Fifty Years an Inmate.
A Star reporter found the place, so far
as water and whitewash could make it,
in the very best of condition. The floors
and walls were clean, with the exception
of one room which connects with the
colored dining room. This room has two
occupants. one a colored man who has
been an inmate for over fifty years. The
chair in which he is seated has been used
by him for fifty years. At the time Mr.
Rabbits father was the superintendent
this man dragged himself around in this
chair with one hand and took care of the
flower gardens by shoveling and turning
the dirt. For the last nine or ten years
he has been unable to leave the room on
account OF a crippled leg. The man has
an incurable disease and the odor from
his body and the room in which he lives
is as grand jury says 'unbearabe -
The other occupant of this room is an old
colored man. who Mr.. Rabbit says re-
fuses to take d bath. and has been known
to have as many as five shirts on at one
time, putting the clean one provided him
over the Soiled ones.
Views of a Trustee.
Mr.. H. Wilson Offutt. one of the trus-
tees of the almshouse. said:
my candid opinion is that we should
have a new almshouSe. The house we
are now using is in such repair that it
would be economy to build a new one. I

it was the last coronation that took place
in England with the Latin service of

Decay of Church Life.
From the Atlantic MONTH,


We make great mistake. ! think. in
attributing to irreligion the breaking
away from church life of large numbers
of intelligent and pure minded persons.
Whatever proportion of this is due to lax
morality or to the love of pleasure, there
is also much that arises from vague
sense of unreality in he p1sition ana
claims of the ministry.

most attractive features, and to enjoy this
alone thousands annually come within
our hospitable gates. 1t must not be
supposed. however. that the full enjoy
ment of this phase of our life is limited
to the higher official circles nor to the
very wealthy, for there are many smaller
circles within the great round of festivi-
ties which mark the season from begin

sons why the visitor has had such a
good time when he returns home to tell

Our intersecting street car lines. with
their system of transfers, are such that
