James H. Daniel, colored, a few days ago called at the residence of Moses Wil- kerson, No. 223 Oriole street, and said he was a stranger in the city, was penniless, and asked shelter for the night. The re- quest was granted. After Daniel departed the next morning Mr. Wilkerson discovered that a silver watch, two pairs of trousers, a pair of gold eyeglasses, a razor, pair of gloves, watch charm, a locket, silver star society pin, gold pencil, an umbrella and a number of other articles of value had gone with him.

She was removed to the Emergency Hos- Pital, where she soon recovered from the effects of her unexpected bath. “I was down there on the fish wharf looking for pieces of wood and coal,” the old woman explained, ‘and when I step- ped on a plank that I thought was nailed there wan't no nail in ft, and in I went.” “Were you frightened?” the old aunty was asked. “Honey,” she answered, poking her head out from beneath the blanket, “I didn’t get scared till I got in the water, and went down twice. I went down so quick that I didn't have time to pray. When I got up the last time, some men on the wharf handed out a piece of scantling, and I caught it.” The doctors at the hospital treated Aunt Julia and put her to bed, where she was made more comfortable and given better attention than she had received in many months before. a AMUSEMENTS. an interesting address.

It had seemed to be very disastrous that the support of the five flourishing stations in Lyons must be curtailed, the extensive operations at 8t. Etienne cut off, and the valuable work among the sailors at Marseilles stopped. But it had all worked for good. The French Protestant churches of Lyons had come to see the importance of the missions as feed- ers to their own churches, and they took up the care of those stations which the McAll Mission had been forced to put down. “And so it was everywhere. In one place it was the local Y. M. C. A. that took it up; in another a generous American wo- man, who assumed the expense; in others, as at Lyons, the Protestant pastors and people. “In Paris the wealthiest and most fagh- fonable Protestant church, that of Pente- mont, took up a station that the mission had been forced to close, and now these men and women of rank and wealth are carrying on their own mission. “Now, the heavy debt which had nearly paralyzed the mission having been paid, largely through the gifts of Americans, the mission was entering upon a new career of usefulness. Calls for new stations are coming up from all parts of France, espe- cially frorn the towns and villages along the rivers, where for four years past the little mission boat has been working.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: There are two topics of great interest at this moment that seem to have a distinct bearing on each other. One is the Paris fire and the other the proposed enlarge- ment of the White House. Even that tem- porary building intended for 2,000 people or thereabout had, I believe, six doors. At one New Year reception at the White House it was estimated that 7,000 were received in a building that has one door. There are two windows arranged as exits and entrances, but with the awnings they would be very dangerous in case of panic. The new plan published in Harper’s Week- ly November 28 lagt has three doors to enter at and three doors connecting all the public reception rooms. Three win- dows open from the blue room on to a terrace, but these are:always closed with palms.and flowers. One has only to, think of the effeet of a malicious person calling “fire!” on a reception night to feel sure there is great need for immediate action in enlarging the present building. CORNEL!

Incidentally, it may be stated that Jane has been in the Police- Court several times before on the same charge, “Jané was begging from everybody she met,” stated Policeman Sontag. ‘When I arrested her she was paralyzed by drink.” * Jane's peculiar characteristic is that she always selects Water street southwest when she goes on a rampage. Her re- cital of woe was not very impressive, so she went to the workhouse for thirty days. Frank Taylor was the next in line, and he was in a highly indignant frame of mind. “I arrested him as he came out of an alley. where’a lot of milk cans were stand- ing,” said the policeman who figured in the case. “‘He struck me as being a sus- piclous character, so I took him in.” “Is that all you know about him?” asked the court. es, sir.” ‘ase dismissed.” hat man was arrested for breathing * whispered a spectator.

Jay Durham, have each time prevailed and the exhibi- tions. have been continued. Tomorrow, however, is positively the last day of the biograph in Washington, and, after tomor- row evening’s exhibition, Colonel Durham will be seen no more upon the lecture stage in Washington as a delineator of the mys- teries of this wonderful invention. The biograph has been one of the most suc- cessful amusements that has ever been put before the public of Washington, and its friends may be counted by the thou- sands. It has helped church after church and society after society by its benefit ex- hibitions and has in every way come up to the requirements of a first-class amuse- ment institution. ——__ HOME PURCHASED. First Methodist Protestant Congrega- tion to Occupy Old Trinity Church. The congregation of the First Methodist Protestant Church has purchased the for- mer house of worship of Trinity M. E. Church, on 4th street southeast, near G street, for $12,000. The M. P. Church edi- fice was damaged by the storm of last Sep- tember, and since then the congregation have been looking around for a new home. Plans have been decided upon by which the old Tr.rity Church will ultimately Le entirely transformed. For the present the First Church will limit itself to spending about $3,000 in alterations and improve- ments. The building, as it stands now, !s fifty-eight feet wide by eighty feet long, and is two stories in height. ‘The purchase includes the parsonage ad- joining the church on the south, which is of three stories and has eleven'rooms. This will also be renewed, in teadiness for its new occupaut.

As to Dr. Gibson, the vestry have sent him a letter stating that they will be obliged to dispense with his services after the first of November next and notifying him to look for another place, though they intimate thaf they will make an effort to retain him if he does not find another charge by then. By many of Dr. Gibson’s friends this ac- tion of the vestry of St. Andrew's does not meet with favor, but in justice to the church it must be stated that there is hardly any other course open to it, con- sidering the financial burden resting on it, Dr. Gibson was for several years assistant minister at St. Paul’s Church, Rev. Alfred Harding, rector, having come from the Episcopal Church at Elkridge, Md., but re- ceiving a call last September from St. An- drew's Church, he accepted it, though the congregation of St. Paul were very loth to part with him. The result fs that Dr. Gibson will be without a station by No- vember, and without a suitable vacancy existing at present in the diocese of ‘Wash- ington or in his old diocese of Maryland. The situation is a delicate one for both sides, but efforts are being and will be made to remedy whatever injustice may have been done the doctor. Rev. Gihson is the son of the late Rev. Alexander E.
