1.-THE RECORD OF THE TABERNACLE.
FINANCIAL STRUGGLES or THE ORGANIZATION
LOSSES BY PREVIOUS FIRES.


The destruction By fire OF three successive
churches occupied by the same congregation, which
has occurred In the pastora.e OF DR.. Ta'mage in
the Brooklyn Tabernacle is believed u be un-
paraeled in the history Of any congregation under
a single pastor. The Tabernacle was adopted as
the name for the Central Presbyterian Church Of
Brooklyn after Dr. Talmage called as It's pas
tor from Philadelphia in 1909 The church then
occupied an old-fsshioned structure in Scherner-
horn-st. The eloquent new pastor soon over
crowded 1t. in spite OF the fact that there was only
a handful Of members when he was called TO the
pulpit. In 1870 six lots were purchased adjoining
the church. and upon this site novel building was
erected l. was constructed OF corrugated IRON and
the seats were arranged In semi-crces The seating
capacity about 1000. The organ which had
been used at Gllmores Peace Jubilee in Boston
was put in 1t. The building soon thronged but
one Sunday morning in December. 1872. the con-
eregaton, on going to church, found the building
IN ruins 1t had been burned in the early part of
the day. and It was supposed that defective hue
caused the fire. The congregation at once DECIDED
TO rebuild and on the site substantial brick
church was constructed. II was ampAiiheatrica IN
form with horseshoe gallery and seated over
1900 persons In this structure, which was dedi-
Gated In 1874. DR.. Talmage preached for fifteen
years He addressed many great audiences and
the membership OF his church was increased until
II became the largest in Brooklyn. .Dr. Talmage
had made his arrangements to make extended
trip 10 the Holy Land in the latter part OF 1882
when one Sunday morning in October the church
was burned TO the ground. The fire occurred about
a. NJ. and 1t was thought that the electric light
wires were struck by lightning and set the build
ing fire. 1t insured for $4,000 and after the
debts were paid and the site was sold. there was
SIS 900 left for the church.
The Academy OF Music was hired for the services
OF the year more spent In rebuilding DIR. Tai

the Holy Land. and ir his absence number Of

HOLES AND HILLS.

Citizsns Protesting Against tho Uneven
btreots.
Joseph II. Call, the we'll known attcr-
ney. sends a petition to the council
which will be heard on Monday direct
ing the attention OF not only that body,
but the mayer and the board of health
as well, to several large holes containin g
water on West Second street, essterly
from its junction with First street.
Each of these holes, he etys, coneti-
tutes a public nuisance, dangerous to
health and life. "These nuisances have
existed for several months" he contin-
ues. 'aad you are doubtless familiar
with your poser and duty, as we'll rs
your personal liability resulting from
any public nuisance OF which you have
knowledge"
DR.. West Hughes says in communi-
oation to the council: ''If you would
require the contractor to run a heavy
roller over the ridge OF earth that is left
after o sewer is laid you would earn tho
gratitude of all the citizens OF Los An.

INTERESTING BIRDS.

Genuine African Ostriches to Be Soon
With the Great Syndicate Circus.
Giant African ostriches are great
curiosity, and but few OF them have ever
been seen in this country, and they lived
but q short while, owing to the rigor OF
the climate. The big birds usually
called ostriohes, now go extensively bred
on the so-called ostrich farms of Califor-
mia, are really not ostriches. They
belong to the same species, but are a
mongrel branch of the true family. Ite
native place is Australia and not Africa,
and the bird is really an emu, and is
only about half the size OF the ostrich,
and has not the brilliant and luxurious
plumage OF the latter bird.
The only flock of African os,riches in
America is owned by the Great Syndi-
cate circus. whose well.known circus
exhibits in Los Angeles Friday and Sat-
urday, October 10th ard 10th. Six OF
them were imported by these managers.
and they are q wonderful feature. Each
IL "a large az horse, and can easily out
run that animal.
This popular circus is q three-rinR
show. and it also has great hippodrome
track on which exciting races are run.
This year prices have been reduced to 50
cents for adults and 25 cents fos chill
