EAST WASHINGTON.


The appearance of old Sol, after q long
seige of very disagreeable weather, had
much to do with giving to the East Wash
ingt0n churches rather largo sized congre-
cations yesterday. Rev j. w. Gray, of the
First NJ p. Church, discoursed on Spiritual
Manifestations in the morning. Rev. S.
S. Wallen, of the Eastern Presbyterian
Church, preached from the text, kiss the
Son" The prayer.meeting topic at the
Metropolitan Baptist Church in the evening
was Superstition Chaplain Kramer con-
Quoted divine services in the United States
Navy-Yard, beginning at 1890 o'clock q.
m. In the evening Gospel temperance
meeting was held at the Seamen's Bethel
Retreat, ia l. street southeast. Very
interesting services were also held at ST..
Marks and Christ p. L. Churches. The
Church of the Reformation contained an
unusually large congregation. The revival
at Waugh M. L. Church continues to be a
spiritual attraction, with the lady evan
gclists as magnets.
The police officers on the East Capitol
street beat heard n suspicious noise in the
hallway of a residence ON that thoroughfare
few nights ago. The house was quickly
surrounded by the trio, and one of the
number rang the front door bell A third
story window was Immediately thrown up.
and the form of a man appeared, with the
exclamation, What's up down there?"
One of the officers replied, ''There's y sus-
picious noise in your hallway" bah W
retorted the white figure up at the win
dow, there's u blamed sight more noise
outside than there is in here" And as
the window banged down, three dis
gusted policemen meandered away down
the street, half-fro2en and not caring "a
red" whether all the bold burglars in
Christendom broke into the house or not.
The temperance meeting at Hams Hall,
Anacostia, yesterday, was well attended,
while the addresses and music were of n
