ST. ANDREWS BROTHERHOOD.
Annual Meetings and Elections of Of
ficers Held by the Various Chapters.

Annual Meetings and Elections of Of
fcers Held by the Various Chapters.
According to established custom, Satur-
day being st. Andrews day, the members
Of the various chapters of the Brotherhood
of st. Andrew held their annual meetings.
At o'clock in the evening each chapter
met in their rooms and elected chapter Off
GERS, consisting of director, vice director,
secretary and treasurer and two delegates
to the local council. AT 8 o'clock all the
chapters gathered in st. Andrews Church,
18th and Corcoran streets, to take part in
the annual service. In the chancel were
the rector of St. Andrews, Rev. J. B.
Perry. DID,; Rev. Alexander Mackay
Smith rector of st. Johns Washington:
Rev. Mr.. Griffith of the Takoma Park
Church, and Rev Albert NJ. Hilliker, the
chaplain of the brotherhood. Dr. Mackay
Smith delivered the sermon, which was adj
dressed especially to men, and which was
taken from one of the journeys by water of
the Apostle Paul. Rev. DIR. Smith likened
the head winds which beset Paul and the
various other veXatiOnS of the voyage to
those which beset every man not only on
the outset of his career, but all through
life, and that they can only be overcome
by patience and perseverance and faith in
God.
After the service the delegates to the
local council, representing nearly every one
of the twenty-five odd chapters in the coun-
Gil, adjourned to the parish hall adjoining
the church for the election of the new Off
GERS who will serve until this time next
year. This resulted as follows: Barnabas
Bryan of Emanuel Chapter succeeds Pres
ident Perry B. Pierce in the executive
chair; John F. Paret of Epiphany Chapter
assumes the vice presidency, in place of
Barnabus Bryan; Rolla p. Currie of Assem-
sion Chapter succeeds himself CORE
spending secretary and treasurer; r. Pres
ton Shealey of Trinity Chapter was elected
to the recording secretaryship, vice E.
,Maury Posey of Grace Chapter, and Rev.
Albert NJ. Hilliker, chaplain, succeeds
himself. These five officers, together with
four other members of the council, Sc
lected by the president form an executive
committee, and have power to transact
nearly all the business of the organization.
President Bryan has selected three of the
members of the committee as follows, the
other one to come from st. Johns Chapter,
Georgetown: w. d. n. Langtree of st. Ste
phen's Chapter, James F. Aston of st.
Luke's Chapter and Joseph H. Gibbons of
Christ Church east Washington Chap
ter. The retiring executive, p. B. Pierce,
presented two matters for the considera-
ton of the new executive committee which
they will be called upon to take action upon
at their first meeting. The first is propo-
siton to rent the Harris Academy every
Sunday evening. and in it conduct services
for men, and the other is to establish a
brotherhood reading rooms.

In the hall near Amelias door the doctor
saw Bersey Hubbard gliding slowly along.
Fit inmate Of the professors house." he
reflected. "She moves about as silently and
can she be up to? Why does she stay here
after her place has been taken? Or why
does Mrs. Appleton stay?"
He stopped under the impulse to speak
to Betsey, and she looked over her Shout
der as If she, too, wished to say something;
but as he hestated she glided on.
I'm have to think up something in order
to lead her into conversation" thought
the doctor. For the present 1 require all
the craft and discrimination I can muster
with the professor"
At the foot of the stairs he heard Phil
bricks light-hearted tones from the direc-
ton of the dining room. A low ripple of
laughter assured him that Louise was as
usual, giving the visitor admiring audience
low rumble of bass from the room across
the hall testified to the professors where

and an instant later the professor opened it,

of his ordinary blandness, something

No, thanks replied the doctor. 81

directly connected with the patient. If you

Greatly surprised at the doctors agree
able manners-for since Amelias illness
the young man had been curt to the point
of insult-Professor Drummond looked
across to the dining room. He, too, heard
Philbrck's voice, and, after a slight hesi-
tation, said:

however, not to speak for myself, but for
my mother"
'Your MOTHER" exclaimed the professor
nervously. Really
"She has told me of your proposal"
You internal young idiot! What do you
mean?'
The professors capacity for rage was
great, as the doctor already knew, but he
was unprepared for the suddenness with
which 1t burst forth row. AS usual, of late
the professor made Il strong effort to control

the room seemed to vihrate.
Dr. Williams was completely taken back.

Professor Drummor1's mouth was open to

raised his arm threateningly.
DR.. Williams was thrown completely Off his
chosen track by this. Diplomacy, craft, dis
stimulation vanished into air He caught the
professors arm.
Il wouldn't" he said. Indignantly. "If
you must abuse somebody take 4 man for
once"
He won't strike me- muttered Mrs. APP
pleton. defiantly, but her voice shook with
excitement or fear nevertheless.
The pl ofessor, with his arm stiil raised and
held by the doctor. looked from one to the
other as if frenZied. He brought his arm
to his side with such force that even at that
tense moment it occurred to the doctor how
feeble he would be in an encounter with this
man.
Leave the ROOM he commanded, karshly,
to the woman.
With bowed head and falterng limbs she
sank into a chair and covered his face with
his hands. DR. Williams was all at sea. He
regretted that he had tried to effect anything
by craft.

see she's relative of mine, with an interest
in my property, and that interest would be

promise from me once that | wouldn't marry
again, and talked about being a mother to
my daughter and all that, but you can see,
of course. that she's wholly untitled for such
a place. l wouldn't have her in the house

To Lecture on Good Cooking.

Considerable interest is being shown in
the forthcoming course of lectures on the
art of good cooking to be delivered at Met
Zerott Hall by MIR. Thomas J. Murrey. The
first lecture which takes place next FRI
Gay afternoon at 2.3O o'clock, is on THE sub
ject of the chatting dish, and the one next
Tuesday afternoon at the same place and
hour is on the preparation of fish and she'll
fish. There are five lectures in the course
all on topics of timely interest and full of
valu2 BILE suggestions to people who want
to know how to make the best use of the
resources and possibilities of the Washing
ton market. In his lecture on Salads
sauces and mushrooms, Mr.. Murrey will
tell of a number of inexpensive salads
which can be had in the local market, but
which are not generally known to house
keepers. Marketing and carving will also
be touched upon in the course Just at
present the good points of the chatting dish
are so generally recognized that special in
terest will attach to anything that such a
recognized authority on the subject may
have to say. AS writer of cook books and
a lecturer on the subject, Mr.. Murrey is
probably as well known he is as the pro-
prietol of the restaurant of the House of
Representatives, and his course of talks on
good cooking is pretty certain to attract
large crowds.

The Judges Daughter Insisted That
Court Rules Should Prevail.
From the Chicago Post.
She was the daughter of a judge, and she
listened with languid interest to his plea.
Il love you devotedly." he cried, passion
ately. Il am prepared to devote my life to
you"
BE specific in your pleading" she eau
toned. DO not stray too far from the

He hesitated, and then asked earnestly:

"Ah," she said, now see the point you
wish to make"
Il am not rich," he urged, but have
enough to give you a comfortable home, and
my prospects are bright. 1 offer you the
love of an honest man, who will do all in his
power to make you appy. L"
She stopped him by a gesture.
1T is useless to continue at present" she
said, firmly, but kindly. There are several
cases ahead of yours on the docket"
But" he protested, Il want"
She stopped him again.
Il must insist that these matters be taken
up in their regular order" she said, sharply.
Put your proposition in writing and file it
with my maid, and 1t will receive due atten-
ton when ii is reached in the regular course
of business. / haven't time to listen to oral
arguments in a case that can be as well pre-
scented in briefs"
With a sigh he left and put in his time
until late that night preparing a petition for
a rehearing.

THE GIRL AND THE WHEEL,

sisted on Joining II.
From the Utica Daily Press.
A calf. bicycle, and a young lady were
the principal actors in a little comedy a
few days since. the scene of which was
laid in the vicinity of New York Mills.
The young lady and the wheel were bow
ling merrily along one afternoon, when
they came to the top of HILL which Offer
ingly the young lady's feet went up on the
rests, and the wheel started for an untram-
meled cruise down the incline. The coast
was clear. with the exception of calf
standing inoffensvely in the road about
half way down the hill Had 1t been a
mouse, in all probability the fair cyclist
would have at once dismounted and gone
around by another route, or stopped into
some house for assistance, but being only
harmless calf, that would in all proba-
bility make room at Cnce, at the approach
ter kept steadily on.
The calf. however. apparently had diff
ferent views concerning the right of way.
and calmly stood his ground. The wheel
had now gained quite an impetus, and de-
spite the frantic efforts of its rider il
struck the astonished calf with vim, and
in some unaccountable manner the young
lady brought up on her hands and knees.
with her head between the calf's hind legs.
This was too much for the latter, as well
as for the fair cyclist, and he moved off
in double-qlick time, leaving the wheel
and its owner to reorganize and continue.

From the Ohio state Journal.
A well-known scie1 fist was walking along
a London street when he came across an
itinerant astronomer, who was inviting the
passeis shy to gaze through his telescope at
the moon at half penny a time. The sci-
enlist in London was speculative enough to
venture a half penny, and on applying his
eye to the instrument was astonshed to
see a beautiful picture of full moon, al
though at the time the moon was only in
her second quarter Puzzled by the cir
cumstance, he examined the instrument,
and found that it was not a telescope at
all, but simply "a tube with a hole where
the eye piece should be, and a transparent
photograph of full moon. with a light be-
hind it, at the other erd.
On the scientist asking the exhibitor how
he could sc cheat the public, the man sim
ply remarked: Its all right, sir. People
like lot for their money nowadays. I
used to have a proper scope once. but I
turned it up for this after an Irishman
pitched into me for showing him only arr
a mcon. .his way pays better and gtveS
more satisfaction"
