It is hoped to reserve this water ex- clusively for household use by securing an adequate supply of other high grade water for manufacturing purposes, which should be of such a quality that in case any accident happened to the Hemlock conduits, the water for manufacturing supph' might be temporarily used for domestic purposes with a minimum of risk to health. The Chamber is mindful of the fact that the life of water conduits is limited. There is a danger of pin-hole perfora- tions after a certain period of service, and it would be foll\- to close our eyes to the fact that sooner or later there must come conditions of corrosive breakage that would place the city in dan- ger of a water famine. In such a case, it would be difficult to control the action of the ignorant portion of our population, who in such an emergency would content themselves by dipping their buckets into the canal to obtain water for domestic use. The danger of such a course is obvious from a sanitary point of view. The Chamber will not lose sight of this great menace to Roch- ester's prosperity and health, and will strenuously advocate any reasonable and economic measure to place Rochester in an abso- lutely impregnable condition in so far as its permanent water supply for domestic and manufacturing use is concerned. Rochesterinl904 21 As the health of a city lar^t-I\ dcpc-mls upon tlu- opportunities t;iven its inhabitants for the enjoNinent of fresh air and recreation, it is with pride that it can be stated that our city is equipped with one of the best park systems in the countr\-, views of some of which are given in this volume. These parks contain an area of 696 acres, and are at once places of refreshment and instruction, con- taining as the\' do over l,200 varieties of shrubs and foliage, and larger trees of almost every known species, such a variety indeed as could onlv have been obtained in such a great nursery center as Rochester and its vicinity. During the summer months free public band concerts are given twice a week in two of the parks, the inauguration of which, in 1901, can be credited to the Chamber of Commerce. The coal consumed ui and shipped from Rochester annually amounts to over 360,000 tons of anthra- cite, and 640,000 tons of bituminous. Over $50,000,000 is invested in manufacturing and the wholesale trades, and the value of annual manufactured products exceeds $70,000,000. The receipts of the postolSce for 1903 were $619,785.95. The annual increase for the past 10 years has averaged $30,000. It is the first city in the world for the production of photographic appa- ratus, optical instruments and nursery stock, the third cit\- in the Uniteil States in the manufacture of clothing, fourth city in the manufacture of boots and shoes, the combined amount of products of the two latter industries alone being over $17,000,000 annualh-. It has the largest preserving establishment, cider and vinegar factory, lubricating oil plant and button factory- in the world. The educational advantages found in Rochester are of the best. The city boasts of 38 public schools, with an average daily attendance of 19,000 pupils, supervised by 674 teachers. A Normal Train- ing school, attendance 794. A High School, attendance 1 502. (Another High School, with same capacity, building.) A Mechanics Institute with over 4000 students. A University with 270 students. Wagner Memorial College, and the Rochester Theological Seminary, under the control of the Baptist denomi- nation. There are also 18 parochial schools, 2 academies for girls, I academy for boys, and St. Bernard's Theological Seminary. Rochester is in proximity to some of the most charming summer resorts in the State They are too numerous to particularize. The most popular are on the shores of Lake Ontario and Ironde- quoit bay. These are reached by electric and steam car service, and include Ontario Beach, Summerville, Windsor Beach, Sea Breeze, Forest Lawn, Glen Haven, Newport and Manitou Beach. The more distant resorts are Sodus Bay, Conesus Lake, Hemlock Rochesterinl904 23 Lake, Silver Lake, to say nothing of the resorts that can he reached hy crossinti; Lake Ontario into Canada, and the facihties offered for excursions to the Thousand Islands. The Church accommodation of Rochester affords opportunities for the exercise of every denominational faith. There are 17 Baptist churches, 2 Christian, 2 Congregational, 3 Evangelical, 2 Evan- gelical Association, i Holland Christian Reformed, 6 Jewish con- gregations, 13 Lutheran, 14 Methodist Episcopal, i Free Metho- dist, 14 Presbyterian, I United Presbyterian, 12 Protestant Epis- copal, I Reformed Church in United States, 17 Roman Catholic churches and a Cathedral, I Second Adventist, i Unitarian, I LIniversalist, besides a church each for Christadelphians, Church of the Stranger, First Church of Christ (Scientist), First Spirit- ual Church, People's Rescue Mission, Rochester Italian Mission, Second Church of Christ (Scientist). The Hospitals of Rochester include St. Mary's, City Hospital, Roch- ester Homeopathic Hospital, Rochester Hahnemann Hospital, Infant's Summer Hospital, new Municipal Hospital for contagious diseases. There is also a State Hospital now being enlarged. The Library accommodations of Rochester are excellent, and con- tinually in process of extension. The Reynolds' Librar\ con- tains over 50,000 volumes, the Central Library, over 35,000 volumes, the University of Rochester over 39,000 volumes, the Rochester Theological Seminary over 11,000 volumes, the St. Bernard Theological Seminary over 11,000 volumes, the Fourth Appellate Division Law Library about 25,000 volumes, the Powers Law Library over 10, GOO volumes. In this cursory review of modern Rochester, the mind is again instinctively reversed to the past, and cannot fail to recognize the marvelous manner in which the city progressed with leaps and bounds from a condition of primeval simplicity and aboriginal control to that of a great and powerful manufacturing city. Its past cannot fail to be an augury of its future. Great as has been its progress hitherto Rochester's vast resources are practically only in the first stages of development. Nature speaks to us with commanding emphasis to utilize her gifts. She has supplied us with every conceivable facility for industrial and commercial progress and the enjoyment of existence to meet the most fastidious requirements. Nothing has been withheld to make human life in this city by the exercise of common sense and high moral principle enjoyable and pros- perous to the fullest extent. It remains only for our leading citizens to get together in frequent council to devise the way and means for Rochester's development in accordance with twentieth century enterprise. '^m'^ms^^ HOL'CjH most people are aware of how Rochester came b\ its name, there are many who will read what the late John H. Rochester had to sa\- upon the subject in a short article published before his death. We quote the followinir as a sort of memento of deceased : " Many people think that our city Rochester was named after the ancient Epis- copal city of Rochester on the Medway in the County of Kent, England. But this is not the case, it having been named after one of the original proprietors, Colonel Nathaniel Rochester. In 1802 Messrs. Rochester, Fitzhugh and Cornell purchased the so-called ' Hundred Acre Tract,' comprising the central part of the west side of the river of the present City of Rochester. The settlement was called Genesee Falls until its creation as a village by act of the Legis- lature in April, 1817, under the name of Rochesterville, which name was changed by a subsequent act of the Legislature in 1819 to the present name of Rochester. " The word Rochester is from the Sa.xon Hroff-crastus — meaning a camp b\' a swift stream : hrofT, a contraction of the Britain dwr-bryf and Roman durobrivis — meaning a swift or running stream, and crastus, a camp, the latter being the same word as the Latin castra, and the English cester or Chester as in Winchester, Gloucester, etc. Hence the name is singularly appropriate, our city lying upon such a swift stream as does the English city of the same name, the Medway being about the same size of our own Genesee river, and having like it a rapid and turbid current. "Another derivation of the name is given by the recognized English authorit}-, Bede, as Hroff-castris, the camp of Hroff, who is supposed to have been a Saxon chieftain, but in the writer's opinion, fortified by care- ful investigation, the former is the true derivation." R (^CHESTER is pre-eminently a cit\ of homes. The palaces of the rich and the cottages of the industrial classes are seen on every side. The majority of our people own their homes, which accounts largely for the permanent prosperity of our city. There is implanted in the human breast a natural inclination toward the possession of some permanent ding place — some spot called home and fireside, and no other city in the world having the same resources offers better advantages for a man to own a home of his own than Rochester. The reason is simple, for our city has a greater diversity of industries than any other place of its size, and all can find employment with opportunities for advancement b\' the exercise of industry, prudence and patience. Rochester is so situated as to afford ways and means for the best kind of living. It is among the healthiest cities in the United States, and in its environs land can be obtained so cheaply in desirable residence localities, that the industrial population can obtain lots for building, and it is an easy matter for them to arrange for the building of homes upon terms that are equitable and easy of payment by monthly instaUments. The three important factors in a city's development — street cars, an excellent water system and electric lights are available throughout the greater portion of our territory. No city in the Union has better facili- ties for religious and secular growth. Our climate is most invigorating, our surroundings most productive in flowers, fruits and cereals, so that our markets are always supplied with the choicest and freshest vegetable productions. The rapid current of the Genesee carrying away to a great extent the impurities necessarily attendant upon a large community- adds greatly to the healthfulness, while its waterfalls materially enhance the beauty of the city. Such is the city now numbering 200,000 souls, and which offers most advantageous opportunities for securing that dearest spot on earth — sweet home ! -Pochester's A^ mmm*^^''" > NTERESTii iiulnstr\ of R()chcst(_-r dates back to 1790 when Tj P'henezer Allen erected the first mill of one run of stone. In the year 1 807 the second mill was constructed, also consisting of one run of stone. The latter eked out an existence, and in the year 181 2 was purchased by Francis Brown & Co., and enlarged for the manufacture of flour. During the succeeding years several new mills were added to the list, and during the period from 1836 to 1840 some eighteen to twenty mills were in successful operation. Rochester then became the largest milling point in the country ; the quality of the flour was unsurpassed, which entitled it to the appellation of the "Flour City." Little advance was made in Rochester milling, however, until 1870, when the purifier came into use. This little machine thoroughly revolutionized the art of milling. Then came that invention of George Motley — the wheat splitting machine — which he ran so successfully in his mill in this city. Next came gradual reduction and the chilled iron, the porcelain and the corrugated roll, and eventually the improvement of the bolting apparatus, the centrifugal reel. Although Rochester has been partially eclipsed as a flouring center by the developments in northwest Minneapolis, the Flour City has not gone back ; it has kept even with the times, and is turning out more flour now than diu-ing any period of its history. All of our mills have adopted the roller system, and the quality of their product cannot be beaten. The Rochester millers are turning out as fine a quality of flour as is produced anywhere in the United States, and are giving Minneapolis a hard rub. (^ur mills are equipped with the latest and best improved machinery. A great advantage possessed by Rochester is her fine water power. She has also advantages over every other milling point in being in so close communication with the seaboard, which enables our millers to lay their product at the doors of their customers in one quarter the time it would take to get it from the west. The opportunities for the future extension of the milling business in Rochester are great. The expansion of our country, the opening up of new territory to cultivation and population, is providing new markets for Rochester's justly celebrated brands of flour. The struggle of the north- west to eclipse Rochester in the milling business reached its climax years ago, resulting in our city holding its own as a flour producing center. westers /yursems ^t^HlMiiffims€?|gM^-> OR atiriciiltural purposes, the country that environs Roclies- ter can hardl\ be surpassed, being rich in alluvial deposits, well watered, rolling, and consequently healthy and easily drained. These features have been taken advantage of for many years in growing seeds and fruit trees, industries that have attained a wonderful magnitude. Through years of experience, it has been discovered that the seeds propagated in this climate are remarkably hardy and prolific, and under naturally favorable conditions the great industr\ has grown. By the perseverance and energy of those concerned, Rochester has become widely known, and has been of incalculable bene- fit to the entire country, by the dissemination of agricultural and horti- cultural literature, as well as the distribution of seeds, plants and trees to the most contiguous as well as the most remote points. The magnitude of the business conducted in this branch of trade has assumed gigantic proportions, engaging not only an immense capital, but the attention of thousands of workers in all departments. The pioneer nurserymen of Rochester were George Ellwanger and Patrick Barry, who established themselves in Rochester in 1838. Other nurserymen having under cul- tivation many score of acres are Brown Bros., Chase Bros., Irving Rouse and Glen Bros. There are upwards of thirty nurserymen in and about Rochester. Many seedsmen also make Rochester headquarters, notably James Vick's Sons, Mandeville & King Co., and Briggs Bros. & Co. For a period of forty years or more Rochester has been famous not only throughout the United States, but all over Europe, as a nursery center. For many years Rochester possessed the only nurseries of an\' size in the United States. The first trees sent to California in 1849 and 1850 were from the Rochester nurseries, and sent across the isthmus of Panama on the backs of mules. They also sent the first trees to Oregon, and now California sends her fruits all over the United States and Europe. So the Rochester nurseries have supplied Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and nearly all parts of the world where trees can be grown. In an article written by Patrick Barry, Esq., of this city, in 1888, he said, in regard to the nursery industry: "I find to-day on the list of the Nurseryman's Association reported in 1887 for Rochester, thirt\-four nurser\men and sixteen dealers R o c h e s t e I 33 in trees. The latter are men who bu\- their stock from the nurseries and send out men to sell. These si.xteen dealers employ probabh' not less than 2,000 men. The thirty-four nurseries, man\ of which are very small, employ from 300 to 3 or 4 men each in their nurseries, and about 2,000 as travelers, making a total employed in the business of probably 4,000 men. One peculiarity of the nursery business is that the stock is nearly all produced on the ground by labor. Very little is expended to purchase raw material from abroad. Some commercial houses will do an annual business of millions of dollars and yet not employ so much labor as one of the small nurseries. The moral influence of the nursery business is a distinguishing feature of it. Its tendencies are all good, and that is more than can be said of some industries. That our country has made more rapid advancement in fruit culture and horticulture than any other country in the world is due in no small degree to the efiforts of nursery- men, and particularly to the Rochester nurserymen, who have sent their skilled missionaries by the thoLisand all over the country urging people to plant trees, plant orchards and vinevards, enrich the country and beautify their homes." The nursery industry of Rochester has done more for bringing our city into honorable and favorable repute throughout the world than can be easily estimated, and every firm and individual engaged in it have reason to be proud of their past achievements, and may look forward with confidence to a future of continued prosperity and more extended oppor- tunities. HE Water Cart S\stcni, for street cleaning, which is destined to come into general use, was invented hy a Rochesterian and first put into practical use in the summer of 1900, when Oxford street, between East avenue and Park avenue, was subjected to the new process. Commissioner Grant, who was then in charge of streets, witnessed the first trial of the plan. The original proposition was to drive two water carts used for street sprinkling, abreast with valves wide open. It was noted that the flood of water on the street filled the gutters with a swiftly flowing stream, and cleansed the street completeh'. The residents of the street assumed the cost of cleaning once or twice a week by use of the water cart. One man with a cart using full water pressure, accomplished the work in about three-quarters of an hour at comparatively small expense. This system has been in operation here during the past four years. An account of it was published in the local papers in 1901 with some remarks by the Commissioner of Public Works who doubted whether it could be used successfully in cleaning broad streets. The fact is it had never been tried in Rochester on broad thoroughfares until a firm from St. Louis appeared here with the same system that had been operated in Rochester so long. Air pressure has been added to the natural pressure of a full tank of water in the St. Louis machines making the stream stronger, and three wagons abreast are employed with six horses and six men. This system of street cleaning is far superior to the dangerous one of using broad revolving brooms which create clouds of dust often of a poisonous nature. The streams of water cleanse the streets very thoroughly and flush all im- purities down to the gutters to be carried off by the sewer. The system will no doubt become popular and be adopted by all cities as the best street cleaning device ever used, and the credit of its invention and its first practical use belong to Rochester. the OR a period of nearly forty \ears Rochester has heic F eminent position of beinj; one of the great centers fo manufacture of boots and shoes in America. There are only three or four cities that surpass Rochester in the shoe trade. Although the shoe manufacturing industry has largely increased in the West during the past few years, it is a remarkable fact that tluring the past decade and more the establishment of new concerns for the manufacture of shoes has been a marked feature in the industrial growth of Rochester. All the old style shoe firms have either gone out of business or have been reconstructed on Twentieth Century principles of doing things. The newest kinds of machinery and the most skillful operators are secured by all the Rochester factories from time to time. Rochester is noted for the production of women's shoes and holds second place in the United States in their manufacture. Philadelphia alone is ahead of us in point of quantity but not in that of quality. In addition to women's shoes the Rochester output includes the best lines of misses', youths', boys', children's and infants' shoes, which are marketed in every large city on the Continent. The Rochester shoe factories pay better wages than those of an\ other city in the United States. This is also accounted in the absence of strikes. There are 70 factories in Rochester, many of which are small concerns, making what are called cacks or soft soles. Over $3,000,000 is invested in the shoe industry in Rochester, and nearly $2,000,000 in wages are annually paid to employees. The value of the shoe product in this city is officially stated to be about $7,000,000 per annum. T was largely through the instrumentaiitv of the Chamber of Commerce that the U. S. Government was induced to suitably reward heroism displayed by the members of the Life Saving Station at Charlotte. After initiatory action taken by the Chamber, Hon. J. B. Perkins, member of Congress from the Monroe District, was requested to bring the matter to the notice of the proper authorities in Washington and he, with characteristic zeal and alacrity, succeeded in securing the recognition of the government to the heroic deeds performed by the Charlotte Life Saving Crew as the following letter e.\plains. TREASUKY DEPARTMENT. Ofice o) the Gen. Superintendent of Life Saving Service, Wa.shincton'. I). C. HON, .lAMES B. FERKIWS, Rochester, X. V. .Sir — H;ive the honor to forward to you to-day by United States Express, nine jfold medals awarded to the keeper and crew of the Charlotte Life .Saving Station, as follows, in recognition of their services in rescuing on December 15, 1902, four men and one woman from the wrecked schooner John R. Noj'es, which was lost on that date on Lake Ontario: George N. Gray, keeper; Lester D. Seymour, surfman ; Ira S. Palmer, surfman ; W. Vernon Downing, surf- man ; Frank B. Chapman, surfman; Delbert Rose, surfman; Jlial E. Eggles- ton, surfman; Charles Eastwood, surfman. There is also enclosed a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to each of the rescuers reciting the services for which the awards are made. This is the case to which j'ou called the attention of the department soon after the disaster. I would thank you to see that both the medals and letters are de- livered to the persons named and their receipts for the medals forwarded to this office. Respectfully, S. I. KIMBALL, General SuferintenJent. The letter from the Secretary of the Treasury accompanying the medals gives a description of the services rendered on the memorable occasion which reads more like a romance than an event in real life It describes the terrible winter weather which had frozen the harbor tug in the ice up the river — the proceeding eight miles by land with the Rochesterinl904 41 life boat — the deep snow and otiier obstructions — the dela\ in getting forward by railway — the Captain's forethought in telegraphing for sleds — the journey of four miles through drifts of snow at night — the burning of signals — the unsuccessful row of a mile in the pitch darkness and return to shore — the burning of Asten Coston signals — the few hours' rest for the life savers awaiting for daylight — the subsequent launching of the h'fe boat and rowing twenty miles in a rough sea under awful con- ditions and in a freezing wind — the eventual arrival at the wreck and rescue of the imperiled crew of the fast sinking schooner. The concluding paragraph of the Secretary's letter reads as follows: " Thrciughout all tile tryiiii,^ circunistaiKi.-s you l)<>ie yourself bravely, with discretion, great skill and sound judgment. Your foresight in ordering a tug frorn Oswego, telegraphing for teams to be in readiness at Lakeside, sending a lookout to the windmill, and your great care to provide yourself with ample compass bearings, evidenced remarkable prudence and sagacity — qualities most essential to a keeper— while your unflagging zeal and persistence in the face of great personal peril, showed that you took no selfish thought of your own safety. I find great pleasure in acting as the medium for the award of the accompanying medal which is designed to bear te.stimony of extreme and heroic daring in saving lives from the perils of the .sea. Respectfully, L. M. .SHAW, Secretary. ■• mttrs HE NEED of large areas of land for park purposes in cities Tl is no longer a debated question. It has been proved be- yond the shadow of a doubt that the more parks a city has tlie more moral is the population. Parks mean better health, better morals, more legitimate pleasure for the people. It is a clearly demonstrated fact in very many large cities that the creation of large or small public parks has been wise from a financial point of view. Invariably and necessarily the value of real estate in the neighborhood of newly- opened and completed parks steadilv increases. Rochester is peculiarly fortunate in its park possessions, and their distribution. The city itself, save in its commercial district and the central streets at and near the four corners, is a park in reality, so beauti- fully wooded are its avenues and suburban streets. Lake Avenue, East Avenue, PKmouth Avenue and other thoroughfares are so rich in trees and lawns that it seems like a waste of time to go into the country for scenic beauty. It is all within our gates. Our park system is but a carrying out on a bigger scale for the use of the people, of the same beauty cultivation as seen in the avenues mentioned. There is perhaps no finer territory for park purposes an\ where than that which lies between the lower falls of the Genesee and Lake Ontario. The inhabitants of Rochester, of course, do not appreciate the beaut\ and grandeur of the scenery because they are used to it from infancy. But strangers who come here are simply amazed that Roch- ester possesses within its jurisdiction such magnificent natural landscape conformations as are seen in Seneca Park. It would seem as though nature in primeval days had anticipated the conversion of this section into a grand recreation ground, for she left ever^'thing calculated to delight the eye, the mighty falls, the deep gorge in which is written history of the geologic formation, taking the student back hundreds and thousands of years, the wooded cliffs embracing many species of timber and undergrowth of great variety, vistas of river and lake from eminences that enrapture the artist and inspire the poet — all came readv made from the prolific womb of Mother Nature. Akin, in point of beauty is Highland Park, situated on an eminence that commands a panoramic view of great magnificence, including the city of Rnchc^tt-r ami a radius of coutur\ t-.\tctuliii!i to the horizon on every hand. Here is Rochester's jjrand botanic display, cidtured by the genius of our best nurser\inen and landscape gardeners in which can be seen a greater variety of out-door specimens of herbage and flora than can be found in any other park in the United States. To the south of this arboretum is situated Genesee V'alley or South Park, possessing a character of beauty differing from those spoken of. Here we behold the silvery Genesee winding through the meadows and woodlands on either side. On the east bank of the river the land is adorned with woods of ancient trees for a space of several acres, beneath the shade of which, in summer time, bands play periodically for the benefit of the visitors. There are many winding paths leading to the river and meadows where sheep and deer graze, beyond which are more woods. On the west side of the river are the canoe club and other houses, the golf links and base ball grounds. The opportunities for diversion are many, boating and canoeing being a favorite, while those of lesser growth patronize the merry-go-round or gambol on the green and play games of childhood. In the center of the most frequented spot is situated the house of enter- tainment where may be had rest and refreshment at moderate figures. Rochester has other parks that, of late, have grown to be beauty spots that not only embellish the city, but provide breathing and resting places quite near the homes of the people. The Park Commissioners have cultivated every foot of ground that has come under their super- vision. We might mention the Plymouth Park, a small enclosure, but most beautiful in the picturesque and cultivated taste displayed in its design. Franklin Square is another, beauty spot where venerable trees give plenteous shade, and the lawrTs are decked with floral splendors. The park known as Jones Square is another exquisite breathing place on the north side of the city. Brown's Square is another large space of park- like proportions, nearer tlie center of the city, where ancient trees afford shade and beauty in the midst of mercantile and railroad activity, giving a pleasing contrast to the work-a-day surroundings, and a pleasant place in which to linger awhile. There are other pretty spots that have come under the careful supervision of the Park Commissioners who deserve the highest praise for what they have done in the past, and are continuing to do, to make Rochester one of the most delightful cities in the world in which to earn a livelihood and enjoy to the fullest extent all those benefi- cient privileges which nature so freely gives to those who carry out her plans by intelligent co-operation. The appointment by the late Pope Leo XIII of Rev. Thomas A. Hendrick of Rochester to the Bishopric of Cebu, PhiHppine Islands, meets with the heart\ approbation of the American people. He will be one of the four American prelates to whose hands the crisis in the Church of the Philippines has been confided by the Pope and to whom our government will look as interpreters to the Catholic Philip- pinos of the honorable intentions of the United States towards its new- citizens. Speaking of the appointment of Father Hendrick, a New York paper said He of the strong men who never seek office or honors because office and honor seek them, and as a rule rather late in life, because office and honor belong mostly to the mediocre." " The Rochesterian " in the Post Express, speaking of the appointment, said, "Of Father Hendrick who is to be bishop of Cebu it may be said that he will represent loyalty to America and even to the misguided statesmanship which gave us our distant conquest ; and as he is in some respects a thorough politician, he will make the prestige of his position felt in public affairs, when there is need for interference. He will be true none the less to the interests of the church to which he belongs, and as he is a man whose heart is with the poor and whose instincts are against oppression he will become the staunch friend and counselor of the people of his diocese, not only in what concerns spiritual afifairs but in regard to their civil rights. There are three threads in the tangled skein which each of these new bishops has to unravel — the strand of loyalty to America, the strand of allegiance to Rome, and the strand of duty to his flock. Let us hope that none mav fail to clear away the snarl and twist them into a triple cord of unity." Thomas A. Hendrick was born in Penn \'an fifty-four years ago. He began his preparation for the Roman Catholic priesthood in Seaton Hall College, New Jersey, after receiving the education afforded by the schools in the vicinity of his birthplace. From Seaton Hall he went to St. John's College in Fordham and from thence to St. Joseph's Theo- logical Seminary in Troy, N. ^'., where he was ordained on June 7th, 1873, by the late Bishop Wndhams of ( )gdensburg. Then he came to Hlr^^Cll Sacrimriit Rochesterinl904 49 tin's city as assistant rector of St. AIar\ 's parish. He was afterwards priest at Charlotte, and Union Springs, and in 1 891 became pastor of St. Bridget's Church on Gorham street. Last year he celebrated his silver anniversar\- of his ordination. He was appointed by the Legislature a member of the State Board of Regents in 1900, to succeed the late Rev. Father ALilone of Brookl>n. Father Hendrick is held in high esteem by both Protestants and Catholics in Rochester. His activity in charitable and philanthropic work along non-sectarian lines has been almost as conspicuous as his church work. He was largely instrumental in organizing such societies as the Law Enforcement League and the Committee of One Hundred, the general purposes of which were to suppress vice and save the young from ruin. He was especialls active in the work of the Humane Society and in the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, of which latter he was President. He has the reputation of being a brilliant writer on philanthropic subjects. He was greatly criticised for the attitude he took regarding the higher education of women, claiming that it had a tendencx- to wreck a woman mentally and physically. Father Hendrick was consecrated Bishop of Cebu in Rome in August, 1 903. ST. MICH.AELS BELLS. The noisy city streets grow calm. The vibrant sweetness of their voice When at the vesper hour A message seems to bring, A benison falls like a balm To bid the hearts of men rejoice. From yonder fretted tower ; The souls of men to sing ; A song of sadness and of love The tuneful pleadings fall like dew. Upon the twilight swells, While in the heart there swells The golden-throated music ot An anriphonic response to St. Michael's bells. St. Michael's bells. O solemn bells ! thy music fills The earth with joy benign ; O pleading bells! thy music thrills With peace and love divine ; And so, when the long day is o'er, And on the world there dwells A brooding calm, I listen for St. Michael's heWs. — Ror/usIn- PuH Expr.-ss.

ROSS, President JOHN CRAIG POWERS, Secretary DIRECTORS Rufus K. Dryer James E. Booth Waller VV. Pew L. L. Williams Arthur T. Hagen Joseph Michaels John C. Woodhu Erbe FIRST PRINCIPLES If oil saves power, it follows that one sort of oil saves more than another. What saves most? That depends on circumstances. Oil that is good for one place is not good for another. That leads to this conclusion : If a competent person studies machinery and makes an oil exactly right to lubri- cate this, another exactly right to lubricate that and so on; then you can get the oil that saves most power in your work, whatever that work may be. Now power is costly and oil is cheap. But if oil saves power, the oil that saves most is extremelv profitable. And the man that puts within your reach the particular oil that saves the most power in your business is saving you part of the cost of that power. So that oil is vastly more than oil; it is power. You are buying power by the gallon of oil! The little money you pay for oil is multiplied over and over again, if you get the right oil. If there is a right oil for you, somebody makes it.
