ST. LAWRENCE STREET CHURCH.
Building-sIo,5 500 More Needed Before
July LIST.

Rev. Mr.. Wright made the cheering
statement to his congregation Yesterday
that he had received during the week
subscriptions amounting to nearly $500
to the new chur oh building fund. A
$1,000 subscription was received from a
member of the Second Parish church.
one OF $500 from member of State
street church, and a 5000 subscription
from a member of the Williston church.
Another member of the State street
church had previously subscribed $500.
The first two subscriptions here men,
toned, were given on the condition that
the whole amount needed $25, 600 be raised
for the edifioe. The $1,000 subscription
ID also conditional upon the structure
being built of brick. The subscription
for the new church edifce now amounts
TO Sl4, 600 and are all conditioned on the
commencement of the work of the build
ing by July l, 1896. 1t will be seen that
the st. Lawrence street parish have on
hand the hard task of raising $40, 500
additional before July 1.
Believing in the Importance of the
enterprise the building committee have
undertaken to accomplish this task
Deeply grateful tor the generous aid al
ready granted they are encouraged with
a strong hope of success and will con.
tinue to appeal to our citizens for assis-
tance.

ETHICS OF LIFE.
DR.. ID. C. Dement'S Lecture at williams
Hall.

1t is very seldom that an audience will
sit an hour and half and listen to any
lecturer with closer attention and more
evident interest than that assembled at
Williams Hall did Saturday night. The
lecture is entirely original. 1t does not
tread a. beaten path, but leads through the
fresh grass, flowers aud sunshine Of a
new field. It is optimistio and healthy,
and there is nothing in it that the most
liberal or the most bigoted can reason
ably object to. What the doctor says OF
great ethical and metaphysical teachers,
ancient and modern, does not challenge
dissent, but shows how each has oontri
buted to the cause of good morals aud
consequent happiness. What he says Of
the treatment, by medioority, of the
great leaders who have championed the
causes of good morals and intellectual
progress as the foundation of right living
AMI happiness as illustrated by the per-
solutions of Socrates, Phidias and Jesus,
is both pathetic and eloquent, and is a
great rhetorical presentation of an old
topic. The lecture is full of interesting
points treated in new and original
manner which holds the attention Of the
listener to the end. The subject, "Ethios
of Life" is true to its name, and no
more healthful, cheering and logical dis
course can be made upon subject of
supremacy vital Importance to both the
individual and society.

New York Times.
Mrs. Cleveland's frequent social ap-
pearences lately have shown 4 " clear
ly that the strong FASCINATION which her
presence always eNerted among women
has not lessened one jot. She is the
most Interesting woman in this country
today In not only every possible way,
blu particularly in the fact that people
tire of looking at her. No one was
evei yet heard to say that he had been
able To watch her quite us long as he
would have liked. y great many peo-
pie now know her intimately and are
able to see her frequently; but for the
great majority. to whom this Intimacy
is denied. he only opportunities come
with the important functions at the
white house.
AT Mrs. Cleveland's tea last Saturday,
perhaps LOCO women mad the pleasure OF
shaking hands with her. and, at the
same time, enjoying a little chat. IT
would have been hard TO find II wom-

joyment, did not find some point from
which she could stand and feast her

even looking at her, as everybody re-
residence in the white house.
IN evening dress Mrs. Cleveland is the
nandsomest woman today in Washing
ton. h has a beautiful neck and well
shoulders, and, with the
sparkle of her Jewels, makes a picture
of a white house mistress that is sill, iply
regal.
Ruth and Esther and baby Marian are
miniatures Of their mother. The two
elder girls love to get a glimpse at the
grand daylight doings in their home,
and to do it have to peer through the
Ealusters of the big stairway. which is
their tower of observation. They can
talk German with their franlein with
the greatest ease.
Mrs. Cleveland is seen o the street
occasionally walking in the mornings or
driving around among the shops. She
Is the most devoted of mothers, and is
I've away from the children at night.
This has done away with the little shop
ping Jaunts to New York which used to
give her so much pleasure during her
ilrst residence here. When Lent comes
she will be able to devote pretty much
an or her time to the little people, and
that is precisely what she likes.
All last month Mrs. Cleveland has
been receiving Monday afternoons at 5
o'clock. The occasions are made very
pleasant for the friends who drop in.
Some young ladies preside at the tea
table, and II a noted singer or performer
happens to be mons the guests, OF a.
friend with musical ability. there is
singing or playing of a most delightful
character.
