Sharps Plentiful.
The police are being kept busy looking out
for thieves, burglars and sharpers. So many
have visited Georgetown in the past week
that the people have begun to suspect their
friends
Within five days a mysterious fire has
taken place, two houses on Wesley Heights
been burglarized Mr.. Smith of the Enrich
Beef Company been beaten" out Of clothes
and money, several reputable citizens vic
timized on an alleged charity racket and
various other snide games played.

| the worthiest Of West End charities, a ba-
zaar will be held tonight in the old Dodge
| mansion. corner of Congress and @ streets
| The members of the Guild have been doing
| Jealous work OF late In the good cause, and
have been assured that success will crown
this latest effort.
| Lecture.
| Mr.. John d. Mcpherson, the well-known
lawyer, delivered a lecture last night at
| Christ Church, in the nature Of an unfavor-
able criticism on Remains Life Of Christ
| 1t was an able effort and fully appreciated.
The church was crowded.
| Mr.. Mcpherson has several times given
the parishioners Of Christ Church the bene-
| fit Of his own ideas, and those acquired
through research on subjects Of an interest
/ ing kind.
Danger of Contagion.
Some residents in the neiehborhood Of the
twenty buildings claim that their health
| is in danger by the existence Of several old
mattresses in one Of the back yards, on
which two persons died Of a contagious dis
ease.
The Rev. DR.. Albert r. Stuart, rector of
Christ and late rector Of Grace Church, has
spoken publicly of the differences existing
between the two houses Of worship, and his
hearers have drawn their own conclusions
as to what prompted the rendering of his
resignation as rector of the latter
From the tone Of his remarks II was
clearly seen that the manner in which the
Grace rectory had acted in regard to the
s2ooo left them by the win Of Miss Cough
Christ Church being the mother church
should control 1t and moved at q meeting
that committee Of two be appointed from
Grace and two from Christ, who together
with himself should have sole charge of the
disposition of the fund. As the DOCTOR under
this arrangement, could always throw the
vote in favor Of his own church, the Grace
vestrymen thought that the passage of such
motion would be practically q giving I'D
of the money.
They, therefore. objected strenuously.
When the doctors motion did not 60
through he rendered his resignation as rec
| tor Of the smaller church and 1t was i'm
mediately accepted. DR.. Howells, the as
| sistant, was requested by the vestry to act
temporarily In DR.. Stuart's stead. He dii
day Mr.. Stuart's resignation went into
| effect he was invited to assume the duties
of rector. Previous to that Grace Church
had been dependent upon Christ Church
sgement.
DR.. Stuart's action aroused the Grace
Church members and they determined TO
cut loose from the larger one and stand In
dependentiy The 5000 was asked for, es
was also another large sum placed In the
hands OF Christ Church years ago by the
parfshioners OF st. Johns to hold for tbe
benefit of the proposed Grace parsonaee
1t Is understood that neither of these re-
quests has been complied with Dr. Stuart
intimated in recent remarks from the pulntt
that IL 1t had not been for him Miss Cough
would never have left Grace Churcn anv
money. He stated as gracefully as possible
that he had asked her in her last illness to
do so. The parishioners Of Grace saw that
they believe Miss Coughs action was the
outcome OF the promptings Of her own feel
ing toward the Church. as she had formerly
taken a lively interest in it. At one time
she taught Sunday school there.
Ambassador Bayard and Mr.. White.
Mr.. Thomas +. Bayard, United States
ambassador a London dispatch says, was
interviewed last evening as to the reports
mentioned in the Chronicle that he and
Henry White were on bad terms
Mr.. Bayard denied that his relations with
Mr.. White had become so strained that Mr.
Whites retirement was considered neces-
sary. He justified Mr.. Roosevelt's appoint
ment as a most natural one. He said Mr.
Roosevelt was a conspicuous man Of diplo-
matte experience and always had been iden-
titled with the democratic party.
Mr.. Roosevelt denied positively last even
ing that he gave $4,000 to the Cleveland
campaign fund In 1892. He described the
story to that effect as perfect nonsense"
