of the South has begun this year at a much in
creased rate over that OF previous Trans

completely utilized and that early application is
often necessary in order to secure choice accom-
modations The Southern Railways new train,
THE Southern's Palm Limited" which began it's
service in the middle of January between New

addition to the means of intercommunication be-
tween these two sections. Another train operated
by the Southern Railway system is the Washing

with the Sunset Limited" of the Southern Pa

also popular among travellers 10 Cuba since the
quick time made between New York and Tampa

Tired of the sameness of its diet. one OF the
big polar bears in Central Park yesterday seized
opportunity TO enjoy a tidbit Of unaccus-

of spectator who invOluntarily supplied him
with the dainty. A gust Of wind carried the
hat of this particular spectator into the bears

species.
There ere two polar bears IN the pit. and at
this season OF the year their appetites are

and then swallowed it.
Meanwhile outside the cage frate bald

he apply fer another hat at the Park Depart
ment offices. Thence the man wended his way.
He related the circumstance and demanded the

THE SYSTEM OF cHAPLAINCTEs.

Within the OF pamphlet called The Year
Book of Grace Parish the Rev. DR. William r.
Huntington. with the assistance OF his subordi-
mates in the several departments gives a recital of
the work OF the church for the last year. Copies
OF the book were distributed to the parishoners
yesterday.
Since the publication OF the last Year Book d"

assistants IN deacons orders-Messrs Beatty War

above his services at Grace Church. discharges the
functions Of chaplain TO the fire department, and
has already, during the short time he has been
with us. given abundant evidence Of his fitness for
this peculiarly difficult task. When chaplains were
first appointed for the fire department grave doubt
arose In some quarters the wisdom OF so
startling an innovation. 1t is safe to affirm that
to-day no one acquainted with the facts questions
tending to the needs Of the injured and dying at
nrss; or talking to the men In the engine houses.
or visiting the families of such members OF the
partment as are in trouble Of any sort. the chap
lains find their efforts warmly appreciated. and all
the more so because II IS known that, though
ranking as battalion Chiefs they draw pay
1t is worth while considering continued Mr.
conditions OF the civic life Of the present day. this
i nlelhod OF mlnlstelng TO the moral and spiritual
capable OF much wider application. The Young
Mems christian Association is doing admirable
work. of not wholly dssimilar sort. among rail-
road men; why should not the churches take up
study and provide for the needs Of other guilds of
workers? The fremen are by the only
toilers who n class. have seemed present

truth is. are inclined TO make chUrchgoing too
exclusively the test Of an interest mems part
in religion There are thousands OF men in every
great city with whom anything like regular church
going IS sheer impossibty To such the church
should be carried, and there would seem to be
better method of doing this than by some system
OF chaplaincies.'
Or Huntington says that the year has been one
unusually rich in gifts and benefactions. Fifty
thousand dollars was given at Easter TO form
fund auxiliary TO the sustentation fund. and this
matched by similar amount contributed

endowment of beds in hospitals.
