H- Vnnne at Duffy Street Baptist Church The repairs and alterations to Trinity Church, which were begun some- time ago. nre progressing, but owing to their ex tensive nature will not be completed, it thought, before the middle of October, or even later. The carpentry work which has been flr.iehed shows sorr* of the radical changes that will mark the new church from the old. The organ has been taken from the piade it formerly occupied in the eastern gallery and opposite the pulpit, and put fin the rear of the pulpit, which has thus been forced forward several feet to make room for the organ end the choir loft. The painters will begin work within a or two. having already erected the scaffold that will enable them to paint the roof. The color scheme will be one of unusual beauty, and alone will make Che church, when completed, ore of the handsomest In this regard in the city. The ceiling will be of a very light cream color, while the walls, beginning at the top with the same tint, will, by a gradual deepening, merge into a deep and rich otraw color .at their hoso. The galleries, together with the pulpit and organ loft will be finished in old ivory and gold, and the organ face and pipes will be made to harmonize. The church will be lighted by fifteen Clusters of electric lights, consisting of five incandescent lamps, placed in the celling, and six clusters, of three lamps each, placed under th* galleries. The pev.s will be painted to harmonize with the remainder of the s 'heme of dec oration. Anew carpet, also, will be fur nished. The organ, which is practically being rebuilt, will have n number of new gets of reeds, and will be almost twice as large as formerly and quite as good as new. Trinity Church was 50 years old this year, having been dedicated in ISSO by Rev. J. T. Evans, though the corner stone was laid about two years before the date of completion. Ret'. Bascom Anthony hopes to hold n semi-centennial service when the church shall have been completed, or, possibly, ft little later, perhaps not before the mid dle of November.

Mrs. Leonard L. Hill in Health Culture.. Although Mm a. Adelina Patti is past the half-century mark, she appears like a wo man of 30.

To an intimate admirer. Mrs. Leonard TANARUS,. I fill, recently returned from a visit to the great diva’s Welsh estate, Craig-y-nos, the famous songstress imparted ihe secret of her youthful appearance. An Evening World reporter received from Mrs. Hill at her sumptuous home, the recipes used by the "Queen of Wales" in preserving her beauty far beyond the time when most American women show the crows* feet and wrinkles of middle age. "When I visited Mme. Patti Ceder strom," said Mrs. Hill, "I found her at the little railroad station on her own es tates to meet me. I was surprised at her youthful appearance and her extra ordinary beauty. Afterward I learned the magic she employed. "Every morning she gets up at 8:30. takes a hath and a short walk in her gar dens. At 9 or a little after she eats a light breakfast consisting of fruit and rolls. "While she is eating her maids arrange her hair and she looks over her mail and determ l ies on her evening engagements. Then she writes a few letters and prac tices a half hoar on scales. Only twice in thirty years has she omitted this exercise. "At 11 she Is ready for a walk. Weather has no terrors for her; rain or shine, hot or cold, she ventures out just the same. When ii is pouring she can be seen in a long macintosh reaching nearly to the ground, high rubber boots and an old slouch hat on her head, sauntering off for a few miles' walk. "When she walks she walks, and most American girls would he put to shame trying lo keep pace with her. She does not pull her collar over her ears to pre vent the rain from beating on her. In stead she holds her face up and delights lo feel the rain streaming all over it. That is how I keep my fresh color,’ she says, 'that is why there are no wrinkles around my eyes nor creases in my cheeks.’ "After her walk she rests and then takes lunch In her conservatory. ‘No. cof fee, tea, chocolate or ice water for me,’ she told me. T trace half the ills of you American women lo such things.’ I never saw her drink iced water. Rich foods she sedulously avoids, though she is fond of them. She Is a believer in ealing enough and of plain, substantial dishes. "After dinner, which lasts an hour or two, she sings, dances and plays,and at 12 o'clock every night goes punctually to bed. "Mtne. Pa’.ll is a fervent advocate of fresh air. She revels in it. On fair days she puts on n short skirt and a pair of thick anil comfortable walking shoes and tramps miles into the hills and vales of Wales. ’What nils you girls?’ she used to say to us. 'Where is your ambition, your life? Don’t sit about doing nothing; get into ihe air and walk. Then, nt my age, you will be as rosy and healthy as I am, and not broken down and suffering with all sorts of complaints.’ She took ns to the village and ordered us heavy shoes, but no one could keep up with her. "Although she allows no cards In her house, she joins in all kinds of children games. There is exercise in them, she declares, and that is what the body needs. Dike all singers, she avoids draughts, but she can’t get in'O the air open enough. Cosmetics she abhors. "Her voice is as fresh and tuneful now as when she sang years ago. The great English doctor, Sir Morell MacKenzie, told her that on account of her excellent care of herself she would sing at St) as well as she did at 40. The woman who com mands *5,000 every time she sings and looks twenty-five years old attributes her youth, her health, her splendid constitution and figure to a sensible and simple ob servance of nature's laws. —One of the prominent surgeons of Bra zil h s succeeded in se, aratlng ti e two famous twins.

John Masters, for the first year ar.d a half of his pastorate in Glenco kiik. got along fairly well with every member of ids church. It was on the ques tion of where the new manse should be built that he first broke with a few of Ills people. He made no efforts to reclaim them; but waited till the time set by the church cede regarding non-church-goers had elapsed, and then struck names from the communion roll. Unfortunately, as time went on, the minister gave offense to numerous others. He took part in politics, in the grange, in everything, people said. |<ar by year the disaffected party grew and the minister’s congxega'ion grew cor respondingly less. Hard, unkind and bit ter things began to be said, first on one side, then on the other. As in politics there were two parties— the "ins" and the ’outs." The outs peti tioned presbytery, and w.re hard sym pathetically. This made the ins and the minister indignant. The minister and his party attempted to build anew church, but the others op posed i\ The church, however, was bui t. Soon after this 'he presbytery in which Glenco was situat'd resolved to send a stud nt cat chist to the. Glenco field. But a protest came, and b fere the young man reached his fit Id of labor he was re c lied. So things dragged on for several years. The ca-e was carried fiom presbytery to synod, and fre m synod o general assem tly: but still it remained unsettled. Finally, after eleven years of visitations, and commitees. and petitions, and counter petitions, it was resolved by the presby tery, that, notwithstanding the opposition of the minister of the charge, and some of the people, another student should be sent to the Glenco field. • • The little train was vigorously pushing its way up the green river valley. There wore not many passengers. In one of the rear seats, quite alone, and seeming to wish to he that way, was a quiet young man with a book. The sun seemed not to have touched him for months. But though his face was un crowned, it was not a sickly one. He lifted his eyes as the conductor came by, and they showed them a brilliant black —clear and deep. This was Horace Murray, stu dent, who had Just completed his second year in Mount Brown Theological Col lege. The young man was suddenly inter rupted. The car door opened sharply and a voice called: "Glenco! Glenco station next!" Then it shut again with a clash. The train came, at length to the plat form and Murray stepped quickly down. A group of girls, giggling and clinging to oach other’s arms, stood some distance to his left. "There he is," one whispered. "That’s ihe new minister. I pity ’in." The few men who were present eyed the stranger suspiciously—men at country sta tions always do that. Some of them drew away. As they went Murray heard one of them say: "If that's the new preacher, he’s goin’ to meet trouble; for John Andrews was fellin’ me the kirk’s to foe locked the mor row. Th’ old’ man's full o' fight 'bout this.’’ Murray looked around a little nervously. He eaw his trunk tumbled from the hag gage car in front. As he went toward It the conductor shouted, " ’B-o-a-r-di" and the train puffed away. It was scare clear of the platform, when, from behind the station building, where he had had to stay with a frightened horse, there came a large, rough, kindly-faced old farmer. He reached his broad, mus cular, hard hand and gripped Murray's thin, white one. "How are ye?” he said; ga'd to see ye; WUS fearin’ ye hadn't come.” This was Elder Wilson, the leader of the "discontents" in the Glenco kirk. "Get in," he said to Murray, "an’ we’ll drive over home. Tom’ll come after yar trunk." "Ye've heerd uv the trouble, I s'pose, foie ye were sent,” the elder said after a time. “Of some.” Murray said, “but I dldn t think it was serious.” "Inhere wus ye brought up?” he aski*. Murray explained that his home was in the adjoining province. "1 thought ye must be from over the water, or ye’d have heerd.” It dawned on Murray that the dispute must be of proportions he had not dreamed. He had intended to settle the troulbe by belittling it; but the elder's last remark g'ave him doubts as *to whether that method would do. If the ttouble wasn't real, people thought It was; and thereOvas little dif ference. Things must be taken as they were. Making light of the dispute, Murray saw, would not do; people would laugh at his ignorance. "Hev ye ever preached?” Murray said yes, and explained where. "Ye'll hev to do _er best here or the people'll still stick to the ol’ man, for he's no bungler in the pu'.p'.t.” It gradually came to the young man that the Committee of Presbytery had r.ot told him the worst. Elder Wilson's words sent a shudder through him. He was to be tried In a way he had not thought of. He was to stand as a rival of the o and pas tor day after day, and the old pastor was "no bungler!" The carriage stopped at a small gate in front of a farm house. “Sam,” Elder Wilson called; “come 'ere! This is Sam Hlolce’s," he said to Murray in a lower tone. "I want ye to meet Sam.” In a moment a big, hatless man. long hdred and beard and, came from the door, and on a half-run to the gale. The wind blew his hair atone wildly. “Wall,” he called as he came, “ye've got lm;" then to Murray, at the top of his voice: "Hao ye a gun wi* ye?” Murray confessed lie had not. For some time the three men talked. "He's been ordered by presbytery to open the church, and surely will not re fuse." Murray said, "and further, has not the announcement for a union service of a’l parties been out for to-morrow since Sunday last?" "Yes.” Elder Wilson said, "that was the agreement made with the co'mlttee. The church was to be open, and the young and the old man were to be there. A 1 par let 'greed to that.” ■They greed; but nil they keep ’greed?" put In Sam. "I say they won't. My wmian was at the corner no longer •go than noon, an’ 'twas goin' roun' there there’d be trouble tire morrow. The ol' man's the key an’ he's goin to keep it, they wus Pilin' her." The next morning iame in with a pour- I g rain, file mud was ankle and p. Oti th w hole, it was 0 .0 of till sv days wh n l! is comparatively lasy to persuade one's self that the only right thing ti do Is to stay Indoors. The Glenco field was cne if the largest in six count!' s. Tin rc were one hundred and forty tainill a. scattered over coun try twenty-five miles one way by [sixteen <hi. other All over this territory hud gone tin harpy n ws that on the first Sunday In May there w. uld lea union commun ion service In the Central Glenco kirk. Theto were tour other smaller ehutci'es In the 111 Id. hut nil were to come and sit together In the one church, after being twelve years apart. The gulf fixed fir so long was to be bridged. The old minister and his session had met the committee of presbytery, and all had been arranged. The moderator of preabytery was to coma and praaide, and on his right and left wers to be the old and the new ministers, who were after ward to work In harmony, i Then on that particular day two oaw brides and grooms were io "appear out.” So it happened that long before the hour appointed for service dozens were making their way through mud and rain toward the kirk. The people came for miles. Horace Murray, seated by Elder Wilson, approached the church without the slight est misgivings. How it rejoiced his heart, and encouraged him for the future, to see so many out in a pouring rain! He was to see a long-standing and acri monious dispute amicably settled. True, the day was ominous, but what of that. He arrived at the church and alighted. He was puzzled at first why so many should choose to remain standing out side in the rain; but he soon understood. Sam Bloice came quickly through the crowd to the carriage. "It’s jlst as I told ye’s," he said; "my woman was right. It’s locked," pointing to the door, "an’ is to be.” Both Elder Wilson and Murray turn ed. On the platform of the church sat a dozen or more women. Two of them were white and bowed. All were exposed to the sweeping, swishing rain; only a few had umbrellas. The crowd closed a little closer around the carriage. But no one spoke. What was there to say? Even Sam was quiet for a time. A great load from Glendale, six miles away, drew' up; then from the other di rection came one of the wedding parties. “Has the moderator come?" Murray asked at length of Sam. "Yes, an’ is in the manse this ten min utes." "Ye’d better go in." Elder Wilson said to Murray, "and see; tell them we’re wait in’ in the rain." The crowd opened and Murray went to ward the manse, that stood some twenty rods away. He rang, and there was soon before him a tall, dark girl. She had a firm, oval face, wine colored eyes set un der long black lashes, and high, gracefully curved brows. Murray knew she was no servant. He raised his hand toward his dripping hat. "Ip mister—the minister—your father, 1 suppose, in?" "Yes." she said. "Will you come in? There is a strange minister with him. who came a few minutes ago. They are in this room. You are Mister —?" “Murray," he said. She took her hand from the door knob and reached it to him. "We heard you were to be sent," she said. "Yes," he said, "I was sent, and I had to come." "We don’t blame you," the girl said sadly; "but I think the presbytery ore using papa unfairly. They want to tun him away; and he’s getting old now', and where w'ould he get another church after all this trouble and talk? And they’l turn him —and mamma—and rm out of the manse—andi we'll never have—any home—agairt." The last words were spoken between bursting eobs. Murray had not looked for this. He felt ashamed, dazed, confused. The wo man's tears had had their usual effect. Was he right in having come, or wrong 0 Perhaps the old minister was not, after all, to blame. She turned from him to th door and put her hand again on the knob. "Papa, may I come in?” she sobbed. A deep voice answered yes. But she did' not enter. She pushed wide the door, motioned Murray toward it then turned and went quickly away. The moderator reached for Murray's hand, but did not speak. The old min Ister sat silent, and without raising his eyes, for some time. By and by he spoke. His face bore the marks of deep agitation, but he spoke deliberately and firmly. "My people,” he said, rising, "woul not consent. They positively object tc opening the church to any minister but myself. They would not accept the set tlement we made, and neither can I now. They met last night and concluded to lock the church; they did so. and that way it Is to remain to-day. Is this the young man?” He turned to Murray and shook hands coldly. The minister of the Glenco kirk was a large, firmly-built man. He had a strong, full face, deeply set in a heavy gray beard. He gavee one the impression that, physically, his powers of endurance might be almost limitless. Murray turned from the room to go again to the waiting crowd in the r4r.. Both walked together to where the pa tient, now thoroughly drenched, crowd of 200 stood before the locked kirk. The old man told of the terms of the settlement; of how hard they bore, as he bad thought over them, on him: of how badly he was being used; of how, after being their minister for 16 years, he could not consent to being set aside and have another preside at communion service in his church. Murray then spoke briefly. He regret ted the action of minister and people. He had hoped the settlement was final and fair. He had come in the interests of peace, and was willing yet to seek to bring It about. Then the crowd began to break at the edges and melt away. It was stiil pour ing rain. Scarcely a word was spoken. The teamsters tightened their reins, and the heavy wagons wilh their loads lum bered away. Another attempt <o settle the dispute in the Glenco kirk had failed disastrously. It was six weeks after. For all that limo mat ers had stood as left on the eventful first Sunday in May. But now it was nearing the meeting of presbytery, when swift retribution was to overtake the offending Glenei minister, and those of his eongrega lon who had taken on themselves the awful responsibility of not only refus ng to obey the presbytery’s in junction. but of lo king the door In the moderator's face. It was violent, open re bellion. Between the locking of the ohurch and the meeiing cf presbytery many 'things were said In Gler.co. It was said there seemed to be no bad fe ling between the old and the y ting man; it was said, too. that now and th n, when the young man had no service in any of the other churches of a Surctev evening, he had been seen at the old man's service In the Glenco kirk, and ihet afterward he had been seen “goin’ into the manse.” Then it was known for a certainty that th day the young man s.rved “the pa per” on the minister—the summons to ap pear btfoie presbytery “to show cause why ho should noi be dis’iplined '—he had stayed all night. But It was wet tt-at ivenirg, end aga'n it wa< said he was “gettin' the old min to say things he could use, agin him at presbytery.” The day of me ting came, and the pres bytery met. Whin the GEnco case was callid a smile ran around at the expense of the moderator. Tills, however, soon gave place to a quirt seriousness. Reports of what had taken place weie read and heard. Then long, oftn animat ed discussions, followed. Nothing was ilic- Itid to jusify the cosing of the church. The old Glenco minis er had argued his case but had not proved himself clear of complicity In the closing of, and the de'erminatton lo keep closed, the Glenco kirk. He was firm. There was only one course open to the cour' It must move his suspension; and it did. The moderator was ready to put the motion, when the old Glenco minister rose to his feet. "Moderator," he said, and there was the ring of true eloquence In his voice— " Moderator. I have a word to say.” The oldest there could not recall a sim ilar or sadder scene. The motion that would be put in a moment would go with a sweep; it would mean the striking from the roll of ministers the name of one of the oldest there; it would mean the sever ltigof the pastoral tie, and not In the pres bytery's history had this baen done, e*. cept by the minister's wish or by detth; it would mean humiliation, dishonor, dis grace. The presbyters shrink from It. The Olenco minister was *. He had a wife, a family, a home, Could nothing yet be done? The silence and suspense were painful. "Moderatorhe said, "I will go home and open the church." The tired presbyters leaned back, re lieved. They breathed freely. The okl man eat down. The motion to suspend the minister of Glenco was never put. The following spring there came a petition from he Glenco field begging that the same young man be sent another summer. It was signed by the minister and both parties. Two years later there came another pa per from the Glenco field to presbytery. It was a unanimous call to the Rev. Horace Murray. The old minister is still In the Glenco manse; but there is a new' one there, too. The new minister’s wife has wine colored eyes. FILIPINOS FASTIDIOUS. For an Oriental People They Wa*h and Ilathe a Great Deal—Street Fountain un Hath Tub*. Much has been said of the dirt of Ma nila, but if one separates cleanliness and sanltariness, then the Filipinos, w’hile gen erally cleanly, are. acknowledged to have absolutely no idea of what is means to live in a sanitary way. While a Filipino housew'ife will throw her garbage directly outside her front loor, and live happily in an atmosphere laden with smells, the interior of her bouse is generally tidy and she herself almost always neat in her appearance. Another thing, if bathing is not so fre quent in the Philippines as it is in Amer ce, the women—both high and low shampoo their hair much more frequent !y and think nobody well regulated who •annot find time to do this at least once i week. Most of the women have long ind beautiful hair—albeit it Is all of the *ame dusky shade—and take pride in wearing it flowing freely down their backs when they are dressed for any spe ial occasion. A Filipino woman scarce y ever takes a hath that she does not in clude the washing of her long, black nane. A bath means the scrubbing of he entire body from head to foot. Then, again, take a trip into the coun try, and the view is made picturesque by bis one feature.

Th“re are several kinds of baths in Manila houses. One—which is the most simpl —is tfe typical bath cf the Orient. A great por elaln tub colored a dull blue, de p, ard cf oval shape is set in a room with floor cf ti'es or bricks slanting to wards the wooden doorway under which is a wide aperture. The doorway may open on a court yard on the fir3t or sec ond story.

This is probably a Spanish de vice. After washing the clothes are strung along a river bank, or a fence, to dry ard afterwards starched and ironed. There is no more pleasurable sight In the Philippines than that outside of a church on a feast day. Grouped about the steps, waiting for the doors to be opened, are native men, women and chil dren, all in clean clothes from the little fo'ks who toddle about dressed exactly like their elders, in diminutive long trous ers and thin shirt with the tail flying loose or. in the case of the girls, a tiny "eami sa” and skirt. AH the women are bare headed and nearly all the men, and the fresh white or bright colors of their clothes In the sunlight make a picture which once seen Is never forgotten. The poorest native always has something neat and clean to wear to church.
