a eu THE fiCRANTON TRIBUNEMONDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 3, 1894. REBUKED JHE SOPRANO And the Young Minister Culled. His Flock Scandal Mongers. TOPIC OP THE TEA PAKTIES The .Members of the Congregation Tulked too Freely of the Sudden Conversion of Pretty Miss Scalo-Auburn Uulred Pustor.llagemun Koslgns. By the United Press. New York, Dec. 2. According- to ac counts, church affairs are breezy down ut Ozone park, L. I. In fact, there was a full blown ecclesiastical cyclone there. The storm center of It was the Rev. A. Randolph Hageman, rector of the Protestant Episcopal church of the Kplphany, who, according to yester day's bulletins, was movlriK at the rate of forty miles an hour toward Philadel phia. The Rev. A. Randolph Hageman came to serve the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Epiphany lust July. He hud Just been graduated from the Gen eral Theological seminary. A year or so before that, when a student, he had for a short time been lay leader for the little church. He made many pleasant acquaintances then, and when he came as rector was received most cordially He Is handsome, accomplished and In- ...II t 1TI- L.,.1.. I.. n.ml. r. 11 li.tn had. The young women call It auburn. He was Just a little quickly tempered, some persons say, and he is certainly a very determined young man. The young minister, It Is said, wns neither married nor engaged. In Ozone Park, famed all over Long Island for Its lovely young girls, there were naturally mothers with marriageable daughters. So there were afternoon teas at which the young and reverend Mr. Hageman was the guest of honor, receptions vhere he was the Hon, and parties where fair maidens told him that they were '"so pleased to meet him." He was Invited to dinners. He was in vited to call. ..Miss Sealc Joins the Church. Henry Van Wicklen, a prominent citi zen, .welcomed the young rector to Ozone Park by giving a reception In his cosy horn on Helmont avenue, to which, besides numerous other guests, all the pastors of the other churches were In vited. .MIbb Florence Searle was there, too. She was glad that the Church of the Kplphany had a resident rector instead of an occasional lay reader. Come to think of it, she used to belong to St. Peter's Protestant Episcopal church In Brooklyn. When her parents moved to Ozone Park, she explained, she, yielded 1o their request and joined the Method ist church, Just across the way, of which the Rev. R. F. Norton was the pastor. She sang In the choir there. IMd Mr. Hugeman propose to have a choir now? She decided then and there to Join the Church of the Epiphany. Over the teacups some of the members of the Episcopal Churchof theEplphahy said that Miss Seale seemed in a great deal of a hurry to join the church and decided that they would not receive her with sisterly warmth. They felt much aggrieved, too, when this Miss Seale took great Interest In Sunday suhool work: so much so that ehe was chosen to gather up the pennies contributed by Ozone Park boys and girls for the support of the missionaries. As treasurer of the Sunday school she had to consult with the Rev. Mr. Hugfc- iimn quite frequently. This was observed by the ladles of the sewing circle and the missionary so olety. They looked Into their, teacups, replenished with the second and often the third "drawing" and shook their heads. Some of them had daughters and some had not. They all agreed that when they were young such a thing as a feminine Sunday school treasurer never was. And the Rev. Mr. Hageman found that Miss Seale had an excellent voice. She told him so, the tea drinkers said. He Insisted thoit she should sing In the choir. She sang' soprano solos. That was entirely too conspicuous, -thoulk the ladles of the sewing circle and the JJand of Hope, so some of them con cluded that something ought to be done to repress that young woman. They Rebuke the Soprano. A few of them stopped speaking to li.-r and some of them treated her cold ly. One afternoon as the young Hyson g:ive forth its fragrance, somebody re marked that a rector should marry a young woman who hud always been an Episcopalian. Miss Seale noticed that some of her Episcopal sisters were not speaking to lu-r.- She thought, too, that some of tri.-m were talking about her entirely too much. She went to the Rev. Mr. Hageman and told him about it. The young rector was Indignant. Persons of his temperament sometimes pet that way quickly, say what they feel and think afterward. . , , It Is said that the Rev, Mr. Hage man was a little that way. The next day was Sunday. This was six weeks ago. He detained the congregation a few minutes longer than usunl and scolded them. He called them gossips and wandal mongers. He said that they had been sa'ylug unkind things of one another. They had treaited per sons coldly whom they ought to wel come. Then the young pastor referred feelingly to one or two parishioners whom he himself had Introduced into the churdh, who hatl not been received cordially. Most of the members of that congre gation-went home to their Sunday din ner very Indignant. They said that their pastor was hotheaded and being very Impressionable had been In tluenoed by a certain young woman to say things which he had better have left unsaid. A few of them Raid that they didn't like Miss Seale very well mm fer MAKES m a ..;jmn ... anyway and; that they didn't have to speak to her if they didn't want to. If she.had rejnajned with the Method ists ali this would not have happened. They . agreed that the young rector should apologize. .! Some of them approached 'him about the matter of a retraction. He would have none of It. He went about on his bicycle looking as handsome and Inde pendent as ever. Then coldness laid hold upon that congregation. Some dldn' think much of a rector -who went "trapusslng around the country on a runaway wagon wheel." Home of them concluded that he spent too much time calling upon the young women and not enough in visiting them. Some said they never did like men with red hulr anyway. The Rev. Mr.Hageman thought that the treatment of Miss-Seale was very uncalled for. He championed her euuse like a knight errant, and thought that certain persons who drank tea ought to apologize to her and to him. He concluded after a while that there would always be more or less feeling against him. A most timely and con venient call cunie to him to be the curate of a church at Frunkfort, Pa. He accepted It at once, and the first the congregation knew of it was when they read In a local paper that he had resigned. The Minister Resigns. The Rev. W. P. Bird, canon of the cathedral at Oarden City, went to Ozone Park and tried to heal the breach. His mission was unsuccessful. The Rev. Mr. Hageman left for Philadel phia yesterday on his way to his new field of labor. Miss Seale has left town. Her family decline to say whore she has gone. It is reported that she Is on her way to Bermuda. She Is greatly pained and shocked over the whole unfortunate af fair. "My advice to young clergymen," said one of Ozone Park's ministers, com menting on the matter, "is never to ap pear to, pay attentions to a young lady who Is a member of his congregation or who resides In his parish. Otherwise he may be made the victim of unpleas ant gossip." iML'SIC TEACHERS TO MEET. tute Association to Assemble in Harris- burg Day After Christinas. By the United Press. Iluri-isbtirg, Dee. 2.

Special to the Scranton Tribune. Forest City, Dec. 2. Friday nfternoon two expert marksmen, William burns and Thomas Kane, of this place, went out In search of game. They were In the vicinity of the Goodrich" farm when they came' across a dead horse which had become fastened In some manner between two small trees, and not being able to extricate himself had starved to death.
