FORTIErH NuPTIAI, ANNIvERsARY


FORTIETH NUPTIAL ANNIVERSARY.
1t was in the spring time Of his life, forty years
ago, when amid all the rich coloring Of autumn
days the love Of valued friend was mated to
love, and when the romantic glamour Of youth
make all the world seem as rich and gorgeous as
the leaves Of the forest. The memory Of those
happy days, tender and beautiful, was recalled
last night, and the memory, too, Of all the warp
and wool Of married life, its sunshine and shadow
its pictures IN golden frames its fruits In silver
pitchers, Its April showers its rosy blossoms and
It's chilly storms It's dark clouds and unkind
events, hut memory was Frightened with the
thought that the world has proved more good
than bad, that Il has more sweet than bitter, and
more Of love than hate, and Il was with such
thoughts as these that Mr.. and Mrs. i. d. Moore
called IN their friends last night to celebrate with
them, in their happy home, the fortieth anniver-
sary Of their Wedding day.
The numerous friends who responded to the In
Yitations Of Mr.. and Mra. Moore brought with
them many beautiful floral gifts and handsome
presents. The congratulations were afectionate
and sincere. and the evening will be long and
pleasantly remembered by,all who were present.
Mr.. Louis d. Moore has been for long time
chief Of the loan division, Registers office, and
has host Of warmly -attached friends.

An Indignant woman writes to the New York

have not gone beyond the limit Of toleration7
These two women have lately described In letters

they wear and how they put suih garments On.
That the world does not care button what sort
Of q ehemise Mrs. SWisshelm wears or how Miss
Steele cuts and fastens her drawers ought to be

They are, OF course, bOny and ugly-fOr no pretty

But they ought TO have little modesty. II

EPISCOPAL C0NV0CAroN

REMARKS BY BISHOP PINCRNEY.
The Protestant Episcopal eonvoeation convened
yesterday morning at Christ church, in George
town, when q sermon was preached by Rev. John
H. Chew, Of st. Adams. In the evening Right
Reverend Assistant Bishop Pinekney addressed
the eonTOcation. He called attention to the i'm
portance Of giving the utmost attention TO the
Sunday schools There is nothing IN which abuse
is more detrimental than by giving the Sunday
school neglect. 1t is the most effective agent for
good, and If not receiving the proper attention
Is dangerous to the fundamental principles Of the
Church. The one who allows the child to 60
neglected is the DEVILS agent No true minister
can allow the responsibility deTOlving on him to
be done by others. He needs helpers, but not a
Eubstitute,
The work of the teachers is great and they
mast attend to their responsibilities without fal
tering. Great responsibilities rest on church con-
gregations. They must watch over the teachers
and see that the child is properly taught They
must be educated in the true Word Of God. Feed
NY lambs" is the charge given, and when the
gtoLe, Teachers must be alive 1t Is necessity
that they should 20 the schoOlrOom prepared for
their tasks. A system Of training is necessary;
and the schoOl-rOOm must present pleasant ap-
pearanse, and live teachers must be selected. He
thought the child should be instructed at home,
as well as in the Sunday-sehools. They should
be taught BY their fathers and mothers. They
should be the educators Of their children, as well
as the Sunday-sshsol teacher.
He closed BY saying that regularity Of attend
ance tended to tortify the soul, and the child
Ehould receive such encouragement as to cause
20 have q delight in visiting the schools.
Another important object to be taken into consid-
Grafton is that Of good library, composed Of
books suitable for children. Such libraries wisely
selected, move the hearts Of parents, and assist
in bringing them to the church. Books for chill
dren should be suitably advanced, in order that
the parent may be interested.
He next referred TO the discouragementS in or
gaining Sunday-schOOls. He appealed 70 the
strong TO help the weak and feed the lambs Of
God. Men must feel that they are the trustees Of
God, redOuble their energies, and aid in every
way TO establish and maintain the Sunday
schools
The offerings OF the evening were appropriated
for the extension Of missionary work within the
limits of the eOnyOcatiOn. At both sessions there
vas q large attendance Of the members OF the
Episcopal Church in the diocese, and much in
terest was manifested in the services.

DISTRICT NOTES.

Very little except routine work is now being
done at Columbia building, as all the depart
ments are engaged in preparing the annual re-
BORT. The Commissioners, 1t is understood, will
eonhne themselves simply TO resume Of the work
accomplished since their induction into Office, 3
statement Of the finances, receipts and expendi-
tures, and probably some recommendations Is to
work needed, but IL Is not eXpeeted that they viii
make any suggestions in regard 70 the future
form Of government, preferring 70 leave that sub
leet 10 the joint special committee charged with
the purpose. The board Of audit have several
clerks busily engaged in making the necessary
figures for their report, bat II viii not be CON-
pleted for some time.
The water registrar will have his completed IN
q few days, and the superintendent Of lamps has
already sent his in. Lieut. HoXie Is hard al work,
and viii probably send IN most thorough resume
Of the labOrs Of his ONCE, accounting for the small
amount Of improvements ACCOMPLISHED BY the
hHTe al the unfinished work measured, resur-
Feyed and prOhl6s made before he could allow
the work 70 be proceeded with. He will make
certain recommendations for the work needed,
and probably ask for appropriations for the Gov
eminent work.
Orders have been issued for the laying Of q
pipe sewer on Fourteenth street, between ID street
and Maryland avenue southwest.
Authority has been given to erect lamppost
on the vest side Of Connecticut avenue, between
81 and streets northwest.
