DIR. Hamilton Honored.

fkoA THE MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE TO AN EDI-
ToRsHIP-wHo WILL SUCCEED HIM.
At a meeting of the trustees of the Journal Of
of the American Medical Association, held in
Chicago on Saturday, DR.. John B. Hamilton,
surgeon-general of the marine hospital service,
was elected editor of the Journal, to succeed
DIR. N. 8. Davis, 1t is not yet generally known
when DR.. Hamilton will commence his editor
1al duties, but it seems to be understood among
attaches of the marine hospital bureau that
DR.. Hamilton viii not resign until the close of
the present administration. The question of a
successor has already been discussed very
freely, and each candidates friends are on the
alert. There are fifteen surgeons who are eligi-
Bile for the appointment. and according to
seniority of service the first on the list il DIR.
y. III. Bailhache, now stationed in Philadelphia.
The question of seniority has not hitherto been
considered in the promotion to the surgeon
generalship, and the present incumbent was,
at the time OF his appointment, the junior of
number OF surgeons. The probabilities seem
to point to the promotion of DIR. George W.
Stoner, now chief of the purveying and quar-
antine division at the marine hospital head
quarters in this city. DIR. Stoner graduated as
surgeon in the same class as DIR. Hamilton. the
latter securing first honors. while Dr. Stoner
took second place. Surgeon-General Hamil-
ton was in Chicago at the time of his election.
and viii return to this city tomorrow.

IN ST. MARX'S HALL.
The COlored Mission Work Of st. Johns
Parish-Awarding Certificates to the
Girls.

On 23d street, between G and H streets north
west, stands a group of church buildings in
closed BY brick wall. The central building of
the group consists of a new and pretty brick
chapel, whose light filters through cathedral
and stained glass windows. Alongside is a
quaint frame structure of many years standing
resembling little church, while to the rear of
the latter is a neat and commodious brick edi-
flee lighted principally by dormer windows.
The first building is known as the new st.
Mary's Chapel" the second as "St. Mary's Pa
rochial School," and the third as st. Mary's
Hall" The group forms the headquarters Of
St. Johns mission work among the colored
people OF the northwestern section of the city,
Many Of the members Of the Parish church on

ST. MaryA The mission is now in flourish
ing condition. Mrs. Bancroft Davis is greatly
interested in this mission, her muniicent gifts
and Jealous labors, contributing largely to the
present success of the mission Her husband
Is also much interested in the work, giving to
1t his hearty sympathy and influence. Some
seven years ago Mrs. Davis originated an I'm
dustrial School for the training of colored
girls in the various branches Of household
work. Her next step was to build the present
St Mary's hall, in order to accommodate the
school. contributing largely of her own means
toward that object. Then followed the erec-
ton Of the new chapel of st. Mary's. Toward
this enterprise Judge and Mrs. Davis also gave
literally, and through the interest taken by the
present rector and vestry of st. Johns, and an
unstinted expenditure Of money by them the
chapel was soon completed and dedicated.
Last Saturday afternoon a large audience gath
cred in st. Mary's hall to witness the awarding
of certificates OF proficiency to class of eight
eolored girls in the department of nee dlework.
Among those present were Mrs. Bancroft
Davis, president of the school; Mrs. DR.. Leon
ard, Mrs. Admiral Worden, Mrs. General
Emory, Miss Jane Wilkes, Miss Mary Clymer.
Mrs. DIR. Hagner, DR.. and Miss Reyburn, the
Misses Harriet and Mary Mexican, DC. The

Quoted by the Rev. DR.. Leonard, rector of st.
Johns, who afterward read the annual report
of the sewing school. which stated that there
are at present 122 pupils in the department of
needlework. and that the institution is in a
hopeful and encouraging condition. Before

The Knights General Assembly.
STORMY TIMES EXPECTED AT THE SESSION WHICH
BEGINS AT INDIANAPOLIS TOMORROW.

Au0 huISHuS' Ucuera1 Assembly,
STORMY TIMES EXPECTED AT THE SESSION WHICH
BEGINS AT INDIANAPOLIS TOMORROW.
The general assembly of the knights of labor
will meet in annual session at Indianapolis on
Tuesday. About $50 delegates will be in at
tendance. There has been large decline in
the membership, but how large the secretary
and treasurer refuse to disclose before submit
ting their reports to the assembly. stormy
session is expected, as it is pretty certain that
charges will be filed against the Canisteo, n
Y, district assembly for sending out under its
seal a campaign circular, prepared by E. F.
Gould, asserting that General Harrison had
said that dollar day was enough for any
workingman. There is also much important
legislation that will probably be proposed, in
Guiding new plan for the collection of the per
capita tax and the reduction of salaries for the
general executive officers. The sentiment in
favor of reducing the salaries of the general
officers is strong, and it is understood that it
has the endorsement of Powderly. The gen.
eral master workmans salary will be reduced
to $1,000 or $4,000. There will be strong
fight against the reelection of PowderIy as
general master workman. However, it is prob
able that Powderly will decline to be a candi-
date again. Wm F. Lewis, Of Columbus, Ohio,
master workman of the miners assembly, it is
expected will prove strong competitor for
POwderly's place.

He WANTS YOU'VE LEE PARDoNED.-A petit
ton to Gov. Oglesby, of Illinois, for the par
don Of Willie Lee, who shot Banker Rawson,
was circulated in Chicago Saturday by Seth F.
Crews, attorney for young Lees mother, Mrs.
Rawson. Lee was sentenced to eighteen
months in jail October l6, 1887 and executive
clemency was invoked because he had served
all but six months of the term and because of
his extreme youth. Young Lee shot the banker
at the time that stories were circulated deroga-
tory to his mothers character before she mar
ried the banker. The affair happened in
Chicago, on Sunday, and Rawson was shot as
he came out OF church. His injuries were for
long time believed to be fatal, but he re-

A New English Fraud.

A PREACHER AND PHOTOGRAPHER WORKING THE
PUBLIC TOGETHER.
Correspondence of the New York Star
A sojourner on the Isle Of Thanet has made
the curious discovery that there is an outdoor
preacher frequenting the beaches Of the Kent
ish watering places who has entered into a pri-
vate partnership with an itinerant photogra-
pher. The course of business is thus described:
After the preacher has gathered his congrega-
ton and got them into placid state of mind
by the singing of hymn he looks round with
a smile and SAYS:
"My friends, before we proceed any further
/ should like to mention that it has occurred to
me that as we are here assembled, it might be
interesting to some of you if photograph was
taken as you sit Our friend here says that the
light is exceedingly favorable and that the op-
Grafton will not take more than a few seconds.
Is that sO?''
To which the gentleman with the lens and
stand is represented as replying promptly,
Certainly, sir" on which the preacher, ad,
dressing the audience, observed: IL hope you
will clearly understand that this is quite vol
untary act on the part Of Mr. Mr. Mr.
what name?"
and the preacher continues: Yes Mr. Smith;
and that 1t involves no charge. But of course
if any of you would like to take away me-
mento you are quite at liberty to do So The
copies are-ahem!-what did you say the price
was, Mr.. Smith,"
"a shilling each. SIR" is the answer.
"Quite So" CALCULATES his interrogation.
snow, if you please to keep quite still while
Mr.. Smith is making his preparations have no
doubt we shall get beautiful picture and then
we will proceed with the service"
Whereupon we are assured, the photogra-
Pher gets to work and generally manages to
dispose of a dozen copies or So The first time
that the sojourner in the Isle Of Thanet wit
messed this little scene he was, he says under
the impression that the preacher was simply
good-natured person DESTROYS of giving a poor
photographer turn: but, having then seen it
repeated without variation in the details, he
has been forced to a less indulgent conclusion.
