Washington, April 26 Representa-
tive Burton Of Delaware, wants Con-
gress to reimburse the heirs Of Col.
Henry Fisher, Of Revolutionary fame,
for the assistance, financial and other
wise, he rendered Captain John Paul
Jones, the founder of the American
navy, who, with his crew, we're in a
destitute condition upon their arrival
in the United States frigate Arie in
l7Sl, at the entrance of Delaware Bay.
Colonel Fisher, who was in com
mand Of the Delaware and vicinity
when Captain Jones arrived in this
country, loaned the latter e4O0 los
to purchase food for his men. For
this Colonel Fisher was never paid by
the government, it being stated that
Congress was without means as that
time to meet the obligation.
With view to settling this old debt,
Congressman Burton yesterday intro
duced a resolution which sets forth in
great detail the services rendered not
only to Captain Jones and his starving
crew, but also our naval French allies
IN the War of the Revolution. The
resolution asks that all accounts, pa.
pers and documents now in the posses.
SION Of the government relating t
Colonel Fisher be sent to Congress, 81
tnat an appropriation may be secured
at THIS session to pay the claim.

HOW rR1E1rY's DEBT WAS PAID.
The Work Of Raising the Fund Describe
BY Ractor Il. M Kirkua.

The Work Of Raising the Fund Described
by Rector !. NJ. Kirkus.
As has been announced, the $4,000
required to pay the debt on Trinity Z.
Il. Church was raised by Easter and
everything is in shape for the consecra-
tion OF the church on May 18th Rev
4. NJ. kirl1us, rector of the church, gives
the following interesting description Of
the manner in which the money was
raised;
Il want TO record that 246 persons
participated in this offering by actual
subscription; los Of them IN advance of
Easter Day, and the remaining 7S on
Easter Day by the use Of the envelopes
which had been distributed for the pur-
pose beforehand. Many of these sub
scriptions we're family contributions, or
the gift OF husband and wife; hence it
means that by far the majority OF the
parishioners, old and young, rich and
poor. participated in the Offering. Out
side Of the envelopes about $50 was con-
tributed, representing large number Of
additional participants who withheld
their names. The whole Offering in
cluded only S53.74 in specie.
"Now nothing could be more signii-
cant than these facts; for q compare
lively few weeks ago there were scores
Of people in the parish who would have
been perfectly satisfied to see the whole
work accomplished by a few / further
believe that the willing few would have
been forthcoming to assume the whole
burden il they had been pressed to do 50;
but that would have been q real calamity
70 the parish. Now everybody has
participated and everybody has been
accordingly blessed; and mark my words,
the chief blessing 70 the parish is still
70 come and Will be something quite
distinct from lifting the mortgage from
the church.
"When the money was counted and
1 the subscription list checked up, it was
found that only 5000 was lacking of the
| $4,000 needed 10 pay the debt. OF
this amount $500 was covered by sub
scriptions which we're made payable a
little later on; the other $500 repre-
sented the entire deficit, and was
promptly covered by three checks oi
500 each, contributed by three Of the
original thousand dollar subscribers.
This means that l6S promises to pay
were actually redeemed without .
single disappointment at the time agreed
upon, and that only $500, all Of It per
fectly good, remains still to be collected
think any experienced iinancier vii
agree that this is remarkable circum,
stance, and that every experienced
clergyman will agree that il is a happy
indication Of genuine interest and loyaly
on the part Of those people Of whom 4
can be recorded"
The money was subscribed as follows
One contribution of $500, 1880; ;
contributions Of 81 100, s., 800; 2 con
tributions of 81 900, $1,000; contribu

The acoustic system at Union
Methodist Episcopal Church is proving
successful. Some people say they hear
the entire service, something they have
not enjoyed for years. There are also
many requests for the use Of the phones
from those who are unable to attend

In placing the system in the church It
was not the intention to encourage able

brighten and broaden the lives Of those
who were unable to 60 out and to help
those who are in good health, but deaf.
The church and the d. & A. telephone
company have gone TO considerable
trouble and expense to install the service.
Those who are afflicted with defective
hearing are cordially invited to attend
services and request the ushers to show
