We beg to announce to our many customers in Washington that we have removed from our old location at 1203 F street to the commodious and elegant store formerly occupied by A. L. Hazelton at 423 7th street, where, with new and enlarged facili- ties, we shall be better able to cater to the wants of our exten- sive shoe trade. A cordial invitation-is extended to the public to attend our opening tomorrow, Saturday, October 5, when we shall exhibit our new and complete lines of fine shoes and_ slippers, every pair of which has been made especially to our order for our new store.

Yesterday Afternoon’s Session of the House of Deputies. The Episcopal house of depuiies spent practically all of the afternoon at Minne- epolis in the revision of the constitution, and while little headway was made, enough developed to show that the claim that the revision is not satisfactory is well founded. On every important point taken up the views of the revision committee were re- versed. A set of rules was adopted govern- ing the debate while in committee of the whole, and there was not much danger of the deputies getting tangled up. There was some confusion, and several motions had to be withdrawn before the deputies could act as they cesired. In the first place, the entire declaration with which the revision was prefaced was eliminated as something unnecessary. It was argued that if any declaration to the public was necessary ft should come in another way, as the consti- tution was for the government of the church and did not concern the publi There was but one dissenting vote to strii ing out the entire declaration. This was reversal number one for the re- vision committee. The second one was the restoring of the old name of the body which meets every three years. The re- on committee wanted to change the name from general “convention” to gen- era! “synod,” but the deputies would not have it that way, and by an overwhelming vote decided to keep the name as at pres- ent. There were several other names suggest- ed. There was some discussion, which was not finished when the session adjourned, relative to a clause which should act as a check on the house of bishops. The com- mittee did not put this in, but some of ti Geputies wanted to have it so that all bu: iness of the house of deputies m 1 acted upon one way or the otier w three days, or it would go into effect wiin- cut the sanction of the bishops. Last evening an elaborate reception was terdered the bishops and deputies at the West Hotel by Bishop Whipple and -\ssist- ant Bishop Gilbert of Minnesota, There was an immense jam, and a gathering of churchmen such as has seldom been seen in the northwest. te eee tM Let Growth of the Episcopal Church, From the Philadelphia Press. The Episcopal Church has grown rapidly during the past fifteen years. The census of 1899 showed that it ranked ninth in membership and third in value of church property among the denominations. Its number of members was 532,004, and it held property valued at $51 ‘The increase in the number of communicants between 1580 and 1800 was 18,898, or over 50 per cent, a relative growth equaled or surpassed orly by the Regular Baptists, the Cambel- lite Church, the Lutherans and the Pres- byterians South. The Regular Baptists, with a membership of 3,712,368, and the Methodist Church, with a membership of 4,580,281, increased in the same time, re- ebectively, 1,132,793 and 1,064,583. ‘The membership of the Episcopal Church is pretty evenly distributed over the coun- try, although Its greatest strength 1s shown in ‘New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Massachusetts. It has prospered bet- ter in the cities than in rural districts, owning over $50,000,000 in church property in 124 cities and having 255,526 members in the same communities, or about 6U per cent of its total property and 45 per cent of its rembership. Only one other Protes ant denomination, the Unitarian, has so large a percentage of its membership in cities. —e Parti-Colored Animals, From the Saturday Review. Almost every group of mammals has some member conspicuously striped, others spotted or covered with rosettes. Even those that ate plain or self-colored exhibit stripings or stars as a frequent abnormal- ity. Thus, most donkeys and horses show some trace of stars, of dapplings, or, in rarer though common cases, of zebra mark- ings. Most lions show here and there on their sides resette-like markings recalling the spots of the leopard. A very large number of self-colored animals ave ringed tails or spotted bellies. Another frequent occurrence is a disparity in coloration be- tween th> young and the full-grown skin among mary auimals. Dr. Bonavia men- tions that the piain colored puma gives birth to spotted young, while many deer, tinted a uniferm brewn when adult, are barred and spotted when young. He might have added that lion whelps almost invari- ably are spotted, and that tapirs are born with whitish spots on a brown ground color. His general conclusior is that all mam- mals were originally spotted and that stripes have resulted from the fusion of rows of spots, and self-color from the oblit- eration of spots. So far, he might find many naturalists prepared to agree with Him, and all naturalists willing to consider the collection of old and new facts tending toward his conclusion. On the other hand, however, Elmer, a German naturalist, who has made a special study of the markings of animals, has shown at least an equal weight of evidence in favor of the view that spots are the result of bands breaking up, and are newer than bands ir the history of animal: For our own part, we do not think that there is enough evidence to draw a definite conclusion either way. ———__—-+ee. Mercenary Excess Rebuked. From the Florida Times-Union. A little regro gamin passing along Bay street yesterday merning saw a stump of a cigar fall on the sidewalk in frent of the store of Ellis & Hussey. He made a sec- ond-base slide for it, and when he had it safely corralled bereath him, he rolled his eyes around the points of the compass to see if another gemin had also seen the stump fall. “Dat war in Cuba is making Havanas skace, an’ you can't take no chances,” he remarked, as he brushed off the ash and blew away the sand ard dust from the coveted snipe. Going into the store, said to Charley Ellis: Tioss, gimme a match, please, sab.” hes are not here to give away, but said Mr. Ellis, assuming a lock of ‘Well, how much is dey ‘er box?” “One cent.” ‘The gamin tilted the stump in one corner of his moutn, held to the band of his pan- taloons with one hand, ran the other hand in his pocket, and pulled forth a copper. “Gimme a box,” and he laid down the cent.

TROUT IN SPRINGS, DUCKS ON MARSH The Prairie Chicken and Quail Pro- tected and Fostered. ———— GOOD PLACE FOR > SPORT Correspondence of The Evening Star. VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass., Oct. 3, 1895. Martha's Vineyard is where the weary sea fowl grow fat and logy when the tardy tourist has put on thick underwear and de- parted across the walloping waves. Among the few Washingtonians who are still here are Maj. Barnett of the quartermaster’s de- partment, with his family; Gen. and Mrs. W. B. Rochester and Surgeon Banks of the marine hospital service and his family. Mrs. E. R. Lee left last week for a few days’ stay in Boston previous to an eight months’ trip to Europe. The islanders, as for years at this season, are having a glorious round of sport with the variety of strong-winged flyers that frequent the bays and creeks on the ocean side, or South Beach. This island, as well as being a paradise for devotees of the hook and line, is also frequented by lovers of the gun. The name of the island might as well have been Martha’s game preserve, or Martha's hunt- ing ground, for it happens that there is not a vineyard here, while for shooting— ask any one who has made life uncertain for the fowl and prairie chickens, plover and all sorts of beach birds. Glory of the Autumn, As a rule a successful gunner has very little to say when asked where he goes for game. The angler is chary when you in- quire where the trout hide, and, if he has the wherewithal, it is not infrequent for him to post every brook he can control and prosecute trespassers. The writer has seen many baskets of trout, shining fellows of good proportions, that were taken from the cool springs hereabouts, yet the proud pos- ssor of the fish had simply whipped streams not far away from the steamboat wharf. The entire northern shore of the Vine- yard is filled with these trout streams just teeming with the speckled beauties. Some are leaping mountain brooks, others are placid streams that flow softly through verdant meadows where the daisy and buttercup nod and the bobolink makes liquid_sweetness in the air as he hovers ver his mate on her nest in the rushes low. The sign “No Fishing” catches our cye and the beauty of the landscape fades away as you glance apprehensively about you for the bulldog. These brooks are all protected, being stocked and leased by devoted disciples of Izaak Walton, but if you can fortunately obtain a permit from one of the members, some glorious sport will reward vour efforts. The south side of Martha’s Vineyard is a dreary sand waste, perhaps twenty-tive miles long. Against the beach roll the breakers with never-flagging energy. A mound or harrier of sand rises from the water line, and now and then an inlet makes into the land. This beach is as crooked as a straight edge is straight. There are many ponds that make into the ocean, and littie sand dunes lend the country a desvlate ap- pearance. When ducks are making their way south, in fall, the island appears to be one of their favorite resorts. There is abundant feed in the shallow ponds or waterways thut give the iand the appear- ance of an emerald studded with burnished metal, Ducks, as a rule, are continually en the move in these waters. They fly to and from the feeding grounds with the rise and fall of the sun. Just before the day dawns and in the evening hours the birds come the thickest and afford the best sport. The Fall Shooting. Local gunners have for years made a feature of the fall shooting. Concealed in the oak groves that fringe the beach are many shooting houses built expressly to commodate parties who try their luck with the fowl. These houses are not large -nor are they possessed of architectural beauty. But their roofs are tight and the sides are well battened to exclude cold winds. In the rear of the house is a shed, in which horses are hitched during the stay of the gunners on the premises. The interior of the little houses is very cozy. A tier of bunks occu- pies one side. There are a cooking stove, a large table, chairs and a fairly good kitchen. Some of the buildings have floors construct- ed of boards,wnile the majority,however,are fitted with hard clay foundations. A raci for guns and other accouterments is a con- spicuous feature of the living room, and at times cockroaches are in evidence. These houses are quite a distance from the beach, where the men take their stand, for »he fowl are very wary, the best positions 'eing at necks of land where an inlet makes into a pond. The fowl pass over the point when flying from or leaving the ponds, and, as a rule, wing along at a mile a minute clip. Fifty a Day. Fifty black ducks a day is not an unusual bag for a party of good shots, while oc- easionally they are rewarded with a goose or two. Along the beaches fair luck is had with waders and other feathered butter- balls. Plover shooting also is now very good, ard the birds are not hard to call down. A five-mile drive, more or less, over rough wood roads and fields is one of the drawbacks to the sport. It is customary to make a start in the evening, and the earlier the wagons get under way the better it is for the horse and man, as there are no light houses or dwelling houses in the desolate south side country, Along the upland coun- try on the northern shores of the Vineyard Hon. A. S. Berry of Kentucky owns a sim- mer home and game preserve, and with friends enjoys some princely quail shooting at this season of the year. Prof. N. 8. Shaler, the eminent geologist, owns many acres of land adjoining Berry's, which he sows each year with grain, and allows no sheotirg, thus keeping the adjoining coun- try stocked with quail and “Bob White” whistlers all along the shore of the sound. Woodcock and ruffed grouse are also found there. ‘The Prairie Chicken. Quoting from Mr. G. W. Eldridge, the well-known hydrographer, who is an ardent admirer of the Vineyard: “But the prince of all upland birds on the Vineyard, as else- where, is the prairie chicken. These birds are the last remnants of a race that ha3 been driven beyond the Mississippi by the advance of civilization.” The writer has seen and shot countless specimens of this species in the Indian territory. These Vine- yard birds are different in habit and en- vironment, which makes them somewhat larger and stronger of flight than the west: ern birds, from which they can be readily distinguished by those familar with both varieties. They are known on ithe is the local rame of “heath hen,” a that once got a briny legislator, who had spent more of his youth in the forecastle than at school, into orthographical diffi- culties, for he called down the wrath of his Vineyard constituents on his head by pre- senting befure the legislature of Massachu- setts a Dill to protect the “heathen of Mar- tha’s Vineyard.” —_._— A Mental Stimulas, The first installment of the great mys- tery story, “When the War Was Over,” by Frederick R.

A New Delight for the Traveler and Misery for the Baggagema: It wasn’t very long ago when a person going on a journey of any substantial dis- tance was obliged to pay almost as much for a trunk as a ticket. The bag- gage smashers who infested railway sta- tions and depots seemed to live only for the purpose of breaking up luggage, as our English friends call it, and scattering its contents over platforms. Some refo-m had to be brought about, however, and wise heads went to work on the problem cf trunk manufacture. Sole leather was costly, and soon became soiled and bruised; metal was out of the question on account of its weight, and so the question nar- rowed down to one of lightness and dura- bility, A Star reporter about to take a g trip went into J. S. Topham's estab- shment, at No. 1231 Pennsylvania ave- erday afternoon to look at trunks. ington Topham took him ip and made the visit particularly charge, interesting. “There has been a radical change in the manufacture of trunks in the past few said Mr. Topham. “The trunk of today is free from the ornamentation which formerly added so much to its cost: its top is flat, instead of curved, which adds another element of cheapness, and durability is doubled in the styles now in vogue over those formerly affected. Bass. wood, covered with canvas and trimmed with ‘sole leather, nickel, brass or iron, makes a very good trunk for those who do rot desire to pay more than $10 for such a necessary article. Ordinary usage will not injure it. “Is there an absolutely unbreakable trunk manufactured?" he continued, re- peating the reporter’s question. “Most cer- tainly. We make 2nd sell many of them. Now, here is a trunk,” he went on, pulling out an oblong olive green article, “that could be thrown from the top of the Wash- ington monument without breaking it.” Mr. Topham here stepped on top of the trunk, and, jumping in the air, came down with all his force upon it. Again ind again he repeated this, and the trunk gave No evidence of the hard treatment. “That trunk is made of leatherofd,” he remarked when he had ri red his breath. “What fs leatherold? Why, sheets ef manilla paper joined together by a chemical process under a pressure of 20,000 pounds to the inch. It is impervious to water and as tough as rawhide. Then it’s lighter than wood. It needs the hard- est kind of a steel bit to bore those rivet holes through it. They come at different prices, and this one is $21.” Mr. Topham also sold his customer a double dress sult cace that is a novelty in convenience. It contains as much room as a Gladstone bag, with the added com- fort of hanging snug to the leg when being carried. It may be incidentally remarked that Mr. Topham alone manufactures leatheroid trunks and the double dress sult cases above described, which are only ad. ditional instances to show that Washing- ton is not alone important as a city of resi- dences. a CAPT. ARMES TO BE TRIED. Charges for the Consideration of a Court-Martial Formulated, As stated in Tuesday's Star, Capt. George A. Armes, U.S. A., retired, will be tried by court-martial for his alleged insult to Gen. Schofield, regardless of the result of the habeas ccrpus proceedings before Judge Bradley of the District Supreme Court to- morrow. Acting under instructions from Secretary Lamont, Judge Advocate General Lieber has formulated the charges upon which Capt. Armes will be arraigned before the military tribunal. The charges are two in number, the first being conduct to the prejudice of good order and military disci- pline, and the second conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The specitica- tions to each charge Include a copy of the letter written by the accused to Lieut. Gen. Schofield while that officer was acting as Secretary of War, and recite briefly the in- subordinate efforts made by Capt. Armes to forcibly enter the office of the latter when he had been denied admission. As will be remembered, Capt. Armes publicly accused his superior officer of having acted from im- proper motives in a purely military question affecting the brevet rank of the writer. The court-martial will assemble in this city, probably at the Washington barracks. The detail for the court has not yet been made nor has any date been fixed for its meeting. These matters will be arranged after the case is disposed of in the civil courts. Mr. J. M. Morrison, chief clerk of the judge advocate general's office, who will represent the Secretary of War in the hear- ing before Judge Bradley tomorrow, has filed a supplemental return with the court, giving io detail all the circumstances on which the arrest of Capt. Armes was based, including the obnoxious letter written to Gen. Schofield. Military authorities, without exception, agree as to the amenability of officers on the retired List to the articles of war. Although Capt. Armes may have been exempt from ordera from Gen. Schofield in his military capacity, they say he was certainly subject to the autherity of the President as com- mander-in-chief of the army, and it so hap- pens that at the time of the alleged offenses Gen. Schofield was the actual civil represen- tative of the President in the War Depurt- ment. In other words, the offense was com- mitted against the Secretary of War and not alone against the general commanding the army. It ts said that Capt.
