TRANSFERRED TO RECEIVER.
Title Taken to Consumers brewing
Compnny's Real Estate.

| A deed was placed on record yesterday
| by the Consumers Brewing Company
| conveying to James Richardson. receiver
of the corporation. part of original LOT
| No. 8, in square 55s located at the corner
| of New Jersey Avenue and l. Street.
The transfer Is made in accordance witt
an order of court, in the case of John w
Griggs, formerly Attorney General of the
! United States. and Elbridge S. johnson.
President of the Citizens National Bank
of this citv trustees. against the Con-
sumers' Brewing Company.
In this suit. which was heard in the
United States Circuit Court for the East
ern District of Virginia at Alexandria,
Va, on September 25, a decree was signed
appointing James Richardson as receiver
for the defendant corporation. The de-
cree stipulated that the Consumers Brew
ing Company should deed to the receiver
all the property under its control which
is beyond the jurisdiction of the court.
The Consumers Brewing Company has
been subjected to much litigation involv-
ing mainly, the question as to the valid
ity of the original issue of its capital
stock. 1t is said that Katz Brothers, of
Paterson. y. j., who requested a fore
closure, have actually invested over $780,
0oJ in cash in this company, for which
they hold bonds, stock and unsecured
notes The first mortgage is for S2Oo.00
The second mortgage is for $lO0.00J The
interest due on June I, 1901, on the first
and second mortgage bonds has not been
paid. and b. reason OF this fact the suit
was brought for foreclosure.
1t is understood that Katz Brothers
were very reluctant to take this step. but
were forced to do so because of the per-
sistent hostility of minority stockhold-
ers, some of whom were about TO bring
another suit against the company.
Friends of the company express the
hope that q reorganization can be effected
without loss to the creditors and stock
holders. BY deed filed for record ON Fri
day the company conveyed all its prop
erty In this District to the receiver. as
was required by the order of the court

| A mighty, though amicable contest is
! being waged between two factions of the
| Young Mems Christian Association. The

! the "maroons" and the '.greys,'' and their
| object is to increase the membership of
! the association to 1900 by November 4.

There has been quite an amusing in
cident in Boston during the great Jubi-
lee Y. NJ. c. A. reunion, which illus
trates phase of thought that one had
imagined was pretty well obsolete. The
Y. M. c. A. delegates had been invit-
ed to a reception in the Boston Muse
nm of Fine Arts, and a section of the
delegates thought it timely to make the
following protest:
ITO the Y. M. c. A. Delegates-The
undersigned respectfully protest
against the holding of a reception,
given by the Ladies Y. M. C. A. Auxi-
liaries to the Y. NJ. C. A. delegates, in
the Museum of Fine Arts, on the
grounds of it's being a place hardly
proper for a mixed social gathering of
young men and young women, because
of the presence there, in many parts
of thv built y, of large numbers of
fully developed and entirely nude mas
Culine statues
is there anything in tie magic word
art to eradicate indecency? How can
the obscene exposure of the human
form be any less potent in seducing
thought when chiselled by a master
hand? Rather, may it not be said, that
the more exactly art follows the lines
of the flesh, the more effectively does
it exert the same temptation as the
flesh?
Every one knows that these identi-
cal images, or the originals from
which these casts are taken, corrupted

other Latin cities, whence they are OBJ
tanned, are sunken in the mire. of vice.
Why, then, should any Christian asso-
citation ally itself to the propaganda of
oh yVh has h9pn
patronized, has bred moral decay,
which, in turn, has led to physical de-
cay, and likewise, physical decay, TO
national decay?
Rather than continue the dangerous
policy of familiarizing children with
the sight of the exposed male form Cfor
at the museum it is learned that
teachers frequently take their classes
of children to view the casts), would
if not be wiser for art museums in
America to follow the example which
in the Vatican covers, with imitation
leaves, the immodest statues that have
come down from a corrupt ageF
There are passages in this commune
cation which are absolutely unique in
their philistinism No doubt the writ
ers were very earnest and very faith
full, but one cannot refrain from
smile at some of the passages These
statues are supposed by these good
people to have sunk Naples and other
Latin cities" in "a mire of vice" If
these good people would but penetrate
beneath the surface in their own cities,
they would find a "mire of vice" which
is probably far greater and more cor
rupting than any "mire of vice" in
Naples or other Latin cities"

Art Museum when he saw the letter

can be so narrow minded" and the ma
jority of people will agree with him.
