ceived by the Filipino Junta here. dat
ed Manila. january 4, says that Aguin-
aldo has gone to Iloilo at request of in

A member of the Filipino Junta here

away, but Left Manila for the noun
tain regions behind Cavite. in order to

resist by force of arms.
The members OF the Junta assert
that the new cabinet will bring for

SERVED IN SING SING FOR FORGERY.

New York, June 30.-Albert s. Moore.
once secretary and principal owner of
the East River Silk company. OF tbs
city and Astoria, who has served term
in Sing Sing prison for forgery. and
who now lives at Brewsters, Putnam
county, has filed a petition in bank
ruptcy here. 1t places his Liabilities at
$50 AIS; no available assets.
The petition states that Moore had
124 shares of the East Rlver Silk com
pany, but they are pledged as collateral
for more than their value. His life is
insured for $40, 300 in his wfe's favor.
Most OF Moore's liabilities are in con-
nection with the silk company, which
failed i'm June, 1896 he owes s60,6S6 as
indorser of the company's notes.
The scovery in June. 1895, that
Moore had forged notes for about
$40, 900 was shock and a surprise. He
had seemed to be a conservative busi-
ness man, correct in his habits, careful
in his associations and prudent in the
conduct OF his daily life. He lived at
100 West One Hundred and Twenty
fourth street, and was secretary OF the
Sunday school of the Colleg ate Re
formed church, Harlem, or Wnlch ne
was a member He did not drink, he
did not use tobacco. Unluckily he got
on the wrong side of the cotton mar
ket.
Moore was once bookkeeper for In
man, Swami q Co, the cotton brokers,
and John Inman became president OF
the East River SILK company. but re-
signed after a year. on June IA, 1895,
Moore was arrested. Four days before
the National Union bank had discount
ed the SILK company's note for $4,000.
Joseph G. Hendrix, president of the
bank. became suspicious of the sigma
lures on the note-Robert w. Inman,
and Inman. Swami a. Co. A certain
flourish on the end Of Inman. Swami &
Co. seemed to Mr. Hendrix to be awk-
ward and unnatural. The Endorsements
proved TO be forgeries.
Moore confessed to other forgeries of
those names and of the name OF George
Menke, commission merchant who
handled his silk goods. Several banks
had readily q scounted the forged
notes. Moore pleaded guilty. and on
July H-f6s5, Recorder Goff sentenced
him TO five and a half years imprison-
ment in Sing Sing prison. He is now

Conference OF FRIENDS.
Papers Read al The Sessions Hsld Last Evening
AMI This Mo nlno

The session of the National Confer
ence of Friends. at the Friends
school last evening, was a particularly
interesting one, and there was a very
large audience. Prof George A. Barton,
of Bryn Mawr college. Penn, spoke on
Modern Thought in Friends Educa-
tional Work"
He called attention to the evolution
in religious work within the past CEN
tury. The century closing, he said, had
been remarkable in many respects 1t
had been characterized by unparalleled
progress in two particulars vltally con-
nected with the higher life of the race.
The paper throughout was very inter-
esting. The various changes were al
luded to in a careful manner.
Prof. Cyrus III. Hodgin, OF Earlham
college, Indiana, took for his subject
1'Socialogy from Quaker's Stand
point" He said that me would try to
show that before the science of social
ogy had been wrought out or even un-
consciously begun the early Friends
had a distinct theory of sociology, stud
led it's problems and applied themselves
10 the solution OF these problems. The
early Friends were earnest students OF
the social conditions of their day. The
studies were not to establish a scien-
tific theory, nor TO confirm precon-
ceived notions. but with a practical
purpose OF removing the anti-social
condition. He said the Quaker and the
Christian socialogist were in substan-
tial accord.
He spoke of the social. the religious.
the industrial. the political and the
educational advancement and at the
close both papers were discussed by j.
w Rowntree, James Wood and others.
The work Of the conference was re-
sumed at o'clock this morning, and
again there was n large attendance.
quite a number besides Quakers show
ing an active interest in the topics
brought up for discussion.
The papers read this morning were

papers there was quite liberal dis
cussion III the subjects. and many ques-
tions s~,re asked and answered.
At the chose OF the morning session
the conference was formally adjourned.
and after dinner az the Friends school
the visiting delegates departed FOR their
homes.

ATHLETIC CLUBS
AFFAIRS DISCUSSED.
Plain Statement by President Shep-
ard--Members rlust Raise Enough
to Pay the Floating Debt.

The adjourned meeting Of the Provi-
dence Athletic association was held at
the club house last evening. about 100
members assembling in the gymnasium.
President Shepard called the meeting
to order. and no time was lost in reach
ing The discussion OF the one import
ant matter.
MIR. Samuel Ames. for the committee
appointed TO raise funds to meet the
floating Indebtedness, reported that the
club was unable 10 avail itself of the
offer OF the three members TO give tint
second mortgage bonds TO the assOcia-
tion provided $40, ,0OO was raised 20 meet
the outstanding obligations. as only
$1,000 had been raised. This amount had
been procured 10y sending out circu-
lar. The total amoun, pledged had
fallen short OF the $4,000 needed.
President Shepard then announced
that three of the members OF the club
had purchased the firsI mortgage bonds
from the Holt estate. These members
thought iI best TO foreclose the mort
gage and then lease the building at a
rate which the club could stand. This
would probably be instead OF So per
cent which would amount Co a saving
OF $500 year. The holders OF the Sec
ond mortgage bonds would be willing
10 go without theor interest until tho
club could get on firm financial bal.
This would make a yearly saving ~Of
nearly $1,000. 10 would be necessary FOR
the members 10 raise money enorgh 90
cover the floating Indebtedness OF the
club amounting 10 10000 At least
$50 members would be necessary 20 run

members were desir1us that the club
