THE THIRD PRESBYTERIAN. 1TS FINANCIAL CONDITION EXPLAINED, According to previous announcement, the qeal dealeatory scrmon of tie Tnird Presby- gerlan Church was preached by the pastor iyes- terday mornlug 10 the Borlety’s new church 1uilding, on Astland avenue, between Monroo and Madison sireets. Thero was a goodly nuta- werof people In attendance. In the opening praver, the pastor Lesought his Creator that the bone uf contention which hod been. mani- fasted in that Soclety might be so disposed of s to Insure harmony and good-felluwship o {he future. Just before commencing his sermon the rev- erend gentleman took occasfon to rolleve bis niod of & matter which appegred to be n tyyriden gpon it. He eald that be would like to make a statement regarding the finauclal condition of the Third Church, and at the same tiute disabuse themiods of some who might have formed cr- woncous impressions from reading articles which had been published from titne to time fu the newspapers of this clty. 1o took ocension 10 explaln to bis conerezation that thelr pastor s mot @ favorite with the news- pipers n this city. They bad s0 dtorted facts that {t waa made tosppear that tne church was laboring under a terrinie finaneial burden, whet in reality it was very Hght, Yet ho felt that he had himselt male o mistake on the Suuday before, but he would let that go. He said they were fn a most delightful financial condition at the present timte, When they purchnsed that churchy, [t camce to them with a bonded debt of £25,000; this wus at 7 per vent. They had also sfoating debt of §27,000, making ailugether o debt of $52,000, or, rather, $51,000 npon the shoulders of the church. His mistake was in that tebad tried to ralse the entire aniount at once. Tthad been binted to Iim by membera of his congregation that possibly that 827,000 mflt mean wore,—it might mean $570,000 or $30,000, Tuls was not_svu., On the contrary, he would 1y thatthe 27,000 really meant 826,000, and ol this amount he would also say that $17.000 tadatready been pledged, so that but $9,000 wasnow really left to be raiscd.. lie went on o aay that when hie read any of these hated ar- ticles Ju the newspapers that reflected upon him gessonally, {t oifected hun no wmore than tee wind; but when he saw il des thut refleeted diseredit upon s dear, biloved church, he feit very badly, 8i1ll, be constdered that the Third Presvytersan Clarch was too well known o the cominunity tesufler greatly trom the attacks of o hostile ress. The Hoanwial eonditlon of the church, ¢ repeated, wus never more hopelul, When they had gotten the §9,000, which they would wetalnly have in a few weeks at farthest, they would be entirely free from debt, except the Ittle matter ot $25,000, which wonld be sure tbe rafsed in gowd time, and casily, and then they, pastor and people, would Lisve woth.ng moreto do but {o go on worshiping Uod. Now, e had 1o wish to press the matter of subscriptions upon the people that mornjue; e Fad, 1n fact, Intended to Luve nothimg but the resular ehurch scrvices, lle then anvounved that the regulnr collection would be taken up, wul:h was done, He alko announced that Mon- day eventng, at half-past 7 o'clock, the further notug of pews would be taken up. There woulf be no auctlon thls thme, ha sald, but it would he *tirat coine, frst served,” The pastor then read afew thoughts contained fathe eienty-fourth psaln ns o text for hls re- warks, which, In purt, deseribed the bulding of Sulomon’s Temople, and the uses towhich 1t was dedieated, He suid David envied the sparrows, who were privileged to bulld thelr nests in tho toriers ol Gud's altar, whils he was himself o antive In a heathen Jand.

One of the Patien's Delivered of a Child. Rumors as to Hs Paternity--Nismanagement ot the Tastitatfon, The Cook County Insane Asslun and Poor- Tlonse, located at Jefersun, turns up once more with a most diszusting scandal. The victim is an inmateof the Asylum,~a femaleincbriate,— who has brought into the world a chill, the paternity of which I8 doubtful, thouzh the fathier must have heen an officlal or attacacof the Adylum. It willbe remembered that, inthe latter partof March last, a female patient was re. turned from Eigin, whither she had been trans. ferred from Jeffurson, for tho reason that abe was 8oon to Yecome 8 mother. Withber retern there were {nsinuations thrown out that the fatherof the child was & young man whois much nround tho institution, The accused 13 a mere atripiiur, 10 years of age. A TrinuNe reporter was detailed to fnvestiwate the case, Yesterday, accompanled by a reputahle phiyslcian of this city, the investicator repaired tothe Asylam. At present, Dr. Spray {s Medl- cal Bupermtendent and Peters is Warden, Dr. HSpray Is n recent appointee, and the prescnt dise wraceful aflair was before he came In charge, To his credit it can be atated that, since he has taken Liokd, the wards have all been clenned up and discipline instituted amang the uttendants. B, it {s yut somewhat lax. A zreat fmprove- ment has been made fu the class of attendants employed, and the loulec-class has been turned out as nearly as it has been possible. A hasty flum through the Iusane Hospital shows how he taxpayers’ property has heenabused throngh lack of proper care and attention. However, changes for the Letter are belug made as fust as possible. ‘v‘ue Poor-llouse Hospital for fetnales 18 & hurrible rookery, where puerocral fever broke out last winter in a most malignant form. Itsgreat defect lies in (ts ace, lack of hygienic facilities, and its tendency toretaln the iufection of confazious disestes. The cases presented In both the male and fewale are of THE WORST AND MOAT DISGUITING SURT, and the physiclans have no small job to at- tend to these chronfe cases. The Peor-House now contains 500 Iumates, including 140 chll- dren, over 100 of whom are old enouch to attend school, During- last winter there were 1,500 {nmates, showing that at least 500 nomads were shiclteres Leneath its rvol. It s a tastiug shamno for Cook County that pauper children arcallowed to remafn on the County Farm, which can to them anly be, from surface indications, a schoot of vice.” The Ring can well look up to this placeandsee what 8 lasting monutnent 1t is to its dishonesty aud mismanagement. The moner, judiciously ex- pended, could have bullt ample hospital room and a fchool-houee, and still huve Jett cash to spare, But robbery and fraud have been the order of the day, and the present horrible seuo- dalls only the outgrowth of the fearful mis~ mavagement I past years, DI APHAT with his asslstants desire to do thelr duty a conscientlous inanner, but the Warden is above them I control aud fic belongs to the prescnt controlling set, and hence vbeys their Leliests.
