FRIENDLY Two Churches Desire Mr. as a Parishioner, A friendly rivalry has, it is understood, been developed between the authorities of Foundry and Metropolitan M. E. churches of this city for the honor of having Major McKinley and the members of his family as parishioners after the inauguration of the new President on March 4 next, and each has sent Mr. McKinley an invitation to accept the use of a pew during his term of office. Each of the churches has had during its history a President among its members. President Grant for eight years attend: Metropolitan, and the pew he and his family occupied siill has upon it a silver plate, on which are inscribed the words: “The President.” Since President Grant went out of office the pew has been rented to other persons, but only tor a year at a time, it being understood that awhile if the President or any of the members of his family came to the church they were privileged to room therein. The pew occupied by President Hayes and family in Foundry Chureh js inscribed similarly to that in Metropolitan, and it is leased under similar cond It wae the custom of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes to walk to the church whenever they wished to at- tend divine seryice there. Neither church expects to hear from Mr. McKinley in reference to the matter prev- iovs to his coming to Washington to live. —— Washingion City Free Library. The extraordinary circulation of books by the Washington city free library for Oc- tcber, amounting, in round numbers, to 11,- 72, or an average of 436 per day, em- phasizes the fact that no municipal educa- tional institution is more popular or more needed. Two hundred aud forty-cight vol- umes were added to the library during the month, maki the number now available for issue 7,63 The librarian, Miss Gilkey, reports that the registered borrowers now aggregate 5,550, an increase of 554 over those for the previous month.
