A Twentieth Century !
Jubilee. "

New York, May 6.-Devout churchmen
are enthusiastic over the proposal to make
the beginning of the twentieth century the
occasion of church jubilee in old Trinity.
Trinity claims to be the oldest Episcopal
church of worship in this country; and
nearly every old Protestant family of Amer
lea has had its head worship there at an
early period of the country's history. The
exact form of jubilee is not determined but,
If carried out, 1t will be historical, oratoli-
cal and choral.
About once year for several years past
1t has been the custom to revive the report
that Trinity church was sinking and that
1t was only a question of time before the
old editlce would have to be torn down to
prevent its total collapse. A few days ago
this old rufnor appeared again, clad in new
garments, and once more it can be cast
aside as an almost baseiess sensational re-
port.
While it is true that the construction of
SO many sky-serapers in the vicinity of Old
Trinity has had an effect upon the build
ing. this effect is scarcely appreciable, and
expert builders who were called upon to
examine the church several years ago were
able to check the rayages so completely that
not sign that might possibly be a warning
of a collapse has since been detected. 1t
Is safe to say therefore, that the old church
Is safe for many years to come and that
this one relic of moderate antiquity will be
left as long as the present generation OF
lovers of the historic are alive to enjoy it.
To New York city the history of Trinity
church Is the history of religion, of pety,
of charity and of learning. While two hun
dred years is of little moment in the history

fee was two pounds ten shillings, and for
burying an infant one pound FIVE shillings.
His fee for performing a marriage was

The church at that time was by no means
the stately edifice that now looks down up
on Wall street. 1t was small square bul3-
ing with modest steeple,=but 1t answered
every purpose for many years. In 1910 the
work of the present structure was cod
meneed, for while In the years that had in
tcrvened there had been several buildings,
one of which had been destroyed by fire,
none had been particularly large or attrae-
tive. As the times changed and the wealth
of the society increased the need of a moro
commodious structure was felt and so in
1889 1t was voted to erect a church that
should stand for generations as a credit to
the first Episcopalian parish in New York.
About eight years after the establishment
of the parish the corporation received the

GIT that is now and has since been the
OASIS OF its great wealth. In l7O5, when
GOOD queen Anne was mistress of Great
Britain and its colonies her vice regent in
these parts, Lord Cornbury, signed a deed
patent of a tract of land then called the
queens Farm, extending along the west
side of Manhattan Island, from what is now
Fulton street to what Is now Christop aer
street. This property was then merely a
farm, and was not considered to be of any
great value. For us of modern times ii has

Ter, to Roelof Jams. The heirs of Jams sold
these sixty-two acres to the English gov
eminent in 1911, but the validity of this sale
has had to be passed upon by the courts
within the past few years, the heirs of
Anneke Jams claiming that she had not as

and the title is now regarded as aawless
For many years after the Trinity corpor-
alton came into possession of this property
1t was used as a farm, and yielded but a
small rental. AS the city grew northward,
however, the land was put to better uses
and ever since has yielded revenue, which
has been spent in the establishment of 9TH
err churches, the maintenance of schools
and the support of many charities.
This, in brief, is the history of Trinity
church. one of the few remaining remnants
of old New York. Today it Is the point of
interest to which visitors turn as relief
from the more modern sights of the city,
for there is an endless source of study in its
decorations from the magnificent bronze
doors to the elaborate interior decorative
effects that show how much money will do
in identifying a house of worship.
When the artistic sense has been satisfied
the visitor may turn to the old church yard
and there enjoy a breath of antiquity sucn
as few spots in this country can offer The
Oldest grave Is that of child, Richard
Churcher, aged five years, the stone bear
ing the date of 1851, for the old church
yard was the favorite burial place of the
English people of New York years before
the Revolutionary war. AS a result the
stones bear a printed record of the city's
history that is most interesting. There are
to be found the names of the founders of
many of the Oldest families of New YORK.,
governors of colonial and post-Revolutfon-
airy days, mayors and soldiers, artists and
actors, all of whom have played an impor-
tant part in the history of the city.
One of the first monuments to attract the
eye of the visitor is the marble tomb erect
ed to the memory of Alexander Hamilton
who was killed In duel with Aaron Burr,
while near it is a modest slab on which is
the inscription: benjamin Faneuil died
March 81, 1T91 aged so years, months"

of some of the great religious structures

stretch of time seems long indeed Even
one hundred years ago the church was re-
ferred to in official documents as the "Ven-

1t is regarded as one of the greatest of our
antiquities.
Great as Trinity church IS at the present
time its beginnings were humble enough,
and the wealth that has since been placed

To the casual visitor the most remarka-
bic feature of Birmingham's topography is
the wide streets and avenues and the ex-
traordinary regularity in which the city is
laid off. Birmingham was never a ham,
let or village. The projectors of the Magic
City from the first recognized the splendid
future of the district and resolved that
city which they built should be metropoli-
tan from the beginning. Here no one sees
the crooked streets and alleys which so
often are eyesores to other beautiful towns.
Along the principal thoroughfares are
planted rows of elms which, though yet
young, present a most pleasing sight in the
spring, and afford shade to the sun-scorch-
ed citizens in midsummer. 1t is conceded
by all that from the viewpoint of the civil
engineer. the Magic City is the queen of
them all when 1t comes to perspective.
During the months when the mercury is
seized with an uncomfortable desire to
mount higher, many and various are the
attractions which Birmingham offers to
the overworked clerk, the weary business
man, the tired laborer, the blase young
sport and the sweet summer girl in the
way of rest, recreation and reaction from
their daily hum-drum existence. Surround
ing the city are many beautiful parks
which are filled to overlooking on after

the south leads to these resorts, and at
times the crowds going to and fro are enor-

lar resort near Birmingham is East Lake,
six miles out from the city. Here Lake

formances. On weekdays the staid old
citizens angle for the finny tribe, while the
small boy dives from the bath house roof

hearts around over the smooth waters.

AN AMERICAN VICTORY.

The overwhelming victory for Judge
Shackleford, the Democratic nominee in
the Eighth Missouri district is signifi-
cant. The Democratic vote was in
creased 800 over that received by Mr..
Bland in 1898 over the same Republican
candidate. The significance of this lies
in the fact that the contest was fought
wholly on the imperial policy. The
Republicans themselves chose this issue
and challenged the Democrats to make
the fight on it, The Democracy ac-
copied and the result shows plainly that
the people of Missouri are with the
Democratic party against the imperial
policy of the administration which
doubtless will be the predominating is
sue in the great national campaign next
year.
There is no lodging the significance
of this verdict" says the st. Louis Re-
public Republican orators and Re-
publican organs themselves announced
that the test of public sentiment in the
Eighth District would be definite test.
They proclaimed increasingly that the
campaign was of national Importance.
President McKinley's administration is
irrevocably committed to the policies
upon which Republican Candidate Vosh-
oil has just been crushingly defeated.
For those policies to the support of
which the people of the Eighth District
so splendidly rallied, the Democratic
party had declared at a critical moment
when the glamor Of conquest and mill
tarism threatened to weaken the sound
Americanism of the country at large.
Democracy stood unfinchingly for the
principles upon which this government
was founded The people have now once
more Endorsed and upheld those prin-
ciples The significance of the lesson
will not be lost upon the minds of in
telligent observers"
This may be called first blood" for
the Democracy.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. RISE IRON.


Thege seems to be absolutely no top
to the iron market. According to the
current 4rons Age, the demand for pig
iron is increasing and very large sales
have beelN made for delivery by Chi
cago, Pitt sburg and Eastern Pennsyl-
vania. n aturally, this has caused a
further adv ance. Steel rails are said to
be going h igher and sbillets will also
rise more.
(. ,. This remar kable rise beats the man
ufactured bu.N movements in Wall
street all to pieces. Whereas twenty
to thirty poin IS is regarded as big
rise in Wall stl 'eet stocks, pig iron has
risen over 100 per cent. The Louisville
Courier-Journal cites the case of a
Louisville manu- tacturer, who bought
10000 tons of pig,iron al, Birmingham
over year, ago at $5.75 ton. Count
ing interest,andsstor rage, theacost to him
now does not exceed $3.50 a ton. He
could get SIS to SIG now ifShe has not
sold already and he may be, able to sell
for $40. as there is constantly increas-
ing evidence of scarcity, and spot iron
commands heavy pr, emium. In other
words, he has more than doubled his
investment in a commo dity' the least in
teresting,to the average IMAM that could
be named.
So great has been the, advance and
so large, the profits that alil'the furnaces
are making fortunes. Our Louisville
contemporary states that southern iron
that sells lat $3.50 and $16 ton prob
ably costs not moreN that $3.50 or IS. 1t
is said that many a plant will pay for
itself this year, and that 'the great iron
companies are earning as much as 20
per cent. ON enormous capitalization.

great trusts can only beAgnessed
How long this situation will last is
probematical, though,it is said the Car
negies have accepted Norders at present
