OF that play. Hermann had lost money
steadily ever since he took the house from
Dockstader, who also lost his fortune in it.
AS far as the loss of the property goes,
there will not be much suffering. The Gil
sey estate will never feel it, and New York
already has SO many theatres that the loss
of two will not be felt, except by the COM
panies which had been booked there during
the winter and spring season.

that they We're noted In the journal as

rience as q manager, having resigned
his position rs city editor of the Morn

.'In union there is strength" We are

pose animates or controls US. Why

Jointly we represent In this State
not less than 10, 900 good men and true
from every walk of life. That the
careful management of our affairs and
the promptness with which all losses

success which has crowned our Efforts
to give our oitizens protection at cost
has aroused the jealousy and envy OF
those who have thrived on the excess
sive and unjust sums which for more
than half q century they have taken
from the American people Is not to be
wondered at. They see the hand
writing on the wall. The day for i'm

Another reason which, in my judg-
ment, renders IL expedient that we
should thus act unitedly, is-that a
bill will come up for action, l believe
on Tuesday next, to govern and con-
troll the assessment bond and financial
organizations which are now SO nu-
merous and aggressive. With these

nothing In common. This fact should
be made very clear to the members Of

DIED IN THE HARNESS.


An exciting event occurred last even
ing at the 4. L. NJ. f. Mission, on
Greeley street, just as the service was
about to close. The pulpit was filled
by the Rev Elijah Townsend, who
| preached a powerful and stirring SER
mon from the thirteenth chapter Of
Proverbs. As he warmed up with his
discourse, he seemed to be very much
excited, and as he closed referred to the
Judgment day, with the great judge
coming from the gates of the eternal
city. With outstretehcd hand, and his
eyes turned upward as though tho
hour had come, and he saw the judge
approaching, he said Hail. Hull,
Hail, and sank to his seat. His head
fell to one side, and when some of tho
congregation hurried to his relief, it
was sound that his heart had ceased to
beat, and his spirit had gone to meet
that judge of whom he had spoken.
Mr.. Townsend was born at Frederica,
Kent County, in 1921, and for many
years was the slave of Samuel MHrren,
of that place. About tho time he be-
came of age he was freed from slavery,
and shortly afterward became con

lily with his daily labor preaching in
the evenings and on Sundays. lie re-
