A Phase OF journalism.


There was a sad illustration here the
other day of the Moloch character Of the
big daily newspapers. A man named
Michael Hennessy, one of the editors of
the II mes. died after a short illness. Few
people outside of the Times office knew
Mr.. Hennessy, and, strange to say, only
small number on the inside. He had for
years edited the commercial department
of the paper His work did not require
him to be about the office great deal, and
as the new people came and the old peo<
pie went Mr.. Hennessy found himself al
most q stranger in the establishment.
His work went on with ceaseless regu-
larity. For forty-one years he was a
member of the editorial staff Of the Times.
Indeed, he assisted Mr.. Raymond in the
organization of the Times. and was on his
pay roll a month before the paper was is
sued. He was, in fact, the doyen of the
staff. His funeral called for unusual re-
spect from his associates. Just five men,
bers of the Times force attended his funeral.
One of these was Gilbert Jones himself be
it said to his credit. and another a count
ing-room clerk who had known Mr.. Hen.
messy intimately; a compositor and two
editors. One of these. q twenty-three-year
member. of the staff, told me this story
with tears in his eyes. He was shocked to
think that so old servitor of the Times
could fall by the wayside and have no
more respect paid to his memory. But
this is Journalism. Mr.. Hennessy had
outlived the friends of his early days, and
the exactions Of his daily drudgery had
prevented the formation of new profess
siona. ties, and so when he died he found
himself almost forgotten by the very news
paper which he had helped to create, and
which had for forty-one years enjoyed and
absorbed his richest faculties.

The Care of the Eyes.

Not long ago an advertisement was read
in which an optician promised to examine
the eyes of all who came to him free of
charge, and to provide glasses for the
same at moderate rates. The object of
this free examination was evidently to
provide customers for the sale of the
glasses and speetacles. The advertiser
may have been a skilled ocuiist, and per-
fectly able to provide for the needs of
his patients, but is it worth while
to make the experiment? Any one
who has ever been threatened with
blindness will protest against running any
risk in the treatment of the eyes. Sight is
the most blessed of all OF the five physical
senses. Blindness. or the thought of
blindness. seems like living death, and
only those who have experienced the fear
can understand it. Do not take any risks
with your sight. Do not experiment or al
low others TO experiment with your eyes If
they are weak or failing. Economy
of money at the risk Of losing your
evesight is foolishness. The eye is
one OF the most delicate OF organs, and
easily ruined and the sigat destroyed.

Lively Meeting ut st. Clements Ends in

Lively Meeting ut st. Clements Ends In
the Pastors Favor.
On Friday night rather spirited meet
ing was held by the members of st. Glenn
ent's Episcopal church. For some time
past the rector, the Rev. John F. Won
Herrlich. has felt that his congregation
was not supporting him in his efforts to
build up the church. The members were
of the opinion that the minister had been
engaged for six months only, and the min
lister claimed that he was engaged perma-
nently. There were also some members of
the congregation who were opposed to the
minister and who would not work in har-
mony with him.
At the meeting Mr.. Won Herrlich said
that he had been engaged permanently,
and even if he had not been, he would
never think of leaving church in any but
a safe and prosperous condition. He then
boldly declared that the congregation had
not supported him fairly, and that this
must be done in order to build up St.
Clements as it should be. There was a
very free and full discussion, which at
times grew exciting, and in which nearly
ali the members took some share. When
the talking was over vote was taken, and
with but a few dissenting voices, the pas
tor was sustained, and it was then and
there resolved to sustain him and second
all his efforts toward building up the

Parish-The ewish synagoEue.

The Rev. NJ. d. Wilson. rector Of st.
1nke's parish, of Vancouver, WASH,
rrescheds in Trinity Episcopal church
yesterday morning on the necessity Of
,,i.ng the remainder of the endowment
nsl diocese for this state. The reverend
gentleman was greeted by large congre-
cation, and received encouraging words
from all concerning the project.
Mr.. Wilson briefly explained the differ
ence between . missionary jurisdiction
and separate diocese, and detailed the
various advantages of the latter. He said
the former bore the same relation to the
general head ofthe church that a territory
did TO the Union. 1t was governed by the
central body, and was entirely under its
jurisdiction. The erection of this state
into diocese would mean that it stood in
the same relation to the federal body as
does state to the general government.
Il would have the right to elect its own
bishop. to adopt its own canon laws: it
would then be entitled to voice and vote
in the general councils of the Episcopal
church of America. and would have un-
der its own control the matter of church

He said that if the state of Washington
raised 1000, then $20, 900 more would be
given by the Episcopal church at large.
This $4,000 would be used as an invest
ment here, the proceeds of which would

be elected by the members of this separate
diocese. Of the necessary $40, 600 the sum
of $500 has been already secured and
there Is but little doubt that the balance
will be forthcoming before September 1.
Mr.. Wilson, who is the endowment
commissioner and chairman Of the endow-
ment board, proposes to call a meeting Of
the Puget sound conference to be held at
Tacoma on August II, to consider this and
other matters. The whole matter will
come up for present determination at the
general Episcopal conference, which will
be held in Baltimore on October 4. From
the feeling already expressed on tho sub

In this city and he feels very confident
that the remaining s.. 500 will be raised
before the appointed time.

The local union has secured permission
from the officers of the international
Union to include the printers of Ballard
in its jurisdiction. There are but few
printers in Ballard, but they are about all
in job offices which compete with Seattle
job offices, so it was necessary to have the

The members Of the union report large

THE FUNDAMENTAL IN RELIGION.

Dr.. Alexander Allison, OF Philad el phia,
Impresses Large Congregations.
DR.. Alexander Allison, of the Alexander
church of Philadelphia. preached at the
morning and evening services yesterday
in the First Presbyterian church of this
city. Two overlooking congregations
heard him and went away profoundly inn
pressed with his eloquence and scholar
ship. He is a man about AZ years Of age,
about medium stature and a pleasant face.
He has good delivery, uses plain and
single language and adopts q homely
style of illustration that goes straight to
the point. His sermon Yesterday, in
which he used no manuscript, was de-
voted to a discussion of the "Funda-
mental in Religion"
He thought that the nineteenth century
was the greatest century of all the ages.
Ancient Egypt might have been ahead in
art and science, but was far behind in
ethics and morality. He rejoiced that
this was an age of doubt, for that be-
tokened inquiry, but this search should
not end in doubt. but should reach out
after and obtain the truth.
This led to an inquiry into the real ma
ture Of truth. Truth in the abstract was
the harmony of the senses with nature.
But spiritual truth is the harmony of
mans will with the divine will. Moral
truth, though, was not always as easy to
demonstrate as mathematical truth. yet It
was mono the less sure and certain. The
preacher proceeded in graphic manner
to show from his standpoint that there
was no conflict between science and relig-
ion. and that modern researches proved
tho truth of revelation. He then discussed
the question of faith and showed how
necessary an element this was in the
Christian theology. DIR. Allison then
passed on to the discussion of theology
and proved it to be the science of knowing
ing about God and His ways and desires,
made up of every department of human
life.
DR.. Allison will preach here two more
Sundays and will then depart for his
home in Philadelphia. He is In no sense
candidate for the position Of minister of
the First Presbyterian church. The con-
gregation is, however, looking for q
preacher and it is not among the impos-
sible things that a call may be extended to
him.
