The Rector Runs n Store.
Calvary Episcopal church, at
Fourth avenue aud Twenty-first
street, is well known among the
poor of New York for its charit-
able and philanthropic work. 1t
now proposes to open shop, un
der the parish care, i'll which will
be kept a good line of such dry
goods as are i'll constant demand
among the poor.
This is not a new experiment
for the rector of Calvary, Rev.
DR.. j. Lewis Parks. He had al
ready given this scheme a fair
trial in his former parish of ST
Peters in Philadelphia. DR..
Parks told me the original fund
with which this shop was started
was furnished from the rector's
fund. This has been returned,
and the shop has been for some
years yielding a small interest
upon the investment.
1t is proposed to keep a fair
stock of dry goods which are in
common use. such as ginghams,
plaids, fannels and cotton goods.
Sales will be made on the Install
ment plan, and no person bring
ing credentials will be refused
credit for such goods as he really
needs. \ reasonable price will
be charged in order to make the
work self-suppOrting. but it is
the purpose to keep the price far
below that charged in the Ordi-
nary dry goods stores doing busi-
ness on the installment plan.
This shop is really the out
growth of a custom which has
been in vogue in Cavalry parish
for some time. 1t has been the
practice to permit its parishion-
ers to purchase at cost price Ger
tain articles from its stock of
cloth provided for the regular
work of the various OrganiZa-
tionS. Demand for these articles
increased to such an extent that
the idea of keeping Il store here
similar to the one he had organ
ized in Philadelphia presented it
self to the rector.
1t is proposed, as the Occas-
ion arises, to enlarge the scope
Of the new institution. and if it
seems desirable arrangements
may be made by which the store
shall shop for its customers. At
present two sales are held every
week-On Tuesday and Thursday
mornings-in one of the large lee
ture rooms of Calvary Chapel, in
East Twenty-third street.
If you have a cough, throat irrita-
ton, weak lungs, pain in the chest
difficult breathing, Group or hoarse-
ness, let US suggest One Minute
Cough Cure. Always reliable and
safe. W. B. Frame, druggist.
Bivens & Williams have sold
two ears of buggies since February
10. This is an enyiable record in
buggy selling and one not enjoyed
by any other dealers in this coun.
try. Their high grade goods, ex.
tremely low prices, reasonable
terms, and their reputation fol-
selling goods that are exactly
what they recommend them to be,
have made this firm a favorite one
with the buying public. 13-d&wtt

oDp FELLOWS, ANNvERsARY.

Independent Order of Odd Fellows
celebrates the eightieth anniversary
of it's founding. In certain OF the
cities of the United States, with ban
quets, meetings and public speeches,
with music and song, ant with ap-
propriate exercises, will men VINO
are linked together in the fraternal
bonds of Odd Fellowship commem-
crate that day, the one on which,
Just four score years ago, the noble
order was given birth in America.
This, one of the very best of secret
fraternal societies. with its thou
sands of members and its record of
millions expended in relief of dis
tressed members and their families,
had very humble origin and dates
from early in the eighteenth CEN
tury.
1t originated with three men who
were of the peasantry Of England
and the heads of large families.
They bound themselves together by
a fraternal obligation, the chief OBJ
ject of which was the protection of
each others interests. By this obli-
cation each member was in duty
bound to care for the sick and pro-
vide burial for the dead, each acting
for the families of the others, if need
be, the same as for his own. The
fraternity exhibited by the members
of a common brotherhood was so
unusual as to cause them to be
termed by their neighbors "Odd
Fellows" and hence the name by
which the order is still known.

the time no traces of the parties who
killed the animals, as he was almost
certain that the xii ling was done by
men. Later he returned to them and
found upon careful investigation. that

man Carleton's staff, was in the city.
Wednesday, to appear before the grand
jury on case where man is accused
of logging deer. There are also sew
eral other cases that have been held
over, that are likely to come before
the present term of court. Mr.. Clark
says that so far as the poaching goes
against the fish laws, his section is re-
markably free of it, this year, and
each year sees less than the former
one. He remarks that the poachers
stand little chance of escaping detec-
ton nowadays, and have to confine
themselves to the backwoods. Mr.
Clark is a fearless officer and an all
around good fellow.
