Statement of the Tronbies Which Have Led to Serious Disaffection Between Pastor and Flock. The vestrymen of the Church of the In- carnation, with exception of Mr. J. B. Wimer, today issued to the members of the parish 2 pamphlet containing a state- | ment of thetr side of the controversy with ' the Rev. Dr. Townsend, the pastor of the church. The document is signed by H. H. Lockwood, senfor warden; Hoard Edmonds, treasurer; H. Stanley Hinrichs, registrar F. 8. Bright, Wm. N. Langtree, R. 1 Geare and Wm. A. Harvey. The troubles which have been conyulsing the Incarna- tion parish are so familiar to the public that but a slight resume of the points of difference is necessary at this time. For a long time there have been serious differ- ences between Dr. Townsend and the mem- bers of the vestry, which culminated in the latter body requesting the pastor to ter- minate bis services with the church on May 21 last. Dr. Townsend declined to en- | tertain this invitation, but signified his | willingness to submit the entire matter to Bishop Paret for arbitration, and the latter designated the 2ith of May as the date of the hearing. On that day the members of the standing committee were present as Bishop Paret's advisers, and the vestry of the Incarnation parish were also there with all the books and papers of the par- ish. The charges against Dr, Townsend were filed and the entire matter placed in the hands of the bishop. Bishop Parct’s Decision. As a result of the conference Bishop Paret announced some days later that the standing committee, having by unanimous voice, advised him that the peace and pros- perity of the Incarnation parish would be best ma‘ntajned by the continuance of Dr. Townsend’s pastoral relations, he had de- cided that such pastoral relations between the Rev. Dr. Townsend and the parish of the Incarnation should be continued. In his statement containing his decision the bishop called attention to the fact that at the conference in question two papers had been presented from the communicants of the parish, whose total number is something less than 2). One was a protest signed by 149 communicants, expressing their full approval and affectionate regard for Dr. Townsend and protesting against his res- ignation, while the other was a paper, signed by 102 communing members, re- questing the resignation of the present members of the vestry. In their pamphlet, issued today for distribution among the members* of the parish, and a copy of which has been sent to Bishop Paret, the vestrymen, whose names are given above, take issue with the bishop. Still Confirmed in Their Belief. They state that, admitting the bishop's construction of the question presented to him for settlement to be correct for the sake of argument, the vestrymen still think that they spoke with the voice of the | communicants of the parish. “The rector claimed that less than fifty | communicants of the parish had not signed his protest,” says the pamphlet. “None of | the vestry signed it; fifteen members of the families of the vestry (none of whom signed it) are communicants of the parish, and 123 families, whom the rector last winter considered to belong to the parish, have no representative on this protest. Of the ninety-eight subscribers to current expenses on the books April 1 last, fifty-two did not | sign the rector’s protest, and these gave last year in round numbers $900 of $1,700 contributed to the current expenses by reg- ular subscriptions. “Though the bishop entirely ignored everything submitted by the vestry in sup- ‘port of their position, though he turned | aside from the question which the vestry ‘agreed to submit and decided the case upon @ question not at issue, excepting (as shown by his decision) from his consideration, the only thing the vestry ever intended to submit to him, to wit: The differences be- tween the rector and themselves, and though he decided the case upon a@ state- ment of the rector’s, which the vestry had no opportunity to controvert at the hear- ing, and which, as shown above, was false, still, having agreed to accept any decision the bishop might make, we shall abide by our agreement.” Announcement of Resignations. The gentlemen signing the document an- nounce that they have already resigned from the vestry, their resignations to take effect upon the election of duly qualified successors, as they are unable to follow the alternative suggested by the bishop in his letter containing his decision, which was that if they continue to hold office they sho..d bury all disagreements and loyally ; and kindly count the rector as their leader and follow his guidance and promote his efforts. “It would be hypocrisy for us,” continues the pamphlet, “even to remain in the church, holding the view of the rector that we do, and upon the election of our 5 cessors we shell retire from the’ parish.” In conclusion Warden Lockwood and his associates submit the following statement: fect of the Bishop’s Decision. © ‘hat a majority of the zealous workers in the parish and those best entitled to voice its sentiments were on the side of | the vestry is best demonstrated by’ what has occurred since the bishop's decision. “As stated above, seven of the vestry will leave the parish. “Every one of the fourteen men in vested choir will leave the choir and parish. “The superintendent and one-half of the teachers of the Sunday school have re- signed and left the parish. “St. John’s Ward of the Guild and Choir Guild no longer exist. “All but one of the working members of the Apron Basket Ward (the sewing so- ciety—the women who have done most to keep the parish alive) have left the parish. | ‘Nearly all belonging to the Missionary Society have feft the parish. “More than half the subscribers to cur- rent expenses in both number and amount | have ceased their subscriptions. “The president and about half of the workers in the church's Chapter of the Daughters of the King will leave the the the the Nearly all the members of St. Andrew’s Brotherhood will retire from the church. | _ “We refrain from record, except to brought about b member of the vestry. Mr. Lockwood and his associates ex- press regret that their self-respect will not permit them to remain longer uf@er Dr. ‘Townsend's rectorship, and more especially regret the severance of the firm ties that have so long bound them to the mem- bers of the parish. | a | THE PINE TREE STATE, Daughters of Maine Perfect an Organization, A number of Washington people who claim residence in the pine tree state met Saturday evening in the Washington Loan and Trust building and organized a society, to be known as the Sons and Daughters of Maine.

The time bas come for the regular open- ing of the free bathing beach in this city, but, owing to certain circumstances, it is Probable that this institution will not be started for the season for many weeks to come, unless aid should be given to the en- terprise by the citizens. The Star is in re- ceipt of the following leeter, which is printed as an illustration of the interest taken in the beach by the youthful part of the popu- lation end as a possible incentive to dther contributions: to this project: To the Editor of Tae Evening Star: “Will you please use your influence to stir up interest in the bathing beach? The fail- ure of Congress to allow anything® for the support of the beach practically closes {t to the thousands of us boys who must bathe during the hot weather. The life boat, with its experts, to watch over the safety of all the bathers and the attendants to look after thelr property and behavior cost mofey. ‘The beach is now established, but without the proper attendants to keep it in 6tder and to enforce regulations, it ts closed ex- cept to the ‘tough’ element, for parents will not permit their sons to go where they have to take their chances in what Is Iittie/ Letter than a state of anarchy. For $500 the beach can be properly policed and kept cpen all surmmer for the comfort, enjoyment and health of boys who cannot get away from the city. That sum can certainly be raised with ease if the readers of The Star will take an interest in the matter. Will you not open a subscription list for a bath- ing beach fund? I here start the list with a dollar. It will take two weeks to put the beach in order. This wil! just give time enough for the schools to close and thus free the boys for the summer. “GEORGE PASCHAL, Eighth Grade.” There are, it is stated, two large barges sunk in the reservoir, upon the shore of which the beach is located, and there is some dredging to be done before the basin can. be safely used for the swimmers, The wharves need repairing since thé severe storms of last winter, and some of: the! dressing rooms want small repairs. In ad- dition, there is a constant expenditure de- manded by the’current needs of thesbeach, but a few hundred dollars, it is said, will put the establishment in such shape that it ean be safely run throughout the eummer, or at least until Congress shall act favora- bly upon the appropriation that.has been asked. The hot Weather 1s here, and» the schools are about to close for the season. The beach has usually been opened on the Ist of June. at CHILDREN’S DAY. b It Was Celebrated With Services Flowers. Yesterday in a large number of local churches the day was given over to serv- ices made especially interesting to children. Many of the churches were profusely deco- rated with flowers, which were afterward distributed among the hospitals and orphan asylums of the city. Among the churches in which Children’s day was celebrated were all the Lutheran churches in the city, the New York Avenue, the West Street snd the First Presbyterian, the Metropolitan, Mount Vernon Place, the Dumbarton and the Grace Methodist, the First Cong-ega- tional, the Central Methodist Protestant and other places of worship. The day was cele-{ brated in the Lutheran churches of the gen- eral synod throughout the United States. | In this city the collections taken at all of | the churches we-e donated toward the sup- | port of the Tressler Orphans’ Home at Loysville, Pa. —— Horses’ Teeth vs. de Trees. To the Pditor of The Evening Star: I wish to inquire if it is an offense against the law of the District to injure or cause the injury of shade trees on the streets. I cannot belleve it permissible for a person to deliberately girdle a tree, or even wound or bruise its bark, so as to induce rot and decay. But how m.uch less reprehensible {s it for one to do this, indirectly, by leaving his horse to work the same mischief? Cer- tainly, great attention has been given to the planting of trees for ornamentation’ of the streets of Washington. Then, after all SERMONS TO STUDENTS. The Columbian University Baccalau- reate Sermon and at Maryland Col- lege. The members of the graduating class of the Columbian University and the Corcoran Scientific School listened yesterday after- neon to a baccalaureate sermon, which was delivered in the lecture fall of the univer- sity by Rev. J. J. Muir, pastor of the E Street Baptist Church. The president of the university, Dr. Welling, and the mem- bers of the faculty occupied seats on the platform, and the music was furnished by the choir of the E Street Church. Dr. Muir’s theme was the breadth of truth. He sai@ that the scope of the answer to this question” was best described by the werd boundless. At cne time science seemed to make the claim that it hud ex- heausted the fleid of kn ledge, but today its attitude is more different. Science has enly begun her work. The student should mot i @ that he has spoken or can speak the Yast word in any department of Vseful knowledge. As the years multiply ard experience grows, the n of life recedes, its survey becomes vaster and more impossible to compass. He the of the tendency in some minds to th€ Bible lightly, and consider it worthy cnly of @ place among the curiosities of past days. Do not think, said the preacher, that it Is an evidence of smartness to speak disparagingly of the Scriptures. He said that a student in striving after truth should not feel that he is bent on a fruitless search. It the summit of the mountain is not reached, at least the level plateau may be attained, where the great plain of truth stretching away may ut least sive a tree view of the beauties of the celestial city. Rev. T. 3. Hamlin, D. D., the pastor of | the Church of the Covenant, preached the | baccalaureate sermon yesterday to the graduates of the Maryland Agricultural College at the college chapel. His theme Was founded upon the instance in the life of Abraham, where he desired that Ishmael might be ‘the favored one of God. He said that Abraham's hopes had become centered in Ishmael, and he wes satisfied with him. His hopes were crushed when God reminded him that: Ishmael was not the child of | promise, but that that child was to be | Sara's son, and ws still unborn. The good, said the preacher, is always chief enemy to the best. When we have our Ishm: we are content. We prefer a present ceriainty | toa future uncertainty. He said that we do | Not get the best because we are satisfied with our Ishmacl. Instead of accepting | what ts good merely, we should look for | ‘the best. He then made a practical appli cation of this theme, and said to the young men that with life before them, Ishms threatens to rob them of Isaac. He urged them not to be satistied with anything but the best. —_—>—_. COMPLICATED SITUATION, The Guardianship of a Child Rev: a Carious Story. Judge Hagner Saturday afternoon granted the petition of Missoura G. Butler that she be made the guardian of Allie Mary Harris, a little octoroon girl. About the close of the late war a white woman living in Virginia gave birth, it is said, to a mulatto female child. The wo- | man’s grown children threatened to destroy the child, when the mother intrusted it to an old negro woman called Harris. She} raised it as her own, the child reaching wo- | manhood and being known as Fannie Har- ris. She in turn gave birth, out of wed- lock, it was alleged, to the child mentioned | in the petition. To Lucretia Harris, a fos- ter sister of the child's. mother, the chiid was given to be reared, and she the little one believed to be her mother, supposing her own mother to be her sister. Two or three months ago the mother died, and sub- sequently Miss Butler petitioned for the guardianship of the child, basing the peti- tion on the ground that the mother, just be- fore her death, had requested her to take | charge of it. The granting of the petition was opposed by Lucretia Harris, she being | very devoted to the child. | In granting the petition Judge Hagner said that the child was a very bright one, and thought that it would be equally well cared for by either party. She seemed to be equally fond of both, but as the mother had was done, it was necessary to walt for time to vy them growth and symmetry, until now many of tie gre things of beauty, and the le eir spreading branches @ perpeti yy. If one has in his nature fo little Js akin to the sentiment that eries, “Woodmen, spare that tree,” that he leaves the horse he in his care to gnaw and irreparably injure trees, as is frequently done, it seems to me he should be taught the wholesome precepts of'a law outraged by such shameless disregard. Very recently I saw a man, by means of a hitch weight, fasten his hi nf) top beautiful tree, one of a num ‘3 lined the street and em- bellished the’ hodjes* which they severally fronted. Very naturally, the animal at once commenced gnawing, and it took but a few minutes to undo and defeat the work that had cost care, money and patient waiting. ‘The hitherto smooth trunk was left marred and wounded. Of-course, the leaves will not at once wither and fall, but the tree, which was lately an object of pride, fas neverthe- less received its death blows, and, instead of remaining a delight to the eye, becomes unsightly to the end of Its days, which are numbered by lingering but inevitable decay. OBSERVER. — Bladensbarg Snlodns Open on Sunday. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your Saturday's issue it is remarked that Steymayer’s saloon, near Bladens- burg, is op2a on Sundays. It seems odd to single out one bar room as transgressing the law, when it is a rotorioas fact that every grog shop in Bladensburg is in full swing on Sundays, end has been sv for years, and the county officers are well aware of it, too. It is a pity that Gov. Brown of Maryland is blind to the fact that the Sunday liquor law is openly dis- regarded in Bladensburg, and has been so for ycars. Why does he not eompel the county officers to enforce the law, when it is well known that its violation brings frcm Washington every Sabbath an army of disreputable characters, who render it unsafe for the respectable element, espe- cfally ladies, to walk or drive in the vicinity of Bladensburg. Indeed, the railroad sta- tions at Hyattsville and Highlands of a Sunday evening are thronged by drunken rowdies, who use all kinds of profane lat- guage in the presence of ladies, and no at- tempt is made to call them down. J. F. W. 2 > A Suit for Libel. Thomas G. Lansden, at one time super- intendent of the Washington Gaslight Cafn- pany, this afternoon entered suit against the company, charging malicious libel and claiming damages to the amount of $50,000, The plaintiff alleges that he is, and ever has been, a person of truth and honesty, faithful in business and upright in conduct, and that being called as a witness before a congressional committee, he gave certain ‘testimony relative to the cost of gas, &c., in January, 1893. In February last he al- leges that the defendants, wickedly con- triving to injure his good fame and credit and his business of working in the manu- facture of g composed and published in The Progressive Age of New York: city a certain false, scandalous, malicious and defamatory libel, headed “The . Acrobatis Performances of Lansden.”” —_—_——— __ Opposed to Sunday Opening. The proposed opening of museums and other public buildings in this city on Sun- day suggested the theme of a sermon which was delivered last evening by Rev. Dr. Sun- derland at the First Presbyterian Church. He said that he wondered to learn “from the reported interviews of prominent Prot- estant ministers on this question that none! of them seem to have objected to the opon- ing of the public buildings on the Sabbath on the ground that it would be a violation of God's law. There is nothing to be gained | by temporizing with a godless multitude on: this question. The matter proposed is efther | a violation of the decalogue or it is not, and that is the only real ground on which the question should be determined. My judgment {fs that it would be a violation of God's law and an open national sin, insult- ing to God and injurious to mankind.” gee Interstate Democrats. At a meeting of the Interstate Democratic Association Saturday night eighteen new members were elected, including M. S. Thompson of the Navy Department and Logan Carlisle of the Treasury Department.
