Trinity Is the richest Christian
church. Richer, indeed, than many OF
the great corporations Of the land
which have been stamped as predatory
institutions.
Heretofore 1t has been said Of Trim
ity that. its invariable policy was lad
dition, division and silence" but since
DR.. William T. Manning became the
rector of the church things have
changed. DR.. Manning maintains that
there is a legitimate public interest IN
the details of the wealth and manage
ment Of the institution. Otherwise We
wouldn't know that Trinity's wealth
amounts to $75,000,000.
OF course this isn't all In churches,
chapels and cemeteries, though prob
ably such property would bring $45,.
900, 900 in open market. The church
and its n%eighboring cemetery together
with st. Paul's chapel a little distant
on Nassau street are put down on the
city's rolls as valued at $50, 800, 900,
exempt Of course, from taxation.
St. Agnes cost $4,000 900. Interces-
sion cost $500, 900. Both of these prop
critics, as we'll as many others which
are unproductive because used for re-
ligious purposes, are owned by Trim
ity. 1t Is upon these many plots and
structures that, taking the city's own
estimation of the value, the estimate
of an unproductive wealth OF s45,O0O,-
900 Is made.
Recently DR.. Manning had the hold
ings Of Trinity announced in its nine
chapels; and the figures revealed that
the city assesses the property which
is held for investment at s15,O0O,O0O
This assessment is scarcely two-thirds
Of the real value of the property. In
addition there is enough other produc-
tive property to bring the total Of $780,
900, 900.

HISTORY Of PANAMA
Spaniards in 18th Century Land
ed at Site of Canal.
Tales of Rich Gold Deposits Were Re-
sponsible for Many Adventures
Leaving Home to Seek the FL
Dorado In the New World.

Colon, Panama.-It was lust for gold
that brought the Spaniards to America
in the fifteenth century. 1t was the
same lust that led them to make many
daring trips Of exploration into the
interior. An expedition set out from
the island Of Haiti one day In the
year 1913. When the vessel was well
out to the sea, and the wooded shores
of the island had grown dim in the
distance, the adventures were amaz
to hear mufled shouting from the
hold and a noise Of knocking. The
sound was coming from one Of a num-
Der of great casks, supposed to con-
tain dried beef, and when the noisy
cask was discovered and the end
knocked off, a well-built young man,
clad in the velvet garments gentlefolk
wore at that time, sprang out. Sew
eral Of the adventures recognized
him as Vasco Nunezele Balboa, a
young man known to many Of the col
onists of Haiti.
Balboa explained that he had chosen
this way of coming aboard because
his creditors were watching him so
closely that he knew they would
never have permitted him to leave the
island openly, but would have caused
him to be seized and cast into debt
ors' prison.
The destination Of this party Of ad-
venture was Darien, near the site Of
the Panama canal. No mar knew
what lay across the isthmus, and in
deed most Spaniards believed at that
time that the West Indies were
islands off the coast Of Asia.
When the vessel which Balboa had
boarded so unceremoniously reached
the mainland Of Central America
members of the little Spanish colony
already there refused to allow the
captain. of the vessel to come ashore.
for he had an evil reputation. The
other men, however, went ashore un-
der the leadership Of Balboa and at
once began a trip of exploration. Bal
boa made an alliance with a powerful
Indian chief who ruled that portion
of the land, and married the chiefs
daughter. At the wedding feast the
Indians brought rich gifts Of slaves
and gold, and were amazed to e

how the eyes of the Spaniards gilt
tered at sight Of the yellow metal and
how they quarreled over 1t.
At once Balboa fitted up an expedi-
ton to cross the mountains to the
land of gold. With him he took 200
men and a pack of savage dogs, which
should attack unfriendly Indians.
Balboa called the new ocean the
South sea, because he was looking
toward the south when first he saw
It. But he and his followers, though
they had discovered a new ocean,
failed to find the land of gold for
which they had set out. He then re-
turned to Darien and sent word to
the Spanish king Of the great discov-
cry which he had made. Then he
caused for small ships to be taken
apart and carried across the noun
tains, believing that somewhere on the
other side of the new ocean lay the
Ell Dorado. These vessels were set up
again and launched. the first European
ships to dip keel In the great South
sea. But before Balboa had equipped

part, but those We're lawless times,

BURGLARY As a Rest Cure.

Danville, Pa.-To break into a
house simply to find a good place for
rest is a Danville novelty. Daniel
Miller and Edward Kingston, under
the influence of liquor, arrived at the
formers clearinghouse, kept by
George Swank, and were refused ad-
mittance.
They talked the matter over, then
made their way to a house near by,
the owner of which Is out Of town
with his family, and coolly forced an
entrance and went to bed.
Late at night their act was dis
covered and the police were notified.
They found the two fast asleep, and
In their possession a revolver and a
bottle Of whisky.

WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVER
BITS OF CHEESE.

Cheese is such a valuable food and ID
so particularly good in comDlnation
with starchy foods, and those lacking
fats and flavor, that 1t should be round
more often upon our tables.
When buying cheese 1t Is bes- not
to get it in too large quantities, as II
drys and molds. To keep it from mold
ing, wrap 1t in a cloth wrung out OF
vinegar. Crate all the small pieces
before they get too dry and keep them
in a jar with a tight cover.
In cooking cheese 1t Is well to re-
member that overheating 1t makes 1t
indigestible. When possible, add the
cheese to a hot dish only long enough
to melt 1t. A tablespoonful Of cheese
will flavor a dish, and not even a scrap
should be thrown away. .
Butter crackers and sprinkle with
grated cheese and a dash OF cayenne
place in a hot oven and serve when
the cheese is melted.
Cheese Shell Filled With Cabbage.

young cabbage. Drain. chop and sea
