Feature of Nation"
CONGREGATION HEARS
STIRRING APPEALS
Members Favor 1,126,0O0 Out.
Law, Which Will Make New
Edifice Possible.

Stirring appeals for the erection on
Park Avenue Of the most beauufui
church and Iarish equipment IN the
world at a total cost Of over S3,OOOOOO
were made yesterday TO the congrega- :
ton Of 81. Bartholomew's Episcopai
Church, Madison Avenue and Forty
fourth Street. Half of this sum will
have TO be raised by subscription
among the members.
Differences over two sets OF plans,
the sale of slice of the Park Avenue
property for the erection or an apart
ment house and question whether the
congregation was ready 20 take the re-
sponsibillty Of an undertaking entail
inc such a big expenditure, caused
Bishop Greer, former rector, TO can
eel an engagement and hasten TO the
church. There he urga d the erection
of an edilice that would be "a noble
and. beautiful civic feature OF the ma
ton"
The proposed site, on Park Avenue at
Fiftieth Street, is reported 70 have cost
81. 100000. Plans published proposing
the sale Of a piece of the land for the
erection of an az artment house, max
ing no provision for a rectory and pro-
vidng for an inadequate chapel and
parish rooms recently brought strong
objections from church members. II
was a proposal to save expenses, but
proved unpopular After much debat-
ing the vestry decided to put the mat
ter up TO the congregation. This was
done yesterday by the rector, Dr.
lie ghton Parks.
"The building Of an apartment house
will ruin the beauty of the church, ne
said. "We can revert ID the original
plan or be overshadowed by skyscrap-
ing neighbor We must have church
that will appeal to the heart and mind
Of New York and the nation. The
larger church. the larger chapel, the
adequate parish buildings, the rectory
and the yard will mean group and a
setting Unsurpassed in the United
States. If not in the world

N. Y. u. MAKES APPEAL
FOR MORE BUILDINGS
Institutions Progress Blocked by
Crowding, Chancellor Says.

Urgent needs of New York Univer--
sity caused by an unprecedented over
crowding at the institution are de-
scribed in the annual report Of Chan
cellor Elmer Z. Brown, given to the
council Of the university yesterday.
DR.. Brown says that the present is
critical stage in the university's devel-
opment and that new buildings and ap-
pliances must be provided at once or
the work viii suffer In five year the
work Of the university has doubled.
The registration this year is 1900,
while the income has not perm tied
construction of additional quarters TO
meet this increased attendance.
"Unlcss new bui Gngs and appliances
are provided we cannot at any one Of
our university centres maintain our
present standard Of instruction with
the larger classes that are sure to come
i'm the future says the report
With this statement was an excerpt
from the report of Treasurer W liam
II. Kingsley, showing that the income
from students fees had exceeded $780,
eco last year, but had left O deficit Of
$4,000. Although much of the univer-
sty plant is being used night and day,
the overcrowdng has reached des-
perate state. the treasurer says
1T is hard 20 make out how we can
care for larger numbers in any way
without new buildings" the report con-
tinues. "Our limit Of capacity has not
only been reached. but exceeded. Forty
eight students have been excluded this
term from the laboratory classes in
chemistry az University Heights Class
room and elevator service at Washing
ton Square are intolerably crowded IN
spite Of the fact that four story an
mex has been rented TO accommodate
the overflow"
The chancellors report repeats the
plan he urged a year ago for opening
4 department Of international affairs.
The events Of The last year. he says. have
lent new ur-ency 20 the request for
such a department. The affairs OF the
nation demand such trained men. and
DR.. Brown believes that university men
graduates Of just such q school Of
diplomacy will have the handling of
the governments international affairs
IN future.
Chancellor Brown has asked the
chairman Of the Million Dollar Fund
committee TO aid in arousiny the alum
>! of the University 10 help the cam
paign for S250,O00 for a new physics
engineering building at University
delights.

Albany, Feb. 25.-Senator Henry n.
Sage, chairman Of the Finance Commit
tee, plans TO give no opportunity this
year for criticism Of the Legislature on
the ground Of hasty action on the an.
preparation bills in the closing moment,
Of the session. lie said that .he av.
preparation bills would BE- before the
Legislature for consideration two.
and possibly three, weeks before
final adjournment. In the pas.
amendments 70 the general appro.
priation bill were often made on the
last day, and the measure then passed
under an emergency message. This
practice gave rise 20 the complain, that
the bill could not be properly consid-
cred by the Legislature as a whole.
Senator Sage and Chairman Maier Of
the Assembly Ways and Means Commit
tee conferred last week with Governor
Whitman on the budget plan, and the
Executive practically agreed TO discard
the plan Of appropriations prepared by
Charles s. Hervey, his nominee for lss
District Public Service Commissioner.
The Governor said he would accept a
plan by which the appropriation would
be divided into three bills-general sp-
preparation, for the support Of the sd-
ministratlve departments, supply and
construction bills.
Continuing Budget Body.
Senator Sage said he also planned 20
have a continuing budget committee OF
the Legislature, which would retain all
the data OF each prev 0us year and
other information which would be of
use in making up the annual appropria-
tions. He said that such a provision
was contained IN a draft FOR a budget
bill which he had submitted % Majority
Leader Elon r. Brown. lie has not
talked 10 Senator Brown on the latter's
proposal 20 Introduce constitutional
amendment tonight providing for
legislative budget.
Senator Browns amendment provide.
for the consideration OF a legislative
budget IN open sessions Of the Legs
lature. The object Of the amendment is,
ike Senator Sage's plans. TO bring into
the open the making OF stg:e appro-
priat.ons and prevent the rushing
through Of bills in the closing hours VI
the session.
Senator Browns amendment 70 the
constitution accomplishes this change
by providing that neither the annua!
appropriation nor supply bill shall be-
come law unless 10 shall have been IN
der consideration at least three sepa-
rate legislative days in printed form
as finally reported by q standing com
mittes or as amended on one OF such
days

Would Abolish "Pork" Bills.


The amendment also seeks 70 abolish
the system Of pork barrel" bills which
has been so rampant in the Legislature
FOR years. These bills are introduced
primarily 10 gain political prestige FOR
the legislator with the people ne repre-
sents, and usually try 20 shit. on ne
state expenditures which righiu!ly oe-
long 70 the locality.
This evil is done away with by the
provision of the Brown amendment that
all appropriations made By the state
must be contained In the annual appro.
priation or supply bills, unless passed
by a two-thirds vote Of the members
OF the Legislature or requested oy the
Governor in message 20 the Legls-
lature. The reason for this provision
is 20 provide for possible emergencies
While Senator Browns amendment 10
the constitu.o. represents q step Tor
ward in the handling Of he states
finances. IL will doubtless evoke the
criticism that it does not 90 FAR enough.
This criticism will be based on Us con-
tinuation Of the supply bill, "nlen 10

merous appropriations questionao;e 10

venting questionable appropriations
from slipping through among its pro-
visions.

story of How Charley Hickman Put

About a year ago some well-wish-

hog, in order that the local depart

little different from other companies.
At least that is what this well-wish-

the gift, but certain members of the
department have since decided that
this friend had another purpose in
view, possibly the training OF the
local tire team in sprinting, wall
scaling, etc. for his hogship has prov

arts.
After many narrowing experiences
with the pig the fire boys built a
coop of reinforced hog wire and con-

dispose of it. The first attempt to
get rid of the pig came last spring
when the Detroit Tigers were here
