The Existing Lines. Nineteen trans-Atlantic cables have been laid thus far, but not a single trans- Pacific cable. Four of the trans-Atlantic cables were downright failures, and some of the others have fallen into more or less eisuse, the companies owning them having laid duplicate lines, with more satisfactory results. The Anglo-American Telegraph Company now operates five trans-Atlantic eables—four from Valentia, Ireland, to Heart's Content, Newfoundland, and an- ether from Minou, near Brest, France, to the Island of St. Pierre, south of New- foundland. The Commercial Cable Com- pany has three trans-Atlantic cables—two from Waterville, Ireland, to Canso, Nova Scotia, and one from Ballingskelligs Bay, _ > — Ireland, to Canso.

The recent petition of the Ha- lease to a tish a favorable indorsement, has resulted in emphasizing two important facts: First, the vigorous opposition of the whole Amer- fean people to a British cable from Hawall, and s |. their equally strong desire for an American cable from Hawaii to San Francisco. A Hawailan cable means a trans-Pacific cable eventually, for a south- ern link already exists from Australia to the Fij is, and it$ continuation to Hawail, and the extension of the American cable onward to China and Japan, are beund logic to follow soon, for commer- cial reasons. Although the proposition, which is a part of the diplomatic and con- sular appropriation bill, as passed by the Senate, authorizing the President to con- tract for the to Hawaii at this Con- ent for it sr almost throug’ as th: bly cannot deferred beyond the next Congre. at farthest. Cost of the Cable. The present cost of ocean cables, for me and is about $1,200 per lirear mile, and according to the govern- ment su made in 1891 by the hydro- graphic office of the Navy Department, the best Hawaiian cable route ascertained, that one lying within a favorable natural | Tane 300 miles wide, with oozy bottom, from Salinws Landing, Monterey bay, C: to Honoluin, covers a distance of 2,107 miles by @ rhumb line. Hence at that rate the cost of making and laying the Ha watian cable would be and al-| lewing $ as expenses for equipment, nehises and unforeseen exi- total cost would be $3,000,000— the pre limit of cost fixed in the item incorporated in the diplo jie and consular bill as it passed the Senate in 1891, at the second session of the Fifty-tirst Congress, but which the House rej that time the sions, , the conces: genci able has w strong, the nts in Ha during the past g illustrated the nec Cin ar. commun 3 now agree with Biain’ ssident Harrison, $ ard and Sceretary T: voeating an Americ an cable.

Considerable activity has recently been manifested in private cable-laying, both in the Atlantic and elsewhere, despite the wide-prevailing depression in business. Lost summer the Commercial Cable Com- pany laid a new line across the Atlantic between Ballingskelligs Bay, Ireland, and Canso, Nova Scotia, and the Anglo-Ameri- can Telegraph Company laid an additional cross the tic fi Vaientia, land, to Hear ‘ewfoundland. ted so whatever veral ne Besid these in the quietly that they created r in the business or news world— aller tines were laid in the far western cific at about the same time; one from .

The necessary sur- '$ have been completed to carry these links on to the Samoan Islands, lying to the northeast; and it is with a view of continuing these lines still further to Ha- wail, or its neighborhood, and_ thence to Vancouver, that the recent efforts were made to secure the assent of the United States to the landing of this British cable | on Hawaii. | The present prices of cabling to and from the United States and China, Japan and Australia, by means of European and Asi- | atic cables working eastward instead of westward, are exceedingly high, but they cannot be regarded as excessive when it is remembered that the messages have to be ed several times in transit and sent vast d ces across territory where intenance of the lines is highly ex- For instance, a message from ind, New Zealand— sts $286 per word, and Is sent first to New York, then to London and then forwarded successively over the lines of the great sgraph Company and the great tension Telegraph Company to Bombay, Singapore, Adelaide From New York e rate is $2.74 per word, and from Chicago, Louis and New Orleans it Is 6 cents more. Messages from San Francisco to Yokohama, Japan, cost rd by way of the Atlantic, Eastern Sastern Extension cables, and to Hong Kong, $2.08 per word. From Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans to the same places the rates are 8 and 6 cents less, re- spectively, and from New York, 14 and 12 cents less, respectively. Enemies to Cables. It does seem absurd, at the close of this nineteenth century, that a message cannot be sent direct across the Pacific from San Francisco to China or Japan, but must first traverse the continent of America eastward to New York, then the Atlantic ocean, then the Mediterranean sea and Red sea, then the Indian ocean and finally skirt the eastern shores of Asia before reaching its ultimate destination. Ccunting in all the Atlantic, Mediter- ranean, Indian ocean and smaller cables under all the seas and bays of the world, there are just 1,220 separate and distinct ocean cabies extant, with an aggregate length of 175,000 miles, sufficient to girdle the earth seven times. Cables have many enemies, both in the depths of the sea and at the shore ends. Great damage has resulted to them from the ravages of certain little marine animals that seem to have a particular affinity for the hempen sheathings and gutta-percha insulator There have been cases where cables have been severed by sharks and sword fishes, and one instance is recorded where a break was caused by the entangiement of a huge whale in a loose portion of a cable that hung between steep slopes of the sea hed. metimes, owing to lack of sufficient “slack,” the cables become suspended over k and are gradually worn until the galvanic currents escape Si ledges of r away Ss bmarine voleanoes are a great menace cal and a number of such nown to exist in the Pactfic route selected ble from San Francisco to Hono- t the survey conducted by the ¢ office showed that these can be avoided in laying the line, and no ger need be apprehended from that ‘ce.

A Remarkable Cearch With an Enter- prising Pastor—Baptist Growth in South Washington. The growth of the Baptist Church In South Washington will be exemplified in a striking manner by the ceremonies and services to be held in that section tomor- row. By means of all day services the Kendall branch of the Calvary Baptist Church takes possession of the old tab- ernacle building at 9th and B streets southwest, which has been practically re- Luilt and remodeled to meet the growing needs of a thriving church. Baptists frem all over the city will be present to lend their encouragement to the new establish- ment. The building, which will hereafter be devoted to the Baptist denomination, was built first for the Independent Church and afterward passed into the services of the Congregational denomination. From Small Beginning. |» Away back in 1NGs, through the benefi- cence of Amos Kendall, Postmaster Gen- eral, and also a member of Calvary Bap- tist Church, a lot was purchased on the corner of 13! and D southwest for the establishment of a Baptist mission school. Mr. Kendall also endowed the mission with a fund of $5,000 for its permanent support. For twenty-two years the work had been carried on simply as a mission school. For a long time it had been felt by the home church and the workers in the mis- sion that more effective and lasting work could be done by organizing a church. With . Calvary “Baptist Church in- Theron Outwater of Elizabeth, N. J., to come and look over the field. After a visit to the mission and seeing its prospects, he decided to come and cast in his lot with the workers of Kendall Mis- sion. Vited Rev. Charter Members. Eight months after the commencement of his labors, November 28, 18S, the fol- lowing members of Calvary Baptist Church became the charter members of the Ken- dali branch: C. A. Muddiman, Mrs. C. A. Muddiman, A. P. Rider, M A. FP. Rider, J. H. Merriam, J. W. Talbott, Glen T. Jones, Mi: Susie E. Win- gate, Mrs. Mary C. Curpenter, Theophi- lus Bray, Theron Outwater, J. C. Stewart, Mrs. Bertha Kendrick, Geo. H. Bryant, Mrs. Geo. H. Bryant, Mrs. Lucy Pitts, Miss Clara Moonis, Miss Nettie Neitzey, Mrs. R. Rush, Miss Elnora De Shazo, Mrs. The- ron Outwater, Mrs. Virginia T. Bailey, Mrs. J. W. King, Mrs. H. H. Talbott and Miss Sarah Brad: After the organization a call was extended to Rey. Theron Outwater to become the pastor of Kendall branch of Calvary Baptist Church. After seven years of united work of pas- tor and people the branch has outgrown its present home, the chapel becoming too small. From the original twenty-five mem- bers it has grown to a membership of one hundred and eighty-eight. Constant Work. The Sabbath school, under the continued superintendency of Mr. Glen T. Jones, has over 300 names on its roll. The primary department is under the successful manage- ment of Mrs. H. C. Pearson and num- bers one hundred scholars. Few pastors have labored more successfully and more constantly than Rev. Outwater. During his ministry at Kendall 271 have been add- ed to the church, 115 of which have been by baptism. In his work as pastor he has also been aided by the faithful and earnest help of his devoted wife, who has been no small factor in Kendall's prosperity Baptist Church, the parent cr- has always shown its ‘ender this enthusiastic section of its aiding by sympathies and ganization, regard for organization, means. New Building. With the progressive work at the mission it was readily seen that the old buildiag and location were inadequate. The Cal- aptist Church Extension Society, of ich Mr. S. W. Woodward is president, acting with committee from their branch church, purchased the commodious taber- nacle edifice at 9th and Lb streets south- ‘st, with the furniture and valuable cr- n, for less than $16, This acquisi- tion gives Kendall ¢ a handsome heme. Since the purchase of the property Rev. Theron Outwater. numerous repairs and alterations have been made. The primary class room has been enlarged, a baptistry has been put in, the ceiling and walls frescoed and the front painted and other necessary =epairs made. Opening Exercises. Tomorrow, {t being just seven years lacking two days since Pastor Outwater came to look over the field, Kendall Church will occupy their new home on 9th strect. It will be a Baptist day in South Wash- ington, for it is expected that Baptists frem all sections of Washington will wend thelr way to the locality and join with Paster Outwater and the members of Kendall Church in celebrating the opening exe It will be an all-day celebration, begin- ning with a prayer meeting in ‘the old chapel at ) a.m.; at 9:15 a.m. the Sab- bath school will convene for the study of the lesson, after which, at about 10 o'clock a.m., the’ scholars and members of the church, headed by their pastor and Sab- bath school superintendent, will form in line and march to their new home. Dr. S. H. Greene, pastor of Calvary tist Church, will prea 11 o'clock. In the afternoon at 3 0’ there will be a union service, at which the following Baptist pastors are expected to ake add Revs. Chas. H. Stakely, C. Meador, J. J. Muir and Green Clay Smith. It is also expected that the choir of Calvary Baptist Church will be present at the afternoon union services. At 6:45 the Young People’s Christian Endeavor Society will assemble in the prayer meeting room; :30 the pastor will preach, preceded by You don’t drink cocoa Because you can’t digest it. JLLIP LOCO.

One factor has been the effective and earnest work of the Christian Endeavor Society. It has been an active organigation ever since its inception, and has been the means of aid- ing the pastor in many ways. Miss Mary Burgess is its president. The success of the ‘whole enterprise !s due to the devotion and loyalty of all the earnest workers who have wrought in this field for the past twenty-eight years. The officers of the church are: Rev. Theron Out- water, pestor; Theophilus Bray,clerk #Chas. A. Muddiman, treasurer; Glen T. Jones, Sunday school superintendent; A. P. Rider, James H. Grant, J. E. Talbott and Glen T. Jones, Cee IN THE CHURCHES At a recent meeting of the subscribers to the building fund of Calvary Baptist Church Extension Association reports were made by the president, S. W.. Woodward; the treasurer, Chas. H. Ruoff, and a short address was made by the pastor, Dr. Greene. Two years ago in January, on an appeal from the pastor, a subscription of $150,000 was made, to be paid in five years, for the exteasion of the work of the church. More than $60,000 of the subscriptions have been paid in, which is a little more than the amount due if the payments were divided equally during the five years. There is not a dollar of floating indebtedness on the building. The reports also showed the purchase of the Tabernacle Church proper- ty, on 9th between B and C southwest, which Kendall Church will soon occupy for a permanent home. This was secured for $15,700. It was also stated that early in the com- ing spring work will be begun on the home church edifice. The organ has been sold and a contract let for the construction of a new one to be built in the east end of the church. This will be one of the very best instruments in the city. Galleries are to be run on the west end and north and south sides of the church; new pews are to be put in; new carpets laid; a new bap- tistry built, and every improvement made which is demanded to accommodate the large congregations. Arrangements had been made to install the new pastor of the West Washington Lutheran Church, at 32d and I streets, Rev. Stanley Billheimer, last_ Monday evenirg, but owing to the insufficiency of the heating apparatus the ceremony has been postponed until milder weather. The program of installation was to have been participated in by nine local Lutheran pastors, including charges to people and pastor by Rev. Drs. Domer and Butler. Rev. Stanley Billheimer is from Gettys- burg., Pa., and succeeds Rev. Mr. Nixdorf, who has ret!red to his home in Virginia. As the date for the annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, March 6, approaches, the local ministers are mak- ing haste to get in all their foreign mis- sionary contributions, and complete the re- ports of their respective churches for in- spection. In a short while improvements will be made in St. Patrick's Church. The walls will be frescoed and the sacristy enjarged. In addition, plans have been prepared for a fine new altar, and an organ of the latest type will replace the ‘olé one. A choir composed of thirty or thirty-five men and boys is being trained)and will sing for the first time on March #. — Monday evening Metropolitan Chapter of the Epworth League held its second annual oratorical contest in the lecture room of the church. The musi¢ consisted of solos by Miss Dexter and Miss Phillips and a s lection by a male quartet. Prof. A. Lacy Sites had as his theme “Wanted— Power;” C. E. Howe, “America for Amer- icans,” and M. W. Twitchell spoke about “An Oppressed Nation.” Prof. Sites won the contest. ‘The. judges were, on thought, Rev. J. H. McCarty, A. T. Stuart and Mrs. Samuel L. Detler; and on Johnsoh, Miss Hattie Walker and Prof. Brambaugh. Metropolitan peo- ple regard Mr, Sites agia sure winner of the District annual contest, which comes off in the early part, of March.

The pounds in silver have been distributed among the destitute and the provisions were siven to the Deaconess Home for distribution. The Young Ladies’ Sodality of St. Domi- nie’s Church recently clected officers as follows: President, Miss Mary Conno vice president, Elizabeth Doyle; se retary, Miss Mary Johnson, and treasurer, Miss Minnie Hessler. Rev. Dr. Samuel Domer of St. Paul's Ehglish Lutheran Church was a guest a portion of this week of Prof. Turner, principal of the Lutherville, Md., Female Seminary, where he delivered an address before the young ladies of that institu- tion last evening. The fourth quarterly conference of the North Capitol M. E. Church recently clect- ed church officers for the ensuing year as delivery follows: Trustees, Theodore Hodes, N. Bunch, W. B. Creecy, J. _F. Clark, H. C. Hutson, A. M. Laing, J E. Evans, Owings and Arthur Stocker; stewards, Messrs. Fisher, Ayres, Symonds, Hutso King, Rentz, iamson; recording stew ard, John E. Slick, and district steward, John E. Evan Resolutions were adcpted requesting the retention for other year of the pastor, Rev. Cha: Pate, and of the presiding elder, Rev. Luther B. Wilson, L Dr. The pastor's report showed that over $5,500 were paid on the church “indebtedness during 1804, com pletely wiping out the floating debt and leaving an indebtedness of $10, The money amounted to ress of the church’s quota, $150 over that of last year’s contribution. In January, 1894, there were in the Dis- trict of Columbia thirty-four junior C._E. Societies, with a membership of about 1,700, and in January, 1895, there were forty- seven junior societies, with a membership of about 2,600, ‘The report of St. Augustine’s parish for the year states that the entire receipts $16, ", and $ excluding interest, Improvements cost 160 was paid on the chu: leaving $4 debt, yet to be paid. January 23 ety was organized in the Episcopal Church a Christian Endeavor Soci- of the Nativity, and on the 27th, another at the Church of the Redeemer, both thes being Philadelphia churches. ‘The Chri: tian Endeavor movement has only succeed- ed of late years in gaining a foothold in the Episcopal church. A soclety may be organized in a Washington church of that denomination. The Methodists of the city are realizing the great need for a large church of their denomination in the ‘fesklence portion of the northwest, and they have decided to take steps preliminary to the erection of an edifice in the neay fyture.

Officers have been elected in the En- deavor Society of the First Methodist Protestant Church, as follows: President, W. J. Brever; vice president, Mrs. S. M. Hartley; recording secretary, Miss Geneva Thompson; corresponding secretary, Miss Annie Rowe, and treasurer, Mrs. Jessie Gates, who was also selected as the super- intendent of the junior society. Dr. Thornton Samson of Fredericksburg, Va., is in the city as the guest of Rev. Dr. A. W. Pitzer, and will make an ad- dress before the Laura Pitzer Missionary Society of the Central Church. Dr. Samson was the last missionary in Greece of the Presbyterian Church. The natives are now regarded as capable of carrying on the work themselves. At the annual meeting of the Methodist Union, which took place Tuesday evening last at Foundry Church, Rev. Dr. L. T. Widerman, chairman of the reception mittee, presided. A report was received from the treasurer, Mr. T. B. ‘Towner, showing that the union had ~ ed for various purposes — $5,:i00 the year IS)b Of this $1,500 went to the Home for the Aged, and $3,500 to the relief of North Capitol Church. A report was also received from President G. W. F. Swartzell detailing the various efforts of the union in carrying on the work and containing many suggestions of plans dur- ing the coming year. After these reports Bishop Hurst made a stirring address. He claimed after such a report, the cry of hard times seemed to have effected Washington Methodism very little, and predicted that the missionary collection would surpass any previous year. He also urged that the churches pool their debts and make a determined éffort to pay the whole $55,000, This may be done, he said, by fixing a collection Sunday and ap- portioning the entire amount among the various churches. Mrs. D. B. Street also reported $1,500 raised solely through the board of lady managers of the Home for the Aged. After these reports were all in, refreshments were served in an adjoining room by a committce of ladies. The recent mezting of the _superin- tendents of the Junior Christian Endeavor Scciety was cne of the most interesting they have ever had. In a short time plans for the Children’s Summer Home will have been perfected, and the work of getting subscriptions commenced. Rev. Dr. Elliott of Ascension Church has recovered fiom the injury to his ankle of seme years’ standing, and has been able to attend to his parochial duties this week for the first time in four or five months. The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Ninth Street Christian Church gave a pound scclable Tuesday, the 12th instant, for the benefit of the poor. A literary program was rendered, and refreshments were serv- ed. Quite a liberal sum in money was ccntributed, besides a large quantity of provisions. Rev.

There are thin lips, sharply drawn down at the corners, rather bloodless and pale. They belong to men and women whose views are narrow and unchangeable, whose sympathies are not to be aroused by any meens. They are self-righteous people, and as obstinate as human beings can be. A woman with a mouth of that type may prociaim, as far as her words can reach, that she bolieves in wifely submission and feminine yielding, but she will have her cwn way all through her life. She is likely to have certain virtues, to be sure. She “will be economical, pious and proper. Her husband is not likely to be brought to bankruptey, or to the divorce courts by her, but she will lead him sometimes to ish for either of these varieties in the rigidity and monotony of existence.

Mr. Glider Tells in Confidence the Way His Grandfather Made Them, “The sherry cobbler appears to be making its appearance again at those delightful houses where afternoon receptions are not confined, as to their refections, to weak tea and stale salted crackers,” said Mr. Glider the other night, with a look of Pleasant retrospection in his eyes. “Now the glorious drink can be made the most abhorrent affair to an artistic palate that one could dream of, but prepared by a master it is as inspiring as the eyes of the dainty woman who gracefully hands you the glass. My maternal grandfather was famous in his day for the perfection of his sherry cobblers, and if you promise not to divulge his secret I will give it to you, for I have it here written in an angular hand that looks very much like my dear old grandmother's. The proportions are for a galion of cobbler, and here they are. I have, by the way, changed the proportions of sugar to lumps of the cut variety, as nothing but cut sugar should ever be used in sweetening drinks containing wine. Take, therefore, thirty pieces of cut sugar and dissolve them in two tumblers of water. Squeeze four lemons in ancther tumbler and remove all the seeds and small pips. Squeeze the julce of two oranges in another tumbler and scrape the pulp into the glass 1. Put the sweetened water into the ; add the lemon and stir thoroughly. Then with a sharp knife scrape the peel of a lemon gently over the mixture, and cut from it a few small slices without the in- ner meat. Add the crange and stir rapidly. Then get your sherry. Let it be the best obtainable and a full pint. Trickle it into the bowl, stirring gently with a spoon. Put the mixture aside until you have beaten up enough ice to fill your gallon bowl as finely as you can; until it looks like snow, and drop it in. Cut a lemon in thin slices and two oranges in thicker ones and put the pieccs in. Then slowly agitate the cobbler for a few moments with a tablespoon.
