Trlnny's Great income and outlay.

Trinuy's Great income and Outlay.
Out of it's annual income of over
$500, 900 the Rev. Mr.. Morgan Dix. rec
tor of Trinity church, in New York
receives a salary of $4,000. This sal
airy is more than double that of Bish-
op Potter, of the diocese of New York,
who receives but $4,000. This large
income is exhausted by many claims;
the expenses of the church proper, the
support of the chapels, the large year
ly grants to twenty-fOur parishes, the
payment of taxes and assessments,
and the maintenance of the parOchial
schools and other parish charities. The
rental from the church farm" proper
ly constitutes the main source of Trim
itys income. The property IS scattered
widely throughout the city. Much of
it, however, lies in the near vicinity Of
the church. Ii is rented for various
purposes-for public buildings, stores
and tenements. Assisting Mr.. Dix in
the work of the church and its chapels
are eight Wears and sixteen curates,
and they receive each one from $1,000
to $4,000. The sections of the church
and the several chapels receive $4,000,
and each one is furnished with depu-
ty and an assistant. The music of the
church costs much. The many choir
boys receive, each one, from $24 to 800
yearly. The soloists, of which there
are eighteen, receive from 5000 to $400.
For the church itself there is a yearly
musical appropriation of 10000; for
each one of the seven chapeIs, $500;
making a total of over 100000.

London clubs

London clubs are far cheaper than
ours, according to a New York gossip
er. The initiation fee in the most exclu-
sIve and fashionable never exceeds
500, while the highest dues at only $50.
Only one charges so much as that-the
Turf Club. The range among others
Is $50 and $50. With the Royal Yacht
Squadron things are different. The in
itation fee is $500 and the annual dues
are $50. The most expensive clubs are
those OF the army and navy and the
universities. For instance, in the
United University the initiation fee is
5000, in the Oxford and Cambridge it
is 5000. in the Navy and Military $500
the Junior United Service 5000, the Uni
te Service S160, the Army and Navy
5000.

The Boy Told the Truth

The New York Sun tells story of
the Metropolitan Club of that city,
otherwise known as the MillIonaires'

on the lack of patronage which has led
to an assessment OF the members. The
clubs telephone bell rang about 8
o'clock in the evening recently and the
hall boy answered 1t. lis my husband

Few people who know all the cir
cumstances will agree with Colonel
Bird. late of Manila, that the authori-
ties were wrong In declaring this an
infected port. In the first place, the
port was and to some extent is, infect
ed, declaration or no declaration. Sec
ondly. IL the authorities had not acted
as they did and made proper safe
guards. all Coast ports might have
been closed against Hawaiian sugar

handling Of the plague from the first

served our export trade. In phrase
we chose lesser financial evil to es-
cape a greater one.

II is not often that the Advertiser has
to record capital crimes in this city, as
our Immunity from them. as compared
with places OF similar size on the Main
land, is a distinguishing mark. Today,
however, we note the exceptions that
prove the rule. There was an epidemic
OF bloodshed Saturday night and Sun
day which Is calculated TO chill the

Az usual with such crimes everywhere
the stimulating cause was drink. The
only solaee in the matter is that the

MAY OPPOSE BRYAN.
New York Dems Want Neither the
Candidate or the PLATFORM.

New York, April 13.-The Herald
says:
1t developed yesterday that there Is
great doubt that the Democrats of this
state will indorse the candidacy of Will
liam ]. Bryan in their state convention
The delegates are likely to go unin-
structed. This may mean that they will
be for Admiral Dewey, If Dewey has q
chance for the nomination. There is
general regret that the admiral did not
declare his candidacy six months ago.
The opinion was also expressed that
there will be some trouble about declar-
ing in favor of the Chicago platform.
Many Democrats want declaration in
favor of the gold standard. They think
this will be good way of getting Mr..
Bryan and his friends to accept a modi-
fed Chicago platform, and make the
campaign on trusts, mistakes of the war
and blunders of the colonial policy of
the administration.
Democrats who talked with David B.
Hill and Senator Murphy came away
with the feeling that there was a good
chance of Democratic success if Bryan
would only consent this time to take the
nomination on behalf of the West as
Its share, and let the East make the
platform.

The Slaughter of the Innocents.
The following is local news item
copied from the Feb. %, 1900, issue OF
one OF the great New York dalies:
"Thirty-eight dead babies in the
morgue were mute evidences that yes
terday was the coldest day of the
winter. One Of them, two days old, was
found in front of No. 247 West Forty
sixth street, had actually been frozen
to death. 1t was wrapped only in a
thin piece of muslin. The other bodies
were unclaimed" dead, their parents
being too poor to bury them
What an awful significance when we
stop to consider that this is the record
Of but one day, and one city of many!
Thirty-eight innocent babies starved,
frozen or perished from lack of medical
attention: consigned to unnamed and
unknown graves, in a city which boasts
of scores of millionaires!

those who spend $50 each for caskets
IN which to bury their pet dogs.
II the injunction, "Go sell what thou
hast and give to the poor" does not
mean at least that SO long as anybody
has surplus none should suffer from
lack Of the necessaries Of life, then the
incident recorded in the scripture has
no meaning at all and better be omitted
from the religious ceremonies of those
who, blinded by party idolatry or per-
sonal gain, are ever conspiring to pre-
vent the economic emancipation Of
mankind. Let them have an expurgat-
ed edition of the bible, as well as Of
other great books, so that they may
no longer claim the genuine edition as
the source of their grotesque inspiration
and thus bring it into disrepute.

COTTON ADVANCING
VERY STEADILY.
Market Gained Quarter Cent Yes
terday.
ALL MONTHS ARE QUITE ACTIVE
January Led With a Gain of Twenty
five Points-Wil Probably Soar
Above Ten Cents Today Spot Cot
ton is Very Firmly Held.

The cotton market again ''put on
wings" yesterday and went soaring
above the highest point reached in SIX
weeks, or since the fearful slump be-
gan on October 10th.
Opening firm, and at an advance
over the closing figures of Saturday,
yesterdays market went mp by leaps
and bounds until the close of the SEES
sion. It was then that January, the
favorite position, touched 981 the
highest point reached in six weeks.
And the trade will be surprised if il
does not go above 10 cents today.
Tie bull element are again masters
of the situation and everything is COM
ing their way. It seems that nothing
can hold cotton down and higher pri-
ces, even. are predicted.
But there is every reason now why
cotton should go up, and no reason to
the contrary. Prophet Neill says the
crop will not exceed 9,75O,O0O bales;
receipts are falling off rapidly, the
mills are IN the market, and every.
thing points to much better prices.
Even eleven cents, after the holt
days, is not at all improbable.
And the long headed farmer who
held on to part of his crop now has &
right to teel good over the situation
And there are not few of these il

AMERICUS BOASTS
EIGHT THOUSAND.
Careful Count Indicates That as The
Population.
DIRECTORY HAS THAT NUMBER
While Federal Census Fixes Popula-
ton at 1874 Americas Really Has
5000. Work Was Thoroughly Done
and Figures Corrected.

Americas has population of s, 900 in
round figures, and that number of
names will appear in the city directory
soon to be issued. And the people are
here to show for it, too.
There is not the least doubt in the
world about that.
The new Hollis directory ia now be-
ing printed, and careful count of the
names appearing therin shows a total
of 1900. An addenda of two or three
score or more names, yet to be includ-
ed in the above count, will give a to-
tai of 5000 or near it.
The Times Recorder has always in
sisted that Americus contained 5000
people and there is no doubt of the
correctness of the claim.
According to the directory figures.
which are absolutely correct, we haye
226 more people than were accredited
by the Federal census, which every
one, at the time of publication, believ
ed to be incorrect.
One of the census enumerators here
made canvass of the entire city for
the publisher of the directory, after
completing the work assigned by the
Census Bureau, and many were found
whose names were not included in the
first count that was made.
The work was carefully done and
there can hardly be mistake,
The proof sheets for the directory
show a total now of 1900, as above
stated. OF these $3.50 are whites and
1890 colored citizens. Many more
white names will be added.
At the time the census was taken
many people, in some instances entire
families, were away for the summer
There's were counted in the second
enumeration for the directory. Ii
that way, principally, is the difference
of nearly $50 names accounted for.
