OLDEST OF CHURCHES.
st. Andrews Has That Distinction
in Greater New York.

Tho oopgregation of ST. Andrews s
Protestant Episcopal Church, OF Rlch-
mond Staten Island, is the Oldest IN
Greater New York, for it can trace q
continuous unbroken organization Tor
236 years. After public services had
been conducted regularly for forty
eight years the parish was granted
charter by Queen Anne in 11O9.
The founders of the congregation
came to Staten Island with the Hugue-
nots that accompanied the Dutch Dl-
rector Minuit, in 1924, and 'worshiped
with them for some years, or until they
removed to Wahle Bocht, since cor
rupted into Wallabout.
In 1o75 a little church was erected
near where the Fresh Kills bridge now
stands, and it's ruins are remembered
by persons yet living. At that time
the Rev. John Miller, who had visited
Staten Island. wrote: There is a
meeting-house at Richmond, Staten ISL
and, of which DR.. Bonrepos is the min
lister. There are forty English, forty
four Dutch and thirty-six French fam
! ilies."
These English families were the ones
from whom is descended the present

| blood was transmitted, not only to the
| laity but to the clergy of the parish.
for DR.. Charming Moore, for a long
time it's faithful pastor and afterward
Bishop of Virginia, married into one
of those original families, and his son,
DR.. David Moore, succeeded him in the
rectorship.
AS many of the Huguenote departed
for more southerly locations, their SER
vices were discontinued, and the re-
manning ones joined with the Church of
England people, who held regular
weekly worship, with a clergyman,
when one could be had, and when not,
the service was read by layman.
This organization was continued un-
til December 13, 1909, when the parish
became a legal body under a charter
of that date granted by Queen Anne.
When the charter arrived, with it
came the gift of a silver communion
service from the sovereign consisting
of chalice and paten, each engraved
with the words, "Anne-Regina. These
pieces are still a part of the parish's
altar service, and are used regularly
at the celebration of the sacrament.
In June, 1t12, came a grant of valua-
bic lands on Staten Island to the parish
from Queen Anne, and in the following
year the first church was built, under
the direction of the Rev. Eneas Nc
Kenzie, rector of the parish. This
building was destroyed by fire.
The records of this old parish were
we'll preserved until about thirty years
ago, when a difference arose in the YES
try as to the ownership of certain
lands. which one faction claimed was
included in the grant to the parish and
the other said was not, when the rec
ords disappeared. Since then a portion
Oh them returned. by some person un-
known to the present rector, Dr. Thorn
as S. Yocum. The oldest entry they
present reads, under date of August Q,
1852: Daniel Penny, son of Charles
Penny and Dorothy his wife, baptised"
The original grant to the parish is
also in DR.. Yocums possession, but
where the other records are remains
mystery.-New York Herald.

contest, sincerity of effort and the high
est degree of honest competition.
The summer racing athletic season is
now fairly open, and contests between
men of the wheel will now be fire.
quent and Of deep interest in cycling
circles for the next four months upon
this coast, and as more tracks are con-
structed the number and frequency of
the contest will increase, and notably in
Sacramento, where is now located one
of the fastest tracks in the world.
Among the crack riders of the
professional class is Otto Zieg-
ler Jr, a California develop
ment, who is widely known in Amer
lea and Europe, and whom thousands
flock to see in his notable speed con-
tests. He came into prominence on
the track Of the State Agricultural So
ciety in this city a few years ago by
winning his first two races against the
best wheelmen in California
AT that time Mr. Ziegler also made a
record that astonished the cycling
world, but which he has since greatly
bettered. Next at San Francisco he de-
feated the crack riders of the State,
and in 1894 at the great National
League meet at Denver he met the
champion riders of the nation and sim
ply played with them, winning all but
one, of the championships splendidly.
He rode in the mile championship
against such men as Bald, Sanger,
Cooper, Johnson and Mcdonald, and
literally rode them off their feet" as
wheelmen put it.
In 1895 Ziegler spent the entire season
ait the East and took rank fifth among
American champions Last year he
did the same thing as a team mate to
Bald, and finished sixth in the list, and
earned outside of his salary $4,000 in

A GILT-EDGE GAME.

The local enthusiasts will have a

Club play next Sunday. Although the
Gilt Edges are Sacramento's crack
baseball players, they have not played a
game on the home grounds this season.
and Sundays game with the Lodis will
be their initial appearance.
The players are all well-known Sac
ramento boys, and need no introduction
to the home audiences. Jay Hughes,
their twirler, is undoubtedly the best
pitcher in the State, and his fine work
this season has brought him more than
one tempting offer from abroad.
The Lodi club played here a few weeks
ago, and played a fine game with the
Corkers. They are all good players,
and we'll capable of giving the cham
pion Gilt Edges a good game.

THE HUBER CASE.
A Remarkable Occurrence Detailed in
Graphic Words.

PORT HURON. Nov. 29.-"The case of young Ellis

tested what Dodd's Kidney Pills wi do, and they
are a wonderful medicine"
Said city drusgst, speaking Of this case
"There IL no town that can produce a more re-
markable cure than this. IL a veritabe resur-
rection, due solely and entirely to Dodd Kidney
Pills. am not at all surprised at the tremendous
sales We are having, nor at the great difficulty we
find In keeping them IN stock"
The druggists know that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the most reliable medicine before the people, 1t ID
proved every day in every drug store in the city.
No other medicine sells in such enormous quanti-
ties, because no other medicine will cure kidney
diseases. This Dodds Kidney Pills do without fail,
hence their great popularity. There il no doubt
about their effect. They have cured every case of
Brights disease, diabetes paralysis heart disease,
aud every other kidney disease for which they have
been used.
