habit, men being saved from it by the

II was In New England that the rector
had been called. The church was a mag
nihcent edihce, and none Of the former
incumbents had been able to LIT the debt
upon it. BY a strenuous effort the pastor
freed the parish from debt and celebrated
the occasion by an impressive service.

church and while there the good old lady
came I'm. She told him how much the
Pensioners appreciated his work and
turning to one side said:
And these beautiful tablets, erected to
our dead, who have done so much for us.
I sincerely hope we may soon pace one

Police Court Receipts for Year
Promise to Greatly Exceed
Past Records.
MATERIAL GAIN THUS FAR
For First Five Months Fines and
FOrfeitures Are 1910 Ahead
of 1903 Many Ar
rests Made.

If indications are to be relied upon,
the city of Astoria will receive more
money this year from fines and for
FIXTURES in the police court than ever
before. The year has started off at a
record breaking pace, and the increase
as compared with last years receipts
amounts almost to an average months
receipts. With the single exception of
the month of April, when this years
receipts fell $4 below those of April,
1903, every month shows compare
tive gain.
The receipts for the month ending
last night were $1.0S6, as compared
with 1878 for May of the previous year,
and $622.50 for May. 1902. The re-
ceipts for the first five months of 1904
are $67O ahead Of the corresponding
months of the previous year, and ST.
olt.0V dnedu Vi the SdlHe HoutnS lOL
1902.
The showing is particularly gratify-
ing, because of the fact that the first
five months Of the year are not by
any means the liveliest. The increased
receipts are taken as an indication of
the present prosperous condition of the
city. The cost of maintaining the po-
lice department is only little more than
$4,000, so the department win probably
lay up considerable sum for the
other departments of the municipal
government during the year. The fol-
lowing comparative statement will
