20 SUBURBAN NEWS ANACOSTIA, The publication in The Star yesterday of the opinions of a large number of citizens of Anacostia on the question of having a licensed saloon in the place, ag ascertained by Mr. Woodward, haus caused much dis- cussion here. It is thought the result of Mr. Woodward's efforts will be to inaugu- rate a bitter war between the adherents of the Anti-Saloon League and those who want or are willing to have a saloon. . The meeting of the Columbian Associa- tion, which took place last night in the Anacostia Baptist Church,, Rev. H. T. Btevenson, pastor, was well attended, many persons from the city being present. The exercises were very interesting. Several instructive addresses were delivered. The great revival which has been in pro- gress in Campbell A. M. E. Church, Hilla- dale, Rev. E. P. Greenige, pastor, for sev- eral weeks past, has resulted in more than f.fty conversions. Mrs. Sadie Eileen Poates of Anacostia, who has had charge of the Epiphany P. E. Church, Washington, choir during the pres- ent month, will occupy a similar position at Waugh M. E. Church, Washington, dur- ing September. ° Mr. and Mrs. George S. De Neale and son, Mrs. M. E. Woods and Miss H. Gray of Anacostia have gone to Niagara Falls and Watkins Glen. Miss Nellie Soper of Jackson street, who has been quite ill, is now convalescent. Rev. Mr. Davenport has detinitely decided, it is understood, not to go to Scotland after the remains of his son Dana, the particu- lars of whose complete identification were published in The Star of yesterday, but wil! have the body shipped here, if it be possi- ble to do so, for interment in Congressional cemetery. > BRANDY STATION. A peculiar and painful accident hap- ‘pened a few days since to Ross, the six- teen-year-old son of Mr. Thomas Beck- ham of Alexandria, at his summer home near Brandy. About midnight the young man either fell or walked out of the sec- ond-story window of the mansion house and lay upon the ground for some time calling for help before he could arouse any one from his slumbers. When taken up, it was found that one knee cap was broken and serious bruises had been sus- tained on various parts of his body. Under the care of two physicians he is slowly re- covering and rejoicing over his narrow escape from instant death. Rev. Mr. Gwatkins of the Baptist Church of Brandy has just closed a series of extra meetings, in which he was assisted by Rev. Mr. Robertson of Lynchburg, and at which there was a very large attendance and much interest manifested. Mr. Gwat- kins will leave his charge In September to resume his studies at the theological sem- inary, and not return until next June. Mr. and Mrs. A. 8. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Rouzer and Mr. «nd Mr: Henry Bergling have returned to Washing- ton, after a pleasant visit with Mr. and Mrs, Firman R. Horner, near Brandy. Mr. Barbour of New Yorx city has been spending some time with Mr. Jokn F. Rixey. The African Southern Baptist Assocla- tion for this district have b hoiding the most largely attended meetings ever known in the vicinity. It is estimated that fully five thousand persons attended the services in the church near Brandy and in the grove a short distance off, and over sixty ministers took part in the business and religious exercises. Miss Willis of Locust Dale was the recent guest of Miss Florence Parr. Mr. Ellinger, while assisting his men to @rive some cattle through Brandy, was thrown from his horse and painfully in- jured about the head and face by the horse falling upon him. A committee consisting of Messrs. Frank- In Stearns, A. G. Willis, John F. Rixey and A. J. Kennon have been appointed from this neighborhood to co-operate with committees from other districts to secure legislation providing for the permanent improvement of the roads of Virginia. ‘This is a most important matter for the future welfare of the state and one which should be pushed to immediate consum- mation. Mr. Franklin Stearns has had many recent guests at his pleasant summer home, “Farley,” among whom were Mr, and Miss Clark of Scottsville,Va., Miss Town- send, Miss Ellison and Mr. Frank Stearns, 4r., of Richmond.

The Brookiand Drum Corps now numbers twenty-five members, five of whom joincd at the meeting last night. These were Bard Usilton, Make Lewis, Albert Teeple, Peter Teeple and Edward Shambaugh. Mr. Andrew Milstead of Washington has been secured as drum teacher, and his as- sistance will be of great help to Mr. John Gass, the leader and organizer of the corps. The boys appear to be interested in their work, and if the same progress continues there {s no reason why the Rrookland Drum Corps should not be numbered among the leading drum corps of the Dis‘rict. Mr. and Mrs. Stalee and little daughter tua are still enjoying themselves at Asbury ‘ark. During their absence their residence on Providence street is being occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Donaldson.

There is evidently a gang of thieve3 at work along the line of the Baltimore and Potcmac railroad, for three stores have been robbed in the past two weeks. Last night at Hall's Station the two stores oc- cupied by Messrs. H. Clay Hopkins and Edward E. Loveless were broken into and robbed. The store occupied by Mr. Love- less has the post office in it, and it was re- Perted here thet $20 worth of postage stamps were stolen, but no money, except some small change, amounting to $2 or $3. ‘The amount lost by Mr. Hopkins cannot be learned, but it is thought to be slight. It was only a few weeks since that Sheriff Geo. S. Dove's store, at Leeland, only a few miles from the scene of the present robbery, was entered. Sheriff Dove lost nothing of any consequence, as he did not have his money in the store. No clues to the robbers have been found, but they are thought to be parties living in the vicinity of the robberies. Mr. Glen Houtz of Washington a visit to his sister, Mrs. Sontag. Special police for the town have been sworn in for extra duty during the fair. ‘The new fountain for the artesian well is being put in.

FOREST GLEN. Miss Marla Broderick has fully recovered from her recent serious illness. Mr. W. H. Nelson, wife and family have gone to Chapel Point for an outing. Farmers in thi8 vicinity are complaining that unless the drought is soon broken the corn crop will be greatly injured. Many fields planted the latter part of May or early in June, that two weeks ago looked good for large yields, now look as if the grain was nearly ripe, while, as a matter of fact, the ears have just commenced to form. Late potatoes will be a total failure unless rain soon falls. Judging from the talk indulged in just now we will soon have substantial evidence that the electric line to this place will be built in the very near future. —_—.—__. GAITHERSBURG. A very successful lawn party was given Thursday evening at the pleasant home of Mr. James 8. Windsor, at Darnestown, under the auspices of the Mission Band of the Presbyterian Church of that town. Thirty dollars were realized. The regular monthly meeting of the town council has been called for Wednesday evening.

Briggs, who was sum- moned to Cumberland to identify the body of a young map killed by the cars there, has arrived home, bringing the glad news that the young mar killed was not his brother Uriah, as was reported, who dis- appeared from home some two weeks ago. Miss Minnie Smith of Oakland is visit- ing friends in this town. ——_.—_ HYATTSVILLE. A runaway accident happened here yes- terday which resulted in the wagon of Mr. Meyers, who resides near Riverdale, being smashed to pieces. Mrs. Meyers, who was driving the horse, had stepped into Ma- gruder’s store to purchase a few articies, and had left the animal in charge of a colored boy, who tied it to a post and went away. Two colored boys came by and struck the horse with switches, frightening the animal and causing it to break away from the post. Dashing up Johnson avenue it ran into several trees and a lamr post on the sidewalk, upsetting the wagon, com- pletely demolishing it and breaking loose from the harness. The horse then made a circuit of the town and came down Mary- Jand avenue, where it was caught by Fritz Damback. The town authorities are on the lookout for the colored boys who frightened the animal. Lakeland Lodge, No. 124, Knights of Pythias, met Thursday evening at its castle hall in Lakeland, and conferred the rank of esquire upon Mr. Moses G. Smith of Hyattsville.

Mr. and Mrs, John Morehead are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Kearney. An enjoyable dance was given last Thurs- day evening at the home of Mr. C. C. Hyatt, near Mitchellville, in honor cf Miss Helen Turner of Baltimore. The lawn was brilliantly illuminated with Japanese Jan- terns and presented a beautiful appear- ance. A select orchestra from Washington furnished the music, and the spacious drawing rooms were in excellent condition for dancing. A bountiful supper was served about 11 o'clock. A number of young peo- ple from the surrounding country were present. Dancing continued until a late hour. S. G. Townshend, treasurer of Prince George's county, has given notice that he will be at the following places in the county on the dates mentioned, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., for the pur- pos? of collecting the taxes due the state and county: Laurel, Monday, September 2, Milstead’s Hotel; Branchville, Tuesday, September 3, Scaggs’ store; Bladensburg, Wednesday, September 4, Coldenstroth’s Hotel; Bowie, Thursday, September 5, Bowie station; Piscataway, Friday, Sep- tember 6, Boswell’s store; Nottingham dis- trict, Monday, September 9, H.

A pleasant dance, which was attended by a number of young people of this village, was given last evening at the old Hyatt rransion, on Bowie avenue, the residence of Mr. and Mrz. H. C. Dobbs. The “School of Firance” held its regular semi-monthly meeting in Central Hall Tuesday evening. On taking the chair the president, Maj. J. S. Duffie, stated that Mr. Henry Jones of Georgia, who was adver- tised to address the meeting, had been taken suddenly ill, which prevented him from coming. He also stated that he hai called on Secretary Morton, who had indi- cated a willirgness to come out and make an address. The members then went into a@ promiséuous discussion, and for an hour or more it was quite lively. Among those who spoke were Drs. E. L. and B. B. Det- wiler, C. D. Choate, Capt. H. H. Garrett, H. W. Blarchard and others. A large num- ber were present, including many ladies, quite a number of whom are members of the “school.” During the past two or three weeks a committee of the Congregational Church has been examining hymn and tune books, with a view to recommending a new one for use in the church. At the Wednesday evening meeting they reported in favor of “Many Voices,” by Dr. Talmadge. The meaas for the purchase of the books have been raiscd by the Ladies’ Aid Society. The report was adcpted. A young child of Mr, Charles Starr one Gay this week fell from a_ second-story window of his house to the ground, a dis- tance of about fifteen feet, but was not se- riously injured. Miss Nettie Baker, who is a teacher in the “Iowa Institute,” at Glenwood, Iowa, will leave on Sunday to resume her duttes. Mr, Chas. H.

A characteristic anecdote has been told since their death of the two English au- thors—Robert Louis Stevenson and John Addington Symonds. Stevenson, though one of the kindest men in the world, was one of the frankest, and would often startle his companions by an outburst of candor which, like a flash of lightning, revealed their shortcomings. He visited his friend Symonds when he was last in England, and bore good-humor- edly for a day or two with the perretual morbid self-analysis and complaints of the Injustice of fate with which that able man incessantly tormented himself and his friends. At last, while they were speaking of Al- pine travel, Symonds asked his guest what was the dizziest height to which he had ever climbed, and which had alarmed him most. “The most dangerous height to which I ever climbed,” said Stevenson, “was Mount Ego. I reached the top and tooked all over it. I never got over that dismal view! I wouldn’t advise anybody,” he added, sig- nificantly, “to give himself up to looking at ft. Some day one would overreach one’s self, and topple in.”” oo African Mahogany. From the Woodworker. Mahogany cut from the forests discovered by Staalzy in his expedition for the rescue of Emin Basha now teaches this country. ‘These forests are said to be inexhaustible, ard are probably of equal, perhaps of greater, value than the richest gold or diamond mines of the dark continent. Cap- italists were interested in Stanley's account, and a flourishing trade in the timber has resulted. Prices of mahogany products were in a fair way to rise to excessive fig- ures until the cutting began in Africa. This has only been within the past year, but prices have already fallen 20 per cent. ‘A carload was recently delivered at Louis- ville at a net cost of $80 per 1,000 feet, whereas it had been a common thing for mahogany to sell at auction in Liverpool, Ergland, for $100 per 1,000 feet. Hereto- fore the principal sources of supply have been the forests of Central America, Cuba, San Domingo and Brazil. Already 12,000,- 000 feet have been cut and exported from ‘Africa, and the trade promises to yield an immense revenue to the British and French colonists who have seized the mahogany territory. This African mahogany has a pinkish tinge in contrast to the reddish yellow color of the American varieties. ‘Phe trees are vecy large, and logs received in the shipment mentioned were two feet to three and a half feet in size. They are squared before being exported. — ——_ +e Strictly Business. From the Indianapolis Journal. you air the feller that is giving the show at the opry house, ain’t you?” asked the fat man with the red face. The fat man did not look to be a pass fiend, so Mr. Barnes Tormer swallowed the insult in the word “show,” and replied with dignity, “I am.” “Well,” the fat man went on, “I want to make a Kittle deal with you. If you will say, when tha feller asks that question about what meat Caesar fed on, that he must have got so fat by gitt’n’ his meat at Sprager’s anti-trust home butcher shop, I'll see that your trunks go along with you when you leave town.’ Horseless Vehicles Not New. From the Indianapolis Journal. = “Talk about ‘these horseless vehicles,” said Uncle Si, “I seen ’em long ago.” “Why, pa!” began Aunt Mandy. “Oh, but I did.

First Tramp—“All I have in the world is a counterfeit quarter.” ence!” IN THE CMURCHES Though ‘the erectioncof church buildings during the last few years in this city has been unprecedented im. number, still com- paratively little attemtion hasbeen paid by those in charge} to the .dmportant feature of venttlationinisummer and. heat- ing in winter. Strauge:as it-may seem, some of our finest spesiaens of.-ecclesiasti- cal architecture are bildfy deficient in this respect, and more than wne poor Christian has been heard to givexvent to his right- eous indignation. This #ummer, however, things seem to be chasiging and one church in particular had-axcommission of .en- gineers from among the church members examine into the sanitary condition of the edifice. It is to be hoped that other con- gregations who contemplate building or improving will look into this feature and incorporate modern systems in their plans. Rev. Chas. B. Ramsdell ‘is evidently en- joying himself very much, to judge by a letter recently received from his temporary place of residence in the Blue mountains. He is expected home the latter part of this month. Rev. Dr. Gregg of Baltimore has been oceupying the pulpit of the North Presbyterian Church during Mr. Rams- dell’s absence. More than fourtecn months ago Trinity M. E. Church announced its intention of erecting a new church edifice on a lot which the congregaticr had purchased on Pennsylvania avenue southeast. This lot is there yet and Trinity Church is still lo- cated on 4th street. The difficulty, it is stated, lies in the fact that the congrega- tion is divided over the question of a suita- ble plan for the proposed edifice. In the absence of the regular pastor, Rev. Cc. W. Bakiwin, who is summering at Mountain Lake Park, and only comes down to Washington on Sundays, the officers of Wesley M. E. Church find the Gospel push- cart to be of great assistance in keeping up interest in matters religious. Persons who would not come inside of a church on these hot days are often to be found enjoy- ing the services in the cool of the evening in Judiciary Square, where they are for the most part being held. 2 Mount Vernon M. E. Church is in the hands of workmen. The main auditorium is being refrescoed, a carpet will be laid down in the lecture room, and the wood- work is being painted wherever needed. In the meantime, the lecture room is being used for Sunday services, and when the lecture room is in the hands of the work- men the services are to be conducted in the auditorium. The chances are that the Garden Memo- rial Presbyterian Church will have a new organ before the close of the present year. The Christin Endeavorers of the church have pledged themselves to the task of raising funds, and already have a consid- erable amount on hand. Rev. Daniel W. Skellenger, who has been spending the summer at Spring Lake, N. J., 1s expected home next weck. Since an Epworth League chapter was organized at the Brookland M. E. Church some weeks ago the membership has been much: increased, until now it compares favorably in numbers with the majority of the city chapters. The chapter has conducted the evening services, thereby enabling the pastor to give more of his time toward looking after matters con- nected with the new edifice that is being erected. Sunday, the Ist of September, will be the twentieth anniversary of Rev. Dr. F. D. Power's accession to the pastorate of the Garfield Memorial Church. When Dr. Power first czme to this city the congregation of the church worshiped dn a small frame structure, and then slater the fine edifice which it now occupies was built. From this congregation sprang the Ninth Street Christian Church somerfour or five years ago, and also the mission now being con- ducted under the direction of the parent organization in the southwestern section of the city. Two more beautifml specimens of what American glass blowers)and glass stainers can do have just been placed in the interior of St. Paul's Catholic Church. They are in the shape of double memorial windows, one representing “St. ‘Anthony and. Our Lord Togethet’” amd the other ‘Peter Walking on the Water.* The latter win- dow is in one’ piece} the mullion being re- moved. To do this, on account of the heaviness of the glass, the outside panes had to be placed in erossways and not up and down, as is the usual custom. The congregation of Epworth M. E. Church are now counting on holding serv- ices in the new: strueture in: the first part of October. The contractor has pushed the work of building steadily forward, and it is expected that the lecture room, which is located on the lower floor, will be ready by that time, in which case the services will be held there until the main auditorium is finished. Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, president of the Presbyterial Christian Endeavor Union, has received a promise from Rev. Dr. C. J. Laffin to deliver at the fall meeting of the organization an illustrated lecture on the subject of Africa. It will be remembered that Dr. Laffin was to have sailed in a few weeks for the dark continent in the in- terests of scientific exploration and other purposes, but was taken sick. It has been finally decided not to place the ornamental windows in the clere-story of St. Paul's Church for some time as yet. This decision was owing to the fact that the necessary scaffolding would be in the way, and in consequence the windows will not be. placed in position until platforms are erected for the workmen who are to do the frescoing, whic1 will probably not be attempted just yet. The subjects of the windows in the clere-story have, however, in neariy eyery instance been decided upon. The new house of worship of St. Andrew's P. E. parish is nearly completed, and what work remains to be finished is on the in- terior, and principally about the furnish- Ings of the church. Though the church will probably be ready for occupancy about the middle of September, it is not @xpected that the dedicatory ceremonies will be held until the first part of October, for the reason that it is the desire of the rector that the members of the congregation should have returned from their summer vacations be- fore that event. A change has been made in the personnel of the choir of St. Matthew’s Church. Mrs. Zaidze Jones Smith will take her former place as leading soprano. Miss Cecelia Murphy, who has been at St. Matthew's since Mrs. Smith left, and who has filled the difficult position very acceptably, will now return to her old position, as soprano at St. Aloysius Church, Rev. Isaac W. Canter, D. D., of Mt. Ver- non Church returns next week from Moun- tain Lake Park, where he has been spend- ing the latter part of the summer. He will preach at Mt. Vernon Sunday week, and expects to begin a year of vigorous work, chief among his plans being the starting of another mission church similar to the one that Mt. Vernon established at Del Ray, though the one this year will probably be located in this city. His family are alsa expected back from Clydesdale, on the Chesapeake bay, where they have spent the month of August. A month of hard labor has wrought quite a change in Calvary Baptist Church, though chacs still reigns supreme to the casual observer. The organ has been com- pleted and is ready to be put up, and the contractor has his men at work already on the plastering. When Br. Greene returns from his trip to Europe im October both the upper and lower flgors of the church will be fully ready for use. 4 The Metropolitam, Baptist Church has taken a practical and common sense way of solving a difficult problem. Since the death of thcir lamented pastor, Rev, Green Clay Smith, they ‘have (been flooded with applications from; various parts of the United States in behalfsof candidates for the pastorate. To settle the question, the deacons have adopted tke following plans: Each candidate will have the privilege of Preaching fcr two‘Sundays—morning and evening. The fina'»decision will be by a three-fourths vote of the-church. During the absence of Dr. Johnson, all the services of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, under the directions of the asso- ciate pastor, week day and Sabbath, are well attended. For: the season the congre- gations are large, morning and evening. The regular Epworth League services Sab- bath evening are followed by brief dis- courses of about twenty minutes. For a rumber of evenings the tople, “The Hymns We Sing,” has been a fruitful theme, and has drawn large audiences and created much interest. SS The Star Out of Tewn. THE EVENING STAR will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired at the rate of fifty cents per month, © But all such orders must be ac- companied by the money, or the paper cannot be sent, as no ac- counts are kept with mail subscrip- tions. Nervous Prostration, Mr. James W. King, an engineer, living at 2516 F street northwest, siated yesterday that for six Pfars Be, fad suffered from nervous and general de- lity.

There was an exceedingly thrilling scene at Boulevard bathing beach Thursday even- ing. It was yet daylight, and, the weather being cool, many wandered about the beach or Jounged on the pavilion, hesitating about taking a dip. There were but two persons in the water, @ young man and a young lady companion, and, of course, the watchers, ‘having noth- ing else to do, kept them constantly in sight. What a good time those two young-people had in the water! They acted as though they were sole proprietors of the chain of great lakes, and everybody envied them. Suddenly the young man dropped into the water and called to his lady companion. The excitement in the pavilion was in- tense. Had he been seized with cramps? No, for the young lady, after a brief con- ference with her submerged male friend, ran to the shore, across ihe sand as fast as her bebloomered legs could carry her, up the stairs, and into her dressing room. The situation became absolutely painful, for only the young man’s head could be seen peeping from the wavy depths, and he was evidently waiting. But for what? = In another moment the young lady trip- ped down the steps, across the beach, and into the water. She carried something bright red in her hands, waded over to the spot where the young man was quietly waiting, and handed it to him. “What was it?” everybody asked. The next move was the young lady’s sud- den disappearance from the billows, and as fast as she could ran into her dressing Toom. And the young man, where was he? In two minutes from the time of the girl’s disappearance a male figure elegantly at- tired in a red undershirt cautiously emerged from the water, made a break across the sand, up the stairway into the aressing room, and was soon lost to view. “Wonder what the trouble was?” every- body asked, and the curtain dropped.
