MALT EXTRACT MAKES PEOPLE STRONG IN THE CHURCHES Some of the local Episcopalians evince great interest in an effort that is being made in the adjoining diocese of Maryland to raise funds to prosecute the mission werk there. In that diocese what are known as junior auxiliaries have been or- ganized. These are composed of young girls and are affiliated with the Woman's Missionary Society. At the request of Bishop Paret each member of the auxiliary contributes one cent a week for the work in the diocese. It is stated that in south- ern Maryland, which is a part of the dio- cese of Washington. there is a great field for mission werk. There are large num- bers of persens in that section, it is said, who never kear a sermon from one year’s end to another. Fresent inéications scon be noticeable re: are that there will Its from the recent meeting of the joint Methodist commission in this city, and it is believed the Methodist Ep'scopal Church and the Methodist Epis- coral Church South will in th everywhere unite directicn of providing adequate re- s for the education in that faith of of Methodist parents. The Meth- odist periodicals, both north and south, are rly unanimously in favor of the propo- on, and in some quarters it is believed, if the forces of the two churches unite upon this issue, it will be an opening for union along other lines. Mention’ was made in The Star of last week that a movement had been started > endowment of the parish of the and in this connection a letter 1 this week from Philadeiphia states n endowment of $600,000 was raised for a church in that city.. Some time since the church building of the same name in Philadelphia was sold by its vestry to Mr. Jchn Wanamaker. The reasons for the sale were the encroachment of business and the proximity of at least four other places of the same denomination. The question of what to do with the income of this endowment has been the topic of many conferences. The plan of making a great institutional down-town church has been discussed, and also the erection of a cathe- dral, with the interest of the fund as a nucleus, but nothing has been determined so far. A gentleman who has seen a copy of the va report of the Baptist Publication which will be presented at the convention, which is to be orfolk in May, says that it shows that the past year has been the most pros- perous in its history. This society began work in a very small way in Washington in 1824, but two years later removed to Philadelphia, where it hus been located ever since. The work of the society is divided into two parts—mtssion- ary and publishing. The circulation in the publishing department reaches about 40,- 000,000 copies annually. The society has just opened in “Philadelphia new headquar- at a cest of “$i branches in Bostoa, New cao, St. Louis, Atlanta and Dallas. The income of the society from all sources is about | 31,250,000 a year. The society holds funds to the value of nearly $600,000, almost all invested in first mortgages and a smail part in _raflr bonds. The membership of the denomination is about 3,500,000, of whom 2,000,000 are in the south. Readers of The Star will recall that some time since mention was made that the Publication scciety had had four railway cers built for the purpose of affording church services to persons in different parts of the country where there are no church edifices. A fifth chapel car has now been completed at a cost of:$7,500, and it will shertly be dedicated. The money to pay for this car was contributed by seventy- five ladies, each of whom gave $100. It is centemplated to build a sixth car, the mcpey for it being raised by young men of the denomination. It is regarded as an im- Pertant fact that railroads in the east, as well as those in the west, haul these cars free of cost and sidetrack them as often as may be desired. Never has there been a refusal from any company either to haul these cars or to permit the use of the tracks while the car is used as a chapel. The society considers the cars about as im- portant for the distribution of literature as for the holdirg of meetings. A ladies’ auxiliary to the Knights of St. John has been organized in Holy Name parish, and already has a strong member- ship. Officers have been elected as follows: Spiritual director, Rev. Father Carey; pres- ident, Mrs. Belle Robey; first vice presi- dent, Miss Mollie Kent; second vice presi- dent, Miss Kate Riley; recording and cor- responding secretary, Miss May Thyso: firancial secretary, Miss Hannah Long; treasurer, Miss Margaret Burns; guard, Miss Mamie Curan; messenger, Miss Callle Collins; trustees, Mrs. Anna L. Waite, Mrs. Kate Condon, Mrs. Maggie Lusby, Miss Jes ‘Brien and Miss Mamie Dooley. The objects of the society are intellectual, so- cial and beneficial. Cardinal Gibbons will administer confir- mation at St. Augustine's Church ne week from tomorrow. The third of a series of Sunday avening sermons on “Prophecy” and “The Lord's Return” will be given by Pastor Charles G. ok at the People’s Tabernacle, 11th street tween G and I streets, tomorrow evening. The theme will be “The Millennium.” Evangelist Peter Ainslie of Baltimore and Rev. E. G. Bagby, past@¥ of Ninth Street Christian Church, are“holding a two weeks’ meting at the latter place. There was in- augurated Sunday last in this church the first evangelistic service since the com- pletion of the present house of woiship. Sermons are delivered each 2vening by Mr. Ainslee. Services are also held each week day at 2 p.m., at which solos are rendered by various sing2rs. Each evening there is a song service by a large choir, directed by the choirmaster, Mr. Henry Brewood. A few evenings ago there was held in the Sunday school room of the church a unique entertainment called a “Konundrum Kon- test and Kurio Kompetition.” Souvenirs were given for the best original and select- ed conundrum. A character impersonation by a young man and a Grecian drill by twelve little girls delightad the audience. After the services refreshments were serv- ed in the banquet hall of the church. A special s2rmon was preached in Em- manuel Church, Anacostia, Sunday evening last by Rev. Mr. Paddock, assistant at St. John’s Church, Washington. The service Was under the auspices of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, which has inaugurated and is conducting a series of sermons. ‘The next in the series will be preached by the réctor of the parish, Rev. Mr. Davenport, tomorrow evening on the “One Thing Lack- ing Sunday afternoon last Rev. Dr. Crum- mell, formerly rector of St. Luke’s Church, Washington, preached to a large congrega- tion in Emmanuel Chapel, Hillsdals, a mis- sion of Emmanuel Church.

The East- on Literary Association, a body of young men in this church, contemplates discuss- ing at meetings to be commenced gt an early date questions that are of great in- terest to the young men in the Distrt A mass meeting of the District W.

The principal address will be de- livered by Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brook of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, wkose theme will be “Lessons From the Life of General Neal Dow.” At the close of the exercises proper, the matter of clearing off the debt of the headquarters of the National W. C. T. U. at Chicago will be brought before the meeting, wita the hope tl.at thoss present will contribute toward that purpose. It is said that the audience will also be asked to express their views as to the advisability of changing the name of the headquarters to Willard Temple, as a memorial to the late Frances E. Willard. Z Much interest fs felt in one of the lead- ing Baptist churches of this city regarding a proposition which ‘has been made to abolish the renting of pews and establish “free sittings.” The question of how far a pewholder really controls a pew is a subject which has been widely discussed, and one of the most prominent members of the church in conversation said: “A pewholder acquires only what has been called a limited usufructuary interest, subject to the general right of the society. He has no title to the edifice or freehold, but a mere right of occupancy during the service of worship. He has, -however, the exclusive right to the possession and en- jcyment of the pew for the purposes of public worship by virtue of an individual right of property derived in theory, at least, frora the corporation represented by the trustees who are seized and possessed of the temporalities of the church. All pew owners hold and possess their seats in severalty in subordination to the more general right of the trustees in the -scil and freehold. These rights are distinct and separate, and do not necessarily con- flict with each other. A lease in perpetuity of a pew confers only a right to the use of the pew during divine service, and the lessee takes his title in subordination to the more general right of the trustees, and always subject to the right and power of the trustees to repair and alter the church building, and if in the making of alterations and repairing the pew is necessarily de- stroyed, the pewholder is not entitled to an action of trespass or ejectment.” Wednesday evening the regular monthly meeting of the Church Temperance So- ciety, First Congregational Church, was held, at which a large number were pres- ent. Captain Johnson, an ex-saloon keeper of Indianapolis, Ind., but ‘now an ardent supporter of the Anti-Saloon League of this city, delivered an address. Next Monday evening the annual meet- ing of the Congregational Club will be held in the church parlor, followed by a ban- quet. Papers will be read by Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens, Mrs. Hamilton and Miss Warman; recitations by Miss Merrifield. Music will be furnish- ed by the Ladies’ Quartet, under the di- rection of Dr. Bischoff. Rey. William Duncan, who has done good work of civilization among the Indians of Alaska, several years ago was compelled to leave British Columbia, and moved over to American territory valuable industries and property, and he is now here trying to secure protection for it from the gov- ernment. He leaves the city Monday. He will speak for the last time in this city at the Church of the Covenant tomorrow af- ternoon. The Fifth Congregational Church, Rev. Adam Reoch, pastor, recently established a branch at Tuxedo, a small subdivision in Maryland beyond Benning. That they have a good Sabbath school and a build- ing to worship in is said to be due princi- pally to the labors of Rev. B. N. Seymour, formerly pastor of the Fifth Church. Bishop John M. Walden of Cincinnati, who is soon to leave for Europe, will preach at Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church tomorrow morning and in the evening at Wesley Chapel, corner 5th and F streets northwest. Bishop Wal- den will spend about two years in Europe in visiting various conferences of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church. . ART AND ARTISTS. The focal studics have presented scenes of unusual activity during the past week, as the artists are straining every nerve to give their exhibition pictures those finish- ing touches which often add so much to the harmony or effectiveness of a paint- ing. The works to be entered for the spring exhibition of the Society of Wash- ington Artists must be sent to the gallery, 1020 Connecticut averue, on Monday be- tween 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. The number of centriputions one artist may exhibit is lmited to six, and, as was the case last year, works in oll, pastel, sculpture and miniature will be admitted. To accommo- date some of the members who do little or no work in color, the society has this year added burnt Wood decoration and black and white to the list of eligible me- ditms. A private view of the exhibition will be given on Saturday, April 2, and the gallery will be open to the public from the 4th to the 30th of April. Washington has been much favored this year in the way oz exhibitions, and the two large April ex- hibitions, aided by a goodly number of smaller displays, promise to bring the un- usually interesting season to a brilliant cicee. * x * On Saturday last Mr. Dunbar visited Priladelphia in order to personally super- intend the finishing work on a bronze cast of the bust which he made of Commodore Isherwood during his recent stay in New Yerk. The portrait was so successfully modeled and gave such general satisfac- tion that a second cast has already been made, and a third is now under way at the foundry. Mr. Dunbar has recently started a figure of a Seminole Indian girl, the figura being part of a group which is to be exhibited in the government building at the Omaha exposition. In the group, which represents a typical scene in the Seminole domestic life, women are shown in the act of pounding corn. ‘The bust of Mr. Alexander Grahem Bell, which Mr. Dunbar has almcst completed, will rank among his best thirgs. The portrait has been modeled in a vigorous, decisive man- ner, that is well’suited to the strong sculp- turesque character of the head, and the re- sult has been most satisfactcry. xo x * A collection of water colors by Paul de Longpre is now the attraction at Veer- hoft’s, and his eminence as a painter of flowezs has drawn many visitors to the gal- lery. To the study of flowers, to them alone, Mr. de Longpre has given his whole life, and he does not scorn the megnest flower that blows, but lavishes upon the humble fleld flowers the same skill that he spends upon the most superb orchids. In his coloring he rivals nature, and his draw- ing shows an equal fidelity, the product of @ very wide botanical knowledge. His ac- xe — Portraiture is also claiming Mrs. An- drews’ attention, and shi has just finished @ very lifelike head of Dr. Dickinson's wife. By those who have sen it, it is con- sidered an excellent likeness, and Mrs. An- drews has united in the Work a pleasing quality cf color with i drawing. She has carried the iCsomewhat far- ther thaa usual, and in the lace work of the dress; as well as inthe face the details have been painted more minutely than is her custom. Mrs. is busy upon portraits of a number of » Hornsby’s ancestors. it 4 a b -* In the large collection of water colors now on’ view at Fischer's the variety of the pictures are the product of many dif- ferent schools. The Dutch painters are strongly represented by such men as Israels, who is seen to good advantage in “The Knitter;” Blommers, Kever, Poggen- serious work in the exhibition’ is con- tributed by the Dutch sckocl, though there is some strong work by, English painters, the collection including pictures by Turner, Landseer, Birket Foster, etc. Attractive water colors by French and Italian paint- ers give the exhibition a still more miscel- laneous character, and pictures by a num- ber of American water colorists are also included. 7 x * Spencer Nichols 1s planning to send as his main contribution to the spring exhibi- tion a large portrait of his mother, that has been claiming his best skill for sev- eral weeks. He is fond of experimenting with new effects, and with new methods of handling, and, as is often the case with his work, this canvas will come as some- thing of a surprise. He has chosen a rather subdued effect of light and shade, but has, in spite of this, given the face an im- mense amount of strength. The likeness of Dr. Daly is another striking portrait now in his studio, and the head is not only drawn with great simplicity and breadth, but 1s very pleasing in color. Among the best of the black and white studies that he has made recently is a rainy night im- pression seen in front of the Lafayette Square Theater. z x Walter Paris’ exhibition, which has been held in the ample room of the society’s gal- lery, on Connecticut avenue, closes with this week. Many persons have been rather surprised to find among his water colors so many decorative flower subjects, yet the fact is that Mc. Paris has achieved con- siderable success as a flower painter, about thirty of his paintings of this class having been purchased by the South Kensington Museum. He shows many English scenes, and is at his best in his architectural sub- jects, while he is rarely as fortunate in his pure landscapes. A number of the lat- ter, however, are very good, as one which shows a very large old tree, knotty and moss-covered, which is one of the best things of its kind. Then he has a scene in Sussex of fields and rolling hills, sweep- ing as far as the eye can reach, in which he has succeeded in giving an indescribable effect of largeness. It is not alone that his distance is good, but the picture gives the sensation of freedom of the open air. ™ Mr. Jules Dieudonne® like many of the other artists, is spending most of his time on the work which he ii expecting to send to the soclety’s exhibition’next month. One of the things he fs finisHing“up-for that pur- pose fs an oriental head’ with braided hair— a very peculiar thing; but most people will probably find more pleasure:in his outdoor subject, a little twilight geene along the river, which was menticréd a few weeks ago. There are several other things in the studio that are capable of being worked up with good effect, amd Mr: Dieudonne may. also gend some of thesex-»{ * ae ae When the government’ report of the seal commission is published“tt will probably contain a number of “drawings “made by Bristow Adams, a ‘yourig’ Washingtonian at Leland Stanford’ Untyersity, who was the artist of the commission in Alaska last summer. These drawings argnot only val- uable for the accuracy which is required in scientific work, but are also excellent from an artistic standpoint. There is very good technique in several life-sized seal heads, in which the pen work gives a most vivid Suggestion of the texture of the fur, and one finds, moreover, that the faces are full of expression, almost of character. Some of Mr. Adams’ subjects would, of course, be more interesting to the scientist than to any one else, but others have a detided ar- tistic quality, as his drawing of an out- cast seal, all scarred by the marks of the many fights in which he has been worsted, @ pathetic figure in its isolation, with the simple yet effective drawing of the lagoon in which the seals were captured and pen- ned up. * « * From the 21st to the 26th Mr. Le Grand Jornston will hold an exhibition of his Faintings at his studio, 715 19th street. Visitors will find on the walls sketches in oil and water ccior, as well as the more carefully studied work produced in the studio from memoranda acquired during the summer. In Mr. Johnston's hands the simplest subj@iet cften takes on an artistic charm, as one sees in the truthful study of a picturesque bit in one of the yards adjoining the studio. The flats which are no great distance from his studio seem profoundly uninteresting to many, but it is right there that Mr. Johnston’s trained eye nas caught many a nice atmospheric effect, as seen in several very agreeable compositions. Among his more important pictures one may mention the group of calves standing around a watering trough in the striking stable interior, and a view of a New England road, that has a very nice atmosphere and outdoor effect. * Mrs. Colburn, whose" work since she es- tablished her studio in Takoma Park, is rot seen so often as formerly, has placed on view in the Corcoran Gallery loan ex- hibit room a recently painted portrait, in oils, of the late Justice Miller of the United States Supreme Court. It represents the distinguished jurist the size of life, three- quarter length, seated, and attracts consid- erable attention, both for the interest the public has ia the subject and the excellent manner in which it illustrates the artist’s skill in portraiture. . * The last of Miss" Dorothy Duty Jones’ course of art lectures Was given on Wed- nesday at the "home of Mra. Elkins on K street. The subject, “American Art at the New Library,” has, of gourse, a speolall; intimate interest for ‘Wiashingto and though differing widely:from the topics of the previous lectures, was from an equally appreciative standpoint. i From the London Times. >, beck and Valkenberg.

IME, THE GREAT leveler, has played many cruel pranks with noble European lies, and the lordly race which in one century hag risen to hignest honor and vast possessions, may, in the next, be driven back by fate into the lowest strata of society. The year 1808 has just shown om us Lord William Ne- ville (son of the English. Marquis of Aber- { Savenny and direct descendant of the great “King Maker” Warwick), a convicted f=lon, entering upon his term of imprisonment at Wormwood Scrubs.

His father is a Knight of the Garter (England’s highest decoration), his scns may descend to any level in the scale of society. Many old British titles are today found in curious places. Far away in Hindostan there is a lonely little village, Munowta by name. The head man of this petty settle- ment is a swarthy half-breed, whose cight- ful name and style, as admitted by the clerk of the house of lords,-is “The Right Hcnorable Lord Gardner, Baron Gardner in the peerages of the united kingdom and of Thetan Lord Gardner’s immediaie ances- ters, having lost their estate, went © to India, where they intermarried with di ky Hindu maidens, 2mbraced Brat ard founded an Eurasian line of pe present baron has the right to take in the house of lords, but, ©: prefers to b2 chief magist: in tiny Mu- nowta, to remaining a titled noaentity in England. Tides in Strange Places. In Maryland resides a country physician and small farmer, who prefers to be known as “Dr. John C. Fairfax.” But in reality he is “The Right Honorable John Contee Fairfax, Eleventh Lord Fairfax,” and a descendant of the famous Lord Fairfax, who commanded the Puritan forces in the English civil war. The great estates once owned by the Fairfax family in England Passed out of their hands when the elder branch died out at the end of the last cen- tury. Today little but the barren title re- mains to this English-American peer. Lord Fairfax’s brother and predecessor in th berony was better known as Charles Fair- fax, one time clerk to the legislature of California.

The present Earl of Aberdeen, gov2rnor general of Canada, may not be Earl of Aberdeen, after all. At any moment his elcer brother and pred2cessur in the title, may put in an appearance. ‘Pais earl was a wild, wayward lad, who went to sea and has never been heard of since. Ten Brit- ish courts, after waiting a certain length of time, allowed his brother to claim the title and estates by default. There has never been, however, any absolut2 proof of the late earl’s death. In the same way the death of the Archduke Johann of Austria, who went to sea under the name of “John Orth,” has never been proy “The present Earl of Buchan, before suc- ceeding to the title, was a groom and cccasional jockey; while the ninth Earl of Seafield, while actually in possession of his title, was forced to earn a livitig in New Zealand as a “hedger and ditch- er.” For years this nobleman’s weekiy wage rarely rose above a few shillings. Eventually he was appointed bailiff in a little backwoods court of justice. An Organ Grinding Viscount. Viscount Hinton, son and heir of the Earl of Winchelsea and Nottingham, grinds a piano organ through the streets of London and Brighton, with a large Placard asking for alms. He takes this course in order to spite his father, who has disowned him; and, while public curiosity concerning him was rife, he man- aged to earn a good living. Nowadays, he is said to be so wretchedly poor that the piano organ has been pawned. The present Earl of Caithness, head of the great house of St. Clair, was born the son of an Aberdeen bank employe of small means. His father sent him to the United States, and for he “punched cattle” in Idaho. Eventually, in 1890, his father succeeded a far-cff cousin in the earldom; and—hey, p1 pass!—plain “Jack Sinclair, cowboy,” came Viscount Berriedale, and heir to one of the oldest of Scotch peerages. Within twelve months after his return from Idaho his father’s death made him Earl of Caitnness. The son and heir of an English earl, and himseif a viscount by courtesy, is at: the present writing working in a’ stable in the Boer repubiic. He holds a sub- ordinate position among the grooms, where nis knowledge of horses (acquired dur- ing his captaincy in a “crack” cavalry regiment) stands him in good stead.
