A Plea to Episcopalians for Division— Relations of the Church to the Fature Washington. The question of dividing the Maryland Protestant Episcopal diocese is being dis- cussed with much interest by both clergy and laity. One strong reason urged for the division is the growing importance of Wash- ington as a center for church activity. In the last issue of “The Maryland Churchman,” the official organ of the bish- op, a vigorous plea is made for division by Rev. A. R. Stuart. The article says: The growing demand for a fair and speedy division of the diocese of Maryland springs from a condition, not a theory. There will be no long delay in accomplishing a result so essential to the church’s advancement when it is clearly seen that the actual pres- ent necessity laid upon loyal churchmen does force them to be up and laboring to- gether for the establisment of the new dio- cese of Columbia or Washington. If our wise and strong men will only look around them they will see that the day has come when duty to the church of God and the American republic emphasizes the need for a mighty concentration of the church's power and consecrated activities at the nation’s capital. Washington has long ceased to be like some large scattered thinly-settled village, of loud promise and weak performance, looking to and leaning upon her more solid neighbor on the Patapsco and reflecting feebly the brighter prosperity of Baltimore. With the recent marvelous expafision of the two great cities, once so closely identi- fied in every way, there has followed a steady but very perceptible growing apart of the metropolis of Maryland and the seat of the federal government. No longer do we find the same community of interest or feeling or strength of sympathy binding them together which existed thirty or forty years ago. They are becoming more and more differentiated in the character of their inhabitants, in the tone and sentiment and general habits of their citizens, in their ruling motives, ideas and methods of busi- ness, and in the manifest destiny clearly awaiting them both. Baltimore is, even now, one of the lead- ing commercial centers of the country, a city of vast resources, manifold industries, commendable public spirit and decided prominence politically and ma‘ as the chief city of a great southern state. She may confidently aspire to equal if not sur- pass, in time, the energy, opulence and far- reaching influence of her more flourishing sisters of the north and west. A National City. Washington, on the other hand, with her notable diversity of population, num- bering now nea: 30v,000 souls has, unques- tionably a national prestige and ever in- creasing national, possibilities with conse- quent national accountabilities. In this respect she can have no rival, she can never be eclipsed, neither can her glory be given to another, nor can her pre-eminence in the eyes of the world be diminished as long as this imperial republic stands crowned with light and blessed ot God. Her greatness and her growth can only be limited by the greatness and growth of the most progress- ive if not the greatest of all great nations. From this time forward the measure of her exaltation must be the measure of our su- premacy as a free, enlightened and highly Iavozed people. She has become the peopie’s pride, the peoples representative or model municipality, the federal government is her muniticent patron, and, as she sits a queen on the banks of the Potomac, all the states with one consent claim her as their own, delight to sing her praises and pour into her lap their richest trivute, cheerfully rendered. Science, art and statesmanship, wisdom, power and beauty, knowledge, weaith and refinement are fast crowning Washington with a radiancy beyond compare,wasca ceu- ders her position not only commanding but unique. Here are gathered continually the leaders of men and lovers of liberty and light; here are clustering the homes of the savant, the statesman and the millionaire; here the author, the man of leisure, the sol- dier, the naval hero and the foreign am- bassador find a domicile and fo>m a com- genial society; here the ruler of the land re- sides, Congress assembles, and all the busy departments of a great government are cen- tered. Here are meeting year by year in increasing variety and numbers, visitors from every corner of the continent, from every country on the face of the globe, and countless popular assemblies, conventions and representative councils composed of men of all creeds, professions and national- ities. Every child in the land hopes, some- time, to visit Washington. Every foreigner who reaches our shores turns his face to- ward Washington. No American city is better known or more talked about abroad than Washington. Even in her present still incomplete and unfinished state, universal admi-ation is excited by her public buildings, her broad avenues, her palatial mansions, her noble monuments, her numberless and the vastness and richness of her public The Future Washingto: And when in the next century, judging the future by the past, these United States of America shall contain a population of 200,000,000, and a reasonably proportionate growth shall give to our capital a popula- tion of over a million, what human concep- tion can possibly overestimate the tran- scendent brightness and ascendancy which shall then distinguish Washington! Cosmo- politan in character, world-wide in out- reach, embracing nothing merely local or! narrow, but everything large and liberal, upholding ever, and advancing, the standard of the great cause of popular government and human freedom—who will forecast the plenitude of benediction or number the streams of mental, moral and spiritual help- fulness which shall fiow from her to enrich and fertilize the waste places of the earth? Rome when mistress of the world, regal Rome at the culmination of her power, in the golden age of her unexampled brilliancy and affluence, was not possessed of such ex- tensive influence as Washington will boast and exercise when, a century from now, the height of her grandeur as the busy and illustrious capital of the new world shall have been attained! The vision spiendid, so recently presented to the astonished gaze of mankind in the majestic, magnificent and most impressive spectacle of the “white city” on the shores of Lake Michigan, with all of its unparal- leled wonders, was but a prophetic fore- gleam of the permanent, abiding, incompar- able, almost inconceivable celebrity and dis- tinction awaiting the Washington of the future. That there is no extravagant overstate- ment in this prevision is proved by the fact that the daily increasing conspicuous im- portance of this great center for all control- ling ferces, large investments and uplifting educational agencies. is being fully recog- nized by the wide-awake, the statesmanlike, the discerning and the enterprising every- where within our borders. Others Already in the Field. The historic church, with her Divine con- stitution and laws and Apostolic ministry, the only church holding fast to the revealed unalterable standards of truth, may seem blind and slow in making the most of her opportunity at this vital and strategic point. But others are not idle, others are not asleep. The Roman ecclesiastical power is showing its proverbial sagacity in planting itself deeply and widely in its institutional strength on the receptive and responsive soil of the District of Columbia. Here has come to stay the papal delegate. Hefe the picturesque figure of his eminence the cardi- nal has become a familiar object. The Ital- jan church is sleepless and terribly in earn- est in her persevering effort to pre-occupy the ground and establish her entire coraplex system in our midst, with her convenis, ber crowded schools, her costly temples and her great university. The holy father imprison- ed in the Vatican doubtless dreams of the new Rome which is soon to lift high ber head in the western world, when old Rome shall have faded and crumJied as the throne of the papacy. The zealous Methodists, also, are bestir- ring themselves; they see the ing of the tide that must be taken at the flood. They have at least a million in sight with which to found their great national university. Never a year passes but we hear of some new philanthropic enterprise, some new so- cial or literary club, some new charitable foundation, some new school of art, or sci- ence, or religion looking or coming to Wash- ington to find a home and extend the work of human relief and enlightenment.” The writer then asserts the ucter tmpossi- bility of the overworked bishop of Maryland to give the time required to the iaying of strong foundations, the promoting of lofty policies and otherwise giving the attention required to upbuilding of the church at the tal of the nation. diocese of Maryland would still con- tinue powerful and influential; and the dio- with’ Seueay Wk: ee twenty parishes, two chapels, communicants, and forty-eight priests and deacons, even if it included its juris- diction no outlying territory . EY WILL BE MADE TO WORK. ‘Tramps Who Go to Chicago to Obtain Food. An alarming phase of the relief work which has been undertaken by the tity of Chicago has developed within the past for- ty-eight hours. Since the announcement was made that the destitute would be cared for the number o¢ unemployed and home- less men in the city has increased amaz- ingly. It seemed at first difficult to ac- count for the sudden accessions to the ranks of the hungry, but the reason was discovered yesterday, Observation at the various railroad de- pots end yards revealed the fact that every freight train which entered the city brought with it @ score or more of men who bad adopted this means of reaching relief head- quarters. As events are now progressing it looks as though Chicago were to be called upon to support not only her own hungry thousands, but the destitute of the it country and the neighboring cities and towns. How to deal with this situation is one of the most serious problems which confronts the relief organizations. When the order of caring for the homeless was first com- menced the police stations sufficed to pro- vide for all applicants. Then the number so increased that a few hundred were given shelter in the corridors of the city hall. From a few hundred this number increased rapidly to 1,500. Then the churches in va- rious parts of the city were thrown open, but there was no decrease in the number who crowded nightly to the city hall. Lodg- ings were established, but more peopie than | could be accommodated went there to sleep | and to get food. The city hall had again to be thrown open. Not until yesterday did the police venture an explanation of the increase. Inspector Ross stationed a detail of men in the yards of the Illinois Central Railroad Company to watch inccming freight trains. From the empty cars of every incoming train alight- ed a dozen to twenty men. They waited only to find where Wabash avenue was and started there for the place where food wasbeing given out. The same state of affairs was found to prevail in the yards of other railroads and last evening Inspector Ross reported to Chief of Police Brennan that hun of men were coming into the city every day and the arrivals in the ag- gregate would soon amount up into the thousands. The situation has become a grave one, and the authorities hardly know how to handle it. Chief Brennan says positively that this invasion of paupers must be stopped. How to stop it is the question. It has been suggested that officers be stationed on the line of every railroad at the city limits, to stop every man who is stealing a ride on the freight trains, and turn him back in the direction from which he came. Another solution of the question proposed by the committee acting on behalf of the city council ts that every able-bodied man to whom relief is given be compelled to work upon the streets, and thus make some return for what is done for him. This, it is thought, would result in keeping away from the city all who are unwilling to work, and would also weed out the undeserving. It is probable that this latter suggestion wih be acted upon. ————+e+—______ ENDED IN A TRAGEDY. The Love Affair of a Wild Young Man at Denve: A most tragic ending of a wayward boy and the probable death of a young girl at his hands took place in the private apart- ments of the principal actor in the tragedy at half-past 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon at Denver, Colo., and as the result of the quick work of a revolver the body of Ed- ward Handfield, jr., son of Edward Hand- field of Ashfield, Mass., lies in the morgue awaiting the orders of his bereaved parents; and Miss Ida Hall, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Mary Hall, keeper of a small restaurant, occupies a cot in a ward of the county hospital with a bullet wound Just over the heart. . The girl was able to tell her mother that she had called upon Handfield but a few minutes before to say that all was over be- tween them, when he seized a revolver, and before she could escape had sent a bullet into her breast and one into his head just above the right eye. The girl ran sereaming into the hall and he fell over on the bed, dying almost instantly. Handfield was about twenty-three years of age and was well educated. After fin- ishing his studies in the public schools at his home he was sent to the Jesult College in Montreal to be educated for the priest- hood. This was distasteful to him, and, get- ting into bad repute, he ran away, going to Denver last June. He plunged into dissipa- tion and rapidly went downward. His par- ents sent him considerable money, but he wasted it quickly. He hired out to a livery stable keeper and washed buggies. While at this work he flirted with Miss Hall, who sat in a window across the street. The mother objected to this acquaintance, but the young people were too madly in love to be separated. Last October Handfield was arrested and in- dicted upon the charges of forgery, burglary and larceny. Through the intervention of attorneys and by a letter from his parents he man- aged to secure bail last Monday, when he was released. Efforts were making to get the case dismissed upon promise of reform and a speedy return to his home in Massa- chusetts. His parents had been advised of his love affair and had told him that tr insisted upon marrying the girl they would take them both in and care well for the young couple. The girl's mother, however, was inclined to doubt the story, and demanded of her daughter to keep away from Handfield. The girl persisted, however, and yesterday at noon the mother issued her ultimatum, that the girl must choose at once between | the lover and her own home, whereupon the girl decided to go to Handfield and renounce him, the result of which action was the | tragedy. —_+-eo—____ RACE WITH AN AVALANCHE. A Monster Ice Glide Came Crashing Down Toward Him, From McClure’s Magazine. Let Mr. Tuckett himself describe that thrilling race for life. “I remember,” he writes, “being struck with the idea that it seemed as though, sure of its prey, it wished to play with us for a while, at one moment letting us im- agine chat we had gained upon it, and were getting beyond its line of fire, and the next, with mere wantonness of vindictive power, suddenly rolling on its right a vast volume of grinding blocks and whirling snow, as though to show it could outflank us at any moment if it choose. “Nearer and nearer it came, its front like a mighty wave about to break. Now it has traversed the whole width of the glacier above us, taking a somewhat diagonal direc- tion; and now—run, oh! run, if you ever did, for here it comes, straight at us, swift, deadly and implacabl The next instant we saw no more; a.wild confusion of whirl- | ing snow and fragments of ice—a frozen cloud—swept over us, entirely concealing us from one another, and still we were un- touched—at least I knew that I was—and still we ran. Another half second and the | mist had passed, and there lay the body of the monster, whose head was still careering away at lightning speed far below us, mo- tionless, rigid and harmless. “The danger was over, and the party ex- amined the avalanche at their leisure. It had a length of 3,300 feet, an average breadth of 8,000 feet and an average depth of 5 feet. This is to say, its bulk was 611,- 000 cubic yards, and its weight, on a mod- erate computation, about 450,000 tons.” —— oe eee David Moore’s Will Overthrown. In Circuit Court, division 2, Justice Brad- ley, yesterday, the case of David Moore et al. agt. Annie E. Barbour was given to the jury about 1 o'clock. This is an action in ejectment for a large amount of real estate left by the late David Moore, and the plaintiffs are the widow and children of his son, and the defendant is the daughter, who claims under the will of her father. intiffs attack the validity of the will, and case has been on trial for over two weeks, during which much testimony has been taken as to the condition of Mr. Moore. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, for whom Messrs. Worthington, Cole and J. A. Johnston appeared. Messrs, H. W. Garnett and C. Robinson appeared for the defendant.

The Old Engine Back in Her Quarters in She Came Through From Chicage Without a Break—Some of the Incidents of the Trip. As stated in The Star yesterday afternoon, the old “John Bull” engine that used to rum on the Camden and Amboy division in 1831, | and is now the oldest in the country, came sailing up to the 6th street station about 3:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was Probably the last run of this famous tron steed, which, compared to a modern engine that carries a limited express, is about as @ burro to a thoroughbred race horse. ‘The old engine has been on exhibition all Summer with the Pennsylvania railroad’s exhibit at the world’s fair, and will now re- ing, |each day.

A Continuous Ovation. All the way into the city the ride war continuous ovation from railroad farmers and tramps, all of whom stopped to wave their hats and cheer this relic of a bygone day. “Those on board much the same feeling as did those traveled last summer from Spain the Atlantic in the old caravels. When city limits were reached, and from t into the station, crowds lined the track cheered with the greatest interest. The train drew up on the 6th street siding by the station, and there she will remain for a few days, in all probability, before b returned to her old place in the Nation: Museum. After the train had disembarked her passengers Mr. Parke invited them into the cafe at the station, and here a few cold bottles were opened to drink the health of this famous old locomotive and to do her honor on the occasion of her last public ap- | Pearance. —_——— A PREDECESSOR OF GARNER. fi HF 5 An Old Frenchman Who Knew How to Talk to Monkeys. In 1857 Jules Richard had occasion to visit a sick friend In a hospital, where he made the acquaintance of an old official of the institution from the south of France, | who was exceedingly fond of animals, his |iove of them being equaled by his hatred of priests, writes Prof. E. Evans, in,the Popu- lar Science Monthly. He claimed also to be perfectly familiar with the languages of cats and dogs, and to speak the language of apes even better than the apes them- selves. Jules Richard received this state- | ment with an incredulous smile, whereupon |the old man, whose pride was evidently | touched by such skepticism, invited him to come the next morning to the soological garden. | “I met him at the appointed time and | place,” says Mr. Richani, “and we went | together to the monkeys’ cage, where he jleaned to the outer railing and began to utter a succession of guttural sounds which | alphabetical signs are scarcely adequate to | represent—‘Kirruuu, kirriktu, kirikiu’—re- peated with slight variations and differences | of accentuation. In a few minutes the whole |community of monkeys, a dozen in num- ber, assembled and sat in rows before him, |with their hands crossed in their laps of | resting on their knees, laughing, gesticulat- |ing and answering. | “The conversation continued for a full | quarter of an hour, to the intense delight jof the monkeys, who took a lively part tn |it. As their interlocutur was about to go away they all became intensely excited, climbing up the balustrade and uttering cries of lamentation; when he finally de- parted and disappeared more and more from their view, they ran up to the top of the cage, and, clinging to the frieze, made mo- tions as if they were bidding him good- bye. oo eee HOSPITAL IN FLAMES. Their Patients Have a Narrow Escape. Just before 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon fire was discovered in the attic of the Wo- men and Children’s Hospital, in the suburbs of Syracuse, N. ¥. The matron end inmates were notified, and there was great conster- nation among them. There were eight fe- male patients and seventeen babies, ranging from two months to two years of age, in the building. ‘There’ was much — in the arrival of the department, and there was no wa- Salis End cncest fren a brook, which was covered with ice. A passing street car ‘was stopped and the men aided in rescuing the inmates, who, by this time, were in great peril. The women were carried out as best they could be in their bedding and placed in neighboring houses. The babies were passed out of windows, and in some cases dropped from second-story windows. ‘The weather was bitter cold, and a great 4eal of suffering was the result. One wo- man was thought to be dying just before the fire was discovered, and was the last to be taken out. The excitement seemed to have a favorable effect, and she is now resting quietly.
