VMfif the reading ot this poetry to the patients was
fjBfjS annoying. Miss draco O. Nllcs milled broadly.

W IK Miss Nllcs Is tho nurso who, as told In The
Iw- Ban, '" u'nK tD0 women composing the Hoard
JfcT; of Managers of tho Orango Training School for
AT Nursrn for a diploma. She spent two years at

WIS Invited her friends to tuatovent, but sho was
fli , Informed on commencement day that charges
VlK ad DOcn ma asalnst her, and that she
'gk fh would haTo to serve a further probationary
' J8" " period. At tho end of tho probation tho dlplo-
if ! ma T no Bvcn ner n& SQ0 began suit In
4 tho New Jersey Supremo Court, retaining
5 Senator William D. Daly as her counsol. The
f- 't testimony baa boon taken beforo Commissioner
& Walter J. Knight, and tho hearing was contin
ue fy ned In tlio office of William Head Howe, tho
! representative of tho training school. In this city
s yesterday.
i, ) ? Senator Daly was not present. The fashion
wj able womon composing the training school man-
ajrement waited for him for some time, and were
about to leave when Lawyer Howe restrained
them, and told them that the Supremo Court
would be just as angry with the Senator for
his tardiness bb they were Bo they waited.
Finally Georgo W. Abbott, Jr., from tho Sena
' tor's office la Jersey Cityappearcd to tako
charge of tho cose. Ho Is rather good looking.
Is considerably younger than tho Senator, and
his hair Is nicely combed. Tho Senator's hnlr
Is always milled, tin every woman in tho room
was glad she had waited.
Tho first witness called for the defence was
the Very Her. Alexander Mann, Archdeacon of
the Nowark diocese and associate rector ot
Grace Church, Orange. Early In the case Miss
Anna A. Hlntxc, former superintendent of the
training school, had testified that Mr. Mcnet of
Orndcll was a crank. Mr. Mann was called aa
on exnert on cranks. When ho declared that
Mr. Mcnct did not belong In the crank class the
rnanacors smiled approvingly. lie had seen
Mr. Menet only four times, out he would hare
known lr he was a crnnk.Altbough Mr. Mann
Is Prcsldent'of tho East Orango Uolf Club, rides
a bicycle, plays tennis and billiards and bowl,
ho looks lino a clergyman, and therefore when
Mr. Abbott asked him his business orerybody
. ' was surprltcd. Mr. Mann then gave his detlni
" tlon of a crank.
'A crank." ho sstd, "is a person whose judg
ment cannot bo trusted; who is so prejudiced or
biased as to inako it Impossible for him to take a
common sense rlow ot things."
Mrs. Edward Stcinbacb, Secretary of the
Board of Governors, read from tho minutes the
reports on Miss N Ilea's caso as given by tho
t Committee on Nurses. Tho reports had not ro
J (erred to tho detail of the complaints niado
and had been verbal 'BncuienU. The Judir
cunt of tho committer -s never questioned.
She did not consider It act an important that
In tho annual report for 1800 Miss Giles's
namo had been among the list of graduates.
Mr. Abbott asked:
"Do you regard your work in the training
school as a duty or a pastime!"
Mrs. Steinbach replied: "As a duty, most cer
. talnly."
Mrs. Georgo T. Dixon testified that she had
been connected with the training school for
fifteen years, had always been a member of tho
Commtttco on Nurses, on which there were nlno
povernors. They had no rulo aa to quorum.
Sometimes only two members wcro presont at
a meeting. Tho board and all tho members of
the committee had such confidence In each
other that In her opinion. It would bo a per
fectly proper proceeding for even a single mem
ber of the committee to hold n meeting. The
charges-ogainbt Miss Nllcs hnd been shocking,
. but tho opinion ot the superintendent was con
sidered as of little importance. Doctors and
patients had all agreed, when asked, that Miss
Nlles was not suited by temperament for a
nurse, and this was deemed unfile! en t. The
superintendent was expected to keep the nurses
In order, but was not paid to giro opinions.
Mrs. Dixon admitted that after a diploma had
been refused to Miss Nllcs sho hnd been sent to
nurse a scarlet fever patient: that tho school
had accepted the SI i! received for that week's
work, and that Miss Nlles had been paid
91.50, her regular salary. This was while she
was on her second probationary period.
In answer to a hypothetical ouestlon from
Lawyer Howe, which embodied all tho bad re
ports concerning Miss Nilcs, including tho
writing of poetry, painting, singing, and whis
tling, Dr. William PIcrson said that the gover
nors had been perfectly justified in refusing
the diploma, and that tbclr action was neces
sary in order to maintain the school's high
Standard.
Testimony In rebuttal will be offered next
tj week, and It Is said that specimens of Miss
Nlles s poetry will bo Introduced to show that
It is of a Bort that would not affect any sick
person. Senator Daly will also bring in evi
dence showing that the training school for
nurses is an Incorporated body and has no legal
right to -withhold a diploma after a nurse has
completed tho course of study prescribed by
the school rules and passed examinations sat
I lifactorily.

The American clipper ship Benjamin Bewail,
which arrlrcd at this port from China on Oct.
10 and has since been lying at the foot ot Jeffer-'
son street. East River, has two prisoners aboard,
who complain that they do not get enough to
eat, and that if it waa not for the kindness of
the customs Inspectors, who are watching them
day and night, they might go hungry and per
haps starvo.
The prisoners are Chinamen. One was the
forecastle cook of the clipper, and the other the
cabin steward. The cook la about 00 years old.
and tho steward about 33. Tbey naturally do
not want to escape from the ship, for the ship
owes them each fino, but It is legally necessary
that they should bo watched and not permitted
to go ashore; so, four of Uncle Sam's btuc
coated Inspectors are on duty, two by day and
two by night, to look after the Chinamen. The
day men get $1 a day and the night men VS.
They will hnve boon on duty forty-two days to
day, and their services will havo cost the Gov
ernment $DB8.
The plight of tho Chinamen Is caused by the
operation ot tho Chinese Exclusion act and the
filing of a libel against tho ship by Grace Co.
for repair oono in Valparaiso. Grace tc Co.
presented a bill for 814,000 to CapL A. M.
Bewail, who Is the chief owner ot the ship. The
bill waa regnrded by the skipper as too steep,
and It was not settled. Just after the ship ar
rived here sho was libelled. Tbo Captain had
other financial troubles, some of wbleh have
beon settled in his favor. A part of the wagos
due tothewhlto members of tho crew has been
paid to them. . .
The Captain was not permitted by the United
States Shipping Commissioner to pay the China
men anything until It became apparent that
they would bo sent out of the country, either on
tho 8owo.ll or on some other vessel. They cannot
bo landed as, under tho ltw, Chlnamon who aro
not resldeuts ot the United States aro permitted
merely to remain here while in transit, during
which period they are put under bond. Tho
stoward and tbo cook can't get bonds and want
their wages first.
Capt. Sewall has only enough means on hand
for the sustonnnto of nlmsclr and his wife, who
lives aboard the ship with him. He Is not bound
to provide for the Chlnamon. He does so, how
ever, to a limited extent, and tbo customs In
spectors help him out. Tbo Chinamen ceased to
be moiubors of tho ship s crow after she arrived,
and all hands wero formally discharged. There
Is nothing In tho law, tho inspectors on the ship
say, providing ror the feeding ot excluded
Chinamen who are not members of tho crew ot
the ship on which thoy are confined.

Lorenzo Gollltlello, 40 years old, an Italian
street sweeper, who lived at 171 Mulberry

curred, botweon them until last night. Both
men had been drinking during the day, and
when they mot In the rear hall on tbe ground
floor about 7 o'clock thoy wero ready for a
quarrel. Tho old trouble was at once raked up,
and Gallltiello reflected on tho character of the

Set away, but Cesare followed him and plunged

WHO WANTS A GOOD JOB?
ADDRBSI l ZSTTSK AT OitOK TO
DR. JT. A. CROFFUT.
His Brother Will Clvn as a Month and the
Best Hoard Any One Conld Brslro" to Any
American Who Will Work on His rsna-St,
at tast, the tteeter Told His Aadlence,
Mr. Thomas Hlckey of 170 Atlantio avenue, a
stump speaker for the Socialists Labor party
and nntll recently a machinist for the Boston
Dry Dock Company, Is the prospective possessor
of a "twenty-Ave-dollar-a-tnonth-and-board"
Job on a Connecticut (arm. His good luck came
about through his attending the meeting ot the
Brooklyn Philosophical Association at the Long
Island Business Collego yesterday afternoon.
Dr. W. A. Croft ut of Washington, tbe author ot
tbe World'i Fair dedication poem and for
seron rears connocted with the United States
Geological Surrey, addressed tho meeting on
" Is Congress tho Enemy of Plenty I"
Dr. Croffut spoko ot laws restricting labor,
uch at tho Eight Hour law and the Prison Labor
law, as being the result ot two widespread do
luslons, ono that there was a predetermined
amount ot work to be done in the country In
any given year and tho other that the less work
thero was done the higher would no the pay ot
those working.
"Those doluslons seem plausible until you be
gin to think," said the doctor. "Tbe law con
demning convicts to idleness I consider one of
tho most infamous laws ever enacted by a civi
lized country and one ot tbe greatest industrial
mistakes ever made."
Ho sold that wages in 1770 were 23 cents a
day; that In 1800 they had risen to 00 cents, in
1830 to 91. In 1600 to $2, and in 1800 to H.
He said that, reasoning by analogy, they would
bo8lnl20.
"We won't get any wages then. Well divide
In a different way," said a Socialist in the audi
ence. " Thero wero moro tramps in proportion to tho
population In 1800 than there aro to-day," said
Dr. Croffut. "Some say thero wero no tramps
till after the war, but that Isn't so. It is only
truo that thon they were not called tramps. My
mother called them 'codgers.' and my grand
mother called them 'shacks, but thoy knew
how to avoid the woodpllo and ask at tno back
door for pie just tho same as thoy do now. Tbe
genus persists; It is only the namo that
chnnges."
Dr. Croffut said It was preposterous for any
one to complain of being crowded In this vast
country, anil that thero was plenty of room tor
all.
"See how the price of farm labor has gone
up." said he. "In my father's ttnio ho could
fet all tho laborers he wanted, strong young
rishmen, who could speak good English, for $8
a month and their board. To-day my brother Is
working that same Connecticut form that my
father bad, and ho has to pay from $10 to $24 a
month to a lot of Polos, who, as he says, don't
know the difference between n horse and a hoo
handle. ' I wish,' said my brother only tbe other
day, 'thatl could get Americans to work on my
farm. I'd willingly nay them ?25 a month and
give them tbe best board any one could desire.' "
"I'll accept the position now," interrupted
Mr. Hickcy.
"I know that kind of acceptance, said the
doctor. "Seven months ago two men said the
sarao thing to mo in Washington, but I haven't
seen them since."
"You'll see mo all right," said Mr. Hlckey
confidently.
"Maybe thero aro a good many In this audi
ence who aro In want of such a job," said the
doctor, with a tinge of sarcasm.
" I'll get you Are hundred," said n voire.
In the discussion n hlch followed Mr. Thomas
Hlckey was on hand to declare his hatred of tho
privileged classes and his belief that though
" figures nover He, liara do figure."
"But all that," said Mr. Hlckey, "won't pre
vent my doing good work on your brother's
farm."
After the lecture Dr. Croffut was somewhat
taken aback to find that the ex-machinist was
in earnest about wanting to tako the job that
had offered itself. Ho finally agreed to branch
the subject to his brother when he eats bis
Thanksgiving dinner on the old farm next week.
"But what 11 you do about working with those
Poles I" said the doctor.
"Oh. that'll bo all.rlght," said Hlckey. " JuBt
leave them to mo."
"I've two members of my famllr that I'm
helping to support thnt would bo glad ot a job,
doctor, said a man standing near.
"1 can get you 11 vo hundred," Bald another.
As tbo doctor left the ball he was followed by
a small crowd who wanted to mako application
for those Jobs cither for themselves or friends.
It was loarned after the lecture that letters ad
dressed to 10 Wall street, room 72, will be for
warded to Dr. Croffut.

who had just jumpod upon a New York trolloy
car, which was speeding down the hill. Koerber
thought quickly and glnnced ud the streot. Tho
next New York car would bo along ten minutes
later and would be of littlo use in an Indian
chase.
Just then, howevor, Koerber saw a Fifteenth
avenue car swinging into Sprinirflold avenue,
and, springing aboard, he told tho motonunn to
go straight ahead, without stopping, and over
take tbe car ahead. Tho motorman showed
considerable interest In the chase, and managed
to roacn ono sldo ot Broad street as the Now
York car stooped on the other side. Tbe police
man jumped otf and ran across Broad street.
The big Indian saw him coming, ard, spring
ing from tbo car, loped down Market street with
htBbat In bis hand and his longhair Hying.
Koerber pursued him shouting "Stop thief I
and at Boavcr street a man got in tbe Indian's
way, but when Bonda made a movement to
ward his bipiocket tbe man abandoned interest
in thiol catching. Tbe Indian ran through
Beaver street with Koerber gntningonhim and
shouting. At tho corner ot Clinton and Mul
berry street was a crowd of young men, who
saw tbe Indian coming with the policeman
in pursuit, and formed a line to intercept
tbe fleeing man. As Bonda tried to break
through the line be was tripped up. Ho fell
heavily with two football players on top of blm
and another holding him by his coarse black
hair. Koerber took him to Police Headquarters,
where be said bo had no idea how ho got tho
watches which were found In his pockets. Ho
said bo was drunk on Saturday night and went
homo with Tanner, who let him Bhare bis bed.
lie was commlttod for trial.

. ZJXAN 'ABBOTT OH PAUZ,
i ' '
Browning a Philosopher Among Peels, Paal
a root Among Philosophers.
The Rot. Dr. Lyman Abbott dellrered In Plym
outh Church, .Brooklyn, last night the first ot a
series of Sunday evening lectures on the llfo
ant! epistles of Paul. It bad been announced
that he had made an especial study of this sub
ject, and a largo audience filled tho church.
In tho beginning Dr. Abbott laid stress on tho
point that he did not Intend to do anything but
Interpret tho llfo and writings ot Paul, and that
his object was not to preach any sermons on
points that might como up. Furthermore,
Dr.; Abbott said he should not attempt to for
mulate a system ot theology from Paul's
teachings, or to show that Paul hod any such
system, for he believed that ho had none.
Among other things. Dr. Abbott said;
"Of Plato's writings we haro nt least throo
octavo volumes, but of Paul's writings we hare
at most only ahoui forty ordinary pages, Paul
waa nblo to producoa mighty impression, partly
becauso ho was enigmatical, but mainly
because ho govo an interpretation of ancient
Christian life. Ho was n man who saw tho
truth in a. flash, and in this ho was Uko Plato,
Enter ion, Carlylc, or Browning. Ha had Ideas
fur beyond tho consciousness of blsngc, and
perhaps 'even of ours, and tho langungo which
he used was incapable ot expressing his mean
ing. Ho waa a great orator; ho calmed a mob
by which ho was attacked, and ho mado Felix,
tho hardost Roman ot them all, tremble As
an orator, he fairly poured his passion forth.
And to think that men should discuss him aa
It ho wero an iceberg drifting down from tbe
Arctia zonol Ho always addressed his
words to particular people, in particular
Instances, and under particular circumstances,
and this fact makes blm hard to under
stand. He was n.Brownlng who was on tiro
with a. moral Intensity which Browning never
know. Browning was a philosopher among
poets, but Paul was a poet among philoso
phers. Paul saw that tho night was almost
over and that dawn waa about to break."
After tbe lecture Dr. Abbott answered a few
questions put to him by persons in the audi-enco.
TTARSEATriAK IB PERSECUTED.
The Bar. Henry Varley Defends tho Presby
terian Mlssloner to the Jewe.
The Rer. nenry Varley, an English Evangel
ist, who says be was sent to this country to In
vestigate the charges against Hermann Wars
zawlak, the converted Jow, who has been at
work as a missionary among the Jews here,
has issued a letter giving his views of the case.
Ho declares his emphatic belief in the innocence
of Warszawlak of the charges of gambling,
dishonesty, and Immorality, and, although he
gives no facts to substantiate the statement,
boldly declares tbe Jewish mlssloner the victim
of a conspiracy gotten up by tho Rev. A. F.
Schautllcr and Morris K. Jcsup. Mr. Varley
says that Mr. Jusup furnished the money to pay
Jewish spies to shadow Warszawlak and find
evidence of bis guilt.
He Bays that the clerical trial of Warszawlak
by the session ot tho Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church, whose finding was afterward confirmed
by tho commission nppolntod by the Presbytery,
was unjust and illegal, and that Dr. Schaufller
has bo far been unchecked In his expressed in
tention to " crush the little Jew and drive blm
out of the city." Mr. Vnrloy adds that Dr.
Schaufflcr's enmity is the result of Warszawlak's
success as a mlssloner and of bis remarkable
strength of charncter.
Mr. Varley, who is now in Boston, says that
he has sent copies of his letter to the Rev. Dr.
John Hall of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
Church, to Warszawlak and to tbe English,
Scotch and Canadian missionary headquarters.
Tbo value ot his Impressions about tbe case is
somewhat weakened by bis confidently ex
pressed belief that tbo Presbytery would sustain
Warszawlak's appeal. Tbe appeal was rejected
unanimously last week.

Henry Van Dyke, D. D of the Brick Presby
terian Church mado A brief address. He said
in part:
"Tho best Christian work Is being 'done to-day
In tho worst places, because it is thero most
needed, I believe that no moro honost, thor
ough, comcientlous Christian work Is being
done anyhwero than in this wicked city in
which wo live. The society we are considering
to-ntght has a history. It has been seventy
nine years at work, but is Just as fresh and
vigorous as ever. Tho sea Is always interest
ing because of its mystery, and much of this
interojt pertalt.s to tho seaman. I hnvo noticed
that camen are either very good or very bad.
I knew an old sailor who was converted, and
when ho rose to give his first testimony he
said: I was a damn sinner.' The man told
tho truth. It Is not an easy task to minister to
eeamen, because of the many temttatlona
which surround them and the want of religious
Influence. But when a sailor Is converted ho Is
a genuine Christian and does not keep It to
himself."
Tho Ror. Andrew V. V. Raymond, Presi
dent of Union College, followed Dr. Van Dyke,
and tho meotlng closed with an offering for the
work of the socictr.
