SERMON ON CHRIST.
DIR. Cunningham's Discourse on the Nativ-
ity of the Savior.

DIR. Cunningham's Discourse on the Nativ-
ity of the Savior.
At the First Presbyterian Church,
last evening, the Rev. DR.. Cunningham
delivered a very eloquent Christmas
sermon, taking for his text the for
tieth verse of the second chapter of St.
Luke. His discourse followed the life
of the Savior through childhood and
manhood. He mentioned the lack of
earthly demonstration at the birth of
Jesus, the obscurity of the parents and
the scene of His nativity, but said
heaven was filled with glory and re-
jOicings.
The doctor beautifully described the
early life of the Lord the quiet, peace
full home life of the parents, Joseph and
Mary, in Egypt He said the child,
Christ, did not differ from other chill
dren in his artlesness and simplicity.
He loved to be with his father while
the latter was about his daily occupa-
ton. He grew slowly, not being forced
headlong into premature manhood. as,
sad to say, is the case with many of
the children OF the present day. He
learned to exercise the most implicit
obedience and possessed a wonderful
knowledge of things Cody.
After the youth had ripened into
manhood, the loyeliness of his charac-
ter shone in its full splendor.
The doctor remarked that Christ's
loneliness of disposition was evident in
his words, Suffer little children to
come unto me, and forbid them not. for
OF such is the kingdom of heaven"
The discourse was concluded with an
application of the manner of Christ
life to our own.
The singing of the choir was very
fine, several beautiful anthems being
included in the evenings programme.

a still alarm was sent to the Island hose
house. caused by fire in the residence
of Mrs Thornton Terry, at No. 20
South Wabash street. Mrs. Terry was
filing a gasoline stove, 'when an explo-
sion occurred, which also caught the
fluid in the can. The flames quickly
communicated to the furniture and walls
and the kitchen and d!ning-room were
damaged to the extent of about 5000.
The Island Chemical apparatus, with
the assistance Of a stream of water, ex-
tinguished the flames.

MEDICAL SOCIETY MEETS.

The McCOnnaughy case at Bridge
port was fully discussed at the regular
meeting of the Ohio County Medical
Society last Friday evening. There
was a large attendance present and a
great deal of interest was manifested
in the account of McCOlsIaughy's ill
ness by the physicians who attended
him. After the case had been fully dis
cussed in all its relations the decided
sentiment of the society was that the
case was not one of smallpox and that
the outbreak of the disease in Bridge
port had sprung from other sources.

best information, is not responsible.
It was through the influence and
by personal appeals and frequent
recommendations of Col. Moore that
co1ored detective was appointed
on the force, and while Col. Doug
lass favored the recommendations
of Col. Moore, there were reasons
advanced to the Commissioners why
the present colored detective should
not be appointed.
Col. Moore was appointed chief
of police December s, 1886. He
was born in 1929, and was educated
at the Ritterhouse Academy. Prior
to his appointment as chief of police
he held many responsible positions.
He was private secretary to Andrew
johnson in 1857; held position in
the public works. He enlisted as a
private in the National Rifles. He
was married to Miss Mary Gideon

Richard Sylvester, the chief clerk
of the Police Department, is as
well and as favorably known as any
official in the District government.
He is a genial, pleasant gentleman,

Mr.. Sylvester's duties are simply
multitudinous. 1t is said that nc

Sylvester, Chief of Police Moore

COL. VIM. G. MOORE.

One Of the most conspicuous men
in official and military circles in the
District of Columbia is Col. VIM.
G. Moore, the present chief and
superintendent of police.
A great deal has been said against
Col. Moore since he has held the
Office Of chief of police that some,
who don't know him, are inclined
to believe that he is inimical to the
Negro.
Although a Democrat, as he is
regarded in political circles, no man
in his exalted position is more
friendly to the Negro than he. In
deed, he has shown less prejudice
toward thes.Negro than those who
