among Irish American Catholics in this
city, and one result was a marked falling
of in the amount of the annual collection
of Peters pence in the chuches Sunday.
With the exception OF few churches, Pc
ter's pence nowhere exceeded one hundred
dollars. At ST. Johns Catholic church,
where a congregation OF 5000 persons wor-
ship, the contributions reached only $40
Heretofore this parish has given from $500
to 800. At st. Vincent's church, Front
street, $50 was collected. The other
churches, fresuented by Irish Catholics,
gave similarly small sums.
