be had for money. He had Il handsome
inheritance which enabled him to graft
fy his unusual bcncvolcncc, says Il New
York correspondent of tho Troy Times.
Parkhurst and Booth (also Presbyte-
rians) each receive the same amount,
which seems large, but these men have
SO many ways for money that they do
not get rich very fast. They have Il
long summer vacation, which costs
great deal, and then it is SO easy to
spend money. They can readily point
to other Presbyterian clcrgyIncn who
are still more favored lis point of
salary. Paxton is paid $4,000, while
John Hall has $4,000 year and
house worth 81, 900 in addition. Taylor,
of the broadway tabernacle, receives
$4,000, but pays his own rent. His
congregation however, carries $4,000
life insurance for his family, which is Il
very handsome addition. and he may
certainly be considered "well-to-do in

Rector Rainsford of ST. Georges re.
ccivcS $1,000 and Il house, which is such
handsome pay that Father Ignatius OK
pectcd IL liberal fee for preaching in st.
Georges pulpit. Rainsfortl, however,
rendered him only $50, which he re-
turned rs being too small for the occa-
sion, and in this manncr Rainsford
came out $50 ahead. Rector Sattcrlcc
of Calvary is rot so well paid. for,
though he has Il house, the salary is
only $4,000. We reach bigger figures
at st. Barthololnew's, where Rector
Green is paid $1,000 and Il house. His
congregation includes the Vandcrbilts,
whose father OVilliam) was buried
from that church, on which OCCASION
admission was by ticket. Rector
Brown of st. Thomas also receives
$4,000 and Il house, with the sltisfac-
ton of having the most fashionable
congregation in the city. Rector Hunt
ington Of Grace is paid $4,000, but the
rectory is the most spacious in the city
except Bishop Corriyan's palace.
Grace church was 1T one time the cen
ter of fashion, but it is now compelled
to live on the memory of the past.
Morgan Dix, the rector of Trinity
church, has large staff of assistants.
His salary is $4,000 and al allowance
for house rent equal to $4,000 q year.

really worth 100000, 0Co but its income
may not be SO large as that valuation
naturally represents. At the lowest
