Beach of this city was the first speaker, and his address was re- splendent with logical arguments favoring the gold standard. Mr. Harry E. Davis of Washington was the second speaker*of the evening, and his opening remarks caused frequent interrup- uons. There was so much fuss at one time hat it became necessary to call in the po- lice to eject some of the disturbing element from the hall. a yor Thompson got up in the hall and said that order should be had if it took the whole of the police force. ‘The gentle- men had rented the Opera House and they were entitled to protection.

Bishop Satterlee Has Formally Chosen St. Mark's Parish. At the morning service at St. Mark's P. E. Church yesterday the formal announce- ment was made that Bishop Satterlee had selected that church as the pro-cathedral of the diocese of Washington pending the erection of the proposed Episcopal ca- thedral. The fact that his choice had fallen upon the Capitol Hill parish did not come at all as a surprise, for it had been known for some time past that the bishop’s mind was made up. The announcement was made in the form of a statement, read by Rev. H. Allen Griffith of All Souls’ pari8h, Chevy Chase, who has been in charge of St. Mark’s since the retirement of Rev. Dr. Graham. The statement was signed by the pelos of the vestry, and was as fol- lows: “Right Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee has chosen and accepted St. Mark’s Church as the pro-cathedral of the diocese of Washington from and after the first.Sun- day in Advent, being the 29th of November The vestry has elected the Rev. Will- jam L. Devries of Alberton, Howard coun- ty, Md., to be rector of St. Mark’s, and he ‘has accepted and will assume his duties on the first Sunday in Advent.” The bishop's selection of Rev. Mr. Devries has been confirmed by the vestry, but un he assumes active charge of the Rev. Mr. Griffith will continue to di the duties of the office. Bishop Satterlee’s selection has given gen- uine tisfaction to the members of St. Mark's Church, dnd the opinion prevails that under the new arrangement the par- ish will enter into an era of prosperity, the like of which it has not known of recent years. Rev. Mr. Devries is a young man, who has not yet had charge of an !mport- ant city parish, but his work is well known to churchmen, and he enjoys a high repu- tation. It is more than Iikely that he will be a popular acquisition to the diocese. He is about twenty-seven years old, and un- married. He is a native of Baltimore, his father being a well-to-do merchant of that city. Mr. Devries was educated at Johns Hopkins, and also graduated from tie General” Theological Seminary at New York. He was ordained deacon at Paul's, Baltimore, in 1894, and in the spring of 1805 ordained minister by Bishop Paret at Christ Church, Georgetown. Shortly after his accession to the deaconate he was given a mission at Alberton among the factory people there. > ADDITIONAL ELDERS. Dr. Talmage Wishes Them Appointed in First Presbyterian Church. At the regular’ Thursday evening meet- ing last week at the First Presbyterian Church Rey. Dr. Talmadge, the co-pastor, ry stly of the need of addf- ticnal elders In the church. Its work, he said, was seriously interfered with in this way, and he regarded the lack of suffi- cient elders as an obstacle as blg as Mt. Blanc, yet onc that must be surmounted. He said that he had talked to a number ef members who were well qualified to accept such a position, but they hesitated to do so, giving as a reason that they did not feel competent. Dr. Talmage referred to the recent loss of two of the elders, death hav- ing taken one, while the other had moved out of the city. These places, he thought, should be filled immediately and eight ad. ditional elders also quickly selected, as he felt the church, under the present arrange- ment, was losing valuable time. In conclusion, he said that until he had the names of ten men handed to him who were willing to become elders he would he in despair. A meeting to be held at his home this evening fur men was announced. At this meeting plans will be discussed and an effort made to remedy matte = YOUTHFUL CRIMINAL, Willie Carter Young in Years, but Old in Crime. Willle Carter, the little white boy who re- cently stole about $115 from Anna E. Cooley, today pleaded guilty in Criminal Court No. 1 to the charge, and Judge Cole sentenced him to the reform school during minority, or unless sooner discharged, ac- cording to law. The judge directed that the boy shall not be released in any event, however, until after the matter is present- ed to the court or to the District attorney. The youngster, although but thirteen years of age, is well known in police circles as a precocious thief. Indeed, District At- torney Birney explained to Judge Cole that but a short time ago he nolle prossed a similar charge against him out of sym- pathy for the boy. But a short time later, said Mr. Birney, the boy entered Mrs. Cooley’s house and stole the moncy in a way which would have reflected great pro- fessional credit on an expert crook. boy,” stated the district attorney, expert thief and crock, and I think the only way in which he can be reformed is by placing him in the reform school.” Judge Cole so sentenced the bey, and the little fellow swaggered down to the prison- er’s pen below not only defiantly, but also with the air of the utmost self-satisfaction. sae The Star's Election Returns.

He was a resident of this city for over fifty years. Mr. Schwartz was born in Hesse-Castle, Germany, May 17, 1817; emigrated to the United States in 1835, going directly to the city of Boston, thence to New York, where he remained for twelve years, coming to this city in 1844, engaging in the livery business on G street near 17th northwest, and con- ducting the first ladies’ riding academy in this city, which he continued until the breaking out of the war, when he rejoined the President Mounted Guards, which he helped to organize in protecting the Dis- trict; after which he became a successful business man, and had the confidence of all who knew him. Mr. Schwartz was well and favorably known to a large circle of friends, and was genial as a companion. He was a man of culture and reading. His home for years was the center of many friends, who al- ways loved to come there. Good humor, wit and repartee were his delight, and in his quiet, inoffensive way he did many favors. He was a member of the Oldest Inhabitants and Lincoln Post, No. 8. Mr. Schwartz leaves a widow, two sons, Edw. P. Schwartz and Andrew Schwartz, now in the real estate business, and one daugh- ter, Miss Hannah Schwartz. As before stated, his funeral took place last Satur- day morning, and he was laid to rest in Mount Olivet cemetery. The pallbearers were selected from Lincoln Post and the Oldest Inhabitants. ——— A Mountain of Velati’s Chocolates. If all he’s made in ihe peat score of years were heaped together.

DEPENDS ON€LECTION Boaboard Deal Waiting tf Seo/Wbo: Will Be President. 3: ‘Will Go Through M MeKinley is Chosen—Exceedingty Important Railroad Tramaction. The completion of the Geal thy witich the control of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Company is to pass into the hands of Mr. Thomas F. Ryan of New York and his associates is said to be more dependent on the outcome of the presidential election than any other cause, according to the in- formation given to a Star reporter yes- terday in Philadelphia by a banker who is supposed t> possess inside information in reference to the much-talked-of transac- tion. | If Bryan is elected,” said this banker, “you may safely, in my judgment, con- clude that the deal will not go through. If McKinley is the choice of the people of the United States Tuesday business will pick up to such an extent that it will be no trouble whatever to carry the proposed new corporation along, but if the result is otherwise it will be impossible to do so, for the reason that business people generally anticipate a panic in the near future the lke of which has hardly ever been experi- enced in this country.” Persons who are directly associated with Mr. Ryan and likewise some of those gen- tlemen in Baltimore who know or are sup- posed to know what is going on do not, however, seem to think that the outcome of the election has anything whatever to do with the deal for the Seaboard, and the following statement, which comes from one who fs closely indentified with Mr. Ryan in various business transactions, may be ac- cepted as the view entertained of the mat- ter by those nearest to the expected new owners of the property: “Mr Ryan has acquired the control of the Seaboard and Roanoke system, generally known as the Seaboard Air Line, for him- self, and in the purchase of the property he stands alone. Neither the Southern railway nor any other road is interested in the transaction, and Mr. Ryan intends to keep and operate the property as an in- vestment.- His policy will be one of devel- opment, and, while he is for peace, and the Seaboard will be managed on such a policy, he is unqualifiedly for business, and the traffic capabilities of the road will be de- veloped to their fullest extent. “The Seaboard Air Line will work in har- mony with and as a part of the Port Royal and Augusta and Port Royal and Western Carolina roads. The terminal facilities of the latter at Port Royal, S. C., will be de- veloped, and the Seaboard will form a formidable route from the north and east to Atlanta. “When the Seaboard passes into Mr. Ry- an's conuol he will under any condition personally control two-thirds of the stock, and he will devote his personal attention to its management and development. Importance of the Arrangement. “The acquisition of the Seaboard is re- garded in railroad circles generally, so far as conversation has been had on the sub- Ject, as*the most important ruitruad dea? that has been made since Jay Gould se- cured the Missouri Pacific, and then only about 300 intles long. The Seaboard holds a peculiarly strong strategic position, and is capable of extreme development. “Included in the transfer of ‘the controll- ing stock are virtually 1400 miles of rail- road and 675 miles of steam lines. The Property is bonded for-omly $16,000 a «mite, while the Georgia railroad, which is about 300 miles long,- is jointly leased ‘by’ the Louisville and ashville. and Central of Georgia, at a rental of $600,000 a year, which is more than the Seaboard’s annual fixed charges. “The bonded indebtedness of the Port Royal and Augusta road-4s $3,000) a mile, and the desirability of the Seaboard as a trunk line from Haltimore to Atlanta in connection with the Port Royal roads ‘13 regarded as most powerful. “The Scaboard also hasan interest in the Old Dominion Steamship Line from Nor- folk, Va., to w York, which enables it to have a New York outlet. In the south and southwest the Seaboard ts peculiarly strong, and tne new owners of the prop- erty will develop the local business, partic- ulerly on that portion between Monroe which is located on the line between the states of North Carolina and South Caro- lina and the city of Atlanta. “The control of. the Old Bay Line of steamers is also included in the deal, and this insures the continuance of the two lines of steamers on Chesapeake bay. It is understood that Mr. Ryan will own three-fourths of the stock of the Old Bay Line, and that it will be operated in con- junction with the Seaboard.” o Hitch in the Deal. Referring to the alleged hitch in the mat- ter of the closing of the deal, the same authority said: “The control of about $,300 shares of the Seaboard and Roanoke stock: will be transferred to Mr. Ryan on or be- fore November 15 rext. A contract now binds the pool headed by Mr. Louts “Mc- Lane of Baltimore, to deliverethe stock at 125, and there has never been any question of the money. “Mr. Ryan has until November 15 to take the stock, and so far as the money is con- cerned, it was provided for over a week ago. When the contract was made by Mr. Ryan with the pool, forty days were al- lowed to close the deal, and this expires on November 15. “The question of money has never once entered into the affair, and the reports cir- culated of alleged hitches and the like are absolutely groundless. The fact of the matter is that they are the results of thé eftorts of other parties who want the Se: beard Air Line and are doing all in their power to break the contract which the Mc. Lane pool has consummaged with M. Ryan. Despite this, however, the control of the Seaboard will pass into Mr. Ryan's hands on or before November 15.” = In the Churches. Three hundred and seventy-nine years ago Martin Luther nailed his famous nine- ty-five theses to the church door at Witten- burg, an act that is generally regarded as the beginning of the reformation of the sixteenth century. The anniversary was observed in all the Lutheran churches of this clty yesterday, the discourses being upon the life and work of the reformer. While the Lutheran congregations were commemorating reformation day, in the Catholic and Episcopalian churches the feast of all saints was observed with appropriate cerem Special music, beautiful floral decorations and sermons fitting to the oc- casion marked the observance of the day. Rev. Dr. Thomas Chalmers Easton of the Eastern Presbyterian Church began a series of five lectures on the life of Joseph last night. The sermons are intended espe- cially for young men, and:a large propor- tion of last night’s audience was made up of the youth of the congregation, who liten- ed attentively to the diseourse “Planting Seed for Future Greatness.” * The new order of public worship pre- scribed by the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church la’t May was followed for the first time in this city by the Metropolitan M. E. Church yesterday. McKendree Sunday scheol held its au- tumnal reunion yesterday gnorning. Super- intendent R. V. Belt was im clmrge of the program. Mr. Zepheniah Jones, the only living original member of . McKendree Church, made an address. A plea for temperance*was made last evening by Mrs. MargaretiB. Platt, presi- dent of the District W. C.

The pretty hall was packed with enthusiastic members of the organization and the event was a most enjoyable one in every respect. The singing of the Saen- gerbund, under the direction of Mr. Henry Xander, was a feature of course, while the solos rendered by the different contrib- were utors to the evening's entertainment all up to a high standard. The ch dered Breu's “Fruhling am Rhein. “Wie die Widde Ros’ in Wald” and a very pretty pastoral number ag an encore to thi last.

Dr. Duncan preached in the Eckington church the first two Sundays following its organization, which occurred on September 20, 1896, being the first minister requested to fii its pulpit.

McKinley Probably the Last of the Old Soldier Candidates—What a Veteran Said. Among the recent callers at the republi- can congressional committee headquarters Was a veteran of the late war, who, in mak- ing his application for a transportation cer- tificate to obtain the reduced rates to voters, gave the following statement of his reasons for going home to vote for Mc- Kinley: “Do you know what this presidential elec- tion means to the soldiers of the war of the rebellion? It is their last opportunity to vote for one of their comrades to be the supreme ruler of the land they fought to save. In all human probability after the incumbency of Major McKinley no other candidate for this high office will be taken from the members of the Grand Army. They will be too far along in years for the severe and exacting strain required in that position. Honors and high offices in many instances will continue to be given them while they live, but this is the last time they may reasonably expect to elect a comrade to the chief magistracy. “My first vote, like many other soldier » Was given while in the field, for Lin- Since then, a generation ago, the re- publican Presidents have come from the Grand Army.

It is now on ice, and will probably find its way to a museam of natural history. The fish is a perfect jewel in appearance, sergeous as a butterfly. No fisherman here has ever seen a specimen bef it was taken on a-haliput line in about eighty fathoms of water. It will weigh about twenty-five pounds, and in general shape is like an cvergrown perch. The budy color is a sky blue, and over the entire sur- face are round spots about as large as a silver half-dime, and these spots w: when it was first brought to the surface, a pure gold. The fins and tail, mouth and yes, are a bright cardinal, tinged in gold. Down the sides are irregulfir lines of gold. The tail is like the swallow-tail of a fish hawk, and the fins are six to eight inches long, and average about two inches broad. The eyes are broad, mouth something like that of a codfish in appearance, and there is a well-formed tongue. rem Lurks in the blood of almost every one, and it is in many cases inherited.
