Bartlett B. James, the present pas- tor, was born in Cecil county, Maryland. His parents removing to Baltimore, he re- celved his early education in the public eee of that city. In 1883 he united with the old St. John’s Independ dist Church, the birthplace of Methonet Protestantism in Baltimore, and as well as of independent Methodism. Mr, James con- tinued his relations with that church until 1887, when he’ entered Western Maryland College to prepare for the ministry after having been employed five or six years in secular pursuits. In 1801 he graduated with a degree of A. B., and in the fall of that year he entered the Westminster Theological Seminary, remhining there one year, and receiving the degree of B. D. In the spring of 1892 he was received in- to the Maryland annual conference, which was convened at Pocomoke City, Md. His first intment was Remington Avenue Me! it Protestant Church, Baltimore. In. this .a tment he continued three years, and during that time pursued a |CONDENSED Al course of graduate study at the Johns Hop- kins University. Two years ago Mr. James Was honored by the degree of A. M. from his alma mater, and in 1895 he was ap- pointed by the conference to Parksley, Va.. where he only remained a couple of months, having obtained leave to continue his studies in Baltimore. At the next ses- sion of the conference, convened in Balti- more, he received his present appointment but still retains his connection with the Johns Hopkins University, and reeeéntly re- ceived from it the degree of Ph.D. The building committee of the ¢hurch is composed of Rev. Mr. James, pastor, ex- officio; Mr. C, KE. Hooks, chairman; W. A. Dodge, W. B. March, J. R. Ferguson, M Mary I. Wilkison and Miss M. J.

An unknown white woman, while cross- irg the parking on the west side of New Jersey avenue between Massachusetts ave- nue and H street, met with an accldent as the result of the ground caving in where a ripe had burst and caused a washout.

As Comamnder Hopkins assumed the gavel he was greeted with applause, and he responded in a short address. He ex- plained that the G. A. R. held its installa- tions in public that every one might know What tke organization is and what it i doing. The organization se to help and support all in distres: nd as its members fought, suffered and starved together dur- ing the r, so they stand together today. The organization seeks not only to help ard and distressed, but it also aims to instill patriotism a ty in the hearts of the people, in the young. During the said Commander Hopkin: » old Union oldier had been persona non grata with the present chief executive,and he had been merely tolerated in Washington. He had been able to obtain no redress for wrong inflicted upon him, and the civil serv rules and regulations had been made to be a mountain over which he could only in rare instances climb. All that, however, would be changed within the’ next few days, for next week a comrade would be in- augurated President, and then the old dier could sincerely say: ‘Thanks God that giveth us the victory.” It was true that President Cl nd had in- structed the present commissioner of pen- sions to be lenient to the old soldier, but the old soldier had never asked him to be lenient, and it would be a very cold day before he ever would. He simply asked Sustice, and that he would get after the 4th of March. In conclusion, Commander Hop- Kins paid a high tribute to the Women’s Relief Corps, stating that upon them de- pended in a very large degree the success of the G. A. R. Other Exercises. The rest of the evening was devoted to songs by Comrade George H. Lillibridge and Miss Lena Shepherd, addresses by Past Commander Patrick of Alabama and ex- Representative Charles A. Sumner of Cali- fornia, the audience being dismissed by the singing of “America.” But before the as- semblage was dismissed retiring President Annie Johnson of the Women’s Relief Corps was presented with an elegant corps badge by Past Commander Anderson, on behalf of the corps and the G. A. R., he ex- plainirg that it will later be replaced by a jeweled one. The new commander of the department, Thomas 8. Hopkins, was born in Mount Vernon, Kennebec county, Me., April 22, 1845. He was reared on the farm, and is a éirect descendant of Stephen Hopkins, who came over in the Mayflower. He attended the district school, and later the seminary at Kent’s Hill, Me., enlisting in 1862, when but seventeen years of age, in the 16th Maine Volunteers, going immediately to the front. He was wounded at Fredericksburg the first engagement in which his regiment participated, but he continued with the regiment until 1863, when, being broken down, he was sent to the hospital and sub- sequently transferred to the Veteran Re- serve Corps. After the war he entered the Treasury Department, and studied law here in the Columbian University Law School, graduating in 1869. Since then he has re- sided here almost continuously, acquiring @ good practice. He is a member of Meade Post, G. A. R., of this city, and the office to which he has just been elected came to him unsought. First Orders Issued. Commender Hopkins has issued general orders 1 and 2.
