ORANGE AND GREEN.
A Pitched Battle Between English and
Irish Girls.

special dispatch from Fall River states that
st. Patrick IL the innocent cause of strike
that has caused the big Hargrave's mills to
close down and throw about 700 people out of
work. In the carding rooms the girls are
evenly divided between Scotch, English and
Americans on one side and Irish on the other
The latter, preparing to do honor to their
patron saints birthday, decorated both their
machines and themselves with green ribbons
and bows.
The other side in spirit of mischief ap-
peared similarly decked out with orange and
blue colors. This was Friday. The Irish girls
we're quite angry and said the other side in
tended to insult them and some hard words
passed. This led to some unknown person
tearing all the green of the machines.
An Irish girl charged an American maiden
with being the culprit and slapped her. An
English girl took the victims part and knocked
the Irish girl down. There was a free fight for
little time before the men could separate
the combatants. Both sides then went on a
strike until opponents promised to give up
their emblems. The Irish refused and the big
mill will stay closed until ST. Patrick's day is
over.

A RECONSTRUCTED CHURCH.
HE Members Of Hamline Take Posses.
sion Of Their Improved Structure.

Yesterday was a great day In the history OF
Hamline ME. church. For some months past
the main audience room Of that ediice has
been closed and yesterday morning it was again
opened for public worship. In the meantime
large force Of workmen had been busily en-
gagged in adding to Its size, comfort and artistic
appearance. On the lower floor there had also
been additions and improvements made, but
the more striking changes had been made up
stairs. The principal feature is the magnificent
pipe organ, situated in the rear Of the pulpit,
constructed from specifications drawn by Prof.
Jarvis Butler. The organ fills the entire width
10 feet and almost the entire height-of grace
full archway. Its depth-16 feet-is within a
recess. The instrument has three manuals, %
stops and l,25O pipes. The front pipes are
handsomely decorated in gold and colors, so as
to harmonic with the fresco work which
adorns the walls and ceiling OF the church.
Seats have been placed in what was once the
choir gallery; the west ends of the two side
galleries have stairways leading to the main
floor and the seating capacity of the church has
been largely increased. The floor has been
newly carpeted and everything necessary to the
comfort of preacher and congregation has been
done. In the new portion of the structure adj
ditional class rooms have been provided and a
very nice apartment has been placed at the dis
posal OF the pastor, Rev. II. X. Naylor, DID,, for
. study.
There was scarcely a foot Of unoccupied
standing room in the church yesterday morn
ing when Bishop Merrill announced his text:
1t was the greatest crowd that ever got inside
the walls Of Hamline. After the sermon was
over subscriptions were taken up to aid in pay
ing OH the Indebtedness incurred in making
the Improvements and the sum of 5000 was
raised without any apparent exertion.
Al the evening service the sermon was by the
Rev. L. ). Todd of Grace Nj. Z. church, Balti-
more. Bishop Hurst was to have occupied the
pulpit. but the sudden decease of Mrs. Hurst
on Friday evening made that impossible. When
DIR. Todd concluded his sermon additional sub
strlptions were solicited to meet certain ex-
penses not provided for by the mornings COL
lection and the necessary sum-S6O0-was Sc
cured In very brief period
A special musical program was rendered
by q reinforced choir under the leadership of
Mr.. W. ii. Pope. Mr.. Frank Calhoun was the
organist and he showed the capabilities of the
new instrument in highly satisfactory man
ner.
During the week services will be conducted
every evening by former pastors of the church
Tonight at 7:30 there will be preaching by
Rev. L.. L. Waterman; the other evenings will
be occupied. In the order named, by Rev. G.

PROMOTED AT LAST.
An Example Of Peculiar Methods In the
Navy.

4
The announcement in TEE STAR the other day
that Assistant Engineer R. s. Griffin Of the
navy had passed his physical examination for
promotion to the grade of passed assistant
engineer caused considerable amusement
| among naval officers who have kept informed
of the case Mr.. Griffin is a slight man, but
| endowed with an unusual amount of brains and
his services in the bureau of steam engineering
for the past year SO have been invaluable
1t became necessary for him to appear before
the naval examining board in Philadelphia
about a fortnight before Christmas for exam
after the fashion established for many years
back. He journeyed over apparently in the
best of health and well primed for the mental
part of the examination which was to follow
After he had been tapped on the chest a couple
of times and put through few of the regulation
formula of such process he was astounded by
the statement that the board could not pass
him as qualified to go to sea. this being the
standard on which the examination of candi-
dates for promotion is conducted. The trouble
they said, was lung disease, a complaint of
which the officer had never had the slightest
suspicion.
SOUND IN EVERY PARTICULAR
Bewildered and half frightened, he fastened
home, and about the first thing he did was to
o. w Wv ~ sNN SS's opcciaiiese
this city, and concealing his identity from him,
requested him to make a thorough examination
of his lungs. The result of this examination
was a certificate to the effect that the person
examined was sound in every particular. He
then went to a naval surgeon to whom he was
known and the same result followed. Armed
with these documents he applied to the Secre-
tary for new examination by some other
board. but it finally decided that he had
better go back to the Philadelphia board. This
time. however, the board had their backs up
over some statements of the case that had crept
into the newspapers and refused to reconsider
their finding. A peculiar feature of the case
was that in the first examination one of the
reasons for rejection was recent rapid emacia-
ton, based ON the report.of the board which
had examined Mr.. Griffin six years before
These records showed that he had gained six
pounds in the meantime.
But the matter was not allowed to rest here.
The Secretary shown the two certificates,
and he at once ordered the officer before the
me deal board sitting in this city, which passed
him without question last Monday. He has
now gone to Philadelphia for the mental exam
nation.
There are many cases on record in the de-
partment that show just such carelessness in
the examination of officers, and some very
funny stories are told OF cases where papers
have been mixed and men sent to the wrong
kind of examination. II is said that there is a
case to be found in the files of medical officer
who was found unfit for promotion because of
deficiency in knowledge of obstetrics.
