St. Jol 's Choir Concert. ‘There was an enjoyable entertainment at St. John’s Parish Hall last night by the choir of St. John’s Church, assisted by ex- cellent local talent. The three numbers by the choir were well received and proved how carefully the members had been drilled by their director, Mr. Wm. H. Daniel. Rev. Mr. Bispham’s fine voice was heard to good advantage, and the popular Philharmonic artet, consisting of Misses McCullough, Craig, Simons and Stidham, fully sustained their high reputation. Besides these there were vocal and instrumental! selections, in which Masters Merryman Walker and Lee Jewett Cox, Misses Mazie Rose and Jessie ‘Tabler, and Messrs. 5. B. Clements, Perry B_ Turpin, H. FE. and W. S. Hinman and W. R. Mackrille participated, and recita- tions by Miss Beulah Gilbert. The accom- panists were Prof. John Theophil and Mrs. 5S. Oldberg. street Cabin ——.—— The Widow Found. The Austrian minister has been rewarded in his efforts to find the wife of Mr. Johann von Sipek, the man who died at the Emer- wency Hospital a few days ago, apparently trom violence. Yesterday he received a iet- ter from the man’s wife, whose former | name was Simpson. In her letter she says | that von Sipek, to whom she was married November 2, left Chicago the day following | for his home in Europe to settle up an estate, preparatory to making his future | home in that city. She also states in the | letter that her husband had over $800 on | his person when he left Chicago, and asks | the representative from Austria to give the body respectable burial and forward all his | effects to her. ———— Religious Life in India. Protap Chunder Mozoomdar of Calcutta, leader of the Brahmo Somaf, or Divine / Society of India, will speak at All Souls’ Church on Friday evening, November 24, | at 8 o'clock, on “Religious and Social Life in India.” Mr. Mozoomdar was one of the | leading speakers at the Chicago parliament | gf religions. Since then he has been giving | # course of Lowell lectures in Boston, which | he was invited to repeat because of the throngs desiring to hear him. In October, ten years ago, he spoke in All Souls’ Church and was remarkable for his eloquence. —— The American Legion of Honor.

Tomorrow night will be a memorable one for the Presbyterians of Capitol Hill, for at half-past 7 o'clock the Eastern Presby- terian Church will dedicate their beautiful new stone edifice on the corner of Mary- land avenue, 6th and € streets northeast, fronting on Stanton Square and looking down Massachusetts avenue to the west- ward. It will not orly be a great occa- sion for Capitol Hill, but it will be an- other stride forward in the growth of the Presbyterian denomination in this city and a time of zeneral gratification and re- joicing, marking as it does the results of a struggle of over twenty years to firmly establish a church of that faith in North- east Washington. The ngw structure, as it stands, superbly situated on the highest point in that section of the city, is with- out doubt the finest Protestant church on Capitol Hill, one of only two Presbyterian churches in East Washington, and the only church of that denomination in the north- east. Interesting Dedication Program. The dedication exercises will be unusually interesting from th? fact that not only numerous well-known local preachers will be present, but that T. DeWitt Talmage, the famous Brooklyn divine, will be here and deliver the sermon for the evening. The complete program for the dedication is as follows: 1. Organ voluntary. 2. Te Deum. 3.

The Eastern Presbyterian Church has an interesting history, which dates back over @ period of more than twenty years. In the spring of 1871 an unusual activity was manifested in the Fourth Presbyterian Church in the mission work of Washington, and a committee was appointed to canvass | the city and report on vicinities which | were without churches or missions. The committee reported that the northeast was totally without Protestant influences for twelve squares east and west and as many | north and south, and accordingly a mission | was established in the home of Mr. Hughes on H street between 9th and 10th streets | northeast, with the following ofticers: F. | c. Cate, superintendent; R. H. T. Leipold, . Hymn 986, Q assistant superintendent. and B. H. War- ner, secretary and treasurer. ‘The mission was soon moved to larger quarters and, after over a year’s successful work, it was decided to build a regular structure. In this movement all the denominations united and Union chapel was built on Sth street | between F and G streets northeast. Dr. Joseph Kelly, now the pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church. but then a student at Princeton, was .engaged to preach every other Sunday, the church paying his trav- eling expenses back and forth. He preached | his first sermon in July, 1872. and regularly | supplied the pulpit of the new chapel even after he was appointed assistant pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church. until 1875. The Congregation Organized. A little before this time the Episcopalians had separated from the chapel to establish work of their own. and so in this year the Presbyterians took their decisive step, asked to be dismissed from the Fourth Presby terian Church, and organized themselves as the Eastern Presbyterian Church on May 19, 1875, with a membership of twenty- six persons. Dr. George 1. Patch was reg- ularly installed as pastor on November 1 of to worship in the old structure. | After about eight vears of faithful service, | however, Dr. Patch resigned to start a mis- sion in’ the northwest. which has since | grown into the Gunton-Temple Memorial | Church, the magnificent edifice of which | was dedicated a couple of weeks ago. He was followed by Rev. 8. Wallen, who re- signed within a year and was succeeded by the Rev. Eugene Peck. a most energetle worker and the one who was foremost in or- ganizing the Presbyterian Alliance between the churches of that denomination here in | the city. He was most unfortunately killed on the Baltimore and Ohio road. after not more than five years of service, and his loss was mourned by all. Rev. Dr. Cornelius’ Work. Rev. T. K. Noble, D. D., acted as a sup- ply for a short time, until April, 1s Rev. Maxwell Cornelius, D. D., was called to the pastorate. All this time the church had been growing, and now a new era of prosperity began. Through his tireless ef- forts the new church building was com- menced and the lot presented by the Pres- byterian Alliance to the congregation, Work was immediately commenced on the present ite and the corner stone was laid with im- posing ceremonies on April 16, 180 Only a year later Dr. Cornelius was stricken down in the midst of his work and died on the 3st of last March. The peculiar crisis demanded an immedi- ate selection of a pastor, and Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton was chosen, who, even in this short time, has proved his worth and has endeared himself to the hearts of his entire congregation. The New Building. The present church, the outcome of so much work and sacrifice, {s a fitting result of so much labor and a monument to those who have lent their aid. The edifice is im- posing, built of Potomac blue stone, with Ohio sandstone trimmings, Its high, round tower may be seen from far down Massa- and the entire church is from many points in the city.

E. Harvey. There is also a Christian En- deavor Society, junior and senior, a Ladies’ Aid Society, a Ladies’ Praying Circle and what is known as the Century Club. The Church Officers, The elders of the church are Dr. W. D. Hughes, Dr. H. A. Dobson, John Chandler and R. E. Harvey. The deacons are E. Q. Gunson and C, S. McLaughlin. The trustees, Joseph C. Kauffman, president; August O. Bostrom, secretary; Jay B. Smith, treasurer; J. H. Crandell, R. W. Blair, Charles W. Sparks, William Boyd, Carl A. Johnson and John P. Shearer. The building committee consists of Jay B. Smith, Marshail W. Wines, A. O. Bostrom, Joseph C. Kauffman and R. W. Blair, The church now completed at so great a cost, it remains with the people to raise the large debt thus incurred. The old strueture on Sth street is in possession of the Seventh Day Adventists. The crowds which will gather at the church tomorrow will be immense, no doubt, and all will do well to note’ the rules concerning admission, which will be strictly observed. A portion of the church vill be reserved for invited guests, who wil! be admitted through the pastor's study, on the Maryland avenue side, between the hours of 7 and 7:30, Contributors, as shown by the financial statement of the secretary, will be admitted to the lecture room at 6: at which time they will be seated in the rear of the invited guests, The doors will then be open to the public urtil the church is filled. OLOGICAL TALK. GE Experts Last Night Tell of Many In- teresting Discoveries, The Geological Society met last night at the Cosmos Club, with President C. B. Walcott in the chair. Secretary Cross read ; the minutes of the preceding meeting and! theywere approved. In conformity to the custom of the society,the first half hour was devoted to brief informal talks. Prof. Hillebrand made a plea for more thorough analysis of rock, that all its properties, ex- isting no matter in how small percentage, might be accurately determined. Perhaps the system of analysis current might be all that is now needed, but we owed it as a duty to ourselves to lighten the tasks of posterity. Although the necessity for ab- solutely accurate analysis is not so much felt now, the time was approaching when it would be essential in solving certain deli- cate problems. Incomplete analyses were often misleading. Prof. Hillebrand chalked on the blackboard the comparative analyses of certain specimens of rock, the one a cur- rently accepted analysis and the other a complete analysis. Several discrepancies were revealed. Prof. G. P. Gilbert told of his discovery of a base level bed at the foothills of the Rocky mountains south of Canon City, and at the base of Greenhorn mountain, It was interesting by’ reason of its great antiquity. He illustrated his re- marks with chalk. There were two formal papers, one by Prof. S. F. Emmons from notes taken on the geology of Lower Cali- fornia while he was visiting the onyx beds on that peninsula. He told of the popular ignorance concerning Lower Caltfornia. It Was a country difficult of access, and very sparsely inhabited. The northern part, weil up against our line, was wooded, bit to the south the land became practically a desert. The south end was rich in minerals, and mining was carried on quite extensively by foreign companies. He dwelt at; length on the topographical features of the region. Prof. Merrill then talked informally of his 1 | i | trip through the same country. and Prof. { Diller joined in the discussion. Prof. R. T. Hill read a paper on the’ southwestern extension of the Comanche series. He told of how the manifestation | of this phenomena had first attracted him! in the wilds of the woolly west,and had led him to the study of his chosen science; then of how he had traced the Comanche series down through Central America and as fa? south as Ecuador, thence to the eastward to Venezuela, and how it showed itself, through the West Indies. Prof. Clark of | Johns Hopkins asked some questions, and Prof. Diller also spoke. Profs. Ciark and Williams of Johns Hop- kins were present with their classes in geology. inal cients Jack the Slasher. To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is said that there is “but a step be- tween the sublime and the ridiculous.” In regard to the “Slasher” scare it might well be added that there is only a step between the mischievous and the ludicrous. A vul- gar combination of the sneak thief and hazer has been making a few scattering calls in the rural vicinity of Washington, pilfering some articles of slight value in the lower rooms of the houses visited and wantonly cutting up some carpets or wear- ing apparel and leaving a snail's track be- hind him by smearing the furniture with grease; but committing no act of violence to any of the sleeping inmates. although very much at the mercy of the urbidden visitor. Such is the groundwork of the scare that has seized thousands of our sen- sible citizens—especially the lady portion— causing them to retire to their bed rooms at night with “fear and trembling,” as if they were going to expire of heart trouble before the “Slasher’’ could have a chance to make a nocturnal call. Let us by all means seek to avoid rush- ing ourselves into the ghastly condition of “death’s head and cross bones’’ before our time; for, after all. life is sweet, even if, like Continental Americans. we are taxed beyond endurance without representation. Let us pluck up courage and live, remem- bering that here in the capital city we are | upwards of 200,000 strong and that if the | “Slasher” did his “level best’ he could not get around to us all in a night, even to} shove his card under our front door. Let} the police catch the thief if they can with- out shooting harmless citizens in the at- tempt; but let us not forget that. even with the silly “Slasher” performances thrown in, the burglaries in the District this fall have no abnormal development. In short, we have, after all, a very quiet and respectable city and are very far from being denizens | of the frontiers of the “wild west” with the Indian war whoop and scalping knife in | dangerous proximity. Of course we ought to take proper precautions before retiring by locking our doors and fastening our win- | dows, but these done, let us go “sound asleep” feeling assured that a good Provi-} dence will watch over us during the silent | hours of our restful unconsciousness. But by no means let us lo: yur heads in con~ juring up from the “vasty deep” of our fer- tile imaginations spectral visits from “Jack the Slasher.” CITIZEN, ——— Supplies for the Poor. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The winter promises to be a hard one; for the poor. It is important that they; should be helped, as far as possible, with- out pauperizing them. Something can be done in this direction by enabling them to obtain their supplies at low prices. Com- pelled to buy coal, for example, in small quantities, they now pay for it, if we are correctiy informed, at the rate of $12 to $15 a ton, or from two to three times as much as it costs the rich, Could any char- ity be devised better or wiser or more ur- gent than some plan by which they could secure their fuel at more reasonable rates, say by the establishment of depots of sup- ply at the police stations through the city or at other points? Possibly the coal merchants themselves, in the stress that is pretty sure to be upon us, might arrange to meet the necessities of the case at a slight additional cost. Similar suggestions would be in place in regard to grocery and market supplies. Far better than out and out gifts (there will be plenty of these called for) will be | some arrangement by which the worthy | poor can purchase their own supplies at| the lowest possible rates. Only those who come in contact with this class—I mean | the thoroughly deserving poor n under- stand them th and distress already the anxieties many of | which they er.

Mr. Parker Elected President of the Association—Dr. Welling Makes an Address — Those Present. The spacious building of the Columbian University, at the corner of 15th and H streets, was last evening taken possession of by the alumni association of the uni- versity, the occasion being the seventh annual meeting of the association. This regular meeting was held in the lecture hall of the building, and was mainly for the purpose of electing officers of the as- sociation for the ensuing year. Upon the conclusion of this meeting an exceedingly Pleasing reunion was held, which was participated in by the members of the association and their friends to the number of several hundred. Refreshments were served and several hours spent in con- versation. . br. A. &. A, King, the president of the association, called the meeting to order and congratulated the members upon the Jarge number present and upon the very flourishing condition of the association. He then called upon Secretary H. L. Hodg- kins and ‘Treasurer John B. Larner to read their annual reports, the reports showing the association to be in a very healthy condition, ‘The association then proceeded to an elec- tion of officers, Mr. W. B. King expiaining that the policy of the association was to favor a rotation of the office between the different schools of the university. It had become the turn of the law school, and as @ most distinguished representative of that school and also of the District he would nominate District Commissioner Myron M. Parker. The nomination was greeted with applause and the secretary was directed | to cast the unanimous vote of the asso- clation for Mr. Parker. The newly elected | president was escorted to the chair by ex-President B. H. Warner and Dr. J. Wes- ley Bovee and briefly returned his thanks for the honor conferred upon him. Dr. Wm. P. Carr was then elected first vice president and Prof. C. A. Davis second Nice president, Secretary Hodgkins and / being re-elected to their | respective positions.Upon the motion of Mr. .

He said that he had very little voice, but he would always have enough to speak to the alumni asso- ciation. He was delighted to be able to state that the university had never been in a more successful condition. Its faculty | pirates 130 professors and teachers and Bpward of 80 students w.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I think every reader of your paper must have been filled with indignation and pain over the shooting down of an inoffensive and helpless man on the suspicion that he might be a thief. Is there any limit whatever to the slightness of the reasons for the use of a policeman’s pistol? If a man is detected in the commission of a crime and resists the officer or if a con- vieted culprit attempts to escape from law- ful custody or if the officer's life is endan- gered there may be a reason for his use of the weapon with which the law arms him. But here is a man on his way to his daily work, who is halted by two men in citi- zen’s attire—a circumstance which might alarm any one, and, suspecting them to be two of the “night doctors” of whom his race is im such terrer, he runs from them, He has committed no crime; he is not even suspected of one. But because he| will not stop for men whom he suspects | much more than they do him the poor fel-| —yj jow is cruelly shot down and his harmiess | life is probably ended. It is to be hoped that the law will sternly interpose in this case and settle the fact that human life is of too much value to be taken with such careless lightness. Let every guilty man be sternly punished, without the interposi-} tion of the mawkish sentimentality that) saves so many scoundrels from their just | deserts, but let it be decreed that a man) against whom there is not even a suspicion, shall be safe from pistol balls, even tf he} commits the heinous offense of refusing to e call of an ununiformed police- a ne - CITIZEN.

The largest halls have been filled and in New York the c: pacity of Madison Square Garden was even tested.
