FAMILY SUMMONED.
Hugh Kerr Was q Resident of Pater-
 son For Fifty Years

Paterson. x. J., Feb 1.--Hugh Kerr, father Of George J. Kerr, one of the four BosSchieter murderers, became unconscious about noon yesterday, and Dr Denner, the family physician, said the end was near The members of the family were summoned hastily to the bedside. A report was circulated throughout the city that the son had been allow ed to leave the jail in charge of q con stable to visit his father and bid him farewell This rumor, however, was denied positively by the jail authori- ties, who said that under no circum- stances would he be permitted to leave the jail until he is taken to the state prison.
 For almost fifty years Hugh Kerr has lived in the seventh ward in this city, and no one was more highly re- spected. He was 20 years old when he came to this country from Ireland, where he had learned the trade of a baker. When he came to Paterson he obtained a position in the Rogers's boiler shop, and subsequently, he was employed as q boilerInaker ill the Cooke locomotive works.
 In 1856 he went to Scranton to look after the interests of the Cookes there, but before leaving Paterson he mar ried Miss Josephine Tynan. Judge Kerr and George J. Kerr were born in Scranton. There are two daughters also, Mrs Benner, wife of pr Benner, and Miss Josephine.
 At the close of the war MT Kerr returned to Paterson and engaged in the business of sewer and roof con- tractor, in which he was successful. For twenty years he had the contract for lighting the city gas lamps. He retired about eight years ago.
 About two years ago he invested SS,OOO in the painting business for his son George but few days after the arrest of George the business was sold out under foreclosure of chattel mortgage held by. MT Kerr. Mir Kerr's first wife died about ten years ago, and he married again.

4I PROFESSIONAL BEGGARS. Police Are Kept Busy Looking After
 Them These Days.

Waterbury is now infested with a band of professional beggars and the police are busy keeping track of them. A few of them were gathered i'll to- day and it is probable that others of the gang will be rounded up before tomorrow morning. They are the cheekiest fellows that ever struck town and play their game in broad daylight With a persistency that as- tonishes everybody. They are bad enough about the center, but they are worse on the outskirts where they operate without fear of being collar ed by the police. Some of them re- fuse victuals that are good enough for anybody and give lots of back answers because they do not sue ceed in getting money. It is not well to be too severe on the tramp. He may be roughing through no fault of his own so that when he calls al the back door and asks for something to eau it is hard to refuse him, and 1t is a question if people who have q little to spare are not in duty bound to help him. But this does not apply to. the half drunken duffer who comes along and bluntly states that it Is money he is after. Such men do great deal of injustice to the profession" Their conduct often prompts housekeepers to shut the door against others who may be all right even though circu1n- stances have forced them to assume the role of professional beggars for q

discouragements from within and without the church.
 That Sunday school can be built up in this city has been demonstrat- ed, and that is ample reason for be- heving that church or churches may be built up here. About six years ago r. H.. Bristow, q clerk in large store, was made superintead- ent of one of our Sunday schools which had membership of about 3Co. Inside of two years the member ship of that school was upwards Of 2,0OO. MT. Bristow devoted his cner- gies to the work, just as this preach CT intends to devote himself to his work. There was no half-hcartedncss in it. He enlisted every man and woman of the church into his Sunday school picket brigade. He demanded that each one snould send a child of , his own, or some neighbor's. He was good singer, and he developed all of the power there is in sacred music to aid in the work, Therefore he succeeded.
 One of the most successful teach. CTS in Sunday school work here says: "The real reason why revivals are so difficult to start and maintain is that the church members themselves need religion and true conversion. They are all good people, but they are all selfishly trying to fvS correct lives, and save their own Souls. In that frame of mind they do not seem to care. about saving the souls of oth- CTS. No general could win battles if his soldiers were simply trying to save their own lives instead of go- ing forward with him., It seems to me that no preacher. can produce a revival unless he can revive his own church before he tries to revive sin. ners. No preacher can do it ali alone, but must have his congregati ion aroused to pitch of his own en- thusasm.'
 That seems to cover the case rather succinctly, not only for Washington but for all communities. The religion of love Is religion of unselfishness Men and women who are trying to save their own souls may miss the mark, because their best lives can be but philosophic lives. like the per feet livings of intellectual and moral Buddhists and Brahmins or Moham, medans. a'T
 'I want no rctoriety over this work" says Il preacher. ''I want to assume that all of the other preachers are as sincere and earnest for the salvation of souls as myself I do not want to be singled out as doing any more than a sacred duty I want to be able to ask the other preachers to send as many people te the revival meetings as they can; SC that there shall be mo rivalries and jealousies. l hope that within a week or ten days some of these preachers will come with me and take part in the exhortations from my pulpit Therefore I do not want any notorie. ty, lest some of them might suppose that I was .magnifyings myself when my whole endeavor is to magnify the Cross and hold it aloft, so that all may see it. -. su. True worshipers everywhere, those who believe in old-time revivals o1 religion because of the necessity oi saving souls from perdition will be interested in this earnest effort, and they will be told the result in due season.

DEATH OF VICTORIA.

Victoria, queen OF the United King
dom OF Gscat Britain and Ireland and
empr- IS of India, is dead.
Her reign as we'll as one of the lore-
est has beer one of the most success full
Great Britain has known, and Queen
Victoria will go to her grave mourned
by the civilized world, With her &C
cession to the throne the real reign OF
constitutional government began as OPP
posed to the personal rule of her pre-
decessors. She has survived. a long
line Of administrations. beginning with
Lord Melbourn in 1897, and including
Peel, Russell, Derby, Aberdeen, Pal
merston, Disrae1i, Gladstone and sal-
lIsbury, some OF these several different
times.
A few years after her accession to the
throne Queen Victoria made a genuine
love match with her cousin, Albert,
Prince of Saxe.Coburg and Gotha, with
whom she lived happily for twenty
Year,, escaping The court scandals so
common among royalty and :setting an
example In all the domestic and social
virtues, Her majesty has had four sons
and five daughters
He reign has be-, marked by unpar-
alle1ed progress in the various elements
of civilization and material prosperity,
aud the kingdom will pass TO the hands
Of her successor, Albert Edward, Prince
of Wac under conditions that should
insure q continuance of the peace and
progress that Lave marked the last half
century.
For nearly So years Queen Victoria
has occupied EuG1snd's throne, and she
mas grown in the esteem OF the nations
OF the world as we'll as in the love of
her own SUI jscts. Several times there
has been talk OF her sbdica ing the throne
during recent years In favor of her sou,
but the people have each time given I'M
mistakable evidences Of their wish that
she shon1d continue to rule over them.
