NEW YoRK, March 17.-says a writer in

NEW YORK., March 17.-Says a writer in
the World: alpr
There is no body afmen, taken as a class,
who devote greater attention to matters of
public interest than the preachers of New
York city, no matter of what denomination.
Brought into contact with almost every
phase of life, and witnessing scenes of
varied character, there are few matters of
Importance which escape their attention.
So constant and firing are their labors that
very few are the preachers who do not suf-
fer from overwork, nervous troubles n
other ailments that arise from too much
brain work, care and anxiety. The news
papers have recently had much to say about
this overworking of our city ministers,
which has caused the retirement of several
prominent clergymen. With a view of dis
covering the truth of these statements a
reporter called OIL some well-known pastors
and interviewed them concerning the mat
ter.
Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. NJ. E.
Church said: slam a sufferer from dyspep-
STA, and have been SO for years. The doc
tors tell me that in my case it is hereditary.
l know that it has caused me a great deal of
misery, and has interfered with my work
to a great extent. because ifa man is not
well physically, he cannot labor for other
peoples spiritual welfare. Ihave had oc-
casion to use some of Paine's celery COM

is, without doubt, the best medicine I ever
used, and is capable of curing even so severe
a case as mine. 1t has my unqualified in

Rev. A. X. Sanford, pastor of the 35th
Street M. E. Church, was out when the re-
porter called at his residence, 33 West 22d
street, but Mrs. Sanford made the following
statement in her husbands behalf: During
the past year Mr.. Sanford has had a vast
amount of extra work to do. The regular
labors of his church are severe enough, but
he was so anxious to accomplish a great
deal that he undertook to do more than he

The Bad Senator seems to have done
q bad seasons work for his dear
friends, the liquor dealers. In wip-
ing out the stigma of keeping dis
orderly houses when they sell liquor
on Sundays, he has subjected them to
pains and penalties which they will
like even less.
This is characteristic of the work OF
the Bad Senator and, generally, OF
Bob Davis and his gang at Trenton,
this year. There was not brains
enough in the whole combination to
make laws for a village debating So
ciety. We honestly believe there is
not one of the laws which they passed
that will accomplish the purpose
which they had in view.
They were a pack of laundering,
clumsy fools. and, all the coming year,
they will have the pleasure of garner
ing in. bit by bit, the crop of folly
they sowed so lavishly in those mad
nine weeks of the Bad Legislatures
session.

Pathetic Scene at the Funeral of NJ,
George a. Meyers.

Pathetic Scene at the Funeral of hrs.
George a. Meyers.
The funeral OF Mrs. George A. Meyers.
of No. $40 Summit avenue, was held
Thursday afternoon, and the service was
most impressive. Nearly twenty of the
pupils of the school which Mrs. Meyers
taught were there to show their great ap-
probation and devotion to their lost
friend. Their sorrow was most pro-
nouncel, and several of the little girls
burst into tears when the body was taken
from the house. 1t was a pathetic scene,
and one which will not soon be forgotten
by those who there besides the little girls
and boys. One little boy when outside
said: ''She was just like a mama to me,
II 1 loved her." They all felt their
loss. The Rev. Cornelius Brett, of the
Dutch Reform Church. conducted the
service. The intermenr was held at the
Dutch Reformed Cemetery.
Mrs. Meyers was Il noble kind hearted
woman who instructed her pupils both in
worldly and spiritual knowledge. She
had a host of friends on the Heights and
her death is regretted by a multitude.

a poor state of health, his nerves over

when the reporter called. He said, how

remedy and shall recommend it wherever
Ihave an opportunity"
Rev. R. D. Winn, pastor of the Abyssinian
Church, who was seen at his residence, No.
263 West 10Th street, said: "My career as a
minister of the Gospel has been hampered
by the fact that for years 1 hav suffered
from nervousness. Three years ago 1 had
an attack of nervous prostration that was
so severe that l had to take an extended
vacation and undergo rigid treatment in an
endeavor to regain my health. I consulted
several specialists, who treated my case for
months, but 1 must say that during the
past few weeks 1 nave received more benefit
from one bottle of Paine's celery compound
than from all the other medicines taken.
After taking it for a few days L could notice
the improvement in my condition. My
head did not trouble me as before, my
nerves were stronger, and my digestion,
which had been very poor before, began to
improve. 1 consider the compound to be a
very fine remedy, and will spread among
my congregation and other friends the re-
port of my experience with it,"
The words of these gentlemen should be
of the greatest value to all readers. They
show that even with the great and wearing
strains of life, health and strength can be
preserved by a constant use of the right aid.

Every seat in the lecture room of the
Westminster Presbyterian Church was
occupied last evening when a green social

ist. entertained the audience very pleas
antly, aud q banjo trio. consisting OF Miss
Isabelle Markham, first banjo; Master w.
LIE Gault Markham, second banjo, and
Miss Clara e. Jewell, third banjo, proved
yery entertaining. Miss Jacobs was
again called upon for a reading.
Then came the mock trial. A grand

than anything before known, and its pop
ularity is only natural.
What the New York clergymen say today
has been said time and again by equally as
prominent men elsewhere. The case of
Rev. c. J. Budlong of Rhode Island, who
was recently entirely cured of insomnia by
the use of Paine's celery compound is fresh
in the minds of newspaper readers, and the
following letter from Rev. j. q. Laird of
London, Ont, whose portrait is given
above, is of special interest:
"Raving received great benefit from the
use of paine's celery compound, it affords
pleasure to give my testimony in favor Of
