GROWTH OF CHURCHES.
Eleven Million More Protesting Christ
ians than in 1890.

Statistics compiled by Rev. DR.. n. X.
Carroll and Rev. DIR. D. l.. Leonard up
set the popular impression that the peo-
pie Of the United States are not rs re-
ligious as they used to be, and show that
the membership of the Christian churches
is increasing more rapidly than the popu-
lation of the United States, notwithstand-
ing the enormous immi grafton, which now
amounts to three-Quarters of a million a
year.
According to the calculations of the
census bureau, the annual increase in
population is 1,S7 per cent, while the in
crease in church membership for the year
1904 was a trife more rapid, being 1872
per cent. The net gain of all Christian
denominations was 5S2,S7S communi-
cants, a slight falling off from the gain
in 1908. There was an increase of 2,310
churches and 1,674 clergymen during the
year.
The increase in communicates from
1890 to 1904 was 11,004,41 or 1856
per cent while the increase in population
was 17,749, 100, or 2S.34 per cent.
The following table will show the nu-
merical strength Of the several largest
denominations in the United States in
1904, as compared with 1890:

Within the shelter Of his arm,
Grief-bowed, and heard him rev'rent say!
GOD keep my little girl from harmY'
And then his column marched~away.
He fell with broken blade In hand.
Upon his heart pictured face,
His generous foes could understand
They left the trife In It's place;
They answered thus his eyes command
He lies within a grave unknown,
Somewhere beneath the Southern stars:
She sits, with whitened hair, alone.
His wound was death-hers shows ne

And all the burdened years have flown.
The frightening years have gently flown:
'God keeps her. in his own right hand.
She says, "Fame sometimes finds its own
Some men are great-my love was grandl
Can such as he be left unknownY
With happy eyes she sits alone,
This latest Of Memorial days;

She smiles, "My love comes to his own

steps for?"

lady, land I'll tell you what it is and

er was soldier, and when the war was
over he brought home a lot of cannon
balls and had them put all into one great,
big ball and put it up at the head Of the
stairs, so he could see it. He was Grip
pied and didn't get downstairs much,
but he was very fond of the relic. When
he died he gave it to me and also gave me
bag of gold. Mercy on me! What do
you want?'
The last remark was addressed to
tramp who stood in the open doorway.
II only want something to eat,
ma am" he said, in tone which he tried
to make humble. 'I'm very hungry,
ma am"
Here, you take this" said Miss Me-
LISA sharply, handing some bread and
meat, ''and get along about your bust
ness. You ought to be working, instead
of begging"
The tramp took the proffered food and
muttering some thanks, shambled out of
the yard Miss Melissa watched him I'M
til he disappeared down the road. Then
she continued: "As I was saying, my
father told me there was bag of gold,
but the poor man was so weak and near
ly gone that I couldn't make out where
it was. I've searched high and low since
then, but could never find it. Maybe he
was only dreaming"

trifie softer. Tell me what is your
name and where you live"
my names Bob Marsh, ma'am," re-
piled the boy, somewhat Modified, "and I
don't live nowhere now. l used to live
down in Rocky Point when mother was
alive, but now I amt got no home"
Miss Melissa lived alone in a little cot
tage further down the road, and she
hated boys. Yet this boy who stood be-
fore her with his brave, blue eyes, which
had looked straight into hers, with his
evident love for his lost mother, appealed
strangely to her and stirred within her
breast memories of the almost forgotten
past when a little lad just about as old
as this one had come into her life to
bring brightness and Joy. 1t was her
only sisters child, and he had lived with
her until he was II years of age, when
his father had taken him away to the
West
Come with me-" she said kindly,
hardly recognizing her own voice.
Bob was also surprised at the altered
tone of the old lady, but felt instructive
" that she wanted to be friend. Ac-
cordingly he trudged home with her.
Miss Melissa did not do anything half
way. and Bob went through process
of cleansing that made him ache. Then
his old clothes were thrown out on the
ash heap and some of her nephew's gar
ments, which the old lady had cherished,
were placed upon him. It was surprising
to note the transformation that bath
and some Of her nephew's clothes
wrought in Bob's appearance.
"Miss Mlissa," said Bob one day as

The Old Common Boil

"What's the matter with you" sharp
n inquired Miss Melissa Short.
The boy was standing by the fence, his
face covered by his hands, and evidently
Ne was crying. He was only about 10
years of age, his clothes were threadbare
and tattered and the shoes he wore COW
axed only part of his small feet.
Miss Melissa was, unlike her surname,
rail- and spare, with sharp features and
keen, piercing gray eyes that looked
through a pair of iron trimmed spectacles.
"I'm only cryin'," answered the boy
Ia q resentful tone, brushing away the
aears and looking Miss Melissa straight
n the eyes. There amt no law against
Bryin' is there?''
Unconsciously the lad had taken the
sally way to reach the old lady's regard
u he had begged for help or told a pitt
aal tale of suffering and want, Miss Me-
zSsa would in all probability have passed
- and left him where he was.

ed. And in the end his crafty and slug
gish nature took the upper hand.
AS he was leaving the court room
Hoch cast aside the serene for the de-
risive. He said almost humorously:
'Well, this is the end of old John
Hoch"
A few minutes later, as he stood In
his cell, he turned to group of specta-
tors and added
Gentlemen. l hope you are satisfied,
for John Hoch is going to be hanged"
Asked if he hoped for a new trial,
Hoch replied with seeming sincerity:
"What is the use? Let them hang me
quick. l am innocent. What beautiful
thing it is for one to go to his grave
innocent"
Hoch's career is peculiar in the annals
of crime. From what the Chicago police
have been able to learn of the mans
past he has made matrimony his source
of living for nearly ten years, making a
speciality of German widows of the work
ing class, whom he welded and then de-
serted after securing their savings In
several instances his wives have died
soon after marriage, under circumstances
as peculiar as those surrounding the
death of Mrs. Welcker- Hoch, for whose
murder he was tried.
Inspector Shippy, who assisted In I'M
travelling the Hoch mystery, said that in
his opinion Hoch had murdered five wom-
en-. 81 am satisfied from the evidence
in hand that Hoch not only poisoned
Mrs. Welcker Hoch, but four other wom-
en- whom he had married." said the In

Jurors Return a Verdict OF Murder
Against the Confessed Bigamist.


Against the Confessed Bigamist.
Justice fell heavily upon Johann Hoch,
poisoner and bigamist, in Chicago Friday
afternoon, when, by the agreement of
the twelve men who had heard the evil
dence against him, the death penalty was
imposed.
Three ballots were taken by the jur-
ors. The first was unanimous as to
Hoch's guilt; the second concerned the
nature of the punishment, and stood ten
for death and two for life Imprisonment;
the third was unanimous for the death
penalty.
Hoch heard the jury's verdict with
ashen face. He convulsively grasped the
arms of his chair, then made studied
effort to be Indifferent. But it was evil
dent he was undergoing fearful ordeal

Ashamed Of Catholic Pictures.

I'VE are very sorry to be obliged
to admit says the Paulist Calendar,
that there are Catholics SO full Of
human respect, so narrow and uncul-
tured withal. that they exclude sacred
pictures from prominence in their
houses, lest they be reckoned among
the devout, or annoy the non-Catho-
lie or infidel guest. They do not fear
to offend pure eyes with dangerously
suggestive pagan pictures, or refined
tastes with the banalties of some
fleeting fashion in art. They have not
sufficient common sense or fineness
of feeling to understand what they are
shutting out of their lives and those
of their children by banishing tho
Blessed Mother and the Divine Child.
Wherever the pictures Of the Divine
Redeemer, Or His Blessed Mother and
the saints abound in the household,
faith is strong, and the sinful mortal,
though, as the poet says, he trip and
fall, yet shall not blind his soul with
clay"

Lord Clarendon's wife was rot the
only lady of rank who pursued at one
time the ancient and honorable pro-
fession of laundress. The great
Duke of Albemarle, who restored
Charles the Second, was married to
Nan Charges, who washed for hin,
when he was a prisoner in the Tower.
Her mother was one Of band famous
in song:
Have you ne'er heard the name.
Have you meier heard the fame.
OF the six women BARRIERS who live in

It should be kept in mind that one
William r. Hearst who Is now run
ming for Mayor Of the City of New
York against the regularly nominated
Democratic candidate is the same man
who q little more than a year ago was
engaged in a campaign in which he
represented himself as entitled to a
Democratic nomination for president
on the grounds Of his real Democracy.
In thirty-one districts In the City Of
New York this so-called real Demo-
erat has caused the Republican NOM
inees for the Legislature to be endorsed
BY his forces. Benjamin B. Odell is
the undisputed Republican boss of the
state of New York His object is to
control the Legislature Of that state.
Why did the Hearst crowd give their
endorsement to the Republican candi-
date for the Legislature? Is there an
understanding between Mr.. Hearst and
Odell? why does Mr.. Hearst find it
possible to get along with Odell and
not with Murphy? There will be some
at least to ask those questions. Per-
haps the failure Of Tammany to sup
port the leader Of yellow-journalism
IA his campaign for the Democratic
Snomination for president has some
thing to do with that patriots present
