KANSAS CITY, July 2l.-The most
extraordinary and dramatic scene
was enacted at St. Mary's Episcopal
church formerly one of the most
fashionable in the city, when the
rector, the Rev. Henry D. Jardine
attempted to conduct services. He
has hsen rector of St. Mary's for the
most part o. FIX years, and has been
one of the most advanced men in
The Episcopal church. Public senti-
men, has cen immensely wrought
up against Jardine, owing to charge
made against him of immoral prac-
'lcer, aid but for the presence of 10.
!ictmen in large numbers in the
church he would have been dragged
from the pulpit and tarred ana
fealnt red. When Jardine appeared
at the altar the congregation became
a bowling mob. In repeating the
deca.uSue he read the seventh com
mand.nent, when he was greeted
with storm of derisive laug liter.
stamping of feet and cries of " Rats,
Rats" AS soon as quiet had been
in measure resior.i, ie proceed
ed in firm voice an. with peculiar
emphasis to read, " Thou shalt Lot
bear false witness" This did not
have the desired effect, and was re-
ceived with Kisses. The command.
ment Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbours wife, called forth thun-
deious applause, which exceeded in
VIOLENCE the demonstrations which
had preceded it. As the rector
ceased speaking and turned tc kneel
at the altar, another demonstration
was made by the audience. All
through the sermon the speaker was
constantly interrupted by stamping
and shouting exhibitions. The dis
approval was most pronounced,
when he denounced those WHO be-
iieved him guilty as "ignorant, pre-
JUDGED lOuts," and when he posed
as martyr in good cause. Scenes
OF the widest confusion were kept
up until the close of the service. At
the evening service the same riotous
conduct was repeated Indignation
IS widespread and trouble is feared.
