Alexandria will start at the opening of the next season upon a career of prosperity which has opened to the town but once or twice since its existence. Besides the im- provements which are anticipated in the built-up portions of the town, there will be @ spurt on the suburbs in half a dozen directions, West End is improving more now than it has improved for sixty years before. The purchasers at the Smoot farm between the norti edge ot the town and St. Asaph junction will boom that section in such a way that Alexandria will cross its northern boundaries just as Washington has expanded beyond its boundary at Florida avenue. Improvements are also expected at each end of the river front, and on the south edge streets are to be opened to the full extent of the city. All these anticipa- tions promise that the year 184 will be as prosperous for Alexandria as was the year 1794, when, as the old inhabitants say, the population increased twenty-three per cent in one year. The Alexandria Sunday School Union held its regular meeting last night at Trin- ity M. E. Church. Mr. C. W. Millen, president, presided and addresses were de- livered by Rev. T. E. Carson of the M. E. Church South and Rev. W. H. McAlister of the M. E. Church, and others. A frame cabin on Wolfe street near Al- fred, occupied by a colored family named Scott, caught fire yesterday afternoon and the flames occasioned an alarm, which brought out the fire department. The fire was, however, extinguished by buckets and the engines did not go into service. Alexandria Council, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, has arranged for a visit on next Tuesday evening to American Council of the same order in Washington. The Alexandrians will leave here at 7 o'clock and return on the mid- night train. Frank Hume has sold to Robert Rives two acres of land opposite the county poor house for $100. The Southern Assembly, made up of Washington and Alexandria amateurs, practicing the opera of the ‘“Gondolier: Great Sachem Denning of Washington paid a visit to Osceola tribe of this city at its last meeting and delivered an address. — ROCKVILLE. In <he circuit court yesterday the grand jury made a report of their proceedings and were discharged. During their sessions they examined 118 witnesses and found 62 presentments and true bills, most of them being for violation of the local option law. A committee appointed by the jury to visit the jail reported that institution to be in a cleanly and comfortable condition, and the prisoners apparently well taken care of. They found in confinement sixteen colored males and one colored female, there being but one white male prisoner. They recom- mend the enlargement of that portion of the building used by the jailor and his family, and the removal of the furnace from the hall to the basement. A similar com- mittee, which visited the alms house and farm, reported them in good condition, hav- ing twenty-eight inmates—twelve white males and four white females, four colored males and eight colored females. The farm attached is reported to be in a high state of cultivation and the-stock in good condi- tion, with plenty of provender on hand for the winter. The jury also recommends te |£eme effective action on the part of those having charge of the court house in regard |to keeping the halls clean, and also in re- gard to additional safeguards to the grand room. Before adjourning a vote of was tendered by the members to man, Mr. John P. Sellman. ‘The third quarterly meeting of Rockville Circuit M. E.

Union Thanksgiving services will be held in the Christian Church, this town, on the gogh instant. The case of George W. Sensner against Edward and Edwin Baltzley, which had oc- cupied the attention of the circuit court for her age. two days, was closed yesterday. This suit was for the purpose of vacating a deed for a lot of land at Glen Echo purchased by the complainant of the defendants with the alleged understanding that adjacent to the property purchased, a large and costly hotel would be erected by defendants, that the streets adjoining would be paved and other costly improvements made, and that these promises failed to materialize. This case has been docketed for the past two years, the testimony in the same making about one thousand typewritten pages. Messrs. R. Ross Perry and Richard R. Beall of the District bar, and C. W. Pretty- man of this place, appeared for the com- plainant, and Anderson & Bouic, James B. Henderson and Leonard H. Poole, for the defendant.

Hagerstown has a smallpox scare, not because any cases exist here, but because @ neighboring town—Mechanicsburg, Pa.— has it in its midst. Precautionary measures are being taken by the home health board, and the public school trustees have ordered the vaccination of all pupils under a penal- ty of expulsion for a failure to comply with the mandate. As a consequence, phy- siclans are actively at work, and within the past few days several hundred children have been vaccinated. ‘The dreaded disease has not as yet crossed over Mason and Dixon's line, but the “powers that be” in Hagerstown have not been slow in recog- nizing the danger, and have acted with commendable promptness, Mr. J. T. Driver, formerly employed in the Interior Department at Washington, has moved, with his family, to Hagerstown, and taken up residence on East Antietam street. Cards are out for the marriage of Miss Elizabeth B. Schnebly and Mr. C. W. Dit- mer. The event will take place at Downs- ville, this @unty, on December 6. Dr. J.

Augustine Peter and George Brown, the peddlers, who were sentenced by Justice Hurley of Bladensburg to thirty days’ con- finement in the county jail in default of a fine of $25 each, imposed upon them for sell- ing goods without a license, have had their fines paid by friends and been released. The case of N. L. Chapell against David Dainty for the possession of a farm in Oxon Hill district belonging to the former was compromised before Justice Hurley in Bladensburg last Thursday by the plaintiff paying the sum of $75. A band of gypsies have been camping in the Spa woods for several da: The Rossburg Club gave ‘ts first ball of the season last night at the Maryland Agricultural College.

An Occasion of Great Joy to the People of the Eastern Church. supplemented a hi degree of dramatic power, both @ an and in action, is probably the impression of the man that was carried ence. His tall form, so full of action, to be confined in the rather cramp- ed space that lay between the feet of his clerical associates in the rear of the plat- form and the row of flowering and foliage plants that adorned the front. With a smail Bible in his hand he strode to the front, and, placing it on the reading desk, he at once began. “My text,” he said, in a voice as full as at any time during the discourse, “is Dan- jel, eleventh chapter and thirty-second verse: “The people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits.’ As the powerful voice of the preacher filled the house the attention of the great audience became fixed upon him. It was impossible not to give attention. The style, the man- ner, the entire delivery was so and original. He touched stirred the ation, he appealed to the judgment. His delivery is dramatic, and at times highly so. He not only described with words, but he represented action the theme. In his movement from one side of the platform to the other his stride suggested the one made famous by Henry Irving. He had, however, a message to deliver, and it was to carry that home to the hearts and minds of his hearers that all these varied gifts of the,preacher, orator and actor were employed. Three Great Expiotts. He began by describing the efforts of Antiochus, the old villain, as the preacher expressed it, in his efforts to subdue the Jews. He gave in detail the forces which he brought in his three successive advances and his final success. It is thought, he said, that great exploits were no longer possible, and as far as military exploits are ecneerned, he thanked God that the last cannon will soon be spiked and war will cease. In the field of invention and along the lines of business and professional life the chances of securing eminent success were not great. But he said there is open ———— FALLS CHURCH.

Dr. Talmage, the great Brooklyn preacher, or else the inter- est in the Eastern Presbyterian Church was the secret of the coming together of the large number of people who at tempted to attend the dedication serv- ices last evening of the fine church edi- fice just erected by that congregation. The hour for the services was fixed at 7:30, but by 6 o'clock the people began to gather about the church building. They stood pa- tiently awaiting an opportunity to enter, and endured the sharp blasts of the keen wind that swept across Stanton square and dashed around the corners of Maryland avenue and 6th street. The arrangements, however, had been made with so much skill that the great crowd was handled easily and effectively. Cards of invitation, issued to members of the denomination throughout the city, and others, gave admission to the Maryland avenue entrance. The members of the congregation and contributors were admitted at the basement door and given seats in the rear of the audience room and in the gallery. When all the guests had arrived, the general public was admitted and occupied all the seats remaining va- cant, and all the standing room. But when the audience room was filled, there was, all told, hardly a thousand peo- ple, while outside the waiting throngs numbered perhaps as many. Then the lec- ture room below was opened, and after all the space in that room had been taken, Dr. Talmage was brought down stairs while the service was in progress upstairs, and addressed the overfiow meeting. It Mrs. Nellie Webber entertained a few friends informally Thursday evening, and left Friday for a short visit to Miss Shell of Georgetown, Mr. Donald B. MacLeod, organist and director of St. Paul's Episcopal Church choir, with the members thereof, will per- ticipate in the 3 p. m. service in the new Trinity Chapel here on Sunday next, which will prove a most interesting addition thereto. No clue has yet been found to the thief who entered the barn of Mr. S, S. Shedd Wednesday evening, stealing from the room of his coachman, while the latter was milk- ing, several articles of clothing and a small amount of money. Indications point to some one familiar with the surroundings, as well as habits of owner, as the room, which adjoined one in which feed for stock was kept, was unlocked but a short time, and for the purpose of securing the nightly amount of feed. The Takoma Chorus, at its rehearsal on Thursday night, was complimented by its leader, Mr. Theo. Freibus, jr., upon the progress made in the six weeks of its ex- istence, and an impromptu rendition of Dudley Buck’s Te Deum, without notes cr words, simply from memory, elicited a round of applause from musical critics present. This chorus is arranging for the purchase of a piano, which will be on hand for the next rehearsal, Friday, December 1. Takoma was weil represented at the meet ings of the convention of the Columbia As- sociation of Baptist Churches at Calvary Church, some residents remaining in Wash- ington during the entire convention for the purpose of being present at all the sessions. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Webb anticipate re- turning to Takoma for the winter after the return of the latter from North Carolina, where she fs visiting relatives. The weekly meetings held from house to house for the purpose of sewing and pro- viding articles of clothing for the needy are non-sectarian in character, both as regards working and giving. The oyster supper given at the chapel last evening by the Ladies’ Aid Society was well attended. In consequence of the ex- treme cold and high wind the comfortable room and warm supper were well patron- ized, and the ladies in charge of tables, with their fair assistants, were kept busy. Miss Edyth Page was awarded the medal in the competitive flag drill by Judges S. S. Shedd, D. G. Purman and Bennett Cush- man, and Mr. J. B. Kinnear presented the following four boxes of Huyler’s candy, donated by Mr. Cushman, to the four su: cessful contestants, viz: Misses Maud Jim- merson, Bertie and Edyth Page and N. Mc- Pherson. A solo by Mrs. Geo. McManus and a banjo and mandolin duet by the Misses Danforth were received with ap- plause. He pictured a young man rested and on his way to jail. The district attorney might use his influence to give him another chance, the judge might in- tervene, the lawyer at the bar might take the case, although there is no fee in it. He described vividly such a man appearing in court without cou: poor pay for one. he ba: ed and in dull times went to the wall when he might have been saved by the timely in- tervention of his associates in business. But the old merchant, he exclaimed, buys up his goods at the sacrifice sale and puts them away for the next season and the case of the young man is dismissed with the comment: “Well, he had business to start on our block any way. Few Bad People. There are, said the preacher, very few bad people in the world, that is those who want to be such. As a rule, people are the victims of circumstances and if the cir- cumstances of some of us were the same he thought that our lives might be as bad. There are exigencies in the life of men and in the life of women when they need help and when a friendiy hand can save a hu- maa life. The greatness of such an achieve ment was set forth with all the power of the preacher. In speaking of women he to pay a tribute to the sex, which was one of the most eloquent parts of the sermon. His tribute to the wife and mother and her courage and resolution in times of stress was followed with breathless interest. A woman, he said, is a creature direct from God; a sacred and delicate gift, witk affections so vast chat nothing but the measuring line of the infinite God will tell ber bounds. “Geographers tell us,” he continued, “that the depths of the sea correspond to the heights of the mountains. So bad woman- hood is as far down as good womanhood is far up. It was a tremendous deed to save a woman's soul. There isn’t much mercy for the man who has gone astray. “Out with him,” cries society, and ‘Out with him,” cries the church. It is hard for a man to get back, and it is harder for a wo- man. There is more mercy in the fangs of a rattlesnake or the tooth of a hyena than there is mercy in society for has gone astray. But God thunders down the ages, ‘Come back,’ and Christ left a story of mercy on record when he said of the woman convicted in adultery, ‘Let him who is without sin cast the first stone at her.”” Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton. Was an off-hand talk, thoroughly character- istic of the great pulpit orator in its style, even if his manner was not as highly dra- matic as it usually is. It was a brief but an earnest Gospel address. He referred to the crowded room upstairs, so that it was not possible to admit any more, and then with this as a text he went on to say that there was room in heaven. If any one should tell him the number of persons there was in any place he could ¢ll the exact number that need help. The need is uni- versal. Christ is the great source of life and consolation in every circumstance. He spoke of the efficacy of prayer, and illus- trated his theme by one of those incidents dramatically told, of anguished parents heart-broken over a wandering son, and of the answer to earnest prayer and the re- turn of the loved one. He spoke of his hope of heaven and expressed the wish that they all might meet together there, even if they should never see each other again on earth. An Interesting Program. Dr. Talmage then returned to the upper room, where the program arranged for the occasion was being carried out. There wi an organ voluntary by Prof. H. J. Read, who officiated on this occasion, the regular organist of the church being Miss Mary Hunt. Under the direction of Mr. John A. Roeder a chorus of twenty-five voices, as- sisted by a quartet, consisting of Miss Edna Burgess Doe, soprano; Miss Eleanor Simonds, contralto; Fred. A. Grant, tenor, and Chas. F. Roberts, bass, rendered Buck's Te Deum. The fine music of this selection ‘was sung with good effect, and the rest of the musical program was equally satis- —__——_ BROOKLAND. A g00d representation of Brookland Lodge, No. 25, 1.0.0.F., paid a most en- joyable fraternal visit te Takoma Lodge, No. 24, of the same order. this week. En- tertaining speeches were made by Messrs. Quinn and Barton of Brookland and by a number of the members of Takoma Lodge. After the close of the regular exercises a fine collation was served for all at the Hotel Watkins. The result of the election of officers for the egsuing year by the Brookland auxil- jary of the W. C. T. U. was: Mrs. R. R. West, president; Mrs. W. B. Thomas, first vice president and chairman; Mrs. J.8. P. Greene, second vice president; Mrs. C. G. Lynch, third vice president; Mrs. G. B. Johnston, treasurer; Mrs. T. Y. Hull, cor- responding secretary; Mrs. J. W. Horner, recording secretary; Mrs. } B. Malone, superintendent of literature and Mrs. G. P. Schwier, evangelistic superintendent. A large delegation of members were present and an excelient meeting held. Hereafter the sessions of the union will be on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 3 p.m. in the lecture room of the Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Dolloway will ofticiate at the services of St. Clement’s P. i. Mission to- morrow, at a.im., and Miss Maud Porter will sing in the choir each Sunday for some time to come. Capt. Derby has the thanks of Brookland People for his promptness in recommending the best line for the proposed twelve-inch water main to supply Brookland and its neighbors. The proposed route will be across the government reservation from the corner of 6th and College streets to the corner of Linden and Trumbull streets. ee THE AMERICAN BUFFALO. The Merey of God. Men and women, he said, ought to be saved by the church and by the world, but they are not doing that kind of work. God's mercy is different from man’s, . You can always tell how far astray a man bas gone by the emphasis with which God calis him back. If it is hard for a man, ex- claimed the preacher, who has gone astray to get back, hew much harder it is for @ woman. Then, pausing, he spoke of a wo- man hanging on to the ledge of respecta- bility, and society, grinding with tron heel upon her fingers, loosening the hold. The savage heel was forcibly represented as the preacher ground his own heel upon the platform. Another exploit that was ready -|for the hands of all was the saving of @ child, and he stirred to alternate tears and laughter as he described the joys and sor- rows which children bring to the hearts of parents. The stars, he said, shall go out as sparks from an anvil, and the world wouid be blown away as chaff from the threshing floor by the breath of the Almighty, but the child shall live forever and ever and ever, We discuss what we shall do with the chil- dren of the street, but we hed better ask what they will do with us. They will come up in the future through the ballot box, and the land will go down in political end religious damnation. The eulpment, he said, to perform all these exploits is given in the text. Before closing his discourse Dr. Talmage referred to the occasion which had brought him to this city. He said that he congrat- ulated all who have labored for the con- struction of this church. “I rejoice with your pastor, Dr. Easton. We have wept to- gether, and I rejoice to be with him in his You have a man mighty in truth. 's of sorrow you will find him mighty in sympathy, and in the work of rescue you will find him powerful in the strength of the eternal Got.” Almost Extinct, but Some Specimens Still Survive.

He expressed confidence that this amount would be raised, and then he paus- ed for a moment, and, touching upon the salient points in the career of the church, he said that it was evident no mistake had been made, and he did not even except the choice of the contractor, Mr. N. Eckhardt, to whom he paid a high compliment. He said that the people in the northwest were willing to give dollar for dollar of any amount contributed by the people of Capitol Hill. ».
