To-day was tbe be ginning of the end in the now notorious, if not celebrated, case of Miss Gladys Evelyn against 'William Henry Hurlburt Pub lie Interest, however, showed a distinct falling off, because the evidenoe on both tides had been completed yesterday and the Attorney General had made his address on behalf ot the defendant Mr. Candy, too, had partially finished his address to the jury, so that only tbe end of it had to be heard, and the judge had to sum up before the case went to the jury. This summing up, howeTer attractive it may be to lawyers and those intimately con nected with the case, is not particularly ex hilarating, and therelore does not draw many people who get their amusement from the cross-examination of the-witnesses, their badgering by replies to the counsel and gen erally from the discomfort to which a mortal is always subject when he appears before a a Judge and jury. It is a sort of bear-baiting, in fact; hence its popularity. A Big Conspiracy Charged. The mysterious "Wilffrd Murray, who, the defendant says, used his name and fame, is still absent ana his whereabouts is unknown. The Attorney General, in sum ming up for the defendant, pleaded it was the clearest case of conspiracy. In proof of the statement that the case la its, advanced state is not attractive, it may be stated that the plaintiff yn trie only one of her sex in the court. Jlrj Hurlburt was, of course, on evidence, 4rad he was accompanied by Mr. Beckett, the member of Parliament, who was so ill two days ago that his evidence had to be taken by commission, as he could not appear in person. Mr. Candy, in continuing his address, as serted that the defendant deliberately in vented the story about his having been in troduced to the plaintiff by his secretary, "the mysterious Murray," who had acted the part of a ferret. The plaintiffhad never seen this man and in fact the only evidence of the existence of snch a person as Murray was to be found in the statement of the de fendant and a single document The Mysterious Murray, Surely, argued, the counsel, the defendant would have called someone who could have proved Murray's existence if he had been let do so. Justice Cave, when Mr. Candy sat down, then began his summing ud, which was of a very elaborate and painstaking description. For half an hour he talked dead against the defendant and said if Mr. Hurlburt wrote the letters, of which mention had been made in the case, his character was blasted forever. On the other hand, if this was a foul conspiracy against him, tbe plaintiff and those associated with her cer tainly deserved to be sentenced to penal servitude. The first question to which he wished to direct the attention of the jury was that re lating to the antecedents of the partiej to the case. Those of the woman the plaintiff would certainly bear investigation. As for Jackson, with whom at one time she lived, he was a gambler at Monte Carlo, and was without any reputable calling. A Question of Belief. The defendant was an American, and the Court knew very little of his past life and habits down to the time when he left Amer ica and came to reside in England. It was undoubtedly a fact thathe had been received in the best society, that he had written books and that he was a man of great cul ture and literary acquisitions. If then, it rested on the mere question of the oath of one side or the other, most peo ple would be inclined to give their verdict in favor of the defendant. The defense, however, said His Lordship was really a verv extraordinary case, and invited the careful scrutiny of the jury. In the first place there were those letters which were claimed to have been written by Murray, but which no friend or expert in handwriting had been put into the wit ness box to swear were not written by Mr. Hurlburt. The defendant's claim tbat the writing o Mr. Hurlburt and of this man Murray could not be distinguished, and the statement that two men wrote exactly the same hand was so strange as to be well nigh incredible. A Strange Coincidence. It also seemed perfectly incredible how one man could forge another man's writing in so large a number as ISO letters without ever betraying himselr in any way. There was another point to which he wished to direct the attention of the jury, and this was that these letters were curious in another fact, vis., that tne handwriting was identi cal; that both the defendant aud Murray's letters contained French quotations. It was also diffiru't to see what object "Murray hadinimluting the handwriting of Mr. Hurlburt Coming now to the identity of this Individual, he said that if there was uch a person at Murray, the material for iJ?roTiB, rhat k .exists mist bo very con-J DEAD AGAINS HM siderable, because it was stated he had traveled very extensively, not only on the American continent, but also in England and Ireland; yet, not a single witness had been called who was able to testify he had ever seen or heard of snch a person, still less of any one of the name of Murray who spoke French and was able to write, as it was alleged this man did. Tlio Romantic Omnibus Meeting. Touching the romantic incidents of the meeting in the omnibus it was to be re marked that the plaintiff had said that it was Good Friday on which she first met the defendant, whereas the defendant, on his part, declared he was really with his wife at the house of Mr. Seymour, in Wiltshire, on tn.it day. . A most important witness on this point would undoubtedly have been the defend ant's wife, yet she had not been called to corroborate this statement In fact, His Lordship received with the utmost astonish ment the statement that the wife was In Home, because the case had been pending for a considerable time, and therefore there was plenty of opportunity for. her to have been brought to England in order to give her testimony. Thefi why was Mr. Seymour, at whose house in "Wiltshire the defendant stated ha was staying on this Good Friday, also not summoned, or even a servant in tne household, or anybody else to corroborate the statement. At this point the court adjourned until Monday, when it is expected a verdict will be reached. No Sympathy for Gladys. It is not going io far too say that London is completely mystified by the case, while the pnblio at large is divided into two camps, one for and one against Mr. Hurl burt For Miss Gladys Evelyn there is, however, no sympathy at all, and as far as the case is concerned tne only question that arises in men's minds is that Mr. Hurlbnrt's astounding story is backed by so little independent evidence. A prosecntion for perjury is almost sure to follow whichever way the case goes, -t The general belief about the court is that tbe jury will disagree. A sensation was created when Lord Boths child was called for the purpose of proving that Mr. Hurlburt spent Jubilee Day, June 21, 18b7, at his house, the very day Miss Evelyn said the defendant spent the day with her. SOCIALISTS ARE BUSY PEEPABmo FOE AH EIGHT HOTJB DEM ONSTKATION OK KAY L Quarrels Between Lenders, However, May Make the Thine a Fall are British Workmen to Tnrn Oat by the Thousands On the Same Day. !BT CABLE TO TUX OISrATCH.1 London, April IS. The French Social ists are making great and noisy prepara tions for an eight-hour demonstration on May 1, but the general impression is that it will not be at all imposing, owing to the quarrels of the labor leaders and to the apathy of the majority of the workmen in regard to the legislatively limited working day. Monsieur Constance, Minister of the Interior, has caused it to be made known that he will suppress by all means at his command all attempts at street processions and open-air meetings. As he has repeatedly proved himself a man of his word, it is safe to predict that the d -stration in Paris, at any rate, will ' he) indoors. At Lyons and Marseilles there may be some trouble, and a disturbance more or less serious mav occur in Belgium and some parts of Austrfa, but in no country is the movement dangerons, for the simple reason that'nowhere is there unanimity among either theleaders or the j-ank. and file. The revolutionists in London are arranging a first of May demonstration with more noise and less excuse for it than their fervid brothers in Paris. They will not muster more than 200 or S00, however, and they will have to walk to Hvde Park by way of the back streets, escorted by the police, pre pared to clnb tbe first Anarchist who should dare to disobey orders. A very different scene will .be witnessed on the first Sunday in May, which has been by general consent set apart as the British Labor Day. Great demonstrations will be held in every large town, and in London quite 50,000 men and several thousand women will march in procession, with bands and banners, from the Thames embankment to Hyde Park. A novel leatnre this year will be the pres ence of a body of lanndresses, the latest class of workers who have adopted trade unionism, in order to better their positions in life. SAUEBTJEYS EEPIY Will Prevent Any Interference With the Chilean Government PIT CABLIO TUB niSPATCn. London, April 18. The hope cherished in some quarters here tbat the Government might be persuaded to interfere actively in the Chilean struggle has been finally abandoned. The last effort was made by tbe Liverpool Ship Owners' Association, which, seeking to take advantage of Lord Salisbury's absence from England, brought pressure to bear upon the prominent officials at the Foreign Office to take steps to induce the Chilean Government to withdraw the proclamation refusing clearance to British vessels. Sir Philip Currie and Sir Thomas Sanderson were afraid, however, to assume inch grave responsibility and the matter was referred to Lord Salisbury early this morning. The Liverpool shipowners have Just re ceived this reply, simultaneously with his arrival from the Biviera: "Lord" Salisbury is not aware of any rule of international law which would prevent the Chilean Gov ernment under existing circumstances from refusing clearance to any port lying in Chilean territory, so long as the refusil ap plies to all foreign vessels alike. It is en tirely within the competence of the Chilean Government to decide whether such a step is, in their interest, necessary or not, and the inconvenience which unhappily it must crnse to neutrals does not in itself furnish Her Majesty's Government with any ground for resistance or remonstrance." AKOTHEB BRITISH VICTOBY. It Was a Stubbornly Contested Battle With the Miranzais. Simla, April 18. The British forces have engaged and defeated a large body of Miranzais. The victory was not obtained until after a stubbornly contested engage ment had been fought, and until, in the heat of the fight, the British forces made a dash ing advance and completely routed the Miranzais. Several English soldier and officers were severely wounded. cj A general advance of British troops will be made to-day, the object being to break the enemy's lines and clear the Samana range of bills, which the Miranzais occupy in force. The enemy's loss in the engage ment which has jnst taken place is unknown, but it is believed to have been heavy. SQTJATTEB8 EJECTED. A Curious State of Affairs Bight In the Heart of ZiOndon. TBT DUKXAT'g CjLBLS OQJfPJJrr.l London, April 18. A curious case has just been exercising one of the minor courts. Some squatters, not overawed by the prox imity of the official palace of tbe Bishop of London, toot: possession of some vacant houses in Fulbam. Although many strenuous efforts were made to get them out, thev held tbe fort against all comers. Finally, to add intuit to Injury, they de. termined to eject the beds of the caretakers of thete houses and accordingly threw them out ot the wlnd6w. The necessary articles of furniture were aired in a manner quite out of the ordinary, and the mode of deal ing with them excited many ribald remarks among the people in the neighborhood. At length the law stepped in, and one of these offenders was duly hauled before a justice, who, however, did not take the same view ot the case as the prisoner did, for he proceeded to fine the individual in question in the sum of- 2 10 shillings, or in default to be subjected to imprisonment for 11 days. The papers bavs been commenting on the situation and have in one way or another managed to bring in some reference to the fact that squatters were supposed o exist only in the backwoods of America. They certainly seem out of place in the heart of London, under the very nose of the Bishop. AN ARTIST'S SUICIDE. DEPBE8SED BY THE BEJECTIOK 0? HIS LATEST S ICTUBB. neeley Hnlwell, a Noted English Artist Ends His Life in Farls A Lesson He Might Have Received From One of Thoso in Like Case. rur DuuLAr's cable comfast.i " London, April 18.-jArtistie social cir cles are very much exercised by the report which has just been started that the death of Mr. Keeley Halwell, the well-known English painter, which was reported from Paris a week ago, was the result of a sui cide. The reason alleged for the perpetra tion of this desperate act is one which seems strange to those who are in the habit of descanting on the vicissitudes and the pre cariousness of those who follow an artistio career. The reason is that the picture Mr. Halwell painted for the forthcoming exhibition at the Boyal Academy, which opens on the first Monday in May, had been rejected by the hanging committee of that institution. This produced a great deal of despondency in the painter's mind, and in the depression it is believed be took his own life. Had be thought, however, he might have recalled V mind a caSe which happened Borne years ago, but which is always cited as typicalin showing the possibility of error in the judg ment of artists whose duty it is to decide what pictnres shall and shall not be placed on the walls of Burlington House. The story goes that a Boyal Academician, who, by reason of his position, is entitled to have eight works on the line, thought to test tho accuracy of the opinion of his brethren in art by sending a picture to which he had devoted a great deal of time, and which he believed will be regarded as in his best style, without signing his own fcame to it. It was promptly rejected. Then the Boyal Academician who had painted the picture arose in his might and sarcastically remarked: "So you rejected that picture. "Why?" The spokesman of the committee replied he thought it was pretty bad andquite unworthy a place among the pictures of the vear. "Oh." re plied the victim of the rejected picture, "is that so? Why, I painted it." "That alters tho esse considerably," said the spokesman. "Of course, as it is yours, we must hang l You are entitled by your po sitio to have it exhibited, for you have not the complement of works." "Not a bit of It," said the painter. "You did not think my work was good enongh to be shown, and it certainly shall not be, although I am en titled to have it exhibited. You rejected it, and rejected it remain, but this picture shall go to another exhibition." It went, and was accepted by authorities there, cor dially praised by the critics and regarded by the public as a brilliant example of the work of this master. Perhaps poor Keeley Halwell's rejected picture may suffer the same fate, and another regret be added to the loss of sO prominent and promising an artist BEAD CARDINALS' EFFECTS. The Pope Issues an Order Forbidding Here after All Trnffio in Them. rET DCMLAT'B CABLE COMPA1TT.1 London, April 18. Those people who have been io the habit of collecting relics of the Cardinals of the Church of Borne will certainly not be best pleased at the decision which His Holiness, the Pope, has just ar rived at the abolishing of the sales of the property of Cardinals who have died. The custom of so disposing of the belongings of these aristocrats of the Church of Borne was universal, and bric-a-brac collectors were thus enabled to obtain for a small sum many articles of rare workmanship and design, which, in tbe ordinary way, would cost a small fortune. The greater portion of these articles of vertu took the form of old lace, which used to adorn the fall dress of these princes of the church. To this lace must be added the insignia proper to their office, viz, the pectoral cross, the ring with the sapphire set in it.the miter of white silk, the cassock and the cardinal's bat Another article in which mention must not be omitted is the glove, which has a jewel set in its back about the middle of the hand. A BOOH 15 FBUIT. .New Zealand Coming to the Front as a Big Sonrce of Supply. TBT DUYLAF'S CABLE COMPANY. London, April 18. For a long time past, in spite of the vaunted excellence of the native apples and the supremacy of the alleged Jtibston pippins, which, however, practically have gone the way of all flesh, American fruit of this description has been eagerly bought, and in increasing quanti ties every year. For some reason or other they come into the country in small quantity, and the crop this year has been miserable, native specimens selling only at about 2 pence a pound. Now, however, the anti podes are coming to the relief of the mother country, and it is hoped and expected that a large fruit trade Aill be built up between them. New Zealand has just sent a shipload of apples, which have been sold at very big prices, and a further consignment from Tas mania were offered in Covent Garden Market yesterday, and fetched from 16 to 26 shillings a bushel. In spite of tbe long voy age, the packing had been so admirably done tbat the fruit was in excellent condi tion. DECOBAIH IK HIDIKGL The Tories Farions Over the Disgrace Brought on the Party.

A warrant has been issued against him and his conduct is uni versally taken to indicate a consciousness of guilt The police are at present watching the movements of a number of persons in Belfast, some occupying good positions, and at any moment warrants may be issued for their arrest on charges similar, and, in some cases, worse than those preferred against Decobain. The Tories are furious at the disgrace brought upon the party, and at the fugi tive's refusal to resign his seat before the charges aeainst him were made known." If it be possible to 'expel him from the House of Commons bv a formal resolution the Tories will gladly help. A Salvation Army Refuse Closed. IBT PUKLAP'S CABLE COHFANT.I PAKls.April 18.

TORIES ANXIOUS A3 TO THE OUTCOME tBT CABLE TO THE PISPATCH.l London, April 18. Copyrighted. To day was celebrated as the anniversary of Lord Beaconsfield's death, although Sunday is the correct day. Tories, young and old, wore primroses in memory of the deceased statesman and many of his more fervent ad mirers laid wreaths at the foot of his statue at "Westminster, some inscribed with ap propriate mottoes, "Peace with honor," be ing the favorite. The primrose dames were bedecked abundantly to-day, for this is their one day of the whole year. The Tories appear to derive much satisfaction from their observ ance and it does no barm to any one else, but the Government is very much concerned at the opportunity afforded of testing the feeling of the country in five constituencies, as four of these vacancies have been caused by the deaths of Tory members. ' The Tories Are Anxious. The Pall Mall GazMt sarcastically sug gests that the Conservative candidates should be young and of sound constitution, and that the Carlton Club should appoint a doc tor to secure that those desirable conditions are carried out All the vacant seats are Tory, but despite this and other dis advantages the Liberals are confident of winning South Dorset Northwest Suffolk, "Whitehaven and tbe Harborough'division of Leicestershire, or of very largely re ducing the Tory majorities in those four constituencies and In Mid Oxfordshire. The importance of this "general eleotlon In miniature" can scarcely be overrated. The impression generally prevails that should the Tories succeed in keeping all their seats now vacant, the Government will consider the result encouraging enough to justify them in dissolving Parliament and appealing to the country. Parnell a Small Quantity. If the Liberals could be certain that the Government weuld follow such a course they would cheerfully welcome immediate failure for the sake of the triumph which the general election would enable them to gain. Within the last month or two there lias been a remarkable revival of enthusi asm in the Liberal party. Parnell is trzated as a neglectable quantity, his elec toral defeats and his Parliamentary action, in speaking for and voting with the Govern ment having convinced most English men that he can have little influence for good or for evil either in Ireland or in Eng land. The manifesto published to-day strength ens this belief, for everybody knows that his orders to his adherents not to attend the convention of the Irish National League of Great Britain were Issued with a view to conceal his own impotence. It is not the least remarkable feature of Parnell's down fall that, among Irishmen in England, Wales and Scottland, in which the League is entirely composed, he cannot find support enough to send a dozen qualified delegates to the convention in his interest ExTOLISH IMMIGRANTS TO AMEBI0A. Many Snspectedof Comlns Here In Viola . tion of the United States lair. TBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.! London, April 18. Adult immigration to the United States has so far been larger this year than last Eight thousand men and women have left Liverpool this week for New York and Boston, and a ma jority of them seemed to be in comfortable circumstances. According to reports current at Liverpool, however, the snperior quality of these emigrants is accounted for by the faot that many of them are mechanics who have been engaged to settle in America in connection with the establishment of British mills and factories, brought about by the operations of the McICiuley tariff. The engagements are said to be at vari ance with the United States contract labor law; but this can best be decided on the arrival of the Umbria at New York, and the Cephalonia at Boston, for, these two steamers carry most of the suspects. Emi gration agents report that Boston is grow ing in favor as a port of debarkation, owing to the ease with wbioh people can get from the wharf to the railroad instead of being landed, as in New York, a considerable dis tance from the temini.

Yerney, the Liberal member of Parliament against whom a warrant was issued on the charge of having procured a girl for im moral purposes, was arrested to-day. At the time the charge was made Captain Verney was traveling on the Continent. When he reached Italy he heard that the English Court had issued a warrant for his arrest and he telegraphed stating that he would return to England as quickly as possible to meet the accusation against him. He immediately started on his return, and, when he reached London, was taken into custody. Captain Yerney was taken to the Bow Street Police Court. Miss Nellie Beckett, the complainant, told her story, after which Captain Wsrn'ey's bail was fixed at $5,000, and the further bond of $2,500 to be fur nished by himself. The bail was furnished and the Captain left tbe court in company with his counsel and a number of friends. THE AMEBI0AH TIN PLATE TEADS.

FAIB 0BAT0BS DEMAND A KOBE H0 MANE DIV0ECE LAW. The 'CUtheroe Decision Is Still Slaking Things lively In England Rich Ladles Actively at Work In Behalf of Their Poorer Sisters. Bt CABLE TO THE EIS PATCH. J London, April 18. The decision la the CUtheroe abduction case is proving any thing but a boon to women, but there is prospect that, in the near future, it will be of immense benefit to them, The special act of Parliament, passed in 1878, gave the magistrates the power of deoreeing separa tion with alimony in cases where husbands had been convicted of repeated or aggra vated assault on wives. The aot has liber erated hundreds of women from cruel bond age, and indirectly it has benefited manv others by restraining would-be wife beaters. The matter was debated in the Honse of Lords Thursday evening, but the learned law lords would not admit that there was much amiss. The Lord High Chancellor sapiently remarked that the aggrieved party enjoyed the proud privilege, com mon to subjects of this empire, male or female, of applying at his or her own cost to tho High Court of Justice for a mandamus to compel the magistrates to net, but tbe knowledge of this abstract right would be a sorry consolation to a penniless woman. The only Immediate hope that this grievance will be remedied lies in the fact that it may inconvenience men in at least one reported case. Sauce for the goose has proved to be sauce for the gander. The husband had had a misunderstanding with his wife, whioh ended In his being kicked out of the house. He was refused readmission and applied for advice to the nearest magistrate, who promptly threw the CUtheroe case at his un fortunate head. The probable result from the CUtheroe case is the passing of an act making cruel or capricious desertion a rea son for divorce, as it now is in Scotland. The gentlewomen of England are taking action in behalf of their poorer sisters. A meeting convened by the Women's Fran chise Leaeue was held the other evening, at which existing injustice was denounced with masculine vigor and feminine volubility by a number of fair orators. Prominent among the women was Countess Schack, who aroused immense enthusiasm by declaring that the present law of divorce in England was opposed to human nature, und by demanding tbat tne English law should be assimilated to that of Germany an some States of America, where, "when husband and wife could not agree, they quietly separated, without wash ing their dirty linen in public." Mrs. Jackson has been telling a long story, which is just published in the papers, as to how it happened that she refused to live with her husband, charged with ab ducting her. She declares that at the wed ding breakfast he began to reprove her be fore the guests for dropping her H's, and afterward he coolly asked her where she was going to stop that night. This was too much for her, and so she decided to go home and stay there. AT HBEBTY TO MABBY.

Parnell is now al liberty to marry Mrs. O'Shea.the legal period of delay after the decree of divorce hav ing expired yesterday. The Daily JVeuis has reason to believe that the marriage will occur soon, and that the date has already been fixed. As to Mrs. O'Shea's property, tbe facts are these: There were two wills made by her aunt, Mrs. Wood, one leaving her 140,000 and a later document fixing the bequest at 170,000. The marriage deed, however, requires that all property accruing after the union shall be added to tbe marriage settlement, but neither will makes mention of the set tlement, although the codicil to tbe second, which Sir Horace Davey holds to be legally inoperative, expressly debars any suoh provision. Should the ultimate decision on this point be against Mrs. O'Shea, she will only be entitled to a life interest, the other half going to her late husband. Captain O'Shea, therefore, stands to win a lifo interest in either 70,000 or 80,000. A GENEB0U8 MESSAGE.

K1CH GIFT8 FROM GOOD QUEEN ANHB ISrXCXU. TILKOHXJI TO TITS DISPATCH.! New York, April 18. The announce ment at the close of Lent that Miss Gabriella Greeley is to end her days of retirement and devotion by marriage greatly surprised her friends in this city. Miss Greeley's life at the old farm at Cbappaqua has been a con stant ministration of charity. The farm house, long the home of her illustrious father, Horace Greeley,has been her habita tion for ten years, and the poor and destituts the country round have known wlthoutceaa mg the goodness of her heart and gentleness other spirit Her charms of person and mind have subjected her to constant demands from so cietv. But these demands she has stead fastly resisted, preferring the simple pleas ures and duties of a country life. The church of St John's parish, at Pleasant ville, two miles from the Greeley farm honse, is her especial charge, and so tireless has been her attentions to the needs of the parish that she is known throughout the church as the "Lady Abbess of Pleasant ville." The news of tbe marriage has not checked the demands upon her charity and thejmany obligations that remain to bo per formed. ZIor Work Will 'ot End. Fortunately for the poor the change which is to take place in her life next Thursday morning will greatly enlarge her opportuni ties of work. The groom, the Key. Frank Montrose Clendenln, is a clergyman of un usual attainments. He is the rector of St. Peter's parish at "West Chester. N. Y., the oldest oburch in America. In this pulpit the young orator has made a reputation which has extended even beyond the seas. A book of his sermons, unnsual in the casa of a preacher so young, has reached a second edition. He is the son of George Clendenin. His previous service has been in Anglican churches in Illinois and Ohio. There is a romantic side to this engage ment The young orator has passed more than a.doren years of activity in a half settled conviction that clergymen should not marry. Years ago he heard of tha Lady Abbess and her work. This awaken ed an interest in the woman and stronger sentiments soon found lodgment in his heart "It was not long after I met her," he said, "that my mind became settled on the question of marriage, and thereafter I devoted myself to the business of persuad ing her to my way ot thinking." It Will Be rovo in a Barn. Tbe two are devoted to the work of tha church and the arrangement is that a part of each of the coming years is to be spent at Pleasantville. For their use while here the stone barn at Chappaqua finished by Horace Greeley, just before his death, is to be fitted up as a dwelling honse. The simple rustio furniture that served the family in the Greeley farm houso is to ba arranged in the stone bam, and to this retreat the "West Chester priest and his wife are to come for the snmmer months. The sick and the dis tressed of Chappaqua will thus still have tbe kind, patient heart of their patron saint to which to cflrry their woes. The anciint parish ot St Peter's is to ba the scene of their active labors. The old rectory in which several generations of priests have lived and dled-is to be the homa ot the young couple. Preparatory to this use, the vestry of the church has ordered a thorough overhauling of tha house, making it suitable to the wants of modern families. The rectory is a century old and abounds with relics of former years. The style with its seven severe gables, cheerless pointed arches, frowning windows and uninviting portico does not belong to this age. A large grove pf stately trees hides the rectory from view. This is tho 20 acres gleba granted by the County of "Westchester to the church 200 years ago. The History of the Church. The great interest in the parish is In the church itself. Services have been held there regularly since November 9, 1702. The first Anglican priest sent by the Crown to tha colonies, and assigned to this parish by Governor Cornbury, began his pastorate on that day. This was the" Iter. John Bartow. The first Anglican Bishop of America, Samuel Seabury, was a rector here for tea years. The original building, raised by a donation of 40 from the freeholders of Westchester, in 1700, is still standing in perfect preservation, being used by a parish ioner as a stable for his horses and' cows. It served the colonists as a parish home for 90 years. Down the road past the old churchyard and its hundreds of forgotten graves is tha rectory. Across the road from the church is tbe parish house, also a relic of bygone days. There are the old headstones of an other century, tbe quaint stone fence sur rounding the churchyard, the storm-beaten church itself, the old sexton, Isaac Butler, who reckons time by the graves of rectors he has made, and but a moment's walk: away the ancient church of the Quakers which has stood the storms of nearly 200 winters. An altar set and a communion service, tha gift of eood Qneen Anne, are prized treas ures of tbe church. The latter is of rare silver and quaint workmanship. Upon tha chalice and paten are engraved the words "Anne Eeeinae," with the data 1706. To preserve these against loss for future genera tions, duplicates have been macTe by Tiffany and these are now nsed except on occasion of state. Handsome bronze memorials, stained glass windows and frescoes mark tha interior of the church and remind the wor shipers of some one distinguished in ante Bevolutionary days. Tbe churchbas enormous wealth In landed possessions down town. It is said of the congregation that each Sunday $50,000,000 marches up the aisle and out again. Collia P. Huntington, G. Bruce Brown, John C. Furman, Henry A. Costar and other well known New York financiers are vestrymen in tho church. The Wedding Ceremony, The marriage takes place on tha morninsf of St George'alDay, Thursday, April 23, at St John's Church, Pleasantville, at 9 o'clock. The Bev.Benjamin T. Hall, priest of the parishwill administer the Holy Com munion to the bridal couple according to the forms of tbe Anglican Church. "Within the hour the marriage office will be read by Eector Hall, In these ceremonies the sun pliced choirs of St John's and St Peter's, accompanied by organ and harps, will assist. As maid of honor, Miss Chamber Iaine is to attend the bride, and there will be no bridesmaid. Tbe trossean is rich but simple. The altar and chancel are to ba banked with fliwers from Miss Greeley's own hot beds. The Bev. Alexander McMillan, as sistant rector of Bt Peter's, will serve tba groom as best man. Tbe gentlemen will wear the black cloth garb peculiar to tha clergy. No invitations to the church are out Only tho bridal party and the many charges of the Lady Abbess are to ba ad mitted to the ceremony. After the wedding the bridal party will return to the city by special train, and in tha afternoon from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock a reception in their honor is to held at the homo of Miss Maria Giraril Messenger, in this city, to whieh 1,000 invitations have been sent out Then will follow a tour of a few.weeks' duration, during which plans for the summer months may develop, but the rector trill donbtles remain at his Madison avenue horns 10 as to be near the workmen at tha rectory of the. stone bam. kS"? .
