The different religious beliefs are well
represented in Mr.. McKinley's official fam

The President, himself, is u devout and
regular attendant at church. Every Sun
day morning VIII find him in his pew at
the Foundry NJ e. Church, corner of Four
teenth ana G streets, the same church he
attended while in Congress.
Rev. Oliver Brown is the present pastor
ofthischurch, but Will probably be changed,
according to the rules of the Methodist
church, by the conference, now in session
at Baltimore. The board of trustees have
made unanimous request of the confer
ence that the Rev. Lucien Clark, d. D.,
be appointed in his stead. DR.. Clark has

the Metropolitan NJ. L. Church, corner of
Four and-a-half and streets, this morn

dent Grant during his term of office, and
the pulpit will be occupied by the pastor
thenin charge, Bishop John p. Newman.
Bishop Newman was close friend of
Gen. Grant and preached the funeral Gu
logy over his body.
Bishop Ncwmanis 5 now located n omaha,
and attracted wide attention by the ac-
tive part he took II favor of Mr. Mckinley
in the last campaign. 1t is by the special
invitation OF DR.. Hugh Johnston, the pastor
of the church, that Bishop Newman will
occupy the pulpit today, and / is as a COM
plinent to his friend ana adniirer that Mr..
Mckinley attends this church upon his first
Sunday rs President.
1t is rum oTed that the White House car
rage viii Eos be used on Sunday during
the present administration. IL this Is
the case, the President will either have TO
walk o church or take the street car. If
lie does the former, he viii he the first
President since Lincoln to attend church
in this democratic manner.
Mrs. Mckinley viii pI obably net attend
| church today, as she is too much fatigued
| from the trying week she has Just passed,

home, porng over books and papers.

| Treasury, announced yesterday that he
would prayerfully read his Bible at
| home today. Mr.. Gage attended the
| Central Unitarian Church in Chicago. Nj
| Gage has not decided yet what church
he will attend during his stay in the
city, but as there is only one Unitarian
church. the All Souls, corner Fourteenth
and l. streets northwest, it is likely that

his daughter, will attend the All Soul:
Church this morning, and all the time
| during his stay here.
