refused the offer. Unquestionably, the city
is gamer by this refusal. There are many
skyscrapers, but there is but one st. Paufs
chapel. Most things have to give way to the
advance Of commerce and the demands OF
business. Recently business has forced the
Broadway Tabernacle to SELL and its congre-

elsewhere But ST. Paul's with it's long his

Fra EIbertus Has "A Past"
A Buffalo dispatch tells how, in the supreme
court there, Justice Childs issued an order
! compelling Ebert Hubbard, of East Aurora,
| the editor of the Philistine, to admit in writ
ing that he was able to pay $40 week to
keep child of which he is alleged to be the
father, or appear before referee and explain
his finances
Wayland H. Woodworth OF Buffalo, sued
Hubbard and Miss Alice Moore, Woodworth.s
sister, for $1,000. Woodworth claimed that
Hubbard and Miss Moore lived together
about 1894 and that in that year they brought
| to him to keep a child of which they con-
| fessed parentage.
Hubbard Woodwork alleged, agreed to
| pay at least IS week for the child's board,
and added that he would pay $40 a week
whenever he could Woodwork says Hub
bard Paid for few months only, but the
Woodworths supported the child until last
summer and then began action.
In his defense Hubbard raised the Dues
| ton of his ability to pay SO a week. Wood
worth pointed to Hubbard's publishing bust
ness, the RoycrofI Shop, and his lecturinS
| tours.
| few days ago Woodworth's lawyer OBJ
| tanned an order requiring Hubbard to appear
before Lawyer Van Peyna to be examined
prior to the trial. Hubbards lawyer moved
to vacate this order, but Justice Chids denied
the motion and decided that Hubbard must
submit to examination, unless he admitted
in writing, to be used in the trial of the ac-
ton, that since January, 1885, he has heen
able to pay $40 week for the care of the
child.
Mr. Hubbard after few days consideration
notified Attorney Eugene M. Bartlett, who ap-
peared for Woodwork, that he would admit
that he was able to pay $40 week for the
board Of child, thus evading an examina-
ton which was to have been held before H.
4 B. Van Peyma.
The affair has proved something of shock
to the East Aurora genius admirers.
Democrats Are Full of Hope.
The democrats may be deceiving themselves
as to their prospects next fall, but they are
certainly inspired with greater hope than al
any other time IN four years. Indeed. ex.
Controller Coler predicts that the democratic
ticket will carry the state next fall by over
$4,000 plurality. On the other hand, there ara
developments on the republican side. The ex.
, istcnce Of factional differences cannot. IN.
!, deed, be concealed, and party harmony may
be said to depend en the thread Of Senator
Platt's life But the republican leaders. ney.
ertheless, recognize the bearings of the situa-
. ton and are acting with discretion. For in
stance, Senator Platt has directed Lieutenan.
, Governor Woodruff to patch UP peace in
Brooklyn. This may result in Mr.. Dady's
retirement from political leadership, at least
for the time being. It is to 5Dady that the
independents are chiefly opposed, and they
. will. probably be satisfied with nothing else
! than his head. Mr. Dady is at present in Ha-
vana looking after his big contract there Yet
he continues to hold on to his political lead
ership in Brooklyn and his elections commits
sionershp in New York. The spectacle of a
. commissioner drawing $1,000 year from tbs
city Of New York spending a large part Of his
\ time looking after a contract in Havana has
become something of a public scandal.
