Medical Authorities Agree that Olive Oil is a staple article of daily food. Sir Thomas physician tJ Kin'g; Edward's household, recently said: "Take olive, oil, live on' it, live with it, and don't do without it." Olive oil is the most efficient natural laxative. As a preventive of gall stones and the prevention and treatment of appendicitis, it is used and recommended by physician's of all In the treatment of coughs and colds, it has largely supplanted cod liver oil.

Case of 24 9., LIEBM ANfj'S ONS Rheinp (Paie) Beer Irene Franklin With a New Song. Viuie Daly, The. Quartet, Eddie Leonard and Two. Good Sketches Pleased. The, audience at the Orpheum last night was treated to one of the best vaudeville bills of the season.

It was headed by Irene Franklin in her original character songs. Maybe Irene was made-the top-liner because Bhe gets the most but, though she scored her usual triumph, there were other numbers which the audience liked Just as well. Irene gave her familiar "Redhead." "I Don't Care What Becomes of Me" and the "Walter's Song" and added a new one. "The Soubrette With' Brooklyn Show," which tickled the audience immensely. Burt Green at the piano added his bit of humor.

Harri-gan, the tramp Juggler, got a big reception, and his tricks with various articles, Interspersed by songs and witty stories, kept the audience in roars. Vlnie Daly, the clever dancer, was another who took, and she had to respond to Beveral encores. Eddie Leonard, the minstrel, assisted by the Gordon Brothers, buck and wing dancers, appeared in his Southern minstrel skit, "In Old Virginia," with pretty scenery and good songs. "The Quartette" easily the best that has sung in vaudeville in Brooklyn this year, was so well liked that the singers had a hard time getting away. They were liberal with encores.

"Plxley's Prodigal Parents" was the name of a good little comedy by Mrs. Gardner Crane, in which she took the leading role. The story was that of an old couple bent on divorcing each other. They met accidentally at the home of a younger couple who understood the situation and proceeded to quarrel. The old folks were made to see the foolishness of it all and straightway made up.

Frank Stafford and Miss Marie Stone appeared in' a novel sketch called "A Hunter's Game," a tale of flirtation and love. Mr. Stafford introduced some great whistling stunts, imitating birds and farmyard petB. Miss Stone also sang well. The Bolces appeared in daring Newell and Niblo played entertainingly on musical instruments, and the vltagraph showed the usual good pictures.

HEPTASOPHS AT THE FULTON Enjoy Vaudeville and Supper Afterwards. Big Bill of Fourteen Acts Pleases Organization Which Buys Out Playhouse. At the Fulton Theater last evening the second of the series of big bills, in which fourteen' 'acts' are programme was given beiore an audience made up of the Allied Conclaves of Long Island of the Heptasoph Fraternal Association. The organization had bought out the entire house for the evening and there was hardly a seat vacant when the curtain rose. Among the Conclaves represented were Flatbush Conclave No.

953, Edward Sheffield, president; Greenwood Conclave No. William S. Burgess, first vice president; Brooklyn Conclave No. 190, Louis Engelhardt, second vice president; Montauk Conclave No. 539, Waiter i rtrfeoardlng secretary; America Conclave No.

1000, James F. Kavanagh borrespoiidlBg secretary; Hen-drick Hudson Cpnplave No. 960, Clarence Dalton. treasurer; Conclave 500, Frank H. Wasel, Inspector.

The members were all" 'accompanied by their wives and women and after the performance about 175 couples adjourned to the Ormonde opposite the theater, for supper. Edward Sheffield had charge of the arrangements for the entertainment. ThiB week's show at' the Fuiton is an exceptionally long and attractive one but perhaps' the biggest hit was scored by Campbell and Barber, comedy In addition to performing some of the most difficult feats on a bicycle that have ever been seen here the antics of the comedy member of the team are aide splitting in their absurdity. Jack Lorimer, the, beadllner, sang Scotch songs In bis droll and humorous fashion and Felix and Caire duplicated their success of a previous engagement with their imitations. Clarice Vance, whose singing of coon songs Is distinctive and marked by unusual expression, was another of the star features, while the circus of Fox and Foxie was a feat ure of especial interest as was "the smallest horse In the world." The two English.

Rosebuds, the Magnlni Four In the novelty "The Musical Brooks and Vedder in a comedy skit; Harry Brown and company In an uncommonly well acted comedy skit the "Village Doctor," in which Mr. Brown proved a stronged reminder of William H. Crane; Harvey and Lee, Hebrew parodists; the Florence family, European acrobats, and the Fultonscope completed the varied programme. THE CROWDED COLUMBIA. Rain had no effect on attendance at the Columbia Theater last night, and as usual the house was crowded and a first-class bill was highly appreciated.

The Six Pierrots, English society enter tainers, are excellent performers with an act never before seen here. The songs sung by this sextet are very catchy and met with approval. Carita, an artistte toe dancer, recently from Paris, made a big hit with her snow and fire dance and received the stamp of- appreciation from the large audience. The Daltons. in a clever Bkit.

entitled the "Messenger Boy and the Maid." have a funny act with a lightning finish. Maud and Annie Kramer, conversationalists and dancers, came In for the usual encores. Clara Antoinette Shade, a South Brooklyn girl. impersonated Anna Held and Bessie McCoy, to the delight of her hear ers. Fitzgerald and Wilson, rapid fire comedians and parody kings, caused much amusement with their droll sayings.

The Vivians, sharpshooters, are champions of that particular class. Miss Vivian masters the William Tell act. with the greatest ease from the balcony of the theater. Harry Henry demonstrated what a good singer can do with any old song. He made a hit.

The Columbla-Bcope, with new and exclusive motion pictures, made up the night's entertainment. IN MANHATTAN. Charity demands that as little as possible be said of the new play, "The Gay Life," which was produced at Daly's Theater in Manhattan last night. Roy Cardell, a newspaper writer, la responsible for the play. It deals with the same sort of life as "The Easiest Way," but In a supposedly humorous vein.

Lacking in humor, however, and possessing no plot to speak of, it falls-to interest. The principals last night were nervoua. but even at their best could not have saved the situation. Few of them showed any talent in the chances that were presented for character A large, Interested audience witnessed Mr. Mantell's revival of Shakspeare's grewBome tragedy "Macbeth" In the Academy of Music, Manhattan, last night, as the beginning of the seventh week of his present stay inNew York.

Following the Booth version, the versatile classic actor won great applause for his strong and finished portrayal of Macbeth, which he made always Interesting. Miss Marie Booth Russell as Lady Macbeth proved to be a fine foil to Mr. Mantell's Macbeth. In the support Fritz Le.lber as Macduff, Ethelbert Hales as Banquo, Alfred Hastings as Duncan and several others contributed much to the effectiveness of the production. Mr.

Mantell will continue in "Macbeth" dur-'g the rest of the week at ths Academy. Star of New Viennese Operetta "Mile. Mischief." Musical Story of a Girl Who Wins a Wager That She Will Become a Soldier for a Day. Lulu Glaser returned to her Brooklyn admirers last night, at the Broadway Theater, where she appeared as the star of the new Viennese operetta "Mile. Mischief," a production that suits her capabilities exactly.

Miss Glaser, in the role of Mile. Rosetta, takes the dare of a friend who wagers that she cannot spend twenty-four hours in the barracks of a Viennese regiment, and Bhe does it In a way that brings surprise all along the line. Rosette finds the pocketbook of a young millionaire, containing a large sum of money and bis enlistment papers in the verx regiment that she has wagered she will enter for a day, and forthwith the fun begins, all her friends and a host of others being dragged into the plot, first to get her into the barracks, in the guise of the young millionaire, and next, to get her safely out of the place. Miss Glaser appears In several changes of costume, some of them very fetching, and as a boy she makes up handsomely. She sings a number of songs, in excellent, voice, and her actliig is well, just Lulu Glaser, distinctive, funny, and in a class all by herself.

The supporting company is a big one, and it contains some fine talent. The only criticism one can make is that the operetta does not 1 provide enough material to keep all the talent continuously busy and showing to the best advantage. Ned Wayburn, who has provided a fine series of musical numbers for the operetta, ought to crowd in Just twice as many, and the big and attractive chorus should have more opportunity to show its paces In dancing and to exhibit the splendid costumes, some of which are brought into view for only, a few, minutes. It is a pretty operetta, with a musicianly score by Carl M. Zlehrer, and Sydney Rosen-feld has glven.it a good American adaptationonly, with such a big company and' such a lot of good actors lying around loose, much more could be put Into it to.

advantage. Josie Intropodi, a well-known little fun-maker, is on the stage barely ten minutes during the en tire performance, In the role of an aged- aunt, and Ethel Intropodi, who can sing like a bird when she gets a chance, has only enough vocal work to keep her voice In trim. Gertrude Darrell, also the pos sessor of a. fine voice; fares somewhat better in having a solo number that she makes the most of. William.

Roselle, as an artist lover, does some good team work with Miss Glaser, while Alexander Clark, as Meline, a millionaire manufacturer, and Roy Atwell. as his son, Freddie neither character gifted with a proper amount of brains keep the audience in roars of laughter whenever they are upon the stage. Others in the cast who do noteworthy work in minor roles are Robert Broderlck. W. P.

Carleton, William' Glaser, Frank Farrington, Ada Henry, Ida Stanhope and Mary Hopkins. There are three artistic sets of scenery and enough elaborate costumes for two operettas instead of one. BURLESQUES. The Inclemency of the weather caused no falling off In the attendance at the Olympic. Theater- last, night.

Rose Say- dell, the well krfown Brooklyn 1 actress, and her "London Belles," gave 'an ex ceedingly interesting entertainment. The company Is composed of pretty young girls, whose singing is sweet and charming. The performance opened with a musical comedy, entitled "Affinity Bureau," and concluded Devil" (Der Teufel). The costumes worn were attractive and the dancing of the young women, caused something of a sensation. The olio' is long and composed of well-known comedians, who furnished plenty of amusemeift.

They are: Freeman Brothers, novelty medley singers and eccentric dancers; Campbell and Weber, in a skit entitled Manhasset Four, Kennedy, Evans and Kennedy, in their up-to-date comedy, "True to 1 Nature," completes the list. There is another good show In towtf this week, "The -Lid Lifters." at the 6tar TJieater, with a two-act musical comedy that is up to the minute for pretty girls, costumes and good singing. The comedians were good, led by John Jess, C. Barrett, Jack Davis, Lee Hickman and Ben Walker, the chorus sung many Scotch songs costumed In kilts, and were brought to the footlights by Hattie Mills, May Van Leer, Blanche Mania and Maude Ellston. In the vaudeville acts are Jack Davis, clog dancer, on rolling skates; Hickman and Jess, Hattie Mills, a singer; Rose and Ellis, the jumping Jacks, and Walker and Barrett, character artists.

There were three wrestling bouts and only one fall, but the fur during this sport is worth seeing. The storm did not affect the crowd that went to the Empire last night to see one of the best musical shows that has appeared at that theater, the Frolicsome Lambs company, with two good burlesques. The actors and actresses who made the fun were Frank Carlton, Joe Browning, Al Lavin. Harry Antrim, Wlllard Terre, Yetta Peters, Katie Pembroke and May Strehl, with a good looking chorus. In the olio were Browning and Lavan, talking and singing comedi-sns; Antrim and Peters, whistling and singing; Carlton and Terre, comedians; the GuS Onlau Trio, Parisian novelty wire act.

and the famous Klein, Otto Bros, and Nicholson, who gave the audience a fine lot of good music. The fun ended with a burlesque, "At Monaco," which was lively. VAUDEVILLE IN GREENPOINT. Gennaro "the eccentric" and his Venetian Gondolier band in a tuneful review, entitled "Venice By Night," led an exceptionally good bill at the Greenpomt Theater last night. 'The setting of Gen-naro's offering was a beautiful picture of Venice as It is swathed In the sentimental moonlight.

Mullen and Corelli no relation to Marie in a number of humorous peculiarities, vied with Gennaro for first honors from the gallery. The evening's performance started' off with De Haven and Sidney In the "Dancing Waiter and the Guest." It was a good skit and the standard set by this initial offering was maintained throughout the entire programme. Next came Jennings and Renfrew in a number of their own songs. Laura Burt and her company in a laughable farce that is supposed to have taken place In a bathroom, and John W. World and Mlndel Kingston.

After the Intermission Hardeen, "The Handcuff King" and Montgomery and Moore made successful bids for favor. The vita-graph pictures were also extra good last night. BIG BILL AT THE BIJOTJ. There is a well-balanced bill at the Bijou Theater this week. It is evident that first-class vaudeville at popular prices is making a hit at the Smith street house, for, in spite of the bad weather last evening, there were few vacant seats.

The topliner this week is Edward Mc-Wade, assisted by Margaret May and Frances Ray, in a comedy playlet. "An Emergency Act." The scene Is back stage during a rehearsal, and the dialogue and action is very funny. Tom Barry and company present a sketch. "N'tck Carter, the Boy Detective." which Is good; Hill, Cherry and Hill proved to be bicycle riders of ability; Felix Adler gave some very good Imitations; Rose Washburn, In illustrated songs, was pleasing; the Five Musical Spillers were very clever; Coakley and McBrlde, late with the "Red Mill" company, made a hit in blackface; Bowen, Lena and Moll have a good novelty act, and the programme closed with some aew views on the BIJouscope. "The Patriot" Seems to Be All Right, But Collier Wasn't.

AUDIENCE COULDN'T HEAR HIM Had to Guess What His Play Was About From the Other Actors. Possibly the "The Patriot," In which William Collier appeared at the New Montauk Is very funny. Possibly the linos which the star has are funny. The few that got across the footlights and reached the audience caused laughter. Judging hy these samples of mirth producers they were But few reached the audience.

Mr. Collier was on confidential terms with himself and his fellow players. Barely a third of his wtter-arices floated over the first six rows of seats. The people beyond must yet be wondering -what they received for the money they paid for the right to occupy their seats. Whit understanding they of.

the play came from the other players. There were unnecessary acts of cerebration demanded from the audience. -By the re-pries or the leading remarks of the 'star1 character through" swift mentation they possibly might have arrived at the meaning of the lines Mr. Collier was supposed to utter. Intelligence of the play could be gained In no other way.

If Mr. Collier was ill last night and out of voice he may be excused, but then the better plan would have been to have returned the money to. the audience and not the curtain. If it Indifference it was then an insult to an audience that had braved a storm to witness his If his utterances were due to. a conception of art and of naturalism Mr.

Collier wants to go to school again. So far as the vast majority of the audience was concerned there was -little difference 'between the scene on which he makes his first entrance, in which ostentatiously he speaks no lines, and the subsequent ones in which it had ocular but not aural evidence that be did speak. "The Patriot" is labeled a farce. It is a farce. And in a farce we are not much concerned as to 'whether the probabilities are preserved or not.

We will, in these days except as a basis for laugh producing scenes and speeches, the wildest improbability absurdity. "The Patriot" is thin in texture and poverty stricken in incidents. However, it affords a good enough vehicle for the exploitations of Collierisms if, Indeed, you could have head them. The son of an Englishman, related to a wealthy and aristocratic family settles in America. He has left his lands in Nevada to his son Sir Augustus Plantagenet Armitage (Collier.) Augustus conceives the idea that gold Is to be found on these landB it mined for.

He. organizes a company, the shareholders of which are the servants of his house, his neighbors and an Indian. When the play opens he has expended every dollar in exploitation, is in debt and his shareholders and miners are ready to A meeting of the company is called by Augustus to stave off the strike nd he beguiles them, with the vision of a Wonderful city to grow up there. The act nds with the visit of an English solicitor to tell Augustus that he has Inherited the family property and an Income of $50,000 a year. Augustus hastily departs for England.

In the second act, Augustus is found under the domination of a superior valet who is charged with the function of developing him Into a well bred man of fashion. He learns, too, that there is a string to his Inheritance. He must, marry an English girl to receive it. Finally he rebels, foregoes his inheritance, and declaring independence, returns to America. The third act tells the audience that during his absence gold has been found in his mines.

The shareholders are excited over his arrival and re dressed in costumes they think are befitting to receive him. He. is received with joy, dressed' in ultra. British traveling costume -and wins the girl he has always loved. Now all of this is good material if conventional had it only been well worked out.

But the authors failed to use their advantages. There are some well played parts. Helena Collier-Garrlck gave her au dience genuine comedy in her part of Bijou Strong and her lines were given wltn spirit and intelligence and her acting was exquisitely funny. Mr. Sayvllle gives a modest and finished characterization well proportioned.

So did Reginald Maron as the superior Major domo. Thomas Martin as Caesar and Annie Esmond as Mrs Berkshire. Miss Phyllis Sherwood as Nell was fresh, ingenuous and delightful William Collier well William Collier was William Collier, with all his nerve, his peculiarities and his characteristics. When the farce can be heard in all its parts it doubtless, will prove to be a real entertainment. There is indubitable evidence that the lines are funny.

The orchestra laughed frequently. "WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES Crescent Stock Company Presents Broadhurst's Farce in Good Style. George H. Broadhurst's farce, "What Happened to Jones," was presented the Crescent Theater before a large and hilarious audience last night. The laughter began early in the first act, and kept up until the closing scene.

The wiles of Jones, who traveled" for a hymn-book house, selling playing cards as a sido line and posed as the bogus Bishop of Ballarat, were very amusing. G. A. Forbes was excellent as Jones, and played the part with the broad and unctuous humor the character demands. Charles I.

Schoflcld as Ebenezer Goodly, professor of anatomy, who is Inred to a prize fight, which is raided by the police, and where he gets a black eye, played the part in capital style. Arthur Buchanan as the real bishop, who is taken for an escaped lunatic, was sufficiently meek and gentle. Ben F. Wilson as Richard Heatherly and G. Swayne Gordon as William Bigbee, a crazy man, were both satisfactory.

The women were all very good and acted with much spirit and vivacity. This included Jessie McAlister, Alice Fleming, Fannie Sanford, Emllle Melville, Isadora Martin and Dora Booth. VAUDEVILLE AT THE GOTHAM. A new policy was started at the Gotham yesterday. The management went back to vaudeville and moving pictures, which change was welcomed by East New Yorkers.

Brennan and Germann present their comedy sketch entitled "The Hook," which deals with amateurs getting a try-out on the popular amateur nights. Harry Boerum sang illustrated songs; Walter Reynolds was heard in a monologue and songs; The Burrises, colored entertainers; Sam Barton, comedy cyclist; Miss Alva McGill, singing comedienne, and three motion pictures rounded out a good bill. OLCOTT HOLDS OVER. Chauncey Olcott continues to charm large audiences at I he Majestic Theater with his songs In "Ragged Robin." The second week of his stay here began lart night with a fair-sized house despite the rain. Mr.

Olcott received many curtain calls. Double Bill by the Aborn Company at the Grand Opera House. CAVALLERIA AND PAGLIACCI For the First Half of the Week. With "Trovatore" to Follow. The double bill, including Mascagnl's "Cavallerla Rusticana" and Leoncavallo's "Pagliaccl," with Beparate casts for each opera, brought out a large audience at the Grand Opera House, last evening, and' the Aborn Grand Opera Company, notwithstanding unfavorable weather conditions for singing, was in good form and voice.

Max Fichandler conducted both operas with skill and keen musical Intelligence. In "Cavalleria," Bertha Shalek VaS the Santuzza, and she sang with dramatic force and Intensity, while physically she was well cast for 'the part. Fritzi von Busing, who was a marked favorite in the productions by the Aborn company last season, made her first appearance this spring, in the role of Lola, a part not so prominent as to give to her full opportunity to display and beauty of her voice as in some others in which she has been Both sheand" Miss Shalek were vigorously applauded on their entrance on the stage. Hattie Belle Ladd was artistic in her conception and characterization of the role of Mme. Lucia.

Harrle Davles's Lyric tenor was pleasantly effective in the role of Turlddu and toward the close he warmed to his work. Thomas Richards could not be said, to be fiery in the role of the teamster, Alflo, but his acting, especially in his cool defiance of -Turiddu just before, the duel, was capitally A good '-word should be said for the It never trifles with its work; the voices are sent over the footlights, with force, precision and splendid volume. Earnestness marked its efforts in every ensemble, i After the strenuous music of "Cavalleria" the sweetness of Leoncavallo was accented in "Pagliaccl," and a good forerunner was the admirable singing, combined with declamation, of Harry Luckstone, who gave the prologue in the role of the clown, Tonio. He was vigorously applauded. The opera as a whole was splendidly sung, and to this the singing and ffcting of Doraenico Russo, as Canio the injured husband, and the singing of Lois Ewell.

as the false wife, largely contributed. MisS Ewell's purity and clearness of tone was notable, while Sig. Russo, who sang in Italian, gave a characterization that stamped him as an artist. He was intense and passionate up to the point where a step farther would have been overacting. There was, especially in the galleries snd in the rear of the auditorium, a largo number of his compatriots, and time and again they rolled up "vivas" for him almost vociferously.

A mixture of the Latin element in a Brooklyn audience is amazingly effective in the way of encouraging artists to do their very best. Miss Ewell's actlns Improved toward the close, ana. in tno scenes where she mads sport of her husband, not. dreaming that she was near death, she was finely effective. Harry Luckstone.

as Tonio; George crampton as the lover, Sylvio, and George Gordon White, as Beppo. were entirely adequate to their roles. The cnorus was a little scattering at the opening of the first act of "Pagliaccl." but it was in a passage where they had to look off stage, and found it highly inconvenient to keep their eyes on Mr. Fichandler baton. The double bill is to be repeated this afternoon and evening and to-morrow evening.

"Trovatore" will be sung for the rest of the week. MAGIC AT THE FOIXY. Thurston Does Wonderful New Tricks and Some Old Onea. Thurston, the past master In the art of legerdemain, draws crowded houses In the Folly this week. Clever is too mild an appellation for this magician, he Is wonderful.

Withal he is modest; in fact his man assistant puts on more airs than the magician himself. Mr. Thurston possesses that prime requisite of a magician; he is an entertaining talker and is often funny. He does not waste any time on explanations that don't explain, but, in the vt macular of the street arab proceeds to "deliver the goods." He gives Kellar's masterpiece, "The Levltation of Princess Karnac," a woman in a. hypnotic state suspended in mid-air without any visible means of support.

He surprised his audience with creations of his own. such as "the Bridal chamber," "the Glass Trunk," "the Prisoner of Canton." "the Inexhaustible Cocoanut," "the Lady and the Boy" and the great finale, "the Triple Mystery," in which his young woman assistant emerges from a trunk, with two inner comDartmentsjthat Is suspended on ropes that reach from the state to the topmost gallery. As a side attraction, Mr. Thurston Introduces Belar Hussan, an Indian conjurer, whom he brought from Bombay to demonstrate to the American public the actual merit of the Indian fakir and his ludicrous attempt to explain his tricks in a mixture of Indian and broken English cauBed no end of merriment. Another valuable addition Is Paul Klelst, a musician of no mean ability, who combines the mystic with the material In a very entertaining exhibition of black art comedy.

Special children's matinee on Saturday. "WARRENS OF VIRGINIA." First Seen in Stock at Payton's, and Well Done. With the identical scenery, stage set tings and costumes used in the original production, the Payton Stock Company presented to two large audiences yester day afternoon and evening, that memor able Belasco success. "The Warrens of Virginia," which Is the attraction at Payton's Theater this week. The part of "Buck" Warren, tne general of tne Southern Army during the Civil War, made famous by Frank Keenan, was played by Lee Sterrett with sufficient vigor and color to make it mignty interesting.

Miss Minna Phillips, the popular leading woman, was seen In the part of Agatha and gave a fine portrayal of the Southern type of American girl. Claude Payton was seen as Lieutenant Burton, one of the leading male parts and gave the best there was in him to the work. As the cause of the Warren's downfall and the lover of Agatha he contributed a very considerable share of the enthusiasm with which the members of the stock company handled the production last night and the big audience thought well of his work. Miss Grace Fox did Justice to the part of Mrs. Warren, the general's wife, and Miss Ethel Milton and Bob Livingston made two sprightly and entertaining Warren children.

George Fisher was serious for once in his life, plavlng the part of Arthur Warren with warmth and vigor. Other interesting parts were the spy, Blake, of Charles Greer, Charlotte Wade Daniel as "Sapho," the negro mammy and Joe Oirard's portrayal of Genearl Griffin of the Northern Army. The Southern at mosphere was well maintained and the perspective of the story was evenly bal anced. EX-MAYOR SCHIEREN SPEAKS. Traces the Growth of Lutheranism in the Eastern District Section.

The-celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the English Evangelical Lutheran of the Bedford avenue and Hewes street, of which the Rev. S. G. Weiskotten Is pastor, was brought to a fitting conclusion last 'night with appropriate. services which included what was termed a congregational reunion.

The storm did not interfere with the-attendance and as a result the handsome edifice was crowded. The services Included i addresses by 'prominent clergymen and others widely known social and business circles and conclude ed with a banquet which was served in the Sunday school department. t- Ex-Mayor Charles A. Schleren made the principal address, during which he outlined the history of English Lutheranism 'in Brooklyn, paying a partifcutar compliment Uo the' Church -of the and the -strides It had made. The services? opened with a few In troductory remarks by the Rev.

Mri after the gathering was addressed by Harry a charter member of the church and a member of the trustees, and church council. He complimented the members upon their interest in the church, their attendance and the liberality of their donations which made such a handsome edifice possible. He also referred to the advancement during the past fifteen years and of the many mission churches established which are now self-supporting. He said tbat the Church of the Redeemer was Instrumental, in or ganization of the New York and New England Synod of which their pastor was president and complimented all on the fact that air but $5,000 'of the church mortgage had been subscribed. Mr.

Mollenhauer was followed by ex-Mayor Schleren, who said! "In the early part of 1894 a number of Luthernas met at the Rossi Street Chapel for the purpose of -organizing an EngllBh Lutheran congregation In this section of the city. Several attempts had been made before but none were successful. The meeting was well attended and an earnest spirit manifested Itself. A temporary organization was formed which afterward was made permanent and call tendered to our' pastor, the Rev. Mr.

Weiskotten, which he promptly accepted and soon filled the pulpit. Right from the beginning the English Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, the name adopted for the new church, was a success and became quite popular in this neighborhood. Many Lutherans who lived there, and their children desired English Church service. Within a short time this new congregation erected this beautiful church edifice' at a cost exceeding $100,000, but it Is free from debt now. "Brooklyn seemed to be a splendid field for establishing English Lutheran churches.

No real efforts bad etfer been. made to supply the growing demand. The young Lutheran element desired English preaching, especially the children, of; Qert man and Scandinavian parents born' in this country. Pastor Weiskotten realized the great necessity and suggested that his people form a Lutheran misslonary society to supply churches In. the stroni Lutheran districts of the city.

The Idea met heartyapproval by his people and other prominent Lutherans. The society was promptly formed, and Its success Is well known. I need only mention that there are at present ten English churches who have their own church edifices and are self-sustaining and prosperous. This proves conclusively that the churches were needed and ripe for the harvest. The society does not expect to rest upon its labors, but will be more active in future to establish mission churches in the new parts, of Brooklyn and Queens.

It has already occupied several Important fields, which promise success. Nothing succeeds like success, which may be true, but It needs energy and good judgment in every enterprise in order to succeed. We certainly owe a debt of gratitude -to our pastor, who was one of the foremost leaders in this great undertaking, which met with such singular success. He received able assistance and co-operation, still he was looked upon as the leader. This church may justly be called the mother church of English Lutherism in.

Brooklyn; but aside from this nobleachievement the pastor, by his energy and untiring devotion, built up this" beautiful Christian church. It will ever stand a monument to his energy and zeal, of which he may Justly tie proud. May the Lord grant him many years to spread the gospel in this community." The Rev. Mr. Weiskotten presided at the banquet served in the Sunday school room in the basement.

The tables were arranged in the form of a cross, while the walls were hung with American flags, giving the needed touch of color to the scene. The entire arrangements for the banquet were made by the women of the congregation, who compose the Aid Society and Loyal Daughters. These received the thanks of the diners for their efforts. During the banquet the diners were addressed by the Rev. Dr.

J. C. Kunzmann, superintendent of Home Missions, and the Rev. H. Miller, president of the Eastern Conference of the New York and New England Synod.
