OF INTEREST NOTES There is every indication that an athletic association will be added to the features of the District of Columbia National Guard in the very near future, for, it is said, Gen. Ordway has authorized the furnishing of a gymnasium, and means to call a meeting for the purpose of organization before the lapse of many days. There is not the slightest doubt that the association will meet with unqualified suc- cess from the start. Perhaps company A, second battalion, through Capt. E. C. Ed- wards, is deserving of the greater share of credit for securing the establishment of the desirable innovation. Capt. Edwards talked the matter over with Gen. Ordway a few days ago, and secured the necessary permission to take possession of the large loft at the new armory building immediate- ly, and fit up the same with gymnasium apparatus. It will be necessary at the start to remove the hundred or more lockers be- longing to the National Fencibles, as much additional room can thereby be secured. Company A, second battalion, intends to introduce into the loft a special system of electric lights and such apparatus as it may secure. The company will also organ- ize a basket ball team, and probably apply for membership in the local Basket Ball League. Athletic Fever Contagious. The athletic fever seems to be contagious in military circles, for, among other com- panies, A of the third battalion last week practically decided to start a gymnasium on a small scale in the locker room of the battalion staff, if other quarters could not be secured. Members of the company have of late taken an interest in boxing, and, as Capt. Shilling gave hearty approval, steps were taken to add to the pleasure and means of physical development of the cadets. But, or learning of the proposed athletic asso- ciation, it is probable that Capt. Shilling and his men will abandon their project and give all the aid possible to build up the larger organization. The chief argument used by Capt. Ed- wards in urging the establishment of a gymnasium was that it is difficult to retain or to secure the enlistment of men in the companies of the National Guard when there are in existence many civil organi- zations with gymnasium facilities, and such attractions are not. offered in the brigade, except by the first battalion. The Brigade Rifle Matches Owing to the continued illness of the In- specter general of rifle practice and the fact that it will be impossible for him to resume his duties for several weeks to come, it has been decided to go ahead with the arrange- ments for the annual rifle competitions of the brigade without further delay. Capt. James E. Bell discussed the matter yester- @ay afternoon with Gen. Ordway, and as a result it can be announced that the matches will be shot either Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 14, 15 ard 16, or Mon- day, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 18, 19 and 20, The department of rifle practice desires it announced that an opportunity is given those guardsmen who have not completed their scores to do so Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The range at Ordway is also open for voluntary practice on the days mentioned. Markers will be provided if proper notice js given Lieut. T. S. King. Election of Lieutenants. Maj. Wilson presided at a recent meeting of the members of company D, third battalion, when Thomas €. Means was elected first lieutenant and Fred. Stutz sec- ond lieutenant of that organization. Mr. Means was a captain In the regiment of High School Cadets a year or so ago, and Mr. Stutz has held office as sergeant major of the first battalion of the cadets. A Resignation and an Appoinment. Not only the command which is the direct loser, but the entire brigade as well, will learn with regret that First Lieut. Richard J. Donnelly, adjutant of the third battalion, has tendered his resignation, to take effect November 1. Lieut. Donnelly first became connected with the guard in 1889, serving as private, corporal, sergeant, quartermas- ter sergeant, quartermaster and adjutant, and he participated in the three encamp- ments of the brigade at Fort Washington and also was a hard worker for the success of other camps and trips. The expectation of leaving the city In the near future was the reason for resigning. It has long been the boast of the third that it enjoyed the services of the best adjutant in this vici ity and his books and papers are marvels of neatness. Lieut. Donnelly has earned a regiment of friends, who wish him unquali- fied success in the future. The battalion will, however, be consoled for the loss of Lieut. Donnelly by the ap- pointment of Mr. Luther H. Reichelderfer to fill the vacancy. Mr. Reichelderfer is well known in local military circles. He commanded the regiment of High School Cadets in 1891-92 as lieutenant colonel, and in 1892-03 as colonel. Later he held a com- mission as captain of company B, second battalion, now company A, third battalion, but resigned a year or more ago. He is at present assistant military instruciu: cf the High School Cadets and is also instructor of English at the Central school. The third is to be congratulated on securing such a worthy successor to Lieut. Donnelly. A Rifle Team Announced. Capt. Shilling of company A, third bat- talion, has selected the following as a team to represent his command in the com- ing rifle competition of the brigade: Corp. S. A. Wimsatt, Corporal G. J. Harris, Can- didate Second Lieut. L! C. Steward and Corp. F. E. Lacy. The company has de- cided to present a handsome gold medal to the menber making the best score at rifle practice each season. An Election of Officers. First Lieut. Otto G. Simonson and Mr. D. B. McLeod were eiected captain and first Heutenant respectively of company D, sixth battalion, at an enthusiastic meeting of the command held Tuesday evening. It was decided to hold drills each Tuesday even- ing hereafter. A meeting of the new second regiment band was also held Tuesday evening and the organization perfected. Capt. Simonson de- sires that due credit be given Lieut. Mc- Leod, who has been, and is yet, a prime and untiring mover for the success of the band. Lieut. McLeod has also aided Capt. Simonson in reorganizing company D. Appointments in the Troop. Capt. H. S. Bartour of troop A has ap- pointed J. W. Conard first sergeant, Howell Ste t fourth sergeant, J. F. Fitzgerald fifth sergeant and Frank Swart and J. Van Dauchhavsen corporals in that organization. In spite of the loss of a dozen or more men by reason of discharge and enlistment in e regular army, the troop has at present a membership of seven hree. Active preparations are row being made to prop- erly celebrate the seventh anniversary of the organization of the command, which occurs December 20. An inspection of the troop and its quarters is to be made Monday evening next by the cemmissioned officers. FLAVOR RICHNESS AND DIGESTIBILITY: ! The latter will then entertain the command at supper. Names of the Judges. The program for the competitive squad drill at the Corcoran Cadets’ fete is now in process of preparation, and will be submit- ted to the judges by Capt. Edwards early next week. The judges are Capt. W. E. Horton of the general staff; Capt. Chas. Ourand, company C, first battalion; Capt. Harry Walsh, company A, fourth battalion, and Lieut. A. P. Robbins, light battery A.

Summers, com- pany C, third battalion. Notes. The new company fatigue uniforms of company A, third battalion, will be deliver- ed next week. Mr. Allen D. Albert, jr., formerly of the High School Cadets, has been appointed sergeant major of the third battalion. At a recent meeting of company B, third battalion, Sergeant Albert Marks was elect- ed financial secretary, and Corporal James A. Norris treasurer. An order has been issued honorably dis- charging Charles S. Domer, captain of com- pany C, second battalion, by reason of the disbandment of the organization in which he was commissioned. Because of the occupancy of Coavention Hall by an amusement organization, the third and fifth battalions were unable to hold ordered battalion drills during the past week. First Lieut. G. E. Tralles, Candidate Sec- ond Lieutenant L. C. Steward, Corporal Fred. Lacy and Corporal S. A. Wimsatt of company A, third battalion, have qualified as sharpshooters. Second Lieutenant C. M. Robinson, jr., First Sergeant Arthur B, Claxton and Cor- poral H. R. Sisson, all of company A, third battalion, who have been seriously il, are on the road to recovery. The appearance of the first battation in the parade Friday afternoon as escort to the Second Company, Governor’s Foot Guard, of Connecticut, was not other than creditable. Each of the four companies turned out with full ranks. First Lieut. C. F. Cook, quartermaster, has been temporarily assigned to the com- mand of company C, third battalion, re- Neving First Lieut. Richard J. Donnelly, adjutant. Capt. C. V. Sayre is absent from the city on sick leave and the company is without other commissioned officers. First Lieut. James A. Watson, ambulance® corps, tendered his resignation’ during the week and it has been accepted. Major Ross has requested the discharge of Color Sergeant Edward P.

The corps has decided to erect a wind gauge at the rifle range in the near futur A meeting of the Non-Commissioned OM- cers’ Association of the First Battalion will be held at the armory tomorrow afternoon. It is rumored that the old Light Guard, formerly company C, fourth battalion, is to be reorganized and again occupy a place in the brigade. For some time past company B, fourth battalion, has been divided into two factions, one supporting the captain and the other headed by the two lieutenants. It is said that one of the officers will tender his res- ignation in a few days, and then, it is ex- pected, peace will again reign. IN THE CHURCHES Monday, the 11th instant, the eastern con- ference of the Maryland synod, Lutheran, will meet in this city in annual session in the Church of the Reformatien, on Capitol Hill. The conference usually meets earlier in the season, but the illness of the pastor of the church, Rev. W. E. Parson, made a change advisable. The conference includes all the Lutheran churches in Washington and Bal- timore, to the number of thirty, and each of these churches Is entitled to two representa- tives—one clergyman and one lay delegate. The officers are: Rev. Dr. Dunbar of Balti- more, president; Rev. A. Homrighaus of Washington, secretary, and Mr. Stockert, a layman of the former city, treasurer.

At half-past 11 “Our Church Music” will be the topic under consideration, divided as follows: “Some Defects in Our Present Sys- tem’’ and “How to Secure the Best Re- ult: Rev. A. H. Studebaker of Baltimore and Rev. W. H. Gotwald, Ph.D., D.D., of Washington are to handle the former topic and Revs. Samuel Domer and Charles Trow- bridge the latter. At noon the ladies of the Church of the Reformation are to serve a lunch to those in attendance.

Frantz are to give their views upon the subject. At 3 o'clock there will be a free conference. In each number of the program assigned speak- ers are limited to ten-minute addresses and those participating in the general discussion five minutes each, ‘The new stations of the cross for use in St. Paul's Catholic Church arrived from Munich last week and were placed in posi- tion this week. The stations are made of “carton-pierre,” a new material, very much resembling stone, and the figures are in relief against a background of gold. They are the gift of a lady of the parish, who dces not wish to be known in this connec- tien. Another member of the congregation has decided to donate a handsome pulpit, the plans for which have already been de- cided upon. Rev. E. Olin Eldridge, pastor of Waugh M. E, Church, began a series of revivals last Sunday, and expects to continue them nightly for some time. The congregation of Waugh is showing a decided increase in membership, and there is some talk of do- ing something in the building line, both the present church and parsonage being con- sidered inadequate. A new heating apparatus has been placed in the parsonage of Trinity M. E. Church and Brussels carpet laid down on all the floors and the sleeping apartments refur- nished. The Ladies’ Aid Society undertook the work of furnishing. Rev. Martin F. B. Rice, D. D., the pastor, expects to begin scme protracted meetings shortly and con- tinue them up to the holidays, if possible. Grace Baptist Church has organized a Women’s Missionary Society. The first meeting was held recently at the house of one of the members, at which tea was served and a talk given on missionary work in general. Monday evening a party of seventeen workers of the Central Union Mission went out to the Takoma Presbyterian Church, where addresses were given on the methods of work of the mission. They were led by Messrs. E. D. Bailey and George W. Havell, and a Jags congregation was present. The Sodality of Mary of St. Aloysius Church i:as been reorganized, and is now in charge of a sister of Notre Dame school. Officers have been elected as follows: Pre- fect, Miss Katharine Raedy; first assistant, Miss Bessie Shafer; second assistant, Miss Delia O'Neill, and organist and musical di- | cHurch, the local union mis ss rector, Miss Hannah Wade. The congrega- tion of St. Aloysius recthtly celebrated the tkirty-sixth anniversary of the dedication of the church by a solewin high mass and a sermon by Rev. Father O'Connell, S. J. ‘As a result of the effdtts of the band of workers from the Central Union Mission who held a series cf revivals in Warrenton, Va., some few weeks 4go, the citizens of that place have established what they call the “Fauquier Union Mission.” It is run on practically the same plan as the mission in this city, but, in addition, conductg weekly meetings at different py{nts in the county of Fauquier. It has joified the Gospel Mis- sion Alliance, and is undér the superintend- ence of Mr. Brooke of this city. The new St. Margaret's P. E. Church is] scon to have what will probably be one of the finest vested choirs {w this city. Prof.Jno. Porter Lawrence, the well-known musician, has been engaged as organist, and will have full charge of the cholf, and in a short time it is expected that a boy chorister will be secured from a distance whose voice is highly commended. By the first of next month it is expected that the hand- scme pipe organ ordered will be ready for use, and in the meantime a large reed or- gan is being used. President William B. Mathews of the District Epworth League has concluded his visits to the various chapters of the league, with the exeception of two or three, ‘The exterior of Mt. Vernon Church has been finished, with the exception of paint- ing. Yesterday evening the Christian En- deavor Society of the church gave its first sceial of the year, under the direction of its new social committee, of which Miss Jessie Davis is chairman. A new chapter of the Epworth League, ard affiliating with this district, was or- garized Monday evening at Oak View, St. Mary’s county. The pastor of the church is Rev. A. E, Spielman, and the chapter numbers about twenty-five members, in- cluding both active and associate. In all the league now numbers twenty-nine chap- tefs, and with the one at St. Paul's, which is to be established soon, Washington Dis- trict Epworth League will be composed of an even thirty chapters. z In response to an invitation from thé Men's Club of Gurley Memorial Church, the pastor of the church, Rev. J. Russell Ver- brycke, will preach a special sermon before that organization tomorrow evening. At the Ninth Street Christian Chureh to- morrow Evangelist W. H. Book of Clifton Forge will assist Pastor Bagby in con- ducting the services. A large chorus choir has been organized from among the young people of the church. Thursday evening the congregation of the First Baptist Church held a reunion in the parlors of the church on the corner of 16th and O streets northwest. Invi- tations were sent to Baptists all over the city and there was a representative atten- dance. The program was interesting, in- cluding a calling of the roll, a reading of the covenant, and the announcement of a new scheme of organization. This latter is to facilitate the workings of the church and provides for an organization based a good deal on the committee idea. The Central Union Mission will begin in a short time the work of extending the heating facilities of the institution to the sixth floor, which contains the men’s dor- mitories. It is the policy of the board of directors to extend the heating piant each year one floor, and this year will wit- ness the completion of the entire system. There is already a considerable demand for help from the poor of the city and provis- ions and clothing will be thankfully re- ceived at the mission building, on Louisi- ana avenue. The relief committee will for- mally organize in a few days and then a systematic canvass will be started.

Howell, for furnishings for the the parishioners: have generously responded, and on the) dey mentioned the building will be entirely complete, both in- side and out. One lady has agreed to dec- orate the walls of the,chancel in appropri- ate tints and another has ordered a carved oak credence table. Donations have also been received of a beautiful silk veil and burs, and also of a brass cross for the alter, while the carpeting of the floor has practically been provided. for. Contribu- tions are coming in for the altar, for which a complete set of linen is;already on hand. What is probably the most important gift is a communion service of solid. silver, which is now being made in New York, aad which is the gift of a.parishioner. The brass altar rail was ordered some time azo and will no doubt be, in. place before the rest of the furnishi A Sabbath sehool Was organized last Sunday, but will be un- der the superintendence of the rector for the present. On Friday of last week Rev. E. D. Bailey of this city went over to Baltimore and set an important movement on foot in that city. He explained the methods of sion to an audience of about sixty men.
