tify Before the Methodists.
The revival services at st. Paul's M.
E. Church in Third street were led last
evening by Frederick Aileff, Superinten-
dent of the Eighth Avenue Mission in
New York, and six other young men
from the mission. Mr.. Aileff and the
six others told the congregation that they
were once given to nearly all manner of
vices, in particular to drunkenness and
gambling. They were converted at the
Eighth Ave nue. Mission, and for two
years have led exemplary lives and en-
joyed consequent prosperity. Mr..
Grant, the founder and supporter
of the Eighth Avenue Mission,
made an earnest plea for zeal in the work
of reforming the fallen. The Rev. Nh
Daily of the Centenary Church took part
III the service.
After the meeting the pastor. the Rev.
William Eakins conferred with the Rev.
M. Daily and members of st. Pauls
Church, and concluded to close the meet
ing next Friday evening, until after the
holidays

ary Church. Tonight Mr.. Hadley, Super
inJendent of the Water Street Mission in
New York. will lead for Mr.. Eakins: to-
morrow night Pastor Houston, the "blind
evangelist of the Knox Presbyterian
Church Will be present. and Rev. Stephen
Merritt, the undertaken lay preacher of
New York, will again take part.

HEAVY TAX PAYMENTS.
Yesterdays $4,000 Likely to Be
Exceeded Today.

Yesterdays tax receipts take the lead
over any day since the bills have been
ready. The receipts in round numbers
amounted @ 100, as was ascertained,
when at l.. clock, City Collector
O'Neill, Deputy Collector McCartin and
Chief Clerk Tuthill had balanced their
accounts. The day was busy one, put
there was no confusion In the Collectors
Office.
Upstairs in the Aldermanic Cham Der.
where the bills are being made out, the
greatest confusion prevailed. The tax
nothing like order could be maintained.
Today, however, the prospects are that
everything will pass off smoothly.
Benches have been placed in the unoccu-
pied corner of the Aldermanic chamber
outside of The railing and taxpayers are
compelled to occupy them. Policeman
Byrnes keeps the people in line, and as
mits the first on the long line TO enter.
This prevents any pushing and showing
for place near the clerks.
The receipts today also promise to be
heavy. Checks have already come in
from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
amounting to $S49.73. Another comes
from Lorillard & Company, which
amounts to $4,000. while bob" Elliott's
check for the gas companies is $16, 900.
Charles McWilliams was also on hand
with one for $500. But few complaints
had been made up to half past twelve
O'Clock. Clerk Herbert had given out
about fifteen appeal blanks.
The only objector who refused to be
argued with or convinced that her valua.

AMATEURS In "SINGIN' SKEWL."

The well established reputation of Herbert
Quaife, son of Mrs. Stephen Quaife, the original
Aunt Polly Bassett, was sufficient to attract a
good sized audience to Crescent Hall last night
to witness performance of the ''Singin' Skewl. -
Mr., Quaife was assisted by his sister and large
number of young people who had volunteered
to take part in the performance, which was
given for the benefit Of William T. Sherman
Council, R. A.
The programme was well selected for an en-
tertainment of this character, and the local par
ticipants in it acquitted themselves admirably.
The rising of the curtain was followed by the
chorus ''Auld Lang Syne," in which the entire
'Skewr' took part. This was succeeded by
solos, recitations, duets and choruses and a
''spellin' match" "
Among those who volunteered their services
to make the entertainment a success were:-
Miss Jennie Vreeland. Miss Nellie Brown. Miss
Jennie Van Winkle, Miss Lulu Steubenvoll, Mrs
Hattie Benson -Terwilliger, vocalist and reciter;
Mis- Mary Ackerson, soprano, and Miss Hattie
