THE DIFFERENT PASTORS.
The first pastor of the church was Rev. 7. S.
Kennard, though he only served few months.
The pastors who have served since that time
are T. r. Hewlett, from January 8, 1868. to
June 30, 1869; Or. ]. W. Parker. Octo-
Mason. April 80, 1876, to March. 1879;
Rev. DR.. S. H. Greene, December, 1879, to the
present time. The church Was recognized at 4
council meeting held in New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church September "a, 1862 Re-
ligious services were first held in Temperance
Hall on E street between 9th and 10Th north
west They met next in the Columbia Law
building, 9th street between D and E streets
Steps were at once taken to build an edifce and
by the generous aid Of Mr.. Amos Kendall this
was completed and occupied in June, 1866. At
that time 1t was the finest church building in
the city. The building destroyed by fire
in December, 1867. New quarters were at
once secured in the old Shiloh Baptist
Church, located on the south side of Massachu-
retts avenue between 9th and 10th streets
northwest. This was occupied until the pres
ent building was completed in July, 1869, and
the congregation and Sunday school returned
to their home on July ii Of the same year. It
ia understood that work on this great improve
ment is to be begun at once.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
One Of the large factors in connection with
the work in Calvary Church is the Sunday
School, which has become famous not only in
Warrington. but through the country. One Of
Its principal features is an adult department
with a membership Of 500, the total member
Of the school being 1,l7s. There are three or
four very large classes in the department and
each OF the thirty classes need rooms
Of their own in which to do their
work. These needs have led to the prop
os;tion to build Sunday school house
which will be modern in its construction and
accommodate the four departments Of the
school. When this building is completed Cal
vary Sunday school will be in quarters which
will enable it to become one Of the largest
schools in the country.

AN INVENTORS CLAIM,
He Seeks an Injunction Against the Naval
Chief of Ordnance.

ne Seehs HI AnJunctiOn against the Naval
Chief of Ordnance.
Saturday suit was instituted against ComiNo-
dore ". NJ. Folger, the naval chief of ordnance.
by James B. NJ. Grosvenor. Laynia Wilson and
Edward II. Litchfield OF New York and Samuel
Seabury Of New Jersey on account of an alleged
infringement upon patent for an improved
breech-loading cannon. Seabury, a lieutenant
in the navy. claims to have invented the i'm
provement, and the other plaintiffs have bought
shares in the invention.
The papers were filed by Wilson & Wallis.
attorneys, of As Wall street, New York. and
they seek an injunction to prevent further in
fringements and a decree compelling Commo-
dore Folger to pay for the damages the plain
tiffs have suffered.
They assert that Commodore Folger and others
conspired to deprive them of their rights in the
patent by building similar guns for the govern
and is numbered 425, 5si. Applications for
patents have been made to the governments of
Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain
and Germany.
Shortly after the issue Of his patent Lieut.
Seabury alleges he exhibited model and draw
ings to Commodore Folger and that he was
promised trial Of his invention by the Navy
Department. Soon afterward Commodore Fol-
ger is said to have planned, with Ensign Robt
b. Dashiell, to design q cannon similar to Sea-
burys and to evads the charge of infringement
by changing the form Of certain parts of the
invention.
Seabury's drawings and model, it is asserted.
were used in this work and the resources and
facilities Of the bureau of ordnance called into
play. The design was successful and it il as
serted that large number of breech-loading
cannon, embodying Lieut. Seabury's improve
ments, are in process Of construction at the
navy yard, under the direction of Ensign Da-
shell, who poses as the inventor.
The work 10 said to have been carried on Sc
cretly and purposely kept from the knowledge
Of the owners OF Lieut.. Seaburys patent until
early in 1892, when it reached such dimensions
that longer concealment was impossible.

Mr.. Woodward was much averse to having
his name made known as the donor of $40. ZOO,
desiring that the amount should be credited
simply to "a member of the church" OF
course the name was known in the church and
it could not long be kept secret from the pub

GERS have been trying to devise ways and means
to accomplish such result and make some pro-
vision for the increasing congregation as well as
membership. The Sunday school has also been
crowded for room. the four departments being
forced to occupy every available portion of
the building for their work. To meet
these growing demands the officers of the
church and congregation recently determined
upon plan which is one of the most liberal
that has probably ever been undertaken by any
church in the city. The plan in general is 10
enlarge the present edifice to accommodate OF
least 300 persons, to buy property south of
the church upon which shall be erected a Sun
day school room. modern in its construction,
which will accommodate at least 800 scholars.
and addition to these to make liberal provision
for enlarging the works of the two missions of
the church, Kendall and Memorial chapels. An
approximate estimate of the expenses necessary
to erect these different Improvements was given
as follows:
Repairs on church edifice ..... $50 900
Cost OF four houses on the south 800. 40 900
Sunday school house. ............. 10000
Kendall Chapel. 90, 900

One of the most remarkable scenes ever wit
messed in church occurred yesterday in the
Calvary Baptist Church. Tho members Of the
congregation were asked by the pastor to con-
tribute fund for the enlargement Of the
church facilities and the broadening OF the
church work. The response to this appeal was
as generous as the plan which has been devised.
The members of this church are accustomed to
give literally; that is feature and an import
ant one of the gospel as preached at this
church. But the result Of yesterdays giving
was the great sum Of over $4,000. Perhaps
never before in the history Of the Christian
churches Of the city has such large amount
been given at a single meeting

to 90 down to Naples until the festivities
were over.
We reached Naples week ago yes,er-
day. A week ago today we spent the en-
tire day at Pompeii We found great
deal there to interest US. The work of eX-
cavation is still going on, and we saw
many houses which we had not seen be-
fore. We were very glad 10 see the Jones
family-the Wesleyan missionary with
whom l stald until Mrs. Mays room WAS
ready for me, in 1S79-and they seemed
equally delighted to see us. Almost the
first thing 10 be settled was "would M

not deny him. We were invited to take

bring shilling in England. la our coun-
try l have never seen them, except as
small plants 10 pots at florists. Then
there were orange and lemon trees, with
fruit still growing, and numberless other
plants and shrubs. The walls OF their ter
race were covered with the greatest pro-
fusion of roses that ever saw. There

LETTER OF INSTRUCTION

From Secretary Carlisle to Collectors OF
Customs Regarding the Laws on the
Chinese Question.
WASHINGTON, May 96.--In order that
there may be uniformity OF action
among collectors Of customs and a
thorough understanding on their part
Of the secretary's construction OF ex-
listing laws on the Chinese question,
Secretary Carlisle has written letter
OF instruction on the subject. The let
ter, it is stated, does not relate to the
Geary exclusion act and makes no
change in the orders already Issued.
The letter reads as follows:
WARRINGTON, May r. 1898.
Sir: BY department circular, dated the 4ts
inst, officers Of this department were instructed
TO refrain from making arrests under the pro
visions OF the act approved May ., 1891, entiued
'An act 10 prohibit the coming OF Chinese per-
sons into the United States" until otherwise d.
rected This order remains in force SO far as 1t
applies 70 Chinese persons who have failed 70
obtain certificates OF residence under the pro-
visions OF the sixth section OF said aot but who
otherwise would have right TO remain In the
United States.
It Is known, however, that great numbers OF
Chinese laborers have entered the United States
in violation OF the provisions OF the act ap-
proved May g. 1892 as amended by the act ap-
proved July s. 1884, and OF the act approved
October l. 1898. Many Of these persons have
obtained admission upon false representations
that they were not laborers but merchants, ana
others have entered clandestinely from contig-
uous foreign territory.
Iny ut attention IN the first second.
third, fourth and fifth sections OF the act ap-
proved May 0, 1892, entitled IAN act TO prohibit
the coming OF Chinese persons into the United
States" which continues in force the provisions
of previous acts prohibiting the coming into
This country OF Chinese laborers and provide Tor
the trial, Imprisonment and deportation OF such
persons, who, under said laws, are found TO be
lawfully entitled 10 remain in the United States
you are directed TO use all the means under your
control to vigorously enforce said provisions OF
law and to take such measures as may be nee
essary to secure the arrest and prosecution OF
Chinese laborers who are unable TO show that
they have obtained lawful admission into the
United States Respectfully yours,
j. G. CARLISLE, Secretary.
Attorney General 0lney has received
a telegram from New York stating that
Judge Lacombe, of the circuit court OF
New York, has decided that section6 OF
the Geary law, though decided TO be
constitutional, was still Intellectual be-
cause no provision is made as to how or
by whom the order of deportation Of
Chinese is to be executed. This is said
to be new question which was not
raised or in any way involved in pre-
yious appeals.
