What DR.. John Lee calls a noble
work for the laity of all Christian
churches !" is something which has been
too long neglected 1t is making ade-
quate provision for the support of min
listers who after years of faithful ana
poorly paid labor find themselves in
the clutches of extreme want. 1t is a
reproach 10 the laymen of the more
wealthy religious denominations that
they have been blind to the fate of so
many men who have worn themselves
OUT in their service.
We all know that the average pay of
a minister is small. 1t is smaller-be-
cause he has to keep up appearances
than that Of the mechanic who has
steady job. So, too, was the salary Of
the early New England minister small.
1t was paid largely in kind. His con
gregation agreed to give him per year
a specified number of bushels of rye and
of corn meal and so many cords Of fre-
wood. Money was scarce and he got
none. But he did not depend on his
modest salary for living. He was
farmer as well as preacher Either he
farmed the glebe land, the property of
the parish, or he had a farm of his own.
There We're two Massachusetts, minis
ters-who made and sold hoe handles to
exc out their salaries.
Nobody thought the worse Of them
for It. The spectacle of a farmer
preacher shocked nobody once. 1t
would now If minister can make a
little extra money by writing o.. iectur-
ing, it is permissible. lie may even
write novel But if he were to ada
anything BY manual labor to the small
sum doled out by the congregation it
would frown on his industry. 1t would
not be respectable. y
The minister who cannot win one of
the pulpit prizes in the great cities IS
unable no matter- how he may pinch
and squeeze, to care decently for his
family and also lay up store for his de-
elining years. Preachers should have
pensions as a kind of deferred payment
Of what they should have received dur
ing their years Of benefcent activity.
The creation Of pension system
would be easier if there were not So
many religious denominations That
impairs unity of effort. There are,
however, denominations which can and
should provide at once for the pension
ing Of disabled ministers. It is a sacred
duty as well as noble work. Tribune.

WIFE LEFT HERE A WEEK AGO
officials Of the sanitarium Declare That
Sensational Story of Her Escape is
Without Foundation at Dones-
tic Trouble.

The Rev. Arthur Wild Little, well
known among members Of the Episcopal
church III Kenosba and Rector of St.
Marks church in Evanston for more
than p years, committed suicide at the
rectory Of his church on Wednesday
afternoon when he shot himself through
the right temple. The dead body of
the minister was found late in the af-
ternoon by his housekeeper who had
just returned from Milwaukee where
she had spent the day with the wife
Of Dr.. Little. Mrs. Little has been
living at the Pennoyer Sanitarium for
the better part of FIVE years. and the
stories that DR.. Little committed sui
eide on account of the escape of his
wife from that institution have no
foundation in fact. D.
DR.. George r. Adams of the Sanitaf-
ium when seen this morning denied the
sensational story Of the escape Of Mrs.
Little from the sanitarium in no uncer-
tain words, Mrs. Little did not run
away from the sanitarium said DR..
Adams but on the other hand she left
Kenosha with the full knowledge and
consent of DR.. Little. Before she left
DR.. Little and his wife, together with
her doctors had held conference and
Dr.. Little was aware that she was go
ing to Milwaukee to stop at the home
of a former member of DR.. Little IS YES
try, She left Kenosha just week ago
today and [ personally accompanied her
to the train. Mrs. Little had been suf-
fering from nervous troubles but she
was not insane. I can not see how the
story that. she escaped from this in
stitution or left Kenosha without the
knowledge of her husband or her ply
sicians was given any credence.
Mrs. Little was well known to many
people in Kenosha and during the time
she had lived at the Pennoyer she had
made many friends among the promi-
nent people Of the city. DR.. Adams
declined to discuss the question of DR..
Little's suicide more than what he had
to say in regard to the connection Mrs.
Little had with the sanitarium. 1t is
limited however that in the past few
months DR.. Little and his wife had diff
ferences and it was even stated among,
the friends Of the Rector and his wife
at the sanitarium that Mrs. Little might
take these differences into the courts.
DR.. Adams refused to discuss this phase
Of the question but declared that Ruben
& Ruben of Milwaukee were the actor
heys for Mrs. Little and that she would
undoubtedly make any statement she
had to make through these attorneys.
~The tragic death Of DR.. Little has
caused a profound sensation in church
circles and the men who know him best
seem to believe that worry over his
wife IS illness had dethroned his reason.
DR.. Little had spoken in Kenosha on
several occasions and was widely known
to the members of st. Matthew's church
here.

CASE FAILS To REACH JUDY
Court Grants Motion of Attorneys For
Railway Company Who Declared
That Field Himself. Showed Neg
ligenca.

The suit of Henry Jordan as almin
istrator of the estate of the late George
o. Field of Manistee, Mich. against the
receivers of the Chicago & Milwaukee
Electric Railway company came to q
sudden ending in the circuit court late
Thursday afternoon when Judge Belden
took the case from the jury and handed
down an opinion granting motion for
non suit as made by the attorneys for
the defendant company. The plaintiff S
attorneys had concluded the presenta-
tion of evidence just after three clock
and Attorney Peter Fisher who repre-
sented the railway company at once
made a motion that the case be non
suited on the grounds that the evidence
as produced by the plaintiff clearly
showed that the negligence of Field had
contributed to the accident which re-
suited in his death. The argument on
motion occupied the time Of the court
until six O'Clock and at the conclusion
Of the argument the court granted the
motion of the Attorney for the de-
PENDANT and the case was dismissed.
Field met death when an automobile
in which he was riding was struck by a
car owned by the defendant company
at crossing mile north of the city on
October End, 1905. He was shown by
witnesses to be running at fair rate
of speed.
The jury had been taken to the scene
of the accident on special car in or
der that it might be able to properly
understand the conditions. The case
made against the company had seemed
to be a strong one to the people inter
ested but it had brought out in measure
the fact that Field had not made any
effort to show that he was approaching
the crossing. The administrator for the
estate had demanded damages to the
amount of $4,000. An interesting ques-
tion has arisen In connection with the
case and that is in regard to the pay
ment of the costs of the action if the
decision is upheld by the supreme court
on appeal Field at the time of his
death had no property and the admins
tration was granted with the sole idea of
bringing this action for damages against
the company There is therefore NJ
property on which a levy can be made
for the payment Of a judgment for costs
if such Judgment is entered in keeping
with the decision of the court.
The suit Of F. w. Field against the
company is still pending. In this &C
tion Field who was brother Of the
dead man demands 81 200 for damages
done TO the automobile by its being
struck by the car. Tt is generally be-
heved that no effort will be made to
have this suit brought to trial until
after the supreme court has passed on
the action non-suited by Judge Belden
on Thursday. Should the supreme court
uphold the opinion Of Judge Belden
that Field contributed to his own in
jury the attorneys hold that this would
mean disposition of both the cases.
The circuit court has adjourned until
October 10th at which time one of the
other civil actions scheduled to be tried
before the jury will be taken up.

seek TO INCREASE THE FUNDS
Association Sees Demand for Other
Play Grounds in the City if More
Money Can Be Secured for Support Of
Work.

The board of directors Of the Keno
sha Play Grounds association met at the
home of the secretary, Mrs. G. G. H.
Bachelor on Congress street on Thurs
day afternoon and completed plans for
the holding of the annual Tag Day.
to raise funds for the maintenance Of
the play grounds during the year 1911
and it was decided that the annual col
lection Of funds should take place on
October 14th. The entire day win be
given over to tagging people for funds
and it is expected that the collections
this year will be larger than in any
previous year. The plans win be in
charge of Mrs G. Windesheim, Mrs
Oscar Silberschmidt and Mrs. Bachelor
and it is expected that at least 100 we'll
known yoong women of theA city will
volunteer their services and aid in the
collection Of the funds. The tags will
be Of unique design and $4,000 will be
ordered to take care of the work for
the single day. In addition to the
young ladies it is expected that the
committee in charge of the work win
enlist the services of many people of
the city who own automobiles and these
automobiles will be utilized in reach
ing the outlying portions of the city.
1t is planned to give every man, woman
and child in the city chance to CON
tribute to the fund if they so desire.
The factories viii be worked more
generally this year than ever before and
already some of the factory managers
have declared that they will permit the
tag day girls to invade the plants and
solicit aid for the Fairgrounds from the
men at their benches.
The report of the work of the as
ISOLATION will be made public before the
day set for the collection of the fund
for next year and this report will show
that there is no deficit in the treasury
this year notwithstanding the fact that
the playground work was largely ex-
tended during the year. While many
gifts have been received during the
year the bulk of the money used in the
maintaining Of the Fairgrounds for the
children was raised at the tag day of
last year. This year the ladies in charge
are hopeful of raising at least 500. JIG
this amount can be raised it will make
possible the opening of another play
ground next year and this playground
will be located somewhere on the south
side of the city The annual meeting
of the people interested in the work Of
the association is to be held on October
25th and at that time the full reports
of the officers will be given out and new
officers will be elected for the coming
year
The work Of the tag day collections
in the past three years has been under
the charge of the Rev. Florence Buck
but this year the work will be under
the direction of Mrs. Windesheim.
More detailed announcement of the
young women to aid in the work will
be made within a week and the forces
Of the association viii be fully organ
lied before the tag day opens
Young ladies who are willing to act
in the capadity of collectors are re-
quested to send their names to Mrs.
G.. II. G. Bachelor, 433 Cangress street.
