VILLAGE FOR CLERGY.
Endowed Cottages Planned at Epis-
cOpal Cathedral In Washington.

Endowed Cottages Planned at EpfS-
cOpal Cathedral In Washington.
A movement for the establishment of
q clerical village by the building Of en-
dOwed cottages for aged and infirm
clergymen of the Episcopal church at
the National Cathedral of Saint Peter
and st. Paul in Washington has been
urged and has received the approval of
Bishop Satterlee, president of the ma
tiOnal cathedral foundation, says the
Washington Post. The Rev. Alfred J.
P. Mcclure is the originator of the
plan, for which he has enlisted strong
support The erection of the cottages
will be begun as soon as the necessary
funds are collected. 1t is proposed to
make the movement national in it's
scope
The site for the cottages will be the
commanding plots of ground on the
east and west sides of the cathedral
close, 400 feet above Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Each cottage will cost $4,000 and
will be built in Gothic style, in har-
mony with cathedral architecture. Cen
trail heating and kitchen arrangements
around a 'Quad" will be connected
with the cottages by cloiSters. UnGer
this plan $4,000 subscribed by private
individuals or churches will provide Il
home FOR a beloved rector as long as he
lives, ind then when he is gone afford a
home if necessary for those who serve
at his post after him. For long time
the problem of retiring aged clergy has
been a vexatious one in the American
Episcopal church, and this new plan
promises a satisfactory solution.
It is considered fitting reward to
bring these aged clergymen to Wash
ington, housing them in comfortable
cottages connected with the cathedral
by private gateways, making it posi-
Bile for them to attend and participate
In daily services and to teach in the
schools or minister in the hospitals of
the cathedral close, while at the same
time the literary and public life of the
capital will be open to them.
Committees soon will be formed in
the principal dioceses to take up the
work of interesting the church at large
in the movement for the relief of aged
men who have given laudable service
to the church.

Congressman Jenkins.

Congressman jenkins.
TIE Republican Voice OF New
Richmond, in its issue of December
18Th, has the following editorial
rz&smeerning the important position
.ssa2a by Congressman jenkins.
Hn ahe 54th congress. covering the
Hast swo years of Mr.. C!eveland's
sas.axa5Dis tration, Wisconsin had ten
republican memoirs and one chair
.snaD. Mr. Babcock, chairman OF the
& ssemaDistee on the District of Column
laxaia- In that congress, Maine had
ssoss republicans and held FIVE chair
.YxxzDsh ips of the most important
-sssgsEEI ttees OF the house. Mr. Reed
& being speaker ADD chairman OF the
ssoD mttee o. rules. Wisconsin now
has eleven members, ten republi-
rams. and has six. chairmanships,
and those members who are not
~gba5rmen, have excellent standings
on she best committees in the house.
Maine has now four republican
members and one small chairman
ship, not a member now that was a
member in the 54th congress- This
shows what change of membership
can accomplish. New York has
twenty -six republican members and
eleyen democrats, and has six chair
znaDships. Pennsylvania has thirty
one republican members and one
democrat and has eight chairman
ships.
Every person knows today. that
the strength and power OF members
Of congress, lies in the fact of long
service. States that constantly
change their representatives, cannot
have or require any standing in
congress. So that today, Wisconsin
has the same strength Ia the legis-
Ea15on Of the country as the great
state OF New York, and the positions
held by Wisconsin members are very
excellent. Mr.. Brown is chairman
