(Special to The Eagle.) Patchogue, L. October 30 A $12,000 offering was taken at the morning service in the Methodist Episcopal Church here yesterday. During the past summer extensive improvements have been made to both the exterior and interior of tho edifice, these improvements exceeding by far the conservative estimate of the church board. As a result, many of the church people were in a quandary to know how the expense was to be met. The young pastor of the church, the Rev.

Ira W. Henderson, took an optimistic view of the situation, and during last week had letters sent to every member of the church and others, warning them of the offering to be asked for yesterday. The result was that through the earnest appeal practically the entire amount needed to pay for the Improvement was raised. The church was crowded to the doors in the evening, when the annual rally-day exercises were given by the Sunday school. An orchestra of twenty pieces and the choir of twenty voices augmented the customary programme.

MAN AND WIFE NEAR DEATH. Elderly Couple Almost Asphyxiated by Gas in Their Home. Hugh McGraw, 63 years old, and his wife, Margaret, 73 years old, who live at 412A Eighteenth street, narrowly escaped death today when shortly before 11 o'clock they were overcome by illuminating gas. Mrs. McGraw was cooking luncheon on a gasrange in her kitchen, and, after putting the food on the stove, went into the dining room, sue taiKeo with her husband for a few minutes, and he then started to read to her.

That is the last they remember. Some time later Mrs. James CVary, who lives in the same house, was passing through the hall and noticed the odor of gas. She traced it to the apartment of the McGraw's and tried the door. Finding it locked, and being unable to get any response to repeated knocks, she notified the police of the Fifth avenue station, who sent an officer around to Investigate.

The policeman went up the lire escape and entered the kitchen. He discovered that the gasplpe attached to the stove had become loose and that gas was escaping. After turning It off he found the two elderly people, both of whom were unconscious. He sent in a hurry call for an ambulance, and Dr. Barber of the Seney Hospital responded.

The physician worked over them for over an hour. The man soon responded to treatment, but the woman required heroic methods to restore her to consciousness. Finally the doctor brought her around, and while both she and her husband were very ill, it was not neces sary to remove them to the hospital. It Is thought that Mrs. Mcuraw, in passing from the kitchen to the diningroom displaced the gastube and that both husband and wife were overcome before they were aware that anything was the matter.

NEAR DEATH IN AUTO CHASE. Officer Mesle's Motorcycle Smashed as He Leaped Into Big Car. John Mesle, a bicycle policeman, chased a speeding auto. In which were the owner, Edward T. Maynard, a stockbroker, of 1414 Pacific Btreet, and his chauffeur, John Fink, 1418 Fulton street, for nearly two miles yesterday and narrowly escaped serious injury or death at the end of the chase when, he alleges, the man in charge of the machine suddenly stopped athwart his path.

He made a flying leap from his motor cycle Just as It crashed into the automobile, landing in the auto himself on top of the occupants, while the machine he had been riding was smashed against the guards. He was painfully scratcned and bruised, and alleged in the Flatbush police court today that a deliberate attempt had been made to injure him. Fink was find $25 and the case against Maynard was set over until tomorrow, as he was not In court today. There were fourteen other cases of auto speeding in the Flatbush police court today, and all were disposed of with fines ranging from $1 to $15. Mesle and two companions had rounded them up yesterday.

FUNERAL OF AGED NEGRESS. Funeral services for Mrs. Ann Maria Fisher, a wealthy colored woman, who lived sixty of her ninety-three years in the downtown section of Brooklyn and In her own home in Fleet place, were held yesterday In the Siloam Presbyterian Church at 1 o'clock. The Rev. Dr.

W. A. Alexander, the pastor, conducted the service and delivered a touching eulogy. The Rev. George Frazler Miller, the Rev.

William R. Lawton and the Rev. C. P. Cole, D.D., took part in the service.

The pallbearers were Charles H. Lansing, William Russell Johnson, William H. Smith, C. Ritter, D. Livingstone, John Oliver, E.

Bearfleld and M. P. Saunders. The interment was in a private plot in Evergreen Cemetery. LYNCHED PIENDISH NEGRO.

FUTURE AMERICAN POPE TALK Gossip in Rome That the Way Is Being Paved to This End. Washington, October 30 Mgr.

Dlomela Falconio, the papal delegate, who haj been elevated to the cardinalate alons with Archbishops O'Connell of Boston and Farley of New York, was today summoned to the consistory at Rome, November 27. Official notice of the appointment ot the new cardinals reached Mgr. Falconio today. All three prelates probably will sail not later than November 10. Falconio Will Not Return to America.

Mgr. Falconio does not expect to re turn to America, as Lis position will be advisory to the Pope. The Rev. Bona- vt nture Cerretti, the auditor of the papal delegation, will act as charge d'affaires until the appointment of an ablegate to succeed Mgr. Falconio.

Many telegrams of congratulation from tho Catholic clergy and laity and other friends in this country and Canada, and In Europe, have reached the newly selected member of the College of Cardinals. Mgr. Falconio snld he hoped to sail by the date mentioned. He expressed hiJ appreciation for the kindness of the American people since he came to Wash ington. "I have become greatly attached to the American people, because I am an American," said he.

"My work in Washington as representative of the Vatican has been most pleaBant. I leave here with many regrets, but must obey the call to other fields." Rome, October 30 Comments on the approaching conBistery, when -seventeen cardinals, including three from the United State's, will be created, continue to emphasize the great significance of Pope Pius' decision to grant to America four representatives in the Sacred College. By some it Is asserted that the way is being paved for the future advent of an American Pope. By such it Is pointed out that the largest aggregation of CathollcB in the world is to be found in the United States and its possessions, the Philippine Islands, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Guam. Not only are the CathollcB of America superior in numbers but in deep religious feeling, piety, loyalty to the Holy See and In wealth and generosity.

An Irish-American Pope is suggested for the day when it shall be considered no longer necessary for the papacy to be held by an Italian. Tho American College factulty and students are rejoicing especially over the elevation of Archbishop Farley of New York and Archbishop O'Connell of Boston, as they are alumni of the college. The former was one of the original thirteen Htudentg when the college was founded by Pope Plus IX. The latter Was both a student and a rector, and Is the first rector to be raised to the purple. The objections made by some that Mgr.

Kennedy, rector of the American College being an American, cannot be appointed Apostolic Delegate at Washington, are confuted by the fact that the present Pope, for the first time, made a departure from the rule, nominating gr. Frueh-wlrth as Papal Nuncio to Munich, which arrangement is working well. Mgr. Kennedy is described as a Romanist to the backbone. SHANNAHAN'S FRIENDS RALLY And Pledge Him Support in Municipal Judgeship Campaign.

Three hundred friends and neighbors of William Seward Shannahan, candidate for Municipal Court Judge in the Sixth District of Brooklyn, met yesterday afternoon at Acme Hall, Ninth street and Seventh avenue. There were present representatives all parts of the district. The meeting was an Informal one, and was called to order by Peter P. who stated that It was simply a gathering of friends and neighbors of Mr. Shannahan all desirous of aiding in his election to the Municipal Court bench.

He reverenced the record of Judge Shannahan in the Legislature, praisitig it and stated that the fact that Mr. Shannahan had been selected for this Important judgeship by Mayor Gaynor should be sufficient guarantee to the voters of his exceptional qualifications for judicial office. Remarks were made by ex-Assemblyman John F. Kearney and John C. L.

Daly, ex-Judge Travers of Flatbush and Francis J- McLoughlin. All paid a tribute to the independence, zeal and Integrity of Mr. Channahan and made suggestions calculated to aid in bringing about the election of tile candidate. Mr. Shannahan, replying, sincerely thanked his friends and neighbors for their promise of energetic work in his behalf.

Each person present pledged himself to work unceasingly during the remaining days of the campaign to roll up a majority for Mr. Shannahan. WIFE AFRAID OF T. J. YOUNG.

Accuses Him of Beating Heir Treated Badly for Seven Years. Thomas J. Young, 44 years old, living at 4910 Fourth avenue, was held in $100 bail today by Magistrate Hylan, In the Fifth avenue court, for examination on November 2, on a charge of assaulting his wife, Mary F. M. Young, who was In court and showed the effects of a severe beating, her left eye being badly discolored.

The woman was in a very nervous condition and told the judge that she had been receiving cruel and Inhuman treatment for seven years. She said that she had been frequently beaten, and that her husband had deserted her from time to time for periods ot as long as three months. In her affidavit she stated that last week she was beaten with a club, being knocked to the floor, and that from the effects of the beating she suffered a hemorrhage of the mouth and nose. The magistrate admonished Young to keep away from his wife until after the hearing on November 2. The woman was much worried at the possibility of Young a Proclamation by President Taf Fixing November 30 as the Date.

The proclamation reads as follows: The people of this land, having by long sanction and prnclhe set apart toward the close or each pushing year a day on which to cease from their labors and assemble for the purpose of giving praise to Him who Is the author of the blessings they have enjoyed, It Is my duty as chief executive tO hl. 1 A lh.

NEGRO DYING IN HOSPITAL His Sweetheart Is Locked Up Charged With Shooting Him. Ward Meyers, a negro messroom steward on the U. S. S. Connecticut, is dying in the Brooklyn Hospital with a bullec wound in his abdomen, and Rhoda Wilson, a young negrcss, Is locked up in the Raymond street jail on a charge of hav ing shot him.

Park M. Leo had been for three years in love with Rhoda, whose home is at 819 Gold street. Lee, laden with gifts for the girl, reached her home about midnight last night and found her entertaining Meyers, whose acquaintance Rhoda had made through Lee. There was a dispute between the woman and her lover, and he told her that life was not worth living any longer. He had on a previous occasion given her a .38 caliber revolver, and he told her to get it and shoot him.

That is the story Rhoda told to the police this morning. She had no intention, she says, of shooting anyone, but she got the revolver and began to fool with it. Meyers was shot in the abdomen, and the police believe that Rhoda deliberately fired the rovolver at him because sho wanted to appease the jealousy of Lee. She says the shooting was accidental. The noise of the shooting brought in the neighbors and Detective Cunningham of the Adams sireet station, who waj nearby, ran to the house.

He called an ambulance and Meyers was hurried to the hospital, where the doctors say the chances of his surviving ure very slender. Lee was arrested by the detective as an essential witness. He, too, declares that the shooting was accidental. This morning Chief Magistrate Kemp-ner, sitting In the Adams street court, heard Rhoda's plea of not guilty. She was held without ball until November i for examination.

BADLY BEATEN IN THEATER. Cuban's Nose Broken and Eye BlackenedSpecial Officer Accused. According to John Commento, a special officer in the Columbia Theater, there was almost a panic there last night, due to the noise made by Richard Bruen and Sergio Vassalo, two CubanB, who insisted, he declared, in taking seats on the side reserved for women. Patrolman Conlin of the Adams street station had placed the two Cubans, who were white and well dressed, under arrest, on Commen-to's statement. Commento did not have a scratch on his person, but he declared that the taller of the Cubans, vassaio, haJ thrown Mm down a flight of Btairs in the theater.

Chief Magistrate Kempner, who was sitting in the Adams street court when the men were arraigned, took much Interest In the case, for Vassalo's coat was smeared with blood, his nose was broken and his left eye was closed and discolored. Ho could speak no English, and had been In the country only a few weeks. His chum, who spoke the language well, said that Vassalo had been beaten by the special officer. Magistrate Kempner held the young men for further hearing In $100 bail each. Vassalo later made a complaint of felonious assault against the special, aud he, too, was arrested.

32 YEARS FOR WHITE SLAVER. Morris Cohen, Penniless, Must Serve Time for $5,000 Pine. Mrs. Lena Cohen, who was found guilty of conspiracy to violate the laws of the United States prohibiting the shipping In interstate commerce of girls for immoral purposes, was today sentenced by Judge Hough in the Criminal Branch of the United States Circuit Court in Manhattan, to serve a term of live years imprisonment in the women's prison at Auburn, N. Y.

Morris Cohen, who was convicted with her, was given a two years term at Atlanta. and fined $5,000. The fine to the man, who is penniless, means his serving thirly years additional to the time fixed by the sentence. Jennie Lureyya of Bridgeport, who was indicted with the Cohens, pleaded guilty and as she was used by the government as Its chief witness, was let off with a suspended sentence. MAN-O'-WARSMAN RAN AMUCK.

John Schoenfleld, a man-o'-warsman from one of the ships at present berthed In the North River, was held this morning by Magistrate Kempner, sitting in the Adnms street court, for the Grand Jury on a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon. He had a big knife'and was running amuck with it on Sands street, early this morning, when Patrolmen Finn and Cone of the Fulton street station arrested him. DR.

Burridge of Bristol, England, Delivers First Lecture on Pastor Russell. ASKS HIS CREDENTIALS. Something More Than His Word Needed to Make Him Fit to Preach. In the first of a series of seven lectures entitled T. Russell's Teachings Examined," delivered last evening in the Bethany Church, Clermont and Myrtle avenues, J.

H. Burridge, the well-known evangelist of Bristol, England, vigorously attacked the position, credentials and methods of Pastor Russell of the Brooklyn Tacernacle. Mr. Burridge showed that the Brooklyn preacher should have no claim on the conscience of sensible Scripture-abiding Christians either in this community or in any other. In part the speaker said: Pastor Russell's Position Is Glorified or Else He Is a Gigantic Fraud.

"Pastor Russell," the speaker said, "takes a position that is either the most dignified, the most glorified, and the most privileged, since the apostles or that of the most gigantic fraud ever Imputed upon the credulous public. It is important that we should know which of the two It Is. One of the things of Pastor Russell's in which people are so often deceived is his championing of the Scriptures. What he teaches is the subversion of what we call the orthodox teaching of the Scriptures. There is not a doctrine of our holy belief which he does not pervert.

He continually tells up that the time for a full enfolding ot the Scripture has come, that not even the apoBtles themselves knew the mean ing of the Scriptures as they are Interpreted today interpreted, that Is, by Pastor Russell." Mr. Burridge then quoted from the writings of Pastor Russell to show the truth of his contention. Taking up Volumes 1 and 2 of his work, entitled "Divine Tlan of the Ages." The speaker rend from their pages, and Bald in part: 'The writer warns his readers not to listen to modern or ancient theologians, but to listen to what he has to say. Ho is going to discover that they were all wrong and in error, because he has found something in the Scriptures which they have not. The writer says that these have been concealed designedly by our Lord until the 'due time' comes, which is the time of Pastor Russell.

He tells us that the Lord is on the earth to day, and that he is the one to say, 'There stands one among you whom you know not." Here we find his position. It is the position of a man who has testimony committed to him in the last few days of revelation that his is the 'due time' for the 'light to shine and that he is making that known which has never been known before or understood before. To give relief to his perverted truth he places it on basis of former errors. That is just what he does. I be lieve that he greatly trusts to the igno rance of the large majority of men regarding prophetic truths, and that as a rctult of this Ignorance, when Bomeone comes forth with some uninterpreted parts of Scripture we are inclined to believe them.

Wants to See Pastor Russell's Cre dentials. 'You have only to read his writings to find out his egotism, which has been spoken about by his former wife, and his disregard for all other theologians, who, he says, are In error. But where are bis credentials? Have we nothing but his word? We find in Scripture that servants must be clean and commend by their lives that which they teach by their lips, and this is even more paramount today. You never find Paul bringing suit against his defamers to replenish his coffers. Meekness becomes a servant.

He should be gentle to all men. What is there in the public life of this man to commend him to us in this posi tion, or to give him a claim over our consciences? I think we shall And quite the reverse. "I have no personal motive or intent in this except to turn the ears of people I against hiin. At least the people that I know would not let nun teach among them. The case of his divorce by his wife a public property, bo 1 am sure we aro not doing him an injustice by bringini out certain tacts in that case which b)io that he ought to have no claim on the people.

First, his wife testified that his conduct was such that It mado life intolerable to any Christian woman. Second, she also testified as to his improper conduct In relation to other women. Third, his efforts to practice fraud on his wife and his use of the corporation of which he holds control. Fourth, his efforts to evade the payment of alimony to his wife, by fleeing from Pennsylvania to Now York. Fifth, he carries on his work by means of a business corporation.

Besides this you know the trouble brought on by all this among his own people so that he was compelled to promise to do differently. Ihis I may say is the great teacher that we have before us In this citv. 1 feel that It Is Important to say that we have only to wait for three years to see the whole system go to smash. But he is ingenious nnd will try to get out of it. We all know that his system Is falso yet we have to be warned about It.

Pastor Russell's Principles of Interpretation. "Hln principles ot interpretation are first, to spiritualize all the Scriptures that Bpeak of a second advent because he denies a visible appearance. Second, In the moat arbitrary way he makes symbolic every passage of Scripture he Jt-slies and then make it to symbolize Just what he wishes. He goes on developing his theory and has aptitude for bringing in Scripture to make it appear to the unwary fully confirmed by Scripture. Ho takes the dark and obscure passages bet'nuse he can twist them the more easily and thus whips simple-minded people into line.

Furthermore, Pastor Russell is a great Greek scholar. All er-rorists are great Greek scholars. But let me warn you against Greek scholars." Dr. Burridge then went on to show by various examples that Pastor Russell had used his knowledge of Greek to pervert the meaning of certain passages. The dates and subjects of the remaining lectures by Mr.

Burridge on the Russell system are as follows: October i "Mr. Russell's Christ and the Christ of Scripture." Atonement and November 1, "Mr. Russell's Way of Salvation and Second Chnnce."
