The family resided in New Harmony only until the subject of this sketch was 2 rears old, but lived In $f the neighborhood until he liecame of age. lie was a printer in ins yeuiii, aim spem even years at the case. When 21 years old Mr. Pentecost came east, entered Madisen university, Ham ilton, N. V and studied for the ltaptlst ministry. His first chargu was at Rock Reck Rock rille Centre, I I., In a church partly self supporting and partly under the earn of a mission beard. There he was mar ried. Whlle nt this place he get Inte trouble with his denomination lsccnuse he did net belicve In close comtntinleti, . and was obliged te give up hit charge. He says: "I was considerably exercised about it Then I started an independent church in Brooklyn, called 'The Chuich of the People,' but gave it tip after two or thrce years." He next becatne pastor of a lllernl Baptist church at Westerly, It. 1., uhete he was received with the distinct under standing that he held liberal denomina tional views. During this pastorate, which lasted several years, his wife died. Up te this time Mr. Pentecost's charges had been in small places. He new became pastor of a large Baptist church at Hartferd, Conn., being here also received with the understanding that he was "heterodox en the commu nion question." Ills pasterate at Hart Hart eord was very successful, between two hundred and fifty and three hundred persons uniting with the church through hit Influence, Whlle In Hartferd he married again. When Mr. Pentecost left Hartferd It was te take charge of the Marcy A venue Hnptist church, Brooklyn, N. Y.. whero he re mained three years. When he left this church he left the de nomination lllsO. He then became pastor of the In- I .dependent Cen- fl'g r e gu t te ii a I ' church, New Yerk city. Iir- i lug the t Ii rue c n. a r-KNTECesT. Jears of ,ia ,us. torate here he did n geed deal of visiting among the peer. Te this work he ut- ' tributes his knowledge of tenement house life en the west side, for he spent much time in such places, whero many of his ' Sunday school children lived. Said he ' 'IhatNsWas a profound experience, lie- . ""cause up te this time I had been pastor of the average, well-to-de Ameiicau ' church." And again: "It tluew me for the first time in contact with the lives j of the peer, nnd set me te thinking in economic lines. All through the Broek- lyn cxperlcnce I had liecn grew ing mere and mera liberal, and while stationed nt i the Independent church I read Henry j Qeergc'B books." In April, 1880, Mr. Pentecost went te the Belleville Aeuue Congregational church, of Newurk, N. J., toMiceeesl l)r Geerge II. Hepworth, new en the edi torial stall of The New Yeik Herald. His preaching there was successful in point of the numlers who weie attracted te hear him. His brilliant manner of , speaking and his engaging social quali ties wen him friends en all sides. While he was nt this church the movement. headed by Henry Geerge, came morn prominently befeie the public, and l)r McGlynn's coming out of the Catholic church occurred. Of the end of hU pasterate here Mr. Pentecost t.iys: "l)r McGlynn's attitude led me te pcak about him. 1 had then become se thor oughly interested that I brought the sul ject into the pulpit, nnd it cieated much opposition. The culminating elut wns when the Chicago AnarchUts were hanged. 1 made a vigorous pretest This was a pretest, in the first place, against capital punishment in general In the second place, it was net a defenne of these men, but a statement that the discontent the social ferment which they represented, could net If cpielled by hanging them, but by removing the causes which led te the discontent. Thu brought the opposition in the church te a climax, and I prei-enled my resigna tion." Tills event marks the second great change tn Mr. Pentecost's beliefs, for when he left his Newark chargu he left orthodoxy. He at once establi ed three congregations, ene in Newark, one in Brooklyn and one in New Yerk, w hicb he addretsed each Sunday. The Newark congregation meets in a building nxt deer te his old charge The exercijes. which are the same In the three placed, begin with instru mental music by an orchestra or a pian ist.

Tlie Catholics, of the Ufiltlmore ello elle ello ccse especially, and of the United State generally, are making extensive prepa rations for the November centennial el their church tu the great republic. It Is expected that nt least sixty bishops will attend the centennial, nnd en the even ing of Nev. 11 thcre will be n reception nt Concordia hall, Baltimore, an illumi nation and torchlight precession. The Itcv. J. S. McCallin, of Montreal, hai Isccn specially Invited te take charge of thoccrcmeuies, and Cardinal Taschereau, of Canada, nnd sotne dignitaries from Heme will lxi among the invited guests. Of ceurse it is net designed te com memorate tlie beginnings of the Callie lie church In America, seeing that thai was coeval with the landing of Iho fits! nxplercrs: but tbe date selected is that of the formal establishment of the dirt dirt ccse of llaltimere, the first in the United States. Aside from the emotion every true Catholic must feci in such a centen nial there i i much in the growth of Ihe church in the new world te intcretl tf'viS every student el history nnd so ciety. Ignoring for the present the French el Louisiana and the Spaniards of Tex ns mid Flerida, whose churches were brought tin- der the control el the American ec clesiastics ns the United States ob tnincd control el ciiAr.t.ra cvuneLt, theso regions, tlie Catholic church in this republic may hoeMciaUy considered as stalling from the diocese of Maryland ns founded in 17S0. Ocorge Calvcit, Lord Baltimore, died before he could carry out his designs in Terra Marue (Mary'a Land), and his sons Cecil nnd Leenard established the colony, Leenard being the first governor. Complete toleration for all Christians was established, and it is a sad liuth that religious exiles from the Puritan colenics in the north nnd fiem Virginia iu the south found rcfuge iu Maryland, mid that a short time after the party in Kwer forhade the public exercise of Catholic worship. In 1770 Pennsylvania was the only colony granting cemplete toleration, nnd in that province and Maryland wcre nearly nil the Catholics in the country. The Itevoltitien, however, broke many a IkukI. In 1771 Maryland passed a tol eration act, and the patriotism of tlie Catholics during Iho war toen secuicd them uu equal standing. Chatlcs Car Car eoll, of Maryland, was the only man in the new Union worth n million dollars his estate was thought worth $.0(M),uOO nnd when lie bigucd thu Ucctuiulieu of Independence a member jecul.iily to te marked, "Tliere go sonie millions, but tliere nre se many Carrells the 111 iti-.li may net find the light one." "Ah! de you think se?" said Cariell, and immedi ately added the words "of Cimollten." He was a devout Catholic, nnd survived all the ether signers, d) ing in 183J ut the age of Oi. His cousin, Jehn Cariell, became iu 17SD the first Catholic bishop iu the United States, ami in 1911, just befeiu his death, was made the ill t archbishop. He was a man of htieng poisenalily, and commanded the respect of friend and feo alike. He had known what it was te gtilTcr for his faith, hut had feiced his .way te a high place iu thu esteem of his countrymen. Notwithstanding the prejudice eiiteitaincd against Ins eliuicli lie was made an attache of the commis sion te Canada, and was in many ether vv ii)'8 the i ecipicnt of mai ka of honei On Washington's death he was selected by congress te deliver the eulogy.

X TIIE OLDrT C11UKCII IN Nf.W r.NOIAND. In 1701 Bishop Carrell visiteet Bosten, of which visit he wrote: "It Is wonder ful te tell what great civilities have been done te me in Bosten, where a few .tears age n 'popish' priest was thought te be the greatest monster in creation. Many here even of the principal peeple have acknowledged te me that they would have crossed te thu opivesitc side of the street rather than meet a Reman Catho lic. The horror which was associated with the Idea of a 'papist' Is Incredible." But the dislike still lingered. Statu tory prohibitions had Indeed been re pealed, but the priests met quite as un pleasant obstacles iu the shape of the un- friendly curiosity of the people. The Puritan of New England had never seen n Catholic priest, and their only knowl edge of him was derived from the un pleasant annals of their English fore fathers. Many stories nre told by priests traveling through the New England states concerning the wonder with which they wcre regarded by the rustics. Many would walk for miles te leek at "the Paddy priest" or the "old priest," as they wcre called, and sometimes the lustic afler a long stare would turn away in disgust, saying: "Well, Iic'h no gieat show." The')' vv ere surprised te find that a Catholic priest looked and acted pietty much like any ether well conducted gentleman. It is believed that Rev. Gabriel Dritil letlcs, Jesuit missionary among the Shi naki Indians, celebrated mass in Bosten iu December, 1030. At any late he was thcre nnd for soma time the guest of Eliet, who translated tlie Bible into an Indian language. A law was passed nheul lhattiuieexpclling. ill Jesuits fiem New England, but iu 1C37 (here were right Cathelic: laymen in Bosten, French nnd Irish. When Washington licgan tlie siege of Bosten there weie several Cathe lics there, and ns there is no men tion of nny opjto epjto opjte sitloii te Iho pub lie I'xerrise of their religion it is evident the old laws had Ihvoiiie obsolete.

Hut tot us consider what nn immense ndvuutage this is. Firt, then, the aim of every whist player is te get lib long suit established, or that of his iiartiier, for it must net be forgotten that the IkM whist Isnlwnys plavedasif the two haiuh (yours and v our tui tuer't.) weie one. Te ev tubllsli n ult is te held Ihe command of it Sometimes ) our saut is already estalilisheil for ) ou for instance, vvtieiv you originally held the a, k nutl i New, if It were net for the trump aud its jieculijr advantage ever the ether suits, whUt playing would be as easy, te ui a homely expression, as rolling oil" a leg. But nil established tult may le of lie value whatever if a trump la played against itjui the hands of an opponent. Fer instance, eti hnve a s-ult of seven originally, mid lifter ttiethft two round veu Lav e established it )ou have live cards of the suit, tlie rest of which have lie-en pleyed. New it is obvious tliat If the trumps weie nil out, these live cuds (siipKislug that you have the lead) are geed for five tricks. Hut let us carry the illustration a httle fuither SupKse that trumps have gene around tints? times, and that ene of )our epjmiieuU holds the thiittvnth. tSiipiMssetliat he has the coin cein lu.inil of n long plain uit m.v the n, k, t und two or three miull ones.

If you have live or mere (ami in tome e-ases only feui i It Is Utter te play them and thus exhaust the trumps iu the hands or )our oppeneuta.

That, et ceut, can only be dens when a rait is led of which you have no cards. But thi It where the higher skill et the whist player Is shown. Fer Instance, A has Are trumps and jroed plJa suit, besides, and his play is te Ret the trumps out. Hut tliere is a possibility that his part ner, B, can make hU trump. K A lead tha trumps out he of course exhaeita ttaem from B's hand as well as from his opponent', but tf be can first succeed In playing a suit which B hasn't get, B can thus be enabled te make Ceed his few trumps, or one of them, and cave a trick or two. Then A can proceed and lead his trumps. Tills is, however, very deli cate work, and Is only mentioned here te il lustrate some et the possibilities of the game.

The styles of sleeves for this fall will vary much, according te the taste or convenience of tlie wearer, and there will lw many modifications, but I give here theso that will lend, nnd also from the bases of the changes that individual tacte may cheese te make. The silk hi light, figured fancies will be of the puff ed variety, with perhaps a velvet cuff, or the forearm portion may be of plain silk of a contrasting color. The long slecve is te be lined with silk and have a silken undcrslceve simply gathered into a band. These sleeves are frequently made se long as te reach the bottom of the dress. Many of them are composed of ene breadth of silk or vel vet, nnd shirred close te the arm about thrce Inches at the top, and then left te fall open quite te the feet, tliere being; undcrslecves of thinner material. They nre mere striking than handsome. The leg e' mutton slecve Is a great faverite for all fall dresses which are for out deer or home wear. They ceme te the wrist and many of them 111 be snugly that they have te be fastened with hooks and ev es. Lace or linen cufTs aie neces sary with them. The Mewing slecve is i.'ern en a geed many afternoon home and icceptieu dresses. Thcre nie also many elbow sleeves for dinner and re ception nnd bhei t sleeves for evening. Tliere are no dicsscj le be made this sea son entirely sleeveless. Theio will be nlway a soine blight protense Of a slecve at least. The new diess gtveds new being opened by the gieat impeiting houses are tidier in texture and finish, I think, than I hav u ev er seen before. Seme of the wool nnd silk nnd wool brocades nre almost as stilT as curtains, vvliile the patterns are large and rambling, like a mass of nil sei is of vines ami flowers glowing ever a trellis. Their was ene silk and wool biec.'idu th.it 1 noticed particularly, which rrpicrvcnted a grape viue with leaves, fruit mid tendrils 'all woven close ly together, putt of the leaves spotted with caily fruit and turning brown, ethers nil shriveled up and ready te fall. The whole tene was a pale, dull gTeen, shading off te russet brown, with only bete and Micro :t vague sight of the grapes nily hidden among tlie leaves. It would make n very urtistic wall paper, though ou a large scale, as (he leaves and all nre natural size, but I think it is rather overdone for dress gevxls. Slilf. when It comes te be made up and timed down with combination or trimmings, I suppose iiies.t of tlie women will call it heavenly. I am glad I am net ene of them. Among the woolens thereris-an unu sually large line of plaids in soft twill. These woolens are thick, but very soft and light, The plaids are six and eight inches square, but are made up of grad uated lines in the most artistic designs and with (i careful blending of colors, se that Iho whole icsult is very pleasing. 1 A MAGNIFICENT COltBIXATIOK.
