WHY CHURCHES ARE SOLD.
Congregations Move Away and Finan
cial Support is Lost.

For some time past notices have been
published announcing the sale of a
brick and stone church and brick Sun
day school building on Second avenue.
near East Tenth street, under foreclo-
sure, with encumbrances of about S96,-
800. The holders of the mortgage and
plaintiff in the foreclosure suit is the
New York City Baptist Mission society,
and the defendants the Tabernacle Bap-
fist church. The sale has again been
announced for today, and the result will
be found in the real estate columns.
A reporter of the Mail and Express
called at the office of the society to
ascertain why the mortgage had been
foreclosed. The answer given was that
the congregation does not or cannot
pay either the interest or principal of
the money loaned on the church prop
erty, which covers plot of land over
100 feet square. When asked why this
should be so, the answer given was that
the lower part of Second avenue today
is not what it was when the church
was built; that the then residents who
had supported the church, had either
died Or moved away, and the present
residents were not able to continue that
support. When the church was built
it was expected that Second avenue
would be one of the principal avenues
of the city, and many wealthy citizens
erected fine houses upon it, some Of
which can be seen today: but the fash
ionabie street became Fifth avenue.
After awhile those who had erected the
buildings died and their descendants
moved away. Thus the props were
taken away from the church, and it
became involved in debt from which
u is thought there is no Immediate
prospect of relief except by a sale of
the property.-NeW York Mail and Ex-
press.

notice. 1t is almost unique in the length

ing success of career longer than most

Editor Abram Thomson's service in the

Of Ohio or his participation in public
affairs on many occasions, to justify his
title to honorable distinction. It is not
even needful to call attention to the fact
that he was the virtual discoverer of the
Delaware grape and made it famous,
for which good deed a multitude of fruit
eaters owe him a debt of everlasting
gratitude.

STRANGE SIGHTS IN THE STREET.

When 1 was in the country last sum
mer, mother used to send me - Elm
Lane for cream.
In Elm Lane were three big elm trees
and three little houses. The first little
house was yellow, the second was blue
and the last was red. The milk woman
lived in the red house. She had a green
field behind the house, and in the green
field was Z white COW, who ate grass
all day. Under shed were the bright
est little cans and pans you ever saw;
l could not believe they were not pure
silver. The little milk woman always
wore a bright dress and a white apron
and very queer, high straw hat when
she came out Of her house, and she had
the funniest cat without any tail. One
day she saw me looking at the cat.
You're wondering how she lost her
! tail?'' she said. "AIl the little girls
wonder that. Well, my dear, never a
bit of tail did she have. l brought her
a kitten over the ocean, and she's very
old now, and the reason she has no tail
is because she comes from the Isle of
able; not cat there has one. A Manx
cat they call her; we're Manx folk, me
and my husband America is a fine
place, but we'll go home one day, please
God, and take Kitty, if she's still alive. -
When I had been to get cream I al
ways felt as if things in my chip box
had grown up, the house and the milk

the things in the toy village. But all
the houses in the lane were like that
In the yellow house porch sat little
old lady, and something hummed like
a bee all the time. One day l looked
that way, and the old lady called to
me:
Little girl, you may come here" she
said.
So I went up the step and she said:
How are you, my dear?"
Very well. ma'am. How are you?"

MEXICO'S NEW BOAT.
Warship Now Being Built for Her at
New Orleans.

A reporter went UP to Walnut street
to see the boat that is being built there
for he Mexican navy. 1t is the first
boat that this government has had con-
structed in the United States, and II
the experiment is a success other boats
will probably be built.
Lieutenant Othon P. Blanco of the
Mexican navy happened to be on the
grounds at the time, and he told all
about the making Of the boat and its
use III Mexican waters. The contract
was awarded about two months ago to
oliver the craft to the Mexican govern
meni. within i've pCnths. The binder
decided to patroniZe home institutio IS,
so he purchased his material from the
local firms.
The boat has cypress ribs; will be-
planked on the bottom and sides with
cypress three and four inches thick;
will have PINK parking between the
decks and will be finished in oak. The
length is s. feet by "a feet beam by II
feet depth, and the CTaught Will be z12
feet. When completed the total height
will be "a feet. The heavy armament
will consist of two guns, one in the
bow, the other in the stern. These ana
the small guns will be placed aboard
the boat after it has been delivered 10
the Mexican government and is in
Mexican waters. The cost will be So
900.
Lieutenant BIanco, III speaking about
the boat, said that it would be used on
the coast of Yucatan and mostly in the
CheturnaI Bay. Into this bay flow
many rivers, from which much ma
hogany is RATED. Formerly the w
catan Indians oWneI all the land about
the head of these small, shallow

! rerty. By this actor the Yucatan IN

j dams continue TO cut the timber,

stop to the business.

TEACHING BY PHONOGRAPH.
Clever Scheme of a New York Professor
of Languages.

Many novel projects have been de-
vised in the way of language teaching
but never until just lately has the phon-
Ograph been made part of the outfit of
the linguistic professor. 1t is difficult
at first to see how this instrument can
help along teaching of any kind, but
thereon hangs the tale. The man who
has adapted the phonograph to this pro-
fession is R. D. COrtina, and he has been
SO successful that already he has sent
over 500 machines, all loaded with Lis
instruction and primed with his voice.
Until the phonograph was applied to
languages it was necessary for anyone
wishing to study a foreign tongue to
sit literally at the feet of the master
and learn the pronunciation and the &C
cent from his very lips. Books might
be poured ever and language partially
learned in that way, but the voice of
the teacher had to be heard. The idea
! came several years ago to Mr.. Cortina
hat through the photograph he could
practically duplicate himself in every
corner Of the civilized world.

twenty loaded cylinders and twenty
blank ones. Each lesson in the book is
arranged in the form of questions and
answers. The pupil, ready to begin,

starts the photograph.

their proper, accent, just as if the pro-
fessor stood at his side. There is an adj

iliar to the pupil.
Then, having thoroughly learned these
sentences. he puts one Of the unused
cylinders in the machine and repeats
the lessen. In little paper box the
cylinder goes back to New York, and a
his earliest opportunity Mr.. Cortins
pops it into his own machine.
At his side is the stenographer. A:

SIXTY-TWO YEARS AN EDITOR.
When Abram Thomson Retired He
Left His Sons Priceless Legacy.

Abram Thomson has just retired from
the editorship Of the Delaware Gazette.
His sons succeed him in the control Of
that sound, upright, and well-managed
journal. 1t is the first change in the
editors chair for siXty-two years!
The veteran who lays down the office
he has filled so long and well seeks re-
lief from daily labor at the age Of 81
years. He was born in Maryland, close
to the PENNSYLVANIA line, in October,
1914. In his native village of fancy
town he learned the rudiments Of the
printers trade. His training in that
craft was completed in Frederick, the
capital of Maryland, and by two years
of service in the office Of the New York
Daily Courier and Enquirer. In the fall
of 1884 the young printer went to Della
ware, in this state, to join his uncle in
| the ownership and management Of the
paper which has been known as the
! Delaware Gazette ever since. In about
/ two years Mr.. Thomson, who had been
editor from the first, bought out the
half interest in the establishment, which
was at first in other hands, and thence
forth he has both owned and edited one
of the best papers in Ohio.
