CLASSES
OPEN FOR SECOND TERM

The 7. W. G. A. will open all edu-
cationa1 classes for the work of the
new term the week of Feb. /. Many
young women profit by the courses
offered and become expert at making
dresses and suits, velvet hats, elabor-
ate center-pieces or simpler ones and
many other things. Eighty-four girls
delight in the gymnasium class taught
by Miss S1ocum; numbers like the
trained attendant class. which teaches
them to become splendid nurses in
one years time, it not being required
that they be High school graduates
to enter the nursing class. The cook
ing classes are times of interest and
the knowledge gained in them fits all
to become better home-nakers and
home-keepers.
The class in interior decoration,
taught by Mrs. Angelina Scott Don1ey,
teaches the art of combining shades
and materials in the most attractive
manner, thereby making the pupils
accomplished along the line of beauti-
flying their homes with little cost This
is one of the best classes for sales
women who are in stores where house
furnishings are sold as it enables
them to intelligently assist their GUS
toners.
The Shakespeare club and dramatic
club, which is taught by Miss Grace
Da1rympIe Clarke, afford excellent
training, which makes it easy for
those who have this, instruction to
cope with the necessity that often
arises in life to speak in public and
also to converse fuently.
The secretaries of the Y. w. c. A.
at 1887 Broad street, stand always
ready to explain the courses and to
women desiring to study during the

RECTOR WANTS
CHARGES TRIED
i Immediately
"Foxhunter Parson," Mr.
Kiber, Appeals to Bishop
His Church Divided.

New York, Jan. 28-Bishop Greer
Of the Episcopal Diocese of New York
is expected to act soon on the request
Of the Rev. Robert B. Kimber, rector
Of St. Andrews church. Richmond,
Staten Isiand.i that he appoint a COM
mittee to Investigate charges against
the fox hunter parson," as Mr.. Kim
Der has been called by his opponents
in the parish. The vestry, which had
previously discussed the charges, were
surprised last night when the rector
notified them that he had written to
the Bishop regarding the trouble that
has stood between himself and a num-
Der of his Pensioners since the .be-
ginning of his ministry there in 1912.
One month ago the vestry divided five
to five on a move to force the rector's
resignation.
Mr. Kinber in his letter to Bishop
Greer refers to what has been COM
mon gossip among his flock for
months With accusations Of his 1iv-
ing far beyond his means, despite a.
salary of about $4,000, his opponents
call attention to three judgments OBJ
tanned against him. and declare that
though they have been satisfied, for
a rector to be involved in such court
proceedings was sufficient ground for
seeking his resignation. The rector,
ing to his friends, wants the matter
settled definitely.
Mr.. Kimber has enjoyed popularity
among the younger members of his
congregation from the start of his rec
torship. The sobriquet of English
fox hunting parson,'' given him by
older members who consider his en-
gagement in sports and social affairs
detrimental to his dignity as a minis
ter, has been the cause of increased
favor among the younger men and
women. Of these. the number has
| grown despite the fact that many
older members have left the church
since he first took charge.
Bishop Greer has the appointment
| of committee consisting of three
lic1ergymen and two 1aymen to investi-
gate the charges Mr.. Kimber himself
| communicated to the head of his do
cese- The charges grow out of the
/ judgments filed against the rector. A
local butcher obtained two of these,
one for $53.16 and the other for
| $52o.O5. Both were satisfied within
the past few days. A publishing house
| obtained the third for $113.26
Mr.. Kinber is paid from the in
| come of bonds and mortgages of $40
| 900 acquired by the church through
| the sole of properties given it in 17oS
by Elias Duxberry. With the salary
of more than $4,000 goes the rectory
| rent free.

peck & Lines Co. Gives Up
! Horse Business After 80
Years.

The Peck & Lines CO., for 80 years
one of the leading livery concerns IL
this section of New England, has de-
eided to give up it's horse and carriage
department to cater to the more mod
ern automobile. Within a few weeks,
4 modern, up-to-date garage, capable
Of housing 200 cars, will have taken
the place of the famous livery stables.
The change has been necessitated by
the decrease in carriage business and
the erouInous increase in that of the
automobile.
while statistics from Washington
tell US that there are more horses in
dse in the country today than ever
before In its history, said George H.
Peck, president of the concern, discus
sing the situation, 'sthe majority of
Horses now are the strong, heavy work
type used on farms. The day of the
carriage horse is passed. The develop
Ihent of many small farms in the west
has required the use of the heavy
Vork horse which accounts for the in
arease in number of these animals
The harness department of the Peck
& Lines Co. will be retained and the
sales department Will continue to han
die full line of horse stable and au-
tomobiIe. supplies. A garage was in
stalled in a section of the building
three years ago, and walls are now
being cut through to enlarge the floor
space for the storing of cars. while
several fine show rooms will display
the latest products of the automobile
factories to their best advantage.
The entire five floors of the building
on Middle street, between Gold and
Golden Hill streets which. is owned by
the company, will be given over to the
new line of business.
The company will be the agents for
the Haynes and Chevrolet pleasure
cars and the Lippard Stewart CONNER
cia1 automobile. HA1I kinds of up-to-
date garage business will be solicited
The 35 men now employed at the
livery stables will have work in the
garage.
Eighty years ago George Peck,
grandfather Of the present head of the
concern, began a horse renting bus
mess where the Peck & Lines build
ing is now located. He prospered, the
firm grew and at his death he was
succeeded by his son, Edwin Peck
In 1893 George o. Lines bought out
Mr.. Peck and with George H. Peck
son OF Mr.. Pecks partner, formed the
company of Peck & Lines. This was
continued until 1906 when the concern
was Incorporated under the firm name
of Peck & Lines Co.
Mr. Lines died several years ago and
the present officers of the company
'zlre George H. Peck, president; George
O Lines, Jr., president; William
E. Peck, son of Mr.. Peck. secretary
and Franklin L. Peck, another son, a
salesman and director
George FL. Peck has been connected
with the business for more than 4C
years
The fine large building which the
company owns and occupies was erect
ed at the time of the forming of the
partnership "a years ago
The concern has been fortunate in
its career, never having had fire OF
other detrimental experience.
