The Methodist Protestant church, as it 1s well known, holds the same doctrines as the Meth- odist Episcopal chureh, excepting that certain rights are conceded to the laity, which are not recognized in the M.E. church. Lay delega- tions are provided for, and bishops and pre- siding elders have no places in the church or- nization. The denomination had its origin in a general convention held in Baltimore in 1828, the delegates thereto representing mem- bers of the M. E. church (many of them ex- nen) who had advocated the rights of the laity. ‘The church formed tn Georgetown 1s supposed to have been the first to adopt “The articles of association.” A meeting was held in the Bridy street Presbyterian church December 2d, 1828, at which 22 men and 18 women determined to secede and adopt the articles. The followin Year the Georgetown congregation worshipe in St. John's Episcopal church until its church was ready. Rev. W. W. Wallace was ita first pastor. Under the fostering care of the George- town ‘church the Wasbington chureh was formed, the first class, with Rev. W. C. Lipscomb as the leader, being composed of Messrs. Jas. A. Kennedy, for many 7 ars connected with th city post office, and Mra. Kennedy, W. W. Bll ling, collector of taxes; Owen Summers, saddle ud'harnest maker; Khoch White, painter; A. J, Boss, 8. W. Boyd’and Mrs. Charlotte E. Boyd, ‘This cluss met regularly at the residences of members, holding prayer meetings at times, The want of a place of warship belng felt, and the little band having jncreased in numbers somewhat in the meantime, the erection of a church on the west side of i2th street, a few lots south of H, was projected. ‘THE FIRST CHURCH IN WASHINGTON. ‘This was a modest, frame building, known as the Tabernacle, which was dedicated Decem- ber 284, 1832, Rev. Dr. Levi K. Reese (who served 9th street in 1836-7 and in 1847-8), reaching in the morning and Rev. Frederic! Beir, who became the pastor of oth strest in 1838, preaching at night. Rev. Wm. Kelsey was the first pastor. At that time in addition to those named above were Rev. Ulyses Ward, @ local minister, Mrs. Susan Ward and Mrs, Allce Varden, and in 1884 Samuel Tucker, Belinda Tucker, Mary Grant, among others Joined the little band. Rev.’ D, Evens Reese ‘was the next pastor, and he was succeeded by Rev. Josiah Varden, a native or Washington, who after a faithful ministry of over thirty ears, died in Frederick county, Md., in 1863. ‘t was thought that_a more commodions house of worship was needed at the national capital, and the general conference of 1834 was me- moralized to indorse the project of building such a structure, and the result was the erec tion of the church whose seml-centennial will be observed on Sunday. THE NINTH STREET CHURCH, ‘This was a plain brick structure, with galle- ries, seating about 500 persons, and cost $800 for the ground and $4,500 for the building. After all the money that could be raised had been applied a debt of $3,000 remained, for which two of the members gave their notes’ To meet these Mr. Kennedy sold one house for $1,200 ‘and mortgaged another for an addi- tonal $1,000. The “house was completed in 1835, and the dedicatory sermon was preached by Rev. Josiah Varden, the pastor. ‘The official board at that time was com) of Ulyses Ward and W.Lanphier,local ministers;M.Sexsmith, J. C.Dunn, and_F, Howard, class leaders: Isaac Bartlett, A, J. Boss, H. 8. Robertson, G. Mo. Clelland and W. W. Billing, stewards; James A. Kennedy, W. W. Billing, Joseph Peck, Wim, Whitney and J. ©. Dunn, trustees, ‘At that date the membership numbered _but 34, of whom only Mrs. R. K. Billing, Mra. Ellen Alexander, Mrs, Isabella Stier and Jos. Radcliff are living. ‘The records show that the membership has varied from time to time, but. never was larger,compared with some other churehes. For the past thirty years It has aver. aged about 140, but it hasalways been regarded as one of devoted members, Besides the names noted above there appear on its lists the names of Rev. Gamaliel Baily, who became famous as the editor of the National Bra; Dr, T. G. Clay- ton, a minister nd patent atvorney; Wiliara Drake, aleading bullder, and Dr. 8. Howard, now of Rockville. It has’ sent into the minis- try Wm. Sexsmith, James T, Ward and George D, Edmonston. PASTORS OF THE CHURCH. Rey. Dr, Levi R, Reese succeeded Mr. Varden in 1886, and served two years, the charge then taking the name of Washington, During Mr Reese’s term he served as chaplain of the House of Representatives, and as such preached the funeral discourse of Congressman Cilley, of Maine, who was killed ina duel by Congress- man Graves.of Kentucky, Rev, Fred.

As near as we can figure it, though, there is very Uttle doubt about it The matter will be definitely decided on the 16th and 17th of this month. Then we will know definitely and officially just where we stand. The American Association holds a meet- ing on the 16th ot October and the day follow- ing it has a joint meeting with the National ie. On One or the other of these days our fate will be decided. “How do you figure It?” asked the reporter. “Well, in the first place, there is every proba- bility that the Metropolitans will drop out of the “American association. ‘They came ver near doing so this year, and there is but littie hope of their holding out for another season, If they go out, their place will have to be filled by an Eastern club; and it has been settled be- yond a doubt that fhe Nationals are their most worthy successors, and that A BETTER PAYING CITY than Washington cannot be found. We donot depend upon this chance alone, however. We count upon there being a vacancy in the League THE SCHOOL TEACHERS’ SALARIES. Refasing te Sign the Pay Rells Until After the Board Meeting. The teachers of the first division of the public Schools held another meeting yesterday after- ‘noon, when their action in the matter of the re- Anetion of salaries was thoroughl} discussed. After a careful canvass of the entire matter in ail its phases, the conclusion was reached that the teachers had accomplished all that they could expect todo. The object of the agitation Was toavold the usual consequences of acqul- escence in such an arrangement, and by creat- ing such @ public sentiment and placing themselves on record, the danger of the claims of the teachers being forgotten would be greatly lessened. There is no objec- tion on the part of the teachers to submit to ® necessary reduction, providing that proper steps are taken to induce Congress to: fate for the deficiency.

The only exceptions will be when there is urgent. and immediate ‘heed ofthe money. The teacher will sign the rolls and take the reduced pay, but in all cases when the necessity is not urgent, the teachers of the first division will pass over this month's pay day. Ifthe action of the trustees at the next meeting is satistactory, the reduced pa; will then be accepted and. the teachers, with the trustees as their advocates, ean confidently look to Congress for relief, This afternoon a meeting of the teachers in in the east which, if not filled by the Na-| the second division will be held, and it 1s ex- Honals, ‘will ‘cause’ anther wacanéy' in the a American association. Providence is, sure to | Berg’y, tit similar action will be taken in re- drop out of the League. ‘They eay they will stick, but every one who is well in base ball matters says that their failure is a foregone conclusion. The club hasn’t drawn well and its backers are tired of sinking money, particu- larly a8 the players who are high priced and have not done Justice elther to themselves In_case the club withdraws lace will have to be filled by @ club from the American association or by the Nationals, If the former a vacancy in the American ranks will be the re- sult, which will afford another opportunity for the Nationals, Now, I should not be surprised ifthe best players of the Providence club are transferred to Baltimore, and a league club es- tablished there and run entirely separate and distinct from the present Baltimore American club. In that case the latter will be killed to a dead certainty and the Nationals ean step into its shoes. You see there are too many strings to our bow for all of them to miss fire. I would much prefer to seea Washington club in the American association than in the League, and I think the majority of the stockholders of the Nationals agree op that point, In the first place we would make a better show in the American association, and beside we would be better off financially at the end of the season. A club here ean play a good many remunera- tive games early in the spring before the lar season opens, with — the clubs of other associations.’ Now, if we arein the American association and ‘are de- feated in early exhibition games with League clube, 1t would have very Ilttle itany effect. On the other hand, if the Nation: & League club, should be defeated in the spring by American teams early in the season, the effect upon the base ball loving public ‘would be very demoralizing, There is no denying the fact that these early and late exhibitions are of wonderful assistance. They have pulled us through this year. The Eastern association games were of little account financially. The competition with the Virginia elub paid, but after the failure of the latier there was no"lon- er any interest in the championship games. Now ibe Trentons were @ strong tea, but they COULDN'T DRAW A CROWD. The people weren't interested enough. Iam of the opinion that the two big associations will not protect the clubs of any outside association another year. In that case if we donot admission to elther the one or the other there will be no more first-class ball playing in Wash- ington. Even if we tried to run a first-class nine we couldn't keep good players, for the b! clubs would take them right away trom us. think the Eastern league another year will be composed of the Newarks and Trentons if one of them Is not admitted into the American as- sociation, in case of two vacancies in the east and clubs from New York, Connecticut an: Massachusetts, The Nationals will elther be in one of the bi associations or will be nowhere, We will hold our men at least until after the meetings, on the 16th and 17th, and it we should not be ‘admitted, they will be released. As I told you, though, there is but a bare possibility of their release.

To the Editor of the EvExrxe Sr. In a recent number of THE STAR you had an item from the Frederick (M4.) News to the dis- couraging effect that the golden daysof bass fishing in the Potomac are past; that the fish run smaller and do not take the hook as well, and that it is an all-day Job to accomplish the work which even five years ago might have been accomplished in a few hours; and Mr. Jesre Claggett, of Frederick, is quoted in the item for valuable information as to methods in angling and interesting habits and impulses of the lordly bass. Having recently had a very pleasant and suc- cessful, U poem short vacation bass fishing in the grand old river, 1 am able to assert wi considerable emphasis that the golden days have not departed, that in fact they are now here, and that the’ trul; bass fisherman should be on the alert a1 ing @ good time, My base of observation and action was Point Rocks, on the B. and 0. railroad, near Hi Ferry, where boats 4 nd bait may be obtained without trouble or delay. At this place Fisher, of the St. Charles hotel, will take good care of the outer. and George’ Hickman will provide boats, bait and attendants, At other places such ‘as Weverton, Berlin and Tuscarora, near the railroad and river, good fishing may be had. On my visit the nights were fighted by a full moon, the water was clear as crystal and the days were bright and warm, all rather unfavorable conditions, there being'too much of the warmth, clearness and brightness, I am indebted to Mr. Clagzett, mentioned in the item, a genial genileman and skilfal angler, who, in the goodness of his pis- catorial heart procured extra fine bait forme from some mysterious locality, and theroby enabled me to have sport that went several posnas over a first rate average. Mr.C. came In on three occasions with strings of bass of from sixteen to thirty-one in number, all of good size, and some large, and at one time he captured’a noble duke that weighed nearly seven Penne? How's that for golden days? One of my own strings numbered seven and weighed twelve pounds. the largest bass weigh- ing two and a half pouuds, not river estimate, but weighed on the scal and I saw seve brought in that weighed from three to four and S half poundseach, Of course there are men ine tackle who go out great expect Yong and bottles of beer, wit liquids and lunches in quantities, ‘whohammer about in their boats like carpenters, who expose their eager forms to theshy fish, and who, somehow, don’t have very good luck.

WHAT IT I8 PROPOSED 70 DO IN THE FUTURE— NEW MEMBERS ELECTED. ‘The regular meeting of the Clerks’ association last evening was unusually well attended. Elmer Dunn was appointed assistant secretary. An important amendment to the constitution ‘was adopted, whereby members may be ad- mitted for an ination fee of one dollar (Instead ‘of two) until the 1st of December, The object of this Is to secure a large number of members who did not know of the association and its ad- ‘vantages until the fee was raised. Evidence of its wisdom was given in the ication of twenty-six new members, twenty-two of whom were balloted for and elected last evening. Among other plans proposed for the associa- tion is one of securing suitable rooms, where the association may hold all its meetings, and which may algo inelnde brary and reading- rooms, rooms for. games, conversation, etc, It also proposed that lectures be given by practical business men upon business topics of such a na- ture as to be helpful and entertaining to the clerks, and that concerts be held sions given by the association.
