ers printed announcing the various at
fractions which were to be offered at St.
Paul's, and he used the columns of the
newspapers, not to print merely regular
announcements in small type, but to an
nounce in big display lines his sermons
and lectures. He had signs painted on
the billbOards. One of these is an espe-
cially attractive one. It is picture of
the church. we'll drawn and artistica1ly
painted. On the side Of the church, in
letters Of yellow, red and blue, is the
notice that everybody is welcome at st.
Paul's.
The results of this liberal advertising
have been prompt. There were large
congregations at st. Paul's before, but
now the church ia crowded to the doors
at every service, and it is a common
occurrence for the ushers to hang out
the sign Standing room only half an
hour before services begin. The wealthy
Pensioners are there, but they are lost
in the crowd. Girls who wear last
years jackets and natures gloves, men
who wear ready made suits and women
who have left their babies with a neigh
Dor swell the throng.
Still Dr. Garfield keeps on advertis-
ing. He spreads his posters far and
near, buys space on the suburban trains
and acquires billboards in all sections
of the city. He employed DR.. J. J.
Lewis, a well known lecturer to deliv-
er popular lectures illustrated by the
stereOpticon. He started a free kinder
garten in the basement of the church,
which is attended by 100 children. He
has organized a girls sewing class of
200, which meets Saturday afternoon in
the chapel, and he has now on hand a
project for building a big parish house
III connection with the church, where
there will be accommodations for the
various classes, clubs and amusement
circles, as we'll as room for the dispen-
sary, gymnasium and other departments
which he is organizing.
To the kindergarten is to be added a
motherhood class. in which women will
be taught the science of maternity, phys
ical laws, sanitation, household econo-
my and home amusement and instruo-
ton of children. There is to be a class
in emergency instruction for cab driv-
ers, motormen, drug clerks, policemen
and others who are likely to be called
upon to help injured people.
In short, DR.. Garfield hopes to make
his church nothing less than a university
for applied Christianity. Dr.. Can
field was born in Cortland county, n.
Y, about 56 years ago. and at the age
of 81 was ordained a pastor in the
Universalist church. He has occupied
pulpits in various New England towns
and cities, including Boston, and his
last church was in Brooklyn. He has
been pastor Of st. Paul 8 for about six
years 6. ?. SCaENcK-

Since the declaration of the country
in favor of the maintenance of the gold
standard the movement for the retire
ment of the greenbacks, which was
started in 1893 and has been carried on
systematically both by the government
and the banks ever since, is assuming
more definite form.
The establishment OF the policy Of re-
deeming government paper in gold
alone was a part Of the general plan.
This policy having become fixed and
having received the endorsement of the
people at the recent election, it should
be no difficult matter TO prove to the
satisfaction Of the country that gold
cannot be kept in the treasury while
the greenbacks can be used for drawing
it out except by continually issuing
bonds.

bonds. what is to be dOne2 Retire the

people were fully warned long ago of
what might be expected if the present
financial policy Of the government were
permitted to proceed uninterruptedly to
its logical conclusion and they voted to
sustain that policy.

PIOUS ENTERPRISE.
DR.. Garfield Applies Business
Methods to the Pulpit.
He Advertisss st. PauPs Church, Chi
cago, on Bllboards-

Rev. A. J. Garfield, who has attract
ed a good deal Of attention and caused
much comment among his clerical
brothers by the novel methods which he
employs to advertise his church, is pas
tor Of st. Paul's, one Of the handsomest
churches on Prairie avenue, Chicago,
and his congregation comprises some Of
the wealthiest families il the city.
DR.. Garfield has surprised all Chi
cago by the bOldness Of his innovations
in church work Although there was
seldom any difficulty il filling the big
auditorium of the beautiful brownstone
edifce that stands in the most fashion
able quarter of the city, he was not sat
isfied with the work he was doing.
When he first took the pulpit, his audi
ences were composed of richly dressed
men and women, who came in carriages
and wore rustling silks and patent
feathers. Dr. Garfield wanted to reach
the people of the South Side. He an
nOunced that the church was free for
all, but the South Siders could not be-
lieve it. The magnificence Of the church
and the neighborhood awed them.
DR.. Garfield conferred with the elders
of the church. He told them of his aims
and asked them for advice. He urged
the practical business men who had
made fortunes for themselves and had
built up great business houses to tell
him what ought to be done to keep a
great church from becoming an ecelesi-
astioal fossil. They hardly knew what
advice to give him, they said.
"Well, p said Dr.. Garfield, turning to
one Of his elders who had made a million
out Of axle grease, ''how did you man
age to make your business a success?''
BY advertising, doctor; by adver-
tising. advertised 800 days in the
year.
Then why can't we advertise our
church and make a success of that toO?''
we can. That's the very thing to
do, - responded the elders.
This was what DR.. Garfield had in
mind, and he proceeded to put his the
CRY into practice. He did not do it in any
half way manner either. He advertised
his church and his sermons just as if he
had been advertising a department store
or q new patent medicine. He had post

Rev. Austin w. Mann, General Missionary
to Deaf HIutes.
The first deaf mute to be ordained in
the Protestant Episcopal church west of
the AlIeghanies and the second to take
holy orders since the beginning of the
Christian church is the Rev Austin "
Mann. who is the general missionary
for the Midwestern Deaf Mute mission.
Before taking up mission work Mr..
Mann was employed as a teacher in the
Michigan School For Deaf Mutes, at
Flint. Recognizing that the thousands
of persons who are afflicted as he is are
isolated from the ordinary means of
worship and religious instruction, he
began, in the winter of 1878, to spread
the gospel by means of the sign Ian
guage. Since then he has he'd a busy
and happy life and has held services
in nearly every big city in the Union.
He adopted the prayer book system Of
the Episcopal church as the one best
adapted to the use of the deaf mutes.
He was regularly ordained as a minister

Many Thousands of Bushels of Apples

Boston. Nov. 1.-THE poor people Of
Boston have never received a more well

ers have sent to them so generously. The
poor and sick and aged. beside children
have been the recipients. Six thousand
bushels have been distributed to date at
cost of nearly cents a bushel This is
the cost of carriage and distribution to

work been done that the public has not

Ward of Detroit. Her father was at one
time reckoned the richest man in Mich
igan. He sent his daughter abroad TO be
educated She learned to speak five Ian
Ruages and to spend money like water.
Although she was strikingly beauti-
full and is yet, for that matter, it was
undou btedly her money which attracted
the prince, for he comes from family
Of fortune hunters. His father was at
that time minister of foreign affairs and
prime minister of Belgium. The we'd
ding was a brilliant affair, and for a
few months this young princess contin-
ued to dazzle the Belgian court with
her beauty and vivacity. Then the
princes father died, and he was made
head of the family. The young couple
took possession of the Chimay chateau
in the province of Hainault. near Mons.
1t was made respectable by a liberal
outlay of the Ward thousands, and for
awhile the domestic peace of the Chi
may household was not badly distur bed
But this did not last long. The prince
is a good looking, typical Belgian. with
no ambition beyond day hunting and
a good dinner. He is very apt to be stu
pid or else sound asleep after 9 o'clock
in the evening. The princess. on the
other hand, possesses the llvellest kind
of disposition. She left her sleepy hus-
band at the table and sought diversion
in court society, where she was often
seen surrounded by a mob of oourtiers
and diplomats of various nationaities,
exchanging with each witticisms III his
mother tongue and enjoying herself
hugely.
But her sparkling wit and free
American ways did not suit the old
grand DANES of the Belgian court at all,
and it is probable that the somnolent
prince has been stirred up TO get a sepa-
ration from his brilliant young wife.
They have two children.

these missions and holds services in
them as frequently as possible That he

fruitful field which has been sadly neg

which have attended his labors. He has
