Pensions for Clergymen.

From Lesliess
The most preten.ious and far-reaching
scheme yet devised for ministerial pen

Presbyterian Church. The proposition IS
., consolidate the sustentation fund. with
It's small endowment with the board of
ministerial relief, which has fund of
&, go go. and then 10 increase the endoW-
rnent Of the new organization to $1,000
Wo The plan will he similar to that OF
life insurance companies. and the cost
10 one who begins payments at the open
ing OF his ministry. about his twenty
fifth year. will range from SIG 10 $50 an
nually This, IL il eXI ected will procure
him an annuity OF 500 in his old age
1t is only right that "A minister who IS
certair0of being cared for IN his old age
should pay something toward that end.
Just as one does for any other form of
insurance. Thirty-tiye cents a week dur
Ing the working period of life does not
seem like Il large sum TO secure such
provision.

Cards bearing the name of 90. Brown
at the bottom We're distributed yesterday,
designating the holder a member Of the
Eureka Social Club When one enters
the room from the side yard the first
thing his eye rests upon is a notice to
members, begging them to refrain from
loud and boisterous talk on the street
cars. About 2:fJ pm. the entries for the
first race at Fort Erie are posted on the
wall with the odds for first second and
third place put down, and the jockeys
who will ride. and the weight the horses
will carry in the race. Those on she in
side, who have a little slip of paper
bearing the words coat check and a
number. may write their selections on
small sheets of paper which are provided
and pass the coat check the selections
and the money through window about
three inches high.
The coat check is returned. Above
the window the glass Is corrugated and
tanned of the man who handles the
money. This window is in the next room
to the one where the entries are posted.
Coat Check Still in Evidence.
When the returns from the race come

horses they selected on one OF the little
slips of paper and the number Of the

and the check i'll through the window.
After a little wait the money comes
forth. mostly in dollar and two-dollar
bills
Beside the membership card, the coat
check and the hiding of the man who
handles the money, there seems to be no
other attempt at secrecy. The people
passing up and down Bladensburg road
in automobiles, carriages and street cars
may see right over the fence into the
yard. and the crowds every afternoon III
the side yard of house which appears
to be closed up are causing some specu
