Jackson and John Hutton. The Rev.
Kensey Johns Hammond. rector Of
Trinity. Moundsville, West Virginia,
was called and accepted. entering on
his duties on the last Sunday in June.
Twenty-eight persons communed that
day. and a Sunday night service was
begun. In August the parish was in
corporated, and IN December an addi-
tional hundred feet OF ground was ac-
cepted from the donors of the church
lot. on which a handsome rectory was
built the next year. Sunday school
was organized in February under the
superintendence of John Bradley.
In 1890 the rectory was formally
opened with a reception for the congre-
cation. A Darochial mission was held
the next year by DR.. Funsten. now
bishop Of Boise. At two intervals since
like helpful missions were held by tho
Rev. John N. Matthews. The rectory
was finally paid for in 1898 by an
Easter Offering Of S2O9G.S1; and the next
year two offerings We're received for n
new church building fund In 1895, ~
the extension of the city limits. I'M
manuel became city parish. In 1898
the tenth anniversary of its life was
appropriately celebrated in the parish,
and that following year the Whining
ton Archdeaconry was entertained.
During the summer of S99 the church
was enlarged to double its former size.
Through the courtesy of Brandywine
Lodge, 1. O. O. T.. services were held
in their hall during the rebuilding, and
they worshipped in Emmanuel in Oc-
tober after the work was completed.
In 1908 a pipe organ was placed in tho
church. and the parish entertained tho
Diocesan Sunday School Institute. The
saddest chapter OF this history was
written in 1904 in recording the death
of the senior warden and treasurer, w.
r. BrnclSle. To his wise and constaus
faithfulness it's prosperity was humanity
due. During the winter following the
Mems Guild kept a reading room open
each evening free o all who would
use IT, Two most interesting lectures
were given during the winter on India
and Germany by members Of the guild
In 1905 the Diocesan Convention met
here for the first time. The occasion
will be remembered for the adoption Of
a new Diocesan Constitution and
Canons. During the Lenten season for
a dozen years visiting clsrgymen have
oficiated here each Wednesday night.
and the last two years the rector has
held MONDAY brief services at Rockford
Mills
The growth of the parish has been In
proportion to the growth Of the popu-
lation. steady and encouraging. The

10 o'clock yesterday morning, when the
landlady forced the door after fall
ing to receive response from the oc-

Baxter was lying with his body half
on the floor and half on the bed. Near
by was half empty package of rough

a number of bruises that had the ap-
pearance of having been recently made.
1t is supposed these contusions were
made when the man fell on his face
while suffering from the effects of the
poison.
Little is known regarding the history
of the dead man. All letters had been
destroyed and the laundry marks on
his clothing had been obliterated.
He registered at the rooming house
Saturday and was not known by the
other roomers. Lack of employment is
thought to have caused him to take
his own life. No money was found in
his effects.
The body was taken to the under

"NEW DEAL" IS MADE
FORDEMOCRATICCL CLUB
CLARK AND CAKE ASKED TO
QUIT CLUB ROOMS
"lnformar' Action of Directors VINO
Met at Mayors Office Yesterday.
George Hand to Take
Charge?

According to reports of a meeting
of the board of directors OF the pelh
ocratic club of Los Angeles, held az
the office of Mayor Harper yesterday
made for that organization in the
future. % .ha
Smarting under the criticism OF the
clnh management and the charge Oh
gambling the directors decided that
the elimination of %. T. (Patsy) Clark
and Captain George M. Cake from
authority in the clubs home in the
Germain building on South Spring
street would be the one thing needed
to dismiss the charges and put the
CLUB on a higher plane.
consequently, it is asserted, PATSY
Clark and Captain Cake were notihed
last night that they were persona non
grata. -,
club and Cake has been regarded as
his right hand AS steward Clark
operated the bar and, 1t is alleged,
permitted card playing for real money:
The game was known as Dlack jack,
but those who played 1T saw no an
ference between it and draw poker.
The Unsuitable NAV of the kitty was
well fed, it is alleged. as a result or
the privilege being authorized by
Clark. The limit" was ethereal.
Twice police visited the rooms of
the club and the members VINO ulu
not sympathize with such practices
say they should have maintained con-
slant espionage. Members who found
a club with locked doors, a sliding
wicket and a system of signal knock
ing naturally grew suspicious that the
purpose to promote Democracy was
being lost sight of. Hence repeated
complaints.
The meeting of the directors yes
terday is understood to have been for
the express purpose of Kidding the or
ganization of those members who,
they believe were debauching its
privileges. The action is reported to
have been nanimous-positively so, 1t
is declared.
Having settled that Clark and Cake
must leave the directors discussed a
new steward. The new one is to keep
the club purely on a social basis and
is to be instructed to not permit
gambling even in the most trivial
form. In discussing the new steward
ship the name of George r. Hand, a
broker in the Citizens National Bank
building, was used. 1t is stated, how
ever, that no decision was reached,
although the preference for Mr.. Hand
seemed to be apparent.
Mayor Harper said last night that
the report that the directors had re-
yoked the membership or authority of
either Clark or Cake was not correct.
He said. this had been discussed at
an informal meeting of some of the
directors, but that he did not UNDER
stand any action had been taken. He
said he understood that the resigna-
tions of both were in the hands of a
director and that this process would
settle all questions affecting them.
