A BAR IN AN OLD CHURCH.
Transformation of IA Structure Once
Used by ConsreeationnIfsts.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Roslyn, L. l.. is
the only place on Long Island which has
a saloon IN a church building. The old
Congregational or Union Westinghouse,
on the Mineoia Road and Garden Avenue,
has been opened as a hostelry by Thomas
Thomas. and most of the furnishings of
a house of worship have been left intact.
Thomas was q beer bother and kept
the old Deitz place near Roslyn. He is a
man without any prejudices or sentiment.
His beer-bottling business grew and he
decided to open a saloon, and wanted to
get a place cheaply. Through Edward
Allen, counselor, he found out that the
church was in difficulties. and that the
Riverhead Savings Bank had the prop
erty on it's hands. He at once saw the
1inancier of Riverhead and got the
church. Then he transformed it into
saloon. His transformation was simple.
The benches and pulpit were pulled out
and a bar placed where the choir loft
had been. The beer horse" was placed
exactly in the spot where the pulpit had
stood.
The bell was removed from the tower
of the place, but the stained-glass win
dows were left in their places. The old
Gothic doorway was taken of and backed
up against the stable sheds for an en-
trance to the stables. The soft light OF
the stained-glass windows In the barroom
give queer effect. 1t makes the beer
look more like amber, and the rose tints
upon the floor are suggestive of more
religious quarters.
Behind the bar is a piece Of pulpit
hangings which covers the rear bar of
the saloon. Thomas has fringed it with
yellow lace, and declares he will never
part with it. The outside architecture
of the building remains the same ana,
turning a point in the woods, one comes
suddenly upon the old church and is
shocked TO see it plastered over with
bock-beer signs and hot-free-lunch an
nouncements.

OUR JAPANESE COMMERCE
Smaller Trade in COttOns Cause an
Apparent Decrease.
The Exports to That Country for
Nine Months of the Present Fiscal
Year show "a Material Decrease,
CharEenbie to This One Item.

CharSenbie to This One Item.
The commerce of Japan, in which the
United States is greatly interested, is
| discussed by the Swiss Consul General
at Yokohama in report which has just
reached the Treasury Bureau of Statis-
| ties 1t shows q steady increase in the
| importations Of Japan in 1900 over those
of the preceding year, though in the mat
ter of raw cotton there has been mark
ed decrease. Japan's importatiOns of raw
cotton in 1899 were very large, and owing
to the higher price in 1900 and the large
stock of American cottons laid in during
1899, her imports of that single article
from the United States in the nine
months ending with March, 1901, have
been only s., ,729,5SO in value as against
81, ,517 .96S in the corresponding months of
the fiscal year 1900.
AS a consequence the total figures of our
exports to Japan show a material de-
crease chargeable, however, almost ex-
clusvely to the single item of cotton.
Even with this great reduction our total
exports to Japan in the nine months for
which the Bureau of Statistics has COM
pleted its figures of the present fiscal
year are nearly two million dollars in ex-
cess of the corresponding months of the
y
served, less than those created by the alb
normal Importation of American cottons
in the fiscal year 1900.
The following statement OF commercial
conditions in Japan is taken from the re-
port of the Swiss Consul General above
referred to:
Owing to the recent political troubles,
Japan's foreign trade in 1900, unlike pre-
ceding years, shows a considerable fall
ing off. Money has been scarce, one bank
after another has had to suspend pay
ments and the Japanese merchants, un-
able to find market for ordered goods.
simply break their contracts. 1t is re-
ported that there are at present goods to
the value of about 2O,0o0,o00 which have
been ordered, but not taken by japanese
merchants and manufacturers
THE imports as compared with those of
the preceding year have been higher by
about $S3. 10000, while the exports have
been lower by $5,50O.O00 This means for
Japan an outflow of over $4,000 600. 1t
is hoped that after the end of the Chi
nese troubles, which impose upon Japan
altogether excessive sacrifices, a turn to
the better may take place The total
value of the foreign trade in 1900 was $243,-
$1,000, an increase of $27, 600 600 over the
figures of 1899. This increase is due chiefly
to the extraordinary demand for rails
and other iron products. woolen cloths,
sugar and petroleum. The exports show
a decrease of So, 500 eco. chiefly owing to
the depression In the trade of raw silk,
'kaiki,' matches. and cotton yarns

trade of 1899 and 1900 are as follows:
