IN THE CHURCHES Notwithstanding the large colored popu- jation of this city, Washington has only one coiored Catholic church, namely, St. Augustine's, on 15th street near M etreet northwest. Within another two months, however, there will be two colored Catholic churches in the city. The new one is St. Cyprian’s Church, at the corner of 13th and C street southeast, not far from Lin- colm Park. The church stands almost alone, with vacant lots and an occasional shanty as near neighbors, but in itself it is a fine-looking structure, built of stone and commodious. The exterior of the church is now all finished, excepting a little work yet to be done on the steeple. The interior will shortly be ready also. The date of dedication is set for May 27, when Cardinal Gibbons will officiate,and a number of other Prominent churchmen will be present. The membership of tle church is estimated at about 1,600 or 1,900 persons, with a Sunday school of 300 or 400 in number. It has al- ways been the rule that all colored Catho- Mes of the city, except im one or two par- ishes, should, no matter where they lived, send to St. Augustine's Church for a priest for sickness or other reasons, when reeded, except in very urgent cases. Thia, of course, has been quite inconvenient, and often caused trouble, which the mainten- ance of a church im another part of the city will obviate, in no small degree. The parish of St. Cyprian’s Church will be a large one and will include all of Southeast Washington, and all of Northeast Wash- ington, as far north as G street. The seat- ing capacity of the new church is reckon- ed at about 600. Efforts are now being made to fill the pul- | ts of the Metropolitan and Sixth Presby- Churches, from which Dr. John Chester and Dr. Scott F. Hersney, tively, have withdrawn. ‘The Sixth burch will take immediate steps to secure ther pastor, and have already appointed Henry Thompson and Mr. James B. Henderson as a committee to do the pre- Uminary work in the selection of a minis- | ter. There is no one in view yet, but the Matter will be taken right up, and the church will make a choice as soon as sible. They expect to have a pastor within four weeks. Dr. Hershey will preach his farewell sermon to the congregation tomor- Tow and will shortly start for Boston,where | he goes to take charge of the Columous Avenue Church of that city. The Metropolitan Presbvterian Church have likewise appointed a committee to seek for another pastor, but the committee has, &@8 yet, not gotten fairly to work. The com- mittee corsists of Mr. S. D. Luckett, chair- Man, and Mr. Henry K. Simpson, represent- ing the elders; A. C. Frost and David Mc- Gowan, representing the trustees, and John Travis, representing the congregation at lagge. Dr. Chester has accepted the posi- tion of assistant manager of the branch cf | the Equitable Life Assurance Company of New York in this city. He will, within a y or 30, move from his home on Capitol Hill up into the northwest part of the city. His new home will be at 1712 Oregon ave- Rue northwest.

The delegate return of the present pastor, Rev. 9. J. | Smith. Boards of trustees and stewards | were also elected. The transfer of Father William T. Russell from the —- of St. Jerome’s Roman Catholic Church of Alexandria to the posi- tion of private secretary to Cardinal Gib- bons in the cathedral at Baltimore is now regarded as an absolute certainty. Who will be Father Russeli’s successor is not positively known, but it is thought that Father Wolfe will be given charge of the | chureh. | The Grace Baptist Church, corner of southeast, have chosen @ new pastor. The new man is Rev. A. Anderson. The church, which is not m than about | three years old, has been without a pastor since the resignation of Rev. James D. Smith last fall. Since then various persons have been filling the pulpit of the church, mong them M->. Anderson, who has been there on the average about twice a month during the winter, and is highly thought of by the congregation. They have, accord- ingly, extended the call to him, and al- though he has not yet been heard from, it |is felt certain that he will accept. Mr. Andersen {s a single man, and a student at Bucknell University at Lewisburg, Pa., from which he graduates this coming sum- mer. He is twenty-seven years of age. and, although he has never had charge of any church before, he has filled pulpits for brief periods at different places. He is described as a fine speaker, an able thinker, and a most pleasant and kindly man per- sonally. If he decides to take the position offered him, he will commence his pastor- ate with the beginning of June. About fifty converts huve been brought into the Second Baptist Church, corner of | Virginia avenue and 4th street southeast, | Since the occupation of the new building, and the work is constantly going on | through the efforts of the pastor, Rev. E. Hez Swem. The meetings for young people on Tuesday and Sunday nights have also been developing great interest and doing much good. Rev. Hugh Johnson, the pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Church, corner of 4 1-2 and C streets northwest, was sudden- ly called away from the city during the week, om account of the death of his mother, but has now returned again. At the Ninth Street Christian Church to- morrow the third anniversary of that or- ganization will be celebrated. Rev. B. B. Bagby, pastor, will preach at 11 a. m., and a large number of new members will be re- ceived into the church after the sermon. Just three years ago the church was dedi- cated, and started with sixty members, mostly from the mother church, Vermont Avenue Christian. It now has a member- ship of about 450. Fifty-five new members is the result of the two weeks’ meetings, which have just closed, under Evangelist W. J. Cocke. —_>+—_—__ Read fifteenth page of this paper.—Advt. | was unanimously instructed to ask for the | South Carolina avenue and 9th_ streets} IN HOTEL CORRIDORS A gentleman hurried into the writing room at La Normandie yesterday morning and, sitting down, placed his umbrelle at the side of his chair. Taking his key chain from his pocket he attached it to the rain shedder by a small catch, Then he began to scratch away at his correspondence. An occupant of the room had been very much interested in the novel means the stranger had taken to secure his umbrella and re- marked upon it. “Yes, I know it looks funny to see a man lock himself to an umbrella,” said the new- comer, “but I adopted the scheme a long time ago. I'm a commercial traveler and always carry an umbrella wherever I go. After I had lost countless dozens of them by leaving them in places, I visited my wife, who gave me a very handsome one and at the same time bet me a watch against a pair of earrings that I'd lose it in sixty ) days. I took her up and the very next day left the chute in Hilton & Co.’s store in New York. Luckily, I recovered it the same day, and then the idea struck me | that I would win that watch by fastening my key chain to the article whenever I sat means to my hat or coat when I was obliged to leave it. I won the watch and have saved lots of money by reason of the umbrellas I have not been compelled to buy since I adopted the scheme. It is the only system I know of by which an absent-mind- ed or preoccupied man in my profession can keep an umbrella twenty-four hours.” “Novelty in advertising in the west runs or the business generally that may be carried on about the premises,” said Al- bert Turner of Terre Haute at the Riggs House yesterday. “Nearly every laundry, for instance, has its collar and cuff polish- | ing machines set up and in full operation in the show windows and other lines of busi- ness adopt similarly attractive object les- sons to draw custom. “In Cincinnati the other day, however, I came across a crowd that was banked up in front of a shoe store on Sth street. In the | window was a shoe stitching machine at | work. It was complete in every particular | and was run by electricity. The workman jin charge of it was apparently an expert, |for he turned out a pair of shoes about every two minutes. I stood there and | watched a dozen pairs of shoes in patent and , other Kinds of leather and of different styles made in one window and instantly displayed for sale in the next. I teli you, | that is getting practical advertising down to a fine point.” “The most surprising things to me in this country are the farms in the hilly portions | of the east and south,” said Horace T. Har- ris, an English agriculturist, at the Arling- ton. “What I mean ts the way the farmers till fields full of rocks and stones. I have Just seen hundreds of acres upon which the grain is coming up in profusion whose sur- | face is covered with boulders from the size of an egg to the size of your hat. I can’t understand such a state of affairs at all. If I had a field like the ones I allude to on .| my estate in England and should sow it in | grain before removing every discernible | stone from it beforehand, my neighbors would think I had gone daft. Yet I am told that the harvest gathered from such fields in this country is very plenteous and profit- able. If this is so, it is certainly a very reprehensible policy that allows the rocks to cover so much ground upon which grain would grow and thus make the harvest com- mensurately greater. Some of your re- formers who seem to be so willing to reform and turn upside down all your other sys- tems should start a crusade for clean fields among the farmers. Why, I have seen fields under cultivation that could almost be fenc- ed in if the stones on their were piled up around them.” “The south and west trade congress that is going to meet in my town next month will be a good deal more important than most people imagine,” said Richard Sewell of Wichita, Kan., at the St. James. “Its chief object will be to facilitate the ap- proach of closer business relations between down anywhere and fastening it by other | to the practical illustration of manufactures | the west and south and to attract to south- ern ports for shipment the western products, and especially grain intended for ‘oreign export. Kensas wheat, for instance, now goes 1,700 miles by rail to New York, and it can southern ports, like Savannah, for instance, with much less of a trip and not as much cost. She has waked up to the fact, and so have other western states, that with the growing success of the southern direct tri less time and for less money. The Wichita congress will consider all questions bearing upon the general subjects I've mentioned, and it will bear watching that will prove interesting.” “There has never been such a mayoralty contest anywhere as that which is now go- ing on in Cincinnati,” said Ed. B. Webster of the Paris of America at the National last night. “There are three tickets in the field and every man in town is a working poll- ticlan, for the time being, for the success of one or the other. Congressman John A. Caldwell is the republican candidate, Isaac J. Miller was nominated by the democrats, and Theodore Horstman represents the citi- zens’ movement, which is the result of a widespread desire on the part of the better classes in Cincinnati to have decent men appointed to the minor offices in the city, a | wise expenditure of the munictpality’s money j and a clean and honest administration of | affairs generally. The registration has l-een remarkably large, over 71,000 voters having recorded their names. Everything looked favorable for Judge Caldwell’s election until a few days ago, but a tremendous tide has set in in favor of Mr. Horstman, and his election next Monday would not be at all surprising. Miller has no chance in -the world. There are two other candidates also in the field, Grover and Iliff, but they won't count. An illustration of how Horstman’s chances have improved may be found in the odds in Covington pools, which were 4 to 1 against him last week and are now 8 to 2. Caldwell’s odds, however, are still 1 to 2." ———— Read fifteenth page of this paper.—Advt_ ee Thousands Fled the City.

Almost every artist in the District will be repre- sented by one or more paintings, and the subjects range from a bit of seacoast and sky to the most ambitious portraits, figures received from American artists who are abroad, but still wish to be represented in the home exhibitions. Difficult as it is to form a definite opinion of the paintings, in their present disordered arrangement, it is safe to predict that when the exhibition opens, on the 9th of April, an array of «an- vases will be shown which would do credit to any city. One rather striking peculiarity of our American artists is the total lack of uniformity in the style of handling their pigments. To any one at all familiar with the different hools of art, the German, French, English or Italian method can be detected at a glance in the canvases of their various national brush wielders. With us | each artist is a law unto himself, each hav- ing his own peculiar style, regardless of chool or method, endeavoring to express is conception of the subject in the manner | best calculated to impress his idea upon the | Spectator. In this way our exhibitions es- cape the monotony of handling, color, and often subject matter, which visitors to the foreign soo so frequently criticise, oe 8 8 During the past week the principal point of interest for the art lovers and critics of Washington has been the exhibition which Mr. E. C. Messer is holding in the Fischer work has created intense interest among the brotherhood of local artists. His sub- jects, whether idealic or material, are treat- ed in a bold, almost impressionistic manner, which is entirely different from his usual Especially is this noticeable in a large canvas,entitled “The River Road.” | In this the stormy clouds, wind-tossed trees, with the shadowy foreground bright- ened by a single gleam of sunlight, are ad- mirably represented and show the artis familiarity with the most difficult featur of landscape work. An exquisite bit, down in the catalogue as “Pasture Birches,” is treated in tender grayish greens, with a summer sky which is almost perfection in its atmospheric effect. “Passing Gleams” is another difficult subject cleverly handled.

As time goes on the attendance at the candy exposition, now in progress at the Washington Light Infantry Armory, stead- Ny increases. Scores of people visited the hall of sweetness last evening and witness- ed, in the way of special entertainment, a cocoanut opening contest for a gold medal, The contestants were Mr. Richard Parker, late of Gill's, and Mr. J. J. Peffersack of Brockton, Mass. The conditions were that each man should open twenty-five coco: nuts, and in @ manner leaving not a par ticle of shell on the meat. At the end of eighteen and one-half minutes, when Mr. Palmer yet had one nut remaiuing, Peffersack finished, and became the po Sessor of the prize.

An interesting feature of Mr. Miller’s studio is an immense portfolio of etchings, fac similes of work which have won for the artist a wide reputation, Most of his subjects are familiar oues to the Washington public, which is, perhaps, one of the reasons why his work is so popular.
