Salaries Below Average.

Among the denominations showing an
average salary considerably lower than
the general average for the United States
are the Advent Christian Church, all the
Baptist bodies except the Northern Bap-
fist Convention. the Christian Union, the
Christians christian connection), the
Church of Christ, Scientist; the General
Eldership of the Churches of God In
North America, the Society Of Friends
ORTHODOXY. the colored Methodist bodies,
the Methodist Protestant, Wesleyan
Methodist and Free Methodist churches
and the Salvation Army.
The average salary shown for the large
cities is considerably higher as a rule
than the general average for the denomI-
nation, while for the area outside of the
principal cities it is usually somewhat
less.
In the Northern Baptist Convention the
average for cities of the first class is
S1.5SO; of the second class, $l,42D: of the
third class. S1,3S1; of the fourth class,
$1.24s: and for the area outside of the
principal cities. 1888. The figures for
the Disciples of Christ show a regular
graduation from S1.326 per minister for the
cities of the first class to $3.50 for those
of the fourth class; for the Methodist
Episcopal Church, from 81, 422 for cities
of the first class to $1.1S7 for those of the
fourth class; and for the Presbyterian
from s., 169 for those of the first class to
s1,52 for those Of the fourth class.
Pay of Southern Baptists.
In the Southern Baptist Convention
the average salary ranges from S1.793 for
the cities of the first class to $1,35S for
those of the fourth class, and among
the Congregationalists from S1,93S for
cities Of the first class to S1.512 for those
Of the fourth class. but in the case of
both these denominations the average for
cities ot the third class is a little larger
than for those of the second class
Among the Lutheran bodies there is
considerable difference; some, as the Cen
cral Council, show a regular graduation
others. as the United Norwegian, show
larger averages for cities of the third
and fourth classes.
In the Protestant Episcopal Church the
average is from s1,S73 in cities of the
first class to 1517 in those of the fourth
there being but little difference in the
figures for the second, third and fourth
classes of cities.
In the case of the Roman Catholic
Church the figures show but little differ
ence between the general average and
that for the various classes Of cities or
for the area outside of the principal
cities the reason being that in this de-
nomination the salaries are fixed for the
diocese. being in general the same for
the rural districts as for the large cities

CENSUS BUREAUS REPORT
Some Denominations Refused to Give
Definite Figures.
UNITARIANS IN THE LEAD
Pay Their Ministers Most, With
Episcopalians and Universalists
Next in Order.

The average annual salary Of a min
lister of the gospel Is but 1868 in all the
denominations represented in the COM
pilations on this subject in part / of a
special report on the census of religious
bodies for 1906, which is now in press
preparatory to its submission by Census
Director Durand to Secretary Nagel of
the Department Of Commerce and Labor
The report was compiled under the super
vision of William C. Hunt, chief stats
tician of population in the census bureau,
and the statistics were collected partly
by correspondence and partly by special
agents.
1t Is pointed out in the introduction that
this Is the first time an attempt has been
made in United States census to secure
official statistics concerning salaries paid
to ministers. 1t is stated that the re-
suits of the census are not entirely sat
lsfactory on account of the failure of
some ministers to report their salary and
OF others to report with sufficient clear
ness. OF the grand total of 1S6 denomi-
nations in continental United States. the
report states that Is have no regular
ministry and 50 either pay no stated sal
aries or made returns which were not suf-
fciently complete to warrant tabulation.
Figures Fairly Show Average.
OF the 2O1,351 organizations composing
the 1O2 remaining denominations, there
were 164, 229. or SIG per cent, which made
returns to the census inquiry, and the
report states there is reason to believe
that these are substantially complete and
accurate, and it is thought that they en-
brace a sufficient number of organiza-
tons of the respective denominations to
be fairly representative of conditions as
to the average salaries paid to ministers.
The figures in the tables are for CONT
mental United States for each of the four
principal classes of cities-that is, those
having a population I'm 1900 of 5000 to
5000. of $1,000 to 100000, of 100000 to
5000 and of 100000 and over, and for
the area outside of them.
The denomination showing the highest
average is the Unitarian, with 81 1853.
while the denominations next in order
are the Protestant Episcopal Church,
$I,242: the Universalists. $1,23S; the Cen
eral Convention of the New Jerusalem in
the United States of America, 81 ,23:i; the
Jewish congregations, 81 ,222: the Presby-
terrain Church in the United States of
America, LIT: the Reformed Church in
America, $1,170; the United Presbyterian
Church of North America, $1,G96: the
Congregationalists, S1.O42; the Christian
Catholic Church in Zion, $1,O37, and the
Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church If North Anerina CnS

Trouble for Street Cleaners.

Meantime the enormous amount of trash

with especial care. Supt. James F. Wood
of the street cleaning department said
today that the burning of the disposal
plant piled up great deal of trouble for
his force.
I'VE cannot expect the contractor to
build another plant, because his contract
expires on the last day of June. and a
plant started now would not be in opera
ton until August perhaps. Meantime we
will have to bale some Of the stuff as
fast as we can, and spread the rest out
