j.. B. Ferry, organist of st. Peters Ro-
man Catholic Church, at Grand and Van
Worst streets. Jersey City, met his death
last night in a tragic manner. He had
been rehearsing the children of the Sun
day school for the Christmas service of
song. After the rehearsal, which ended
shortly after 8 o'clock, Mr.. Ferry walked
to Warren and Montgomery streets, with
some Of the children. While standing on
the corner, waiting for a car he was sud
denly seized with a violent hemorrhage
and fell to the ground.
Patrolman Heath and several citizens
rushed to the assistance of the sick man.
They thought at first he had merely slip
ped on the ice. When they reached him,
however, they saw that blood was pour
ing from his mouth. He was put into the
patrol wagon of the First precinct sta
ton, which started to the City Hospital.
Before the wagon could reach the hospi-
tai Mr.. Ferry died. His body was taken
to Speer's morgue. He lived at No. "A
Montrose avenue. He was forty-five years
old and had been organist at st. Peters
for a number of years.

OHCRCH-GOING IN ICELAND.

Back-Country Folk Who Travel Many
Miles to Divine Worship.
Jessie Ackerman. in the fourth OF her
articles on Three Wome in Iceland III
the January Woman's Home Companion,
tells how she attended a country church
in the northern part of the island
The Sabbath day was iull of interest,
for we had not attended service in the
rural districts. In the early morning we
betook ourselves to the front of the house
to watch the country folk assemble. -lh
the distance we saw them fording the
river in long line, and in the other dlrec-
tlon men, women and children rode slowiy
over the mountains down to the farm.
Nv hat the sabbath day means to these
people lew can realize. Some OF them
never see face besides those OF the mem
bers of the family from one church
day until the other. What wonder, then,
tnat they began to assemb bic fully two
hours before church time! A peculiar
form of salutation prevails outside OF the
cities. With this We had not yet been
made familiar, and our astonishment can
we'll be imagine when we saw the men
dlsmount, embrace and kiss each other. l
learned later that this is the only form OF
salutation among men in the inland dis
tricts.
The hour of service arrived, and, in
company with the preacher, who wore a
high hat, loose, flowing gown buttoned
from chin to hem, and great white Eliza
beth ruff around his neck, we entered the
church. From the back seat we had full
view of the congregation, and, not being
familiar with the Language, the time was
passed in meditation on the situation.
In the pulpit the pastor was assisted
into long. white robe, which fell over
the black one, and down his back hung
large surplce of bright velvet, upon which
golden cross was wrought. On the altar
two great candles about yard long and
three inches thick shed dim light.
These were the especial charge of an offl-
cial who gave out the hymns, and between
times snuffed the candles with an old
time pair of 'snuffers.' After church the
worshipers dispersed and many OF them
did not reach their homes until night"

But they are not marble" said one
who knew all about the builders sha m s.
"They are not evtn stone. The hlgnly
polished columns are made OF iron anu
decorated to initiate marble"
''But he surface feels like stone, ana
not at all like metal"
1T is not metal nor is it stone, was the
experts reply. "Over the surface OF the
iron column there is coailng, the chief
ingredient of which is powdered marble:
This coating is several inches thick and
becomes solid. homogeneous mass. sus-
ceptible to the highest polish; and when
it has been rubbed down and painted its
general appearance Will deceive most
people"
In the same building there are cornices
and panels which seem to the casual OBJ
server masterpieces OF the carver's art, but
the garlands and groups of fruits and
flowers which appear TO be stone and ivory
and oIshed wood are only plaster or pre-
pared paper pulp coated with colors which
aid in the work OF deception. Ceilings
which represent great areas of carved and
chiseled stone are only plaster, and the
fuIed columns surmounted by highly or

WARDROBE OF AN EMPEROR.
Kaiser Williams Is Probably the Most
Extensive in the World.

Kaiser Williams Is Probably the Most
kxtensive in the World.
1t is not easy for the average person to
form an idea of the dimensions of the
wardrobe of him of Germany. Some sort
of the list OF his possessions in this respect
has recently been made out, and from
this it appears that, to begin with, his
Majesty possesses uniform of every regi-
ment in the Prussian army. with the he'll
NETS, caps, epaulets, swords etc., en-
suite. Over and above this, the EN- peror
being the head of an endless number OF
regiments in Bavaria, Wurtemb burg, Sax
ony. Baden and Hesse. a complete uni
form of each of these hangs in his clothes
presses. But this is not all. Two rooms
at the palace in Berlin are entirely filled
with uniforms of the regiments in Austria,
Sweden, England, Italy and other coun-
tries which "5eiong to- William IL. To
these must be added the uniforms of the
ad trails of the British and the Swedish
fleets.
As for the clothes which the Emperor
wears when he is not en- grande tenue,
these also are bewildering in number.
There are the ordinary suits for the m oTn-
cold seasons; the hunting suits and uni
forms, which latter the Emperor has in
trod uced for the use of himself and his
courtiers; the uniforms of the English
and German yacht clubs, lawn tennis
clubs, etc. To each suit belong special |
hats, gloves, cravars anu canes. The En-
! peror's body linen is, again, especially
| made to "go with" the various suits OF
clothes, and there are whole packing eases
full OF the pins, rings, studs, etc.
The keeper of this private museum" 2"
| who is, as rule, superannuated valet,
has under him a number Of men we'll
versed in the art of the needle. These do
what little mending there is to be done,
in the way of sewing on buttons, braids
and ornaments. But though his Ma jesty
has so extensive a wardrobe he is most
| parsmonious concerning it, and the uni
forms specially are treated with great con-
sideration. New collars and cuffs are
| added three or four times to the ordinary
| uniforms before q coat is "done with" and
not an article OF clothing is ever wasted.
The German and other foreign orders in
the Emperor's possession are estim ated al
$4,000, and when the "traveling EN-.
peror" goes abroad there are among his
luggage some iron cases containing selec-
tion of orders representing the sum o1
3000.-Westminster Budget.

formed the Public Imperial Library at
st. Petersburg of the precious discovery,
but its means were too limited TO perm u
Its keepers to entertain the thonght OF
buying the treasure Then the Russian
EN- bassador, NJ de Nelidoff, applied to
the Grand Duke Constantine Constantine
vich, president of the Imperial Academy
OF Science, with the request that he Would
draw the attention of the Car to the rare
manuscript, ana i'm m ediately after orders
were given to buy it for his Majesty.
1t is an interesting fact that there was
talk for some time in the spring of pre-
ssnting the Sa.mazachy Gospel to the
Emperor as coronation gift. 1t is writ
ten in letters OF silver, in two columns OF
sixteen lines, on finely wrought red parch-
ment OF slightly violet tinge. Only the
words God" and "Jesus Christ" and the
titles OF the various sections are written in
letters of gold. Unfortunately, in the
course of centuries more tnan half of the
precious leaves have been lost. 1t is writ
ten on 182 leaves, which now rest in a
book cover made in 1920. The Russian
Archaeological Institute in Constanti-
nopIe examined it, and found that it
forms an important part of the famous
Purple Gospel which T'schendorf desig-
mated as Purple Codex n, and of which
only forty-five leaves have hitherto been
known. Six of them are in the Vati-
can Library, two in Vienns. four III Lon
don and tnirty-three in the Convent of
John the Divine in the island of Patmos.
1t was further ascertained that many
leaves were wanting, even so long ago as
the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. The
above. mentioned leaves found their way
to the Vatican and to Vienna in the seven.
teenth century. :
The complete manuscript must have con
sisted of forty.nine stitched parts of ten
sheets each. Very few ma cuscripts on pur-
pie parchment have come down to our
time. 1t is, therefore, easy to understand
how highly they are valued, and the Sar-
mazachy Gospel Is also especially i'm port
ant in textual and Pathological respects.
The very high importance attached to the
Purple Code1 in Europe is clear from the
fact Uf from no other) that the Vatican
Library presented Leo XIII, with SIX
splendidly mounted leaves of it on his
jubilee day. The Sarmazachy Gospel is
veneI ated by the population of Anatolia as
sacred thing, and before it was sent to
the Russian embassy at Constan tinople
large mum bers of the inha bltants went to
show their reverence for it for the last
time.-London Standard.

sent to the German Hospital. He could
breathe only with great difficulty, and
with greater difficulty was the thinnest
kind OF nourishment administered to him.
DR.. Morse, surgeon cf the hospital, recog-
nized a subject for his special care.
AS Bay ha entered the Office of the Aims
house yesterday IN response to the call of
q visitor he presented the appearance de.
scribed-that of a young man who might
be convaIescing from a week or two's i'll
ness rather than one who had, in his at
tempt at suicide, nearly cut his head off
When spoken to he placed the forefnger
0! his right hand to his throat, under a
scarf he wore about his neck, before re-
plying. The finger had covered the end
of tube that carried air to his lungs and
open, wonld have prevented him from
speaking. He has worn that tu be for
nearly two years since the operation in
the hospital and has become entirely ac-
customed to il. The wound in the neck
has quite healed. A silver socket is held
in place by string around the neck and
through this the tube connects with the
windpipe, it being possible by this means
to remove the tube at will.
But this is not the most remarka BILE
thing about Mr.. Bayha. The tube in the
throat interferes with his eating, and for
long time made it impossible. For the
purpose of giving him nourishment,
therefore, another tube was inserted
directly through his side into his stomach.
To this was attached a rubber hose about
foot and half in length. For a long
time after the operation Mr.. Bay has food
was administered to him through this
tube directly into the stomach. For some
months past he has found it unnecessary
to use this, however, as tie conditions at
his throat have SO improved that he can
take semi-liquid food through the natural
channel.
Unable to work, Bayha has spent most
of his time lately at the Almshouse. He
is an interesting subject for medical stu
dents, and is in frequent demand at
clinics. He says that he hopes to be able
to get rid OF the stomach tube, and if so
declares his ability to earn his own liyin,
He has entirely recovered from his de.
spondency, and, handicapped as he is,
feels disposed TO live as long as he may.

THE OLDEST ENGLISH PAPER.
IT Is the Eondon 'Gazette"-Publishe
FIRST in 1865.

First In 1860.
The Oldest English newspaper Is, though
few neople know it, the London Gazette,
which was, on its first publication on No
yemb ber IA. 1865. known as the Oxford Ga
zette from the fact of the Parliament sit
ting at Oxford. This name was changed,
on February s. 1868. TO the present one.
But though the London Gazette contains
some items of much interest TO certain
people. such as those who have received
t.honors" at the hands of royalty, or tEose
whose bankruptcies are announced, IL Is
not newspaper in the usual sense OF the
term; that is, as being read generaily oy
the public.
The honor of being the oldest newspaper
of this class in the British Isles, and hence
probably in the world, may be unhesltat-
lngly awarded to Berrow's worcester
Journal, which made its appearance IN
1890, ten years before the beginning OF the
eighteenth century. 1t has always had a
wide circulation among the higher classes
of it's district, and is to-day as vigorous as
ever. But when it first came out 1T was
not under its present name, and this fac
tor is of Importance in considering ITS
claim to the premier honors OF the journal
istic world.
Perhaps we ought to award the palm OF
being the doyen of English journals to the
Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury
still published weekly at Stamford, Ihls
paper, has now, as ever, truly great cir.
culation and an enormous influence in the
Eastern Mid and District. Its title is ex-
actIv the same to-day as it was on the day
it was first published ia years ago. Hence
this important factor should almost assign
to it the first place among extant news
papers.
There is in the Leicester Museum copy
of the 1719 issue consisting of four pages
deni quarto, its style that OF the old
ne ws letter. In July, 1856, its circulation
had become $4,000 week, the highest at
that lime of any paper ort Of London. Its
price was then twopence, but is now
penny with circulation of 25, 900 weekly.

are constantly going on in the physical
condition of the earth's crust, but these
changes are so slowly accomplished that
