AN IMPORTATION.


The Holy Trinity church, Of New OK,
imported the Rev. Il. Walpole Warren
from England to fill its pulpit as pastor.
When he came over the rector, wardens
and yestrymen Of the church were sued fol
violation, of the contract labor law and 4
fine Of $1,000 was imposed upon them. 1t
had not been supposed that the law would
operate to the exclusion of ministers Of the
gospel and when it was announced that
such was the plain construction Of the act
a good deal of surprise was manifested

THE JEWS.


A German scientific society recently arl-
thorized the compilation Of the nun bers II
the Jewish race in the world Scattered as
they are through all the nations it was a
difficult task, but the following figures OBJ
tanned are probably the most complete
and accurate ever collected: Europe.
6,301, 800; Asia, $4,000; Africa, 5O75Oo;
America, 2s5, ,2o9; Australia, 1350o; New
Zealand, 2,5oo. Total, /, 7,4O4 $50. There are
more Jews in Russia than in any country
in the worlds 5000. Nahida Remv. n
Catholic lady Of Vienna has just written a
book of exceptional interest showing
what the women Of the Jewish race have
done for the earliest history, as rulers IF
the state and household, as mothers Of
families and educators of the Young as
thinkers and writers. The publication
board of which Hon. Simon Wolf, of
Washington, D. O., is member, has au-
thorized him to translate this work from
the German, to be issued as one OF its
series Of books, and he is now doing it.
Mr.. Wolf who was once consul general to
Egypt is in New Y York to see about liz
scheme for the vindication Of the Jewish
citizens from the criticism by Mr.. Rogers,
Of Connecticut, charging them with a lack
Of patriotism in the late war. He saws he
has already received letters: from Generals
Sigel, Schurz, Stahla and Howard, testifying
to good service in the Union army by
members of the Jewish race. Mr.. Wolf
has also information which shows that
more than one-half Of all the Hebrew
males in the United States at the time Of
the war were in the armies, there having
been approximately 10000 on both sides
out Of total male population of 10000.
Mr.. VOLTS book upon this subject is to be
issued by the Jewish Publication society at
Philadelphia. 1t will contain mass Of
information showing Jewish hnanciers,
such as the Seligmans, Of New York; SOL
diers in nearly all the grades Of the volun-
teer army people Of wealth who helped in
the great sanitary commission movement,
and ladies who went into the hospitals to

New York, November 1S.-The big
steamship Huntcliffe, laden with raw
sugar, arrived off the bar from Java
yesterday and anchored to await orders
from either the consignees, Ceballos &
Sons, of No. 80 Wall street, or their
brokers, Simpson, Spence & Young.
The Huntcliffe usually docks at the Will
mington Stores in Philadelphia, and her
master, believing that he would be or
dered to proceed to the Quaker City, did
not take on a Sandy Hook pilot when ap-
preaching the Hook.
The Philadelphia pilots were on the
lookout for the steamer, as the pilotage
fees on her are very large because she
draws fully twenty-tree feet. 1t so hap
pened yesterday that Pilots Gus Clampet
and w. J. Marshall, of Philadelphia, each
unconscious of the others act, called on
the consignees' and brokers' offices on
the long distance telephone and inquired
about the Huntcliffe. Each was notified
that she was lying off the bar, and the
pilots rushed pell- -mell for the railroad
station, their object being to come on to
New York and board the steamer at the
bar, and thus secure the prize before any
of their brother pilots in Philadelphia
caught on to their game.
They met at the station and instantly
recognized each other. OF course, each
surmised the others motive, but they
boarded the train each determined to
reach New York ahead of the other. Ar
irving at Jersey City they rushed for the
ferry poat and legged it in great style
down West street. Marshall hired the
Ferguson.
Pilot Clampett secured the high pres
sure tug J. Fred Lohman, which left the
Barge Office dock a few minutes later.
The race was hot one. Down the bay
the two tugs steamed. Smoke poured
from the smokestack of each. In the pi-
lot house of each tug stood the pilot
waiting to jump on the vessel if his tug
managed to get there first. This crews
of the two boats seemed to be enthused.
The Ferguson got alongside the Hunt
cliffe first and Pilot Marshall was hoisted
aboard in twinkling. The JohInan was
not far behind, and before Marshall had
finished shaking the hand of the Hunt
cliffe's captain Pilot Clampet dashed up
and grabbed the captains disengaged
hand. Then both pilots claimed the
privilege of plotting the Huntclitfe back
to Philadelphia, Clampet asserting his
right through having been notified by
the brokers.
Both men remained aboard last night.
They were very much disgusted to
learn today that the Huntcliffe will prob
ably be discharged at this port and not
at Philadelphia In that event their race
will prove expensive to the pilots, for the
hire of tug is $50 alone, to say nothing
of their fare from and to Philadelphia.

FAIR CHORlsTERs GRIEvED.
Bishop Starkey Says They May Sing But
Not in Supplies.

NEW YORK, November 18.-There Is
some trouble and much sorrow in Christ
Protestant Episcopal church on Clare
mont avenue, Jersey City. Some time
ago Miss Battin, the daughter of the
rector, suggested the establishment of a
mixed and surpliced vested choir. Mr.
Battin gave his sanction and the congse-
cation readily adopted the idea. Ten
male and 10 female voices were selected
and put in training. Miss Battin par
chased the materials and personally
superintended the making of 10 snow
white surplices for the female choristers,
and 10 caps were bought. The male
choristers supplied their own outfits.
Bishow Starkey, however, when he
heard of the innova ion, not only NJ
bade the appearance of the capped and
surpliced young ladies in the chancel,
but he even went SO far as to prohibit
them from sitting in the church in the
proposed garb.
The men, said Bishop Starkey, could
wear what they pleased Vestments
were for men, not for women. In the
street women might assume mems gar
ments if they wished; they might wear
if they felt inclined, but a halt must be
called when women undertook to don
surplices in a church.
He had no objection to the blending of
male and female voices. He believed it
would be productive of harmony and i'm
proved singing. But the ladies could not
be permitted to enter the chancel.
CARRIED in ordinary costume, they must
sit in the front seats and sing from there.

CLEVELAND OPPRESSED.
He Tells Jubilant Democrats of the Great
Load He Is Carrying.

New YORK, November 18.-At a din
ner given by Henry Willard last night,
Grover Cleveland, in a speech, said;
Il confess, have fully shared in the
partisan satisfaction which our great
victory is calculated to arouse in every
heart so thoroughly Democratic as mine.
1t is seldom given to any man to con-
template such splendid campaign so
masterfully arranged in his behalf by
such good friends, followed by such a
stupendous and complete triumph. 1
should not, perhaps, introduce anything
sombre on this occasion, but know you
will forgive me, when l say every feeling
of iubilation and even my sense of graft
tude is so tempered as to be almost en-
tirely obscured by the realization, nearly
painful, of the responsibility have as
sumed in the sight Of the American peo-
pie. My love of country, my attachment
to the principles of true Democracy, my
appreciation of the obligation have en-
tered into with the best and most confid-
ing people in the world, and conscious
ness of my own weakness and imperfec-
tions, all conspire to fill my mind with
sombre and expressing reflections.
ssWhen consider all that we have to
do as a party, charged with the control
of the government, I feel that our cam
paign instead of beingIconcluded is but
just begun. But I thank God that far
above all doubts and misgivings, and
away beyond all difficulties, we may con-
stantly see the lights of hope and safety.
1.-THE light we see is the illumination
from the principles Of true, honest and
pure Democracy, showing the way in all
times of danger and leading us to the
fulfillment Of political duty and the re-
demption of all our pledges. This light
is kiridled in the love Of justice and in
devotion to the peoples rights. 1t is
bright in constant patriotism and in
nations promise. Let us not be misled
to our undoing by other lights of false
Democracy, which may be kindled in
broken faith, and which, shining in hy-
pocrisy, will. if followed, lure us to the
rocks Of failure and disgrace. If we
see stern labor ahead of us and if diff
culties loom upon our horizon let us re-
member that in the thickest weather the
mariner watches most anxiously for his
true light.''

A DREAMER OF GOTHAM.
He Has Seen Cleveland Funeral, but the
President-E1ect Probably Is Not Worried
in Consequence.

New YORK, November 19-The Adj
vertiser today says: There is much talk
in down town business circles about a
series of dreams experienced last month
by P. II. McNamee, real estate broker
and mining stock operator of No. SO
Broadway. The first one was on Octo-'
ber 2, and was in effect that Cleveland
would be elected President of the United
States. This prosaic fact stood out bold
ly as the motive in a gorgeous apotheosis
of the obese candidate which figured in
the vision. 1t represented Cleveland
astride long-eared and short bodied
charger, labeled Democracy whose
hoofs restly paved golden cloud that
was bearing the pair toward the White
House. The same dream was repeated
on the two following nights, only the
chargers ears kept getting longer and
the cloud got nearer to the executive
mansion.
Much to his displeasure, Mr.. McNamee
could interpret this dream in but one
way Although a Republican, he could
not rid himself of the conviction that it
meant Cleveland would surely be elected.
He had passed through similar series
of dreams in 1884. Then the apotheo-.
SlS lldtl OAU cuUpC, OoU ~ Nfto
Cleveland all the same, on his way to the
White House.
But the most important dream of all is
the one Mr.. McNamee had on October
IA. Instead of an apotheosis it was a
funeral cortege. Mr.. Cleveland was
dead. The dreamer coulc hear the
drumbeats of the dead march, see the
tear-stained cheeks of mourners as the
solemn pageant moved by, not out of,
the White House. A white mantle cov
cred the ground, and the trees glistened
as the sunshine bathed their snow-clad
branches. All about were the unmis-
taxable signs of mid-winter. Through
the glass sides of the hearse could be
seen coffin decked with flowers. A
wreath of immortelles bore the legend,
january Z, 1s93." Above the drum
beats could be heard the name 'sGrover
Cleveland" AS one carriage passed, the
coachman, in hushed voice, uttered
the word ''apoplexy."
From my dream Of October Ia, " said
Mr.. McNamee, II can draw but one CON
clusion, namely, that Mr.. Cleveland will
die of apoplexy before he is inaugurated
as President of the United States.n

tions on some other day or days of the
week urging parents to teach the chill
dren Christian doctrine in their homes.
These Sunday and week day schools
should be under the direct supervision
of the clergy, aided by intelligent lay
teachers and, when possible, by mem
bers of religious teaching orders

the question. No other business upon
the matters discussed by the conference
