Interesting Facts About st. Mary
Church ON Hoboken Avenue.


The Rev. DR.. Warren, of st. Mary's
avenue, yesterday preached a sermon
commemorative of the tenth anniversary
of his rectorship of the parish. He gave
an interesting history of the church and
parish from the date of his rectorship.

by ~ex-Judge Marcus Beach. DR.. Warren
purchased it in November, 1885. A 10000
mortgage rested upon it. The building
stands upon land owned by the Erie Rail-
road Company and must soon come down.,
along with other buildings in the vicinity,
to make room for improvements in cons
nection with the elevation of the Erie
tracks below the Hill, and a new church
will have to be built. Six thousand dol
lars of the $4,000 mortgage on the build
ing has been wiped out. DR.. Warren held
October IA, 1898. when he conveyed 1t, sub
ject to the mortgage, to the vestry OF st.
Mary's parish.
The doctor yesterday gave the follow
ing interesting statistics concerning the
church and parish, since he assumed the
pastorate. From forty families 1T had
grown to one hundre and fifty families.
The communicates numbered 465. Dur
ing his passionate 2,46O public services had
been held in the church. There had been
1893 combinations, 1858 baptisns. 100 mar
riages and 2S burials. Holy Communion
had been celebrated $50 times. The Rev.
Doctor said hat the ritual had been sim
ply that of good manners in the church.
He highly compTimented the various So
cieties connected with the church and the
church choir.

FATHER CARROLL AT HOME
He Celebrates Mass and
breaches in ST. Patrick's

The Rev. Father L. NJ. C.. Carroll of ST.
Patrick's Catholic Church, celebrated the
six O'Clock mass yesterday morning, thus
being his first mass since his return from
Germany, where he spent two months
building up his health. Father Carroll
occupied the pulpit at the ether services,
but Father Talon said the masses. The
worthy rector of ST. Patrick's Church
talked very Interestingly to his parish
toner's yesterday morning, and the vast
congregation appreciated 1t very much.
He told them that he was glad to be back
among his flock once again, and was very
much pleased with the way the parish
work had been carried on in his absence
He complimented those who were in
charge of the garden party recently CIV
en- in Bramhall Park, and told them he
was proud of them for their successful
work.
II nave returned in the best of health,'

greatly benefited by my trip abroad
He told the congregation the welcome
news that in a few weeks he would begin
the work of erecting a parish school and
clubhouse, "a duty which l was sent here
to Ill., he said.
Father Carroll then explained to the
congregation how the building would be
erected, and asked their aid in construct
ing it.
The members of st. Patrick's Catholic
Club are perhaps the most pleased OF any
about the Homecoming of their pastor,
and accordingly they will tender him q
reception. at the club house. on next Fri

evening of the day he arrived, but he was
too busy attending to the parish work.
The announcement that the work on the

THE "sun" also can blunder when It
tries hard. In the column which It de-
votes to answers TO inquiries from its
readers, yesterday, II fell into a grievous
error. 1t stated that the difference be-
tween an attorney and a counsellor-at-iaw
in New Jersey was in name only. The
difference is much more. A man in this
State must be a practising attorney three
years before he can become a counsellor
and then he must pass another examina-
ton. Attorneys cannot appear in the
Supreme Coust ana Court OF Errors and
Appeals and all bills and petitions filed in
chancery must be signed by a counsellor
as well as an attorney or solicitor, as he
is termed in the chancery Court. II is
strange to see such a reliable paper as
the "sun" fall into such an i~nexcusable
biunder.
