luty of the Church to the rrlvlleffd
tlanses-Why Educated Teople Are Not
In the Church The Church's Opportu
nity. Right Rev. William Lawrence, D. D.,
bishop of Massachusetts, gave the first
of a series ot lectures to be delivered
by various speakers before the Church
club of the diocese of Connecticut In
Trinity church last evening. A large
audience was present to hear the bish
op, who spoke on "The Mission of the
Church to the Privileged Classes," in
substance aa follows:
"During the last thirty or forty years,
and especially during the last decade,
there has been a great effort made by
the churches to reach the masses. The
effort has been made to bring the
church into the midst of the working
people, and it has resulted in religious
enthusiasm in the church, and the
many lives of the people and of the
clergy have been turned towards this
work.
'"I wish to speak to-night of another
mission of the church and one far more
difficult the mission of the church to
the privileged calsses.
"Altogether too large a part of the
educated people of to-day are not a
part of the institutional church. This
neglect of the church by educated peo
ple is true not only of New England,
but we have the same reports from the
center and west, and the question, Why
do not people go to church as they used
to? has been earnestly discussed in
England.
"The fault of this estrangement is
not entirely on their side, but the
church has also its sins. , There are a
great number of men from Christian
homes who come to college or to schools
to prepare for business where they hear
truths laid as truism. They find them
selves in contact with two difficult
modes of lives, and the question is
whether their religious life will develop
along with their new life or be neglect
ed. "Another class is composed of those
who, having tasted of all the vices of
life, attempt to cover it up by pretend
ing that hypocrisy is paramount in the
church. ..."';.
"Again is the church meeting the
needs of that large class of young men
and women who are led on by the
etudy of the truths of modern science
In advance of the ideas of former gen
erations. 1 '
"The upper note of the last fifty years
has been the love of truth, truth shrill
: and discordant, as sometimes it may
be and yet the truth, and there has
been less regard for ancient tradition.
We must regret the attitude the church
has taken in this matter, and we must
hang our heads in shame that the
curch has been afraid to look the truth
In the eye.
"As an example !of this We may wit
ness the reception which the great sci
entist,. Charles Darwin, at first met
with from' a so-called religious press.
These experiences have taught the
church something and . enlarged her
outlook and sympathy. -:':. . ' .
-J'There has been a reaction, on the
other hand, against the evils which flow
from a separation of science from relig
ion. .
"Here is the church's opportunity and
If she undertakes the work she may ac
complish much., 'The large universities
of the present time present a field for
the church's most earnest effort among
the student body. We need to put men
of large views and wide sympathies In
contact with the universities. We
need money, not so much to build large
buildings as to support strong one. It
Is time to emphasize the grandeur, con
tinuity and glory of the church.
"Through all the ages only, one or
ganization has stood for truth
morality, and that is the church."

NEW MATRON WELCOMED.
A Gala Occasion at the Young Women's
Christian Association Headquarters
Last Evening.
It would be a difficult matter to find
a more charming and pleasant recep
tion than the one given last night by
the Young Women's Christian associa
tion in h&nor'of Mrs. Means, the asso
ciation's mew matron. ' The snacious
rooms, the ' adornments of which are
triumphs) of daintiness and cosiness,
were bright with light and gay with
pretty blossoms, the introduction of
palms, ropings of laurel and cut flow
ers adding grace and charming attrac
tiveness.1 To welcome the guests were Mrs. C.
'C. Talc'ott, the association's secretary,
and the honor guest, Mrs. Means. Con
tributing largely toward the success of
the evening were many musical and
literary numbers in choruses and solos.
Especially worthy of praise were sev-
eral selections by Mrs. Charles Vishno,
rendered in her always delightful style.
Clearly a feature of brightness were
two large tables very prettily trimmed
with broad-red satin ribbons and shad
ed candelabra. Attractive in addition
were several bowls of red carnations
mingled with fern leaves, Delicious
lemonade was served by Mrs. Betts and
Mrs. Means from a huge and costly cut
glass punch, bowl, kindly loaned for the
occasion by Mr. Bright of Orange
street, together with glasses and ladle.
Candy, cake, chocolate and various
confections were dispensed by Mrs.
Frank T. Lee and , Miss Genevieve
Wells. The members of the association
turned out in force to do honor to their
new matron, who is most charming and
lovely. Already in her short term of
service she 'lias won the liking and es
teem of all, the girls all opening de
claring their fondness and affection for
her. $
The social life which pervades the
club rooms and the good fellowship
which is characteristic of the members
makes it a most desirable home for
self-supporting women. Among last
evening's guests were: President Mrs.
H, B. Eowe. Miss Zella Bishop, Miss
Agnes H. Gilbert, Miss Elliott, Mrs.
Tracy Peck, Mrs. F. A. Betts, Mrs. G.

tion to one, ejecting by acclamation.
There was not a dissenting vote.,
Mr. Beecher of Seymour moved that

TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION
UOVSE Jtr A CLOSE VOTE ADOl'l'S
TUB COXPJSUISXCE BiLI..
Wide JUvergonce of Views on the Sub
jectPlainly Not a Party Issue, Though
Generally Republicans Favored the
Measure All of Connecticut's Represen
tatives Voted for the Rill.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 27. iA ac
cordance with the notice given on Mon
day, Mr. Danford, rep., of Ohio, in the
house to-day called up the conference
report on the Immigration bill. An
agreement was reached by which the
debate on the report should run until
4:15, when the vote should be taken.
Mr. Danford took the floor and made
the opening argument in support of the
report. As it passed the house, he said,
the bill applied the' educational test
only to males. This test was now ex
tended to females. It was this exten
sion of the educational test, he said,
which caused the principal antagonism
to the adoption ot the conference re
port, on the ground that it would sepa
rate families. Husbands might be ad
missible and wivea excluded, or vice
versa. If the bill became a law, he
said, its provisions would be well un
derstood abroad by prospective, immi
grants, and very few families would
apply at our shores for admission who
W;ere not eligible. If any did, the
steamship companies were obliged to
return them.
He drew a graphic picture of the
over-crowding in the great centers of
population, the great numbers out of
work and the constant necessity of re
lieving them from want and starva
tion. He drew attention to the Corliss
amendment, which was designed to pre
vent the "birds of passage" from cross
ing the Canadian border each year in
the spring and returning again In the
fall. They took advantage of the high
wages paid in the United States. They
paid no taxes and contributed nothing
to the common weal. He thought that
this bill was less drastlc'than the one
which passed the last house.
In conclusion he said this bill did not
go as far as he would like to g-o, be
cause he believed that the present un
employed in this country to-day con
stituted the greatest danger to the re
public. .
Mr. Barthold, rep., of Maine who
had charge of the opposition to the
conference report, followed in favor of
the rejection of the report and instruct
tions to the conferees to insist upon
certain modifications of the bill. As
one of the conferees, he said, he, had
refused to sign the report because it
would separate husband and wife,
parent and child, and, further, it could
hot only exclude illiterates, . but all
those who could not read and write the
language of their "native or resident
land." Reason, and not prejudice and
passion, he trusted, would prevail In
the consideration of this subject.
These drastic provisions, Mr. Bar
thold said, Were not contained In eith-"
er the house or senate bill and their
appearance vindicated his expressed
fear some weeks ago that if the bill
went to the conference it would return
in a shape which could not be justified
to the constituents of many represen
tatives and would offend the sense of
justice and of right in the country. The
bill, he asserted, would defeat the purpose-nominally
urged by Its advocates,
of establishing an educational test. It
would shut out, for Instance, a class
of Germans who had for Jhree hundred
years made their horrtes in, Russia, the
language of which they did not speak,
also, many residents in Alsace-Lorraine,
who had not yet "acquired . the
German language. , , .
Many 'members Interrogated Mr.Bar
thold with A view to demonstrate that
the language of the bill would not
work such disadvantage aa he Imag
ined, to all of whom he said his object
was to perfect the measure so as not
to expose desirable Immigrants to the
jeopardy involved .ln,the present form
of the bill. Several suggestions were
made as to the best manner in which
to secure this ehfl, ,but friends of the
bill found none of 'them acceptable.
Referring to the statement that the
bill was , intended , to reach especially
the Russian Jews Mr. Barthold. said:
"If in this dawn of the twentieth
century my constituents should ask me
to joint in further persecution of them
I would lay down my duties here, re
turn to my sanctum and write edito

" 3
rials against such an Inhuman proposi
tion." (Applause,)
C. W. Stone, rep., of Pennsylvania,
advocated the adoption of the confer
ence report, saying that if it were not
adopted congress would do nothing at
this session toward restriction of im
migration. The demand for the pas
sage of the bill, he sald.had been made
by the national convention of the re
publican and democratic parties and
further the immigration of recent
years entered into disastrous competi
tion with the woi'klngmen of the coun
try forcing them to either, take' low
wages or to abandon their labor. If
the te.s:t proposed in the law had been
in effect the past year it would have
kept out 68,163 immigrants from Rus
sia, Italy and Austro-Hungary, from
which countries' generally the undesir
able class came, while only 4,116 would
have been returned to Germany, Swed
en and Norway; England and Ireland,
which furnish the desirable Immi
grants, t .
Speaking of the distribution of the
immigrants, Mr. Stone said that of the
343,000 who came in last year 224,650 re
mained in Massachusetts, New York
and Pennsylvania, "It Is no wonder,"
he said, with great earnestness, "that
the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Bar
thold) and other representatives from
western states oppose the passage of
an immigration bill, because it does not
trouble them."
Mr. Stone said that it was useless to
pass tariff laws intended to benefit the
working-men of the country unless they
were protected against the invasion of
pauper labor from abroad. (Ap
plause.) The conference report was antagoniz
ed by Mr. Buck, dem?, of Louisiana.
Mr. Buck spoke of the benefits to Amer
ica from Immigration.
Mr. Johnson, rep., of Indiana, favor
ed the conference report. The bill pro
posed, he said, did not go far enough.
He wished one broad enough and dras
tic enough to meet the evil which the
legislation was Intended to meet. Many
immigrants could read and write who
were otherwise totally unfitted to be
come American citizens. The time had
come when American civilization was
in danger from the' invasion of foreign
hordes. ' , .
Mr. Parker, rep., , of New Jersey, ob
jected to the report of the conference
committee, because it went further
than the provisions of either the house
or -senate bill. '. . "
Mr. Corliss, rep., of Michigan, ex
plained the necessity of the provisions
in the bill, suggested by himself, aimed
at "birds of passage." In Detroit
alone, he said, there were 10,000 citizens
anxious to work, but unable to obtain
it, because of the presence of aliens
who were, there temporarily, defraud
ing American citizens out ; of . their
rights. . .
Mr. Walker, rep.; , of Massachusetts,
said that nothing in his experience as
a member of congress had made his
blood boll as had this conference re
port. , : The nlhills, "socialist and an
archist could easily pass the educa
tional test and come in. It would be
better to admit some of the honest
farmers and workingmen who could
not read. ,.
Mr. Cannon, rep., of Illinois, said he

Mr. Morse, rep., of Massachusetts,
said that Mr. Walker did not represent
the sentiment of Massachusetts on the
subject; it demanded restricted Immi
gration, and the pending bill met that
demand.

would not vote for a bill that permit

not vote for a measure framed special
ly to restrict the entrance of the Rub

Mr. Wilson, dem., ot South Carolina,
one of the conferees, ppoke in favor of
the report, saying that it was framed
upon the theory that the worklngman
was entitled to protection In his right
to earn a livelihood in the land of his

Mr. Dolllver, rep., of Iowa, antago

The debate was concluded by Mr.

can invite in those of other nations."

The vote was taken on the adoption
of the conference report, and on a di

W. Wheeler in the' superior court, in
this city, this afternoon dismissed the
divorce case of Clark vs. Clarfc The
plaintiff is the daughter of Postmaster
Fowle of Durham, and the grounds al
leged was Intolerable cruelty. . The do

Speculation In the Stock Exchange wu
; Llfelea Yetterdny. .
New York, Jan. 27. Speculation at
the stock exchange was lifefess again
to-day. Here and there, owing to pe
cial causes, some wide changes were
noted, but 'the majority of the usually
active issues dragged along In a listless
way.
A feature of the session was the de
pression in the Hocking Valley securi
ties, the common falling 2, to 7, the
lowest figure yet reached. The consol
idated 6s dropped ' to 68, and, the
general 6s 6, to 63; the former subse
quently rallied to.' 70' and the stock
to 8: The' break wa due mainly to
fprced sales 'of securities- held In loans.
Reports of a receivership could not be
confirmed, although the rumor was
again widely circulated. In February
and March 'the company' has interest
charges 'of about three hundred thou
sand dollars to meet. ', '
In consequence-the efforts of the
managers pf the bituminous roads to
settle their differences and restore rates
is anxiously" awaited. The Ohio soft
coal association was in session at Co
lumbus', 'O., to-day, but up to the close'
of business nothing of a definite char
acter could be obtained. The anthra
cite coalers were also heavy at times. ;
Delaware and Hudson and Lacka
wanna Were pressed for sale oft fears
of unfavorable annual reports. The
first named company submitted its
statement for the year ended Decem
ber 31, 1896, just near the close. It
showed a loss in net earnings of $590,
243, and a deficit of $684,988. In 1895 the
deficit was $85,606. Dividends earned
last year were a fraction over 5 per
cent, against 6 in 1895. In both years
7 per .cent, was paid to stockholders.
The Lackawanna report is due later in
the week, and the best Information is
that this company will also make a
poor showing. :
The general market, was not specially
Influenced by the heaviness of the coal
properties and held tolerably firm until
the publication ot the. Delaware and
Hudson report, when a slightly weaker
tone was noticeable. . . -
At one time the grangers showed a
tendency to Cut aloof from the general
market, the December statement of the
St. Paul having exceeded the expecta
tions of the bulls. For the period nam
ed the road reported a gain In net earn
ings of $4,148. It was said that the
Burlington for the same month will
also show a slight increase in net. This
statement is looked for to-morrow.
Outside of the Issues named there was
nothing in the market to call for spe
cial comment. Commission house busi
ness continued dull, while London op
erations cut no figure whatever in the
dealings. Speculation closed quiet.
Net changes show losses of ',41 per
cent., the latter in Delaware and Hud
son. , Long Island advanced 2 per cent.,
to 46, aa compared with the last re
corded sale at the stock exchange.
Bonds were irregular to-day. Trans
actions aggregated $1,420,000.
