The monthly meeting of the Philosophical Sceiety was held yesterday afternoon at Columbian University, with Rev. Dr. J. Mc- Bride Serrett in the chair. “The Mechani- cal Theory of the Universe” was the title of a paper by Prof. Frank H. Bigelow of the weather bureau. He said that the his- tory of philosophy showed that man had been prone to see dualism in those things summarized as mind and matter. Some people had maintained, the speaker re- | marked, that this dualism was antagonistic | and others had held that it was harmonious. | There were two theories as to the creation jof the universe; one was the teleological | theory, and the second, cosmological evo- lution. Mind had been the origin of all things, else they could never have been | reduced to order. The progress of science was the broadening of the knowledge of matter. Astronomy, physics, chemistry land geology were proving its extent, in- tricacy, duration and minuteness. Elec- tricity and magntism were responsible for the introduction of a new aspect of matter. The concept of matter had to be divided in the ponderable and the imponderabie, and there was as much difference between these as there was thought to be between spirit and matter. Dr. W. T. Harris and Maj. F. W. Powell contributed a few re- marks bearing upon the matters touched in the theme discussed by Prof. Bigelow. —_——— The Smallwood School Entertainment . The pupils of the Smallwood School gave the second of a series of entertainments last night in the Jefferson School Hall. The en- tertainment was under the direction of Mr. S. E. Kramer, principal of the Smallwood School, and Mrs. M. M. Rose as musical di- rector. Mr. Raymond R. Riordon and Mr. Allen G. Smith also deserve especial men- tion for the manner in which they con- ducted the various drills. Mr. Kramer has the reputation of always gt his audi- ence their money’s worth, and last night’: program was not an exception. The Jeffer- son Hall was crowded to the very doors,and the spectators showed their ition of the numerous features by round and round of applause. The following attractions made up the program: “The clous Firme- ment,” by the Smallwood chorus; a vocai solo, by Miss Willma Willenbucher; a well- rendered Mother Goose diversion, mime by Mr. Frank Chapman of Marty: College fame, @ vocal solo by Mr. W. ese drill and dance, a banjo, guitar and piano selection by Miss Jessie Tabler and Messrs.

DR. CHESTE RESIGNATION. Formally Accepted by the Me- tropelitan Presbyterian Church. At @ special meeting of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church last night Dr. John Chester, the pastor, formally ten- dered his resignation. It had been known for some time that Dr. Chester was plan- ning to sever his relations with the congre- gation, but his action last night caused none the less regret. The reason he gave for taking this step was failing health, which increased with Dr. Chester's ad- vancing years, and the resignation tendered to the church presbytery last night Is to take effect in April next, thus rounding out thirty years of active work in the church. The history of the Metropolitan Presby- terian Church ts closely identified with Dr, Chester. The first congregation organized on Capitol Hill was in INé4, and it was then known as the Capitol Hill Church. The meeting of the thirty-four members Was at first held in a school house at the corner of 34 and A streets southeast. Here R John Chester was formally installed as pastor. ‘The foundations of the present handsome and substantial church were laid in 180, at which time the Capitol Hill Church w united with the Metropolitan Church. Th: Tresent building was not completed un Dr. Chester's resignation shape of a formal gation. After the reading of the letter an effort was made by some of the members ent to induce him to either put off the part- ing or else to accept either an assistaat in his work or the position of emeritus pastor It was stated, however, by those who knew him best that Dr. Chester's step had been taken after careful consideration and that it would not be a Kindness to oblige bith was in the letter to the congre- to reiter his wishes in the matter. The resignation was accordingly accepted with rerets, and three commissioners appointed » Tefer it with a favorable report to the presbytery. Dr. Bittinger, the moderator of the meeting, then addressed the congre- gation on their past tions to their pan. tor and their present position. — Good Templars’ Meeting. Liberty Lodge, No. & 1. O. G. T., met last evening in their hall, corner of 8th and I Streets southeast.
