THE SATURDAY LECTURES.
DIR. Bakers Interesting But Too Techni
cnI Discourse on Phrenology.

DIR. Bakers Interesting But Too Techni-
cnI Discourse on PhrenoloSy.
DR.. Frank Baker lectured Saturday after
noon at the National museum, upon
"The New Phrenology." The lecturer had
thirty or more diagrams illustrating tho
different sections of the brain, the motor and
sonsory areas, reAeXcs, and the brain and it's
membranes. At the outset the lcc-
turer explained the difference be-
tween the old and new theories.
The former was held to by charlatans whilo
the latter was receiving new life by scientific
investigation. Phrenology was originally
announced in Vienna, and anatomists of that
period were not acquainted with the
brain as they are to-day. Phrenology had
made but slow progress, and for tho last
thirty years it had hardly been heard of in
respectable society. Eminent men were now
investigating its merit, and the evidence so
far was favorable to it in scientific
view. In 1929 much attention was
given the subject, and over 100 skulls were
examined in France by physicians, among
them were many of noted criminals, and
considerable data was collected as to the the
cries then advanced by phrenologists. The
formation of tho skull was explained at
length, as also the exterior and interior OF
the brain. The relations of the different
organs Of the body with the brain were also
explained. The nervous system and its ae-
ton. and the various attendant causes impel-
ling its action, by exterior and interior rela-
tons werethen described.
The lecturer then entered upon a discus.
sion of his subject, under three heads: The
phenomena of the brain. the separate organ
sms of the brain, and lastly, the external
impressions made to these organs. The
anatomy of the brain was then explained
infinitely. From scientific view the lecture
may be said to claim due praise, but Judging
from the composite character of the audience,
three-fourths of whom were ladies, Bomc
comment was expressed as to the abstruse
manner in which the subject matter was
presented. 1t could not be called popular,
for large portion of it was expressed in
scientific terms unintelligible to the general
comprehension.

CAUGHT AND LOCKED UP.
The culPrlt who Assaulted Mrs. BloSton
CAPTURED by the Georgetown Police.


Captured by the Georgetown Police.
About $50 o'clock Saturday night last as
Mrs. Annie Bloxton, about - years of age,
housekeepor for Commissioner Dent and
very estimable lady, was going on an
errand to store on Thirty.socon street she
took short cut from Valley street through
Brown street and yard, and while in the
darkest part Of the yard was accosted sud-
his object was robbery, she was
about to hand over to him the
money in her possession, when no struck her
violently in the face seized her by tho
throat. and choking hor, threw her to the
ground, and attempted an outrage. Mrs.
Bloxton, although nearly stunned, fought the
sCoundrel with all her might and getting
one of his fingers in her mouth bit it severely.
At the same time she screamed loudly for
help, and, her cries being heard, several per-
sons hurried to the spot, but before any one
could reach him the mscreantr ran Off through
Brown into Valley street and made his escape
Mrs. Bloxton, severely bruised and bleeding
from the face, was picked up and taken to
the residence of Mr. Dent where she was
attended by DIR. Peter. The affair was re-
ported to the police about 8 o'clock and an
immediate investigation entered upon, but
nothing definite could be asCertained that
night Yesterday morning IL was learned
that Co,ored man by the name of Joseph
Gray was seen on Saturday night on Valley
street, barehoaded, and hat having shortly
afterwari being found in n lot, between
Valley and Thirty-second streets, just below
the scene of tho attempted outrage,
Sergeant Trunnel about 10 u. m. went
to the home of Gray, 330S q street,
and arresting Gray, took him to the third
precinct station, whore he was locked up.
The prisoner is u rather prcpoSsessing looking
negro, about % years old. On examination
at the station he was found to have the fore
finger of his right hand bitten, the prints of
the teeth being plainly visible. There was
blood on one of his shirt cuffs, rs also upon
his hat. Gray says that he was drunk upon
Saturday night, and cannot tell where he was;
but knew that he was not on Valley street.
He states that the wound on his finger was
from q lime burn, which ho received while
mixing mortar and that the blood on his cuff
came from that.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Bloxton was able
to go to the station house, and the prisoner
being brought before her, she fully identified
him as her assailaut. Lieutenant Kelly and
his men have enorgetically pushed their in
vestigation, and with such effect as to result
in obtaining such evidence as will inevitably
establish the guilt OF the villain. The citi-
zens o! that section are highly gratifed at the
energy and ability displayed by the police of
the third precinct in SO quickly ferreting out
and bringing to justice the dastardly mis-.
Creant.

THE w. G. r. u. MEETING.
Proceedings or the Temperance Move
ment Ht Masonic Temple.

In spite of the rain there was good audi
ence yesterday afternoon at the temperance
meeting in Masonic Temple. Mrs. Clara l..
Roach presided. Mr. Frank Woodman con-
Quoted the music. Prayer was offered by Mr..
Wilson and Il portion Of the Scriptures was
read by Mrs Rodgers.
Rev. $. Il. Forbes, of Connecticut, was in
troducod, and said he would try to encourage
the temperance workers of the district, as he
thought they need all they can get from all
the states, having not only to contend with
the liquor traffic here, but with the men in
the capitol who are i'll sympathy with the
traffic.
Mrs. Frances T. Harper, of Philadelphia, an
intelligent and educated colored woman,
superintendent of tho National w. G. T. u,
was introduced, and said that,reforms are the
outgrowths of the thought and efforts of gen.
orations. As an evidence of great advances
which have taken place, she spoke of hor
visit to this city over twenty years ago, when
she was refused admission to the capitol
building on account of the color of her skim
but since then she has seen persons of her
| own color sitting in the councils of the ma
tion. With these victories before us, she
said. we should not be discouraged in the
fight with the evils of intemperance. Still
it is no childs play to put away a traffic
which has so many millions involved. She
said an objection is often made to prohibition
on the ground that men will do almost any
thing and 90 almost anywhere to get liquor
but this, she held should urge us to greater
effort to put away the evil
Mrs. Hartsock wife Of the Rev. s. NJ. Hart
sock, made some very interesting remarks
about temperance being a Christian work
and urged the workers to BIO of one mind in
Christ
Rev. DR., Shipper referred to tho efforts
made to save persons from shipwrcek, which
is Christlike, and claimed we ought like
wise to do all we can to rescue our brother
| from drunkard's fate.

THE NEW WAITER WORKS.

Progress OF tho enterprise anu the BfOs-
poets OF Completion.
The work on the now water extension is
progressing. There are five working shafts
along the line, which extends from Great
Falls to the head Of Fifth street, where the
reservoir is to be located, distance Of about
four miles. These shafts are at Great Falls,
Foundry branch, Rock creek, Champlain
avenue and at tho reservoir site. At Foundry
branch and Rock creek shafts the required
depth have been sunk and the tunnel
ing commenced, distance of go feet
having been completed in the former
and 100 feet in tho latter. In Cham
plain avenue shaft q depth Of 96 feet has been
reached, they arc now digging through solid
gneiss rock and average about foot day
This shaft when completed will be ITO feet
deep. At the reservoir shalt about 70 feet
depth have been reached and they expect to
penetrate SO feet further. The machinery for
drilling, hosting rock, &C., is being rapidly
put in place, and will be worked by means of
compressed air. At tho reservoir consider
able work has been done, the sod and soil
having been removed from the northwest
portion. The proposed tunnel 10 to be "a by
IL feet in size.
Under the hills it will be at depth of
from $50 to 300 feet below the surface 1t is
to DO cut through solid rock, and no masonry,
except in the shafts, will be required. The
work is continued day and night by force
of about $50 men,
The contract requires the completion Of the
work within sixteen months from the COM
mencement, which was about the first of
Decem Der. 1888, but it Is generally thought
that two years will BIO required. Ar
rangements will be made to save the
Congressional spring, which is situated
within the limits Of the reservoir. This will
involve the raising of the spring house above
the surface Of the water and the careful re-
laying of the pipe in cement. The immense
cast iron pipes for connection with the main
and for conveying tho water from the reser
voir have been mostly delivered. These will
be laid at a depth of sixty-seven feet below
the surface at the reservoir. At Great Falls
it is proposed to modify the contract for the
dam by substituting for the crib dam across
the Virginia channel a solid masonry dam, if
the consent of the secretary Of war and the
chief Of engineers can be obtained.

At the Assembly church yesterday evening
Rev. George o. Little discoursed of the half
shekel levied by the law of Moses upon all
lsraelites for the support of the holy temple
and of the Sayiour's compliance with the law,
taking for his text Matthew, xvii, 2l-2z
This amount, according to josophus, was the
same from rich and poor, and after tho burn
ing Of tho temple, was, by decree of Yes
pasian perverted to the Roman Golfers and
subsequently became political captation
tax. Jesus, who had been absent ministering
in Jerusalem, was told by Peter Of tho tax,
and being assured it was eXacted by all,
asked, Are not then the sons of the king
eXCmpted?' But, anticipating Peters reply,
commanded him to cast his net and he would
thus BE- enabled to pay for both. While
Christ was in the form of a servant he thus
chose to conform to rules governing his class
and first asserting his rights he waived them
afterward. In temporal affairs the Masters
example might probably be initiated. No
man should submit to imposition without first
asserting his rights, but waving of them will
often, without II sacrifice of mauliness show
golden example for others.

Mission Work In the Orient.

At the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church last night Rev. H. II. Jessup, mis-
sionary to Syria, preached missionary SER
mon to large congregation. DIR. Jessup
commenced by speaking of the Mohammedan
religion, in which 1S5,000,000 believe. If the
Turkish race was Christiani2ed it would be
one of the noblest races of the world. Ec-
cesiastical property is exempted from
taxation by their laws. There are
numbers of fourishing colleges, filled with
male and female students. The speaker then
gave graphic picture of Turkish court, the
judge of which will accept bride of fifty
cents in open court. He saw judge listen
ing to the arguments Of four criminals at one
time. They have very loose way of collect
ing taxes, the collectors get as much money
us they can out of the people. Slave hunters

the men and women and take
the children of and make slaves OF
them. American missionaries during the
last thirteen months have been allowed re-
markable privileges. Tens of thousands of
copies Of the Scriptures, in the Arabic lam
guage, have been sold to Turks in Con.
stantinople. There are thirteen newspapers
there and number of printing presses in

Eleventh Anniversary OF DIR. Buucr's

Rev, DIR. j. G. Butler yesterday preached
from the text Matthew iv, %. Tho sermon
was commemorative of the eleventh ami
versary Of the Memorial Lutheran church.
He spoke Of the many discouragements sur
rounding life, and true spiritual growth.
The true secret was in the will of man. The
proper exemplhcation of the will led to true
Christian duty and formed habits of lifo
among which was that OF giving to tho Lord.
This bestowment of goods to the Lord was a
necessary part of the religious training OF
the soul. In conclusion he appealed to his
congregation to wipe out the debt of $4,000
which was now upon the church.
