to enter the homes of citizens and COM

In this state, as in the nation, Demo
cratic pledges were made to be broken,
amp the Democratic party made solemn
pledge to economic state expenditures,
abolish useless state commissions, re-

those for the repeal of anti-home rule
legislation and the reduction of public
expenditures and diminished tax rate.

the tax rate is reduced from So. 81 in 1885,

walton where house is to be built Wheth-
er it was the fault of the drivers or not,

ana Policeman Shannon charged that the
dirt was not cleaned from the street. one
OF the contractors men said that an effort
is made to clean the street each afternoon,
and Judge kimball took his personal bonds.
Charles Tyler, contractor. doing work on
the Harrison flats, had some building ma
terial in the street "Wednesday, but there
was no light on it when a policeman was
there.
Il shook the lamp" he said, land 1 don't
think there was any oil in 1t.
That was Halloween night, said Mr..
Tyler, and the boys were out"
There was no evidence, however, that the
boys troubled the lamp. Even if they had,
the judge said 1t would be no excuse. The
law requires light, and If there Is no
light there the contractor has no excuse,
for the employment of a Waterman Will
avoid such trouble. A fine Of s. was i'm

A PASTORS ANNIVERSARY.
The Twenty Years of DIR. DOmer's
Service in St. PauI's Church.

Yesterday was the twentieth anniversary
of the pastorate of the Rev. DR.. Domer, the
rector of St.Paurs English Luthern Church.
The occasion was one of special interest to
the congregation, and the services of the
day had special reference to this event.
The auditorium was decorated with foliage,
plants and flowers. At the morning service
DR.. Domer delivered a sermon appropriate
to the occasion. In the afternoon meetings
were held by the members of the Christian
Endeavor Society, and in the evening there
was an informal gathering of the congrega-
ton for prayer and consultation as to the
plans for the coming year.
In November. 1874, DR.. Domer assumed
charge, being the fifth in the succession OF
pastors since the organization of the con-
gregation over fifty years ago. He came to
W washington from Trinity Church, Shamo-
kin, Pa, having previously served charges
at SelinsgroVe and Reading, Pa. He has
not lost Sunday on account of i'll health
communion season nor anniversary occasion
of any sort in that time. In August, 1877,
the audience room underwent needed i'm
provements, the walls were refrescoed, wood
work repanted, new carpets were put down,
the pulpit and chancel refurnshed and
stained glass windows substituted for the
old plain ones These improvements cost$lO4O.
The reopening services were held Sunday,
30 Io'', when IL was EepoTteu
mat s+oO was needed to completely liqui-
date this Indebtedness. Instead of only
SlOO SSOO was raised. The next improve
ment was made in 1881 at a cost of S., 712.I3.
The outside of the building was remodeled,
towers finished, the old outside steps taken
away and replaced by a new front and
vestibule entrance. The last and most
costly Improvement was made in 1883 and
cost nearly 5000. The audience room was
entirely remodeled, and the changes in
cluded new gallery, pulpit, chancel pews,
carpets, chandeliers and pipe organ. To
the new organ fund 5000 was generously
donated by Mrs. Ann Il. Clary. The re
opening services took place December =,
1883. Rev. w. ii. Gotwald preached in the
morning and DR.. Domer at night
