Energetic measures are being taken in Paris to put a stop to the coloring of lob- sters and crayfish which goes on at the great central markets. Pots of red paint have been seized, and the vendors of the too-brilliant-looking shellfish have been prosecuted in the police court for fraud by adulteration. The object of coloving the lobsters is, of course, to give them an appearance of freshness after they have been in stock for some time. An amasing scene was witnessed in the police court when a whole crowd of voluble and ex- cited fishwives were arraigned. Some of them declared that even experts cannot tell whether or not lobsters are fresh. One of them went so far as to affirm solemnly that certain customers prefer their shell- fish “high,” which gave the magistrate an opportunity for a little joke to the effect that only “‘faisans” (pheasants) are good “faisandes” (high). The women were sen- tenced to six days’ imprisonment each and a fine of 50 francs. ——_+e+______ He Was Just in Time. From the Dallas Times-Herald. A husband who had been out shooting, but who had not been successful, rather than return home empty handed stepped into a shop and purchased a hare. “There, he said to his wife, on return- ing home, “you see I am not so awkwar: with the gun, efter all.” “Let me see. “Isn’t he a fine fellow?” “My dear,” said the wife, as she carried the animal to her nostrils, and put it down with a grimace, you were quite right in killing him to- tomorrow it would have been too A Few Cents’ my ducky, th gay, from J.

OFFICERS OF THE SOCIETY T HE CORNERSTONE of the New. Church house of worship now being erected at the corner of 16th and Corcoran streets will be laid with ap- propriate religious services, to be ?on- ducted by the Rev. Frank Sewall of this city, assisted by the Rev. Wm, L. Wor- vester’ of Philadel- phia and other visit- ing ministérs, 6n Wednesday next at 1 o'clock p.m, : The New Church organization in this country dafes back over a century. The movement in this vicinity began in West- noreland county, Va., and in Baltimore, chiefly among members of the Church of England, ribtavly among these being the Rey. Jacob Duche, the first chaplain of the Continental Congress. Sermons were preached at the national Capitol in Wash- ington before the President and Congress in the years 1802 and 1804 by the Rev. John Hargrove, the pastor of the newly formed organization in Baltimore. The Washing- ton Soctety of the New Jerusalem was formed in 1841, and has enjoyed the suc- cessive pastorates of Rev. Rufus Dawes, Rev. Jabez Fox, Rev. E. D, Daniels and the Rev. Wm. B, Hayden. ‘The present pastor, Rev. Frank Sewall who is also the general pastor of the Mary Jand Association, is a native of Bath, Me. Graduating at Bowdoin College, he spent several years in Europe in study, chiefly at the versities of Berlin and Tubingen. At the latter he enjoyed the society and special direction of the learned Dr. Im- manuel Tafel, professor of philosophy anit librarian of the university, who was the chief editor in Europe of the writings of Ep-anuel Swedenborg. Returning to this country and receiving his ordination in 1863, he accepted a pastorate near Cincin- vati for several years, and then was called to the presidency of the N Chureh Col- lege in Urbana, Ohio, where he remained for sixteen years, during which time he the its buildings and Resigning the presi- raised a considerable endowment for and college extended teac porary pastorate in Glasgow, Scotland, and ‘om there he went with his family to the continent for a season of trv vel and study, from which he was called to assume a pas- torate of the New Church Society in Washington. The same year—ISs)—the former edifice of the soclety on Capitol Hill was burned to the ground and the gen- eral convention of the New Church in America, meeting that year in Wasling- ton, took measures locking to the erection, by’ co-operation of New Churchmen throughout the country, of a new house of worship. During the five years that have since elapsed a fund of nearly $00,- 000 has been raised for the new structure and fcr the purchase of the valuable site, which has a frontage of 88 feet on 16th street and runs east on Corcoran 110 feet to an alley. The massive foundation of Potomac blue stone is already laid, the ground having been broken for the excava- tion on Wednesday, October 24. Meanwhile, the church has been wor- shiping under the Rey. Mr. Sewall’s minis- try in the rented chapel on Dupont Circle until the present winter. It has removed to a commodious hall in the National Law School building on 13th street just below I. Description of the Building. The style of the New Church edifice will be English perpendicular Gothic, and the material Indiana limestone of light gray tint. The frontage on-16th street is 560 feet, and the depth on Corcoran street 110 feet. The ground plan shows an auditor- ium, 47x64 feet, with three spactous ves- tibules, an eastern apse for chancel, 20x24, and a transept to the south, 10x30, com- municating . with, Sunday school building. The tower will be on the/northwest cor- ner, 18 feet square, 2 feet to top of par- apet, and 18 feet to top of spire. The tower vestibule will contain a stairway to gallery, across tne west end, which will open into the auditorium by three large circles. The ‘height of the auditorium under the ridge will bei45 feet, and to the eaves 26 feet. @n-the north of the chancel will be the pastor's reom and committee room, and on the south will be an organ space. A transept gable on the north will con tain a high triple window. The chance will have a vaulted roof of buff brick, with stone ribs, and seven lancet windows, and at the west, admitting light over the gal- lery, will be a large triple window, with rich’ tracery. All the tracery of the win- dows will be of stone, and all of the ar- chitectural features of the chureh, inc! ing piers, capitals, corbels and ribs, wainscoting of the interior and the walls and groined arches of the vestibules, will be of stone and buff brick. The walls will have a sand finish and will be decorated in a warm tint. The stairs, doors and screens will be of oak, and the open. trusses and ceiling of pine. The floor of vestibules and of the chancel will be tiled. The spire will be of copper on an iron skeleton. The building will be heated by a system of steam pipes and fan and will be lighted by electricity. The plan embraces also a Sunday school addition on the south of the transept, 48x 30 feet, in front of which will be an octag- | onal vestibule and staircase hall 16 feet deep. The basement will contain a refec- tory 28x44 feet. On the main floor will be a lthbrary 20x20 and a parlor 23x22. Up- stairs will be the Sunday school room, 25x 44 feet, with class room. H.

The Young People’s Association maintain a free circulating brary of New Church literature and a reading and sales room, in charge of Mr. A. N. Prentiss. Meaning of the “New Church.” This body is called the “New Church,” or “Church of the New Jerusalem,” from its belief in the prophecy in Revelation that the“Holy *City,New Jerusalem,” is not merely a future state in heaven, but that it “comes down from God out of heaven, and is now a new religious state of man. kind on earth. This “making all thing new” is the result of the opening of the inner and divine meaning of the Bible which lies within the “parable” of the let- ter, differentiating it from all other books and constituting its true divinity and in- spiration. In the light of this internal sense, as interpreted by Swedenborg, the fundamental doctrines of Christianity as- sume a broader, more universal, rational and practical form, and appeal to the well disposed of all religions. According to Swedenborg the three es- sentials of the church are a belief in, first, “The Divinity of the Lord;” second, “in the Holiness of the Word,” and, third, “in the Life of Charity.” Upon this broad Mo] catholic charter, it is believed that all to whom a knowledge of the Gospel has come may unite in a new, universal church. Jesus, in His glorified humanity, is regard- ed not one of three divine persons, but as Himself the one divine person “in whom dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodi?: His victory over hell was the re- demption of the human race, and He is the only Savior, because He is the one source of spiritual life and incentive to good in all, of all religions, who, according to the best light they have, are endeavoring to lead a life of obedience to divine law, and of charity with their fellow-man. The spiritual world is regarded as a real worid ef spiritual substance in immediate prox- imity to this, and death is only the waking of man’s spirit into consciousness of that real environment as its eternal home, and the laying aside forever of the coarser en- vironment of a material body and its com- paratively gross plane of sense. ——_ Hunting in Great Brit From the London Telegraph. Although a good many of those whose apparent desire it is to curtail or destroy the sports and amusements of others would have it otherwise, it is a fact that hunting, whether of stag, fox or hare, is in a more flourishing condition at the present moment than it ever was before. There are now 1:0 fewer than twenty-two packs of staghounds in the united kingdom, 183 of foxhounds and nearly 2 of harriers and beagles, while in each succeeding year followers cf hounds get more numerous, until it has actually become a serious question with some masters, How can we keep down vur fields? The cub-hunting season, which is prac- tically at an end, has, exceptin ; with the Earl of Yarborotgh’s and a few other packs, been scarcely so successful as usu- al, owing to the dry state of the ground and the consequent lack of scent; but the great desideratum was rain, and now that we have had that in abundance, the pros- pects of the regular season are rosy. oo Written for The Eveving Star. If Men Were Just. If men were just, and truth their actions swayed, The world ere Paradise were made; A Golden Age, more fair than that of yore Fabled, would flourish, blessing every sho Peace and coutent would every land pervade. ‘The gross deceit that dims the paths of trade, The churches’ brawls, the courts’ chicane were stayed, And politics, now base, were base no more, If men were just. ‘The claims of others and of self were weighed In a true scale; each man his dues were paid; To every virtue open Were t ‘The long, long reign of violence we Crimes would be few, and hatred be It men were’ just.

The opening*of Grace Episcopal Church, cornet of 9th and D streets southwest, for service tomorrow will be an important event in the history of the parish. Morn- ing service will be held at 11 o’clock. The choir of men and boys will be under the di- rection of Mr. J. N. Bundick. The sermon will be delivered by Rev. Dr. Childs of ‘Frinity Church. At 8 p.m. there will be evening service, the sermon by Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith of St. John’s Church. The need of a comfortable and safe church had been pressing. The whole work of the parish was impeded by the want of a parish hall, in which the Sunday school, social meetings, &c., could be held. In June last, with Mr. Glenn Brown as architect, Mr. Joseph Gibbons as builder and Messrs. A. Y. Gray, L. E. Duvall und A. 8. Belote as building committee, repairs were begun on the old church and the foundation laid for a new brick building. Denations of money and material were made and loans secured by the vestry. ‘The old church edifice has been moved about ten feet nearer to D street, which left ample room for the new hall on the south. All the work inappropriate fora church was taken out from the old building and the exterior finished in a design suitable to the material in which it has been built. ‘The lower portion of the walls has been weather-boarded, while the upper hulf has been finished with shingles. ‘The roof and front gable have been slated. Three triple windows have been inserted in each side, and a triple doorway on the 9th street sid A belfry tower has been erected on tl corner of 9th and D streets. The windows and doors have shingled hoods, which are both useful and picturesque. ‘The parish hall is built of brick, the style of the en- trance and the windows being made to con- form with those of the chureh proper. The hall and vestry room have separate en- trances from 9th street. The interior of the church, which had quite a good Gothic open timber roof, has only been changed by replastering, the insertion of the large triple windows and the erection of the new entrance on 9th street. The parish hall contains a rector’s study, choir and organ rooms, as well as Sunday school room.

Cathedral glass windows have been se- lected of simple and harmonious colors. A cellar has been placed beneath the church, in which the heating apparatus Is located. History of the Church. In the year 1850 the locality where the new church now stand was a sparsely settled neighborhood, with fields of wheat and corn. There were no fine streets and parks. About the year 1848 Rey. Alfred Holmead came from Baltimore to build up a church in some part of this city. Look- ing over this section, then known as the “Island,” he decided that no better field for labor could be found. An old one-story frame building, which stood in the middle of Maryland avenue at the intersection of 10th street and about 100 feet north of the present Ryland Chapel, was rented. It contained two long rooms, one occupied by the Island fire engine company and the other used as a school room. It was con- sidered the most desirable place for holding the services of the church. Having secur- ed this building, Mr. Holmead began to look around for families and others who would attend the “meetings.” Success followed these efforts, and soon there were gathered a number of persons, and scrv- fees were held every Sunday. Among the names of these pioneer members were the Thomas family, McGees, Yeatmans, W'll- jams, ‘Taylors, Cooks, Martins, Stones, etc. ‘A Sunday school was established, and many had their first instruction in the little church. The congregation grew in numbers and prominence. ‘About the year 1851 a church was erected on the site of the present structure. It was hard work to obtain means for the payment of the debt incurred, but by per- severing efforts {t was at last paid and the church consecrated. Increase of con- gregation and prosperity followed until the breaking out of the civil war. From this time the numbers of the congregation were on the wane. After the second battle of Bull Run the church was used as a hospital for two years or more. In the meantime as many of the people as possible were brought together and services held elsewhere. Mr. Holmead was rector of the church about thirty-five years, He was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Gilliatt, after whom came Rev. Mr, Lee, and then Rev. John Phillips. The building was damaged and weakened to some extent during its occupancy as a hospital. Several years after this it was cordemned by the city authorities as un- safe, and it was necessary to look else- where for a place for worship. A claim for damages amounting to several hun- dred dollars was paid after a lapse of time. This money was spent in repairing the building and restoring the organ and furniture. Altogether Grace Church has had no easy time in maintaining its .ex- istence. More than once it has been on the verge of dissolution, but always relief has come in some way. Of those who composed the first vestry are recalled the names of Leonard O. Cook, Arthur H. Yeatman, William Roberts and —— Stone. Mr. Yeatman was choirmaster for several years, and was succeeded by his son, Wm. S. Yeatman, who, for more than twenty years, had charge of the music. In April, 1901, Rev. John W. Phillips died, and in November of the same year he was succeeded by Rev. Thomas 0. Tongue, the present rector. —_—-> IN THE CHURCHES. The proposed new Protestant Episcopal diocese wil embrace the District of Colum- bia and the Maryland counties of Mont- gomery, Prince Georg Charles and St. Mary's. So far the committee appointed to raise the necessary fund has received sub- scriptions in the following amounts; $5,000, $2,000, $1,000 and others of lesser amount, all aggregating $10,650. Though the work of the coming convocation, which will meet on Tuesday, the 18th of this month, in Christ Church, East Washington, will be devoted to questions of lesser importance, still it is safe to say that the subject of di- vision will be continually cropping out. The opening service will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning, with Dr. McKim intro- ducing the first subject of discussion, “The Endowment of Churches.” Each church will be represented by one delegate. The annual meeting of the Presbyterian alliance will be held in the Church of the Covenant next Tuesday, services to com- mence at 7:30 p.m. Rev. George M.

Daly is pastor, is rapidly nearing completion, and services were held in the edifice for the first time last Sun- day. The choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church rendered the sacred cantata “Ruth” on the evening of last Friday week. The Tithing Society of Hamline M. B. Church will take charge of a Sunday morn- ing service in that church in the near fu- ture. The date has not yet been selected, but will probably be the second Sunday be- fore Christmas. The Methodist, Congregational and Pres- byterian (colored) churches will tender a reception to the Rev. Alexander Crum- mell, rector of St. Luke's Protestant Epis- copal Church, at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church some time in the near future. The occasion will be the celebration of the fif- Ueth anniversary of Mr.Crummell’s ordina- tion to the ministry. There was an interesting meeting of the Men's League of the First Presbyterian Church last Wednesday evening in the lec- ture room. This is an organization, com- posed of ‘the men of the church, for the purpose of promoting sociability and church loyalty. It meets once a month. Wm. E. Curtis read a paper on his visit to the pope of Rome to secure the Columbian relics for the world’s fair. Rey. Dr. Parkhurst will, in the near fu- ture, deliver an address in this city. Rev.

The Lady of the House Taught a Les- son in Labor Troubles, From the Home Journal. An odd thing happened the other day in a Brookline family—a something which the lady of the house isn’t particularly anx- fous to talk about, especially when her husband is arcund. Not long ago the help in his factory went on a strike, and though they did not remain out long, the affair being mainly “sympathetic,” yet it bothered him quite a bit, to the dislike of his wife. She remonstrated frequently over his silli- ness in allowing svch a small thing to bother him, and guyed him still more when the affair ended amicably. A few mornings later the lady went into her mornin, room and rang the bell to give the cool her day's orders, when, to her astonish- ment, the ring was answered by all the help in the establishment, including the scrub girl and the boy who walked er- rands. The cook was spokeswoman. “If you please,” she began firmly, but respectfully, “we've come to say that we're on a strike. We don’t like what you did in taking away Charlotte's Saturday night out and giving her Mary's Friday. By Mary’s having Charlotte’s Saturday she gets a chance to meet Mrs. Smithe’s Henry, and as Mary’s her rival we don’t think it's giving either of ‘em fair chance. ‘The mistress looked at the company, and saw that Charlotte and Mary were the only two absent; she reflected that she had by no means been aware of what affairs of state she was upsetting in changing the without any particular better to arbitrate than delay lunch, and possibly dinner, so the gracefully acceded to the demands of the assemblage, and restored Charlotte her Saturdays. Still, when any one says strike to her now she shivers. For—‘What is home without a dinner?" Thing. From Life.
