PULPIT UTTERANCES.
LESSOX FROM DISASTERS.
The Rev. E. W. Caswell Says
Mountain* Give Warning.
The Rev. Edwin Whlttler Caswell. pastor of th«
Bofkmtn HHI Methodist Episcopal Church. No. 321
East f.Oth street, preached yesterday morning on
the San Francisco disaster, taking for his text
Revelations, xviii. 1« and IT: "Alas, alas! that
sreat city, that was clothed In fine linen and pur
ple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious
•tones and pearls! For in one hour so great riches
is come to naught." He said, in part:
When earthqual:« and flame lifted the restraints
•■f law sod civilization from sorrowing San Fran
«-:s<-o. then the ghoula. libertines, drunkards., rob
bcsTS Bud gamMers rushed out of the saloons and
lirothrls like tigers and jackals from their jungles.
Thon murder, theft, rapine, rape and cruelty were
added to the horrors of the conflagration. Men in
kiiio from drink burning within them revelled and
rlotod in the outward flames as do demons In hell.
"Shoot .th on the spot!" was the declaration
of law and order. After a dozen had fallen the
•n-ild crowd IV bark to its own place, the saloon.
Soldiers and civilians turned upon the saloon.
Whiskey and beer flowed like rivers in the streets.
Every saloon that had not been burned was emp
tted "and closed. The Mayor of the city issued a
proclamation a few days since refusing all licenses
to saloons for an indefinite period. Should not
every American city ostracize and outlaw the sa
loon." the brothel and the gambling hell? What
j«c a menace in a great calamity is a greater menace
In a time of r> r -'"''- and prosperity. Who would 11
cens*-. nurse and fondle a wild beast in his home,
knowing that at the first opportunity it would kill
the lov*d ones and destroy the property? The na
tion m:st arise and strike the death blow to the
monster that will become our ruin unless de
stroy ,
In S*n Francisco only life and property were in
peril bat everywhere the demon of rum mars, j
mutilate* and finally ruins character, throttles
Jiope. Masts reputation, crushes out home, ihild
hnod and happiness. Let us not wait for earth
quake and flam<* to compel us to annihilate this
a* fill evil.
God* mountains, like prophets, are speaking to
mankind to-lay. Mont iviee. Vesuvius and the ;
Sierra X.'va<i; : ? have spoken. Who knows where j
the next voice will he heard? <Jo.i is calling His
children to look away from r »rth to heaven, from j
gold to golden opportunities, from self and sin to
Christ and l'Olll;.
t: • mountains are hanging out the red light of
■warnlnc '" the people of the whole earth, telling I
lh*ri that the Almighty is coming. "Kxcept ye !
ret.e;it v.> shall all likewise perish." And than, j
"S<?v: fork City, which art exalted unto heaven !n j
v.orldiy prosperity, pleasure and power, phalt b« |
rm.usrlit down to hell. It shall be more tolerable
for the •:.•! of Sodom In the day of judgment than
for i!i*>e, for if the mighty works which have been
(inn" in thee had been done in Sodom it would
have remained to this day!
What was a half century building in San Fran
cisco was only half a minute In falling down.
"What tins tteen building In New York City for
three rentur'es may fall in three seconds. Heaven
grant we may repent of our sins and put on sack
flotli and ashes before nature's convulsions robe
us in blackness against our will.
If an Elijah; sent from God. had proclaimed the i
ruin of Snn Francisco the night before the earth- I
«mr?l«\ who would have believed him? Who would
iia\<» )iesiut»d a moment on ihe way to business.
■so pleasure, to the haunts of vice and crime? No
mM». unless it be to call the prophet a fanatic, a
lileot. holdinsr m the traditions of the past, on the.
Fid' 1 «^f Ilie fixed gulf, with the old T?!blo and the
divine Christ.

DR. TUPPER ON HERESY.
Says Such Trials Are Impossible in
Baptist Church.
The Rev. Dr. Kcrr B. Tupper, at the. Madison
Avenue Baptist Church, last night, spoke of the
futility and unreasonableness of heresy trials. He
said:
Should a mans orthodoxy be tested by the canons
of the Church or the words of Christ? Of late we
have heard a great deal about a trial for heresy.
We should be careful how we judge people who
differ from us. Such people may believe in the
.Bible. Their Intellect gives assent to It, and their
intellectuality gives absent.
We are passing through to-day a foment of the
study of the Bible that will result In a Bible
renaissance. In this controversy certain cherlshea
views may go. but the Bible, as God gave it. will
remain. Revelation is progressive Truth is not
new but there is a new light on all truth. No in
tellect is great enough to grasp all of God 3 tratn.
Once the study of the New Testament absorbed
men's minds; now it is the study of the Old Testa
ment that Is attracting the world thought.
The receiving mind is always a growing mind.
We shall always have heresy trials while the
Church does not realize that a creed should not be
the measure of a man's belief. We Baptists have
no heresy trials. With us it is impossible. I could
even deny the very existence of God Himself and
I could riot be the subject of a heresy trial, and
the reason is that every Baptist church is a re
public in itself, and each church settles its affairs
for itself. „, . _, ,
Thft spirit of God permeates the Word of God
better than the mere word which spells it out.
Do not become a fetich of the letter, but cleave
to th* spirit. The hardest thing Christ had to con
tend with was to change the literalism of His
times to the spiritualism.
TO PREVENT PROSELYTIZING OF JEWS.
Charges Made Against Management of East
Side Settlement.
AU.ert Lucas, of the Jewish <>«tres Association,
in sm interview yesterday, called upon the leaders
of all the Jewish societies In the city to spare no
efforts this summer to prevent the "proselytizing of
Jewish children by the Inducement of long vaca
tions in the country." This association wns re
cently formed for the preservation of the Jewish
faith in the young.
Mr. Lucas says he has evidence that involves
every settlement institution on the Kast Side, and
that if Jewish parents do not awaken to the serious
ness of the situation, young and suscoptiblo chil
dren will be led by the thousands from the Jewish
faith. Mr. Luca;- practically charges the East Side
Settlement workers with deception.
'The proselytising institutions grow and thrive,
he says, "off the lack of adequate places where
children of tender age of both sexes may be
brought together under the influence of Jewish re
ligious and moral teaching."
To offsc these conditions a now organization pur
poses "to provide suitable centres where the Jewish
chilrirf •!] and youths shall receive, under Jewish in
flr.Mice. the advantages of religious, physical and
moral training."

Jersey City Residents Fail to Get
Contract Wires.
A hatch of suits will probably be entered against
the New York and New Jersey Telephone Com

few months ago, when the fact was heralded that
an opposition company would enter the city, sent
out a corps of canvassers with attractive otters,

the company announced that It had reached the
limit of its capacity, and would put in no more
telephones. It dismissed its staff of canvassers.
Many of those who had been persuaded by the
canvassers wore among those on the waiting list,

with th« illuminations.
The automobile in which they came down had

NOTES OF THE STAGE.
Brown of Harvard Clothes the Poor
—Mr. Savage's Opera Plans.
Henry Woodruff and the cast of "Brown of Har
vard," at the Princess Theatre, are getting their old
clothes together, preparatory to taking part in a
curious convention that attracts no little attention
in Cambridge each spring. To-morrow a large box
containing more than twenty suits of cast-off cloth
ing as many pairs of old shoes, hats. etc.. some of
which have done service in the college play and
some of which contributed to the dally adornment
of Mr. Woodruff. Howard E«terbrook. William Ro
sell. Arthur Shaw. Douglas J. Wood. J. Heron Mil
ler and other principals In the cast, will be shipped
to Boston. Next week the "convention, of old
clothes' will be held at Phillips Brooks House,
Harvard Yard.
The affair is conducted by an undergraduate or
ganization known as the Student Volunteer Asso
ciation. Everything in the way of clothing is in
cluded-underwear. suits, even an occasional dress
coal, stockings with all the variegated ,!tf n 'l
that clings to undergraduate ankles, plain and
fancy waistcoats and hats too numerous to men-
the week of the collecting the Harvard
Yard is full of moving bundles, all tending toward
Phillips Brooks House, where the various religious
societies of the college have their headquarters.
Here the bundles are opened, the various articles
sorted, arranged and finally distributed to local and
"SSoV. S'sno^f^^rnple are what might be.
called the Tuskegee specialty at Harvard. Several
boxes of them go annually to Booker T. W ' uhlne
ton's institute, where the shoe shops are Immedi
ately useful in mendnlg them and «Jf rtin & l^F
on a new career of utility. The Salvation Army In
Boston gets practically all the derby hats.
♦ It is recorded that a visitor at the recent Royal
Academy private view saw catalogued a portrait
of G B. Shaw, and hastened to find it. It turned
out to be a miniature, and. standing in jUsappotat;
ment before it. he exclaimed: "Is this the mighty
ocean? Is this all?"
Henry W. Savage will confine his efforts in the
grand opera field the early portion of the coming
eeason solely to the production of Puccini's
"Madame Butterfly." The opera will have an
elaborate production, nnd, as the libretto baa been
furnished by John Luther Long and David Belasco
(the first time in many yenra that American libret
tists have collaborated with such a distinguished
composer as Puccini), populnr interest will probab»y
be aroused. At present negotiations are being com
pleted with several foreign artists of reputation for
this opera, who will be combined with the prin
cipal artists of Mr. Savage's English Grand Opera
Company, which will not be seen in repertory until
later in the season, when It will again visit the
principal cities of the United States.
Mfss Kitty Cheatham has sailed for Tx>ndon to
fulfil numerous concert engagements there, both
private and public. She will return early In the
autumn, and it is likely that she will again be seen
on the etage here, possibly as the star of a musical
comedy.
Some doubt seems to exist as to what depart
ment of this paper should chronicle the doings of
Miss Ella Hattan (Jaguarira), the woman who, as
porter of the Martha Wellington Hotel, carries
men out on her shoulder in the second act of "The
Vanderbilt Cup." Is the woman an actress or an
athlete? The sporting department seems to regard
her as the former, and turns over to this depart
ment the following letter, which we. giving her the
benefit of the doubt, herewith print:
To the Sporting Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Several writers on theatrical affairs. In ref
erences to my past career as a fencer. In connec
tion with my appearance in "The. Vanderbilt Cup"
at the Broadway Theatre, have evidently labored
under the impression that I am still desirous of
meeting any fencer in the world with the sword,
either in mounted or foot combat. Such is not the
fact. Six years ago I publicly stated ■:;<» I would
make a match with any male broads .rd fencer in
this country or Europe, foot or mounted contest, for
any sum. from $1,000 to $5 000 a side, winner to take
the entire gate receipts. I waited one year for a.
response, and no one was heard from. I then an
nounced that I had retired as a fencer, and would
lievt-r appear in R public sword contest again. To
this decision I still adhere.
I have- met several of the greatest swordsmen in
the world, and defeated them, and have won all
the honors with the sword that a woman can expect
to win. I nevpr claimed to be a "champion," and
that title has always been distasteful to me. The
only claim I ever made was that I believed that I
was a fencer, and was always ready to have my
ability tested with a substantial suni of money at
stake. Therefore, will you kindly .state for me that
I seek no further honors as a fencer— and don't
need the money.
ELLA HATTAN (Jaguarlna).
The Navy Department has practically made to
morrow afternoon a half-holiday for officers and
men of the navy to attend the benefit performance
In Belasco's Theatre which the crew of the Atlantic
Fleet is to give for the San Francisco earthquake
sufferers. Telegrams from Boston and Philadel
phia received by the entertainment committee state
that many bluejackets from those cities will attend
the performance.
Several retired admirals and naval graduates who
are now in civil life have purchased boxes for the
affair. Rehearsals have been held every day this
week on the ships of the fleet in the North River,
and dress rehearsals are to he held at the theatre
this morning and afternoon.
The crews of the vessels have contributed a nool
of over $1,000 to wager upon the result of a boxing
match, which is to be a feature of the show other
numbers are to include a quartet from the Ala

FORT GEORGE WIDE OPEN.
Large Crowd Finds Drinks Plenty,
but Sandwiches Few.
"Little Coney ■ Island." as Fort George has
rome to be known, earned its title truly yester
day. It was probably as wide open, from the ex
cise law point of view, as it has ever been, and
there was practically no effort made to conceal
the sale of drinks.
Fully fifty thousand people visited the resort
yesterday afternoon and last night, and the
Third and Amsterdam avenue surface cars were
packed all day. Every form of amusement was
patronized to a liberal extent. The Ferris wheels
were crowded all day, and shorter trips than
usual, without the customary stop in mid-air,
were given, in order to satisfy the waiting
patrons. Merry-go-rounds were crowded, and
patrons waited in line to try them. Shootinsr
galleries and all games of chance had crowds in
front of the booths from shortly after noon until
late at night, and the popcorn men and peanut
venders did a rushing business.
But the places that appeared to be most pop
ular were the various concert halls and beer
gardens, wher* customers could sit and hear the
music while g-etting something cooling to drink.
The Raines law sandwich was not in evidence.
One of the larger hotels, which a week ago had
a newly painted sign in front reading "Open;
Walk in," dispensed with the sign yesterday,
and had the doors wide open. These doors lead
directly from the sidewalk, and the large gar
den of the hotel was crowded. On some tables
there were plates, but the sandwiches, if there
had ever been any. had long before disappeared.
some unusually hungry patron not being able to
restrain his appetltp. The Trocadero, the largest
music hall at Fort George, had a crowded house
all day and evening. The sandwiches in this
place had also vanished.
The recent decision of Attorney General Mayer
on the status of the "hotel" under the new
Prentice law amendment to the Raines law had
evidently been interpreted very favorably by
proprietors of places at Fort George. Two
weeks ago, before the decision was rendered,
several places, which had been saloons or small
hotels, were closed, apparently for good. But
yesterday every place available for the sale of
drinks was used. Several places which had
been closed were wide open, and new signs an
nouncing this and that hotel were seen. Whether
there were real rooms or the word "hotel" had
been hung out merely to attract customers to
buy beer is a matter for conjecture.
At the Casino, on top of the hill at Fort George,
there was an unusually large crowd during the
late afternoon and early evening. Drinks were
served to any that wanted them, and even an
occasional sandwich appeared. Wonderland

WIFE BEATING CHARGED.
Broker Accuses Contractor — East
Orange Mayor Fails as Mediator.
East Orange, May 20 (Special).— More Interest
than usually attaches to a case of wife beating is
evidenced in the ease of John Nolan, a retired con
tractor, living at Xo. 474 Clinton street North. East
Orange, who was arrested at 1:30 o'clock this morn
inp by Acting Chief of Police James Bell and Pa
trolman O'Neill. The arrest was made at thft in
stance of William S. Cerren, of No. 215 Renshaw
avenue, a New York broker. A feature of the case
was that the accused man's wife kissed him affec
tionately Just before Bell and O'Neill led him away
to the police station.
The trouble occurred yesterday morning, at which,
time. It is related, Nolan and his wife had a "little
spat." At the end of th© discussion Mrs. Nolan, so
the story runs, loft her home and ran for the house
of a Mrs. Lyons, who lives nearby. Nolan pursued.
Mr. Kei.shaw, who says he saw it. declares that he
caught ui> with his wife-, and struck her brutally.
There was a good deal of trouble all day about
the matter, and Mayor William Oardwell. who lives
in the neighborhood, w.-is called in In an attempt to
settle tho matter. Nolan denied striking his wife,
and said he was only trying to get her back to the
house. Mr. Cerren insisted on making the com
plaint, and last evening Bell came to the
house. A discussion wbloh lasted the better part
of fpur hours ensued, and Mrs. Nolan Joined forces
with her husband. The two, it 1b said acted very
much like a loving pair. They were very affection
ate in their demonstrations toward each other but
Bell was obdurate und finally locked Nolan up He
demanded on examination, and Recorder Doremus
accordingly held him to-day In $300 bail to appear
for examination on Wednesday
HOOK MOUNTAIN BRIEF.
Champions of Wainwright Bill Send
It to Governor Higgins.
Attorneys representing the champions of the
Hook Mountain bill have presented to Governor
Hlgglns a brief setting forth reasons why the Gov
ernor should sign the Walnwright bill passed by
the last Legislature. The brief recites the history
of the Palisades preservation movement, and states
that altogether more than $520,000 has been ex
pended In the acquiring of land for the preserva
tion of the cliffs between Fort Lee and Pi^rmont.
Of this amount «22,500 was given by J. P. Morgan.
By means of th.' purchases already made 90 per
cent of the property requisite for the preservation
of the. Palisade cliffs has already been acquired,
and the remaining 10 per cent is now in process of
acquirement. The park reservation between Fort
Uee and Piermont Is about twenty miles in length.
The brief explains that the signing of the Wain
wright bill will give to this reservation an addi
tional lenpth of fifteen miles. Including tho Hook
Mountain territory. Attention is also called to the
tact that the state reservation at Stony Point and
the po»*e«Bk>n of the mountain front to the north
of the Stony Point reservation by the West Shore
Railroad provides for the permanent protection of
the scenery to th« north of Hook Mountain, on the
west shore or the river, Tills is to meet the arc'i
ment of the opposition that several hundred thou
sand dollars will b e necessary to purchase the
lands north of Stony Point, in addition to the Hook
