W. Prince, by several’ eloquent citizers and by General Dyrenforth, during which he presented the mayor with a relic of the Maine. A touching incident of Ge forth’s appearance to speak was the recog- nition of him by some of the men of his old regiment and of the western army in the audience, and their coming forward to eral Dyren- shake their old commander by the hand with many a “God bless you.” On Friday, the 12th, was the final ses- sion of the Natio this stall Encampment, and at jon the officers elected were in- The Women’s Union.

Before the ladies retired to their hall 2 cestly badge and a beautiful gold watch, suitably inscribed, were presented to Mrs. Hortense White, the retiring president, on behalf of the U. V. U., by Past Comman- cer Ellis, who made an eloquent and graceful speech, expressive of the appre- ciation by the soldier of woman’s work during the war, and of the appreciation by the U. V.

Protecting District Treops Against Radical Change in ‘Temperature. Quartermaster General H. H. Parmenter of the District National Guard has shipped 990 overcoats to Mentauk Point, Long Is- land, to await the homecoming of the Ist District Volunteer Regiment. Upon the arrival of the District regiment at Camp Wikoff the military great coats will at once be distributed among them to be worn during their early mcrning work. Mon- tauk Point is directly on the ocean, and it is reported that at night and in the early morning the temperature takes such a drop that the men who campaigned at Santiago shiver and shake like so many men with the chills. Major Parmenter, hearing this, decided that the District men should have over that they might be protected from any chance of pneumonia or bad colds. When the regiment left for Cuba the overcoats were left behind, there being no need for such apparel in the tropieal zone. Returning from a hot climate, weakened by disease and privations, the soldiers might easily be affected by the sudden change and become victims of some lung troubl The cvercoats, however, will be a great preventive and will doubtless be gladly welcomed by the homeward bound District troops. es JACOB G.

Larry Dooley 7nd James Tenbrook AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. =——? Demolition. of Church Edifice—Police ges—Personal. Workmen commenced this morning to de- molish the West org?town M. E. Church, located at the southeast corner of 35th and T streets. This place ceased to be a house of worship last November, when the rep- res2ntatives of that congregation and of the congregation of the mother church, the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church, united in a dged conveying the property to Mr. Co- lumbus Thomas, from whom it was recent- ly purchased by Mr. George W. King, The corgr>gation had grown so small that it became impossible to support the church and pastor, and it was deemed best for West End Methodist interests to dispose of it. It is understood the proceeds of the sale will be d2voted to the purchase of a suitable site beyond the corporation limits of Georgetown upon which a new church will be constructed. The present owner of the property has plans drawn up for the erection of a hand- som2 two-story store and dwelling, con- taining eight rooms and a store, the entire house (o be thirty feet square, and con- tain all modern improvements. It will be a decided architectural addition to that pertion of Georgetown, being nzarly op- posite the new Western High School. Con- nors & Culloty are the builders. The changes recently made in the George- town police station sem to be misunder- stood. Policemen Harry and Matthews, wko were made sergeants, will not be at- tached to the seventh precinct for du They will most likely be detailed to th ninth precinct, in Northeast Washington. Sergt. Haney and Sergt. Myers of the sey- enth, who were reduced to privates in the s2cond class, will be given detail work. The latter will have charge of the patrol ser- vice in the third precinct, while the for- mer will be placed at the Zoo, though there is some likelihood of this detail being chang2d. Policeman Fritz Passau and Po- liceman Sprinkle of the first precinct, have been made acting sergeants for George- town. They entered upon their duties yes- terday Mr. B. J. Birch of the Georgetown post office, accompanied by his family, is at Colonial Beach, Va., where a vacation of several weeks will be spent. Mr. William A. Clarke and his daughter, Miss Fannie, left today for Philadelphia, to visit Mr. and Mrs. Harry Swain. THE COURTS, Equity Court No. 2-Justice Bradley. shington Brick Company agt.
