This sfternoon at 4:30 o'clock Rt. Rev
William Paret, bishop of Maryland, will

estant Episcopal Church. The new edifice
is at the corner of 18th and Madison streets,
and gives promise of being one of the most
attractive in the city when II is finally
completed. Ever since Washington got well
into Its phenomenal growth toward the
northwest there has been felt a pressing
need for an Episcopal Church in that Sec
ton OF the city, and the rev church, even
as 1t is now, occupying a small chapel on
the rear of its lot, has been most successful
since its inception. With its enlarged &C.
commodations its field of usefulness will
be even further extended.
The prosperity that has marked the
church since its start is largely due to the
interest and efforts of the rector. Rev. ].
A. Aspinwall, and his assistant, Rev. Geo
H. Johnson. The structure is already well
advanced, and the walls in some parts are
above the lower tier of windows The cor
ner stone is to be at the northeast corner OF

chapel

Sensational Testimony Regarding
New York Policemen.

In the investigation of the charges Of
blackmail against the New York police de-
partment before the senate committee at
New York yesterday, Mrs. Thurow. keeper
Of disreputable house. testified, after The
Stars telegraphic report closed, that she
went to the station house one day and
found other women there. They were
keepers of bad houses and had been sum-
moned by Capt. Dougherty. The captain
told her that she must run quiet as central
office detectives might raid her. She hand
ed the captain s25, and he said: 1T is I'M
usual for me to take money directly. Write
John Hook on this envelope and put 1t In q
pigeonhole in the desk"
II did so. Afterward learned John Hook
was the name of the new wardman, who
mad taken Barney Meehan's place"
She afterward paid 800 to Senator Roosch.
she said, to try and have the monthly pay
ments to the police stopped. Capt. Dough-
erty, who was in court in full uniform, was
asked by Counsel Golf to stand up for
Identification He did so.
The woman said: That is the man."
Recess was here taken.
District Attorney Fellows came in during
the giving of the woman's testimony and
entered into consultation with Delaney
Nicoll. 1t is said he desired to hear II the
evidence was strong enough to indict the
police captains.
Then the witness told about a protection

a cell. When they were arrested they drew
on the clubs exchequer for funds to bride
the sergeant to admit them to bail. The
accounts of the club were kept in a book
which produced before the committee
The witness had put in $40 as a nucleus
and the girls put in 81 regularly every
week. The girls got 'jugged' SO often,
however, that 1t broke the bank.
The witness rented I'd avenue house and
paid out good deal Of money.
And l was raided the very night took
the house." snapped the witness.
Then she continued: Before l took the
house 1 met Hook and he told me the terms
would be 81 900 for the captain and $3.50 for
himself l said that was too much, and
asked him to see the captain. He did so
and said that the captain wanted $500 down,
$50 a month for protection and $50 to pay
off the debt in installments."
The witness paused, and then said, scorn-
fully: That was the last 1 of Mr..
Hook"
The witness said she pawned her dia-
mondS to raise money to pay the police
blackmail, and when all her money was
gone she shut up She tried to get
some of the money back, without result
Then she went to DR.. Parkhurst and told
him how shabbily she had been treated.
On cross examinat ton the witness gave
the names of several policemen to whom
she had paid money.
Kate Schubert testified that she owned
and ran disorderly house on Chrystie

If the Colorado people rely upon the ma
tional government to use it's military forces
against the Cripple Creek strikers without
application in due form from the governor
or legislature they will be sorely disappoint-
ed. Although no applications for federal
Intervention have yet come to the War De-
partment they will be absolutely without
result II they do come. The reason, as ex-
planned at the War Department. is that
there Is no authority to be found in law
for federal action. The issues involved are
regarded as purely state and not national
in their present aspect. The suggestion
that the national government might inter-
vene between Gov. Waite and the sheriff s
forces under cover of section 5000. Revised
Statutes, ives soon disposed of. That
statute was framed in reconstruction days
to permit the national government to go
into a state and protect any of it's citizens
when they were denied protection by their
own state officers. 1t was embodied in
the army regulations. but in the first case
that arose the courts held that the act was
unconstitutional, and SO it is of no avail at
present.
The opinion prevails in the War Depart
ment that II Gov. Waite violates the law
he can and will be restrained by the state
judiciary, and they are looking for some
such termination of the present difficulties.
This may be done by a restraining order,
or. as has been intimated in private ad-
vices from Colorado received here by a
very high official, by an application for a
writ de lunatico inquirendo. The success
of such proceedings would result in the
lieutenant governors succeeding to the
chief Office in the state.
OF course, in case of threatened dis
turbance at Denver, the people would be
amply protected by the presence of the
military regardless of any action of the
governors, for there is sufficient warrant
for the use Of troops to protect United
States property in the city limits, and this
would involve the maintenance Of good
order

Called Long for short.

From the Boston Post.
A young man who had not been in this
country very long applied for work in a
certain establishment In Albany. He was
a skilled mechanic and was given employ
ment.
The cashier, with his eye on the pay roll,
asked the man what was his name The
foreigner speaks and understands English
to some extent. He told the cashier his
name and the cashier nearly tainted. IL
was one of those curious ten-syllable names
which could never be pronounced by any
one except The owner, after weeks practice.
Long, isn't it?' gasped the cashier.
Yes, yes" said the man, smiling and
showing his teeth. Long"
He understood from the cashiers remark
that his name, converted into English was
Long and so he has continued to call him
self Mr.. Long.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Jimsmith, the lawyer whose name is
household word in Chicago recently
moved into a beautiful suburban home He
is highly pleased with It In a general way,
but so many agents call upon him that he
finds 1t rather a bore. The other day he
opened the door to twelve agents before the
afternoon was half over, and when he was
summoned to the door for the thirteenth
time he was mad enough to fight herd OF
porcupines. A tall. sad-eyed man, dressed
something. but Mr.. Jimsmith interrupted
him:
"You don't need to tell me what you have
to sell, because / don't want It: don't need
a burglar-proof clock. nor a bootjack tina,
has a music box in II. nor a stemwinding
can opener; / don't"

''Oh, you don't need to dear sir me; I,

bined currycomb and mustsche cup; / have

THIS MATTER OF

Allowing big prices for old
square pianos as part payment
on new uprights is all wrong.
Peddlers who have ceased from
peddlng and broken into the piano
trade do it, but it is brazen decep-
ton, because every dollar too much
they allow on the old is counter.
balanced by a dollar too much added
to the price of the new, and the new
at best is shoddy. Nine times out
of ten the men who snll them are
irresponsible, ana the guarantees
they give not wort The paper they
are written on.
No matter what square pianos
may have cost in the sweet long ago,
they are no good now, and can hardly
be given away, much less sold.
So when you come to buy, we will
charge you an honest price for a
new piano and allow an honest
price for the old.
