WALKING OUT OF TOWN Last night the weather, was too chilly for the poorly-clad men and women to be on the streets, ard the result was that thos who usually fall into the hands of the p lice remained about the fireside, and the police who make daily records of arres were not all able to keep up their daily record, These conditions accounted for the small rainy-day pfocession in Judge Kim- ball's court this morning.

Further Discussed by Ministers of the Colored Churches. The Relations of the Pastors to the Secret Sociecties—Views of Well- Known Clergymen. The proposition of colored Baptist imin- isters to make a reform in the mode of con- ducting church funerals seeérms to have met general approval among colored clergymen of all denominations. The subject was again discussed by the Baptist Min'‘sters’ Union yesterday. Rev. Wm. A. Creditt, the pas- tor of the Berean Baptist Church, spoke in commendation of the movement, and said that as a member of the union he aad been atulated on every hand over the an- qgungement in The Star of Saturday that the pastors had determined to create senti- ment against the present manner of con- ducting funeral services and making a dis- play of the dead. From opinions obtained clergymen presgpt it was evident that they believed that if the opening of coffins in church is not stopped the health authorities would take some action in the matter. The custom of open'ng coffi ii havi secret society s prac! of the chur more y the custom in what might be called “poor church, and the ehurenes attended by the masses of the people.

The Rev. Robert Johnson, pasior of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, said to a Star reporter today that he had for a long while advocated this reform, but that until now he could not get the other pastors around to s way of thinking. He further safd that was opposed to such elaborate secret so- “ety services in he church, and that the oflicials of the soc‘eties had become so Dold preparations and de 2ce of hoiding the consulting the pa which the funeral is to be het 1. at if the brethren would stick by their etermination to reform the services that will du thems: ommunity a great service. Not Opposed to Secret Societie The members-of the union did not wa: go on record as opposed to secret socie and thought that the elaborate services and display which are now carried out might be modified and add some respectability to the funerals of the'r members, ~ One of the clergymen said to a Star report- er: “The brethrens’ determinations on th’ question are very good, but the question is will they carry them out?

RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS git Manv Improveménts Asked for the Washington, Plant. ee ESTIMATES HEAVILY CUT The annual report of Commodore Mat- thews, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, has been made public. The estimates received from the commandants of the va- rious yards and stations for the next fiscal year aggregate $2,206,801. Commodore Mat- thews says that after a careful examina- tion these estimates have been reduced to a total of $2,124,150, madé up as follows: Improvements, #1 190; general mainte- $262,000; repairs and preservation, contingent, $15,000; naval home, civil establishment, $61,486; support of bureau, $10,580. A detailed statement, is made of the prin-+ cipal items of improvements needed at the various yards and stations. A workshop for the repair of ships in dock is needed at the New York yard, for which an estimate of $85,240 is made. Owing te the “quick” nature of the ground around ‘the entrance to dry jock No. 3, an additional aliotment of $50,000 is recommended. The principal improvement desired at the Norfolk yard is a new sh'p- fitters’ shop, for construction and repa: the estimated cost of which fs $215,200. The Port Royal Dry Dock. Commodore Matthews reports the comple- tion of the dry dock at Port Royal, S. Its greatest length is 486 feet 6 inches; its greatest width, 126 feet, and its depth over ‘lat mean high water is feet. To en- able the navy to use this docke for ba:tfe hips, he s: it is very important to have an ample anchorage off the entrance, and to do this, he says, will require dredging about 1,500,000 cubic yards, a large’ portion of which should be put on shore to raise the level of the station, An estimate of $300,000 is submitted for purchase of a dredger and dredging. The dock was tested in August last by hav- ing the Amphitrite docked twice, on each er The body was found to be right, but with the caisson in the oui groove and a spring tide some weakness of the design was developed in that part of the abutment between the inner and outer grooves. Steps were taken to correct th Repairs to the wharf Have been contracted for. The dredging around entrance of ‘he dock has progressed very slowly. * One is Needed at Mare Island. Commodore Matthews says that as the Mare Island, Cal., yard is 865 miles from the Port Orchard dock, and as all the ves- sels of th Pacific ard Asiatic stations are repaired on the Pacifig ccast the necessity of a large dry dock at Mare Island equal to receiving the largést ef them for repairs apparent. ng the year, Commodore Matthews an effort has keewimade to keep the y docks} wharves, etc., at the rds favo fons in repair ent decay; Yut/owing to the con- rranging apd, new tools abd ghanging nec: he demands of t yard tated by construction departments at the is onl by the closest and in most economy that te appropr ade to hold out. ‘The Washington Navy Yara.

A Theory Advanced by the Classical Scholars of the Senate and Its Limited Application. If Senator Peffer should cut off his whis- kers this winter, and it is intimated that he may, some strange things might happen. Peffer is a much misunderstood man. The public have a wrong idea of him. His col- leagues in the Senate know him better. There is a theory that all his populism is in his whiskers. When this idea was first suggested it was not thought much of, but the thing has been discussed up one side and down tne other. Some ingenious scien- lific theories have been advanced, and, the characteristics of bearded men in history have been called forward to prove that the growth of hair upon the chin influences the mind. It has been pointed cut that all the great and legical thinkers of the worid have had smooth faces. Theory of the Classical Scholars. ‘The classical scholars of the Senate have pointed that the reason the term barbarian has come to mean uncivilized was that the Greeks and Romans of fine discrimination iscovered a subtile association between beards and lack of reasoning powers. It was shrewdly observed, too, that when smooth-faced men think deeply they b their hands backward through their hair or across their foreheads, thus giving a sort of massage, which develops those parts of the cranium, so as to give rcom for the expansion of reasoning qualities of the brain. On the other hand, men with beards. jong, soft and flowing, invariab! stroke their beards while thinking, thus developing only the muscles of the jaw and thickening the skin upon the cheek, and elongating and narrowing the face and head, and presumably contracting the mind and focusing it on one object, so as to dis- qualify it from grasping more than one idea at u time. A Limited Application. This new theory, which it is believed may prove of great value to the human race if followed up scientifically, is confined by its discoverers inits applicaticn to men who enter the field of statecraft. They believe that it may not apply at all, or at least only to a limited extent, to men in ordinary walks of life. It is held>that a merchant, a doctor or even a minister may wear a long beard without injury, but among law makers it should pe discouraged. The three conspicuous examples in the Senate last year—Peffer, Stewart and Dolph—gave force to the theory. It was still further strengthened by a careful observation of the Kansas Senator under various condi- tions. It was observed that when he wore his beard buttoned under his vest he was more conservative in Lis utterances; thai when it was allowed to flow freely, as was ‘sual, he was more radical and disposed to dvance strange propositions, and that when the wind blew violently he was more agitated and disposed to feel that the coun- try was going wrong and that there should be a complete political overthrow. Adwirable Traits of Character. Intimate association with him showed, too, that he was a man of some capacity, and that there were traits of character which indicated possibility of development. They found in him a man who always keeps his word; one who will not make a questionable barggin, and one who is al- w miable and irank and well inten- tioned. They also found him a great stu- dent, but with e one defect that he strokes his beard while he studies, thereby develcping his chin and cheek instead of his forehes The result of all these ob- ervations was a conclusicn that if his beard were shaved off he would develop into some such a man as John Sherman and be a great credit to the Senate. No one has dared to make the suggestion but the report that he may shave ived with great interest. It is re- celved, too, with anxiety, lest it be not true. There is much interest in discovering what his course in the Senate will be this A great deal depends on it, and adds importance to the question whether he will continue to wear a beard. If the abov ubtilé theory is correct, two good re ns might be made of Peffer and Stewart iy a handy barber.
