This, it is said, beats the record for
rapid railroad travel.
Rev. Moses D. Hoge, the venerable
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
Church, of Richmond, preached yester-
day morning at the New York avenue
Presbyterian Church, Washington. His
wide reputation for ability in the pull
pit, and his renowned associations, am
ply justified the large congregation
that greeted him. His sermon was
characterized by spirituality, and was
delivered in an interesting style that
held the closest attention.
The funeral of Ernest Green, the
colored boy who was accidentally shot
in Washington last Friday by Miss
Flagler, took place, yesterday, from the
Shiloh Baptist Church, Rev. VIM. Tay-
lor, Rev. M. Brooke and other colored
ministers officiated. Five thousand per
sons viewed the remains. The Flagler
tragedy was almost duplicated yester-
day, when a young colored boy was
shot by q servant of the japanese
legation while stealing fruit in the yard
in the rear of the legation. The shot
struck the boy in the arm and is not
dangerous.
Rev. DR.. Roaker, private secretary
to Mgr. Satolli, says that the legation
at Washington has been notified
that Mgr. O'Connell, rector of the
American College in Rome, had resign
ed that Office, after an incumbency OF
six years, but no statement of the rea-
sons moving him had been given. DIR.
Rocker said Mgr. O'Connell's action
was inexplicable. As to the report
that the monsignor's uncle, Father
O'Connell, of Brooklyn, was to be ele-
waited to the episcopacy, the secretary
said the legation possessed no informa-
ton whatever.

Rev. T. P. BAKER.-The Ne,us and
Courier of Charleston, S. O.. of the 29th
ulto., says:
"Rev. Thos. P. Baker, rector Of st.
Michael's Church, of this city, preach.
ed his last sermon yesterday morning,
previous to starting on his summer va
cation. Though called to become the
assistant to the late rector, Rev. DR..
Grimke. sad and unforeseen circum.
stances have placed the burden of the
whole parish on his shoulders, and the
vestry have shown their hearty appre-
citation of his labors by giving him a
well-earned and deserved vacation. 1t
seldom happens that so important q
trust falls to the lot of such 8 young
man. When called to st. Michael's
last November Mr.. Baker had been in
orders but few months, having been
ordained to the priesthood at his alma
mater, the Virginia Theological Semi
nary, in July 1894. Mr.. Baker will
spend his vacation with his parents and
friends in Virginia"
This paragraph precedes a synopsis
of sermon delivered by Mr. B. thepre-
vious Sunday, and which the Neacs and
Courier describes as an eloquent dis
course. This young minister spent the
early years of his life in this city and is
we'll known to many of our readers.

OF COURSE the Virginia democrats
are not concerned about the bill Gen.
eral Malone made his few followers
endorse at Petersburg last week, nor
would they be if that bill were enacted
into law, as, SO far as the general
voters would be effected, the chief
difference between it and the pres
emit election bill is that two ssuper-
visors"-a republican term-are the
substitutes for one constable at the
polling booths. But it would make q
vast difference to the republicans, for
by it., the General, who is the chairman
of their State committee, from which
position they cannot remove him,
would have the appointment OF the
republican members Of the county cleo
ton boards, and the naming of the re-
publican candidates, whenever there
should be rivals, as there always would
be if one should not be subject to his
orders.

DOCTORS DENoUNCE KIssING.-Re-
Gently DR.. C. F. Reilly, of the Chicago
board of health, issued in all earnest
ness circular on behalf of the board
denouncing the practice of kissing.
All the horrors of tuberculosis were
dwelt upon, and the manner in getting
the disease is pictured in glowing
words. It was said the malady was
communicated from the practice of
kissing. After going through the
whole list of baccilli disease, the doctor
ended up by declaring that any per-
son who INDUCED in kiss should at
once wash their lips in carbolized rose
water, and dry them thoroughly to
prevent the possible spread of diseases
from OSCILLATION.
The subject, Notwithstanding its Sc
riousness, was too much for the local
ways, and they have found such appar-
emily strong support from the younger
population that the good the circular
was intended to do<was neutralized by
the ridicule showered upon it. In
consequence, symposium of opinions
from doctors of renown has been pub
lished, and as they uphold almost
unanimously the teachings of DIR. Reil-
ly, it is thought that kissing will be-
come literally forbidden fruitp even
in the bosom of Chicago families.

B1GeEsT TURTLE IN CAPTIVITY

BIGGEST TURTLE IN CAPTIVITY
The monster sea turtle captured Friday
and now on exhibition in a salt water
tank on the fishing pier, at Asbury
Park, N. J., is greater curiosity than
q sea serpent. Since the captive was
place on the pier at noon Saturday no
less that $4,000 people have crowded
about the enclosure to obtain view of
this, the largest turtle in captivity. He
weighs S75 pounds, is three feet thick
from back 10 stomach, seven and a.half
feet long and four feet wide. His front
fiippers are two and a-half feet long
and one foot thick. They greatly re-
semble in shape screw propeller, and
their movement is very much like that
of wings. The turtles neck measures
As inches in circumference. The eyes
are about the size of a watch.
The turtle is of the leather-back va
riety and is very rare in this water. He
was caught Friday night in the fish
pond at Galilee, near Seabright. In
the baby parade on the boardwalk next
Saturday Senator Bradley will place
the monster on a float, gayly decorated
with the national colors. Upon the back
of the turtle will be a little girl dressed
as @ mermaid, holding ribbon reins, ex.
tending from the big fellows mouth.
There have been many copjectures as
to the age of this turtle. Senator Brad
ley thinks it was no small baby when
Columbus discovered America. 1t is
known that such turtles live to great
age. This specimen is believed TO be
akin to the species of gigantic land tor
toises which formerly inhabited the
Galapagos Islands in great abundance.

A Town BURNED.-All the business
portion of Berlin. Worcester county,
Md, together with many residences,
was completely destroyed by fire last
night. The total number of houses
burned was about ssyenty-five, the loss
100000, and the insurance about
$3.50, 600. The fire originated in the
stables owned by G.. w. Henry, pre-
sumably from a spark from cigar.
Very few persons were in town at the
time, owing to large camp meeting in
the vicinity, so the bucket brigade that
was formed WAS very Ineffective. The
flames soon spread towards the east
and south, consuming the. stables OF the
Atlantic Hotel, the Atlantic Hotel it
self, and the Savages Hotel. About
twenty residences were burned, the oc.
cupants of which are either wandering
about the streets or sleeping upon mat
tresses under trees. The total area
burned was about six acres. Only
three stores were left standing. The
fire started at $50, and ragged till after
midnight.

A WASHINGTON newspaper attributes
the fall of policeman of that city to
his constant attendance at the race
tracks in Alexandria county-though it
does not explain how he possibly could
have been there under ordinary disci-
pline. But it does not attribute the
fall of either Mr.. Biscoe's or Mr.. Silby's
clerks, in Washington, neither of whom
played the races, to attendance upon
the tracks referred to. There is great
difference between tweedledum and
