While two colored men were engaged in carrying a sewing machine up the stairs at 205! 7th street northwest yesterday morning about 10 o'clock the one in the rear named Gus Fletcher was heard to cry out, and it was seen that he was at- tacked by an epileptic fit.

Th y night there was dedicated to city mission work a one-story frame struct- ure that has been the,scene of many fights and midnight orgies, which is now called the M land Avenue Branch of the Cen- stral Union i but more popularly known as s mission.” It is one of the buildings belonging to the Shea family, which has caused the police so much trouble and has been the scene of raid after raid, as a result of which John Shea is now serving sentence in the District jail for sell- ing liquor without a license. The gospel wagon carried a band of mission workers last night to the corner of the alley where the branch Is located, and fully 1,000 people crowded around it to listen to the words of speakers. E. D. Bailey conducted the services Mr. George W. Wheeler related the history of the movement that culminated in the e ishment of the mission. Lung Ti is Dangerous.

The crowd seemed to one who tried to walk along Pennsyl- vania avenue to consist of ali the popula- tion of the city and a few thousands from Baltimore and the surrounding country. Nor was the crowd large as to numbers alone. It was very large as to enthusiasm and noise. It was patient, and stood the long wait caused by the delay of the train bearing the soldier boys with good nature. ‘There were two reasons why the crowd was large. In the first place, it was the first occasion of the season to persuade the people to throng to the avenue, and they accepted it hungrily. Then the success of the Merton Cadets at Memphis is like a big family affair. These lads are all high school graduates, and that means that they number their friends by the thousands. These friends have other friends in turn, and so on through all the branches of a sort of genealogical tree. Thus nearly everybody on the streets last night took a very nearly direct personal interest in the affair. Frequent squads of gigh school boys, fresh from the enthusiastic scenes of the afternoon's Crills, kept the pot boiling dur- ing the long we They roamed up and down the street, and cheered the flagging spirits of the crowd by their lively spirits. Pretty girls had pinned the colors of the winning team to their dresses, and added to a mighty handsome picture. Matrons with satisfied smiles on their faces awaited the coming of sons whose success was so dear to their motherly hearts. Fathers who were soldiers in earnest themselves once tried to look solemn while they ne- gotiated with the popcorn man or the pea- nut vendor to while away the tedium of the wait, but their hearts could not be re- strained when a glare of red ligit down the avenue finally proclaimed the arrival of the train. Arrival of the Mortons and Fencibles. it was about 10 o'clock when the train reached the 6th street station, and the weary travelers alighted on the platform. The Moztons were the first to form a line. and some of the boys were wondering whether there would be any one on hand to greet them when a cheer went up from the space behind the bars near the waiting room that dispelled every doubt. When Capt. Shilling and his men marched up the platform they were almost carried off their feet by the rush of eager friends, who had been pressing against the bars for nearly two hours. The street was finally reached in safety, however, and the Fencibles came along, just as weary in their bodies as the Mortons, but far more heavy in their hearts, for they had been forced to return without a single honor from the great drill. But they did not begrudge the honors of the occasion to their plucky little com- rades of the long trip, and took their places in the midst of the escorting line in right good style. The turn out of militiamen was some- thing astonishing, when it is considered that the occasion was purely gratuitous. All but two or three companies of the guard responded to the invitation to turn out, and all the separate companies took part in the demonstration with enthusiasm. Col. W. G. Moore commanded the escort, followed by a large committee of citizens and newspaper men. These were attended by. the Henderson Drum Corps in full uni- form, and followed by the first battalion, consisting of the Washington Light In- fantry, under Maj. Burton Ross. Then came the Corcoran Cadets, the second bat- talion, under Maj. E. R. Campbell, and companies B, C and D of the fourth bat- talion. The third battalion, under Maj. Suess, companies C and D of the fifth, and companies A and B of the sixth. The fourth battalion, under Maj. Gil- bert Thompson, made a great showing, with the President's troop, the light bat- tery and the engineer corps, with their miners and sappers. The National Rifles and the Old Guard, preceded by the Mount Pleasant Drum Corps and the Sixth Cavalry Band, formed a special escort to the Fencibles, and then followed the seventh baitalion, under Maj. Wilson, the detached companies of the third battalion, the Lemon Rifles’ Drum Corps, the Business ‘High School Cadets, and the Mortons, the honored drill team, forming the rear guard of the procession, They were escorted by their company of Stay-at-homes with big brooms and white beaver hats. The Parade. When the command was given for the parade te move, the avenue was at once lighted by a glare of Roman candles and sputtering red fires. The crowds yelled, the High School Cadets who were scat- ‘tered along the line leading, girls waved their handkerchiefs, and the matronly and paternal smiles that were eprirkled through the crowd grew broader and more happy. Up the avenue they marched, victors and vanquished, and es- corting troops, the drum corps boys beat- ing their sticks and blowing their fifes and bugles with almost frenzied earnest- ness. Up the line they went, cheered to the echo every few feet, with brooms borne aloft by the winners of the prizes, and with the stay-at-homes of the conquering heroes command happier, if possible, than the prize winners themselves. ‘The Fencibles carried themselves like seasoned soldiers, making a fine appear- ance as they went down the line, the wounds they hid by their outward bearing balmed somewhat by the rousing reception they received at every hand. It was al- mcst as chcering as though they had won the cup. Friends usually know how to prove themselves in times of misfortune, if they be true friends. ‘There were decorations on some of the buildings along the line of march, and red fire and Roman candles were frequent. At the Post building the Mortons had a spe- cial reception from the employes of the United Press, the business associates of Capt. Shilling. When the corner of New York avenue and 7th street was reached the escort drew up in a line along the curb and the returning companies p view, the lire extending to the door of the armory. At the armory there was an informal re- ception tendered the Fencibles by their frierds, headed by a delegation of ladies, with Mrs. Kondrup and Mrs. Dr, Domer as hestesses. Lieut. Mortimer, who had been unable to accompany the command to Memphis, made a brief speech of welcome, end Capt. Domer responded feelingly to the kind words of his comrade. The mis- fortune of the team was referred to, but not desponding!y, and then the reception becam a hi -shaking levee, and was svon ever, The Mortons Entertained. to ers in the armory, but they got as possible, and went to where a supper was waiting for It lasted until far beyond midnight, covers were | for one hundred.

Many Local Notes of General and Es- pecial Interest. At a meeting of the Grand Lodge,Knights cf Pythias, Wednesday evening, Past Grand Master Henry G. Wagner of Georgetown was presented with a handsome Pythian jewel, engraved beautifully and appropri- ately inscribed. This is the first jewel ever presented to a.retiring grand master, and was given in appreciation of the splen- did manner in which Mr. Wagner had guided the order through a particularly troubled administration. The presentation | speech was made by the oldest living P. G. C., Mr. John W. Thompson, who was replied to fittingly and feelingly. At this meeting of the lodge the new Grand Lodge coustitution and grand statutes for the District of Columbia were adopted. Grand Chancellor J. W. Hardell presided on the occasion. Were All Right. The lightning rod men whom Mrs. James Tanner complained of at the station as act- ing suspiciously at her home, on the heights, were brought in yesterday before the leutenant. They explained their ac- tions so satisfactorily, though, and gave such evidences of the legitimacy of their intentions that they were discharged. The men are representatives of a Itimore firm of prominence, and had yesterday proper credentials. Things Were Hot. Charles Burke last night became very turbulent, and attacked a boarder at his mother’s home named P. J. Cooke, a quizt, even-tempered man. He crashed a bucket threw the window and ran at the object 9f his wrath with a knife. Things were steam- ing hot for a time. When the police were sent for they simmered down, and when they arrived a normal temperature had been‘regained. A warrant was sworn out, though, for Burke's arrest. He has been up before for a similar attack, Notes. . The Virginia Memorial Chapter of St. Mary's Guild will hold a Japanese tea this evening at 3017 O street, the place soon to be taken possession of by the District as an auxiliary school. Mr. Charles H. Trunnell had his eye pain- fully injured yesterday by the flying up of a piece of plan’s he was sawing. sega ASCENSION DAY Fittingly Observed by Knight plar Services. _ Ascension day services were observed last evening by the four Knights ‘Templar commanderies of the District—Washington Commandery, No. 1, Eminent Commander A. H. Holt; Columbia, No. 2, Eminent Com- mander F. H. Thomas; Potomac, No. 3, Eminent Commander Webster Vincent,,and De Molay, No. 4, Eminent Commander W. . Galliher. More than 350 sir knights as- sembled in full regalia early in the even- ing at Masonic ‘Temple, and preceded by the Marine Band marched by way of the avenue to St. Mark's Episcopal Chureh on Capitol Hill. A number of past command- ers were in line, among them David Dix- on, Harrison Dingman and Major William G.’ Moore, from No. 1; Robert Ball, Mat- thew Trimble, E. G. Davis, James Allen and E. B. Hay, from No. 2; George E. Corson, John Lynch, A. B. Jackson and Samuel Johnson, frem No. 3, and W. H. H. Cissel, G. Alexander, John F. O'Neill, Martin ‘onnor and C.'C. M. Lofiler of No. 4. Arrived at the church, the knights were met at the door and preceded down the aisle by the vested choir singing the pro- cessional hymn, “Onward, Christian Sol- diers. A quartet’ of Columbia Com- mandery, composed of Sir Knights Alexan- der Mosher, Perry B. Turpin, J. He Kaiser and ‘Charles W. Hancock, assisted the choir, and also sang the offertory Rev. Alfred Harding, rector of St. Paul's Church, read the lessons from the Sc tures, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Andrew J. Graham, who is himself a sir knight, late past prelate of Darius Com- No. 7, of Minneapolis. The sub- one appropriate to the oc G.

The many melodious numbers were well sung, and most of them had to be repeated. Miss Myrta French made an attractive Arline, Miss Fleming was effect- ive as the Gypsy Queen, Mr. Michelena made a manly Thaddeus and Mr. Ganor wes sufficiently lugubrious as the Count.

Both parts are weil play- ed, of course, and Miss Irish is attractive in’any role. Mr. LeMoyne, as the envious Walter, does fine work, and a subordina character, by Mr. Fritz Williams, was gi touches of real comedy genius that were a surprise to the part. Miss Irving and Mr. Hale made a very handsome pair of lovers and Mr. Gottschalk’s John Bainfree was an amusing old man. In fact, all the people an were good, and they almost saved the play. Tonight “The Wife” will be pre- sented. The Fairy Bridal.—“The Fairy Bridal,” a tuneful cantata, was given at Willard’s Hall last night by well-known local talent, under the auspices of the Rector’s Aid of St. Andrew's Church. Mrs. Kitty Thomp- son-Berry sang effectively the part of Ti- tania, Mr. Melville Hensey that of Oberon, Master Charlie Bell that of Puck, and Mr. J. J. Fisher rendered the role of the Gnome King in an excellent manner. Those who took part in the chorus were Misses Jessie Kappeler, Blanche Rueckert, Morrison, Mc- ‘arty, Goodwin, Crawford, Boteler, Alden, Kipp, Gill, Cogley and Hodges, and Mr. Charles Roberts.
