MONDAY EVENING, CHURCH ADVERTISING PAYS, SAYS HART Minister Attributes Wonderful Growth of Congregation to Publicity The Rev. B. H. Hart, pastor of Fifth Street Methodist Church, when asked this morning how he accounted for the great increase in the financial re turns, in membership and the general attendance at his church for the con ference year just closed, said he at tributed it to the general religious awakening of the city, seconded Un questionably by the campaign of news paper advertising and the notice given to church matters by the papers. "Of course." he said, "the faithful work of church people is at the root of the increased interest in religion, but I must give great credit to the value of newspaper advertising ju diciously used. I commenced the prac tice of church publicity last year after much study and I think the results are conclusively shown in the greater attendance at church and the in creased financial responses of the people." In the annual reports read to the congregation yesterday, which will be presented to the conference, the Rev. Mr. Hart called attention to the fact that the receipts were larger during the year by $1,400 and the member ship of the church is the largest since Its organization. During the year a total of 115,714 as collected.

TWO SLIM AUDIENCES HEAR "IL TRUTH" Company Composed of Exception ally Capable Voices; Produc tion Was Perfect The cause of presenting opera in English has been championed in many ways, but it has remained for the Boston English Opera Company to give what was probably the most com plete and best rendered production of any opera yet heard in this city. This company, with the very well known Joseph F. Sheehan at its head, presented in two performances at the Majestic, Saturday, Verdi's "II Trova tore." Mr. Sheehan has surrounded him self with excellent voices and dra matic ability. While the chorus was not as large as some other companies whi<*h have been here in English opera, it was clearly portrayed to the audience that scenic effect and the minor detail of staging were second ary in importance to the quality of voices chosen for the various roles. The entire company in their re spective roles were exceptionally ca pable voices, and not alone were they heard to advantage in the various big solo numbers, but as well In the trios and quartets of the opera, the voices blending with perfect harmony and without, as is so often the case, a predominance of one voice to the loss of the beauty of others. The Boston English Opera Company is one of first rank in its chosen field. The only thing which might be said to have marred the performances were the extremely poor audiences which Harrisburg presented. MAX ROBERTSON.

Pity the count less mothers in anguish for the fate of their sons; pity the num berless families now bereaved of their lathers; pity Europe over which broods such havoc and dis aster. Do Thou Inspire rulers and peoples with counsels of meekness; do Thou heal the dis cords that tear the nations asun der; Thou Who didst shed Thy Precious Blood that they might live as brothers, bring men to gether once more in loving har mony.

Lord, we perish, Thou didst an swer with words of mercy and didst still the raging waves, so now deign to hear our trustful prayer, and give back to the world peace and tranquillity.

BEAM'S BODY IS RECOVERED Of DIVER Structural Defects in Monoplane Believed Responsible For the Tragedy By Associated Press San Francisco, Cal„ March 15. Structural defects in his new mono plane, not inability to control the craft, are believed by local aviators to have been responsible for the death of Lincoln Beachey, who, while fix ing over the Panama Pacific Exposition grounds yesterday fell into the San Francisco bay and was drowned. The wings of the aeroplane had crumpled under the pressure of "banking" after an almost perpendicular slide of 2,000 feet. Yesterday was the first time ' Beachey had made, a public flight in I the monoplane, his previous flights here having been in a biplane over which he had perfect control. The aviator was extremely grave as he j took his seat in the machine and, ac cording to mechanicians, he seemed to have a premonition of trouble, but was determined to please the crowd ! of 50,000 people. Beachey's aged mother, Mrs. Amy ' Beachey, who lives in this city, col- j lapsed when told of her son's death, and is under the care of physicians. Beachey made the statement sev- I eral days ago that if he should find j himself falling he would head his ma chine out to sea, so as to not fall on j the exposition crowd. He kept his j word, his fall into the bay being about i fifty yards from shore. The body was found by a sailor on 1 the battleship Oregon, who made two I descents in a diving suit. Miss Ethel Shoemaker, Beachey's fiancee, was not told of his death un til to-day. She believed him to have ! been only injured.
