OF wider interest than a merely denomi-
national event is the celebration, today in
progress, Of the one hundredth anniversary
of Christ Church, the venerable Navy Yard
parish. Having its origin in the early days
of the District of Columbia, this ancient
institution is associated with much that
has entered into the life of the city during
the eventful period just closed. The men
and women who were active in the organi-
cation of the church were among those
who helped to lay broad and deep the
foundations of the city's prosperity. Christ
Church has the distinction of being the
first representative of the Episcopal
church that entered upon the mission of
good works on the site set apart for the
nations capital This particular parish Is
now one among number of prosperous
local subdivisions Of the field of Episcopal
Ian endeavor. The record of it's many
years of existence serves to emphasize not
only the development of the Episcopal de-
nomination at the seat of government but
also the wonderful progress and growth of
the city,

New York Is having bad attack of the
bicycle fever. The few asphalted streets
have been over-run with wheelmen and
wheelwomen until the walking people of
the town are in ferment of fear lest one
half of the population will be run down
and killed by the other half There is
consequently good deal of talk about re-
strictive regulations and ordinances and
Incidentally there is discussion of the con-
dition of things in Germany where BIZ
cyling has been taken under the wing of
government and reduced to an exact
science. a recent interview in New York
paper with local wheelman gives some
of the features of this system of patarnal-
ism, which are of interest to American
knights of the tangent spoke and the pneu-
matte tire. No one j. allowed 10 ride in
the Kaiser's realm without a license. Be-
fore securing that he must pass an ex-
animation under the eyes of the police
and, If adjudged fit to be entrusted with a
steel steed on the streets. he is allowed to
pay a sum equal to about seventy-five
cents of American money, and to fasten to
his wheel a steel plate bearing number
which corresponds with the number of a
card issued to him a sort of diploma
The rider must always carry this card,
and show 1t upon demand to any police
him and call for his credentials. Refusal
to stop is apt to be punished with fine.
for there are well-mounted officers sta
toned at various points to halt swift
wheelmen and to keep them within certain
