Unvvelcome Spectators.

Owing to the limited accommodations in
the Police Court rooms the judges have
taken occasion several times to remind the
habitual visitors that they did not own the
seats, and that their room was more nee
essary than their company. The doorkeep-
ers have been instructed to discriminate
against these habitual loafers, but not
withstanding all this, the regulars" man.
age to get in and occupy the front rows 1t
is not only once in awhile that this is the
case, but 1t happens daily, and the same
faces are seldom absent when the court
convenes, and seldom do they disappear
until the bailiff announces the adjournment
of court. When one court adjourns the
occupants of the reserved seats move
along the stairway to the other court to
watch and listen to the tales of woe of so
many unfortunates. Among those who spend
their time in the court in this way are sew
eral eX-policemen and persons who would
like to wear the uniform, and carry the
club. In most large cities such persons, it
is said, are hauled up before the Judge and
called upon to explain their conduct and
usually they are fined or given a few days
in prison as being persons without visible
means of support. 1t is likely that some
action of this kind will be taken here in the
near future to rid the court of this class Of
spectators.

ENGLISH PRISON METHODS.
A Ticket-Of-Leave Man Thinks That
They Can BE Improved.

George Biddle, who is on ticket-of-leave
from an English prison, where he was SEN
fenced for life conviction of forging
commercial notes, and who is in this city
with the view of securing influence for
fuil pardon from the English government,
writes to The Star. saying that he is an
American, and giving a statement OF his
case and of his plans. He states that: In
1880 prominent people believed that my
record since the date of my arrival home
in 1887 should procure full pardon, ana
signed petition to that effect. Among
these were James Russell Lowell, Charles
Dudley Warner, Robert Ingersoll, Clarence
A. Seward. Grover Cleveland, etc. Mr..
Blaine sent this petition to Robert Lin

sented 1t officially to Lord salisbury. After
some delay Mr.. Blaine transmitted to me

the execution of a plan i had formed to
lecture through England to arouse the En-
glish public to action in behalf of my three
companions, who had then served eighteen
years of life sentences on charge of crime

suggestion / wrote to the home office stat

previous refusal of full pardon was fear
that l might expose their prison system,

Opening of n New Episcopal Church

IL
Friday an interesting event occurred in
the southeastern section of the city, being
the opening for public worship of the new
Episcopal Chapel on NJ street near South
Capitol street. The building is very at
tractive in appearance. The lower part of
the wall Is of blue Potomac stone and the
upper portion of brick. The roof is high
ana pointed. On the front and western
angle OF the church rise a graceful tower
and spire in the belfry of which bell is
to be placed. While the exterior Of the
edifce is strikingly pretty, the Interior has
a beautiful feature. 1t has a star window
In the gable, and two side windows at
either end of the holy table. Close by the
chancel stands the baptlstry, over which
springs minor arch At the opposite end
of the church from the chancel Is a large
memorial window of stained glass, erected
by Miss Burch In memory of her father
The Sunday school room forms the western
section of the interior, and opens into the
auditorium of the church through a line
of arches. The building will seat about
400 persons. There are three entrances to
the edihce. two of which on NJ and Half
streets lead through the tower to the audi
torium, and the other to the Sunday school
room. This handsome structure is the Mis-
sion Chapel of Christ Church, Navy Yard
and is named ST. Matthew. 1t was built
through the Jealous efforts of Archdeacon
Gilbert +. Williams rector of the parish
with the hearty cooperation of his faithful
vestry and congregation. At the services
last evening interesting addresses, appro-
pirate to the occasion, were delivered by
Archdeacon Williams, the Rev. Mr.. Mckee
associate rector of the parish, and by
Messrs. Parkman, Hallam, McCathran and
Gibbons, lay gentlemen workers Of Christ
Church.
