9oion W. Bush. Q young son, who was
later the editor Of the Christian Register.
q Unitarian publication, for a number
Of years.
DR.. Joshua Young, an able preacher. OF
strong an~ti-slavery convictions. occupied
the pulpit from 1852 to 1863. A dramatic
episode Of his ministry was a journey
made by him and q member Of the church
TO the burial OF job Brown. the aboli-
~tiorist, which occurred at North Eiba in
the Ad!rondacks in 1860. Although 1t was
not his Intention when he left. ne offered
the prayer at Browns grave and because
of his active part IN the funeral services
he offended some Of his friends. Dr Young
il said to have added a practical touch
to his nnti-slavery views by operating
one Of the underground railway sta
tons by which fugitive slaves were as
sisted in their night from the South to
Canada. The house where he lived n
harbored the negroes was located on South
Willard street. just north Of the present
grammar school building. and was torn
down about three years ago 1t was dur
ing Or. Younk's psstorate, in 1850, that
the half century OF Cnitarianism in Bur-
linGton was c-ommernorated. appropriate
exercises being held on April 20. when
DR.. Young preached a sermon and gave
an historical sketch OF the church and
society.
Or. Young was succeeded by the Rev.
DR.. L. G. Ware. whose passionate was the
longest Of any, extending from 1863 to
his death In 1891. During his ministry the
interior OF the church was ren,odeled, a
new organ erected, the high pulpit with
the winding stairs taken down. the gall
leries lowered. the ceiling changed and
the parlors and Sunday school rooms
added at the rear Of the main building.
The Rev. II. l.. Wheeler held the pas
torate from 1891 to 1893 and he was sue
ceeded BY the Rev. Joel II. Metcalf. now
of Taunton. Mass. who occupied the
pulpit from 1893 to 1903. After Mr.. Met
calfs resignation a call was extended to
the Rev. Charles j. Staples OF Manches-
ter. \. II. The call was accepted and
the people of the church feel that they
have in Mr.. Staples one Of the ablest and
most earnest ministers in the city.
GIFTS TO THE CHURCH.
An interesting feature of the church
is a library founded by Or. Ingersoll in
Is3. which is now supported and brought
up TO date by a fund left in his memory
BY his daughter. Among the various be-
quests made to the church for It's sup
port and the carrying on Of it's charities
are those Of Mark Rice. John y. Pome-
roy. Henry Loomis. Miss Olivia Ware and
Edward Wells. The clock in the ~steeple.
which has told the time for thousands OF
people, was the gift Of Harvey Burnett.
a well-known Burlinstonian in his day.
Ths church has had on it's rolls during
the last hundred years the ma me-. Of many
men, prominent In the business and pro-
fessionai life of the city. Governor Van
Ness was one of the original .ubscrib-
ers, and other well-known names 20 be
found there arc LOOMS, Englesby, Van
Sicklen. Lyman. Willard. Pearl, Pomeroy,,
Peck, Pope and Haswell.

Wheat Bears Stop Advance

The bear raid in the Chicago wheat
pit Tuesday has saved San Francisco
householders from an increase in the
price of bread--at least until the mar
ket makes another move upward. The
decline in wheat and its failure to
react was the subject of three hours
discussion by the members of the ex-
ecutive committee of the California
master bakers association at a meet
ing held in the merchants exchange
building yesterday afternoon.
The proposal TO sell smaller loaves
or to increase the price to two loaves
for Is cents instead of cents a loaf
was thoroughly discussed. Many Of
the members of the committee attended
the meeting determined to advocate
an increase in the prevailing prices.
but when 1t was demonstrated that
only a few million bushels had broken
the market and that apparently Patten
was unable to stop the downward rush
they decided temporarily to postpone
any action that would tend to Increase
the price of bread.
If wheat should again advance. how
ever, another meeting will be called
and decisive action taken. The mem
bers of the committee were non-com-
initial as to whether the price would
be Increased If wheat became dearer.

z MILES OF ICE
OVER SO FEET HIGH
Menacing Jam at Niagara Falls
to Be Blown Up With
Dynamite

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, April 21.-
Acting with the approval of the war
department dynamiters tomorrow will
attempt to blow up the ice jam in the
Niagara river. The jam is so feet high
and IL miles long.
Residents along the banks from
Queenston to Lake Ontario are panic
stricken fearing not so much a further
rise in the river as the sudden breaking
of the jam. The Ice has uprooted huge
trees and carried away dock and boat
houses and would in sudden rush
erase acres of territory along the upper
river banks.
1t was planned tonight to rush two
carloads of dynamite to the scene and
begin the work at dawn.
In the meantime the ice remains pas
sive but threatening The key to the
jam apparently is the mass of ice
lodged on the sand bar at the mouth of
the river. Pressed forward against this
as well latterly toward either bank Is
mammoth field of ice varying in
thickness from 30 to 20 feet and inter-
mingled with it great rocks. pieces of
timber from shattered docks and the
trunks of trees. Between Lewiston and
Queenston the mass is a splendid bit
of polar scenery in miniature.
Interest at the falls today centered
in the huge mounds of Ice near
Bridal Veil falls, where the body of a
