TRII1ITY CHURCH REPLIES TO CRITICS Dr. Manning Defends Attacks Upon Himself And Vestry. 1 OF F Action Decided Upon Years Ago How Trinity Helps The Poor Not a "Bleb Man's Church" - New York, April 19. In a statement delivered from the pulpit of Trinity Church in the form of a sermon, Dr. William T. Manning, the rector, yes terday replied to the attacks that have been made upon the persons who di rect the policies of that institution. Misrepresentation, the rector said, had characterized the attacks. He re viewed the various activities of Trin ity and stated, with particular empha sis, that far from1 being a "rich man's church," it was ministering chiefly to the poor and was all the time extend ing its work among the poor. Least of all the parishes in this city, he said, could Trinity Church be accused of deserting the poor, and no one who had any knowledge of the facts could make this charge. "The present situation," said Dr. t Manning, is hot an ordinary one, and ' it is one which demands a plain and ! public statement from the rector of t the parish. I should have made such - statement long before this but for uth fact that legal proceedings had w be taken against us, and that I was advise that while the case was unde I eided d must refrain from speaking upon makers connected with it. The . wmse'queie 9.. this has been that - while others have been free to make tny statements that they chose, we I have been restrained from speaking: . even in our own defense. The deci- 1 of the court just rendered, which " should be read by all who wish to this matter, has shown J UUgC - how entirely unwarranted and with out ground this legal action was, and Ito that I need make no further reter tence." .The rector referred to the criti cSsm which had been aimed at Bishop Ctoeer for forming a judgment con trary to those who were condemning tl V coarse of Trinity parish, and to the 'and public protest to which this c Titieism of the bishop had arous 0,i fh tletgy of the city.. "TrimV JWlrish," said Dr. Manning, "has adot ihe PoJlc of Publicity rru i& issued a full public . . . ibo financial affairs 01 statement ot , th0 Hh h Wing not only its an nual income an d .expenditure in the v uarishes do, but same way iimi. u rxr flIn report of its assets anrl liabilities. E Wthifi.g that this parish owns or in an. V way mntrols is - inoinri-ari in that. statement. It can h oniH w "Ith truth that Trinitv narish Dursues a policy of se crecv or of mystery. 1 i'e are' believe, very few parishes or reliS ious corporations, whether oS- our own communion or any other, wh.'cn ssue so complete a statement of thei r bnan- clal affairs as this parish has lately Issued, although Grace Church, ur . daughter and sister parish, in wL'toe company it is an honor to he nanu-d, has issued such a statement since ou r 'own was published. I rejoice in this step and believe in it unqualifiedly. "I wish to say distinctly that this full statement of the ' affairs of the parish represents no mere measure of expediency adopted to meet a passing situation, but that it is a part of the policy which was in my mind when I was made rector. It was under con sideration and discussion before any of the recent agitation arose, and in any event we should have issued it. As rector I shall stand .always to the full extent of my power for this same policy. I welcome the interest of the public In the wprk which the parish is doing, and am glad for all men to are being used." Potatoes Going Out of Sight. New Orleans, La, April 15. Several weeks ago Irish potatoes were selling in New Orleans at $2.50 a barrel. The price has been gradually crawling up ward until today they were quoted at $4.fU - per barrel. New potatoes are quoted at $5.50 to $6 a barrel. Many of the local merchants have sent large orders to Ireland for potatoes, and several shipments have already arriv ed trom England. Neither will prosperity stand for rnsvA mnnv neonle. GtlRIICt AS CONFEDERATE NATAL HEROES. HaetXot Been Accorded Their Meed ot Praise by Current Writers of the , History of Those Times. The heroes of the Civil war who wore the gray have been long and abiy eulogized, but rather scant has been the praise of the Confederate naval officers whose acts of heroism were not so publicly recognized. Judge Wright, of Jacksonville, Fla., recently delivered an address in Charleston, S. C, on the Confederate Navy, of which the Baltimore Sun says: "It was the lecturer's opinion that history has made too little of the he roic achievements of the sea fighters of the Confederacy, who were at the start 'without any proper ships and without facilities for building them or obtaining supplies and equipment. Op posed to them was the largest and most powerful navy in the world. To show the difference between the two branches of the Confederate service, is they am treated in history, Judge vV'right compared the written record of Gen. Robert E. Lee with that of his brother, Sidney Smith Lee. The lat ter is scarcely known in history, al- tough Judge Wright declared his-ca- feer prior to the outbreak of the war was as brilliant as that of his more distinguished brother, and that he made a fine record in the Confederate Mavy. Without any proper appliances for building ships, the Confederacv constructed and commissioned Lue first iron-clad that ever engaged in sea fight. The Confederate .Navy also has the honor of having invented md first used the submarine torpedo. It. was the first navy to sink a hostile ship with a submarine. That wa3 the Cnited States sloop-of-war Housaton ic which was. sunk off Charleston by the submarine H. L. Hemley, under command of Lieut. George E. Dixon. rhis brave officer and his crew wept willingly and cheerfully to certain leath and perished with their victim. This was one of the most heroic achievements recorded in naval his- ory. Judge Wright discussed the bat tle between the Virginia and Monitor. rhe full truth has never been told of his battle, he said. He regarded the first day's fighting as decidedly the more brilliant of the twor -The lec turer gave descriptions of the voyages if the Alabama, the Tallahassee and )t Lieutenant Read's exploits on the ioast of Maine. The most remarkable it the cruises was perhaps that of the Shenandoah, which was burning ships ;hree months after the close of the war. She sailed 5S,000 miles in thir een months, being continuously out f sight of land for four months, and ailing for eight months without drop )ing anchor. After capturing 3G prizes Captain Waddell learned on Au gust 2, 1S65, that the war was over Me then sailed to England and sur rendered his ship. Later on Captain Waddell came to Maryland and he oame a citizen of Annapolis. In 1884 Governor Hamilton appointed him on the oyster commission with Professor Brooks and William Henry Legg. He united with the former in giving to the state the magnificent report which is now the handbook and highest au thority upon the subject treated. "The object of Judge Wright's lee tures is to raise funds with which to collect and publish the record of the heroic deeds of the officers and men of the Confederate Navy. It is a worthy object, and such a book may be made a record of thrilling adventure." PROSPERITY POINTER. Southern Railway Again Busy With Increasing Its Facilities. Atlaa, Ga., April 13.
