A CHURCH ORGANIZED.
ST. Marks Reformed Episcopal
Church Formed Ont of Calvary
Mission

ST. Marks Reformed Episcopal
Church Formed Ont of Calvary
Mission.
In February, 1884, Rev. Edward ID.
Neill gathered small band of willing
workers together, and, with their aid,
organized Calvary Mission. 1t was not
a great while before they erected
very handsome little building on Port
land avenue and Dale street, and since
then their number has been steadily in
creaSing. 1t became so large that they
solved to organize into full-fledged
church. DR.. Neill's many duties at
Manchester caused him to secure an as
Sistant in the person of Rev. Henry f.
Butler, formerly pastor of the Eman-
uel Reformed Episcopal church in Chi
cagO. He was selected to carry on the
work, and at once issued call, accord
ing to law, for the congregation to
meet and organize into a corporate
body. The meeting was held in the
chapel last evening and the church
organized. A greater portion of the
congregation was present, including
quite number of bright looking young
folks.
The st. Marks Reformed Episcopal
church was the name adopted, and the
following were the officers elected:
Senior warden, S. III. Dyer; Junior war
den, F. d. Willis; vestrymen, John Nor
cOtt, Charles George and Clarence
George; deputy to general council, S. III.
Dyer; alternate, Clarence George.
The parish council will be composed
of the Junior and senior wardens. At
present the membership of the church
is between fifty and seyenty-fiye. and
efforts will be made to increase it
largely. Rev. Mr.. Butler is hard
worker, and will find able assis tants in
the new officers.

A YEARS PRODUCT.
Some Valuable Figures from the
Trustees lsenort


AS a consequence of the conviction
that the only safety lies in cooperation,
numerical increase of SO per cent in
membership since 1884 has been re-
corded. In the last-named year your
association consisted of SIG members
engaged in brewing Ghis figure, of
course, excludes associate memberS)
at present it consists of 693 members so
engaged. The former number pro-
duced 1878, ,120 of a total production
of about 17.349,750 barrels Gin 1883.
as against 5.373,9S0 barrels pro
duced by 1852 brewers outside of the
association. Taking the revenue sta
tisticS for the year 1887, we find that the
proportion of beer produced by IN M
berS of the association and that pro-
duced by non-members, the total num-
Der of brewers being about 2,24O, is
about as follows.
Total production iOn.-........-.......22, %, ,460, ,335
Produced by members of the as
soCiation ................. lis, ,375. .537
Produced by brewers outside of
the associotion. ............... 5,0S4, ,79S
Of the total number of brewers en-
gagged in manufacturing throughout the
country in the year named, about sixty
are white beer brewers, while at least
LOOP brewed less than 1,500 barrels an
nually-that is to say, they, being brew
erS and retailers at the same time,
breWed only sufficient quantity of beer
| to supply their own customers at their
bars. The proportion of malt liquors
produced by members Of the aSSOcia-
stion is, in round numbers, so per cent.
DUTY on RICE AND OTHER ARTICLES.
= During the congressional debates on
the proposed modification of the customs
tariff. it tranSpired that there was a
strong tendency to reduce the duty on
rice. and your trustees believed that in
the event of such reduction-which,a las
a matter of general policy, they would
neither have advocated nor oppoSed-it
would be prudent to endeavor to have the
duty on brewers rice correspondingly
reduced. This was done at the special
request of the brewers of st. Louis, as
submitted by Ellis wainwright. Through
the kind inStrumentality of Hon. Ash
bel p. Fitch, rice, isinglass and green
and coloTed glass bottles were included
in the list of articles, the duty on
which it was then proposed to re-
duce. This report was signed by the
entire board of trustees, comprising:
William A. Miles, Henry Clausen, Jr,
J. G. G. Hupfel and George Ehret, of
New York; III. B. Scharmann and Jo-
| seph Liebman. of BrOoklyn; Gotfried
Kruger, Newark, n. j.; Henry FL.
Rueber. Boston. Mass: Jacob Conrad,

DISCUSSING PROHIBITION.
The Trustees Say That 1t Is an
Acknowledged Failure.

Acknowledged Failure.
So long as prohibition served as
political side-iSsue in state campaigns,
and bore a purely partisan character, its
chances of success were not inconsider-
able; but as an Independent movement it
is certainly doomed to failure, especially
in view of the movements favoring high
license and local option, and of
the Republican anti-saloop agi-
tation. Besides these destructive
factors, its own inherent perni-
ciOusness is beginning to operate with
telling effect upon the minds of the more
intelligent of its advocates, and there
are, even now, certain internal evidences
that the indisputable numerical growth
of the party in some states is more than
cOunterbalanced by pretty general in
tellectual attenuation. Of two things
absolutely certain, one IS, that wherever.
during the past two years, prohibition
has been submitted to the people upon
its merits pure and simple, unaIloyed by
considerations of political or partisan
character, it was Overwhelmingly de-
feated; the other is that the authorities
and leading men of the prOhibitory
states do not hesitate to acknowledge
that prohibition is worse than a failure,
because it creates evils far more de-
Structive of the health. wealth and
morals of the people than the ancient
regime of free whisky" which at least
had the advantage of being free from
the curse of fSurreptitiOQSneSS.

A Conference Between Railroad
Commissioners and ST. Paul
Business Men.
A meeting of the st. Paul board of
trade was held yesterday afternoon
with the railroad and warehouse COM
missioners. The session was called on
account of the fact that the Minneapo-
lis 81 st. Louis and the Chicago, st.
Paul 81 Kansas City Railway companies
have recently put in scales for weigh
ing grain hauled by teams for track de-
livery. The board of trade accordingly
requests the commissioners to appoint
two weighmasters, The law, however,
does not provide for weighing grain on
track scales: nor does it oblige any one
hauling grain to weigh it on such scales.
Hence, the commission does not seeits
way clear to appoint these weighers,
who would virtually be asked to give
certificates on cars without knowing
whether or not the whole amount had
been properly weighed. The request
has not been denied, however, but the
case is still under adyiSement.
