DIR. PuLLMAN's CHURCH.

Quite a History Attached to the Pat
 chogue Edifice to Which He Has
 Been Called.
 The Methodist church at Patchogue, l.. l., to which it is said Rev pr. Jo- seph Pullman of Bridgeport will be as- signed, Is one with quite history in Methodism, says the Bridgeport Tele- gram. In the winter of 1857, the time of the great panic revival meetings were held there which lasted for a number of weeks and resulted in a largely increased membership of the church. There are some old Metho- dists, now residents of Norwalk, whose religious life dates from the revival meetings held in the Patchogue Metho- dist church in the winter of 1857. At that time Rev. Charles Gorse was pas tor of the church. He was a hard worker and writer of number of well known hymns, among them being Finding Something New"
 Once during his pastorate of the church he preached a sermon on I'm fidelity and during the course of it's delivery a somewhat 1udicrous incl a climax in his, sermon and shouted: 'Infidelity with new frock on!" Just at that moment a young woman who bad repeatedly asserted that she did not believe in God or hereafter, came into the church. and 1t so happened that she was wearing a new dress for the first time. In those days dress was called a "frock'' oftener than it was called a dress. The congregation looked at the young woman and then looked at the preacher and wondered why he should be so personal. After the services explanations were sought and it was then ascertained that Mir. Gorse did not know who the young woman was and that 1t was only a CO., incidence that she happened to come into the church as he used the langu- age quoted.
 At the time referred to, the church was little old fashioned structure but since then new one has taken its place and now the society is among the most prosperous in the Methodist de- nomination. Dr. Pullman will find the Patchogue people as a rule, wholesoul- ed and generous to a fault and doubt less soon after arrival there will find that he has fallen among the best of 1 people. The doctor also enjoys boat ing; he will find the Great South bay one of the finest sheets of water in the
 world for that kind of. pleasure and
 will also find at Patchogue many a specimen of yacht, both sail and steam
 and will also find people there whc
 knwo how to build them.

mand for the moment at the office of cruiting stations are those of machin- ists and seamen. In the demand for the former is found, strange to say, the reason why they are difficult to se- cure. Openings for their Services in factories and machlne-shops on shore in a time of preparation like the pres ent are brought about by naval activi- ty, and since land occupations have their own advantages, as we'll as greater pay, they are naturally pre- ferred.
 A candidate for enlistment as ma- chinlst must have been one in civil life, but is nevertheless put through rigid examination to test his knowledge of tools and shop-work, and is required, also, to display some familiarity with marine engines and boilers. It is pre- scribed that the former examination be made in the machine-shops of the yard and the latter in the engine-room of the ship. A man who has had no sea experience is assigned to the second class and paid forty dollars per month, while one years previous work in the engine-room at sea entities him to be put in the first class, with pay at the rate of fifty-fve dollars per month. An ordinary seaman is one who has had at least two years service at sea, and is examined, in addition to the usual points of age citizenship and in- telligence, in reefing, splicing, knot ting, etc., and is paid nineteen dollars per month. A seaman is supposed to have had four years ser-service and is closely examined in seamanship, re- oeiving twenty-four dollars per month when accepted.
 No recruits are kept on board the re- , ceiving- ship longer than is absolutely necessary, because this means ex- pense and outlay without adequate re- turn in service; and receiving ships, at best, are not suited to the training and ! drilling necessary to the proper educa- ton of a ships crew. This is done, for apprentices, at the Newport training station and on board such school-ships as the Essex and Alliance; after which they are returned to the receiving ships for distribution among the ves- sells in commission. These boys find quite as much pleasure and happiness

TRAINING NAVAL RECRUITS.

k
 How the Newly Established Sailors
 are Broken in-The Demand for 2 High Class Men for the Navy-Life
 on Board Receiving -ship-The Ex-
 ercises and Drills-No Unusual Rush <, This Week, According to Captain 1 Miller.
 A visit to the receiving-ship Vermont ht the Brooklyn ravy-yard inclines one at first to the view that the life of a newly enlisted blue-jacket in the Uni ted States service is a round of frolic, tobacco and meals, tempered by occa- Hional calls to duty in the form of drills that are little more than light exercise. The men who have seen ser vice and the apprentices, waiting for assignments to the various vessels af- ter having passed through the training ship period, find time rather heavy on their hands, and look forward to being drafted. To the raw recruits it all ap- pears novel enough, for they regard their surroundings with unaccustomed eyes, and to them the lightest duty seems arduous because of its unfamil- iarity.
 In the matter of recruits the navy is having some trouble just now to find men that answer its needs and require- ments. It has always been particular, and has been no less so in the present emergency, until Friday of this week, although 1t has had the immediate task of manning the two former Bra gillian ships, the New Orleans and AL bany, the cruisers Minneapolis and Co., lumbia, the despatch boats Dolphin and Mayfiower, and others, and is, at the same time, under the necessity of looking after it's ordinary duty of fill- ing the places of men whose terms of enlistment have expired.
 There is no lack of raw material; in beed, the trouble lies in it's being too raw. Applicants for the class known as 'landsmen" are numerous; but these, as the name implies, have had no actual experience on the sea, either in the military or merchant service. Experience counts quite as much here as in the callings of civil life, and is paid for at a rate higher than mere in- clination can command. The classes in greatest and almost exclusive de-

engine and boiler rooms, another into
 the operation of the ammunition
 hoists, and so on. The only duties re-
 quired of all hands indiscriminately
 are the odds and ends that fall under
 the term seamanship, which are, ex-
 cept in the case of landsmen, provided
 for by the requirements of the recruit
 ing service. Landsmen are supposed
 to do what seamen designate "the dir
 ty work'' of the ship, which means the
 scrubbing, cleaning, mess-work, etc.;
 but much to their disgust, no enlisted
 men are absolutely exempt from such
 calls.
 i've spent all my life on the water,
 pretty nearly" said one recruit, but
 never served on man-of-war, and
 don't know much more about gun
 than the man in the moon. All the
 same, I've been drafted to the Colum-
 bia, and have only been here two days.
 Yes, like it here, and am sorry that I can't rest up bit on the Vermont it's just about as easy as pie. We turn out in the morning about half past five or six, get breakfast, scrub our clothes
 and clean ship, and then get ready for inspection. We have to look well,
 have our shoes shined and all that sort of thing. Then we have our setting-up drill, our boat drill, or gun drill, and lie around until dinner. After that we have more drill out on the deck, and that's about all. We swing our ham mocks about seven o'clock in the even- ing, frolic around, and turn in any time before nine. We have to turn in
 then whether we want to or not" The personnel of a receiving ship is made up of the captain, executive off, cer, two lieutenants, petty officers, and a crew usually composed of old men who have seen long service and are not particularly active. A marine guard, under lieutenant, is always on board for police duty, and perhaps to inspire early in the breasts of recruits the tra- ditional feeling of hostility. Lieuten- ant Ingate is in command of the detail on board the Vermont.
 Captain Merrill Miller, in command of the ship, has recently been without the services of his executive officer, Lieutenant Commander Mark, who was detailed as judge advocate of the |
 Havana court of inquiry, but the cap- tain has not found that recent efforts q fail to detect" said the captain "any greater desire of men to enlist in view of possible trouble abroad than has been the case in ordinary times We have had as many as thousand men aboard at once, but last week we had only three hundred and five We will pretty well deplete our supply this week, for have just sent one hundred and thirty men. eighty of whom are apprentices, to the cruisers Minneapo- lis and Columbia at the League Island yard, and will soon get rid of about ninety more, who will go to the Dol phin here when she goes into commls- sion. We find trouble in getting hold of the men we want, and have always experienced this more or less. Our standard in the navy has been high, you know, and a man must have had some experience at sea to make him valuable to us. Now that some of the restrictions have been removed by Sec retary Long, we expect to have consid- erahly less trouble.-C. M. Strong in the New York Evening Post.

Toy Shop Burned-Loss s2,000.
 A two story wooden top shop on Brewster street belonging to Charles Joyce was damaged by fire Saturday night to the extent of S2,000. The fire started in the engine room as is thought from an overheating of the furnaces. The flames had spread to the roof before they were discovered and an alarm was rung from fire box 51G. The shop was built by Arthur Howard who formerly used it as a manufactory of cartridges for Gatling guns.
