POVERTY OF ENGLISH CLERGY
Many Of the Benefices Said to Be
Worth Less Than $3.50 Year.
New York SUM

tNcW York SUM
The lot of the clergy in the Church
of England. today. is said to be So
wretchcd that even younger sons have
given up the career which for so many
years was looked upon as their chief
resource. 1t may easily be understood
that this calling has ceased to appeal
to them when the fact is known that
ont of about 1i000 benciices in tn"
church more than 1000 are worth less
than $50 Il year and that nearly all Of
them are decreasing in value.
About 1900 benefccS are worth only
$500 IL year and less than $50 annually
is the return from 800 livinGS which
have been recently described as more
nearly "starvings" to the unfortunatcS
who are assigned to them. In the do
cese Of Peterborough there are 81 liv-
ings that are worth no more than $50
a year and this is not yet the worst,
as there are in Newcastle benefices that
are valued at only $l25 year.
The wives of the clerSymcn in these
parishes are of course unable to en-
plOy servants and all the drudgery of
homework falls on their shoulders. The
luxury of meat is denied to them OK
cept ON alternate days and their chill
dren-of whom the number is nearly
always in inverse ratio to the amount
of the living-are prepared by educa-
ton in the elementary schools, or BY
the teaching their parents can give
them at odd times for their descent to
a lower social sphere. These clergy
men as rule come from good county
families Their wives are from tho
same class and are in few cases fitted
by their training for life Of drudgery
and hard work.
The actual return from these livings is
frequently much less than the figures
quoted here since their value Is dependent
on the price of corn and this mas declinc'
until in many cases what used To be Il
living worth 500 is now in reality not
worth more than two-thirds OF that sum
Various exactions make life hard for
the rector who is trying 10 struggle along

If his predecessor happened 10 be a man
of private means and chose TO enlarge

most of the present evil is attributed

FOUL PLAY SUSPECTED.
Negro From Wake Forest Supposed to Have
Been Wounded Here.

A suspicious death at Wake Forest
Sunday is being investigated by the
coroner. DR.. j. L. Moore, of Apex.
one-legged negro, Dick Virgins, who
came to Raleigh Tuesday of last week is
the dead man. He had transferred his
affections from Bette Driver 20 her Sis
ter Eta, and his brother in law, John
Denton, who works at the Marlborough
told him that Bette had said she would
kill him if he came again. But Dick
went and on Wednesday morning, so
John Denton says, was found in ditch
near the Driver woman's mousse on Smith
field street, in semi unconscious condi-
ton, by his first love who gave him 5
cents and told him to get off.
Until Friday he disappeared and was
next seen on Wilmington street. He
was half dazed and remained so till Sun
day when he died at Wake Forest, where
he had been taken DR.. Moore has en-
panelled jury at Wake Forest and will
investigate the matter today. The ne
gro's eye was in bad shape, blood came
from his ears and a fracture at the base
of the skull is expected to be found by
physicians at Wake Forest.
