SSOSSOESSOSCS SSSOCESO COMMANDER OF BROOKLYN'S NAVAL MILITIA. A Former Washingtonian Has Been Given That Position. Mr. Wm. H. Stayton, formerly assistant judge advocate general of the navy, on duty in this city, has been chosen com- mander of the Brooklyn Naval Reserve Bat- talion, just organized. Mr. Stayton re- signed from the marine corps in 1891 and established himseif in the practice of law in New York city, meeting with unusual suc- cess. He early identified himself with the naval reserve movement, and his intimate acquaintance with such matters led to his election to be a Neutenant of the New York organization, later becoming lieutenant | commander of the fourth diviston, 1st Bat- talion. Recently a new battalion has been formed in Brooklyn and Mr. Stayton was chosen by the organizing committees to be the first commander, an honor eagerly sought for by several candidates. SEEKERS OF PERPETUAL MOTION. The Idea Still Troubles Many, as Pat- ent Office Records Show. Any one who regards the idea of accom- plishing perpetual motion by means of me- chanical devices as a thing of the past would be undeceived by an inspection of applications for patents being made at the rate of 600 a week. Every now and then an inventor applies to the United States patent office for a patent on a perpetual motion machine. Drawings most elaborate and specifications thoroughly complicated are always filed with these applications, but the examiner of the section to which such matters are referred spends no time poring over drawings and specifications. He proceeds on the plan that a demonstra- tion by a practical operation fs better than a long-drawn-out argument to show. that the thing can be done, and accordingly asks | the inventor to submit a model. The model never comes, the ingenuity of the inventor being exhausted in showing how the motor can be constructed and not being equal to actualiy constructing it. Every reputable patent attorney is ex- pected to discourage clients from dissipating thelr money op worthless ideas, and, as a rule, the hopeful inventor of perpetual mo- tion is advised by his atturney not to waste money on an impossibility. He is shown that friction and resistance of the air are in the way of perpetual mo- tion, and that even if these elements of trouble could be overcome it would be im- possible to get power from a machine un- less the power was constantly being put in it. In other words, that any scheme to | et something from nothing must fail, and, j Of course, the idea of perpetually supplying power to a perpetual motor {s no part of the scheme of those who dream of this fancy of mechanics. Whenever: an attorney sees that an in- ventor of perpetual motion thas been so in- noculated with the fancy that the disease mvst fake it course and his friendly advise rolls off the back of the genius like water off a duek, he proeeeds in all seriousness | to’ make application for a patent, extracts several fees from the pocket of the clien:, who becomes a wiser jf poorer man when he ts brought face to face with the demand 8 ecard eeepc eee inal charter of the city of Phil. ‘The ecelphia Is in the possession of the Hister- ical Scctety of Pennsylvania.

SAE eee Little People Please the Seniors— Colored Man Was Looking for Trouble and ‘Found It. The Children’s day services at the West Street Presbyteritin Church were held yes- terday at the heur for morning service, and were very interesting. The church was prettily decorated with daisies and flowers for the cccasion. The children of the primary class, under Miss Wills, rendered several selections, the primary class h ing over 100 members. ‘The Six Wishes,” a pretty selection, was given by May Dun- ham, Margaret Easterday, Josepha Mul- ford, Vernon Houghton, George Freeman ‘and William Phelps. Virginia Mayfield, a six-year-old tot, recited a very pretty se- lection, being heard distinctly all over the church. The older children of the Sunday school followed the regular program for the occasion. The sermon by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Alexander, was very appropriate. He urged all of the children to start out in the world with c.ean records, and live up to them. He illustrated his remarks by the use of two pieces of blank paper, one clean and the other blurred and smeared. Mr. Wil- liam Leetch, the superintendent of the Sunday school. presided. Prof. Hunter con- ducted the music and Mr. Stitt officiated at the organ, Children’s day services at the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church yesterday were of more than usual interest. In the morning the Sunday school attended church in a body and listened to an interesting chalk- talk from the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. B, Stitt. The infant class sang a piece and there was also a fine solo by Mr. Walter Birch. In the evening the entire service was by the school, which, under the leadership of Mr. J. Henry Wilson, sang excellently. The recitations of Eleanor ‘Kirkley, Maud Fletcher, Ethel Offutt, Mabel Darcey, Helen Dix, Georgie Stewart and Ida Offutt, re- spectively, were worthy of special mention, as was also one by Mr. Wilbur Sherwood. The part taken by the infant class, judg- ing by the applause which greeted the lit- tle ones, was evidently the most enjoyable of the evening. There were solos by Leila Bogley, Etta Sebastian and Ella Allen, and recitations by Master Walter Bogley, Ethel Smith, Malet Roach, Inez McLean, Lula Lowe, Clara Dyer, Louise Schofield and Jason Hammer. ‘The decorations were very elaborate, the place being a mass of flowers and ever- greens. The work was done under the di- rection of Mr. J. A. Houghton, and his ef- forts showed up magnificently. At the Gay Street Baptist Church the services in celebration of Children’s day proved to be very entertaining, and were well attended. The pastor, Rev. W. 8. O. Tomas, delivered an interesting sermon to the children in the forenoon, and in the evening the services, which commenced at > o'cleck, were in charge of the children. @ program was good and the songs and individual work of all of the children were appreciated. Charged With Lareeny. Hannah Cook was arrested yesterday and locked up at the seventh precinct police station on a charge of larceny.

John Jackson, a country negro, came to grief last evening en the Tenleytown road. He was with half a dozen companions coming Jown the road, and was looking for trouble. Officer Bradley was in citizen's ciothes, and the negro went up to him, smacked him in the face with his hat and asked about his health: A polite response wes given, and the negro repeated the per- formance. Some of his companions said something about the pplice, and the negro in question commenced cursing all of the blue coats. The ‘policeman grabbed and took him to,the Station house, w his companions fied. When he was searc! ed, two large flint rocks were found in the negro’s pockets. This morning Judge Kim- ball sent him to faft ‘In default of payment of a fine of $10. New Patrolmen. Policemen W. Wheeler and R. J. Howlett are new arrivals at the station house, hav- ing been but recently assigned to duty at the place.

Flag day was observed in this section of the city today by a number of private parties. The American flag floated from all of the school houses, the police station and the engine house, while on many streets the banner was displayed from up- per household window: —— FOULTZ ELUDES THE OFFICERS. Murderer of Robinson Believed to Be Hiding in a Sewer. Dorsey Foultz, the colored murderer, is apparently no rearer the bar of justice than he was the afternoon of Decoration Gay, when he went to the woods after killing his former companion, Charles Rob- inson. Saturday night and last night the police maée several efforts to find him, but were ur succcssful. Policemar Willingham is, perhaps, the only member of the force who has actually seen the fugitive since he committed the murder. He saw him on the hill in the vicinity of the reservoir near the Soldiers’ Home, and endeavored to shoot at him sev- eral times, but his plstol failed to work, and Foultz escaped. It is believed by some of the officers that the murderer is still in the sewer heretofore described. This sewer has a manhole a short,distance from the house in Howardtown in which Foultz lived, and also has an outlet in the Sol- diers’ Home grounds. One report received last week was to the effect that the fugitive was living in a tree. It has now been several days since any one has claimed to have seen Foultz. IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. Senator McMillan Discusses Grade Crossings With Commissioner Black. Another important raflroad conference took place this morning at the Commis- sicners’ office. This time it was between the Engineer Commissioner and Senator James McMillan, the chairman of the Sen- ate committee on the District of Columbia. The senator's thorough knowledge of the railroad situation ‘in South Washing- ton served nim well,,and his discussion of the various plans showed an intimate knowledge of the necds of that section. He directed his spectal attention to an understanding of the’ plan proposed by Commissioner Black. his is the com- Promise plan which was first shown the raflrcad officials at the conference last Friday. : Briefly, it proposes an. clevation of th road from about. Virginia avenuq rune ning on a viaduct’ wholly within the bor- ders of the mall #nd entering an elevated railroad station ow the site of the present building. Also she opening, or rather the extension, cf Missouri avenue through the depot property ay far west as 7th street, where it merges into E street north. The great advarfages'of such'a plan are the free use of 6th street by teams, the aoandonment of B street bettieen 7th and 9th street by the Metropolitt®h valiroad, as well as the abandonment of 6th street by the same id, thereby giving for the public a large plaza, ‘free from the conges-" tion inc‘dent to railroad occupancy of a street. Commissioner Black, as soon as Senator McMiilan was announced, sent for Engi- neer Hunt, and the plans were carefully gone over, the smallest detail being ca. plained. The compromise plan pleased the senator very much. The differences between the former plans of the Commis- sioners and those of the ratiroad engineers xt discussed. Word has been received -from~the rail- road that the engineers were carefully considering the compromise plan, and moun be ready to report upon it withia # week. the situation with a Star reporter today. | mdedededetesedetecndpaecececeteateetectececececeste teeta He said, however, that the Commissioners were striving to arrange the differences between themselves and the ratlroad peo- ple, and he hoped to succeed. “You sev,” he added, “it is like this. The Commissioners’ plan is, of course, ihe one prepared in the interest of the Dis- trict. The railroad plan is plainly one for the good of the railroad. Now, we must both make concessions to get a plan that will recognize the rights ef both the District.and the railroad, and at the same time be satisfactory. I believe this is possible in this compromise plan, and if we all pull together it will not be long before the railroad situation in South Washington will be very much improved.” In the Churghes, Solemn high mass in celebration of the feast of the Holy Trinity was conducted | by Mgr. Sbaretti at St. Aloysius yesterday morning. Mgr. Sbaretti was assisted by Rev. Father Burke, deacon, and Kev. Father Gorman, subdeacon. Rev. M. C. Dolan preached an eloquent sermon. In the afternoon 260 children and adults, an unusual number, were confirmed by Mer. Martinelli, papal legate to the United States. = Mass was celebrated at the District Jali yesterday morning for the first time. Kev. Dr. Conaty, rector of the Catholic Unt- versity, was celebrant, and he administered holy communion to several of the prisoners. Mass has not been said at the jail before on account of the lack of a priest, but since the founding of the Catholic Unt- versity here, and the consequent additions to the priesthood in the city, this difficulty has been overcome, and in all probability mass will be celebrated each Sunday morn- ing in the future. The collections in all the Catholic church- es of the country yesterday were for the pope.~ The day is known as “Peter's Pence day,” and the custom of its observance has come down from time immemorial. The collections are for the purpose of sup- porting the papacy at Rome. During the course of his sermon yes- terday at the Douglas Memorial Church, Rey. John L. Walsh, pastor, made an elo- quent and earnest appeal to his hearers to build a new and larger church editice. Rev. Dr. Gilbert, secretary of the Society for the Religious Education of America, preached at Metropolitan M. E. Churcn yesterday morning, in the absence of the pastor, Rev. Hugh Johnston. The Sunday afternoon meeting at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. was well at- tended. ‘The audience was addressed by Prof. J. Fraise Richard of the Modern Nor- mal College, his subject being “Biblical Pedagogue: The Sharon Baptist streets, South W: school session at Church, Ist and 5 ington, held Sunday ) a.m. yesterday, and elected Deacon S. F, Webb, assistant super- intendent; Albert L. Hawkins, Mrs. Annie Sims, treasurer, and ™ trude Thomas, organist. The superintend- ent was chosen previously. Dr. Laws occu- pled the pulpit at the morning and evening church service. Trinity Sunday was celebratea in Brook- land in both the Episcopal Church of Our Savior and the Catholic Church of St. An- where there were special music and es. At St. Anthony's solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. Dr. H. Hey- vernat, assisted by deacon and subdeacon from the Marist order, and Rev. D. C. De Wulf as master of ceremonies. Rev. Father Smith of the Paulist Fathers deliv- ered an eloquent sermon on the life and work of St. Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of the Brookland parish. The choir sang the “Missa Regia,” by Dumont, with Prof. Carl Burg as organist. Mr. Joseph P. Burg sang as solo “Veni Creator,” Theo. de la Hache, while Mr. sang “O Salutaris,”” by tars were prettily dressed with flowers, as also was the base of the statue of St. An- thony, which stands to the left of the chancel rail. The services at the Church of Our Savior commemorated the two yedts’ occupancy of the church. Rev. J. T. Crowe officiated, while the choir rendered special music. During the services solo work was done by Mr. Albert Jackson, Mrs.Davis, Miss Syd- ney Small, Mr. Davis and Mrs. Isel. In- stead of delivering a sermon Mr. Crowe re- viewed the rapid progress of the parish, the earnest work of the congregation, and showed that the church debt was but $200. The altar was lavishly decorated with palms and flowers. Professor Saltsman conducted the choir, as usual, and the offertory hymn was his work. The Ninth Street Christian Church, Rey. E. B. Bagby, pastor, held its Children’s day exercises June 6. The offering for mis- sions was $83. The service yesterday evening was large- ly attended. The pastor's subject was, “Our Best for God.” There were two con- versions, and six were baptized. The chapel which has been the home of this congregation for six years will soon be torn down, and the construction of the aew edifice will be commenced about July 1. The official board has ordered a tent, with a. seating capacity of over 600, which will be used as a meeting place this sum- ner, and in which evangelistic services will be held as soon as it shall arrive. ——_—_ POST-GRADUATE CADETS. A New Course to Be Established at Annapolis. It has been concluded to establish a post- graduate course at the Naval Academy for cadets intended for assignment to the corps of naval instructors. Orders have been issued to Assistant Naval Constructor Hob- son to report to the Naval Academy for duty in connection with the proposed addi- tional course of study. Cadets DuBose and Eggert, who stood one and two in this year’s graduating class, will probably be ordered to report to him for the proposed new course, which is to cover a term tf two years, at the expiration of which the successful members of the class will be ap- pointed assistant naval constructors. The cadets now studying naval architecture at foreign institutiony have been ordered home, and will be commissioned at once as assistant naval constructors, as that corps is short-handed at present. ——— Quarantine Station Established. Health Officer Woodward has been noti- fled by Surgeon General Wyman of the United States marine hospital service of the establishment of a quarantine station at Alexandria, Va. Dr. Arthur Snowden, formerly of this city, has been appointed quarantine officer, The information was pleasing to the health officer, for now no vessel from a foreign port will be permitted to come here without a bill of health from the officer at Alexandria. Formerly foreign vessels came to this port and had to be given bills of health by the health officer before land- ing. Under the new order of things a vessel with a contagious disease case on board, or from an infected port,. will not be per- mitted to come nearer ‘than Alexandria, when there is the slightest suspicion of danger. ———— Biblical Pedagogics. Prof. J. Fraise Richard, principal of the Modern Normal College, delivered a lec- ture before the Gospel meeting for men at the Y. M. C. A. rooms yesterday afternoon, entitled “Biblical Pedagogics, or the Bible a Text Book in Teaching.” His lecture may be summed up in the proposition all our rational modern systems of teaching,what- ever may be their claims to originality, have their origin and inspiration in the book called the Bible. Some Musical Notes. A musicale was given at the Litchfield Friday evening, when an exceedingly ar- tistic program was presented by Mrs. Daisy L. Fox and her friends, Miss Barrett, Miss Atlee, Miss Muir, Mr. Stathom and Mr. Cohen. Others who contributed numbers were Miss Wood, Miss Dexter and Mrs. Lewis. Mrs. Fox’s playing was artistic, 2s usual, and she also played the accompani- iments effectively. Dancing and supper fol- lowed the program. The last regular meeting of-the Missis- sippians was well attended, and an inter- esting musical program was given. Prof. Myers rendered two piano solos, vocal solo was given by Prof. Shuitz, a violin solo w: played by little Ethel Shafer in a creditable manner, and Mrs. Mary Lita-Parker gave two piano solos.
