Ship- pen—He Goes to Massachusetts. All Souls’ Church of this city will be without a pastor In the fall owing to the fact that Rev. Dr. Rush R. Shippen has re- signed, to accept a call to a church in Brockton, Mass., where he will enter upon his new duties in November. Dr. Shippen has long been a prominent figure in the Teligious life of the city, and his loss will be greatly felt not only in his cwn church, but in all lines of church work. Already the board of trustees of All Souls’, of which Mr. Carroll D. Wright is the chairman, have been casting about for @ successor to Dr. Shippen, and it is under- stood that their choice has fallen upon Rev. Minot J. Savage of Boston. The re- port which comes from Boston, however, to the effect that Mr. Savage has received a call-to this city is rather premature. Mr. Savage is perhaps the best-known preacher in the Unitarian Church, and there is no doubt that the people of All Souls’ would hail his coming with great pleasure; but that he will actually come is quite another matter. A formal call has not been extended as yet, but it Is a fact that Mr. Savage has been communicated with by the authorities of the church with a view to ascertaining whether he would consider such an offer as the church could make. Upon the nature of his reply will, of course, largely depend the future actions of the trustees. It is understood among the people here who are intimate with Mr. Savage that he would like to be the pastor of the leading church of his denomination at the capital, and the only obstacle that is likely to pre- sent itself is in the matter of salary. Mr. Savage is the pastor of one of the largest churches at the hub, and it is said that the salary he receives there is nearly double what All Souls’ has ever felt able to pay. If this obstacle can be got around in any way, there !s good reason to think that Mr. Savage's final answer might be a favorable one. Rev. Minot Judson Savage is a native of Maine and is fifty-four years of age. He was educated at Bowdoin, graduated at Bangor Theological Seminary in 1864, and became a Congregational minister in Cali- fornia. He was pastor of churches in Framingham, Mass., in 1867, and Hannibal, Mo., in 1869, In 1873 he had charge of a Unitarian church in Chicago, and since 1874 he has been pastor of the Church of the Unity, in Boston. Mr. Savage has been @ frequent contributor to the literature of the day, having written a number of vol- u:nes on religious, ethical and social topics, and is krown as one of the most brilliant and distinguished pulpit orators in the country. ————e LOW DEATH RATE. There Were Only Seventy Fatalities Reported During the Week. ‘The death list of the city last week reach- ed the lowest figure for fifteen years, as recorded at the health department. The total deaths numbered but seventy, as against 186 In the corresponding period of last year, and the rate fell to the point of 13.4 per 1,000 Inhabitants. The general health conditions were characterized by a total absence of deaths from any of the so- called contagious diseases. There were five cases of scarlet fever and but one- of diphtheria reported during the week, with no fatality therefrom. Acute lung mal- adies (with one death from pneumonia), malarial ailments and kidney troubles were at a minimum. ‘The annual visitation of cholera infantum and kindred summer complaints among young children, which usually begins its increase about the first week in June, is still in abeyance. Following this spell of warm weather the advent thereof may be looked for, and all the proper precautions on the part of mothers of infants should be taken. A geacral review of the week's health history gives the people of this city good ground for thankfulness. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Work Ordered. The Commissioners today ordered That the following sewers be constructed from appropriation for main and pipe sew- ers, 1805-96: In alley, squure 1001, estimated cost $600. in L street northeast, Delaware avenue to 2d street, estimated cost $648; In C street northeast, 14th to 15th, estimated cost $1,860; upper Waiter street, from 22d to 23d, and 224, from upper ater street to C street, estimated cost $1,400; A street south- east, from 1ith to 15th streets, esti cost $1,466; 13th street southeast,from Carolina avenue to Kentucky avenue, esti- mated cost $250; 34th street north: Q to R streets, estimated cost $1,006; 13th street southeast, from K street to Pennsy’ vania avenue, estimated cost §%32; Penn- sylvania avenue southeast, from 13th to 14th streets, estimated cost $288; Pennsy! vania avenue southeast, from reserva- tion 55 to 15th street, estimated cost $1,656; G street southeast, from 14th to 15th streets, estimated cost $450; 10th street northeast, from K to I streets, egtimated cost $4,840; K street northeast, from 9th to 10th streets, estimated cost $848.

Ford’s Theater Disaster. Ex-Commisstoner John W. Douglass, chairman of the citizens’ rellef committee for the succor of the sufferers of the Ford's Theater disaster, has forwarded to the Commissioners his report, showing the receipts and disbursements for the work. In acknowledging the report the Commis- sioners sa he work will always be a subject of just pride to all concerned in it. The work of sour committee was a fitting sequel to that noble response of press and people to the demand which the disaster In question made upon their practical be- nevolence. The Commissioners tender to the committee the thanks of the entire community for its services, unrewarded as they must be, save by the consciousness of duty well performed.” —_—.__ Death of John M. Noah. John M. Noah, youngest son of J. J. Noah, died yesterday at the residence of his sister, Mrs. J. S. Van Antwerp, 1214 T street, after an illness resulting from an attack of grip, which finally culminated in lung trouble and hemorrhages. Mr. Noah has held a position In the Smithsonlan In- stitute for the past twelve years, having charge of the recards of federal legislation regarding the Smithsonian and National Museum, and was brought In contact with many public men and officlals, by whom he was highly esteemed. He was a mem- ber of Lafayette Lodge of Masons of this city, Funeral services will be held at his late residence this evening at 7 o'clock, the interment being in Baltimore. —=._—_. The Premature Firecracker. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Would it not be well for the police to warn the “small boy” and also those of larger growth against firing pistols and firecrackers in the streets?

Certainly not more than of Benning falled to turn ing to either take part in Proceedings incident to the town hall dedi- cation, which came off on schedule time. The proceedings opened with a piano solo by Prof. Gaisberg, followed by an address by the president of the association, in which he reviewed the history of the Ben- ning Association since its organization. In closing, he said: “We have met together tonight for the purpose of dedicating this handsome new town hall, and in the name of the Benning Citizens’ Association and on behalf of its long lst of earnest and faithful members, I now declare this hall opened for public gatherings and forever dedicated to the uses of the good people of this thriving community.” Then followed a business meeting of the Citizens’ Association. The regular order was soon disposed of and then followed a trio, selected, by J. H. Cathell, J. E. and L. B. Taylor, duet, by Cc. F, Miller and M. Fahy; recitation, by Frank Harrison; solo, by J. E. Taylor; fancy dance, by Miss Blanche Wise; reci- tation, by Miss Ames; solo, by J. H. Ca- thell; violin selection, by Master George Hunt, assisted by Mrs. Powell; instru- mental solo, by George Heckle; comic song, by C.F, Miller; solo, by John Me- Cabe; fancy dance, by Master George Hunt, and solo, by Géorge Beckley. As soon as this was over the muster of ceremonies announced refreshments and a number of volunteer waiters served lemonade and cake to everybody in the hall. Then the hall was cleared of chairs and dancing was indulged in until nearly 3 o'clock this morning. The whole affair was voted a big success, and the crowd that filled the hall, and the whole town, in fact, was a surprise to everybody. The credit for getting up this affair is dueentirely to the efforts of the entertainment committee, composed of Messrs, J. S. Mewshaw, J. W. France, N. Keyser, G. W. Barnes, J. M. Wood, P. F. Meaney, S. R. Hipsley, Levi ‘T. Baker and John Boland. a dozen people out last even- or witness the : oe WOMAN’S PRESS AS OCIATION. An Outing at Chevy ase in Honor of Mrs, Mohl. The Woman's National Press Association took an hour off last night and went out to Chevy Chase on a lark. The occasion was the visit to the city of Mrs. Aurelia Hadley Mohl of Houston, Tex. Mrs. Mohl was one of the charter members of the association, but has been some five years in Texas, where she is president of the Texas auxillary of the organization. A special car took about fifty of the ladies from,the 7th street junction at 6:45, and landed them close to the corduroy bridge over the mimic lake at Chevy Chase. In the. dancing paviliion the president, Mrs. Han- nah Sperry, called the ladies to order, and said some pretty words of welcome to Mrs. Mohl, after which she introduced the president of the Short Story Club, Maj. Willis, who paid a tribute to Mrs. Mohl, who was the founder of that club. There were short talks by Dr. Ella Marble, Mrs. Emily F. Hort, Mrs. Germond Crandell, Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, Mrs. Belva Lock- wood and others, interspersed with music, which insistently cut short the speeches of ladies, forcing them to give “postscripts.” Mr. O'Donoghue told some witty Irish stories and recited, and Mr. Will Bogue got caught in the meshes also, reciting “Queen Mab." Mrs. Mohi, acknowledged all the nice things said of and to her, and spoke briefly of the manner in which the representatives of the association from Washington, Mrs. Sperry, Mrs. Cromwell, Mrs. North and Miss Pike had been re- ceived at the convention of the press clubs in Philadelphia last week, from which they had all just returned. Among those who took in the outing were Mrs. Hannah B. Sperry, Mrs. G. Crandell, Dr, Ella S. Mar- ble, Mrs. Anna M. Hamilton, Mrs. Nora Edgar, Mrs. Aurelia Mohl, Mrs. O'Don- oghue, Mrs. Emily Hort, Mrs. Belva Lock- wood, mother and grandson, Mrs. Kittie L. Scott, Mr. Fred Scott, Major Willis, Mrs. Dora Voorhis, Mrs. J. B. McCreery, Mrs. Jacobson, Mrs. H. M. Stern and daughter, Miss McCreery, Mrs. Mary 8S. Lockwood, Miss Lilian Pike, Miss Georgia Si , Miss Cynthia Cleveland, Mrs. Mary S. Gist and Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball. ‘The Sulphur-in-a-Hole Remedy. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: Hardly a day passes that we are not re- minded that a little learning is a dangerous thing, and yesterday was not an exception. In an article in The Star about ridding the trees of Washington of caterpillars the old sulphur-in-a-hole remedy is once more brought forward, and this time seriously and in a manner that might elsewhere (in a town where there were not such practical horticulturists as William Saunders, John Saul and William R. Smith) lead to the sudden employment of a score or two of men to go around and bore little holes in all our beautiful trees and plug them up with chunks of sulphur. This sulphur no- tion is nonsense. It has been exploded over and over. Any beginner in botany can tell you quickly why it is useless. To get into the circulation of the tree the sulphur would have to pass into the thin tissue on the outer surface of the wood beneath the bark, and known as the laburnum, The sulphur placed in a hole bored in the tree would very little of-it, If any, get into this tissue, and in a very small segment of the circumference of the tree—so small and involving so little sulphur that no appre- clable effect would ever be observed, if the sulphur really had a remedial quality. It is barely possible that sulphur in large quantities on the branches or on the ground aroaud the tree might, as ft Is effected by the air and volatilizes, produce a gas that would cause the caterpillars some difficulty in breathing. The expense would forbid its use in this way. Who says that the trees cannot be sprayed successfully? > The Blaine Invincible Club. There was a large attendance of the Blaine Invincible Republican Club last evening for the pufpose of electing officers and preparing for the coming campaign. After a closely contested vote Col. Perry H. Carson was re-elected president, and the following officers were elected for ensuing year: Vice president, J. W. Bell; secretary, D. J. Edwards; assistant secretary, C. W. Scott; treasurer, J. A. Gibson; sergeant-at- arms, J. S. Queen; chaplain, Lewis York; marshal, Nelson Green; executive commit- tee, J. W. Bell, W. K. Brown and Mr. Briscoe. Speeches were made by Mr. J. W. Bell and. Col. Carson, after which the club adopted a resolution commending Col. P. H. Carson for his efforts to bring to justice Policeman Green for the wanton shooting of Foster. A resolution was adopted thanking Sena- tors Allison, Gorman and Faulkner for their efforts in securing the appropriation for a school house in Ivy City. ee Robbery at Rockville. Special Corresponde of The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, June 26, 1895, The store of Frost Brothers, at this place, was last night entered by burglars and a quantity of knives, razors and other goods ard a small sum of money were taken therefrom. Entrance was effected by break- ing open the front door with a crowbar. It is thought the thieves were frightened away before completing their job. This ts the third time this store has been robbed with- in the past two years. Attempts were also made to enter other stores during the night. For the past two or three days several sus- piclous characters have been noticed here. ———— Mentioned His Honor. “I was sayin’ some words, If you calls dat cussin’,” said a colored man named George Nokes, who was called upon to ex- plain to Judge Kimball today why he used bad language on the street at an early hour this morning. “What were you saying?” “"Peatin’ de Ten C Sukomanenents honor, and dat was all.” yo" T_wa'n't no mo’ drunken den dan I is now, If yo’ honor pleases. And I don’t swear nohow, ‘cause I'se a Christian and belongs tes church. ndition?” the: officer 1 s pretty full. was he saying was talking about great | “He other generals and tloned your honor’s name.’ Judge Kimball blushed and imposed the usual fine.

This Season Ahind of Last—The Early €losing Moyement in the Went, Bnd. : The books of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company here show that the ship- ments of coal this season to date are 54,000 tons ahead of last season's corresponding period. During June, from the Ist to the 224, 18,000 tons were shipped coastwise—to Bos- ton and other New England ports. From the first of the present month up to last Saturday 225 boats were loaded for George- town, These are facts and figures from the company’s records. It was thought at the beginning of the season that last year’s canal record would be hard to beat, but the present season is going ahead in a walk. The old difficulty of getting vessels in which to ship the coal coastwise has not been experienced to any extent this year. Georgetown has done a “cracking” shipping business,and ship chan- dlers along the wharves have been highly pleased with their participation. Another Burglary. Another Georgetown place was entered yesterday morning early, presumably about 2 o'clock. It was Byng's drug store, 29th and O streets. The burglar secured an entrance through a rear window by cut- ting and forcing out a slat in the shut- ter, then running his hand in the aperture and unhooking it. The window proper was up and a screen was in its space. This the burglar carried away with him after riffing the money drawer of its contents. Not — was secured, as only change had been left. This is the third burglary: here within a week. It is believed that one man is re- sponsible for all. In every case entrance was effected in the same mauner. Once he has been caught at his work, but his identity was" not discovered. It {is not known whether he is black or white. Scheele’s place, which was robbed of mis- cellaneous stuff last week, is in the same block as Byng’s. Residents are becoming uneasy as a whole, for the weather forb'ds the careful closing of houses at night. The police have been instructed to pay particular attention to residences, and. De- tective Burrows has been given special in- structions to work for the capture of the midnight visitors. Early Closing. The 7 o'clock closing movement has at last become general. Last night the bene- fited clerks met at Isaac Nordlinger’s home and organized themselves into a body to be known as the “Clerks’ Assembly.” Mr. Wm. N. Bornheim was made chairman of the meeting. Officers were elected as follows: Mr. I. B. Nordlinger, secretary, and Mr. M. Baer, treasurer. Fifteen names were enrolled in the membership list.. It was de- cided to hold regular meetings and draft a corstitution. This work was allotted to Messrs. Nordlinger, Hunter and Frankfurt. The 7 o'clock movement meets with the general approbation and sympathy of the purchasing public here. Notes. At a meeting of the Georgetown Catholic Union last night Mr. John Jones was elect- ed president, Thos. F. Smith treasurer, and Charles Leasure librarian. Margaret H. and Andrew Blackman have deeded to John T. Scrivener a life estate in lots 81 and being premises known as 15312 35th street. — AMUSEMENTS. Grace Church Choir Concert.—The choir of Grace Protestant Episcopal Church, cor- ner of 9th and D streets southwest, is making great preparations for an outing which it intends to give some time during the summer. The choir is composed of boys, and to further: its proposed project it gave a concert Jast night at the parish hall, which was very well® attended, und which seems to have fulfilled its mission in the way of raising funds for this purpose. The little hall was filled to its utmost ca- pacity, and a very pleasant program of musical and literary numbers was_ren- dered, under the direction of Messrs. Chas. Carter and Chas. Price. Mr. Ernest H. Daniel acted as the director, and the ac- companists were Miss Edna Fitch, Miss Mary C. Dashiell and Miss Mary McKee. ‘Those who took part in the program were Miss Wren, Master Wallace Jones, K. J. Daniel, N. B. Fugitt, Miss Alice Judson, Miss Florence Stidham, Mr. J. J.

Methodist Home Lawn Party.—A lawn party was given by the ladies of the Meth- odist Home to their many friends on the grounds of the home, on 12th street near M northeast. Chinese lanterns served as dec- orations, and refreshments were served to the many who were present. An enjoyable program was rendered, in which Messrs. F. W. Reed, A. R. Taylor, L. E. Moore, P. Gibbons, J. W. Taylor, Charles E, Rice and Thomas Allpress, Miss C. Reiff, A. McRoy, M. Cooley, J. Reed, W. Gunnett, L. Dar- ling, M. Gibbons, M. Allpress, O. E. Net ton and N. Allpress took part.

There was a case of aggravated assault in the eighth police precinct last night, the Parties to the affair being Policeman Geo. W. Greer and a colored man named Battle Minor, the latter, the driver of a private express wagon. The affair happened near 18th and 8 streets about 8 o'clock last even- ing, and both men are now in the hospital under treatment for injuries received dur- ing the struggle. The officer received by far the most serious injuries, and last night it was thought they might prove fatal. The officer sustained a number of severe bruises, two broken ribs, besides internal injuries. There were also two severe cuts on his head, but his skull was not frac- tured. Minor had two ugly cuts on his head, probably made with the policeman’s club. Minor was driving up and down 18th street in a reckless manner, and the officer waiked out in the street and called to him “consider yourself under arrest.”” ‘he man so considered himself and start- ed with the policeman. He would probably have gone wMhout any trouble had not the colored followers shouted, “Don't go,” and “Mob him.” Then stones were thrown, and the prisoner took advantage of-the en- couragement given and proceeded to resist in a manner calculated to cause trouble. There was a struggle, and the prisoner's friends took a hand, and the officer was soon relieved of his’ club, and was then beaten with it. Besides being clubbed he was kicked and otherwise roughly handled. Notwithstanding this treatment the offi- cer held to his prisoner. ,While the strug- gle was in progress the officer and the sev- eral colored men who were assaulting him managed to get near Gardner’s grocery store, where some empty bottles were also brought into play. Two young men, Messrs. Beller and Prescott; went to the assistance of the officer, and the patrol wagon was summoned with the reserves from the po- lice station. Battle Minor was the only one of the colored men arrested, and he was so badly disabled that he was taken, with the officer, to Freedman's Hospital. This morn- ing both men showed signs of improvement. The officer was removed to Garfield Hos- pital and Minor, whose injuries are not as bad as was thought last night, is still at Freedman’s. Several arrests will probally be made be- fore the officer is able to appear in court. ————— Here is Butter You Rend Of, But never get elsewhere. 5-lb. boxes at $1.25, Is freshest, sweetest and-purest made.

It means isolation, seclusion. Tt is a bar to seefal and business euccess. Do you wonder that despair seizes upon these suf- ferers when Doctors fail, standard remedics fail, And nostrums prove worse than useless? Skin diseases are most obstinate to cure or even relieve. It is an easy matter to claim to cure them, but quite another thing to do so. CUTICURA REMEDIES Have earned the right to be called Skin Specifics, Because for years they have met with most re- markable success. There are cases that they cunnot cure, but they are few indeed.
