For the First Time in History Number of It's Clergy in the United States Shows
 Decrease.
41 0USTED DURING YEAR
Two from Connecticut, for Causes Not Gipcn--An AbnormaIly High Death Rate This
 Year.

Boston, Dee. 2S,--For the first time. probably in lts history, the Episcopal church in the United States reports a decrease in the number of its clergy, due, in part to an unusually large list Of dispositions from Che priesthood and to an abnormally high death rate dur ing the past year The annual statis- ties show a total of 5,4ll clergy, d de- crease of 2 from l9O7 There were 135 deaths. an increase of 30, and 4l dispositions, an increase of 15.
 The increase in dispositions is ascribed to the action of sixteen or more of the clergy who resenting what they termed the pulpit canon adopted by the last general con- yention, entered the Roman Catholic church. The defectons occurred largely in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Illinois. Those deposcd from the priesthood in New England. for causes not given, were Rev. Edgar r. Davis, of Boston and Rev William II. Pear son and Rev N. T. Pratt, both of Con- necticut
 Rev Daniel C, Hinton, formerly rec tor of st. Aims church, Dorchester, and until recently attached to St. Mary's Memorial church, Pittaburg has been deposed from the priesthood by the bishop of that diocese
 The list of candidates for holy ore ders shows a decrease of IT, but the number of postulants Is greater by &l The number of lay readers increased by ll9. The total number of commute nicants is S9S,75G, an increase of 2A- 26O, or per cent, over that of last year The total contributions were $17952,50S
