ONE CHANGE IN TEN THOUSAND.
A Broken Mock lnclosed in a Plaster
 Cast This Morning.

Cast This Morning.
 Owen McMinniman, who was found with broken neck at Pratt's farm near Southington Monday evening, is still alive, but he does not stand one chance in ten thousand of surviving. At 10 o'clock Doctors Hughes, Pierce. Tenn and Howe drove over to the farm and performed a skillful and very fine piece of work, by applying a felt jacket and plaster paris cast and head rest to him. The least motion of the head ln such a case would kill the patient. The job was successfully accomplished, although it required three hours for its performance. The unfortunate man is paralyzed from the head down. but is entirely rational. He attributes his catastrophe to fall. It is barely possible that he may recover but the chances are against him. He will be constantly looked after and every possible effort will be made to save his life.

Purse.
 The correct way to a mans good graces Is through his pocketbook. Give a man tip" on good thing and he becomes your friend. ..The thousands of advocates of our fine ;clothing are the people who have protited by our advice to buy their clothing of us. The amount we have saved them has cemented them to us. We have reached their hearts through their pockets, and now they are paying us back by recommending us and our goods to others. The stores that advertise impossibilities wonder at our phenomenal ..business, how we flourish and grow. We are head and shoulders above them all for the largest and most varied assortment. We man ufacture in large quantities, and sell at lower prices than any other house in the city. Remember that dollars do double work at Hirsh's Ten Per Cent Clothing House, the acknowledged champion of low prices. 7s Bank street opposite the postoffice.

The recent enumeration of church-goers in
New York city suggests some rather striking
comparisons. In city of million and halt
inhabitants 164.526 does seem like rather
small number of attendants on public worship.
When we consider, however, that the average
household is supposed to consist Of two adults
and three minors, and that half the minors are
presumptively either too young to be taken to
church, or have their religious training con-
fined to the Sunday school, we must reduce the
number of chureh-going possibilities to
l,O5O,OOO. Servants who are obliged to stay at
home and persons engaged in other employ
ments which require attention on Sunday re-
duce this number still more, probably to
SOC, 900. Throw off another 80 per cent. for
the i'll and decrepit, and we get the active con-
tingent down to something like 100000 This
would indicate that about one in four of the avail
able inhabitants Of the metropolis attends divine
service on Sundays. In the smaller cities a
better rate prevails. Cincinnati, according to
a calculation made few years ago. sends to
church fifty per cent of her population, Indi-
annapolis forty and Chicago about the same. In
England a like disproportion appears between
London and the provinces. although every
where in that country the churches are better
attended than in ours.

the anomalous condition of the municipal ordi-
nances Of the District. Four distinct sets are

The general convention Of the Protestant
Episcopal church closed its triennial session
yesterday. 40 radical step Of Importance
seems to have been taken and wise conserya-
tism in accordance with the traditions of the
church has apparently prevailed. The stats
tics of the denomination show that the numbe,
of its communicates has increased in larger
percentage during the last three years than the
growth Of the country during the same period
Its laws seem TO contribute to this healthy con
dition and this vigorous growth, and the con
vsntion has, like many Of its predecessors
adopted the policy Of letting well enough

There are in the city numerous street O

There are in the city numerous street OBJ
structions which are so dangerous that they
may at any moment cause q serious accident,
and yet which do not, perhaps, come precisely
within the purview OF the ordinance governing
heaps OF building material or earth from ex-
cavations, SO that warning lights are required
to be hung on them at night In many parts
OF the city the asphalt pavement has been cut
away in long, narrow strips to permit access to
pipes laid in the earth underneath. In some
cases the excavations have been only partly
filed in, leaving gaps in which horses
could easily catch their feet and be
thrown. In others, the asphalt removed
has been replaced and left protruding in
manner that is liable to cause dangerous
falls to near-sighted persons, or, indeed, to any
pedestrian crossing the street after dark. An
example of this nuisance which has been
eyesore and a cause of offense IN other ways for
several months now is in B street between
Pennsylvania avenue and the B. and p. rail-
way station. This one is singled out for COM
plant by more citizens than any other, doubt
lees because it is in the line of more travel.
Thousands Of persons cross and recross the
obstruction every week. The falls and other
painful accidents caused by it have been num-
berless. Bruises and sprains, ruined clothing
and severe nervous shocks have resulted from it.
II no action is taken for its abatement some
most annoying litigation is bound to come be-
fore long. Every time a street is torn up the
parties in charge Of the work should be COM
PEELED to restore the surface to proper condi-
tion without needless delay. A postponement
of few days Is not always to be avoided, but a
walt Of weeks and months for q job which a
few energetic men could do in an hour lays too
much Of q strain on the good nature of the
community, for it argues not necessity but SIM
pie shiftessness. Certainly there is no justice
in making whole cityful Of people suffer a
nuisance and then taxing them to pay damages
to those of their number whose discomfort
takes on a more serious form.
