HOSPITAL AID SOCIETY.
Great Progress Made and Much En-
thuAiuHm Among the Memleca.

thusinsm Among the Members.
Despite inclement weather yesterday af
ternCon, there was a fairly good attend
ance at the meeting of the Hospital Aid
Society of the Georgetown College. Jus
tice Morris was unable to be present and
preside, and this duty was performed by
DIR. Richards, president of the college
The greatest enthusiasm prevails among
the workers for the hospital, and the out
look is that within another month work
Will be begun on the institution which
promises so much good. The report of Sec
retary Kober yesterday afternoon showed
that over $4,000 has been raised so far.
Not quite $4,000 of this is in cash. the re-
mainder being subscriptions covering pc
riod of five years. 1t is necessary to have
$4,000 in available cash before the work
begins, and the hope is that the remainder
will be raised within the next few weeks.
Everybody is at work. The ladies who are
working are collecting small sums wherever
they can induce subscriptions and these
help.
DR.. Joseph Tabor Johnson. chairman of
the building committee, was unable to be
present, and no report was received from
his committee. A coed many people un-
able to give money have promised lumber
and other things
The subscriptions received so far consist
of 1852 in available cash and $500, pay
able In yearly installments. 1t is believed
that an Unknown man will subscribe $15 900
In cash so soon as the cash subscriptions
reach the same amount. This will give
10000. The following are among the sub
scriptions since the last meeting: W. c. p
HaZen. 800; Thomas Hyde, 500; unknown
friend. $500; Woodward & Lothrop $3.50;
Metropolitan Railroad Company. $3.50; T.
i. keene, 500, and Dr. A Mackay-Smith
800.
Samuel T. Williams donated 500 for the
endowment of bed in memory of his de-
ceased wife. Caroline Rives Williams The
society will meet again on Monday, May
), at pm, at the Arlington.

Capital RAILWAY.

The protest of President Griswold against
the building of a portion of the CAPITAL
railway came up before the Commission
ers late yesterday afternoon for final ad-
justment. Representatives of the Capital
Railway Company were present and Presi-
dent Griswold of the Anacostia road was
also on hand to present his case. The
objection arose from the application of the
Capital railways representatives for per-
mission to bond the rails of the Anacostia
road for the purpose of completing cleo
trical connection. President Griswold OBJ
jected to the use of his tracks in Nichols
avenue and Monroe street, and said there
was no authority for such use. The Com
missioners heard both sides, and, after
the hearing closed, granted the permit to
the Capital railway to make the changes
requested.

POLITICAL CENSUS.
Not Much Information Obtained at the
District Building.


District Building.
When 1t became known that the political
census of the clerks in the District build
ing had no warrant of the Commissioners.
the clerks became easy, and today they
are treating the whole matter as a po-
litical Joke. They believe it had some sig
ni1cance, but refuse to be intervie wed.
There is still considerable comment about
1t, and when one clerk meets another, in
stead of passing the pleasantries of the
day, he Is asked his politics. The CLERK
who compiled the list is full of funny ex-
record as "prohibitionists." Several, 1t is
stated, desired to be put down as woman
suffragists,' and not few who live in
the suburbs desired to be known as ''popu-
lists
This new list really amounts to nothing,
since 1t Is by no means accurate. The
clerks, as soon as they heard that the
compilation was not ordered by the Com
it was said yesterday that only one demo-
crat on each floor could be found. There
are several instances where men who here
tofOre signed democrats put them
selves down as republicans, and did so in
good faith. Whether this really repre-
sented their political belief is not ventured.
1t was stated this morning by promi
nent head in the engineer department that
an entire room full of clerks refused to an
rogator, and in one case, rather than an
swer the questions propounded, a number
of engineers found pressing business in the
field

METHODIST MINISTER'S
Mr. Van Arsdale May Be Appointed to the
Twelfth Street Ohunch.
The Present Faster, Rev. w. G. Cas-
sard, Has Been Appointed
Naval Chaplain.

1t is understood that Rev. W. W. Van
Arsdale. the former pastor Of the Fifteenth
Street Methodist Episcopal Church, who
was transferred by Bishop Mallalieu at
the last conference to Hagerstown, will
be appointed by Presiding Elder Wilson
pastor Of the Twelfth Street Church, to
succeed Rev. w. G. Cassard, the latter
having been appointed by President Nc
kinley a chaplain in the navy.
The readers of The Star will remember
that the church to which Mr. Van Arsdale
was assigned by the presiding bishop of
the conference declined to receive him,
solely because they had asked for the ap-
pointment of another minister and as
MIR Van Arsdale would not take charge Of
the church under those circumstances, he
was left for the time being without a sta
ton.
Chaplain Cassard.
The appointment of Mr. Cassard to the
chaplaincy In the navy. which, 1t is under
stood. was due to the influence of Bishop
Hurst. has created considerable comment
among his brother ministers of the Balti-
more NJ. E. conference. Mr.. Cassard is a
native of Maryland. but has been a resi-
dent of Washington for q year He was
born in baltimore in 1854. But few years
of his early life were spent in the city,
to Berkeley Springs, W. Va, and from
there to Washington, where his education
was finished.
In 1885 Mr.. cassard began his minis
Southern Methodist Church, serving sue
cessively Calvert circuit. Md: hunters
Vile and Anderson. w. Va, charges. While
at the latter place he transferred his af
Church, and was appointed to Severn cir
cult In Anne Arundel county. in 1888. He
was sent to Calvert circuit from there,
and then to Arlington and Pimlico, on the
northwestern suburbs of Baltimore, in
1898.
He is an Editor.
During the two years of his Baltimore
ministry Mr.. Cassard was identified promi-
nently with the Junior Order of Mechanics,
and is still the editor of it's official organ in
this city. He also was an active member of
the society which took Summing tours,
composed of the Rev. Messrs. Heisse and
Guthrie and himself.
In politics he was a prohibitionist during
the campaign of 1S90, and made such
ardent stump speeches against both the
republican and democratic parties that one
of the Baltimore county newspapers pub
llshed some scathing editorials upon his ap
plying for the chaplaincy of the Maryland
legislature under the republican nomina-
tion.
other Methodist Naval Chnplains.
In 1895 Mr.. Cassard was appointed to the
Twelfth Street Church, Washington, which
is near the navy yard. He was one of the
first Washington Methodist pastors to in
vite President Mckinley to attend his
church.
The Baltimore conference already has one
active chaplain in the United States navy.
and Rev. II. H. Clark, now serving at the
Naval Academy, and the Rev. j. B. Van
Meter. dean of the Woman's College. held
a number OF years.
Mr.. Cassard will, as stated, resign from
the Twelfth Street pastorate. and the pull
