CHURCH OF THE STRANGERS.
The story of Its Founding Told by
the Rev. ID. A. Blackburn.
New York Commercial.

The founding of the Church of the
Strangers In this city has been most app
propriately called "A Romance OF Provi-.
dence," and under that title an intensely
interesting history OF the events leading up
to its establishment was published about
fourteen years ago. But the story of the
institution. az told by the Rev. u. asa
Blackburn, the present pastor of the Des ms
and the successor of the founder, Rev Dr.
Charles Force Deems is of even more i'm

telling; and, second, because the pastor
originality and earnestness possess a charm
that cannot be communicated to the types
DR.. Deems, then a preacher in the Meth
odist Church, came TO New York from
North Carolina in 1866, and on small capital
began the publication of the Watchman. a
religious weekly, but was unable to- make
it self-sustaining, and after struggle Of
a year abandoned the enterprise. Mean
while through his acquaintance with the
woman who afterward became the second
wife of Commodore Vanderbilt. DR.. Deems
had met the great inancier. but had not
been especially drawn TO him, regarding
him only as a man wholly absorbed in the
worldly pursuit of money-getting. The old
commodorcs admiration for the clergyman
had. however. been aroused at their first
NEE ting. and he cultivated him from the
start. although for long time the preacher
was by no means approachable in this par
ticular.
In 1866 DIR. Deems organized a mere
handful OF deyout Worsnlppers into

Traders did not wish to load their minds

chiefly for local account October. now the

came from nigher Liverpool and Paris ca

contracts. Less than million bushels
changed hands during the forenoon The
pit was half deserted most of the session.
New York reported 20 loads taken for ex-
port. Clearances in wheat and flour were
equal to $4,000 bushels Primary receipts
were 1.175.0o0 bushels. compared with $4,000
bushels last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 446 cars, q of contract grade.
Corn was firm, but trade was on a mod
crate scale. The tone was sustained by
higher cables, hot weather West, light
country offerings and the fact that there
were no deliveries on September contract.
October sold between 39c and 391zc. and
closed AQ3sc higher, at 39lsc. Receipts were
300 cars.
Oats opened firm, but turned heavy, as
there seemed to be bearish feeling preva-

THE FIRST INSANE ASYLUM.

Virginia can lay claim 10 the proud dis

ton exclusively for the insane upon this

gesses provided for building for the in
sane at Williamsburg. then the capital or
the colony. This event preceded by thirty
years the revolution in the treatment OF
the insane introduced by Pinel, Of Frame,
and luke, OF England. In 1902 Virginia
provided a second public institution fer her
insane at Stanton. and in 1870 she organ
lied the first asylum exclusively for the
colored insane in the world. DIR. Drewry
states that at the present time the popula-
ton OF Virginia Is about I10O00 two
thirds being white and one-third colored.
OF these 300 have been adjudged insane

population. The ratio i'm the whites Is
slightly larger than that In the negroes
