Large Attendance and Much Interest Shown in the Service: Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 10, 189. Yesterday was “rest” day in camp, though not in the sense of being “at ease in Zion.’ That the spiritual fervor had suffered no diminution was evinced by the unusual number that attended upon the services of the tabernacle, but a certain weariness of the flesh and indisposition to physical exertion was epidemic, and a beatific stillness was upon the camp. Rev. J. W. Harris preached a restful, uplifting sermon to the morning congregation, and the interest in the chiidren’s service, as led by Mrs. Roach, was earnest and absorbing. Elder L. B. Wilson occupied the desk at 3 o'clock p.m. and spoke with unction to Christians, urging them to personal purity of life. Theme, “Snow Thyself a Pattern of Good Works. At the conclusion of this service, the visiting committee reported, and varied and unique were the accounts of the receptions tendered them in their canvass of the encampment. To their sur- prise they encountered antagonism to the Methodist plan of saving souls. The won- der is that people of such strict denomina- tional Imitation and strong prejudices would knowingly select a Methodist camp ground as a summer home; but there is perfect harmony and oneness of spirit among the habitual population of the Grove, and the selfishness of a few is not permitted to dim the charity and loving fel- lowship of the brethren gathered here to adore their Creator and extend His king- dom among men. Rev. Page Milburn preached a pathetic and inspiring sermon at night, pointing his hearers to “The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world,” John, Ist, 19th verse. The choir sang with unction, and in several re- quests for prayer cheered the heart of the conscientious sower of the word. The solo work of Miss Grace Altschu was a pleasing feature. After the congregation had dis- persed, a young man found his way to the altar and a little band of untiring Chris- tians wrestled with God for his conversion, and the doxology of praise soundéd over the camp as the cottagers retired to their couches for sleep. Dr. Huntley returned to camp today and was heard at the morning service. Rev. Harry France is expected and will occupy the palpit this evening. Rev. H. Clay Smith was among the late ministerial ar- rivals. Mrs. A. E. Gibson, widow of Dr. Gibson, is in attendance upon the camp and is be- ing entertained at the hotel.

Kilgour was - Spencerian College Removes to the Academy of Music. The Spencerian College, which for eleven yeurs past had occupied rooms in the build- ing owned by the National Bank of the Re- public, at the corner of 7th and D streets, has been re-established at the corner of 9th and D streets, in the building now known as the Academy of Music, whence the college management was driven by fire in December, 1886. The corner was then occupied by the Lincoln Hall building, which, after the fire, was rebuilt upon an enlarged and improved plan, so that the return of the college to its old domain is to more desirable quarters than it for- merly held. The destruction of its former home and belongings, described at the time as “a scene of unparalleled magnifi- cence,” has, therefore, proved to be in some respects greatly to its advantage. The college was founded away back in 1864, in the Bank of the Republic bulldlug, and, after the destruction of Lincoln Hall, the management was invited to again make its home there, and the invitation was ac- cepted at once. Later, upon the comple- tion of the Academy of Music, Mr. and Mra, Spencer, the former having since died, were tendered the use of 10,000 square feet in the building, finished to their own lik- ing, if they would return. It is understood this proposition was not accepted solely because of protests made by the parents of the students. The building had been afire four times, and at last was burned to ashes. Mrs. Spen- cer and her daughter-in-law had been as- phyxiated and were rescued only by almost miraculous intervention, and there was a decided prejudice egainst a return to the scene of so much disaster. Mrs. Spencer said today to The Star that when she returned from the N. E. A. as- sembly, at Milwaukee, recently, and learn- ed that in a few days the Bank of the Re- Public would cease to exist and the build- ing be offered for sale, she exclaimed to her- self: “Homeless again! A cyclone drove us from 7th and L streets, fire from 9th and D, and now this building is to be sold to ‘Heaven knows whom!” Starting on a tour of investigation, she said, she found the former home of 1881-86 labeled “For rent.” < “Would the syndicate renew its proposi- PROCESSION OF THE ERRING Husbands, Wives and Sweethearts Review- Deputy Clerk Harper, in line. ed in the Police Court.

The post office, which was handsome’ decorated with flags in honor of the event, has been conveniently arranged by the postmaster, Mr. W. R. Van Horn The mass meeting was orgapized by the election, on motion of Mr. W. McKendree Clayton, of Mr. W. F. Walsmith #s chair- man and Mr. George McElwee as secretary. After some preliminary matters were at- tended to resolutions were adopted by an unanimous vote extending the thanks of the citizens of Brightwood Park to the Post Office Department, and to Fourth As- sistant Postmaster General Bristow in par- ticular, for the kind and courteous treat- ment accorded the citizens and their com- mittee in their visits to the department during the late contest over the post office a of site, and to Representative McDon Maryland, and to the press of the Dis A New Association. After music by the Mount Pleasant Band, which also discoursed a number of popular airs during the evening, Mr. Clayton made an interesting address, in the course of which he gave a history of the efforts made by the people of the neighborhood to Secure the present location of the post office and recommended the organization of an association to be known as the Bright- wood Park Citizens’ Association, whose aim it would be to secure one fare for a rail- way ride from Brighitwood to the center of Washington, better paved streets, a system of sewerage, and so forth. Col. Daniel Ramey spoke on the growth of Brightwood Park during the last twen- ty-five years, and dwelt especially on the necessity of securing lower car fares into the city in order to guarantee the future Prosperity of the settlement. Dr. ©. G. Stone complimented the citizens on what they had secured and urged them to more cautiously consider the matter of forming a new association or doing any- thing to hamper the railroad company. Addresses were also made by Mr. W. McK. Clayton, sr., and Mr. E. L. Tolson. A large number of these present gave in their names as charter members of the Propored Brightwood Park Citizens’ Asso- ciation, and it was announced that a meet- ing for the election of officers will be held one evening this week. < ———__ THE NAVAL MILITIA. Assistamt Secretary Roosevelts De- tatled Report of His Inapection. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has made a detailed report of iis inspection of the raval militia of New York and the lake states. “The different bodies of naval militia show,” he sa: “very unequal develop- ment toward the proper standard of pro- ficiency. Some have been only organized; others, for various reaso: have made less rapid progress than they should. Nevertheless, as a whole, I was very great- ly impressesd by the progress the naval militia have made. They displayed note- worthy zeal, energy, perseverance and it telligence, and as a result they already ferm a body of men who would play an important part in the defense of tie coun- try if we were to become involved in war with any foreign power. Of course, the backbone of this defense, so far as the high seas and our coast works are con- cerned, must always be the regular n “Fortunately we now have at least the beginning of a navy such as this country needs in order that it may take the posi- tion to which it is entitled among the ni lions of the earth; and, though our navy falls far short of what ts should be in point of numbers, especially of battle ships and torpedo boats. yet the ships we have are as good of their kind as are to be found anywhere (and this is especially true, I would parenthetically remark of our ar- mor), and the officers and men who man them need not fear a comparison with the officers and men of any foreign navy. Nevertheless, good though our ships are, and exceliently though they are handled by the officers and crews who man them, both ships and men are too few for our needs. In men we are particularly short. In the event of war we should not be abie to man all of our ships, not to speak of manning the auxiliary cruisers which we would desire to put in commission. Need of a 3 “The rapidity with which modern w: are decided renders it imperative to have men who can be ready for immediate use, and outside of the regular navy these men are only to be found in the naval militia of the various states. It is to be hoped that in the future we shall be able to or- ganize a genuine naval reserve apart from the naval militia, but at present it is the latter who themselves furnish the only available organized reserve, and not the least valuable of the services they would perform in the event of sudden outbreak of war would be acting as a nucleus round which immediately to assemble the men needed. “Most of the naval militia are now in condition to render immediate services of a very valuable kind in what may be called the second line of defense. They couid operate signal stations, help handle tor- pedoes and mines, officer and man auxil- lary cruisers, and assist in the defense of points which were not covered by the army. There are numbers of advance bases which do not come under the present scheme of army post defense, and which would have to be defended, at any rate during the first weeks of war, by bodies of naval militia; while the knowledge they get by their incessant practice in boats on the local waters would be invaluable. Fur- thermore, the highest and best trained bodies could be used on board the regular ships of war, and this applies to the mili- iia of the lakes as well as to the militia of the seacoast—and certainly no greater tribute is necessary to pay to the lake militia. “lam aware that this statement will seem very surprising to those who are un- acquainted with the progress that has been made by certain battalions of the naval militia, but I am so thoroughly con- vinced of its truth that I shall recommend that next year the experiment be made of giving a couple of our gunboats of the Bennington and -Machias, or, possibly, even of the Detroit class, one to a specially selected battalion from the coast and one to a specially selected battalion from the lakes for their annual sea practice. The captain and executive officer and naviga- tor would be kept on board. It might also be that the engineers would have to be kept aboard, as it is apparently only among the 2d Illinois Battalion on the upper Mis- sissippi that any special effort has been made to develop machinists, who could be immediately used on board war ships. “In conclusion, I vould like to call atten- tion to the fact that in most of the organi- zations there is urgent need for more lib- eral appropriations by the state authorities. The good effect of such a lMberal policy is shown in both Massachusetts and New York. Unless the general government is aided by the states it makes it very diffi- cult to bring the organizations up to the this has to be divided.” ns ‘The Torpedo Boat Fiotilia.
