MUST PAY TO GO TO CHURCH.
81. Johns Will Charge Admission to
the Passion Sunday Music.

On every Sunday night in the year but
Passion Sunday. the services at st. Johns
Episcopal Church are free to all. On
Passion sunday a small admission is
charged. It falls this year on Sunday
next. The Rev. DR.. Stoddard explained
to a reporter for THE News why it is
that the usual custom is deviated from on
this day. He said
THE choir of this church always gives
a sacred recital or the evening of Passion
Sunday. On the evening of March 81,
therefore. there will be sung the Stabat
Mater, by Rossini, at the. close of a short
opening ermon This is given for the
benefit of the choir fund, and an Offering
of silver only Will be received. 1t is hoped
that the members of the morning con-
gregation will sustain and encourage the
choir both financially and by their pres
In former years no admission was
charged, but it was found hat so many
people came to hear the beautiful music
that the church would not hold them and
the present system was found advisable
to keep the number of the audience within
bounds.

terrible Tnrk 10 wr.stie Roeber.

Yousouf. the Terrible Turk, may be
fierce enough when in combat on the
wrestling mat, but ordinarily he is a quiet
and amiable giant, with a penchant for
sitting cross-legged, smoking cigarettes
and drinking black coffee. He speaks not
a word Of English, but when Pierrf. the
Greek. asks him what he would do in the
event of defeat, he solemnly replies in eff
feet that he would never dare to face the
Sultan again. and intimates that death
would be preferable to failure. The Turk
has fanatical faith in his invincibility,
and it is difficult to measure the probable
effect on him were he to be thrown by
Roeber. Yousouf's peculiarities in the
matter of training puzzle and astcnlsh
those familiar with the customary meth
DDS of athletes. The Turk spends most of
his time in sleep, and devotes his wax
ing hours to devouring pounds OF meat.
While massive and ponderouS he IS not
muscled like the average athlete, and ex-
perts are unable to understand how he
will bear the strain of a long contest.
His hackers insist that his marvellous
strength and agility will enable him to
handle Roeber like a child, and so formi-
dable and experienced a wrestler as Tom
Cannon who is the Turks chief adviser.
assert that Roeber mas not a living
chance. The champion and his friends
are somewhat in the dark as to the Turks
agility. but they insist he will have to
show himself a phenomenon to win over
Robbers science and skill. 1t is certainly
a bout in which the picking of a winner
is a difficult matter.

PROTECT ARLINGTON AVENUE.
citizen Complains That Heavy
trucks Are Destroying the Street.

Mr.. j. H. Gilmore of No. 1853 Arlington
avenue sent a letter to Mayor Hoos his
morning asking why the ordinance egu-
lating rattle on Arlington avenue was
not enforced. Mr.. Gilmore asserts that
last spring an effort was made to keep
heavy vehicles off the street. That spasm
of virtue lasted one month, he says, and
then the street became the regular drive
way for all heavy trucking between this
city, Greenville and Bergen Point. Mr..
Gilmore calls the Mayors attention to the
fact that when the question of improving
Arlington ayaenue was agitated a certain
official who, he says, wa particularly in
terested in the improvement declared that
if the street was paved heavy trucking
would be excluded.
Mr.. Gilmore g the Mayor to use his
influence in having the avenue protect
ed by securing the enforcement of the
heavy truck prohibition ordinance. May
or Hoos communicated with Chief of Po-
lice Murphy as soon as he received the
letter and asked him why the ordinance
was not being enforced. The Chief re-
piled thai he thought the ordinance was
being enforced. Ten arrests nave been
made for the violation of the ordinance.
Chief Murphy promised to have the ave-
nue. carefully patrolied.
