About two years ago ST. Augustine's
mission among the colored people OF
Providence, R. l., was initiated, writes
a correspondent of The Living Church.
From recent account in church pa
per, l note the following: THE church
building used for the services is rent
ed property, and is likely to be sold at
any moment"
The purpose of this article is to
point out that as early as 1S43 there
was a parish of colored people in
Providence, Christ church," that the
parish having gone out of existence,
the money for freeing the church
building from debt having been raised
in England by a colored priest, and
turned over to the diocesan authori
ties in trust, it seems to me that in
this emergency the diocesan authori-
ties should welcome the opportunity
for making restitution. Here is an ex-
tract from the Episcopal address of
Bishop Henshaw, in 1S49, which
throws light upon the matter:
"At the time of the meeting of the
last annual convention, Rev. Eli w.
Stokes, rector of Christ church in this
city, was absent. in Europe, for the
purpose of soliciting funds to liquidate
the debt by which that parish has
been embarrassed ever since their
house of worship was erected. In
consequence of a certificate, required
by the laws of England, furnished by
me, he was received with great kind
ness by the archbishops, bishops and
clergy of our mother church; and l am
happy to inform you that his mission
was crowned with entire success, and
the liberal contributions which he re-
ceived in that distant land have en-
abled the gentlemen holding the prop
erty in trust to make a satisfactory
settlement with the mortgages. The
congregation is now free from debt.
and our colored brethren have wisely
made over their corporate property to
the board of commissioners for church
building with a view of security
against embarrassment and incum-
brance for the time to come. The
Christian generosity with which our
| English brethren answered the appeal
made to them in behalf of that feeble
parish has been duly acknowledged in
letter addressed by me to his grace
the archbishop of Canterbury, and
through him to the church over which
he worthily presides."

FAIR WAGE PAID GIRLS
ACCORDING TO SECRETARY OF
WAGE COMMISSION.
Investigation Shows Conditions in
Denver Better Than in Many
Cities of the East.

Denver.-Mrs. Catherine Van Deu-
sen, secretary of the State Minimum
Wage Commission, told the civic fed
Grafton the results of her investiga-
ton of wage conditions in Denver
among the women employees in the
stores and factories.
Il found" she said, that 81 per
cent of the a,524 women employed in
the stores, factories and laundries
are working for less than SIS a week.
In the 5, 10 and 15-cents stores, 91.2
per cent of the women employed re-
ceive less than IS a week
THE employers aided me in every
They turned over their payrolls with
out the slightest protest. 1 ques-
toned them as to their attitude
toward a minimum wage for women
and most of them expressed them
selves in favor of it.
I'm some of the places 1 found many
things were being done for the COM
fort of the women In the stores the
interest taken in the health and well
fare of the employees really is sur
prising. In all the stores the en-
ployes have mutual insurance soci-
cites that pay benefits to the sick"
In the cities in the East where
minimum wage boards investigated
living conditions among women en-
ployes, Mrs Van Deusen said, it was
found that the least sum on which a
woman could maintain herself, ac-
cording to a decent living standard,
was from SS35 to $3.50 a week.

Denver,-According TO the govern
ments April crop report, the condi-
ton OF winter wheat in Colorado is
80 per cent better than the average
condition over the rest of the coun-
try, while the condition of rye is SIS
per cent better than that in the coun-
try as a whole. The figures give
Colorado's condition on wheat as 80
per cent, as against SS.S in the entire
country. Condition of rye is 80 for
Colorado, against S9.5 in the country.
Rye in Colorado is l per cent better
than the seven-year average, but
wheat is per cent below the aver
age condition. The price for wheat
in Colorado is given at S1.15 bushel,
against S1.37 in the country. But the
wheat price in Colorado has increased
from IS cents year ago. Corn is
the same as last year-71 cents in
Colorado, against 75.1 cents in the
country. Rye shows the greatest pro
portionate gain in price-94 cents at
present, against 56 cents a year ago.
The prices of potatoes and hay have
been reduced-54 cents against 50
cents for the former, and 81 against
$3.50 for the latter.
