ROLL OF DEAD PATRIOTS Memorial Services Held by G. A. B. at Gun- ton Temple Church, Address by Dr. A. S. Fiske, Pastor of the Church — The War With Spain. Memorial services were held last night at the Gunton Temple Church, under the auspices of Kit Carson Post, G. A. R. The church was appropriately ‘decorated with the national colors. Many veterans were in the audience, and cfficers of the post cecupled seats in the pulpit. The services were begun by the singing of “America,” which was followed by read- ings from the Scriptures and invocation by Chaplain E. C. Stevens. Commander G. W. Callahan spoke of the war with Spain, and Miss Irma G. Calla- han sang “The Soldier's Dream.” At intervals during the reading of the roll of deceased comrades who have passed away since the last annual meeting the qvartet sang “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” and at the conclusion of the reading by Adjutant C. F. Keefer, Mr. George A. Prevost sang ‘The Roll Call.” Rev. Dr. A. S. Fiske, pastor of the church, delivered the address of the even- ing. He paid a high tribute to the vet- erans of 1861. He then turned from that conflict to the present war with Spain. The Stain of Blood. Dr. Fiske said in part: “For 400 years, wherever the foot of Spain has touched a plot of God’s earth, she has left a blight and a stain of blood. Four hundred years ago she was the proudest and one of the most powerful nations of the earth. Upon the brow of her king rested tre diadem of the Roman empire, and she swayed the destinies of Europe, while five-sixths of the western hemisphere was included in her posses- sions. When Great Britain defeated her proud armada, and after seventy years of battling before the dykes of Holland, Spain turned her mailed hand upon her own people. With the slaughtering whip of the inquisition she dried up the sources ef her own prosperity, and since then has been on the decline. ‘Cube has always been in revolt against the domination of Spain. The few y2ars of p have been but incidents in her history. The last three years have been characterized by the utmost horror and torture and by measures of warfare never dreamed of in the bottomless pit of hell. Our President and our people have been insulted by Spanish representatives, anu tly, our good ship, with 266 American sailors, has been sent to the muddy bot- tom of Havana harbor. “But all this was not a cause for war.

NEGLECTED DEAD Movement to Createia Fund for Protection of Initial Steps Taken) by Union Veteran Legion—Resolutions Adopted and Committee Appointed. ‘The movement to create a fund for the Protection of the graves of the men who were killed in the Matne disasger and now buried at Key West without proper regard for the proprieties, 4s well under way. The disclosures concerning the condition of thes2 graves, recently made, have aroused much feeling among people who “remember the Maine.” It is recognized that the state of affairs 1s unavoidable, under all the cir- cumstances, but that something corrective can be done with a comparatively small effort, while the minds of the citizens are directed toward patriotic affairs. The great difiicuity in such enterprises has always been to find a nucleus for ac- tion, for some person or organization to take the initlative. Locally the matter is of no more moment than it would be to the people of New York, or Kalamazoo, or San Francisco. But the people of Washington always take national interest in all affairs concerning the men who have suffered for country’s sake, and in the present instance the first steps toward securing an appropriate desig- nation for the neglected graves of the Maine dead have been taken in this city. Saturday night, at a fully attended mect- ing of Encampment 69, Union Veterans’ Legion, in this city, the matter was placed upon a definite basis and started toward success. The meeting, which was heid at the hall, 910 Penneylvaztia avenue, develop- ed an unusual amount of enthusiastic in- terest among the members. Resolutions Adopted. Capt. G. A. Lyon presented the follow- ing resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: “Whereas there has been brought to the attention of this encampment, No. 69, Union Veteran Legion, through our com- rade, Major Frank A. Butts, who has re- cently returned from Key West, Fla., the deplorable and sadly neglected condition of the last resting place of the gallant seamen and martyrs of our noble battle ship Maine, so foully murdered by the hands of the Spanish assassins, together with the heroes slain at Cardenas, and who will repose, un- til the final trump shall sound, in the di- lapidated cemetery, known as the Citizens’ cemetery, at Key West, Fla.; and “Whereas we feel it is a duty we owe to these, our honored dead, that proper and suitable attention should be given to pro- tecting as well as beautifying and improv- ing the appearance and condition of the hallowed spot, therefor> be it “Resolved, That an earnest appeal be made to inspire in the hearts of the pa- triotic citizens of our land a disposition to cheerfully and freely contribute toward a fund sufficient and adequate to meet the expense incident to the erection of an iron fence or inclosure around the graves of our naval heroes, the first to fall and shed blood for a holy cause, the freedom of an oppressed and outraged people. “Be it further resolved, That a committee f five be appointed from this encampment to receive said funds so contributed, with directions to turn the same over to such Person or persons as may be designated or selected by the honorable the Secretary of the Navy, and such ‘person or persons so selected or designated as aforesaid shall have full power and authority to make and execute all necessary: and proper arrange- ments to carry out the purposes herein ex- pressed. “Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be «forwarded to ‘The Evening Star, with the request that the same be published in'sald paper, and that the name of each person contributing to- ward said fund and the amounts so contrib- uted be lHkewise ‘published from day to A reselution was also unanimously adopt- ed extending to Major Butts the thanks of the encampment for calling public atten- tion through The Staf to the condition of the graves. Committee to Receive Funds, After this action the encampment ap- pointed as committees to take charge of the matter the following members of the or- ganization; Capt. Gideon A. Lyon, chair- man; Col. M. J. Foote, W. W. Brown, audi- tor for the War Department; Col. Luke Kelly and Major Frank A. Butts. Major Butts was designated secretary and treas- urer of the committee, and will receive such contributions as may ‘be sent. Contributions are already beginning to come in from outside of the city. Copi of The Star containing the original arti about this matter, printed last week, were sent here and there by those who are energetic in the movement, and the results began to show in this morning's mail, which brought to Major Butts the follow. ing letter from Col. Henry Huss of York city, who is actively interested in pa- triotie endeavors: “Inclosed please find my mite ($5.00) for the good work you are interested in, s9 thet no blot of shame shall rest on the Ameri- can people, and to show the rising genera- tion that the ‘Old Boys,’ who stood by tie Union in the dark days, stand ready to per- petuate the memories of those who do their duty today. May you meet with success.” In anticipation of the action of Saturday night, Major Butts consulted Friday vith br. Van Reypen, surgeon general of she navy, who took a deep interest in the pro- ject of providing some method of preserv- ing and protecting these gray Dr. Reypen then talked with Seers about the matter, who gave 4 hearty ap- proval to the project, and gave permission to Major Butts to correspond with Com- mander Forsyth, in charge of the naval sta- tion at Key West, in regard to making all necessary arrangements for carcymz oat the project Meeting Called. A meeting of the committee designated Saturday night will be held tomorrow to take further action looking toward the prosecution of the plan. It is hoped that several hundred dollars will soon be in hand, in order to secure at once the neces- sary railing to surround and protect the graves. That this !s necessary is shown by the fact that the graves were trampled upon regardlessly the other day, xhen the sailors who were killed in the engagemeat at Cardenas on the Winslow were mniried In the immediate vicinity. Great crowds visi: ed the spot during the ceremonies, and the graves of the Maine men were rushe1 over without heed for the paltry marks that now denote them. ed Ensign Bagley’s Grandfather, To the Bditor of The Evening Sta: Ensign Bagley was the grandson of the late Jonathan Worth, who was elected gov- ernor of North Carolina in 1865, the last be- fore the reconstruction measure of Con- gress went into operation. He was the ideal North Carolina: country gentleman, thoroughly honest,:of sound understand- ing and entirely free frcm pretension. He came here in the summer of 1865, with sev- eral other sober-minded old gentlemen who had deprecated the: collision with the fed- eral government and rejoiced at its close, to make the best: terms practicable with President Johnson for the future govern- ment of the state. I was in the Metropoli- tan line of horse cars going westwardly. He got on the cars at the corner of E and Oth streets. I had never seen him before and was not aware that he was in the city, but as soon as I saw him said to myself, “That is a North Carolinian.!” We both got out o! the car at the Ebbitt House, and I no- ticed that he signed his name on the re; ister, “Jonathan Worth of North Carolina. Before he left the city I made his acquaimt- ance, and afterward became better ac- quainted with him at Raleigh. I also knew well and intimately Mr. Bagley, his son- in-law, the father of the young ensign. He was clerk of the supreme court of the state and an estimable gentleman. I have the honor and pleasure also of, knowing the good mother and sisters of the young hero, who went to his death amid appall- ing horrors, with a smile on his face. I deeply eae with his relatives, but they have the consolation that the whole state will love and cherish his memory. DANIEL R. GOODLUE.

The practice shoot of the Capital City Gun Club with which the organization will inaugurate its new shooting grounds at Highlands, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, next Saturday, promises to be something Ike a tournament in propor- tions.

She had been drinking.” “That's true about the drinking,” said Jessie, “but I wasn’t with anybody this morning. Lawyer Moss and Mr. Kendig can tell you that I-have a good home. “Why were you drinking?” she asked. “You see, your honor,” Jessie replied, “my husband, who lives in Soldiers’ Home, is blind, and yesterday I went out to see him. I felt so bad when I returned that 1 imbibed a little too free! A sentence of sixty days was imposed. easter hae thy Women of Alaska, The ladies of the Woman's Home Mis- sionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church sent last year a representative to Alaska to ascertain the needs of mission work in that territory. Mrs. Saml. L. Bel- ler, wife of the vice chancellor of the Amer- ican University, was sent, and stayed six months, looking carefully into the condition of the women and children of the territory, and devising ways and means for the bet. terment of their circumstances and sur- roundings, many of which are deplorable in the extreme.

Schuldt, 608 Pennsylvania avenue southeast, a day or so ago wrote the District Commisioners calling their at- tention to the fact that the arrest of the Spanish spy here recently is apt to mean that there are other spies in the city. Mr. Schuldt believes that not only is the water supply of the District in danger of heing poisoned, but that the public buildings in the city are in danger of being destroyed by Spanich spies. He suggests, after call- ing attention to what he thinks is an in- disposition to utilize the National Guard for the protection of the national capital, that the Commissionets do as he says they have done in New York, employ two or three hundred extra watchmen for the pro- tection of the city, and its water supply. The matter was referred to Commission- er Wight, who has immediate charge of the police department, he making the’ fol- lowing irdorzement of Mr. Schuldt’s let- ter: “There are no funds available with which to pay 200 or 300 extra watchmen. The police, in connection with the War De- partment, are taking all precautions, and 4t is believed no further action is needed at present.” FOROS OS SSO SOLOS O TEC OEe Bread and cake made with Cleveland’s baking powder keep their natural freshness - and flavor, Cleveland Baking Powder Co., New York.

The ma- there were appropriate addresses by Com- missioner Ross, Representative Cummings and Rev. Mr. Moran, the pastor of the church. A large crowd witnessed the ex- ercises, and there was a great deal of en- thusiasm manifested. Music was furnished by the Marine Band, and when the services were begun in the church at 4 o'clock the band, which was stationed in the choir gallery, played ‘Hail Columbia.” After a prayer, which constituted the consecration service, Father Moran made at aédress, in which he said that while the mission of the Catholic Church ts one of peace, and she is slow to raise her voice in time of war, she teaches men to become good citizens, ready at all times to lay cown their lives for their country. The ritual of the church prescribes, he said, ceremonies of peace and also of war, one of which is the consecration of the flag of the country to the God of Battles. Stands by America, He edded that “the church stands by the ccuntry; and well dces she do so, The church hes been with this country since its birth, 2nd is still with it—some say an un- welcome guest.

He then read the address recently pub- lished and approved by Archbishop Mar- tinelli, which, he said, gave clearly the po- sition of the Catholic Church in this coun- try. “Charges have been made,” concluded Father Moran, “that because we are war- ring with a so-called Catholic nation the Cathoiies of America would not aid this government. If such were true—which, thank God, it {s not—we would be unworthy the respect of our fellow citizens. ‘The bi evidence that these charges are false is t magnificent and patriotic gathering here this evening.” America was sung, with band accompan!- ment, and then a procession was formed, which proceeded out of the church to the vicinity of the flag staff.
