BROOKl.YNITKS REOAKD "WITH DISGUST
THE ACTION OF NAVY OFFICIALS IN
NOT ORDERING THK BROOK
LY.V TO THIS CITY.
There is no longe.- any disKU.iir.g the fact that
the apparent indifference of the Na\*y Department
officiale with reference to the wishes of tho com?
mittee having In charge the presentation of lh?
?llvrr Bervlee to the cruiser Brooklyn has brought
matter? to a ?.?oint where it can be saiil truthfully
that the relations between the committee apd the
Navy Department are strained and unpl? asant.
On the surface everything Is ?till court? oua ar.d
diplomatic, but the Brooklyn men who have b*?*n
to so much pain? to provide for one of the ?lovtasn
ment's ?hips a handsome and costly present are
totally et a lorj? to understand why Secretary .
Jjonti and Assistant ?ecretary Roosevelt, who
ou y ht to bo cogni2rint of al', the circumstance?, are
not ub'e to Biro their way clear without the slight?
est hesitation to accede to Uie views and requests
of the Brooklyn committee with refeience to a date
for the ceremony, a place fe?r the moeptlon of the
?ervlce by the ship, ur..l a programme, arranged
by Br^oklynit.-s.
It is ImpoMlbl? to ?et any wor?l of complaint
from Chairman Eerrl on account of his disappoint?
ment ? ?ullint,' lo K'-t the Government to suit
Brooklyn's wish??. His colleagues on th? Citizens'
Committee are lik"\vi?>e reticent. But it became
known laut night that the committee is bftcomlog
?I? k and dlaguBted over their fruit..?.* efforts to,
obtain an order wnich will p,a<:e the 'Brook! ? ? at
the Brooklyn ?ivy Yard _n ? date convenient to
the committee. Somewhat odious comparisons an*
being mede, and It is whispered that there would
have been nc trouble a y?-ar ???? tn having the
Brooklyn ordered to the Navy Yard, which Is eon
ced?d to be th?? proper nlacu for her ?rbea the ser?
vice la preeontea. Ifr. Bern saw captain cook of
the Brooklyn yroteiday, ?n<i that ofiiciai s.i\s h.?
1? powerless in the premises. He nia.l?: it el<:ar t?j
Mr. Berri that he Would take tne Bremklvn to an??
place that she might b<? orib-red, hut Captain Cooic
1? under orders tr ?m his superiora ami be cannot
take the Brooklyn to th?? Navy Yard unleea he is
?o directed. The date of May IS, Whlcb was s?-nU-.i
upon last w*ek. is now regarded as rather uncer?
tain, in view of the fact that so much time has
e.apsi-d without g.-itln? any definite word from the
officials at Washlntrinii about allowing ther cruiser
to come to th* Navy Yard.
Mr. Berrl ?a>? that If ?he cer.-m.my take? plu/v?
with the Brooklyn In th?? North River, he is
very much afraid that the whole- ._.,,,r will be ??
disappointment to thousand? of Brooklyn peopl. .

Hie i? merits .no called forth by a comment made
last Sunday by the Her. diarie? a. jenken?, of
the Livingston Avenue Baptist Church, of till? city,
on th?? occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary.
Mr. Jenkena, In talking of moilern pulpit ten?
dencies, Instancing tho uteri-optician, uacred. con?
(???it and phonograph. Haul, in substance: "The
man who depends on .?uch m.-thods to hold his con?
gregation is not worth? of his high palling, and If
tho phonograph la to be need to sing hymns and
pt*onoonce the benediction, why not nil the cylinder
with sermon? ar.d dispense with the preacher en?
tirely?"
.Mr. Jenkena said that he was speaking generally,
and had no particular preacher in mind. Never?
I halase, his remarks are Interpreted by Mr? Sam
mi? as applying to himself, and he ?aye: "I can?
not see that a phonograph la worsu than the organ.
I have need the machine to deliver reproduction?
? ?f tii? siiriiiiig ?if famous choirs. Now, my litUe
church could not altor?! to have a great ? noir in
Its servie.-? Instead, we get th? P'cor.l? of those
choirs at no oosl whatever. I admit that the u?e
ot tne phonograph can become an abuse. ???
' Instance, J ?lo noi think It would be proper to have
the machine relieve me of any of my tasks, eu<h
sa d? llverina my sermone jy its sia. My choir
doee its best, of course, but. it is not brilliant, and
the phonograph makes up for its deficiencies.
Moreover, I must, first of all, consider my own
congregation. Their likes and dislike? I must fol?
low. And thus far the a*lv?-r>?e eiltlcism of my
using the phonograph has been entirely from out
?tders. My own people are delighted with it.
Last Sunday week I omitted tc uae the machine,
and th.'ie were many expressions of disappoint?
ment aftfr tho service?. N'eitlier Mr. Jenk>ma S nor
any oim else'? criticisms will deter me from the
work I am conducting with tha machine. Thus
far ihe use of it has been confined to the evening
services, but In a short time it will be Introduce?1
into the morning services as well, and I am going
to visit several places in New-York with It next

ftrtOOKS ANI? M'Cri.IrAOH.
The meeting of the Tolles Board to-day promisee
to be a lively one. Th?? question ae to whether the
ellgibl* list for inspectors is legal or not will come
up for aiSfiUSSlnn. ar.d It Is probable that Com?
missioner I'a-k-r will move to abolish the list.
The 'Irand Army protest against the promotion of
CaptalSa BroOka and McCullagh, now acting In?
spectors, will be before the Hoard. The promotion
of roundsmen to sergeants will also be acted upon.
Chief Coolla may be called upon to recommend
some of the promotions.
There. Is likely to be a lively discussion over the
promotion ?-pieatlon. Colonel Grant will, it Is
thought, refuse to vote upon the question of the
legality of the eligible list for inspectors an<l leave
the natter to be determined by the member? of
lh?.? Hoard who ate lawyers. It Is likely that the
Inapeetors* list will be abolished A new examina
uno will then be ordered. Colonel Grant will en?
deavor If possible to bring about the promotion Of
Brooke snd MoCuUngh, but the belief Is that he
v. .il no; .?ucce.-d. ?Mr. Parker, It Is undoretood,
will Insist upon the right? of the veterans being
Ii red. . ..
The Q ?. It. protest, which was served upon the
Police Hoard by tho Memorial Committee of tho
organisation yesterday afternoon, contends that
certain Commissioners showed an Intention to over?
ride the ?pirli of tlie law which prefers veterane, in
giving only to Captain Hrooks and Captain Mc
Cullagb who ar* not veterans, a sufficiently high
rating for record and efficiency tt place thero on
the eligible list.

at the traile mark twenty seconds, then close the eyes and press a finger lightly on each; you will find the figure h?
been photographed upon the pupils of the eyes, and by that method is transferred to and engraved upon the mind
so deeply that it will never be obliterated or forgotten. Years after you can close the eyes and see the figure clearly
with the words of truth.
YVc are trying to tell humanity over and over again, until they come to know the profound facts, that an easy
and natural way to be happy is in the possession of bounding health obtained by the use of properly --.elected food an?i
drink. No fun on earth is equal to the fun of being perfectly tutu.
? SMOOfFviLLAIN.
The most polished and artful villain among the drug
habits is coffee, a smooth spoken knave that has bewildered
many a noble temperance worker who was preaching
against poisonous liquors, and in poor health because of the
daily use of the drug?coffee. Honest and sincere enough,
but had not yet learned that the same alkaloids are shown
by chemical analysis in coffee as in strychnine, whisky, mor?
phine and tobacco.
Try leaving off coffee ten days and proie the truthful*
ness of .the statement. In nine cases out of ten the body will
feel the unmistakable sensation of "getting well"?a heaven
to many a poor soul. Then the body shouM have food that
will furnish the albumen, gluten and phosphates which
.Nature requires to rebuild the gray matter in the nerve
cells in the brain and all over the body. This is furnished
in Postum Cereal Pood Coffee, which is made from tho??
parts of the cereals that furnish these elements in th?de
purity and strength.

If coffee is a poison to you the svstem will give hints of it by various aches and ills. If ?persisted in apainst the
protests of nature a settlement ?lay will surely come, when Paralysis, l'.iresis, Heart Failure t?r some other form of
fixed disease will he the payment demanded.
Try leaving off coffee 10 clays?it may solve your problem when medicines
fail. Many stubborn diseases yield when the daily dose of coffee is abandoned.
Sense, plain common sense. Postum Cereal Food Coffee is made of the albumen,
gluten and phosphates of wheat. It furnishes the elements absolutely demanded by
nature to rebuild the gray matter in the nerve cells.
Since Postum became famous hundreds of "Cereal Coffees" have ?sprung up all over the country, with the ex?
