spots in the lower part of the city where
the bones of the colonial fathers have been
allowed to rest undisturbcd for nearly two
centuries.
The New Yorker of today has sincere
affection for old Trinity, no matter what
his creed or faith. Its graceful, tapering
spire, rising above the quaint Gothic arches,
makes grateful break in the monotony
of flat walled barracks of commerce in
which is housed the commercial army of
the metropolis. 1t is to him u landmark
made dear by associations indirectly con.
nected with his daily life. He probably
does not attend worship there and may
not even know the creed of its congrega-
ton. 1t is merely one of the few relics
which remind him of the age of the mu-
nicipality, and its very rarity enhances its
value.
The New Yorker of century ago and
less looked upon Trinity with very differ
ent eyes To him it was a relic of Toryism
and he gave it his hearty dislike Years
have wiped out this prejudice however,
and the fact that Trinity church parish
was founded by charter granted by King
George is seldom remembered.
The great wealth of Trinity parish, va
riously estimated at from 500, 600, 600 to
$500, 600, 600, is due principally TO a royal
grant of tract of land known to this day
as the Kings farm. When it was given
to Trinity, it was located far north of the
city, but today it is in the very heart of
the down town business district. The plot
Of ground upon which Trinity church itself
stands is worth something like $40 600, 600.
Besides this Trinity corporation, which
represents the business committee of the
parish owns hundreds of city lots on
which stand stores, warehouses, dwellings
and tenements. As landlord it has one
of the largest rent rolls 10 be found any
where in the country.
Trinity has many uses for its vast in
come, however. 1t pays its rector an an
nual salary of Sl2 900 and provides him
with fine city residence. Several assist
ant rectors draw salaries of So 900 each
Then Trinity supports number of chapcls
and Is churches, besides numerous mis-
sions, parish schools, "a system of industrial
schools, an infirmary and several free hos
pital beds
Rev. DR. Morgan Dix, the distinguished
divine who is at the head of this rich par
ish, has been connected with Trinity for
nearly 80 years. He is son of John A.
Dix, the famous governor of New York and
the same major general who gave that
memorable command, IF any man at
tempts to haul down the American flag
Ehoot him ON the spot"
The Rev. DR. Dix was born in New
York city in 1927 and was graduated at
Columbia college. He studied law for
awhile, but then entered the ministry and
became assistant rector of st. Marks
church in Philadelphia. He was made as
sistant rector of Trinity in 1858 and be-
same rector in 1869. He is a strong, Wig
Orous talker and Knickerbocker society
has not yet forgotten the sensational Eas-
ter sermon which he preached eight years
ago in which he fearlessly named and de-
nounced the sins which fashionable folk,
such us sat under him, had been used to
wink at. He has done some important
literary work and has been active in pro-
noting sisterhoods. CHARLES WARNER.

SECOND CENTENNIAL.
DID TRINITY CHURCH TO CELEBRATE
AN INTERESTING ANNIVERSARY.

The Richest and Most Powerful Parish In
the United States Plans For an Impos-
ing Celebration Under the Direction of
DIR. Dix.
Trinity church, New York, mother of
the Protestant Episcopal church in Ameri-
ca, will be 200 years old this spring, and
ON May 2 will be begun celebration
which is to mark the bicentennial ami
versary of the founding of the parish.
AS Trinity is one of the richest and most
powerful as well as one of the oldest par
ishes in the United States the observance
of such an important epoch in its history
will be one of unusual interest. The Rev.
DR.. Morgan Dix, who for so many years
has been rector of the church, has general
charge of the arrangement of the pro-
gramme, but he is being aided by num-
Der of committees. The celebration will
call to New York body of most distin.
guished divines. Bishops by the dozen
and any number of lesser ecclesiastical
lights will be there, and it is even expected
that the Church of England will send
representative, perhaps no less q one than
the archbishop of Canterbury.
The celebration will begin on Sunday,
DIR. Dix will be read in Trinity church
and in each of the chaTcls of the parish.
From each pulpit also will be delivered
sermon on the biccntenaIy by the rector OF
vicar The anniversary day proper will be
Wednesday, May ., and on that day d spe-
cial service will be held in Trinity church,
and Bishop Potter, who has postponed
trip to Europe in order to be present, will
deliver the salutatOry address.
On the other days of the week special
services will be held and addresses will be
made by prominent divines. Elaborate
preparations have been made to furnish a
feast of sacred music, and the mother
church as well as each of its several chapels
will be suitably decorated A pamphlet,
finely illustrated and containing the off.
cial programme of the celebration, which
will be valuable souvenir, will be issued.
Trinity church itself is one of the most
interesting buildings in New York, and
its history is closely associated with the
early history of Manhattan Island. From
its site on lower Broadway it looks out
upon the busiest portion of that thorough.

where the financial tide flows and Gibbs

country and Hawaii is reciprocal In name only ana
that all the advantages arising under IL are en-
joyei by Hawaii. or rather the foreigners resident
there. At the present time the balance between
the United States and Hawaii Is S.V"VU per
annum and no effort is made by the Hawaiian
Government to encourage more trading with the
United States. On the contrary, everything that
Is done tends to the encouragement or trace WIFI
other countries-notably Canada Germany ana Eils-
land. They have even withdrawn the SUBSIDY lor-
merly paid to the Ocean Steamship company al
American line which has done more to develop tne
islands than any other transportation company;
The statement that the American shipping engaged
in this traffic has a valuation OF slS,0NVn Is uh-
true. The Custom House records show that tng
value Of all vessels carrying between this port ana
Hawaii will not exceed 100000
IF we continue the treaty II will ne equivalent 10

THE TARIFF BILL DELAYED.
DEMOCRATS OF THE FINANCE COMMIT
TEE DEMAND MORE TIME.

1T Is FEARED BY SOME OF TIE REPUBLICANS
THAT THE MEASURE CANNOT BECOME
LAW BEFORE AUGUST l.
Washington. April 21-The Democratic MEM
bers of the Senate Finance Committee to-day
followed up their refusal of yesterday to allow
the Tariff bill to be reported direct TO the Sem
ate with the annou lcement that they would en-
pect an opportunity for a thorough examination
OF all the schedules of the bill as amended be-
fore 1t Is reported to the Senate. They have
already employed one expert and will employ
others to take up the bill as soon as It Is pre-
sented to them. They expect to be able to ex-
anime the bill sufficiently to permit IT to 90 to
the Senate in about two weeks after they re-
ceve It.
There has been some talk among the Demo-
cratic Senators of granting hearings by the full
committee but this proposition does not appear
to have met with general favor. The Demo-
cratic members of the committee fear that in
eistence upon this course would be construed
into C. determination to delay the bill for the
sake Of delay. which, they insist, is no part OF
their programme.
The decision of the Democratic members may
cause the presentation OF the bill TO be post
poned beyond Thursday. Some Of the Republl-
can committeeman now say that they may not
finish their work before Monday morning as
there are still various matters not definitely
decided, and which II is necessary to FIX aoso-
lutely before going into the full committee

senting the bill on Thursday. but are less nope
