Organization of the League Of the District
of Columbia.
The formal organization OF the Amateur
Base Ball League of the District occurred at
the Columbia Athletic Club last night Howard
Perry presided, with W. A. Wells acting as
secretary. There were representatives in at
tendance from the Columbia Athletic Club,
Young Mems Christian Association, Washing
ton Athletic Club, government printing Office,
bureau of printing and engraving, Young Men s
Catholic Club and the Ideals. The temporary
officers were made permanent and John H.
Roche and E. c. Quackenbush were elected
members Of the board of control. The third
member will be elected at the meeting to be
held April 20 to act on the report Of the sched-
ule committee.
1t was decided that the league should consist
OF six clubs. This made it necessary to refuse
the application Of one club and the Ideals were
the ones to suffer.
The league was completed by the admission
OF the government printing Office team. A
schedule committee, consisting of NJ. II.
O'Leary, c. z. Mcclure, c. II. Cassavant, E. N.
Richards. Harry Sanford and 7. NJ. Ring was
appointed to arrange a schedule to consist Of
two games between each club. The payment
OF the guarantee money and the furnishing of
the list of players will be done at the April
meeting.

Hampton Roads Not to Be Sighted.

Secretary Herbert had a visit from delega-
ton Of citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth
yesterday in regard to the naval review. He
was questioned in regard to q report that many
Of the foreign vessels, including those of Russia
and Great Britain, would not so to Hampton
Roads. bat would confine their participation to
the review at New York. thus spelling the pro-
gram at Hampton Roads. The Secretary
informed the callers that the invitations to the
review especially stated that all foreign ships
would first rendezvous in Hampton Roads be-
fore sailing for New York, and that all countries
sending ships will most essuredly accept the
invitation it WAS intended to be accepted.
The Secretary further told the gentlemen that
he would certainly be present at Hampton
Roads during the review, but that he could not
speak for the President. After leaving the de-
partment the delegates called the President
and extended to him also an invitation to see
the parade and accept the hospitality Of Vir-
GINA Ii Is doubtful, though. that the Presi-
dent Will be able TO be at the rendezvous, but
reserve his trip for the grand review in New

PROF. BRIGGS SPEAKS

OF the Inspiration Of the Bible to the
Sunday School Workers.
Prof. Charles A. Briggs, D. D., of the Union
Theological Seminary, New York, whose heresy
case is to be considered by the general assem-
bly, which meets in this city in May, delivered
az address before the Brooklyn Sunday School
Union on Monday. His theme was 1.-The Living
Power Of the Holy Scriptures" He said in
part:
The Holy Scriptures are divine power fol-
the spirits Of men, for Christ said, The words
speak to you are the spirit There is a power
in the Holy Scriptures that is adapted to the
spirit Of man. 1t comes from the spirit Of God
inspired with spiritual truth. 1t also comes
through the sacred penmen, who were spiritual
and they have communicated to the Holy
Scriptures the power they possessed. They ap-
pealed to the spirit, and all truth is spiritual
Their words came from human lips, but all
speech Is spiritual, for, man is the only living
animal endowed with speech. he is thus allied
to the Holy Being Himself. The great thinkers
OF the world have given us many spiritual
truths, but the word of God vastly transcends
all they have said. Compare the great poets
and writers with the Scriptures and who will
venture to say that such spirituality and excel
lence is to be found in their writings? In the
study Of the Holy Scriptures We are brought to
i
was the Holy Spirit who origina ted the thoughts
of the Holy Scriptures in the minds of the holy
penmen. In the study Of the Holy Scriptures
we find spiritual energy greater than tine men
that wrote them, as it comes from the spirit of
God and permeates the heart of man.
THE TEMPORAL AND ETERNAL.
Zone other quality of the Holy Scriptures is
that they contain the word of God everlasting,
that abides forever. don't ray that all the
words of the Holy Scriptures are everlasting
Many of the precepts and promises we're for the
time and the occasion, SO that much of the Old
Testament has lost its value for Of today. Even
some of the precepts OF the New Testament
were made for them to whom they were adj
dressed, SO that We have to distinguish between
the temporal and the eternal. for there are
words in the Holy Scripture that will stand for
ever. and until the millennium keep these words
in your hearts and in your memories to use in
the crises Of Your lives. Now. l have en-
deavored to set before the Brooklyn Sunday
School Union some OF the characteristics of the
Holy Scripture. We are privileged to use it
for ourselves, but it Is far greater privilege to
be able to use 1t for others, to teach it To the
young, and the time will come when the teach
ing force and the Christian pulpit will be in
adequate to the teaching and the preaching Of
the gospel to all nations"

NOT UP TO DATE.
That 10 What 10 Said Of Some of the Schoc
Books.

That 10 What 10 Said Of Some of the School
Books.
Is it no. little singular, an engineer asks the
Providence Journal, that the text books OF our
schools continue year after year to inform the
pupil all about surveyors measures, the four
rod chain divided into 100 links, so as to make
decimal system. thus inferring that it is
the kind of measure used by sur veyors at
the present time? The text book does
not inform the pupil that such was the
surveyors practice years ago. and that it
is well for the pupil to know it, but that
surveyors OF the present date do not use the
same system now. The four-rod chain with its
100 links II an unheard-of thing in the survey
Or's kit; no longer does he employ the terms
chains and links. All measurements are made
with q chain or tape 100 feet long; the chain
being divided into 100 links, or each link one
foot long, instead Of the T. 92-lO0 inches, as in
the four-rod chain, the tape being divided into
feet and decimal parts Of a foot.
The old terms denoting distances shorter
than one mile and smaller areas than one acre
are not fractions Of one mile or one acre, being
denoted in lineal or square feet in use, and why
are not the pupils SO instructed?
There is not single railroad in the United
States in the layout Of which the terms of the
surveyors measure or the word inches as part
Of foot have been used. In all the engineer
ing projects throughout the United States the
term inches seldom appears.
The engineers use the foot as basis and
divide 1t first into tenths, the tenths into ten
parts. making hundredths Of Q foot, and the
hundredths into ten parts, making thousandths
OF foot All their tapes and measuring sticks
are 90 divided. This gives them . decimal
system equal for their purposes to the metric
system, and explains why they are not anxious
to change to the metric system. The pupil,
unless attending . technical school, never
hears of the custom so exclusively prev.
aient, and Why IL II? II can only
be explained that the bookmaksrs, or
educators. and not the practical business
in the future. but the school committee can, II
