Dr. Gates upon “The Test of the Teacher, ‘What think ye of Christ?’ and emphasized the need of a ceaseless nf thought of the Master, In whose name the work of the school was being done. The speaker named as the supreme test of the teacher in the second flow Sunday school the possession, through the study of the Bible, of such an adequate con- ception of Christ, and a friendship with Him, which would in its influence trans- form the lives of the scholars under the in- struction and of the teacher. B. L. Whitman, D.D., was the next ker, and in speaking ue the topic ng the Soul a Chance “There is ne thing more important than makiie ¢ living. and that is, side or physical ma ings, but these are not the mental. More than that. the bod: the outside man, is at best a mask, ¢ rough interpreter of something ri The answer to the question. ‘What done for the scholar? is found in giving the the real being, a chance.” Presentation to Dr. Whitman. At this point in the program the pastor of Calvary Church, Dr. Greene, in a few graceful words, presented to Dr. Whitman and his family on behalf of the Sunday school, two handsome pictures, as a token of the esteem in which the ool held and spoke of the deep regret with the church and Sunday school antic- ted the departure of Dr. Whitman and 2 y in the near future for their new field of work in Philadelphia. Dr. Whitinan responded feelingly to the words of Dr. Greene, and in acknowledging tho kind ex- pression of the school of its esteem and regard, spoke of the connection of himself and family with Calvary Church as one of the brightest of his life, and regretted that his own service while associated in the work of the church had not been more er'i- cient and exten: The last sp ker of the evening was the pastor of the church, Rev. Samuel H. ne, D. D., who spoke upon the topic ‘The Teacher the Scholar's Friend.” Dr. Greene spoke of the relationship of teacher to scholar as one which possessed tremen- dous possibilities and on? which demanded absolute honesty on the part of the teacher with himself and with his scholar. ‘The teacher should be a real friend of the seholar,”’ said Dr. Greene, “and what un- derlies all th> possibilities of his usefuines: is the fact that he has become the honest friend of every member of the class.” The program of the evening was brought to a close by the singing of “Hom>, Sweet Home" by Mrs. Melvin and the repetition in concert of the benedictory prayer found on the printed program.

Dennett Sentenced to Eigh- . teen Months in Jail. George B. Dennett, the young man who was recently arrested by Policeman Kil- martin and locked up on charges of theft, as published in yesterday’s Star, was ar- raigned in Judge Kimball's court today on nine charges of theft. Detective Herndon, who investigated the conduct of the pris- oner,appeared as complainant in most of the cases. The defendant admitted his ‘guilt in all the cases and asked the court to be lenient with him. Six merchants appeared as witnesses in the cases, and the officers showed the court the silver spoons, clock and ornamental pieces that had been taken by Dennett ard recovered by them. In answer to Judge Kimball's inguiries Dennett said he had only been arrested once before, and that was in Boston. He was very much surprised when he learned that his picture was in Byrnes’ book and an account of his arrest in New York given. Judge Kimball sentenced him to eighteen months in jail and imposed a fine of $10 or one month additional. hs but eness and beauty Sot e that gemsive chord in ever: woman's = fully $7 value ih SF eyery one.

After The Star's report of the hearing of representatives of the North Capitol and Kington Citizens’ Association before the ubcommittee on railroads of the Senate committee on the District of Columbia was closed yesterday afternoon, Mr. A. R. Ser- ven continued to explain the plan of the association’ for the location of the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Radroad Com- pany north of New York avenue, which was proposed in order to prevent the closing of streets in Eckington and the placing of the round house and the machine shops of the company in the vicinity of Ivy City instead of just north of New York avenue. The location of the tracks proposed was practi- cally on 7th street east, from a short dis- tance above New York avenue until that street crosses the line of the road as at present located. This location is much further west than that formerly proposed the company, the curve made necessary ng but a 1 per cent curve, which was rded as extremely slight.| Mr. Serven explained that the grade of this location than on the present lo- on that the rise begins -w York avenue instead of about T according to the railroad company's street, plans. Claims of Eckington. Mr. William G. Henderson also spoke in vor of the proposition and argued that unless the present project for elevating the tracks of the railroad was modified it would result In very great damage to property. He said the land that had been purchased by the railroad company for its machine shops an@ round houses east of Eckington could be resold by the company at 50 per cent more than it had paid for it. This land was very much below grade, he said, and it would form a cheap dumping ground for the earth that would be removed in the cut to be made by the proposed plan. If there was any hardship in having the com- pany sell the land it had bought elsewhere he Said it should be remembered that the residents of Eckington had bought their homes long before the railroad company ever proposed to place Its works in the limits of Eckington. The man who subdi- vided Eckington, he said, had spent $550,000 in grading, laying sewers, putting down asphalt pavements and sidewalks, provid- ing lights, &c., and in the purchase of the land the present residents of Eckington had not only paid for these improvements, but they had spent many thousands of dollars in building their homes. Rights of Citizens. Senator McMillan remarked that the citi- zens have rights in such a matter as that under consideration, and requested the as- soclation’s representatives to make a com- plete statement of their plans in writing in order that they might be laid before the Commissioners and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to see what, if any, ob- jection there would be to carrying them out. ‘This they promised to do as soon as pos- sible. ——__++_—_—_ GEN. FUNSTON’S BADGE. mn Nesbitt Gives Some Addaj- tienal Particulars. The publication in The Star recently of the interesting manner in which a frater- nity pin, lost by Gen. Frederick Funston of Philippine fame, when the noted Kansan was in Alaska some years ago, was found in this city, has attracted widespread at- tention, and further detail to the narrative has just been added by Mr. John Nesbitt of 201 K street northwest. It will be re- membered that Gen. Funston lost his “frat”? pin, together with all of his personal ef- fects, by being capsized in an Alaskan river. He lad long given up the idea of ever recovering the pins when suddenly it appeared in Washington, having been found by a workman in tearing up the floor cf the ice-skating rink formerly conducted in Cenvention Hall. “I want to give the true history of the finding of the pin,” said Mr. Nesbitt to a Star reporter today, “and at the same time to correct a few discrepancies in the orig- inal relation of the incident. In the early part of June, 1890, a colored man by the name of Madden, whom I have known for several years and consider thoroughly trust- worthy, called at the restaurant where I am bar tender, and showed me the badge he had found and offered to sell it to me for $1.50. I questioned him as to his right to sell it, and as to how it came into his possession. He stated that he was em- ployed in tearing up the flooring of the skating rink in Convention Hall and found the pin under the flooring. “I told Madden that to offer the badge for sale might work to his disadvantage. He said he needed’ 75 cenis badly to buy material to work with. I advanced the needed amount and took possession of the badge. I had possession of the same from June until October, 1899, during which time I made diligent inquiries of members different organizations as to the badge represented, but without success. Flynn, a beer driver serving our place, told me he had a friend in the pension office named Captain Filer, who was a Mason, and said if I would loan him the badge to show the captain, the latter might be able to locate the order, The name Funston was engraved on the back of the badge, and I was on the point of writing to Gen. Funston, while he was in the Philippines, hoping that he might prove to be the own- er. But in the meantime Captain Filer called, after having s the badge, and offered to communicate with Gen, Funston. He assured me if the badge was placed in his custody he would vouch for its reach- ing Funston if it proved to be his property. As I was only custodian of the badge I sent it to Captain Filer by the colored man Madden. Filer gave the latter $1 and as- surances of employment for delivering the badge. From this it will be seen there was no diffieulty in securing the badge, as has been stated, in ‘a barroom in East Washing- ton.’ I have made affidavit to all the state- ments just related.” How the badge found its way from an Alaskan river to the Washington Ice palace is as yet an unsolved mystery. The pin was Gen. Funston’s. ———— WATER WORKS. Takoma Park to Have a System in the fi ear Future. Mayor §. S. Shedd and the town council of Takoma Park held a special meeting last night for the purpose of opening bids of contractors for the construction of water works and a sewer system, and also for cpening the proposals, or bids, for the bonds of the Park in Maryland, as author- ized by the state legislature at its session held in 1888. A large number of citizens of the park were present, as well as nearly all of the contractors who bid on the water and sewer works. The meeting Was entirely satisfactory to the mayor and ccuncil, as the bids for the bonds went to 104, and the bids for the construction of the water and sewer works were all below the limit of $40,000, ail being accompanied with the necessary sureties, as stipulated in the specifications. ‘There is now no question in the minds of the authorities of the park that the water and sewer works will be pushed to an early completion, as the specifications stip- ulate that the party to whom the contract is awarded will be required to exeoute the contract and furnish the bond within seven days from the date of mailing a nottce from the town clerk to the bidder that the con- tract is ready for signature, and on failure of the contractor to sign the bond he will be compelled to forfeit the check amntoh ac- companied his proposal. —_=.—__ The explosion of a kerosene stove at No. 201 Oth street northeast, about 7 o'clock this morning, resulted in @ fire scare.
