BISHOP GREER ON LAWLEssNEss.
Warns st. Andrews Brotherhood of the
Abuses of Freedom.

Bishop Greer addressed the brotherhood of St
Andrew In Grace Church last night after its annual
convention, and spoke strongly against the license
practised in the name of freedom. The world he
said was trying set itself free from ownership
and rnastership. from bondage and control But
freedom getting beyond control, he declared.
and continued:
Human life Is not free. and this despite our
declarations and magma chartas. There is a grow
ing disposition the part of many to push aside
what some call obstacles to their freedom, but the
result is freedom from the old graces. the old con-
siderations
Freedom is like a fire which, when guarded and
controlled, Is a useful servant but when beyond
control dangerous and destructive. Are there not
signs now that freedom is getting beyond control.
and IS destroying not only the harmful, but also
the useful and hne?'
The Brotherhood's annual meeting was held IN
the church. with about three hundred members
present. The Rev Karl Reiland led in prayer, and
H NJ Hewitt, the president OF the local assembly.

ecutive committee resulted follows: Fl. NJ.

GEORGE w. HARVEY.

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. May George w Harvey former
proprietor of Harvey's restaurant, died here this
morning. With his death the capital loses the
founder of one of the most famous eating houses
in the United States where for years practically
every tourist was initiated into the third degree or
culinary art where Senators fought for places
about the terrapin loaded tables, where steamed
oysters were invented, and where Mr.. Harvey
presided with genial hospitality.
The success of Mr.. Harveys restaurant was hrst
in Civil War days, when there were a con-
slant Influx of federal troops and unusual num-
Der of transient visitors In Washington. most OF
whom partook of the fare and departed singing
its praises. This reputation increased until in 1858
the Harvey steamed ster received its first ofcaI
recognition. Mrs. Seward wife OF the Secretary
of State asked Mr. Harvey to prepare steamed
oyster supper for President and Mrs. Lincoln, and
1t is said that the President afterward one or
the most devoted believers in Mr. Harveys skill
with oysters terrapin and canvasback ducks
Some time afterward Mr. Harvey was In New
York competing with several other well known
chefs I'm making a salad dressing AS he watched
the others work he realized that nothing could be
invented which would improve the dressings made
by his competitors. However when his turn came
he drew from his pocket a small VIAL and after per
forming all the processes gone through by the
others he added two drops Of the contents or the
vial He obtained the prize and the judges were
amazed that two drops of any liquid could make
such an improvement. They asked him what II
was and he replied Water.
He was we'll known by practically every prornl-
nent man in Washington, and is mourned by many
of them as a charming companion.

To Make Tests for Britain.

London, May 5.-wilbur and OrviIIe Wright the
American aeroplanists. embarked on board the
steamer Kronprinzessn Cecilie to-day for New
York large gathering Of members OF the Aero
Club babe the aviators farewell at Southampton.
The presence of the Wright brothers in London
has been leading sensation OF the week, being
overshadowed only by the budget. The news
papers have been full Of their doings. and they
have been besieged with invitations to dinner and
were the recipients OF various other attentions.
They will return to England for a few days early in
the autumn, when they may make one or more
flights From England they will so to Germany.
OrvilIe Wright said he and his brother were going
home to conduct further experiments Of a secret
nature. On their return to England they will carry
out some important trials for the British govern
ment. the character of which. he said he was not
permitted to divulge.
The public meetings volcing widespread protests
In the matter of the governments apparent apathy
in the field OF aeronautcs have had their effect
and Premier Asquith to-day announced that the
authorities were providing adequate funds to en-
ploy the highest scientific talent with the object
devising and constructing dirigibIe balloons and
aeroplanes and to carry a continuous series Of
experiments and Investigations.
Captain J. W. Dunno of the Royal Engineers
was asked to-day regarding the version OF his al
legged feats with an aerOplane printed in the
Times this morning. He said: Il did not make a
flight of twelve miles. as the Times says My
longest flight was 40 yards"
The captain is continuing privately his flights
with MS aeropane which works the principle Of
boomerang in that IT scars in circle He thinks
the aeropane to-day is of little value for military
purposes. as II does not arise beyond revolver
range.
Richard B. Haldane, Secretary for War, said this
evening that the government prepared to take
up any practicable working aeroplane dirigibIe
balloon which was improvement upon existing
types. He added that the government had ar
ranged to procure of the Wright aeroplanes
with which experiments would soon be made.

Saturday May /, 1879. you published a statement
to the effect that client, Edward Aisenstein,
had been held on a charge OF grand larceny In the
sum of $500 bail, we call your attention the
fact that Mr.. Aisenstain's matter only held
open in the court for a short time and that in
vestigation of the facts by the Court he was dis
charged. instead OF being held, and request that
under the circumstances you do justice to Mr..
A.senstein.
