ALL SOULS OFNO SECT.
Free in Letter as Well as Spirit Since
it Has Paid Off an Indebtedness.

Chicago, Oct. All Souls church is
now free from all connection with the
Unitarian denomination. For three years
it has been free in spirit. This week it
became free in letter by paying off a big
obligation to the American Unitarian as
sociation.
A. H. Hanson, chairman of the board
of trustees, has just received the receipt
for check of s4.O36 sent to the society
in payment of the debt. Though inde-
pendent in spirit. it was considered Il
matter of honor not to break connection
with the Unitarian denomination until
every cent of the debt had Jeen paid.
The church will now branch out and be
known simply as All Souls church, the
name itself being significant of the broad,
liberal spirit of the congregation.
The pastor, Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones,
says there is no antagonism to existing
denomination in All Souls declaration of

INSANE IN DANGER.
Buildings at Peoria Are Constructed
Over an Abandoned Coal Mine.

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 9.-Dr- Wines, sec
retary of the state board of public chari-
ties, has received a copy of the report
made by Dankmar Adler and General
William Sooy Smith on the location of
the state asylum for the incuSable insane
at Peoria. The asylum is located over an
abandoned coal mine, and the questions
have arisen whether SO much of the
building as has already been erected
IS liable to be destroyed in case the mine
should cave in, and whether it will be
safe to erect the additions contemplated.
The general conclusion of the commits
sion is that the ground underlying the
existing building and its proposed extern
sion appears to be safe, but that there is
a possibility of danger to the ground
both east and west of said building.
The engineers in a supplemental recon-
mendation call attention to the fact that
the means of communication between the
upper and lower stories in that portion
of the asylum already built are made
quate and dangerous and that the means
of --nting and airing the corridors are
also Inadequate.

BILL JoYCE,s BONUS.
He Gets an Extra Thousand for Land
ing the Giants Third.

New York, Oct. 9.-When Captain
Bill Joyce of St.LOuis, who guards third
base for the Giants and shapes their
destiny as commander, received his fin
al stipend for this seasons work he
was pleasantly surprised to find in his
envelope a bonus of 81. O00 The club
took this means of showing it's appre-
citation of Joyce's services and general
ship in landing the Giants in third
place. Speaking of the matter today,
President Freeman said:
Yes, it is true I gave Captain Joyce
81. 900 extra because we finished in third
place. I think it was worth it. Some
time has elapsed since New York was
so we'll up in the first division, and the
man who was sufficiently competent to
put the Giants there is deserving of
extra money. Captain Joyce has given
the greatest satisfaction. He has play
ed his position as we'll as he could, and
better than that, he has conducted the
playing end of the team in an able
manner. We have made some money.
How much?~ Oh, well, enough to pay
for the trouble and worry of trying to
win the championship, and we believe
in doing justice where it is most de-
served. Joyce is going to manage the
team next year. and he will make it a
championship factor

Real Estate Values In New York.

miles from the City Hall! Very much
farther away than this stands the new
Herald" building, where Broadway
and Sixth avenue intersect. In 1s45 the
city owned Its site, and sold 1t for 3d.
$50. The Herald" now pays rent for 1t
for the land alone-at the rate Of $780,
600 a year. At the same sale fifty
years ago a corner lot on Fifth avenue
and Forty-second street brought ST.
400, and In 1S40 four hundred lots on
Fifth avenue above Twentieth street
were sold at prices ranging from $500
to $4OO. Within twenty years some Of
these were resold for $4,000 each, and
you may guess their present worth for
yourselves, remembering that business
and business values have now moved
into this region also.
Less than twenty years ago q much
more northerly district, between Fifty
ninth and One Hundred and Tenth
streets, west of Eighth avenue, would
have shown you little but rocks and
puddles and predatory goats and boys.
Now much more than half its surface Is
covered with buildings, all Of very
GOOD class, and their estimated cost has
been S170, 100000. Land UP here Is
more precious than was land two miles
from the City Hall in the days Of Philip
Hone. And it Is just as easy now as
then to grow greatly richer in New
York If you are already rich enough to
buy little bits of its soil and to hold on
to them for little while.

Regarding q "Closes Shave.

"What makes my face so dry and
dusty?" asked a man in one OF the
chairs at the hotel barber shop.
"You shave too close" replied the
barber. "You get down under the
skin and irritate it.
"Well, I have to shave close. 1
don't want to bother with shaving
every day, so I get shave every
other day, and then get a good, close
one."
ssThere's no need of that" replied
the barber. "There isn't SO much diff.
ference between single going.over
and a very close shave. After the
razor has been over your face once you
can still feel fine stubble. BYa sec.
ond or third scrsping you can get the
face feeling perfectly smooth, but in
three hours time the beard has grown
out to where it was after the first 60
ing.over. What I mean is that you
save only about three hours by getting
what we call "close" shave, and for
a man who shaves every other day,
that isn't much of an advantage. Be-
sides, it irritates the face and is liable
to make the skin hard and scaly. a
man who shaves himself simply goes
over his face once, but in barber
shop the customer thinks he is not
getting the worth of his money unless
the barber scrspes for about ten min"
utes to get rid of that extra three
hours growth of beard. Chicago
