MATTHEW'S CHURCH Tomorrow the Last Day of Worship in the Old Building, Some Interesting Happenings During its Existence of Over Fifty Years —Its Several Pastors, Tomorrow will be the last Sunday that the congregation of St. Matthew's Church, corner of 15th and H streets, will worship within its walls. The pews and main altar will be removed early next week and plac- ed in position in the new edifice on Rhode Island avenue.’ The organ, the gallery pews, the side ‘altars and other parts of place theré. Until ‘the completion of the new edifice these belongings of the old church will be used, to be replaced in the future by the niaghificent ‘altar now being carved in India and the other appropriate furn'shings. Regret of Old Parishioners. Tke near approach of the closing cf the old St. Matthew's is viewed with intense regret by the oldest of the parishioners, which cannot be wholly disguised even under the natural elation felt in taking possession of the new church. The asso- ciations which cluster about the old one are so closely identified with the families and homes of the oldest members that they can never be wholly obliterated. To- morrow week the congregation will meet in the new church. Events in the Church's History. The closing of the old edifice removes another important landmark in the West End. The church was built fifty-five years ago. The corner stone was laid September 1838. Rev. John P. ‘Donelan was its first pastor, and the church was opened for service September 21, 1840. On Septem- ber 21, 1890, its golden jubilee was cele- brated. The first baptism recorded in the church register is that of Catharine Jane, daughter of James Purdow; and the first marriage that of William Norbeck and Elizabeth Howard. On May 14, 1841, a sis- ter of President Tyler was baptized. On the 15th of May, 1842, the church was sol- emnly consecrated by Archbishop Eccles- ton. The pastors of St. Matthew's were Rev. J. P. Donelan, Rev. James Donelan, Rey. John B. Byrne, Rev. Chas. I. White, D. D., Rev. Francis E. Boyle and Rev. Dr. Chappelle, who being consecrated bishop of Sante Fe November 1, 1891, was suc- ceeded by the present pastor, Rev. Thomas S. Lee. Father Lee has entirely directed the erection of the new edifice. The new_ St. Matthew’s will probably within the next fifty years be the scene of as many inter- esting events as have made the history of old St. Matthew’s so rich in memories, not only to its own congregation, but to hun- dreds of those who have added luster to Washington life and its ceremonials. a THE COURTS.

The entertainment given by the pupils of the Colored High School last night for the benefit of the library was a success, both financially and artistically. Quite a neat sum was ralized. The entertainment took place in the hall of the school building be- fore a large audience. A comic operetta, entitled “A Merry Company,” opened the performance, and reflected great credit up- cn the pupils, who took the several char- acters in really clever style. The singing tee especially good, and the choruses all that could be expected. Profs. Baile Layton gave their personal direction to the Presentation of the operetta. A class of nine young ladies opened the second part ~ the program with a clever exhibition of ‘aia club swinging. Then came the com- panne drill between companies A and B— Lad coaratey x the entertainment. It was e great rivalry between these that made the drill interesting. eee After the judges had announced every- thing ready the drill commenced. Company A, under the command of Capt. Burwell, twenty-eight strong, was the first to drill. Their appearance was greeted with cheers, And how well they deserved it was shown by their drilling. They drilled like vete- rans. With and without the numbers they went through the manual with few errors, and when they had concluded the com- pany colors—yellow and blue—were waved aloft by their friends in the audience. This company was especially proficient in load- ing and firing, although a few mistakes = a perfect mark for this move- A vigorous applause greeted company as it marched on the stage, under the ahie mand of Capt. Payne. The company colors Ae lope ae conspicuous in the an poieors. was evident it was not Company B presented twenty-six and lost no time getting to work. For the first few numbers the boys did well, but a bad case of rattles in drilling by numbers made their chances look glum. After that they got over their nervousness and exe- cuted many movements in a superior man- ner to their rivals. In stacking arms the company was a trifle slow, but proved su- perior to their predecessors in loading and firing, not a single error marking this movement. In the last movement of sup- port arms one of the privates in the front rank made a glaring error, and the result of the competition seemed a foregone con- clusion. Company A hsd won, although it was conceded on all siics that company B would have put the result in doubt had it not been for a few individual errors. sae the drill the judges, who were Capt. ‘has.
