METI-ODST MINISTERS MAD.
An Interloper Creole. Dt.curil In Ih.
Rank, of XIelliotll.nl In New York.
New York, June 2.—The Methodist
Episcopal ministers of the city are so
much opposed to tlie “forward move
ment," so called, of tho Rev. C. II. Yat
man that there is a possibility of an or
ganized effort on their part to rout him
from the field. Mr. Yatman came here
some timo ago from Boston, and has
started what is regarded by many as an
independent Methodist church. His
meetings are hold in Union Square the
ater nml other non-secular places, and
have been largely attended
One of his ’clerical henchmen is the
Rev. A. -T. Palmer, D. D., of St. Paul's
church. 150 Fifth avenue, but his prin
cipal support is said to come from lay
men whom ho has interested in his
work.
One of tlioso is Colonel Kilian Vun
Ronsselne". The movement in opposl
tion to the "forward movement” is bused
upon the belief that the independent
services uro detracting from the attend
ance at the regular churches, and iu
proof of this the consolidation of the
Asbury and Washington Square
churchos, so that tlie two together may
secure tho strengtli that neittier pos
sessed in sufficiency as separate organi
zations, is cited. It is ulso stated that
other churches nro negotiating for con
solidntion, and that nearly every con
gregution in Now York, Brooklyn and
Jersey City has been undetermined by
Mr. Yatman’s nroject.
The protost against Mr. Yutinan is
being made in a subdued manner at
present, but it is whispered about that
there will he an emphatic public outcry
on .Tune 12, when a symposium of Meth
odist ministers is to bo held in New
York. The Rev. C. McAnney, of Tar-
rytown, formerly pastor of Washington
Square church, is to lead off, and he is
expected to fire tho first gun ut Air.
Yatman. He is one of the most caustic
speakers iu the denomination and is
avowedly against tho alloged interloper.
Others who 'will back him up are the
Rev. George W. Miller, of this city,
and the Rev. Dr. Baker, of Newark.
Two dozen ministers who were spo
ken to on the subject, declared their
antagonism to the Rev. Mr. Yatman,
some asserting that his methods were
not according to tho traditions and cus
toms of the church and were altogether
too informal. They wore not aware of
an organized project to drive Mr.'Yat-
man out, but the general opinion was
that something wus hatching in the
Methodist Book concern building that
would be heard from soou.
Phillips Brook, and the Children.
“Nothing seemed to give Dr. Brooks
greater pleasure," said Mr. Thomas H.
Howard, tho superintendent of St. An
drew’s parish, "than to have children
near him. He liked to get off in one cor
ner among a group of little children and
play with and fondle them.
"I remember one instnnee,” continued
Mr. Howard, with a faint smilo, "when
Dr. Brooks disarranged our plans com
pletely, and this disarrangement almost
resulted in a small riot. He always at
tended our Christmas festivals and was
always eager to take an active part in
tho distribution of the gifts and in the
festivities in general. This occasion In
particular was tho year before he was
conaecrnted, and the exercises were go
ing along swimmingly. We had a regu*
larly arranged programme, which pro
vided for the giving out of the hags of
candy at the very lust,
"Well, Dr. Brooks was surrounded by
m crowd of the smaller children, the
babies of the mission, and about the
time that tho exercises were about half
o\ cr these little ones began to clamor for
candy, and the doctor couldn't stand
their pleadings. He simply got up und
commenced to unload the tree of its
sweets, tossing the bags of candy to the
little ones. No sooner had he begun to
do this than the older children, perhaps
a grade higher, raised a great rumpus,
and there was nothing for ua to do hut
to shut Dr. Brooks off, call a halt and
restore order. "—Boston Globe.

Loving Spirit In ■ Canary Bird.
A Philadelphia gentleman has a canary
that he calls Noah. lie allows Noah an
occasional free flight in the garden. One
day when timo was up the bird declined
to come into the house or be taken, but
when approached flew off a space. He
would then fly back, still declining to be
taken in. At last his performance in
duced his owner to go out and follow.
At once he hurst into a joyful song and
flew away, keeping a few feet uhead and
looking back coaxingly.
"1 followed, and he led me to a rose
bush at the other end of the garden, but
I could not see what brought him until,
with a series of loud staccato notes, he
flew down beside a heap of yellow leaves.
Then 1 saw laying there what I took to
bo a dead canary, but when I stooped
and took it in my hand it feebly stirred,
ft had evidently been out all night and
was nearly frozen. Noah was delighted
and would fly from mo hack to the in
valid in his bed of coarse cotton 20
times a minute, trilling his prettiest
songs and chirping, as if to say, ‘How
are you feeling now, brother?’ ” Hero is
this sweet spirit of helpful love of others

Ar«Yo« Uft Kyd or lllght Eyed?
There are hut few ambidexters, either
in the matter ot hands, feet or eyee. It
'may sound rather queer, but it is a fact
nevertheless, that 95 out of every 100
human beings are right handed, left
legged and left eyed.
Felix Hement, who knows more about
eyes in a minnto than half of the opti
cians and oculists of the country havo
been able to learn in a lifetime, re
marked that it is an established fact that
we all use ono eye more than we do the
other, which establishes as clear a case
of "left and right eyedness” as though
the same terms were used to denote a
preference in the use of hands and feet.
If you want to decide as to whether
your friends or relatives are right or left
eyed, give them a small telescope or spy
glass to look through or have them take
"aim” with a gun. We all take great
interest in ascertaining the color, size,
shapn and visual powers of our children’s
eyes, hut how many of us stop to con
sider whether they are "right” or “left
eyed?”—St. Louis Republic.
What Nature Doea For Her Trees.
The wild forest trees hear a great
abunduuce of foliage, and this shows
that nature provides for her own in a
most bountiful manner. The inferiority
of the foliage of the mountain trees and
those growing near lakes and rivers is
due to the rich substances contained in
decayed leaves and water forming a
chemical action with the solar rays.
Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbonic
acid and the gaseous substances in na
ture are sufficient to complete the annual
growth of forest trees of all classes.
Along the broad reaches of the north
ern and southern rivers this fact is clear
ly seen and well defined. The rich nav
igable lowland rivers, such as the Thames
in England and the Loire in France, dis
play the richest and most luxuriant
trees.—Boston Transcript.
, Seen Iu a Dream.
In the summer of 1855 Mrs. John Tel-
yea, then living in Wisconsin, dreamed
that her niece Mary, who was attending
school at Waukesha, 16 miles distant,
had met with a serious accident, the ex
act naturo of which she could not recall
when awake, but it so alarmed her that
she told her husband the next morning
that he must go immediately to Wau
kesha, as something terrible had hap
pened to Mary. He tried to laugh her
out of her fears, hut when he found that
she would go if he did not, he got into
his buggy and started. He had gone hut
a short distance when ho mot a rnessen

Didn't Care to Bo Presented.
The wife of n well known naval officer
tells an amusing story of some of her
experiences in Washington society. On
one occasion when she was asketl to re
ceive at au army and navy german, n
congressman entered with a lady lean
ing upon each arm. One of the floor
committee at once approached him with
tlie polite request that he give his name,
in order that he might be presented to
Mrs. Blank, who received the guests of
the evening.
“No, thank you," was the nonchalant
reply. "I don’t care to bo introduced.
I have two ladies now to take care of,
and that is about as much as I can man-
»ge.’’—Kate Field’s Washington.
