WOULD BE ON
RETIRED LIST.
Rev. William N. Trumhower,
Formerly of This City, Applies
to Conference.

JERSEY CITY, Air. Surprise
was caused yesterday at the Newark
Methods conference in the West
Side church, Jersey City, when Pre-
siding Elder Charles NJ. Anderson, of
the Jersey City districts, announced
that the Rev. William NJ. Trumbow-
er, pastor OF the Sixth street church,
Bayonne, has asked to be transferred
to the superannuated list.
The Rev. John NJ. Krantz, of Pat
erson, asked why such a young man
(Mr. Trumbower is not yet fifty years
old should be removed from the act
i've list of ministers. DR.. Anderson,
greatly embarrassed by the question
replied that the reasons given by Mr..
Trumbower, for seeking retirement,
would be given today during secret
session.
1t was learned from a member of
the Bayonne church that there is
considerable friction between certain
members of the congregation and
their pastor, who is considering two
Offers. 1t is reported that he will Ell
ther accept the secretaryship of one
of the Methodist Episcopal boards,
or become affiliated with a Methodist
publishing concern. The Rev. Mr..
Trumbower has been pastor of the
Sixth street church three years. In
all probability Newman II. Raymond,
lay preacher, will be called to the
Dastorate of the church.
Having served more than forty
years, and in compliance with their
own requests, the Rev. Joseph Dan
iels. of Ocean Grove; the Rev. Will
liam S. Galloway, of Tottenville, S. L.;
the Rev Henry NJ. Simpson, of Me-
tuchen, and the Rev. William H.
Haggerty, Of Hibernia, were trans
ferred 10 the supernumerary list.
After two years of probation, Ben
son S. Crowcroft, of Asbury Park, n.
j.; Charles C. Cain, of Sparrowbush.
n. Y; Frederick n. Sloan, of Barry
Vile, n. Y, and Thomas j. Clark, Jr.,
of Greenville and Centreville, n. Y,
were admitted as deacons. In address
ing the young men Bishop Hamilton
advised them mot to make use of the
Methodist ministry as a stepping
stone to the real estate or banking
business, whichever you can make
the most out of"

attends strictly 10 business"
Bishop Hamilton criticised those
whom he termed the vulgar rich
for their extravaganza and ostenta-
ton, and added: 'The lust for wealth.

but the struggle for immoderate
wealth is sinful"
Speaking of Thomas Dixon, author
of ''The Clansman," and The Leop-
ards Spots" Bishop Hamilton said
"The man who rails against poor
fellow who cannot help himself is un-
worthy the association of Christians.

A VICTORY FOR bloomfield.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Apr. T.
1t has developed since Charles A.
Bloomfield, of Metuchen, who has
been interested in the bridge SPAN
ming the Raritan river between Perth
Amboy and South Amboy, was here
the other day, that the war depart
ment, or rather Gen. A. Mackenzie,
has decided to make some conces-
sions. 1t appears from what can be
learned that a recommendation made
by Colonel Livermore had been over
looked.
Since that was taken up the chief
of engineers has decided that the
work of building the steel spans in
the bridge must be completed by De-
cember 81 of the present year. An
order to that effect will be signed,
and the county authorities will be
notified to that effect. This will, of
course, be regarded as a victory for
Mr.. Bloomfield. c. S. A.
According to a letter received by
Charles A. Bloomfield yesterday from
Secretary of War Taft, Mr.. Bloom
field wins his original contention for
n modification of the Perth Amboy
bridge.
no report of the matter was made
at Thursdays meeting of the free
holders. 1t is possible that the free
holders had not yet received their
notice from Washington.
Mr.. Bloomfield originally asked the
county for such modification of the
structure on the ground of safety to
navigation. He worked 5000
bond isslte for the steel portions
through the legislature. When he
found that the old freeholders were
disposed to turn practically the whole
sum over to Sandford e Harris for
three spans, when for $4,000 addi-
tiona! seven spans could be secured.
he fought against the proposed eX-
travagance, and enlarged his proposi-
tiOn to seven-span one.

Drudaery of clerkship.

Francis Hackett in The Reader.
Do not console yourself that, because
there are men glad to crawl into the
shelter of routine job, the clerk is
happy. "If a man has work to do which
he despises, which does not satisfy his
natural and rightful desire for pleasure
the greater part of his life must pass
unhappily and without self-respect."
.'Art-lacking labor" the drudgery or
clerks, lis not happy" And these things
which William Morris said twenty years
ago might have been written today or
the 1900 clerks who are the human pyra-
mid on which 200 successes in Field
wholesale house are supported. Fresh
from the side of these men with less
money than they can decently live on, less
leisure than education and self-respect de-
mand," doing their work lovelessly and
dishonesty, their ugly language SYM
Dol of their lives. II seems to me that
there is great work before society,
which creates the Fields as well as the
clerks, before it can become complacent
about the glories of commercial civiliza-
