AN ANCIENT RUIN.
The Old Circular Church ofCharies-
ton to Disappear.

The ruins of Circular Church, one of
| the most picturesque ruins in Charleston,
is about to disappear as one of the city's
| landmarks. The church, or rather all
that was left OF it after the great fire OF
1861. has been point of interest TO every
! visitor to Charleston for the past TWENTY
five years, and with its twin relic, St.
Fnbar's Cathedral is soon to pass out OF
existence as an ornamental ruin. Its
crumbling walls and its 'coignes OF van
tage" on It's topping tower have been the
resOrt and home OF the doves and SPAR
rows for an indefinite number of years
and its ivy-clad walls have made up a
picture OF sad and pathetic interest.
According TO the information given IN
Mayor Courtenay's Year Book OF 1882, the
cnurcn wa constituted between the year
1880 and 1880. Its founders were Presby-
terIans from Scotland and Ireland, Con.
| gregatlonalists from England aud New
England and French Pedestrians who
had emigrated to south Carolina upon
the revocation OF the Edict OF Nantes. The
first three ministers OF the church are
supposed to have been Congregation-
allsts. The popular name OF the original
church was the "W bite Meeting" name
which was evidently applied from the
| color of the building. In consequence
of the revolutionary war the church
remained without permanent
minister for six years, but in
1888 regular service was resumed. The
| original building used by the congrega-
ton was only forty feet square, but in
l772 the demand for pews necessItated
the construction of a new church, when
was erected in 1887 on Archdale street
In 1894 it was determined TO build a new
and handsome edifice in circular form,
eighty-eight feet interior diameter. This
church was dedicated in 1905 and In 1888
a lOnv and graceful spire was added. IL
was from the latter date an ornament TO
the city until it was burned in 1861.
1t IS now proposed by the congregation
to erect new building on the site of tn
old one. The obj ct of the congregation
is being materially furthered by the Con.
gregationalists throughout the United
| States.

slightly more apparent than in parts Of

At the signal office the thermometer

been any breeze. In the first part or the

and Episcopal Churches.
The festival of SIS. Simon and Jude was
observed iE the Roman Catholic and
Episcopal churches yesterday. St. jude,
Dne of the Apostles, was a relative OF
Christ and brother of James the Less.
According to the traditions of the West,
he preached and suffered martyrdom in
Prussia. According 10 Eastern tradi-
tlons ne labored in Arabia, Syria and
Palestine, and died in Odessa.
Tue traditions of the church regarded
him as the author OF the Epistle OF Jude.
Dne OF the canOulcal books Of the New Tes-
lament, but some recent critics believe
the Apostle Jude to be different from
Jude. the brother OF James the Less, and
that the latter Jude was the author OF the
HDistle.
