Fish and Game Protective Association Receives Congratulations — Game Warden Sylvester on Situation. The decision of the Court of Appeals ren- dered yesterday in the case of local dealers charged with violating the game law, as published in yesterday's Star, is of more than ordinary interest to sportemen, and especially to the members of the societies organized for the protection of game. Mem- bers of the Audubon Society and of the Fish and Game Protective Association are congratulating those who were so actively engaged in the prosecution of the case. The law under which the prosecution was brought provides that “no person shall kill or expose for sale or have in either his or her possession, either dead or alive, any partridge, otherwise called quail, between the Ist day of February and the 1st day of November, under a penalty of $5 for each bird so killed or in possession.” In this case the possession of one bird was charged. The Police Court had held that possession of birds killed in other jurie- dictions was not a violation of the spirit ef the act. But the active members of the Fish and Game Protective Association thought otherwise, and it was decided to have the question finally determined by the Court ef Appeals. Chief Justice Alvey ex- pressed the sentiments of the associaton yesterday when he said: “At no time has there been greater need of such laws and their enforcement than at the present, for it is a known fact that our game and in- sectivorous birds are being rapidly exter- minated.” And added: “The only effectual way of dealing with the subject is to pro- hibit the possession of the birds within the District, and that ts entirely within the power of Congress.” Game Warden's Views. Game Warden Sylvester received congrat- ulations for the association from scores of persons yesterday. Speaking of the de- cision, the game warden said to a Star re- porter this morning: “Those interested in the protection of game in every section of the country should be gratified to know that the District of Columbia cannot be made a market for game taken in other sections of the coun- try in violation of the laws there. “When one steps to consider that it is a step toward preventing the slaughter of thousands of quail and woodcock at times when they are increasing the decision must be heartily indorsed by all good people. Of course, attempts will be made to evade the decision by procuring game from territories where it was killed in their season, but, as I understand it, possession out of the sea- sons named in the District law will be con- strued hereafter as prima facie evidence of violation.” Disappointing to Dealers. The decision was a severe disappointment to the dealers, who confidently expected that it would be favorable to them. Speak- ing of the matter to a Star reporter this morning, one of the dealers said that, while the decision will affect the trade in game for a short period, it will inconvenience customers more than it will injure the Gealers. But they say other markets are open during February and part of March, when the birds are in great demand, and purchasers will have to send away for them. Squab, they say, {s about the only substitute at the season mentioned, ai- though they believe they will be able to substitute tinnamou, which is a South American bird. This bird is a little larger than a quail and smaller than a pheasant. While in the case decided by the Court of Appeals quail was the only bird involved, the law also protects other birds. ee Prize Beauties of Flowerdom.

Numerical Strength of the Several Branches of the Denomination— General and Independent Bodies. Sunday next will be observed as the 414th anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther, the man who 1s regarded by millions of Protestants throughout the world as the greatest reformer produced by the six- teenth century. Luther was born at Eisleben November 10, 1483, but it has been determined by his followers in this country to observe Sunday instead. He was ordained a priest in 1507, and ‘in the following year he removed to Wittenberg. He became a teacher in the new university founded by the Bleoctor Frede-ick of Saxony. In 1509 he became a bachelor of theology, and commenced lecturing on the Holy Scriptures. His lec- tures made a great impression, and the novelty of his views soon began to attract attention. He also engaged in preaching, and his sermons reached a wider audience and produced a more powerful impression than did his lectures. In 1510 or 1511 Luther was sent on a mission to Rome, and on his return was made a doctor of the Holy Scriptures, at which period his career as a reformer may be said to have commenced. He died in 1546. Luther was a voluminous writer of books. Among those best known and of general interest are hi “Table-Talk,” his “Letters and Sermon In 1883 the 400th apniversary of Luther's birth was cele- brated both in Europe and America. Dates Buck to Augsburg. The Lutheran Church began its distinct Listorical life at Augsburg, in Germany, June 25, 1530, when seven evangelical Princes and the representatives of two im- perial cities presented to the emperor, Charles V, a confession of faith which em- bodied the teaching of Luther on the chief articles of the Christian religion. For a long time it was known as the Church of the Augsburg Confession. In the year 1623 some Lutherans came from Holland and settled in New Amster- dam, now New York. Being fewer in num- ber than the reformed organization, they were denied the services of a Lutheran pastor, and were otherwise persecuted. In the year 1688 two ship loads of Swedish Lutherans entered the Delaware, and took up their residence where Wilmington now stands. They brought a pastor with them. They were also the first missionaries to the Indians, having preceded John Eliot several years. About the year 1680 a tide of Lutheran immigration began to flow into this coun- try. Lutheran settlements were formed along the Hudson and in different places in Pennsylvania. Missionary Muhlenberg. In the year 1742 Henry Melchior Muhlen- berg went into Pennsylvania as a mission- ary from Halle. In 1748, with five other Pastors and a few laymen, he organized the first Lutheran synod. Growth was, however, slow, owing to the distractions of two wars, the entire absence of educationai institutions, and the use of a foreign lan- guage, so that by the beginning of the nineteenth century the Lutheran Church in the United States did not contain more than seventy ministers and 25,000 members. In the year 18%) there were five synods, four of which united in forming the general synod. The Lutheran Church now consists of four gereral bodies, independent synods and independent congregations. The gen- eral synod was organized at Hagerstown, Md., in 1821. This body is almost entirely English-speaking. It joins with other Christians in the work of Bible distribution, temperance reform and in Sunday school work. It has 1,046 ministers, 1,441 congre- gations, 165,846 communicants, and, besides conducting a large missionary work in the United States, it has missions in Siberia and in India. The General Council. The second branch of the church 1s Known as the general council, which be- gan its organization at Reading, Pa., in 1866, end completed it at Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1867. It numbers 1,055 ministers, 1,777 congregations, 307,523 communicants. It has many missions at home and a mission Station In India. The third branch is known as ical conference,” or the “the synod- “Missouri Luther- ans,"” because they first located and es- tablisked institutions of learning in Perry cou! nty, Mo. This took place in the year The present organization was formed The body is almost entirely Ger- and holds no ecclesiastical inter- with other Christians, though it course by no means denies that there are true Christians in other denominations. The ministers of this body are as a rule highly educated, possessed of &reat faithfulness in their work, and of ample zeal in the cause of edu jon and missions. The principal institutions of learning controlled by the synodical conference are located at St. Louis, Mo., Springfield, IIL, Fort Wayne, Ind., and Milwaukee, Wis. They are modeled’ chiefly after the gymnasia and uriversities of Germany. They have 1,519 ministers, 165 congregations and 441,- 129 communicants. Fourth Branch of the Church. The fourth branch of the church in the united synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, which was organized at Ruanoke, Va., in 1886, contains 205 ministers, 405 congregations and 36,518 communicants, There are now in existence 61 synods and 4 general bodies. Almost the whole church is in the United States. Includiag @ very small number in Canada, there are 5,470 ‘ministers, 9,283 congregations, 1,327,- 134 communicants. There are 141’ period- icals. representing the English, German, Scandinavian, Finnish and Icelandic Janz guages; 24 theological schools, with 82 in- structors and 684 students; 30 colleges, with 184 instructors and 5,000 students: 48 academies and ladies’ seminaries, and 75 eleemosynary¢institutions, which annually care fer tens of thousands of patients, —_ Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.
