DIR. BROWN HOME.

Greeted by n Large Congregation,
which Warmly welcomed Him.
Rev. Oliver A. Brown, pastor of Foundry
Methodist Church, corner of Fourteenth
and G streets, returned from Atlantic High
lands on the Jersey Coast, Saturday, and
filled his pulpit yesterday morning. He
was welcomed back by a conspicuously
large congregation, the members OF which
greeted him most cordially at the close of
the service.
The services were brief, consisting of
q sacramentaI address, followed by the
administration of the sacrament, in which
the pastor was assisted by Rev. DR.. Mark
ham
The central thought of the address was
that the steady and stately progress OF
Jesus Christ from the humble manger,
by way of the cruel cross, to the sublime
sovereignty over the minds and hearts OF
man, which he now holds, is not only the
wonder OF wonders, but is also the pledge
and guarantee of his final and universal
conquest. The address was not only
appropriate to a sacramental occasion,
but especially inspiring at the beginning
OF the autumn work of this time -honored
church

A special service was conducted at
Emanuel Church yesterday morning Rev. DIR.
jenkins being the officiating clergyman.
The occasion was of two-fold interest,
the singing by the choir being its first
service after vacation and the selections
being suggestive ofvoyages and ocean periis.
The pulpit at the ADacostia Methodist
Church was occupied yesterday morning
by Rev. James McLaren, who has returned
from his two months vacation.
Miss Emma Simpson, of Congress Heights,
who has been i'll, is reported much improved.
The work of putting in the new fire alarm
boxes has been completed and only one more
Improvement in. that direction asked foI
by the Citizens Association remains to be
gratified. That is several hundred feet OF
hose TO be placed at the station house for use
in case of.fire until the engine arrives.

About half OF Potomac commandery
arrived on Saturday, and Washington
Commandery contingent came in on a
delayed train Saturday night. with the
latter body came the Mount Pleasa Mt
Drum and Bugle Corps, whose return was
hcralded by the familiar bugle blasts as
the lads marched through the streets on
the way to their suburban homes.
Considerable anxiety was manifested on
the part of the parents OF the boys when
it became known that the train which
was due at $40 was delayed, and when,
| at $50, the train reached the depot
there was a glad crowd on hand to wei
come the youthful veterans.
They took Boston by storm, and all

READY FOR The OYSTER
Season Opens To-day with Fine
Prospects and Thick BiValVes,
Supply Is as Good as Has Ever Been
Known for the First II
Month.

The oyster season inaugurated yesterday
opens with fire prospects for an abundant
supply, the quality of the stock being
quite as good az that OF any preceding sea
son for several years past.
Dealers say the supply obtained from the
creeks ara other small streams is of in
fcrior quality bat good Of the grade, tiat
variety being always below the standard
that washington maintains.
The Absecom, Greatkins, ROCkaway
and Hluepoints are this year quite up tC
the most sanruine an,icipauons, and lovers
of the bivalves viii find them to be
toothsome and juicy.
The Washington appetite demands the
best oyster In the market, and hen it
happens that the better species gives out,
though it rarely does, there is a loss to
the dealers
Good judges here seem surprised that
the reports from Baltimore indicate a lack
of fatuesS in the oyster of 80. They say
that the samples quoted as poor must have
been drawn from beds that never yield
good article, and show specimens 10
back up their statement
Mr.. w II. Harvey, manager at Harvey S
rest tauraut. at the corner Of Eleventh and
Pennsylvania avenue, said the yield was
very good, evidencins a favorable season,
and that the quality averages very well
with last year.
Stepping to the counter Mr.. Harvey had
several oysters, selected at random, di-
vested of their ''shuCks,' and in each
/ case the shells contained a tempting morsel.
When asked last night as to the guam
tity and quality OF the commodity for the
opening day, Mr.. J. J. Hogan, Of No. AS
! Twelfth street northwest, said there would
be an abundance, and that the quality
is fine.
Il never knew the oysters to be il
! better condition 1t the beginning ofa season
! We get our supply from New York enc
! Philadelphia, but the finest variety, in
I my judgments is the AbSccom, while IN
! Bluepoints obtained at Norfolk are alsC
very fine. The outlook is very good, anC
! you may set il down as fact tha
when a dealer gets his supply from New
/ York there is no danger OF getting thiI
! oysters"
Mr. Edward Weser, at the corner o.
| Twelfth and Z streets northwest, cor
roborated %vhat was said by the other two
He said the first oysters received in an!
seaosn are usually not as good as the,
are later, but the stock this year is yer.
good.
What should be DONE" said Mr.. Weser
lis to knock September out of the list, ant
begin the season with October. Their
ould be better oysters and more of then
if that were done"
Mr.. Hoban, of Osborn & Hoban, at Seventh
and G streets, was well pleased with th'
prospects. He also exhibited some fin'
specimens of the early supply. He was o
the opinion that if there are any inferiO
oysters on the market they are obtaine,
from the creeks, where there has been NJ
chance for development. He expressed tn
belief that the first two weeks of colt
weather will cause a great Improvement
though the stock in hand is as good as ha
ever been shown at the beginning of tn
season.

Tried to Swindle Servant Girls.
William II. Delano, aged siXty-three years,
was arrested Saturday evening and locked
up in No. 2 station, charged with being a
suspicious character. Policeman Fingles
found the old man going from door to door
on Fourteenth street, between X and L
streets northwest, trying to swindle servant
girls. He claimed TO be an agent for a
government laundry and said he would
furnish the different servants with Uncle
Sans towels to wash, if they would pay him
fifteen cents in advance. Fortunately De-
Iano was caught in his little game before he
had made any money out of it.
