Postmaster General Meyer, discuss

Great Britain, said that it would enor-

"The mail bags will fill quickly

Meyer. He smiled. "If such rush

Some years ago an old fellow was
appointed postmaster of the small VII

of Germany, 1t was reported at the

charge of the naval end of England's

INCOME OF TRINITY CHURCH.
Derives Revenue from Dlsgraceful and
Unhealthy Tenements.

Trinity church is the holder of enc
of the greatest estates in New YORK
or in the country, says Charles Z.
Russell. in Everybody's. 1t owns in
the city property worth, according to
different esumauors, from $oV,JVV,UUO
an enormous revenue, the amount OF
which is never made public. For many
years no investigator has been able TO
obtain any more definite knowledge
of these matters than that this is the
wealth of Trinity which she holds for
good purposes. How comes it that
on the east side of New York have
been built in recent years bright,
clean, tireproof and sanitary flats, in
such numbers that certain regions
have been transformed by them, and
life for those that dwell in them has
been changed from direst misery to
something almost suggestive of de-
cency, while Trinity has done nothing
of the kind?
How comes it that the Astor estate
owner of hundreds of tenements, has
pursued for years one settled policy
of improvement for the benefit of the
tenants and the Trinity tenants have
been left to shift for themselves?
The Astor estate maintains no chart
ties; it has no missions, no hospitals,
no beds and no Sunday school excur-
sions; yet l am perfectly certain that
the balance of actual good in the world
is in it's favor; / am perfectly certain
that to obliterate one court that breeds
tuberculosis is better than to spend
$4,000 a year on organ music, and
that to provide a tenement with fire
escapes is better than to preach a
sermon of remote and genteel theol-
ogy. The management of the Astor
estate tenements indicates what even
a small measure of civilization can do
in the midst of barbarous conditions
the management of the Trinity tene'
ments shows what callous neglect can
do to further and aggravate condi.
tions.
| To be sure, all tenement houses are
| bad, | know that; all tenement
houses are terrific indictments of the
conditions of grab and gain and splen
dor and shame that we tolerate.
And if the tenement, speaking gen
orally, works i'll, Trinity's tenements
must be a matter of grave concern tc
us ALL Trinity's tenements must work
more than common i'll, for they are
the worst tenements in New York.

Tropical Fish in Northern Waters.

During the last few days an i'm
mense school of barracuda, semi
tropical fish, as well as Spanish mack
erel, has appeared in the waters just
off the ocean beach near the site of
the old Cliff house. Every morning
large numbers of these fish swim up
to the beach at high tide and when
the ebb sets in many of them are un-
able to get back to deep water and are
left on the sand by the retreating
waves. During the last week the resi-
dents of the beach have been picking
them up by the score every morning
The barracuda frequent the waters

great numbers, but are seldom seen
this far north, and the presence of
this large school is difficult to account
for 1t is q fish Of silver gray color,
often three or four feet in length, with

Another national park is likely to be
added to the domains of the United
States at the next session of congress.
The senate committee on public lands
has reported in favor Of taking the
wild and beautiful glacier region of
the continental divide in Montana-a
tract comprising nearly a million
acres The region contains numerous
peaks from 5000 to 10000 feet in
height, and about GO glaciers The
large number of big game animals,
such as Rocky mountain white goats,
bighorn, grizzly, deer elk and moose,
suggests the value Of reserving the
tract as breeding ground for the sur
rounding region. The name proposed
is the Glacier National park.
