The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1913-08-18

The members of the theatrical profession,
particularly the old-timers, felt touch upon
the chords Of memory yesterday, when they
read of the death of Bishop William Tubnel Sa-
bine formerly of the Protestant Episcopal
Church but for forty years of the Reformed
Episcopal Church. His death recalled the fun
eral services of the late George Holland, and
the Church of the TRANSPORTATION. in East
Twenty ninth street, which got its more familiar
name of THE Little Church Around the Cor
ner' through the death of Mr.. Holland and
the action of D. Sabine.
When MIR. Holland died on September 20,
1870 he was one of the best known actors on
the American stage. His son. K. NJ. Holland,
and the late Joseph Jefferson took charge of the
funeral services. In seeking for church for
the services Mr.. Jefferson went to the Church
of the Atonement, at Madison avenue and TWEEN
ty-eighth street, of which DIR. Sabine was rector.
Dr. Sabine declined to conduct the services on
the ground that Mr.. Holland had been an
actor.
There is a little church around the corner"
he said TRY that"
"Thank God for The Little Church Around
the Corner" said Jefferson.
What Is now the beautiful Church of the
sisting of what is now the west end Of the
nave DR.. George Hendric Houghton. who had
founded the church, welcomed Mr.. Jefferson, and
the funeral services of Mr.. Holland were held
there.
The story went the rounds Of theatrical cir
cies and the fame of The Little Church Around
the Corner" spread throughout the country.
Many theatrical folk made it their church They
have been married there. had their children
christened there and have been buried from
Ithere-New York Sun.

CURRENT COMMENT
, Politics in 1897 and Today.

Apropos of the recent lobby investigation in
congress interesting sidelight the politics
of half century ago Is given by John Bigeolw
in the fourth volume of his "Retrospectons Of
an Active Life" recently published by Double
day, Page & Company. In conversation with
Seward. the purchaser of Alaska declared that
before the United States obtained possession
of this vast Russian territory, $4,000, had to
be given to Robert j. Walker; $4,000 to his
partner, F. X. Stanton: 500 to two members
of congress; and $4,000 to Forney, who had
lost $4,000 by the defacation of his clerk.
One thousand dollars more was to have been
given to poor Thad Stevens, but one would
undertake to give that to him, so ] undertook
1t myself. The poor fellow died, and ] have

Bigelow adds: This statement gave me much
food for reflection my way back to the
hotel"
We trust that even in these days of wholesale
corruption a bargain SO obviously to the advan-
tage OF this country could be put through with
out bribery such a scale this.

for it's ghost, which set all London in
an uproar in 1872. Making the furni-

many years later a servant admitted
that long horsehairs attached to the

had enabled her to play the ghost so
successfully that frightened beholders

DEMUR TO RATE CHARGES
Railroads Counsel Appear in Court at
Red Wing.


Attorneys for the Great Western,
the ST. Paul road and the Chicago and
Northwestern, which were indicted by
the Goodhue county grand jury for
failure to obey the railroad rate laws,
demurred to the indictments brought
against them when the case came up
for trial before Judge Albert Johnson
at Red Wing.
The railroads counsel asserted that
the court had no jurisdiction, that the
facts stated did not constitute a pub.
lie offense, and that there were irregu.
larities in the procedure.
The attorneys criticised the court
because special attorneys had been
named to advise the grand jury, in,
stead of leaving the matter to the
county attorney.
