who is TO become a Bautist minister,
will be aeld in his church. the Grace
BAPTIST, East 15Gth street and Pros
pect avenue, New York city, tomor-

Mr.. Brooks has enjoyed quite a
unique experience in gaining a foot
hold a the pastor of a church and it
has only been a strong determination
to win, together with considerable
pluck. that has brought him to his
present position. III s4nM 8t
Our readers have watched with
interest his progress and will be glad
to learn that the coveted goal has
been reached. HHi
About five years ago, feeling a call
to the great work of the ministry,
Mr.. Brooks, started out to secure the
necessary education to fit himseH TOT
the position with but sixty dollars
in his pocket. The course a cos.
him between three and four thousand
dollars and he has earned every dol-
lar of this while studying at Colsats
University, New York university any
Union Theological Seminary. MS
studies have not suffered, for not only
did he always stand high in the es-
timation of students and professors
but on several occasions was the VIC
tor in prize contests. He cherishes
with pride three beautiful silver cups
and a handsome set of books, troph-
les of his provinces in scholastic at
tainments.
While at Colgate he used the mot
10. ''The christian, the athlete and
scholar" He was a leader in Y. M.
C. A.. work and was sent as a dele
gate to the Mortified conference in
1903. For three years he played
center in the Varsity football team
and represented his class, 'O5. in the
basketball, football, baseball and
track teams. During the last two
years he was the associate editor for
the college paper.
Mr.. Brooks is greatly interested in
young men and always has a word of
encouragement for those who are
ambitions to better themselves.
He assures us that in the college
today there are many doing just the
same as he did, getting an education
and earning sufficient to pay all ex-
penses as they go.

Mar OF THE

A recent issue Of the City Record
announces officially that Mayor Nc
Clellan had approved an ordinance
adopted by the Board of Aldermen
April 10, providing for an issue of
corporate stock of the city of New
York in the sum of $780, 900 for the
use of the typographical bureau of
the borough of Richmond, for the
purpose of preparing and completing
maps of all territory within this Dor
ough.
This official action by the mayor
is practically the end of a long cam
paign on the part of Borough Presi-
dent Cromwell. He has labored in
..cessantly for several years to get the
sum needed for this important work.
When the matter was first launched
the sum required for the maps seem
ed so large that 1t was apparently a
grind on the members of the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment. But
President Cromwell, never daunted,
kept at it, and his victory is finally
won. With the completion of these
typographical maps a sewer can be
hnilt in any part of the borough of
Richmond.

TROLLEY IN CEMETERY.
Company Building a s'Y', on Ground
RpfDngiDg to Christ Church.

Yesterday morning a large gang OF
Italians were set to work by the Pub
lie Service Traction Company mark
ing out a corner of Christ church
cemetery for q ''Y" to enable them to
tnrn their Ears around. 1t is aid
that permission was granted by the
yestrymen of Christ church. but
whether that Is so, we cannot say
nositively, but no matter who gave
them permission to do this. 1t is a
d~isgraceful thing on their part. the
idea of Christ church cemetery being
desecrated in such a manner Is
shameful. The corner that is being
rsed was set aside for a parsonage or
something for the Doane Memorial
chape land could not be sold in plots
for burial purposes, although there
Il a big demand for plots and 1t has
even been proposed by members OF
the church that more property should
be purchased from r. S. Conover to
enable those who require lots to get
them. Mr.. Conover would not sell
one inch of the property he owns to
the trolley company, MOI lease 1t 10
them. nor allow them to use 1t in
any way and we do not see why those
who have control of the cemetery
would allow one of the o level
spots in the cemetery to be cut up IN
this manner, spelling the entire cor
ner. nor where they get the authority
from that allows them to do 1t. 1t
was said last night in an interview
with one of the Oldest members OF
Christ church and a former vestry-
man, that he did not believe that
anyone had a right to grant such q
permission and he thought 1t was
shameful. 49,,
1t was proposed by one of our citi-
zens. who has an interest in a plot
up there, that a crowd get together
and go up there, tear up the tracks,
sleepers and everything else and
throw them out in the road. While
we do not believe in la~wlessness, or
in doing work of that kind, we do
believe that something should be
done by the owners Of plots. TO
think Of our beautiful cemetery be-
ing cut up for cars to be u into, is
enough to make one desperate. why,
when the tracks were being laid on
theavenue near the cemetery, they
were told that they shouldn't even
take off a limb of a tree n that
nothing should be meddled with per-
tanning to the cemetery, fences. etc.
and we would like to know why all
this has been changed and that they
have been allowed to even enter and
desecrate the grounds sacred to the
memory of the dead.

Is is about time that something
should be done with the loafers who
rang around orners, sit on store

amuse themselves by insulting peo-

PARENTS and fort whose sake We will
not give the9names of the fellows
this time, but the next time it hap
pens the names of the whole crowd.
no matter who they are, will be pub
lished. A lady Was passing on the
opposite side of the street, going to
her home about 1926 o'clock, when
her christian name was called out and
in connection with a cry, such as
might be given TO a common woman
TO attract her attention. After 1t
had been repeHtedha few times the
lady crossed over ITO them so as to
learn who they We're. Those who had
called out ran, like the towards they
were, down to Montgomery's barn,
but one of them sat still with his
face down on his arms on the back
Of the seat. The lady threatened to
have them arrested and her words
we're received with boots and the
same calls they had uttered before.
AS the same agng had insulted the
lady before, they are known.
The s~torekeepers are being tor
mented by these fellows also
when one of them complained to the
chief of police and he had driven
them away from the store, the chlef
was no sooner out of sight than the
fellows we're back again throwing
bricks, etc, into the store. Monday
evening one of the fellows OF a crowd
sitting on q store stoop got astrlde
another ones neck and the other one
arose and marched around the street
and into several stores with him.

up and hold responsible positions n
vet they will sit around and annoy
the storekeepers so that they even
throw water OF the stoops to Keep
them off, as they say their lady Gus

1t is proposed to call the mayors
attention to this and have MIN look
into the matter. A few private de-
tectives would very soon settle the
business, as arrests would follow and
if they have an atom of respect for
their parents they would not let 1t
happen again. AS we have said be-
fore a number of these fellows reside
in Main street. Other parties were
insulted last night by another crowd
from a different part OF the borough.

thing to abate the nuisance, a good
