Of royalty where the lands have become the
property Of an individual the governments
right over them is gone.
The prerogative Of royal mines il not part
OF the sovereignty, either Of the several states
or Of the United States, but mines Of all sorts
will belong to the private proprietors Of the
land; to the several states or to the United
States when they are respectively the owners
of the soil.

THE ORIGINAL PATENT.
When Mr.. Lambert rose to speak he held in
his hand q yellow, time stained document from
which depended q heavy seal. Mr.. Lambert
said that the case was chiefly notable on &C.
count of its novelty. It might, he said,
save some argument to present at first, one of the
munlments of title which the government had
overlooked. He then read with some diff
Guilty, as the writing was dim, from the old
document he held in his hand, which was the
original patent given by the chancellor Of the
state Of Maryland March H. 1903, to Robert
Peter, esq, then . resident Of the District Of
Columbia.
1t embraced, he said, 4s4 acres and included
all the property now under consideration ex-

Mr.. Cole.
Certainly" said Mr.. Lambert.
Justice Cox inquired how such grant could
be made at that time.
Mr.. Perry observed that it could operate only
as quiet claim to whatever interest the state
OF Maryland might have at that time.
MIR. Lambert said the grant was made at the
petition of Robert Peter for q resurvey. II
viewed only as a quit-claim deed. Mr.. Lam

get the pure. unadulterated gospel and during
the summer there was scarcely a day that at
least three men did not rise up and ask to be
prayed for. In addition to this poor men are
supplied with food and lodging As a rule
they are helped to help themselves and when
poor people apply for assistance they are
given some light work to do and they feel
much better when they realize that they have
earned what they have asked for.
Mr.. Holcombe described the methods that
are used in Central Union Mission in Detroit
and spoke of the management, which. he said,
was under the head of committee, the chair
man Of which was Mr.. T. s. Anderson a rich
and busy man, but man with a vast deal more
of Christianity than Of wealth. His brief adj
dress was followed by short discussion all
the speakers agreeing that while it was a good
idea to start paupers TO work. yet it was not
right to expect them to do IS cents worth of
work in return for a 15-cent meal and then to
brag about what a splendid mission is being
done

In that remarkable literary work, How the

created by that clear insight into the horrors of

and his stereopticon lecture this evening on
that same line is certain to attract large au-
dience.

TIERS AND WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
There was a large attendance this morning at
the convention Of Christians at Work at the
Congregational Church. In the audience were a
number of the pastors Of the various Washing
ton churches, and they appeared to take the
closest interest in the papers read and addresses
made at the convention
The session this morning was opened with a
devotional service by Miss Catherine Quincy
Of England, and she was followed by Rev. S. p.
Holcombe of Detroit. Mich, in an address on
the Central Gospel Mission of that city.
THE DETROIT CENTRAL MISSION.
Mr.. Holcombe said that the Central Union
Mission was indirectly. if not directly, the re-
suit of the convention that was held in Detroit
two years ago. He said that the building that
was occupied by the mission when be was called
to take charge of il was toe large He looked
around to find q location better adapted in size
and nearer to the class OF people it was de-
sired to reach. Two small stores were
taken and the board partition between
them knocked out Then services
were begun there and now services
are held every evening and at noon as well
The MONDAY meetings have proved to be a
great success Every day there are from
twenty to thirty poor sinners who come in and
