The pulpit as vacant since the death of Rev. sseph Duryea, last sor Rev. Dr. Por- ter and Rev. E. P. Terhune, the husband of “Marian Harland,” have been notable occupants of it. Personnl Sketch. Dr. Ennis was bern and bred iyn, and came to this city from the Duteh Church at Newtown, L. I. He is thirty years old. and has been pastor of the We in Prook- erm Presbyterian Church since Aprtl, 1804. He graduated from Rutgers College in 1800. and entered the Union Theological Semi- ary of New Yor! city. In 181 he mar- ried Miss Ella Steele De Hart of N srunswick. Since coming here Dr. Ennis has greatly increased the scope and importance of his church's work. He has opened a free dis- pensary and a vigorous mission. In a short time a free kindergarten, sewing school and manual training school will be established as a part of the mission, al- though Dr. Ennis will not have the pleas- ure of overseeing its carly work. He is im energetic young man, and is prominently identified with many educational assoc tiens. He is moderator of the Washington presbytery, a member of the Presbyterian general council and of the federal counci! et the Brotherhood of Andrew and Phillip: chaplain of Columbia Camp No. 1, Sons of Veterans; chaplain in the Ist.

He will be sent to the north classis of Long Island, and will then be at liberty to offi- in the Brooklyn church. United effort was made by his congrega- m to have remain, and, al- though the call was informally extended to him months ago, he hesitated to sever re- lations that have existed so harmoniously ind prefitably for nearly five years, and lid not reach a de on until now. ——__ dier Boys En M.; w Dr. his 2 his Ennis s ertained. headquarte 1 by Tax Club ic Magic, made a short tax question, and Mr. T oth soldier boys at the entertai ngton Si Mis members 1 we: th Mondz had ¢ son the Charles Newburg aso spoke on th me subject Recitat by Mrs. Fechner and Miss Mazie. —_—_s—___ Round Trip to Ariington Sunday, tie. lectric trains every 45 min.

HALL CAINE’S LECTURE. ‘The Story of Larry and Lucy Told at the National Theater. There is a homely Indiana maxim which Get a plenty while you're a-gettin’.” Possibly Mr. Hall Cain> has found a Celtic equivalent among the natives of the Tsle of Man, for the type metal which told of his pla splendid triumph in this city is scarcely cold before the distinguished author is back again with an Oliver Twist appeal quite irresistible in its natyete. Naivete is Mr. Caine’s salvation. His lee- ture is entitled ‘Home, Sweet Home," for the reuson, no doubt, that the immortal mele dy filtered into it here and there from a parlor organ behind the scenes. The s tion of so mild and harmless a theme was another evidence of Mr. Caine’s eminence as a man of surprises. He comes frem the midst of a seething onslaught of criticism and abuse and from a_ vortex of metropolitan iniquity, which he has been persuaded to systematically inspect. and comment upen, and he lectures on “Hom>, Sweet Home.” It is like shaking eau de cologne out of a tobaseo bottle. But the lecturer or hts manager realizes that. it is the man rather than th> matter which he may discourse that will attract the pub- lic. As a picturesquely commanding per- onality, Mr. Caine stands uneclipsed. His position in the world of letters is unassail- ably high, for he has forced unfriendly mmentators on his play beyond the con- eration of its merits as a mere enter- tainment into a hot discussion of its ethi- cal influence. The entertainment has feat- ures which invite cynical raillery. But it is difficult to see how anybody could be cross with Mr. Caine. Gentle and child- like, he s-ems as placid amid all the tur- moil as a sylvan pool in a thunder shower Possibly the sylvan pool realizes that these passing storms mean a liberal downpour of what it most needs, and that the men- acing rattle and roar have no lasting si nificance After the lights had been turned _up on an interior setting at the National Theater and the organ had played “Home, Swect Home" through, Mr. Caine advanced to the lecturer's desk. He was received with a friendly volley of applause and was simi- larly saluted frequently during the reading s novelette. The literary habit of blending seemingly incongruous material into harmonious entities has crept into Mr. Caine’s wardrobe. He defies the conven- tionalities with a bland assurance which none but a man of genius would dare as- sume. The mest original features of the ding were the gestures. The author's favorite attitude is a statuesque pose, with the right arm resting on the desk in front of him, the left hand in his trousers pocket and his legs crossed at the ankies. His gestures begin with a semi-circular m¢ tion of the head and gradually work down through the arms, until finally the fect are shifted to make an entire change of posi- tion. The story was about a bad, Rip-Van- Winkle sort of lad named Larry, who had married a girl named Lucy, and who ran away to Gr ve the penalty of Killing the m: s trying to com- plete the wreck of home which Larry had so substantially set under way. Mr Caine's appreciation of dramatic requirements was shown as soon as he got into the dialogue and repeated the line: “You promised to be back by This was said by Lucy, and to indicate this the more vividly Mr. Caine sank his voice to a gentle pianissimo, which could not leave even the most obtuse listen- er in doubt as to the author's intention. And when Larry replied, “Ha-ha! So I did spoken with equally lucid loud- pedal Then, when the wander- er ay on frozen s2ae was reading a letter in his daughter's handwriting, Mr. tine picked up a page of his manuscript and then and there improvised a letter. When Larry returns to his native home his daughter shows him a locket, and in illustration Mr. Cain> gives his few blythesome filli It is a treat to see Mr. Caine give a correct imitation of a gold locket with a starched four-in-hand nec tie with short ends. The story is not strik- ing in its quality; it was probably not i tended to be so. There was nothing to jar the symmetry of a v non-committal yet wholly unique eccasion, The main attra tion is the author's own personality, which impresses itself as extraordinary, no mat- necktie a ter in what aspect he may exhibit tt. Mr. Caine in propria persona cannot be ov shadow-d even by Larry and Lucy. The lecture will be ed tomorrew night. —_————_ LIEU . ON LEAVE, Washington Boy Whose Bravery in War Merits Promotion. Lieut.

RATE WAR Outcome of the Effort ‘to Control the Ice Business Gflers to Large Gonaigners to Make Contracts atea Reduction of Thirty Peri Cent. The railroed an@shotel men and other large consumers oftce ih this city are be- ing visited by a representative of the Knickerbocker Ice @ompany and given an epportunity to make contracts for the ice which they use at rates much less than they are now paying. It will be recalled that a short time ago the Knickerbocker company completed arrangements by which the ownership of the Hygienic plant of this city passed into its hands. . The latter company, as is well known, has a plant in the northeastern part of the city for the manufacture ef ice, and the purchase in- cluded, of course, this propertys.as well as the business, and the latter has since been carried on by the new owners, they having retained the same superintendent. It was understood at that ume, and so stated in The Star, that it was the inten- tion of the purchasers of the Hygienic com- pany’s plant to attempt also to get control of the other two companies in this city which do the largest business, with the view of securing the control of the ice in- terests in this city, as has been done in other places by the same company, notably in Laltimore, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. Probable War Over Rates. As far as can be learned, no understand- ing has as yet been reached in regard to procering the control of the Independent and the Great Falls ice companies, respec- tively, and some of those who are interest- ed in these companies say that there ts no prospect of the management of etther or both being changed in the near future. However, if the rumored ice combine has not yet been formed it is thought the first step has been taken in beginning a war over rates which it was thought would fol- low the advent into the market of th of the Knickerbocker tee Company. It is bdieved by those who are well posted that there is to be a contest over the control of the ice business here, which will probably take the form of a cut in rates. y It is conjectured that such tactics will be resorted to in order to drive the companics that remain out of the combine to the wall, but whether it will assume tha: phase or not remains to be seen, All (hac is known positively is, that many of the large con- sumers of ice in this city are being given the epportunity to make contracts with the new concern for months, a year, two or three years or more at rates which in some t least are SO per cent less than the rates now prevailing in this market. Prevailing Rule. It is stated that it has not alwa the custom for ice consumers in thi to make cortrects for a fixed period with the ice companies for their service. The prevailing rule is for the ccnsumer to have an understanding »s to the rate, and then the ice is furnished as lomg as the arrange- ment is mutually satisfaetery. The new ccmpany,.however, proposes to make a reguiar comtract to furnish ice at n agreed rate for a certain period of vary- ing length. It is also stated that it will agree to furnish either the natural or the a , according as the customer may ele As the sew compamy has only a plant in city for making artificial ice, and did not acquire in the purchase of the Hyxienic Ice Company any wharves or tce houses for the storage of natural lee, it is interesting to know how tt expects to be able to sup- ply natural ice to ite: customers. Rumor Net Verifi In this connection it may be noted that there is a rtmor, mot cyet verified, that some understanding kas been reached in re- gard to the wharf atithe foot of 1th street, now joccupied by the Home companyyand it is conjectured that if the Knickerbocker company should desire to bring natural ice to this city It, will be landed at thi wharf and stored in the ice houses at thac point. Jt is stated the company controls ice fields in Meine ani also has facilities for trans- perting the output here, so that if a land- ing place is secured it is sald that the new } ecncern will be able to furnish both kinds ot ice It is not krewn what success the new company is meeting with in increasing Its business here, but it the opinion of some that an effort will be made by the other companies to meet this competition, and in that event there will be a rate war. The representatives of the two large compa- es in this city do not seem to be disturbed vy the situation. A Trade Journal's Comments. The following editorial comment on the situation In this city appeared in the last sue of Ice and Refrigeration, a journal ished in the interests of the ice trade: shington ice-makers and dealers have been tempted by the alluring proposals of the promotors of consolidation. There are x companies in Washington, viz: thi gienic. the Washington and the Purity. who manufacture ice. and the Indepen- dent. the Great Falls and the Nationa! Capital. who handie Maine ice. The Purity sels both manufactured and natura! ice, All these companies are heavily capitalized and do a harge business.

According to report, local companies were presented the alternative of selling cut to the consolidation or taking the chances of competition and reduction of prices, The latter is probably a mi tor American citizens ave not in the of yielding to threats, and ice men are no exception to the rule.

The investigation, which was conducted jointly by the com- mittee on education of the Civic Center and the Washington branch of the Association of Collegiate Alumnae, is understood tw have been very exhaustive, including about 150 questions, prepared with the view of eliciting information concerning every ex- of the isting fact and condition in our publi schools affecting the health of children. Dr. W. W.

The Work of Putting in the Under- ground Electric System. It is expected that Menday next work will be begun opening the streets for the purpose of putting down the under- ground electric system on the city portion of the City and Suburhan Street Railroad formerly the Eckington. The start will be made at New York avenue and Florida avenue, and from that point the gangs of men will proceed west to 5th and G streets, and then turn east and go over the line that passes through East Washington to 15th street. It is not the purpose of Mr. Crosby, the president of the company, to begin the work on G street until all the iron work that will be needed is not only in the city. but along the street ready to be put in place, as he realizes the public inconven- ience that would result from having that portion of the route where there 1s much traffic torn up for any longer period than is absolutely needed for Mr. Saxton, the contractor, with his rapid method of com- plete the installme Owing to heavy demands now being mate on the iron men for material to be ured in underground street railroad work, it is difficult to get orders filled rapidly and on this account contracts have been made vith three separate iron coneerns for tite iron yokes.
