The Guardianship of Child Reveals
n Curious Story.

The Guardianship of Child Reveals
n Curious Story.
Judge Hagner Saturday afternoon granted
the petition Of Missouri G. Butler that she
be made the guardian of Allie Mary Harris,
little octoroon girl.
About the close Of the late war a white
woman living in Virginia gave birth, it is
said, to a mulatto female child. The wo-
mans grown children threatened to destroy
the child. when the mother intrusted IL to
an old negro woman called Harris She
raised 1t as her own, the child reaching wo-
manhood and being known as Fannie Har-
rls. She in turn gave birth, out of we'd
lock. it was alleged, to the child mentioned
In the petition. To Lucretia Harris, a fos-
ter sister OF the child's. mother, the child
was given TO be reared, and she the little
one believed to be her mother, supposing
her own mother to be her sister. Two or
three months ago the mother died, and sub
sequently Miss Butler petitionei for the
guardianship of the child basing the petit
ton on the ground that the mother just be-
charge of it. The granting of the petition
was opposed by Lucretia Harris, she being
very devoted to the child
In granting the petition Judge Hagner
said that the child was a very bright one,
and thought that IL would be equally well
cared for by either party. She seemed to be
equally fond of both, but as the mother had
expressed desire that Miss Butler should
have the child, her wish would be recog-
nized. Miss Butler was, therefore. made
the child's guardian.

SERMONS TO STUDENTS.
The Columbian University Baccallu-
reate Sermon and at Maryland Col

The members of the graduating class of
the Columbian University and the Corcoran
Scientific School listened yesterday after
neon 70 baccalaureate sermon, which was
delivered in the lecture hall of the univer-
sity by Rev. j. j. Muir. pastor of the L
Street Baptist Church The president of
the university, DR.. yelling, and the men,
bers OF the faculty occupied seats en- the
platform, and the music was furnished By
the choir Of the Z Street Church. DR..
Muirs theme was the breadth Of truth.
he said that the scope Of the answer to
this question was best described by the
word boundless. At che time science
seemed 20 make the claim that ii had eX-
hausted the field OF knowledge, but today
Its attitude is more different Science has
only begun her work. The studcn. should
not imagine that ne has spoken or can
speak the last word in any department Of
rseful knowledge. AS the years multiply
ara experience grows, The horizon of life
recedes, Its survey becomes vaster and
more impossible to compass. lie then spoke
or the tendency in some minds to esteem
the Bible lightly, and consider It worthy
Chly OF a place among the curiosities of
past days. Do not think. said the preacher
that 1t Is an evidence of smartness to speak
cisparagingly of the Scriptures He said
that a student in striving after truth should
not Ieel that he Is bent on u fruitless search.
III the summit of the mountain is not
reached, at least the level plateau may be
attained, where the great plain of truth
stretching away may at least give a tree
view of the beauties of the celestial city.
Rev. L. 3. Hamlin, ID. D., the pastor of
the Church of the Covenant, preached the
baccalaureate sermon yesterday to the
graduates of the Maryland Agricultural
College at the college chapel. His theme
was founded upon the instance In the life
OF Abraham where he desired that Ishmael
might be the favored one of Gcd He said
that Abrahams hopes had become conferred
In lshmael, and he was satisfied with him.
His hopes were crushed when God reminded
MIN that lshmael was not the child of
promise, but that that child was to be
Sara's son, and WAS still unborn. The good,
said the preacher, is always chief enemy to
the best. When we have our IShmcel we
are content We prefer a present certainty
to future uncertainty He sail that we do
not Get the best because we are satisfied
with our Ishmael. Instead of accepting
what is good merely, we should look for
the best. He then made a practical appli-
cation OF this theme. and said to the young
men that with life before them, Ishmael
threatens to rob them or Isaac. He urged
them not to be satisfied with anything but
the best.

Opposed to Sunday OPENING.

The proposed opening of museums and
other public buildings in this city on Sun
day suggested the theme of a sermon which
was delivered last evening by Rev Dr. Sun
derland at the First Presbyterian Church.
He said that he wondered to learn from
the reported interviews of prominent Prot
estant ministers on this question that none
of them seem to have objected to the Open
ing of the public buildings on the Sabbath
on the ground that 1t would be a violation
of Gods law. There is nothing to be gained
by temporzing with a goddess multitude on
this question. The matter proposed is either
a violation of the decalogue or it is not,
and that is the only real ground on which
the question should be determined My
Judgment Is that it would be a violation of
Gods law and an open national sin, insult
ing to God and injurious to mankind"
