years chairman of the standing committee of
the church and any one wishing confirmation
church manual. The duties of the standing
committee are coequal with those of the
deacons of the church and they represent the
sentiment OF the membership of the church
more fully than do the trustees of the So
ciety (not OF the church) who are not in all
cases even members of the church.
Mr.. Brown states that he has carefully
looked over the church membership, and can
not find in opposition more than the six who
signed the call" In the first place there were
more than six members of the First Church
who signed the call, but some very prominent
members who did not sign it have expressed
their disa pproval OF the course and conduct OF
Mr.. Brown in regard TO the whole Heron
controversy.
Much might be said regarding Mr.. Browns
statements about his sermon attacking Pro-
lessor Heron but would state that il is a we'll
known fact-which can be proven-that the
sermon was read from the printed circular of
which portions were omitted and several bitter

STILL HOLDS THE PAPERS,
General Dickinson Acting as
Commander of the Sec
Ond Brigade.
He and His Staff Are Declared Re-
tired by Acknowledgement
Barrett.

General John II. Dickinson still thinks
he is general OF the Second Brigade and re-
tains its papers. He explains that it is
not because he desires to retain the posi-
ton but because he thinks the steps al
ready taken are contrary to law. Until his
lawyers give him their opinion to the con-
trary he will continue in the opinion that
he still retains his old rank, in spite of the
appointment of General Warfield.
Adjutant-General A. w. Barrett, who
took his office on Friday, and G c. Allen,
who retired at the same time, were at the
California Hotel yesterday. Neither of
them could throw much light on the ques-
ton. General Barrett evidently considers
Mr.. Warfeld the general.
al issued my first orders yesterday" he
said. ''They are now in the hands of the
printer and will be made public in a few
days. In these orders / enumerate the
officers who have been retired by the new
law and give their titles. General Dickin-
sons name and the names of his entire
staff are in this list. I think there will be
no trouble about the matter"
General Allen said that the affair was
not a matter of orders, but of law. He ex-
planned that according to the statutes a
general can be retired only after he has
served a certain length of time and has
made request that he be put on the re-
tired list. He emphasized the fact that it
was essential for him to ask to be retired
Now the new law says that the officers
of the brigades which have been changed
shall be retired said General Allen. GAS
1 understand it, General Dickinson's po-
sition is that there has been no change in
his brigade, and that therefore the new law
does not affect him.
81 am sure he is not captious in this. He
informed Governor Budd some time ago
that his resignation would be rendered
whenever it was desired. But he wants to
keep within the law and feels that the law
has not been complied with.
''Who do | think is general? Frankly
| admit that 1 am incapable of Judging. 1t
is legal matter entirely and depends
upon the construction the authorities may
put upon the law. No order by the Gov
ernor or djutant-general can affect it,"
General Dickinson expected to receive
the opinion of his attorneys yesterday.
He was disappointed. He will have
to wait until Monday. His actions will
depend entirely upon their reading of the
statute

1.-THE PRINCESS"
Miss Lakes School Made q Pleasing De-
parture From the Usual Order
of Things.

The graduating exercises of Miss Lakes
well-known school for girls, which were
held Friday night in the commodious hall
of the National Armory on Ellis street,
proved to be pleasing departure from the
usual programme carried out by classes Of
sweet girl graduates.
The armory assembly hall, which has
never before in its brief history given signs
that were not warlike, was adorned with
the lily and the rose.
Fourteen graduates crowded the flowers
on the stage and surpassed them in beauty
The audience, which had come by invita-
ton and permission, made the hall as
crowded as the stage.
The exercises by which the class enter
tanned its friends included no graduating
essays. Tennyson's Princess" as rem
dered by the class was offered in contrast
to the usual programme. This order of
things was created by Miss Lake. 1t was
suggested to her by the Woman's Congress
now in session, and it presented the poets
idea Of the new woman in contrast with
the idea now being discussed. There was
first the sweet chorus, "Sweet and Low"
and then a scene from "The Princess"
given by the class. The songs and choruses
them.
Rev. George E. Walk offered prayer
and gave an address, the central idea of
which was that woman should abandon
rose-leaf romanticism for practical aims in
life After the presentation OF diplomas
the class gave delightful reception to a
crowd of friends at the elegant new quar-
tiers of the school at 1884 Suffer street.
Thus closed the seventh year of this school.

BROWN IS CRITICIZED.
Some of His Congregation Take Excep-

between Rev. DR.. Brown and some of his
congregation. DR.. Jordan, president of

brief responses from two of the gentlemen
mentioned.
