IN THE CHURCHES A question that Is likely to receive a good deal of attention this winter from the clergy and those religiously inclined is that of Institutional churches. It has, in fact, been already thoroughly discussed at meetings of the several ministers’ associations and is apt to receive much more attention when two or three ehurches that are contem- plating radical departures from the beaten paths of religious work put thelr projects into actual being. Just what constitutes an institutional church is a mooted question, and at one or two debates last spring the obscurity of the de‘iniiion provoked much confusion. One church Js said to have un- der consideration a building in which courses of lectures on art and kindred sub- jects may Be given, a night school, sym- naslum and a bowling alley and a reading room. Another church has such a building suitable for such purpos2s, and purposes to utilize it in a similar way, though not to so great an extent. In fact, while Washington is rapidly approaching Brooklyn as a city of churches, it may also take trent rank as a place for religious Innovations. The Ready Circle of the King's Daughters and Sons of the Epiphany P. E. Church held its first meeting of the season after the summer interim in the guild room last Fri- day evening week. The president, Arthur Woodward, was in the chair. A plan of re~ organization was proposed, and a commit- tee of eight members appointed to consider it. General Secretary James E. Pugh of the Young Men's Christian Association has pre- pared a complete program of speakers and their topics, to be conducted by members of the local Brotherhood of Andrew and Philip at the Tuesday evening meetings for men at the association. Two of these meet- ings have already been held, and it is to the credit of the brotherhood that last Tuesday evening the largest number that has yet turned out to thesé summer gatherings was present, the attendance being greater than any at those conducted by the taree other religious organizations of the city. The completed program i: as follows: September 3—"The Young Old Man;” leader, H. M. Kintz of the First Congregational Church Chapter. September 10—“A Young Man Who Could Not Be Diverted From Duty;” leader, C. 'T. McBride of the Eastern Pres- byterian Church Chapter. September 17— “A Young Men's Conference;” jeader, J. V. Lackey of the Brotherhood of the Western Presbyterian Church. September -24—“A Young Man and His Counciliors;” leader, W. W. Tuckey of the Brotherhood of An. drew and Philip of the Sixth Presbyterian Church. ev. Joseph T. Kelly, pastor of the Fi Presbyterian Church, expected to reach, Washington in time ‘to fill his pulpit the first Sunday in this month, but has been prevented by the continued liness of his father-in-law, whom he accompanied to Maine in the hopes of regaining the health ef the latter. Mr. Kelly is, however, ex- pected back from Maine by the Ist of Oc- toker. and will then take charge of his pulpit. At the bi-monthly mass meeting of the local council, Brotherhood of St. Andrew, held this week in Ascension Church, reso- lutions were offered by Vice President Bar- nabus Bryan of Emmanuel Chapter, and adcpted by the council, expressive of 30r- row at the untimely death of Mr. Dana Davenport of Anacostia, who was a mem- ber of Emmanuel Chapter of the Brother hood, and well known to many members of the local council. Mr. Bryan, in offering the resolution, spoke very feelingly of the character of the unforturate young man, and was followed in the same strain by several other speakers. Several additions were made to the in- terior of St, Paul's Catholic Church this week. One was the handsome baptismal font mentioned in The Star several weeks ago, and which is the gift of Miss Mary Carey Fellows. It is of Gothic design, cor- responding to the architecture of the church. and is much admired. Four of the handsome stained glass windows contract- ed for from a Cincinnati firm have also ar- rived and are in position. Each is a mem- oria} and the donations of members of the parish. Next Tuesday evening the Young Peo- ple’s Society of Christian Endeavor of the Czlvary Baptist Church is to have a de- rominational meeting. It is to be a his- torical meeting, the subject being “Our Past.” Among the interesting features is to be an address by the Rev. Dr. J. G. Muir, pastor of the E Street Baptist Church. Before the great Christian En- deavor, convention came off last July so meny queries were asked through the re- Iigious press as to whether it was allow- able to be a member of the Baptist Young People’s Union and the Christian Endeavor at one and the same time that a number of Prominent Baptist ministers came out in an address in the affirmative, and ever since then there have been a number of these denominational rallies held on the Endeavor lines. The National Gospel Mission Union, an organization instituted in this city last spring, is making arrangements to hold the first convention of the association in Wash- ington about the middle of October, though the exact date has not yet been decided upon. The authorities of the union have already corresponded with Mrs. Whitte- m.cre of the Door of Hope Mission, New York city; with S, H. Hadley of the Water Street Mission, New York; Dr. Louis Klopsch, proprietor of the Christian Her- ald; Mr. R. J. Reed of Chicago, and others. The persons just mentioned have given their indorsement of the movement, and have consented to take part in the pro- ceedings of the convention. The Silver Lake Quartet, a well known musical or- ganization, has been engaged for a three- days’ session. It is proposed to have the first day in- clude all local charitable and missionary or- ganizations, each organization having time allotted to it for a statement of its work. In this part of the program the Women's Christian Temperance Union, the ¥. M. C. A., Christian Endeavor, Epworth League and others will be invited to take part. Such assurances have been received from abroad that the convention is expected to be a great success, and result in a great increase in the membership of the union. It is paiterned after the Christian workers’ conventions, and arrangements for it are in charge of the local members of the board of directors of the Central Union Mission. The last Sunday of this month will be celebrated at the mbly Presbyterian Chureh Sunday school as rallying day. A prcgram of special exercises will be pre- sented, participated in by the Christian En- deavor Society, the Sabbath school and the other societies of the church. Rey. Charles L. Pate returned last week frcm Washington Grove, where he has been enjoying cottage life since the ist of June. Mr. Pate preached a number of times at the Grove, and was also present at Mountain Lake Park during the exercises in August there. During the summer several changes have been made to the interior arrange- qent of the North Capitol Sunday school reom. Partitions have been placed in the nrerthwest and southwest corners of the rcom, and in these smaller rooms thus formed the ladies’ Bible class and the men’s Bible class ave been located. The classes of the school that formerly occupied this section of the lecture room have been moved up into the main auditorium of the church. - Presiding Elder Luther B, Wilson of this district of the M. E, Church conference is now at Ocean Grove, with his family. Dr. Wilson left the Ist of September, and is ex- pected back by the first of next week. This is the first rest that he has taken this year, though he was up at Mountain Lake Park for a few days in August. Rev. Samuel H. Greene, D. D., pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, is expected to resume his pulpit the first Sunday in Octo- ber, though he will return from Europe eccner than then, but will pass a couple of weeks at his old home in Vermont. Rev. Mr, Bliss of this city will fill the puipit to- morrow at Calvary, and the remalaing two Sundays President Whitman of Columbian ‘University will deliver the sermon. Work is still progressing steadily forward on the extensive improvements to the church, but they will not be finished as soon as was ex- pected, it being the hope of the congrega- tion to hold the first service the first Sun- day in October. The organ arrived this week, but will not be set up and completed for some time as yet. The whole structure will not be fully completed until about tite last of October, but when it is, none of its regular worshipers will be able to recog- nize the interior, so improved in every way, as it will be. Tha opening session of the Baptist Min- isters’ Association is to be held Monday morning in the Sunday schovl house of Caivary Church. The meeting will bede- voted to the outlinirg of work for the win- ter, and after that the sessions ar@ to be held every Monday morning at Calvary Church. Rev. A. F. Anderson, who is sec- retary of the association and pastor of Grace Church, arrived home a week or two ago, and is at his post again. The parish school of St. Cyprian’s Church op2red Mondey of this week with an in- creased attendance over that of last year. Another class of a higher grade has been added to the school. The patronal feast of the parish is to be celebrated Sunday week by a solemn high mass, ut which the Rev. George W. Devine of St. John’s Church, Baltimcre, is expected to preach. The Fifteenth Street Methodist Episco- pal Church, or, at least, the old church building, is demolished, and work was started this week on the excavation. As it fs necessary to level the former hign terrace several feet lower, it is not ex- pected that the contractor will be ready for the cerner stone laying before three weeks yet. Bishop John F. Hurst, chancellor of the American University, opened the Detroit conference of the M. E. Church this wec! at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and incideutally put in some strong words in behalf of the university. Next week he will preside at the Michigan conference at Albion, and will soon afterward return to his home in this city. As a result of his earnest effort, the Swedish M. 12. conference, which was session at Chicago recently, and was ad- dressed by the bishop, has sent in a sub- scription of about four hundred dollars to- ward the university fund. Dr. 8S. L. Beil- er, the vice chancellor, is traveling with a similar purpose through the western States, and will return to Washington the second week in October. The Sabbath school of North Capitol M. EE. Church now has the musical portion of its exercises corsiderably improved by an orchestra of eight pieces, recently organ- ized. The chorister is Dr. J. T. Hens- ley, and the orchestra is made up of a bass viol, two cornets, three violins, a flute and a tenor Lorn. In addition to the pieces, the schcol possesses an organ and a piano. Sunday, October 6, will be celebrated as “Rally day” by the Sabbath school of Cal- vary Church. The rally to be divided into three parts, as follows: The first part. will be the rally proper; the second, a re- ception to Dr. Greene on the part of the Sunday school scholars, and the third and last, an effort to raise five hundred dol- lars for the benefit of the library. Enyel- copes have been distributed for this latter purpose, and when their contents are all gathered in, a thousand new books will be purchased, if possibile. The library, the way it stands now, contains nearly two thousand volumes, but the number is re- garded as insufficient. It is the ultimate intention of the church authorities to es- tablish a reading room in the church build- ing adjoining, and this project will be car- ried forward just as soon as possible. The officers of Wesley M. BE. Church are about to put in a new carpet on the lecture room of the structure. New chan- deliers,with white light burners, will also be provided. The pastor of the congregation, Rev. C. W. Baldwin, M. A., is contemplat- ing a series of Sunday evening sermons on “Pilgrim’s Progress,” illustrated by stereopticon. Dr. Baldwin, president of the Mountain Lake Park Association, is back in Wash- ington, after having been away about three weeks, and in,discoursing about the im- provements made at this great Methodist camp ground during the last year said that the authorities have spent about eight thousand dollars on it in a few months, and that thirty new cottages were erected last spring, representing a large additional outlay, though on the part of private per- sons. In all there are about a hundred and fifty cottages now at the park. The principal attraction added to it has been a lake of atcut twenty acres in extent, and made by damming the Broad Ford run, a clear mountain stream. The dam is built of Wheeling dressed stcne and of broken stone and sand cement. An ice house, with a capacity of two thousand tons, has been built, and the lake has as accessories a handscme rustic bridge spanning the spill of the dam and a boat house with ten new boats attached to it. The Chautauqua program was in charge of Rey. Dr. W. L. Davidson. The Rev. Frank Rewall returned this week from his vacation in Maine, and will preach tomorrow at the reopening services of the New Church. —_—_ All Quiet in Ecuador. The State Department has received a cablegram from Minister Tillman at Quito, Ecuador, stating that Alfaro, the revolutionary general, and his army had occupied Quito’since the Ist instant. He adds that all is quiet there now. Vice Consul Dawson hus cabled the de- partment from San Salvador that Mrs. Mutchmeyer, an American woman, died at San Salvador last night. Her husband, who was formerly United States consul at that point, died there a few days ago. eS Bank Receiver Appointed. The controller of the currency has ap- pointed Mr. A. P. Haggard recriver of the First National Bank of Dayton, Tenn., in place of Mr. David B. Plumlee, resigned. — === IN MUSICAL CIRCLES Washingtonians Who Have Been Stocessful on the Operatic Stage. Homer Lind’s Hit With the Carl Rosa ‘Troupe in Dublin—Other Mat- ters of Interest. Many Washington musicians Kave gone abroad to complete their musical educa- tion, but most of them have returned to this country to reap the benefit of their hard study in developing the talent they possessed. A few have remained on the other side of the water, but the measure of their success has never been really known. Occasionally some from this cfty who huve been traveling in Europe huve met these self-exiled :nusicians, and have come back with stories of tHe lives that they were leading, but none of the newspapers of the cities in which they appeared have ever been gent home to chronicle their success. It is always pleasant to speak of the suc- cess of Washington people in any walk of life, more particularly in any branch of musical srt, where the competition is so great that one must show signal ability in order to command attention. Washington has produced some excellent singers, who have made good reputations on the operatic stage, and who have reflected credit upon themselves and their native city. Mr. Wm, Pruett and Miss Lizzie Macnichol are two who are now winning laurels in the same opera in New York, and by their singing ard acting kave contributed largely to the success of De Koven's latest production, “Rob Roy.” Mr. Pruett’s baritone voice is among the best upon the operatic stage, and Missy Macnichol’s contralto is of that rich, reedy quality that is so rare in a voice of such volume and extensive range as she possesses. Last summer Mr. Louis Lindheimer, or, as he had become known on. the stege, Homer Lind, returned to this, his native city, after spending several years in Ger- many cultivating his naturally fine bari- tore voice. He had commenced its im- provement here under Mrs, Mills, but went abroad to get thai finish and to be in that musical atmosphere that every young sing- er finds so advantageous. He gave one sung recital here, and his friends were gratified at the great progress he had made, and the public readily recognized Lim as an artistic singer. He had offers te remain in this country, but none of them were to his liking, and he returned to Ger many, where he had already some engage ments to fulfill, and soon afterward wag engaged by the Carl Rosa English Opera Company for the remainder of last season and for the whole of the present year. That he has succeeded is evident from the enthusiastic press notices given him in Dublin, where the company commenced its season, The Freeman’s Journal, speaking of his performance of Peter in “Hansel and Gretel,” says: “Homer Lind has a wonder- fully good voice, and no better impersona- tion of the character could be desired. He enters right into the spirit and meaning of it, and there is a wonderful touch of pathos conveyed by his acting and vocalism in one scene. He is a thorough artist, and his re-. appearance will be always welcomed.” The Irish Times thus speaks of his interpreta- tion of Kans the Pedlar in Mendelssohn's “Son and Stranger?’ “Mr. Homer Lind threw himself heart and soul into the part of the Pedlar, and had no little to do with the success of the performance. His ren- dering of ‘I'm a Roamer’ was enthusiasti- cally received.” It is understood that there will be several performances of opera by amateurs this winter, and many local singers of both sexes will be heard in the casts, There is no city of its size in the country that has as much amateur operatic talent as Wash- ington, and that 18 why there has never been a bad performance of that character given in this city. Mrs. George H. Gorham of this city has had her picture taken with her banjo hung in assembly hall at the Atlanta exposition. Mrs. Kate Scott Brooks will’sing with the Immaculate Conception Church choir when it resumes Its work for the season Sunday, the 22d instant. Mrs. Clara Baker Smith, who has so ably conducted this choir for many years, will continue in charge, with Mr. Arthur D. Mayo as organist. Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry has not yet commenced work with the choir at St. An- drew’s Episcopal Church, Miss Florence Grigg being substituted for her since the services were resumed. It is expected that Mrs. Berry will return to the city next week and sing the following Sunday. Mr. L, Eugene French, late director of St, Patrick's choir, has received an offer from St. Peter’s Church of this city. Mr. Henry Xander is home from his sunui- ner outing. Mrs. H. H. Mills will give one day a week during this winter in New York, where he: Gavghter, Miss Lottie Mills, the planiat, will be located. —_——_ THE RAILWAY Y. M. C. A.
