SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

What the church wants is the unA
der-propping of solitary prayer, the
strength that comes from secret COM
munion with Heaven Christian at
Work.
The Catholic Revteso of New York
estimates that there are now about
10000 colored Roman Catholics in the
United States, and that the number of
converts from communions varies from
live per cent. in some dioceses to
twelve per cent. in others.
"A messenger boy was seen to walk
up the aisle of church during service
and call out prominent physician.
The pastor, who was about to begin his
sermon, hesitated and said: Brethren,
let us pray for a sick man who is in
great danger. DR.. Grosgrain has been
called to see him." .
The institution of a class of work.
ers to be known as ttdeaconesses" by
the Methodist general conference is re-
garded by the lions Herald as a great
gain to the church. ''The work which
these consecrated women will do" it
thinks, will be an inestimable adjunct
lnd relief to the pastorate."
The total number of city mission
aries in New York may be set down at
266, who probably make 100000 visits
ayear. Besides these there are hum
dreds of tract visitors and hundreds
of poor visitors and other voluntary
agents of various churches and socie-
ties, who are going about continually
doing good.
Bishop Fowler. of the Methodist
church, began his career as lawyer,
but after he became converted he stud
led for the ministry, a calling for
which he has shown marked ability.
His early training in the law, however,
has stood him IN good stead, for
Bishop must be man with judicial
as well as theological turn of mind.

-Swinton's history has been with
drawn from the public schools of Bos.
ton. on the ground that it misrepre-
sents the Roman Catholic doctrine OF
indulgences. The following is the pas
sage which was objected to-: ''These
indulgences were, in the early ages
of the church, remission of penances
imposed upon persons whose sins had
brought scandal on the community.
But in process of time they were rep.
resented as actual pardons of guilt,
and the purchaser of indulgence was
said to be delivered from all his sins.

THE NUMBER OF STARS.

Only Six Thousand of Them Visible to an
Ordinarily Good Eye.
The total number of stars one can
see will depend very largely upon the
clearness of the atmosphere and the
keenness of the eye There are in the
whole celestial sphere about 5000
stars visible to an ordinarily good eye
Of these, however, we can never seq
more than fraction at any one time,
because half of the sphere is always
below the horizon. If we could see
star in the horizon as easily as in the
zenith, half of the whole number, or
5000, would be visible on any clear
night. But stars near the horizon are
seen through SO great a thickness OF
atmosphere as greatly to obscure their
light, and only the brightest ones car
there be seen. As result of this OBJ
scuration, it is not likely that more
than 1000 stars can ever be taken in
at single view by any ordinary eye.
About 1900 other stars are SO near the
south pole that they never rise in our
latitudes. Hence, out of 5000 sup
posed to be visible, only 1000 eyer
come within the range of our vision,
unless we make a journey towards the
equator.
As telescopic power is increased, ws
still find stars of fainter and faintex
light. But the number can not go on
increasing forever in the same ratio as
with the brighter magnitudes. because,
if it did, the whole sky would be
blaze of starlight. If telescopes with
powers far exceeding our present ones
were made, they would no doubt show
new stars of the twentieth, twenty
first, ETC., magnitudes. But it is highly
probable that the number of such sue
cessive orders of stars would not in
crease in the same ratio as is observed
in the eighth, ninth and tenth magni-
tudes, for example. The enormous
labor of estimating the number of stars
of such classes will long prevent the
accumulation of statistics on this
question, butt this much is
certain, that in special regions
of the sky, which have been
searchingly examined by various tele-
scopes of successively Increasing aper-
lures, the number of new stars found
is by no means in proportion to the in
creased instrumental power. If this is
found to be true elsewhere, the conclu-
sion may be that, after all, the stellar
system can be experimentally shown
to be of finite extent and to contain only
finite number of stars. In the whole
sky an eye Of average power will see
about 5000 stars, as have just said.
With telescope this number is greatly
increased, and the most powerful tele-
scopes of modern times will show more
than 60, 10000 stars. OF this number,
not one out of 100 has ever been catae
1ogued at all. In all. 314,926
~tars from the first to the 1-2 magni-
sudes, are contained in the northern
sky; or about 600, 600 in both hemi-
spheres. All Of these can be seen with
8-inch object-glass. Prof q. s. Holden,

road, has number of sequels,
Hanson purchased a $50 watch from
Malliet. and paid $25 in installmentS. He
claimed the watch was not what it was
represented, and refused to make any
further payments.
Malliet carried the case into Judge
Douglas Court Tuesday and lost it, The
contestants, each accompanied by his
lawyer descended to the street. Mr..
Malliet took hold of the watch and asked
Hansen to let him show that it was all
that 1t was represented to be.
Hansen accused Malliet of attempting
to steal his watch and with the assistance
of policeman dragged Mr.. Malliet to the
station house. Judge Stilsing heard the
complaint the same morning and matters
were about to be compromised all around
when Lawyer Bissell, Mr.. Malliet's coun-
sci, preferred a charge of assault and
battery on his client against Hansen.
Justice Stilsing heard the charge this
morning and dismissed the case. Malliet
Immediately hastened to Justice Weed s
office and sWore out warrant for the re-
arrest of Hansen, charging him with per-
jury. Justice Weed held Hansen in the
sum of $500 for further nearing on the

TRENTON, March 90, $780, COM
parison of the poll books and registry
list of the Ninth precinct. First district,
and Second precinct of the Second dis
trict was completed today The Second
precinct of the Second district developed
a series of outrageous frauds. There
were eighty-three names on the poll
book which were not on the registry.
Three men were on the registry list
three times each and on the poll hook
were twenty-five names entered as hav-
ing voted twice and two as having voted
three times. One man, who is marked
on the registry dead" was on the poll
book as having voted.
The certificate on the poll book declares
that 397 votes had been cast, while 361
were checked off the registry. The Off
GERS of this precinct were John A. Wha-
len, Joseph G. Mulraine, David Gordon
and NJ. j. White.
An equally bad state of affairs
was discovered in the Ninth pre-
cinct of the First district =
129 names which could not be found on
the registry were marked on the poll book
as having voted. Thirty one one names
were voted on twice, and four three times
The registry contained 7S5 names 494 of
which were checked for having voted.
Michael Kelly, James Tammons, Charles
Nugent and William 4. Howe were the
officers in this precinct.
The clerks are still at work on the First
precinct of the Second district.

RAILROAD NOTES.

The candy butchers and paper peddlers
on the d. l.. g. w. road are source OF
annoyance in more ways than one. Sew
eral of their annoying habits have been
complained Of. Their latest mode of ag-
gravating passengers is to haul their big
iron bound boxes, baskets and packages
to the car platform before the train
reaches the depot. In this way they
blockade the platform and prevent pas
sengers who are in hurry from alight-
ing. There has been some vigorous pro-
testations lately from commuters who
are annoyed and delayed in this way. but
theWdo not appear to have any effect on
the hard hearted, brazen-cheeked boys.

Proceedings to Determine the Rights of
City and Railroad on South Cove.
The Street and Water Board this morn-
ing held a i've minutes session and lls-
tened to the reading of a writ of certiorart
served by the Central Railroad Company
in the fight between the city authorities
and that company over the encroach-
ments on the South Cove grant.
At the last meeting of the Board a reso-
luton was adopted directing the Clerk Of
the Board to notify the Central Railroad
Company TO remove all obstruction on
said grant as speedily as possible. other
wise the city authorities would take the
matter in hand and remove the tracks. q
portion of the Henderson street freight
station and portion OF the trestle work
leading to the Hoboken Coal Company's
coal pockets, which encroach upon said
grant, at the company's expense.
The writ is made returnable on the firse
Tuesday in June. Meanwhile proceed
ings upon the part of both the company
and the city authorities VII remain in
statu quo.
This step of the Central Railroad
Company is interesting to the public, be-
cause it yet remains to be seen what the
Lehigh Valley Company will do in the
matter of reconstructing the Henderson
street bridge in the meantime without
which the hastily constructed tracks OF
tnat company along the towpath are rem
dered absolutely useless, no matter what
the nature of it's scheme.
The writ was referred by the Board to
the Corporation Counsel and the Corpora-
ton Attorney.

At the brief meeting held yesterday by
County Board OF Health a long petition
from Bishop Wigger was read. It sets
forth the necessity of adding to the size
OF the new cemetery on West Side ave-
nue., and stated that sixty acres had been
purchased for that purpose.
The petition asked the Health Board to
permit the use of the land. A resolution
to that effect was adopted
President Gordon informed the other
members that he was dissatisfied with
the report made by Surveyor, Frank E.
Earle, of the condition of school No. 5, and
recommended that the Board of Educa-
tion be asked to abate the nuisance caus-
ing the bad smell in the building within
ten days.
1t was suggested that four cold air
boxes be attached to the furnaces and
connected with external aid to purify the
atlnospere in the building.
Mr.. Bumsted, of Clinton avenue, who
some time ago petitioned the Board to
abate the nuisance caused by sunken lots
adjoining his property, in a communica-
ton protested against filing them in as
doing so would force tine waste water on
his property He wanted the owner to
