The people who appear behind the foot

every week the hotel had a new set Of

last year or SC a number of companies have
stranded In this city or have found great
difficulty In getting out of town, and when
they did leave they also left a good many
unpaid board bills behind them. As a rule
hotel people kept their trunks, and I'D in the

DEATH OF REV. MIR. BorELER.
The Sad News Announced mt the En-
worth Church Services Yesterdnv

The Sad News Announced Mt the En-
worth Church Services Yesterday.
Rev. John Wesley Boteler. the veteran
and widely known minister of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, whose criti-
cal illness has been referred to from time
to time In The Star for several weeks past
died last evening at his home, No. 227 I'd
street southeast, in his sixty-seventh year.
BY singular coincidence, the choir of
Epworth M. E. Church South, Of which Mr.
Boteler was the beloved leader, were en-
gased IN singing at the church one of Mr.
the Lord, at the very moment that the
spirit Of Mr.. Boteler passed away.
The news Of the death was sent to the
church by special MESSENGER who
reached there just as Rev. DR.. Canter, who
was officiating in the absence of the pastor
Rev. j. o. K,lott was about to pronounce
the tenediction. DR.. Canter announced the
sad intelligence to the audience in feeling
and appropriate language.
The news was great shock to the men,
bers OF the congregation, although 1T had
been feared for some time that Mr.. Boteler
could not re cover.
The funeral will take place, probably, to-
morrow from Epworth Church. and the
services will be in charge of Rev. ]. O.
Knott. though it is expected that Rev. Dr.
Washington district; Rev. Dr.: canter Of
Mount Vernon Place Church and perhaps
other ministers will participate.
AS heretofore stated in a full sketch of
the life of Mr.. Boteler, which appeared in
The Star about two weeks ago, the de-
ceased entered the ministry in 1850. For
many years, however, he has had a super
numerary relation In the conference, and has
occupied the position of secretary of the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He has,
however, been quite prominent in church
affairs, especially in connection with those
of Epworth. Mr.. Boteler leaves a widow,
dQn0hfarS a
and two brothers, Messrs. James E. and e.
NJ. Boteler.

beginning of the planked shad dinners at
Marshall Hall, the first one of the season
being given at that delightful resort yes
terday. For the first one Of the season a
large crowd went down and partook of the
famous shad dinner, although the weather
was threatening in the morning. The din
ing room was hardly large enough to hold
all of the excursionists, aud the large corps
of walters were barely able to attend to the
wants of all. The Hall Is beginning to take
on its spring dress and the green lawns
and trees are beginning TO wake I'D with
the release from cold weather. The return
trip was delightful, the Manchester being
used for the party. The planked shad din
ners will be given every Sunday during
April and May.

Mr.. Savage Will Not Lecture Tonight.

The chairman Of the board Of trustees of
All Souls Church states that Rev. Minot
J. Savage, who was suffering SO much yes
terday from an acute attack Of Indigestion,
brought on by severe mental strain, was
obliged to give up his services, as he has
not recovered is rapidly as it was hoped
last night he would. He suffered another
slight attack this morning, and in the opin-
ion of his physician 1t would be very indis-
Greet and somewhat dangerous for him to
attempt to lecture this evening at All Souls
In accordance with announcement. All who
have purchased tickets will, Of course, have
their money refunded. The friends Of Mr.
Savage need not be at all alarmed as there
are no dangerous symptoms attending his
attack.
