| PASTOR'S WIFE 1S BLAMED. Mrs. Shaw, the Woman Named in Church Row in Bronx, Ac- cuses Mrs. Hooper. DENIES MARRIAGE STORY: Girl Whom Clergyman Is Said to Have Alluded to Was Only 14 Years Old and an Invalid When He Joined Pilgrim. According to Rev. John Hooper, of Pi grin Baptist Church, at Ore Hun- dred and Sevyenty-sixth street and Boston Road, he has been ousted from his pastorate by the efforts of & woman in the congregation who was disappointed because he was a married man when he took charge of the church seven years ago ana could not marry her adopted daughter, He charges, too, that in a recent meeting of thg church members, one of them threw a Bible at him. Mrs. Rachel Shaw, of Zyse and One Hundred and Seventy-sixth strec., is the ou... woman in the congregation who has an adopted daughter, and she admits that she is the woman re- ferred to by the pastor. But she de- nies that she was anxious to ha him marry the girl and puts the blame for all the troubie in the con- gregation on the wife of the minister, Mr. Hooper also makes accusations against the trustees. His resignation was brought about through the follow- ing charges: 1, That his sermons were dull and prosy, and that he often repeated himself, | That one woman counted ninety repe- titions and then gave up the task. 2. That in spite of an increasing popu- lation in that section of the Bronx, the church membership {s decreasing and receipts are falling off. 8, That he didn't make as many pastoral calls as he should. 4. That on July 13, he and his wife went on a trolley party ride to Hast- ings with a young people's soclety made up of members of many churches, though on the same day the regular Sunday school picnic of his own church took place. 6 That his wife refused to join the Wo- men's Society in the church on the ground that it was nothing more than @ club of gossips. € That he had his wife play the organ instead of the daugh:er of one of the members. The Rev. Mr. Hooper and his family live at No. 1974 Clinton avenue, in the Bronx. When seen there night he Gaye some extraordinary reasons for the opposition to him, saying: The Pastor's Story. “When I came to this church seven years ago 1 was on probation for six weeks, und met one of the principal women members of the church, who has | an adopted daughter. I was invited to | thelr louse and they were excessively kind to me, in fact, they pl me. Later one of the d me: ‘Well, we are going to engage you. | We nay a good salary, pleaty for gle man or a married man. Are married?” 1 said 1 was not only mar- ried, but had two chilcren.

At that mi some of the| women publicly insulted my wife and called her names. When 1 stood up to reply one of the trustees grabbed up al Bible and rushed at me as $f to attack | me. He cried out to me: ‘Shut up and| sit down.’ 1 sat down and was not at- tacked." | Wife to Hin Ald, | Here Mrs, Hooper sald to the re-| porter: | “When I was playing the organ the| adopted daughter of this woman whom | I succeeded as organist would hiss at | me and say, ‘You, call that organ play- | ing, do you?’ Taat adopted daughter almost drove me crazy.” Resuming, the Rev. Mr. Hooper said: “When my wife and myself were going ‘away on our vacation some of the peo ple came to say g00d-by. Among them | Was this woman, who said to my wife: ‘I hope you will die on the tain. If your husband comes back single he can | marry some nice girl In the congrega- | tion when he Is rid of you.’ Here Mrs Hooper again broke in to aay: "I did say that I wouldn't join the Women's Boclety because it was a club of gossips, and they are a lot of gos- sips. 1f one of them in particular @oesn't stop making insulting remarks about me I will have her arrested for slander and libe Blames Pastor's Wife. “I am the woman they mean,” said/ Mrs, Shaw to an Evening World re- porter, “I am not ashamed of what I have done, nor am 1 ashamed to say] that { bellove tt ty for the Hood of the] urch that Mr, Hooper should go, "The story wanted him daughter is fool! teen years old when to the church He Was ao poor at the time that the con- KFewation had to food him when he came | 6, preach on probation | ‘My adopted daughter was an invalid then ‘and she is an invalid now.

STATE, AT THE PRESIDENT’S. Imperial Chinese Con- veys His Nation’s Thanks for America’s Help in Boxer Diffi- culty to McKinley’s Successor. Wrestling. Prince Tsai Chen is the guest of the President at his summer home at Sagamore Hill to-day. He left New York this morning on the President's yacht Sylph, his retinue acecompany- ing him, as did also Sir Liang Cheng and Minister Wu, whom he will suc- ceed. The royal Chinese visitor con- siders this his most important mission in America, and was even desirous to make the trip to Oyster Bay Saturday, the day of his arrival. He has freqifently expressed a strong desire to meet President Roosevelt, whom he will thank for the Chinese nation for the part the United States took in behalf of China during the Boxer troubles. Im Royal Raiment, Prince Chen and his retinue were clad in gorgeous robes of state when they went aboard the Sylph at the New York Yacht Club pler at the foot of Bast Twenty-fourih street. After they had had a light breakfast at the Waldorf, Assistant Secretary of State Plerce called at the hotel and provided carriages for the party. The carriages drove down Fifth avenue to Twenty-sixth street and from there over to the riven Midshipman Westervelt SEA SERPENT IS CAPTURED NEAR HARBOR OF NEW YORK, “Jim” Wigmore Brings Monster from CHEN MEETS THE PRESIDENT.

On the way to the pler the carrlages containing the Prince and suite were followed by a horde of street urchins who shouted "Mock! hi," Mock! hi" Into the ears of the Oriental visitors. Not understanding the Chinese lan- guage as it 1s spoken by the New York street boy they smiled and evidently believed the boys were saying nice things about them. Assistant Secretary of State Plerce sald before embarking that they would return to New York late this afternoon and that he would take the party to | some theatre, which one he hed not decided upon. Assistant Secretar of State Plerce left his purse in his room, 615, or parlor | 616, at the hotel, and Detective Keuster | sent back for It.

Of course, and sea serpent would have apswered just as well, but Capt. Wig- more was after one with "eyes Hike port | lights, yellow mane and anywhere from fifty to a thousand feet long.” After weeks of observation’ and total abstinence, Capt. Wigmore and his merry crew figured that thelr sea ser- pent was somewhere about Red Hook. He set his nets for kim, and, together with Donald Burns, Darragh and others, they waited for the sea serpent to start buck for Hell Gate to scare the pilots of the Sound steamers, Sounded Like Torpedo-Boat. According to Darragh, there was ai “awful hissing sound, like a torpedo- bot Serpent struck the nets. “But neta would never have held him if he hadn't got his teeth tangled up in them,” declared Darragh, The Captain stories of all three there thrashing about but the » finally landed, Since Capt, Wigmore and his men got ashore the length, color and hideousness of the serpent has been increasing, By night the serpent may have got Jonger than the Brooklyn Bridge, Al ready he ts almost long enough to use as @ “third rail” for the Ninth avenue “L!" structure, Capt.
