Porto Rico has resolved to mark its adoption as a colony of the United States by the adoption of a seal. To that end a committee was appointed, ineluding the governor and secretary of the island, who in turn appealed for advice and aid to Mr. Gaillard Hunt, the chief authority on the great seal of the United States, and author of the historical monograph on the subject. of Porto Rico, Spain about the middle of the The old seal nted by teenth century, presented three lead- ing features: A rock in the ocean, the ppears to the voyager be- ng the harbor of fore enter San Jua Behind the rock is shown the r | sun. ys World’s ented the next difficult nal was suggested a The choice of a crest, Work, 2 havi excep a peculiar local significane the game cock, whose present popularity the government is doing The flora was thoroughly sifted with a view to best to suppress. native ble tree.

Mr. Hunt entered into correspondence most eminent s with several of the Latinists and general scholars in the country. Of the mot- toes submitted by them the most poet- ical had for its central thought the idea of a star shining brightly in the heart of the sea; but this was open to the objection that the star is with us the recognized symbol of statehood, a condition to which Porto Rico has not attained. The successful suggestion presently came from a Washington woman, and, almost simultaneously, from Dr. David J. Hill, assistant secre- tary of state. It is from Ovid: “Pros- pera lux oritur,” literally, “A happy a “It is especially ap- propriate to the device of the sun ris- ing over a flushed sea. AMUSEs GOTHAMITES.

Where President Roosevelt Will Worship While in Washington. Grace Reformed Chapel, with a Seat- ing Capacity of 125, Will Be the Presidential Chureh for Some Years to Come. The little chapel on the rear of a lot at the corner of Fifteenth and O streets, N. W., has been selected by President Roosevelt as his church in Washington. Rev. John M. Schine D. D., will be his pastor. The pr dent is a member of the Dutch Re- formed church, The congregation which worships in the little chapel is of the German Reformed denomina- tien, but there is no difference in the tenets of faith of the two o niza- and there is no Dutch Re- d church in the city. dent Roosevelt attended ser- vice at Grace Meformed chapel, as the is known, on the only Sunday Washington he since aS spent in his inauguration. When President Roosevelt lived here as civil-service commissioner and es assistant sec- retary of the navy he did not know there was a church of the denomina- tion of his belief iu the city. How he came to learn there was one is best told in the Ss janguage of Dr. hinck, who, in discussing the sub- ject, said: “After the election, as I was read- ing the papers about the congratu- lations extended to both the dent and vice president, | was struck presi- by the fact that they were all from politicians and business men. None were reported from the clergy. I at once sat down and wrote each a letter of ulation. To Mr. Roosevelt [ communicated the fact of the existence of our little church, and welcomed him to worship with us. His reply was most hearty and ul. He said he had believed there was no church of his faith in Wash- ington and that he should accept the the invitation to attend. “On Sund the vice pr congTa y after the inauguration dent and his family came to the service in the chapel. I have ca!led on him since and he has that he will make the church his spiritual home in Washing- indicated ington.” The services in Grace Reformed chapel are conducted in English. The . JOHN M. SCHINCK. (Pastor of Grace Reformed Chapel, Wash- ington, D. C.) edifice wil seat but 150 persons, and the regular congregation taxes it to its full capacity. Sinee Dr. Schinck became pastor of the church, in Feb- ruary of last year, he has been ac- tively at work in an effort for the construction of a new building. The congregation owns the lot and the parson. property adjoining. It is the desire of Dr. Schinck to erect a one-story structure covering the en- tire ground space 50x100 feet, which will provide a seating capacity for 500 persons. The estimated cost for the new building is $30,000, and so far Dr. Schinck has pledges for a little over one-third of that amount. It was the plan to have the corner stone laid next May, when the Classis of Mary- land—the ecclesiasti government of the denomination—will hold its an- nual meeting in Baltimore. Since the death of President McKinley Dr. Schinck’is receiving many letters from clergymen and others urging him to press the matter of a new building, so that the church may ac- commodate those who will want to attend. Dr. Schinck’s eyes moistened as he discussed this point. “I have an- swered,” he said, “that i can’t take advantage of the death of President McKinley to build up my church. The matter will have to take its regular course. As soon as the way is opened we will build.” Dr. Schinck, the pastor, is a scholarly man, 53 years old. He is a native of Richmond, but bis college and theologieal education were ob- tained in Pennsyivania. An Unexpected Hoxer.
