The people of this vicinity are justly in- dignant at the lack of dicipline and disre- gard of law and decency exhibited by some of the soldiers who are encamped between here and Falls Church. Besides the drunk- ess caused by the sale of “beer” at the vernment canteen,” depredations are committed which would put to shame a soldier in the civil war, even when en- camped in the enemy's territory. Last Sunday some soldiers went on the premises occupied by Mrs. Ambrose Cocks, a widow, and took away about twenty of her chickens before her face. They started to take her pigs also, but on account of her cntreades they did not take them, but stuck them with their bayonets and left them bleeding. She recognized some of them by their caps as belonging to the 7th Ohio. A house belonging to Mrs. Ware, who lives In Washington, except during the summer months, was taken possession of by some soldiers. They drove off the color- ed man who was left in charge of the prem- ises and made themselves at home. They Killed one of her calves and had a barbecue.

Fairfax Court House, Va., May 24, 1898. ———— es . Changes in Medical Star. Several changes will be made in the med- {eal staff of Emergency Hospital June 1. Dr. Juenemann, the resident, retires, hav- ing served the time allowed by the hospital regulations, and Dr. Fife, the senior resi- dent, takes his place. This, with the re- tirement of Dr. Shine, creates two vacan- cles, which were filled by the appointment of Dr. F. H.Mohart of the Columbian Medical College and Dr. M.» W. Glover of the Georgetown Medical School. These were appointed after @ competitive exami- FOREIGN M§SSIONS REPORT Good Showing Made sj the Presbyterian "General Assembly. ai Resolution Adopted by the Assembly Expressing] Sympathy With Soldiers in the War. WINONA LAKE, Minn., May 25.—The re- port on foreign missions submitted to the Presbyterian general assembly today con- tained the following: The fiscal year began with a debt of $97,454, but this and all other obligations had been met. Appropriations had been re- duced $100,000, and thus the debt, which had existed in varying amounts since 1893, had been extinguished. Reports from all the fields were encourag- ing, in spite of the fact that retrenchment had told heavily upon the schoois, some of which had been closed. The receipts were: From churches, $292,622; women's board, $312,377; Sunday schools, $38,209; people's societies, $10,013; legacies, $75,940; miscellaneous donati 610; interest on investments, ete. is to meet debt of 1807, ¥ 125, The disbursements were $864,702, of which $56,051 was for office expenses, part of them at the direction of the general assembly. The Publication Board. The report of the board of publication and Sabbath school, also presented, repre- sented two intérests, the one missionary and the other commercial. The publication board reported net profits of $31,047 on sales 35 of books and tracts, 258 for periodicals. The active pital of the concern is now $195,624. The board reported the publication of 1,900,875 copies of books and tracts and 43,139,816 copies of periodicals. The missionary branch of the board re- ceived a total of $114,815, of which $51,076 was given by the Sunday schools, and $20,- 8 represents two-thirds of the net profits of the business department. The board reported a decrease of $2,801 in its in- ccme. Working under the board are sev- enty-six missionaries, who have organized 1,028 new Sabbath schools, with a total at- tendance of 51,414 scholars. Tnese schools are located in twenty-nine states and ter- ritories. Growth of the Church. The statistical report showed that a com parison with the returns of last year indi- cated a healthy but not rapid growth of the church. The increase in the number of ministers was forty-four, of pastors twen- ty-seven, of congregations eleven, of pas- tcral charges ten, increased membership in America, 2,669; in the whole church, 2,708. The contributions increased $63,801. ' There are at present 651 pastors with charges, 961 congregations and 12 communi- cants. The young people's ‘societies num- ber 1,017, with a membership of 41,678, and the number of Sunday schools is 1,107, 12,680 officers and teachers and 5 scholars. There are twelve synods and six- ty-six presbyter The average salaries of pastors in 1897 was $1,026. The report 6f the board of home missions showed that 206 stations had been granted id during thé yeat, the averag in those reporting being 1 communicants, a; pet mount contributed was expenditure during the year was $77,192. Very few new. stations were taken up, and the progress “of the whole work has not been so marked as at some former times. Unfavorable Conditions in West. Throughout, much of the west unfavor- able conditions still p 1. The receipts from all sourees were $67,267, expenditures $77,192, the debt owing to this added de- ney now anjounting to - AT claims, however, aad been paid by borrow- ing money. The ‘church had been keeping up its gifts well from year to year, but the annual outlay form mn work had s ily € led the income. ‘The situation was a very serious ome: The report of the board of freedmen’s missions showed that {t was maintainii ght organized congr municants and cley average enrollment of were $2461 and the expenditur The balance in the treasury, $1,490, it w: said, would not be sufficient to meet the expenses of the work for the rest of the year. An appropriation of $50,000 to the present indebtedness and to defray ex- penses of the coming year was asked for. Sympathy With the Soldiers. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rey. Wm. Wallace of Mexico. A resolution was adopted expressing the cordial sympa- thy of the general assembly with the na- tional relief commission and similar a: clations having in view the welfare of the soldiers, sailors and marines engaged in the present war with Spain. The regular order of the day was foreign missions. Dr. Geo. F. Pentecost of Yonkers, N. Y., chair- man of the standing committee, presented @ report and addressed the assembly. pea Se DECLINE IN MORTALITY. Health Office Shows Decrease of Per Cent, The mortality of the District declined 25 per cent during the past week, as compared with the week previous. The deaths as re- corded at the health department numbered 90, as against 120 by the last report. As to social relations, 49 of the decedents were white and 41 colored. Twenty-one were un- der five years of age and 24 were over sixty years old. There was a decrease of deaths from lung diseases from 34 to 15, and from those of the nervous system of from 20 to 12. Of the zymotic class there were 3 fatal cases of typhoid fever and 1 from diphtheria, 1 from scarlet fever and 1 from measles. At the close of the last report there were 22 cases of diphtheria under treatment. During the week 8 new cases were reported and 14 were relieved from quarantine, leav- ing 16 cases in isolation in 13 premise: Of scarlet fever there were 41 cases at the close of the last report in quarantine. During the week 8 new cases were re- ported and 12 cases were relieved from quarantine, leaving 37 still under treat- ment in 24 premises. ‘The weather conditions prevailing during the week were a mean temperature of the air of 70 degrees, a mean barometric pres- sure of 20.92 and relative humidity of 81. There was a rainfall of slightly over 1 inch, with southerly winds and 5 cloudy days. From the 18th to the 20th the ther- mometer rose from 47 degrees to 91 de- grees, ranging 54 degrees es Matter of Special Assessment. In a comniunfeation to Messrs. Thos. J.

Butler's Lecture. A lecture on the “Yellowstone National Park” was delivered last evening at.Keller Memorial Church, corner of Maryland ave- nue and 9th street northeast, by the pastor, Rev. Charles H. Butler, A large audience was present. Most of the views were taken during the trip last year of the delegates from the District of Columbia to the Chris- tian Endeavor convention at San Francisco, Among the most beautiful of the pictures shown were: Hot Springs, Col.; Liberty Cap, Orange Geyser, Golden Gate, Growler Geyser, Paint Pot, Old Faithful, Punch Bowl and Great Falls.

Contest to Take Place at Base Ball Park May 27—The Com- pany Rosters, The patriotic spirit exhibited by young Americans everywhere ts helping to add in- terest to the coming drill contest of the Colored High School Cadets. As the rival companies move hurriedly from point to Point, busy with preparations, they repre- sent our National Guard and brave regulars in miniature. The contest will not be attended by the Capt. Turner, Company A. dangers awaiting the army of Cuban inva- sion, as it is to be fought on the dry soil of the base ball park, May Th» opponents are well skilled, while the spectators will be types of feminine partisanship and en- thusiasm. The battalion consists this year of three companies of 125 cadets, under th> com- mand, respectively, of Maj. W. O. Davis, Adjutant John E. Washington and Sergt. Maj. Romeo Carroll. These officers, hav- ing been selected according to their scholar- ship and ability as cadets, show a high degre> of efficiency and have greatly as- sisted the instructor, Maj. Arthur Brooks, securing the desired results. That the organization has been so suc- cessfully developed, despite many obstacles, is cause for congratulation to all who hav? been instruméntal in its growth. The ne- cessity for drills after school hours is a hardship to some of the cadets, who sup- port themselves by working after school hours; and too much praise cannot be given Capt. Davis, Company B. to those who have mad> the sacrifice order to obtain the training afforded by th drill. Last year the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Be- nevolent Union pres:nted the battalion with some stand of the colors they had fought so valiantly to preserve. When on parade the color sergeant, Thornton Gray, with his guard, Ralph Brent and John Brown, unfurls ‘old glory,’ and permits the cadets to drink in that enthusiasm which has made th? nation what it is to- day, and which prompts its citizens to go forth to do battle for ihe helpless women and children of Cuba. ‘The contest this year promises excellent results, not alone because of the glory at- tached to success, but beeause there is the additional inducement offered by the teach- ers of the county and of the ninth, tenth and eleventh divisions, in the form of a handsome medal. It Is understood the proceeds of th2 drill will be devoted to the purchase of books for the High School library. Although Con- gress and the District provide very hand- somely for the school; the libraries (very important adjuncts to 2ducational in- stitutions) are furnished entirely by the ef- forts of the pupils and their friends. The Company Prospects. Judging from the display of colors, Com- pany A seems to be the favorite in the com- petition. Captain Turner, although the “midget” of the contestants, fs a fine of- ficer and possesses the good will of his ecmpany. 1s assisted by able Meuten- ants and will certainly put up an excelleut in ne Capt. Montgomery, Company C. @iill when he has polished his alignment at “Port arms!” and “Charge bayonets!” Con pany B has won many medals, and Capt. Davis is working hari to add another to the list. His company is in good con- dition and will undoubtedly show good re- sults. In the endeavor to secure the much de- sired “‘snap” the drillmaster has rushed the fcot movements at a rate which, it is be- lieved, prevents best performance. When these are slowed down and a few minor details in the “manual” looked after, those competent.to judge say the captain stands an excellent chance of wearing the hand- some trophy. : In securing the “easy swing” of his com- pany, it 1s said, Capt. Montgomery has made it possible for C to secure the prize it came so near capturing last May. The cadets seem to be masters of their pieces and movements, and with attention to the alignment of their ‘fours’ and ‘‘column” will be hard to beat. The cadets are all a tions after “Parade rest!” and “Order arms!” They deserve credit, however, for their formation of “twos” and “files,” and their movements in ‘double time” show careful instruction.
