BAREFEET SHOW MAKES TROU
BILE.

The Trilby party That was held last
Friday evening at the home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter c. Moore, in Bensonhulst,
in aid of the Bath Beach Methodist
G1urch, has stirred up no end of trou
bic among the congregation, and at the
present time it looks rs if the church
would lose at least one half of its menu
oers, because Of the "barefeet" show.
Pastor H H. BirkiDs has ordered an
Investigation and says that be will not
et the matter rest till he has brought
the leading spirits TO strict account
iag
la this he is backed by the older and
more sedate members of his flock.
The Bath Beach Methodist Church is
the aristocraiic place of worship in New
Utrecht, and many wealthy men are
among hs supporters. 1t has always
rcen noted for the excellence of its
church music and the hard, common
sense sermons preached by its pastor.
1t appears that the church recently
found that certain sum of money had
70 be raised in order to pay off q mort
gage, and one of the younger and more
enthusiastic members of pastor Birkin's
flock suggested that the trustees esk the
young women or the congregation to
act in Trilby show. At first he was
sat upon and told that the church was
not going in for anything of that kind,
even if the mortgage was foreclosed.
At last, however, certain of the mem
bers got their heads together, and after
much consultation it was decided to
give the Trilby seance, if they could
get the consent of the young women.
Pastor Birkins was not let into the Sc
cret.
Deacon Moore, one of the leading
members of the church, consented to
let the show take place in his house,
and set the date for Friday even
ing. 1t has already been told
how the good deacon auctioDed
of the Tribes. The affair passed of
smoothly enough, and Deacon Moore
was congratulatipg himself upon the
fact that he had done praiseworthy
act in raising over $500 by the perfor-
nance.
Pastor Birkins started an investiga-
ton.
He found out enough, he says, to
warrant him in laying the entire mat
ter before the Board Of Trustees of the
church, and at the present time they
are holding secret meetings.
Many of the congregation are taking
sides with Deacon Moore in the dis
cussiou, and at present it looks as if at
least one half OF Minister Birkin's fl 'ck
will get out and join some other Metho-
dist Church.
Minister Birkins was seen at his home
and from the manner in which he
spoke left no doubt as to his position
in the matter. He severely condemned
Deacon Moore for his action in allow
ing the performance in his home, and
said that no matter what the con-
dition of the church's finances were he
had no right to sanction any such act.
Miss Nellie Marbury, petite blonde
of eighteen years, was one of the young
ladies who exhibited her feet for sweet
charity's sake, and when spoken to
about it last evening said that she
wasn't at all sorry that she had done
so, and would do it again if the &C.
casion required it.

Blanco in Charge of Cuba, Weyler on

Havana, Nov. 2.-The Spanish cruis-
er Alfonso XIII, with Marshal Blanco,
the new governor-general Of Cuba, on
board, was sighted off Havana this
morning at $50. At O'Clock the
steamer entered the harbor, and Lieu
tenant General Weyler, tie Marquis
Ahumada, Admiral Navarro and other
high military and naval officers went
in special steamer to meet General
Blanco. After long and cordial con-
ference, General Weyler
yielded up his command to his succes-
sOr.
At 1920 Marshal Blanco landed.
According to the official accounts, he
was enthusiastically greeted" by the
populace, who shouted, "Long live
Blanco."
Lieutenant General Weyler and Mar
shall Blanco exchanged farewells on

Montserrat sailed at / P. M. She was
escorted outside the harbor by numer-

FAMINE RELIEF uNwELcoME,

y
Calcutta.
Duluth, Nov. Captain Alexander
McDougall, general manager of the
American Steel Barge Company, is in
receipt of letter from Captain L. La
Varge, master of the whaleback steam
ship City of Everett, which sailed last
summer from San Francisco for Cal
cutta, with a cargo of food for the fam
Inc sufferers of India. The letter is
dated at Calcutta, September Is.
Captain LaVarge charges that En-
glish officials at Calcutta are receiving
the famine supplies without enthusi-
asm. The pilot came aboard the City
of Everett when she approached Cal
cutta, and told the captain that he
would have done better to have brought
cargo of guns, with which to kill off
the native Indian population. Cap
tain LaVarge says that the City of Ev-
erett was treated shamefully at CAL
cutta by the government, and that the
treatment was specially out Of. place,
owing to the presence of the vessel rep
resenting the generosity and humanity
of the American people. There was
nothing on which a claim for duty
could be exacted that was not enforced,
and the officials finding, after .ransack-
ing the papers for the ship, that the
officials at Singapore had exempted the
ship from light duties, promptly en-
forced them. The claim was made
that the governor at Singapore had no
authority to exempt the ship from pay
ing any duties. Before leaving CAL
cutta, the English officials even insisted
on the payment of duties for the ships

Said to Be in Danger of Total Ex-
tinction.
San Francisco, Nov. 5.-The United
States fish commission steamer Alba
tross has arrived from Alaskan waters.
The report of Commander Moser will
say that the Alaska salmon will disap-
pear if there are not efforts made to
propagate the fish. This is recognized
by the packers and some of them are
maintaining private hatcheries to fill
the streams from which they draw
their supplies.
Last year the output of the Alaska
packers was 100000 cases, OF AZ
pounds each, or 48, 600, 900 pounds OF
canned salmon. This year there will
be a material falling off.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Brice will ask congress for enough
money to establish hatcheries and thus
keep alive the salmon in northern
waters.
Commander Moser reports that many
shad planted in these waters were
caught in the traps of the Alaska can
neries this year.
