THE REOPENING—HISTORY OF THE CHURCH—A HAND- SOME COLLECTION. ‘The formal reopening services, after the recent improvements of ths church, took place on Sun- day last, and a large congregation was present at the services both morning and evening. Rev. F. W. Conrad, D. D., editor of the Lutheran Observer, Preached the dedication sermon in the morning. His theme, ably handled, was the value of the Christian church as a divinely appointed agency for the improvement of human society and the salvation of the world. In the evening Rev. J. G. Morris, D. D., of Baitimore, discoursed on the “ Glorious Things Which are Spoken of Zion, City of Our God.” Dr. Morris 13 well known in this community as an able preacher, a distinguished theologian and author, and a prominent scientist. At the morning service an opportunity was pre- sented for the offerings of the people to meet, the cost of the improvements just. completed. The treasurer, Mr. A. F. Fox, presented a statement showing ‘that a balance of $2,175 remained, which had tobe provided for on ‘this occasion. The response of the people was adequate to the de- Tmand. In a short. time over $2,200 were contrib- uted in subscriptions and cash, and go the cost of the improvement was entirely covered. ‘The pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. Domer, pre- sented an interesting historical statement of the church at the morning service, tracing the origin, progress, changes and growth Of the congregation. rhe congregation was organized January 24, 1843. Tt was at first started as a mission church under the auspices of the Maryland synod, October 15th, 1842, ‘The synodical resolution was offered by Rev. Dr. Kurtz, (or many years the able editor of the Lutheran Observer. Wiis successor 1n_ the editor- ship Was present to preach the sermon. Rey. Dr. Ezra Keller was at that time president of the Mary- land synod. “Afterward he became the founder and president of Wittenberg College, In Ohio. A graduate of that college was now the pustor of this Church, and at this dedication president of the same Maryland synod. Dr. Morris, who preached the sermon at the laying of the corner stone of the church on the 18th of June, 1844, was then president of the general synod of the Lutheran church in the United States. “He was here to preach again at this re-opening and rededication. Both of these men were present at the first dedication, which took: place on the 1st of October, 1848, 33 years ago. Many changes have taken place during these years, and various tmprovements have been made at different periods; but this last. improvement 1s the finest of all. Tt has been made to correspond somewhat with the new Washington, and signal- izes the progressive spirit of this church In’ the effort to accomplish a misston in this city worthy Of her name and place among sister churches. Or the original members but few remain. ‘These few are the following:—Mrs. Wm. Linking, Mrs. Annie Spler, Mrs. C. W. Utermehle, and Mr. and Mrs, Adtz.” A new membership has tiken the place of the generation which has passed away. St. Paul’s congregation 1s to-day a vigorous, active and hope- ful Church organization, The Sundsy school, under the superintendence and care of Lucius J. Alden, 1s in a_ very flourish- ing condition. In sum total the school will give $1,000 toward the Improvement of the church. The Ladies’ Ald Society also has pledged itself for the payment of $320." Thus, by the combined move- Incnt of the virlous departments of the church, the aggregate smount of money needed has been f sly provided for—an achievement which js gratified all parties, and nowe more so than the pastor hinisel ——.__ Ladies im Court. Tothe Faitorof Tar Evewxe Stan: “Pater” says: “It 1s alamentable Spectacle to see young ladies in the Criminal Court, at the Guiteau trial, and a matter of surprise that any lady should voluntarily be present where there 1s a possibility of disclosures that would shock the modesty of a reflaed woman.” As well might be say itis surprising that any lady should attempt to travel on a raliroad train where there is a “pos- sibility” of an accident. Pater must live in the “rnral district,” eiss he wonld have known that the Ollver-Cameron proceedings ot court (and many other scandal cases) were served at tae breakfast table and In the parlors of the rich and poor every day, and were of the most offensive characte while as yet the proceedings of thts court been without contaminating Influences. Mothe especiilly, should elther hear or read of the natical influences which surrounded the prisoner, and which he was compelled to submit to by & parent’s enforced instruction and beltet.

A number of gentlemen assembled at the new museum building, Monday, to witness a fight which was expected to take place between an im- sense Diamond rattle snake and two King snakes. ‘The experiment was for the purpose of ascertain- Ing the supposed natural antagonism between the tiles named and the manner of exhibiting it, relative strength, &c. This rattle was sent here several months ago from the everglades of Florida, and is one of the most deadly and vicious kind. The King snakes are rather above the common size, and have been up here for several months. The rattler had been placed ina large glass case, and the two King snakes were slipped into his cage through adoor, set on hinges. The ex- pected combat did not take place, as none of the Teptiles appearto have been in a’ fighting mood, Several Attempts were made to stir them up toa ughting state, which rather had the effect_of wightening them and making them docile. ‘The rattle snake coiled himself up in one corner of the case and glared ferociously at the King snakes, but with the exception of a constant low buzz of his rattles, showed no signs of an attack, and the King snakes did not appear to notice him at all. After waiting round for upwards of an hour, the spectators dispersed, with canvas, the snakes being left together. erday morning they were found, each coiled up in a corner, and very quiet. It is belived that when they become famillar with thelr present surroundings the contest will begin, but a snake fight, it appears, cannot be calculated on with the certainty of adog fight. The belief is that the rattje snake will destroy the Kings, it being so much larger, when the battle does come off, if it ever does, Yes- eae A Curious Case of Feigned Insanity. HOW “EXPERTS” WERE PUZZLED BY & COLORED PRISONER. The theory of some people that Guiteau is felgn- ing insanity recalls the case of one Howard, a col- ored prisoner in the District jail a few years ago, who for a long time baftied the doctors and others. He was arrested here in the winter of 7980 for burglary and was indicted in seven casea, Had he been convicted on all he would ave been sen- tenced to the penitentiary for abeut 60 years, and probably have ended his days there. The fact that e had been thus indicted was published and made known to him and, in hiscell (one not far from that in Which Guiteau’ was first confined) he was one morning found hi by the neck. He had tied himself in such a manner as to make it look im- Possible for him to have done the tying himself. He was at once cut down and it was found that he had apparently lost his reason, as also the use of his Jems and the jail officials, nét then dreaming what he was feigning, removed him to a larger cell, he could have another prisoner to keep him company and walt on him. Here How: would le day and all night, apparently unable to move. He ate nothing so faras could be observed. Never spoke to any, one, and apparently was awreck mentally. Drs. Young and McWilliams were at first of the opinion that the case was a nulue one, and $0 Was Gen. Crocker and most of he Jail officers. “He was watched’ with more care than any other prisoner in the jail. The case be- caine one for study, and. some Outside physicians Were given an opportunity to examine I. It was not until Howard had spent several months in this condition that the officials became satisfied that he was feigning imbecility as well as sickness. Experiment after experiment was made with him. In the summer time flies were attracted to his celi in large numbers, While he was lying on his couch perfectly motionless they crawled into his ears and nostrils, and seemed to bother him 90 little that the most careful observer could not see a muscle move. Dr. Young, after a careful exami- nation, could find’ no cause for the condition of Howard, and with Gen. Crocker finally became suspicious that he was playing “possum,” but they could not bring their minds to the bellét that this man had sufficient will power to act the role he had essayed continuously. Howard's attend- ant one night discovered some of the food which the prisoner had hid away, and about the same time the colony of files in the cell having become reinforced a closer watch was Kepton him. One afternoon when there was considerable holse In the Dullding one of the guards walked nolselessly tothe cell and there found Howard industriously fanning the files away. As soon as the sick and demented man saw that he was discovered, he be- came helpless. ‘The physicians then determined to cure him, and giving him a shock of the gal- vanle battery soon found that It was not impossi- bie for him to use his legs. | He, however, became afterwards apparently as bad as ever, abd being brought into the rotunda one day, baving to be Utted, the battery was applied, and it was with dimcuity that the strongest men could hold him, and he soon found voice to yell out, Are you go" Ing to kill me?” After this he was taken to court, tried, convicted and sentenced to the Albany pen: Itentlary. Before going there he needed several other applications of the battery. On the journey he pretended that he was unable to walk, but the mere mention by one of the guards’ that his “comforter,” the battery, was at hand, greatly improved his condition and he was safely landed In the penitentiary walls. ‘The last accounts from Albany are to the effect that Howard 1s now one of the most efficient workers, 1s in fine health and as intelligent as any colored prisoner they have.
