An Eloquent Address on the Subject OF City
Evangelization.
Rev. DIR. Charles F. Deems. pastor Of the
Church of the Stranger New York city, de-
livered an address last evening to q large
audience at the New York Avenue Presby-
terrain Church on the subject of .'City Evangeli-
zation." The meeting was for the benefit of
the Central Union Mission, the officers of
which are endeavoring to raise funds for a
SO, 900 home for the mission. Rev. DR.. Bart
lett presided in the absence of Postmaster
General Wansmaker, who had been asked to
preside. A letter was read in which he re-
GREETED his inability to be present on account
of the condition of his throat. He expressed
his sympathy with the work Of the mission.
Mr.. Kimball, chairman Of the building CON-
mittee, made statement as to the amount re-
quired for the purpose Of erecting the new
home and told OF the good work the mission
was doing for the poor and unfortunate of the
city.
In speaking Of mission work DR.. Deems said:
''When am told Of the beauty Of Washington,
Of its grand Capitol building n d its other at
tractive features, / do not think 80 much of
them as do Of what Washington is doing for
the relief Of unfortunate humanity in its mis-
sion work. Every place is a missionary field
New York, Washington, Congo or Bombay"
The speaker closed his interesting address by
drawing hopeful picture Of the new building
OF the Union Mission. with its reading its writ
ing, its reception and other rooms, and made
an earnest appeal for the raising of the funds
with which to build it.
He was followed by other speakers in the
same line and the meeting closed with the
singing of the do1ology and the benediction by
DIR. Deems.

The lie Droit Park Improvement Association
Susfains the Colnaissi0ners.
A meeting of the lie Droit Park Improve
ment Association WIS held yesterday at which
the oft-discussed matter OF the Linden street
fence was the principal subject for considera-
ton. Thos. B. Campbell, the president, was
in the chair. with Mr. ]. L. MCGEE, secretary,
and Mr. NJ. G.. Kendall. corresponding secre-
tary. In order to correct the erroneous i'm
preston existing In the public mind as to this
fence, a series Of resolutions were presented
and unanimously adopted setting forth that
this association, numbering as it does mora
than seventy members, of whom nearly all are
resident owners Of real estate in said park,
cordially approves the decision Of the District
Commissioners to keep Linden street open us
a north and south thoroughfare; and that. to
the best of their belief, nearly all the nom
resident owners Of such property who are not
members of this association also approve said
decision and that, in their opinion. the per-
sistent efforts Of few men to maintain the
former obstruction in Linden street have been
detrimental. to the interests Of the park; and,
finally, that the claim Of right in anyone to
erect or maintain an obstruction in any of the
park streets is inconsistent with the right Of
way OF every lot owner.

Agent Key is not only known, but feared
He il man small in stature, but TO the
violater of the humane laws he has demon
strated on many a hard-fought field that he is
perfectly able to look out for himself, as well
as for the interests of the society. Mr.. Kew
believes thoroughly in the objects Of the So
ciety. He has an aversion TO all forms Of
cruelty and is a warm friend and ardent
admirer of that noble but much abused animal
the horse. When he sees q horse that is over
burdened or il suffering from neglected sores,
OF, in fact. when he discovers any i'll treat
ment of mans best friend. he does not hest.
tate. He fears neither threatening looks,
harsh words nor even attempts at personal vio-
lence. His vigorous. fearless enforcement OF
the Law has had wholesome effect in this city,
Men and boys who arc brutal enough to ll-treat
animals are apt first TO wait until they are in
locality where their conduct will not be re-
ported to the Humane Society. Many horse
has been saved from q cruel whipping by a.
quiet remark from some casual passer-by that
the case would be reported to the Humane
Society.
HAD TO FIGHT HIS VAT.
When Agent Key began his career a. agent
of the society tho l.x and its penalties were
not generally known, and the usual result of
his interference was a fight. Mr.. Key, how
ever. while not specially looking for affairs of
this kind. does not shun them, and his assail-
ants have generally found that . little man
with plenty of pluck is more difScuis 10 handle
than big man. However, these are the piping
times of peace for the society and Mr.. Key
life h more peaceful. although he has not re-
laxed in the vieor with which he cnforces the
Law. The police and the courts are on the
side Of the society and 20 IL public sentiment
During the past year 1886 cases Of cruelty to
animals were investigated, and - compared
with the z. 0s4 cases Investigated in 1895 shows
that the animals are receiving better trsstupent
than six years ago.

instrumental in erecting throughout the city q
number Of drinking fountains, where animals

TREATMENT OF THE INDIANS.

Commissioners Morgan Talks on the Subject
Before the Y. NJ. C. A.
An interesting talk about Indians was given
last evening in the parlors Of the Young Mems
Christian Association by Indian Commissioner
Morgan. He pointed out some mistaken notions
which were entertained in regard to the red
man. He said that the statement had been
made that the government is supporting ESQ. COO
paupers in idleness as a result of its Indian
policy. Gen. Morgan said that there were only
about 244 900 Indians all told in this country,
and Of that number ls5. 200 received supplies,
such food and clothing, from the govern
ment. These Indians worked for their living and
they were also learning civilized ways. Edu-
cation among the Indian children was making
progress. Gen. Morgan said, and there were
now about 1000 Indian children attending
school. The speaker said that it was a mistake
to suppose that Indian agents arc thieves and
rascals. Now and then a dishonest man is
discovered, but the great majority are honest
and intelligent servants of the government
The Indian service today. he said, was just as
free from corruption as the post Office service
c. the army service.

Weed withdraws, Hill a Candidate,

1t is practically conceded in Albany that
Smith NJ. Weed has withdrawn from the sena-
toriai canvass. His quarters there are closed.
This is looked upon as the best Of evidence that
he has given mp the struggle in favor of Gov.
Hill, whom, it is conceded in Albany, will
take the nomination and will be the only candi-
date before the caucus. This is argued because
it is well known that Mr.. Weed would not re-
sign in favor of any other candidate than Gov
Hill. No other name than the governors is
mentioned, and New York state officials admit
that they believe Gov. Hill is the man.
