The International Order of King's Daughters and Sons, circles of which are found very large portion of churches of all denominations, including even Episcopalians, Lutherans. and Roman Catholics, is about to change its official organ from a monthly to a weekly. Work on the main building of the New Trinity College, Washington, is to begin during October. This college is intended for the higher education of Roman Catholic women.

The little old stone church in the lower end of the cemetery at Sleepy Hollow, N. has been thoroughly overhauled, and the bicentennial of its erection is to be celebrated one week from next Sunday and Monday. Some ten years before Washington Irving died and was buried within an evergreen enclosure a few rods up the hill, the little chapel near the cemetery gate was found too small for the congregation.

Her nerve power is worn away by some disease or weakness of her sex, until barely a single strand sustains her from the awful plunge into hopeless wretchedness and despair. She has borne all that is possible to bear and feels that one ounce added to the burden, and her last hold on sanity would snap. There is just one remedy to be absolutely relied on in this emergency and that is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, It cures these delicate ailments with a positive certainty and completeness that no other medicine has achieved. It is the invention of an experienced cialist who has made a life study of this particular class of diseases and their remedies.
It gives internal organic health and vigor and vital nerve force. The women who have been restored by it to perfect strength and happiness are numbered by the tens of thousands. Dr. Pierce is every day in receipt of such letters as the following from Rev. I.
J. Coppedge, of Elmo, Kaufman Texas: Abe ut six years ago my wife became afflicted with displacement, causing inflammation and much pain. She could not stand on her feet or get in any position I but had what several she suffered different great phy. sicians to treat her without any permanent relief. bearing-down pain.
She despaired of ever again being well, She saw an advertisem*nt of your 'Favorite Prescription' and spoke to me about it. I got her a bottle which she soon found was helping her: so she kept on till she had taken six bottles. Since taking the last she has not suffered a moment with the old trouble. She has been well nearly twelve months. The 'Favorite Prescription was all the medicine she took.
She is in good health and we are happy." For constipation, there is no cure so perfect as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are simple and perfectly natural in their action and create a permanent cure. Don't believe any druggist who tries to substitute something else on which he makes more profit. CHURCH MUSIC.

THEIR PLATFORM DECLARES FOR THREE-CENT FARES AND THE CHICAGO DECLARATION OF PRIN- CIPLES -DELEGATES TO RATIFY THEIR TICKET NEXT TUESDAY -TAMMANY POLITICS CON- DEMNED. Henry George received his second nomination for Mayor at the hands of the Democratic Alliance last night. Mr. George accepted this nomination, and on Tuesday night next he will accept the nomination of the United Democrats, made on Wednesday. The Nomination Committee of the Democratic Alliance will All the other places on the ticket after consulting Mr.
George. There were 130 delegates at the convention last night. represented the following organizations: The DemoThey, cratic League of Kings County, People's League, the People party, the German-American Double Standard Club, the Democratic Progressive League, District Assembly 49, K. of the 16 to 1 Club of Harlem, Progressive Democratic clubs from the Twenty-first, Thirty-fifth, and Nineteenth Assembly districts New York, and Democratic Leagues from the Sixteenth and Assembly districts and the Seventeenth ward of Kings County. Moses Oppenheimer, of New York City, called the convention to order and made a speech which was enthusiascally cheered.
He presented Henry A. Goulden. of this city, for temporary chairman, and Charles B. Stover, of New York City, for temporary secretary. They were unanimously elected.
The report of the Committee on Credentials was adopted, the temporary organization was made permanent, and the platform was unanimously sdopted. When the paragraph reaffirming the Chicago platform was read, the convention rose as one man and shouted itself hoarse. John F. Lynch, of the Nineteenth Assembly district, suggested that the armories, as well as court houses and schoolhouses, should be open for the use of the public. John Hosey, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, said that if that were included in the platform it would afford a hostile press an opportunity to suggest that the people wanted to get too near the firearms.
(Laughter.) He thought that the convention should not leave itself open to such a suspicion. Mr. Lynch's amendment was defeated by a tie vote. Charles Frederic Adams, of. this city, took the platform to nominate a candidate for Mayor.
After waiting a moment and surveying the convention, he shouted: "Henry George!" The delegates rose as if electrified. A dozen of them called for three cheers for George at once. The cheers were given with a will, but that didn't satisfy, and cheer followed cheer. "That's my speech, gentleman," sail Mr. Adams.
"You have heard that this convention was called to do what is demanded by the political situation. The speech I have delivered is the tersest and most efficient I ever made. It sums up exactly what is called for by the political and social situation at the present time. Henry George is demanded by that situation." W. Hooper.
Harris, of the Thirty-filth Assembly district, seconded the nomination of George, and said that Tammany at the Grand Central Palace had prepared 8 tombstone for herself and graven thereon her political epitaphs in a single word, "Unfaithful." John T. McKechnie, of this city, also seconded the nomination, and told of the George campaign of 1886, in which he was an participant. Mr. George was nominated by a rising vote, every delgate getting to his feet, and most of them standing on chairs. The Nominating Committee was appointed to fill vacancies on the ticket.
It was announced that Mr. George would accept the nomination a public mass meeting, and the convention adourned with three more cheers for the candidate. Secretary Charles B. Stover, of the Alliance, who was one of the committee who called on Mr. George, sald last evening that they had positive assurances that Mr.
George would accept the nomination; and that arrangements are making for a grand demonstration when he de does. The platform of the Democratic Alliance has a preamble setting forth that Tammany had been notified in advance of the purposes of the Bryan men. The preamble says: "The action of the City Convention of Sept. 30 is clear and plain to all men. Tammany and her allies hide away the national banner of Democracy and are ashamed to march under its folds; the Benedict Arnolds of last fall, who de.serted to the enemy on the eve of battle, are to be restored to places of honor and leadership; the franchise grabbers are to retain their clutch on the city's highways by Tammany's aid and connivance.
Thus Tammany and her allies separate themselves in principle and policy from the great Democratic party of the Nation and must be looked upon simply as local body of unprincipled spoils hunters, unfit to sit in the councils of the party, whose doctrine they ignore and whose honor they betray. It now becomes our solemn duty to lift up the glorious flag of true Democracy and to appeal from faithless and treacherous leaders to the rank and file of honest Democratic voters." The platform further declares for municipal home rule and ownership of franchises, three-cent fares, dollar gas; eight-hour working days, more schools and free forums. HOTELS. HOTEL ST.

MATION -62 East Houston New York. WELCOME HOME. Dinner to Oivil Engineer Peary and Capt. Bartlett IN RECOGNITION OF AN ARCTIC SUMMER JOURNEY--MR. PEARY TELLS HOW HE SECURED THE METEORITE.
The American record for youth and the farthest North combined, is held by Charles Arthur Moore, of Brooklyn, and Lansing Baldwin, of New York, who last summer, as members of Civil Engineer Peary's seventh Greenland expedition, visited the site of Gen. Greely's last camp at Cape Sabine, on the west side of Smith Sound, miles north of. St. John's, N. F.
Last evening, at the Montauk Club, in recognition of the safe return of the young men, President Charles A. Moore, of the club, gave to Civil Engineer Peary and to Capt. John Bartlett, of the Hope, a dinner to which were invited a number of well-known officials and citizens and fellow -travelers within the Arctic Circle. The tables were set in the two private dining-rooms on the Plaza front of the clubhouse, Eighth avenue and Lincoln place, which, for the occasion, were thrown into one, the fulllength windows on the balcony being open during the entire evening, and giving the room a genuine summernight atmosphere. At the centre of the table was Mr.
Moore, having on his right, Mr. Peary, and on his left, Capt. Bartlett, a nephew, by the way, of that other Capt. Bartlett, who, in the Tigress, in 1873, the Polaris party from their 1,500 mile drift on an ice floe; himself, in 1869, commander of the Bradford pioneer Panther to Melville Bay. and brother of Capt.
Harry Bartlett, of the Il1-fated Falcon of the Peary 1893-94 expeditions. Opposite them were Mayor Wurster, Postmaster Wilson, Bridge Fresident Berri, St. Clair McKelway, and holding the right flank were the Arctic coterie, each of whom had been once, and some several times, within the Arctic circle; Hugh Lee, who wintered in 1893 and 1894 with Mr. Peary at Anniversay Lodge, and took his bride, last summer, to enjoy their honeymoon at Godhavn; Emil. Diebitsch of the 1894, and leader of the 1895 expedition, which brought Civil Engineer Peary and Lee home; Albert Operti, artist of the 1896 and 1897 expeditions; Herbert L.
Bridgman of the 1894; Theodore L. Boutillier, the 1895, and Jesse D. Figgins, taxidermist of the 1897 expedition. Also among the company was Capt. Charles Burchell, a brother-in-law of Capt.
Bartlett, and of the English four-masted steel clipper Oweenee, which arrived the other day, one hundred and thirty-six days from Yokohama without sighting land until Barnegat light, and carrying away her maintopmast while passing under Brooklyn Bridge on her way to her present berth at East Nineteenth street, New York. Among others at the table were: John M. Rider, James Wilson, Major James E. Hayes, ex-Park Commissioner Frank Squier, and Frank Squier, Walter Berri, George T. Moore, Capt.
George T. Norton, of the "Marine Journal;" Col. George A. Price, and later in the evening, Rev. Dr.
Thomas A. Nelson, of the Memorial Presbyterian Church. Regrets, on account of imperative engagements, were received from Lieut. -Gov. Timothy L.
Woodruff, President J. Rogers Maxwell, of the New Jersey Central Railroad; Henry W. Maxwell, and Prof. Franklin W. Hooper, of the Brooklyn Institute.
After the service of the dinner Mr. Moore, in la characteristio and appreciative speech, introduced Civil Engineer Peary, who gave to the company an exceedingly graphic and effective account of the of the 100-ton meteorite, a feat engineering skill and recovery, seamanship of the highest order. After the account, interesting to the last degree, Mr. Peary gave a resume of the further cruise of the Hope, and spoke briefly of his plans and expectations for his next and doubtless final northern journey. Mayor Wurster extended to the guests of the evening the official welcome of the city, the other speakers were: Capt.
Bartlett, Clair McKelway, William Berri, Charles Arthur Moore, Postmaster Wilson, Herbert L. Bridgman, Albert Operti, and Rev. Dr. Nelson, each of whom contributed to the general theme of the evening, and welcome to the distinguished young travelers from the North. BROOKLYN LITERARY UNION.

A country, it has been written, is happlest when it is not making history. And it is true, also, that men who lead lives on the surface uneventful often diffuse more real happiness, of which their relatives and friends are the beneficiaries, than those members of the community who are combative in their progress through the world, loving to exact respect and homage rather than to give affectionate friendliness.
Such a man as the one last described was not Hall Blair, who died yesterday at his home in Fourteenth street. He had lived in Brooklyn, boy and man, for more than fifty years, and in all that time it would be very nearly true to say that he never made an enemy. The minister must, and does, denounce crime and criminals. Hall Blair had no such mission, but he was moved at all times to comfort the afflicted and sympathize with the erring. While not professing much of doctrinal religion, he was brought up in a pure church atmosphere, his father being for many years, and until his death.
sexton of the old Nassau Street Baptist Church, that has been finally merged in the Temple on Schermerhorn street. Of frail physique, Hall Blair was debarred from many of the rougher activities of life, but he was a very human man, with an intense enjoyment of the pleasure. of his fellows, and always ready to make those little daily sacrifices of his desires in the interest of others that mark the truly unselfish man. Whether in his factory--for he built up a fine cigar and tobacco business during his life- or at his home, surrounded by the beautiful flowers he had a passion for cultivating, or amidst his family and friends, he was ever the same gentle, genial, hopeful, 1 lovable man. The world was better Hall Blair having lived in it, and Brooklyn loses in his death a citizen of the kind any city can ill afford to spare.

Oct. 9, the Young Men's League of Brooklyn will hold their first meeting of the season in the parlors of the Lafayette. Avenue Presbyterian Church.
occasion has been as a rallying night, and will prove to be a most auspicious opening of the winter's work. Under the leadership of President George D. Russell, the league last season assumed a position. of Influence and standing in the community, and the opportunities It. created for seif-'mprovement were fully appreciated by young men.
The policy of last winter was broad and liberal, and many men of prominence lectured on important subjects of the day before its members. Debates were held upon all prominent questions, both national and international. The league last season made no efforts to increase its membership at the expense of the character and standing of its organization. There was no place in its ranks for and no man was wanted as a member who felt that he had reached a point where improvement was unnecessary. For those men who came with the idea of adding to their knowledge and strengthening their ability and fitness, in order that they might more successfully cope with the questions of the day, the league extended a welcome hand and' offered then every opportunity.
The re-election of Mr. Russell is an assurance that the same policy will be maintained during the coming Now the Greater New York is an assured more affecting attention the will municipality be paid. to than ques- before, and the winter will see many questions of this character impartially discussed in the rooms of the league.
