Tomorrow, as announced in The Star, the corner stone of the first church in the Unit- ed States or in the world, solely devoted to the us2 of colored disciples of the doc- trines of Emanuel Swedenborg, wili be laid with appropriate ceremonies. The exercises are to take place at 1 o'clock, and the stone wiil be put in place by the Rev. Dr. Peter C. Lewis, the pastor, assisted by Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, the superintendent of the Sunday school. Among those who will also take part in the ceremony will be the Rev. Dr. Frank Sewall, pastor of the local New Church; Rev. Mr. Worcester sof Philadel- phia, Pa., and the Revs. Hiram Vrooman and J. E. Allnutt of Baltimore. In the stone receptacle there will be placed a his- tory of the church and resume of the dgc- trines of the denomination and also a copy of the current number of The Star. Quite a number of the white brethren of the faith in Washington are expected to be present, as well as those of color, for the reason that the church now being erected is to equal any church in this city for unique- ness of design and the purposes to which it is to be put, and certainly excel those of the colored population in this respect. The present congregation was organized in April of 1892, mainly through the efforts of Gen. R. D. Mussey, and was then given the official name which it still bears, The First African Society of the New Jerusa- lem. The original members came out of the Methodist Church, and were collected to- gether under the guidance of Rev. Peter C. Lewis, then as now the pastor. Rev. Mr. Lewis had previously to this worked as a New Church reader for twenty years, and was well qualified for the duties he as- sumed. He, however, met with opposition from the Methodist Church, from whose ranks he had obtained his own congrega- tion, but persevered, with the help of the local New Church, headed by Gen. Mussey, and when the latter died, by his widow, Mrs. Mussey. At the general convention of the Swedenborgian Church of the United States, which met in Cincinnati, in 1892, resolutions were passed, authorizing the movement and giving it, then as now, sub- stantial financial and moral support. The society named a committee, composed of Rev. Jabez Fox, Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mus- sey, Prof. J. W. Hunt and C. A. Spamer of Baltimore, to act in an advisory relation and represent it at conventions. This com- mittee also undertook the work of raising FOOD STRENGTH. It Comes From the Right Food Properly Digested. Food strength 1s natural strength. It is new strength; created strength. That is, it is not stimulation. ‘The real strength of your body 1s your constitu- tional strength, your reserve strength. It is the result of eating proper food and digesting it. Eating food docs no good at all; rather harm— unless it is digested. So that everything narrows itself down to one proposition: How is your dl- gestion? . One person in three of us have indigestion in some form or arother. It is not really a disease, but a condition; a condition which may become serious, We all wish to be strong, and we might all be- come so if we digested our food.

As co-operators in this work : ay be mentioned the names of Mrs. Hannah B. Sperry and Mr. Alien M. Pren- tiss. The building which was torn down to make room for the new edifice three weeks ago was the first structure ever occupied by the congregation and was in former years a Methodist church. In connection with this sketch of the history of the church it may be stated that the New Church was one of the first religious bodies to engage in the colonization of Liberia, and for this reason a number of promi- nent citizens of the African republic are watching the local work with considerable interest, among whom may be mentioned Dr. Edward Blagden. . A Unique Edifice. While the house of worship now being erected is called a church, still in the or- dinary acceptation of the term it is more than that, and resembles in a number of its features the famous institutional church of Rev. Dr. Scudder of New Jersey. The building is lovated at the nortReast corner of 10th and V streets northwest, the ground there owned by the congregation having a frontage on 10th street, beginning at the corner of V and running up to an alley of ninety feet and a depth of fifty. The church is located on the northern portion of the lot, and fits north wall is on the alley. Its total width ig thirty-five feet and its depth fifty feet. The material used in construc- tion is selected red brick, trimmed with red sand stone in a similar color. Additional ornamentation is provided for the exterior by means of a number of copper finions, ccpings, gutters and the like. The building is of three stories in height. At the north- west corner there will rise a square towe! surmounted by a high slated roof. On the front and on the north side there will be gables in the roof, the latter being slated. The principal entrance is to be located at the base of the tower, but there will be another one in the rear of the building. The windows have pointed arches, the architecture of the whole structure being Gothic. As soon as ore enters the lower vestibule one of the best features in the building will meet the eye. This will be in the shape of a fire-preof stairway. There are no such arrang-ments, it Is thought, in any edifice devoted to educational or religious pur- poses in this city. The architect, Mr. Paul J. Pelz, observed this feature in a number of the buildings of Europe, especially while he was studying at Breslau, and this will be the second time he has incorporated it in plans fer this city, the first being in tne stairway of Gaston Hall, Georgetown Uni- versity The steps and platform are to be of granolith and the sides of the naked brick. Other arrangements will be added in its construction, so that this staircase will subserve the place of a fire escape en- tirely. As one enters on the lower floor to the right is to be an entrance leading to a set of toilet rooms for the men. Ncw fea- tures in this line will be bath tubs and sta- tionary stards, and the man who enters with more of the natural soil than is necessary will be asked to enter and use some soap and a towel. The front portion is also taken up by a room for the heating apparatus and the rear is also divided into two rooms. The first and largest Is to be devoted to use as a gymnasium, and for that reason is seventeen feet wide, forty- five fect long and twelve feet high. Its floor, however, will be perfection, and when completed, though not so large as some, it will be the cqual of any gymna- sium in the city. It is intended to lay down first a covering of cement and then over that will be spread six inches of tan bark. By this means and owing to the length of the room, exercises requiring something of an impetus, such as the running broad jump, can bo indulged in to a considerable extent. Adjoining the gym will be a kitch- en, sixteen feet by sixteen. This is to be fitted up with all the requirements of a modern kitchen, and in it will be given practical lessons in the culinary art. On the second floor and directly above the men's toilet and bath rooms are to be similar rooms for the women. Adjoining this and occupying the southwest corner will be the office. As the schemes of those in charge will necessitate a constant use of the build- ing both day and night, the person charged with conducting the operations will have his permanent headquarters here. The rear half Is to be divided into a room for a Kindergarten, 17x27, and a lecture room, 17x24. They will be arranged with sliding partitions, sc that they can be thrown into one as occasion may require. The plat- forms from which the lectures and teach- ers are to hold forth are to be movable in order that when the two are thrown into ore the acoustic properties may no: lessened. ‘4 pee The Main Auditorium. On the third and upper floor the Plans eall for the main auditorium, which will be the church proper. The whole floor space is to be occupied by this with the ex- ception of a small space to be used as a store room. The auditorium is to consist PSE IN TOWN, HONEY.

In addition to these features a reading room is also to be provided.

Strength of the Order and Its Allies— Whnt the Association Will Ask of Political Parties. From the New York Herald. One thousand delegates to the Superior Ccuneil of the American Protective Asso- ciation met in annual seesion last Tuesday and Wednesday in Rochester, N. Y: The convention represented an actual voting strength In this state of 313,000, and In the nation of about 3,500,000, The most important action taken by the Supreme Couactl in Rochester was with reference to the coming presidential. nom- inations. A political policy was formulat- ed by the convention, the matter of candi- dates was discusssed, and a line of action laid down regarding the question of party platforms and issucs. : The American Protective Association and the allied orders are non-partisan. They make no nominations of their own, but in- dorse the candidacy of such men as are personae gratae to them. By such action, it was told in Rochester, local elections, and in some instances state elections, have been won by *hem. One of the peculiar features of the con- vention was that in the resolutions that were adopted no mention by name was made of any candidate for President or any other office, state or local. Discussion of candidates came up either informally on the floor of the hail or else in committee. The Superio® Council, in following out the requirements of its constitution, declared that it would irdorse only that’ party, or those parties, which should nominate can- didates whose recoris are not opposed to the principles of the association, upon a platferm which sFuuld embody patriotic utterances consistent with these pringiples. What It Will Demand. The Amerizan Protective Association will demand asthe cones etens its support of any nominee of ‘dhy party for Presi- dent that the platform of the national con- vention of that party shall reaffirm the principle of the total/separation of church and state, the restriction of immigration and the reform of the laws regarding citi- zenship and the right of franchise. Tt will demand, top, Ahat such party shalt reaffirm {ts faith ifthe American public school system as the basis of liberty and prosperity. The allied orders make claim to a memb ip representing moré than one-fourth of the voting population of the United States. assefi' that they hoid absolutely the balzice of power, and that it is in their nowet to elect or defeat ony presidential nominee. This table-shows their voting strength, as it was represented to me by a delegate to the Rochester convention, who gaye to me this information: American Protective Association. 8,500,690 National League for the Protection of American Institutions. Junior Order United American Me- chanics ts Patriotic Order Sons of Order of Deputies. All other patriotic America. Total weet K About 2,500,000 of this membership are associated with two or more of the organi- zations, so that the actual voting strength of the allied orders is not far-from <,000,000, The National League for the «Protectfo! of American Institutions is not strict member of the allied orders, as it is not secret. Its presideat is William H. Par- sons, its secretary is the Rev. Dr. James M. King, and on its list of membership are the names of Dorman B. Eaton, W. 32. Kunhardt, John D. Slayback, J. Edward Simmons, Jonathan ‘Trumbull, Henry Hitchcock, Bishop Arthur C. Coxe, Gen. Henry ‘V. Boynton, William Allen Butler, Cephas Brainerd, Henry E. Howland and William H. Peckham. The league is work- ing to procure this amendment, the six- teenth to the Constitution of the United States: “Neither Congress nor any state shall pass any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or usa the property or credit of the United Stat@s, or of any state, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize either to be used, for the purpose of found- fug, maintaining er aiding, by appropria- tion, payment for services, expenses or otherwise, any church, religious denomina- tion or religious society, or any institution, society or undertaking, which is wholly or in part under sectarian or ecclesiastical control.” This amendment was indorsed by dele- gates from the different patriotic orders to a_convention held in Washington last March. Common Ground. The Patriotic Orders and the National League meet on common ground, and work together in their approval of this platform: “The objects of the league are to secure constitutional and legistative safeguards for the protection of the common school system and other American institutions, and to promote public instruction in) har- mony with suclf institutions, and to. pre- vent all sectarian or denominational ap- propriations of public funds.”.. Regarding the personnel of its member- ship, an interesting report was read at the Rochester meeting. It was said that 10S members of Congress, the governors of four states, majorities in the legislatures of several states, the school boards of 214 citiesjand towns, and a ma- jority of city* and Aown officials in every central and western state were members of or allfett with thea, P.:A.~ é ‘The national reprégentation, according to the report, {s divided as follows: Ohio ...+--+5- Pennsylvania Indiana .

Hag No Equal Local Alarm and Other Notes of General Interest. Gharged With am Assauli—Death of a Little One—Wood Wanted for the Poor. A local alarm for fire was turned in this morning about 9 o'clock for a blaze in the grocery stor: of C. W. Cornwell & Co., on 32d street, near the corner of N street, to which the engines promptly answered. The fire was discovered on the second floor by a colored employe of the store, who quickly gave the alarm. On account of the quan- tity of goods stored on the floor the fire- men had a rather hard time in reaching the seat of the flame, and when the blaze was extinguished it looked as if a cyclone had swept over the place. The scene of the fire was nowhere near a stove or chimney, and hence the origin ts supposed to be due to spontaneous combustion. The loss is less than $500, fully covered by in- surance. Narrow Escape. Henry Gissell, the young son of Mr. Ben- jamin Gissell, the baker of 1419 32d street, bad a narrow escape this morning from serious injury. He was out on the route delivering bread to customers, and while the wagon was coming down 32d street near R street, the horse going at a good rate, the rear wheel came off and the wagon, in failing to one side, veered the front around in such a manner as to force a collision with cne of the trolley poles of the Georgetown and Tenleytown rail- road. The front of the wagon was dam- aged, but, fortunately, the driver escaped with no injury other than a severe shaking up. ? Charged With Assault. William Thomas, colored, aged twenty, was arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out by Charles Waters, charging him with assault. The matter grows out of an altercation which occurred on January 16 on M street near 30th street, in which a crowd of negroes were involved. A num- ber of bricks were thrown ayd one or two heads bruised, which resulted in several arrests and convictions in the Police Court. Thomas had been successful in eluding ar- rest until last evening, when he was tinally caught. Little One Dead. Amy Bell, the youngest daughter of Mrs. Margaret F. Balenger, died yesterday morning, at the age of five. The little girl was a particularly bright and interesting child, and her loss is a sad one to the household. The funeral services will be held this evening at 7:30 o'clock at the home of the mother cf the deceased, at 1008 35th street. After the religious ceremony the remains will be taken to the depot and shipped by rail to Forestville, Va., the home of the family, where the interment will be made. Wood Going to Waste. For several years past several cords of wood have been lying outside of the old pump house on U street, rotting away. The pump house has been closed down entirely, and the wood is of no possible use to the District government. The suggestion has been made that the wood be turned over to the Associated Charities of Georgetown, and let that body distribute it among the reor people of the West End. This would be a great deal better than to allow the wood to conting to decay, as it has been Going. Notes. Messr3. Guy V. Collins and J.

From Harper's Bazar, In Caracas French fashions predominate, and the ladies appear on the street in the latest Parisian mode, from the plumes and ribbons upon their hats to the high-heeled shoes on their dainty little feet. The wo- tien of Venezuela may be divided into two classes—those who are served and, those who,serve. The lives of the former are simple, and they do not bother their heads about woman's rights nor enter into polit- ical strife. One may justly ask, then, what do these ladies do? The answer {s—they live. So does the house plant or the fig tree in the court yard. What more can be required of them? The cabullero expects work from neither wife nor daughter. His house is filled with servants, and his wife is treated as some beautiful thing—we might say as a clock or some handsome piece of furniture. The house is her do- main, where she may rule as she pleases, and papaita has little to say. The Cara- quenan beauties titter behind the curtains of the iron-barred, balconied window as the unhappy swain is compelled to prome- nade on the sidewalk and watch for an op- portunity to get a word or a look from his object of adoration. Mamaita occupies her- self with embroidery or directs her serv- ants, and when her daughters desire to go for a walk she must accompany them, for they are not allowed to go on the street alone. Life among the lowly is different. The women are free to come and go as they please. The costume consists of an embroi- dered chemise, cut extremely low in the neck, and a flounced skirt of calico. A girl of this class adorns her neck with a string of beads and allows her hair to hang down her back, generally in two braids. She car- ries herself with dignity; and her long scarf-like shawl, usually of gay colors, which she throws gracefully over her head or allows to fall upon her shoulders, gives her a picturesque effect. —__-+0+___ SAVED BY THE DRUMMER BOY. Little Offie’s Drum Taps Stopped a Panic in a School. . Offie Downs, the fourteen-year-old drum- mer boy in the Dodge street school at Omaha, calmed a fire panic among 500 children recently, and perhaps saved many lives. It was his duty twice a day to stand at the bottom of the stairs and march the scholars cut to the step of an army rattle. ‘This was called the fire drill, and the pupils from the infant class up were told they must never hesitate when the drum sound- ed. There was great consternation when the gong sounded the fire alarm. Offle Downs alore, apparently, of all the pupils kept his head. He rapidly passed up the aisles, went down two flights of stairs on the run, got his drum and, though the smoke was 80 dense that he could hardly see his way, tcok position at the bottom of the stairs just as the 500 pupils appeared In a herd at the top. The first tap of the drum acted I!ke magic. Supt. Allen pulled three little girls and a boy from under the feet of the rush- ing children and commanded them to keep step to the music. The little ones then remembered their lesson, and to the music calmly came down the long flights as they Shad done a thousand times before. In a minute every child was out of the building. Young Downs is the hero of the hour. The fire started from an overheated far- nace stack. It was easily extinguished by the department. ——— -s00 A Contractor's Claim Decided. The controller of the treasury has de- cided that the contractor for the interior finish of the public building at St. Albans, Vt., destroyed by fire, is entitled to $4,710 under his contract. The controller disal- lowed the claim for material in the building and stock in storage, notwithstanding they were destroyed by fire at the same time. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN THE NEW WOMAN. lok Regarding Women Have Changed. THE ATHLETIC WOMAN REIGNS Which Makes the Best Wife, the Bicycle Girl, or the Delicate, “Otinging Vine?” Not so very long ago, the ideal: woman was the helpless, strengthless creature, who must be pio- tected from the faintest breath of air, aml from the slightest exertion. She was beautifally and confidingly dependent upon the manly “oak” to Which she clung. She passed from an utter de- pendence upon her father and brothers to an equally utter dependence upon a husband. She had little self-reliance, and still less ability to take care of herself. And now, of late change—anl we bear of a Wonan."* That there actually is a “New Woman,” there can be no doubt, Her manner of clothing herself has really very little to do with the case. Her newness consists rather in a new “mind and a new body than in new clothes. She Is distinctly ble to tuke care of hereelf.
