preacher, is visiting America by invita-
ton of the Brotherhood of st. Andrew, and

ton of the brotherhood to be held in Buff

logical essays, entitled LUX Mundi,"

ability of the cssayists as for the boldness
and originality of some of their statements
of Christian doctrine.
Few theologians in England today exert
so wide an influence, especially among the
younger clergy and laity, as DR.. Gore and the
opportunity of hearing him in America is
hailed by thoughtful men of all schools

In order to have the supervisors of cleo
ton recognize such a ticket, 1T is neces-
sary that the signatures Of five hundred
voters be obtained. and when this condi-
ton Is carried out the supervisors are
bound to place the ticket upon the official
ballot. 1t is with this end In view that the
ents state that within a few days similar
petitions will be in circulation in every
election district in the county.
The proposed Independent ticket Is as
follows: Philip Lee Goldsborough Of Cam
bridge, Dorchester county, for controller of
the state; Allan Rutherford of Gathers
burg, Montgomery county, for clerk of the

INQUEST NOT NECESSARY.
Death of John Cassidy mt Capital
Traction Power House.

Coroner Carr yesterday investigated the
circumstances attending the death of John
Cassidy at the central power house early
Sunday morning, and decided that an in
quest was unnecessary. The unfortunate
man, who was splicer in the employ of
the Capital Traction Company, was en-
gagged with Samuel w. Woods in taking I'D
a slack in the rope after the cars had stop
ped running for the night, when, in some
manner, a half-inch MANILA rope, used as
a guide for the wire rope, slipped and
caught Cassidy so as to form loop around
his neck. The wheel, which was moving
quite rapidly. jerked Cassidy forward and
broke his neck, causing his instant death.
The remains were conveyed to the late
home of the deceased on 0 street south
west, to await interment. Cassidy had
been in the employ of the railway COM
pany for several years. He leaves a wife
and one child.

WINDS Up WITH A DINNER.

Committee of n. E. A. Closes Its In
.pectiOn of Washington.
AS windup of the visit of the committee
of the National Educational Association
here dinner was given in its honor
Saturday evening by Proprietor Staples of
the Riggs House. Besides the visitors,
there were present number of the leading
men III District affairs including the Com
missioners.
Commissioner Ross was introduced at the
dinner by the chairman of the local execu-
tive committee, H. F. Blount. He extended
an invitation to the members to hold the
convention here, and hoped that the city
would be selected.
Ex-Congressnan Charles r. Skinner
of the visiting committee replied to Com
missioner Ross. He spoke in a most COM
pllmentary manner of the advantages in
having the convention here A visit to
Washington, he said, would be of great
value to the educators. While. the latter
would derive much benefit from the visit,
they would also contribute their share to
the city. The question to be decided, in
brief, he said, was whether the convention
should assemble in Washington, Salt Lake
City or Omaha.
At the conclusion of the banquet, Col
Staples was given a unanimous vote of
thanks. an informal reception was held by
the members of the visiting committee.
The members left Washington for New
York yesterday. They will later visit Los
Angeles, Omaha and Salt Lake City 1t
is deemed hardly probable that Omaha will
stand chance for the convention, as the
city will be already crowded by the atten-
dance at the Trans-Mississippi exposition,
which will be at the time the convention
will meet. Salt Lake City has one great
argument in its favor, which is its large
tabernacle, seating 1900 persons.
While the members of the committee
would, of course, not commit themselves
In the matter of place for the convention
II could be seen that they were most ia
vorably impressed with their inspection of
Washington. The halls and churches visit
ed they thought, would be entirely suited
to the purposes of the convention, should
them was that they were close together
The decision in regard to the convention
city will be made in about a month.

AEuIuSt DeStrOyluB the SnfuDDerys
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I am sorry I cannot agree with Capitol
Hill in his commentator of the removal
of shrubbery in Capitol Park. 1 passed
through 1t the other day and thoroughly
agreed with friend who accompanied me-
who characterized 1t as one of the greatest
pieces of vandalism that has been perpe-
trated on our beautiful parks There was
nothing more beautiful in our city, or any
city this side of the ocean, than Capitol
Park, in its gorgeous robes of spring and
carly summer. l know that residents of
the northwest frequently visited Capitol
Hill at such seasons to enjoy the beauty
of its winding paths, varieties and con-
trasts of shade and color, quiet hooks and
changing vistas- Now all Is changed;
patches of earth and barren waste greet
the eye instead.
The same destructive influences were
clamoring few years ago for the removal
of the beautiful double line of shade trees
in the center of New York avenue. I'M
agine the people of New York city consent
ing to the destruction Of the ramble. the
labyrinth and other secluded byways and
hooks because they furnish hiding places
for rascals.

Bold Act of n Rogue ut Residence I'm
Northwest.
There was an exciting time in the house
OF S. Fishman, No. 62I 1 street northwest,
Saturday evening, between and 8 o'clock.
A colored thief who was in the house ran
sacking a closet, set fire to the house and
then escaped. He was seen to leave the
house by the basement door. and Mrs. Sum-
mers, who lives in the adjoining house, dis
covered the fire.
Sergt Hamilton and Policeman Fftz-
gerald we're summoned, and they turned in
an alarm from box 127. Members of the
family were at dinner in the rear part of
the house when the colored intruder walked
boldly in the front door and went to the
top story. 1t is thought he lighted a match
to what was in the closet and that the
fire was the result of carelessness.
The room was filled with smoke when the
policemen and firemen reached the top
floor. but the flames did not gain much
Roadway, and only about $25 in damage
was done. The thief took away some cloth
ing and a revolver.
