The Westbury quarterly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, em¬ bracing within its limit.-) the Counties of New York, Kings, Queen^i and Nas¬ sau, at H session held in the Borough of Brooklyn, April 25, adopted the fol¬ lowing minute and directed that it be given publicity through the public press: i
"This Meeting desires to give public i expression to it.5 belief that war is con ; trary to Christian Doctrine as exem- : plified in the leHc!iin;.;s of Jt.siis: 'Blessed are che Peacemakers for they shall be called the children ot God,'| and to His command: 'Love your ene-1 mies.' " J
The Quarterly Meeting further com¬ mends the following statements of the i President of the I'nited States, con- | tained in his message in last 8th month ; on Mexican affairs and recommends | them to the serious consideration of j our fellow citizens : !
"We can afford to exercise the re | straint of a reaiiy great nation which realizes its own strength and scorns to j misuse it. We shall triumph as Mex- ; ico's friend sooner than we could tri-| umph as her enemy, and how much \ more handsomely, with how much ' higher and finer satisfaction of con-1 science and honor."

Bosca Committed to Jail
Mineola, L. I., May 23—Ernest E. Bosca,former treasurer of Hempstead, who pleaded guilty several weeks ago to loaning to himself a portion of the town's funds, was committed today to the Nasaau County Jail by County Judge James P. Niemann, pending the pronouncing of his sentence on June 5. Bosca came up for sentence today but bis counsel, Theopbilus Par¬ sons, asked that it be deferred two weeks in order to give bis client the opportunity to dispose of certain property to pay off his indebtedness to the town. Jadge Niemann declared he felt it his duty to commit the town treasurer to jail as he had been very lenient with him and had given bim ample opportunity tc pay np.
Bosca almost collapsed and had to be asaisted to a chair by a court attend¬ ant. He had been out for a namber 0^ months in 16000 bail.—Eagle.
