‘THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1894—TWENTY PAGES. TRINITY PA RISH HAUL. TRINITY'S PARISH HALL. The Commodiou: ilding Which is| Now Heing Erected. | The accompanying cut is a good represen- | tation of the new parish hall of the Trinity | Protestant Episcopal Church, corner of 2 and C streets northwest, now in course of construction. The building of this hall by the congregation has more than ordinary significance. The building, when complet- ed, will be devoted entirely to the uses of the Sunday school and church societies, and is being erected solely for them. There Is only one other building of such size in | connection with any of the churches of this city, that of the Calvary Baptist | Chureh, and comparatively few in the) sountry at large. In the erection of churches the church auditorjum ts often | the only thing thought of, and the Sunday ! school and kindred societies are constrain- | €d to take up quarters in basements, at- | tics or even less favorable localities. The | building of this parish hall by the Trinity | P. E. Church, and other similar structures recently, shows how strong is the reac-| tion against the old methods in this respect. The new parish hall is being built on the lot adjoining the church on the north, having a frontage of about seventy-nine feet on Yd street and sixty-eight feet on Indiana avenue. Work has only been in progress for a couple of weeks, and the force is at present engaged on excavation | and in the laying the foundations. Accord- | ing to the plans prepared by the architect, Mr. William J. Palmer of this city, a bried | sxetch of which was printed in The Star | the first part of December last, at the time | they were accepted by the building com- | mittee, the hall will be constructed of brick | and sandstone, with two stories and a base- | ment, and occupying the lot completely. | The basement and the trimmings will be of | red sandstone, making a most handsome | exterior, while the interior will be arranged | with particular attention to convenience. The Interior Plan. side. On the first floor will be the infant class roum, robing room, and rooms for St. Mark's Friendly League, the Brother- hood of St. Andrew, the King’s Daughters, Dercas Society and ladies’ reception room. In addition to this on the same floor will be tae vestry room or rector’s study and the library and reading room. The upper floor will be occupied in the main by a large hall with a seating capacity of from U0 to 800 persons for the Sunday school, and where lectures and entertain- ments may be held as well. On this story with an entrance will connect the hall with the galleries of the church as will another door connect the. lower floor with the auditorium. There will be a well arranged kitchen in the basement, where it is also proposed to fit up a gymnasium for the young men and boys of the congregation. A high roof of slate and tile will surmount the building, which will be lighted with ornamental win- Cows and skylights. There will be a circular tower at the northwest corner, which will make a pleasing effect from the outside. The entire building when com- Pleted will cost about $20,0u0. The raising of funds with which to carry out this work has been accomplished with no small strug- gle. The Result of Active Work. For ten years the congregation have been raising money for the enterprise. Five thousand dollars was received as a gift from Miss Bessie Kibbey, a former mem- ber of the church, on condition that the congregation raised a like amount. The Dorcas Society has been prominent in ar- ranging for fairs, entertainments and the like to raise money and has done much t ward making the erection of the hall at this time a possibility. The lot upon which the hall will be built cost $10,000, and w: purchased in 1888, It is hoped that the parish hall will be finished by next December, so that the church may occupy it by the beginning of the new year. The committee which has its erection in charge consists of Mr. Wm. A. Meioy, chairman; Theodore O. Ebaugh, Loeky: Henry A. ood, Corbi: ‘There will be an entrance on the western Geo. Watts.

Then they separated, and the envious one went around the corner and hurried into a broker's office on F street, where he watched the figgres on the quotation board |, with intent earnestness. Both of these gentlemer. were young business men, and, like hundreds of their friends, they dabbled in stocks, A glance into any of the better class of brokers’ offices in Washington will discover the presence of men who are en- be able to and take i street stocks or Chicago grain, meat end lard. There are many high rollers in Washington; men of means who buy large blocks of stock ‘and transact their speculation here through the local brokers. But the latter receive most of their patronage from small speculators whose investments in stocks range from $10 to $4 at each purchase. A great many department clerks are among the latter class of patrons, and they are as well equipped regarding the market and the history of the various securities listed as most of the men in Wall street themselves. There is also large specula- tion here in grain, while pork and lard in- spire the gambling instincts of a good many. Congressmen from the east and north favor the industrials in their specu- lation; the western men are strong on wheat and the better class of railroad stocks; but there are few southern Con- gressmen who patronize broke:s et all. As one of them put it the other day, “T c: get quicker action on a horse race than I can on the variations of stock quotations, and can find more fun in a good game of old ‘three Kentuck’ poker than in either of the others." * 6 Another strong advertisement for the manicures comes from far off Bulgaria, where the neglect of a prime minister's finger rails caused his overthrow and re- tirement in disgrace, for it was nothing less than lack of attention to these prominent points in his anatomy that led to the down- fall of Stambuloff, the Bulgarian prime minister. Prince Ferdinand, it will be re- membered, married some time ago a prin- cess of the house of Bourbon, and she brought to her new home down among the Balkans all the delicate refinement and ex- quisite sensibilities of a Parisian grande Gamé. One day she noticed that Stambu- loft’s finger nails were in a deplorable con- dition, according to her elegant ideas, and she called the prime minister's attention to the necessity of attending to them. The bluff old Bulgarian Bismarck didn’t at all relish being called to account by a fragile bit of womankind, and he gruffly told her to mind her own business, as he had other and more important duties to attend to than that of difying his personal ap- pearance. A ruction was started right there be- tween the princess and the prime minister, and when an individual of the latter de- scription bucks up against the female end | of the reigning house whom he happens to be serving it doesn’t take an astronomer | with a telescope to discover what the re- sult will be. The princess might have for- gotten and forgiven the condition of Stambuloff’s finger nails, but there was too much wo in her to overlook hi: Togance, so she put her diplomatic wits to | work and Mr, Stambuloff now has enough time on his hands to spend several hours a day tn close communion with.a mani- cure. All this is merely preliminary to the suggestion that Washington ts a com- munity of finger nail biters. This is not elegant, to be sure, but it is true. A glance over a theater or any place here where | large numbers of ple are assembled will discover numerous persons chewing away |at their finger ends, and in almost every street car an observer who keeps his eyes open will see the same practice indulged in | to a greater or less degree. Of course the habit is due to the nervous temperament of those afflicted with it, and the person who could invent something to eradicate it| would be almost as great a benefactor to| the human race as he who could relieve a suffering world from the vile smell of cigar- ettes. se @ . “There should be a school for barbers,” | whispered a professor of the art tonsorial | into the writer's ear, as he snipped the) lovelocks from around it. “Ever since| shaving and haircutting first began to be Fecognized as a@ profession, or as a great | | many people call it, a trade, the barber | | has been graduated from the brush boy.

When he gets older he begins to the razor on the j other barbers, and after while when a stranger comes in he is given a chance to try his skill om him.

Yesterday all my folks went away to the seashore, leaving only myself, the young: est of the family, and my sister, who is next older than me, to assume the cares of the household. Neither of us have had any experience in this line, and the results bid fair to be amusing, If nothing more, es- pecially in the matter of preparing for breakfast, as both of us are late sleepers. This morning the first break occurred, and thus it happened. The servant is due at about 6 in the morning, and as I am a sound sleeper, I instructed her to ring the beli vigorously and not to go away if she was not very promptly admitted; and I also ; told my sister, if she heard the bell, to awaken me, and I would iet the girl in. Last night I was up till 2 o'clock writing, and, consequently, four hours later was in the soundest of my slumbers when the ice- man came and left a cube of his wares on | the steps, Just afterward the servant came and applied for admission. At first her vig- crous rings on the loud gong, which is only one flight of stairs away from my room,.' produced no impression on my morning slumbers, but she followed my instruc- tions and continued conscientiously to make that bell startle the whole neighborhood except myself and my sister, whose ularm clock also did not-have the desired effect of driving away unconscfousness. At last I was partially aroused so that the ringing of the bell caused me to dream of fire engines, and in a few seconds all the horrors of a | destruetive fire passed through my reviv- jing brain and I saw myself running and shouting and the engine steaming and the firemen pursuing their heroie work of res- cue. Then, I suppose her arm was tired, the faithful servant pulled slow, steady strokes, and instantly my dream changed, and I found myself on a railway train going to join the family at the seaside. Suddenly these visions were dispelled, and the stern reality“of the occasion was foreed upon my unwilling mind as I reluctantly jumped up and removed the bars that hindered the servant’s entrance. She was quite cheerfu) over the affair, and said she had not been kept waiting for more than fifteen minutes. Truly the way of the head of ihe house is pleasant.” —_——- Cape May’s College Team, The Cape May Athletic Club has decided to have a summer baseball team composed of the best college players.

B. Moses & Song has been made still more attractive during the past week by the addition of several new canvases, contrib- uted by some representative artists. Con- spicuous among these is the quaint little maid in white attire, which has gained for Mr. Uhl much of that artist’s local popu- larity, Another canvas, by the same artist, showing a group of horses at a watering trough, {s also on exhibition. Mr. Max Weyl is well represented by several of his delightful landscapes. Mr.R.L. Johnston has been the most liberal contributor to the collection, having some six or eight good-sized caftvases. “The Cur- few Tolla the Knell of Parting Day” has attracted much attention for its poetic beauty, as well as its rather peculiar title and scheme of color. Another well-painted canvas, which is not distinguished by any title, represents a flock of sheep, with at- tendant shepherd, in the misty twilight at- mosphere, which Mr. Johnston so frequent- ly and successsfully introduces into his canvases. The shadowy figure is darkly outlined jainst the sky, which is full of golden sunset color. The subject is charm- ingly seen and painted, and is one of the most interesting in the gallery. Mr. Emil Meyer also has some fine land- scape work, painted in the broad, compre- hensive manner which characterizes this young artist's efforts. Several of the paint- ings which he is row exhibiting have been seen In private and public coilections during the season and so have grown familiar to the public. Mr. Gardner A. Rickard has a charming little landscape in water colors, and Miss Mindeleff is also represented by a_well- handled, daintily-colored study of La France roses in the same medium. A fine specimen of stipple work is seen in the portrait of Paderewski,. to which the artist’s name was not attached. , Mr. Wells M. Sawyer has also several of his most clever studies, which have been accorded places of honor. Miss Kelly exhibits several interesting studies in still life and landscape. An imposing piece of tapestry, painted by Miss Juliet Thompson, fearlessly handled and brilliantly colored, holds a conspicuous place, while the easel of unframed water colors by Mr. E. Lamasure is a never-fail- ing source of attraction to the many vis- itors. During the last few days the principal center of interest has been the splendid bronze cast, which has been placed in the middie of the room. It is a copy by Geiss of “The Amazon,” the original of which stands in the Louvre, Paris. The entire composition of the famous bronze is grace- ful and masterly. 8 * 2 e Mr. R. N. Brooke left the city this after- noon on the first stage of his trip to Europe, for which he takes passage on the 10th. . 7 fe Dr. Barbarin of the Corcoran Gallery has returned to the city from New York, where he has been during the past few days transacting business connected with the new gallery and school, upon which the work is being steadily and rapidly pushed forward. se 8 Mr. Hovenden is busy with two portraits, one of Dr. Elmer Gates, the other of Mr. F. H. Cushing, both of which are being executed in the artist's characteristic style. The two canvases are identical in size, but in every other way present marked contrasts. That of Dr. Gates shows the quiet, contemplative scholar and scientist, while that of Mr. Cushing rep- resents the quick, alerg man of the world As soon as this work is completed, which will be in about ten days, Mr. Hovenden will leave for his home, in Plymouth Meet- ing, Pa., on his way to the w where he expects to find subject matter for a large canvas, the composition of which he has long hed in view. Mr. Hovenden’s friends and admirers have for the past few days been enthusiastically examining a number of fine proofs which the artist has received of his painting, ‘Bringing Home the Bride,” which attracted so mach atten- tien at the world’s fair, where it was pur- chased by Mr. Wanamaker for $6,000. ce eee . Mr. Macdonald is at work on an exquisite figure study, for which the model is Miss Bessie Barbee. The painting is highly decorative in effect, being treated more daintily and with greater consideration for the conventionalities of modern art than is sually seen jn the work of this talented artist, ee a ee The gallery of the Cosmos Club has been well filled during each day of the present week with the many admirers of photo- graphic art, the occasion being the annual | exhibition of the Capital Camera Club, The walls and several screens were completely covered with photographs, prints and half- tones, the latter being partacularly notice- able for their delicacy and artistic beauty. Although all the work exhibited was of a high order of excellence, that by Miss Fran- ces Johnston, Mr. Fergueson, Mr. Frank Boteler, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Adee, Mr. Fair- man and Mr. Hearbst was particularly fine in style and finish. Certificates were awarded for finest work in landscape subjects to Mr. Max Hanss- mann and Mr. Eugene Lee Ferguson; for portrait subjects to Miss Frances B.

Bryant, teacher of drawing at Kendall Green, is holding an elaborate ex- hibition in his residence on East Capitol street. The collection includes a number of interesting water color studies of scenery in the Yosemite valley and various other picturesque and historic ‘points of western scenery. The representations of mountain scenery are particularly worthy of notice; each technical detail being studied and brought out in the most conscientious man- ner. Several fine portraits in oil, an elab- orate collection of photographs and pen and ink work, besides a number of well filled sketch books, kept the attention of the visitors fully occupied.

The payment of the half-yearly taxes which were due during the past month have been made with promptness, and the col- lector of taxes states that in the pet age of the amounts received the returns have been quite as good as they were a year ago. It has been supposed that, owing to the de- pression, that the revenue of the District in this respect would suffer. Jt appears, however, that the owners of property in this District were able to get together the money to meet their obligations to the city. It is true that the heavy penalty of Yper cent a month which is imposed cn all delinquents is quite a powerful incentive to promptly meet the tax dues. In this view, it perhaps would not be strictly accurate to tase upon the favorable showing made at the tax office the conclusion that the prop- erty owners of the District are flush while everybody else is feeling, more or less, the influence of the dull times.

Mr. O'Leary, who officiated as um- pire last season and gave such universal satisfaction, has consented to preside over the contest again. Dr. King will act as surgeon for the “Longs” and Dr, Jere El- liot will experiment upon the “Shorts” in case of an emergency. An orchestra will be in attendance, as usual, and admission to the game will be by invitation only. Cards will be furnished to members of the club one week before the game is played. The “Shorts” have held the championship for three consecutive seasons and the strug- gie promises to be a desperate one. AMATEUR ATHLETICS. of the C. Kendall Green Tennis—New C. A. C. Running Track.

The Kendall Green boys do not feel over joyful at the showing the team has made this year, but lay @ good many of their cefeats to the loss ef their best pitcher, Cummings, who left bere April 21 to join a nine at Royserfield, Pa., of the Schuyikill Valley League.

McArthur took a run to the Soldiers’ Home and Brightwood last Monday evening, | which was greatly enjoyed. The swimming club is planning another swim soon. The one-ti{themile bicycle track on the outdoor park cf the Columbia Athletic Club will not be put in just yet. Instead a 100 stretch will be laid aiong by the Van Ness House, right in the line of the one-fifth track, so that it can be finally utilised as a | part of that. The one-fifth-mile track wilt require a good deal of time and money to lay, and will be put in as the club sees fit. RESULTS ON THE TURF.

I believe there is a similar law in affect in Maryland now.” “I wish some of these theosophists, who know all about the subtle influences that control human beings, would explain an in- cident in which I figured a couple of weeks ago,” said a promirent member of the Uat- versity Club, who eiso writes pieces for the | Pewspapers, at Wormiey’s yesterday. “I | was up at the club one right, and upon my return home I missed my match box It was a little silver affair, of small in- trinsic value, but cherished on account of ite associatt: I returned to the club and | instructed the servants to look out for it, as I was sure that I had lost or nuislaid it there. back home again I hap- pened to pick up a paper from the table in my room, Jo, and behold, there was the missing match safe shining up at me. Five days sfterward I lost the safe again. I can almost swear that in the interim I | had not been at.the University Club. I | know I didn’t go there for two days after I missed the box the second time, anyhow, but when I did one of the walters came up to me and said that my match box had been found, and in a few moments brought it to me. Of course, I was thunderstruck. and the only way I can explain it is that I went back te the club after I had re- ported the supposed loss of the box the first time and lost it so that it might be found. Bully Jenks, who knows everything, has told me a whole lot about astral in- fluences and thought transferrence and a lot of other rot, and I am thinking about gceing to Madame Blavatsky’s secretary and having the proslem of that box further elucidated.” “There seems to be a prevailing impres- sion that the militia of a state cannot be depended upon to quell a riot such xs those which grow out of labor troubles and strikes, and which are participated in by the civil acquaintances of the soldiers them- selves,” George Carr of Cincinnati, at the Arlington yesterday. “The idea se2ms to be that the soldiery will uot fire upen the mob should the emergency arise when such a serious action would become ne.es- ‘ary. This was undoubtedly true in the almost all the states has had something to do with putting down riots, I con't believe that there would be any hesitancy on the part of state soldiers to carry cut extra orders if they were given by their com- wanding ofMficer. I was a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard during the riots of 1877. I was taught by my experi- ence at that time that no matter how hor- ible it seemed to the National Guardsmer to fire into the mob the members of the latter body did not cherish any responsive sentiments of the same sort. Against our ranks, at that time on one occasion, they kept up a continuous volley of missiles of all sorts, while firearms were frequently used, and they seemed to desire our anni- hilation in spite of their friends among us. When the order was given to fire is was as quickly rescinded, but I venture to say that every man in our command would have been firing yet if the ammunition had | held out, and the order had not been ccuntermanded.” SaaS PIERCE.
