EtKEH Ell SERMoM.
Completion of MIR. kramer's ministerial
Work in brooklyn.


The Rev. George II. Kramer, formerly
of this city, preached his farewell SER
mon as pastor of Union Ayenne Baptist
Church, Brooklyn, N. y, Sunday.
His resignation was rendered some
weeks ago, to 60 into effect at the end
Of July. He proposes to remain in
Brooklyn two or three weeks longer.
Before accepting another pastorate he
probably will visit Europe.
The real reason for his resignation
was the failure of his people in the
Union Avenue Church to fall in with
the proposition to unite with the First
or Noble Street Baptist Church. With
the uptown trend oil population in the
Seventeenth ward and the massing of
churches of all denominations in one
section the struggle for existence is a
serious one. Two Baptist and two
Methodist churches exist within a
stones throw of each other when one Of
each denomination would be amply
sufficient. When the Rev. ID. g.
Hughes was pastor of the Union
Avenue Church, ten years ago, the
present fine edifice was erected and an
era of prosperity was enjoyed for a
period. But the burden of debt un-
dertaken served to put a damper upon
the growth of the society, and despite
all efforts made by succeeding pastors
the membership has declined. The came
has been true Of the First Church since
the days Of DR.. Miller. The Rev.
Samuel ]. Knapp recently resigned
from it. The two churches are almost
identical in numbers and value of
property, u slight advantage being en-
joyed by the First Church. 1t has 392
members and the Union Avenue Church
315, but the Sunday school Of the latter
numbers boo, while that Of the former
has only 464 members. The Noble
street property is valued at $50, 1000 and
the debt upon it il $500 while the
Union Avenue property is placed at
$4,000, with a debt Of $1,000. The
former raised $G,575 last year and the
latter S4,537.

JENA, Aug. Prince Bismarck ar
rived here yesterday, accompanied by
Count Herbert and his bride, and was
given most enthusiastic reception. He
made tour of the town in q carriage,
the University students in full strength
forming a guard Of honor and lining the
entire route.
Replying to an address presented by
the representatives of the University,
Prince Bismarck sketched the events
preceding the founding Of the empire
and added that he had many difficulties
to overcome with the late emperor
what he might call behind the scenes
diplomacy, which was sometimes harder
than foreign diplomacy People said
that the Bismarck policy had luck. He
wished he could say that other ministers
and chancellors were lucky. He adj
vised his countrymen to produce a
strong parliamentary majority so as to
prevent absolutism or government by
bureaucracy. Some found fault, he said,
with his criticisms, but he would con
tnue to speak his mind, whatever the
consequences might be,
Fifteen thousand people greeted the
prince in the market place in the after
noon. The platform on which the dis
tinguished guests were seated, being
guarded by corps OF students. The
burgomaster, in proposing the health of
Prince Bismarck, contrasted the state of
Germany at the beginning Of the cen
fury with that of to day, and alluded
10 the battle Of Jena and the downfall
Of Prussia, concluding with the words !:
after Bismarck no second Jena defeat
is possible"
A student in an address pledged all
the students of Germany to carry for
ward the work begun by Bismarck.
In his address Prince Bismarck said :
II have sworn to found Protestant
empire. 1t is therefore out of question
to try to rule with a Catholic party as
the chief factor. We must take the
present Catholic party rs an example
and must initiate them and form a
united party against Catholic influence
Il say nothing against the supremacy
Of the Catholic party or of Catholic
influence or of foreign influence. 1t
would even be preferable to have a
papal nuncio in Berlin SO that our re-
sponsible party leaders should not, as at
present, give colored and untrustworthy
reports to the pope"
Referring TO what he called false
policy of the government, the ex-chan-
cellor said that so fast as the govern
ment gains Germanizing influence
over the polls, that infuenceis captured
by the Catholic party. He concluded
by comparing himself to Gocthe's Goels
Won Berlichingen, who, although faith
fui subject Of the kalser's refused to
recognize the kaiser's commissioners,
and when besieged gave free utterance
to his opinions. He was to-day, he
said, in the same position-a faithful
servant of the kaiser-but he had the
right TO express the sharpest criticisms
on the kaiser's advisers.
The speech was received with en-
thusiastic cheers.

No external remedy ever vet devised has
SO fully and un9nestionably me: these
three prime questions as successfully as
Allcock's Porous Plasters. They are safe
because they contain no deleterious drugs
and are manufactured upon scientific prin-
ciples of medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingredients
which are exactly adapted to the purposes
for which plaster is required. They are
speedy in their action because their medici-
nal qualities go right to their work of re
lieving pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions of
muscles, nerves and skin. Do not be de-
ccived by Misrepresentation. Ask for
Allcock's, and let no solicitation or ex-
PLANTATION induce youto accepta substitute.

store was guarded by policemen while
the work of clearing up the debris was
going on inside. The stock on the first
and second floors was much affected by
the fire. A table filled with cut glass
and china stood almost under the flames
on the first floor. The table was heaped
with Royal Worcester, Dresden, Rudal-
stadt, Belluli and other china. The
firemen managed the fire so well that
these goods were untouched by water
with the exception Of few small
pieces. Broken pieces of onyx, clock
works, lamps, vases and other fragments
filled the table. Among the articles
destroyed were some clocks belonging
TO customers who had neglected to call
for them. One was locomotive clock.
A shade for standing lamp valued at
1874 was one of the articles DESTROYED.
A large show case standing near the
stairway leading to the second story
was wrecked. II contained silver cups,
salt and pepper shakers, napkin rings,
tea bells and small solid and plated
wares. Some of the articles were
melted. Two large show cases on the
north side of the store were also
wrecked. The glass on top was five
sixteenth of an inch thick. The con-
tents were solid silver. The quicksilver
on the mirror in the door near the end
of the case was melted. The wall cases
were not so badly damaged. The cell
ing was damaged One handsome
regulator clock was affected by the heat,
A painting by Salvador Rosa, the
Italian artist, a battle scene, was ruined.
A marine view by Hamilton, valued at
$500, was also destroyed, while a num-
Der of others were damaged ....

by the heat. The temper was taken
from all of the clocks, with single eX
ception rendering them worthless.
During the FIRE Jacob Kopp, mem
Der Of the Fame Hose company, was
arrested and locked up by Sergeant
| Chambers. The sergeant had given
| orders that no one be allowed to enter
the building who did net wear fire
mans badge. Kopp took exception to
this order, and, it is said, abused the
sergeant and got locked up. Chief
Shields expressed himself as satisfied
with the action of the sergeant and with
the work of the police throughout.
Mr. Rudolph will probably be obliged
to secure temporary place of business
during the work of repairing the dam
