Barry, Has Built Up the Church at That Point—Other Notes of a Local Interest. There is a feeling in Tenleytown akin to mourning that has been aroused through the action of the archbishop of the dio- cese in ordering Father John M. Barry, for six years the pastor of St. Anne's Catholic’ Church, to a new field of labor, namelf, at Petersburg and Brunswick, Md., where he will exercise a pastorate over the connected St. Francis and St. Mary Missions. So objectionable is the removal of Father Barry to his parishfoners that they will meet tomorrow at ncon to draft a formal communication to the governing head ask- ing for their pastor's retention. Father Barry has been known among the citizens of Georgetown as the “hust- ling priest,” his improvements at Tenley- town evidencing really wonderful business foresight and executive ability. When he took charge of St. Anne's it was almost impcverished. The congregation was small and the interest in the church’s progress smaller. The parsonage was a little frame of three or four rooms adjoining the post office. Everything was primitive. The new pastor was possessed of youth, activity, persuasive power, eloquence and all around hustle, and he immediately set to work to practically apply his gifts for the benefit of the parish. First the debt on the church was canceled through the Increase of the congregation, consequent larger col- lections and fairs, etc. Then he built a town hall, and used it as both a school house and place of congregation on enter- tainment occasions. The school member- ship mcreased. Then through clever finan- cial engineering he bought and subdivided an eight-acre tract of land, splendidly sit- uated. It is known as John M. Barry’s subdivision of “Friendship.” This he sold off in lots, making enough for his church to purchase a nandsome site south of the town hall, and 0} t the handsomest parsonage this Rock creek, being of white stone, ample and thoroughly convenient. in the meantime Tenleytown, as a whole, was being built up througn his efforts. eight-acre tract with one small shanty has become the site for twenty or thirty of the finest houses in the place. All this Father Barry has accomplished in six years. His prospective charges at Petersburg and Brunswick are old and need more attention than Tenleytown did on his entrance th In addition to his Tenleytowa church, Father Barry has ex astoral con- trol over St. Gabriel's, at Falls, where he pr d every other Sunday Father Barry belongs to the secular order of priests. His aged mother has for some ided with him at Tenleytown. Father Barry’s successor will be Father Mallon of St. Andrew’s Church, Baltimor He is spoken of as a priest who has a complished much in the way of building up congregaticris, Lodge Entertainments.

Seat be he Christening of a Ship. ‘Yo the Editor of The Evening Stat “I christen thee St. Louis!” slam, bang, crash, and the golden wine splashe? in sparkling liveliness and fragrant aroma from the hand of the Queen of America, as the greatest merchant steamship slowly, pacificaily and tranquilly glided from the high stocks down the incline plane from terra firma, and with a thrilling surge dropped into the water a new-born child of Ameridan industry. Committed thus to deep water, it is a pretty sentiment—not superstitiousness—to perform this ceremonial christening with this committal, amid the shouts of thou- sands, salutes and thundering artillery, the St. Louis was launched. The enthusiasm of seeing so grand a sight is almost inde- scribable. No wonder the gifted Long- fellow wrote so glowingly of “The Launch of a Ship,” for all can chime in thought his poetic words: ‘She starts, she moves, she seems to feel he thrill of life along her keel, And spurning with her, foot the ground, With one exultant, joyous bound She leaps into the ocean's arms.” But now breaks forth a choir of voices from Maine to the Mississippi in denunci- ation and anathema of the lovely lady for having performed a so-called intemper- ence act. How? wherein or whereby? These “temperance” ladies and associa- tions, now denouncing this act, have here- tofore boasted of being wine spillers them- selves. They should rejoice that one more bottle of the nocuous or innocuous bev- erage was spilled. So this seems foolish. It was but a short time ago that the good people of Brooklyn, N. Y., declared against these emotional, yet beautiful lines of Longfellow being learned or read in their public schools as being too indelicate and amorous in expression. Is the world growing better or worse? The act of christening, however, is the question, or of a dedication of a'ship to the good luck of fate cnd the protection of Providence. 1f the poetical analogy 1s too delicate, and if the wine must go, why not resort to and solely christen with water. We use water only in our churches. I wish to cite a beautiful ceremony bearing upon this point, at which I was present a short while ago, at a launch in Bath, Me. Devoted to the industrial cguse of ship- building, and having written so much in behalf thereof, it was nevertheless my first experience aboard a launch of a big ship, and the impressive and exceptional dedica- tion thereof was so interesting that I wish to preserve its record, as it seemed so much more appropriate to christen a noble ship with divine blessing than by the meaningless act of breaking a bot- ue of wine over her deck, a Jewish custom at a marriage feast. As the beautiful Ship Three Marys start- ed upon its to be tempest-tossed experi- ence the Right Rev. James Augustin Healy of Portland, Me., offered the follow- ing prayer. The prayer was so beautiful and service so solemn that I solicited from the cour- teous and genial bishop the translation, verbatim: The blessing—-The Lord be with you and with Thy Spirit. Let us pray. Lend ear O Lord, to our supplications and with Thy holy right hand bless this ship and all whom she may carry as Thou did’st deign to bless the Ark of Noah when cast in the flood. Support her © Lord, with Thy right hand as Thou did’st support the blessed Peter on the water, and send Thy Holy Angel from Heaven to deliver and guerd her from every danger, fogether with all she carries; and having overcome all dangers of the sea, may’st Thou direct Thy servants, her sailors into safe harbor and guide her in a safe course, and _ her voyage is ended and her duties charged may’st Thou deign to bring to home port in safety and prosperity. Thou who lived and reignest with Father in unity with the Holy Ghost, ever and ever. Amen.

Christopher Columbus had each of his three caravels, Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, religiously blessed by his friend,the priest of Queen Isabella, as he was about to sail from Spain in August, 1492, in search of a western land. Good luck to the St. Louls, and to the Cramps, and all American shipbuilders. “Sail forth, into the sea, American ship, Through wind and wave, right onward steer.” CHAS. 8, HILL, ———— A Diphtheretic Reminiscence. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Among the little speeches made by rest- dents of Mt.Pleasant and Columbia Heights over the trouble as to the site for a con- tagious hospital, publishes! in your paper ot November 28, 4s one by Mrs, John A. Lo- Ban, that lady saying that “none of our + hospitals would turn away any disease- afilicted patient, and that the Commisston- ers could not, therefore, make the proposed hospital one ‘only for cases of minor con- tagion.” Now, I am sure Mrs. Logan must have been out of the city in the summer of 1890, und some of the others present must have forgotten it entirely—all of them were not likely absent—for it was then that a very nice young man, for years a resident of this city, was taken sick at his boarding house with diphtheria and was taken by a friend in a carriage first to one and then the other of our hospitals, but ui refused to take the poor sufferer in, and he said to his friend: “For God's sake, are they go- ing to let me die on the street here? Was finally driven to the present “pes! house""—a name so repulsive that it ought to be dropped at once—where he was made as comfortable as possible, considering that the place itself was not in readiness for a patient then. A few days later the poor man was taken to the Freedman’s Hospital ( do not know by whom), and there he died. There was some strong language used through the papers by friends of the young man regarding the stand taken by our hospitals in this sad case, but it seems a! forgotten now, for among the “resolve: upon by the citizens’ committee on this matter is one that reads: “Resolved, 4th, That there is no pressing need of a hospital for the treatment of minor con- tagious diseases, such as diphtheria and scarlet fever.
