AMONG TIL CHURCHES.
Episcopal

At last the Church Army has a clerical
head. This organization is similar to the
Salvation Army in make up, but unlike it
in method. 1t employs army titles and
uniforms, but substitutes the Episcopal
liturgy for general evangelical services.
1t was under the Parochial Missions So
ciety for a time, but on account of some
small trouble was dropped by it. Next a
commission took it in charge, but finally
that commission permitted itself to ex-
pire by limitation, and for some weeks
there was no responsible head. An offer
was mad to the Rev. DR.. William S.
Douglass of New Haven, Conn, to be-
come its clerical head, but he declined.
The old commission, consisting of the Rev.
Chapel. Trinity parish; the Rev. Dr.. e.
Walpole Warren, rector of ST. James
Church, New York, ard the Rev. DR.. W.
M. Hughes of Morristown, N. j., lave
now ~reorganized the commission. and
agreed each to serve by turns as clerical
head. The general in command, Henry II.
Hadley, is to be strictly under
close and constant orders from the clerical
authority. The most active work of the
army has been accomplished in New
Haven, but there have been posts estab-
lished in Boston and Pittsburg.
The entertaiament given by st; Mar

a great success and d large sum of
money was realized, which will go to-
wards the tower fund.
Rector Percival Pyle of the Grace P. E.
Church, Pearsall and Ocean avenues,

and was introduced for the first time a
week ago Sunday, under the direction of
Organist p. Richter, aud III spite of the
fact that only a few rehearsals nave
been had by the boys the choir stands

Louis Fichtenbaum, of No. II Adams

C. A. officer Mcdonald for one of the
worst cases of cruelty that the society
has had to deal with in months. Fichten-
baum is a dealer in poultry. He was on
his way to Washington Market with a
wagon load of geese yesterday afternoon
when Mcdonald stopped him. The Off

condition of the geese. Examination

Mcdonald arrested Fi~chtenbaum, who
protested, saying: Whats the differ

The geese were taken to the s. P. c. A.
shelter. 1t was found that 106 of them
had been crowded into our crates, each

birds were so cramped and badly cut up

plea of poverty, Justice Van Buren, re-
duced his fine to $40.

TRENTON, Jan. %, 1SsS.-Dr. Henry
Mitchell, Secretary of the State Board Of
Health, has submitted his annual report
for 1897 to the Governor. II report con-
tains the vital statistics of the State only
UP until June 80, 1897, and shows that the
total number of deaths which occurred in
the State during the year ending at that
date was 29, S22. The estimated population
of the State is !, 764, 1874, thu giving an an
nual death rate OF 1890 per LOCO. This is
the lowest death rate in the State since
1889.
The report shows that the number Of
deaths from ten chief preventable dis
eases was 9,427, as folIows:-Consumption,
1927; diarrhoeal diseases of children, $3.50;
diphtheria and Group, 1882; typhoid fever,

a03; measles, 1876; material fever, 132; cry
sipelas, 6S. From the other chief prevent

diarrhoeal diseases of children outnumber
all others; but the report says that the
board believes that many deaths wnlch
are directly due to tuberculosis infection
are recorded in this group.

the Secretary says:-"This disease caused
3,237 deaths during the year, which IS III
less than during the previous year, and

a steady reduction in the death rate from
all of the tuberculosis affections will at
tend the rapid extension of public infor-
nation concerning the methods by wnlch
these diseases are conveyed, and when

spread of this disease are being made py
health boards in several of the cities OF

efforts shall extend. Much evidence has
been collected showing that early recos-

Its MISUNDERSTANDING the
Churches,

The Ladies' Catholic Circle of st. Bird
gets Church is now enjoying a second
year of prosperity since its organization,
two years ago. The organization is pure
ly of a social character. Its object is to
raise funds to assist the pastor of the
church in carrying out church work. This
it has succeeded in doing in a great meas
ure during the two years of its existence.
Within six months after it organized with
fifteen members it furnished the sanctu-
airy of the church with a handsome car
pet at a cost of $500. 1t now has a mem
bership of ~thirty-four. That number is
the limit. The society has raised consid-
cradle money since its existence, and has
thus materially aided the pastor in the
prosecution of his church work. 1t the
big church fair held in November last
its booth stood next highest in amount
of money raised. Its reception, held in
st. Bridget's Hall. on Friday evening,
January q. was one of the most largely
attended social events ever held in St.
Michaers Hall.

treasurer. MIS- 1OSSGIOCi SCI "oo =

The circle has a very handsomely fur
nished room on the third floor of St.
Bridget's Hall. 1t is handsomely carpeted
and is furnished with a piano, lace cur
tains, tables and chairs. The circle is
arranging to hold a progressive euehre
party in st. Bridget's Hall for the bene-
fit of the church some time before ASH

Joseph Weigel Loses a Quantity of
Goods and Suspects Former Employees
One more burglary was added to the
large list in this city Wednesday night,
when the tailor shop of Joseph Weigel, at
No. 707 Ocean avenue, Greenville, was
broken into and a large quantity of new
clothes stolen. Weigel reported the rob-
berry to the police of the ocean avenue
station about eight O'Clock Thursday
morning. The police, on investigating,
found tina entrance had been gained by
breaking a window in the rear of the shop
and by turning the latch. A quantity of
old clothes were found, which the thieves
exchanged for good ones. The Weigel
family attended the ball of the Lembeck
& Betz employees on the Wednesday night
in question. While there Weigel recog-
nized two tailors who had formerly
worked Cor him, but whom he discharged
about three weeks ago for lack of work.
Both the tailors left the ball about eleven
o'clock, but nothing was thought of the
early departure of the men until Weigel
discovered that his place had been robbed,
when he opened up the next morning.
Among the old clothes was found a pair
of checked trousers, which Weigel recog-
nized as those worn by one of the men
who formerly worked for him, and which
were worn by the tailor on the night of
the ball. The police have the names of
both the men and hope to capture them
shortly. The police say there is no doubt
that both of Weigers former employees
were the thieves, and that seeing the Wei
gel family at the ball and the house un-
guarded they realized what a good chance
they had, to rob the place which they did.

POPE LEO AT HOME.
An American Womanss Audience
with the Venerable Pnntfff.

The strong interest which attaches it
self to Pope Leo and to the Vatican
makes especially readable "a Private Au-
dience With the Pope" in the February
Ladies' Home Journal" 1t is from the
pen of Inez Merrill, In American woman,
and is cleverly descriptive. A the Pope
entered the room all present knelt," she
says, and goes on to explain: eve had no
definite idea of the etiquette of the occa-
sion, so we proceeded as we thought best.
He came to our party almost at once, and
addressed me first. He speaks French to
the general public; to priests he speaks
Latin.
.+six priests kept close to the Pope as he
moved about the room. One of them was
an interpreter, who supplied the missing
links in the compensation if necessary, in
order, l suppose, to make the occasion
less tedious to the Pope. However, the
Holy Father spoke distinctly and slowly,
and in spite of the excitement of the mo-
ment we were able to understand all THAI
he said.

feeble, with that pallor peculiar to age
his eyes are black and shining, but Wlthal

On his head he wore the small skull cap

trusively around among his guests. On
his hands he wore mitts of white WOOL
