Wilson's Independent Methodist Church, theast, COUNTRY LITTLE KNOWN An Authority Lectures on Peru, Its People and Civilization. Better Acquaintance Desired — Eng- land Knows South America Well —A Peaceful Land. Major Alfred L. Sears, who for the past nine years has been employed by the Pe- ruvian government in engineering work, delivered an interesting lecture before the National Geographic Society at Butlders’ Exchange Hall fast night. His subject | was “Peru, the Land of Pizarro.” He is @ good talker, and he gave an entertaining account of his experiences in Peru. He expressed surprise at the general ignorance of the people of this country with regard to that republic, which, he said, was nearer New York and more accessible from that port than San Francisco or Liverpool. American ignorance of the countries of THE CHURCHES. On last Bfonday a ¢onference between the Lutheran ministers of Baltimore and of this city was held’ at St. Paul's English Lutheran Church, corner of 11th and Ii streets northwest. The pastors of the Lutheran churches’ here were all present, and a large delegation came over from Bal- timore, making in ali a gathering of about twenty-five promfment Lutheran pastors, The object of the conference was an im- portant one—to have an informal discus- sion on the advisability of dividing the synod of Maryland. There has been @ rowing feelingy> among some of the synod of Maryland, which includes that State and the District of Columbia, is get- ting a little too large to be managed well as a whole, and there has been such @ large delegation present usually at the yearly meetings of the synod that when they met in a place there has been difficulty in accommodating them. The sentiment of the meeting of the ministers last Monday was said to be in favor of a division. In case this was done, both Bal- timore and Washington wouil probably fall in one division and the western part of Maryland in another. The synod of Maryland now contains about 120 churches, South America, and Peru in particular, he said, was remarkable, considering their contiguity and natural interests. The peo- ple of Europe have a much better knowl- edge of the geography of South America than the people of the United States, and Great Britain, in particular, is much more active in advancing its commercial interests there than its immediate neighbors on the Same continent. It was unfortunate, he said, that we never heard anything from those countries but their troubles, and consequently had been led to regard them as being in a perpetual state of revolution. This was mainly due to the fact that every street row or bar room brawl was magni- fied by sensational correspondents so as to make it appear that the country where it occurred was on the verge of internecine war. He described Peru as a country pe- culiarly attractive to Americans. Its gov- ernment is like our own and it enjoyed almost uninterrupted peace. He paid a high tribute to the enduring works of Henry Meigs, an American engi- neer, who had probably done more for Peru than any other one man in the development of its vast natural resources. Considerable American capital was invested in the mines and railroads of Peru. Better order is ob- served in Peru than in the United States or in any ccuntry of Europe, and there has been but one revolution since 1844. Not- withstanding this record, it is continualiy represented that the country is on the verge of a revolution, and efforts are con- tinually being made for the establishment of a United States coaling station at Callao. Reports of this kind are circulated in the interest of a well-known firm of New York, which derives substantial benefit from the visits to that port of United States, naval vessels, The Coming Election. The country is pow in the throes of a presidential election. Maj. Sears predicted the election of Gen. Castro as president and i Gen. Cavanallo, late minister to the United | States, as vice president. The latter was a stanch friend of the United States and could be counted on fo stand by it in case | of need. Maj. Sears gave a highly compli- mentary description of the Peruvians and their country, and regretted the failure of the United States to cultivate thelr ac- quaintance to the full extent of their oppor- tunities, commercially and otherwise, “There were no more gentile, refined and lovable people anywhere, and their social qualities-| were as charming as their country, which is saying a great deal. Callao has better dock, than any seaport in this country, with the possible exception of Boston. Only an Accident. The lecturer dilated on the vast mineral } and agricultural resources of Peru, and | gave an interesting description of the great | coast desert, in the department of Puira, | where he was engaged in the construction of an improved system of irrigation. Ac- cording to his theory, it was but an acci- dent in settlement that advanced the United States ahead of the countries of South America The former was colonized by the British, French and German, and the lat- ter were conquered by the Spaniards. The flight of a flock of parrots diverted Colum- United States might now be in the condi- tion of the countries of South America. They are still dominated by the church, and, although republics in name, are really only half free. Chile accomplished the conquest of Peru, with the assistance of Great Britain, and secured the valuable nitrate beds of that country. Cotton, sugar and coffee are easily produce@ in Peru, and it has entered the markets against the United States in the production of petro- Jeum and its accessories. Owing to the pe- eculiar properties of the country for the transmission of sound, conversations in Lima are conducted by telephone, each of the participants remaining in his own par- lor during their. progress. THE CLOSING DAYS. Prizes Offered Students at the Difer- ent Law Schools. As the year at the law schools draws to a close the interest in the contests for the various prizes increases. Now that all the examinations are over, the first question which the would-be lawyer asks is, “Did I pass?” and then when assured of that fact his next anxiety is to know he is the winner of one of the prizes. i At Columbian a prize of $100, called the Parker prize, in honor of its donor, ex-Com- missioner Myron M. Parker, is awarded to tion for the degree of bachelor of law prize of $#, called the Britton prize, in honor of its founder, Mr. A. T. Britton, is | awarded to the student who passes the | best examination for the degree of master | of laws. Three prizes, one of $40, one of $30 and one of $20, are given to the respect- | ive authors of the best three essays among all those handed in by such members of the senior class as shall compete for them and shall pass a successful examination for the degree of bachelor of laws. In addition to these prizes given each year under the direction of the faculty the Debating Society holds annually a prize de- bate. This year the debate will take place on Friday evening, June 8, at the hall of the | university. The contestafts selected from the various classes are as follows: P. G. class—Messre. J. alter Barber and 8. R. Jacobs; senior class—Messrs. J. M. Gray and A. D. Spangler, and junior clase— Messrs. A. M. Sayre and Walter T. Cob | quitt. The debater delivering the best ar- gument will be awarded the prize. The arrangements for this event are in the hands of the executive committee of the Debating Society, which consists of Messrs. Avery, Brown, Williams, Barrett, Butts, Kyselka and Jordan. At the National Law School three medals will be awarded at the close of the year, viz: The faculty gold medal for the most tisfactory “junior examination; the Mac- Arthur gold medal, for the most satisfac- tory senior examination; the university gold | medal, for the most satisfactory post-grad- uate examination. The post-graduate and senior classes of | Howard University Law School will receive | j their diplomas on Monday evening next at the First Congregational Church. The ad- dress to the class will be delivered by Sen- ator Hoar of Massachusetts, and the de- grees will be conferred by Rev. J. E. Ran- kin, president of the university. The music | will be furnished by the Marine Band, and one of the features of the program will be the rendition of the “Howard University Law School March,” by Prof. Fanciuili. The graduates of Georgetown University Law School will be addressed at their com- mencement by Senator Manderson of Ne- braska. The president of the senior class at Co- lumbian has appointed the following mem- bers of the junior class as a reception com- mittee for the graduating class on the even- ing of the commencement: John B. Sleman, jr., chairman; Brainard Avery, J. D. Black. A. Y. Bradey, C. A. Brown, C. K. Mace; R. E. Claughton, A. O. Clephane, W. Colquitt, B. A. Enloe, jr., D. EB. A. Alton, J. R. Fellows, jr., T.

The members of Farragut Post, No. 10, and all comrades who wish to join them will assemble in Stanton square, Sth and Maryland avenue northeast (at the Greene statue), on Sun- day morning at 10:30 o'clock, where they will be joined by the other organizations and proceed to the church in a body. bus’ course to the south, otherwise the / hether or not | book adopted is the “New Laub: | byrons and tunes, the student who passes the best examina- | arms and surrender or be blown up | giant powder, which had beer place 100 ministers and 20,000 communicants. The annual meeting will take place ut Frostburg, Md., in October next. The question of the division of the synod will probably be put at that meeting, which is composed of one minister and one lay delegate from each church, and the vote on the matter by the representatives of the churches at that time will be final. Pe- culiar significance and importance attaches to the question arising now when it is also proposed to divide the diocese of Maryland of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Rev. Hugh Johnston, the pastor of the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Churcn, corner of 4 1-2 and C streets northwest, will not return to the city to take charge of his church this summer. He ts much better now, but does hot feel able to do any pastoral work: yet. His family, con- sequently, will shortly join him at Toronto, Canada, where he now is, and they will spend the summer in those parts. It is quite possible, however, that he may retura to the city for a few days in July, but only for a brief visit, as he does not ex- pect to take up his duties again until the fall. Father O'Gorman of the Catholic Uni- versity will take the place of Bishop Keane in the dedicatory services of the St. Cyp- rians Roman Catholic Church, corner of 13th and C streets southeast, tomorrow, preaching the sermon.. Bishop Keane is too ill to attend. A military brigade has been formed at the First Presbyterian Church, on 41-2 street aear C street northwest, in connec- tion with the boys’ gymnastum. This church claims to be the only one in the city with a gymnasium, and the boys’ bri- gade will be another movement in that direction. To join tts ratks the bors must be members of the Sunday school and must promise to refrain from smoking or the use of profane language while in its ranks. The boys will be uniformed and thoroughly jinstructed in the military sciex They are under command of Col. Loyd, a member of the church and formerly a colonel in the Pennsylvania militia. The twentieth anniversary of the Luther Place Memorial Church, at Thomas Circle, will be held on the first Sunday of June. The venerable Dr. V. L. Cunnard of Phila- delphia is expected to be present. The ser- vices will be followed with a reception cn Monday night to the congregation by the pastor, Dr. Butler, at his house. At St. Patrick's Church tomorrow special services will be held after high mass, at which the Rev. Father Gloyd will be the celebrant, assisted by the Rev. Father & | Gee and the Rev. Dr. Stafford. After mass there will be.a Corpus QChristi procession. The Rev. Dr, Stafford will preach the ser- mon. After vespers there will be the an- nual May procession. The Luther Statue Association, of which Dr. G. G. Morris of Philadelphia is the president, meets today at the home of Dr. J. G.

Last February the miners at Cripple Creek, Col., struck against the Inauguratior of the nine-hour day. They asked $3 for eight hours’ work, or pay accordingly for a nine-hour day. This the owners refused j and the mines were cloged. The owners waited some time for a break in the strikers’ ranks, but this failing to material- ize, they requested the state to send depu- ties for the protection of non-union men with which they proposed to open one mine —the Independence—as a test. If those working the mine were interfered with, the deputies were to arrest the trouble makers and thus have a basis for action in the courts. Thursday night, as telegraphed to yester- day's Star, seventy deputies left Cripple Creek to guard the mines about four miles distant, at Victor, Twenty of them were surrounded there and their arms and am- munition taken away.

A Cripple Creek dispatch, sent last night, says: Stories of pitched battles having been fought between the miners and the deputies are untrue. There is, however, danger that the miners will make battle at any time on the deputies that came in from Denver. The latter are not strong enough In num- bers to resist the force of miners that can be sent against them at a moment's notice, The miners have all the roads heavily guarded, and no one is wed to pass the guards ‘without stating his business «: destination.
