To Tear Down First Building
With Skeleton of Steel

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-The first
building ever erected around skele-
ton of steel, the forerunner Of sky
,scrapers which are known today in
almost every American city, is to be
torn down. The structure is known
as the Tower Building, but this has
become a misnomer. When 1t was
erected in 1889 at so Broadway, it was
the marvel of the city, being eleven
stories in height. Today, within a
stones throw of the old structure,
there are buildings from three to four
times as high.
The Tower Building is owned by
Standard Oil interests, who have
found that the structure no longer
pays for it's operating cost. 1t has
been decided to demolish it to make
q saving in taxes.

Rural Churches Declining
for Need of Better Pastors

TRENTON, Oct. 29.-Rev. Albert
King Morris, of Jersey City. declared
in an address to the Baptist State
convention yesterday that the rural
churches are on the decline. He said
that the only way for them to re-
gain the position they should occupy
was for the best pastors to strangle
their personal ambitions and take
hold of the small congregations.
Mr.. Morris said that the rural
church is no place for the man who
is looking for an easy job. nor a
place for the pastor who is content
with merely making a living. There
is work to be done, according to the
speaker, and the small congregations
demand the best of pastors. The
will close today.

May Move Chancery Court in
Jersey City to Court House

JERSEY CITY, Oct 29.-There is
talk here to the effect that the officers
of the two Courts of Chancery now
domiciled In the Union Trust building
are displeased with their quarters and
may try to get others In the new
County Court House. The Supreme
Court also State institution, has
quarters in the Court House, and
room could be made for the Courts of
Chancery.
This would necessitate the use of
the meeting room of the Board of
Freeholders. one of the finest In the
building, but used only twice month
for an hour or so. and the so-called
..red court ROOM" which is seldom
used at all. The removal of the
Courts of Chancery to the Court
House would mean a considerable
saving to the State, besides having
the courts in building more in keep
ing with the nature of their important
function.
