At the annual election of officers of Epiphany P. E. Church, held yesterday evenirg, Rev. Louis G. Wood of Teronto, Canada, announced that he had accepted the position of first assistant of the parish as successor to the Rev. Willlam R. Tur- ner, now rector of St. Michael's and All Angels’ P. E. Church. With Rev. Wood there are now four assistant ministers at- tached to Epiphany Church, as follows: Rev. Albert M. Hilliker, Rev. Dr. J. Mc- Bride Sterett and Rev. Herbert Scott Smith. Rev. Louis G. Wood is an Englishman by birth, but removed to Canada with his parents at an early age. He first received an academic education and then later grad- uated at Huron College, London, Oniario. He entered the ministry of the Canadian Episcopal Church after a course of several years’ theclogical study, and has served at a number of important charges, the last before coming to Washington being as first assistant at the Church of the Re- the ensuing year: Varela; junior war- Rev. deemer, the leading church of the denomi- nation in Toronto. The climate of Canada has proved too severe for his family, and this, together with the affliction caused by the recent death of his mother, determined lim to seek other quarters. About two months ago he accepted temporarily his present position at Epiphany, and has filled the position so acceptably since then that the call of a week ago was the result. The rector of Epiphany, Rey. Dr. R. H. McKim, announced Sundays ago that he would call for $1,800 on Eastcr Sunday to pay for the cost of the recent improvements, and was agreeably surprised when the collection last Sunday was found to amount to over $2,000. —_+>—__. ANTI-DIVISION ASSOCIATION. “To Rent” Cards Show the Work Done During the Year. Rev. Thomas C. Easton opened the Anti- Division Association’s meeting in the W. C. T. U. rooms last evening with pray President Bruen read his annual report, showing in detail the results accompiish xd by the association. It refers to the es- tablishment on July 13, 1895, of the Open- door Gospel Mission at 1319 D street north- west, where gospel services have since been held four times a week. The report then gives a history of the crusade against immoral houses, beginning with the first conference of the society on February 14, 1896, and following with accounts of the subsequent mass meetings and raids upon houses in the “Division,” and the triais of the women in the Police Court. “Twenty- five houses in the ‘Division,’" says Prest- dent ‘Bruen in his repori, “were closed be- tween February and June, 1896, and signs of ‘to rent’ were affixed to the following houses in the ‘Division:’ 1307 C street, 1202, 1208, 1223, 1301, 1322 D_ street, 208 i2 street, 408, 307, 312, 317, 328 13th street, 301, 305, 317, 318 and 320 13%% street.” Dr. Wray Beattie, S. D. Luckett and J. 8. Blackford were of the opinion that a request should be made upon the new Dis- trict Commissioners that the law against the houses in the “Division” be enforce’, and that a printed copy of President Bruen’s report be sent to each of them. After discussion of plans for future work, in which attention was given to the ex- istence of immoral massage houses in the city, the meeting adjourned. a “Billy” Willia: Indicted. The following indictments were returned by the grand jury this afternoon: Solomon Moten, alias Sol Moten, false pretences; Wm. A. Saxton, alias Alfred Saxton, biga- my; Laura Johnson, larceny; Charles An- derson, larceny from the person; Roland Mcrgan, larceny from the person and rob- bery; Benjamin Turner, robbery; William Williams and Albert Tolson, do.; William Watson, second offense of petit larceny. William Williams, better known as “Bil- ly” Williams, long known in police circles, and Tolson are the men who, the authori- ties claim, waylaid Isadore Efron the 10th of this month and robbed him of a watch and chain and his pocket book. es A Technical Assault, on a Wife. .

A large part of Secretary Bliss’ time has been taken up in listening to senators and representatives who have called upon him for the purpose of pressing the claims of their friends for reinstatement or pro- motion, but as yet he has been unable to go into the examination of such cases to any extent.

These men are John Taylor, Albert Middiesworth, James Reed and F. MeMul- lin. An equal number of watchmen will be dismissed from the force to make room for these men. The Secretary will at once ap- point two Heutenants of the watch force in Place of the incumbents. Secretary Bliss is moving very slowly, but the principle on which he will operate will be that so far as within his power he will right any wrong against republicans that was committed during the last administration. In the office of the commissioner of pat- ents there is a very long list of applicants for reinstatement and for promotion, in order to restore them to the places they oc- cupied before Secretary Smith took charge of the department. Commissioner Butter- worth has not yet been able to give con- sideration to these cases, but he has receiv- ed a large number of congressional delega- tions that have called in the interests of many of the applicants. Speaking to a Star Feporter today, Commissioner Butterworth said “I have not yet been able to give con- sideration to these applications. I hope to begin doing so by the Ist of May, but it will necessarily take considerable time to dispose of them. It is really not a mat- ter that I like to deal with. It is very far from berg pleasant to me to make dismissals of people who are doing their duty here, and where I find a woman, for Instance, supporting a family by her work in this office, I don’t propose dismissing ker for any political or other reason, even if her appointment was not made in ex- actly the right way. But, of course, there are a number of cases in which jus- tice should be done, and it will be done a8 soon as it is possible to do so. But I find this part of my work is far from congenial, .and so far as I am concerned I would very much prefer having it turned over to a commission which would have authority to make a thorough examination of all cases brought to its attention, and in that way to secure proper action on de- serving cases.” EEE ‘THE LATE CARTOONIST COFFIN. An Exhibition of His Original Draw- ings to Be Made Next Week. The legions of friends and admirers of the late Mr. George Y. Coffin, the cartoon- ist, whose sad death a few months ago cast such a gloom of the community which he had catertained so successfully for many years, will be highly gratified to lecrn that an exhibition of his original drawings will be held in a few days at Veerhoff's gallery on F street near 13th. The exhibition will open Wednesday, April 28, and will continue one week. It would be impossible to show all the drawings by the lamatented wit and humorist in any apartment in Washington, as he was as prolific in his work as he was genial in conception, but those which will be hung will be carefully selected and will show his power and style in an instructive and interesting way. The drawings, ioo, will give the general public a better idea of Mr. Coffin’s ability than was possible to be obtained from their reproductions in print. —— Organization of St. Matthew's Church Union.
