St. Alban’s Church, on the Tealeytown road, opposite the old Woodley Inn, is still without a spiritual head, and has heen ever since the resignation of the formér rector, Rev. Mr. Falls, over a month ago. Since that time the board of vestrymen of the church has extended but one call, and that to a prominent young Washington civine, but the call was declined. No action has been taken since this, though in the inter- vening time the board has received a num- ber of letters from ministers all over the country, offering to take charge of the spiritual affairs of the church. In all, about fourteen suck letters have’ been received, and one of them comes across the Atlantic from a minister in England. The board has had a talk with Bishop-elect Satterlee of this diocese, and, upon his advice, no steps will be taken to fill the pulpit until he as- sumes his work in this city. The installa- tion services of the new bishop will not take place until the latter part of next month, and in the meanwhile St. Alban’s Church will not have any regular minister in charge. West Street Church, ‘The services last evening preparatory to the communion at the West Street Presby- terlan Church was of more than usual in- ‘terest, and the attendance was large. The sermon of Dr. Alexander was one of the most instructive and interesting he has ever delivered on a similar occasion. The text wres from the third chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Phillipians, first clause of the eighth verse. Building Operations. Bullding operations in Georgetown for the past month, considering the period of the year, are rather lively. During the month @ permit was taken out by the Capital Traction Company to erect a two-story brick stable at 1202 36th street, to cost $3,000. The only other permit for a new building was taken out by Mr. T. B. Hol- brook, who is erecting a two-story frame attic and basement dwelling in the county, in Cleveland Park, between Park and Omaha streets. John Thomas is repairing for Mrs. Samuel Waters the frame house at 1213 32d street, which was recently gutted by fire. Willizm Voigt is making extensive improvements cn his frame dwelling, located on the Tenl ey town road. Mrs. L. V. Sullivan is building a brick addition to 1657 32d street. John Stevens has enlarged the frame store at 101 32d st t. R. J. Jones is improving the rear of 2703 Dumbarton avenue by the erection of an additional building. A Tournament. At the St. John’s Workingmen’s Club, which 1s located at 1410 32d street, a par- cheesi tournament is in session, which was inaugurated two weeks ago, and which will continue for another fortnight. Consider able interest is manifested in the tourney, and there is much speculation as to the Probable winners. Messrs. Poore and ia- herty are in the lead at present, but short distance ahead. The score up to d: is as follows: Won, Last. 24 15 2 14 15 12 2 19 20 Is 20 19 6 30 The partners of the above named in regular order are as follows: Flalicr Poland, Fenley, Shanks, Kaester, Leveron and Golden.

Morris Post, No. 19, G. A. R. The movement has not as yet assumed any definite shape, but it is understood is being engineered by the members of the Grand Army pest, who are anxi an organization of their sons e in order to perpetuate the deeds of the war and keep ever alive the flame of patriotism, Notes.

Investigations Pursued by the Ger- man Government and Their Results. And now bacteria has been found in grain, and in vast numbers, too, according to a report to the State Department from United States Consul Stephan at Annaberg. ‘The German agrarians, always on the look- out for any plausible pretext to keep out foreign competition, hailed with - delight the news that Prof. Heinrich, in Rostock, had found numerous bacteria in Russian and Roumanian grain, which were the more deadly as they could not be rendered harm- less even by the heat of the oven. They hoped that the importation of this grain would be prohibited in the same manner as American cattle and meat were excluded not long ago, on account of alleged Texas fever. ‘The matter was brought to the attention of the reichstag by an agrarian member, when it presently appeared that the Ger- man government had already been making an inquiry. The director’ of public health reported that sixteen German and seven- teen foreign samples of grain had been ex- amined for bacteria. The purest was the American; then came Moravian, Bohemian and Hungarian barley; the most impure was Turkish rye. In one gramme of Ger- mar. wheat 14,000 to 230,000 bacteria were found; in Russian, 256,000 to 309,000; in La Plata wheat only 5,000. A sample’ which showed 859,000"bacteria, in Rostock, showed fourteen days later, in’ Berlin, only 150,000, so rapidly does the germ disappear. As re- gards the character of these bacteria such as would endanger health were not found in a single sample, so that the grain is ab- solutely harmless. But even the worst bacteria are destroyed by the heat of the oven. ————_- e -_____ FALLING DEAD IN THE STREETS, Women, Children and Horses Victims to Unparalleled Heat. Mail advices are to the effect that besides terrible storms and awful destruction to marine property along the Australian coast. the weather on land has been unprecedent- edly hot, and the death rate from sunstroke has been excessively high. In a great many sections the crops are ruined. In Queensland 113 in the shade is the recorded temperature, and in many places in Australia the thermometer reach- ed 125 in the shade. Startling statistics are to hand of death from heat. On one day eighty people were interred at Sydney. So great was the demand for grages that managers of cemeteries had to engage a number of assistants. Nearly all those who succumbed were infants and aged persons. In the crowded commercial centers citizens are walking the streets all night. There is a mad rush from the city to the country. 3 Records are coming in from north, east, south and west of the terrible heat. Sheep and cattle are dying in droves for want of fodder and water. In Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria the heat has never been so excessive. Men, women, children and horses drop down in the street and die before assistance can reach them. To add to the distress scarlet fever and other epidemics prevail in many localities. ——__+e- ___ Expenditures of the Dintricr.
