SUPERB MEMORIAL WINDOW.
1t VIII Adorn the Swedenborgian
Church.

There has Just been erected in this church
large triplet window in memory OF the
late Mr.. and Mrs Henry A Scudder, which
Will he unveiled on. Easter morning The
window was designed by the artist, Mr..
Frederick stymetz Lamb and executed
under his personal supervision by j and R.
Lamb, OF New York tits new departure
on lines which we think has been success
fully developed. 1t is wedding of the
American school of glass to the dignified
composition OF the English decorative work.
The subject chosen is that of the ''Crea-
tion,'' the intention being to include
in the window, in addition TO the idea Of
the Days of Creation" the expulsion of
man from the Garden of Eden. This has
been very fully done by using the
Tree of Life as the main decorative
motif, the tree growing from the bottom
of the center light upward right and left
through the entire three lights. In the
branches of the tree there are six angels,
who, with globes above their heads, per-
sonify the six DAYS of creation, while be-
low, filling the lower part of the compo-
stion, with oUtstretched hands and fam
ing sword, the angel of the garden drives
forth Adam and Eve.
In the tracery and rose of the upper part
the symbols of the alpha and omega and
the figure Of our blessed Lord in majesty
are placed to emphasize the prophecy that
1.-The seed Of the woman shall bruise the
serpent's head" Thus is brought directly
to the mind of the observer the redemp-
ton which came through the Line of
David
As decorative adjuncts, and helping es-
pecially to tie the composition together,
a number OF small ribbon scrolls have been
introduced, each OF which receives a text,
appropriate to the special day of creation
above which it is placed, while in the
lower part, and tying the three lights to-
gether, is a double scroll, on one of which
is the text: I'm the beginning was the
Word All things were made by Him.
On the other the memorial inscription
ITO the Glory of God, and in Loving Mem
ory of Henry A Scudder, 1892, and Nancy
B. Scudder, 1693.'
No one who has watched the develop
ment of American stained glass in its
beauty of color can but acknowledge that
In this direction we have new word

Messrs Lamb, which, based upon definite
principles, have made the English work
so well known. Thus is secured the
grammatical character which is essential

New York, April lit looks like vic
tory for the New York Club in the now
celebrated Rusie case. The magnates are
laying very low at present and refuse to

sleeves. President Freedman, how ever, il
just as confident and firm as ever.
AT the meeting Tuesday the local clubs
president says that nine of the eleven
delegates promised that no action would
be taken without the approval of the New
York Club.
The opposition claims that unless Mr..
Freedman comedies point it Will resort
to extreme measures. It's not likely that
this will happen. One thing is certain, the
New York officials won't give in.
The Boston and Philadelphia delegates
and President Young have returned home
SO 1t was evidently decided that there
would be no meeting yesterday. Messrs
Byrne, Abel. Brush, Robson, Pulliam and
Hart held an informal talk, which,
however, lasted for hours, and which was
reported to be decidedly warm.

New York uniform, it wouldn't be the
fault Of the other clubs.
1t may be the whole matter will be
patched up quietly The magnates may

This would doubtless be the best way,

the matter was arranged.

TRIO OF THIEVES ARRESTED.
Charles Brown, Gertrude Bates ana
Irene Dorsey Captured.

Through the arrest OF Isaiah Washing
ton, the 'waIl-scraper,'' Detective Lacey
has succeeded in capturing three other
thieves, who have been badly wanted by
the police for some time Yesterday even
ing the officer went to Baltimore with
papers asking for the arrest of Charles
Brown, Gertrude Bates and Irene Dorsey.
Through the efforts of Detectives Gault
and Moherly, OF the Baltimore force, the
trio were taken into custody and brought
to police headquarters within two hours,
although they lived in different sections OF
the city.
Brown, it is said, is connected with
Washington in many OF his robberies, and
the latter has stated since his arrest that
Brown has in his possession large guam
tity OF the stolen property. This the
officers hope to recover, and they VIII
spend today with Brown, going over the
city for the stolen goods.
Gertrude Bates and Irene Dorsey have a
long string of aliases after their names,
and have appeared often in the police
court here They formerly lived on
Cedar street. One night they went to the
home of Samuel Macknell, No. 1851 Cedar
street, and sent him out for some beer.
While he was absent they stole three $50
bills from a bureau drawer. This The
Bates girl gave to Hammer" Washing
ton to keep for her. Several days after
ward Washington was arrested for as
saulting Gertrude, and was sent to jail for
three months. When he was released the
girls had gone to Baltimore. Brown and
Washington and the two women viii
probably be brought into police court to-
morrow.

Cubau Relief Fund Concert.

The committee on the Cuban Relief Hos
pital fund have now concluded their ar
engagements for the grand concert, to be
given tomorrow evening. The rehearsals
have been very satisfactory, and the few
admitted to them have been enthusiastic
in their appreciation. The tableaux are
very fine. The death scene of Ruiz is
realistic in the extreme, and drew forth
great praise. A hospital scene in Cuba
is another fine tableau. A series of three
tableaux, including Columbia and Cuba,
will precede the finale, "Cuba's National
Hymn which will he sung with pa
triotic enthusiasm. All that is desired now
by tile committee is a fine evening, and
success is assured.

COMING EVENTS IN THE RING
Big Parse offered for Kid Nc
Coy and Dan CreedOn.
Two Twenty-Round Bouts to Be
Fought in New York Tonight.
College Cycle Races.

New York, April 1.-THE ultimate fate
ofMadison Square GARDENS ofdeepinterest
to the sporting world in the East, and it is
to be hoped that the assembly bill author
izing the purchase of the Garden by the
city will pass, IS the front could be devoted
to offices for the city departments, while
the amphitbeater could still be used for the
purposes which have made it famous
throughout the United States. The loss
of the Garden for horse shows purposes
would mean serious loss to the city from
the absence of thousands of wealthy people
who help to make this annual event one Of
the greatest equine exhibitions in the
world The dog show, the cattle show and
the sportsman's exposition would also be
without place in the center of the city
for exhibition, and the loss of the Garden
would meana curtailmentof theimportance
of all these functions if it did not mean
their cessation.
The principal boxing bouts in this city
tonight are the Johnny Gorman-Harry
Fisher twenty-round go at the Polo
A. C. and the twenty-rouDd bout between
Jack Madden, of Brooklyn, and Patsy
Broderick, OF Providence, at the National
Sporting Club.
The Arena Athletic Club has offered a
purse of 81 900 for the twenty five-round
battle between Charles ("Kid''l Mccoy
and Dan Creedon, OF Australia, and the
matchmaker of the club today announced
that he would increase the offer up to
81 900, in case any other club outbid
him on the original purse.
Frank Erne, of Buffalo, and Spike Sui
Ivan, of Boston, will box twenty rounds
at 1913 pounds before the National Attn
letic Club Oh April 90, and Jack Everhardt,
Of New Orleans, will meet Charley Nc
Keever, of Philadelphia, at the same club
on May 3.
There will be a twenty-round bout be-
tween Patsy Haley, of Buffalo, and Dave
Sullivan, Of Boston, at the Polo Athletic
Club on April %. The last time the men
met at this club Sullivan won.
Harvard has accepted the invitation of
the athletic committee Of the New Jersey
4. c. to compete in the college team relay
race the club will give in conjunction with
its carnival of sports on Memorial Day.
The University of Pennsylvania will send
on its best team, and Capt Gerard, of
Yale, has promised positively that Yale
will be represented. In addition there VIII
probably be at least two more entries
and the race will surely be an interesting
one. The college team relay race at the
New Jersey A. C's annual spring fix
lures has always aroused considerable IN
terest. The fact of its being a race con-
fined to the most prominent and infiUen-
tial colleges and universities makes il
one of the most important events of the
year. Coming, as it does, at the opening
OF the outdoor season, all those Interested
in athletics turn out to witness the per
formances OF the men to get line on
them for the balance of the season.

A Citizen Arrested Charged With

1t Sometimes happens that a man ma Y

yesterday with Law yer Nathan II. Barber

were out together and after spending all
their money Barber deposited his hand
some geld watch with an Avenue saloon
keeper and then forgot about il. Next
day he reported the timeIiece TO the po-
lice as lost or stolen. Another lapse in his
memory caused him to forget this also
Yesterday the saloonkeepeT returned the
watch, whereupon MI. Barber at once sent
his friend, MI. Crook, with ii to the pawn
shop.
The broker had been advised by the police
to look out for such watch, and " hen it
came in he promptly communicated the
fact TO Detective Sutton, who placed him
under arrest. Mr.. Crook protested and
said he could produce the owner of the
tlmepiece in a minute, and called in Mr..
Barber, who was standing outside. He,
too, was thenarreSted, and 10th W er etaken
