The lower East Side is to lose another
landmark. Il became known yesterday
through the sale Of the Mariners Church
which has occupied the southeast corner
of Madison and Catharine st. for ninety
eight wears. This old edilice. which Is not
at all presumptuous in architectural de-
sign. is on the dividing line of the OLD
4th and 7th wards IL is TO come down
TO make way for a six story 1athouse'
with stores. The property, when meas
ures 7osx65 feet, has been disposed or by
the trustees Of the Society for the Pro-
motion OF the Gospel Among Seamen.
The removal OF most OF the coastwise
steamers 10 berths along the Hudson
River and the removal of most OF the
oldtime residents TO other neighborhoods
have caused the congregation for the last
few years to become less and less. for
the last two years the society has main
taired services at 1s6 and 1873 Eleventh av'
vyhere the religious needs of the sailors
are attended to. The society plans to
erect a new church in this section OF inc
Chelsea district in the near future.
The old church neighborhood has
changed in recent years TO jewish
Italian and Polish settlement. The Mar
liners Church was organized In 1878 and is
maintained by the New York Port 80
ciety. Services there were conducted IN
several languages. The building Is
spacious and old-fashioned, with big
reading and writing room on the first floor
we'll equipped with interesting books and
periodicals. Letters for the seafaring men
and other matters besides spiritual are
carefully looked after.

tventy-ffth anniversary as pastor OF the
church last June. Many Of the oldtlmers
