GOTHAM'S HISTORIC CHURCH
How the "Little Church Around
the Corner'' Became
Famous.

The views Of our clergy are broader
than they were In the old days when
dear George Holland was laid away to
rest. Those of us who knew him. and
who love his sons still remember the
sting OF that direct slap In the face
when his body was refused Christian
burial and our indignation and subse-
ouent disgust when all the facts became
known. Let our dear Joseph Jefferson
tell the story in his own words:
When George Holland died at once
started In guest of the minister. taking
one Of Mr.. Hollands sons with me. On
arriving at the house l explained to the
reverend gentleman the nature Of my
visit, and arrangements were made for
the time and place at which the funeral
was to be held, Something, I can scarcely
say what. gave me the impression that
I had best mention that Mr.. Holland
was an actor. did SO In few words.
and concluded by presuning that prob
ably this would make no difference. !
saw, however, by the restrained man
ner Of the minister and an unmistakable
change In the expression Of his face that
1t would make, at least to him. great
deal Of difference. After some hesitation
he said that he would be compelled, II
Mr. Holland had been an actor. to de-
cline holding the service at the church.
"while his refusal to perform the
funeral rites for my old friend would
have shocked. under ordinary clrcum-
stances, the fact that II was made In the
presence Of the dead mans son was
more painful than can describe. I
turned to look at the youth. and saw
that his eyes were filled with tears. He
stood; as II he felt the terrible In
justice of reproach upon the kind and
loving father who had often kissed him
in his sleep. and had taken him on his
] knee when the boy was old enough to
| know the meaning Of the words, ana
told him to grow up to be an honest lad
I was hurt for my young friend, and In
dignant with the man-.too much 80 to
reply, and rose to leave the room with
a modification that I cannot remember
at the door and said
"'well, sir, In this dilemma Is there
no other church to which you can direct
me, from which my friend can be
burisdf
''He replied that There was a little
church around the corner where I
might get It done--to which ! answered:
"Then II this be so. God bless the
little church around the corner" and 30
left the house.
"And so say--as We all do-'God pless
the little church around the corner
not only for that one Christian act,
but for its we'll merited rebuke to

Man In the
New Store
With the Camera
Snapshot No. II
The Heart of Things

A great store is not unlike a human
being. 1t has a BRAIN, of course, and
the new Bamberger store, by reason of
its wonderful air-purifying plant, may
trwthfully be said to possess LUNGS.
Now come the engines and dynamos-
these constitute the HEART.
Just as the heart is the most inn
portant bodily function, so are the dyna-
mos and engines the %life-giving organs
of a great building. They infuse force
and vitality into the arteries of the
structure-they throb and beat and
pump the same as the little huttering
thing in your breast.
Today's snapshot has to do with the
engines and dynamos of the GREATER
STORE. Pages might be written on this
subject.
Our boiler room covers approximate
ly 5000 square feet of floor space. The
engine room covers more than 5000
square feet. Eleven thousand feet of
floor space for a heart
There are three boilers of $50 horse
power each. These boilers require over
twenty tons of coal daily. They gen.
crate enough power to run the light.
water and power plant of a town of ten
thousand people. Each of these boilers
has a CRATE space of l0xl2.6 feet-the
size of an ordinary room. They are
equipped with what is technically termed
non-returnable valves, which automati-
cally shut off steam in case of a mishap.
The engines are of the direct type, or, in
palmer words, the engines and generators
are combined-there are no belts. There are
four engines in all, two of 400 kilowatts
each; one of $50 kilowatts and one of 100
kilowattS.
The smoke stack of the new building has
an inside circumference of 7 feet and is l85
feet high. This is supplemented by a fan
draft which collects the heated air at the
top of the boiler room and forces it under
the CRATES and through the stack.
The floor of the engine room is tiled in
white and will be as clean as a bathroom.
Women wearing dainty white frocks NAV
stroll about here without fear of ~injuring
their immaculate linen.
The switchboard is 50 feet long and 9
feet high.
Every bit of machinery in the GREATER
store is operated from within the four white
walls. The lighting system, the ventilatinp
system, the refrigerating system, the cash
system, the elevators and all machines are
driven by Bamberger-made power.
The engine room of the new store is a
place worth visiting,

MRS. MlLLARD'S FUNERAL
TO BE HELD TOMORROW
Des Unexpectedly After Resid-
ing Here Nearly Sixty Years.

Funeral services for Mrs. Mary
Willard, whose death occurred on Sun
day at her home, 50 Delevan avenue,
from ailments incident to old age,
will be held in st. Johns Episcopal
Church, Elmwood place and Loneoln
avenue, tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock. The Rev. r. S. Nichols, rec
tor of the church, will oftieiate.
Burial will be in the Paramount Gem,
etery.
Mrs. Willard, who was 81 years old,
retained all of her faculties up to the
hour of her death. Up to about
eighteen months ago she enjoyed the
best of health and daily took long
walks unaccompanied. At that time
her illness was considered serious,
but she rallied and almost fully re-
covered. She had frequent sinking
spells during the past year, but each
time recovered. Her death came at
a time when it was least expected.
Born in England, Mrs. Willard came
to this country in 1853, with her five
children, after the death OF her hus-
band. Immediately upon her arrival
here, she settled in the lower section
of this city and a number of years

MCARTER TOO ILL
TO Be AT CHICAGO
Speech of Head of Electric Rail-
way Association Read
to Delegates. =.

CHICAGO, Oct. S,-Delegates at
tending the annual convention of tho
American Electric Railway Associa-
ton listened this afternoon to the adj
dress of President Thomas n. Me-
Carter, of Newark. N. J..
Mr.. McCarter was unable to attend
because of a recent mild attack of
typhoid fever and his speech was
read from the chair.
He said in part:
THE unique, and perhaps the most
fa%r-reaching work of the year, was
the trip made by the officers of the
association to member companies
throughout the South, the West and
the Pacific coast. The trip commenced
on the 18th of April and lasted until
the Goth of May. 1t was made most
comfortably in a private car and
visits were made to many of our
member companies.
Another vitality important work OF
the year is the Inauguration of the
associations publication, the Aera.
The three numbers of this periodical
which have already appeared justify
it's creation and need no encomium
from me. The efficiency of this work
is bound Ito develop into one of the
most useful functions of the associa-
ton.
Publicity and not secrecy is the
watchword of the day. We have all
come to realize that our industry has
nothing to conceal; in fact. that its
very prosperity depends upon bring
ing to the attention of the public the
nature and difficulty of the problems
that confront us.
During the year a serious need
has developed for a permanent repre-
sentative of the association to be
located within the city of Washing
ton, wher he may closely watch the
proceedings of Congress so far as
they relate to acts of interstate COM
MERGE affecting any portion of our
membership. Questions are constant
ly arising requiring the presence OF
some such representative, and
earnestly hope that the executive
committee or the convention will au-
thorize such an appointment during
the forthcoming convention"
