The First Presbyterian Church now has morning service, with its own minister, Rev. Andrews, instead of after- Boon, as formerly, with Rev. Rathbone of Falls Church. Full benches and largely increased 1o- terest in clurch matters generally testify most stroogly an appreciation of the change. Mt. Olivet, under the energetic direction of its minister, Rev. Norris, has completed and is hold- ing services in ite new church, which has a seat- ing capacity triple that of the old. This old structure was erected soon after the war on the site of the unte-bellum church destroyed by the army in 1861 on its first occupancy of Alexandria county. The new building is one that any rural congregation might well feel proud of. Mr. J. W. Sutton ts enlarging his dwelling house to more than double its former dimensions. J. E. Dyer of Georgetown now has his country home completed. Mr. Conroy), the purchaser of the Law 25, acres adjacent to Mt.

The work of surveying the Grove, which was impeded by force of circumstances, has been re- sumed, under tie supervision of Mr. J. C. Maddox, the county surveyor. A tract of ground, triangular in shape, and 1y- ing near the switch, about five hundred yards from the station, has been sold to Mr. H. Diamond of Gaithersburg, for $805. The unsightly back building which has stood for years in the back yard of Mrs. Kelly's cottage, on the circle, has been removed, much to the satis- faction of the Groveites. ‘The work of reassessing the Grove, which was performed by Messrs. Etchison, Brown and Poole of Gaithersburg, bas been completed. Mr. Edward Stevens has rented the cottage of Dr. George Ober. Master Willie Houghton, WwW.

Mr. Ernest Ingersoll describes “The Tricks of Torpedo Boats” in the August St. Nicho- las. After telling what the boats are like and what they can accomplish, Mr. Ingersoll says: But to insure all these fine results, both officers and men must be taught how to manage and maneuver them to best ad- vantage, as well as how to discharge the torpedoes they carry. Constant drilling is necessary, and lately one of these boats in our navy, the Cushing (so suitably named after the young hero of the civil war, who destroyed the rebel ram Albemarle by means of a rude torpedo boat—one of the first actually used), has been attached to the naval station at Newport, R. I., In order to carry on this practice. One set of officers and men after another is instructed in han- dling her, and in the making and firing of her torpedoes, and they have plenty of fun along with the schooling. ‘The headquarters of this work 1s Goat Is- land, which separates Newport harbor from the outer waters of Narragansett Bay. There is a searchlight which commands the harbor entrances and a wide circle of the bay. One or more warships are always there. Those searchlights also can be swung in any direction. Yet the Cushing arrived one night and first announced her- self by suddenly blowing her whistle witHin pistol-shot of the inner wharf of the island— and it was not a dark night either. A few afternoons later she went down the bay and challenged every eye to be alert to see her return in the evening. It was bright moon- light—a time in which no such boat would attempt a serious attack—yet Lieutenant Fletcher, the Cushing’s commander, crept within a third of a mile of the shore before he was detected. It would have pleased you to see her that night, as she came plain- ly into view—a long, low streak gliding silently and swiftly athwart the moonlit sea, rolling a silvery furrow back from her plow-like bow, and seeming more like some great fish with its back fins out of water than any sort of steamship. But it is on dark and stormy nights that the practice becomes exciting. Groups of officers stand upon the rampart of Fort Wol- cott or upon the bridge of each monttor or cruiser, and strain eyes and ears to obtain some inkling of the torpedo boat's presence, the long white beam of the electric search- light sweeping right and left, up and down, and every man gazing along the path it illuminates for some glimpse of the little enemy. A swing of the beam southward brings out the grim walls and numerous cannon of Fort Adams, and shows every yacht and fishing boat at anchor inside of Brenton’s Point. The main channel, the Dumplings, the far-away shore of Conanicut Island, Rose Island and its ruined old forti- fications, the upper bay dotted with lazy sloops and schooners slipping down with the tide, are revealed one after another, as the powerful rays are turned slowly westward and northward until at last they are shin- ing again on the Naval War College and Training School, and on the clustered ship- ping and wharves of the picturesque old town. Se Tillman Taught by a President's Sin- ter. From the Springfield Republican. Senator Tillmen was at one time taught by Miss Annie Arthur, a sister of President Arthur, who was governess in the Tillman family when the Senator was a boy. Dur- ing President Arthur's administration this lady revisited the scenes of her early days in South Carolina and spent several weeks with the family of then “Farmer” Tillman, at the old estate. This estate Hes at about thirteen miles distance from Augusta, Ga. Here Senator Tillman was born fifty years ago, and has lived ever since, excepting two years spent in Florida. His father was a slave and land owner, and the family lived in the lap of luxury before the war. After the war, however, the family, like the majority of others in the south, became “land poor.” The great-great-grandfather of the Sen- lor came from near Strasburg, Germany, and so was German. The name was then spelled “Tilghman.” There ts furniture still in the family that came from Stras- burg. The Senator's great-grandmother was Irish. He has also Huguenot blood in his veins. +o —____ The Vatican’s Thousands of Rooms. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Vatican is the name applied to a large group, or rather several groups, of buildings that have been added to an original structure, which was probably only a bishop's residence, adjoining the Cathedral of St. Peter. There was a pal- ace on the site of the present Vatican as early as the time of Charlemagne, and every pope since Innocent III, 1198-1216, has added to the structure which he then erected, tearing down all the older build- ings to make room for it. Antiquarians assert that very little of the present pal- ace is older than 1447. As it is at present, though possessing no claims to architectural unity or beauty, it is one of the most commodious, as well as elegant, palaces in the world, covering an area of 1,151x767 feet, and having 200 staircases, twenty courts and 4,422 rooms. The picture gallery, though not is said to be the most valuable in the world, and the same statements are true with regard to the library, the collection of manuscripts especially being unequaled elsewhere, while the museums are filled ee monuments and inscriptions relating ancient Rome and the vicinity. THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. IN THE CHURCHES Rev. Dr. G. V. beech has received a let- ter from his son, Hedding B.

One evening recently they gave a social, which was well attended. - The presiding elder, Dr. Luther 8. Wil- son, and family are row out at Washington Grove. Dr. Wilson comes in the city quite frequently, but it is not expected that his family will return before the Ist of Sep- tember. Rey. B. A. Johnson, who was until re- cently pastor of the Lincoln Memorial Con- gregational Church, is now engaged in work under the American Missionary As- sociation among the Indians of New York state. His place at the Linooln Memorial Church has been taken by Rev. Mr. Nixon, who recently graduated and was ordained in this city.

Mr. Bryant writes that he is much improved in health, and that he expects to be fully'able to take charge of the church when it is reopened. The executive committee of the Southern Methodist Brotherhood met Tuesday even- ing of this week at-Mount Vernon Church. It was decided at this meeting that in view of the large numbers. of the brotherhood being out of the city it wes inexpedient to held the annual meeting now. They de- cided to adjourn to the third Tuesday in September, at which time the first annual meeting will be held at Mount . Vernon Church. A program'is to be prepared for ‘this meeting, and among those who will deliver addresses are the Revs. W. S. Ham- tond, I. W. Canter, D.D., W. F. Locke and John O. Knott.

Bischoff of St. Augus- tine’s Church have been spending their vacation at Old Point Comfort. ‘Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week a lawn fete was held in the grounds surrounding the United Brethren Me- morial Church, at the corner of R and North Capitol streets. The entertainment was given under the auspices of the pri- mary department of the Sunday school and the Junior Christian Endeavor Society of the church, and was for the benefit of the chair fund of the congregation. New chairs were recently placed in the audi- terium of the church. Rev. Dr..and Mrs. J. G.-Butler left the early part of this week for Mountain Lake Park, to be gone three weeks. The pul- pit at the Lutheran Memorial Church is to be filled by the Rev. Mr. Maurer, pastor of a Lutheran church in western Mary- land. Dr. Domer of St. Paul's Church and his family spent this week at Luray, va. The pastor and officers of Trinity Metho- dist Church will meet in a few days to make arrangements for laying the corner stone of the new edifice, which is now in course of erection. This being the oldest Methodist church in Washington the cere- mony fs expected to be an elaborate one, and therefore it will probably not take place until the middle of September, when nearly everybody has returned from their vacations. The foundations of the new church have been excavated and the con- tractor is now engaged in laying the foundation stone work. ‘The death of the sister of Rev. James F. Mackin, pastor of St. Paul's Catholic Church, happened a few days ago at Keo- kuk, Iowa. Father Mackin had been on a visit to his sister only a few weeks since. Rev. Father Foley, the assistant pastor of the church, returned from his vacation in New England and took charge of the services of the church during the absence of the pastor. Rev. Harry Johnson, son of Mr. Jerome F. Jchnson of this city, and who was or- dained some weeks ago at the First Con- gregational Chirch, is now supplying a church of that denomination at Bethany, Conn. Rev. M. Ross Fishburn of the Mount Pleasant Congregational Church will leave on the 17th of this: month for his annual vacation, to be gon? about four or five weeks. He will beJaccompanied by Mrs. Fishburn, and theyi after a short visit to the mountains -of Pennsylvania, will ride from Chambersburg to Harrisburg on their wheels. Wile at Harrisburg they will visit their oid tomes. Rev. A. Homrighaus of Zion Lutheran Church is now at Grantsville, Garrett county, Md., for the month of August. Rev. Carl Jaeckel, chaplain of the Luth- eran Home for the:*Aged of this city, is preaching at Zion Church. The Young Men's Bociety of Mount Ver- non Church gave 2n excursion to Marshall Hall last Thursday evening. Rev. C. W. Baidwin, pastor of Wesley Methodist Church, lett today for Moun- tain Lake Park, to ‘be gone the rest of this month. Services at Wesley Church will, however, befkept up without any in- termissicn. Nearly all of th: pastors of. the local Presbyterian churches, together with their families, are out of town. Dr. Hamlin is on the seasoast near New York city, and every other Sunday or so supplies a pulpit in that city. Dr. C. B. Ramsdell of the North Presbyterian Church is at Harper's Ferry; the pastor of the Fourth Church, Rev. Joseph T. Kelly, lcft Monday, ac- companied by his son, for Portland, Me., where the rest of his family have been for some weeks. His b, doaciad tomorrow will be supplied,and for the rest ‘of the month of August as well, by Rev. Wiliam Bryant, pastor of .@ church at Mount Clemens, Mich., an@ editor of the Michigan Presby- terlan. Last Tuesday the~ Juntor Society of the Mount Pleasant- Christian Badeavor of picnic Maershall Wal the any being to Pleasant one for such irs there was 2 gecd attendance. The superintendent of the society is Mrs. M. Ross Fishburn. Rev. Stanley Billheimer of the West Washington Lutheran Church is spending his vacation with his father, Rev. Dr. Bill- helmer of Gettysburg, Pa. "He will, how- ever, return to this city so as to conduct services at his church in the middle of this month, but will then leave for Gettys- burg again. The Lutheran Christian Endeavor So- ciety of this city held a joint ex-ursion to Marshall Hall and Indian Head this week. A lawn party for the benefit of Holy Name Catholic Church opened on the grounds adjoining the church last Tues- day week, and will clowe today. Rev. Fa- ther Kervick, the pastor, cont2mplates the erection of a new church. Among the Washington pastors who took Dart in the services at the Wesley Grove camp meeting just ended were Revs. I. W. Canter, Rumsey Smithson, W. F. Locke and J. O. Knott. Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock Rev. H. Bentrup will deliver a sermon in the sign language at the Lutheran Trinity Chure corner 4th and E streets northwest. Rev. Bentrup is a native of Baltimore and has made a special study of the deaf mute lan- guage. He was appointed by the Missouri synod as missionary to take charge of this branch at Louisville, Ky., where he will be stationed. From there he will do mission- ary work, particularly in the west. aS PIERPONT MORGAN OFF DUTY. Hours Spent on His Magnificent Yacht —An Unaocial Spirit. From the New York World. The ferry boat Magenta, that leaves Bay Ridge at 9 o'clock every morning, brings to this city a man who is supposed to domi nate the money power in Wall str-et; the man above all others against whom the people who are shouting for cheaper money are particularly incensed. J. Pierpont Morgan sleeps on his mag- nificent yacht Corsair inside the Narrows. He leaves his office between 4 and 5 in the afternoon, walks to South ferry and picks out a comfortable place on the main deck of the Bay Ridge boat. He never climbs the stairs to the cabin, and he always tries to avoid a crowded boat. Going home in the evening he reads a novel. Coming to town in the morning he reads the newspa- pers. a A naphtha launch awaits him at the ferry house. From the moment he sets foot on it Mr. Morgan is carefully attended to and his wants eagerly anticipated. He has a well- trained corps of English servants. Dinner {s ready for him when he arrives on board the yacht, and, as a general thing, the Cor- sair cruises in the lower bay or steams up the Hudson while he is eating it. While Mr. Morgan is on the yacht the so- licitude of the entire crew is for his com- fort. As a rule the yacht is at anchor by 10 o'clock at night, and the deckhands then wear cloth slippers so as not to disturb the slumbers of the great financier when he goes to bed. He is an early riser. Break- fast is ready at 7 o’clock,and the New York morning newspapers are put near Mr. Mor- gan's favorite chair on deck. He lights a Perfecto cigar, carefully adjusts it into a papier mache mouthpiece and hurries through the papers while the launch is put in readiness to take him to the ferry boat. He carries a red pencil in his pocket, and if there is any article that he wants to read at his lelsure he marks it and stuffs the paper into the pocket of his skeleton coat. Then he opens his letters and dictates for a few minutes to his secretary, who has come from the city on an early boat. When Mr. Morgan steps into the launch to begin his journey to the city he is the personification of a well-groomed man. The square-topped derby hat that he wears in all seasons is as neat as when it left the finish- er. His soft leather shoes are so free from Gust that the persistent bootblacks on the boat fail to shout “shine” when he comes down the gangplank. One of the deck- hands on the Magenta, Jack by name, knows Mr. Morgan’s wants and is ready for him. He places two camp stools by the forward stanchion on the main deck. Mr. Morgan ackrowledges this service with a nod. He puts his papers and letters on one stool and stretches his legs over them. “Fine morning, sir,” observes Jack. Mr. Morgan nods acquiescence, and leans against the stanchion to read. ‘The trains from Manhattan Beach, Brighton Beach and Bath Beach come in loaded with brok- ers who know Mr. Morgan very well by sight, but he never lifts his eyes from his paper. Some people who have tried to en- sage him in conversation haye given it up as a hopeless job. One morning a lot of larkish young men placed their camp stools around the stanchion that Mr. Morgan had appropriated, and, affecting ignorance of his presence, indulged in remarks of a more or less personal nature. Mr. Morgan looked up and caught sight of Jack leaning over the rail. He signaled to him and Jack promptly responded. “Move my chairs inside,” said Mr. Morga’ “there is too much wind here.” When the boat reaches South ferry Mr. Morgan makes a bolt for the gate. It is | not his fault if he is not the first man ashore. He wedges his way through the crowd with a persistency and skill that suggests experience on a college foot ball team. If there is plenty of room on a Broadway car he utilizes it to reach Wall street. If the car is crowded he calls a hansom. By 9:45 he is at his desk, and the luxuries of the Corsair are forgotten until he goes to the ferry boat at night. A friend once asked Mr. Morgan: “Why don’t you come up to the city in your launch?” “Presumably for the same reason that you do not swim up,” was the reply. “I do not wish to do so.” + e+ ---—- ANECDOTE OF THOMAS COUTTS. The Guinea That Was Worn on a Duchess’ Bracelet. From Hcusehold Words. ‘A long while ago, when Bristol was grow- ing rich with the profits of the West In- dia trade, of which it had almost a monop- oly, a stranger took lodging there, toward the close of the year, and used to visit the coffee room of that famous old inn, “The Bush.” He would arrive about noon every day and calling for a 6-penny glass of brandy and water sit over it until he had carefully gone through the London paper of the preceding evening. The landlord of “The Bush,” seeing how anxious he was to read the London paper, made it understood that while he had it “in hand” no one else was to expect it. Rather “seedy” garments, a lean body, a confirmed stoop and a limited expenditure of a daily G-pence, with nothing for the waiter, clearly showed the newspaper reader to be a “poor gentleman,” and by that title he was soon distinguished. On Christmas eve honest John Weeks, the landlord, anxious that the decayed’ gen- tleman should have one good meal at ieast in “The Bush,” delicately intimated to him UNIVERSITY NOTES. The Catholic University year book for 1896-'97, which has recently been issued, announces some important changes and contains a genera! statement of the objeccs and achievements of the university at large. A lst is given of the Instructors and stu- dents of the last scholastic term, and a general outline of the work accomplished during the seventh term of the divinity and the first term of its philosophical de- partments. The faculty is numbered at thirty-one and the students at one hun- dred and ten, fifty-five in theology, twenty- two in philosophy, twenty-five In social eciensxe and eight in the school of tech- nology. The courses offered in the several de- partments do not differ from those sched- uled last year, with the exception of the department of technology, which has been raised into a separate scientific school, dis- tinct from McMahon Hall, and will hence- forth be known as the Institute of Tech- nology. Its board of instructors consists of Prof. Daniel W. Shea, Ph. D., director; Prof. George M. Searle, Ph. D., and Prof. John J. Griffin; associate professors, Prof. Rene de Taussure, Ph. D., Prof. Frank K. Camercn, Ph. D., Prof. Albert F. Zahm, A. M., M. E., and Prof. Josiah Pierce; A- B., AJM. he degrees at present offered are civil ergineer, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, master in civil engineering, master in electrical engineerng and master in me- chanical engineering. In the school of social sciences, Rev. Thomas J. Shahan, D.D., J. U. L., profes- sor of early church histcry in the theolog- ical department, will give a course of lec- tures on Roman law, aud Prof. Frederick W. Pelly, B. A., will be instructor in mod- ern languages. and political history. The theological department, heretofore known as the Divinity Hall, appears for the first time in the catalogue as Caldwell Hall. As the philosophy building bears the name of tts donor, the directors have con- cluded to recognize Miss Caldwell’s gen- erosity in a similar manner. ‘The faculty of this depertment shows sev- eral innovations from the usual run of an- rouncements. The reverend rector, Bishop Keane. will lecture on homiletics. The Right Rev. Thoras O'Gorman, bish- op of Sioux Falls, receives a flattering rec- ognition of his brilliant services at the uni- versity 28 professor of modern church his- tory by being made professor emeritus of that chair. Bishop O'Gorman is the first of this faculty to receive this honor, though two of its professors have been raised to the purple. The active work of this chair, however, will be carried on by Rey. Lucian M. Johnston, S. T, L., son of the distin- guished writer, Richard Malcolm Johnston. Father Johnston is at present at the uni- versity preparing for his new position, the duties of which wiil begin at the opening of the new scholastic year. The Very Rev. Joseph Schroeder, Ph.D., D.D., professor of dogmatic theology, will, besides his ordinary work, continue his active management in the organization of German citizens who are raising funds for the establishment of the chair of ger- manics at the university. Rev. Alexis Orban, D.D., who has been litrarian and spiritual director at the unt- versity ever since the institution opened, sailed August 1 for France, and will hence- forth reside in Paris. Father Orban has | greatly endeared himself to ail by his many virtues and gentleness of manner, and his departure is deeply regretted, not only by the university people, but by his host pf friends. As yet. fi fs not definitely known who will succeed Father Orban, though it will be a Sulpician father. His’ successor, however, will not hold the positions of spiritual director and librarian, but only the latter. Columbian University. * The summer school of Columbian Uni- versity closed its most successful career last Monday evening. The number of stu- dents In attendance was more than double that of last year, and a pleasant feature was that about one-third of the number were ladies. Though there were courses offered botany, civil engineering, continental his- tory, economics, English, fine arts, Ger- man, Greek, Latin, law, mechanical draw- ing, mechanical engineering, ilosophy photography, Russian, Roman lJan4uages and zoology, the most popular courses seemed to be chemistry, physics and mathe- matics, and all who entered did earnest and faithful work, some preparing to en- ter the university in the fall and others perfecting themselves as teachers. Many of Columbian’s professors are spending the heated term abroad; among others is Dr, Gore, who is now at Buda Pesth. Dr. Lodge sailed for Europe the latter part of July. While there the doctor will consult with some of the highest au- thorities on international law, which chair he will occupy in the university on the opening of the new scholastic year. Prof. H. Wiley left August 1 for Paris. | He has been appointed to represent Colum- bian at the second annual convention of the Society of Applied Chemistry. Prof. George M. Smith, who taught En- eligh last year in the university, has re- ceived an appointment in the faculty of William Penn College of Pennsylvania. Prof. Smith will have charge of the depart- ment of letters in this institution, the du- ues of which position he will assume in September at the opening of the college. > “Whoa!” From Notes and Querics. The word whoa!—used in calling on a horse to stop—is merely a variant and em- phatic form of ho! formerly used in the same sense. This is easily proved, for Chaucer has ho in the sense of “halt” (Cant. Tales,” B 3957.) When King Ed- ward IV had to use this exclamation he actually turned it into whoo! “Then the kyng, perceyving the cruell assaile (onset), cast his staff, and with high voice cried whoo!” (“Excerpta Historica,” p. 221.) Which stopped the tournament; and no wonder, in —$—coo—__ jot So Monotono: From Tc xas Siftings. “Your life must be very monotonous, said Gus De Smith, looking in the window of the Austin post office at the clerk stamping letters. “What makes you think so?” “It would drive me crazy to be everlast- ingly pounding letters with a hand stam; ate the seme thing over and over every lay.” “Oh, no, it’s not,” replied the clerk. “Yesterday I was stamping 27 on the let- ters, today it’s 28, and tomorrow I'll be stamping the 20th of the month. So you see it's not so monotonous after ail.” that on -the following day he kept open table, to which he would be welcome free of cost. Punctually at 1 o'clock next day the stranger appeared at “The Bush” in his usual seedy attire. He partook of the good dinner with the apparent relish of a man to whom such a feast Is a novelty and did due justice to the “stunning ale” for which far and near “The Bush” was famous. The dinner was concluded. The decayed gentleman remained the last and read the London paper in the kitchen. When he prepared to leave the landlord respectfully helped him to put on his over- coat and at the same time slipped a guinea into his hand. The poor gentleman pock- eted the coin with a smile and a sigh. He came no more to “The Bush.” But shcrtly after “The Bush” itself was adver- tleed for sale, with all its valuable good will and appurtenances, and poor Weeks was trembling at the thought of heing turned out by the new owner, when he re- ceived a missive from Coutts & Co., the London bankers, to the effect that if he wished to acquire the house he occupied he might draw upon them for the purchase money. Hastening to London to thank his benefactors and convince himself of the genuineness of the offer, he was in- troduced to Mr. Thomas Coutts, the head of the great banking firm, who proved to be no other than the “poor gentleman.” “The Bush guinea,” it is said, was after- ward worn, mounted in a bracelet, by the Duchess of St. Albans, the widow of Mr. Coutts. ————_-+e-______ A Compliment Indeed.
