THINGS
UNUSUAL
NEW YORK'S OLDEST
CHURCH
By T. T. MAxEY
20, 1924. Western Newspaper UniOn)

st. Paul's church, which stands at
the northwest corner of Broadway
and Vesey street in Little Old New
York" is one of the three public build
ings erected before the days OF the
Revolutionary war which have with
stood the ravages of progress in that
fast-changing city. The third church
to be built, it is the oldest church edi-
fee still standing on Manhattan island
the other two having passed into
history.
This venerable, yet exceedingly
well-preServed house of worship was
commenced in 1854 and first opened
for worship on October 30, 1766. The
conf1agration some years later ruined
a considerable portion of the city and
laid to waste buildings on all sides OF
this religious home, but by reason OF
the fairness Of the roof which enabled
the fremen to mount it and extln-
guish the fires which were started by
brands blown from other buildings
falling on its roof, st. Paul's escaped
with but little damage. A few years
later a steeple was added.
The interior of this splendid ex-
ample of early-day church architec-
ture was fashioned after that of st.
Martin -in-the-F Fields, London. The
building is 113 feet long, 73 feet wide,
and it's tall, old-fashioned spire Is
made up Of q series of differently
shaped sections stacked ore on top OF
the other.
In keeping with the majority Of an
cient houses of worship, st. Paul's is
surrounded by burial plot which, in
turn, is inclosed by tall iron fence.
The grave Of Francis Dring bears the
earliest inscription of all of those in
this yard-1767. Behind the chancel
within the church rest the remains of
Gen. Richard Montgomery, who lost
his life in the battle before Quebec in
ITS.
A condition which at once raises a
question in the mind Of the looker-on
is the peculiar fact that this church
turns its back on Broadway and faces
toward the Hudson river and the New
Jersey shore. 1t is explained that
this came about because Of the fact
that at the time of It's construction it
was believed that the territory be-
tween the church and the river prom
ised the greater development as the
future unfolded. 1t has come to pass,
however. that the reverse is true.
In 1889, a special service was held
In st. Pauls following the Inaugural
tion of George Washington as the first
president of the United States.

"While grown men stood by wonder
ing what to do states local account,
''the scout quickly knelt by the half
dying boy, fashioned tourniquet from
a handkerchief and applied it as he
had been taught in his scout work"
The bleeding was soon staunched.
An automobile was procured, and the
injured boy placed in it. Accompanied
by his scout rescuer, Neville was
taken to the hospital, where the doc
tors stated that Smith by his quick
work and skill in first-aid had saved
a human life.

disc from France escapes the heavy
which had been slashed by the broken
glass.
Employees and customers rapidly
gathered about the unfortunate boy.
No one knew how to aid the lad whose
strength and life blood were fast ebb-
ing.
AT this tense moment Scout Leon
Smith, in passing by, noticed the
broken window and the crowd, and
made his way into the store to see
what the trouble was.

Shipping Fresh Figs

Last season the experiment was
tried, with success, of shipping fresh
figs in papier-mache containers instead
Of ice. The boxes were in layer form,
indented SO that each fig had its own
little compartment. The fruit, which
was shipped from the Pacific to the At
lantic coast, came in such good condi-
ton by this method Of packing that ii
may open up unlimited markets be-
cause of elimination Of refrigeration
costs.

Believed Birds Talked

Legend and folklore are es. onsible
for the saying, "A little bird told me-"
The Biloxi Indians used to believe the
humming bird could impart messages
ineligible to humans and the Breton
peasants undoubtedly believed birds

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Democrats Fight and Pray
Over Platform Planks
and Then Ballot.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

TIME Democratic national conven-
4 ton in Madison Square garden,
New York, began it's fourth day of flu
tile balloting Thursday morning with
McAdoo and Smith still deadlOcked.
Following a dramatic and exciting
move in his behalf by William Jen-
nings Bryan Wednesday McAdoo had
climbed up to high-water mark of
5O5k votes in the fortieth ballot at
the Wednesday night session and on
the forty-second and last ballot had
slipped back to 1904, as shown by the
following count:
McAdoo, 500 40; Smith, 31S 60;
Davis CIV. Va.), 81; Underwood,
1914 Cox, 55; Glass, 287s; Ralston,
80; Robinson, "a; Richie, TN.
McAdoo on this ballot was 228 votes
short of the necessary two-thirds of
the convention and AZ under simple
majority-55O votes, which was his
immediate objective.
Wednesdays drowsy day session
was thrown into a near riot during
the taking of the last Thirty eighth
ballot by William Jennings Bryan,
who Inadvertently touched a match
to Teapot Dome in daring attempt
to stampede the convention to Nc
Adoo. Taxing the platform ostensibly
to explain his vote as a delegate from
Florida, he suggested that the conven-
ton choose from a list of eight can
didates, each of whom he eulogized in
turn as worthy of progressive De
mocracy-M urphree Of Florida, Dan
iels, Robinson, Ralston, Meredith OF
Iowa, G. w. Bryan, Walsh. When he
came at last to McAdoo he was boot
ed, derided, cornered into desperately
defending McAdoo and almost driven
from the platform. And when the bal
lot was finished the count showed
no appreciable change, but the effect
of Bryan's move was seen in the bal
lots of the night session.

MoNDAY morning found the con-
1V1 vention ready for the long and
steady grind of balloting, 16 candidates
placed in nomination and the platform
adopted. The delegates came up smil-
ing and showing few signs of the ter
rife contest over the League of Ma
lions and Ku Klux Khan planks that
had shaken the Democratic party to
it's foundations for many hours before
the adoption of the platform at two
o'clock Sunday morning.
Yet it will be long before those dele
gates forget three memorable scenes
Of that struggle. One was Homer
Cummings of Connecticut, chairman of
the platform committee, pleading with
the convention for more time because
the committee had been unable to
agree on the two planks, even though
the members had repeated the Lord
prayer and William Jennings Bryan
had made an invocation to God.
The second was Newton D. Baker,
former secretary of war, in impas-
stoned oratory beseeching the conven-
tion in the name of Woodrow Wilson
TO accept the minority League of Ma
tons plank. The delegates applauded
Wilson'S name and the orator, but re-
iected the plank by a vote of 742 to
853.
The third was William Jennings
BRYAN in the role of an apostle OF
peace speaking the final word in the
furious debate over the Ku Klux Khan
plank, which tipped the scale in favor
Of the majority report and brought to
an end five hours of riotous struggle.

NOT TAKING OWN MEDICINE

1t is noteworthy that in the few
states and cities where insurance
funds have been established for the
protection of state, county and city
property against fire and lightning,
usually the larger risks are partly or
wholly reinsured with privately con-
Quoted fire insurance companies.
In other words, although these
states and cities create insurance de-
partments with jobs for the admins
tration's friends and claim to save
the people money by refraining from
insuring in private companies doing
business in the state and paying a
heavy tax on premiums collected
they apparently distrust the sound
ness of their own form OF protection
The practice of reinsuring suggests
that the advocates of state insur-
ance dislike taking their own medi-
cine; evidently. they prefer to hedge
for safety's sake and place bet on
both sides of the fence. Since one
serious fire has been sufficient on a
number of occasions, to wipe out
such funds, the official custodians
are wise in one respect at least Let
the people think.

with respect to these transcontinent-
al rates which have been proposed in
the last two years or more.
"About a year and half ago
attended a conference in Chicago
and endeavored to make the position
of this chamber clear, that we could
not take any action which might be
construed by our intermountaln
friends as placing burden upon
them in asking that lower rates be
made to the Pacific coast than to
their territory.
"I believe you can quite we'll UNI
derstand that we cannot discriminate
between our customers in the inter-
mountain country and our customers
on the Pacific coast to the extent
that we should join in an application
of this character, particularly IN
view of the fact that, as you know,
we have all-water rates to Pacific
coast points comparable with the
port-to-port rates from the Atlantic
seaboard cities to Pacific coast
points.
II am sure you know we want to
assist the carriers in every way pos
sible to maintain as high a level OF
rates as is at all consistent with the
service rendered, but we cannot, as
you must admit, sacrifice the inter-
est of the jobbers and manufacturers
20 the extent that we feel we would
be doing if we were to join in this
