THE FREE PEW MOVEMENT,
1t is Making Progress in All Parts of
the Country.

The rented pew is becoming an
anomaly in the Episcopal church. At
least twenty-five years ago the rented
pew WAS not only one of the main
sources of revenue to a church, but
was also one Of the cherished institu-
tons i'll drawing the line between the
orthodox churchman seated and the
dissenter unseated. The clergyman Or
layman who advocated free seats was
regarded with suspicion and in the
light of an iconOclast. This applied not
only to the old Episcopal churches, but
to the Congregational, Unitarian and
other denominations as well.
1t is hard to say at this date where
the free pew movement began, but it
has left its impress throughout the
country. In the city of Boston, for in
stance, it is only the extremely old
Episcopal churches, whose history is a
part of the history of Boston, which re-
tains the rented pew, and in these few
exceptions nearly as many free seats
are provided in the galleries as there
are rented seats. The general idea of
the times is that the preaching of the
gospel should be absolutely without
restriction to all who may listen. The
decline in church attendance, so that
churches are in that position where
they are glad to get congregations at
all. has been one of the main factors in
the change. But the change has come
even in very prosperous churches.
At the present time the only central
Episcopal churches in this city which
have rented pews are Trinity and En-
manuel In Trinity 400 free seats are
always available in the galleries, and
in Emmanuel church the galleries are
always thrown open. But even in these
churches. when there are vacant seats
in an unoccupied pew. church ushers
always assign strangers to them, so
that now practically every vacant seat
is free. In st. Johns and in ST. James,
RoXbury. two of the Oldest Episcopal
churches, the rented pew survives. In
st. Paul's the pews are owned. In the
Church of the Advent. in st. Stephens
and, in fact, all the other churches. the
seats are rs free as in the Catholic Or
in any other Protestant churches. All
churches of whatsoever denomination
are glad at this day to get congrega-
tions, and the new pew system natural
ly gives way before this.-Boston Ad-
vertiser.

Canada Is our largest foreign customer
for this product, the total quantity ex-
ported to Canada last year being over
three million pounds. The principal
port of shipment was San Francisco,
from which about ~ million pounds
were SENT from Detroit, three-uuarters

The imports Of fruits and nuts have, as
already indicated. changed but little in to-
tai value. but in character there has been
a material change during the last decade.
Oranges, of which the total importations
amounted to over ~ million dallars in
1896 will amount in 1904 to but little over
a half million dollars in value of i'm
ports. Lemons, which amounted to over
five million dollars in 1895. will amount to
little over three million dollars value
in the importations of 1904. The bulk of
the lemons come from Italy. and of or
anges chiefly from the British West In
dies Bananas from by far the largest
single item in the importations of fruits
and nuts. and will aggregate over seven
million dollars in the fiscal year, 1904,
against four and one-half millions in 1895
They come chiefly from Central America,
Cuba and the British West Indies.

value of fruits and nuts imported and

Washington. July 15.-Exports of

fiscal year 1904 will exceed S2O.OoO, 600
against less than $3,OOO,OOO in 1891 and
less than 100000 in 1884 The growth
in the expectation of fruits from the
