Church Advertising.

Referring TO the fact that tie Philadelphia
Ledger OF last Saturday contained two columns
and a half Of church and religious notices for
Sundays services, numbering in all one hun
dred and sixty five separate notices. the Balti-
more American has some remarks upon the mod
enumeration Of church advertising, aud points
out its advantages. There are always many
hundred strangers stopping at hotels, who every
Sunday look TO these notices, giving the name
Of the ciergymen TO preach, the location OF the
church, time OF service, &c, as directory, and
by means Of the street cars or otherwise fnd
their way readily to the particular church they
wish TO attend. Then, again. there are thou
sands Of citizens, who, although church-gOers
are not regular attendants at any one church,
to listen to other clergymen than their own, or
20 hear fayorite texts expounded, who look to
these advertisements to guide them as to their
places Of attendance for the day. Further, il is
from the chance WoTshippers who are reached
by these announcements that regular church
attendants are most likely to be drawn. This
class Is very large in WashiDEto from the SHIFT
iug nature OF the population, and the number o f
newcomers taking government employment;
and the churches thoughtful enough to avail
themselves Of the opportunity of reaching them
through the advertising columns of the city
papers, have found it advantageous to them
selves, and have doubtless done good service to
the cause Of religion and in behalf or the proper
observance Of the Sabbath, at the same time.

The New York Times thinks that Washington
presents cat least one instance of sensible NUM-
cipsl action in setting the sble-bodied paupers
Of the city at work, and says: "This would seem
70 be Q very simple and natural thing to do, and
no sound reason can be suggested why 1t should
not be done. But there are good many cities
In the Union where healthy paupers are not put
70 work because the local politicians are afraid
Of their votes. This very mean form of bribery
Il IL nothing Iess-preyalled at one time at the
state capital. Whether It does 50 now, We can
not say"

DEsr1TU11oN At THE GLOBE.

Tho present dull neaHon in amusement matters
haa beeu especially severe In Chicago upon the
unfortunate arttst8 connected with tho Globe
Theatre. Information was left at THE TRIBUNE
Office yesterday that 4 caro- OF deatitution Of
most NJ distressing character lad occurred at No.
95 South Groon street. On arriving there, it
WINS found that temporary rolief had boon afrord-
cd tho unfortunate, md that be waB out OF town.
1t was learned, however that hIr. John DankHon
,l and bis vito woro actors ongagcd at the 4lobo
Theatre, and that whom tho reduction Of salaries
was mado fow woeka ago starvation stared him
in tue face. After irritating tho poor man for
somo tmo by this impolite procedure,
starvation approached moro closely. and
pressed him md Ills wife md the
infant in nr1ns worry closely. Want Of fuol, want
Of food, rapidly reduced tho poor family to
condition Of misery which excited tho compass
zion Of tho noighbors. Saturday tile two ndulte
woro discharged from the theatre, md Mr..
Ban!tgon obtained employment for two wecls
with the ox-memberB OF tlle Globo company,
who arc travelling. Tho outlook for the profess
aion Is not very pleasant ono.
