IT HE j. +. Morgan memorial candle
recently completed in this city is
said to be not only the most
elaborate in workmanship and design
ever executed but the costllest as well.
1t was made to the order OF members
Of the congregation OF the Church of
our Lady Of Mount Carmel in Jersey
City, who subscribed $500 for the pur-
pose, and is intended as an acknowledge
ment Of Mr. Morgan's many charities
and beneficent works in Italy.

represent greater sacrifices. Perhaps
1896 does not seem to you to be very
large sum Of money. but to the man
who worked day In and day out for a
scanty wage 1896 was a very tidy
nest egg that might have served well
in time Of need. A fall from a third
story window while at work left this
laborer unframed and then 1t was that
out of gratitude for his escape he gave
his savings for votive candle.
This candle Is nine feet tall and large
enough to burn continuously hundreds
