An Important Eveat to Be Celebrated To- morrow at Grace Reformed Church — The Career of an Historie Church — Its Origin and Development. — Tomorrow will be a time of unnsual interest to all members and friends of the “Reformed Church of the United States.” The one hun- dredth anniversary of the independence of that denomination from the mother church on the continent will then be celebrated. The oc- casion will be one of thankfulness on account of the many difficulties it has so nobly sur- mounted in ite past Yistory and of hopeful looking forward to the future. At Grace Reformed Chapel, on 15th street Detween Rhode Island avenue and P street, centenary services will be held at 11 a.m., the pastor, Rev. Mr. Apple, officiating. The ser- mon will be delivered by Rev. George W. Richards of Allentown, Pa. In the evening| 1. N. there will be a service of praise and addresses visiting clergymen. The pastor and people the German congregations in this city of this denomination will join tn these services. On Monday evening a reception will be given by the ladies of the congregation in the re- cently completed parsonage, 1405 15th street, AN INTERESTING HISTORY. Although late in its advent to the city and small in its two representative congregations here, as compared with the large churches of Washington, the Reformed Church, in the his- tory that lies back of it, its present vitality and its future promise. holds a position that must attract the attention of every one interested in tho progrees of Christianity in this land. ile the Reformed Church in the United ‘States—sometimes called formed (Ger- man) in distinction from the Reformed (Dutch) —eelebrates this year the 100th anniversary of its mdependent existence in this country, yet if the date of its origin is taken from the begin- ning of the reformation, from the time when in 1517 Zwingliat Einsiedeln, in Switzerland, fulmi- nated against ecclesiastic corruption, and Lu- ther nailed his protest to Witten! Church door in Germany. then the Reform Church is in its$77th year. Its pathway through these nearly four centuries of history has been consecrated by the blood of many and is redolent with the me of con! ” faith. No portion of ’s church can show devotion mere trno, suffering more severe or constancy more enduring than that displayed by Reformed people in the maintenance of their Tights of conscience. The name “Reformed” was originally applied to the numerous churches that in the sixteenth century, with one accord, began to “reform” the doctrine and customs of the Church of Rome. ‘These arose in Switzerland, France, Germany, England and Scotland. They never contem- lated severance from the communion of the joman Church and accepted the alternative only when it was forced upon them. Although in England and Scotland the name Presby- terian was afterward given the name Reformed ‘was a¢ first applied to all reformation churches with the exception of those that followed the Augsburg concession. Luther's attitude toward Zwingli at Marburg concerning the doctrine of the Lord’s supper precipitated a division of the Reformation Church into Reformed and Luth- eran, which has continued to the present. Luther afterward softened in his attitude toward his antagonists, andsubsequently, under the influence of the and his warn friend Calvin, the two churches approached toward a union. Yet it was too late, the breach had been made and could not be healed entirely. FLED TO THIS COUNTRY. The Reformed Church in the United States originated with refugees, scattered bands of exiles for conscience sake who fled from re- ligions persecution in Europe, notably those following the decrees of Louis XIV, the revo- cation of the edict of Nantes, by which he out- lawed the Huguenots, and the ravaging of tho Palatinate,by which the smili: inei home of the Reformed Chui of Germany, was turned into a wilderness and her happy people made homeless. re from @ Palatinate, reinforced by the Huguenots and other exiles, having settled in this country from New York to the Carolinas, were gathered into congregations by self-denying miséionaries and subsequently, in 1747, organized into = synod by the master spirit of Michael Schlat- ter. After a half century of dependence upon the churches of Holland for support the church here became _self.support- ing and declared its independence in 1798. Its strength then, so far as members go, was by no means such as to inspire ao mh any great degree of self-complacency, for there were only twenty-two ministers and about 150 churefien. ‘These were beset by many difficul- ties—notably the conflict of Ianguage—which other churches of English origin never knew. But the growth of the church since then has been steady, and in recent years rapid, its rate of increase since 1880, according to the late cen- sus, showing a percentage equal to the major- ity of the growing churches of the country. The ministry, numbering twenty-two a century ago, is now over 900, and the 150 churches have fncreased to over 1,600, withamembership of over 200,000. The churches are scattered through- out twenty-cight states, but aro strongest in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Caro- lina, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin. ONE OF THE FOUR GREAT CONFESSIONS, The spirit of the Reformed Church in the United States breathes in its confession of faith the Heidelberg catechism, first promul- gated in 1563. At present acknowledged by millions, ‘translated into alll the | principal tongues of tho word, it ranks as one of the four great Protestant confessions, Lutheran, the catechism of the Ch England, the Westminster and the Heidelberg. True to the conciliatory spirit of her catechism, the Reformed Church has avoided all extremes in doctrine and practice; it has laid stress rather on the positive essentials of Christian truth as they are revealed in the person of Christ, basing iteelf on th * creed, and secking rather the things on which Christians agree than those on which they differ. ‘The Chareh has over sought after unit and co-operation with sister churches. It has become one of the teading members of the alliance of reform churches throughout the world and only recently responded heartily to an overture from the Reformed (Dutoh) Church to enter intoa federal union with that body. The great desire at present scems to be for closer union of the Christian churches. may be realized under some form of federal union analogous to that between the states in which the various parts or denominations, each preserving its own autenomy shall, be bound in such @ union as will permit fredom of action in sectional affairs. atthe samo time reserving con- cert of purpose and action along general lines, Springtime In Washington. ‘Mrs. Francis Hodgson Then—even in February—there come some wonderful days among the cold ones, They are like young daffodils seattered upon @ gar- den covered with snow. Suddenly there ws & trange, delicions softness in the air, the sun- ine is clearer golden, one lifts one’s face and looks, with tender hopefulness and forgetfal- ness of things of earth, into the bright, flowe: like lovely blue. Perhaps yesterday was we! and cold, but today it seems to be impossible to believe that cold and rain were not done with weeks ago, or that they can ever come again. One begins to think that the bands of grave which border the pavements and the trim banks and lawns before the houses are of a livelier green. Itis natural as one under the branches of the trees to look eagerly for little pale-colored things pushing out in tight buds. In March these days scattor themselves rather more thickly among the cold ones, and one has unduly sanguine moments when one would scarcely be snrprised by any unheard-of thing in the way of weather or growth. The tight little buds aro pushing everywhere, and some of them are visibly plumper every’ day.

The graduating class of cadets at the Naval Academy yesterday received their diplomas. Secretary of the Washington at 10 o'clock and was received by the board of visitors. A salute of great guns welcomed the Secretary as he touched land. Mr. Noah Brooks of Newark, N. J., delivered the oration to the cadets. His themes were Aiscipline, law, mercy to those under them, gentlemanly conduct, the proposed six years’ cruise of the Naval Academy, the gladness he felt that the graduates came on the scone at | health. the revival of the navy, the favorable compari- son of the United States navy with other navies and a God-speed to the graduates. Rain provented the usual outdoor proceed- ings, and Secretary Herbert presented the graduates their diplomas in the chapel. The tes were loudly cheered as they recetved ir sheepskins. At the conclusion cheers were given by the undergraduates on “those that leave us.” ‘Tho graduates returned this with cheers for “those we leave,” and all fol- lowed this by cheers for the board of visitors and the Secretary of the Navy. ‘The battalion, minus the graduates, marched up to the armory to the tune of ‘Ain't I Glad to Get Out of the Wilderness.” The board of visitors will make » number of recommendations in connection with the system of education. The most important and radical one will be that the six-year course as now con- ducted be abolished, and instead of sending the” cadets to sea in cruisor ships for two vears, at the end of four years at the academy, those probationary vears be spent together on’a ship cruising under the authority of the institution and its instructors.

There were so many April brides that there is likely to be a little shortage in the number this month, more’s the pity. It seems, too, to be an era of greater mplicity than we have been having for years back, and whether or not this wave of retrenchment or reform is welcomed is and great fuss and parade, and those who can do so might just as well keep the old fashion up. It will be all the same ten years from their wedding day. Miss Williamson and Mr. William Carvel Hall will be married tonight at 8t, John’s. On Thursday next at noon Miss Condit-Smith and Mr. Judson will be married in the pres- ence of s company sure to be a large one. Tho relatives of both bride and groom are largdly ‘New Yorkers and many of them will nt. ‘The ceremony will be accompanied by a full choral service. There will be eight ushers, all of them New York men, exept Mr. Van Neos Phillip of this city. Some of the others will be Mr. Camb Livingston, Mr. Havemyer, Mr. Williams and Mr. Condit-Smith, the bride's brother. The m's brother, Mr. William Francis Judson of Now York, will be best man. ‘Miss Grace Condit-Smith will be maid of honor. She will formally enter society next winter.

Last night Mr. and Mra, Whitelaw Ieid had the honor und pleasure of entertaining her at din- ner. If the rule wore broken a few more times it would be all the better for the memories she | is to take away with her of her American tour. It would seem as if the announcement of the marriage of Mixa Jeannette Halford to Mr. Benedict of New York was a little premature, as the relatives here of the bride-elect have not yet becn notified of the happy event. The ro- mantic story of the short acquaintance of the young couple is not quite right either. for they ve known each other for a year. The engage- ment, howover, became a fixed fact on the voy- age over to Europe and has been ratified ploas- anfly on all sides by their friends. Mr. Bene- dict will bring his bride back here at once and | their many friends tn this city will in all proba- bility have a chance to extend their personal congratulations. Mr. Benedict is arich man and the couple are very rospects for Miss Hai inv the rosiest.

MANY NATIONS, They AN Figure in s Chicken Polsoning Case Today. There was a carnival of nations held in Judge Miller's court today, when the alleged chicken Poisoning case was called for trial. The de- fendant in the case was a colored woman named Sarah. Gilday, while the prosecuting witness, a German named Michael Frank, was unable to speak English. Hop Wah, a China- maf, was also a witness in the case, and Officer William Riley, an Irishman, made the arrest. Fourth street northwest betwoon G and H streets is where the parties reside. ‘Pho colored woman has rooms over the Chinaman’s laundry and the prosecuting witnessis in business in the adjoining house. fe had some chickens in his yard and seven of them died.

His wife and daughter, however, gave the court the benefit of the fath knowledge and then the Chinaman was sworn. Mr. Pugh, who was in court, suggested that a chicken head thowld be ‘used on which to swear John, but Frank's chickens had been dead so long that one of them could not be procured. Mr. Mullowney was satisfied to have “John” sworn in the usual manucr, and the latter was not particular whether he had to kiss anything or not.

Potts of last year's college class writes from Mississippi: “I had first to educate the parents.” Save some of the best of the pupils, as the farmer saves his seed corn, for Howard University.
