NOW THE sELLBoYs COMBINE.
In the "JustIy Celebrated and Widely
 Famed HosteIerIes of Brooklyn"

From the New York Tribune.
 The Hotel Bellmen's association of Brooklyn filed articles of incorporation yesterday with the secretary of state, at Albany and the promoters, who are all negroes employed at the Hotel St. George, Brooklyn, are big with ambitious plans. They also have words to match the plans.
 Joseph Paul Taylor, Daniel l.. Hunter, Lewis ". Seabrook, Charles M. Brown, Frederick Merrick and Ulysses M. Camp bell are named as the initial sponsors or the new organization. When Seabrook was found at work yesterday he at f1rst displayed becoming reluctance when in- terrogated upon the subject, but when the gates of his eloquence had been judi ciously loosed, there came a Johnstown flood of eloquence.
 ''Yas sah," said Seabrook, expanding his chest and striking a Websterian at titude. 'it Is, as you may have noticed, sah, the dispatch states, an organization among the colored employees of the justly celebrated an widely famed hostelries of Brooklyn. Yas, sah, I am one of de off cers of this gran transmogrifcation, but l am not yet teetotally assuahed what the exac' nature of my office will be. It is, of co'se, true, that the membership of our amalgamation is as yet wholly limi- tdliOntQ tO tiic dlldSlldSS LII tHC IlOtti ohs George. but our plan an scope is to fling wide open the doors to all the colored em- ployes of the Brooklyn hostelries and all the places of resort, sah, where the in- ner man, as Sir Francis Bacon says, Is refreshed, sah. The advantage of such conglomeration as this are too-too"-
 "Plain?" suggested the reporter.
 Obvious, sah," said MT. Seabrook way ing the suggestion aside, "too obvious to requiah conspecif1cation. The potential ultimations of such coagulation are too wide an omnipresent to be definitely prognosticated. The conglomerations"-
 Front" shouted the clerk. Hot wa ter to thirty-five!" and MT. Seabrook darted of like the wind. When he came back his diction appeared vastly depleted The unfortunate interruption appeared to have robbed his figures of their elegance and his rhetoric of it's grace Nnd fiuency In answer to a question, however, he re- piled:
 "oh, yes; we're goin' to have a club house, suah''
 He declined to say whether this proud, prophetic structure would include room devoted entirely to the game of craps"

publican party in Ohio pointed to my candidacy would have entered the race" he says, but l am convinced that such a sentiment does not exist at this time" Uncle Mark can be very convincing when he really wants to be and has the right n,en to talk to. General Dicks home pa- per now explains that he would not think himself justified in seyering his re- laGons with his congressional district save at a plain, loud, peremptory call of duty.
 Simultaneously Col Myron T. Herrick, president of the Cleveland society for savings, member of the national commit tee, we'll fixed well preserved, we'll groomed, the nattiest, incest, briskest statesman of his years in the whole west ern reserve, tells the Ohio republicans that if they want him he's their man. It is credibly related that the colonel was President McKinleys first choice for the embassy at Rome. It is credibly reported that MT. Hanna has promised to do ev- erything he can for him in Cleveland and Cuyahoga county this year. It is ma licously asserted that the senator had to. "I believe" the colonel is quoted as say ing that when a man reaches a certain age, and has accumulated competency, he should devote some of his time to the service of the community in which he lives. 80 we see that Duty Is the big word in the colonel's dictionary, as 1t is in poor General Dicks, and as it was in that of the gentlemen adventurers of Penzance. tsIdME
 Just now the co1onel's sky is pretty bright, but we notice here and there a cloud. Perhaps it would be more accu- rate to describe Warren c. Harding of Marion, Albert Douglas of Chillicothe, and Mir. Daugherty Of Washington Court house as cloudlets. The only really for midable shadow producer now visible an- swers Con senate rall calls) to the name of ,Foraker. MT. Hannas colleague has expressed satisfaction that the colonel Is not the whole thing this year-that there are others. He has also expressed with some emphasis the opinion that re- publican candidates for the governorship should be selected in Ohio republican state conventions and not at private con ferences in the city of Cleveland.

CRITICS OF SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Conference at Chicago To Be Hostile
 to Present System.

From the New York Tribune.
 The higher critics of theology, it is as- serted have broken into the Sunday school lesson situation and have an- nounced their intention of remodelling texts used in the Protestant Sunday schools of this country The conservative element, to prove this charge, point to the fact that at conferences recently held in this and other cities only higher critics were invited. A conference was held at the Hotel Manhattan, in this city, at which President Harper was present, and almost all who were there with him, it is said, belonged to that theofogical party.
 A convention of Sunday school workers is to be held in Chicago beginning Febru- ary 10, under the auspices of the council of seventy of the University of Chicago. but the agitation is quite as great in New York as elsewhere. For many years most Sunday school lessons of the country, and of England, too, have been selected by committee of an American Sunday school convention. For some years the uniform ity of the lesson scheme has been attack ed. Two or three years ago there was demand for a different lesson for ad- vanced scholars, and everybody expected to see such separate lesson agreed upon. Opposition to 1t was led however, by the Rev. Dr. T. B. Medley, of the Methodist Sunday school board, of this city and 1t was defeated. It happened in the same convention that when the new committee came to be chosen the Rev. Dr. A. b. Dunning. editor of "The Congregations alist," of Boston, and long secretary of the old lesson committee. was dropped. A combination is supposed to have been effected between Congregational publish ing interests which employ the Rev. pr. Dunning and some other interests hostile to the old committee, of which the Rev. pr. Dunning was so long secretary.

Money in Berries.

In view OF the success Mr.. {. l..
Kidd has made raising fruits and
berries we wonder that others have
not turned their attention to this
indu stry Mr., Kidd has only a
small patch OF dewberries and
blackberries but he has disposed of
his entire crop at good prices. Dur
ing the berry season ne also fur
nished employment TO quite a num-
ber Of people, the majority Of whom
live in his community. Last week
he paid out for picking alone S60.S0 ,
the most of this going to women and
children. One woman and her two
little girls picked 1915 worth OF ber-
ries, while the amounts paid others
ranged from $3.50 to s. 90. Mr.. Kidd
says that this week will probasly
finish up the crop for this season.
A representative of this paper
called at Mr.. Kidd's nursery yes
terday afternoon and found seventy
five pickers at work In the berry
patch. There were men, women
and children and they were rapidly
gathering the luscious berries into
boxes ready for market. Including
the amount paid for picking last
week Mr.. Kidd says he has paid out
for help since the season opened
