CHURCH DIES WITH RECTOR
Rev. Whitaker and His Wife Formed
the Congregation of Endowed
Edifice
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Feb. 9.--The Epis-
copal church at Norwood N. j., is no
more, the death of the rector, Rev.
Arthur Whitaker, removing the only
member the church has boosted for a
year.
The church and rectory were built
many years ago by the late President
Oakley of the Citizens National bank
of New York. The Oakleys formed the
greater part of the membership, a
daughter playing the organ, another
constituting the choir and the parents
comprising the congregation, with a
few of the neighbors. President Oakley
died, and interest in the church began
to lag. The remaining members of
the family moved away, but an en-
dowment fund was established allow
ing the rector an annual income of
$500. One by one the congregat ton
dropped out of sight, until the min
lister and his wife were left alone.
Mindful of the consideration under
which the church had been built the
rector and his wife met regularly every
Sunday in the church, the rector read
ing the service and his wife playing
the organ. The devotion of the couple
was much admired but the rector was
not popular and his friends were few.
A year ago Mrs. Whitaker, the rec
tors faithful wife, died Many thought
this would end the rector's visit to the
pretty stone church, erected at a cost
of $4,000. But until week ago Rev.
Mr.. Whitaker held service every Sun
day in the church, often alone. Once
in a while a neighbor would accom-
pany him. Typhoid fever claimed the
rector Sunday as a victim, and his
body will be taken to Albany for

The old superstition that a cat can
suck a baby's breath away is being
given as the cause of the sudden death
OF child in this city yesterday. The
parents have only two facts to present
as establishing that theory-namely,
that they own fine Persian cat and
the cat slept in the house. There is a
bare possibility that the cat jumped
into the cradle and smothered the baby
by lying across its chest. but even this
possibility is remote The probabilities
are that the child died suddenly Of
some disturbance OF its digestive or
gastronomie faculties, causing par
oxysm. 1t VIII perhaps be found that
death came from natural causes.
