, ail will be forgiven. Tlien Tom produces a letter written by his wife on her death bed and hands to Walter, who bids, Tom read it.

The lettor be, Walter's forgiveness and say the writer always loved Walter, while she nr ver loved Torn. Walter's r.tmise is then fulfilled and consents to the marriage as desired, while he becomes reconciled to Torn. The viscr.unt enters in time to see Tom up tbe paper that gave Walter possession cf the vis. vv.snt'B property. J.

U. Blanehileld was dignified and entirely satisfactory as the Viacjunt. Francis Kelly I as Freemantle gave a faithful presentation of a Ijver. but Mr. Kelly strongest parts aro not those of an ardent woeer.

The audience, from long observation of him. is ied to anticipate continually that he is going to say cr do pome thing funny. That is not Mr. Kelly's fault, but it is his misfortune. Mr.

De Lovante made a very high and haughty villain, if such his part, could be termed: for in this pretty remedy there is really no i fierce villain. Tho stem an i awful visage of tin; cruel parent and hard man of the world I was well feigned by him, and his thawing la I the, third act was easily and naturally done. On W. J. McCahill of the heavy work I cf the evening devolved, and so well did he perform his part that he applause more than once.

In the scene where he re called to Walter their early boyhood ays. Mr. McCahill won a spontaneous and hearty tribute. It is questionable whether he shculd have turned his back to the audience at the ia. when he learns that his wife has never loved him.

Some persons tittered to wbcm I it did occur, probably, that this act waa intended represent excessive emotion. It is a questionable act. because the spectators want to enjjy the suffering of tho actor and they feel defrauded if they cannot share it. I Harry Kcpke had not a great deal to do as Gay. but what he did was done well and as easily as a veteran actor.

Mrs. Florence M. King showed a new not in her repertoire in the part of Cherry Spirit. She was not only entertaining when sho waa talking, but her stage business was care fully and artfully worked. The part is by no means easy one to play and Mrs.

King made the most cf it. Miss Rose Hlanchlield was admirably suited t'1 'tbo part of Jenny Temple. There was a touch of feminine extravagance in her lovo for Gay and his abominable cornet that was delicious and her description of his serenade under her window in the rain was told with, i an archness and that is indescrib able. She was. too, at her best In the scen where she and Freemantle ccme to en under standing.

Miss May Farley was wonderfully droll as Mrs. Jaukins. Her uuUaproplsms were deliv i red with perfect, uncr.sciousness. A laugh i met her every appearance. Tho play was prettily and appropriately.

staged, the ma srer of properties being A. i E. C'iaus, and tho stage manager. Francis Kelly. Professor Lambert's orchestra Dlaved an overture by Boettger and selections from Kerker and Beyer.

The play will probably the last tho Booth Dramatic society will play for soma time at the Criterion theater as the house will open with a vaudeville performance next Monday night.
