Consul Chancellor at Havre has sent te the State Department a report of the re- cent tests of horseless carriages in France. As these vehicles ‘are being introduced in America interest in them is on the increase. He says: “The winning conveyances were propelled by gasoline, and the rate of speed was about fifteen miles an hour, which is re- garded as an extr2mely creditable per- formance, the long lines of hills being taken into account. These hills appear io have proved too muca for the carriages pro- pelled by electricity, of which only one got through, the others having abandoned the contest. One of the steam carriages was brought to a standstill at Versailles early in the race, owing to an accident, and the cthers lest time by frequent stoppages of five and ten minutes, made for the purpose of taking in coal and water. The electrical ecnveyances had also to stop, from time to time, to renew th dynamic charg but the petroleum machines carried en force for a twenty-four hours’ run, and on the return journey the run was made with- out a single stop. In comparing the merits of the different propelling agents, the palm mist, so far, be awarded to petroleum, which is clean and can be easily carri The ordinary feeder used for short dis. tances contains less than four quarts of cil, which will last over a journey of twenty miles, or two and one-half hours. For long distances, a receptacle capable of hold- ing enough petroleum for a run of at least twenty or tweniy-four hours is provided. Bloomers May Decline. “We hear also of bicycles propelled by petroleum, in which great interest has been exhibited, and half a dozen of such machines started In the race to Bordeaux, ene, at least, helding its own among the larger vebicles, It is believed that light petroleum bicycles, tricycles, and even four- wheelers, will soon come into general use, wrich will tend to relieve lady cyclists from the necessity of wearing short skirts. Al- together, it seems that petroleum is des- Uned to become the popular agent for solv. ing the problem of traffic and conveyan without horses in the streets of great cities and on smooth country roads. “It has already made astonishing head- way in the uses and industries of the world. in Japam, it has become almost the sole illuminant, and on the Caspian sea the Rus- sian steamers burn nothing else for their engines,” An English Confession. Mr. Chancellor, in this connection, quotes at some length from an English newspaper to show the lack of enterprise in Great} Britain in adopting Jate inventions. This journal, commenting oa the horseiess car- riage race, said: “Why is it that we are so slow in this country to take up improvements of such | immense social importance? Ours is the land of machines and machinery, of skilled in- ventors and colossal enterprises, yet in many respects England lags behind the whole civilized world in availing herself of the discoveries of science. There is not as much use made in the whole of London of the telephone as in one single quarter of Washington city, and there are prairie t of the United States more magnificently lighted by electricity than the best street of London. Electric tram cars | and tram cables may be seen in many and | many a city abroad, while here they are still novelties. Years ago the tourist might have watched a detached electric or pe- troleum phaeton quickly threading the thickest crowd of carriages in the Place de | VOpera at Paris; and now we have French- men again, instead of the countrymen of Watt and of Stephenson, acting as pioneers to the new age which will certainly effect the deliverance of great cities from horse traffic and of the horses themselves from @ cruel and destructive use of their strength. Lendon's Poor Tramway Facilities. “It fs a circumstance which has been fre- quently commented on that there are no horseless conveyances other than cycles and a few cable tram cars in London. The reason is sald to be that the law restricts the adoption of horseless vehicles in Eng- land to a very great extent. They are all subject to conditions upon which alone lo- comotives of primitive construction, steam rollers, &c., are suffered to go through the Streets. A man must go before with a red flag, and the speed must be under four miles in the country or two in the town. The re- striction was probably very well before the days of rapid transit, and it may be very well yet in its application to heavy loco- motive It w against no doubt, intended to guard ‘dents due to the frightening of But horses, like human beings, soon ome accustomed to new and strange hts, and are nowadays seldom frightened even by the railway locomotive; besides, it is absurd to class a light carriage with a | road locomotive or steam roller, because its motive power is steam, gas, petroleum or electricity. But since the successful experi- ments recently made in France, London seems to have caught the gleam of a ray of | hope that horseless cabs and omnibuses may | soon be seen in her streets. Mr. Shaw Lefevre, president of the local government ! board, has introduced into the house of commons a bill intended to permit such car- riages to be used, and they will no doubt soon become a common sight in the streets of London, as they are now in the streets of Paris, Havre and other French cities, Ro ance and Reality. From the New York Weekly, dimson—“The saddest part of city life is the fact that you frequently see faces that you long to know, yet never see again.” Billson—“That’s true, and the saddest thing about country life is the fact that you easily make the acquaintance of the owners of such faces and thi half to death.” eee eres | sionary societies of the Presbyterian Chu IN THE CHURCHES Since last year every Episcopal church in’ the city, with the exception of St. An- drew's, has formed a vested choir.

It was expected that the latter organization would render Mendelssohn’s oratorio, “The Hymn of Praise,” with a large chorus, soloists, organ and orchestra, during the latter part of November, but It has been decided lately to pestpone the ren- dition until later, probably some time in the Christmas holidays. On Wednesday of last week Cardinal Gib- bons ordained at the Redemptorist House of Studies, in Maryland, a number of young candidates for the priesthood, among them being Rey. Francis A.

George Glaab, pastor of St. Mary’s Church, located in this city on 5th street northwest, between G and H streets. To provide more room in the parochial resi- dence of St. Mary's a third story has just been completed. It is of brick, of the same kind as is used in the old portion, and is really a finishing of the rectory more than an_ addition. At the service of All Saints’ Day in the Church of St. Michaei’s and All Angels’, Protestant Episcopal, a new altar was blessed by the rector, Rev. Clarence wW. | Bispham. The new altar, though lacking much ornamentation, is of oak, painted white. The old one has been placed in St. Margaret’s Church. During Advent the rector proposes to have daily ce!ebra- tion of the communion, and also daily morning and evening prayer. The last meeting of the present board of control of the Washington District Ep- worth League is to be held Wednesday evening week in the parlors of Foundry Church. At this meeting two important questions will come up for discussion and final settlement. One is the resolution passed at the late convention to provide for an Epworth League bureau in the interests of the American University and the other | the place and time of installation of the new officers. Rev Father McNairn of the Redemptorist Order preached at St. Paul's Church last Sunday. Cardinal Gibbons is to preach and confirm a large class at St. Mary’s Church | tomorrow.

Why He Had Reached the Conclusion That He Was an Episcopalian. From the New York Journal. Rustic theclogy often contains much com- men sense, thovgh not always in accord with the canons. A clergyman came to preach in a southern parish, and while wa!k- ing across the fields met a farm lavorer, who in the course of conversation said he was a 'Piscopal. The clergyman was glad to hear it, and asked if he belonged to the parish, to which the laborer answered that he “didn’t knaw.” “Then what diocese do you belong to?” Was the next question. “Ther’ ain't nawthin' like that ‘round here,” replied the other. “Who confirmed you, then?” Nobody,” answered the laborer. “Then you are an Episcopalian?” asked th» clergyman. “Well,” was the reply, it's this way: Last winter I was a Visitin’'a friend, and while I was there I went to chure it was called "Piscopal, and I heard them say that they ‘left undone the things what they oughter done, and they'd things what they ‘ou see, it ought to myself, says I, ‘That's en dc y fix, e and ever since I considered myself a ‘Pis palian.”” —- --— ee.

Stanley Stokes, a well-known Denver newspaper man, is pissing a two weeks’ vacation in Galveston. Mr. Stokes was one of the first newspapef men to “write up’ Schlatter, the “Christ man,” the myste- rious healer of Denver. He went out ex- pecting to write up a fake, but could do nothing else but write a serious article abcut the man, The paper was not satis- fied, although it had implicit confidence in Mr. Stokes, ard the artistic “roaster” of the force was assigned to “do” Mr. Schlat- ter. This reporter returned, and could han- dle the matter in no other manner than se- riously. And of all the reporters for the Denver papers, none have dared to ques- tion the fellow’s honesty, his undoubted cures or his straightforward methods. In speaking of the matter Mr. Stokes said: “Denver has been stirred to its founda- ticn. ‘The ministers from their pulpits have proclaimed him a lunatic, and the physi- ciens ridiculed him when he first came there, though the doctors criticised him less and were more charitable than the wii ers. But Schlatter paid no attention to either, the crowds kept flocking to him, and he devoted regular hours to all who could get to him each day. From 9 o'clock in the morning until 4 p.m., bare- headed, he stood at his station within an inclosure, the people coming in regular turn, forming a line on the street sile of the fence. It was a clasp of the right hard, a motion of the lips in prayer, the words, “Thanks, Father,’ quietly uttered by the Fealer, and the sick, crippled and sut- fering passed on. For three months this man has been doing this regularly every ‘k day, skowing remarkable endurance. But once cr twice since the first day has he been able to attend to all who came in one day. Persens have stood in line for three and four days before they could get to him. They began to assemble there as early as 2 o'clock in the morning, and gay light has discovered as many as 150 or 20¢ in line, supplied with lunch. By the time that the kealer came out of the house I have seen as many as 3,000 in a line which extended nearly arovnd the entire block. But few immediate cures were expected, for the most of them were chronic cases, though many efilicted with aches and pains claimed immediate relief. The Wealthy Interested. “Tyose who began to come first were of the poorer class mostly, and two or three days after the healer began his work hap py-faced people began flocking about him, tellmg the crowds how they had been ctred, some of them, too, claiming they tad be2n seriously afflicted for years with rFeumatism and other d:seases. Interest In the man began to increase, and the car- riages cf the wealthy residents of the town were seen to roll into that portion cf the city. The faith demonstrated in the healer was something remarkable. His fame spread, ard people began to pour in from Maulti- las Miraculous the cutside towns, ‘and wonderful cures were reported. Invalids began coming from Omaha, St. Louis, Kansas City and Chi- eogo, and when I left'a week ago they were coming to Denver‘by the train loads. Last Saturday night a’train brought 200 frcm the line of the ’Unfon Pacific railway. General Manager Ditkinson had investigat- ed Schlatter and sent word along the line that he would start a train from Omaha Saturday morning for Denver, and all em- pleyes Cf the line who were afflicted or any memters of their families could go to Denver to see the heater. Some days as meny as 5,000 have assembled about him. “Schlatter is a remarkable looking man. nds about six feet three inches in heuldered, deep-chested, ses broad’ feature: Sincerity and deer at once convincing he is doing; that self, and every act cf is . ‘To all he says he is doing the work of the Father and all that Is re- quired for a cure ts faith.

The first of the series of games in the inter- class league of foot ball has been won by ‘98. An -ntertainment for the benefit of the poor was given last week in Gaston Alumni Hall, under the auspices of the conference of St. Vincent de Paul. Messrs. McLaugh- lin, Keane, O'Connor and Greene gave impersonations and Messrs. Douglas and Leahy declaimed. The class of ’98, in cap and gown, hold semi-weekly discussions on philosophy. The subject treated last week was skepti- cismcism, with Messrs. Berry and Kelly as lecturers and the professor as objector. Yesterday, being the feast of St. Cecilia, was celebrated by the members of the choir; a half holiday was granted them, and an elaborate supper was given in the evening, followed by a literary and musi- cal entertainment. Dr. Welsh is conducting in the post- graduate class a course of history in con- nection with the lectures of Martin F. Morris on constitutioral liberty. A friend and benefactor of the college, who wishes to remain unknown, has pre- sented the post-graduates with $1,000 for its library of literature. . The old library in the north building is being handsomely furnished for the post- graduates as a library and lecture room. It will contain books of immediate refer- ence and-literary collections, distinct from the scientific works employed by the grad- uate students. This is an addition to the facilities offered them by the alcoves of the Riggs Mbrary. The Glee Club held a meeting on Tuss- day last to appoint new officers. Mr. O'Gorman, who led the club so ably last year, will continue in the same position this year and will be assisted by the man- ager, Mr. Tracy, a post-graduate. The club will meet regularly now, and will probably give its first concert of the season before Christmas. It has been decided that the Athletic Association will have a game of foot ball on Thanksgiving day, between the two ablest teams of the college— and '98. Work has been begun in fitting up a gymnasium in the southern wing of the main building. It is principally intended for winter training for the track athletics. The Philodemic Sozie:y sent a challenge to Boston College, ich was accepted, to hold a public debate here some time after Christmas, giving them the privilege of selecting the subject.
