Chigese Funeral Lee Gong’s body was this morning laid to rest for a brief season at Congressional cemetery, it being intended to have it taken up and conveyed to China. The dead man was forty-four years old and was a laundryman. He lived at No. 104 41% street, where he died of consumption two days ago. His death was kept as quiet as possible, for the reason that it is distaste- ful to the Chinamen to have a big crowd of curious people at the grave to see them burn incense and the dead men’s effects 4nd put baked chicken, rice and w'ne upon the mound above the dead. The result was that very few people knew of the funeral arrangements, and the crowd of spectators was small.

Rev. Frank M. Bristob of Evanston, Ill, as heretofore state in The Star, has been invited by the offictal beard of the Metro- politan M. E. Churchiof this city to become the successor of Rev, Hugh Johnston, D.D., when the term of the latter expires next March, and Dr. Bristol has accepted, sub- ject to the approval of’ the bishops. It is probable that Dr. Johnston will be ap- pointed pastor of the First M. B. Church, Baltimore, vice Rev. T. P. Frost, D.D., who is, it is said, to take the pastorate of a leading M. E. church in q northern city. Speaking of the proposed change to a correspondent of The Star, Dr. Bristol said: fe “I expect to continue preaching in the church in Evanston until next March,when, if ‘the bishops concur, I will go to the Baltimore conference. Aithougt I am grea’ ly attached to Evanston, 1 believe duty demands that I should go iwnere I have been summoned. Of course all that has been done is subject to the approval of the bishops, and no change can be made without their sanction. I cormiee it an honor to be called to the Metropolitan Church, which is probably the most promi- nent charge.” Method of Sermonizing. Asked as to his methods in preparing his sermons Dr. Bristol said: “In the first place, I read very exten- sively. I read along all lines. I do not confine myself to theology. My themes are suggested by my reading, again by a paramount occurrence of the day, and again by what I discern to be the topics uppermost in the minds of the people. Then I write my sermons out fully. In the ma- jority of cases I read from my manuscript, but frequently I merely use - extensive notes. I preach both topical and textual sermons. Once in a while in a series of sermons where the subject demands it I read extensively on all lines. If *the sub- ject does not require it, it is simply a mat- ter of compcsition. “{ have no set days or hours ip which to prepare my sermons. I have oftent:mes a number of sermons and texts in my head, which are weeks and months in develop- ing, so, as a rule, when I sit down to write, I write continuously till I fill up my manu- script, even if it takes all night. I greatly prefer to write my sermons clear through in this: manner in the heat of the insptra- tion. I do not begin Sunday or Monday. I usually think of it all week, and sit down Friday or Saturday and write it out. Was Too Easy. “In the beginning of my ministry I spoke extemporaneously, but discontinued it be- cause it was too easy for me. I spoke very impetuously, and used too muny words to express a single idea. I found the cure in writing and reading. I dislike the mem- oriter method, because it seems so like a eclamation that Iacanmot throw myself into it as I would wishjand I cannot take advantage of any thoughts which come on the wing. Then anather advantage of the written sermon is the possibility of veri- fying one’s statements® If one is mis- quoted, he can always: fall back on his inanuscript. Again, by writing, one is much more apt to study the subject pay not depend merely on the gift of cauree Say sometimes that. there are only th: Ways of preaching-frem memory, from manuscript and from vacuity. “I do not depend on ayclopedias of anec- dotes for illustrations, But get them from my. daily association with men, from na- ture, science,-histosy, art and-the books I am reading. Oceasighally d speak on topics of the day, getuigs therefnom my title.

I frequently deal with such prob- lems of young people as the*kind of litera- ture to read, amusements, temperance, and, in fact, all similar subjects of vital im- portance to the rising generation. I also frequently treat great . religio-political themes in the evening discours: Scotch-English Ancestry. Dr. Bristol was born in Orleans county, New York, in 1851. Both lines of his an- cestry were Scotch and English. In 1870 he entered the Northwestern University, at Evanstown, Ill., with the view jo prepare for the ministry. He graduated in 1877 with the degree of bachelor of philosophy. Since then his alma mater has conferred upon him the honorary degrees of master of arts and doctor of divinity. He is a trustee of Northwestern University and of Garrett Biblical Institute. Mr. Bristol early gained high rank as a lecturer, writer and publicist. He has given courses of lectures before Allegheny College and Boston University. He was a member of the commitiee of arrangements on the parliament of religions. In the pul- pit he is earnest, logical and eloquent, hav- ing attained a reputation which places him in the forefront of noted clergymen. His devoted pastoral labors and winsome per- sonal traiis have made him a favorite and greatly endeared him to his congregations. He has been three times a delegate to the general conference, at the -last two being the leader of his delegation. - eee A Washington Boy's Success. Mr. Harris W.

A large audience assembled at the Uni- versalist Church last night to hear the violoncello and piano recital given by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lent, assisted by Miss Lucia Nola, soprano. The audience was not only a large one, completely filling the church, but it was appreciative in the ex- treme, and several encores were responded to. The program was chosen with skill, and the numbers gave Mr. Lent ample op- portunity to show his skill on his chosen instrument, as well as affording Mrs. Lent the ckance to display her proficiency on the piano. The recital was opened with Rubinstein’s sonata for ‘cello and piano, which Mr. and Mrs. Lent played with fine effect. It was given in its entirety, and Rroved to be the most attractive feature of the evening. Mr. Lent also played the cavatiaa from the “Queen of Sheba,” Cui’s “Cantabile” and Napravnik’s “‘Berceuse, Saint Saens’ “Le Cygne” and a_ gavotte by Fopper, as well as playing the ‘cello obligato in a vocal number. In aM of these Mr. Lent’s ability as a ‘cello artist was plainly apparent, in one bringing out his Sweetness of tone, in another his power of interpretation and in still another demon- strating his executive skill on the instru- ment.Mrs. Lent’s efforts on the plano were received with every mark of appreciation. She played Chaminade's “La Lisonjera”’ and “Calirrhoe,” the Schubert-Liszt ar- rangement of the “Serenade,” Mr. Lent’s “Two Meditations” and Liszt's Polonaise’ in E major. Mrs. Lent’s work sparkled with brilliancy and life as well as sweet- hess of tone. Miss Nola sang “My Mar guerit an old French song; Godard’ “Love” and Thomas’ “A Summer Night,’ being accompanied by Mr. Lent, except in the last aamed, when he played the ’cello obligato. —_—>———_. Suggestion for Thanksgiving Day. If the interests of a worthier and more general observance of the religious services of Thanksgiving day, and for the conven- jence of housekeepers and servants and of those who desire to devote a part of the day to the usual holiday recreations, Rev. Frank Sewall appeals to the churches to fix the hour of service on that holiday at 10 o'clock, instead of 11 a.m., and asks his brother clergymen to aid him in making this change on Thanksgiving cay, the 25th. —_—=. Late Theater Goers. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have read two articles in The Star; one on the theater hat and the other about gen- ulemen going out between the acts. Now, I would like you to pay attention to the “late comers;” that is, those who come after the first act is half over, thereby dis- turbing the entire audience. This is worse than either of the two evils already spoken of. It would be a good rule for managers to establish that all those coming in after the first act has begun must stand in the back until the act is over. Every one knows that the theaters begin generally at 8 o'clock, and not 8:30. I, HERMAN. 2a Mr. Clum’s Lecture.

Detective Weedon was the complaining Witness today in the Police Court against four white men, Frank Thompson, William H. Turner, Thomas Clark and Israel Her- sey, arraigned before Judge Scott, as sus- Picious characters. “I arrested these men last evening on Pennsylvania avenue,” stated thé detec- tive. “Thompson is a professional thief, and we had him locked up during the in- avuguration period last March. At that time he had a gang with him and he is so equip- p& this time. Thompson usually works stores. He is a sneak thief, and a good one. These other men are rooming with him in a house on Missourt avenue. His scheme is to peddle goods in stores. He engages the attention of the proprietors or clerks while the gang does the stealing. “The last time he did any work in this cit continued Detective Weedon, “he sreaked a whole case of razors from a store at 7th and I streets, and sold them at Jack- son City. Thompson's picture is in the rogues’ galleries of all the large cities.” Thompson told the court that he made a mistake eight or nine years ago, and had been trying to get on his feet ever since, but it seems, he said, he is unable to do so. He was trying to earn an honest living, he said, peddling blotting paper and pa: The other men declared that they “were innocent of any wrongdoing. They met Thompson at Benning, they sald, and con- sented to assist him in’ peddling the blotting Paper. Judge Scott, in disposing of the matter, sent Thompson to the workhouse for ninety days, Hersey for sixty days, Clark for send tons) and he discharged Turner from custody. Thompson made an earnest plea to be per- mitted to leave the city at once, but with- out avail. Another group of suspicious characters was arrested last evening at the Baltimore and Ohio depot by Detective Hartigan and Policemen Horn and Gordon of the sixth precinct. They gave their names as Fred Mcody, Henry L. Marshall and Louis Row- land. According to Detective Hartigan, Moody is a well-known pickpocket, and it was charged the trio was endeavoring to work the crowd. Judge Scott sent Moody to the workhouse for ninety days, Marshall for thirty days and Rowland for 120 day: Ss Travelers’ Protective Association.
