Holton has gone to New York, where he will meet M Welton, and after a lengthy trip both will return to Brook- land early in Septenrber. The Commissioners have recently been clearing the gutters of Bunker Hill road, for which the community Is very grateful. The citizens of Univervity Helghts say they would be very glad if the same attention should be paid to that subdivision, for the grass has gcuwn to such an extent that it is almost impossible to tell which is gulier and which the brick pavement. Despite the fact that It is against the law for horses and cattle to run loose in the District, these animals roam _ through Brookland and University Heights. It is asually at night when horses and cows are, purposely or otherwise, given this freedom, at a time when the people are unabie to watch their property, and often find in the morning their vegetables trampicd down and destroyed. The police who patrol this section never seem to see these animals, and fail to afford any protection to the citl zens whose gardens are damaged. The Misses Levi are visiting Brookland for a week or two. ‘The Brookland M. E. Church will give a Sunday school picnic the 5th of September in the Soldiers’ Home grounds, to which all the children, especially the little ones, are invited. Mr. Cissel and Mr. G. B.

The macadamizing of Washington avenue, which has been going on for the past two months and a half, will be completed to- day. The road, when completed, will cost the town $15,000. Over $11,000 of this amount has already been paid Mr. W. E. Anderson of Baltimore, who secured the contract. The work seems to be giving satisfaction to the citizens of the town, and will no doubt receive the approval of the city council at its next meeting. Mayor Phelps is still negotiating for the sale of the Main street bonds. The city council decided to float $23,000 worth of bonds for the Improvement of Main street, in macadam style, and placed the neg tiation of same in the hands of Mayor Phelps. It is expected that the bonds will be sold shortly and the work of improving Main street begun. Manager Harbin of the Keeley Institute, who 1s now in Hagerstown, is expected here today. It is thought he will decide not to rebuild the power house, which was burned down yesterday, but will make ar- rangements with the Laurel Electric Light cones to supply the institute with ight.

A small party from the village attended the dance given Thursday evening at Falls Church by Mr. Arthur Flagg, where an en- Joyable evening was spent. ‘The court of the tennis club on Walnut avenue was the ccene of several well- fought games a few evenings ago. Wm. H. Stockbridge beat Brooke Young, 6-2; W. M. Mason beat Stockbridge and Young, 6-1 and 6-2. Croquet is aividing the honors with ten- nis among the village folk, two of the resi- dents having laid out grounds on which the former game is played daily. One of the grounds is attached to the home of “Wetumpka,” the romanticelly situated home of Mr. White, while his neighbor, Mr. Stocking, rejoices in the possession of the other. It has been suggested that a club should be organized among the adepts with the mallet, so that the tennis club may have a competitor for popular favor in the near future. Mr. Charles W. Stetson left this after- noon for Stonyman Mountain, Va., where he will spend the next week or ten days with a party of friends who are camping out. —_—_.__ FOREST GLEN. Mr. M. S.

A lawn fete and concert was given last evening, under the auspices of Keystone Chapter, No. 32, Royal Arch Masons, at “Rose Lawn,” the residence of Mr. F. A. Holden, which was much enjoyed by the many persons present. Long vistas of Chi- nese lanterns lighted the spacious lawn, giving it an oriental appearance. Mr. F. A. Holden acted as master of ceremgnies. ‘The program opened with a fancy dance by Miss Cloffer, which was followed by a comic song by Mr. A. R. Holden, entitled “Father O'Flynn.” The Graham. brothers then rendered the “Not Guilty March” on the mandolin and guitar with excellent effect, and played a medley as an encore, being assisted with the violin by Dr, West- lake.

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, Although there are on an average about 500 divorces granted in Philadelphia county each year, and there are not less than five Treasons on which divorce can be obtained in the state of Pennsylvania, there are many residents of the keystone state, and some few Philadeiphians, who have gone to other jurisdictions in order to obtain a separation (which ts not always recognized here) from their better or worse halves, as the case may be. Fully that number of divorces are granted by the common pleas courts of this city every year, but the number of suits of this character which are commenced during every twelvemonth more than treble it. Why a man, or a woman, elther, who has been married in Pennsylvania, or has even lived here in the married state, should go west to some of the now notorious com- munities where divorces are practically ground out to order for the purpose of se- curing what he fondly imagines is a legal divorce is almost beyond understanding. Here are five cases, upon proof of any of which he or she can get a divorce. New Jersey is practically the only state in which so great a latitude in matters of this kind is allowed. South Carolina has no divorce law, and such a thing as a legal separation of man from wife is unheard of within her borders. New York comes next best. There an absolute divorce can only be obtained upon the statutory grounds, unfaithfulness to the marriage tie, but a limited divorce, with alimony, can be secured upon proper proof of several causes of complaint. Out west things change considerably. It is true that in most of the western states there are only three causes on which a di- vorce can be obtained,-but the laws from the standpoint of a prominent attorney aro so lax that a man or woman, by the exer- cise of the least bit of fraud, can obtain what they desire in from one-eighth to one- quarter cf the tlme required in this state, provided they are piloted by a lawyer who knows how to go about @ case when he is well paid. In Pennsylvania the causes on which a @ivorce can be obtained are ‘cruel and bar- barous treatment,” “desertion” for two years, giving elther party the right to begin suit after six months’ desertion, although no decree will be made until two years have elapsed; “‘unfaithfulness,” “duress and fraud,” and “felony,” where either party has been convicted of crime and has been in prison for two years or more. New Jersey allows a divorce upon proof of any of the same causes, but the applicant for the separation must first be a resident of the state for at least one year. In Pennsylvania every paper in a divorce cease is jealously guarded and practically impounded, thus securing to the parties in- terested almost absolute secrecy. “All the general public usually hears,” said a law- yer, “is the announcement that a decree has been granted, and all the facts which would make morsels of gossip are sup- pressed.” DO YOU FEEL DEPRESSED?

IN THE CCHURCHES In looking overtthe records of Trinity Protestant Episcogiak Church in search of material for an-historical skeich of the Farish it was found that Francis Scott Key, the author of the Star Spangled Ban- ner, was one of its earliest supporters and chureh officers, sHe represented Trinity parish for three years successively in the diocesan convention, was ono of its war- dens and a frequent attendant at the church for some years. Several members of the congregation have suggested putting a plate with a suitable inscription on the pew in which he sat, providing it can be definitely located, but no official action has been taken as yet. The walls and roof of the new parsonage of Ryland M. E. Church are finished, and workmen are busy on the interior, The Ladies’ Aid Society of the congregation has engaged to completely refurnish the parsonage, and as far as finances go is nearly ready to do it now. At a meeting in May it was decided by the Presbyterian Christian Endeavor Mis- sionary Alliance that the juniors of the organization should busy themselves from then on in securing funds to establish a scnclership at the Tucson, Ariz., Indian school. Their plans being interrupted, however, first by the gathering of money for the Children’s Country Home, an then by the usual summer exodus froin the city, not much: has been done so far. In the fall President Howard Wilbur Ennis of the alliance intends to prosecute the project with vigor. At the last mass meeting of the local council, Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Presi- dent P. B. Pierce called attention to ihe fact that some members of the organization complain of not being aware of the place and date of the meetings. In order that hereafter no cause for such complaints exist, secretaries of the several chapters were rotified to furnish the secretary cf the local council, Mr."Rolla P. Currie, with complete lists of the various chapters’ members, so that from now on each and every member of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will receive notices direct from the council secretary and not exclusively from the chapter secretary. Already the Central Presbyterian Church of this city, in connection with the Lou- doun Street Church of Winchester, has raised a considerable sum of money to be applied toward the support of a mis- sion station they are trying to establish in the province of Honan, China. Rev. Hugh W. White, who has been selected to be the missionary in charge, is diligently engaged in mastering the intricacies of the Chinese language, and when he becomes sufficiently proficient in it and a suitable location is secured in Honan the station will be organized. Nearly all the services of Metropolitan M. E. Church in the absence of the pastor, Dr. Johnston, have been discontinued until the end of the hot weather. The union service on Sabbath evenings, consisting of a song service and the regular Epworth League service, is proving. popular. It was expected,that an attraction at the Luther Memorial Church for some days during the summer would be the presence of Mr.Prahala Ramachandrayya, the converted Brahmin, who has been so favorably received in this country. Now it Is announced that he will not be here, or at least not for some time. A feature of Washington Grove camp meeting this year is children’s meetings, which are and have been held daily in the tabernacle. Mrs. S. M. Dove, under whose leadership they are hel is espe- elally successful im religious work among the young. There will be no naed to closé the Central Presbyterian Church’at any time this sum- mer, for it has lately been put into com- plete order. Paint on the exterior and im- prcvements to the ventilation have worked a decided change ém the appearance and comfort of the edifice. Mr. John M. Foster has been elected and is now serving as the assistant superin- tendent of the Assembly Presbyterian Sunday school in place of William I. Camp- bell, who resignedson account of his re- moval.to Takoma Park. Rev. ‘W. G. Banker of Kansas, brother- in-law of Rey. Dr. Luccock, is supplying the pulpit of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church in the absence of the regular pas- tor, and will continue.to do so during all of this month. The services are being held in the lecture room, on ithe first floor, pending the repairs to the upper part of the struc- ture. Of the $10,000, estimated as necessary to meet the expenses incurred by repairing the First Congregational’ Church, between $7,000 and $8,000 has been pledged and more is in sight. The committee has on hand in cash nearly $2,000, and workmen have al- ready completed the repairs to the roof and alterations to the ventilating system. Bids have been let for the new heating 2p- paratus, and also for the new carpets. The parlors and other rooms in the southern end of the structure are to be refurnished by the ladies of the congregation. Rey. Father James F. Mackin has ordered from Munich for the interior of St. Paul's Church a set of stations of the cross, num- bering fourteen. The material of the sta- tons is to be “carton pierre,” a composition of stone, grayish in color. The carving is being done in relief, with a gilt background, and each station will be three feet nine inches high and two feet eight inches wide. Trinity German Lutheran congregation will soon have a fine addition to its house of worship, In the shape of a new organ. Funds to the amount of nearly $2.59) will probably have to be raised, and already a start toward getting it js being made. Some minor repairs to the church proper are also needed, and will probably be done ina few days. Mrs. Grace Dufour Brown, organist of the E Street Baptist Church, is at Chautau- qua studying the pianoforte under some masters of European reputation, and Mr. Robert Smith is filling her position until her return. The quartet choir singing at E Street Church has been discontinued for the summer, and Me: Andrew J, Brown and F. F. Reilly and Miss Elliot are lead- ing the singing instead. Another summer home has been estab- lished at Falls Church. It is under the di- rection of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, who have bought a house there, which will be used this summer for persons needing rest and not able to pay for it. It is the ultimate intention of the sisters io establish a school at Falls Chu The tri-monthly mass meeting of the Iccal unton of the Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip was not held this month cn account of the absence of several of the officers and many of the members from the city. The next meeting will be the semi-annual mass meeting, which takes place in this city vhe first Tuesday in No- vember. The Baltimore chapters are to be present at this gathering, under the new plan of semi-annual mass meetings in Washington and Baitimore, alternately. The congregation of the Western Presby- terian Church hopes to begin the new year with an improvement to the interior furnishings cf the edifice, in the shape of a handsome carpet for the main auditorium, a fund having already been created for the purpose. It is probaole that extensive im- provements to the edifice may be made some time during the winter. A very handsome baptismal font is now heing made for St. Paul’s Catholic Church by Muller of Baltimore. It is of white mar- ble and nearly five feet in height. The por- tion of the font used-in baptisms will con- sist of .n octagonal bowl supported on four columns, both the bowl and base of the font being elaborately chiseled. A wealthy mem- ber of St. Paul’s parish is the donor. Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale, pastor of the Fifteenth Street M. °E. Church, has been hard at work, ably seconded by many of his people, in getting subscriptions to the new church edifice building fund, and now only about $500 remains to be raised of the amount thought necessary to have on hand before beginning. From the present out- look the corner stone will be laid about the middle of September, aud then, if all goes well, the congregation may be able to occu- py the lower portion of the structure before the year 1896 commences. Being so busy with this matter, Rev. Mr. Van Arsdale has not found time to go away. It was announced some time ago that the first vice president of the District Epworth League, Mr. J. S. Barker, was arranging to have weekly meetings, probably on Satur- day evenings, for the benefit of those who lead the meetings of the various chapters with selected topics on the following Sun- deys. Presiding Blder Luther B. Wilson ‘was approached several days before he left on his vacation and was asked if he would undertake the duty of instructing the class thus organized. Dr. Wilson gave his con- sent to this, but has stipulated that the work shall not begin before September. The exterior of the Protestant Episcopal Church of St. Margaret, situated on Con- necticut Avenue Heights, is about finished, and the contractor Is getting the interior ready for the plasterers. It is thought likely, weather and circumstances permit- ting, that the church will be ready for the use of the congregation by the Ist of Oc-o- ber. Rev. Robert Howell, the rector, is still at his cottage in the Adirondacks, but will return in time to officiate at the opening services. STEALING THE AIR. A True Tale Brought From Baltimore of an Unusual Offense, An Anacostian, who was in Baltimore a few daya ago, related to a Star reporter a remarkable experience he had while in the monumental city. “While standing,” says he, “talking with a policeman in the cen- tral part of the city, the manager of a bicycle establishment located near by came up and, addressing the officer, sald: “Say, officer, I wish you'd drive those hoboes away or run them in. They’re hang- ing around the door trying to steel our air all day long.” “Trying to steal what?” queried the cop- per. “‘Our air. What we use to blow up pneumatic tires with,’ replied the man. “The officer looked disgusted. ‘Do you fellows own the air here?’ he demanded. “*Do you rent it with the premises? You'll be accusing somebody with running off with your sunbeams next, I suppose these noboes grab a handful of air when you ain’t looking, jam it in their pockets and run, eh?’ “Well, if you don’t believe it, just come back here and watch,’ said the manager. “He led the way to the back part of the establishment,where he and the officer con- ceaied themselves behind a curtain. In a moment a big tramp peered in at the door; mopped the perspiration from his face; slipped to the little ruber hose attached to the air compressor in the basement, thrust the nozzle into his steaming collar and turned the stopcock. The wind whistled through his clothes, and for a moment he was the picture of contentment. Before he could get cooled off, two more like him were anxiously waiting their turn at the nozzle. The officer took the offender to the station house and wanted to make the charge against him petty larceny for stealing air, but had to call it disturbing the peace.” SS MUNICIPAL ART SOCIETY. Paintings Which Are to Adorn a New York Court Room. From the New York Tribune. The Municipal Art Society of New York will begin next week the decoration of the oyer and terminer court room in :he new Criminal Courts building. The expense of the work, which will be borne by the s0- ciety and made a free gift to the city, will be $5,000. The commission was zwarded to Edward E. Simmons in the public competi- tion invited by the society last year, and the workmen employed in the court room will be under his supervision, The color- ing of the ceiling in flat tints «nd the decorations of the walls not occupied by Mr. Simmons’ paintings must, of course, be finisked before his panels are put up. The room will be decorated by September 1, and the presentation to the city will be made early in October. It was intended that the presentation address should be made by the late Richard M. Hunt, who, at the time of his death, was president of the Municipal Art Society. The presenta- tion will probably be made by William A. Coffin, the first vice presideat, or by Will- iam T. Evans, the second vice president. Mr. Simmons’ middle pan2!, Justice, is now nearly ready to go up, and the other panels, Fraternity, Liberty and Equality, and The Three Fates, are far advanced toward completion. The central panel is a serious, impressive and noble piece of work. The handsome features of this clear- eyed Justice of commanding presence, who is not represented blind, as in old tradition, are based on a study of a portrait of Mr. Simmons’ wife. The cloaked female figure, holding the scales in one hand and in : other a globe with the symbol of Christian rule, in type and manner conveys an idea of dignity and control. With a drapery of the Stars and Stripes, Justice stands be- fore closed bronze doors, set in an archi- trave of marble, and mysteriously sugges- tive of the power of the law. The arms of the state and city are superimposed. Be- low are two youths as pages, one bearing a sword and the other doves, symbolizing condemnation and acquittal, and watching the scales. These charming figures are from drawings Mr. Simmons made from his two boys. The dimensions of the cen- tral panel are 8x15 feet, with frame, end of the other panels 8x11 feet each. The right panel is a group of female figures representing the Three Fates. The thread of life is spun by Youth, a lovely girl, singing. It passes to Maturity, and thence to Old Age, who cuts it. The left panel ls a group of three seated female figures, symbolizing Fraternity, Liberty and Equality. Two half globes are held by Equality, on whom Fraternity rests one hand, and with the other holds the hand of Liberiy, rejoic- ing over her broken chains. ——__+ e+ ____ A Finger Pillor; From the Church Times. The finger pillory is still preserved care- fully in the parish church of St. Helen Ashby-de-la-Zouch and is thus described: “An ancient and rather singular curiosity— a finger pillory. This instrument seems to have been used for the punishment of dis- orderly persons during divine service. It consists of two upright posts about three feet high, which support a beam of nearly the same length, in which are bored holes of various dimensions, cut first horizontally and then perpendicularly, in order that the first joint of the finger may be inserted and the finger retained in an angular form. The culprit is then secured by bringing down over the holes another beam, which is at- tached by a hinge at the end to one of the osts and fastened at the other end by a jock."” ————— Profit in Old Postage Stamps. From the London Telegraph. In philately many harmless persons still find recreation and some dealers substan- tial profit. During the season for the sale by auction of rare postage stamps, which seems to be just now drawing to a close, one firm alone has disposed of specimens of the aggregate value of £20,000. Messrs. Ventom, Bull & Cooper, who hold the rec- ord, took £1,281 at their last sale, and the lots included a collection of 3,100 varieties, which fetched £210; a pair of New Zealand, water mark “N. Z.,” 1d., brown, which sold for £32; a Finland, errors, 5p. and 10p., for which £30 was obtained, and a block of four Great Britain, 1854, 6d. violet, un- used, which realized £26. ——___-e2+—___ One On George. From Harper's Bazar, Mrs. Darley—‘George, dear, I went to your tailor and told him to make the pock- ets in your new clothes of asbestos cloth. Mr. Darley—“What on earth was that for?” Mrs. Darley—“It’s a fireproof material, dear.” Mr. Darley—‘Well?” Mrs. Darle; Well, love, you know you have often complained about money burn- ing a hole in your pocke: — Illustrated.
