downfall of Rev. W. c. Irwin, Pres
byterian minister, who went there with
his family three years ago, from Gin.
cinnati. One of his flock was pretty
little Annie Kay, 16 years of age,
and daughter OF a widow. He per-
suaded Mrs. Kay to let her daughter
so home to Goshen one Sunday. The
trip was made, but the return was in
the night. He began to write loving
letters and on Thursday wrote, asking
her to elope with him. The same dav
they were seen by his wife in an affec.
tionate attitude. On Friday Mrs. Kay
and Howard Drake called on Mr..
Irwin. He at first denied everything,
but when the letters were brought forth
and the girls story was told, he said !:
st am guilty. Surely the devil is in
me. But those who love the Lord love
everything else" The church elders
found him guilty of adultery and he
has disappeared. Mr.. Irwin is portly
man, Is years of age, and has family
of grown children, one being Presby-
terian minister in Cincinnati. Mrs.
Irwin is i'll from nervous prostration.

st. Mary's Church will be formally
opened to the public on Sunday next.
Elaborate preparations have been
made and the occasion will be an inter.
esting one. The order of the services
was published yesterday, and the re.
dedication is fondly anticipated by the
many who have labored in one way
and another in the work of remodeling
the church.
The history of st. Mary's Church is
cotemporaneous with the Revolution
airy war;. a number of Catholics from
Maryland having settled here about
that time, among them being Col.
John Fitzgerald, who was member of
General Washington's staff. It is said
that the first resident priest in this city
occupied log house near what is now
the intersection of Princess and Royal
streets, or in what Is known as "Peters.
burg" and that this house was used es
chapel. In 1903 small square
church was built in the northwest cor
ner of the present cemetery, the lot
having been presented by Protestant
gentleman. This building was stand
ing in 1889, at which time it had been
deserted as church and was rendez-
vous for gamblers. 1t was pulled down
and the bricks are now in the porch OF
the residence of Capt. P. B. Hooe, or in
the old Lyceum Hall. Services were
held in various places in the city pre-
vious to 1909 or 1910. The nucleus of
the present St. Mary's Church was an
old Methodist Chapel on the alley in
the rear of the present church, which
was arranged for the use of the congre.
cation in the year 1877. The church
on the present site was erected in 1926,
since which time it has undergone al
terations and improvements, until now
with its massive stone front and stee-
pie, its beautiful interior and appoint
ments, it is one of the prettiest church
edifices in the country.

ST. MARY,s CHURCH REMoDELED.

The present church is OF cathedral
proportions, and is truly an imposing
structure. The building is IS feet
front by 120 deep, with wings on each
side, and has a seating capacity of
1000. The steeple is 127 feet from the
tip of the cross which summounts
it. The bulk of the work has
been executed by Alexandria mechan-
les, and the edi6ce will be a standing
monument to their skill. The rebuild
ing has been done under the general
supervision Of Mr.. Thomas N. Scott.
The stonework has been executed by
Mr.. J. w. Chauncey, the brick work
by Messrs. Joseph and Henry Padgett,
the painting by Messrs. Monroe and
Tomlin and the gas fitting by Mr.. Will
liam Desmond. The frescoing (Which
has been admirably executed) was done
by Emmett & Courtley, and the plans
for the remodeling were prepared by
Baldwin g. Pennington, of Baltimore.
While the exterior of the church is i'm
posing and attractive, the interior, by
its metamorphosis, has been rendered
beautiful. The removal of the gal
leries has sent floods of light into the
auditorium, and. coming, as it does,
though the dazzling variegated glass in
the windows, produces a grand effect.
The gas jets are now arranged above
the pews, or on the ratings running
east and west which petition them of.
This is a great improvement on the
old style method of placing them on
the walls. The sanctuary is being pre-
pared in an elaborate manner, and after
the finishing touches have been put
upon it, the brass altar railing, the
statuary, pictures and beautiful win
dows will produce grand spectacle.
All the arrangements for the rededica-
ton have been made, and on next
Sunday morning, when the organ shall
peal forth, there will be joy in the
hearts of all who have We'd in the
work CT rebuilding st. Mary's Church.

SOME of the toughs of Washington,
according to a paragraph in the GA
zETrE's Washington correspondence Of
yesterdays date, went to Montgomery
county, Maryland, last Sunday, and
created more disorder and caused more
bloodshed there on that one day than
those who have come to Alexandria
county have provoked in month. Il
will now be in order for the two news
papers and the board of trade of Wash
ington that have an especial spite
against the Alexander's Island race
track, to denounce the authorities of
Montgomery county and to instruct
the Governor of Maryland as to his
duties in the premises. If the news
papers and the board of trade referred
to would try to promote the execution
of the law and the preservation of Or
der in their city, and let outside com.
munities attend to theirs, they would
be engaged in work that would GER
tainly rebound more to the interest of
Washington. if not to their own.

The loss of the academy will be felt
in Alexandria in many ways. It has
done much work, having had on its
rolls mora than eighteen hundred stu
dents from twenty-nine States and Ter
ritories, Ireland, Cuba, and Peru. Most
of these have become useful, and even
distinguished men; congressman, mem.
bers of the legislature in different
States, diplomats, judges, mayors of
cities, army and naval officers, profess
ors in universities and colleges, superin.
tendents of schools, railroad superin-
tendents, clergymen of different de-
nominations, lawyers, physicians,
bankers, merchants, manufacturers &c.
In Alexandria for many years St.
Johns men have filed many of the
most important offices and in the in.
coming Council majority of the mem
bers OF both boards are men who were
educated there. 1t is hoped that the
change is not final, but that under
more suspicious circumstances the trus-
tees may be able to reopen the academy
for new and still greater career Of
usefulness.

The RECENT insult offered to South
ern lady in Boston, by the students OF
a Massachusetts college, who, under
her window sang, "We'll hang jeff
Davis to Sour Apple Tree" John
Browns Body" and other Northern
war songs, was, to say the least, by no
means complimentary either to the
manners of the students or to those of
the spectators who permitted it with
out objection. But good manners, like
poets, are born, not made, and the
climate of Massachusetts doesn't seem
to be congenial TO then.

ONE OF the two newspapers of Wash
ington whose chief object at present
apparently is to 'down" the Alexan-
der's Island race track, has become
disguised With its vain attempt to in
duce the thousands of unmarried ne
groes Gifts city who are living together,
to marry. Among the numerous Wash
ingtonians liable to punishment under
the Edmunds' law are many prominent
white people, and though warrants
against them have been issued, the law
officers are 10th to prosecute them. II
the white malefactcrs cannot be
brought to taw, why should the poor
negroes be? And if laws are not en-
forced in Washington, why should the
rigid execution of them be demanded
in Alexandria county?

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE IL, 1895
Mr.. Charles H. Hankinson, of New

Mr.. Charles II. Hankinson, OF New
York, the superintendent of the society
for the prevention of cruelty to animals
in that CITY. denies that rabies is con-
viewed by the bite of a dog. Many wise
and experienced physicians doubt the
existence of any such disease as the
word rabies popularity implies. There
never has been case Of it in Egypt,
where the female puppies ola litter are
not, as they are here, doomed to I'M
mediate death. Dogs, like men, go
mad. and not more frequently, but the
bite of the former is not more dangerous
than that of the latter, and all through
the South the beliefin the danger of the
bite Of "blue gum" nero is just as
prevalent as that of mad dog. All
wounds of tendons are liable to produce
tetanmus, of which lock-jaw is a symp.
ton, aud as most dog bites are on the
hands and feet, which are composed
chiefly of bones and tendons, lock:jaw
is often the result of them, but not more
frequently than of wounds caused by
treading on "rusty" nails-the bare
footed boys especial dread. Dogs flesh,
like that of mems, is heir to all manner
of ills, and if sick men were treated as
sick dogs are, the population of the
mad houses would be greatly increased.
The simple fact that the application Of
"mad stone" to mad dog bite, days
after the wound was inflicted, and when
the "virus" had permeated every atom
of the body, has effected 'cure" Of
rabies, proves, to all reasonable people,
that the disease was not conveyed by
the bite.
