 Bright Weather and We'll Filled sanc- tuarfes-Bricks for a New Church-A Sermon's Repetition Misunderstanding Church Treasurfes.
 Yesterdays fine and unexceptionable late November weather had it's due effect in well filling the churches at the different services, and at the Sunday schools the children seemed to be,out in force At the Catholic churches, the attendance, usually large was exceptionally SO.
 HUMPHREY STREET CHURCH.
 The Rev. Mir. Bray preached yesterday morning an earnest discourse on the danger of delay. A large congregation was present. The revival services at this church held dur ing three or four weeks past have been well attended and considerable religious interest has been manifested and a number have pro- fesssd religion. On account of Thanksgiv- ing week only two evening meetings are to be held this week, one on Tuesday and one on Friday evening. The sale of ''bricks" by the children has resulted in a large number being disposed of. One boy, whose father is Mr. Parsons, of the Clock shop, living on. Bishop street, sold 240, making $24 for the church building fund. Charles Wilson and H. P. Hubbard each gave $1 900 toward the new church.
 ST. JOHN STREET M. E. CHURCH.
 The concert by Philip Phillips at the St. John street M. E. church last Monday even- ing netted about $40 for the church funds. The church had one.third of the net pro- ceeds, which amounted to about $33, which MT. Phillips increased to $4O. The church has engaged Miss E. Parrish, of New York, | HTz-. H. evening.
 THIRD CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. Dr. Dennen preached yesterday from the well-known proposition of St. Paul, "The just shall live by faith" It WAS one of the best sermons, in the opinion of constant list eners, they had ever heard. The propositions l were clearly taken, ably advocated and beau tifully illustrated. It is declared that ftsuch blending of spiritual insight with telescopic power of intellect must inevitably arrest the attention and gain the admiration of all who are willing to be convinced of the depth and force of the evangelical truths of Chris tianity." Many say they hope it will be re- peated, and it is urged furthermore that 'tit would be an improvement to light the gas when the shades of evening gather round us early.''
 Rev. Dr. Harwood at Trinity last evening preached beautiful discourse. His theme was in reference to the transitory character of mans earthly sojourn and the importance of eternal life, and the subject was enriched by illustrations finely suggestive. ''The sum- mer is past, the harvest is ended, and we are not saved"
 At Center church Rev. Mir. Staats, of Bris- tol, formerly pastor in Fair Haven, preached morning and afternoon, giving two interest ing discourses.
 Through some mistake portion of the churches were not supplied with copy of the Governors Thanksgiving proclamation, and consequently the usual custom of read ing it in the pulpit was omitted

TaueytOwn Items.

On Monday evening last news reached TINS
place that the bank barn ct Jesephus HOOK
ensmith, in Frederick county, about % miles
from here. built about two years ago, was de-
streyed BY fire, together with four valuable
horses, besides machinery, farming nipple
ments, &C. The origin of the hire Is not pos
itively known, but it is surmlsed that chllureh
playing near by caused it. When discovered
it had made such Roadway that the horses
could not be gotten out. Sparks from tnls
barn set the barn of Mr.. Sluss, about 4oo
Yards off, on fire, and it was also entirely de-
stroyed. Fortunately, Mr.. Absalom Smith,
wbiie burryino to the first named fire, was
passing Mr.. Sluss's as the FIRE made Its ap-
pearance there, and he took horse, besides
other articles which he could quickly handle,
from the burning building, which, but for the
timely presence of Mr.. Smith, would have
undoubtedly burned up, as Mr.. Slsss was at
the first named fire. Mr.. Hockensmith loss
is about So, 500, on which there Is an lnsur,
ance in the Baltimore county company OF
81, 400. Mr.. Sluss' loss is between Sl,2oo
and 81, 500, with ne insurance.

Tuesday last to Freedom district, where ne

and continued the better part of the day,

Proof Of Animal Life in Other Planets.

Two interesting problems which have long
perpiexed the scientific world appear TO have
been AZ las, definitely solved by the emiaent
geoIogist Dr. Hahn These questions are,
first. whether or not celestial bodies other
than the earth. bsl0ngiHg 20 our solar syslrsn
are inhabited by animate beings, and second
In. whether the meieorie stones FROM time TO
time east up0n the surface ef this globe ema'
nate from ineandesceRt comets OF IRON vol.
canic planets That they at no time formed
a part Of the earth itself has besa conclusive
" demonstrated.
Dr. Hahn has recently completed series
Of investigations upon some Of the huge mete-
eric stones that Tell from the skies ia Hunga'
rydaring the summer Of 1896. Thin lamlnH
Of these mysterious bodies, subjected 70 ex-
animation under powerful microscope, have
been found to contain eorailiRe and spOngeous
formations, and 10 reveal unmisiakable traces
Of the lower forms Of vegetation. All the or
ganisms, animal and vegetable, discovered by
Dr. Hahn in the delicate stone shavings he
has thus dealt with indicate the condition Of
their parent world to be one Of what IS tech
n,eally termed primary formation. But
the presence Of water ia that world IS proved
by the fact that the tiny petrihed creatures re
yealed by the magic Of the lens one and all
belong TO the so-called subaque0as classes of
animals. They could not have existed IN
comets, at least if the assumption be correct
that these are in state Of active combustion.
