20 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, A night blooming cereus blossomed Thursday night at the residence of Mr. C. B. Smith, Anacostia. Four beautiful per- fect blossoms began to open about 8 p.m. and continued open all night, filling the entire house and vicinity with their de- lightful fragrance. Many friends called during the evening to enjoy the scene. The Ladies’ Aid Soclety of the Anacostia Baptist Church will give a lawn festival on the church lawn Tuesday evening next for the benefit of the missicn at Fort Foote, Md. A fine musical program has been arranged and the Anacostia Banjo, Man- peat and Guitar Club has promised to at- tend. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Horner of Wash- ington avenue are visiting Mr. Frank Joyce of Congress Heights. The question of more railroads is begin- ning to be agitated in Prince George's and other counties in southern Maryland. It is gaid that is the only part of the state that 13 not adequately served by ratlroads, and it is urged that there should be a line to the Potomac in St. Mary's county. The country is as fine and naturally as rich as any in Maryland, and it needs only the ap- plication of hard work and modern meth- ods and better market facilities to bios- som with prosperity again. It is believed that the time fs near when immigration to Maryland will fill up the unoccupied places and bring the farm Tands to their old values, and it is as- serted that no section offers better oppor- tunities than the southern Maryland coun- ties, while it i# telleved that it must be only a matter of time when the railroad will be built. The ccunty commissioners of Charles county, Md., at their meeting at La Plata a@ day or two ago, passed an order to is- sue $20,000 of bonds to build a court house at La Plata. The bonds will be sold at public auction in La Plata, August 13. ‘They will bear 5 per cent interest, and will run for forty years, but redeemable in ten at the option of the commissioners. ges FALLS CHURCH. The annual excursion of Falls Church Lodge of Odd Fellows yesterday to Bay Ridge was largely attended and a very en- joyable cccasion. Among those who at- tended was a bride and groom, well-known young people of Lewinsville, who the day before had created a sensation in that vsually quiet village, two miles distant from here, by eloping. The parties were Mr. Howard Crocker, son of Mr. J. S. Crocker, and Miss Elton Walton, daughter of Mr. J. N. Walton. It seems that the parents of the young lady strenuously op- posed the attentions of yourg Crocker, and Crocker's parents were also not altogether pleased with the match, but these obstacles did not prevent the progress of the court- ship, which termirated in an elopement. ‘The young lady is a music teacher in the neighborhood, and on the day named she Went as usual to give her lessons, unac- companied by any one, and aroused no sus- picion of her intentions. After attending to her classes she went to West Find depot and met yourg Crocker by previous ap- pointment, and they proceeded to Wash- ipgton and went to Brightwood and were ried by Rev. R. F. Shipley, pastor of the M. E. Church. After the ceremony they went to the hcuse of an aunt of the groom at Brightwood Park, where they will remain for the present ard await for- giveness on the part of the home folks. If obtained, they propese making their home with the parents of the groom. While hap- piness was thus supreme to one portion of tae party on the occasion, a sadness was created during the excursion to another large circle of frierds by an unfortunate accident happening to Miss Edna Bailey, a bright and attractive young lady from Washington, who is visiting the home of Mrs. Kate Wright here. The young lady Was enjoying a bath at the heach, and in going rapidly down the tohoggan slide she unfortunately threw her hand out, and, coming in contact with the side, a large splinter was forced into her finger, extend- ing to the palm of the hand, causing in- tense pain. It was with great difficulty re- moved by Mr. Geo. P. Carr, clerk of the hotel, assisted by Mr. M. E. Church of this town. When finally extracted it was found to be fully three inches in length and a fourth of an inch in diameter. Mr. end Mr: eth Osborn and daughter, Miss Julia, have gone for a menth’s outing to Asbury Park. The Mission Band of the Presbyterian Church, Miss Clara Gulager, president, will hold a lawn party on the church lawn Friday night. —_—.__—_. BROOKLAND. Mrs. Fred.

Mr. Fi t Snooks was elected re- cording secretary and treasurer. By next Friday night the boys expect to have their instruments, after which they will put In some hard, earnest work, and there is no reason why the Brookland Drum Corps sheuld not equal any other drum corps, for it ax energetic leader and enthusiastic as_an informal meeting of the Brookland Citizens’ Association at the nm hall last night, when President ch presented several subjects that are of importance to t locality. A letter from the Northeast iizens' Association Was read, asking c peration in suggest- ing to the Commissioners certain tracts fcr public parks. After some discussion, it was the general opinion that Brook- land people should endeavor to secure the Betting apart of the old Fort Bunker Hill e as a public park, not only on account its desirable lecation, but because of the toric interest that attaches to the ground. It was also suggested that the eld Fort Totten should be a park. The subject of purchasing the old fire equipment of the Mt. Pleasant people w: talked about and referred to the appro- priate committee. The need of some sort of tire extinguishing apparatus was fully recognized, and it was stated that enough mon had been subseribed by the citi- zens to make the proposed purchase. The question of street improvements, Sewerage and the new school house were discussed at some length, but it was de- cided that no deiinite action could be taken rntil it was definitely ascertained t the views of the Commissioners were, and a committee will wait upon those of- icials soon. > —_ TAKOMA PARK. “The Whittingham" dance Thursday night was a most enjoyable affair.

The Entertaining Oral Idiosyncrasies of a Southern Umpire. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. “Toot!” said McFarland. The man who hadn’t been to Sports- man’s Park for two seasons turned to a “crank” at his side and said: ‘What did he say?” “Two out,” returned the crank, and craned his. head to watch Abner Powell slide to first. “Yuroot?" yelled the umpire. The newcomer scratched his head. “Well, he is the greatest I have ever seen,” he said. McFarland, the man who said “Toot” at the top of this article, is the new umpire of the Southern League in these parts. He looks like a college man, and !s sald to be one, but he offers a curious study to the student of pronunciation. He can say “two” and “three” in a way alto- gether his own. It’s worth a trip to the park just to hear him say it; so that if the boys play bad ball and there’s no interest in the game if McFarland’s only there to call balls, why it's all right, and the grand stand goes home happy. Of course it is impossible to convey in cold printer’s ink the delightful admix- ture of Kickapoo Indian, Tralee bagpipe player, fiddle string and fog horn that unite in the resonant tones of McFarland when he makes a decision, but the follow- ing will give something of a phonetic ap- proximation of the sound of his words: “Str-r-r-roique wun!’ “Boll te-h-h-hoo!”” A digression is here necessary to explain the above. It means “ball two,” but no letters ahd few tongues can convey an ad quate conception of the strange, the weird, the almost apparitional effect of the sound. Nor can language describe the way Mc- Farland works his face to get the effect of the prolonged “th.” This may give the ghost of an idea: Lifting his right foot and jumping into .the air with his left he extends his neck, and while in midair takes &n enormous respiration. Landing fairly upon both heels he places his tongue be- tween his teeth, sneezes quickly,imitates a distant steamboat whistle by breathing audibly from the throat, and ends with a deep bass vowel sound; so that the whole, when placed together into one melody, united in the above, namely: “Te—h—hoo! “Boll th—th—t—h—hhree!”" But this is futile. If one ear could speak to another it alone could describe how McFarland says “three.” Suifice it to say that it impresses one as thovgh he were pulling the sound out of a bottle with a very small neck. The next words that he utters shows that he has succeeded. “Boll four—r!" The words come out as blandly as ripe bananas. He has pulled the “two” and the “three” up by the roots, dragged them up out of the bottle neck with his labial corkscrew, and the “four’’ comes out with a smooth, round, relieved cadence that trickles into the air as gently as the run- ner takes his base. “Owl ball!” This is one of McFarland’s most adroit oral achievements. He means “foul bal but the grand stand never catches the "“f. It goes over to center like a nigger chaser, and the owl comes home. The phenome- non of this singular disintegration of a word presents a curious effect: When the far end of the bleachers hears a sound as of a skyrocket going up it is known that a foul has been struck, and when the grand stand hears the name of a bird which Mc. Ferland imitates wher he says ‘‘Te-hoo: it also knows that a foul has been hit. McFarland is the only man in the South- ern League that can throw an “h” entirely across the fleld. With a little practice he might throw them into London. It wouldn't be a bad idea if he threw most of them over in the bleachers, where they are sadly needed. ‘Silver’ Braun says he will catch a few of them himself, and use “dem on the coach line. See?’ coo - Modern Sport. From the Chicago News. ‘A tiger and leopard, a grizzly and a pack of ferocious black wolves turned matadores recently to tickle the jaded appetite of the Spaniards for blood. Queen Christina re- fused to see the gory spectacle. In the making of kites, shape is no con- sideration. A square, circle, hexagon, man, star, fish, dragon, horse or shield will fly equally as well, but they must be equally proportioned. In Japan and China, where kite-flying is the national sport, a whole menagerie is often si in the air—horses, cows, dogs, monkeys, bats, crows, fishes and snakes. There are two kinds of war kites—the armed and the unarmed. The object of the armed kites is to commit as much havoc as possible in kitedom. To the tail are at- tached sharp pieces of broken glass which cut the strings of other kites, ruining and losing them. ‘Kite clubs which hold meets and tourna- ments and award prizes have been organ- ized all over the country. In Japan they fly castles and pagodas with windows lighted by small lamps, so that they look like real houses. Another fancy is to tie lanterns to the tail of the kite. These attract much attention in the air, as they seem entirely without support. The usefulness of the kite, though forgot- ten by most persons, is not ignored by the engineer, who uses it in carrying lines over deep chasms. It was in this way that the first wire of the Niagara suspension bridge was got across the Niagara river. —___- ++. In Fighting Trim. From the New York World.

The casing of the organ is to be stained and grained to match the rest of the woodwork. The old pews are to be removed entirely, and oak pews made for their places. It is expected that the work will occupy nearly two months, and that the congrega- tion will not be able tm get into the edifice until some time in September. The church services are being helf:in the parish hall. Rev. Joseph T. Kéily, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, has left for MMs vacation, accompanied by his family and by his father-in-law, Mr. Bailey. Mr. Kelly will spend his time in Maine, and is fot expected back much tefore the 1st of September. The regular services of the church are being continued, as is also the Sabbath school. Rev. Edward B. Bagby of the Ninth Street Christian Church left the first part of this week, accompanied by his wife and child, for the Rappahannock river, Vir- gina, As Mr. Bagby spent a portion of his Vacation in attending the Christian En- deavor convention in Boston, he will_not be very long away from his charge. Such Sundays as he is not in the city, however, the services of the church will be continued, as will also the Sabbath school. ‘The fountain for the Central Union Mis- sion, for which the Rev. Dr. Alexander Mackay-Smith furnished the money, is at last fully completed and ready for busi- ness. The main portion of the fountain consists of a concave recess of burnished copper, and this recess is surrounded on the sides by. reck-work, in which creepers are to be planted. An inscription on the inside of the recess invites the wayfarer to partake of the water, and also atteni the services of the Central Union Mission, and while engaged in the former opera- tion imbihers are protected from the sun by an awning. The design of the fountain is the work of Mr. Ernst Schmid of the War Department. Rev. Alfred Harding, D. D., and family are spending the summer in Page county, Virginia. He will be back the ist of Sep- tember, and in his absence his assistant, Rev. Frank M. Gibson, Ph. D., is in charge of the parish, the work of the Sunday school being suspended. The choir has been disbanded durir.g the month of Au- gust, and the Chapter of Praise, one of the Parochial organizations, 1s supplying its place.

Dr. Gotwald ex- pects to return in the early part of Sep- tember. .Rev. John O. Knott has returned from a trip by sea to Boston and neighboring points. He has resumed charge of the sertices in the chapel of Metropolitan Church, and is also giving close attention to the new building of Epworth Church. The corner stone will be placed in the tower of the edifice, but as this portion will not be completed sufficiently for some time it is not expected that the ceremony will take place until some time in October. Rev. John H. Elliot, rector of the Church of the Ascension, will leave Monday or Tuesday of next week for his vacation. Dr. Elliot will be gone about a month from Washington and then, after an interval of two Sundays here, will go to Minne- apolis to attend the general convention of the Episcopal church. In the rector’s absence the duties of the parish will be attended ‘to by the assistant, Rev. William Tayloe Snyder. ‘The ‘Sunday school is on a holfday until September, but the services at the church on Sunday will be continued as usual. ‘ Workmen are placing the foundations for a magnificent reredos in the new church edifice of St. Andrew's Protestant Episco- pal-parish. The heavier nortions of the reredos will be composed of Parisian mar- ble, while the pillars and finer work are to be of.onyx. The onyx will be the-very finest quality and of two shades, sapphire and yellow, the colors of St. Andrew. The reredos will be about twelve feet in height and broad in proportion, and will be di- vided from right to left into three panels and from top to bottom in half. The perels of the upper portion will be sur- mounted by pinnacles elaborately carved, tke one in the center being the tallest of the three. The space on the right will contain a cross decorated with passion flowers, that in the center the usual brass cress. and that on the left a crown sur- rounded by Easter lilies. Of the three panels in the lower half the one in the center will be typical of the Paschal lamb, the one on the right will contain the sign of alyha and that on the left omega. In addition to this reredos an altar also of Parisian marble will be placed in the sanctuary. It was not expected when St. Andrew's Church was in its early. stage of construction that anything like as hand- scme as the reredos just described would be obtained, but owing to the generosity of Mrs, George Barrie, who presented the piece In memory of her mother, the eongre- gation will have the fittings of the chancel on the same handsome scale as the rest of the church. The Christian Endeavor Society of the Peck Memorial Church gave an excur- sion to Marshall Hall on Tuesday, which was largely attended by members of the congregation, as well as by the Endeavor- ers themselves.

An Instrament of Small Cost, but Great Advantage to Dairy Farmers. From the Westminster Review. The English agriculturist is slow to take advantage of modern scientific discoveries and inventions. Even the cream separator, the principle and utility of which are uni- versally understood, has not yet come into general use in this country. As for the milk tester, its very name is unknown to thousands of British farmers. Yet the value of this simple and inexpensive ap- pliance to every one who owns milch cattle is incalculable, and its employment is doing more to advance the dairying industry in America and elsewhere than perhaps even the separator itself. Mere quantity of milk does not give any clue as to the but- ter-producing capability of a cow. But by the tester the percentage of butter fat in each cow’s milk is ascertained, with hardly any labor and with absolute ac- curacy, before the milk is poured into the common receptacle for butter-making pur- poses. The dairyman who has no tester merely knows the quantity of butter his cows pro- duce in the aggregate; he has no clue as to the value of each individual cow in the herd. With the tester, on the other hand, he Knows exactly how much butter each individual cow produces from every gallon of its milk. By this means he is enabled to cull his herd, replacing poor butter- producers by good ones.. The poor cow costs just as much for food and attention as the good cne, but the annual monetary returns of the two animals show a wide margin of difference. Moreover, a good butter cow produces good butter stock, and so, from his knowledge acquired from the use of the milk tester, the breeder of dairy stcck is enabled to select the proper calves to rear and the proper ones to re- Ject. In this way it becomes perfectly possi- ble, as has been actually done on farms in Vermont and elsewhere in the United States, to grade up a dairy herd from an average production per cow of 150 pounds of butter per annum to an average of 300 pounds and over. With these figures be- fore him, even the layman will grasp the value of such an invention to each indi- vidual farmer who uses it. But let us reflect what are the money advantages of the system when spread over the 1,000 farms that contribute to such a creamery as that of St. Albans, Vt.; what the gain to the whole of that great dairying state; what the enhanced profit to the vast dairy- ing industry of America. Were the milk tester in universal use throughout Great Britain and Ireland the capitalized value of our dairy herds might be increased in a few years’ time fully 25 per cent. If, then, the British farmer does not eagerly avail himself of such an invention can he fairly grumble at being ousted from his own mar- kets by his foreign competitor? Right to Object.
