years. Mr.. Burke was an uncle of Con.
gresham G. III, Burke, of this state, who
reached New York Saturday morning to
attend his uncIe's bedside.
Joseph Burke was unknown to the pres
emit generation, but hail. century ago he
was one of the noted yiolinists of the
world. He came to this country from Ire
land in 1890 and made a theatrical tour.
In the columns of the New York Mirror OF
those days can be found column after
column devoted to Mr.. Burke's work. In
1850 when arnum brought Jenny Lind tc
America, he could not find any violinists

The chief value of these figures lies in
the fact of whether they will enable us to
| ascertain whether UNCONVENTIONAL relig-
ion is holding it's own in this country or
whether Ii is disintegrating. as has been
| frequently asserted in the secular press.
Let us see:
AT the end of 1900 there were q 100000
members of all churches in the United
States, according to DIR. CarroIi's figures,
and there were 5000, 627 at the end of 1901.
This is a gain of 7S0JO27, which is 2.67 per
cent. or greater han the gain In popu1a-
ton for that year. The annual rate of
increase in population from 1890 to 1900 was
2-1S per cent. If h increase of church
membership were only equal to the
increase of population one might allege
that there had been no gains through con
verts, but only through birth and imrni.
grafton, which would show religious
growth 10 be practically at a standstiil.
DIR. Carroll shows, however, that the
growth of religion exceeds the growth OF
population by 40 per cent.
For the first time the Christian Scien-
lists appear ON the lists with u member
ship of 5000. They claim more than
double that number, however. The Spir-
ituaiists are not counted at all. though
! they nave been known to claim as many
as 100000 members. An equally uncer-
tain factor is the Mormon. DR.. CARROTS
belief is that there are 10000 Mormons in
and about Utah and it is stated that $500
converts were made last year by l,400 mis-.
s~ionaries In the east.
The Quakers, according to DIR. Carroll
| are losing, especially In the west, where
they have tried to modernize themselves
They thrive best where they still cling to
their old dress and customs, which is
something of a lesson in its way.
One noteworthy fact in all religious sta
tistics seems to be that after all the
denominations are counted up to their
fullest claims a very large number is
found TO be outside of all churches, a
least so far as church attendance is con
cerned.

who committed suicide on command of
the Emperor II is impossible to give the
full report, as the details of the actual
suicides are given with true Chinese

whole account. however, bears the stamp
of truth, and the statement of the Chi

paid the penalty for their crimes, hith-

as confirmed. The report runs:

the distinguished method of taking ones

is caused not by poisoning. as is generally
assumed, hut by asphyXia as the thin gold
leaves stick in the air passages. Hoping
against hope, however, that the Empress
