HENRY M,CALMoNT,s NEW YACHT.
She IL Called GiraIda, and Made Twenty.
one Knsts on Her Trial Trip.

Henry McCalmont, who. IL is said. will be as
ISOLATED with Lord Dunraven in the next cup
challenger, has just had a magnificent ], 00O-ton
steam yacht built for him which made twenty
one knots on her trial trip. 1t Is said she will
be entered in the Mediterranean ~regattas next
spring. where she is expected to sweep all before
her. The Yachting World, in describing Mr..
McCalmont's new yacht, says:
Long famous for producing things fast and
~palatial. both in yachts and mercantile marine.
the Fairfield Company has excelled itself in the
production OF Mr.. Henry McCalmont's Giralda.
Not quite, perhaps. so senselessly luxuriant as
the late Cars Livadia, the new steam yacht is
something to think about. or almost 1000 tons,
she Is fitted with everything that is useful in
the way OF engines apd electricity. and as she
steamed down the Clyde caused a sensation. her
enormous smokestack and three lofty pole masts
being remarkable. Last week she traversed tie
measured mile and got up a speed of 81 knots,
said to be one knot above that guaranteed. In
fact Giralda created a record. and this. too. at
the first time OF asking; consequently she will
go close on Lucania when she gets thoroughly
fabricated. The vessel returned TO her builders
on Friday, and was lying In the basin at Govan
on SATURDAY..
1000 tons; yacht measurement, with three pole
masts and q funnel of large dimensions, has
the highest class at Lloyd's. She has been sup
piled by the builders with twin-screw machin-
cry and Ave boilers. three, Of them double and
up in a most beautiful style. All the cabins are
done In white and gold, panelled all round with
a beautiful %cretonne in French design, and fn-
ished with a fancy gimp. The curtains are made
to match, and are trimmed with ball fringe and
looped with pale blue plush. while the frames of
the mirrors are covered and mounted In the
same blue silk plush. The floors are covered
with Victoria administer carpets, The saloon
velvet of two shade OF blue, finished with
Spanish gimp TO match; and the satin draperies
are of a pale pink, richly trimmed and finished
with fringe. The sofas are covered In saddle
bags. Rich Turkey carpets cover the floor of
saloon, stairs. and deck cabins. The deck saloon
windows are furnished with silk chenille cur
tains of blue ground and cream and terra Gotta

Pastor Mead's Former Congregation IN
West Hoboken Asserts Itself

The trouble in the congregation of st. Johns
Protestant Episcopal Church in West Hobo
ken, which eliminated In the resignation OF the
Rev. George N. Mead, the rector, as told in last
Saturdays Sun, was discussed at a meeting Of
the congregation held on Friday night. The OBJ
lection to Mr.. Mead is that his doctrines and
practices SAVIOR too much Of Romanism. At the
meeting on Friday night, called for the purpose
Of selecting a successor to Mr.. Mead, and also to
determine what style OF Episcopal doctrines the
new clergyman should profess-whether low,
high. or very high-the congregation was very
much divided. Some favored low, some high,
and some very high church doctrines. On one
point, however, the congregation was almost
unanimous. and that. was that the new rector
should not hear confessions, as Mr.. Mead mad
done. On the question one OF the members IL
reported to have said:
manish capers from the services In this church."
This declaration was warmly applauded by
the Others. The next object Of attack was the
altar. which had been presented to Mr.. Mead by
a former church over which he presided. Some
Of the member advocated its removal, and Mr..
Brett. of Demott street is credited with, having
urged that an axe be procured and the altar
destroyed. Mr.. Brett said that he and his fam
lily had absented themselves from the church
because OF Mr.. Mead's Objectionable doctrines,
but were willing to return IL this were rene
died. A number OF Others who. for the same
time, seconded Mr.. Brettrs remarks. Some OF
the women endeayored to have the altar re-
tanned and also high church services.
After IA lengthy and heated discussion. 1t was
decided that low church doctrines should be
preached in future. and that the altar be re-
moved and stored In the schoolroom until Mr..
Mead can be asked what disposition he wants
made of il.
IL was suggested that one OF the clergymen
connected with the Church Of the Holy limo
cents in Hoboken be engaged to conduct ser
vices until = successor to Mr.. Mead was secured.
This proposition was promptly sat upon, as 1t
was pointed out that the doctrines preached and
p~raclised in. that church are Identical with
those Of Mr.. Mead.
The pulpit will be occupied to-day by the Rev.
Henry Torrant, ID. D., Of Westheld, Mass, and
another meeting will be held next week, when
the situation will he further discussed.

Ian to the A~Imshosse.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. l.-Ex-Judge James Harlan,
q brother OF Justice Harlan OF the Supreme
Court. went to the almshouse to-day. He has
no home, and has become so addicted to drink
that no one will care for him. He hopes that
under restraint he may be able to cure himself.
Judge Harlan was once one OF the brightest
men who. practiced before the Kentucky bar.
He had an extensive practice In Frankfort,
where he lived for many years. About twenty
years ago he came 10 Louisville. He was re-
tanned By . large number Of litigants from time
10 time and made a great deal OF money, getting
in one case S25. 900.
He was elected Judge of the Law and Equity
Court. and held the tudgeship for one term. At
the expiration OF his term he resumed the
practice OF law, but his periodical sprees
lost him his clients. He went to New
Mexico and Texas, thinking that the change
of surroundings would aid him in conquering
his habit. After several years he returned 10
Louisville. He had very little money, and he
lived on old friends with the assistance OF his
brother. Al the money that lac could get he
spent in drink.
