He was the son of English parents residing in Charles- ton, 8S. C. His youth was passed in that city, when he was sent to London to ac- quire a commercial training, which, in after life, he profited by as a cotton mer- chant and in various business enterprises, in which he acquired a large fortune. He was active in the construction of railroads and for years was president of the largest railroad corporation in the state. During the war between the states reverses came to him and he lost much of his wealth. He then purchased the beautiful suburban resi- dence at Charlestown, built by Charles ‘Washington, brother of the general, known in his day as “Happy Retreat,” where, with his.family, he resided to the close of his life. Mr. Mitchell married Miss Fannie Bassett, daughter of George Washington Bassett of Hanover county, Va. Miss Bas- sett was the great granddaughter of Gen. Washington's only sister, Betty Lewis. In his business Mr. Mitchell crossed thé Atlantic more than forty times. He was a man of much culture and intelligence and a most agreeable companion. In Mr. Cleveland's first term Mr. Mitchell was chief of division in the sixth auditor’s office in the Treasury Department and will be long pleasantly remembered by those in that office. Being trained to business he was methodical and exact and had un- usual capacity in the transaction of busi- nets. His wife, four daughters and two sons survive him. Mr. Mitchell’s remains will be interred at Richmond, Va., by side of other members of the family. —_———_ Where Spanish Power Stops. Gen. Martinez de Campos, commander of the Spanish forces at Melilla, Morocco, has demanded of Muley Araaf, the sultan’s brother and envoy, that exemplary punish- ment be inflicted upon the Riffs who re- cently attempted to steal one of the Span- ish boats that got adrift in the river Del Oro. Muley Araaf has replied that any punishment that Gen. de Campos demands, except that of death, will be inflicted. With reference to capital punishment Muley Araaf says that the power to order that belongs to the sultan alone.

Dr. Faggeley has been appointed spiritual director of the American College at Rome to succeed Rev. Dr. Maldi. Rev.

HELPING NEIGHBORHOOD FOLKS. Novel Plans Adopted by Many Organizations. VISITING POOR FAMILIES. Many of the churches of the city are handling the problem of how to help the poor in this season of the greatest destitu- tion. ‘The parish of St. John’s Episcopal Church is one of the most extensive in its work and well organized in its giving of any in the city. In itself it is both a rich and a generous church, a convenient and hopeful combination, and provides money for the support of a great deal of outside work, both among the colored and the white peo- ple of the city. It supports the St. Mary’s Chapel on 2ist street, which is doing a great good in that section. In the school and kindergarten combined in this work colored children are taken in who have often been expelled from the public schools, and their families are helped so far as pos- sible from the poor fund In all the Episco- pal churches the collection on the first Sun- day of the month goes into this fund, un- less otherwise designated by the rector. The rectors will probably seldom exercise their prerogative in this respect for the rest of the winter. St. John’s Church also is supporting other branch missions, homes, hospitals and the, like. Cases from various sources which neither the rector nor his many assistants can investigate are usually referred to the Central Union Mission, which receives considerable support from the church. St. John’s has expended more money already to go toward the poor of the city than it did dll last winter. The New York Avenue Church. Another large work is that carried on by the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church through its two chapels, the Bethany, cor- ner of 13th and C streets northwest, and the Faith Chapel, on M street between 41-2 and 6th streets southwest. Both these chapels, which are supported by the New York Avenue Church, are located right in the midst of the poorer classes of the city, and Mr. Woodruff, the minister in charge, has his hands full all the time. The worx is not being slighted nor done superticiaily. Mr. Wooarufl nnds that the class witn which he has to deal is made up largely of carpenters and builders and the like, who, if they could only get work, would be all right. This, however, is the one thing which cannot be found. Mr. Woodruff has a corps of helpers to investigate cases and he finds that in many ways they can do the work better than men. He is himself an experienced hand and often finds coal or provisions hidden away by crawling under a bed or poking into some corner, when the house has been represented to be totally destitute of such articles by the claimants. In connection with this work is an industrial school, having an enrollment of almost three hun- Help is first. to the members of the church, to the parents of children in the school and lastly to cases of all sorts, the work being done more or less in co-operation with the As- sociated Charities. The money is almost all supplied by collections or donations from the mother church. The E; 'y Mission. Another extensive South Washington charity is that maintained by the Epiphany Episcopal Church in their mission at the corner of 12th and C streets southwest. Here the poorer classes are gathered in to the kindergarten and the various clubs kept up. Every house in the neighborhood has been visited and the small children are urged to come into the school, where the teaching is not denominational in any re- spect. The parents in needy cases have been helped so far as possible by the min- ister in charge, Rev. Albert N. Hilliker, and his assistants. Hamline’s Plan. The Hamline M. E. Church has taken on itself the care of the four squares sur- rounding it, or the section bounded by O, 10th, Q and 8th streets northwest. This section. has been ‘canvassed and the help there given is in charge of a special com- mittee, of which Mrs. H. A. Hall is the chairman. The money for this work is de- rived from the poor fund, for which a monthly collection is taken up, as in all the Methodist churches. The Sunday school will aid this year in the work by a change in the plan for their Christmas entertain- ment. Instead of receiving gifts them- selves, as formerly, they will each bring some present of a substantial kind for some poor child. The Congregationalists. The First Congregational Church, corner of 10th and G streets northwest, whose area of work is extensive, and whose field is limited only by the lack of money and sup- Plies, has appointed a special committee for the relief of the poor, which is doing very active work and looking into all cases brought to its attention. The committee has been distributing clothing, food and fuel sent in to it in the best manner pos- sible. It consists of the following members: John W. Browning, Fred. L. Fish! rome F. Johnson, Mrs. 8. M. Newman, Miss Alice H, Peabody, Mrs. A. 8. Caywood and H. M. Kintz, treasure! Dr. Hamlin’s Church. The Church of the Covenant (Presby- terian), although it has no dependent poor among its members, has many calls for aid from as many different sources. Dr. Ham- lin, the pastor, is in principle strongly against the giving of money. Fuel, food and clothing, evert if obtained on false pre- tenses, will be sure to do good, but the in- discriminate giving of money is with many a temptation to drink, and the surest way to bring any man to pauperism. The King’s Daughters of this church aid the pastor in looking up and providing for the destitute, while the church co-operates with and gets help from the Needlework Guild. Its sup- port is also going out in a large measure to the Peck Memorial Chapel in Georgetown, which is under its care. This is a part of the city which needs much help. The pas- tor of the Peck Memorial Church has either personally or through trusty helpers can- vassed the entire locality wherein his church is situated, extending over many squares, and he is alleviating distress wherever he can. His work is meeting with a generous response and large contributions from the Church of the Covenant. The Church of the Incarnation (Protes- tant Episcopal) is doing, through the pastor and circle of the Daughters of the King, a large amount of charitable work in the parish, although its labors are by no means confined to that. The regular monthly col- lections are used for this purpose. At the All Souls’ Unitarian Church, cor- ner of 14th and L streets, a body of young folks, known as the Lend a Hand Soctlety, is very active in raising funds for the poor just now, while the Twentieth Century Club {is also busy in the same way. The Parish Union has to do with examining into various cases, and the church ts alle- viating much distress, although there is no | 0 regular fund provided upon which to draw. Catholic Charities. ‘The Catholic churches are working this winter in their regular lines. Their vork is always divided thoroughly into parishes and is well systematized. The work of looking out for the poor is, a8 always, in the hands of the priests and the sisterhoods. A great deal is done through their schools, but, as a rule, the priests are familiar with the condi- tion of nearly every family in their parish- es and know their wants accordingly. There are an unusually large number of cases of poverty in the parish of the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, corner of llth and K northeast. In Other Churches. The Young Ladies’ Home Missionary soci- | To Be Built ety of the Foundry Methodist Church is raising a considerable sum of money for charitable purposes. Over $200 was cleared by them at a sale recently given at Mrs. Senator Teller’s. The money ts put in the hands of the stewards of the church to tide over members who are for the present down and to care for other cases which come to the attention of the church. church has also done much in the support of the deaconess’ work. it takes $250 a year to support a deaconess who lives at their home on North Capitol and L streets and goes about visiting the sick and min- istering unto the needy. The Assembly Presbyterian Church, cor- ner of Sth and I streets northwest, is for- tunate in having among its members a number interested or directly connected with the Central Union Mission, who are familiar with the poor and their needs, and what is | 34 and better, familiar with some of the impostors | build a and more or less conversant with their ways. The Sunday school of this church A PARISH HALL by Trinity Church Con- gregation. HOW THE FONDS WERE RAISED this | Plans of the Architect Who Will Construct the Buil ing. THE COMMITTEE IN CHARGE tee The Trinity Episcopal Church, corner of C streets northwest, is about to parish hall. The lot was bought some time ago, the money needed for the will, for their Christmas entertainment thir | rection of the hall has ‘since been raised, year, as they have done for several yeurs past, bring gifts and provisions for the poor. Each one coming will be required, as an ad- mittance fee, to bring an apple or a potato, These will be deposited in barrels and z:ven to the poor. Over $100 was made this way, estimating the value of the provisions, last year, and it is hoped that there will be a large advance this year. The Assembly Church does considerable work through the Associated Charities. The Luther Memorial Church is actively raising money for the work among the poor. At the Sunday school entertainment this year, as in some of the other churches, the young folks will give to the poor, instead of themselves receiving presents. At the Kel- ler Memorial Lutheran Church, on 14th street and Maryland avenue northeast, the same plan in regard to the Christmas enter- tainment will be pursued, although the chil- dren will be given some Iittle souvenirs or other on the occasion. The Associated Charities is made use of in ascertaining the fitness of cases brought to their notice to a large extent. Dr. Bagby, pastor of the Ninth Street Christian Church, has a novel and delicate way of giving aid to those in his church who need it, yet are too proud to either ask for or receive it in the ordinary way. He has whatever he thinks necessary delivered by an expressman, as if it had been snipped to them, and thus they are not aware of taking alms. The plan has worked exceed- ingly well so far, Dr. Bagby usually stand- ing by and watching the proceedings trom @ distance to see how things go. St. Paul’s English Lutheran Church, cor- ner of 11th and H streets, is doing an active work through the Associated Charities and the various societies of the church. The Ascension Protestant cpiscopal Church has a special relief committee, which acts on the same plan as the Associated Charities, attempting, so far as possible, to ascertain the condition of the poor and en- deavoring to furnish the women with sew- ing. The Wesley Methodist, the Central Meth- odist Protestant and, in fact, all the other churches of the city, large or small, are making special efforts to cope with the problem on their hands. DISAGREEABLY INAUGURATED. Premier Crispi Announces His Policy to the Italian Deputies. Notwithstanding the police precautions to guard against the admission of objection- able persons ‘to the galleries of the Italian chamber of deputies, it was fiot long after the opening yesterday that a man in the public gallery sprang to his feet, and ad- are a band of brigands.” He was at once placed under arrest and removed. The police say they believe the man to be an anarchist. After tne formal opening of the chamber, Signor Crispi, the new prime minister, pre- sented the members of the new cabinet to the house. The government would propose great economies. It was also necessary to im- Pose some sacrifices upon the country. The well-known Sicilian socialist, Signor de Felice Giuffrida, here shouted: “The tax- payers are unable to pay another sou.” Signor Crispi finished his speech amid signs of approval of his declaration that he hoped the government and parliament would be of one accord to vanquish domes- tie trouble and re-establish the foreign credit of the country. ——_+e-+___ MR. STEVENS REPLIES, He Contradicts the President’s Ac- count of His Oficial Conduct. Following is the reply of ex-Minister John L. Stevens to President Cleveland's state- ments regarding his official conduct at Honolulu: “The great reluctance of the conservative men of the country to remove the chief ex- ecutive for abuse of power seems to have encouraged President Cleveland to resort to the extraordinary measure of overturning the provisional government of Hawali,while as much as possible concealing his arbitrary design from the American Congress and the American people. Look at the historical facts dispassionately, and no one will Geny that the lines of usurpation and injustice on which President Cleveland and the Secre- tary of State have acted since the 7th of March last, coupled with the ex-parte, chamber course of Commisstoner Hlount rel- ative to the accepted testimony of Liliuo- kalani’s fallen corrupt ministers, are more sweeping und more hostile to Anglo-Saxon liberty than the acts of George LI] and the Lora North ministry,whtcr drove the Amer- ican colonies vo successful revolt. “There is nothing In American history that is more shameful in its scope of -njus- tice and tyranny than the attempt of Pres- ident Cleveland aud Secretary Gresham to crush out civil liberty and American inter- ests in Hawall by the threat to restore the extinct Hawaiian monarchy by force of arms, or by dipiomatic chicanery and pres- sure more infamous if possible than the use of ball and bayonet. Sven the atrocious attempt years ago to force the pro-slavery Leccmpton constitution on the people of | Kansas by federa! bayonets, which so sig- nally tailed of uccomplisnment, feeins di- minutive in contrast with the astounding Proposition and avowed purpose to over- turn the provisional government of Hawait, back of whicn stance that noble American coieny, and around which Is crystalized the iuterests of American Christian civilization jn that advanced end invaluable American outpost in the North Pacific. “President Cleveland's recent special mes- sage, in which he 80 severly criticises the course of the recent American minister at Honolulu, is but a feeble repetition of the superficial report of Commissioner Blount ana the statement of Secretary Gresham, previously published. “In my answer to Mr. Blount’s report, ex- tensively published in the United States, I showed conclusively, as Mr. ‘Thurston and other thoroughly responsible witnesses have shown, that the allegations in that report against the official conduct of Capt. Wiltse and myself are grossly untrue—are in mani- fest antagonism to all the reasonable prob- abilities, circumstances and logic of the sit- uation at Honolulu in January last. Presi- dent Cieveland’s grossly untrue and shame- fully unjust allegation against myself and the naval commander rests entirely on the statements of the four notoriously corrupt ministers of the fallen queen, of Wilson, the Tahitan half-white immoral favorite, and er thoroughly discredited testimony. “1 will not, in this paper, go over the con- clusively overwhelming testimony of all respectable men of the American colony, persons of the highest character for intelli- gence and integrity, who Knew and witness- ed the events when the Hawaiian monarchy fell, who contradict expressly the secretly collected testimony of Commissioner Blount. 1 only repeat here what has been amply verified again and again that neither by force, or threat of force, or by advice or action of mine, was of the mon- archy precipitated.” and now the plans are finished, so that the work can be commenced at any time. The building of this hall, besides being an important step in the history of the ‘Trinity P. E. Church, will be another straw showing how general the movement is be- coming of providing separate and conve- nient quarters for the Sunday school and church societies, instead of consigning them to a cramped and gloomy basement or mea- ger attic room. Many churches in this city have already awakened to the need of pro- tain some admirable features, and will | Probably be in advance of anything of its kind in the city. How the Money Was Raised. ‘When the church was built, years ago, it was planned for the Sunday school to oc- cupy the basement under the church. At that time it was sufficient for all purposes, but now the membership has grown to such | an extent that a larger, better lighted and better equipped building is an al cessity. So about ten years ago the enterprising members of the ch together for the purpose of devising and means to build the much needed hall.

On this story entrance will connect the hall with galleries of the church, as will another door connect the lower floor with the auditorium. A Gy jum Contemplated. In the basement the furnaces and jan- itor’s room will be located, while in the near future it is proposed to build and equip a gymnasium here. The latter will be of great service in bringing young men into the church, and marks something new and radical in church growth, there being the gymnasium of the First Presbyterian |Church. The structure will have a high roof of slate and tile, and will be lighted ornamental windows and skylights. At northwest corner a circular tower will rise = from the ground, making a very fine effect. The entire building when completed will cost about $20,000 and will be a great credit to the parish of the Trinity Church. At the the building Mr. William A. Meloy, the given above were appro pres Land it cided to go forw: construction of the new building at the earliest possible date. The Committee in Charge. The committee, consisting of representa- tive men of the church, who have decided on the plans and who will superintend the construction of the hall, is made up as follows: William A. Meloy, chairman; Theodore 0. Ebaugh, Henry A. Lockwood, Corbin Thompson and George Watts. They have been assisted by a committee of the Dorcas Society composed of its foliows: Mrs. William C. Coppinger, T. K. Sailer, Mrs. George Watts, Mrs. Vick~ ery and Miss Heiberger. —— BALMACEDA’S TREASURE.
