STORY IN BRIEF.
The Development of the Church
in Greater New York.
Protestant Churches Remodel
led for Catholic Use.

The recent purchase Of the Knox
Presbyterian church, in East Seventy
second street, New York, for the pur-
pose Of transforming it into st. Johns
Church for Catholic Bohemians, and
the conversion of Methodist chapel
in East One Hundred and Twelfth
street, recall the fact that for over a
century the Catholic church in this city
has been constantly taking possession
of church edif1ces formerly used by
Professionals, says the New York Free
mans Journal. The progress north
ward from Ann street, where our pre-
decessors in the faith worshipped in
a small room before St. Peters, in Bar
clay street, was built, marks the steady
growth of the church on Manhattan
Island.
After worshipping in the Vauxhall,
in Warren street, and in other places,
the time Mt last arrived when the
Catholics felt that they were strong
enough financially to erect perman-
| ent church. This was in 1885. St.
Peters, in Barclay street, was reared
on a site consisting of five lots pur-
chased from the Trinity Corporation.
The century which has since elapsed
has witnessed complete transforma-
ton Of the neighborhood in which the
first permanent Catholic church in New
York was erected. But old st. Peters
remains the same. Its open doors Of
fer in the twentieth century a mute
invitation to the passers by to come
in and worship our Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament just as they did in
the eighteenth century.
In 1927 an Episcopalian church in
Ann street, near William, was bought
by the Catholics. Here Catholic
congregation worshipped up to 1885. In
that year the church, having become
unsafe, was torn down. Part Of the
congregation went to what was thea

the new st. James, which was built
in 1886. The members of the congre-
cation in Ann street who did not join
st. James parish attended the Church
of the TRANSPORTATION, which was To-
Gated on Chambers street on the site
of the present Emigrants' Savings
bank building. John Delmonico, Of the
well known Delmonico family, nego-
tiated in 1887 the purchase Of the Re-
formed Presbyterian church, which
stood on the site we have just men,
toned. Here the congregation of the
Church Of the TRANSPORTATION wor-
shipped until it moved further north
and took possession Of the present
church on the corner of Mott and Park
streets, which had been an Episcopal
church.
The process Of absorbing Protestant
churches went steadily on. In 1926
Grand and Ridge streets were away
up town. In that year the Seventh
Presbyterian church, which stood on
the corner of these two streets, was
purchased by Catholics and renamed
st. Mary's church, which was the pre-
decessor Of the present st. Mary's. It
was in 1884 that our German brothers
in the faith started their first con-
gregation in an unoccupied Baptist
church on the corner Of Pitt and De-
lancey. Two years later St. Nicholas
church, Second street and Avenue A,
was the outgrowth of the zeal Of the
congregation that first assembled in
the unoccupied Baptist church at Pitt
and Delaney streets.
The Church of the Nativity, Second
avenue, between Second and Third
streets, was purchased in 1912 from
Presbyterian congregation. st. An
drew's, at the corner of Duane and
City Hall Place, was built for Uni
versalist congregation in 1893. 1t be-
came the property of Catholics and in
1912 was dedicated as St. Andrews
church. st. AIMS, on East Twelfth
street, was first located on Eighth
street, when the congregation, in 1852,
purchased Presbyterian church. A
Methodist church in Sullivan street
was the first home Of the Franciscan
fathers when they began their mis-
sionary labors among Italian In the
west side almost forty vears a1n The
neighboring Italian Church Of Our
Lady Of Pompen was formerly q

cents. After being Presbyterian
place of worship for sixty-six years the
church corner Of Rutgers and Henry,
now known as st. Teresa's, became
Catholic church in 1863. From the
Plymouth Baptist church, in West
Fifty-first street, near Ninth avenue,
which became the property of Cath
olics in 1876, sprung the present par
ish Of the Sacred Heart. Two years
later the Methodist church at the cor
ner Of Forsyth and Stanton passed
into the possession Of the Polish Cath
Ollie congregation of St. Stanislaus.
In 1871 the Episcopal church of the
Annunciation was burned. In the
same year the site and ruins were
bought by French residents and the
Church of st. Vincent de Paul was
built thereon. In 1868 this congrega-
ton moved into its present church,

Catholic church, utilizing the basement

destroyed by fire in 1S4S. Thereupon

IMPERIAL FEDERATION
DISCUSSED IN LONDON
Australian ex-senator Expresses the
Opinion That Federation for War
Is Most Practicable Plan
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Feb 1S-The duke of
Argyle presided over meeting of the
Metropole this week when E. A. Har-
ney. ex-senator, Australian Common
wealth, read a paper on imperialism
From An Australian Standpoint"
Mr.. Harney, in the course of his
paper, said that all must be sensible
of the Importance, from Great Brit
aims point of view, of placing the rela-
tions of constituent members of the
empire upon a more secure and equit-
able basis. Several projects had been
suggested but none Of them had come
to anything. They seem to have only
emphasized the difficulties of the pro-
blem. Among these imperial fedora
tions have been earliest in the field and
had longest held it's ground. The real
difficulty lay in the attitude of the
parties
The consent of the colonies had al
ways been somehow taken for granted
>
at least so far as Australia was con-
cerned. Certainly imperial federation
there, as we'll as elsewhere, had been
constantly in the air, but it had never
come to earth. Federations were in
any circumstances the outcome of po-
litical eXigencies. They We're never
welcome. Although history offered
numerous instances of such combina-
tions, they had, as rule, been enter
tered into reluctantly. The Australian
was, perhaps an exception. That was in
many respects a spontaneous fusion
through internal attraction. No de-
duction favorable to the amalgamation
of the British empire could be drawn
from it.
Union for war seemed to have most
to commend it, but would the colonies
ever agree to a central control of
military affairs and to the payment
of their proper contribution? Speaking
from his knowledge of Australia, he
was bound to say NO" The point
was not what Australia ought to be,
but what she was disposed to do. The
trend of Australian opinion was not
towards any further subordination
of the authority to the mother country;
though Australia is not wanting in at
of the authority to the mother country,
tachment. When the colonies wished
for independence it could not be de-
MED them; but the wish would never
| arise so long as they were kept uncon-
scious of amy independence They
were so today, and he hoped they might
long remain so.

THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in Any Restaurant
or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large res
taurant at lunch or dinner time the
large number of hearty, vigorous old
men at the tables; men whose ages
run from 60 to so years; many of
them bald and all perhaps gray, but
none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation
or comment but nevertheless 1t is an
object lesson which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating you will OBJ
serve that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their
way through menu card Of new
tangled health foods; on the contrary
they seem to prefer juicy roast of
beef, properly turned lon of NUT
ton. and even the deadly broiled lob
ster is not altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good diges-
tion and plenty of wholesome food, and
not upon dieting and an endeayor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat,
coffee and many other good things are
rank poisons, but these cadaverous,
sickly looking individuals are a walk
ing condemnation of their own theo-
ries.
The matter in a nutshell is that If
the stomach secretes the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quantities
any wholesome food will be promptly
digested; If the stomach does not do
so, and certain foods cause distress,
one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's after each meal will remove all
difficulty, because they supply just
what every weak stomach lacks. pep
sin, hydro-chloride acid, diastase and
nuX.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels. and i'm fact are
not strictly medicine, as they act
almost entirely upon the food eaten,
digesting IL thoroughly, and thus give
much-needed rest and giving an ap-
petite for the next meal.
OF people who travel nine out of
ten use Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets,
knowing them TO be perfectly safe To
use at any time and also having found
out by experience that they are a safe
guard against indigestion in any form
and eating, as they have to, at ali
hours and all kinds of food. the trav.
cling public for years have pinned theil
faith to Stuart's Tablets
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full-sized packages, and any drug
gist from Maine to California, If his
opinion We're asked. viii say thai
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the mos
popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble.
