BIG GAIN In
THE CHURCHES.

DR.. Ell. K. Carroll, of PIainfield. now
one OF the secretaries of the Methodist
Missionary Society, but who was in
charge of the government census Of
churches in 1890, has annually COM
piled the statistics OF the religious
bodies in this country for a number of
years past, and his conclusions for this
year have just been made public. DR..
Carroll admits that in some cases it
has been impossible to secure recent
tgures. He finds that the net gain OF
all religious bodies in this country
during 1904 aggregated $50, ,S7s
commandments, 2,3l0 churches and
1874 ministers. In the matters of
communicates, this gain is 100, 900
more than DR.. Carroll reported for the
previous year, but the gain in churches
is d little more than 800 less than for
1903, while the gain in ministers has
fallen off by nearly 700 DR.. Carroll.
IN compiling his figures, has deducted
from the totals of all bodies the men,
bers held by them in foreign mission
lands, SO that his figures are for mem
bers in the United States only. The
grand total of communicates of all
| churches at the close of 1904 was 80
1881. In all bodies there were 1877, :
S48 churches and 149, 439 ministers.
In denominational families, Catho-
lies (eight bodies) rank first, with TO-
233, 1924 communicates; Methodists
seventeen bodies, second, with 6, 1885,
1888; Baptists (thirteen bodies,) third,
with 5,150. 815; Lutheran (twenty two
bodies, )fourth, with 1,7S9, 766; Presby-
terian (twelve bodies). fifth, with
1857, ,6s7; Disciples of Christ, sixth,
with 1888, 1865. All others rank below
| 1000, 600 in membership The relig-
ious bodies showing large gains in the
year just past are Roman Catholic,

Christ, 26, ,4S9; Lutherans, 1856 !;
Methodists, So, S44; Presbyterians, &c.

After the pike.

Pitman, N. j.. Jan. 26.-Since the
turnpike company, with John P.
Whitney as it's head, refused to sell
the right Of way to the seven miles of
road which it controls between Glass
borO and Mantua to the Public Service
Corporation for $l5, 900 for proposed
trolley line, citizens are talking OF
retaliating by compelling the turnpike
company to make such improvements
to the highway as are required by it's
charter.
Many nsers OF the road declare the
pike is not tollable, and that they will
not pay toll until it is put in better
conditions. This will cost the com
pany several hundred dollars.
The Township Committee has been
petitioned to look after the old roads
and many farmers have offered their
services free in improving roads which
they may use instead of the turnpike.
Their offer it is said has been ac-
cepted and the work of improving the
old road leading from Glassboro to
Pitmap will begin at once. This will
take hundreds OF dollars from the
turnpike company especially in sum-
mar when the travel to Alcyon Park
and tlle camp meeting is very heavy.
l1e Rnblic Service Corporation
cffered $i6, 600 for the right OF way
over the pike. The owners declared
they wouid not sell for less than $50, :
00c This was too much, decided the
trolley company and the proposed line
will be built over route formerly

INAUGURAL PLANS
LIKE THOSE OF 1901.

Washington, Jan. %. Governor
Stokes, OF New Jersey, will be in this
city on Saturday, January 2S. to at
tend the annual banquet of the Grid
iron Club, as the guest of George W.
Rouser, secretary for Senator Dryden.
Senator DRYDEN has been advised
that pension has been granted to
Mrs. Anna Murray, of Newark, the
widow OF q. q. Murray, at the rate
Of So month, and 50 month addl-
tional for a minor child.
The bill by Senator Kean
providing for an additional judge for
the United States District Court of
New Jersey, and passed by the Senate,
was designed to relieve Judge Lam
ming of the Immense amount OF work
that his court has been burdened with
Tor some months, and it will be OF
,enefitin the future, as it will prevent
She business being so congesued. Sen
tor Kean is being congratulated for
the speedy manner in which he has
gotten this measure through the Sen
Ate.
sSenators Kean and Dryden are work
!ng In the interests of the Jerseymen
il the diplomatic and consular service,
but it is understood, from good au-
shority, that the President is not like
" to give an additional place into the
State, for the present at least. In the
changes that may be made the only
hope for the Jerseymen will be pro-
motion Of some sort, and their claims
will be advocated by the two Senators,
and, it ID expected, with some assur-
ances OF being successful.
New Jersey organizations which ex-
peot to participate in the inaugural
parade IN March fourth will be inter-
ested in knowing that the line of
march Will be exactly as it was four
years ago, from the capitol up Penn
sylyania avenue, passing the Treasury
and White House, and then to be dis
missed. It will also be OF interest to
some Jersey people to know that the
immense grand has been aban-
doned, because of the opposition of
the military people, and stands will
be erected along the avenue in the
same2manner as in previous years.

Slept in Comfort U Under sn ow

0lcpt Au NoIui OFT u nQ6r Sn OW.
Orange, N. j., Jan. 27.-All through
the terrible storm of Wednesday night
Miss Lora Graves slept on an open
balcony at her home, No. 1902 William
street. When she awoke in the morn
ing she was buried under four inches
OF snow, yet to-day il anything she
seems the better for her experience.
Miss Graves, who is 20 years old,
has been taking the open air treatment
for the cure of pulmonary consump-
tion, and every night since last June
she has slept in bed on the balcony
OF her home.
When the treatment was started,
Miss Graves was so weak that it was
impossible for her to walk from one
room to another without assistance.
Her weight last June had fallen to
about 80 pounds; now she weighs III
pounds. Her cheeks are filled out and
there is healthy color in them that
one does not often see in the cheeks of
a person on whom tuberculosis has
secured hold.
After her experience of Wednesday
night she walked by herself to East
Orange and back through the. heavy
drifts.

Want-the Act.

The preponderance of sentiment in
Cumberland County is favorable to
ne abolishing of the spring elections
In the townships and making fall elec-
lions uniform throughout the county.
Those of Cumberland who are in at
tendance at the legislature are oppor-
tuned at all times to use their infu-
ence for the passage of the Gibbs act
already introduced. 1t is further de-
slrable that the legislature should
take prompt action so that the people
may know whether or not to prepare
for an election in March.

New Canning Machine.

Charles II. Ayars, Secretary and
Treasurer OF the the Ayars Machine
Company, OF Salem. has just invented
ard constructed at the works in that
CITY, new canning machine which is
q Gecided improvement over any of
the kind yet made. The new inyen-
tion is capping machine for use in
soldering the caps ON fruit cans. Mr..
Ayars. having heard that all machines
in the United States of this kind had
been bought up by a large Western
firm, he went to Washington, searched
the patents granted, came home and
in Juss eight days had the new ma.
chine in satisfactory working order.
The machine weighs 1000 pounds, is
thirty feet long and has capacity of
40, 600 cans per day. Mr.. Ayars gave
demonstration with the machine re-
Gently before several prominent can
ners OF the county and they all agreed
that the new invention was far ahead
OF any machine of its class on the
market. 1t is entirely automatic, TAX
ing the cans continuously from the
filling machine, wiping, fuxing and
soldering them without any handling
whatever. The machine will be
shipped with the other machinery by
the Company to the National Gamers
Convention which will be in session
at Columbus, Ohio, next month.
