DEDICATORY EXERCISES the board of lady managers, the key to the home. The Key Accepted. Mrs. Hamma, in receiving the key, | sald: | Ths Vationa! Lutheran Home forthe Aged | “On behalf of the board of lady managers | IN THE CHURCHES Those who are usually well-posted are looking forward to some changes in the status of Methodism in Washington this yeur, and there are plans afoot, which, if carried through, will result in an extension of the work of the churches of that denom- | imation here. Many things have combined lately which have set the Methodists to thinking of new schemes for extending ana improving their work. The great and in- creasing interest in the Methodist Union and its progressive spirit is perhaps the cause of much of this feeling. This society, | whose object is the pushing on of Method- ism, and particularly the establishment of new churches und the aiding of old ones already built, has lately taken an important step—the consideration of the plan of pool- ing the debts of all the churches. This was the idea of Dr. Henry Rk. Naylor when he was the presiding elder here, but it has not | been developed, The plan, which has been | touched upon before in this column, is in brief to bring all the churches together, 80 | far as financial considerations go, to pool the debts of each individual church and to | false the amount of and pay off the total indebtedness of the churches in a body. | Each church would be assessed a certain | Share, according to {ts size, and it is | claimed that the entire indebtedness on j Methodist property here could be wiped out | in a few years. The matter of debts and | their payment has become especially proml- | ment lately on account of the financial | troubles of the North Capitol M.E. Church and the appeals in its behalf, and in this connection the pI of pooling the church debts has been pressed. At the meeting of the Methodist Union I accept this key as the symbol of the! Formally Op:ned. possession of these premises for the pur- poses named in our appointment, and 1 beg to assure the board of trustees, through you, its president, that the home hereby committed to our management shall be treated as a most sacred trust, and shall receive our most conscientious care. I beg to be indulged « moment in expressing ac- knowledgment here of the cheerful and hearty devotion with whtch the ladies of this board have entered into this precious work. Such a willing and noble band of Christian helpers cannot but justify your confidence. I am sure I may promise you, on their behalf, the fullest possible measure of their devotion toward making this benev- olent enterprise the joy and pride of our denomination. Our hearts and hands shall ever be ready to minister to the aged and weary pilgrims who shall find this thetr last earthly resting place, and we shall ever seck to make the evening of their lives peaceful and bright as the summer sunset around these enchanting hilis.” Other Speeches. Congratulatory speeches were also made by Rev. L. E. Albert, D.D., of German- town, Pa., who for the past twenty years has been the able and efficient treasurer A Large Attendance—Interesti sratulatory Speeches—The Rooms AN Furnished. The “National Lutheran Home for the Aged” hal tts “opening day” yest-rday. A large number of friends and patrons of the home were present at the opening ex- ercises and dedication of this the first ecttage home. As has already been stated im The Staz, the tract of land on which this the first of a series of cottages has been erected and comprising thirty acres ‘was the gift of the late Mrs. Sarah Uter- mehle, who, at the time of her death, was &@ member of the Church of the Reforma- tion, of which Rev. W. £. Parson, D. D., Is pastor. The object of this institution is to pro- vide a home fo> aged persons of the Evan- selical Lutheran Church of the general synod in the United States and others whose circumstances may so require, in- cluding a comfortable residence, with beard, clothing, employment, medical at- tendance and such other comforts as Christian brotherhood may dictate, subject to the conditions and provisions of the es- tablished regulations. In consideration of the fact that this Naticnal Home for the Aged is founded for the immediate benefit of persons who belong to the congregations of the Evan- gelical Lutheran Church of the general synod the appointment vf a board® of vis- Mors was asked of and made by the gen- eral synod. Any district synod may also vead 2 visitor to the home. The Koums Furnished. is opening this home under such favor- abie circumstances the board of trustees feel encouraged, and that their labors have ished or spoken for, and still there was a Gemand for more rooms to furnish. The Fecepuion room was furnished by Mrs. Tur- ner of Lutherville Seminary and friends of the institution, and is to be known as the @ very pretty hall rack, Mr. Emil Schafer. The cham- furnished as follows: One by Mrs. and Mrs. Norment; one by 38 is of St. Paul's Sunday In addition to the above were many articles brought by the donors, all vseful and necessary for successful house- keeping. Messrs. Craig & Herding also re- twermbered the home by sending a handsome refrigerator. The Dedicatory Exercises. ‘The exercises were begun promptly at 2:30 opening bymn was that of “Al Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” in the singing of which the entire audience joined. Rev. J. @. Butler, D. D.. of Luther Place Memorial Church offered prayer, at the close of which the quartet chanted the “Lord's Prayer.” Rev. W. H. Dunbar. D. D., of St. Mark's, itimore, g then read the Scripture, music was the following well-known hymns: “While the Days Are Going By.” “My Ain Countrie.” Scotch melody; “Come Thou, Almighty King,” and “Lead, Kindly Light.” Dr. Parson then made a statement of t! fairs and management of the home, re- = the donation of the land, organization pnt incorporation, and concluded by hand- to Mrs. A. V. Hamma, the chairman of | | i | and manager of the Pastors’ Fund Associa- | tion, and who gave some striking illustra- tions of the need of such a home; Rev. 8. B. Barnitz, D. D., the western secretary of the board of home missions, who has al- ways a happy greeting and words of en- couragement to give, and the venerable Rev. J. G. Morris, D.D., LL.D., of Balti- more, without whom the organization of any of the institutions of the church would be incompiete. Dr. Morris spoke of his early work in Baltimore, where people ridi- culed the idea of organizing an English Lutheran Church, but he had lived to see frfteen or more organized. Here Dr. Domer | of St. Paul's interjected the remark that. “he hoped he would live to see fifteen or more cottages erected for homes,” and to which Dr. Morris replied that he hoped St. Paul's would signalize themselves during the coming summer by erecting the second cottage, thereby helping on to the fifteen. Dr. Morris laid particular stress on this being a Lutheran home, and as such it should be very near and dear to the hearts of the people, and encouraged as a Luther- an home. The Dedicatory Sentence. The exercises were then concluded by the pronouncing of the dedicatory sen- tence by the Rev. M. W. Hamma, D. D., as follows: “Inasmuch as the tender care of the aged is among the first duties instilled by Chris- tlanity, and inasmuch as God did put it into the heart of His sainted servant to make the gift of this place for a “National Lutheran Home for the Aged,” and pursuance of her noble example, oth His people have contributed to the same good , thus preparing this house for the service of this divine charity, therefore we, the ministers and people of Christ, here assembled, do now set apart, dedicate and consecrate this house to the uses of a “Na- tional Lutheran Home for the Aged,” in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.” Already the board of lady managers have got down to hard work, everything being in order and a clock-work tem prevail- ing. A substantial lunch was served in a tent just adjoining the cottage, the pro- ceeds of which go to the home. ‘There was an exceedingly good crowd in attendance, many coming from Baltimore, Philadelphia and other places, in addition to those from Washington. Very appro- priately the Rev. Dr. Morris was the first to register in the new home register, nearly all of those present also availing them- selves of this privilege. Much regret was expressed over the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Albert F. Fox, who were detained at home, owing to the critical fllness of their daughter, Miss Grace. The ministers in attendance were Revs. W. E. Parson, D. D., M. W. Hamma, D. D., Samuel Domer, D. D., J. G. Butler, D. D., W. H. Gotyald, Ph. D., A. Homrighaus, G. A. Nixdorff, L. M. Kuhns, C. H. Butler, D. E. Wiseman and C. C. Morhart of the W ington churches; Revs. J. G. Morris, D. D., LL. D., W. H. Dunbar, D. D., and Geo. W. Miller, D. D., of Baltimore, Md.; Rev. L. E. Albert, D. D., of Germantown, Pa., and Rey. S. B. Barnitz, D. D., of Des Moines City. Iowa. Letters of congratulation were received from Drs. Freas, Valentine, Enders, Baum, Delk, Trowbridge, Main, Mr. D. K. Ramey and others. No collections were taken, but voluntary offerings in money and other gifts amounting to many hundreds of dollars were received. es TE WASHINGTON STUDIOS. ‘Fhe greater part of Mr. Mmckley’s recent visit to Kurope was spent in examining the paintings and going through the ateliers ef those artists who have won notoriety through the medium of their “impressionis- de work,” and as that somewhat ambig- Im answer to questions the artist said: “Before we can understand the school of impressionism we must first consider the The motif for this may be historical, mys- tic, arabesque or realistic, but the critic always demand certain results.

He is enthusiastic over the brilliant color and permanent results pos- sible with this medium, and contemplates employing it largely in his future work. Since moving to Belair, Mr. Eortel has com- pleted eight large canvases,several of which have been placed in St. Mary's Church on Capitol Hill. ee © ew Mr. Max Weyl has recently disposed of several pictures which he has had on exhi- bition in New York.

Mr. he in very good | at Wesley M. E. Church last Monday night Mr. A. K. Brown made a strong speech and a motion for the immediate raising of the amount necessary to clear the North Capitol Church from debt,and although this Was not carried it had its supporters in the meeting. The union, however, showed it- self so favorable to the idea of pooling the church debt as to appoint a committee to examine into and report on the work of the Methodist churches of Cincinnati, which are .u” on that basis. Mr. Horace Benton, who addreso~ the union a short time ago, was one of the chicf supporters of that movement in Cincinnati, which, it is said, has resulted in a wonierful extension of the work there. | If the Methodist churches should decide | to thus band closer together the work, it is | predicted, would rot stop merely clearin, | the debt on the various churches, but its influence would be felt chiefly in putting up new or rebuilding old structures. Bach church would be assessed its equitable share, and this would all go into church ; extension, which is the great need of the Methodist Church here just now. Al- _ though the Methodist denomination is one | of the strongest in the city, it is a singul: i} fact that the North Capitol Church is the | only new church of any mention built by the Methodists here in twenty years. Fur- | thermore, their influence in the northwest is noticeably weak, as they have no church | of any size in the newer parts of the north- | west. At the conference in March some sur- prise was manifested at the appointment of Dr. Corey to the “Dupont Circle Church,” as it was well known that no made with the understanding. however, that Dr. Corey should commence to talk up and to finally organize a church in that neighborhood. How the great body of Methodists stand on the question of Pooling the debts of the churches and coming into closer union in their work can not, of course, yet be stated. Generally speaking, however, the smaller and weaker churches are in favor of the move, as it would greatly lighten their burdens, while the ‘larger churches which are free from debt hesitate. The Anaccstia Baptist Church will cele- brate the tenth anniversary of its organiza- tion on Sunday with interesting services, to be followed with special meetings every night during the following week. The Metropolitan Baptist Church, corner of Gth and A streets northeast, will observe the anniversery of the dedication of their church on next Wednesday evening. Rev. Green Clay Smith, the pastor, is arranging for some interesting speeches and a pieas- ant program for the occasion. The work of the Ninth Street Christian Church, corner of 0th and D streets north- east, is very encouraging. They have paid off at least a fourth ef their debt since April, and as the entire amount is not large they expect to dispose of the remain- ing amount in short order. The church, which is but a few years old, has grown so rapidly that the present structure is in- ——— to their needs, The matter of re- building, however, seems to be something of a puzzle. Their lot would not admit of the erection of a church with a seating ca- pacity of over 600 persons,and if the church grows as rapidly in the next few years as it has in the past year, it would soon out- grow quarters of that size. The movement of population tn that direction leads the congregation to think that they are des- tined to become a large one. There is tall at present of erecting a kind of tabernacle, @ more or less temporary building, to last for about five years, after which the con- gregation would be better able to judge of their needs in the erection of a permanent church, The church gave an excurston down the river last Friday. Children’s Sun- day will be observed on Sunday after next. Dr. J. J. Muir, the itor of the E Street Baptist Church; Dr. 5. H. Greene, the pas- tor of Calvary Church; Dr. Stakely, the itor of the First Baptist Church; Mr. artin and Dr. Welling were all at the Baptist meeting at Saratoga last week. Dr. Greene, who returned to preach at his church last Sunday, went back again to Saratoga directly after, to take part in the ordination of Rev.

Warner of Paulet, Vt., who has accepted the call of the church to be its pastor. Mr. Warner is chaplain of the Vermont di- vision of the Sons of Veterans, and is very popular with young men. He has consider- able experience in missionary work, and is believed to be well calculated to build up the church to which he has been called. Cardinal Gibbons will preach tomorrow at Immaculate Conception Church, corner 8th and N streets.

NOTES OF THE PLAYERS “Althouh the Washington Base Ball Club is composed of a set of men who for the most part never played together before this season, and in spite of the numerous draw- backs it has had to labor under, I am most firmly of the opinion that we will not finish in last place,” said Manager Schmelz in | conversation with The Star man. “Just as long as the men put up the game they have been playing during the past week there will be no change in the personnel of the team. Hasamaear is hitting the ball harder than Selbach was doing, and for that reason I think he is the better man in right field, for the present at least. If a good short stop could be secured we would make a grab for him, but you must remember that Radford has not played the position since 1891, when he was with the Boston Associa- tion team. Since them Paul has been con- stantly in the outfield, but he is surely and steadily improving in his play, and is also batting regularly, so I am of the opinion that he wiil prove satisfactory from now on. Esper is again with the team through solemn promises to President Wagner, but he will not under any condition be taken back should he infringe the club rules once more.” A Pittsburg newspaper man who is travel- ing with the Pirate: marked in the press box during Thursday's game that Washing- ton fs undoubtedly the most unsympathetic base ball town in the country, and is appar- ently more ready to “root” for the visiting club than for the home players. When this statement was repeated to Mr. Schmelz he emphatically agreed with it in every par- ticular. “In comparison with the other cities of the league Washington is utterly Giscouraging,” he said. “Here there is lit- Ue or no demonstration over good pla: While away on trips the men play with snap and ginger that is absent when at home, because of non-encouragement. They hate to come home. We are playing good ball, as four victories in four days demon- | strate. Let the spectators pull with the players, and the club will most certainly continue the good work. “Notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary nine games have been lost to us because of unjust umpiring, and we | always received such treatment at the most critical moment of the games. As a sample the Boston Herald in its report of the game there on Monday last speaks this, way: ‘The game opened promisingly, and some sharp plays were made, especially by the visitors. The Bostons were enabled to take the lead in the third inning, prin- cipally through a decision of the umpire favorable to Boston. Mr. Stage undoubtedly | meant to be perfectly fair, and gave the decision as he saw the play, but Connaugh- ton was clearly out at first in the third. He would have made the third out, and Lowe would not have made his home run, with three on bases, in that inning at any rate.’ “I repeat that in spite of everything the Washington base ball club can play ball with the best of them, and when the race draws to a close next fall we will be several notches higher than tail end.” | During the past week several telegrams have been received at league headquarters from various league clubs claiming the services of Joe Sullivan, whom the sh- ington management proposed to release. Said President Young: ‘You might imagine that Joe Sullivan was one of the star play- ers of the league, judging from the way several of the managers in the league were tumbling over one another to secure his services, as goon as it was announced that he had been given his ten days’ notice of release. Chicago and Cincinnati were par- Ucularly anxious to get him.” In this connection it will be remembered that “Grandpap” Anson has had a fancy for Sullivan for more than year past. During one of his visits to Washington last season, when the Washingtonians were complaining that Joe Sullivan was lacking in several important qualities which go to make up a good short stop, Anson looked the “Boston boy’ over critically, and re- marked that he would take the lad when- ever Washington was ready to release him. It is apparent to all those who have fol- lowed the work of Paul Radford during the past two weeks that he is not at home in the position of shortstop. He admits him- self that he cannot do the position justice, and a gentleman who witnessed several of | the out-of-town Washington games says Radford was exceedingly weak in fielding ground hits, and his errors cost the, Sena- tors many runs. In the opening Pittsburg game here Thursday the two star lefthanded pitchers of the league were “boxed” as opponents. It is hardly necessary to state that Frank | Killen and Charlie Esper are the two men referrec to. Esper has made his peace with | Manager Schmelz, and is once more back in the Senatorial fold. For eight innings Esper had the best of the argument against Killen, although the latter had by far the better support. If Esper had a team ¢om- | ner of such hustlers as Jack Beckley, | ierbauer, Lyons and Jack Glasscock, to say nothing about Connie Mack or Snyder behind the bat to sustain him, he would probably prove more effective than his Pittsburg rival. Esper is a better fielder in his position than Killen, and he is a better batsman. Jim McGuire’s work behind the bat for the Washingtons is one of the few bright spots in the team’ exhibitions. He is catching, batting and throwing better this season than he did when he was the star catcher of the Philadelphia club. In the batting averages published recently Mac's record did not show up as well as some of | his companions, but his timely and effective stick work has netted the Senators more runs than that of any other member of the team. Umpire Tim Hurst has presided over a majority of the Washington games, and he has had a better opportunity to judge the work of the local players than the writer. It is therefore gratifying to Charlie Ab- bey’s friends to hear that Mr. Hurst con- siders him one of the best outilelders in the league today. Speaking of Abbey's all-| round work, Mr. Hurst says he is fast | enough to play in any team in the league. | He picks out the good balls delivered by the | opposing pitcher with rare judgment. He | is a hard hitter, a brilliant flelder and the | base runner in the team. Best of all, | ‘Dp! ball from start to finish, and has | no time for kicking.” After seeing the Washingtons and Louis- villes play three games the general impres- sion here is that Gus Schmelz has a team that should beat “Billie Barnie’s Congress of Back Numbers” out in the race. W: ingtonians realize that they do not possess a_winning ball team at present, but the “Barnieites” are surely weaker than the Senators. Patsy Donovan, the energetic captain of the Pittsburgs, still cultivates that very dis. agreeable habit of running in from the o field to question every decision that appe to him to be a little close. In Thursday's game he dashed in from the right field to dispute one of Tim Hurst's rulings and was proceeding to make a threatening gesture | under Hurst's pose, whereupon Hurst as- sumed an offensive attitude an? gave Patsy a rude push backward, with the declaration that he would put him out of the game. Patsy subsided and did not debate further with the umpire during the contest. There is too much kicking at the umpire on all sides.

Davy Force, the old-time back stop of from twenty to thirty years ago, occasion- ally takes in the games at the Polo grounds and Eastern Park. One great cause of the rough conduct of many of the players is the example set by their captains or managers. In the cases of Miller and Tebeau this is quite observable.—Pittsburg Dispatch. The work of Umpire Stage is commended to your chip-on-the-shoulder arbitrary um- pires, who seem to be always looking for trouble. Stage does not notice any player, but the captain of each club. DONOVAN DOWNED. The “Senators” Turn ti the “Pirates.” Tables on Captain Donovan and his piratical crew received a rude set back yesterday after- noon. ‘hey not only were badly beaten by the Schmeitzites, but also dropped back to second pince in the league race, owing to the wholloping administered the cham- Pions by the Spiders. Things assumed a decidedly dark and yellowish hue at the start, and it then looked as though the Pittsburgs bad a walk over, but such proved not to be the case, The pitching of Mercer was all that could be desired and the combined efforts of the Pittsburg coachers and their players on the bench to rattle the youngster proved unavailing. Mercer also made a hit, which turned out to be a home run, and, later batted out @ very pretty single when it was most needed. Joyce purchased a new bat during the morning, and with it touch- ed up Mr. Gumbert for a home run and a three-bagger. A four-base hit and two singles is credited to Cartwright and Te. beau made a double and a single. Five earned runs were scored by the heme team in the fifth and then the spec- tators rested easy. Pittsburg made two in the first, and cne each in the third, fifth and ninth, the latter being a gift. Lyons reached first and then Mr. Schmelz in- Structed McGuire not to go up behind the bat, but to let Mercer give bis entire at- tention to the batter, which was done suc- cessfully.
