It Will Be Practically a New Building When They Are Completed—Other Interesting Items, The official board of the Dumbarton Avenue Church are considering the rebuild- ing of their structure. Plans have almost matured. Nearly the whole of the old church will disappear in the improvement. Only the side walls will be left standing. While the plans for the proposed improve- ment have not been formally adopted as yet, it is most probable that those which will meet with favor will provide for a red Gothic structure, with an imposing tower. The main room has a depth of 77 feet and a width of 52 feet, with a seating capacity of 675. In addition to this, there will be a gallery, facing the pulpit and over the front entrance. The church will be cx- tended in the front to the building line. The present house is ten feet back from it. On the same floor with the main hall the plans call for a parlor. Beneath the great room will be the Sunday school. The cost of the improvement, while yet undeter- mined, will mount way up in the thou- sands. Church friends, though, stdmd ready to contribute the necessary funds. Things will have assumed definite shape In a week or two, it is thought. One Hundred Years Old. This month the Methodist Church in Georgetown will be one hundred years old. Old records show that Bishop Asbury, who was sent to America by John Wesley, preached here in November, 1795. The Methodist Church had just been estab- lished, and he reported to Wesley that he preached in the new chapel. This was the beginning of the Methodist Church in what is now the District. A little later the Washington territory followed George- town in a church established at the pres- ent Greenleaf’s Point. The one hundredth anniversary will be observed informally at Dumbarton Church. Sent to Gov. 0’Ferrall. From the spoils collected by Detective Baldwin during the onslaught last week at Jack iIeath's headquarters, near the Aque- duct bridge, Governor O’Ferrall has re- ceived a share, not to sell and profit by, but to keep as a memento of the time he led a big “strike” against one of the worst dens of iniquity that ever infested the city’s borders. The governor’s share, mail- ed to him in a cigar box, labeled as his favorite brand, consisted of a quantity of faro chips of all colors, sizes and designs. In the midst of these was ensconsed an ivory ball with one flat side, upon which were the figures “29,” so familiar to the devotees of the game of keno. This par- ticular ball was the one so hard at work making revolutions when the officer ealled a hajt of the whole by jumping upon the ta- ble and calling “Keno!” his men at the same time rising in every quarter cf the reom with gleaming revolvers. All the other stuff taken in the raid was destroyed. Notes. At the Georgetown College an annex to the domestic chapel has just been com- pleted. It is In the old south building, sec- ond floor. This gives the college five chap- els, in addition to the Dahlgren memorial, with its three altars. Mr. and Mrs. H. Copperthite, Master “Captain” Copperthite and Mra. James A. Archer are’ back from a trip to New Ha- ven, Conn. ————— Among the Workingmen. The members of the Cigar Makers’ Union held their regular weekly mecting Saturday night, with a good attendance. A report was submitted that two of the members of Musical Assembly are engaged as com- mercial travelers seliing non-union made cigars. A committee was appointed to in- vestigate the subject, and to make a re- port at an early day. The union voted to place the Anacostia Raflway Company on the unfair list and to fine any member who shall ride on the cars of that Ene. vitation from Local Union No. 2¢ trical Workers, to join in the parade of the latter, Thursday night next, in honor of the delegates to the national convention of electrical workers, was accepicd. The Knights of Crispin, an association of master shoemakers, who have held two meetings for the purpose of completing an effective organization, will, it is expected, adopt a constitution and by-liws at their meeting tonight, and also take steps look- ing to admission to the Federation of Labor. The Bottlers’ Association met as usual yesterday and received several apptications for membership. They also voted te place the Anacostia railway under the ban, as recommended by Railway Assembly. The Butchers’ Assembly, at its mecting yesterday, also placed the Anacostia Rail- way Company on the unfair list, and fixed a fine of $5 to be imposed on any member who shall patronize its cars. —— The Woman's Clinie. At the annual meeting of the contribu- tors to the Woman's Clinic, held recently, the secretary reported that 3,165 patients had visited the clinic for treatment during the year. The following board of directors was elected for the ensuing year: Dr. D. S. Lamb, Dr. Ida J. Heiberger, Mrs. Mary F. Case, Miss Minnie E. Heiberger, Dr. J. H. Bryan, Dr. S. M. Burnett, Dr. H. L. E. Johnson, Dr. Mary Parsons, Dr. D. W. Prentiss, Dr. Julia E, Smith, Dr. Abbe C. ‘Tyler, Mrs. Cora Dufour, Mre. Marian H. Anderson, Mrs. Emily L. Sherwood, Dr. H. G. Yarrow, Dr. Robert Reyburn, Dr. Mabel Cornish, Miss Satie Hyde, Mrs. Wal- ter E. Burleigh, Dr. Sofie A. Nordhoff, Dr. Jessie Kappelar, Dr. Phebe R. Norris, Dr. ‘Ada R. Thomas, Dr. Susan J. Squires and Dr. Adeline EB. Portman. Mrs. Anderson was elected first vice president; Dr. Lamb, second vice president; Mary F. Case, secre- tary; Miss Heiberger, treasurer. The clinical staff is as follows: Drs, Hei- berger, Smith, Kappelar, Cornish, Nord- hoff, Dufour, Norris, Thomas, Portman and Squires. —— In Honor of Elizabeth €ady Stanton. A public reception has been arranged by the Wimodaughsis and District Woman's Suffrage Association in celebration of the eightieth birthday of the natjonal ex-presi- dent, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The evening chosen is Tuesday, November 12, from 8 to 10 o'clock, at the Wimodaughsis’ parlors. Among the attractions will be brief speeches and music. The special fea- ture of the evening, however, will be ballot- ing, conducted on the Australian systcm. The subjects to be voted ov are: Is woman entitled to full franchise? Is an educational qualification desirable? Is a property quall- fication desirable? Is it desirable for woman to remain disfranchised? A cordial invitation is extended to the general public, and all can cast their ballots upon a remittance of 10 cents as registra- tion fee. The total proceeds thus secured will be turned over to the Anthony-Stanton- Mott bust fund. The District Suffrage As- sociation is devoting its energies to raising means to enable it to give its share to the fund. —sas—_ Had a Gun. William Jones, a colored man, employed in a 32d street drug store, got drunk Sat- urday night when his work was finished, and then he was so tired that he could not get home. He stopped in a doorway to spend the night, and he was found there at 4 o'clock yesterday morning by Officer Conlon. The officer took him to the police station on a charge of intoxication, and he would have been released in the morning had not a revolver been found in his pocket. For this he was taken to the Police Court this morning and was fined $00 or sixty days !n jail. —— Has the Hydrophobia. Miss Rose Hedges called at the Police Court this morning in answer to a sum- mons to appear and prosecute David Saunders, colored, for the alleged theft of a basket, but Mr. Mullowny announced that the case could not be tried, as a phy- cisian’s certificate handed him by the police showed that Saunders had the hydrophobia.

Various Details of the Money Order Business and Dé&ad! Letter Office— Numerous Récommendations. The annual mopol? if First Assistant Postmaster Gereral Flank H. Jones shows that the divisions ndér his supervision have saved during fhe Year $1,305,577, the principal items being in the saving in the carrier service by stopping overtime and reduction of the force, amounting to $1,- 300,000. The salaries to all presidential restmasters amounted -to $5,507,200, and the gross receipts of post offices $80,538,097. The number of presidential postmasters is 3,491, of which 159 are first class, 700 sec- ond class and 2,632 third class. An csti- mate of $17,000,000 for all postmasters is made for 1897, an increase of $1,000,000. The number of positions brought within the classified service last year was 2,395. Mr. Jones recommends the abolition of ex- perimental free delivery unless $10,000,000 is appropriated for the. purpose; also free rural delivery unless $20,000,000 is appro- rriated. Carriers Removed. Of the investigation and discharge of carriers for cause, Mr. Jones says that 385 carriers have been removed. The chief trouble was overtime claims. Eight months have been given to the in- spection, and carriers at 151 offices have been investigated. At these offices there were 4,055 carriers, of whom 208 were rep- rimanded for various irregularities, 57 sus- pended for falsifying trip reports, 4 sus- pended for failure to collect from street letter boxes, 392 suspended for drinking while on duty and loitering and 55 dis- missed for drinking while on duty and loi- tering. Mr. Jones recommends the employment of inspectors In the larger offices to in- spect the work of the carriers, make sug- gestions as to extensions and changes of routes, and to have a general supervision of their work. Character of Inspectors. The persons to whom this work ts intrust- ed are men of intelligence and integrity, many of them having had experience in the postal service. They are not permitted to make themselves known to postmasters, are espécially warned against interfering with or attempting to entrap letter carriers, and are required to report only the acts and doings of the letter carrier in his delivery of mail, giving the record. of the faithful and efficient carrier as well as that of the negll- gent and slothful. In all cases reflecting upon the conduct of the letter-carrier force each carrier is furnished with a verbatim copy of the charges and given ample oppor- tunity to submit such explanation as he may have before final action is taken by the de- partment. ‘A letter carrier's efficiency record is now being prepared from the data supplied by agents as well as postmasters. When com- pleted it will contain the individual record. of each letter carrier in the service. ‘An estimate of $12,960,300 1s made for the free delivery service nexy year. The money order report shows ‘domestic money order offices and $f53,700,08) of orders Is- Sted, and $156,159,689 paid! Mr. Jones recom- mends legislation requiring clerks who han- dle money orders te give bonds. Revival of Business. The total amount df fees received from the public for the issue of domestic money or- ders was $1,201,212.51, being $5,630.35 more than the amount réeived in the preceding year. The average fee was 5.86 cents, being 2.6 cents less than the average fee received in the previous year. The average amount of the orders issued was about $7.11, or $ less than the average of the year enced June 30, 1894. A comparison of the above figures with those’ of the previous year shows an increase in the! number of orders issued of 7,727,079, or 54.02 per cent; an in- crease in the number of orders paid and re- paid of 7,589,456, or 53.29 per cent; an in- crease in the amount of orders issued of $17,- 915,510.28, or 12.91 per cent; an increase in the amount of orders paid and repaid of $17,434,459.97, or 12.57 per cent. The number of pieces of original dead mail matter received was 6,319,873, a de- crease of 781,171 from last year. Given to Hospitals. During the year 16,734 magazines, ilus- trated papers, picture cards, etc., which could not be restored to owners, were dis- tributed among the inmates of the various hospitals, asylums and other charitable institutions in the District of Columbia by order of the Postmaster General. The fol- lowing shows the number and character of the matter distributed: Magazines, 5, pamphlets, 3,335; illustrated papers, picture cards, etc., 3,523. Mr. Jones renews several recommenda- tions made in his last report, such as a pen- alty for using postmarks for unlawful pur- poses; to prevent boycotting post offices; to amend the franking law; more stringent legislation against obscene mail matter; the power to suspend employes; the empioyment of temporary and substitute clerks; care for disabled employes; the better classification of salaries of clerks in larger offices, and the employment of substitute carriers. Dr. Pitzer's Statement. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The city press, with the exception of The Star, has called special attention to the fact that certain persons, parties in a trial before the Police Court last week, were members of the Central Presbyterian Church, of which I am pastor. It 1s, therefore, proper that I should make this statement of facts. Dr. Margaret Hislop came to this city more than ten years ago, from Chicago, with letters of commendation and a certificate of good and regular standing from one of the Presbyterian churches of that city. In all these years she has done nothing incon- sistent with Christian profession or her church membership, and has won her way to an honorable place in her profession. Mr. J. K. White was received on a regular certificate from one of the Presbyterian churches of Pittsburg, and has been an active and useful member of the church, faithful in the discharge of all Christian duty. Miss Gertrude Hislop confessed Christ as ] her personal Savior several years ago, und has been a member of the Sabbath school, the Missionary Circle, Society of Christian Endeavor and has endeared herself to a large circle of friends. These persons are entitled to the cordial goodwill, sympathy and support of all their friends and the public. Dr. Wm. Hislop, the dentist, is not a mem- ber of the church, and not even identified with the congregation. He has been an oc- casional attendant on worahi iD. . W. PITZER. a — His Remains Sent! to Michigan. Masonic services ‘were ‘held over the re- mains of the late William H. Dunn, super- intendent of the Municipal Lodging House, Saturday afternoon by Célumbia Command- ery, Knights Templar. The remains were sent to Shelby, Mich., the former home of the deceased, for interment. aie The Rothschilds Intervened. The Paris correspondent of the London Times says that it is understood that cnly the intervention of the Rothschilds on Sat- urday prevented the panic at Paris from becoming positively disastrous. A dispatch to the Daily News from Ber- lin says that but for the assistance ren- dered by the Rothschilds on Saturday bourse ‘prices would have closed still weaker. The panic could not have been worse on the eve of a general European war. Tofent Health SENT FREE It is a matter of vast importance to mothers.

Increased Dry Dock Facilities Are Also Required — An Experimental Tank at Washington Navy Yard. In his annual report to the Secretary of the Navy Chief Constructor Hichborn speaks of the great care required by mod- ern steel ships, and says that unless more ample appropriations are made for their care and preservation and the general main- tenance of the yard plants the efficiency of the fleet will be diminished and government property will suffer serious deterioration. Increased Dry Dock Facilities. Probably the most important part of the report fs that devoted to the necessity of increased dry dock facilities. Mr. Hich- born notes the fact that there was no dock, government or private, in the country suffl- ciently large to dock the Indiana presny inary to her trial trip. “If,” he says, “such a condition confronts the department in time of peace, it is easily realized how seri- ous a defect it would prove in time of war, when the casualties of battle and necessity for keeping the bottoms of vessels in such condition that they might develop their highest speed would largely increase the demands of our docking facilities.” He also recommends that “in order that the plants at our principal naval stations may always be kept in a high state of effl- ciency for the performance of the general work of the repairing and fitting out, it is earnestly recommended that in future ap- propriations provision be made for having at least one vessel in course of construction at each of the three principal navy yards,” Estimates for Next Year. The report renews the recommendation previously made of an experimental tank at the Washington navy yard in which care- fully conducted experiments could be made with models in such a way as to anticipate the performance of the completed vessel, these results not being capable of attain- ment in any otner way. The report includes estimates for appropriations for next year, the most important of which is $5,805,679, to be expended on vessels authorized by Con- gress for the Increase of the navy. He also asks for $1,500,000 for the general repair of vessels and the purchase of stéres and ma- chinery; $528,000 for continuance of work already authorized on the Hartford, the Chicago and other vessels, and $500,000 for two composite sailing vessels. o—____ “What Mr. Siadons Said. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your report of the annual meeting of the Civic Center, heid last evening, I am quoted as characterizing the personal tax as a “rank fake.” While not claiming to greater elegance of speech than a man of fair in- telligence and some knowledge of the king’s English is likely to possess, I certainly am not accustomed to commit such gross im- propriety of language as the report makes out. I did not use the words attributed to me, and the nearest that I came to them was the statement that the assessment and collection of the personal tax was here universally conceded to be:a farce.
