The Rev. George Clark Houghton, rector
OF the Church OF the Transfguration-the
Little Church Around the Corner-an-
nounoed yesterday that a mortuary chapel
may be erected in the church close by No

the late Rev. DR.. George Hendric Houghton,
founder of the parish, who died on No
vember II, 1897. Subscriptions ave been
received and plans for the chapel have been
drawn. The chapel will cost about s1l 900.
In the last few years, said DR.. Houghton
yesterday, "there nave been Bishops. deans,
priests. Judges and other distinguished per-
sons who have died in distant cities and
rural districts abroad and in this country,
and we have done what we could to give
their relics a fitting asylum, but this can
be lone only in q special place dedicated
to that one purpose. Ii is true that the
whole church and many Of the parts are
memorials OF the founder. but the mortuary
chapel would be a distinctive feature, and
| believe that 1t would be a beautiful memo
rial to the late rector to erect a chapel
which would be open to the use Of families
of every Christian belief, q temporary asy-
Ium for the remains OF those awaiting
burial. One man has given 81 900 and
other subscriptions have been made"
DR.. Houghton sent out yesterday q cir
cular letter to his parishioners and friends
OF the church asking for subscriptions and
their approval Of his suggestion to erect
