Commons Bonum. Brooklyn, March 12, 1887. CHRISTIAN WORK IN UTAH. Mr. Bailey's Address ia the Central Con(rre(ratiotial Church.

Central Congregational Church, Hancock street, was flllod last evening with an audlonco gathered to hoar what was to bo said about "Christian Work Among the Mormons in Utah." The Kev. Dr. Bohrends, pastor, made a brief and eloquent introductory address. He said this was tho only nation which had begun its oxtstonco on a distinctly Christian basis. All othor nations had startod out on their career with pagan beginnings.

Ono dark blot disfigured the map of our country. It consisted of an olement which had so far bid do flanco to tho progressive force of civilization ana the surrounding influences of Christianity. It had beon thought that whon tho groat railroads which spannod tho continent passed through tho vory gates of tho Mormon citadel tho social tondencios Incidont to such thoroughfare might oporato to Introduce a hotter stato of morals and somo of tho benefits attendant upon tho toachlnss of tho Lord Josus Christ These anticipations proved to bo premature. Tho present condition of Mormon ism was roportod from a variety of sourcos, one contradictory of tho other, and it was difficult to dotormino what was tho exact truth in the premises. Under theso circumstances the Christian pooplo in this" region would cordially glvo attention to what ono who had been on the spot had to say upon that aspoct of tho subject which related to the progross of faithful and persistent Christian work aud Its influenco upon Mormons in Utah, and especially upon the women.

It seemod to him that the subject appealed to the tondorost sympathies of motherhood, and that tho work in the direction of the mothers in that territory should be encouraged In tho confidence and hopo that tho fathers too, would, bo brought to fool the powor of Christian love and tho beneficont grandour of Christian institutions. With the viow of learning somothlng on tho subject, and of knowing In what way those who wore devoted to tlio work of planting tho Gospel In Utah homos could bo assisted and oncouraged, ho introduced Mrs. Bailey. Mr. Bailey told her story rapidly and eloquontly, giving ovidenco that hor wholo heart was absorbed in tho work of reaching tho Mormon women and mothors of Utah with tho comforting truths and tho enduring comforts of Christianity.

Ono woman informed hor that in Swoden, from which sue camo to tan, the missionaries ot stormonlsm always preachod Josus Christ, but in all tho yoars tnni sne nnu boon in the territory they had preached almost ovorything else, and Christ nevor: aud she longed for tho sound ot tho old timo Gospol. In the schools which had been established in tho territory by the little band of Chrstian women from the East, tho Biblo was used and its lossons continually and persovoringly taught the children. Theso children raugod from very young to those woll up In their teens, aud the lnlluouce of tboso teachings woro carrlod into tho very honrt of Mor moudon. Instances wore numerous of tho success of the work as ovinced lu tho ploadings of mothers wno wero weanod of tho lniquitios and Impostures of Mormonism. Laws for tlio suppression of Mormou institutions might be very woll, but thoy did not provido the unquestioned antidote to the evils of tho Bystem.

Whon peoplo bocomo apostates from the religion of thoir youth they must nave something commended to them which moro that supply tho place of what they had abandoned. Tho speaker doslrod It to be understood that she did not disparage the work of Congress In passing laws on the subject, but It should bo ob served that laws could bo averted, as they were. Men who had expressed their desire to livo in loyal ty to the Government of the United States and to be obodiont to tho laws which requires proper conduct at tneir nanus wero ostracisod anu submitted to all tho consequences of such a condition. It was Important uudor such circumstances not to depend upon what tho law could do. The religion of the loving Christ must bo taught and commendod to theso peoplo, so that their courage might not forsake them and that their influence under a higher order of religious life might be devoted to tho salva tion of othors.

Thero was no safety in more apostaey. From that condition it was possible for pooplo to drift Into other wickedness. It was necessary to hold up the hands of those who were working in Salt Lake City and at Ogden City. There work had been prosecuted, so far, under great disadvantages. Thoy wanted good school accommodation and a headquarters where those who longed to hear the old time liospei and to Do refreshed by the teachings of Jesus Christ might come.

Tho object of hor present mission to the Christian people of Brooklyn was to sooure money to accomplish theonstruction of such a building and its adequate equipment for tho work. She would remind hor hearers that this mossage was indeed an appeal made by God that it was the voice of God pleading for tho uplifting of thousands who wero capable of being reached and who wero entitled to salvation. Tho Kev. Dr. Bohronds oxplainod that, although It had not been previously arranged, it might be best to ask the congregation to contribute as they had opportunity, and a colloetlon was taken.

He announced that all who desired to act in accordance with enlarged views of goneroslty could do so after the service was ended, when they would havo anopportuuity of conversing with Mrs. Bailey. ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION. Aimunl Meeting of the District Grand Committee ot Kings No. 1.

William drossman, a commission merchant, at 77 and 79 Broad street, New York, informed Inspootor Byrnes on Friday that Danlol Jonks, his youthful shipping clerk, was helping himself to tho goods he handled in place of shipping them. The youth was arrestod at his home at 997 Broadway, Brooklyn, and Inspector Byrnos wormed a confession out of him. He said that eight or ton months ago ho thought it would be a good plan to steal part of the contouts of a case of watches before they left his hands. Ho filled the case with something heavy instead. Not long after this he kept tho money given him to pay the express charges on the goods he shipped and marked thom "collect," and he has been acting on that principle evor since.

Recently ho tried the watch trlok on a case of re volvers, but the trick was discovered before tho case left the premises. It is supposed that ho has stolon $4,000 or $5,000 worth of goods and money, THE "qUEBN'8" RESIDENCE BOBBED. The residence of Sarah Krebsbach, in the rear of 442 Graham avonue, was burglariously en tered botween the hours ot 7 and 11 P. M. yesterday and robbed of $45 inlbllis.

Mrs. Krebsbach, who Is known in the neighborhood as the "Quoon," hoops a saloon in the front building. Sho was absent dur. lng the hours named yesterday, and when she returned home found that the rear window had been forced. Some of the habitues of her saloon aro suapeoted.

The majority oi her customers are a rough lot. Tho saloon is opposite the Sixth sub Preoinct Station. HE COULD CSS HIS DUKES. When Acting Sergeant Williama and Pa trolman Atkinson, of the Sixth sub Precinct, found Thomas Broderlok this morning, on Metropolitan ayenuo, he was lying on two email children on whom ho had fallen. Ho was very drunk and was taken to tho station with difficulty.

When presented to Sergeant Corwln he manifested a disposition to fight all hands. I was In the Army," ho said, "and can use my dukes." After giving his ago as 49 and his residence as Metropolitan avenue, ho was es corted to a ceil notwithstanding bis strenuous objection. FOB BBS. COORTKKY'8 BENEFIT.

ltev. John W. Ohadwick, of the Firat Uni tarian Church, will deliver the annual address at tho British Unitarian Ministers' Conference In London on June 8 Discourse at tho Fleet Street Methodist Church by Dr. Pardlugrton. A large audience assembled at the Fleet street Methodist Church last evening to liston to Dr.

Pardlngton's discourse on The Causes for Dishonesty." Dr. Fardlugton has for somo weeks past been delivering a series of popular sormons on pertinent topics of the day and last evening's sermon was one of tho most latoreatlng of tho series. Ho said In substance: Iu tho 20th cnaptor of Exodus and at the 18th voi'so we read: "Thou Shalt not steal." In the 13th chapter of Romans wo And theso words: "Owe no man anything, but love one another In sincerity and truth." I think that this congregation will boar mo witness that this pulpit, as a rulo, rings out with tho uospel pure and simple. At times, however, It becomes necessnry for a minister of the Gospel to doal with some quostions that are, por baps, hardly within the line of Gospel preaching. I havo ono of theso subjects with which to deal tonight.

Had I announcod what I prnposo to do this evening, or what I proposo to say to you here, this room would scarcely have hold the congregation. There are somo things which at times occur in financial circles and In social lifo aud in tho family lifo of tho church which fall upon us liko a thunderbolt from a clear sky. Often that which some of you havo boen talking and thinking and wondering about comos upon you liko a thuudorbolt from a cloar sky. A man 13 yoars of ago, known to all of yon a9 a man who was trninod In the Sunday school religiously, and who was converted at tho altar of tho ehureh and so professed; who was a loador in religious oxercises In tho church; who was In ohargo of a mission of the church, who conducted mission servicos in tho church nnd in the Jail and In the Penitentiary; a man of qulot habits; a lover of his homo and devoted to his wifo and children, honored and esteemed in the companionship of his best frionds a man whom many rognrdod It safo to trust, who by his best friends was uncompromisingly rocommended as worthy of confidence, is sud donly discovered to be a liar of tho deepest dyel A defaulter, an embozzler, a forger, a fugitive from Justice, arrested and coufessod to his pastor long beforo he confessed to tho judgo all that was.chargod against him convictod and sentencod to five years at hard labor in Sing Sing all this fell among us liko a thuudorbolt from a clear sks'. Tito few lessons I proposo to bring out to night aro baBOd upon what I havo said.

Casesof defalcation, forgery and broaches of trust and high crimes among men of supposedly responsible standing, of religious profession, who were pillars in tho church, conspicuous in charitable, ecclesiastical aud evangelistic work, have occurred and do occur occasionally. They aro painful and thoy aro staggorlng to public confidence. It is a fact that men, while doing deeds for which they are suffering penalties In State Prison now, dldon the tsabbath day exhort sinners to Christ and sing songs which cheered the hearts of tho martyrs. Thoy woro giving away money and handling it obtainod under falso pretenses. I say that those things aro startling; wider in their shame from tho cause of Christ than Peter's don al of his master, than the betrayal of Christ by Judas, than the apostaey and mo lying or Annnlas in thoir resnectlvo ages.

Those things make the Christian world pause and wonder and somo ono will say, "Aha I tho church is no bettor than the world." If you say that you should bo ashamed of yourself for Jumping at so nasty a conclusion ana lor striking your Lora Christ In the faco in that way. An admitted Chris tian says, The world Jeers at those things." Of course thero are liars, yot, though tho world mny Jeer, thore is an abundance of good gold, tried in tho flro of tho church, and sinnors know it norfoctlv well. If church members are no better than othor mou of tho world why is it that tho world is so shocked whon Christians, or those who profoss to be Bucn, no tnese tuings. Tno very, tact or a protossor of Christianity doing those things shows that the church Is above tho world, else why should it croato bo much more of a surprise than it the same acts were committed by mon of the world? Y'et if you will look at the statistics in those matters you will find that the percentage of profossod Christians who commit those crimes is so small as to warrant your confidence to tho utmost in Chris tian mon. It hardly amounts to more than the number of deaths In the United States from lightning, and perhaps it would be.a good thiug for the men and for the church if the lightning were to strlko all these professors of Christianity, because thoy do theso things which not only disgraco tuem soluos, their families and their friends, but the church of God also.

You must romombor that honesty and honor do not die In this world when those mon fall. You must not forgot that In the rapid fluctuations in business matters in these days It somotimes becomes absolutely necessary for men to assign tnoir business and pay only su cents on the dollar, and yet cases, whore tho mou nro honest, In paying that nercentaee they leave not a dollar for themselves to livo upon. An honest man, it ne retrieves ins tost tortune in after years, will go back and pay his creditors evory dollar he owed thorn. We havo tho great example of Goorgo I. faonoy, the philanthropist, who has returned to Brooklyn and paid off every dollar he evor owed.

with intorest Bless God for that Men are not dishonest, as a rule, in this world. Men aro honest A leading banker said recently: "Such la my confidence In the average man that I would bo willing to take a man from the street as the crowd passe3 and put him in charge of my vaults and say to him, "Sir, the vaults are open; I want you to watch it for an hour. And" eald ho, "not one In one hundrod would betray the conddenco." I tell you, my friends, to night that tho avorage mau is honeBt from tho top of his head to the soles of his feet wo aro not ail disnonest Blossed be God. honesty Is not a lost art Look at the ministers a little, for we havo had a little scandal among tho ministers of lato. Thoy are a very much abused class of men.

I do not say this as a minister, but as a citizen. There are some Becular newspapers who hunger after some little thing about a minister and thon magnify It a hundrod fold. Thore are 80,000 ministers actively engaged In the ministry in the United States, and tho average number who wont astray in ono year was one out of every 0,500. The other were true to the trusts reposed In them. It uas uoonsaia tnat a young man must eata oiisn for hlmsolf a character before ho roaches tho age of 25 yoars which will either shower blessings and happiness upon him for the remainder of his life or ruin him.

Bo careful, young man, how you form habits. Avoid contracting a love of money: this Is the first stop that counts in a young man's history. Judas lovod monoy. Ho resolved to sell the Lord for thirty pieces of silver. He watchod his oppor tunity ana ootrayea tno Lord, and then, from remorse, went and cast himself from a precipice.

If I want a homo. I must have monov: if I desire a horse and carriage, I must have monoy; I desire to mxo a trip to tturopo, i must nave money; i dosire to surround myself with tho comforts of a home, I must have monoy; I rjoslro to marry, I must havo monoy not bo much of It, howevor, as somo of the young people seem to think necessary. If I desire all these things or more and I hate work, I must havo mouey and I must got it iu some other way. Men will get up early and Bit up lato for monoy. Interests of the family and of tho home will be sno rltlcod for monoy; intorests of tho soul will bo sacrificed for money Six days are not enough for mo: 1 will go to my placo ot business and onen mv mail on tho Sabbath day; 1 will take a horse and drive over the city looking up real ostate on Sunday.

I will stoal the Sabbath day from God for monoy. if 1 were to paint picture of American characteristics to day though I am not much of a painter, I would take a sheet of canvas and a pot of black paint aud I would paint that canva3 black; thon I would take a bruBh with yellow paint andpalnta hand on the dark background, representing tho grasping for gold, aud 1 think I would have done the subject amplo Justice. Young man, avoid lying. One little lie may not amount to much, you think, especially if it is not dlscovored, but usually a lie once told a huudrod moro will havo to bo told to keop it up, uutil finally you will find yoursolf moro willing to He than to toll the truth. 1 quote a trito gem from the saying3 of.

the late Rev. Henry Ward Boochor illustrative of this: "A He is cheap at the bogiuulng of a man's reputation, and it dooa not suffer if thero be no detection of his lying and no discovery of his crime, but that lie will burn as well as any other wick. But a lie is a vory short wick In a very small lamp." One lie will lead to another and another and another, until that ono lie becomes tho gorm of a thousand othor lies. Let not a taint of suspicion, my frionds, evor touch your character or your reputation. If you do you novor can make your character or your reputation as sweet as It was boforo.

The mlrltor closed by relating somo incldonts In tho caroers of some of the most noted parsouagos of this and former ages who mado Christian lifo records. He roferrod to tho works of John Wosloy, who said that a young mau should niako all the monoy ho could without injuring his sou 1, and thon, after providing for his own necossltios, to give all ho could to othors. THE BROOKLYN TEMPERANCE UNION. Its Meeting: iu He Eaut Congregational Church. Tha weekly imbs meeting of tho Brooklyn Temperanco Union was hold in tho East Congregational Church last night Thoro was a crowdod house.

Mrs. F. V. Douglas, who dellvored tho principal address, called special attention to the various efforts being made iu and out of the Legislature to restrict or suppress tho drink system. Mon wero perplexed, she said.

Meanwhile tho system was as firmly rootod in socioty and in the government as if no protost had been mado. She. however, saw signs of an awakened public senti ment iu lavor or temperance, ana tuis was a good onion. Tho Amorican poople had nevor yot failed to remove great evils wnen onco tuorougniy aroused, as In the case of tho abolition of slavery: but she had frequently said that It took a huudrod yoars or more to make thom see It and she wondered If it would take as long a time for them to see that this greater evil, the saloon in society, was a pest, a nuisance, destructive of public welfare and that it cauea tor prompt action to get ria oi it Superintendent Douglas Bald that he was glad to see sucn a largo auaienco ana such an interest takon in these Sunday evoning mass meetings. Thoy wore held lu the Interest of the churches and of the city at largo.

Ho omphasized two thoughts which he said were rarely controverted by any except those pecuniarily Interested in the saloon; namely: that Indulgence In Intoxicants as a beverage tended to produce physical, intellectual and moral detorloation: and second, that it was an incubus in tho community which ought not to be toieratou. Deacon Main, a loading member of theohurch, pleased the audience with his earnestness and witticism. He said he had fought this drink demon since 1832, and his intetest had not flagged one iota. Ho thought it wicked to talk politics In a church on Sunday, and he was reminded by Superintendent Douglas that the Brooklyn Tomnerance Union was non partisan; but he did want to havo a fling ai uiu politicians. Homing wouia please mm better than to have their consciences so aroused that they would turn over seven tlmeB in bed every night He expiossed his pleasure In having such a good meeting In his ohuroh, and thought the jjiuuaijiu luuipuruiico union just aoout rignt xne next mass meeting will bo next Sunday evening In Trinity P.

In tlio course of hia sermon ho said: It is an nxiuint of tho Chinese Government that When, in any province, tho subjects robul, tho local tmthorilloH .11 fmiH, iimsiii not! as a jiooplo woll governed will tie obedient. This leitkil assumption might be adorned Uit 1 the of Chri.itioui virtues without imurv to tlio limi of faith. It la aUJeast an open question wlieihrr tho inlminis tratirm of piti.lic trusts in Christendom 13 ho far in advance of heathen motliO'li ai to Justify our conceit.

'I hoy therefore tho hill, ami that tho natives were mon ami not children and should be treated ns It should bo left to their discretion to determino how much brandy thov should drink. Tlio bill was defeated. Soon afterward another bill win introduced proposing to give tho ballot to tho native and the.e Christian poliliel'ine who had defeated Die first bill said No the natives aro aota and aro until for citizenship." Christian Knglnnd uses anno of tho richest Boil of I nd ia for tho production of opium, and forces It upon tin' markets.

whito tlio papaii Chi xioso Government destroys it rather than havo tho poison used by its subjects. I do not mi au to intl malo by those historical references thai tho virtues of paganism are superior 10 tho.j.e of Christianity. I mean simply to illustrnto tlio fact that tho art or science of incorporating Christian virtues Into laws and institutions is still very far from absolute perfection. Our fuiuiametitril theory Is that the of a popular, majority is the only possible basis of a constitutional government: ami Hint, ovil as may hollio occasional consequences of entrusting tho decision of political questions to political ignorance, tlioy form tlio necessary price of political freedom. This principle works with tolerable ease in rural districts and among intelligent electors, who ehooso their most honest and capable neighbors to act for them.

But Its application to the government of groat cities is certainly 0110 of tho unsolved problems of our time. Indeed the etToet of tho marvelous aggregation of modern cities on national and human woll being ro xnalns to be seen. Nearly one half the present population of the United States dwell iu cities and largo vlllagos and the most rapid increase occurs in the most crowded centers. The pheuomoual growth of sneh communities as Now York, Brooklyn and Chicago is a matter of boast to the optimistic school Of statisticians; to others it soems an occasion for grave anxiety. The investigation now going on In respect to our own municipal affairs, togotiier with tho frequent charges of corruption iu other great cities of this country, show us that political enfranchisement is riot a sanativo.

Our professional reformers have not reached tho root of tho matter. As compared with tho condition of former centuries and foreign countries there is doubtloss much in the attitude and tendencies of American civic life to on oourage us, much that throws a ehooring light upon tho problem of self government, though it is by no means all sunshino oven horo. Asido from tho question ns to whether tho masses of "unimportant peoplo" aro being bruUilizod by "ovil communications" faster than they can bo civilized by schools, and churches, 110 one will deny that theso gigan tic citi'03 aro a constant menaco to tho rights of property and the stability of republican institutions. The intordopondenco of each soction and Interost requires that thoy should bo regarded as units, but tho practical diflioulty of so regarding them has thus far been painfully apparent. Tho task of providing for tho police, tho health, street traffic, the lighting, the water supply of 800, 000 or 1,000,000 of human beings, huddled togethor liko ants in an ant hoap, is a duty too complicated for any such local governmental machinery as wo have hitherto been able to creato; and yet to divide this task among half a dozen separate and independent departments is to Insure inofllcioiicy, wasto and failure.

Dr. Canflold had no professional opinion to offer on the prosent legislative Investigation, but he was vory suro that so long as a handful Of astuto wire pullers wero permittod to choso tho candidates and pledged them beforehand, 50 long as a hundred thousand "uulmportaut" peoplo merely ratify the action of a hundrod "important" politicians, tho trouble would continue iu some shape or Other, llo could seloet loss than a hundred men in the City of Brooklyn, who, If thoy could bo por Buaded, bribed, to keep silent till next election day and give no counsel on political alTairs, the majority of tho voters would not know what to do, bo unaccustomed are theytojudgo for thomsolvos iu this respoct. LESSONS FROM MR, BEECHER'S LIFE. A Sermon in the Lee Avcnne Conffreta. tional Church A congregation which crowded the Lee tvonue C'ongrogatioual Church, at the corner of Hooper street, to its doors last ovoning, listened to a sermon by tho pastor, the Kev.

Henry A. Powell, on "Some Lessons From the Lifo of Henry Ward Beeoher." The preachor took his text from Isaiah 111:1 2: "For behold tho Lord of Hosts doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah tho mighty man." Tho greatest man who evor lived within the limits of our city, said Mr. Powoll, and one of tho greatest our land has over produced, Henry Ward Boochor, lios low in tho coffin. His name was woll known throughout the entire civilizod world. He was in many rospects tho great preacher of our own age and one of tho greatest of all ages.

All tho charms and gracos of oratory wore blended In and about his personality. His vocabulary was almost cooxteusivo with Wobstor's Unabridged Dictionary aud his rhetoric as polished as a blade of Damascus stool. Many of his sentences wore beautiful mosaics, worthy to bo compared with tho poetic goms of Byron, Moore and Tennyson. His voice had as many stops as tho largest organ, and added to these was a personal magnetism which undermined all opposition aud never failed to make his audience en rapport with the speaker, In his theology ho was exceedingly broad and he took many positions which to more conservative men seemod perilous. But while men may dissent from much of his theology tlioy must admire tho spirit which animated him.

Instinctively the great preacher dospised ovorything that was small aud mean. For men to oxpond thoir tlmo in discussing tho number of candles that should burn upon tho altar during communion, while there wero hungry mouths to bo fed and fallen men aud women to bo lifted up, seemed to his practical mind an unpardonablo wasto of opportunity, llo felt that it was a part of his mission to oxpose tlio folly of those who think only of creed and aro oblivious to tho active duties of Christian manhood. His sympathies wero as broad as humanity. The outcast had no truer friend and the oppressor had no more unflinching foo. No groat wrong ever lifted its hydra head and darted out its poisoned fangs but that lightning liaBhod out of Plymouth pulpit to aid in the work of striking It down.

And now that tho wondrous voice is hushed, now that tho loving heart has grown cold, that has now that the great soul has returned to God, tho Glvor, lot us stand beside the ilovrer gar Tho landod cofllu and loarn of God's ways. speakor next dwelt upon Mr. Beoehor's robust manhood and said any analysis of his powor which omittod that would bo incomplete. There is a close inter relation of soul and body, tho proacher continued, which makos tho body a part of man's religious life. Early In the history of the Church asceticism camo in and hegau to exert a widespread In fluonco.

In many lustancos it changod Christianity, which was iuiondod to be a bright and Joyous faith, into a ghastly and blooding sacrifice. Jn tho Scriptures God said to men, "Restrain your bodies," aud mou said among thomsolvos, "Wo shall pleaso God if we abuse our The Puritans unconsciously revived and cultivated this sentiment In another form. Thoy thought to please God by emaciated form and solemn visago. In Bhort, for one to havo a poorly built body was, by some strange process of reasoning, construed to be a sign of groat godliness; and our thoological schools havo been operated largely upon tho same low piano. They 1111 men up with theology, just as you would pails with water.

Thoy taught him tho Hobrow verb aud the Grook roots, aud loft him in total ignorance as to the use of his volco and the preservation of his health. It was immaterial what became of those, so long as he could conjugate tho Hobrow vorb correctly aud had clear ideas of tho differences betwoen orthodoxy and holrodoxy, and a good deal of the world's gloomy theology Is tho result of this tendency. Men with diseased livers and enlarge! spleens have miu glod thoir pains and foars with their thoughts of God and then labeled the mlxturo theology. Our bodies aro God's gifts, and it is our duty to train them for his service. Again, Iioeeher was a man of profound trust in God.

The preacher hero went on to show that Mr.Heochor had not taught Unl tarlauism or denied tho doctrine of the atonement, but that his words had suffered great misconstruction. Continuing, he said: Tho koy to Mr. Beocher's eutiro lifois tho fact of his sublime trust in God. This made him caroloss about tho miuor details of theology. He was willing to leave tho solving of mauy problems to God, and doomed it inexpedient for men to bother their heads about them.

It was this confidence in the Divine which made Mr. Beecher iudiffoietit to a good deal of man's theology. His inclination was to say, "Why aro you troubling yourself about those things; why don't you go on and do your duty as a man and trust these to God." And, perhaps, there is wisdom In such a life if wo can but develop sufficient God trust to carry It out Again, Mr. Beecher was a man of supreme moral courage. Society sometimes goes wrong as well as the individual.

It hows the kneo to falso gods, smile3 upon iniquitous oppressions and refuses to right gigantic wrongs. And woo be to tho man who daros face socioty, charge It with its crimes and cry halt. It will hlsa and howl, bespatter him with foulest mud and smite him to death with stouos if ho dare. And yet It is men who have the moral courage to declaro the truth regardless of consoquences who aro the moral saviors of tho world. To this class of men Mr.

Beecher belougod. When he clearly peicolved a wrong tho alliod forces of earth aud hell could not Keep him silent After speaking of Mr. Beecher's connection with tlio antl slavery movement, the preacher continued: In tho darkoit hours of our national life it was ho who orossod the billowy ocean and stemmed tho swift currout of English sentiment, thon adverse to liberty and the Union. Ascending the rostrum what was the vision which greeted his eye Not the sympathetic facos of woll wishers, but the scowling glaucos of angry men. His first words were groetod with yells of hato and shouts of derision.

A faint hoartod man would havo turned and fled: not so Mr. Beochor. By his goodnature be oonquored oppoBition, by his eloquence ho swept their hearts until no good chord was left untouched, nnd by his Ingle he, one mau, standing alone, subdued thousands. Such men, men who dnrod to do right, no mattor what may como, are the pillars of strength by means of which God upholds a selfish and corrupt world. The seorot of this moral courage waa tho man's unbounded confidence In God, and tho power which made him strong to llvo made him brave to die.

It was meet that thoro should bo no crape but only flowers: floral crosses, symbolic of tho foundation of his life; anchors, typical of tho hopo which never fails, and crowns, suggostivo of tho glory of tho Great Being aud whero redeemed men shall live with God. I'or death to tho Christian is not a defeat but Bupreme victory, through Joaus Christ, his Lord. JIENRY WAltD BEECHER. A Memorial Sermon by tho Iter. Duncan The Carroll Park M.

E. Church was crowded last evening by members of tho congregation and othors assembled to listen to a discourse by the pastor, tho Kev. Duncan MacGregor, on Henry Ward Beecher, his Arena and Stroke Among Hon; his Pedestal aBoaconln History." Ho said: I stand In the shadow of the death of Henry Ward Beeoher a shadow of doath that covorod the mortality of Brooklyn's most gifted cltlzon.tho pulpit's most gifted oracle, America's foremost patriot, the century's Brett'68' humanitarian, the world's largest hearted man and history's newest study. A shadow fell on those hands and two mighty rolief agencies In tho midst of humanity dissolved. One of the most sturdy and graceful pillars under our civilization fell whoa Boooher dropped his pen.

A shadow A Union Mass Meeting in the Eastern District. Brooklyn Described as an Unchurchly City of Churches Owners of Brown Stoae Fronts Who Do Not Attend Divine Service A Bartender's Confidence in an Unwary Clergyman. A union service in the interest of the Brooklyn City Mission and Tract Socioty was held last evening by tho congregations of tho Rosa street Prosbytorian, Bedford avenue Reformed and 9t John's churches, In the edifice of the lattor society, at tho eornor of Bedford avenue and Wilson street Tho spacious auditorium and gallorles wore crowded and camp stools were used in tho aisles. Tho servicos included special music by the choir, prayers and tho singing of hymns. The Rov.

Watson L. Phillips, pastor of St. tohn's Church, mado the opening address. He wolcomod tho congregations of tho sister churches and said that ho was glad to have with them tho representatives of tho Brooklyn Mission and Tract Socioty, who aro wen anu tavorabiy known by tho entire community. Thoy wero mot for a most important pur pose, to aid In bringing under church influence those outsldo of it.

It might not look well In a Chrisllau community to havo to acknowlodgo the uocossity for doing such things, but such was the case. He hoped tho solution was near at hand when tho unchurched portion of the community would bo brought under cuurch lnlluonce. The figures presented to us from time to timo Indicating tho growth of our city hardly enable us fully to comprehend the groat lncroaso iu recent years, an increase be yond cnuren accommodation, for thero was not room enough in tho sacrod odileos for more than a third of our population. This fact was of tromon dous import as affeeting the future wolfare and prosperity, of our groat city. Thousands of porsons in this city wero beyond church influenco, and the present was tho only city mission society thoy had aud it was, he was informed, doing good work.

According to tho Mayor's annual message permits for new buildings wore Issued last yoar; the approximated increase of population was 20,000 and 146 liquor licenses were issued more than the previous year. Ono now saloon was oponod for evory 170 persons. It is difforont with thochurchos; they havo not kept pace with tlio Increase aud they could not to day, if filled, hold more than one third of the community. Christian people wero scaicoly alivo to tho situation. Tho city wa3 favorably located, with tho green flolds of Long Island presenting room for greator pojiulatlon and dovolopmont at its back.

So it behoovod thotn to bo up and doing or It would bo delivered over, bound hand aud foot, to pooplo who moan ovil to it. Tho problem was not municipal reform, but tho roachlug of the unchurched, almost paganized, masses outside of Christian influence What are wo goiug to do about it 7 Unless wo bestir oursolvos this fair heritage of ours wnioh was given us will pass into control where darkness aud shadows of death pass. The Christian peoplo should be alivo to tho responsibilities which rest upon them and tho Christian conscience of this comrauulty should be awakened. Pooplo of wealth in tho churches should givo a portion of it to help Christianizing this community. It wo rightly appreciate the blessings wo have it should bo our greatest honor and highest privilogo to labor to make this a Christian city.

Aftor making soino further remarks the speakor introduced tho Rov. Dr. E. P. Torhuno, of tho Bodford avenue Reformed Church.

Dr. Torhuno said among other things that tho question of tho tlmo was tho evangelization of tho masses and whoever could best point out the way to do it would bo a truo philanthropist, because ho would confor a great blossing on humanity. Ovor 3,000 churches mentioned by the previous speaker wore not half filled Sundays and thore was somo cause, somo reason, for this. Labor and other Interests clashod and thero was a good deal of ill feeling, the poor believing that the rich only wanted them as howors of wood and drawers of water. Tho30 things cannot bo regulated until all are brought under goBpol influenco.

We must get at tho hearts of those people. Wo have line, beautifully decorated, stained glass windowed churches, but tho masses wo want to gather in rogard them as prisons nnd say if thoy ontored thoy would ho placed in poor sinners' pows. Christ choso his disciples from among fishermen who labored among the poor. Tho preacher next told of the good work of the Rev. and Mrs.

SfcCall in Paris, and how through their humblo offortB thore are now twenty six Evangelical churches In tho French capital, while thoro woro only three not many years siuco. Brooklyn was an unchurchly City of Churches. He know porsons living in brown stone houses on Bodford avenue who have not a sitting in any church. Ho was anxious about tho future of the church in this regard. Many parents thought that it was sufficient to Bond thoir children to Sunday school, but the Sunday school cannot take tho place of the church, which was tho proper placo for young and tho old.

Ho was anxious to know what was to become of tho church fifty years hence. Wo are being ground to piocos between tho upper millstone of Romanism and the lower millstone of Atheism. Tho Kev. W. F.

Bainbrldge, superintendent and secretary of tho society, was tho next speaker. He arguod that tho citios wore the centers in which tho work of evangolization should bo carried on. In Brooklyn tho percentage of for olgu population was very large and the same was true of Now York City, which contains moro peoplo than many States of tho Union. One fourth of the population of this country to day lived in municipalities, while the proportion some years ago wae only one twolfth. In the citios we find all tho great social and religious influences, and great political questions aro mooted in thorn.

We find religion and irreligion at Its best In cities. Tho majority of tho foreign population was ignorant and could not distinguish botweon liborty and license and hated law. Education, however helpful, was not equal to tho task of romodylng this ovil; evangelization alone could do it The speaker next related his experience In Africa and Japan, and asserted that there were more house to house visits In mission work in the cities there which, ho named than In Brooklyn. Ho pictured tho vices and temptations which besot young men in this city and by way of illustration stated that ho went to a place with the name "reading room" painted on some part of it to get a 15 bill changed and found himself In a barroom. bartender had not sufficient change, but he offered to let him have a drink or a cigar until the noxt time hecallod.

Such places stood between tho boarding house, whero so many of our young mon and j'oung women live, and tho church. If Christian men and women did their duty Brooklyn would be mado In fact as woll as In name the City of Churches. Continuing he said that the socioty was doiug good work considering Its slender resources, but boforo long ho hopod to see fifty Instead of twenty six, as at prosent, qualified missionaries working for tho Lord In all sections of this city. The socioty was ready to rocelve genorous contributions to its treasury, but it also wanted tho co operation of tho churches. Mrs.

W. F. Bainbrldge, wife of tho previous sponker, onswored tho question as to how to roach tho unovangolizod In the cities by saying that it was through tho mothor who rocked the cradle and governed the home, and such homos must be roachod one by one, by women of education and refinement, Christian women who know how to touch tho hearts of tho occupants aud sympathize with them. Theso godloss homes must bo visited. Hun dreds of women camo to her and offorod thoir serv ices but they could not be accoptod, as.tho Christian womon of moans havo not come up to the measure of their responsibility.

The speaker suggested plan by which sufficient money could be raised. Euch lady bolonging to a church iu the city could glvo 5 conts a month and lnduco her friends to do tho same; and in this way enough money could bo raised to carry on effectively tho good work. A lady could save ono car faro on a short rldo In a month, so thon sho would bo at no loss. Tho speakor would furnish necessary cards for all who handed iu, after tlio services, or forwardod their names to her. A collection was taken up at tho close.

IVcw Improvements Contemplated. Forty one new members have beon addod to tho roll of the Greonpolnt Young Men's Chris tian Association. This increases the member ship to 130.

ino momoora or tno association are greatly oncouragod by the interest that has been taken In it since the recout opening of Its hand somo rooms on Groenpoint avenue. Applications for membership are being constantly received, aud tho future of the association promises to bo one of groat usefulness to tho section of the city in which it has its home. Meetings are held ovory Sunday afternoon, which are largely attended. The exor cises at theso consist of singing and brief addresses by voluntoors. Tho open lot at tho sido of the rooms has boon routod and will be used for lawn tenuis and croquet.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION. The Quiet Interment of a Troublesome Topic. At yesterday's raeoting of the Central Labor Union, la tho Labor Lyceum, Mr. Bloch, of tho Central Labor Union of Now York, asked for infor mation concerning the payment of $1 by tho mom. bors of tho bakers' union of this city to tho Pythag oras Han fund of District AS3ombly49.

In tho opinion of the dologatos of the union the object of the quostlon was to croate trouble between tho Brooklyn Central Labor Union and District Assembly 49, and, acting on this opinion, the union referred the matter to the Grievance Committee. The members of tho committee say that it will rest there. A committee was appointed to settle, If possible, the trouble which is threatened betwoen the car drivers and conductors and the union. FUNERAL OF PETER BAItKKB. The funeral of Peter J.

Barker, a well known young reiident of the Fourteenth Ward, took place yesterday afternoon from the residence of hie brother in law, Hugh O'Brien, 108 North Fifth street The deceased, who was 28 years old, had been, since he attained his majority, quite active in polltica in the ward and was for somo years an Inspector of primaries. A large number of friends of the family and of tho deceased, Including the members of tho J. J. Dunn Association, attended tho uneraL Tho lutormont took place in Calvary Cemetery. A SUGGESTION FROM SUBORDINATES.

The officers of the Seventh Precinct havo tendered a vote of thanks to Mr. Jerry A. Wernberg for his successful defenBO of Patrolman Gallagher, who was recently acquitted by a Jury In the Court of Sessions of the charge of assault In the second degree proforrod against him by Patrick Keenau, Officer Gallagher was tried before Police Commissioner Carroll on tho same charge and fined ton days' pay. Some of his associates, in view of his acquittal by a Jury, say that they think It would be a graceful act on the Commissioner's part to acknowledge that ho prejudged tho case and remit the line. GOSPEL TBHPEBANCE MEETING.

A Gospel temperance meeting was held yesterday afternoon In tho Orobard Primitive Metho dist Church, on Oakland street, of which the Rov. W. IL Yarrow Is pastor. The meeting was addressed by Mr. B.

Douglas, the general secretary of th Brooklyn Temporanoe Union, who was attentively Hatenod to by a largo gathering. Correspondents Consider Interesting Subjects. A Plea for People Who Have to Work Hard on Sunday More About a Labor TronWe Mosquitoes The Help Question. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The transaction of business and opening of a groat number of stores on Sunday Impresses ouo's mind with the lack of religious sentiments of tho inhabitants of Brooklyn. Although tho law Is clear and concise and cannot bo misinterpreted, thero seems to exist a criminal negligonco on tho part of the legallyconstitutod authoritfo3 to onforco tho samo, and this ovorloeklng, this toloration, this censurable Indifference, results In the torturo, for such it can be adequately termed, of thousands of hard working men, who.

are obliged to work tho whole weok, from early morning until 9 or 10 o'clock at night. Add to this tho compulsion of the employers who force thoir holp to violate defiantly the Sunday law by keeping them at work from 7 A. M. until 1 P. M.

and later on Sundays. Under such a pressure thero Is no wonder that a man's vitality Is soon exhattstod aud he bocomos stuplflod by the continual confinement in places whero tho pure rarifled air Is an unknown olomont Now, I bollovo that tho law Is mado for and by tho peoplo, and whothor defective or not It ought to bo observed, for In its observation lies the security of the Individual and the solid foundation of well organized and intelligent communities; but if those upon whom tho people have delegated the authority to administer it are deaf to their Just appeals, little appreciating that they have boen olevatod to a position of trust and honor through the people's suf frages, then it is tlmo for tho public to realize that in eolecting a representative they must solect carefully, nnd bo suro to elect only mon who will assure thoir support toward ameliorating tho conditions of the overworked clorka and salosmen and tho working classos gonerally by enforolng tho Sunday law. A Victim. Brooklyn, March 10, 1B87. KO WORSE THAN MEW JERSEY.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: Believing that you would not knowingly mis Btato anything in relation to the Sunny South, I beg to bo allowed to contradict what you call Facts and Hints" on Florida In your vory Interesting paper of Sunday, tho 20th ult, that tho dark side of Florida Is said to bo malaria and mosquitoes. As to the Drat thero Is not any moro horo than 13 to be found In New Jersey or Staton Island moreovor, It is of a milder typo, and can bo kept out of tho system by generous living and care. Mosquitoes we have, but only In their season, as at the North, and thoy are not as voracious as those to bo found on tho New Jersey coast Atter sovoral years' experience in this glorious State I do not hosltato to venture the opinion, that if intending sottlers will only enter at the proper time, I. after thoro has boon a frst or on or about Docomboi' 1 and this will apply to any tropical country ho can llvo as long, keep as healthy and gain an independence, without which life Is not worth having, on loss capital and with less labor than in any othor Stato in tho Union. John b.

Wade. Federal Point, March 7, 18S7. MEASURING IHSTEAD OF WEIGHING. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle I notice in your paper several articles lately on short weights In coal delivered by several dealers in Brooklyn, and tho method suggested of having the 'coal, while in the carts, driven to a public scale to be weighed. This might seem to be a very good way out of the difficulty, but I think would be found on trial to entail too much labor.

Why would not the cubic contents of the space of a ton or any number of tons of the different sizos of coal found by actual and honest measure and weight bo given and then every person could tell for himself whether he had rocoived the amount of coal he had purchased or not without any further labor than taking the cubic contouts of space occupied by tho coal. I heard of a case where thoro was a dispute botween partlos as to the amount cf coal dellvored, and, instead of weighing It all, some of same size coal was taken in a coal yard and the cubic capacity of a few tons found, and on that basis tho settlement was made. There may possibly be some objection to this method, but I offer It as a suggestion. Brooklyn, March 14, 1887. H.

THE CALLAGHAN LABOR TROUBLE. Mr. Raphacll Repeats His Version of tho Lockout. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle To deal with facts and not abuse is my purpose, as ungentlomanly conduct always reflects tho nature of a man whom we have to deal with. I wiih to make a correction In favor of Messrs.

Cal lnghan Bros. Tho man In thoir employ about whom the difficulty arose has really boon employed about two mouths, but through a misunderstanding when the Information was given to me for publication tho misstatement was made in this way: Two weeks previous to the lockout the man, when in conversation at the dinner hour, stated that he was not a union man, It being tho custom when a man starts work to roquost him to Join the union. Hence the mistake. Let me hope, therefore, that the Messrs. Callaghan will be content with this correction.

The arm In quostlon attempted to correct me iu my knowledge of trades unions saylug I ought to know that a man cannot be a Knight of Labor and a trade unionist at tho same time without abuse. I will simply refer these gentlemen to Mr. Powderly, who will Inform them that tbore are hundreds of local assemblies of Knights of Labor whose mombors are also organized Into trades unions. Again, I repeat, there is no question Involved concerning the Knights or Labor, because tho man admitted In conversation that ho was a suspendod member of that Drder. The difficulty aroso simply becauso the man ro fusod to Join tho union.

It is useless to make anything olso of it In relation to tho pickets, let me say that it is false from beginning to end that thoy used force to prevent people from going Into tho factory. Had they done so the Arm would not have hesitated in having them arrestod. Messrs. Callaghan claim in their card that to Inform applicants for work that there is a strike pending is an Interference with their business. If wo were In Russia or Germany it might work, but organized working poople In this country will not havo that construction of the law placed upon thoir legitimate purposes, and you gontlemon mny yet live to see tho day whon the law of the land will bo here as in England, that trade unionists havo cortaln rights that omployors will have to rospeot.

Tho mon claim thoy wore locked out in this way: Whon the committee of tho men in the shop spoke to tho firm about the man's Joining the union on last Saturday wook Mr. Callaghan replied that if he could not got the blue label ho did not waut any union mou. What othor construction could bo placed on such a reply than that tho men woro lockod out, and on Monday morning following whon a commltteo from tho union called on them they flatly refused to recognize thom. I leave to fair minded pooplo as to my being a knave or a fool aud as to my being officious I will Inform Messrs. Caillghan that tho union authorized me to make the Btatemoht I did and havo my name appoar in public print This much I will toll Messrs Callaghan In spite of thoir taunts I will as long as I live al ways take pride lu being officious and seeing my name In public print whon I am requested to do bo by my follow workmen.

If that bo treason then mako the most of it Regretting that I havo to trespass in your valuable paper In Justice to all concerned I trust you will bonr with me. M. 94 York street Brooklyn, March 15, 1887. PROTECTION FROM SERVANTS. Rather Too Siveoplicfr Remarks bj Ilonsekeepcr.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn. Eagle: As a great sufferer from the impositions of servants, I wrlto this appeal, hoping that through your influential columns the moans of relief may come to me. Laborers of all classes have found leagues for the protootlon of their rights and Inter ests; why wUl not tho housekeepers of this groat olty Join to organize a society which will aim at the protection of theirs 7 It would be a protection to good servants, as well as to housekeepers, If the giving of a recommendation to an unworthy or Incompetent domestlo by her employer wore punish. able by fine or otherwise. And the sine qua non In securing a servant a situation should bo a good roference, and, until some stop Is takon to remedy the present evil, we live on and suffer.

To troat an omployer with resb'ect Is an act unworthy of the modern servant; In many cases tho employer Is expected to do the work and make her life conform to the desires of tho hired girl and keep the strict rules enjoined upon' her from this quarter. Within a weok I have beon the victim of three of these "highly respectable and oompetent" damsels. I romombor one honorod me with her company for one night and left In the morning because I had the assurance to object to her seating herself In my place at my dining table to eat Perhaps I am fastidious, but I do not relish the Idea of my cook with her greasy apron and slovenly manner of eating occupying the place whore I must sit at my hext meal and perhaps and that the oloth is soiled. I was reared to value the whiteness of my table linen. Number Two came highly recommended; she was a great prize for which sixty five other ladles were compotlng and I won her.

Sho was a model of neatness and qould do ovorything in a superior manner, so .1 loft her to work by herself and wont out. Upon my return I found my prize possessed of an accomplishment her former mistress (wishing no doubt to surprise mo ploasautly) left me to discover. She had nn amazing facility for emptying liquor bottles in a most superior manner, after which tho cares of this world ceased to trouble her for hours. Number Three Informed me whon her work wasjexplalnod to her that sho did not Intend to.turu my house tops; turvy for 14, and I needn't think it; sho only meant to do her duty." Wha' that duty was romaiue an enigma, as dispensed with her services forthwith. The fore going Is only my experience during one week, and have kept ho use for fourteen years and oould write volumos upon this subject, and tbore Is scarcely a housokoeper In the olty who has not suffered similarly.

A friend of mine not long since discharged her servant and took another whose former employer gave aeraa excellent character. $1,098,267 in Conveyances Recorded Last Week.

Correspondence of the Eagle. Pams, 11 arch 4, 1887. "Do you kriow the American beauty, Miss intimately?" was a fiuestion a Fronch gentleman put to mo the other day. "Sho is a simple acquaintance of mino; "Bocause she dresses hor hair so outrageously that It would be charity to tell hor so; that hurricane of frowzy hair encircling her face, then tho rest of it drossod bo smoothly omling in a wad, would mako hor look fright if iho woro not so handsonio." This remark curiously coincides with a request sent to mo by a Brooklyn lady to writo a lottor on tho changes of coiffuro. 1 immediately made an appointment with ono of tho most colobratedcoittouraof Paris, and this is tho ro.iult of tlio intcrvlow: Georges, I have hoard American women accused of wearing hurricanes on their hoads; does the latest stylo no longer authorizo that eccentricity Xo; I undorstaud that American ladles took to that fashion in imitation of Mrs.

Langtry'a coiffuro, when on hor first tour in America. It has never boen becoming to any ono, not oven to Mr3. Langtry; it is altogether inharmonious one part of it being too cut off from the othor." Well, what is tho latost among your most distinguished clients "The French twiBt iu the back, mado rathor prominent. If the hair 13 not thick enough I add a crepe. The nape of the neck is now loft outiroly froo of frizzes.

After It Ins made iho French twist the braid is turned into a Ggure oight high on the top of tho head, or drosaed into elongatod lint puffn. The front hair is cut short, curlod, frizzed or undulated, according to studied bocomlnguoss; then it ia pai tod so that the top mny be drawn back with its onds shoved under tho puffs, and it is to bo loft high or flattonod down with invisible pins; the coiffeur or tho lady eoea which stylo is moat becoming to her. Tho other parts of tho front hair nro mado into light flat Spanish locks about tho temples, or into frowzy frizzes spread over tho hair at tho aides and not extending far into tho faco. It is tho most becoming of coiffures because It frames tho head without throwing it into many waves, tho upper part of tho forehead left bare adds greatly to tho Intellectual appearance of the iadioa; comparing thom to poodles will no longer bo possiblo. So much tho better if the lady is born with tho Mario Stewart poiut, for It adds much to the effectivonoss of tho coiffure.

When tho forohoad is really too high to bo laid bare a vory light, small fringe of ringlets is allowed to modify tho defect. Somo ladios also woar a longer lock placed right iu tho middle of tho forehead oxtonding down almost to tho top of the nose. But it is considoroil an eccontrictty, in which my distinguished clionts do not allow themsolvos to indulge." "Do you apply this samo coiffuro to all ladies Indiscriminately, and for all occasions?" Yes, but with mnny modiOeations. I study the contour of each lady's face and with hor hair modify Its defects. If tho fueo be broad I raiso the undulating puff abovo nnd flatten the curls on tho Bide, and do tiie contrary for a long, thin face.

But the aim in coiffures now Is to make the head appear as small as possible, high and narrow. It Is not often that a lady can appear too tall, and the tailor sho bo tlio more distinguished she looks." What is tho latest iu tho way of hair ornaments 7" "For ordinary use, shell and Japanese pins. Of tho former a most beautiful variety is now made; small, narrow shell comb3 carved in arabesque designs; hair pins with ornamented hoads; only one of tho former and two of tho latter must be worn at tho samo time, for everything about the head must appear light and airy; nothing topheavy Is fashionable. For evening coiffures, hero and there I add a few small curls In tho intervals of puffs or twist as to mako tho hoad in harmony with tho high flow erB or ribbon ornamontatlous. Those are made also high and narrow and boldly placed almost on tho center of tho head.

Tho flowors of tho heath mixed with narrow ribbon and plaited tullo aro vory fasbionablo at prosont; also tho downy white balls which grow on tho dandelions aftor tho blossoms havo faded; all flowers which stand high on the atom without looking top heavy aro fashionable. Kibbon bows mado high are perhaps moro in favor than flowers, only It takes an artist to mako thom. Feathers and diamond ornaments aro left to dowagers. With the exceptions of a light diamond crescent, diamond hair pins or a lightly mounted narrow diadem, and! those worn separately, diamond head ornamentations aro left in thoir caskets." "Thero Is no falsa hair worn now?" "Indeed thero Is, but not In such great quantltioa aa yoars ago. It i3 impossible to droaa a lady's hair artistically without falso hair.

The lady's own hair forms tho bulk of the head dress, but it would bo too difficult a mattor to detach here a tuft of small curls and thore one of fine frizzes to form tho harmonious ensemble. With the high tufts of flowors I always add somo small curls to hide tho stems and alternate the olevation." "Do you believe in the frequent washing and cutting of the halrT "No, washing impairs its qualities and it conduces to the forming of dandruff. Hair and scalp can bo kopt cloan without much washing. American women wash thoir heads too of ton; twice a year is moro than sufQciout. Thorough combing and brushing is what koops tho scalp iu a healthy state.

Amorican women's hair always look as if woll taken care of, becauso thoy cutlivato tho habit of brushing it. French women do not cut thoir hair B3 much as thoso of othor nationalities, and takon on an aver ago thoy, porhaps, havo tho best hoads of hair. If cutting stimulated the roots and oxcltod others to grow men would havo thicker hair than women, and that is far from being tho case." "There Is a Bchool for coiffeurs horo "Yes, there is a course in which tho art of dressing hair is taught. In the months of November and December the examinations tako place. A Jury of twelvo of tho best coiffeurs is chosen and in thoir presonco thoso who aspire to diplomas aud certificates dreas tho headB of lay figures.

But it is not uecossary to attend that school to become a good coiffeur. Tho satisfaction glvon to lady patrons is tho best recommendation." In formor timoa, when Fronch womon discovered promaturo silver throads among tho gold or black hair, thoy secretly ropairod to depilatory shop, whore such traces of ago wore at onco romovod. It waa a painful oporatiou, and the patient was suro to return home with a raging headache or temper, but it docoivod thoir friends. Tho Fronch woman of to day haa become moro caroloss or moro philosophical; sho courageously allows the gray hair to show, but tries to worry ovor imaginary troublos in order to have It soon turn white, for she knows that noxt to possessing ouo's own unstroaked hair perfectly whito ia the most becoming. Powdor In tho olden times was only a substitute to soften tho features, to brighten tho oyo, to onhance tho red of tho Hps and the pink and whito of the complexion.

This brings us back whon hair dressing was a vor itablo art to tho Sevonteonth Century, when hair dreasera bocamo colobrated and are cited in historical descriptions of the customs nnd fashions of those tlntos. It was tn 1050 that ono Champagne had becomo so a la mode, was such a favorite among the coiffeurs that on tho rofusal to dross a lady's hair he was kidnapped, brought to the house. wrad thore his resistance was conquorod by having a sword pointod to him, with throntonings of instant death If ho did not nt onco go to work at dressing that court lady's hair. This was tho time of tho Ninon aud othor coiffuros, composod of a mass of small curls all over tho head. The portraits of Mmo.

de Sovlguo gives us specimens of that stylo. Thou came a style of coiffuro3 whloh bore the namo of mou3tacbo3. It consisted of long curls which foil all over tho head and along the ohooks. The boureoois women were strictly forbidden to woar moustaeho3. A hair drossor, with tho predestined name of Frl eon, was then the favorlto among tho ladles; he waa 80 skillful In inventions and bo secretive In disposition, that tho king's bnrbor disguised himself aa the attondant of ono of Frlson's patrons to dlacovor eomo of his confrere's myjtorlos in hair drossing.

Then came Dase, who, at being Bent for by Madame do Pompadour, told this lady that she waa happy in hor eholco, for ho had been the other oue's coiffure. This was ropoatod to Madame la Dauphine, Whom It much amused. Colf furOB became monumental In Mario Antoinette's time. Sho favored tho tower stylo, because it mod erated the squareness of her face and softonod hor somowhat prominent fenturos. She was very fond of largo tufta of undulating feathers, poked up high on the top of tho hair scaffolding, and as hor numerous court ladles did the same the galleries of Yersailles on gala nights presented a forest of moving plumes, raised from ono to two feet above each hoad.

Sho invented tho Uinerva coiffuro, which connlstod of a beepanglod coISCe, on the top whloh was adjusted a tuft of ten ostrich plumes, plaquod with tho center of peacock feathers. Sho sent hor portrait with her hoad thus decorated to hor mother, the Empros3 Maria Thereso. TbJa austere woman sent tho picture baok. saying: This is doubtless a mistake. That is not the portrait of a queen but of an actress.

Send mo the real one." Mario Antoinette had constant od potntmonta with Inventors of coiffures, and a certain Mile. Bortin, In her memolra, writes: "In our last lntorvlew tho queen and I havo doclded that our most modorn caps will only come out next weQk." Marie Antoinette invontod tho garden, the frothing torrent and tho beautiful chicken coiffuros. Tho Princess of Chartros sported a puff on whiuh figured the portrait of the Duko of Beaugalais, her eon. In old uoblo Fronch families youug fiancees on tho evoning of tho contract signing wear a bunch of tpinka in thoir hair. Tho chosou colors are white for blondes aud scarlet for brunottos.

Finks are tua emblem of coustnney, nnd in the far off times of tho crusades and chivalrous expeditions this was a vlrtuo much tried nnd In groat demud.

strolled without their chains; that slatoly tread called a halt as Beecher drew his fool within the round walls of mortality. A 3hadow liko a November night dropped il3 dusty patchwork of over the inmortal llres of his genius. That genius was a column of lire and covorod tho pulpit with ouch a halo that none but tho Afosos of Plymouth Church cared to adtuinistor there. Tho genius of Henry Ward Boochor his subllmo and lofty pulpit thomes lifted tho roof of Plymouth Church and carried It up till It, became, for tlio hour, tho transfigured dome of tho living ami unseen temple under which the angels of God hovered aud listenod and counted the throbs of Immortal h. that he kindled iu tho hearts of his enraptured audiences.

His genius crowded Iho walls of I'lj inouth Church out till they stood upon tlio circuit or the wiiolo earth. His genius lifted Plymouth pulpit to be transfigured into ono of tho loftiest and most brilliant figures on the planot. He lifted it so high it shed its lustor upon orery segment 011 tho brilliant horizon that girdlos Cue civilization of the Nineteenth Coutury. A shadow fell on Brooklyn and all circles put on micirniug. Multitudes stood still, held their breath wltilo tho mortal taper was sinking in that familiar ooclcot.

Thoy uncovered and dropped their heads as that taper went out. Our city buildings, our churches aud our hoarls wore sablo drapery. The shadow spread over the entire land. It etruck great activities and men slackened thoir pace into a funeral march. It touched great business centers nnd men hushed their voices.

It invaded tho temples of trade and mou walked with muftled fo itstops. It dropped upon the press, it tromblod beuotith tho weight of a tale of sorrow. The shadow boarded the chariot of steam, rode in the mallbag. It seized the electric wires. It tied crape to tho lightening.

It rodo between tho weary wings of tho telegraphic cherubim. It trailed a black thread ovor this laud. It fringed the seaboards 'with sablo drapory. It hung a black tassel on tho latch of the Golden Gate. It planted a black rosetto in tho white b030m of tho North.

Tlio sisterhood of States, North and South, paneled thoir robes with bars of black. mis shadow swept under tho ocoau. It crossod foreign lands and royal soamstrossos stitched tho black thread in the stately wardrobes of cities, provinces and empires. This black thread of griof runs along tho linos of all torrestrial latitudes and longitudes, lor Henry Ward Boochor Is doad and ho nvod everywhoro and bolongod to all nationalities. grades and shados of mon.

Lot us now approach tlio arena of his triumphs. Ho entered tho arena of lifo in tho most evontful age of Amorican history. Just after tho Niiiotoonth Century was born, whilo yet in Us toons, Ilonry Ward Hoochor was born, aud they wore cradled togothor. Tho same stars watched ovor them. Tho same spheres sang to them.

Thoy crow togethor. Thoy became one. Tho Nineteenth Coutury without Henry Ward Boochor would havo boon a deformity. His hand was a mighty pulley ovor which Uod ran his roj)os and fastened them to humanity for Its olova lion. Beochor brought his best offering to place in the archives of the Ninoteonth contu ry, which was an alabaster box of precious ointment.

He brought it with him the first time ho ontorod Plymouth pulpit. Ho opc nod it witn those words, 1 shall proach Christ and mm crucillcd not as a by gono Character, but as tho liv ing Lord God." Whon tho Aiigol of Time shall lift tho lid and look into tho archives of the Kluoteonth Century, while the ofTorings of his contemporaries will bo found withered, a brokon vino. Beochor's Gospol work will bloom liko a flower of immortality. Lot us look into tho arena that marks the great ovontB of his lifo. Tho first groat powor that Beecher grappled with in this arena was poverty and then obscurity, thon ho conquered himself.

How and whoro in history shall wo station him. He walks all lands. Ho dwells in all zones. He is at homo with all peoplos. llo breathes aud lives in all progross.

Ho keeps wing with swiftost advancement Tho City of Brooklyn will put him in bronzo and marblo and placo that sacred mold as tho most perfect flower in our city's garden. But the spirit of Beecher will bo walkiug arm and arm with progress and liborty through tho shining avouuos of the ages whon bronze and marble havo crumbled to dust 15 THE TF.HPLE KMANU EL. A Beecher memorial sorvico was held yesterday in tho Templ6 Emanu el, in New York. Babbi Gottheil, who was a warm friend of Mr. Beochor, conducted the services, and was assisted by Ilev.

Drs. M. II. Harris and Rubin. Rev.

Mr. Halllday occupied a seat in tho pulpit. At the conclusion of the rabbi's remarks ho spoke feelingly. Aftor referring to Mr. Boecher's conduct to the Hebrews, which was always kindly, ho said: If any Justification wore needod for this service on tho part of a Hobrow congregation to day it is supplied by tho utterances of that great teachor of tho Gospol.

But tho day has passed whon our motive in such an action as this would give offonse or be mlslntorprotod. We wrong tho man and ourselves to say simply that he was a friend to tho lew. Beecher was a friond to overy raco. If you scan his life, when will you find a time when ho was not a friond for the wrongod and oppressed It Is not, then, as a friond of the Iraelltes only, but as an American as woll that we are here to honor his momory. It Is not for mo to add to tho praisos that havo been Justly spoken of him, but ono personal tribute I wish to pay him.

lean speak as an eyo witness of tho sorvico ho rendored his country In F.ugland during the war, for I was thoro and waitod two hours iu the throng to hear him speak. I alroady knew of him and his cause through his writings. But I shall novor forget the scone as he crossod tho platform and his smiling faco turned toward the storm that was awaiting him. It was a storm and had been prepared In advauce to groothim. Aud I saw him bid that storm to become calm and It bocarne calm.

I saw him tame the wild and raging boast until it crouchod and lay quiotly at his foot. Ho did not at first produco this effect Ho began spoukitig on tho great constftutional questions at issuo in tho war and they listenod to him savagely. But whon he left this and ontorod into the groat question of humanity and human rights, then Beecher stood forth in his powor. He poured out into that vast audience oloquonco liko molten metal, as ho dwelt on the abuses of human slavery. Then tho audlonco was affected and was carried with him.

He said that ono son of his was In the war, and if he should bo killed thoro was another growing up and he should havo a musket and go into tho army, too, as soon as ho could boar it. Then tho groat storm of applause burst forth and the roof shook. I saw men climbing over oach other to shako hands with him, aud those who could not reach him stretched forward thoir umbrellas for him to touch them. KBY. DB.

COLLYEK'S TMBUTB. Yostorday Rev. Dr. Kobort Collyor preached on flonry Ward Beecher, at the Church of tho Messiah, in New York. Ho choso for his text II Chronicles, Thoy burled him among the kings because ho had done good, both toward God and toward his house." Ho said: I shall speak to you this morning about tho lifo 0 the man whoso doath has touchod the honrt of our nation and movod it as it was nevor moved beforo for tho death of ono who has filled the sacred office and as no nation's heart haa boon movod since Luther died In EisloBon 310 years ago.

Ho was not an old man, for tho Autumn days hardly touched the lifo that lay within. Ho was still tho roal lender In tho Amorican pulpit and 1 can think of no groator in the life of tho Republic, aud as full of enthusiasm for th. work ho had to do as that grand old man 13 in England. He was no theologian, I notice some one saying, liko tho giants of the old days and his own father among tho rost, and no logician liko Edwards and tho men of that great school. There aro two answers, as I think of him, to theso demurrers.

If you moan, by saying ho was no theologian, tho theologians of the old school, or any school I evor heard of, who would redueo God's over flowing truth to a system like that, lot us say, they set such store on at Andovor aud Princeton a system bound about with iron bands of dogma, so that it may wither within the bands', but can never hopo to break them, and whon the thiug turns past all bearing can only hopo to havo tho bands loosened by Just a turn of tho screws in some council called togothor for the purpose this is all very woll for all those who liko such a bondage, but whon I ttiink of what Mr. Beochor has dono in all theso years, be causo ho would not be bound by any bauds man ever made of this sort, I thank God with all my heart that ho was not a systematic thoologlan, but Just that groat freo man we all havo known. And ho was no logician, they say, aud I agree to that. We have no purer logic, so far as I know, than you will find iu tho completed works of Jonathan Edwards, and we havo no bettor key wherowlth to lock nineloen twontieths of our untold human family fast Into eternal misery and thon loavo tho key outside tho door without the slightest hopo that you will ever contrivo a plncer to turn the key and lot you out It was tho glory and Joy of Henry Ward Beochor to say, with an ovor deeper emphasis as he grew oiler, that logic like this is an insult to God and the worst injury you can do to man. IN PLYMOUTH CHURCII.

Tho Vacant Pulpit Filled Morninz and Eveninff. The Key. Mr. Halliday conducted the services In Plymouth Church yesterday morning.

Dr. Fulton Fires II1 First Onn at the Pope. Kev. Jusi.in D. Fulton did not formally road hie resignation to the congregation of tho Cen tonnlal Baptist Church yesterday, as ho said the prosj had already given It all the publicity necessary.

He, however, proceeded to explain why he Intended crusading against the Church of Rome. He added that tho Pope was now more powerful than ever and that the church was at the bottom of all the European troublos. Continuing he said: Two thirds of the convicts In Sing Sing are Roman Catholics In good standing, but even thtre the church retains her hold upon them. Itomnnlsm employs the pageantry of demon worship. She sacrifices to hell an not to God.

My position is Just this the Catholio Church has only one right in thiB land the right to be converted. She la a standing menace to the Republic, sproadlng her power from day to day. And, my friends, there Is Just one man In this country to stand out alone to fight Rome, and I am that man. Iist St Patrick's day, no longer ago than that, remember, at celebrations In Newark and Brooklyn and New York it was boasted that America was discovered by an Irishman Christopher Columbus. And again It was said that Washington was given his place by an Irishman.

That is tho doctrine that is preached in the ears of every servant girl in the land. In the evening ho began his fight by making a long address in the Masonic Temple in which he explained his religious belief, and vehemently denounced Catholicism. TH1L IK 1IABD liUCK.
