and slow-m) owing hymn-tunes which had been used
in the church for generation. During the life Of
Mr.. Jacobs, however, no open hostility was mani
tested, and the hymns got firm foothoh IN tile
church and Sunday sch Dol services.
When the pastor died. however, the congregation
became divided mo two factions. and those VINO
opposed the modern singing gained majority In inc
c1nsisory OF the church, the result being tlt the
choir formed from the singing school was toiu t''

AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OYER THE TELL
PHONE COMPANIES.
The right OF the public - regulate tephonc charges
has been questioned by OF the officers OF The
metropolitan Telephone and Telegraph Company and
the Telephone subscribers Association has hunted up
facts which 20 - show that the public, and state
well. have voice In the matter OF regulating the
bu i.ess OF certain pflvas corporations. In England
especially the state will not permit the public to be
imposed upon in the outrageous way In which the
Metropolitan Company is imposing upon the I'll phone
subscribers OF New York. and there laws in this
country which speak Of that right. The following cir
cuar has been published by the subscribers .Associa
