Resolutions OF Resnecf.

Report OF the committee on the death of
our beloved sister, Mrs. II. o. Houston, who
was taken from our midst on the 18th day OF
October 1893:
We feel that words are not at our command
to express the high appreciation which we. as
Sunday school, had for this dear mother in
Israel, and now. with sud hearts. we say that
in her death our Sunday school. church and
city has been made poorer. for in her the sum
day school had friend the church jealous
worker. the community one who was ever
found working to relieve the distressed and
afflicted. and speaking words of comfort to
the sorrowing. Her life was made of good
works aud deeds and We keenly feel her loss
for the church which she so devotedly loved
and the Sunday school in which she had been
a Jealous worker for more than thirty years
are now deprived of her christian presence
and prayers. but we thank God for her pure
life and example, and in the language of
Holy Writ say, Though dead, yet speaketh, "
therefore be it
RESOLVED, First, That in the death of this
precious sister our Sunday school has been
deprived of one of its best friends, the
church one of its most loyal and devoted
members, the community a pure christian,
whose life is worthy of emulation and her
family its center of attraction. for around
her clustered sisters, brothers, children and
grandchildren whom she loved and made
happy By her many kindnesses.
Precious in the eyes of the Lord are the
death of his Saints
To her befeaved loved ones we can truth
fully say that you have a treasure in Heaven,
in the legacy your sister. mother and grand
mother has left you in the pure. we'll rounded
life she lived, and 1t cannot be valued as is
geld, but is above price
Words seeming to fail to express our feel
ings. ne close by asking Gods blessing on all
who loved her, and would say follow her as
she followed her Savior. then in the sweet
by and by you viii see her again.
RESOLVED, Second. That the Secretary of
the Sunday school place the resolutions upon
the records of the Sunday school and that a

The Pulse of New York.

Sensationalism reigned supreme at
this house yesterday. As usual, the
theatre was packed and the melo-
drama, The Pulse of New York, was
presented by Miss Carrie Sweeney
and q very capable company amid
demonstrative expressions OF ap-
prevail from the audience. As the
title implies, the story is based on
incidents and introduces characters
common in the great metropolis
The play yesterday had the adyan-
tage Of an exceptionally good stag
ing The scenery is feature and
climaxes are exeitably sensational
A pile-driver in full operation, a mas
siye pile being driven in full view Of
the audience, and while the engine is
in full operation the hero is laid IN
der the hammer and is rescued by
the heroine, who isconfned in tool
house and reaches the hero Just as
the hammer DEFENDS. 1t is a thrill
ing situation and arouses much en-
thusiasm.
There is a realistic elevated rail-
road scene, with the hero and
heroine hanging from the ties While
two trains pass at full speed. Miss
Carrie Sweeney, in her portrayal OF
six distinct characters, made hit.
She is full OF dash, dances gracefully
and is the possessor of fine high
soprano voice OF unusual sweetness.
Her songs and speeialties won many
encores. The supporting company
is OF merit, and introduces at oppor-
tune times many clever specialties.-

The question whether children in re-
formatorles should be whipped was dis
cussed, but left undecided. by the confer
epce on the care Of dependent and delin-
quent children at tho United Charities
building in Fourth avenue. The preponder-
ating sentiment. however. seemed to be In
favor OF the whipping. and. according to the
Superintendent Of the New York Juvenile
Asylum. bodily chastisement ia a means OF
correction which the managers OF all such
institutions are compelled to use at times.
Formerly the same opinion and practice
prevailed in private families and In schools.
Spare the rod and spoil the child. was an
injunction which was generally needed as
an inspiration OF heaven. The switch was an
implement OF family discipline which was
regarded as absolutely necessary In every
well-regulated household. In the early days
In New England a functionary Of the church
was armed with it In order to keep the boys
quiet and respectful In the house OF worship.
Tho parsons preached that its use IN domes-
tic discipline was religious obligation.
Pious fathers made the trouncing of boy
such function. by Offering up prayer be-
fore giving the youngster the licking. The
theory. too. was that the punishment
should be inflicted early In the life OF the
child, as q means Of correcting his original
deprayity. Hence babies were spanked
soundly when they seemed to cry from
mere cantankerousness. 1t was a pious
effort TO whip the devil out OF them, and
throughout their childhood the rod was
kept handy for the purpose Of continuous
assault on the old adversary. Instructive
parental affection was as strong then as it
is now. Parents did not start out to whip
their children because they enjoyed giving
them pain, but because they wanted to save
their souls.
The difficulty about the business as a
purely religious exercise is that the devil is
likely to take charge of 1t. lis it possible"
suggested modest feminine philosopher
at the conference Of which we are speaking.
that you can whip child and not lose
your temper2" To lose your temper is to
yield to sinful impulse. and then the ex-
ercise degenerates into sin furnishing sin.
The striking OF Il blow at another may let
loose the savage instincts. 1t Is likely
to stimulate passion; and the whipping
OF children can be justified only as
calm exercise of authority for
wholly conscientious purpose. In very
many. II not In most. cases OF such domestic
discipline. exact justice requires that after
the whipping the whipper himself should
be whipped: and oftentimes when he cools
on after the excitement his own conscience

The Lost Arctic Travellers.

Dispatches from Dundee last week an
nounced the arrival Of the Arctic whaler
Aurora with news that settles the fate of
the missing Norwegian explorers. There
were five men In the party. and they should
have returned to st. Johns. Newfoundland.
q year ago. but nothing was heard OF them
after they left Disko early In the summer
OF 1899. 1t Ia a sad story. and the two bright
young enthusiasts and their three hardy
comrades deserved better fate. though
they invited the fate that overlook them.
The whalers discovered on the shore OF
Baffin Bay. at point not specified. cairn
which they stopped to examine. In 1t was
q record OF the loss OF the schooner Ripple.
which the young men BJ0RLING and KALI
sTIsIUs had purchased at st. Johns. The
record said the Ripple went ashore In Au-
gust last year. total wreck. The party
then went north In their small boat to Smith
Sound. to carry out a part OF their work.
About the end Of September they returned
south to the Carey Islands. undoubtedly to
secure the food supplies which the MARES
expedition left there. On Oct. 10 they were
about to start across the bay for Lancaster
Sound, to meet some whaler returning from
Its summer cruise and thus secure passage
home. That is all we know of them. The
Captain Of the whaler believes the frail
craft did not live to reach the west coast.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1893-11-18

tells him so. Accordingly. the rod has
fallen into disuse In thoughtful and reason
ablo households OF this day. Moreover,
the constituencies which resents the infiic-
ton OF pain and is distressed by the sight
Of pain is now almost morbidly delicate.
The whipping OF children and even Of beasts
has decreased greatly.
This conferences dropping Of its discus
sion upon the need Of the rod In reforma-
tories for delinquent children was substan-
TALLY an acknowledgement that in them
such bodily chastisement Is necessary.
The children committed to these institutions
are there because they are refractory under
the usual means OF discipline. They are
wild animals who can DO tanned only by the
exercise OF physical force. A newspaper
which is always ready to provoke social dis
order charges Superintendent BRoCKwAY OF
the Elmira Reformatory with inflicting cruel
punishments to the reprobates under his
charge In that model institution. Heis q man
distinguished throughout the world as ono
OF the best living authorities on prison dis
cipline. and 1t Is presumable that the pun
ishments no inflicts are OF no more than
necessary severity, as determined by a
scientific understanding OF tho subject. 1t
would be rs reasonable to accuse q superin-
tendent Of an insane asylum Of brutality
because he puts straitjacket on raving
maniac as to assume that Superintendent
BRocKwAY Is q monster OF inhumanity
simply because he holds refractory and
desperate youths under subsection by
means OF the only punishment they fear.
