W. G. Cas- sard, Has Been Appointed a Navi Chaplain, It 1s understood that Rev. W. W. Van Arsdale, the former pastor of the Fifteenth Street Methodist Episcopal Church, who was transferred by Bishop Mallalieu at the last conference to Hagerstown, will be appointed by Presiding Elder Wilson pastor of the Twelfth Street Church, to succeed Rev. W. G. Cassard, the latter having been appointed by President Mc- Kinley a chaplain in the navy. The readers of The Star will remember that the church to which Mr. Van Arsdale was assigned by the presiding bishop of the conference declined to recelve him, solely because they had asked for the ap- pointment of another minister, and, as Mr. Van Arsdale would not take charge of the church under those circumstances, he was left for the time being without a sta tion. Chaplain Cassard. The appointment of Mr. Cassard to the chaplaincy in the navy, which, it is under- stood, was due to the Influence of Bishop Hurst, has created considerable comment among his brother ministers of the Balti- more M. E. conference. Mr. Cassard is a native of Maryland, but Ras been a resi- dent of Washington for a year. He was born in Baltimore in 1864. But few years of his early life were spent in the city, as his parents moved soon after his birth to Berkeley Springs, W. Va., and from there to Washington, where his education was finished. In 1885 Mr. Cassard began his minis- terial career, under the auspices of the Southern Methodist Church, serving suc- cessively Calvert circuit, Md.: Hunters- ville and Alderson, W. Va., charges. While at the latter place he transferred his af- filations to the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was appointed to Severn cir- cuit in Anne Arundel county, in 1888. He was sent to Calvert circult’ from there, and then to Arlington and Pimlico, on the northwestern suburbs of Baltimore, in 1893. He is an Editor. During the two years of his Baltimore ministry Mr. Cassard was identified promi- nently with the Junior Order of Mechanics, and is stiil the editor of its official organ in this city. He also was an active member of the society which took slumming tours, compesed of the Rev. Messrs. Heisse and Guthrie and himself. In politics he was a prohibitionist during the campaign of 1895, and made such ardent stump speeches against both the republican and democratic parties that one of the Baltimore county newspapers pub- lished some scathing editorials upon his ap- plying for the chaplaincy of the Maryland legislature under the republican nomina- tion. Other Methodist Naval Chaplains. In 1896 Mr. Cassard was appointed to the Twelfth Street Church, Washington, which is near the navy yard. He was one of the first Washington Methodist pastors to in- vite President McKinley to attend his churen. ‘The Baltimore conference already has one active chaplain in the United Siates navy, and Rev. H. H. Clark, now serving at th Naval Academy, and the Rev. J. B. Van Meter, dean of the Woman's College, held a chaplaincy on vessels in commission for a number of years. Mr. Cassard will, as stated, resign from the Twelfth Street pastorate, and the pul- pit will be filled by Presiding Elder Wilson until the next session of the conference. ROBBERIES EPORTED. Citizens Tell of Prope Disappea aul Crutchett, a young man who lives at No. 514 B street northeast, enjoyed a game of base ball on the commons Wed- nesday afternoon, but when he got ready to go home he discovered that he had paid dearly for his fun. Because of the condl- tion of the weather, Paul found it uncom- fortable to finish the game while wearing his heavy clothes, and so he took off his coat and vest and put them on the ground. When the game was finished he was sur- prised to find that his articles of wearing apparel were gone. In his vest pocket he had a lady's gold watch, and att it was a long gold chain. Hi H. N. Crutchett, called on the police yes- terday and reported the theft. William J. Conlin, who is employed at the Home for Incurables, reported a rob- bery to the police today. He had $40 in his trunk in his room, and some time during the past week the money disappeared. Nine chickens were stolen from the prem- ises of William Fowle, No. 446 M street, Wednesday night. The thief climbed the fence and broke open the door of the hen house. Mrs. John E. Talty, No. 1911 F street northwest, reports the theft of nine alarm gongs. They were taken from the Hillman House during the past month. Twenty pigeons were stolen from the shed in the rear of the premises of Nich- olas Davis, No. 48 M street northwest, Monday night. Allan C. De Mueller, No. 1353 Roanoke street, complains of the theft of two pairs of trousers and two coats. The articles of wearing apparel were stolen from his honse. Mary Ward complains of the theft of ty That Has $5.21. The money was stolen from her house, 1013 3d street northwest, a week ago. SS Wandering Bullet. Wednesday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock passengers on a Baltimore and Ohio train were greatly alarmed because a pistol bul- let was sent crashing through one of the windows. The train was near the bridge of the Maryland and Washington electric rail- road at the time, and fortunately the bullet did not wound or kill any one of the pas- sengers. At the place where the affair happened the train was not going at great rate of speed because of the nearness ef a station. The train was near the Dis- trict line at the time. Yesterday the police of the eighth precinct were told of the af- fair and the county officers are now making an investigation and are anxious to appre- hend the offender. This is the first offense of the kind that has been committed on the road for many months, and Chief Lloyd of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad detectives fs having his mer take part in the investi- a gation. Some months zgo the railroad of- ficials e annoyed by boys throwing stones ai the cars, but the railroad de- tectives broke up the crowd and succeeded in landing some of them in prison. It is thought that the pistol shot flred Wednes- day wus not intended for the train, but was merely a stray shot fired by somé one en- gaged in target practice. ———— The Flood Sufferers Benefited. The entertainment given under the direc- tion of Miss Thompson at Confederate Vet- erans’ Hall last night was a decided suc- cess, and will, after all returns are made, net quite a sum for the unfortunate suf- ferers by reason of the Miss!ppi flood, for whose benefit it was given. The hall was crowded and many tickets were sold that were not presented en account of the weuther. Those whic assisted in the en- tertainment were the Metropolitan Mando- lin Club, Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry, so- prano; Miss Florence Henri King, violinist; Mrs. Mary Parker, pianist; Miss Warring- ton, pianist; Master Robert Rafter, violin- ist; Miss Edna Kingsman, Miss Edra Bishop, soprano; Mr. Goldwin S. Patten in character recitations, and Miss Blanche Beach in recitations. One of the features of the entertainment was a scene from Dickens’ “Old Curiosity Shop,’ entitled “Miss Quilp’s Tea Party,” In which a com- petens cast was acceptable to a high de- gree.

When it became known that the political census of the clerks in the District build- ing had ho warrant of the Commissioners, the clerks became easy, and today thcy are treating the whole matter as a po- litical Joke. They believe it had some sig- nificance, but refuse to be interviewed, ‘There is still considerable comment about it, and when one clerk meets another, in- stead of passing the pleasantries of the day, he is asked his politics. The clerk who compiled the list is full of funny ex- periences. He found several who went on record as “prohibitionists.” Several, it is stated, desired to be put down as “woman suffragists,” and not a few who live in the suburbs desired to be known as “popu- lists.” This new list really amounts to nothing, since it is by no means accurate. The clerks, as soon as they heard that the compilation was not ordered by the Com- missioners, joked with the compiler, and it was said yesterday that only one demo- crat on each floor could be found. ‘Ther are several instances where men who here tofore signed as democrats, put them- selves down as republicans, and did <o in good faith. Whether this rcally repre- sented their political belief is not ventured. It was stated this morning by a promi- nent head in the engineer department that an entire room full of clerks refused to an- swer the queries of the political inter- rogator, and in one case, rather than an- swer the questions propounded, a number of engineers found pressing business in the field. ‘ —_-—— HOSPITAL AID SOCIETY. Great Progress Made and Much En- thusinsm Among the Members. Despite inclement weather yesterday af- terncon, there was a fairly good attend- ance at the meeting of the Hospital. Ald Society of the Georgetown College. Jus- tice Morris was unable to be present and preside, and this duty was performed by Dr. Richards, president of the college. The greatest enthusiasm prevails among the workers for the hospital, and the out- look is that within another month work will be begun on the institution which Promises so much good. The report of Sec- retary Kober yesterday afternoon showed that over $15,000 has been raised so far. Not quite $10,000 of this is in cash, the re- mainder being subscriptions covering a pe- riod of five years. It is necessary to have $15,000 In available cash before the work begins, and the hope is that the remainder will be raised within the next few weeks. Everybody is at work. The ladies who are working are collecting small sums wherever they can induce subscriptions, and these help. Dr. Joseph Tabor Johnson, chairman of the building committee, was unable to be present, and no report was received from his committee. A gocd many people un- able to give money have promised lumber and other things. The subscriptions recefved so far consist of $9,612 in available cash and $5,960, pay- able in yearly installments. It is believed that an unknown man will subscribe $15,000) in cash so soon as the cash subscriptions reach the same amount. This will give $30,000. The following are among the sub: scriptions since the last meeting: W. C. P. Hazen, $100; Thomas Hyde, $100; unknown friend, $800; Woodward & Lothrop, $250; Metropolitan Railroad Company, &: ats x Keene, $100, and Dr. A. MacKay-Smith, 00. Samuel T. Williams donated $100 for the endowment of a bed in memory of his de- ceased wife, Caroline Rives Williams. The society will mect again on Monday, May 3, at 4 p.m., at the Arlington. WORKING GIRLS, Meeting of People Interested in a Pro- a Ho A meeting of people interested in the es- tablishment in this city of a permanent home fer bu: s girls earning $5 per week or less was held yesterday at the home of Mrs. M. draves, S25 5th street northwest. The object in the establishment of this home is to furnish homes for girls who receive but a small compensation for their labor, and by it are unable to secure respectable and comfortable ace >mmoda- tions. It ts desired by the originators of this enterprise to furnish board and lodging as cheaply as $1 per weck for girls who earn very small wages, and they hope to make a beginning by hiring a commodiou placing it in charge of a matrone: ceive the girls as boarder: king up any deficiency of funds by securing donations for the home. At the mectin; project was discuss appointed to hunt uy this purpose. The lac tablish this home election of the follo held this afternoon the ple house for yoring to es- ve organized by the ing officers: Mrs. M. ce presi- dent; Mrs. Abbie G 5 Ackland, treasurer and corresponding sec- retary. a Capital Railway. The protest of President Griswold against the building of a portion of the Capital railway came up before the Commission- ers late yesterday afternoon for final ad- justment. Representatives of the Capital Railway Company were present, and Presi- dent Griswold of the Anacostia 10ad_w: also on hand to present his case. The objection arose from the application of the Capital railway’s representatives for per- mission to bond the rails of the Anacostia road for the purpose of compicting clec- trical connection. President Griswold ob- jected to the use of his (racks in Nichols avenue and Monroe street, and said there vas no authority for such’ use. ‘The Com- sioners heard both sides, and, after the hearing closed, granted the permit to the Capital railway to make the changes requested. _ Kansas Republicans. At a meeting of Kansas republicans now residing in the District, held last evening at 419 10th street, a permanent organiza- tion was effected and the following offi- cers elected: B. F.

Mrs. Catherine Graeves died at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning at her home, Sligo, Md., at the age of seventy-five years less one day. The death of Mrs. Graeves,who has long been a sufferer from rheumatism and kindred complaints, though not entirely unexpected, has cast a gloom over the com- munity with whom she has so long been a respected residert. The funeral took place from her late residence at Sligo, today, at 3 p.m., und her remains were interred at Grace Episcopal Church cemetery. See Will Filea.

Testimony Given Yesterday Before the Congressienal Joint Com- mittee on ‘Charities. The reform school ‘for girls was investi- gater by the congressional joint committee on charities yesterday ‘afternoon. The tes- timony was taken after The Star had gone to press, and brought to light some in- teresting facts in connection with the in- stitution. Mr. William C. Endicott, jr., president of the board of trustees, gave the bulk of the testimony. The girls’ reform schoo! is supported entirely by public appropria- tions, and, as declared by Mr. Kndlicott, is more of a prison than a reformatory. The school is located nearly three miles west of the city, and occupies a large building, with grated and barred window: and partially surrounded by a_ten-foot fence, surmounted by five rows of barbed wire. The girls are confined in separate cells, and are locked in at night. Mr. Endicott said the building, while con- structed for its present use, is utterly un- fit for the purpose, in fact, as he called it, “a ridiculous building’ for a reform school. He said that in ease of fire it would be necessary to visit each cell and unlock it in order to prevent its occupant from being burned to death. According to Mr. Endicott’s testimony, there ar» twenty- seven girls in the institution, all of them colored. No white girls are’ admitted. “What is done with white girls who ere eligible for admission to a reform school?” asked Mr. Pitney. “They are sent to jail or to the work- house,” answered Mr. Endicott. “That is barbarous,” exclaimed -Mr. Northway. Mr. Endicott explained that some were admitted to the House of the Good Shepherd and similar institutions of a private nature. Mr. Endicott said the girls were per- fectly crazy to escape from the reform school. Mr. Pitney compared this state- ment with one which had been made a short time ago by Col. Clay in regard to the boys’ reform school, to the effect that the boys were not anxious to escape. There were no walls around that reform school and no suggestion of a prison. The boys found their condition so much better from the life they led at large that they were glad to stay, and last year, out of 127 in- mates, only four ran away. Mr. Endicott said there had been a great deal of trouble with the superintendents and teachers of the institution, principally due to incompetency. There had been tive superintendents since the school started. ‘There had been friction with the superin- tendent of charities, too. Mr. Endicott said the school was not as satisfactory as should be, and recommended an appro- priation of $50,000 to enlarge the building. He said there is no way now to segregate the criminal famates from those who are merely upruly. Some of the girls are hardened “and most disreputable charac- ters, eighteen or nineteen years old, and with these the younger girls are obliged to associate. Miss Loring, one of the trustees, said scme of the girls are very vicious. They think nothing of striking each other with red hot irons in the! laundry and of biting their keepers. She told of one little girl, who, upon being thrown in with this class, creamed and cried, asking why she was put with such people. Miss Loring said she understood the police judges were go- ing to stop sendmg young girls to the place. Miss Rawlins, a former teacher at the institution, gave some rather severe t timcny about the conduct of the schoo but Mr. Endicott whispered that she a discharged employe. She had been ask- ed to resign on account of a “lack of har- mony” with the superintendent. Miss Raw lins said it was deplorable that the young girls should be thrown into contact with the criminals. She knew that this hard- ened them and ¢ they often learne things they would not have come into con- tact with if they were out in the world Mr. Endicott testified that there are vis- iting trustees and the place is visited weekly, except in the summer when most of the trustees are av Rawlin id that last year there one visiting tr Europe. was oily ee, the other one being in ee The Pentz Back on the Potomac.

We ask you to compare it in appearance and medicinal virtue to other mineral waters. At druggists. DEWITT W. MERTZ, _|-- Manager, 613 15th’st. U.°8. ‘Treasury, ~ - OVER FIVE THOUSAND RELIEVED.
