Upon Secretary, Morehouse especially de- Solves the duty of looking out over the field in an effort to secure a suitable man to fill such an important place. fyXt a meeting of the congregation of All ®culs’ Church held recently Dr. Shippen’s resignation was accepted, and the follow- ing resolutions were unanimously adopted: “That we accept the resignation, volun- tarily tendered, of our beloved pastor, Rev. Rush Khees Shippen. “That in accepting this resignation we bear willing and grateful testimony to his fidelity as a pastor; to his energetic min- . {strations as a preacher of our gospel; to the never-failing tact with which he has maintained among us the unity of the spirit in the bonds of peace, and to the deep and abiding impression made by his Kindly teaching and by his consistent Christian life and attractive personality, not only upon the lives of our people, but upon the life of our city through its organ- ized charities and varied philanthropies. “That in relinquishing his successful pas- torate of fourteen years in this metro- politzn and representative church of our denomination—a pastorate marred by no dissensions and marked by uninterrupted material and spiritual growth in our so- ciety—we tender to him and to Mrs. Ship- pen, beloved of all, the assurance of our enduring love, gratitude and tender re- gard.” Dr. Shippen’s Successor. ‘The pastorate of All Souls’ Church Is re- garded as one of the most important and desirable in this country, especially from the fact of its being at the national capital, ‘nd the members of the conference are in- terested in seeing that it shall be filled by an able and representative man. Four or five names have been suggested, and, while nothing definite has been done as yet, it is probable that the lot will fall to one of these. Two of the best-known of these ministers are from the far west, and they are to be in attendance at the coming con- ferenc They are Rev. Charles W. Wendte of Oakland, Cal., and Rev. Joseph H. Crooker of Helena, Mont. Mr. Wendte is the de- partment superintendent of the American Unitarian Association for the Pacific coast. He is a man of about middle age, and is regarded as one of the strongest and ablest members of the association. Arrangements have been made to have him preach at All Souls’ Church on two Sundays in Novem- ber. Rev. Mr. Crooker is to preach three Sundays December, and the chances are that the new pastor of the church will be chosen by the Ist of January next. Rev. Ida C. Hultin of Moline, Ill, who is to speak tomorrow evening on the subject {Religious Development Through Intel- lectual Leadings,” {s one of the brightest ‘women ministers in the country. She is ‘well known in this city through her inter- est in the national council of women, and is remembered as having delivered an elo- Quent sermon cn the occasion of its con- Vention in this city several years ago.

William Sutton, one of the colored boys arrested on suspicien of being the one who “held up” Miss Neta Roberts of Camp Springs on the road near Anacostia several days ago, was taken into court this morn- ing and given a hearing on a charge of highway robbery. The prisoner answered fully the descrip- tion Miss Roberts gave of the boy who held her horse and drew a pistol on her, and the police tad witnesses who located tha boy on the road near the spot where the robbery occurred. The facts In the case make it one of the regular wild west dime novel stories, and the perpetrator of the crime figured as the hero. Although young in years, he had probably read stories of masked robbers, and had endeavored to imitate one of those bold, bad men. Miss Roberts was seated in a vehicle, with her grandmother, and was on her way to the city at the time. She saw a colored boy standing near the fence on the road some time before she reached him. When she reached a point near where he was standing he stepped out and grabbed the bridle of Pointing a pistol at Miss Rob “Give me your money or yoi Miss Roberts e. became frightened and screamed, and, after giving up her purse, in which she had a small amount of money, was permitted to depart and re- sume her journey without further trouble. Sutton, the prisoner, was identified by Miss Roberts. When she appeared at the station to identify him a mask was put on him, and when the victim of the daring as- sault identified him a policeman says he nearly dropped dead. Judge Miller heard the proof, and held Sutton in $2,000 security for the action of the grand jury. — Colored Y. M. C. A. Yhe fall and winter work of the Colored Y. M. C. A. is now under full sway. The athletic and the literary departments have opened under exceedingly favorable auspices. Professor W. S. Montgomery, supervising principal of the public schools, will address the literary society this even- ing in the Y. M. C. A. Hall at 8 o'clock. His subject is “The Comparative Ability of the Negro and White Child in the Public Schools.” There will be excellent music provided, and good debaters to discuss the paper. On tomorrow (Tuesday) evening the athletic department will give a public exhibition, under the direction of Mr. E. S. Pogue, the new general secretary. This promises to be quite an attractive feature, as he is a trained gymnast. ——— Stricken With Apoplexy. Mr. T. C. Thompson of this city died suddenly last night in a drug store at 22d and Charles streets, Baltimore. Mr. Thomp- son lived at Takoma Park and was the Washington representative of Armstrong, Cator & Co. of Baltimore. With his daugh- ter he went to Raltimore to visit his friend, Dr. C. W. Neff. Mr. Thompson left the home of Dr. Neff last night to return to Washington, and before going to Union station to catch a train he took a walk with his daughter out Charles street. When near the drug store he complained of feeling sick and said he would go inside and get some medicine. He asked for medicine, but before it could be prepared he fell over on the floor. A physician was summoned, but Mr. Thompson died a few minutes after he arrived. The doctor said his death was caused by apoplexy. —_—— Craig & Harding’s Fall Opening. Yhe fall opening at Craig & Harding’s big F street furniture store, which began this morning, deserves to be called a great success in every way. The store has been handsomely decorated for the occasion, and countless articles that go to make a home comfortable and beautiful are displayed in most attractive style. All day long the big, building has been crowded with admiring purchasers, and the clerks have had a busy day of it. Furniture and house furnishings from the cheapest to the most elegant are cn view, and nothing is wanting to make stch an establishment complete. The open- ing lasts until 6 o’clock this afternoon and again from 7 to 10 o’clock this evening for the accommodaticn of those who are unable to get down town during the day. —_—_—.__ Epworth Convention. Epworth League chapters are taking a lively interest in the annual convention which will be held in the Metropolitan M. E. Church November § to 10 inclusive. The committee charged with the arrangement e details of the program for the three * session will meet in Foundry Church ednesday evening to’complete their da next W task. SS Westminster Abbey Verger. From the London Spectator, The story you give in the Spectator, es told by one of the speakers at the meeting of the Catholic Truth Society at Bristol, reminds me that the late Dean Stunley himself told me that a gentleman had called to tell him that he had been into the Ab- bey, and had knelt down to pray, when the verger had come up to him and told rim he must not kneel there. On asking why not, the verger had said: “Why, sir, if I was once to allow it, we should have them praying all over the place.” I also once heard of a gentleman visiting a church, and asking the sexton whether peuple ever used it for private prayer, to which he replied, “I ketch’d two of ‘em at it once.” THE SIGNAL SERVICE Annual Report of General Greely, in Charge of the Corps. VALUE OF THE BICYCLE SHOWN eee Satisfactory Results Developed in the School of Instruction. FLYING TELEGRAPH LID ES Gen. Greely, chief signal officer, has sub- mitted to the Secretary of War his report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1805. The permanent military telegraph lines operated by the signal corps aggregate more than 800 miles in length, running through mountainous. and desert country, and are reported now to be in better condition chan at any time during their existence. Their efficiency has been largely promoted by the replacement of wooden by iron telegraph poles, whose use is more economical than that of wooden poles, which deteriorate rapidly through climatic action, and fre- quently disappear entirely by theft in tree- less regions, where fuel and timber are val- uable. While the permanent telegraph ‘ines under the control of the chief signal officer of the army were primarily constructed for military purposes, they also subserve com- mercial interests. The total number of messages transmitted over the government wires, consisting of government, state and other official business, aggregate 60,308, an increase of nearly ten thousand messages over last year. The importance of the -nili- tary lines is very great, as they increase the efficiency and subserve the economical in- terests not only of the military establish- ments, but also of other branches of the government. In a military way ‘hey enable the commanding generals of deyartments to keep themselves promptly informed of the conditions and prospective disturbances on the great Indian reservations and along the Mexican frontier, and are thus ind: pensable for economical and efficient mi tary operations in connection with Indian outbreaks and border troubles. Value of the Bicycle. A not unimportant factor in the speedy re- pairs of the telegraph lines has been the substitution as a means of transportation for the repair men of the bicycle in place of the more expensive horse and wagon. The bicycle proves more rapid as well as more economical. In one case a break on the line was located two miles from the station in twenty m‘nutes—less time than would have been consumed in obtaining a mount. At another station, Taylor’s Ranch, Utah, the bicycle has resulted in a single year in a greater saving to the government than the cost of the machine. It is evident that no one make of bicycle will best fulfill the re- quirements imposed by various climatic conditions, and by roads varying from al- most pure sand to the roughest rocks. It seems probable that a bicycle weighing from twenty-five to thirty pounds with pneumatic tires will do the best general work. Flying Telegraph Lines. Special attention is given by the signal corps to the suitable equipment of its flying telegraph trains in all phases, from the connection of army headquarters with the permanent lines of the country to the provision for temporary telegraphic or tel- ephonic intercommunication between sepa- rate military commands while in camp or on the skirmish line. Flying telegraph trains equipped as far as practicable with the most modern appliances are erected at Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort Grant, Arizona, Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Fort Leaven worth, Kansas, and at The Presidio, San Francisco, Cal. = ‘The question of reeling out and recov- ering wire and outpost cable by bicycle, automatically, which wag under considera- tion at the date of the last annual report by the chief signal officer, has been most rapidly concluded, and this corps now has a bicycle equipped with an automatic reel for the purpose that works perfectly. The same automatic device is now being fitted to an outpost cable cart, three of which have been ordered, from which are con- fidently anticipated good results, as in the case of the bicycle. This will give the signal corps an equipment superior to that of any other country for rapid paying out and taking up a line, the operators being at all times in communication with the base. Each section of the field train will event- ually be supplied with bicycles and cable carts fitted with automatic devices. Long Range Heliographing. Due attention has been given to develop- ing the more important electrical commu- nicating devices by the signal cor2s. Helicgraphy is, perhaps, the most import- ant of these methods to a rapidly movirg army going over a country where the use of electrical instruments is inadvisable cr tempofardy impracticable. School of Instructio The instruction of enlisted men at Fort Riley, Kan., has been continued with sat- isfactory results. Th2 theoretical instruc- tion occupies four months and the practical two months. The course embraces elec- tricity, telegraphy, telephony, military sig- naling, field surveying, map making, and photography, and is designed to each man an expert signalist snd good telegraph operator, and qualify him to make rough field sketcaes uf photographio reconnaissance. Cordial relations with the militia of the various states have been cultivated. The necessity of signaling deveioped several years since in the National Guard has proved to be permanent. All the aid which has been possible to extend by the signal corps to the National Guard in the way of information, code «ards snd instructions for the various signaliag appliances have been given, and the need of intercommuni- cation in all military movements has im- presse] itself upon those in command of the citizen soldiery. Most acceptable work in signaling w done by the special detacnment at Fort Trumbull, Conn., in connection with the signal corps of New York and Connecticut during the practice of the New York naval reserves. Messages by flag and heliograph were transmitted rapidly and accuretely both in the Morse and general service ecdes. Military Colleges. The students of many institutions of learning throughout the country having shown great interest in military signaling, thirty-eight college officers of the regular army chave been detailed as professors of military science, and tactics have been sup- plied. as fully as practicable with small flags, code cards, signal instructions, and heliogtaphs. SS Bicycles Good for the Lungs. From the London Daily News. ‘Of all means of training the respiration Dr. Fortesque Fox thinks cycling is the best. When a person first takes to cycling he is troubled with shortness of breath, his heart beats uncomfortably, and his legs get tired, but after some training these discomforts disappear. Why should not people liable to attacks of asthma also train their respiration by such a kind of exercise—of course, on condition of the t and lungs being in perfect health? ing exercise first of all increases the Gepth of breathing, and that without fatigue, as the respiratory movements are automatic; at the same time it will ac- custom the rider instinctively to take in at each respiration the volume of air required to aerate the blood and to eliminate a fixed proportion of carbonic acid, leaving in the circulation the precise amount compatible with health. a ee We All Wonder.

A POLITICAL BLUNDER What Republican Politicians Say About Senator Sherman's Book, It Has Killed His Own Chances for the Presidency and Has In- jured His Party. Governor Foraker’s observation about the Sherman book, that he wished it had been withheld until after election, is repeated in republican circles here with additions. Governor Foraker’s reference was to the election next month. He was thinking of his own race now in progress. The reference here is to the national election next month a year, when, unless all signs fail, the republicans, in order to win, must be earnest and united. Killed His Own Chances, That Mr. Sherman's book will reopen many wounds, and in that way prove detri- mental to his party, is considered certain. It is likewise thought that, considering his own fortunes, this was the wrong time for the appearance of such a publication, Mr. Sherman’s name has beem seriously considered in connection with the next re- publican presidential nomination. The is- sue, in the opinion of some of the party leaders, seemed to be shaping Sherman- ward. His age alone was being quoted against him, and his friends quoted his mental and physical vigor against that. Even extreme silver men were speaking of him with entire respect, seeming to feel that if the other school of finance was to win it should be under the leadership of its founder and ablest exponent. But all of this, it is now considered, is done for. Mr. Sherman's disclosures in the way of documents and op‘nions operate to close his career as a presidential possibility even against chance. He. has offended against so many tenets of diplomacy, and brought such serious charges against convention practices, that no movement in his be- half in any cireumstances would be possible now. What Garfield's Friends Say. The possibility of his own selection as standard-bearer next year, which Mr. Sher- man has just put an end to, is used by the friends of Gen. Garfield in support of their Gefense of his action at Chicago in 1880. They deny that there was any ‘nsincerity on his part in support of Mr. Sherman, and assert that kis nomination grew out of the fact, universally conceded in the conven- tion, that, despite all that Gen. Garfield and other Ohioans had done for him, Mr. Sherman's nomination was impossible. The question then was, should Gen. Garfield, for fear of being charged with insincerity, refuse the nomination for himself, or by taking it complete the anti-third term pro- -gram, to which Mr. Sherman was as much committed as anybody else? What Might Happen Next Year. Now, say the friends of Gen. Garfield, suppose that Mr. Sherman had not put out his book at this time. Then consider him a delegate to the next republican national convention, heading the Ohio delegation in- structed for McKinley: The convention is in session, the battle is on. Mr. Sherman has put his favorite in nomination in a speech of extraordinary effectiveness, and, moreover, is openly and earnestly working for success. But the way is blocked for McKinley. Mr. Sherman is told this right and left. The sum is worked out in his presence, and the answer shows that no combination is possible guaranteeing votes enough to capture the prize for McKinley. The question then comes up: Ohio wants McKinley. She has so stated in conven- tion. But it is plain that she cannot get McKinley. Does this bar all of her other sons? The convention will accept Sherman, Shall it be Sherman? Or shall the nomina- tion, tor the simpie reason that McKinley cannot get it, be allowed to go to a candi- date from some other state? Mr. Sher- man’s friends urge him to take it. They assure him that his record is clear so far as McKinley is concerned, and that he owes much to them, who cannot hope for the recognition from a man from a dis- tance in the White House that they can from him. Mr. Sherman yields and ac- cepts. Shall he be charged with lukewarm- ness or lack of faith? A Political Blunder. It is generally agreed that Mr. Sherman has had some hard and trying knocks from fate, and a few from the politicians, and that it is only human to state one’s own side of a bitter controversy. But, all the same, active republicans regret the appearance of this book at this time, and regard it as a political blunder. ——_-_—_____. PUBLIC PARK FLOWERS, Chicago School Children Enjoy the Fall Clearing Out. From the Chicago Tribune, The annual uprooting of the flowers in Drexel boulevard tcok place yesterday. As has been the custom for a good many years, after the park authorities “had taken all they wished, the public were allowed to come in and help themselves. The public in this instance consisted larg=ly of school children. A considerable number of wo- men and elderly men came with baskets cn their arms, but of school children there was a perfect swarm. Workmen were busy all the forenoon digging up and -art- ing away roots and bulbs of precious plants which they desired to preserve. Finally the desired signal came. In a moment pandemonium, a good-natured one, reigned. A thousand knees dropped into the sof: earth and one thousand pairs of hands tugged at resisting roots. Great branching geraniums were raised aloft, long canna stalks were piled like corn, and boys ran hither and thither with big red coxcombs in their arms. Soon the children had more plants than they could . There was a great demand for the sweet- scented geraniums. There was a iimited supply of these; but those who got a sup- ply were liberal; and after all the flowers had been gathered there was a general di- viding up of spoils. The public schools, and not the public, will get the Lincoln Park flowers this year. “My gardeners have already begun,” said Superintendent Alexander of Lincoln Park yesterday, “to take up their plants, and there are several hundred of them, moatly geraniums and verbenas. Our plan is to cut slips froma them for cultivation in the greenhouse, end to give away the parent stalk and root. We concluded this year to offer them to the public schools, in the hope they would put them in pots and use them for decorating the school rooms. We will have them ready for distribution in ten days. +00. He Caught a Grouse. From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. Judge Frank Henry of Livingston, Mont., while out hunting on the Boulder the other day, performed the novel feat of captur- irg a grouse with a hook and line. Having tired of hunting, he returned to camp and exchanged his gun for fishing tackle ond sallied forth to catch a mess of trout. While thus engaged he discovered a grouse in the grass ou the bark of the stream. The judge stopped, and, baiting his hook with a fresh grasshopper, made a cast to the unsuspecting bird. Like a fish, the grouse mace a lunge for thé grasshopper, swallowed the bait, hook and ail, and started to fly off. Its flight was suddenly checked, however, as the line reeled out its full length. grouse fluttered wildly in the air, but it was firmly hooked couldn't get away. 3 se - A Sea Engle. From the Phitadelphia Press. ‘The Danish mship Horsa, Capt. We- borg, which arrived here yesterday from Port Antonio, Jamaica, with a cargo of bananas, has on board a most curious sea bird, which was captured at sea several days ago while the ship was weathering a severe gale, midway between the east end of Cuba and Fortune Island. The bird, which is called by the sailors a sea eagle, lit on the foremast head early in the morning exhausted, and was cap- tured with little difficulty and penned up in a chicken coop. Since it has been in cap- tivity it has refused to eat, and the officers mean to have it stuffed. The bird rgeasures from tip to tip of its wings twenty feet, and is covered with rare plumage. It Is very fierce, and seems to be unable to stand the cool weather,
