what is your trouble about, any
way?"
: "Oh, about various things
about handling money, suppose?'
well yes, and about attending to
the business of the church"
"DO you think the men are dishOn-
est?"
'Well no, I do not doubt their YER
acity and honesty, as much as 1 do
their ability"
Their ability?'
"Yes, their ability. and their ideas
of bookkeeping and making their
statements to. the church. this I con
slider the chief cause Of the trouble"
What reason have you for doubt
ing their ability"
They have stated things to the
people, that have been the source OF
confusion. Now, when the parsonage
was built. they stated in booklet
given to the people, that the price OF
the building would be s., 435, of which
they had on hand $1,O40. They stated
also, in the same pamphlet that all
the money that was owing on the par
sonage was $1,000. This amount had
been borrowed from the bank, and
would have left the people. compare.

who made this statement, and
managed the building of the parson

They had building committee OF
five, Mr. Dillingham;. being the gener
al manager, and was the author of the
statement .
Did this statement prove to be cor

by no means. for ia less than 90
days after the publication of this

fthis there was floating debt Of about
$500. of which the people as a whole,
knew nothing. Instead 6i the debt
being only $1,000, as their pamphlet
stated, the entire debt to-day is ap.
prOximately $1,000
Well, did the people know this??,'
No, and many do not know it to

No. sir.

Princess Gowns Popular

From all accounts, and the taking in
to consideration Of the inevitable law
of evolution, it is not difficult to make
up ones mind as to the fashions that
will prevail this fall and winter The
growing vogue Of the princesse dress
abroad points indisputably to its in
creased favor here. Both 1t and the
princesse skirt are modes to reckon
with. The princesse dress is remark
ably we'll adapted to all fine wear.
For carriage dresses, for receptions,
for afternoon costumes, and for even
ing wear 1t Is not to be excelled. No
doubt many promenade costumes will
be evolved. dresses charmingly suited
to matinees, and the fashionable
promenade. 1t should be remembered,
however, that dresses on princesse lines
are distinctly dressy, and cannot serve
in place of an ordinary coat suit.
A princesse dress as a second dress,
dress which comes next in utility to
the coat suit, will be found desirable.
Done in fine cloth, 1t will be both
handsome and graceful, If we'll cut and
worn. 1t requires rather a good fig
ure, and should not be attempted by
either the very stout or the very angu-
lar woman. 1t inevitably emphasizes
the wearer one way or the other.

Rapid progress Is being made by tho
contractors engaged in tunnelling the
East river from Manhattan to Long
Island for the big Belmont railway
tunnel. A shaft has been sunk through
Mani War Rock, south Of Blackwelrs s
Island, and another shaft has been
sunk In the heart of old Long Island
City, now in Queens Borough. These
shafts have gone down thirty feet, and
pumping machinery is being put In
place to take care of the thrush Of
water when the river level is reached.
Permission for the shaft on Man-o'-
War Rock had to be secured Of the
war department. The work there will
be tedious, the engineers admit, but
they will have the advantage of a solid
rock wall to protect the workmen, and
the completion of the tunnel will be
facilitated because the men can be
| constructing from both directions.
When the tunnel Is finished, Manhat-
tan and Queens Boroughs will have
