Epiphany has had seven rectors since its
organization in 1872 In addition to Rev
DR.. French, the other rectors who have
served the parish in order were the Rev
DR.. Hall, the Rev. Dr. Starkey, Rev. Dr.
Watkins, the Rev. Dr. Paret, the Rev. Dr.

McKim. Two of these-Dr. Starkey and

in 1890 the church structure was remod-

and three years later new tower was
erected over the edifice This year the
beautiful carved stone reredos have been
placed in the church, the total cost of I'M
provements connected with the building
since 1890 being over LOCO. The appear
ance of the structure today is, of course,
vastly different from that of sixty years

Epiphany parish has been very active in
the work of the Episcopal Church of the
city and its influence has been felt in many

Epiphany parish is recognized as one OF
the most influential in the diocese. The
parish was organized in 1912, the prelin!--
nary meetings of the members being he'd
in the parlors at the home of a benevolent
old lady known as Grandma James, For
two years after its organization services
were held in the old Apollo Hall, which
was located at 18th and streets north
west and the first rector of Epiphany was
the Rev DR. French In 1914 the house of
worship was erected on the site of the pres
ent building, and since that time the mem
bers of the parish have worshiped there.
The structure was doubled in size in 1851,
because of the increased number of COM
municants and the growing influence of the
parish
whose names are prominent in the history
of the city, and in many instances in the
history of the country, those who wor-
SHIPPED at Epiphany during the period
from 1860 to 1880 were: Gen. William May
nader Gen. Seth Williams, Gen. Abe Perry,
Judge Swayne, Hugh McCulloch, Gen. /. G..
Parke, Lord Napier, Sir Edward Thornton
and Lord Asnburton, British ministers;
John Sherman, Gilbert Rodman, Prof. l. H.
C. Coffin. Chief Justice NJ. c. Waite and
others. Jefferson Davis also worshiped at
Epiphany until the outbreak of the civil
war. 1t is an interesting incident to note
that when Mr.. Davis left the city his pew
in Epiphany was occupied by Edward NJ.

ton to judge that Epiphany parish and its
rector We're largely instrumental in secur-
ing the organization of the diocese OF
Washington in 1895, and also in setting it's
boundaries. In 1894 the rector was chair
man of the committee appointed to raise
funds for the formation of the Washington
diocese and the committee raised over
s5C, 00J. The Baltimore committee, it is said,
made contribution. The Epiphany
Church people contributed $4,000 toward
this object, larger sum that any other
parish.
Epiphany has generously fostered many
projects. In 1891 her mission house was
erected; in 1892 her mission chapel was
built, the aggregate cost of the two build
ings, including grounds, amounting to
$54, 600. Epiphany, it is said, also contrib
uted more than thirty families to the first
organization of ST. Thomas Church, the
flourishing parish in the farther northwest
section of the city.
The existence of the Church of the Good
Shepherd is also attributed to the efforts
of the rector of Epiphany, who was in
strumental in. reviving it in 1893 The
Sunday School Institute in this city is said
to have been organized in Epiphany
Church through the initiative and the zeal
of Rev. Mr.. Wood one of the assistant
rectors of the parish. During the last
seven years this parish has contributed to
the various diocesan objects $44 6S7; 1t con-
tributes annually 500 to the expenses of
the diocese, $3.50 to the diocesan missionary
fund. and last year over $3.50 to domestic
and foreign missions.
Epiphany-is also conducting large mis-
sionary work in South Washington, where
it expends about 5000 annually; it con-
ducts church home at an expense of
over 5000 a year, and the Lenthall Home
for Widows in this city was built by one of
the members of the parish, and is managed
by trustees who are members of the YES
try of Epiphany. This last named home
has been endowed during the last four
teen years, the endowment fund amount
ing to SCI 100.

upon the subject of missions, and used
charts and maps to illustrate his remarks.
The meeting was well attended and those
present evinced much interest in the serv
ice. Preceding Mr.. Israel's remarks a
prayer service of fifteen minutes duration
was held. Rev. Thomas E. Copes, the pas
tor of the church, conducted the latter
service.

SEWER FARM PROFITS.
An Experiment in Pasadena, CAL,
Proves to Be Successful.

From the Los Angeles Times
Pasadena has a unique institution which
other municipalities would do well to imi-
tate. This is "sewer farm" that is al
ready more than paying expenses, and bids
fair to aid materially in balancing the year
ly budget before many years are gone. The
sewer farm consists of 800 acres, five miles
south of town. which were bought unim-
proved a few years ago. The land was con-
nected by pipes with the sewer drainage of
the city, and now all the sewage is con-
viewed thither and spread over the ground
The result is that land that had been re-
garded as worthless has been made to bios
som as the rose"
The council has special committee whose
business it is to look after the farm. SUI
perintendent, S. o. McGrew, is appointed
and resides on the farm with his family. He
keeps four hired men steadily, and employs
as many others as are necessary from
time to time. Recently the work of picking
the walnuts was begun. This years crop
from city acres promises to yield about $50
sacks of 100 pounds each, which should
bring revenue of about $500 into the
city Mexicans from the ancient village of
San Gabriel are employed to pick the wal
nuts off the ground after they are fayed
from the trees by the farms hired men,
1t is an interesting sight to behold the
senoras, senoritas and their less industrious
husbands sweethearts and progeny going
through the orchards earning from 60 cents
to $3.50 day at gathering the nuts. The
farm has walnut washer on the ground.
The Mexicans husk the nuts they pick
them and then they are carted to the horse
power washer after which they are stored
in big barn on the premises to await the
highest bidder.
Considerable hay is raised on the sewer
farm each year, as well other farm pro-
duets and now ninety fat hogs call the pace
home More land is constantly being
laid out in products of all, sorts. Several
citizens have expressed their willingness to
pay the city handsome price for the
sewage, but the council has found that 1t
pays better to keep farming In the municipal
family.

South African Colonies.

From the Budapest Ueues Poster Journal.
According to the policy announced by the
British cabinet, arbitrary actions in South
Africa need not be apprehended. English
men are good calculators, and they are
fully conscious of the duties entailed by
the new colonies upon the mother country
which is very prudent from the political
viewpoint.

THE CAPITAL QUESTION.

The Bland Herald is of the opinion
that il New Mexico is made a state AL
buquerque will become the capital. The
Taos Cresset says that it thought that
the capital fight which lasted some
twenty odd years when congress des'
ignated Santa Fe as the capital. by the
passage of a bill introduced by an AL
buquerque man and passed through his
efforts, was settled. but it seems that
we are mistaken. The people of New
Mexico built two capitol buildings dur
ing the last fifteen years and do not
care to contract debts for a third very
soon, out we are by no means sure that
we would not favor Albuquerque If the
seat of government vas to be moved
there upon the completion and presen
tation to the territory of a capitol
building as good as OF better, than the
present one. If Albuquerque is pre-.
pared to present her claims in that
manner they will be very strong in.

A SENSIBLE PRINCESS.

Princess Irene of Prussia. the wife
of Prince Henry. is a sensible woman,
She sent a cablegram to her husband
in America begging him that the 5000,
600 that is being spent in his entertain.
ment in New York be used to establish
a Prince Henry home in New York
city for the poor of the great metrop-
oils. There is entirely too much money
spent in dazzling displays and state
dinners that amount to nothing save
bust heads for those that participate
in them. The money for these lavish
entertainments is raised by subscrip
ton and is thrown away. The people
participating are well able to give
themselves champagne dinners, and
not impose upon the public. If the
$500 900 spent on Prince Henry should
be used in founding a home for the
poor of New York as suggested by the
| wife of the piince, it would DO infinite
ly more good than to spend it for dis
play.

SHOULD BE SURVEYED.

The Santa Fe New Mexican says that
the vacant public lands of the terri
tory should be promptly and speedily
surveyed. There are many homeseek-
ers headed this way, who desire to
make homesteads upon public lands
when they reach the territory and
there are many now in New Mexico
who are hindered from making home
steads because there are still many
townships un~surveyed. This territory
has suffered a great deal during the
past few years by the ineficiency and
i~ncompetency of Quinby Vance as sur.
veyor general. 4 new surveyor gener.
al will be installed in a day or two and
there is every reason TO believe that a
policy more public spirited and more
beneficial will be i~naugurated in the
conduct OF the office. Eastern New
Mexico especially needs attention in
that line, as the building of the Rock
Island and FL PasO railroad through
that section is bringing many settlers
and immigrants there and as the con
struction of the Santa Fe Central rail
way will have the same result in south
ern Santa Fe. eastern Bernalillo and
Valencia counties.

BUILDS

Whatever else may be denied about
the results of protection, it can hardly
be denied that it has encouraged cap
ital to engage in industry. Whatever
Ices this stimulates competition. The
tendency to organize trusts received
its greatest impulse during the hard
times of a few years ago, when all but
the strongest ndustrialists lost heav-
lily by the collapse of the market. The
great problem of the hour was how to
retrench in expenses and economic in
production and distribution. and the
trusts method met the requirements of
the period as no other. 1t is compare
lively easy in a slow market. with con-
sumption cut down and prices at the
lowest. for the stronger to drive the
weaker to the wall; and there is the
greatest incentive to the organization
of industry. It is apparent that in
such periods men are driven to organ
iZe and combine for self preservation.
The effects of protection is to stimu-
late competition and expand industry.
If individuals can not stand against
the trusts in good times and under pro
| lection. it Is certain that they would
have little hope to survive under free
trade when industry, credit and con-
sumption are curtailed.

1HE RAILROAD QUESTION

An examination of the text of the
two bills introduced in congres for
the regulation of interstate commerce
fails TO show that either of them is
adequate to met the situation which
confronts the interstate railroads and
the people of the country to support
them. The interstate commerce law
has been of no service in putting a
stop to dishonest railroad administra.
ton. IL Is not necessary to go into the
question whether that result is due to
the commission or to the law. 1t is
enough that the law. as at present ad
ministered. is a failure, and that some
sufficient remedy which will put an
end to rate extortion, rate discrimina
ton and to other forms of favoritism
in railroad administration, is neces
sary.
Since the general introduction OF
railroad carrying there never has been
a thorough public inquiry conducted
regarding the general subject of rail
road administration. It is a matter on
which the ~profoundest ignorance pre-
walls among the people. The policy OF
concentration of interest among the
great trunk lines continues and is
fraught with interest to the people OF
remote communities.

Senator w. A. Clark owns six of the

DEFENSE OF BEET s.GAR.

The sugar war is not an altogether
one-sided contest. for the beet sugar
interests are defending their position
as vigorously as possible. A neatly
printed booklet has been issued on
tanning the brief of the statement and
argument of the American Beet Sugar
association before the committee on
ways and means of the house of rep
re~sentatives.
The argument says: THE proposed
reduction of the duty on Cuban sugar
and tobacco is an arbitrary, disorderly
and unscientiic treatment of the tariff
situation in the United States. 1t is
not fair to single out the industry most
needing protection and to reduce the
duty upon its manufactured product
without giving it the advantage of a
reduction in the duty upon iron. steel
and other articles which enter into the
construction Of the factory and the
conduct of its business"

DOME OF THE CAPITOL.

The dome of the capitol at Wash
ington is the only considerable dome
of iron in the world. 1t is a vast hol-
low sphere weighing 5000 800 pounds
more than 1000 tons, or almost the
weight of 10000 full grown persons, or
about equal to 1000 ladened coal cars
of four tons each, which, If strung out
one behind the other, would occupy a
mile and a half of track. On the very
top of the dome the ~allegorical figure
America weighing 1895 pounds,
lifts it's proud head high in the air.
The pressure of this dome and figure
upon the Tiers and pillars is t5.477
pounds TO the square foot. 1t would,
however, require a pressure of 1855 ,2S6
pounds to the square foot to crush the
supports of the dome. The cost of this
immense dome was little short of
81 900 1000.
