AFTER REV. DIR. DIXON.
Brooklyn Congregation Wants the Penn
Avenue Baptist Trustees to Release
Him from His Acceptance.

An effort will be made by the First
Eastern District Baptist congregation
of Brooklyn to get he Penn Avenue
Baptist chrch to withdraw its call to
Rev. DR.. Joseph X. Dixon to become
the pastor of the church. Yesterday s
New York Recorder contained the fol-
lowing:
A meeting of the congregation of the
First Il. ID. Baptist church of Brooklyn.
was held on Friday evening, and there
was q discussion as to whethc; or not a
committee should go to Scranton, Pa,
and ask the congregation IF the Penn
Avenue Baptist church to release the Rev.
Dr. Joseph X. Dixon from the acceptance
of the call. so that he might become tho
permanent pastor of the First Baptist
church, where he has been acting since the
death of the Rev. DR.. ID. G.. Eddy.
There was u decided opposition by some
of the congregation to the sending of the
committee.
1t was finally decided that the commit
tee should go to Scranton and ask the
trustees of the Penn Avenue church to
delay putting the call into effect until two
months hence. by which time many Of
the congregation of the First Baptist
church, W no are now In the country, will
have returned, and the matter can be dis
cussed again.

THOSE WRANGLING
CHURCH FACTIONS
Pastors of Two Churches Secure Police
Protection.
NO TROUBLE, HOWEVER. OCCURRED
Bishop O'Hara Visits Father Aust's
Church and Warns the Congre cation
to Desist from Its Warning or Suffer
tho Closing Up of the Church..Thc
Greek Church Also Expected Some
Bother.

Two different South Side pastors
conducted services yesterday under po-
lice protection, the one Rev. Richard
Aust, pastor OF the Polish Catholic
church on Prospect avenue, the other,
Rev. Nicephor Shanath, pastor of the
Greek Catholic church. corner of Irving
avenue and Hickory street. In neither
case, however, did the anticipated trou
BILE occur.
At Father Aust's church it was ex-
pected that the trouble which has been
going on there for the last two months
would reach a climax. The faction op-
posed to Father Aust threatened dur
ing the week to forcibly assume charge
of the church on Sunday. They had
membership books printed and pro-
posed to make the collections them
selves instead of allowing the regular
ushers to do so. This. 1t was feared,
would precipitate hostilities and to pre-
vent any such scandal Father Aust
made a requisition for police protec-
ton.
OFFICERS ON THE SCENE.
Six officers under charge Of Licuten-
ant Zang were at the church during
tiic "Hoic iSouy " tdhc d
hand in any trouble that might brew.
Their services, however, were not need
ed, not the slightest outbreak occurring.
Bishop O'Hara attended the late mass
and gave the congregation to UNDER
stand that II their conduct was not
better he would close up the church and
leave them without any pastor at all.
1t is thought that the Bishops warning
will have the effect of compelling the
two factions to adjust their differences.
On Friday night last there was Il very
noisy clash between the opposing fac
tions and 1t is said warrants were is
sued for about 20 of the disturbers. Had
they caused any further trouble yester-
day these warrants would have been
served.
AT THE GREEK CHURCH.
Up at the Greek Catholic church some-
what the same kind of difficulty exists
The pastor has a number of boilers to
contend with and they have of late been
threatening to do dire things.
That nothing Of a Gcandalous nature
might occur on the Sabbath, the pastor
asked that police be detailed at the
church Sunday morning. Patrolman
Dominick Boland was accordingly sent
there and remained until the services
were over. AS in the other case noth-
ing occurred to disturb the peace.

two weeks ago and which was some

was resumed, was renewed Saturday
when the coal began to work with In

The working was accompanied by

out.
The effects of the cave are visible

Saturday when his mother received
letter from him asking her to send
him some money to an address in this

Asylum, upon learning of Harvey's
whereabouts telephoned to the police in
this city to look out for him. The doc

as he weighed 25O pounds. Upon re-

Under a general ordinance, powers
would be given to property owners on
any block TO undertake the work them
selves, ad make their own contract,
subject, however, to compliance with
the conditions and provisions OF such
ordinance, which would specify the
standard of asphalt, brick. stone block
or cobble pave. Under such an ordin-
and the work could be sanctioned by the
permits from the mayor and street COM
missioner and the work supervised and
passed upon by the city engineer.
All responsibility for the payment

Ner.paper File. Under Guard.

A complete file Of each OF the newspa-
pers that have been published in Chicago
since the fire-in fact, moro complete than
Is to be found in many OF the newspaper
offices--is one of the features OF the Chioa-
90 Public library When the editors of the
various newspapers are appealed to In re-
gard to articles that have appeared in their
papers, they, with one accord, refer the
applicant 20 the Public library. In add
tion TO persons so referred, there are q
large number of people, who knowing Of
these files, are constantly wanting either
the whole or portion Of the articles they
have read, but failed to preserve. Many
Of these requests are for articles Of very
recent date, and the area from which they
come is only limited by the circulation of
the Chicago papers, together with such pa
pers as make excerpts from them.
There is probably nothing in the library
that Is the source Of more request than
these files Of Chicago newspapers, and
there is certainly nothing more closely
guarded. This latter fact accounts for the
file in the Public library being more per
feet than are many of those in the offices
where the paper Is published. IL Is not
quite easy Co understand why a person
who would not think Of tearing page
from q book will ruthlessly mutilate a
new spaper file that Is far more valuable
But the fact remains, and for this reason
the newspaper files nc the Public library
are constantly guarded. No one is per-
mltted Co examine them save under the
surveillance of the guard. Chicago Trib-

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE.
An Important Part Played by Carbonis
Acid. Water and Ammonia


Acid, Water and Ammonia.
What do we know of lifeY Carbonic
acid, water and ammonia, when taken
into "A plant, produce In some way proto-
plasm, which is substance composed OF
minute corpuscles, and inside each cor
puscle there is smaller body called nu-
cleus. BY taking in carbonic acid, water
and ammonia and converting them into
this compound, called protein, the plant
maintains It's vigor, grows and multiplies.
The animal does the same by taking in the
same compound, with this difference
that, whereas the plant can manufacture
protoplasm out of inorganic matter, the
animal is Obliged To procure il ready made
from the plants. The same indicated mass
of protoplasm that is the unit Of plant life
is the unit of animal life The body and
the plant are multiples of such units, vari-
ously modified, but in their composition
identical.
When the animal dies, the carbonic acid
the water and the ammonia of his body are
restored to the collective stock. Again
they are taken into new plants, and
through new plants into new animals.
Thus protoplasm is the basis Of all life.
1t Is built up of ordinary matter. and IL Is
resolved again into ordinary matter.
Plants can make protoplasm out of Its
component parts; animals can convert life
less into living protoplasm. This is the
only difference between a man and plant
a. regards their making. How all this is
done we have not the remotost notion. All
that we know is that it is done. Remove
the carbon, the oxygen, the hydrogen and
the nitrogen, which form carbonic acid,
water and ammonia from the globe, and
all vitality, whether animal or vegetable,
would disappear from il. When brought
together under certain conditions, they
| give rise to protoplasm and this protoplasm
produces all the phenomena of life.-Lon-
don Truth.
