The Oldest COngregatiOnalist.
TNa,y york Tim nu

Rev. DIR. Jacob lde, the oldest Congre-
gational minister in America, if not in
the world, died at West Medway, Mass,
on Monday, the 9th inst, in his ninety
fifth year. He was born at Attlebor-
boro, Mass, in April, 1885, graduated at
Brown University in 1909 and from
Andover Theological Seminary in 1872,
being the senior graduate of both insti-
tutions. He was settled over the Con-
gregational Church at West Medway in
1872 or 1918, and had thus been pastor
Of the same church for a period of sixty
seven years, probably the longest Ameri-
can pastorate on record. He continued
to preach down to a recent period,
though he had an associate for several
years past. He educated many young
men for the ministry, and was an early
friend of the temperance and abolition
ist movements. One of his daughters
married Rev. Charles Turner Torrey,
widely known as the "Martyr Torrey,"
who died in the Baltimore prison in 1876,
while serving out a sentence for aiding
in the escape of slaves from Maryland.

MOURNING GARMENTS

The question what constitutes a de-
cent and suitable mourning costume for
persons bereaved of friends is becoming
. mystery of such labyrinthian rami6ca-
tions that we see little hope of absolute
safety to the female mind, now liable TO
be so frequently torn up on the subject,
except appropriate legislation in this d.
rection, preceded perhaps by an edict
from the President of the United States,
the Governor Of the State or possibly the
Mayor of the city. The ancients had no
need to look into fashion book to know
bow to select and apply the requisite
width of Grape folds on their garments,
or how to attach their long Grape veil be-
hind, or when the violet emblems of
semi-mitigated affliction was permissible
to the bereayed person.
They sat down dejectedly on the
ground, rent their clothes, threw ashes
on their heads, and after putting on a
suit of sackcloth, which we may assume
to have been the gunny bags Of those
DAYS, abstained for week from wash
ing themselves, and that was the end of
it, if it was not a ruler, and then they
thus mourned for a month. The Ly,
clans permitted men to mourn as much
as they pleased, but compelled them To
put on women's garments; but the
Syrians hid themselves, as we should
suppose any one would feel inclined to
do in profound afliction, and gave vent
10 their grief in seclusion. The modern
5yrians do the thing better now; they
hire women to make fearful racket by

The hangman's record for the past year
shows that 101 men expiated their crimes
on the gallows, an increase of five over
that for the preceding year. Not wo.
man was hanged, the only one sentenced
to death having been commuted. Two
men suffered the death penalty by shoot
ing, one in Utah and the other in Texas,
the laws giving them the choice of death
either on the scaffbld or by the bullet. 8
were hanged for wife-murder, 7 for out
rage, for burglary, l for fratricide, l for in
fanticide, for killing his step-daughter,
and another for numbering his son.
There were double and ! triple hang
ings. Four persons cheated the gallows
by committing suicide before the day set
for their execution. In the list of States
in which the executions took place,

THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

The amount OF money annually bestowed
in charity in this city is, We venture to
say, sufficient, if discriminatory given, to
relieve twice over all the needs of the suf-
fering poor in our midst and leave hand
some surplus. Every church and society
nearly in the city has it's charity fund; ev-
cry family has its daily call from those
seeking aims, and all business firms are
importuned to help somebody or some
cause nearly every hour in the day. Tie
Associated Charities of Cincinnati on the
18th of November organized themselves
into society and adopted Constitution.
OF which the avowed objects are:
l. ITO secure the proper relief of all de-
serving cases of destitution.
2. "To protect the community from i'm
posture and fraudulent begging.
3. ITO prevent indiscriminate and dupli-
cate giving.
4. ITO make employment the basis Of
relief when practicable.
s. ITO reduce vagrancy and pauperism
and ascertain their true cause"
District Associations, under the auspices
OF this parent or Central society. are to be
organized in every district In the city,
which we believe is the purpose to be di.

last week an organization was effected in
the Fourth District, which embraces the
Sixth and Ninth Wards, two wards, BY the

and as little want MS any in the city, which
contain twenty.six churches. without

braces'the Cathedral. They also have the

Home, but are mainly made up Of the
homes Of persons living at ease and quite
able to lead in work of this character.

Schmidt's Hall at the time Of the organiz.-

The amount of good done by the old
"Relief Union" during its thirty-one years
of active usefulness is past calculation and
the burden of that great labor has been
borne by few earnest workers. Happily
the zeal of conscientiousness that charac-
terized those few will meet with q hearty
cooperation in the new society and posi-

most active members may in time lead to a

than its projectors anticipate,

there were only mercury thermometers
in the place. In all these the mercury
was CONCEALED, shrinking entirely down
into the bulb. All who experienced the
cold agreed that they had never before in

streaks through the country, shooting
down from the north.
