Tryon St. DER II WAS H 0 $ OF DR, R1SF0R0 A Great and Beloved Man, 23 Years Rector of St. George's Brief; Sketch o his Life and Work.: Once Preached in Char- lotte. v- Correspondence of The News. I New York, Feb. 11. The resigna tion of Rev. Dr. Rainsford as pastor of St. George's is of interest to the Epis copal world of the entire East. His brain, energy ' and executive ability made cf St. George's a great church, famed for its Christian activity and varied institutional work. Dr. Rainsford became rector of St. George's parish in 1883. He was then 32 years of age, of fine physique and in. robust health. The church was", practically without a congregation. It) had small facilities for parish work and ? practically no endowment. As stated by his vestrymen in the resolutions re- Igarding his leaving: "He lays down ! his charge after twenty-two years of exhausting labor, impaired in health j ! by the'burden of the care of 7,000 soul j j with the endowment fund increased by i ! $300,000, 'with a parish building coin-i plete in accommodation and equipment i j and which is a model of successful and j useful operation, with a deaconess! house, a trade school and a seaside eoti.age, with ari official force df twen- ty men and women, an army of volun- j teer workers unsurpassed in numbers, intelligence and devotion, and with a reputation acquired for the parish as extended .as American Christianity. His name is written large in the an nals of our religious and civic life, and he will be followed in his retirement by the affectionate solicitude for his welfare of the congregation that he gathered, and by the respect of the many who profited by his' teaching and by his personal ministration." The Evening Sun says of Dr. Rains ford: "Long before people had begin to talk of the 'strenuous' and the 'sim ple life' he had combined the two in a notable degree. Muscular theology has always appealed to the popular imagination. Dr. Rainford has been a muscular Christian. He carried into the pulpit and upon the platform a good deal of the breeziness of the man who was as much at home with a gun under his arm and a dog at his heels as when he was in his own. study. His success in making his parish one of the best known, the most highly organized and most successful in the United States was owing to .his firm belief in the doctrine of efficiency. He was a born administrator, and all those about him had to work hard.. "There was a time when the heads of great parishes, like the heads of universities and colleges, were expect ed to be only retired scholars. Owing to. a. ponibipation of jjrumstancs,that time' has" come to' an end. University presidents and clergymen having the cure of souls must now be business men to a greater or less extent, if they are to keep the complicated plants of which they have control running in good order. Dr. Rainsford had no am bition for lawn sleeves and found his parish more interesting than any bis hopric would have been." "Dr. Rainsford was born in Dublin, Ireland, October , 30, 1850. He was educated in England, being graduated from St. John's College, Cambridge; in 1872. He received his degree of D. D. in 1886 from Trinity College, Hartford, Conn. From 1873 to 1876 he was cu rate of St. Giles', Norwich, England, then he traveled in the United States as a missionary. "In 1876 he became assistant rector at, St. James' Cathedral and remained there until 1883. In that year he was chosen rector of St. George's." Dr. Rainsford was known personally to many in Charlotte. He was heard ence in St. Peter's Episcopal Cuhrch, accepting an invitation, to preach there, from Rev. Mr. Hoffman, then rector of the church. Dr. Rainsford had preceded him and the building was packed. Dr. Rainsford was famous for the boldness of his utterances and for the manner in which he denounced -the in dolent rich and the wasteful extrava gance of the wealthy classes, although he preached to the wealthiest congre gation that worship within the four walls of any ;hurch in New York. Out of Taste. It sounds a little strange that a dignified and austere congressman should choose to give his fiance a poodle dog as a present, and that a president's daughter should be inclin ed to idolize one. But there's little difference in the makeup of folks after all. Charlotte News. Or pay a glowing tribute to her in a speech before an audience,, of which she formed a part.

Stealey A Very Interesting Book. A most interesting book lately from the press is "Twenty Years in the Press Gallery," by Mr. O; O. Stealey, Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier-Journal. " ' ' The book is written in the concise admirable style for whieh JVIr. Stealey is characteristic, and is withal, instriic tiye and very-interesting ' V. , Mr. Stealey has been correspondent in the National Capital for his paper since the early Eighties, and this, fact together - with his intimate acquaint ance with the public men of his term, has given him unusual opportunities to note the goings-on in Congress, and to . study the charactler and peculiari ties cf the men sent ther-j during the past twenty odd years. His early career was during the time when the great struggle between -the two wings of the Democratic party differing on the tariff and lei by Carl isle, Randall, Mills and Crisp was in full blast . The-story of this fight al ways interesting is made much more so by Mr. Stealey's manner of telling it. . And the account of the making of the "Reed Rules' and the long, harsh struggle following the "Counting of a Quorum" by Mr. Reed, is cleverly written and cannot fail to be of much interest to the reader. Very entertaining an I valuable are the chapters on the duties, worries and p'ea.suras of the Washington corres pondent jmd the member of Congress. The woes of the new member are de picted in'Mr. Stealey's catchiest style. Appended to Mr. Stealey's story are numerous "Characteristic Sketches of Prominent Men," by the author and other correspondents at the capitol. These sketches contain some very fine pen pictures of the men of the times the public men of the last two de cades. ' The sketch of Senator Joe Black burn, recently defeated for de-election, is one cf the best. This sketch is by Watterson, Stealey. Two incidents are given illustrating Blackburn's unfail ing cordiality and- great popularity. Illustrating the latter, Mr. Stealey tells of . an incident that " occurred shortly after Blackburn's defeat by the Republicans in 1896, in the great land slide of that year. The defeated Senator, heartsick and weary with the struggle, wras walking toward his hotel in Washington, when a man passed him, paused, turned and said: "Is this Senator Blackburn?" Tue Senator looked around. "I have never met you," continued the stranger, "I simply want to express my regret at your defeat." , "That's all right." re turned Blackburn with feeling, "f am glad to meet you, sir; Iappreciate your stopping me.' fF hope you wi!1 al ways speak to me. God bless you, sir." Another, very hjteres'.Wg sketch is that of Thomas B. Reed, the "Czar of the House," by A. 'Maui ic 3 Low. Near ly all the sketches? are good and fairly accurate. - North Carolinians will regret, that the book contains ;nq separate sketch of, Senator Vance, enough Mr. Stealey f requently mentions ' bi'fafojf.iTyltf the reminiscence.sj A two-page sketch is given of Senator ' Ransom, by F. A. Richardson. We are inclined to think that scant justice meted out to the "Old Man Eliquent," in this sketch. Mr. Richardson speaks of him as "an indolent man,"? and T a.s one who "in dulged but littloV . in argument or technicalities, but i was immense at strewing the flowers of rhetoric." However, this is'pariaHy atoned for when it is said that he was "a man of fine presence and j most agreeable per sonality, dignified, et suave and of per sive, self-willed, '.. dominating" and through measures in which' his people were interested by.private suggestion and appeal, when argument on the floor would have failed.", It is easily seen that Mr. Cleveland was not a favorite of Mr. Stealey's. He speaks of Mr. Cleveland as "aggres sive, self-willed,: dominating, and charges him with ingratitude. We quote again, "He (Cleveland) had little use for the men who made him men like Gorman who spent sleepless days and nights in seeing that he had 'a fair count' in New York after the '84 election, and Whitney, who renomi nated and re-elected him in '92. He turned each of these gentlemen down at the very first opportunity, and be stowed his favors upon entire strang ers in the Demorcratic party." ' In comparing Mr. McKinley's pleas ant manners with Mr. Cleveland's bluntness, the author says: "He (Mc Kinley) had more .'diplomacy in his lit tle finger than Cleveland had in his en tire body.' Mr. Stealey thinks Mr. Cleveland was almost entirely respon sible for the disasters to ' Democracy during his administration. : Whether one agrees with the author or not, we are bound to admire his evident sincerity, and his attractive way of saying what he has to say. "Not the least interesting feature of the book is its introduction by the vet eran editor of The Courier-Journal. We need say nothing; about that. Colonel Watterson's inimitable style is too well known and too universally enjoy ed to need any comment here. ; - Summing it all up,' there is no gain saying the fact that "Twenty Years in the Press Gallery" is a good book, well written, as is all of Mr.; Stealey's work, and will be greatly enjoyed by thous and of the author's admirers. .
