An instant later the officer and prisoner were on their feet engaged in a struggle. Dur- ing this struggle the officer was bitten about the head and hand, and when he was thrown a second time he was rendered un- conscious by his head striking against the avement with great force. Pajrown then made his escape, and when the officer regained bis senses there was no one in the crowd who would tell him in which way the fugitive had gone. When the facts were reported to the station, Lieutenant Kelly sent out a number of offi- cers to look for the fugitive. As already stated, Detective Hartigan and Policeman Coghill located and arrested him. Brown said he resisted because he did not know Lynch Was an officer.

Stafford, the eminent church- man and orator, delivered a lecture at the National Theater last night on the subject of “Ireland's Struggles for Life and Liber- ty” to an audience completely filling the large play house. Dr. Stafford told in his most eloquent style the sad history of the Irish revolution of 1708. His audience was sympathetic and enthusiastic, swayed by the magnificent and masterly portrayal in, words of what the speaker declared to be “the supreme crime in history"—England’s treatment of the Irish. The Emmet Guard, Company A, of the Ast District Regiment, was present in unt- form, while the Catholic clergy of the city Was well represented. Dr. Stafford told of the struggles of the Irish, of their oppres- sion and compulsory insurrection, the lat. ter being brought about by outrages of the oppressors. The English incited the Irish to revolt that they might be crushed. The plan succeeded. “The Irish rebellion was short lived. In conclusion, the lecturer de, clared that nevertheless the Irish race lives and is still a power in the world, for Sir Charles Dilke said the other day that there Was no hope for an Anglo-Saxon alliance until justice had been done to. Ireland. Stead ‘says no Englishman ought to men. tion Ireland before the civilized wor¥d until he has put on sackcloth and ashes, ‘The cause of Ireland is the cause of right, of lberty, of nationality, of freedom, of con- science, of justice and it must prevail.” pee ag eee Fake Meerschaum Pipes, To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The “fake meerschaum pipe man” is again in town and working his little game very successfully. No less than five victims came to me yesterday with their beautifully carved colored meerschaums to find our how much of a bargain they had received. For the benefit of the readers of The Evening Star I would say that these “fake” Pipes are made of chips of meerschaum compressed, boiled in oil to color them, and may be bought of any reputable dealer for 25 to 75 cents, according to size. These pipe fakers purchase their supply in New York and travel from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific coast, working town after town,doing a profitable business, They have many different stories. One of their favorites is that the pipe was brought across the water by a sailor, who, after having colored his pipe, was forced to part with it for a small consideration, being hard up and needing the money. The pur- chaser does not smoke, and consequently has no use for the pipe. He is willing to part with if fora small sum—anywhere from $1 to $10, according to the size of his customer in hand, who, believing his story, finds himself willing to part with a few dol. lars to become the sole proprietor of such a handsome carvgd meerschaum, beautiful- ly colored and not even a scratch on It. He is generally happy in his new possession un- til he runs across some friend or his pipe man, who informs him of the true nature of his ior wee suddenly and unmerefful- ly its value. drops in his mind fro1 down to 25 ae wc ENRY F.

Social Club's Surprise Party. The Oakdene’ Social Club gave a surprise party to Miss Clara Waller and her broth- er Edward a few evenings since.

CROSS UNVEILED Impressive Ceremony at Site of Pro- jected Cathedral. PRESIDENT M'KINLEY A PARTICIPANT eS The Beginning of a Church Enter- prise of Magnitude. ge PETER AND PAUL > SAINTS From the red, white and blue folds of the country’s flag—emblem of war—the chaste white shaft of the great cross—emblem of peace—dawned upon the sight of thousands of reverent spectators as the hand of the President of the United States gave the signal for the unveiling yesterday after- noon. The hour was 3:45 o'clock, and the scene, as the aged senior warden of the little Church of St. Albans, in the woods hard by, pulled the white cord,® dropping the starry banner, was sublime and awe-inspir- ing in the grandest sense. At the foot of the cross stood the little band of “holy and right reverend fathers of the Episcopal Church,” repeating in in these modern times the ancient planting of the cross on the historic James river, centuries ago. Al- most more than human they looked, their forms showing the burden of years, though clad in the sacred and royal raiment of the church, their faces rugged and command- ing, with the strength of spiritual expre: sion, their silvered hair falling in thin lengths upon their shoulders. Back of them were the clergy, immaculate and spotless in their vestments; the great choir of boys and men, clad in white and black; the distinguished civilians in somber attire befitting the occasion. In front and at the back of the imposing stone, towering high in the air, were people who had come from all parts to witness the event, held back, by strong ropes and quiet policemen, in awed silence. Such was the picture lent to the impressive woods by these reverent men and women, but grander and more im- pressive yet was the frame which Mother Earth gave it. Picturesque Scene. From the summit of Mount St. Albans, where these thousands stood, the glance passed down a gentle. slope through trees, touched into marvelous color by the wand of autumn, and on to the city, in the dis- tance, its capitol and library and monument looking dim but grand in the bluish haze. Beyond, the Eastern branch and the Poto- mac, white and gleaming, met like a neck ribbon of white satin at the foot of the hills of Maryland and Virginia, which rose like low mountains against the southern and eastern limit of the horizon. In the heavens, flecked only by stray white clouds, the ecy moon hung lu less and pale, awaiting the coming of dusk, and the sun, dazz!ing and golden as it sank Processional. into the west, sent a burst of golden light through the turning leaves of the trees back of the crcss, making a halo, as it seemed, arcund the emblem and the wor- shipers. Wherever the eye turned a pan- orama of beauty was revealed that would have inspired a poet and immortalized a painter. Those who were participants in the impressive ceremony and those who witnessed ii will never efface from their minds the details of the scene, and the his- tory of the Episcopal Church will mark it as a cross plarting more deeply significant and more truly important in its promise than the landing of the Jamestown pil- grims. The Attendance. Early in the day the street car lines and many vehicles carried crowds of the deie- gates to the general convention and of members of the Episcopal churches, to- gether ‘vith the general public, to the scene. A dozen white tents dotted the woods around the main entrance to the inclosure and the little church of St. Albans that stands off the Tenleytown road almost on the line of Massachusetts avenue extended was the point where the committees from the Churchmen’s League congregated and exchanged orders for the day. A detail of mounted policemen were scattered along ‘Tenleytown end Woodley roads to preserve order, but there being no disorder , they were more largely ornamental than useful. A sqtad of officers on foot were stationed inside the church grounds, and they re- spectfully and quickly indicated to the crowds without tickets of admission to the platform the places where they could stand. ‘There were far more women than men present, and their autumn costumes pre- sented a kaleidoscopic changing of bright colors that was quite as beautiful as those painted by nature upon the leaves over- head. To the southeast of the church, about a hundred yards, was the cr veiled in a bright flag, and facing it, looking north- westward, was the platform provided for the President, the bishops, the clergy and invited perscns. Before 2 o'clock the choir boys and men and the clergy of the Episcopal churches had arrived and v: themselves in the tents and the rectory building. Bishop Whipple of Minnesota was the arrive, and Co Truesdell s in charge of the civilian side . ushered him to the church, where the bishops were to rest themselv Bishop Doane, the chairman of the house of bishops, came next, and Rev. Dr. Dix, the chairman of the house of deputies,followed. The arrival of former ary of Sherman brought to hi Mr. Chas Bell, Mr. Charles Glc and Colonel True: dell, who congrat the aged ste man upon being pres President McKin- ley drove up soon afterward, and was once taken into the church, where he was introduced to the venerable bishops, who, clad in their robes of office, were awaitin the summons. The Procession Movex. At 3 o'clock the procession moved through the crowds along the way made clear by policemen, and guarded by stout rop the platform, where the inguished lay delegates had placed themsely A tall cross bearer, clad in cassock and white cotta, slowly moved at the head of the pro- Bishop Satterlee. ion, holding a golden cro: head in reverential attitude. Following Were the 150 choir boys and men, similarly clad, singing the processional hymn, “Jesus Shall Reign,” accompanied by the ist Bri- gade Band ‘of twenty-four pieces. Choir- master Camp led them to the seats in the center of the platform. Then came Rev. Mr. Williams of Trinity Church and Rev. Mr. Ha of St. Mark's Pro-Cathedral ding the clergy of the ‘opal church- nd the clerical delegates to » general convention, all in vestments. ssrs. C. J. Bell, Chas. Glover, Colonel sdell and Col.'A. T. Britton, trustees of the cathedral, were in the line at this point. The clergy were placed at the right and left of the platform. The bishops, ‘in Junior order of consecration, next appeared and filed in. At the end were the President, high above walking between Bishops terle and Doane, and Bishops Whipple, Dudley and McLaren and Rev. Dr. Dix. ‘These repre- Sentatives of church and state were us ered by Rev. Alfred Harding of St. Paul's Church, in charge of the S, tO a line of chairs at the extreme front of the platform,the President sitting with Bishops Satterlee and Dudley, and Dr. Dix at his right hand and Bishops Doane, Whipple and McLaren at his left hand, in the order named. President McKinley looked youthful be- side the grayhaired, venerable churchmen. He wore a silk hat, dark overcoat and mixed blue and gray trousers. On his hands were gloves which he drew off upon taking his seat, but occasionally he put them for warmth into -s coat pockets. The President looked ruddy and well, an soon was absorbed in the ceremony, mak- ing the responses and singing as directed by the program of services he held. Beginning of the Service. The processional hymn, “From Green- lend’s Icy Mountain,” was sung, and then sturdy Bishop Dudley began the service and read the Lord’s Prayer and psalms 84, 122 and 125. The lesson, from Eph {v:l,was impressively read by the grave and statue- like Dix, followed by a hymn, and then Bishop McLaren, with loud and supplicat- ing voice said the Apostle’s Creed and sev eral collects. The next hymn, “America, was sung with a strength and feeling by the vast assemblage se!dom witnessed, and the great burst of praise could be heard far off. The grceting was delivered by Bishop Sat- Bishop Doane. terlee, handsome and impressive in his rcbes, with perfect enunciation and clear- ness.

In the name of the board of trustees I would express to you our deep apprecia« tion of the sympathy you have ever shown in every rehgious movement in this deat country of ours. To you, my brethren of the clergy and laity, who are members of the general convention, I will express our gratitude for your presence in such large President and the numbers. “One week ago we went on our pilgrim- age to Jamestown, where we were brought face to face with the past and inspired with thoughts of the beginning of the church in the United States. Today we face the glowing future with the divine conviction that as this country was born of God in the beginning of its history, so it has @ Rteat mission, given by God, to bear fruit among nations. This cross of peace is the outward symbol of countless earnest pri ers. “Last spring our hearts, while filled with the joy of consecration,’ were torn asun- der with the visions of impending war. when the President sent his memorable message to Congres: lit- tle band of communicants was assembled in this Church of St. Alban, kneeling at the altar to receive the blessed sacrament, praying with one hi soul, one mind, with the very impc y of prayer, that God would give pe in our time. ’Sin that day our war with Spain has come, and, we trust, has gone. Our country has awak- ened to a realization that there must be a divine purpose in it all; awakened to hear above the noise and tumult the angels’ song of peace, good will. It has been trul said that in those 100 days of war God carried this dear country forward 1) y “And now our cross of peace is raised to commemorate the event of this historic year; raised that we may attain our pr: ers and fervent wish for th of an enduring peace; raised of our faith that the only lasting men on earth is the peace that comes from the cross of Christ consummat sac “It is asking too much,” Bishop Satterlee said in conclusion, turning toward the Pri ident, “to venture the hope that the Pres’ dent of the United States shall respond, even by a single word, but we want the hief magistrate, for whom we daily pray, to know our wish.” President McKinley's Response. ‘The President immediately and graciously responded, first removing his hat in honor of the oc He spoke readily and dis- tinctly. “I appreciate tne very great privilege given me to participate with the ancient church here represented, its bishops and its laymen, in this new sowing for the Master and for man. Every undertaking like t for the promotion of religion and morality and education is a positive gain to citizen- ship, to country and to civilization, and in the single word I wish for the sacred enter- prise the highest influence and the widest usefulness.” Finishing his address, the President made a signal and Deputy Warden J. B. Nourse of St. Alban’s pulled the cord that unveiled the white monolithic Ionic cross, twenty feet high, an enduring monument of peace and a be nm and benediction upon the world beneath the mount’s summit. Upon the south face of the shaft were the words in ed stone: = ss is raised in the historic year A. to mark the founding of the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul.” On the pedestal are the words: “Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone.” Above it is a blank tablet on which is to inscribed the litany “That i y please Thee to give to all nations uni peace and concord, we be- seech Thee to hear us, good Lord.” In Name of God and Brotherhood. Bishop Doane of Albany made the ad- dress, his kindly face illuminated by the b President McKinley Speaks. eloquence of his words, his form trembling under the energy of his speech. He said: “I am speaking, as I stand here, in the name of God and in the name of brother- hood, because we are all brother Ameri- cans; never more distinctly and never more solemnly than in this place that is ours. This cross, which has been unveiled here today, is planted in a place that has been’ consecrated by a century or more of sery- ice and of sacrifice, the owners being de- scendants of the first owners of this St. Alban’s Mount, which has been consecrated because it bears a name that is holy to all English-speaking people, the name of England's St. Alban, the protomartyr and her eldest saint. “It stands where it overlooks the capital of a great nation of free men, the principle of whose political philosophy, as I under- stand it, Is represented by the outreaching arms of the cross of God. It takes in its cognizance neither Creek nor Jew, bond nor free. It stands and it wil] stand for years and years to come where a cathedral church is to be built, and soon it will be, to preach peace to them that are far off and them that are nigh by, preaching Josus Christ, and Him crucified, and it stands where, under the shadow of the cathedral that is to be built, a school for the daugh- ters of American men and American wis- dom, to l¢arn that wisdom by ways that are better than men.
