he himself was received into the full commun-

mission OF North India was founded, he re-
signed his passionate and went to India, being
appointed to Allahabad, where he remained all
the time he was in India. In addition to the
ordinary duties of a missionary he took part in
founding the Indian Evangelical Rerie,r. the
common organ OF Protestant missions in India
and also did exceptionally good work as secre-
tary OF the North Indian Tract Society in pro-
noting Hindi and Urdu literature. In 1872
he was actively instrumental in founding the
theological training school of the synod Of
India, in which he labOred until 1876, when
after returning from six months furlough in
America, he was called back by the death Of his
father and was compelled to give up missionary
work for an indefinite period. In 1878 he was
called to the Western Presbyterian Church and
has since labOred there with acceptance and
success.

January ID, 1856. The members originally
gathered in a chapel at the corner of 22d and +
streets, this being the outgrowth of prayer
meetings held as early as April, 1S4S, by David
N. Nelson. then ruling elder in the Fourth
Presbyterian Church. In 1854 Rev. s. N. Has
kell Of the Union Theological Seminary was
called as pastor and the first sermon was
preached May IA, 1854. The present church

and dedicated June Z, 1857. The church has

the nearest Presbyterian church is quite mile
away. Ever since its beginning in 1881 this
church has grown rapidly. so that from the
small meetings that used to be held at Clabaugh
Hall it now has a chapel, a membership of over
$50 and Sunday school with more than 800
members.
Rev. George B. Patch, the pastor, was born
at Hartford, VT, and educated at Dartmouth
College. From there he came to Washington
and studied theology here. being licensed to
preach in 1873 and ordained and installed in
1875. His first charge was at the Eastern Pres
byterian Church, but for the last six years he
has been the pastor of Unity. where his minis
tration has been attended with the greatest
success and marked by wonderful growth in
the church. Unity is not the offshOot of
any other church, but was the outgrowth of
the meetings held in Clabaugh Hall in the fall
Of 1881. The church was organized in that hall
IN March, 1882, but in the fall of 1884 it moved
into the chapel that covers a small portion Of
Its property on 14th street. Already this chapel
has proved to be inadequate to accommodate
the large congregations that attend the SER
vices, and steps are now being taken looking
toward the erection of handsome structure
that will cover the entire lot and be notable

"Oh, Count" exclaimed Popof, deeply

Brooklyn Eagle.]
Mr.. Gould is said to be growing gloomy
of late.> He was never particularly jolly
man, but he was not unlike the late A. T.
Stewart in his quiet and almost embarrassed
enjoyment OF joke. Mr.. Gould had a way
of folding his arms and humping his
shoulders forward when he was going to
laugh. and used to chuckle with great
deal of enjoyment over Russell Sage's
saturnine comments on men and things
whenever the two millionaires lunched to-
gether.
This was year or two ago, however
For a tWelvemonth past Mr.. Gould's Jokes
have been few and far between and Mr.
Sage does not play the comedian with as
much success as formerly. 1t is said by his
intimates that Mr.. Gould has the morbid
horror of losing his fortune that attacks
most millionaire spectators when they
reach an advanced age. 1t. is now exceed
ingly difficult to get the great fnancier even
to listen to propositions. and he has drilled
his sons into such conservative habits that
they regard new fields OF investment with
instructive antagonism. 1t would appear
that Mr.. Gould knows when he has enough
after all.

majesty would be the signal and mark for
musket shot from a sentinel. This peaceful
furling of parasols is far away reminder of
the tyranny of Amurath Fourth (1623), who
opened batteries on boats impeding his
view, and sent all on board to the bottom.
Those were the days OF the sword
and the bowstring, when sunrise over
the Bosporus revealed on its shores
corpses of victims nightly strangled;
and so familiar with executions were
the abject councillors of the Divan that,
when summoned to appear at the Sublime
Porte, they usually made the death ablution
before entering the presence of the despot.
He it was who, amid small murders, be-
headed his chief musician for singing a
Persian air, and decreed: "Those of my
illustrious offspring who ascend the throne
may put their brothers to death in order to
secure the peace of the world"
NOT so IMPOSING AS OF OLD.
The whole ceremony of marching to the
Mosque is much changed since the Oriental
dress has vanished. The flowing robes
crusted with precious stones, the jeweled
turbans and cimeters dazzling the sight are
now to be seen only in museums and treas
ure houses. Anciently the war horse of the
King of a hundred kings pranced on carpets
soft as plush spread along the way from
Seraglio Point to st. Sophia, to be taken up
and then distributed among the crowd.
Still the troops are of martial and impos-
ing carriage-picked men of the Empire
from the Soudan to Albania. Turkish cav
airy has long been admitted the finest in
Europe; and first among them are the Cir
cassians, bodyguard of the Sultan, whom
Russell, OF the London Times, called the
most picturesque scoundrels in the world.
They are bloodthirsty and treacherous, re-
nowned for reckless bravery and matchless
beauty of the pure Caucasian type. Even
among the meanest of them you see noble,
well-set heads of finest mold, testifying to
unmixed blood Of the most perfect of living
races. They wear curious arms and silver
cartridge pockets at their breasts in memory
of 25 years struggle against Russia under
their prophet CHEZ, Schamyl. when their
power was first shattered and broken.
OFF FOR THE BosPoRus.
The Sultan enters the Mosque with one
Imam to offer the prayer none other is en-
titled to utter. The ranking officers Of the
army and navy in full uniform, with jeweled
orders and decorations. wait at the entrance.
The stay within is short; the half hour soon
passes, the royal suppliant reappears, re-
mounts the fretting desert-born, the guards
close round him. the multitude cheer, "Long

industries of restless Christian nations are
unknown to the descendants of men who
rayaged the earth under Genghis Khan and
Tamerlane.
Friday, the Mohammedan Sunday. is the
most delightful of all the week. 1t is an
interruption to labor, if there be any, be-
cause then the Sultan makes his only out
ing; the whole population rouses and goes
to see the one sovereign of Europe who can
trace his lineage through four centuries, an
unbroken succession, without the scepter
once declining to the distaff, and without
the accession Of collateral branch. He is
thirtv-first ruler of the house of Gilman,
reaching back to Sheik Ertogrul of glorious
memory, founder of the Ottoman dynasty,
who was buried at Eske Scheher 1898.
A TRIUMPHAL MARCH.
About o'clock in the afternoon the Com
mander of the Faithful leaves Yildiz-
Palace of the Star-mounted usually on .
milk white Arabian, which he manages
with a delicate and skillful hand. he
wears the Uniform of an army officer, with
out ornament except q slight dress sword.
His bearing is kingly, bis face thin and
colorless, eyes black and keen as a falcon s;
in his lofty ease there is a mingling of
ierceness and gentleness, as becomes the de-
scendant of the most illustrious warrior of
Islam, the successful wooer of the fair
Malkhatoon.
If the old Tartar blood is dominant in
Abdul Hamid Second, one would not sus-
pect it while he bows right and left, as
though by lifelong contact with different
races he had caught and united in himself
the graces of them all. Seeing him thus We
readily believe that the wearer of the sword
of Othman, uncontrolled master of fifty
millions, has so kindly nature he has never
signed death warrant. His manner is al
WAYS winsome and gracious, in the throne
room the perfection of that subtle attraction
conveyed to our minds by the word courtly
"a charm far beyond the reach of mere per-
sonal appearance.
DECLINE OF PHYSICAL BEAUTY.
Some of the royal family have had great
beauty inherited from Circassian mothers.
An English artist who painted Abdul
Medjid, father to the present Sultan, de-
clared he had never seen so fine a mouth; it
was a perfect Cupid's bow. Physically, the
house has declined since Turkish corsairs
secured the Mediterranean country for
women worthy the name of Sultana, and
stole high born Venetian ladies to adorn the
Imperial harem. '
There must be no umbrellas opened in
presence of the Shadow of God upon earth.
