MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS. CONSIDERABLE GIFT! CELEBRATE LANDING have minimized their human side and failed to appreciate their wit which have become a part of the nation. I like to keep these men as young men. and not as old dried-tip saints, and by no means as demagogues.

Only two of those who came in the Mayflower were over 60; only nine over 40; only fourteen over 30. Bradford was 31, Miles Standlsh 36, Winslow only 25 and John Alden a stripling of 21. it was pre-eminently a company of young people, and despite the suffering of the winter, wheu the spring came around not ono of them would return in the Mayflower. That seems to me immeasurably expressive of the constructive period ot our history. In the next century Hamilton was only 25 when chosen to the Continental Congress.

RECEPTION BEFORE BANQUET Addresses by Well-Known Men Mark 290th Anniversary of Landing at Plymouth. The two hundred and ninetieth anniver sary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth was celebtated last night by the New Eneland Society of Brooklyn at the Pouch Mansion on Clinton avenue with the annual dinner. This was the thirty-first annual dinner of the society and it went off very happily, as everyone present seemed to know everyone else, and tne gathering was not so large as to be unwieldy. There was an attendance of about 123, which filled the ballroom in which the banquet was held. After discussing the good things on the tables the New Engenders were treated to a feast of reason and a flow of soul which Bparaica throughout with wit, which the guests, with true Yankee humor, enjoyed thor oughly.

The mirror was held up to nature so that the New Englandcrs could see what was thought of them from all points of view, and, while their foibles and idiosyncrasies were laid bare with the keen Ecalpel of wit, their sterling, rock-ribbed qualities were duly praised, to the eminent satisfaction of the listeners. Henry B. F. MacFarland of Washington, the first on the list of speakers, called particular attention to the details of the first winter passed by the Puritans In the colony, and emphasized the fact that they were men and women with all the characteristics, failings and virtues of the men and women of to-day present in the room. Dr.

St. Clair McKelway, who spoke on the topic "New Englanders as See Them," showed that, although the people of New England had made mistakes In their estimates of great men and measures, owing to a somewhat impulsive disposition to form opinions hastily, they were quick to admit the injustice of these estimates, on sober second thought, and to atone for them generously when they saw the error of their ways. The Rev. Dr. L.

Mason Clarke spoke with authority, for two of his ancestors came over in the Mayflower, of "New England's Part in Building the Nation." and the Rev. Dr. A. De W. Mason, who spoke for the St.

Nicholas Society, held his hearers to the last word with his lively descrlpl Ions of the "team work" of the Dutch and the Yankees in Brooklyn. Reception Before the Banquet. The members of the society gathered early and whlled away a pleasant hour in time set for the reception, exchanging greetings, meeting old acquaintances and making new ones. The Rev. Lewis T.

Reed asked the blessing before the dinner. When the dinner got under way the guests found a booklet of songs at each plate, and they joined In them with a will, from "America" to the closing "Auld Lang Syne." The decorations were flowers and small illuminated Christmas trees on the tables, and the favors were in the shape of old-fashioned flintlock blunderbusses. I A. A. WEBSTER CO.

ALLIED BOARDS MEET. Declare Lower Broadway Must Be Included in Any Subway Proposition. At'a meeting in the Johnston Building, Nevins atreet and Klatbush avenue, last night, the Allied Boards of Trade decided that no subway proposition which did not include lower Broadway would be acceptable to that body. This decision was arrived at after some animated discussion between members who were inclined to favor the Interborough and the Trl-bot-ough proposals. Frederick C.

Rowo, the (president of the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line, outlined the plan which his ejompany proposes to carry out in furnishing transit facilities at cut rates, clahWng that of the 800,000 people, approximately, who travel daily over the Wilyiamsburg. Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, 157,000 would patronize the ihre-cent fare line, while 23,000 would H81 the Centre street loop in Manhattan. Mr. Rowe said that his company desired athree years lease of this route resclnd- ble at the city's demand if It found the onccssron unprofitable, whereas the B. R.

proposition was for a twenty years lease -with the privilege of renewal of twenty years more. At the conclusion of Mr. Rowe's address Mr. Killraer, the secretary, moved that the association urge upon the proper officials to take this matter up and th.it the meeting go on record as favoring the Manhattan Bridge three-cent line 'In preference to the B. R.

T. proposition. Jared J. Chambers Bpoke against such "action being taken by the association and voiced his sentiments strongly In favor of the Tri-borough plan, inasmuch as the Manhattan Bridge Three Cent Line did not provide for facilities for lower Broadway. Theodore-' Fritz scored the Public Service Commission for not.

taking care of lower-Broadway and said it was principally due to the conditions in that district that the commission came into existence. The transfer system now conducted by the B. R. T. was severely criticised by the members present, who said that it compelled many to pay two fares to reach their destination and proved a great hardship to many school children.

He voted on his judgment, as a strategist and 3 a soldier, but contrary to his trend for freedom as a man. "I know of nothing more illuminating or educational than thin. I knoiv of nothing more politically strategic than I know of nothing more vindicated by the result than this. It was like Grant to vote as a soldier on his judgment as a soldier. It was like him to vote against Fremont on his judgment of Fremont's limitations.

It was like him to vote for Buchanan on the conviction that the North should mark time, for four years. In order to be able 'to forward march' In 1861. It was liko Grant not to vote even for Lincoln, In I860, for he knew that Lincoln could not fail to be the Democracy being split asun-. der between two candidates. "Much ot Massachusetts was against Grant, until on reconsideration all of it became for him.

And Massachusetts had more reason at first to resent Grant than most states. He displaced Sumner from the Foreign Relations Committee. He removed Motley from the embassy at London.

"The journalistic cast of the New England mind has not been made the subject of comment, but it well could be. The Pilgrim Fathers prepared a statement of their reasons and their faith. Their faith has since widened Into a broader belief and into a larger measurement. But their statement would have been an admirable editorial in a newspaper then, had there been newspapers then, and It Is a bracing tonic for newspapers 'now. "Journalism in a sense iB point of view.

The view may change, for the point may veer. But the comment must have In It the convictions of the writer. The New England conscience is as ready gradually to admit as It Is Instantly to emit light. "Charles Sumner, for instance, wanted emancipation proclaimed beforo it was, and before Lincoln was ready to proclaim it. When, however, the proclamation did come, Mr.

Lincoln sent to him a copy and Indorsed on It. 'I am only three weeks be hind you, Mr. Sumner. A. L.

No wonder Sumner took a carriage at the C-pi-tol went to the White House, and with a broken voice and moistened eyes gave his heart and his hand to Abraham Lincoln! I count tiiat for Charles Sumner, when ever 1 hear anything against him. 1 count it for him when I recall the dry remark of Ebenezer Hoar on Sumner's burial day. 'Are you going to Sumner's asked a neighbor of Ebenezer Hoar. 'No. but I aporove of was the reply.

Before you smile or laugh at that, remember that Mr. Sumner had opposed the choice of Mr. Hoar for a judgeship on the ground that be lacked the judicial temperament. "What rankled In Mr. Hoar's memory unloosed what was in his mind.

Sumner, too, lacked the judicial temperament, but he sought no judgeship and he regarded that temperament as essential to one who did. Only the calm of marble or the Illumination of history reve the whole man. Journalism can do that only when contention ceases and complete estimate can be formed. "Massachusetts was prepared to re-elect Sumner, though he had voted against a second term for Grant. Maine was pre pared to re-elect Fenscnden, though he had voted against the Impeachment of Andrew Johnson.

The deaths of both de feated their re-election, yet the nation knew that Sumner dread of militarism was genuine and the nation now knows that the conviction of Andrew Johnson aud the accession of Wade to the Presi dency by his own vote would have strained security and might have wrenched allegiance. New England Honor for Sumner. and Fessenden. "If New England was first shocked, It afterward was glad that it had been shocked. No men are more honored than are Sumner and Fessenden.

New England is always ready to vote when it is hot and addicted to reconsider, when it is cool. That both Sumner and Fessen den died before reparation came, matters not. New England believes mere Is as much need for her best thought on the other side of the stars as there is here. Even a cursory student can learn from her reconsideration of the God-like Daniel, tho sincerity of the sentimentality of Massachusetts. Whltticr turned back ward from him with averted face to hide the yet Massachusetts has reared a grand monument to him, and may yet rear, hrd by, a monument to the Quaker singer.

t'nenuallv but sincerely she honors both. She is persuaded that each can face the other unshamed in the eternities. There Lincoln walltii not far from Lee, nd there even the widow of Hamilton has forgiven John Adams. "The state knows now that Webster was for postponing then an issuo that needed lo be postponed, until an unready and divided Nonh could meet, unafraid and on fairly even terms, more ready and less divided Soulh. It knows that Webster, In the thirties, formulated the principles armies contested at Vlcksburg, Gettysburg, Atlanta and in Ihe Wilderness.

He was the case-maker and prophet of Union and of Freedom In the Senate. The Ideas of Webster were carried out by the armies of Thomas, of Grant, of Sherman and of Sheridan. They prevailed over the ideas of Calhoun In the armies or Lee. of Johnston, of Buck-ner and of Klrby Smith. "Though Iho first thought of Massachusetts was against Webster, he was in better company than Massachusetts knew.

He was in the company of Grant, though Grunt himself never told his adhesion to Webster's views till he wrote his Memoirs In his death room and sealed tbem with his blood.

"And for whom did he vota? For Fremont, the ami-slavery candidate? No, but for Jamcn Buchanan, the Invertebrate.

Steele, tne presiaent or me society, who acted as toastmaster, said that the Congressman's chauffeur must have lost his way in the Brooklyn streets and gone down Clinton street to Gowanus instead of along Clinton avenue to the dinner, as Mr. MacFarland declared his guide had tried to do.

Before any speeches were made Mr. Steele proposed a toast to the President of the United States, which was drunk standing. Then he said: Toastmaster Steele Begins Speech-making. Ladies and gentlemen and friends of New England 1 most cordially bid you only 38 when they did their great work It seems to me that the fact is that It was the spirit of might, of which the Pilgrims gave only one expression, that has given to our na. tonal character the ei.ergy of hope, undaunted courage and daring.

The toastmaster then introduced the Rev. Dr. A. DeWitt Mason to respond to the toast. "Greetings From Our Sister Societies." He said: Dr.

Mason Speaks for the Dutch, "I want lo say a word for the Dutch because we were very glad to have New Englanders come here, and we made it possible for them to come at last to Brooklyn, for if it had not been for the Dutch at Brooklyn 1 don't see where th New England Society would have come in We made Fulton Ferry for you. aud you came along with vour knowledge ol mathematics and splendid engineering putting up bridges and building tunnels, and our Fulton Ferry Is of very little value now. But the Dutch came to Brook lyn and put their motto, "In unity there is strength," on the city shield, and we have tried to infuse tho people of all nationalities with the same thought over here in Brooklyn: we have just got to go out and got what we want. After tjuite a humorous speech, Mr. Mason concluded by.

saying: "If I do riot stop, now that the time has come for you t') go, I shall find myself in tho position of the man who sent to the editor of a newspaper a poem entitled. 'Why Do I signed by The editor called his stenographer aud dictated this letter: 'The only reason 1 can conceive why you live is that you sent your poem in by mail Instead of bringing it Those who attended the dinner were; Hiram R.

I hold that none of the pictures of the Pilgrims, cither In an oration, picture, poem, painting or statue or comic weekly, is a true picturo of the Pilgrim himself, and so it might be very profitable to look at the Pilgrim as he discovered himself. In the log of the JJ.iyflower, Bradford, the second governor of Plymouth, wrote of the voyage and those early years up to 164C and Senator Hoar said it was the most precious manuscript in the world unA ftnlv nna that enulit excel it would be ono of tn orlgirial Four Uospels if it could be obtained. It Is not ncces sary for us to go so far as that to ap preciate tnat it is one oi uie bikhl uulu-mcnts of our country, and it is to my mind such a perfect picture of the Pilgrim, so that you can see him just as he was, a man of like passions with ourselves, a man very much like th aro here to-nlaht. a man who arted in those circumstances just as these that when he was commissary at the I nBr 22 of 16.000 or 17.000 troops, and that Vib hart if ae that theV were supplied, and he was wondering whether other men of to-day at that age would be able to take care of 16,000 or 17.000 cavalry, and he said: 'If they had to do it they would do It; they would do it," and there is no doubt that the sons of the Pilgrims would do just what the Pilgrims did iu their circumstances.

Beginning of the Pilgrim have said that the Pilgrim has been misrepresented from the beginning to the end. It began back In England when they first thought of going to Hoi land. It Is sa'd that they had to leave every man 'They were farmer folk for the most part and were not prepared for the life In Amsterdam or Leyden or cities of any kind and they resolved to icomo here. Brewster himself was in poverty until ho was able to get some tutoring to do. Then it is said they left Holland because the Dutch didn't want them because they were not good neighbors.

Those things are a misrepresentation. Brewster nas a good deal to Bay about that and has a record of a document kept by the authorities of Leyden speaking of tho difference between those people and the fifty-seven other varieties of refugees who had come there from all over Europe. But they desired above all things the freedom of the spirit and larger freedom, and the only place was the New World with all Its possibilities. "Do you know they almost came to Brooklyn to settle? Why, after they had lighted Cape Cod, after consultation with the master of tho ship, they tacked about and resolved to seek another place. Of course they could not have gone to Manhattan because the Dutch had that, and so they would have come to Brooklyn.

"In spite of all the difficulty they did come to this country and adopted that paper which you have printed In your programme to-night that first statute, that first chapter of democracy In this Now World. They were not. as some have said, unlovely or unlovable. They lived tender and affectionate lives among themselves, and they were kind to others. When one of mariners, who had treated them so badly fell 111 they had compassion on him find helped him.

Then he confessed he did not deserve it at their handB and said, 'See how they lovo one another, Another Old Slander of the Pilgrim Fathers. "We arc told that, 'having fallen upon their knees they then fell upon the Th.it Is an old elHnder, that they drove the Indians out. The reverse If. the fact. The Indians had Blready been stirred up by the French and Spanish and vagrant English, and they we-e ready to attack anybody, and they did attack the Pilgrims.

The Pilgrims treated tile IndlnnB with great, consideration. Through Somerset they made a peace treaty with them that continued twenty-four years. All their relations were uf Hint character, although they were fcu badly treated by the Indians that they had to build a stockade and a fort to preserve the little army of seventeen men under Standlah and preserve the peace by fighting for It. "I hope you will read Bradford's manuscript for yourselves, and when you henr anyone repeating these slanders about the Pilgrims you will simply refer them to that manuscript." Dr. St.

atoned for those errors, to which he had been wrongly advised, by initiatiug arbitration at Geneva, and thus cast ilia great influence forever against war between nations and among men. Massachusetts forgave the lesser errors In recognition of the larger wisdom and James Russell Lowell led the way to the 'rehabilitation of Grant as he did of Grover Cleveland. In the best thought of the Bay State. Commendation for Contemporary New Englanders. "The second thought of New England toward the greatly great has been juster then the first thought of great New Englanders at New England dinners, and in literature toward men greater than themselves.

Contemporary New Englanders are to be much commended for recognition, but are more to be commended for reconsiderations not unmixed with contrition. Webster, Lincoln, Grant and Cleveland could affirm that, and so could Curtis and Fessenden, could our little thoughts be enlarged to the compass and to the realm of their spa-clous and Invulnerable souls. The best of us should seek to propitiate their shades by broadening our minds and humbling our hearts. Let us give to your later poets, to your later orators and to your later authors all tho honor they deserve for the things that are true and Just, and of good report. Let us invoke for them all the toleration to which they are entitled for their fervor and fluency touching what they thought to be true, but what history shows was not all the truth.

My obligation is to a calling which demands continuous affirmation, with no uncertain sound, frequently makes me an unwilling offender against the principles which I may perhaps have too absolutely set down. But with charity toward all and with malice toward none, we can submit the proof-sheets of our lives and of our purposes to the revision beyond the veil, in the hope that our errors of estimate or of oratory or of authorship, on this side, will be considerately condoned and canceled here, and will be forever understood and in nothing misunderstood, where mortality escapes misconstruction and where immortality clarifies the interpretation of motives and the measurements ot men. The toastmaster Our next toast Is: "New England's Part in Building the Nation," to which the Rev. Dr. L.

Mason Clarke will respond. The Rev. Dr. Clarke said: L. Mason Clarke's Address.

"Mr. Toastmastar, Ladles and Gentle menIt Is now 300 years since the eveuts we are celebrating to-night took place, and If Ihero is anybody on the face of the earth who can say a solitary new thing about the Pilgrims, 1 certainly am not that man. Personally. I cherish two or more grudges against the Pilgrims. First, they landed in the Christmas week.

when they might have known better than Impose an unnecessary burden on the clergy of the future at a time when they have all tnat they can attend to wituout the New England dinner. The second thing is that they forbade the clergy to perform the marriage service, and this Is In opposition to the only petty graft which we ministers enjoy to-day, and I am content to say that it was very uncivil in them although they Intended it for a civil marriage "I am very glad to have assigned to mo such a large subject as this, for certainly not one of you will expect mo to say a word on that subject in the five or six minutes allotted to me; and I might add that there are several tbousauds of vol umes written on that theme and 1 reler you all to the perfect libraries where you will find that subject exhaustively discussed. Faithfulness of the Pilgrims. The first thing that strikes me is the faithfulness of this company of Pilgrims. We see them through a haze of time, and they.look like old men with an over-consciousness of Ingrowing piety.

We forget, perhaps, that they arrived on these shores somewhat as business men, notwithstanding their religion, to trado in furs and fish, and not exclusively to sing tangs and go to meeting, and I think wu Meser.ile avenue; HKeily, 495 West One Hundred and Thirtieth street; John Oorry, 119 t'harlea street; Francis Klemau, West One l-Iundred and Ninth street, ail of Manhattan; Jamea MeWilllamr. 622 Court atieet; Thomas Harding, 1327 Inland avenue.

I truBt that you will forgive me if I confine myself to presenting our distinguished speakers without comment. "The first speaker whom I have the pleasure of Introducing is the Hon. H. B. F.

MacFarland. who will respond to the toasi, 'The Pilgrim as He Saw H. B. F. MacFarland's Address.

Mr. MacFarland said: "Ladles and gentlemen I agree with the BlBhop of Kentucky that we hope lo add a line to the Litany, as follows 'From our traducera and introducers, good Lord deliver It is certainly sufficiently embarrassing to -speak before such a remarkably fine audience as this In the city of orators, under the traditions of Beeoher and Storrs, and St. Clair McKelway sitting at the table. By the way. tho first time I 1 uuu tne nonor ot speaiung in nis presence he said that 1 had made a very thorough preparation for the occasion and that he had heard only of such a thorough preparation since he heard of the amateur who was to play the part of Othello and blacked himself all over, so that he could feel himself the part.

It is sufficiently embarrassing In such a presence and in such memories to appear without being introduced with tho istatement that I came from a long dls-lance. which Implies, of course, that I do not come from New England, and really gave away tho fact that I was born In Pennsylvania and live in Washington and properly have 110 at the New England feast. However, I am encouraged by the remark of the Washington girl who. when ashed what sh; would do if a genlleman offered to kls her. said: 'I should meet Iho emergency face to face." 1 walked about New York to-day looking for thn Amorlcan quarter, and found everybody else looking for the American dollar.

I Bee you do not know anythins: about the American dollar In Brooklyn, and I realized that It would b0 a very dellghlful thing to rest this evening in Brooklyn. And when I came Into the daylight zone at thlB end of the bridge 1 fell a soothing influence stealing over me. and my only fear then was that I should not lie able lo keep awalte long enough to make my speech. My theme, however, emboldens me to speak, for I hold brief to-night fop the finest client a lawyer could have. Pilgrim Has Been Misrepresented.

Everybody has talked about tho Pilgrims, and they have oil misrepresented him; his frlenda as well as his enemies. His friends have made him a demagogue with whom he could have no human sympathy, and his enemies call him every, thing ftom a liar to a thief I won't say a lawyer because there ere judges present, and as a member of the Bur I have a wholesome reaped for tho Bench. Still, In all these years (BOO Is it?) orator ufn orator has told what he thought about the Pilgrim Fathers, and In Inter years some nrtista have tried their hiiudi, and so we have a wonderful Pllgrln at Siirinir-licld and some vwndcrful ulclures lu I.
