when tlio labor movement beenmo to

who, for nmny ronr-ono, seemed fitted to

Hugh Owen Pentecost, nml lio holds tho
wimo opinions nml portion with refer
crico to the movement tlmt ho did then,
Tho people of Unlay nro nlwnys thirsting
(or something now. This limy Ira ono of
tho eocreta of Mr, Pentecost's Inlluonco,
(or his Mens and bollofa are certainly
oorel.
Ho wns born nt Now Harmony, I ml.,
In 1819. Ho descrllios tho town ns a sent
of Fotirlorlto community, which had
been foundoil hy tlio Owen family, who
brought n colony over from England
find for whom Mr, Pentecost wns named.
This colony had nmny things In common,
nml Its members lived together like ono
largo family. Mr. Pentecost says, "Thero
tins nlwnys boon some socialistic blood In
mo," attributing tho fnct to his birth
place. Ills grandfather established a
nlmllar community ten miles uwny In
Illinois, called Albion. Both towns nro
ellll in existence Tho family resided In
Now Harmony only until tho subjeet of
this sketch wns S years old, but lived In
tho neighborhood until ho became ot ngo.
Ho wnsn printer in his youth, nml spoilt
soven years nt tho ensc.
When 21 yearn old Mr. Pentecost enmo
cast, entered Madison university, Ham
ilton, N. Y., and studied for tho Baptist
ministry. Ills first ohargu wns nt Hock
vlllo Centre, L. I., in n church partly
elf supporting nml partly under tho caro
of n mission board. Thoro ho was mar
tried. Whilo ut this place ho got into
troublo witli his denomination becnuvo
ho did not boliovo in closo communion,
and was obliged to giro up his charge.
Do says: "I was considerably exorcised
about it. Then I started nn Independent
church in Brooklyn, called 'Tho Church
of tho People,' but gave It up nf tor two
or threo years."
Ho next beenmo pastor of a liberal
Baptist church nt Westerly, R. I,, where
ho wns received with tlio distinct under
standing that ho held liberal dcnomlna
ilonal views. During this pastorate,
which lasted several years, Ids wifodlcd.
Up to this tlmo Mr. Pentecost's
charges had been in small places. Ila
bow beenmo pastor of a largo baptist
church at Hartford, Conn., being here
also received with tho understanding
that ho was "heterodox on tho commu
nion (mention." His pastorate at Ilart
(ord was very successful, between two
hundred and fifty and threo hundred
persons uniting with tin church through
his Intluence. Whilo in Hartford he
married ngnin.
When Mr. Pentecost loft Hartford it
wns to take charge of tlio Marcy Avenue
Unptlst church,
Brooklyn, N. Y
whoro ho re
mained throe
years. When he
left this church
hu left tho de
nomination also.
Ho then became
pastor of tho In
dependent Cou
grogat ional
oh u roh, New
York city. Dur

torato hero ho did n good deal of visiting
among tho poor. To this work ho at
tributes his knowledge of tenement house
Ufo on tho west sido, for he spent much
tlmo in such places, where many of his
-Sunday school children lived. Said hot
"That was a profound experience, bo
cause up to this tiuio I had been pastor
of tho average, well-to-do American
-church." And again: "It threw mo for
tho first tlmo In contact with tho lives
-of the poor, and set mo to thinking in
aconomlo lines. All through tho Brook
ttya experience I had been growing more
aad mora liberal, and while stationed at
tho Independent church I read Henry
George's books."
' la April, 1880, Mr. Pentecost went to
tho Belleville Avenue Congregational
church, of Newark, N. J., to succeed Dr.
jQeorgo II. Qopworth, now on tho edi
torial staff of The Now York Herald.
His preaching thoro was successful in
point of tho numbers who wero attracted
to hear him. His brilliant manner of
speaking and his engaging social quali
ties won hiu. fricuds on all sides. While
he wns at this church tho movement,
headed by Iloury George, enmo more
prominently boforo the public, and Dr.
VcUlyun's coming out of tho Catholic
church occurred. Of tho end of his
pastorato hero Mr. Pentecost says: "Dr.
McQlynn's attltudo led mo to speak
about him. I had then become so thor
oughly interested that I brought the sub
ject into tho pulpit, and it created much
opposition. The culminating point was
when the Chicago Anarchists were
hanged. I made a vigorous protest.
This was a protest, in tho first place,
against capital punishment in general.
In tho second placo, it was not n defense
of these men, but a statement that tho
discontent the social ferment which
they represented, could not be quelled
hy hanging them, but by removing tho
causes which led to tho discontent. This
brought the opposition in the church to
a climax, and I presented my resigna
tion." This event marks the second great
change In Mr, Pentecost's !e!iefs, for
when he lift Ids Newark charge he left
orthodoxy. lie at onco established
threo congr jgatious, ono in Newark, ono
4a Brooklyn and one in New York, which j

ORCHESTRA.
These threo societies were named
"Unity Congregation," and their belief
was expressed brlelly as follows:
Unity Congregation conditions lu fellowships
no dogmatic tests, but welcomes all who wish to
establish truth, righteousness and lovo In tho
world.
This formula, copied from tho creed
of the Western Unitarians, -has lately
boon abandoned, because tho congrega
tions wish no connection with anything
in tlio sImjhj of an organization, and oh
lHclally n religious organization. Thero
is absolutely no form of government
which holds them together. The leader
says that ho is announced to speak at n
certain tituo nnd place, and any who
wish, come to hear him, Tlmt is all the
organization there is.
Mr. Pentecost now says of his belief:
"I am a completo agnostic," nnd his ad
dress, given as in tho above programme,
contains tlio following sentences: "I do
not boliovo thoro is any God who hears
nnd answers prayer." "This
God that people talk about is n pure and
blmplo Invention." "if overy
ono would bo absolutely truthful tho
word God would go out of use."
Mr. Pentecost Is a busy man during
tho week, for ho is tho editor of a week
ly paper called Twentieth Century,
"dealing with religious and econotnio sub
ject) only," he says. It began its career
In March, 1888, as a four-page octavo
tract, containing only tho Sunday ad
dresses of tho editor, but has grown to a
slxtecn-pago weekly of good size and
neat typographical appearance. Its mot
to Is, "Hear tho other .side," and tho edi
tor says that it is "an absolutely open
forum" in which "any one who can
write good English con p,ik his mind
on any subject with whto'i 't deals."
Mr. Pentecost bays that lu. Lt still in
sympathy with tho Ilcnry Ueorgo move
ment and interested in tho labor and
socialistic questions. lie remarked: 1
accept tho philosophy of what Is called
Anarchism. Ho thinks that tho word
"anarchy" is a misnomer, und that It
should bo changed to "freedom."
In personal appearance, Mr. Pentecost
Is a man of good height and stature, with
dark comploxion, hoir and eyes, and an
animated manner. IIo wears gold bowed
eyeglasses. His faco is smooth, except
for a curling mustache, nnd his air if
that of a man who has seeu the world
and knows It pretty well. He is a fluent
nnd agremblo talker, and ono can readily
boliovo, after seeing him, that he is a
social favorite. Ho does not think that
children bhould bo taught to obey their
parents bevnuso tho latter are in authority
over them, but behoves they can bo
guided to know right from wrong and
make their choice. This is the method
ho has adopted with his own children.
Ills editorial ofllco Is of tho regulation
type, a carpeted, well lighted and paper
bestrewu "den." But his house in New
ark is a vcritablo gem, It is said, fur
nished with taste and even elegance.
Choice pictures nnd bric-a-brac adorn
the rooms, and It Is evident that the
hand of a true genius of artistic furnish
ing has been at work. True to his beliefs
on the laud theory, Mr. Pentecost is not
the owner, but the lessee, of his house.

Tho government's fog sirens nro niuong tho

pretty well Hrfeetod establishments, tlio fog
sirens, with all tho ncoustlo problems which
thoy glvo rle to, nro subjects of tho most In
teresting research, tho utilized field of which
Is still broad.
Each of tho sister sirens at Point Judith Is
sixteen foot long, tapering from tho throat of
four Inches diameter to tho mouth, thirty
Inches lu diameter. Thoro Is n diaphragm
ncroi tho throat with four squnro holes In It,
nnd across this illnphrngm and tho sunro
holes whirls, nt tlio rnto of l.'JOO revolutions n

without tho folly. Tho steam is sont rushing
between tlio flyinc spokes nnd through tho
holes, nnd goes rovebcrntlng nloug tho six
teen feet of cou Iron neck nnd out of tlio big
mouth with a ronr that makes the signal

forty seconds, nnd then tlio slrcu liellotvs
continuously for six seconds. Tho fogdnmsol
nt Ulock Island loU go every thirty seconds
Instead of overy forty seconds, so that tho
mariner who observes his chart can always
tell which shore ho Is closer on by counting
tho Intervals between tho fog sirens' blasts.
Tho luiportaueo of this difference of Interval
may not bo fully nppnrent to tho landsman,
nnd It not nl ways regarded by tho mariner
guiding his ship blindly through Impenetra

master of a sailing vessel maintaining a re

contour of tho coast and tho mnko of tho

Tho dovolopmcut of tho slrcu has presented

that carry lu bellowing far out into tho sea,
sometimes tho ponderous sound disappears
