.REVM0RCAN DIX DEAD
Rector of Trinity Parish, New
 York, Forty-six Years.
MADE FIGHT AGAINST DIVORCE
Would Not Permit Remarriase In Any
 of His Parish Churehes-Son of Gen
 eral John A. Dix of Civil War Fame, Who Sent Flag Message.

~vvHS S0"e "SeSaSS'
 New York, April 30.-Dr. Morgan Dix, the distinguished rector of Trini- ty parish, died in the rectory, 27 West Twenty-fifth street. His death was attributed to heart trouble. aggravated by twenty years of suffering from asthma.
 In spite of his ills and his frail body, worn but unbent by elghty-one years, Dr. Dix retained his mental vigor to ed with his accustomed vigor his last sermon.
 Dr. Dix was one of the most dis tinguished Episcopal clergymen of America and among the country's most scholarly men. He was the son of General John A. Dix, former gov ernor of New York. who uttered the famous order. If any man dares to haul down the American flag shoot him on the spot" Dr. Dix was born in New York in 1927, was educated in Columbia college and the Geneva Theo- logical seminary and by travel and study abroad. He was ordained q priest in Philadelphia in 1853 by Bish- op Alonzo Potter, and in 1855 he formed his permanent association with Trinity parish, first as assistant minister in 1S55, four years later as assistant rector and as rector in 1862.
 MoIder of Public Opinion.
 As a maker and molder of public opinion in New York Dr. Dix stood for half century of earnest and wig orous effort as the exponent of con- servative reform.
 pr. Dix was unalterably opposed to divorce, and in 1904, after the Episco- pal church in America refused to take the decisive stand against the divorce evil. he led his parish in declaring that no divorced person whatsoever should be married in any of it's churches.
 To music and art, both in and out of the church, pr. Dix found time from his literary and clerical tasks to give much attention. In the manage ment of Trinity's great estate Dr. Dix developed what business men recog. nized as unusual judgment in finan. cial affairs His personal fortune, built on the foundation left by his ia ther, was large, his personal tax as sessment being $s0,000 several years ago.

and ask him"
So Silly the donkey explained the affair to the
rabbit, who sat up attenvey and scratched his ear
looking more foolish than ever.
That is very complicated" he remarked when the
donkey had finished. Would you mind saying it
over again 1t is MT quite clear to me-
Well Silly repeated the story at length, explaining
it all very carefully
Dear, dear" said the rabbit that is very curious
! do not quite understand yet how you came to be
in the trap"
Il MT in the trap" cried Silly at was the
lion"
"Oh yes = the lion" replied the rabbit How
stupid of mel But, really could understand it bet
ter, know, if went right to the place where it
happened"
The lion rather vexed at the DELAY but he
could think of reasonable excuse so off the three
went up the road, and presently they came to the
trap again.
Now" said the rabbit eff you will Just saw that
all over again from the beginning, think can I'M
derstand it, which Silly did, while the lion waited
hungrily wondering if he had MT better eat his din
her and breakfast together.
Now see!' the rabbit cried. 1.-THE lion was
walking down the road when he saw the trap"
No nor interrupted Silly. Il was walking down
the road, and saw the lion in the trap"
oh yes; of course" said the rabbit. "You were
walking in the trap, and the lion saw"
NO no, no! stupid thing!" reared the lion
Can't you understand anything7"
Dear. dear, my poor brainl cried the rabbit Il
don't believe / shall ever understand it."
Yes, you shall, though" the lion growled, for he
was very angry at such stupidity. "You shall I'M

horribly.
Well" whned the miserable donkey, "all I can
say is that it is unfair, and any l might ask to

The lion. greatly enraged at this. was about to be-

that the villagers had heard the rumpus long be-
