NO DECISION MADE.
Rev. Asaph Wickes rector OF the
| Church OF the Good Shepard, made the
official announcement 10 the members
OF his congregation yesterday that he
had received a call 10 the rectorshiu
OF a church i'm Indiana, but he also
stated that he had reached no decision
| as yet regarding his course. The mens
! bers OF this church are very deslrous
that Rev. Mr.. Wickes shall remain In
Pawtucket and IL is believed that he
will be strongly urged not to accept
| the call to the middle west
| INTERESTING ADDRESS.
Rev T. Cleggart Skinner Of Baltimore.
| Md. was the speaker at the mems meet
| ing held in Y NJ. G.. A. hall yesterday
| afternoon and there was a large audience
| gathered there 10 listen 10 him. The
meeting was presided over by Frank l..
Gatchell and there was a service OF song
at the opening. The topic OF the rever-
end gentleman related 10 some OF the con-
dtions which confront mankind at the
present day He said tina. the people are
preoccupied with cares and worries and
giving too much attention TO the material
things forget or at least fail 10 give
attention TO their spiritual needs. In his
opinion the public do not hate God. but
they are selfish and too much bound up
in the coming affairs of life.
There is also another cry he said,
(which may be heard from these people
who became wrapped up In the cares OF
the world: namely. that their children
do not have religion. The blame for this,
II it Is so. should be laid at the door
OF the parents themselves In most cases.
as II is due TO the negligence of the latter
IN trying TO teach them 10 climb high
I'm the knowledge OF the world. and at
the same tirne forgetting to remind them
OF the knowledge TO be gained on the
spiritual side"
The speaker thought that the ways of
modern society resulted in a loss OF love
for religion because when people are alb
sorbed I'm social affairs there is no time
for anything else.
In conclusion he stated that the ques-
tion that presents itself to the world
was as 10 how much sin these people
committed Mans preoccupation may not
always be sinful. but 10 most always is
harmful as the more man acquires OF
the things OF this world the more he
wants. and as n natural sequence TO these
possessions OF 8 worldly nature he thinks
less Of God, as there is no room lort In his
thoughts beyond the material
TO ELECT A CHIEF MARSHAL.
There is to be a most important meet
ing OF the Central Trades and Labor union
this evening and IL will probably be very
largely attended The principal business
10 be considered Is the election OF a chief
marchal for the Labor day parade. The
selection OF a man 10 take charge of the
parade on Labor day always causes con-
siderable rivalry II Is seldom that II be-
comes bitter. but the various unions seek
TO gain the honor for themselves and this
year II Is said that this rivalry Is unusu-
ally strong. During the recent years the
chief marshal has been selected from the
Carpenters union. the Machinists union
and otner organizations of workers but
the Textile unions have thus far been
left out and as n result the workers I'm
| textiles are this year out to secure the
| honor for one OF their number
| The Carpenters union also have can
didate In the field and because OF this
| rivalry IL Is said that there has been
started n movement 20 make the selec-
| tion from one OF the labor organizations
which are not connected with the central
! body. Whether or not this movement will
result In anything Is one of the things
| which will he settled tonight
The two candidates which appear 10 be
| in the lead for the place now are Francis
| Mularky of the Textile union and
| Charles f. Gauthier Of the Carpenters
union.

BRIDGE ON FIRE AGAIN.

sary for the flremen 20 respond 10 a still

ture has caught lre at various times dur

continual fires have weakened the struc-
