E. Church, One ‘Hundred and Twenty-ninth street and Seventh avenue, for some time, was de- eided last Sunday in the amrmative. Not, however, before half 2 dozen of the more conservative singers had with- @rawn from the body as an evidence of their disapproval of the new order of things and several influential members of the congregation had appeared to side with them in their protest. The church, which has a seating ca- pacity of 2,200, is one of the largest Protestant organizations in the city. The wealth of its members is indicated dy the fact that at a single session in the beginning of the year pledges of $76,000. the entire church debt, were received, and more than half that @mount has ..ready beon paid into the treasury, Innovation for Methodis Tho wearing of vestments by a Meth- dist choir ts a decided innovation, aa there are not more than half a dozen churches of that falth in the United States in which the singers wear other than atreat attire. The pastor, Dr. Willis P. Odell, thoug:a @ very progressive clergyman, is not Girectly responsible for the Introduc- jon of vestments, which must be cred- dted to Mrs. Jenny Lind Green, formerly @s.rganist of Grace Church, Baltimore, the w?

You know there is a gooa @eal of prejudice among narrow-mind- ed people against women organists, ana I think ¢he wearing of the vestments Goes away with some of it. “When I stated that 1 would appear oniy thus attired the committee began to ponder how it would look to have Bn organist in vestments and a choir bee of them. What they call. the junior choir, consisting of about sixty hildren, have worn vestments for sev- eral ear But the young women of the funior choir were accustomed to come to church in fancy waists of all shades and patterns, and the result Then they stood up to sing was a ra\n- bow effeét which was not Inspiring. Some Singers Disapproved, “The committee finally decided—as 1 Would not appear without vesuments— that to secure a more harmonious whole the senior choir should wear them too. ‘When the question first came up sev- eral of the older singers expected strong Isapproval and sald that If vestments were adopted they would resign, “When the decision of the committee Was announced they were true to their threat and sent in thelr resignations, Which were accented. Places Quickly Filled. “Fortunately the disgruntled ones were those whose services we could most easily dispensd with. You know there are always a few members of the choir who have seen long service and are re- tained as singers more from courtesy than any need of them, “In the services last Sunday the voices of those who resigned were certainly not missed, as they had been replaced by younger, and better ones. The young girls looked charming in their black and white vestments. The church was Packed and everyvody said there had Hever been a finer service. “Why. I have received twenty letters fince Sunday from members of the con- Fregation to whom Tam not personally mee telling me how much they were “Not Much Oppositio The pastor of Calvary, Dr. Willis P. Odell, who was a personal’ friend ot President McKinley, whén seen at his homo, No. 2190 Seventh avenue, was in- clined to minimize the dissensiona said to have resulted from the adoption of Vestments by the senior chor. “Ours Ig @ very large congregation, he sald, “and of course ‘all the memn- ders cannot think altke on all subjects. But if any objection was made to a Vested choir it certainly came from a very small number of persons, “The whole question was decided by the Musical Committee. Personally, L was not consulted. Tho appearance’ ot a vested cholr is certainly more pieas- ing than that of a dozen young women wearing a8 many different hats and gowns, Only Dignified Garb. “One could not, of course, attempt to regulate the street costume of the sing- ers, and the adontion of vestments was the only method by which a. uniform and dignified garb could be assured, “While not generally worny | 1n Methodist churches. thev are not really. an innovation. John Wesley wore vest- ments, He never entered the puipit without having them on, and ull his fol- lowers did Ikowlse, Calvary 1s not the first Methodist ehurch of this day to have a vested cholr, There are several throughout the country, and two—the Metropolitan and St, Paul's—in New York City.” ——$—<——— ' GAPUCHINS EXPELLED. ©orntcans Fight for Friars Who Were Besteged and Without Food, PARIS, May 6.—A despatch from Bas- tia, Corsica, says the Capuchins who had been barricaded in their menastery there for many days were expelled to- day by the police, a detachment of In- fantry and a number of gondarmes.

Her first husband was a British army officer and Mies Edna ts his daughter, eighteen years old, But Mr. Rich alleges awful goings on be- tween the youth and Mrs, Rich at their cottage at Lake Placid, in the Adiron- dacks, last September. ‘ After that, Mr. Rich alleges in am- davits filed by Richard T.
