was held last night In the Pilgrim Congregational
Church under the auspices OF the Committee on
Christian Citizenship. DR.. Josiah Strong, Commits
sioner Sheffield. OF the Fire Department: DR.. G.. f.
Carson OF Brooklyn, and Police Commissioner An
drews spoke. DR.. Strong said that the taking up
OF the fight for good government by the young peo-
pie was an encouraging thing. He said that the
statement had been made by eminent authority
that 1t took twenty yeais to bring about public
change Of sentiment and reform In England. and II

good citizenship among the young people of to-
day means triumphant success early In the next
century.
Commissioner Sheffield said that he respected a
political opponent who voted against him, but had
a contempt for the good man who did not take
enough interest In the public welfare to vote. Dr.
Carson said that going TO the primaries was a
religious duty Commissioner Parker spoke In the

The Jury In Recorder COTS part OF General
Sessions which has been trying VICTOR D.
Flechter the Union Square music dealer accused
Of having in his possession the Stradivarius
violin stolen from the late Professor Jea"
Joseph Bott, went out at 3:45 p. m. yesterday
At 2:2O o'clock this morning the jury returned
to the courtroom with a verdict Of guilty
When the verdict was announced. Flechter
said, In an excited way Let me tell the truth
He Will be sentenced on Monday, The maximum
penalty is five years.
When court opened yesterday morning Assist
ant District-Attorney Osborne. who began sum-
ming up on Wednesday, continued his address,
which was marked by frequent chickering's be-
tween the speaker and Mr. Palmer. the opposing
counsel.
Mr. Osborne here gave little variety 70 me
proceedings by reading ballad called Il Am
Simple Little Ostrich but Know 1t All The
ballad depicted the fate of an ostrich who was
suffering from a "swelled head" in his or her
African wllds. and who dared the hunters bows
and arrows. The ostrich however was finally
captured. his wings clipped, and he was exhibited
I'm n museum In London. Mr.. Osborne compared
Mr.. Palmer to the "omniscient ostrich OF the
ballad.
Let us Sec" said he. what the omniscient
ostrich has done to his client In this case. The
great Panjandrum king Palmer. took the stand
measured the violin. and proved by the meas
urements that II was not the same violin that
was exhibited in the police court. The omnis-
cIent ostrich has proved his own client mathe-
matically guilty. The law only requires that a
man shall be proved guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt but Palmer proved his own client mathe-
matically guilty when he took the stand. and
this Is the first time In my experience | ever
knew a man to be proved mathematicay guilty
Gentlemen, you can't teach Mr.. Palmer any
thing: like the ostrich. he knew Ii all
The spectators In the court seemed to be very
much amused while Mr.. OSBORNE recited the
ballad of the simple little ostrich" and there
was great laughter.
Mr. Osborne. In the course OF his address, held
the violin In his hand. Once or twice he banged
Il rather hard and Mr.. Palmer got angry.
Hold on he shouted TO Mr. Osborne Il don't
want this violin 10 be broken by crazr Assist
ant Dstrict-Attorney.
Mr. Osborne flushed up at the remark and said
"Gentlemen ~ the jury for three hours and a
half Mr. Palmer blackguarded me yesterday, and
now he blackguards me agair.
