Vitee, 20 Last 23d N. V. city, TO CURE SPOTTED FEVER. Chicago Doctor Tells How Disease Can Be Prevented. Chicago.

April 1-A preventive of cerebro spinal meningitis, "spotted fever." the dread plague which is ravaging New York and Eastern cities, and from which at least one death. that of an 8-year-old girl, cecurred in Chicago yesterday, has been suggested by Dr. W. J. Class of the Health Department.

An atomizer, a litile carbolic acid, and wator, the safeguards. "The disease is contracted through the throat." said Dr. 38. While the most reliable preventive consists in staying away trom infected places, and in perfect cleanliness, the disinfection of the air passages should help to ward off the disease. Use an atomizer and spray the nasal passages and throat with water containing 1 per cent.

of carbolic acid. The disease not as contagious as scarlet fever. It beeing with a severe headache and vomiting. I do not believe that the disease will become dangerous in Chicago." HORSE AND WAGON STOLEN. Floral Park Man Robbed While in a Jamaica Market.

(Special to the Eagle.) Jamalca, L. April 1-Last night as Mr. and Mrs. John H. Herbert of Floral Park were in Manhattan Market, on Fulton street, this place, some one untied their horse and drove off with the turnout--a bay mare, 141 hands high, and a.

light business wagon. He reported the occurrence to the police, who at once sent out an alarm in all directions. Parties who were on the street in the neighborhood say they saw a man untie the horse, into the wagon, turn about and drive cast, as Mr. Herbert would be apt do. VIRGINIAN'S RECORD.

Monster Meetings to Be Held by Twenty-two Districts of Borough. SOME IMMENSE GATHERINGS. In First Reformed, Fifty -one Congregations Will Assemble at 3 o'Clock This Afternoon. Two hundred and filty churches of lyn. which have been divided twentytwo districts, will meet at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon for a season of united prayer.

fu accordance with the suggestion of coma mittee appointed by a conference of ministers two weeks ago, of which the Rev. Dr. John F. Carson, pastor the Contral Presbyterian Church. way chosen chairman, and the Rev.

E. L. Tibbats, the Homeerest Preebyterian Church, secretary. The division the districts include Greenpoint. Williamsburg, the Navy Yard, the Heights, Bushwick, East New York.

Saratoga section. Bedford, Hill section. Carroll Park. Slope: 9t. Mark's, Vanderveer Park.

Prospect Park. Homecrest, Bensonhurst, South Brooklyn. Borough Park, Bay Ridge, Canarsie. In each of these districts the churches ineluded within the territory will meet in a church centrally located, with one or two leaders, but it has been impossible to get the of churches in full, because come of the pastors or leaders have failed to send the names in to the secretary. There will ho only one meeting to be held at a different hour from the rest.

and that is the one in the Church of the Pilgrims, Henry and Reusen streets, which will meet AL 5 o'clock. All the churches 011 the Heights will join, and all the pastors will be in attendence. The meeting, which will take place in the largest number of churches is to be held ill the Reformed Church. Seventh avenue First, Carroll street, where representatives ol fifty- one congregations will assemble. The leader will be the Rev.

Dr. James M. Patrar. The meeting in the Puritan Congregational Church. Marcy and Lafayette aveHues, is an important one, twenty-one churches joining with Dr.

Lewis Ray Foote in charge for forty-five minutes and the Rev. William White for the other three-quarters of 11 hour. The leaders of the different districts have sent out letters, asking the pastors of the territory to join, and the responge has been quite general. There is no definite organization in regard to the work and no outside help has been called in. The pastors are arranging for future meetings to be held.

During next week evangelistic services will be generally held, but the pastors of the various churches are left free to hold them at such times as best suits them, and it is quite probable that mans union services will be arranged. It has been suggested that a meeting for prayer and inspiration be held in the Central Presbyterian Church on Thursday, April 13, with the object of bringing together the young people of the various organizations. and this will be carried out, with the Rev. E. L.

Tibbals, one of the younger pastors of the borough, in charge. It wag hoped to get the Rev. John Howard Melish, of the Church of the Holy Trinity, to deliver an address, but his engagements to speak elsewhere prevent him from doing so. The Rev. Richard Hartley, who was a witness of much of the enthusiasm in Wales during the revival in that country, and who but recently returned.

will speak. Other meetings to be held will begin on Monday, April 9, and continue for two weeks. There will be noon -day services in the rooms of the Young Men's Christian A830- ciation, 502 Fulton street, to be led each day by one of the pastors of the borough. These meetings are intended primarily for Christians, but the evangelistic idea will not be lost sight of. This is all in preparation for still more extensive work in the fall, when still greater interest is looked for.

Washington Gladden Hits Back at Standard Oil in Scathing Argument. Columbus, 0., April 1-Dr. Washington Gladden, moderator of the General Council of the Gongregational Churches of the United States, gave out the following reply to the statement of H. H. Rogers, vice presidenci of the Standard Oil Company: "Mr.

Rogers alleges that the vast sums extorted in rebates by the Standard Oil Compony from its competitors were 'legally' taken, because no law exactly forbade them. What I said was that the money was "flagitiously' acquired. To coerce the railroads into an arrangement by which it received a large rebate, not only 011 its own oil, but all the oil sent by its competitors; to force the railways to roD its competitors for its enrichment, was, I submit, a flagitious policy, a shameful policy. If there was 110 law at that time by which that particular kind of robbery could be punished, the robbery was 110 less flagrant and outrageous. It was by this means that this enormous power was created.

all not a lawyer, but I should think it altogether possible that even under the common law, such all iniquity am might have been punished. Railways which are chartered under public law, muat be required to render to all the people an equal service. If stich use of them as was made by the standard Oil Company could not be punished QUI legal machinery would be very defective. "The denial that rebates have been torted since the Interstate Commerce law was passed is not credible. I know from statements made to myself by parties implicated that such rebates have been exacted by other corporations.

I doubt if the Standard Oil Company is more virtuous than the rest. But it is true that it has now gained a power la the classification and ecntrol of rates which make it unnecessary to use the system of rebates. "Some of the apologists of the trust are 11O asserting that the money now under discussion has been legally acquired. 'Legally" says a New York newspaper, 'there is no question that the money is Mr. Rockefeller's to If there is no such question why is the United States Government 1 now investigating the operation of the Standis ard Oil Company? It is not the morals of that company into which the government is looking: it is the legality of its practices.

Some of us think that if legality is the only text we have to apply to such transactions, it might be as well to wait and see whether they are found to be within the law." Later Dr. Gladden says: "Mr. Rogers says I would not trust the a Ten Commandments for ten days with the deacons of my church, because they would eurely break come of them and bend others. I surely would not. I hope that these commandments ere in stronger power than the deacons of any chuch, a power in which they will not be twisted for the benefit of Mr.

Rogers of any one else. "Mr. Rogers says that before Mr. Lincoln's emancipation proclamation slavery was legal in certain sections. But it was Just as much an abomination and a curse in those regions as in the regions where it was abolished.

The rebates of the Standard Oil Company Were just as outrageous before the law was passed forbidding them as they were afterto ward, and the method by which under the law the Standard Oil Company is now overpowering and oppressing its competitors are just as wrongful 30 were the rebates. The position that wrongdoing is to be condoned so long as it is done under cover of laws, or of by evasion of the law, is one that Christian ministers or minionary societies ought not to 8 PER CENT. OF SALARIES WILL COVER PENSIONS. Plea of 6,000 City Employes Law Adding $50,000 a Year to Their Fund. ADVANTAGE TO CITY CLAIMED.

It Is Said Earlier Retirements of WornOut Men Will Improve the Public Service. Edward Kenny, of the New Yorks Supreme Court: Joseph Haag, chief accountant. Department of Finance; William H. Jasper, secretary of the Board of Assessors: Francis It. Clair, auditor in the Department of Finance, and John Timmerman, city paymaster, yesterday thade an authorized statemIen 011 behalf of those futerested in the city employes retirement bill, now before the Legislature, defining the position of the employes, as follows: provisions of this bill have been persistently misrepresented by agents of certain organizations professing to be in favor of good government and civil service reform, who have also endeavored to make it appear that it is a measure to pension all elty ployes at the expense of the taxpayers.

"The bill does not aim to pension all city employes as alleged. It seeks the sanction of law to make effective an agreement on the part of employes of the city, not now provided for by existing retirement funds, having for its object the ultimate retirement 0. their fellow- workers who become Incapacitated. Eliminadng from consideration those not under steady employment, the eity has upon its payrolls about 32,000 employes. UL jinis number more than 26,000 are already covered by established retirement funds.

this leaves approximately 6,000 to be aLfected by this act. Eighteen thousand of the employes who are protected by the teachers, Health Department and college retirement funds contribute nothing whatever from their salaries to these funds, the city maintaining them wholly out of public moneys. The other 9.500, representing the Police Department, contribute only 4 per cent, of their salaries. This bill provides for an average annual contribution of 3 per cent. of salaries, which is largely in excess of the percentage contributed by the employes of any private or public corporation to similar funds.

"The three largest of the established tirement funds, namely: The Teachers, FireILen and Police, receive together out of the city's excise revenues the sum of $1.000.000 annually. This act authorizes the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to appropriate for the proposed fund from the same revenues an amount not exceeding 1 per or about $50,000 in any one year. This feature of the bill is designed to express the city's encouragement of the establishment of this fund and as the appropriation can only be made upon a two-thirds vote of the said board, which is composed of the highest elective officers of the municipality, charged with the responsibility of protecting the city's revenues and regulating its expenditures, there is no danger whatever of all abuse of this prerogative, "A canvass made shows a universal desire on the part of those affected by the bill to participate in the fund. It also shows that the average annual income to the fund from the contributions will be about 000. which is six times the sum the Board of Estimate and Apportionment is restricted to appropriate for the fund in any one year.

The same canvass also indicates that the contributions from the participants will be more than sufficient to provide for the obligations of the fund. so that the 'excise revenues, if appropriated, could be set aside 86 a surplus or reserve to most unforeseen emergencies. "In order, however, to determine from scientific standpoint if the fund would be self-supporting, a well- known firm of actuaries were requested to make a computation showing the operation of the fund when applied to a large number of employes affected by the bill who furnished data necessary for the purpose. "The actuaries calculations prove that the average annual contributions of 3 per cent. of salaries.

as provided by the bill. will be more than sufficient to meet all annuity payments. "Further proof of the adequacy of 3 per cent. of salaries 10 provide for such annuities in shown in the fact that 2.71 per cent. of salaries paid to school teachers durinz the past four years would have been sufficient to meet the annuities paid to retired teachers during that time, and that 1.92 per cent.

of salaries of Health Department em ployes would have met that department's annuities for the same period. "In conclusion, as the city's employes are disposed to assume an obligation which will relieve the service of those 110 longer able to perform their duties in a satisfactory manner, tiereby improving the service and benefting the taxpavers, the propositions ought to command the earnest support of every taxpayer and the unqualified approval of organizations or bodies aiming to improve and extend the civil service system." PEACE IN LABOR FIELD. Conference Between Employers and Employed an Insurance Against Trouble. At a conference between the representatires of the various labor organizations engaged in the building trades here and a committee from the Employers League. held yesterday, the basis for an amicable adjustn.ent of all labor troubles here wae agreed to.

A. E. PAYNE IS HOME: THERE'LL BE NO DIVORCE. Riverhead Woman Who Went to South Dakota Last Fall Has Returned. CAUSE OF TROUBLE UNKNOWN.

All She or Her Husband Will Say Is That They Are Happy Now and Divorce Suit Is Of. Riverbead. L. April 1-Mirs. Florence Elizabeth Payne, wife of Dr.

Albert E. Payne, a prominent young physician of this place, who went to South Dakota on November 28, 1904, intending, it was given out. to obtain a residence and sue for a divorce from her husband, returned to this place last night in company with Dr. Payne, who went to Manhattan to meet her. Mrs.

Payne was seen by an Eagle reporter this morning and she admitted that the divorce proceeding was all off and that she was to reside here again with her husband. She desired to make no further statement, other than to say "He came after me; that's enough." This is 3. climax to one of the most sensational affairs that ever started in social circles here. Riverhead people to-day are really joyous- ly welcoming Mre. Payne to the village again, and are highly elated that the unhappy affair of the divorce has been adjusted as it now stands.

There is not really much surprise in some circles to know that Mrs. Payne has decided to give up the divorce proceedings and return to Riverhead. for some such step as this has been rather looked for for some time, and, it must be said, hoped for by nearly all Riverhead people who are acquainted with Dr. and Mrs. Payne.

Their popularity here is probably as great to-day as it was before the unhappy divorce proceeding became public property. Mrs. Payne admitted to the Eagle reporter that she did go to South Dakota to obtain a residence and sue for a divorce, but what the trouble was that sent her on such a journey she refused to say. It is known that she has been quite unhappy out there, as she has written to that effect to various Riverhead people during her stay there. A few weeks ago Dr.

Payne left town and was gone several days. It. was stated that he had gone to bring his wite back to Riverhead, but he returned alone. Thursday afternoon of this week he went to Manhattan after her, bringing her to Riverhead 011 the late train last night. The couple are now living as happily as before and, from all indications, the unhappy incident of the proposed divorce will be completely forgotten.

When Mrs. Payne started for Dakota to get her divorce, the doctor took her out there. This was looked upon ag a most unusual course. He provided a comfortable home for her there and was to pay all ol her expenses. At the time he took Mrs.

Payne away there Was no reason for the contemplated divorce that could be even sur. mised in this place. There WaS not the slightest breath of suspicion against either party, and finally it was given out as incompatibility of temperament, and this was generally accepted as the sole reason for the divorce. It was said that the doctor asked his wife to get a divorce from him and that, after considerable persuasion, she consented to this course. The couple lived together for Ave years and had always appeared to be particularly devoted to each other.

This devotion lasted until the very day the start WAS made for Dakota. And even then it was presumed that the doctor cared fondly for his wife, as he took such pains to get her comfortably located and WAS paying all of her expenses. The whys and wherefore of the case will probably never be known by the public, for both Dr. and Mrs. Payne refused to make any statement as to why the step was taken.

They say, "We did agree to separate through a divorce. We have now decided to stop the divorce proceedings, and live happily together in this place. What the trouble was we don't care to state, and in fact, it's nobody's businesa." Both Dr. and Mrs. Payne are as prominent socially here 2.5 any couple can be.

Both are musical, one a fine pianist and the other a fine tenor singer. During the five years of their married life they appeared in practically all the private and public social doings of the place. In his profession Dr. Payne ranks high. Since he took his wite to Dakota he has continued his practice here.

Mrs. Payne is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin G. Tuthill of Mattituck, and Dr.

Payne is a son of Captain and Mrs. Emmett Payne, of Greenport, and both are well known all over Long Island. CAR CRASHES THROUGH BARN. Motorman Badly Hurt, Passengers Scared and Farm Wagons Smashed in the Bronx. Leaving the tracks at a dangerous curve at West Farms road and Greene avenue, in the Bronx, when its motorman put it to too high speed early this morning, car No.

297 of the Union Railway Company plunged across the yard in front of a large barn owned by James Laffin, and on into the front. door of the barn itself. The heavy car broke in the door and smashed on into the barn, breaking whatever partitions stood in its way, for its entire length. The car Wag driven by Motorman Michael Martin, of 889 East One Hundred and Thirtyfourth street. Two passengers were in it and the conductor was on the rear platform.

The front of the car was demolished by the crash and the motorman was buried in debris. When he was dug out he was found to be so badly injured that be was token to the Fordham Hospital. Dr. Dolan being summoned in an ambulance. The passengers and conductor escaved with nothing worse than a bad fright and shaking up.

Patrolman James Dunn, of the Westchester station, heard the noige when the car broke into the barn and hurried to the scene. He helped dig Martin out of the ruins of the car. In its course through the front of the barn the car smashed several farming wagons and narrowly missed killing several horses, which were a few feet out of its path. Martin suffered fracture of his left leg between the knee and ankle. PARK SLOPE BOYS IN CORK.

A Fine Minstrel Effort by Well Known Home Talent. Park Slope received its Arst installment of home talent minstrelsy last evening in the large parlora of the Harbison residence, 470 Second street, Careful rehearsals of several weeks on songs, duos, quartets, jokes, cake walks and negro dialect, resulted in as pleasing and well given minstrel programmie as is the lot of amateurs to inflict on their appreciative and sympathetic friends. The cork. full dress and semi-circle were in evidence to perfection on a raised stage banked with flowers, and the parlors, hallways and stairs were overflowing with representative Slope audience. The jokes were clever, the singers could sing and the applause terrific.

A feature was a cake walk by Kenneth Harbison. The other were M. Whipple, interlocutor: J. Todd and K. Harbison, ends; L.

OPEN LETTERS ARE A FEATURE. Ex-Judge Seabury, Who Left County Bench in January, Heads Hempstead Democratic Ticket. (Special to the Eagle.) Mincola, L.

1., April 1-Politics in Nassau now engrossing the attention of County nearly every citizen of voting age and the question is, which party will all absorbing win at the polls next Tuesday, when the bitown meetings are to be held? cantal In each of the three towns, Oyster Bay, Hempstead and North Hempstead, the candidates are putting finishing touches to campaign, which has been brief, but their exceedingly lively. the Republican and Democrade nominees appear to be confident of election, and no effort will be spared on Tuesday to get out the full party vote Straieht party tickets are in the field. excepting in the Town of Hempstead, where there is a combination ticket between the Democrats and Citizens. In the home town of President Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, the opposing candidates for supervisor are William H. Weeks on the Re- publican ticket and William H.

Jones on the Democratic. Mr. Jones has served as a eupervisor since Nassau County was erected, over six years ago and is a member of the retiring board. He received a unanimous renomination at the recent Democratic convention. Heretofore it has been the policy of the Republications to nominate a candi-: date whose strength could not measure up to that of Mr.

Jones, as he was exceptionally popular and always received a considcrable percentage of Republican votes. This year matters are different. Mr. Weeks, the Republican candidate, is popular in Sea Cliff, his home village, and elsewhere through the town, gO that the Republicans are sanguine that he has a good fighting chance of election. The Democrats, who for over a year have been divided, have not, it is reported, settled.

their differences, and there is a faction that will bolt Mr. Jones, it is claimed. Supervisor Jones was one of the Nassau board which aroused so much contention concerning its administration of affairs, and he, with Supervisor Edwin G. Willets, of North Hempstead, and ex-Supervisor Cox. of Hempstead.

were attacked openly, investigated and made parties to several proceedings which were dismissed by the courts, and the county Grand Jury failed to hold them liable for any crime under a report made by Henry P. Keith. The supporters of Jones argue that the attacks made upon his administration of atfairs have emanated from political jealousy entirely, and not from any desire to benefit the county. They point to the low tax rate given the town of Oyster Bay this year, the betterment of assessments in comparison with other towns, improvements secured by Supervisor Jones, one being the $25,000 bridge at Glen Cove, etc. The town government, Supervisor Jones' adherents maintain, is in first class condition, and his re-election is In the Town of North Hempstead, Supervisor Edwin C.

Willets, also one of the former board, is opposed to Frederick N. riss, a young Manhattan lawyer, who ran last fall on the Democratic ticket, for member of Assembly, Mr. Watriss lives at Old Westbury and is an occasional follower of the Meadow Brook hounds. Like his colleague. Mr.

Jones, Supervisor Willets has had an open letter sent him by his opponent, referring to various acts in connection with the county government, to which he has replied. giving reasons for them, while admitting that he may have made mistakes. The Democrats of the town are hustling. and although Mr. Willets' re-election is claimed as a certainty by the Republicans, the Democrats are not discouraged.

The town vote is usually close, and with evidences of some disaffection among the Republicans. the Democrats believe they have a good chance of carrying it, at least for a portion of their ticket. A warm contest is also being waged in Hempstead township. The Republicans here have as opponents the Democrats and Citizens. which, as stated, have named a combined ticket.

with ex-County Judge Robert Seabury heading it for supervisor. His opponent is Joseph T. Hall, a young man, who has been assessor of the town for two terms past and was formerly all overseer of the poor. The Republicans have had a norinal majority in Hempstead, of from 300 600. 'The Citizens' movement, which originated two years ago.

has. it is believed, cut down this majority preceptibly, as a number of Republicans have allied themselves with the Citizens movement since two years ago, and all is not harmonious within the organization ranks of the party, eccording to reports, With Judge Seabury at the head of their ticket. and the Citizens' indorsement of him, the Democrats are working hard to secure its success at the polls on Tuesday. Judge Seabury is known in all sections of Hempstead township and the excellent record he made on the bench, together with his knowledge of supervisors' law and practice. obtained by long experience as clerk of the Queens County board, his supporters aver, admirably fit him for the office.
