Dr.. Stoddard to Have the
Opening Meeting in This
City at St. johns
Next Sunday.
CONGREGATION SURPRISED
Origin and Methods of The Or
ganizatiOn- Meeting for
Women.

The Rev. E. L. Stoddard created sen.
sation in st. Johns Church yesterday by
announcing that the service on next Sun
day evening will be given over to the
church Army. an organization similar to
the salvation Army. This will be a de-
cloed innovation at st. Johns, which is
the wealthiest and most fashionable Epis-
copal church in the city.
Inc announcement came as a complete
surprise to the members of the congre-
cation, as Dr.. Stoddard has always been
an advocate of the quieter forms OF
worship adopted by the established
church. and has been opposed to; the
noisy methods adopted by the Salvation
Army. The Church Army is organized
on the lines laid down by General Booth
for the government of the Salvation
Army. and its rules provide that a dis
tinctive uniform of black trimmed with
gilt braid be worn by its officers, and
that brass instruments be employed as q
means of reaching the people
In announcing the meeting DR.. Stoddard
said:-'The service on next Sunday even
ing will be given over to representatives
OF the Church Army. 1 know very little
about this movement, and as I want to
become better acquainted with it l have
invited General. Hadley and several of
MS aides. including Miss Wray, to adj
dress US next Sunday and explain its
methods. The Army was started in Eng
land to do work such as the Salvation
Army is doing, but without the bass

ments, as the Salvation Army does. 1t

ACCIDENT TO A OYCLIsT.

Y'inrNyE a Eat6ar.


Men started repairing about twenty
bad spots in the asphalt on York street
last Saturday afternoon, between Greene
and Van Worst streets, which are more
than likely due to the heavy trucking.
The men when they had finished about
four O'Clock in the afternoon, laid two
small railroad ties about five feet apart
SO that the trucks and bicycles could not
spoil the newly fixed spots. Now when
asphalt is laid it takes just about one
hour to become as solid as a rock, and
instead of removing the ties in about that
time they were left lying until about half
past nine, without any lamps or signals

Vice-Chancellor Pitney set free an
ether ill-assorted pair today. This was
Mr. and Mrs. John Renk, of No. LIS
Summit avenue, Jersey City.
At a dance in a well known ball room
on the Heights, away back in 1881, John
Renk, a well-to-do cigarmaker, fell des-
perately in love with Fraulein Hedwig
Raddetz, a stately brunette, and one with
whom all the susceptible young men OF
that district were over head ears in love
She yielded to his entreaties to wed and
scon they were Mr.. and Mrs. John Renk.
Two children were born of the marriage,
and the home, so the neighbors said, and
surely. they who know everything ought
to be authorities, was very happy one
until one evening when Mr. Renk did not
return from his cigar factory at the
usual time. He kept from home all that

home.
Mrs. Renk made a search for him, and
az last ran him down in Williamsburgh

she said, was enamoured of some other
Gretchen. He wouldn't return he said,
and he would see his wife in particular

now she has supported herself and her
children, both daughters, with her needle.
and judging from her appearance in

The trial will probably continue for two

turned traitor TO his party for the sole
purpose OF downing the Despatch" It
