he began entertaining the circus au-
diences by the rapidity with which
he could escape from ropes tied about
him in every conceivable way. 1t

as 70 escape detection in every case
In this respect he IS wonder. He
does things that seem absolutely impos-
sible of execution without the aid Of
supernatural agency.
One of his performances that never
fail to amaze his audiences is known
as the dove trick" He burns a piece
Of common paper, and a dove rises
phoenix-like from the ashes. He an
parently tears the dove in two, only TO
find that he has two doves in his hands.

He throws a glass of water into the
air, and it changes into a dove and
flies away.
Not the least enjoyable feature Of
Reno's performance is the running fire
of comment with which he enlivens ey-
erything he does. These fragmentary
remarks are full OF fun and wit, with
fash after fash Of good tempered sat
ire aimed at himself or his work He
is a man of fine personality and en-
gaging stage presence. with keen
mentality and an artistic appreciation
of the success he has achieved in his
profession.
In a performance two hours in length
he is able to spring one surprise after
another on his audience. keeping bis
audience in state Of breathless won
der and delight until they forget to
note the fight of time The fact that
many of these tricks are inventions of
his own adds interest to the entertain
ment.

NEW YORK. Feb Bishop David
u. Greer in his sermon yesterday at
the Church OF the Holy Apostles urged
the support OF the Episcopal church 10
the plan TO provide pension system
for the Episcopal ministers Of the Unit
ed States.
The Episcopal church has deter
mined TO undertake the largest single
enterprise in its history" Bishop Greer
said. Under the plan a pension of at
least $500 a year is TO be available 10
ministers who are disabled or who re-
tire at the age or S."
Bishop Greer explained that Bishop
Lawrence of Massachusetts was deyot-
ing his time entirely to raising a fund
of S5.00O,0 900 TO put The pension plan on
its feet. II will be supported by the
contribution by each parish OF approx
mately per cent. Of each minister's
yearly salary.
The average salary OF a minister is
81. zoo a year" said Bishop Greer. This
Is not all cash, but often includes the
rent OF a house. More than $500
OF these ministers receive less than
$500 year. Only 2S7. including l25
bishops, receive $4,000 or more.
These salaries are paid 10 clergy
men serving what is often asserted TO
be the richest church membership IN
America. Those men are expected 10
have good education. 10 dress WELL
to- live and move among people where
rents are high. keep open house and al
ways appear cheerful"
