Is WANT IT A FREE oHURoD
South Rergen Reforrned ParishfoI

south Bergen Reformed Rartsh1On-
erssObject to Renting the Pews.
The South Bergen Reformed Church will
not in future be a free church, as it has
1been heretofore, and this has caused some
discontentment among the members of the
congregation. The church has always been
supported by the envelope system and out
side collections. The expenses of the new
building will be very heavy, especially as
there is a S20,Q00 mortgage on it. The consis-
tory met last Monday evening to consider bow
these expenses can be best met. They de
cided that the surest way would be to rent
the church-or rather the pews-and do
away with the envelope SYSTEM On Sunday
lastthe pastor announced that those wishing
to select pews could stay after the prayer
meeting on Wednesday night and do SO. In
the meantime the consistory had mapped the
church out and divided it and ar
pranged the prices of the various sections
4 to meetthe requirements 1.-THE treasury.
They valued the seats at from $25 to 500
year according to location. As nothing had
been said about buying seats the people were
surprised last night to learn that they will
have to do so. The congregation isTnQt a
wealthy one, although there are a few
wealthy men in it, and it hits some of them
rather hard to think that they who have
struggled and4 denied themselves in
pay from s25 to 800 year for the privil-
ege of procuring seat in it. If they can
afford to give that much, and many of them
can't, they would rather do it through the
weekly envelope system. There will be a
meeting on next w Wednesday evening to de-
eide whether the pews shall be rented, or
whether it shall be supported in the more
popular way, through the envelope
system. The pastor of the church
was interviewed by NEWS
reporter this morning on the
subject. He said:-'I think that the system
of renting the pews will be the best for this
reason: there are number of people who,
while they don't belong to this church, like
to come here occasionally and when they do
come they like to know that they can have
some place to sit that they can call their
own, as it were. These people are willing to
always have reserved for them, and occupy
or NOT as thew choose

IMPROVING A BULGARIAN TOWN.

No European town has been more con-
picuously improved in recent years than
Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. A series
of splendid boulevards has been cut through
the mass af old narrow streets and Turkish
houses, one encircling the city, while others
run across it in various directions, and q
still more spacious avenue, 197 feet wide, and
set with six rows of trees, leads from the
ceutre of the town to the railway station,
while another, called the Boulevard Stambu-
loft, runs from the same point to the new
park. This park is very large, and is said
to be well planted. A great public garden
has also been formed in the middle of the
town, with smaller gardens at various points,
and a nursery, covering hundred acres, has
been ertablished in the suburbs, where
plants will be grown for the public grounds,
and viii also be sold to private purchasers

INSURANCE AGENTS DOWNFALL
Fast Living Causes Newark Man
To Disappear.

oPtCtut u tftC OCfhcB CuU 4sCttos
NEWARK, March /, 1894.-Sidnev P. Lof-
tus, a well known fire insurance agent has
been missing from this city since Tuesday
last and his whereabouts are unknown. The
reason for his disappearance is said to be a
shortage in his accounts. Mr.. LOTUS was
the agent in this city for the Phoenix Fire
Insurance Company of London, the Orient
Fire Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn,
and the st. Paul Fire Insurance Company of
Minneapolis He had an Office at No. TIA
BroM street.
The shortage of the companies amounts to
about $4,000 as follows:-Phoenix about
81 200; Orient about 81 900; st Paul about
$1,000. The American Fire Insurance Com
pany and the Pennsylvania Insurance Com
pany, both of Philadelphia, are losers to the
extent of about 5000 each. Both of these
companies withdrew their agencies from Mr..
LOTUS the first of this year, it is understood,
because he refused to give bonds.
Charles d. Watkins, General Adjuster OF
the Phoenix Insurance Company, was in
this city yesterday and went over LOTUS
books to ascertain the exact loss Of his com
pany Gambling and fast living are alleged
to be the cause Of Mr.. LOTUS downfall.
