MAINTAINED SERVICES WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION SINCE REV-

New York, Oct 28—Old John Street
Methodist church, said to be the only
Congregation on Manhattan Island
which has maintained services without
interruption since its organization
prior to the Revolutionary War, is to
celebrate the 150th anniversary of that
event during tin* week beginning to-

It lias been claimed that Old John
Street church is tlie most ancient
place of worship of American Meth-
odists. hut recently its claims of- tills
distinction have ls*cii attceessfully con-
tested by u rural church in Maryland.
The local church, however, -is gener-
ally regarded us “the cradle of Amer-
ican Methodism,” since it was here
that the church was first organized,
in 1770, by Philip Embury, who held
tin* first services in his cottage, on
what is now Cedar street.
Embury, a native of Ireland, of
Henann stock, had liecome a Wesley
convert, upd was made a local preach-
er and class lender. He nml his class
of twelve emigrated to America for
industrial betterment, mid soon after
tliclr arrival set up n class meeting
III New York. The class members
and their leader ali la-longed t«
Trinity church, then a part of tlie
Church of England. At that time
Jolin Wesley, founder of Methodism,
was still within that church. When
Embury and ids followers decided to
build a chattel to pris-iHlm their speci-
al doctrines, the rector, vestry, and
many momliors of the Trinity contrib-
uted to the building fund.
Among the relics preserved (>UI
John Street church are n clock pre-
sented by .1 vim Wesley, which Is 185
years old. the old altar railing nml
pulpit hullt by Embury for the first
church, the old Embury Bible, Bishop
Anbury's chair, and a number of oth-
er articles connected with the earliest
days of American Methodism.
Leading Methodists from a wide
radius arc expected to participate In
Hie anniversary celebration. The ser-
vices will he opened* tomorrow with a

Father of Weather Bureau Dead.
Washington. Oct. 28.—Professor
Cleveland Ablie, known ns the “father
of the Tfeathcr Bureau,” died today
after a year’s Illness,
Washington, I). <’., Oct ' 28.—Every
farmer, fisherman or excursionist who
scrutinizes the daily ypeatimv reports
and forests, every Indian wdio occu-
pies his own individual acres or at
tends school, all who licnefit by the
extensive work of tlie United States
flsti commission, owe n debt of grati-
tude to Henry Laurens Dawes, the
centcnuinl anniversary of whose liirtli
Is to be celebrated Monday.
Born at Cummington, Mass., Oct. 30,
1818, Mr. Dawes achieved prominence
-and distinction during ids long term
of st*rvi<“e in the untionnl House and
Senate, though he never attained tlie
fame of some of ids contemporaries,
like Blaine or Garfield.
lie was gmduutcd froai Yule in
183ft, taught school, edited a imiier,
was admitted to tlie liar ill 1842 and
began practice at North Adams. Mass.
Not until 1S.TS when he was 41 years
old, was he elected to congress, blit
Trotn then until his retirement In
18*13 lie served continuously iu the
upis*r or lower house.
While Jnstln S. Morrill was work-
ing to secure the passage of tlip agrt
cultural cottojjt* bill, Mr. Dawes was
nt work on number measure of Im-
portance and after long’ ami perslst-
nt effort *ugha>ded lit placing the
weather bureau ton tlie plane it holds
today. The first dally weather re-
isirts were sent out in accordance with
plans devised by him and! he was the
founder of the* system that lias lieen
so extended that Its work is an Im-
portapt feature In the daily life of the
country.
(Joining from a state where tin* fish-
ing Industry has always la-cn iin]K>r-
tant, he realized the aid that might
be given It by scientific assistance mid
was due to him that the Untied
States fish commission was establish*-
ed. That commission hns been worth
many millions of dollars to the coun-
try. It provides hatcheries for cod,
salmon, lobsters and oilier fish, helps
the sardine packers put out n tiettcr
product, assists in oyster culture, call-*
attention to tin* food values of fish,
has brought tin* tile-fish to the talde.
nnd is having some success in the in-
troduction of (l^gfisll.
When the completion of Hvo Wash-
ington monument languished Senator
Dawes threw himself into tlie work
with the same steal lie had shown in
other matters and in him more than
to any other one man iielougs the
credit for the finishing of that impos-
ing work.
. But the mnsf important measures
with which the name of Mr. Dawes is
connected an* those relating to the
Indians, which he promoted after his
advancement to the senate and lie Is
perhaps better known as a friend of
the Indian than for anythii.-g else in
his public career. He was, chairman
of the Indian committee in the senate
and silent, much lime in investigating
conditions on the reservations and
studying the entire Indian problem
11c iiecame convinced that the govern-
ment policy of permitting the Indian
lands to be held by tribes instead of
by individuals or families, was nils
taken and set about rectifying it. He
drafted the severally law. which pro-
vided for a division of the Indian
lands and succeeded In having It en-
acted, The results have justified his
judgment, for the Indians, having pri-
vate. individual ownership, are In ninny
rases developing into successful farm-
ers. which they could not or would not
do while the lands were held in com-
mon by tin* tribes. He was also Instru-
mental in securing schools for the In-
dians nnt) providing for their proper
management. While he took a prom-
inent part in many other matters, Ids
work for the Indians remains the
great monument of Ids senatorial ra-
reer.
Mr. Dawes retired from tilt* senate
in 1SP3. nt, the age of 77. having been
in continuous service In congress since
1857 and In public service, beginning
with Ids electICn to the Massachusetts
legislature, since 1848. Ills death oc-
curred at Pittsfield. Mass., in 11103.
