A few days ago an unpretentious-looking vehicle was standing near the curb .on Pennsylvania avenue near the 7th street transfer station. In the wagon was a large pine box, and upon this a smaller box of cherry. This smaller box proved, upon in- quiry, to be a camera for making the long bands of pictures used in the phantescope, cinemetograph, vitascope and all the vari- ous members of the constantly-growing family of “scopes” and “graphs,” devices for exhibiting a series of rapidly-shifting photographic transparencies, arranged suc- cessively, so that one blends into the other uninterruptedly, giving the impression of objects In motion. A photograph of the moving crowds at the transfer was being made by Mr. C. Francis Jenkins, who told a Star reporter about the methods and mechanism employed in the process. In company with Mr. Jenkins, who car- ried the box in his hand, the reporter visit- ed the laboratory, which was a dark room, where the strip containing the picture: was removed from the box. And dark the reom is, too, after being out in the bright sunlight, the only light visible being a red globe swinging from the ceiling. Upon entering the room a tick, tick, tick, not unlike the sound of a clock, is noticed, and as soon as the eyes become accus- tomed to the semi-darkness of the subdued illumination, it is found to proceed from the far side of the room, where a little machine is busy stamping out the tiny square holes along the edge of the tape, or “ilm,” as It is called. These little hojes are punched along the edges of the film’ to in- Sure perfect register, as was explained. ‘The punching must be done with extreme accuracy, but so skillfully is the mechan- | ism designed and so delicately made that it can be trusted to care for itself, running all night, when occasion requires, with- out attention, punching out {ts myriads of little squares of celluloid, which for all the werld resemble in miniature the piles of sawdust in the milis. The pictures are %x% inches, and are laid on, in the camera, at the rate of 2,000 a minute and up. After the photographs are made the film is developed and dried, and automati- cally fed, in contact with a like strip of sensitive film, bencath a powerful incan- descent lamp and “positives” printed there- from, very mvch as a cylinder press prints the long strips of newspaper. This exposed film is taken into another dark room, where it is spirally laid onto a large cylinder rotated by an electric motor. This cylinder is supported in half moon shaped bearings at the ends of a large trough resembling the great wooden sugar troughs, in which our grandfathers used to catch the sap of the maples. The “developer,” a dark-colored fiuid, is poured on from a pitcher, the film con- tinuing to rotate therein ‘until fully de- veloped. The end of the fiim first laid on is then fastened to another cylinder, which quickly rolls it off the first and passes it through another bath until it 1s “fixed,” whatever that may mean. Then the film is given a thorough washing under a long tube pierced with dozens of little holes from which the water is projected in tiny streams against the passing film. ‘The washing is continued for half an hour, when the film is reeled off onto a drying rack and kung up, where, under the force- ful action of electric fans, it is soon con- verted into a hard-surfaced, flexible band, fifty feet long, containing 800 pic- tures, but which is rolled up until it is ecarcely larger than a double spool of cot- ton. Aside from the extreme simplicity of the apparatus, its automatic character is a most fascirating feature. The chemist in charge stated that he would rather de- velop 100 feet of this film than two dry plates. “And then,” sald he, “you take pardonable pride in knowing that your pic- tures are going all over the world.” An American who is so unfortunate as to be elsewhere than in Washington, either at home or abroad, on the 4th of next March, may, shortly thereafter, step into a con- venient theater and see the triumphant march of the inaugural party along the avenue, with the Capitol of his country in the distance. And yet, for all this, the art of photography is still said to be in its babykood.” AN HISTORIC CHURCH One Hundredth Anniversary of St. John’s Church, West Washington. — APPROPRIATE SERVICES ON SUNDAY Interesting Sketch of the History of This Parish. RECORD OF YEARS There will be celebrated Sunday the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of St. John’s Ep‘scopal Church, O street, cor- ner Potomac avenue, West Washington. ‘The services are to begin at 7:30 a.m., with the holy communion. At the 11 a.m. serv- ice the rector, Rev. Charles E. Buck, D. D., is to preach a historical sermon, which will describe many interesting features of the old-tine days of Georgetown. At 7:30 there is io be the regular evening service, e St. John’s Church, Georgetown. at which there are to be addresses by the Right Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee. D. D., bish- op of Washington, and by the Rev. James A. Regester, S. T. D., a former rector of the church. Dr. Buck, in lookirg up material for his cermon, has found that there are no ac- curate records of the parish prior to the year 1821. From that time on, however, the officers of the church appear to have recerded all the principal events tn the church history. By consulting the old € les of Georgetown, however, and from other sources, a very accurate history has been compiled from the foundation of the church in the latter days of the last century to the present time. The Original Parish. ron All the section of country within the present city limits lying along the Po- tomae river was formed considerably over a hundred years ago into what was then known as Washington parish. The first church to be erected within this Washingiun parish was Christ Church, East Washington, of which Rev. Giibert F. Williams is now the rector. In those days the largest proportion of the popu- lation of tie infant capital of the nation e.ther lived at or near Greenleaf’s Point, now the barracks, or else in Georgetown. Many of those who had their homes in the latter town were Episcopalians, and as they found it inconvenient to go way over to Christ Church on Sundays to service they decided to erect a church in George- town. The first Episcopal clergyman to begin the work was the Rey. Walter D. Addison, who was connected with the family of which the Rev. Dr. Thomas G. Addison, the late rector of Trinity Church, was a member. Mr. Addison began his work in 1794. It has been very dillicult to fix upon the exact period when the actual work in starting a church was commenced. The Federalist of 1796 menticns that a number of churehmen got together and held a meeting at Semmes’ Tavern. At this meeting a subscription list was arranged and passed around among the prospective members of the new church. ‘This was in August of 1796, and this fact that a subscription list was passed around then is corroborated by the church docu- ments. Those who had charge of raising the funds appear to have been quite suc- cessful, and with the money they got to- gether they erected a church which for those days must have been a fine edifice. Original Church Edifice. The church was built in what was then the western suburbs of Georgetown. A Mr. Deakins, whose connection with the church has since been lost sight of, pre- sented the lot. This site was located in Beatty and Hawkins’ addition to George- town, and is the identical ground on which the present edifice stands. Strange as it may seem, there remains a cod deal of the original church building. The old church, it is: conjectured, must have been capable of seating about four hundred people, a large audience for those days. ‘The building was erected on a firm fourdation of stone and was of brick There were two tiers of windows and a gallery rurning around three sides of the interior. Of this original building there still remain the two side walls, a portion of the front and the foundation. The tow- er, however, and a portion of the rear wall and the chancel were added later. Various alterations have been made at various times during the course of the century. ‘The first rector was Rev. John J. Sayres, and he came to the church in 1804, remain- ing until 1808. It took quite a while to complete the church. Although it was started in 1796, it was not fully completed unti? ten years later, in 1806. In 1809 the church was consecrated by Bishop Clagett, first bishop of the diocese of Maryland. Bishop Clagett was consecrated in 1792, and was the first bishop of the American church to be consecrated on American soil. ‘The New Parish. In 1809 Washington parish was divided into two portions, and all that portion ly- ing west of Rock creek was known as St. John’s parish. Mr. Sayres appears to have been successful from the start, and the parish prospered. Here the belles and beaux of the early days ‘were wont to con- gregate on Sundays. Many people in offi- cial life took part in the parish work. When Mr. Sayres died, his body was in- terred under the chancel of the church, as was the custom in those days. Some years afterward it became necessary to remodel the chancel, and his body was disinterred. It was placed in a new casket and buried in the cellar of the church. ‘The records, however, do not disclose the exact location of the grave, but it 1s thought that a close search would discover it. In the auditor- jum there is a tablet erected to his mem- ory, with his name, date of birth and death, &c., inscribed in Latin. Below this inscription there is quite an interesting epitaph, which was written for him by Francis Scott Key, of “Star Spangled Ban- ner” fame. Mr. Key appears to have taken a good deal of jnterest in the church, and Mr. Sayres was his close friend. ‘The Roll of Rectors, The names of the rectors following Sayres are as follows: 1804 to 1808, Rev John J. Sayres; 1809 to 1821, Rey. Walier Dulaney Addison; from 1817 to 1418 the Rev. Rowell Keith was assistant to Dr. Addison. He afterward became the first rector of Christ Church, West Washington, which was carved out of St. John’s Church, From 1821 to 1823, Rev. Stephen H. Tyng; from 1823 to 1827, the Rev. Walter D. Ad- dison; from 1827 to 182), Rev. Mr. James; fxm Isat to 1820, the Rev. Sutherland uglass; from 1838 to 1$4%, Rev. Dr. Mar- bury; from 1841 to 1844, the Rev. Clement M. Butler; from 1844 to 1848, the Rev. Alex- ander Shiras; from 1849 to 1867, the Rev. N. P. Tillinghast; from 1867 to 1869, the Rev. O. Perin Chief; from 1869 to 1875, Rey. A. B. Atkins; from "1876 to 1879, Rev. J. J. Joyce; from 1879 to 1867, the Rev. John S. Lindsay; from J887 to 1s the Rev. James A. Regester, and in 1892 the Rev. Charles E. Buck. In 1831 the church waa abandoned, and the congregation was scattered. | The church edifice was rented as a studio. Dr. Marbury tock charge of the parish in 1838 and built it up. He was succeeded by the Rev. Dr. Clement M, Butler, who was one of the most eminent ministers of any de- nomination in this section of the country. Dr. Butler, while, rector of St. John’s Church, delivered the sermon at the burial of Abel Upsher, the Secretary of State, who met a tragic fate by the bursting of Com- modore Stockton’s two-hundred-ton cannon “Peacemaker” .on board the frigate Prince- ton down the Potomac river. Dr. Butler was also at one time rector of Trinity Church, corner of 3d ‘and C streets, and during this rectorate he preached the burial sermon over the dead body of Daniel Web- ster while it lay in gtate in the rotunda of the Capitol. Dr. Butler was not a man of great education, but he had splendid 1 atu- ral gifts, and made the most of them. Dur- ing his rectorate he compiled the history of St. John’s Church, and this history, which was in the form of a sermon, is now in the possession of Dr. Buck. Improvements to the Edifice. During the rectorate of Rev. Dr. Lindsay, who is now the pastor of one of the leading Boston churches, and was prominently men- tioned as a candidate for the first bishop of Washington, the church was thoroughiy repaired, and in 1875 the rectory was com- pleted. The original lot, which was Jonat- ed to the church by Mr. Deakins, was not large enough for the parish purposes, and So ground has been added to it from time to time. In addition to the rectory, a tower has been built, and also a Sunday school room. The oldest member of the church now liv- ing 1s Mr. John Marbury, jr. Mr. Marbury was elected a vestryman in 1856, and has served continuously since then. He, how- ever, attended the church for quite a while before he was made a vestryman. An- other one of the older members is Mrs. De la Roche, widow of Captain De la Roche of the United States army. The present rector of the church, Rev. Charles E. Buck, is a Baltimorean, and re- ceived his academical education at Char- lotte Hall, in the lower portion of Mary- land. He was educated for the minisiry at the Theological Seminary of Virginia, and his first charge was at Beltsville, Prince George's county, Md., in 1878. His success- ive charges have been Spesutia Church, Perryman’s, Harford county, 1; Easton, Maryland, 1884, and 1892, St. John’s Church. The present officers of the church are as follows: Wardens, Thomas Hyde and W. F. Gibbons; vestrymen, John Marbury, jr, J. G. Waters, Thomas Hyde, David Rittenhouse, Gen, Thomas H. Looker, Dr. F. S. Barbarin, G. L. Nicolson and Dr. H. Suter. etattebebettne totais sb Stntspatnintni Fruit The Filled Free from Rich best in the} |with finest grit and de- world. fruits. and stems. licious.

CHANGES IN BUILDING REGULATIONS Current Gossip About Improvements of Various Kinds. ae BUILDINGS NEW The office of the building inspector Is busy these days. It is something unusual, too, for during the past few years there has generally been a falling off as soon as No- vember came around in the dtmand for per- mits to build. ‘This year, however, it is dif- ferent, and the records of the office are en- couraging. The building inspector at- tributes the marked change to the result of the election. Before the November struggle builders and speculators were silent, and outside of the regular routine of the office little was done. Money was tight, and altogether the outlook was bad. Bui now there has been a change. z Every day prospective builders apply for, information concerning the regulations, and each day shows a large increase in the number of permits issued. This is espe- cially so regarding improvements and re- pairs of houses. Before the election few were issued, but now it is no unusual thing for a score to be issued each day. All thes things, as Building Inspector Brady says, bear evidence of a return to prosperity, and he predicts a big winter business if the weather remains open. Among other matters talked over are sev- eral important improvements, such as apartment houses, hotels and office build- ings. There have been at least a dozen in- quiries concerning the erection of such buildings, but where they are to be located or when they are to be erected remains a secret. This fact is remarked by the in- spector as something most peculiar. But it is a fact, nevertheless, that prospective builders of large structures would rathe not have their plans discussed until after the permit is taken out. Building Regulations Amendment. The feature of the week, aside from the increase in the number of permits for new buildings, and a general improvement in Dusiness, was an amendment of the build- ing regulations. Heretofore when an owner desired to put a boiler in a building he was required to obtain the written assent of all property holders within ninety feet of the building. This, it was argued by some, was a hardship, for the reason that it operated against the owners of large buildings w desired to put in a boiler, and who were required to obtain the consent thereto of people not the least affected. So the Commissioners undertook to change the regulation on this subject, and upon the recommendation of Inspector Brady amended the section which refers to boilers £0 us to read in effect that hereafter when a party desired to locate a boiler the con- sent of the neighbors was necessary only from those within ninety feet from the botler, provided the latter was inclosed in # brick wall. This will operate especially to the advantage of the owners of large buildings. The New Regulations, Inquires are being dally made concerning the new building regulations. It will be re- called that the committee intrusted with the revision of the present regulations made its report some months ago. Since that time Commissioner Truesdell, who has the direct charge of the office of the building inspector, has carefully consid- ered the new regulations, and recommend- ed a number of changes. The regulations are now in the hands of the other Commis- sioners, who will take the matter up and finally ‘dispose of it, after they complete their annual report.’ The new regulations can then be advertised as required by law, and put into forée by the first of the new year. Two New Residences, Several fine improvements have been commenced during the week, the most no- ticeable of which is the handsome resi- dence of William Bruce King at the south- east corner of New Hampshire avenue and S street. This dwelling will be built on the colonial style of architecture, and will be four stories. Every modern improvement will be placed in the building, which is to have a frontage of twenty-four feet by a depth of sixty-eight feet two inches. A handsome residence has just been com- pleted at the corner of New Jersey avenue and 2d and I streets nor#iwest for Dr. S. S. Bond. The house is of brick, three sto- ries high. The first story is built of In- diana lime stone. The buildipg has a frontage of seventy-five feet on New Jer- sey avenue and contains sixteen rooms. Dr. Nairn’s Residence. Plans have just been completed by F. B. Pyle, architect, for a handsome residence for Dr. John W. Nairn, to be erected at No. 1399 Rhode Island avenue northwest. 1t will be’ Basement and three stories in height, and will extend through to P street, fronting on both P street and Rhode Is- land avenue. The Rhode Island avenue frcnt will have a bay window, extending the entire height of building. The resi- dence will be trimmed in oak, heated by steam and equipped with the most modern. facilities. Electric Road Extensions. The extension of the Brightwood electric road's Takoma branch to Burnt Mills, Md., kas already been commenced, and it is un- derstood that the Georgetown and Tenley- town Electric railroad will be extended from its present terminus at Bethesda Park to Rockville, Md., by way of Garrett Park as soon as spring opens. The com- pletion of the water works and electric light system at Rockville is expected by the first of June at the latest. Some Improvements, J. G. Meyers, architect, will erect for himself three brick and stone dwellings at 2515, 2517 and 2519 14th street extended, Columbia Heights. The houses will each be three stories in height, with basement, and will have fronts of limestone, with square and circular bay windows. The di- mensions of the structures will be eighteen by twenty-seven feet, with back buildings thirty-seven by fourtee. feet. A new frcnt and general alterations and repairs will be made to the house owned by M. R. Goddard at 3106 M street north- west. The house at 226 New Jersey avenue, owned by Mr. F. F. Chamberiain, will undergo minor interior repairs. ‘The en- trance will also be remedeled and the work will be done by James H. Nolan, builder. Plans have been prepared by M. Hunter Jones, architect, for a two-story and cellar brick dwelling to be erected at 70% O street northwest, for H. H. Nichols. The dimen- sions of the structure will be seventeen by fifty feet and the front will be of pressed brick and brownstone, with square bay windows and tower and mansard roof. The interior will be tastefully finished. B. F, Meyers, architect, has prepared Plans for six dwellings to be erected on Sherman avenue northwest. The houses will not all be built on one side of the street, three being on one side and three on the other. Three of them will be seven- teen feet by thirty feet in dimensions, and will be two stories and a basement in 3s y) ee tomers. =, we are giving them more os @ usual. schedule for next wee! those needs of yours: Hat Trimmings. 150 dozen Black Real Os- trich Three-quarter Plumes.
