r N the spring Of 1896 President Pat

Washington and were taken to the
White House by Judge George Gray,
SO, then Senator from Delaware, in
order to present to President Cleveland
the invitation to deliver the chief ,ad-

tee SO far as to say he would do so,
II he could. Later, in August at Gray
Gables, he decided thai he could come.
On October 81, 1895, the President
and Mrs. Cleveland arrived in Prince
ton toward evening. The City Troop Of
Philadelphia, whose forbears had
served under Washington at the Bat
tie of Princeton. escorted them to
Prospect as the guests of President
and Mrs. Patton. 1t was his first visit
here. That evening he reviewed the
torchlight procession of students and
alumni, standing on the steps of Mas
sau Hall near the doorway where
Washington entered after the battle in
1777. The alumni and students to the
number of 1900, class by class, passed
in review with all the devices their in
genuity could suggest to make the pa

a night to remember-an hour wherein

NBwARk.s uNcHuRcHsD POPULATION.

The statistics of church membership and population in Newark submitted at
the fail meeting of the presbytery yesterday were approximate figures, and
largely conjecture, but there is no doubt of the fact that about a hundred and
nifty thousand of the whole population 10 not attend any church. The adult nom
attendants are mostly males. There are 1853 churches II twenty religious bodies
In our city an al average attendance of n thousand would be only 10000
with service in each church N a day. An average attendance of FIVE hundred
would MAKE a toal of $4,000. An average of two services a day. with different
attendance at each service would account Tor 5000 people, with a average of
edinces for ewarks population, but at the sam time ct a few oil the present
edinces have vacant seats at Sunday services. AS the Rev. DR. Iusk remarked
at the meeting yesterday should presents tendencies increase some churches will
