While the vast crowd of people gath- ered outside of the church, the lady members of the congregation were working within, The whole interfor was turned Into a flower garden, and a fragrant perfume of roses per- vaded the air. The facade of the nlh\r{ was covered with tted plants. The pulpit was loaded with mm-r- and tloral emblems sent by frlends and different organizations, 'The casket was placed on a catafalque of white roses snd white carnation and white smilax, and directly in front of the reading desk. Not'a vestige of the lack covering of the casket could be seen. here was nothing to indicate the presence nt death except the stillness which pervaded the room and the hushed conversation of the mourners. It was nearly 10 o'clock when the doors were thrown open, and those who had been waiting without for nearly three hours allowed to enter. In the first Four seats to the right of the center aisle, pews were reserved tor the relatives of the deceased. Mr. Beecher's family was not resent and the family pew was’ filled with lowers, Mrs. Beecher was in church a few minutes before the doors were opened, but left with her sons before the crowd éntered. Behind the pews _reserved for the famil wero seated the ofticers of the Thirteentl ent and then came members of the ative committee, Behind these were early every soclal, political or religious organization in New York or Brooklyn. here was also a delegation of the Colored Ministers’ association present.

After’ the conclusion of the oration by Dr. Hall the ublic was adinitted to view the body. The ine of people waiting to view the remains ‘was nearly a quarter of a mile long. Itis estimated that fully twenty-five thousand people attended the servicesin the various churches and fully twice that number were gathered in the street in the neighborhood of Plvmouth chureh. TRIBUTE FROM BROTHER CLERGYMEN, ‘I'he clerical union of New York and Brook- Iyn has a membership of clerzymen irre- spective of creed or denomination. Having in mind the recent action of a body of ounis- ters in Chicago relative to Henry Ward Beechier and his death, the clerical union, at & special meeting held to-day, unanimously adopted a lengthy minute of 'the same, de- slgued, secondarily, to offset the attitude of the Chicago clergymen. It recites that Beocher was a " fellow member for more than a quarter of a century; that its membership includes representa- tivesof the Congregational Presbyterian, Baptist, Dutch Reformed, Methodist and Lutheran churches, and says: .“We bow reverently before Almighty God in the inti- mate sense of an irreparable loss, but yet also ‘with gratitude for the painless close of our brother’s life, and in special and heartfelt -ckunwlellg‘meut of the manifold blessings which by divine grace, through his pro- longed work and winistry, have been im- rted to the cities of the nation and world.” paysa glowing tribute to his ‘“‘command- Ing genius,” declares that ho possessed “a ‘wealth of poetical and emotional sensibility, #piritual insight, and enthusiasm for truths which kindle and master men such as have made him supreme among the preachers and orators of his time,” “reviews at length lhis career as **a foremost champion of human llburt‘ and the rights of the oppressed:” reviews his at- titude toward slavery, his position durin, and at the close of the war, and closes with eloquent testimony of his services in the ministry of the christian gospel, of which the following words show the tenor: “*Christ ‘was his xlurfv. love was the central theme of his speecil, and moral elevation and salva- tion of men the chief objects of his regard,” ‘The tribute closes with words of sympathy to his wife and family, and with a resolution to attend the services in a body. ‘The minute s signed by Rev.

It was de- cided by Neebe and his frignds that, circum- stances permitting, Mrs. Parsons should be one of the speakers at the obsequies. As be- fore Neebo was accompanied by a single deputy. The Central labor union’ to-day, in a circular to its subordinate organizations requesting them to participate in the funeral Sunday, calls attention to the fact that there is a city ordinance in existence prohibiting the carrying of red flags in the streets. 'T'he red flag unions are directed by the circular to arry their banuers rolled up, and have them draped in black, The Northwestern League. 8t.

The Prince of Wales Participates in the Yacht Olub's Preparations, [Copuright 1887 by Jam s Gordon Bennstt.] Loxpoy, March 1L—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the DBek.|—~When the Prince of Wales, wearing a black *Chester- field over a loose morning coat, and a pair of unpretentious cheek trousers, witha elossy stove-pive hat on his head, entered the Royal Thames Yacht club in Albermarle street this afternoon, the 150 club members assem- bled for the annual club meeting gave their royal commodore a lusty cheer. His royal highness was greeted first by the vice presi- dent, Lord Alfred Paget, father-an-law of Mrs. Arther Paget (formerly Miss Minnie Stevens, of New York), then by the secra- tary, Captain T, Scoville, and afterward by many other members of the elub, The re-election of the ofli- cials, including that of the venerable cup bearer, Colonel Wilkinson, followed. Mr. Buller then detailed the plans and par- ticulars of the jubilee race as they have been already told to your readers. In the course of his remarks he sald: ‘‘We shall cortainly learn something If the center-boards come over and compete, a3 we hope they wlilL" This remark was met by an approving nod from the prince. Mr. Buller then claimed that if the jubilee race was carried through snccessfully it would be a great benefit to that very old yacht club, the Royal Thames, and announced that the Prince of Wales had entered his yacht, the Aline, ‘The royal commodore then sald: ‘‘Gentle- men, [ must thank you for the honor you have done me, and 1 especially thank Mr. Buller for what he has said of our fubilee race, of our queen, and of myself. I think, gentlemen, that the idea of our race is the best way we, as yachtsmen, can possibly commemorate the jubilee year, and espe- clally soas we are to have visitors from other parts of the world. I unaerstand that while yachts are engagzed in the race no one sailing will be allowed to leave the vessel on which he is sailing. This will prove to be very unpleasaut, no doubt, if a yacht should be calmed for a few weeks or so, so I ask for some remarks on this point, and Mr. Buller will please tell us if the time allowance he proposes will be altered it by chance the race takes fourteen or twenty-two days to complete,” Mr. Buller said: *We shall have a sliding scale. 80 that big yachts will have to make an allowance if the race is prolonged to the little ones.” The prince also acked whether all the yachts would be required to have English, Scotch and lrish pilots on board, to which Mr. Buller answered: “No, I think one pilot who knows the waters will suflice to each yacht.” After the meeting closed its business the conversation ran on to-morrow’s start of the Coronet and Dauntless, with much ehafling and speculation about the time and voyage and the winning yacht, accompanied with delightful reminiscences from an old timer ot the club regarding the former successful trip or the Dauntless, in celebrating which he had aided.

Opinion is divided as to the outcome of the race. In a start together Prince would be the favorite, relying on his well known tactics of finishing with a territic spurt. Starting from the opposite sides of the track, it will be a race for blood from the start. The second feature will be a ten-mile dash for a purse of $50, with Dingley and Ashinger as starters.

It appears that a widow named Boyd, who lives on Ninth street near St. Philomena cathedyal had u son John who was taken, about ten days ago, with a fever. Dr. Stone was called in and under his care the young man was in a fair to re- cover. He was vrogressing nicely until Saturday last when some of the members of the Salvation army called upon him. They announced that the young man eded no medical attendance and med that they could cure him with their prayers. So earncst were they in the protestations of their ability to act in the case, that Mrs. Hoyd was convinced and decided to dispense with the services of the rhyniclnn. ConsequentlyDr.Stone’s prescriptions were thrown away and the Salvationists began praying for tho re- covery of the young man. A delegation from the army remained at the bedside almost constantly and assured the young man and his mother that there could be no doubt but that he would recover in a very few days. So strong was their faith that they invited the mother to visit the army at their headquarters on Jackson street on Sunday night, with her son, who, they said, would be restored to per- fect health at that time. Contrary to their prediction and to tho deluded faith of the mother, the patient began to fail a8 soon as the physician's remedies were taken from him and he sank rapidly until Sunday night, when. death came. Now comes the clash. The law provides that each physician shall furnish the authorities with a certificate of death_ of all persons who die under his care. Dr. Stone, when asked for a ficate of Boyd's death, referred the authorities to the members of the Salvation army, claiming that the case wus taken from him and rlncc(l in their hands. The doctor will refuse to issue any certificate of death in the case, and if the Salva- tionists attempt to do so, he will com- mence an investigation to ascertain by what authority they undertake the treat- ment of the sick. Thereis prospect of fun ahead. THE FALL MEETING, The Programme Arranged By the Fair and Exposition Association.

Roland teed, Roland Reed is a whole show in him- self and that fact stands him in good stead when most of the morit of a per- formance is represented in himself, With one or two exceptions, the entire burden of the acting devolves on Mr, Reed. The others are merely feeders to the star. The piece presented last night, “Humbug,” is well designed as a vahicle for the display of Mr. Reed’s varied ac- com plishments. It keeps the star per- petually on the stage and thus prevents any draggy iotervals in the perform- ance. Mr. Reed’s songs last night were new snd arresti ludicrous. Sydney Rosenfeld must have had his man in view when he wrote them for they sound enough like Roland Reed to have becn instigated by that eccentrie genius him- self. A pocket edition of the *Mikado, was clever and brought into prominence the versatility of Patrice, a sonbrotte of much promise. ‘‘Humbug will be re- peated at the matinee this sfternoon, and “Cheek’ will be given at the evening performance. Disturbing the Salvationists.

Thinkin’ nothin’ of this, seein’ as a feller has a right to seratch, I also noticed that this feller held mighty good hands, and once when he soratched his side 1 saw a card come out from under his coat. That time he held three aces and I held three queens, When he throwed down his cards, though it n't my turn to di I picked up the pack, and runnin’’em through, found five aces, which is more than usually comes with one deck.

A South American Nation that Can hold its own in any Naval Battle, The astounding progress which Chili 1s making toward securing for herself a navy which shall compare favorably with the naval armaments _of the world has long been watched with curious cyes by the people of this country, and the con- viction has been growing stronger that the Chilian navy will at no distant date runk well with the powerful fleets of the old world. That Chili can use her ves- sels when she possesses them is acknow edged, for the public memory still tains recollection of the terrible fight su tained by the wooden vessels, Esmeralda and Covadonga, against the iron-clads, Huascar and Independence, belonging to the Peruvians. With the view of learning something concerning the Chilian navy, sa San Francis Chronicle, reporter boarded the Pilcomayo, now lying in this harbor, yesterday, and was met by Lieu- tenant ' John Williams, whose ~grand- father, an Englishman, serv in the Chilian war of independenc nd who: father holds a high command in the navy, having served with gallantry throughout the late war with Peru. “You me something about our navy,” said Lieutenant Williams. “No one would be a_true Chilian if he were averse to speaking about it. We have at present but o small fleet, but though 1 myself say it, whatever thercisof it is 0od. We are resolved to Lave the best cet in South America, and I see no reason why we should not have it.” *‘Is not the Chilian navy, then the most powerful in South America?” *No, sir; we do not take that eredit to ourselves. Brazil has a very powerful navy. Itis larger, and she having more monoy has been quietly securing a_very powerful fleet which would astonish you veople who have not been following ‘her policy. She has an extraordinarily pow- erful tleet, and it is our ambition to have one fully as powerful, 1f not stronger.,” “What do the Chilians think of the American navy?" Despite the licutenant's extreme po- liteness a faint smile overspread his handsome features. “*We admire the United States naval officers and the spirit which pervades the servie but your ships are old- fushioned. “Now we are not a wealthy nation, but I will furnish you a list. First of these i3 the steel cruiser Esmeralda, built by Sir Willlam Armstroug at New castle-on- Tyne. This cruiser is the first of its class, and has served as a model for the new vessels to be built for the American navy. Excluding a few details in construction, the Japanese corvette Naniwa Kan,which vessel resembles the cruiser Charleston, o be built at the Union iron works, was constructed upon the lines of the Esme- ralda. She has a speed of eighteen knots, two turret cannon of twenty-five tons each, earrying projectiles of 4530 pounds, capable of piercing twenty inches of iron. Besides these big guns she carries six four ton breech-loading guns as broad- sides, and an assortment of Hotchki Gardiner and Gatling rapid-firing ma, zine gul Her engines are 6,000 hors power. All her guns and machinery work by hydraulic power. Then comes the iron-clad Blancho Encalada, named after a redoubtabls miral in our service, with a speed of fifteen knots, and a bat- y of six cannons of four tons each. his vessel is now in England being fitted out with the Whitehead torpedo, and it is the intention of the naval authorities to send every one of our fleet to England for this purpose. The third ot our ves- sel is the iron-clad Almirante Ccchrane, nawmed after another of our naval heroes. She has a speed of twelve knots, and has six cannons of 300 pounds. Then comes the monitor Huasear, taken from the Peruvians, twelve knots, two turret cannons and hooting cannon. *hachaluco, built in England, eleven knots, three cannons of 115 pounds, two snn-nly-goum}ers: all of these guus are on deck. Next is the Gen- eral O’Higgins,which was taken from the Spanish in the war of idependence; eleven knots,three ecannonsof 115 pounds, and two seventy-pounders, all on deck. ‘The corvette Altao, ten knots, one can- non of seventy pounds and four of forty pounds, ail on deck, She is used as a cadet training-ship. Then the Magellanes, eleven knots, four forty-pounders, d in the hyarographic serv Th is the cruiser Anganus, fifteen turret caunon of 180 pounds. there knots, one Then our vessel, the Pilcomayo, ten knats, ono cannon. of seventy pounds, and four ller ones; we used her ns a boys' iining-ship.

In an article on *‘The Profits of Novel Writing” in the March Cosmopolitan, William Westall, the well known }flnghsh novelist, says: It will thus be seen that novel-writing now-a-days1s a pecarious and not very profitable cailing. A very fair price, as things go, Is $2,000 for the serial rights of a full length story, and assuming that the “author makes #$100 by the three-volume edition, and as much by a cheap edition, his total profit would amount to $2,800—not a great deal; considering the labor and time the writing of a novel involves. It should also be borne in mind that pnless A man strikes oil at the first venture, he may have to peg away for years before his” reputation justifies him in asking three or four hundred pounds for the ser- ial right, or a third of the smaller sum for the other rights, He may, indced, never obtain anything like these prices: and after one or two attempts scores re- tire discomtfitted from the field. On the other hand, there are undoubt- cdly prizes, and 1f a_writer reaches the top of the tree and is as prolilic as Miss Braddon, he can make. 1f not agreat fortune, at any rate a_handsome income )y his pen. = Miss Braddaon, 1 should think, makes more money by fiction than any other writer of the day, Her fertility is prodigi Sko obtams high prices for her serial rights, She has kept her copyrights in her own hands and her books are always sclling. Novels that she wrote twenty and more y S 8g0 are still bringing grist to her mill, and if she were to stop writing to-morrow her two-shilling novels would continue to yield her a revenue for as many yeors to come. I belicve Miss Braddon —gets about $5,000 for the serial rights of a new story and as she writes like two r, or, at three in two | kings sour lone must be consider- able.
