THE NEW ST. MARKS P. E. CHURCH.

furnished with improved robe closets. These
rooms will communicate by stairways with
the clergy rooms above, and with the Sun
day school building. and will have also an
entrance on Sd street.
The church will have a seating capacity
of about eight hundred. just about large
enough for the needs Of the present con-
gregation. The dimensions are 40 by SO
feet. The choir and san ctuary are . by 80
feet. The church. for its entire length Of
40 feet, has a fine clere story and an open
timber roof Of oiled Georgia heart pine. 1t
is built inside and out of handmade bricks
with bands Of ornamental brick and of
Seneca stone. The use OF brickwork for the
interior shows that a wonderful solidity and
beauty are possible by the judicfous use of
a material not yet well appreciated in this
country. though more generally used than
formerly. The Church of the Advent, in
Boston, is a notable specimen Of this style
of work. Against the south wall of St.
Marks a carved altar and reredos Of Por-
tage stone are now being erected, and this.
together with the fact that the Hook and
Hastings Company Of Boston have not yet
completed the organ, delays the dedication
ceremonies a month later than at first in
tended The tower and spire at the north
west corner are completed, and have a
gross height Of about 10 feet. The Sunday
school building, which was formerly of
wood and stood on, the site of the new
church extension, now occupies the IL at
the south or alancsl end of the church. with
entrance from A street through massive
iron gates by a wide paved alley. 1t is
divided into two stories. class rooms being
on the first floor and the main auditorium
above. with a pretty open timber roof of
oiled Georgia heart pine. The walls are
plastered and colored a rich terra Gotta,
producing a very pleasant effect.
The architect is 7. Bucker Ghequier of
Baltimore, James L. Parsons Of this city
being the contractor. with James F. Man
ming doing the altar and reredos. Much of
the success Of the work Is due to the build
ing committee and its untiring chairman,
Mr.. John H. Chew, who has given every
thing his personal attention. The commit
tee Is composed of Messrs. ]. H. Chew,
chairman; w. H. NARROW, treasurer; Jo-
siah Shaw, Lexius A. Wood and Richard
J. Earnshaw. 1t is expected that the i'm
petus given to church work in the parish
by, the completion of the church will fully
enable the congregation to bear its heavy
financial load Though nearly everything is
completed, the formal dedication of the
church will probably not take place until
November 1. Of which due notice will be
given later

stiles of the town. and whereas the demand
of justice entities Hyattsville to a larger
rroportionate distribution of funds avail
able for school purposes. therefore, be it
resolved. that this board deems it OF the ut
most importance that additional school ia
c:lities be provided for the citizens of this

From Temple Bar.
The position Of the native women Of Raj
rutana is singularly deplorable. PeEned
from their babyhood within the narrow lin
its Of the zenana, they gre cut of from all
contact with the outer world. with which
they communicate only through their slave
girls; seeing not only no men, but hardly
any women. very few ladies of sufficiently
high rank living within visiting distance Of
each other.
They are quite uneducated, unable to
either read or write or work; nothing,
therefore remains to them but their natur-
al affections, and these are outraged; their
husbands processing no love for them, snd
visiting them but occasionally: their chill
dren being taken from them at q very early
age and placed under the guardianship of
men, their mothers being considered Unfit,
and, alas! truly, to bring them up.
Is 1t to be wondered that such an eluca-
ton, such a violation of every instinct,
every need OF a human being, should pro-
duCe creatures singularly depraved?

ORIGIN OF MUNICIPALITIES.

AAeS OaA1S rum lO"a MeetlmK0,
Then the Only Local Government.
From the Chicago News.
There Is no more striking anomaly in
American politics than the changes which
have taken place and are now happening IN
our town and municipal governments. The
little democracies which our pilgrim and
Puritan ancestors established on these
shores. unseen or unheeded by the king and
his parliament were the best school for de-
veloping the faculties. for stimulating pub
lie spirit and for training in self-restraint,
intelligence and love Of freedom the world
has ever known. To these town govern
ments Of New England more than to any,
thing else are due the supremacy OF the
English in America and the failure OF the
French to hold their own during the long
struggle for the possession OF Canada.
In the next and harder struggle. that for
independence OF Great Britain itself. the
towns again had decisive part. When
Francis Bernard. the royal governor, obe-
dent to his instructions from home, pro-
rogued the assembly and left the province
OF Massachusetts without a legislature. the
king ana his ministers thought that by this
course they had deprived the patriots of
their opportunity for concerted action. and
that they could nip in the bud the fncipient
rebellion. And 30 II would have proved.
says writer in ''Harpers." had IL not been
for the town meetings, which were the reaI
fountains OF power; so that in place Of one
general assembly the royal governor found
he had to deal with 2u0 or more local as
semblies-small. indeed. for the most part.
but self-reliant aggressive, trained to the
consideration Of public affairs. ami ready
for action. ...t-
After the revolution town meetings con-
tinued for nearly fifty years to be the only
form OF local government in New England.
and II was not until about the close or the
first quarter OF the present century that a
break occurred. when Boston reluctantly
became city. Since then cities which
originally were towns, have multiplied rap
idly, until today considerably more than
one-half OF the people have been gathered
into municipalities.
