SEEKING FOR SHADE.
Pastor and People Alike Anxious for
a Summer Vacation.
GOOD PROSPECTS OF A UNION
Between the Various Sects Bearing the
Presbyterian Name.
GLEANINGs FROM CHURCH FIELDS

In most of the denominations preachers
vacations are now accepted as fixed fact.
Among Presbyterians and Episcopalians a
vacation to the minister is generally ac-
cepted as part OF the contract with the
congregation. The preacher is expected to
take a summers rest, and the congregation
is usually not only submissive, but cheerful
in having the opportunity of seeking green
shades, by seashore and on mountains during
dog days. One OF our leading churchmen
said day or two ago: "The people are as
ready for vacation as the priest. These
hot days are hard on the preacher and con-
gregation alike. We are more than willing
to give our preacher rest until cooler
weather. 1t is good all around to have
quiet time in the churches, and the rest and
recreation will no doubt enable us to do bet
ter work when we return from the summer
tour"
The Methodist churches have not so gen.
orally accepted the idea of vacation. In
general the preachers of this denomination
keep down to the work in hot weather as
cold, and only vary the work by camp meet
ing preaching. In connection with this
subject of preaching in hot weather, wag
of preacher recently related the following
incident. After preaching an hour or more
on a very hot Sunday a member of his con-
gregation asked him if it did not make him
very tired to preach in such weather. mo"
said he "I was not bit tired, but l en-
joyed it hugely to see how tired my congre-

Presbyterian Union.

At the late meeting OF the United Presbv-
terian Assembly held at Buffalo, the ques-
ton of union with the Reformed Preby-
terians or Covenanters was one OF the
prominent questions under consideration. A
committee OF five was appointed to meet in
joint committee with the representatives of
Reformed churches to develop a plan OF
union. The United Presbyterian committee
appointed by the assembly were: Rev. DR.,
s. Littell, pastor OF Sixth Avenue Church,
Pittsburg; DR.. w. J. Robinson, First
Church, Allegheny; Prof James A. Grier,
DR.. D. W. Collins and Rev. John A. Will
son, Wooster, Ohio. There are two wings
of the Covenanters (Old and New School)
and while there is little prospect o. a union
with the Old School, the New School are
apparently ripe for a marriage with the
United Presbyterians.
Pittsourg has twice been a meeting
ground for Presbyterian sects. The Asso-
ciate and Associate Reformed Presbyterian
churches were Joined in this city in 1858,
and the united church from that day to this
has been the United Presbyterian Church.
Some ten years later the old and new wings
o. the Presbyterian churches came together
in this city and old and new were unanim-
ously abolished. The old school assembly
convened in the First Presbyterian Church
on Wood street, and the new in the Third
Church, Sixth avenue in 1868. AS Pitts
burg has twice been the meeting ground for
discordant Presbyterian sects, it is not at all
improbable that in the next decade it will
be the place of meeting for other sects of the
Presbyterian faith, and that the time is
drawing near when there will be but one
Presbyterian fold in all the land.
The questions which now divide the
branches Of the Presbyterian fold are not
essential to the faith. Coveuanters, who
hold that Christianity should have place
in the Constitution. are not so strenuous for
their particulars views since Abraham
Lincoln proclaimed liberty to the bondsmen.
Christianity is now the recognized religion
of the Republic, and the malcontents who
were justihable in their opposition 10 the
Government prior to the emancipation proc
lamation, have no longer just ground Of
opposition. All signs point to a union Of
the various Presbyterian bodies before the
century is past. AS Pittsburg has been the
place selected for two Presbyterian unions,
it is highly probable that il will be selected
as the place where all American Presby-
terians will in the near future come to-
gether.

rsPEoIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHl
PHILADELPHIA, July 4.-Judge Penny
packer to-day delivered decision on the
question of Sunday shaving in the city.
The opinion was given in connection with
the appeal Of William R. Waldman, a
barber, from the magistrates fine. In stat
ing his decision the Judge said:
TT is contended upon the part of the defend
ant" Judge Pennypacker said, that since
there are some persons whose boards require
shaving daily, and there are some whose Occu-
pations through the week make it difficult
or impossible for them to get shaved
except upon Sundays, the conduct of his
business upon the days in question was a WORK
of necessity and therefore within the ex-
ceptIon in the statute. 1t seems to me
IF the position so strenuously and ably
urged by counsel for the defendant were
sound, it would result in the entire abrogation
of the act OF 1884 because the same process of
reasoning would throw open substantially all
of the avenues of business life. If there are
persons SO closely tied to their occupations
during the week that they cannot find suff-
cicnt time to get shaved except upon Sundays
the same want of time will prevent them from
seeking the shoemaker, the plumber and the
forgeman upon the ordinary days of labor
If, as has been earnestly said, the
demands of the people of this Commonwealth
have grown too great to be restrained by the
bonds imposed by the statute of 1894 and the
development of modern life are such as to re-
quire tnat these restraints should be broken
or relaxed. an appeal to the law-making power
will not long remain unheeded. The province
of judge Is to interpret, not to legislate. I
will affirm the decision of the magistrate and
cause the fine to be paid

REV. DIR. WILLIAM TAYLOR, Of the Broad
way Tabernacle, New York, Is working
earnestly for the aged ministers fund of the
Congregational Church. He hopes to secure
SlO0 900 FOR this fund. and has already secured
over $40, 600. The preacher who has worn him
self out in the service, has hitherto had poor
outlook in his old days. The churches are
gradually waking up to the idea that the
veterans should be cared for in declining years.
PREACHERS are, no doubt, like other mortals,
and when salary is not equal to the supply of
ordinary wants, and they find it difficult to fur
nlsh the ordinary comforts to wife and little
ones, they have their anxieties as other men.
While it is not claimed that they are above the
ordinary besetments and weaknesses of our
common humanity, it is pleasure to record the
following incident in the life of the great Lon
don preacher: Mr.. Spurgeon inherited large
sum OF money recently from an admirer IN an
English town, but distributed the entire amount
among the testators poor relations.

second officer, several Algerian officials and
myself were enjoying the balmy night at q
late hour on deck, relating instances of in
dividuaI bravery and noble sacrifice having
come under our personal observation, when
the second officer gave us this incident:
"On the 14th of October, 1882, witnessed
an act of supreme heroism and sacrifice at
sea. was passenger on board the steam
ship Cyprian, of the Leyland, Liverpool
and Mediterranean line, which was wrecked
that date Oh Nevin Rock, off Carnarvon
Bay, Wales. She struck in a great gale
sometime during the first watch, between
and II at night, and, breaking up fast
went to pieces long before daylight As we
were passing Holyhesd, an hour or so be-
fore the accident, a stowawsy, a pale,
trembling, half-starved boy of perhaps 15
had been hauled from the coal bunkers, and
set to some menial employment. No ships
boat could be manned the storm was so
frighttul; the shore life boat could not get to
us and one by one several on board had
plunged into the sea, preferring their chances
Of getting ashore to death on the rocks when
the Cyprian finally went to pieces.
About three o'clock in the morning,
the Captain, whose name was d. A. Stra-
chan, a hall dozen under officers and men
and the little stowaway were huddled to-
gether on deck awaiting the final struggle.
The desperate fear and despair of the lad
were frightiul to behold. Noticing this,
Captain Strachan removed the life-belt from
his own person, and, fastening it about the
boy, said quietly: Here, my poor lad,
you've more need of this than II Shortly
after, the Cyprisn went to pieces with a
crash. 1 don't know how many of that last

Shipping Gold Abroad,

When one recalls the fact that millions
upon millions of dollars in gold annually
seek Europe to provide for the necessities Of
our import trade, the question of how gold
is shipped to Europe becomes an interesting
one. The Bank of America is the largest
single shipper of gold from New York, and
indeed from the United States. Shipments
are made in stout kegs, very much like the
ordinary beer keg. Every one contains
$50, 900 in coin or bar gold. The latter is
the favorite for these shipments, since the
Government has permitted tn sub Treasury
to exchange coin for bar gold, as coin, in a
single million dollar shipment, is liable to
loss by abrasion of from eight to 20 ounces,
or from S12S to $500; while the bars only
lose about three-fourths of that value.
Where coin is sent, double eagles are pre-.
ferred. They are put in stout canvas bags,
each one containing 125 double eagles, or
5000; and ten bags fill each keg. About
the only precaution taken against tamppr-
ing with kegs, is treatment of keg-ends
technically known as "red-taping." Four
holes are bored at equal intervals in the
projecting rim of the slaves above the head.
Red tape is run through these, crossing on
the kegs head, the ends meeting at the GEN.
ter, where they are sealed to the head by the
hardest OF wax, and stamped with the con-
signor's name. The average insurance is
about 81, 500 per 81, 600, 900. Then there is
an expense of about 81 per keg for packing
and carriage aboard ship, or 5000 for the
same sum, and the inevitable loss by abra-
sion, whatever it may prove to be. There
are great Wall street firms shipping from
S25, ,OOO, 900 to 10000, 900 annually. Some
OF these have for years insured themselves,
and assert that the saving has been suffi-
cient to replace a loss OF 81, 600, ,OOO These
are large figures, but this has become q
country OF large figures and affairs.

A Place Made Fa mous By Irving.

No place excepting Tarrytown's dresmful
Sleepy Hollow was made more famous by
the association, or writings, of Washington
Irving than "Cockloft Hail." one of his first
mellow-tinted paintings in the celebrated
"Salmsgundi" papers. 1t has been al
lowed to pass completely from sight and al
most entirely from memory. 1t stood upon
the banks of the then beautiful Passaic,
within the limits of the present resident por-
tion of Newark, n. J. L like to go to the
place and identify it now and then even
though the glorious old "Hall" itself has
disappeared forever, fancying l hear Irving,
Paulding and their jolly crew still engaged
in their innocent revels. "Cockloft Hall"
was simply a queer summer-house over
hanging the Passaic on the old and noted
'Gouverneur place" 1t was the property
of the Kembles as late as 1924. 1t was then
successfully owned bv the Duryea's, the
Wakemans, and finally by the Writings,
whose heirs now live in the veritsble man
sion, disguised from recognition by expen-
sive remodeling, 10 which the ancient sum-
mer-house was attached.
The structure was an odd conceit Of an
eccentric owner. 1t was octagonal in shape,
Is feet in diameter, containing but one
apartment, with door facing the Passsic
on the east, and with single windows open
ing to each of the three other cardinal
points; for, says GeOffrey Crayon, it was one
OF Cockloft's idiosyncracies ito have all his
own views on his own land, and be beholden
to no man for a prospect" 1t was in this
quaint place, not 500 feet from the corner of
Newark's present Mt Pleasant street and
Gouverneur avenue, that the mIrth, wit and

world in the first quarter of our century
