attends, was dismissed from the supervising
architects office. The deacon is about seventy
years OF age and has large family to support
There were no charges against him. He went
to DIR. Sunderland and asked him to 60 TO the
President and lay the case before him, but the
doctor indignantly refused. He did not pro-
pose to say anything OF a political nature to the
President, even for deacon of his church. A
large number of the congregation next called
upon the doctor and requested that he speak
10 MfsCleveland and use his influence TO have
the Old gentleman reinstated. The callers
were treated with marked disrespect This
some of whom openly rebelled ana used strong
language.
The truth of the matter IS" said a member
vi tue cnurch to-day, 'that DIR. Sunderland is
more afraid OF losing Mr.. Cleveland by speaking
oi political matters to him than OF doing the
humane nun act of endeavoring to help an old man
VINO is u deacon IN his own church, and who,
with his large family, is near starvation. A
party or us went TO the President and he init
mated in mat should DIR. Sunderland support US
INCUR ia our desire to have the old gentleman rein
stated 1t would be done. But the doctor stub
oornly refused, and a great many of US left the

twenty Will support the doctor I'm his course"

Sunoeriano, and II looks as ii it might result in

oI boycott campaign Is to be waged upon the
ooctor by his Pensioners.

reporter this afternoon If he had seen the
above article, he replied:
les. Ii is a lie, with some grains of truth
ana some grains Of falsehood. Just enough of
t.utn 10 serve as a handle. sThe fact is, that Mr.
Patterson, deacon i'm my church. was dis

OF the Kind proposed All the latter part OF the
article Is false; that is il is false as far as nm
