SURPRISE IN A PoUGHKEEPsIE CHURCH.
10 Lhe Edftof OF The Trf6Mne.

Sir: The report 50 published in The Tribune
this morning. that petition had been sent TO the
New York East Conference requesting change In the
pastorate Of the Cannon Street Methodist Episcopal
Church here, has created some surprise In Pough-
keepsIe. few weeks ago the presiding elder and
Mr. Alderman the pastor, were officially Informed
that the officers and church unanimously in his
favor and It was supposed that HIS return was q
settled fact up to the beginning Of the present Con-
ference.
Dir. Alderman has worked hard 10 build up the
Cannon Street Church. and nearly half Of the present
membership has been received nJo the church during
his pastorate. His friends feel that he has been
treated unjustly II any change was desired, notice
should have been given officially some time ago The
msjorty OF the members Of tho church believe In an
open field and fair discussion. JUSTICE.

DEAF MUTEs NOT INCREASING so RAPIDLY

DEAF MUTEs NOT INCREASING so RAPIDLY
TO the bdftor Of rae Tribune.
Sir: Permit me TO correct your broad statement
In q former issue that deaf mutes have increased
400 per cent while population has increased only
100 per cent, according to Professor A. Graham
Bcl's letter 10 tho Census Committees OF Congress-
The large percentage Of 400 does not refer to the
deaf mutes alone but TO the defective classes
whole-the blind insane, idotIo and other helpless
classes with which the deaf mutes arc unfortunately
confounded.
There Is really ground for tho theory OF the for
nation OF deaf race Of men, simply because out OF
the 30 900 deaf mutes fully 30 per cent lost hearing
from cness from purely accidental causes ana the
defect Is not repeated in tho offspring; on the other
hand congontal deafness has been decreasing, as Is
shown by the annual reports OF eyery State lnSutu-
ton in the land HENRY e. WHITE.

THE CAREER OF SENATOR TELLER.

To tie Editor OF Ths Tribune.
Sir: In your Washington Gossip in to-day's issue
appear anecdotes OF Senator Teller which stand
In need OF correction. Senator Teller was born and
reared farm in A1egany County, this State, and
was educated in the common schools and local acad-
emies After completing the course In Alfred Acad-
envy he became principal Of the Academy at Angelica.
and whlc holding that position he read law with tho
late Martin Grover, who for many years eminent
as Judge Of the highest courts Of this State. Imme-
dlately upon his admission to the bar Mr.. Teller
formed a partnership with a well-known lawyer of
Illinois, whittier he went by rail, and not by raft
After practising successfully for two years In Illinois,
he went to Colorado In tho spring Of 1901, There
no continued in tic practice OF HIS profession, In which
he gained early and marked prominence.
While Senator Teller is a setma man In tho
best sense Of the term, owing his success 10 native
ability and hard work. presumably no does not care
TO figure the hero OF the romantic tale OF the ven
cradle merchant OF Nunda. sCIo.

Sir; VIM you kindly give space TO this article. In
order that 1t may possibly cali forth reply that viii
explain to some Of your readers the basis of the law
now existing making would-bo suicides subject 10
arrest and punishment. We are unable 10 discover
any good resulting from the enactment Of such law
law, which, to our mind partsaps largely of the
clement Of inhumanlty. As all know. the records
show marked increase in this country Of the ten
dency to commit suicide; but in what way this law
can deter mind bent upon sedestructon we fail to
see In the majority Of suicide is the act of
mind diseased-oren liberated impulse Should
not such persons be held Irresponsible and saved from
their unhappy condition by other and moro humane
measures than this law nnictsI There are numerous
ptiable instances Of suffering that drives its victims
to condition Of hopeless despair and when, made
mad from llfes history" they seek coveted oblivion
and fall TO accomplish their design must feel that
the grasp of the police officer and Incarceration in cell
means OF cruel severity for bringing them back
TO reason and TO prolonged existence, intensified IN
lis misery by tho conscious stigma Of having been the
subject Of arrest and Imprisonment We wish that
somo better mind than ours would give thought 10
this subject and suggest genler, moro humanizng
by which this class Of unfortunates may rather
find kindly hand extended to help them, and q
softentng word Of sympathy to strengthen and en-
cOurag; them to believe that life may be made worth
living-n short, may BIO met with an influence for
good rather than positive evil. Would 1t not be
noble benoHcence in this city to provide place Of
refuge, for tine, for such these-an asylum,
where under kind, reformatOry influences, many
might be saved and live to bless the hand that saved
themi We hope for repeal Of this law, the affect OF
which Is not TO pduce the number Of suicides but TO
mako those who contemplate tho act more pains
taking and determined to avoid failure in 1t.

MONEY AND PATRONAGE.

Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, is
credited with views upon the use of
money and spoils i'm politics which will
gravely compr mise his standing as
republican unless he disavows their
authenticity. He ia represented as
saying that our institutions are being
undermined by the corrupt use of
money, that the last Minnesota legisla.
ture was the worst ever known in the
state, that from all accounts New York
has had similar experience. and that
'there must be stop to this business
soon or there will be danger of revolu-
tion." Coming down to the root of
the evil, he says:
My opinion is, however, that the
party i'm power is weakened by patron
age. The wrath Of the disappointed
more than offsets the work of the men
who are favored with place. Seriously,
| think the patronage question Is the
rock that is most likely to wreck the
administrations of to-day. A very
prominent gentlemen in this city, who
has himself been q candidate for presi-
dent, said TO me this morning that he
did not believe another president
would be renominated and reelected
tor the next hundred years. The in
cumbent of the office of president
would be SO handicapped with old
promises " hich he had not been able
to keep that it would be dangerous to
think of renominating him. l am in
clined 10 think he is right. The ten
dency of the times is against renomi-
mating presidents. Mr.. Harrison
should make up his mind to retire at
the end of his four years.

OHUROH GOING BY TELEPHONE.

From the Boston Herald.I
1t has been rumored frequently, since
the telephone vent into operation, that
it could be used tor transmitting the
sermons and the church services on
Sunday to the homes of those whc
could not attend Sunday worship, OF
were too lazy to put forth the mecessa =
ry eXeruOn; but it bas been telt that
there was more poetry than truth in
any snch device.
1t is now stated by a cOrresOndent OF
the London Standard that the South of
England Telephone company has been
able TO convey to invalids, to doctors
and chemists assistants on duty, 10
people five miles distant from the
church, and to Il large number of pri-
vate residences in various parts of an
English town, the whole OF the church
service Sunday morning and evening,
80 that the organ voluntaries, the sing
ing the reading and the sermon Was
clearly transmitted.
Sixteen wires were connected wit h
Il single church and the preacher was
satisfactorily heard in as many
different places. The success of thi,
experiment has already been such that
wires are being laid to the homes of
subscribers in various adjoining En-
glish towns, who will thus be able to
participate in religious worship at IL
distance. The success of this expert
ment will undoubted cause its repeti-
ton in all parts OF England, and it will
be a great boon to all who are debarred
from joining in Christian worship with
their bodily presence.

A MISSOURI GIRL.

The following picture of charming
Missouri girl, daughter of Gen. John
B. Clark, OF Fayette, is from the pen OF
Miss Ethel Ingalls,, daughter of Senator
Ingalls,, and now gossipy correspon-
dent OF a Washington City paper:
"Gen. John b. Clark, the clerk OF
the house, has young daughter who
is genius in the literary line. She
bears the quaint name of Mayne and
it suits her perfectly. She is tall,
willowy girl and particularly pretty.
I.er face is oval and her mouth is a
fac simile of Cupid's bow. Grayish
blue eyes, bright and fiery, light up
an intellectual tace was told recent
ly. that an anonymous novel from her
pen would be published soon. Judg-
ing from her short stories the novel
will be pathetic and will abound with
charming pen pictures of humanity and
nature, TO the study of which she is
truly devoted Several of her poems
have been published in Baltimore aud
Boston journals; also short stories.
Miss Clark was pupil Of the George
town convent, the oldest Catholic
institution of its kind in the United
States, and was the valedictorian OF
the class of 1887, receiving the hand
some gold medal for prose and po-
etrY."
