HAS ZONE GOOD WORK IN
NEW ST. LOUIS PARISH
Rev. Stephen Sherman, Former Pastor
of ST. Athanaslus', Has Built New
. and Handsome Reetory
and Church

Word has reached Los Angeles of the
marked success of one of the former
prominent Episcopal rectors of this
city, Rev. Stephen Sherman, who left
Los Angeles two years ago to take up
a larger work in st. Louis, Mo. During
that short time Rev. Mr., Sherman has
built new rectory, which is just COM
pleted, and also a commodious new
church for st. Johns parish on Arsenal
street, facing Tower Grove park, one OF
the most beautiful parks in that city.
This church is of iron pressed brick,
with white sandstone trimmings and a
red tile roof. The parish building was
completed some time ago and services
are being held there. In September the
new church will be dedicated, furnished
completely, the finances of the parish
being in good condition.
Mr.. Sherman was one of the most
prominent Episcopal rectors in Los
Angeles, and although he was here only
a little more than two years he did ex-
cellent work at st. Athanasius parish,
building the rectory and greatly en-
larging the church building. His was
constructive as we'll as a spiritual work,
and this he has continued in st. Louis.
Mrs. Sherman shared her husband 8
popularity, and they left many ardent
friends in the Angel city who will be
glad to know of their success in the
east.
Mrs. Sherman was dangerously Ill
last winter, and during the spring she
and her husband enjoyed a trip of two
and a half months in the Mediter-
ranean visiting Italy and Sicily. This
greatly benefited her health and she
has now recovered entirely.

GEORGE WINGFIELD AND
BRIDE IN LOS ANGELES
GoIdfieId Mining Magnate Arrives from
San Francisco and viii Leave
Shortly on Tour of
the World

George Wingf1eld and the bride who
married him, in spite of "the other
woman" reached Los Angeles yester-
day morning and took apartments at
the Alexandria. They will remain here
a few days before taking a train for
New York. From there they will sail
for Europe and tour the continent in
motor car.
Wingfield and Miss Maud Murdoch,
daughter of Robert Murdoch, cashier
and general manager of the United
States National bank of San Francisco,
were married in that city Thursday at
the home of the brides parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wingfield drove about
the city yesterday in an auto and in
the evening attended a performance at
one of the theaters. Mrs. Wingfield Is
tall, slender and decided brunette.
1t is probable that their honeymoon
trip will extend around the world and
that San Francisco will be reached via
Japan early next year. On their re-
turn they will live in Goldfield, where
Mr.. Wingfield is building a fine resi-
dence for his bride, but part of the
year will be spent in San Francisco.
George Wingfield worked his way UP
in the world from a brakeman on the
Southern Pacific road to millionaire
mine owner. He made his first strike
at Tonopah, where he was staked by
Senator George Nixon of Reno. He
also found wealth in Goldfield, and in
turn made Senator Nixon a rich man
The Goldfield Consolidated is the most
important of the properties in which he
is interested, but many of the richest
gold producers of Goldfield and Tono-
pah are under his control.

Mohair is one of the most practical
materials for suits for this season Of
the year, and a suit made in this ma
terial is here shown. The blouse jacket
is not too elaborate for home making,
though it is one of the latest styles. II
may be made up with or without q lin
ing, while the sleeveless effect is ex-
tremely smart for warm weather. The
peplum, which is quite in line with
the present modes, is of excellent shap-
ing, having an inverted pleat at the
back and ending nattily at either side
of the front, while 1t is attached to the
coat by means of the belt. The skirt
is a two-piece circular model, with all
inverted pleat at the center-front and
hack and a smart flare at the hem. AS
shown it is cut in round length and
trimmed with a six-inch bias fold,
which should be omitted for develop
ment In any of the new materials, in

TALKS ON IMMORTALITY
TO LADIES OF MACCABEES

Rev. C. G. Pierce, pastor of the Mem
orial Baptist church, preached mem
orial sermon for the Ladies OF the
Maccabees yesterday morning. me
members attended the service In a
body, attired in white. The preacher
took for his topic Immortality ana
spoke of the universal fear of death
as a calamity.
''It is one of the great things that
we have to face, because 1t gets hold
of us as nothing else does. When we
bid farewell to our friends 1t takes
hold of the heart as nothing else does.
1t touches depths that we did not know
we possessed. -
"Then. also, death is something that
we all have to face for ourselves
Looked at ordinarily, death is a calam-
ity, and in one sense it is. 1t is like
picking the flower before 1t fruits. But
after all what they are missing in this
life they are securing in the other
life, and are having more glorious ex-
periences. Humanity, seen and un-
seen, is working out the great prob
lem.
"Jesus Christ never considered death
as more than q mere episode in his
life. 1t never deferred him. 1t Is like
getting off the car a block too soon,
but that does not hinder us from go
ing home. Christ brought to us q new
vision of life, and so he brought to us
new vision of death. Blessed are
they who die in the Lord

AGED MAN THINKS HE is
STAYING IN ST. LOUIS
Remembers Abraham Lincoln and De-
cIares He Drove Him About Coun-
try When He Was Running
for President

John McCombs, an inmate Of the in
sane ward at the county hospital, Is
considered one of the most interesting
characters there. Although SS years
of age, he still is healthy and walks
without the use of a cane. He was
taken to the hospital Thursday after
noon after being picked up on Spring
street by an officer.
He believed he was in st. Louis and
was to meet his sons. He maintained
to the police that he was worth con-
siderable property, and at the time OF
his detention had $3.50 on his person.
After telegraphing to st. Louis the
police are inclined to credit his story,
as the information received from the
eastern city comedies with his own
statements.
McCombs was born in Henderson,
KY, and in early life was a livery
man. He remembers Abraham Lincoln
and says he used to drive him around
the surrounding country when he was
a candidate for the presidency.

AIRSHIP EXPERIMENT AT
THE CHUTES AGAIN FAILS
Boys VainIy Tug Away at The Queen,
Flight Invariably Comes to
Brief and lgnominious
Close

Once again Dan Murphy's now cele-
brated airship, 1.-THE Queen" proved
at the Chutes yesterday that what
ever else she may be able to rule, 1t
is certainly not the air.
Similar tactics to those employed
last Sunday were used to send the ma
chine on it's aerial way, but this time
human power, the muscles of long
queue of intensely enthusiastic boys,
was substituted for that of an automo-
bile. But the result was just the
same.
All pulling together, up went the
Queen, huttered feebly at height OF
three or four feet, and collapsed. Once
more ali together and up she went for
about six feet, then down again.
Whereupon further experiment was
given up in disgust.
