Schmidt's store for provisions almost
daily. Schmidt always waited on her,
and she alleges that he made protesta-

she first met him. on May u, 1882, she
said he made his first promise to marry

CAPPED And GOWNED
Lady Choristers Will Be
Vested at the Reopening
of st. Johns Church.
BISHOP sTARKEY PERMITS IT
Rev. Dr.. stoddard Is Not Intro
ducing Ritualism- Choral
Arrangements.
BISHOP sfARKEY PERMITS IT

There's not young lady in the choir
of St. Johns Free Church on Summit
avenue who is not looking forward to
the opening of the church on the last
Sunday of this month with the most de-
licious feelings of excitement. The Rec
tor, Rev. E. L. Stoddard, DID, has con-
stalls in all the glories OF cap and a
surplice. VOLTA tout.
Properly described, it is not surplice,
but white cape, and the cap is not a
mortar board but natty, dainty, chic,
fascinating and utterly irresistible little
piece of millinery made of black velvet.
There are many reasons why this change
has been ordered. but principally Dr.
Stoddard thinks it would look better,
since the stalls in the church stand out
in the chancel, than a small forest of
nodding plumes from the variegated and
of course beautiful headdresses of the
ladies of the choir. The black veivet
cap will be unique and more in keeping
with the surroundings. So. too, with the
white cape; it will prevent the destruc..
ton caused by. the charming gowns of
the fair ehoristers. There'll be no eyeing
of clothes but closing of eyes, now.
NO HIGH CHURCH IN THIS.
This Innovation Is moi. IS many I'LL
aeille a step towards rtualism. On the
contrary, il is a distinguishing mark of
the low church. In St. Bartholomew $
and ST. Georges Churches, in New York
City the ladies of the choir are similarly
attired, while in English churches, where
there are composite choirs, it is the
rule invariably to see the choristers in
cap and surplice.
Dr.. Stoddard contemplated the change,
started another story that Bishop Starkey
was unalterably opposed to robing women
in the choir and the church calamity
howlers confidently predicted that the
Bishop would put his foot down on the
movement as he did in the case of
Christ Church, Arlington avenue. when

HARMONY IN SIGHT.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 1S94.-The fourth
day of Senator Hills visit to this city
found the situation as regards the har-
mony which the Democratic nominee
for Governor is trying to effect, progress
ing favorably. While Mr.. Hill would ma
turally make no definite statement as TO
the progress of his plans, it was, never
theless admitted by those close to him
that the political atmosphere was much
clearer than it has been hitherto. That
the Senator's efforts have been up TO

was endorsed by Tammany would re-

organizations.
But the fact as regarded as a mere
incident by the politicians which have
come to make the Normandie Hotel
sort of headquarters since Senator Hill
arrived there.
What they considered of far more. i'm

" made, that the Administration would
