I. ( Drktkk, June 10. Four great mine In four
' J camps of th Stato ore nt this time attracting
. Its ' much attention. These are tha Gregory-Bobtail
i' ftM -, t Central City, the Tom-Boy at Telluride, the
K tn V Yankee Qlrl at Bed Mountain, and IheCommo-
fc Ik a doro at Credo. The Gregory-Bobtail, the oldest
E (iE 1 '&rR0 B0d nilne ln th, s,Atc' nu sgsln revealed
f ilK ' Tronder'ull)r rlch chute. This Is the mora
p Interesting from Ihe fact that during Its thirty-
L K eight years of production, amounting to a total
tf 'at t of 7.000,000. It has never failed to show somo
7 vnluca from work, though In recent Tears
f' E f It has been of little profit to the manage-
, Br ment. Blnce the revlral of (told mining
If. ' 'n lne Btftle' when Central City came once
jK more to the front with a large amount of new
f. B Machinery and new blood, spasmodic attempts
IS K " to restore the Gregory-Bobtail havo been made.
I : ijL I-o't Tear a London syndlcato had almost closed
It' jM. ' a deal for Its purchase, but that sale fell through.
It' iW The Oold Coin Company, which Is a new enter-
f' 8L prlso backed by New York capital, mndo quite a
mk W . record last year with n group of twenty claims
Ife It', In the Central City district, and, spurred on by
)f W t this success, the same company decided to specu-
' ffi '" ,ulc ,,"1 lhe oll 0aTory-Bobtall, which for
f JF i many years hss been indifferently worked by
Iff vT leasers on portions of tho property. A louse and
If- tt '' bond, amounting It is said to ".100,000, was signed
1$ If and tho new company started to put tho great
M'j, ' ) property In shnpo. For three mouths, aided by
It t ' new and conipleto machinery, themlles of under-
I Kg - ground burrows were explored nnd put Into shape
for senstblo practical operation, and last week In
Bv j i i the ninth lovel n body of oro was encountered
Hi f which excels anything horetofor'j found In tho
HL i i properly. Tho voln is ti-.rnty Inchos wide, a
Mj, 1 , black flint thickly streaked with wlro gold. Tho
H. j wire gold Is so strong nnd heavy that pieces nro
K- found where tho broken quartz hangs together
j , i by these gold bands and stringers. Tho Oold
H y h, Coin Company will now exploro this now chuto
H j" ; fully and a few wooks will show how great this
H'f i1 strike really Is. All mining men now know that
Hf & J- ihoTom-Iloy at Telluride is ono of the richest
!& & J mines over discovered In tho State, and tho Lon-
?J ' donrompany whlchlastyearpurrhasedthcprop
Hj -fc- ' erty will get Its original purchase prlco back In
H' X "i dlrldcads befaro tho end of tho present yoar. A
HI ff v development tunno!, started early last year to
Ht - v- explore the property at doptb. last week came
HU 4f ' upon tho oro chute nt a depth of 30 feet below
H K- the lowest workings In the mine, and tho assay
Hj: I tests from the vein there openod showed tho ore
HK '( to bo even richer than at any point along tho
Hi IK,' 2,000 feet of vein already known. The vein
Hj.' "' runs from 9 to 14 feet in width and every par-
BJj'l t tlclo of the vein matter Is avallablo for conccn-
BJl i tration. The company pays handsome dividends
HI' -,- every month.
HJ J The Yankee Girl, on Bed Mountain, was pur-
HJi i"' chased by Gtdrge Crawford in 1880for $125,000.
BJ' J It was then a rich sliver mine, and one carload
HJ; J, that year returned $37,000, while a number of
HJjv l other car loads paid from 923,000 to 935,000
fc ; each. Over 92,000,000 In dividends was paid
HJI t out when tho initio was sold to on English com-
HK h puny for 91.500,000. Then followed some years
Hf;t it of profit, others of great expense, and when the
Hf i ' sill cr slump occurred thomlno was closed down.
HJ . ' This wook Mr. Crawford, who has been trying to
Hjj i start up the mlno, succeeded In closing a deal
Hj' i whereby sonio Eastern capital will be put Into
HJ' ;:; the property, and it is to be immediately re-
Ht' j opened and developed still further. Enough
HK i money will be available to folly equip and op-
Hif i' erate tho mine until Its great vein has been
HK j , thoroughly explored.
HB-" y The Commodore has for months been shipping
Hj'j $ . a heavy tonnage of rich sliver ores bearing some
BK . v gold, and now that all tears of expensive lltlga-
HlK v,. ' tlon have been quieted, by reason of an amicable
HJh f aettlement with the Amethyst company over
H V -- conflktlng Interests ln tho Sunnyslde claim,
HJ - v. through which tho great vein runs, the mine
H f', can go ahead and rontlnuo tho great drainage
HJ ' ,'f : tunnel, which is to run Ave miles under Bacbe-
Hi lor Mountain and reach the vein at great depth,
Hj ''v v The recent strike of rich oro In tho MollleGtb-
HJ j J- sou nt Aspen has been hedged about with so
HJ i f,-; ,' much secrecy that It isdifllcult to know Just
B .' -1 ' what to bclievo about it, Tho men employed nt
H ' r the mlno aro buying up stock In the company as
H ( ( fast as they can raise the money, and none of
HIEv them at this timo cares to dispose of his hold-
I ', - lngs. Tbey are banking heavily upon tho future
.; development of this strike. The market quota-
' f tlons took quite an upward Jump recently, but
i lagged back again and remains don n in splto of
'V tho rerorts of the new strike.
' p The water flow in tho Cripple Croek district
j':; In tho big mines is now reported to be subsiding,
j r For months the big mines had to fight tho floods
I i ? that rushed Into the shafts and Immenso pump.
Hj ' $ , Ins- plants were Installed. Now these pumps are
I J i not working as much as when first Installed.
j ) y The various tunnels show a greatly diminishing
I -. volume of water. Tho Klktnn Company hold its
I ; '' .1 annual meeting Inst week and reelected all the
K I old officers. The annual report showed receipts
H i ; from ore during the car of 9533.501; dividends
H t ' ' paid. 91110,000. The net profits were .101,377,
H. . (v and lhe tompan j-hna on hnnd Government bonds
Wt it" to the Hmoiint of 9124,310, and there is 9107,-
H - V 718 ln the treasury. The annual report shows
T a great oro rcservo yet remaining untouched.
I -li Forthe past three months Henry lllncknood,
j ! j an Afro-American, bna been working on some
h i claims on the hills between Soda Creek and Chi-
n Ki cago Creek, in the Idaho hpiings district. This
Tat . ft, week he opened up a four-foot vein near the
If aurface which shows streaks of free gold of sur-
V ' prising richness. Upon the strengih of this dls-
i . covery he has had an offer of 90,000 cash for a
t- , one-half interest in his holdings, which he
IX) promptly refused.

up a 4s-foot body of ore, which is tho counter-
Sart ot the rich strike made recently ln the
lonynnmlne. Ills on tho 315-foot level, and
much ot it is worth 91 an ounce The Wedgo
mlno Is down 350 feet, and tbo oro has grown
richer with depth. No sloping has been dono.
and drifts have been run at only two levels, but
tbe mine has produced about 985,000. It has
paid for its on 11 development, and for somo time
has been paying regular dividends ot 2 per cent,

In anticipation of Ihe heated term thero arise
ach year tn this city ahost of summer charities
holding out their caps with more or less specious
pica for tha contributions ot tho philanthropic
Before the first whiff of heat comes they are
plucking at tho pockets ot tho "upper classes"
for the benefit of the "lower classes." Many of
these charities are worthy ln purpose, honest in
administration, and highly effective In tho reltof
ot suffering. Others are schemes for tho profit
and agRrandlrcment of tho Initltutors, and a
few aro not only dishonest, but ridiculous as
well.
No branch of so-called philanthropy has been
more heralded abroad than tho fund for provid
ing tho suffering masses with Ice. Conceived in
the same spirit which animated tho Iter. Mr.
Stlgglns ot Pickwick tamo to mako up his collec
tions for providing the Infant negroes In thoWest
Indies with flannel waistcoats and moral pocket
handkerchiefs. It has been managed on similar
lines and with equally benoflcent effect. While
organized and responsible charities aro busy
distributing milk or furnishing medical attend
ance to those needing It, or sending tho children
of the tenements and tbo gutters to tho country
side, the so-called "Ice Fund," responsible
happily for itself, to no one, proceeds to gathor
In tho shekels of tho gulllblo and devoto them to
the noble work of furnishing somo two thousand
and odd dollars' worth of Ice (without allowance
for melting) for 916,0001 There Is nn clement
of finance In this charity which cannot but ap
peal to tho thoughtful man.
Even if 915.000 worth of Ice were distributed
among the poor ln return for tho 913,000 donatod
by tho public to tbo fund, it la doubtful If even
91,500 worth of actual benoflt. In comparison
with what might have been ochloved along other
lines, would accrue. The solemn, sober, and sad
fact Is that tho "suffering tenement dweller',
(which Is tho generlcal pet namo given by tha
" fund " to Its benoflciartes) doesn't care particu
larly nbout Ice. Neither does his wife nor his
children. For himself ho would prefer beer,
generally speaking. Ills wife would rather have
a new ribbon or a slice of pineapple, and tho
youngsters would with great enthusiasm trade
off a twenty-pound (hunk of ice for a stick of
striped candy, provided they couldn't get two
or more sticks for It. This truth may come ln
the nature of a shock to the philanthropic citi
zen who has been spending his money for the
fund and for tho poor 80 per cent, for tho fund,
20 per cent, for tno poor but it Is nevertheless
the fact, and any man of Intelligence can satlsfr
himself by an afternoon's walk through tho
crowded portions of tbo cast sldo that, com
pared to other beneficial uses to which tho
money might be devoted in that quarter, the
expenditure ot it for Ico is not far removed from
sheer waste.
This must not be taken as Implying that ice Is
not ln use on tho east side and in other tene
ment districts. On the contrary, it is a staple
article of trade In hot weather, regulated by tho
law of supply and demand. Tbe hotter the day
the greater the demand for this commodity and
tho livelier tbo bargaining. On a very hot day
the amount of money spent ln tho tenement dis
tricts for ice is probably a full tenth of the
amount spent for soda water. Nobody who baa
ever seen the mother ot a family break up a
three-cent lump of ice and apportion the frag
ments among her progeny, bidding them
eat it quickly before It has time to disappear,
and haa heard her vaunt It over her
neighbor, whoso extravagance extends no fur
ther than unripe watermelon or mucilaginous
candy for her offspring, can doubt that a gen
eral distribution of Ice throughout tbe slums of
tho city would perceptibly ralso the average ot
human happiness there. The same la true of
Malaga grapes, paste diamonds, and multi-colored
chronics. These do not belong more spe
cifically In the category of luxuries, as far as
the tenements are concerned, than does ice.
On a recent very warm day a 8cs" reporter
went down into Essex street to gather some in
formation. If there is a street In the city where
coolnoss of whatsoever kind la at a premium
that street Is Essex. Its blgh tenement walls
shut ln nnd conserve the heat. Stray breezes
wandering up from the river Ioso themselves In
tho network of thoroughfares and never get to
Essex street. Forced to leave their fetid tene
ment rooms for air, tho swarming popu
lation awelters on tho stoops and the sldo
walks. It is a sun-baked and super-populated
inferno. In this street the ped
dlcn, or cooling things do a thriving bus
iness. They are the samo peddlers who In tho
winter sell from their tarts coal and wood. Now
thoso carta aro tilled with blocks of Ice wrapped
in jute bagging, with a Ailing ln of watermelon
and sliced pineapple. Thus the Ice docs doublo
duty: It preserves tbe fruit and is Itself it com
mDdlty to bo sold at u good profit. On that hot
afternoon tbe street rang with tho slogan of tho
peddlors:
"Ico OI Ico 01 Watermelon, pineapple.
Ice O!
Around each cart was a llttlo group of bar
gaining women, thoso of them who intended
purchasing ice carrying tin basins or pans.
"How much for this piece I" A slatternly
woman pointed to a bit of ice that might have
weighed between four and five pounds.
"Six cents," t,ald the dealer, looking nt her
wltb a calculating eye.
"Six cental" walled tho woman, picking up
the piece, "for a two-pound piece llko that!"
"A good seven pounds," declared tho dealer.
"What would that weigh. Mike t"
"Better'n six. for sure," replied his partner.
"Say, you put that down, will you 1 Ain't It
meltin'fast enough without your handlln' itl"
" I should get a bigger piece aa that for 3 centa
down at the corner." said tho customer. " Look,
ho w fast it melts. What should It bo worth now f
I give you 4 cents."
" Take It along," said tho dealer. "I can't
spend time talkln '."
"Why should you pay so much for Ice. Mrs.
Warhafsky I" asked another woman who had
herself been dickering for a two-pound lump,
but had purchased 3 centa worth of melon In
stead which she bad placed ln her tin basin,
"Ain't thero ilce water for nothing around In
Houston slreol at tbe fountain I"
"My husband has his good Job," declared Mrs.
Warhafsky with pride, " and I can pay for my
own Ico water. 1 don't havo to drink out of tho
fountain." ,
"What will she do with the ice!" asked tho
reporter of one of tho peddlers.
-1 Make up a pitcher of Ice water and sit on the
front stoop drlnkln' it before tho neighbors.
Won't nobody else but her own family get any
good out of that Ice."
" Don't tbuy use the Ice to preserve food ?"
"D'jou think them tenements Is fitted with
fancy rofrlgyraterst" asked the man scornfully,
"I ain't sold a 20-pound chunk 011 this block this
season. They only want It for a show. It's no
more good to them tbnn so much dirt. I've seen
tho little kldB here cryin' bocause their mothers
was makln' 'em oat the ice. Ice water! They
don t need It. nn' if they do there's ire water
fountains a-plenty around hero, where thoy can
drink it till tbelr lnsides is froze. Thcv buy it
causa it's the swell thing, see; an' that fat Jew
woman that Just bought a chunk '11 feel like she
was wenrln' diamonds while It lasts. If some
feller camo down here with n big wngon load an'
gave it away, bo's It was common, them folks
wouldn t hardly take tho trouble to como down
the steps after It."
That this la true nobody knows better than
the police. Last year they conducted an Ico dis
tribution. All the deserving poor who wanted
ice were directed to npnly at the station houses.
In tho first allotment from three to live tons
wore sent to each of tho downtown station
houses. At first there was a great rush tor tho
ice. mostly on the part of those who had never
had that commodity in tbelr housea before.
Ten and twenty pound lumps wero given out
and carried away, and bitter was tho denuncia
tion of the police by thoso who discovered that
the lumps which they had gone to so much
trouble to get soon resolved themselves into val
ueless water, despite the best preservative ef
forts of the owners. What good was this stuff
that visibly shrank while )on held it in your
hands, and was painful to hold into tho bargain!
They had boen fooled once. That was enough,
and thoy didn't come again.
IUaulls unpleasant for tbe polios developed.
Nobody camo to take away the Ico; therefore It
stayed and melted. The temperature of the sta
tion bouse was several degrees below the nor
mal, and the atmosphere was decidedly clammy.
One station had Its loo stored In tho cellar, Tbo
cellar was flooded, and theBorgeantgot malaria.
Another, where the ice was left on the sidewalk,
could be reached only by fording. Half ot ths
patrolmen had colds in their noses. Still the
unfeeling, "suffering tenement dwellers," not
knowing enough to realize how they were pant
ing and perishing for Ice, declined to avail them
selves of their glorious opportunities, and ths
station housea remained In Arctic misery until
the shrewd saloon keepers came to the rescue.
"Bring us Ice." said they to their customers,
" and we?ll give you beer for it.
Here was benefit Indeodl Free ice was a
glorious institution. Long lines again formed
at the station houses bearing pans and pails and
basins in which to carry away tho portions.
Each man begged for a twenty-pound lump.
This be could exchange for a small whiskey or a
largo boer. while a ten-pound lump was quoted
as a small beer.
The distribution of tee went merrily on and
the suffering tenement dweller rejoiced exceed

Itacs prejudice was tho origin of two of ths
cases which City Magistrato Moads was obliged
to settle ln the Ccntro Streot Pollco Court yes
terday morning. The first was that of a pretty,
dark-haired Irish-American girl, who had her
mother summoned to court on a charge of an
noying her. The girl married a young Hebrew,
contrary to her mother's wishes, and the latter
had tried in various ways to got herto leave her
husband.
"Wo are lawfully mairled. Judge, but my
mother won't let us llvo In peace." aaid tho
young woman, "Sho follows me about from
place to place, and pulls and hauls me, trying to
get me away from my husband."
" Have you a marrlago certificate I" asked the
Magistrate.
"Yes, Judge, hero It Is," said the young wo
man producing tho certificate.
" Now, this j oung w oman seems to be lawfully
married," said Magistrate Meade to the mother.
"and so long as she is satisfied with her hus
band, you hare no cause for complaint."
"But she married a Jewl" exclaimed the
mother.
" That Is no crime, and you must promise not
to annoy her In the future, or I shall be required
to punish you. I will let you go only on those
conditions."
"It may not be a crime to you. but it is to
me, said the woman, na sho followed her
daughter nnd son-in-law out of court. Sho began
her annoyances again tn the corridor. The
young couple were obliged to tako refuge in tbe
court until she went away.
The other case waa that of Edward Salart, an
Italian, who lives on the second floor of the flat
at 50 Lalght street with his wife and two chil
dren. Ho was accused by Mrs. Sarah Brown,
who lives on the floor overhead, of climbing up
tbe rear lire escape and dumping a pan of ashes
on the floor of her sitting room.
"Nothing of tho kind occurred, your Honor.
This woman was out on the tire escape shout
ing; 'Dago!' Dago!' at us. and I simply went
put and told herto shut up. She called a po
liceman and had me arrested." said Halari.
Tho magistrate believed Mrs. Brown, how
ever, and fined Salarl 93, which be paid.

Tho Earl of Aberdeen, Governor-General of
Canada, two years ago visited the Mayflower
Mission on Jay street. Brooklyn, as tho guest of
the Bev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, pastor of Plymouth
Church. Ho took an interest in the Boys'
Brigade, which had Just been organized, and in
an address to tho boys said that as long as he
continued to bo Oovcrnor-Ocneral he would
present each year a silver medal as a prize for
conduct and efficiency, but that tho medal was
not to go to tbo same bov twice. Last June tbe
nrst medal nrrlvrd and was awarded to Albert
Blrkncll of 1 G9 Jay street, who had 100 per cent.
The Bev. Dr. Abbott was at the Mayflower
Mission yesterday afternoon, and he carried
with him the second medal. lie said that Blrk
nell again stood nt the top of tho list with 100
per cent., but under the rule adopted by ths
Earl of Aberdeen tbe medal must be presented
to the boy with tho next hlcliest percentage.
This was Wesley MrArdlr, 13 years old. of ISfJ
Jay street, who had 91) por cent. McArdlewaa
absent only one Sunday, but this reduced his
percentage. He received the medal. The next
three boys on the list each had 08 per cent.
They wore William. Augustus, and Henry Hill
man, brothers. The modal is of the size of a
silver dollar. On one side Is the Inscription,
"II. B. Governor-General's medal for conduct

Baby Carriage Starts Toward a Trolley Car
but It Is Overtaken la Time.
If you happen to see a fellow tn a blue uniform
ln r rout of a Williamsburg dry goods store re
member ho's a baby mindor. His duty is to look
after tho perambulators and babies left on tho
sidewalk by mothers who go Into the store to
shop. The baby minder at a store near Broad
way and Myrtle avenue was off duty a few days
ago and tho numerous babies ln carriages were
left alone. Ono of tho carriages started to roll
toward the curb. The motormanof an approach
ing trolley car saw tho perambulator rolling, so
did a man and a woman who were on tho side
walk. Over the curb and into the street went
tho carriage with the baby ln It yelling. The
motorman turned off his current and put on his
brakes. The man and woman dashed from ths
sidewalk. Into the street after the runaway per
ambulator. The man grabbed the baby In his
arms. The woman stopped the carriage Just ln
time to save It from being struck by the trolley
car. Both man and woman ware greatly excited.
" Oet out of the way," exclaimed tbe man who
had aaved the baby, brushing the woman aside.
" You big fool," replied the woman.
" You think you're smart in savins the empty
carriage," said the man.
"If you were In It I wouldn t hara saved It,
retorted the woman.
"What's the troublo here I" shouted a big
poltcvroan, pushing bis way through tho crowd
that had gathered.
"Thlscouplols fighting over their baby," said
a district messenger boy.
"It's not mine' chorused tbe man and ths
woman, and while they were apologizing to each
other for mutually believing tnat the other
owned the baby, the mother of the child walked
majestically out of the dry goods store and
slowly approached the policeman who now had
possession of the baby.
"Whydidnt you leave the child ln Its car
riage!" she said. "It wouldn't hare cried very
I long."
"Not It ths trolley car had hit It." said the
policeman. " Why didn't you take care of Itl"
" I," exclaimed the mother. "I take care ot It.
andme inside that store! Tbe ideal It's a city
a woman can't do her shopping without police
interference. The idea!"
The crowd laughed, ths policeman slunk
away, and the man who had saved the baby
continued to apologize to the woman who had
saved the perambulator.
DOTS AT BOXIXO MATCHES.
Cacao or lb Brrnt Attitude or th. Pollco
Officials Ialorvea.4.
That the boxing contests In this city have
been practioally smothered by tho police is In
largo part due to a fact which tho sports and
proprietors of the clubs have entirely over
looked, namely, the great proportion of minors
among the spectators. Two very prominent
city ofljolala, men whose vlows on this subject
would naturally hare great weight with the
police, are authority for this. Neither of them Is
willing to bo quoted by name while the question
of further contests is tn abeyance, but both were
very outspoken on this point.
" I have looked upon these contests with doubt
ever since they were Inaugurated," aaid one of
these officials; "but as long as the crowds were
made up of sporting men and business men who
have reached years of discretion. It seemed to
me that ths fights could not be very harmful.
But when It comes to filling up the clubs with

It is time to call a bait. Protests were made,
and they seem to have been of some effect."
" My attention was called to this phase of the
question," said the other official. 'by a young
nephew ot mine. Ills one thought, as far aa the
news of tho day went, was to road the prize
fighting column, and he remarked onoo, com
plalnlmtly, that lota ot ths other boys ln his
school went to the fights at a certain olub where
cheap prices are the rule. I Investigated that
matter and found that over one-half of the spec
tators were boys apparently under 19 years old.
From that timo I hare believed that fighting
should be prohibited In this city."
Neither of the ofttclJs would admit that hs
had communicated with the Pollco Board on tbo
matter, but thoro Is little doubt that the recent
severity of tbe police Inspectors In Interpreting
ths law was Inspired by higher authorities.

Clergymen Her. Divide In Opinion o. t0
Whether ateelssUsstlaal Law Demands 1 h.t
Iks Building Bo Hsssnaseraled- iiiW ,
Similar Case la KagUaal Was Dealt Uliu.
Clergymen of the Episcopal faith In this .-n,
are puzzled to determine whether the eu 1, si.
tlcal law demands tha reconsccration of a,
building of Calvary Church, at Fourth avemis
and East Twenty-first stroet.wlthln whore walls
a woman committed sulcldo n week uk-o. Ia
view of tho uncertainty of tho mutter, it i.
likoly that nothing will be done looking tovinri
that end until the return of Bishop Poittr la
tho latter part of the summer.
It Is generally agreed that thorn Is untiling It
the law of tho Protestant Episcopal t I. ,r ,
the United States of Amcricn that calls fur ths
reconsecration of arty sacred cdlllco v)nii Ins
been thus desecrated or profaned. In the Knr.
llsb Church, to which the Church In thisioua.
try looks for precedents In questions of lanonl
cal law. the necessity of wiping out the stain
caused by the shedding of blood Is rec oinioi,
although such an occurrence Is so Infrequent
that when an occasion arose seven years in
tho authorities of St, Paul's Cathedral were at
a loss, for the time, as to tho proper course is
pursue.
"A church once consecrated may not be onus
crated ogatn," writes a distinguished authority,
tr wl.1tti pnoricl rule of tho t-Annn 1au nn.
exception was, unless they be polluted by ths
shedding of blood; nnd ln that place the cano
supposes n reconsecration, though the coming
method in England was a reconciliation only."
The ceremony of reconsecration Is founded oa
a decretal of Pope Innocent III., which waioo
ensioned by tho bloody frays of tho pllgrtuis ts
tho shrine of St. Jago of Compostrllo. nnd its
purpose Is thus defined: "A church Is nut really
polluted because ot serious offence, but ths
ceremony of reconciliation Is performed in order
to arouse men Into contrition for sin; bclcg
bow, ln consequence or an atrocious dee 1, ths
building is In a sense polluted, so as to Lied rec
onciliation." Tbe latest suicido ln on Angellcan or Kpl-ee-
Eal church previous to tbe recent instate la
alvarr, this city, was committed ln t. Panl'
Cathedral, London, In the f all of 1 s!(i, when
Edward Eoaton, a surveyor's clerk, shut 1 Itn'tii
twice ln the head with a revolver while Mttlnr
In the cathedral during the course of a "n-rmoa
by Prebendary Eyton. Immediately after ths
suicide the dean and chapter of the cathedral,
with the view of ascertaining whether stir ste
clal service would be necessary, addressed a let
ter bo the Bishop of London and asked him ts
"exempt and reconcile the said cathedral thuri-h
from all canonical impediment and from every
profanation contracted and Incurred in conse
quence of such act of blood-shedding," If hs
should think it proper.
Tbe Bishop of London, in response to this ad
dress, then conducted whst was described as a
"service of reconciliation, or act of reparation to
Almighty God. for the dishonor recently done to
Ills sanctuary." The following la the form of
service adopted by Bishop Temple, now Arch
bishop of Canterbury, on that occasion:
" In tbs name ot God, amen. Whereas, it has
been represeuted onto us. the Bight Hon. and
Right Rev. Father ln God. Frederick, by Divine
Providence Lord Bishop of London, by a petition
under tbe common seal of the dean and chapter
of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul ln London,
that during the performance of divine servica
ln the said Cathedral Church ot St. Paul on faun
day, the 26th day of Beplember last, one
Edward Easton committed suicide ln the said
cathedral church by shooting himself with a
revolver, as would appear by lie records of tbs
Coroner of ths city of London, before whom an
inquest was held on the 1st of October int. as
to the cause of death, and a verdict returned of
' suicide whilst temporarily insane.' That the
aaid dean and chanter were advised that ths
sacred edifice of the said cathedral church had
been by snch act ot self-murder and by tbe blood
shedding consequent thereupon polluted and
defiled, and that it was therefore neorasary that
we should exempt and reconcile the said cathe
dral church from aJl canonical Impediment and
from every profanation contracted and incurred
in consequence of snch act of sniclde and blood
shedding by a sentenoe of reconciliation, and by
an appropriate religious servioe.
"And whereas tho said petitioners have hum
bly besought us to be pleased to pronounce such
sentence of reconciliation and to perform such
service within the said cathedral as may be re
quired by the ecclesiastical laws or may to us
seem meet and suitable; therefore we, the said
Frederick, Lord Bishop ot London, do, by virtus)
of and ln exercise of our episcopal authority,
hereby pronounce, decree, and declare ths said
cathedral church to be exempt and reconciled
from all canonical impediment and free from
every profanation contracted and Incurred by or
through the aforesaid acta of suicide and blood
shedding forever by this our definitive sentence
or final decree, which we givs and promulgate
by theso presents."
It is contended by some that the suicide of ths
woman in Calvary Church does not place that
edifice under the ban of pollution, because tbs
deed was committed In the vestibule ot ths
church and not in the auditorium, while others
argue that no such distinction Is recognlied
under the law, as the whole building is conse
crated and not alone the auditorium and ths
chancel.
