PARIS, October 15.-Mle. Barlet OF
the Coincide Franchise is at once born
actress, finished and complete, and also
a distinguished and charming woman
even her great rival, Sarah Bernhardt,
seems 10 me not superior. She is all In
telligence, grace, charm, delicate and
winning; better than any other, she can
put into the movement Of the head or
an infection of the voice whole world
of sentiment and thought-no play more
full Of lights and shades, more delicate
ly expressive aud by turns more simple.
She excels in representing woman In
her maturity, impaSSioned, yet chaste,
and in showing or allowing TO be
guessed through the restrictions OF
worldly propriety, with the most touch
ing and anti-romantIc mOdesty, the SUI
ferings, and, by turns, the falling and
revolt of noble and crushed hearts. And
nothing is pleasanter to see than her
little Grecian head, pretty and proud as
that OF q Marie Antoinette, refined;
nothing equals the winning tones OF her
silvery voice, and the woman is as ex-
quisite as the artist.
The pretty apartment she occupies In
the Rue de Rivoi, with its fine lookout
over the Tuileries Gardens, is exactly the
frame, neat and rechechre, which best
suits the pretty woman, full OF taste and
tact, who divines instinctively what
sets her off to the best advantage.
OF very delicate health, she reserves
all her strength for her art, which she
passionately loves. The friends whom
she receives intimateiy-and II few In

FORTY-THREE YEARS,
REV. JAS T. MLURE AND HIS REMARKABLE
PASTORATE AT THE
United Presbyterian-0ns Of the Largest Pas
9rates in the History Of The C;ty-Years
Rull Of Honor and Fruitful Labors.
Review Of the Passionate.

One Of the longest and most remark
oble pastorates in the history Of the
city, and one full Of honors and fruitful
labors, is that now being enjoyed by
Rev. James Thomas Mcclure, d. D.,
pastor OF the United Presbyterian
Church, on Chapline street. 1t will be
remembered that DR.. Mcclure recently
celebrated his one hundred and sixty
eighth communion. He has been shep-
herd of the flock uninterruptedly for
over forty-twO years, and the tenth Of
next March will round out the forty
third anniversary. During all these
years there has existed the most FREUD
y relations between pastor and people,
and in fruitful and lasting results, a
proud record has been achieved.
FOrty-three years.
Think of the sermons, and the lee
lures. and the informal talks, and even
the genial presence Of the beloved pas
tor in all this cycle Of time; and think
for a moment Of the incaleulable benefit

tend. But after these conditions were
appeaSed activity was resumed, ana
from that time to the present day the
membership has steadily grown, until
now it is, perhaps, in better condi-
tion aud gives more evidence OF future
prosperity than ever before. VI the
list OF members on the roll OF the
church when DR.. Mcclure took charge
only two remain in active membership.
There are two other members still on
the roll, however, bat one o. them has
removed from the city, and they are
not so closely identified with the church.
A circumstance in DR.. McClure's pas
torate, readily recalled by the older
residents of the city, and which shows
the determination, energy and consist
ency OF purpose that pervaded his ma
ture, was the calming OF an indigna-
ton meeting that threatened TO take
possession Of thecity in '65. 1t was at
the time of Lincoln's assassination, and
riotous proceedings were likely TO re-
snlt from the high state Of feeling.
The meeting was held in the old Court
House on Chapline street, during which
DIR. Mcclure delivered most earnest
and eloquent appeal for the people to
refrain from lawlessness, and pre-
serve the principle Of trne, Ameri-
can citizens. 1t was such a speech
as thrilled those who heard, and touched
the hearts OF all, and was largely in
strumental in bringing about a peace
ful state of affairs.
Being equipped with good classical
education at the beginning Of his min
istry, DR.. Mcclure has been close
student, and has made himself familiar
with literary and scientific advance
ment. The important questions OF the
day have called forth from him valuable
contributions to literature, articles for
the press, and we'll known volume,
entitled "Science and the Bible" For
moro than thirty-two years also he has
served as director of the Theological
Seminary Of Allegheny City. The de-
gree of L. l.. ID. was conferred upon
him by Westminster College OF Penn
sylyania.

Il has been to hundreds Of souls over a
wide stretch Of territory, through all
the interchange Of membership brought
about by the ever shifting scenes OF
humanity.
Four thousand sermons!
Such has been the number delivered
by DR.. Mcclure during his passionate.
In addition to these he has given over
two thousand weekly lectures and Otlici-
ated at three hundred and fOrty-eight
weddings. During all these years over
1000 people have been taken into the
church.
This congregation was originally or
Canized under the name of the ASsocl-
ate Reformed Church. The Associate
and the Reformed Churches formed an
organic union about the year 1TS9.
After several years OF earnest trial,
union between the Associate and the
Associate Reformed Churches was
completed, which formed what Is
known as the United Presbyterian
Church. The formal organization OF
the congregation took place on the gath
dsy OF November, 1913. The church at
that time was located at Short Creek,
with Rev. William Wallace pastor. IN
1866 it was determined TO change the
location OF the church property, and TO
erect a new house Of worship. The
church now represented by the present
ediice on Chapline street was erected
at a cost of $4,000.
DIR. Mcclure was born near Pittsburgh
and first saw the light Of day July 10,
1922. His parents, Daniel and Hannah
(McFarland) Mcclure, were both ma
tives Of Allegheny county, Both OF the
Rrandfathers were born In Ireland, OF
Scotcb-Irish families. Daniel and Han
nah Mcclure were married In their
native county, August II, 1sOs, and SIX
children were born to them, OF whom
the only survivor is the subject OF TN TINS
sketch. The father died June 3, Io@5'
and the mother March "a, 1876.
James Thomas Mcclure gained the
rudIments Of his education in district
school; and then at the age OF 10 years
began teaching in similar Schools

ana the subsequent period Of his pas

other minister in Wheeling, has been
one characterized by kind relations and

has notably prospered, and its pulpit
has been one of the most influential in
the city.
Among the ups and downs OF the
church, about 1855 and along to 1860,
there was very strong current Of pop
ulation flowing westward, and the spirit
OF immigration seized hold Of this as
