Change at ST. AnthOny's Church.

The congregation of St. Anthony's Cath
ole Church of Brookland deeply regret
that the pastor, Rev. ]. A. Cunnane, is to
be removed. Father Cunnane has greatly
endeared himself to the congregation since
he was placed in charge of the parish, a
year and a half ago, and during his pas
torate much progress has been made in
this rising church. which is but a few years
old. Both the congregation and Father
Cunnane had every reason to believe that
there would be no change in their relations,
SO much. so that preparations were being
made to rent small house near the church
and furnish 1t for the pastoral residence
The news that Father Cunnane is to be
stationed at Rockville. Nd. and Rev Fa-
ther Harmon. formerly of st. PauFs Church,
now temporarily in Baltimore, is to have
charge OF St Anthony's Church at Brook
land was surprise and a shock to Brook
land If no change is made in the present
arrangements, Father Cunnane will leave
Brookiand the LIST of October and have a
months vacation and report at Rockville
by November l. Father lannon's charge
at st. Anthony's Church begins October l
Father Cunnane greatly regrets leaving
Brookand, where he has grown to love his
congregation and where he has greatly i'm
proved in health.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT
Miss Catharine Thomas Killed by Metropoli-
tan Electric Car.
Was Knocked From Her Bicycle
Observation-Disclosures Arrested.

Miss Catherine Thomas, a young lady
who lived with her mother at No. 625 K
street northwest. was knocked from her
bicycle by Metropolitan electric car and
fatally injured about 1870 o'clock last
night. The accident occurred at AZ and c
streets southwest, and the young lady was
taken to the Emergency Hospital, where
she died soon after midnight. Miss Thomas
was returning from a visit to the sick SOL
diers at the Washington barracks. She
went to the hospital early in the evening,
in company with a party of ladies, her
mother being of the party. The young
lady and Miss Mary Devereaux went on
their bicycles, and on the return trip they
rode near the car in which the other mem
bers of the party were riding.
Miss Thomas rode to the side of the car
so to be able to converse with her
friends, while Miss Devereaux kept to the
rear of the moving train. In order that
she might ride on the concrete pavement
Miss Thomas kept her wheel on the south
bound track. When near the intersection
of street southbound motor car and
trailer came along. Miss Devereaux, who
first to see Miss Thomas danger,
made an cutlery, and the latter endeavored
to get out of the way, but the car was
coming toward her at such speed that
the motorman could not stop in time to
save her, and she was run over. The
motorman stopped his train as soon as
possible, however, and the young lady,
who had lost consciousness, was picked up.
She put in a cab and driven to the
Emergency Hospital rapidly as possible.
When the hospital was reached the doc
tors found injury to the head, which
they regarded as necessarily fatal Be
cause of her condition an operation was
useless, and. already stated, the patient
died soon after midnight.
1he police were notified of what had hap
pened. and they arrested Albert L. De
Montifredy, the conductor and William F.
Berry the motorman. They were taken to
the fourth precinct station, to be detained
until the inquest, which is to be held to-
morrow at noon.

A WONDERFUL SIGHT.
The Tree of Ten Thousand Images I'm
Thfhet.

From the San Francisco Call
OF all the wonderful sights reported by
the Jesuit missionaries, Hue and Goblet
during their explorations of Tibet, by far
the strangest is what they have to say of
the Tree of Ten Thousand Images. They
had heard about this wonderful tree long
before they reached the locality of its
growth. and, as they approached the spot.
their curiosity regarding it increased a
Thousand fold.
Here is their narrative of the result of
their examination of the tree:
1T will here be naturally expected that
we say something about this tree itself.
Does it exist? Have we seen it? Has it
any peculiar attributes? What about its
marvellous leaves?
Yes, this tree does exist At the foot
of the mountains on which the Lamasery
stands, and not far from the principal
Buddhist temple, is great square inclo-
sure, formed by brick walls. Upon entering
this we were able to examine at leisure
the marvellous tree, some of the branches
of which had already manifested them
selves above the wall.
Our eyes were first directed with earn
est curiosity to the leaves, and we were
filled with an absolute CONSERVATION of
aStonishment at finding that, in point of
Well-formed Thibetan characters, all of a
green color, some darker, some lighter.
than the leaf itself. Our first impression
was a suspicion of fraud on the part of the
Lamas; but, after a minute examination
Of every detail. we could not discover the
least deception. The char acters all ap-
peared to us portions of the leaf itself,
equally with its veins and nerves; the po-
sition was not the same in all; in one leaf
they would be at the top of the leaf; in
another, in the middle; in third, at the
base. or at the side; the younger leaves
represented the characters only in q par
tial state of formation.
'"Tke bark of the tree and its branches,
which resemble that of the plane tree are
also covered with these characters When
you remove a piece of the old bark the
young bark under it exhibits the indis-
tinct outlines of characters in a germinat-
ing state, and, what is very singular, these
new characters are not infreQuently diff
ferent from those which they replace. We
examined everything with the closest at
tention, in order to detect some traces of
trickery, but we could discern nothing of
the sort"
The missionaries, Hue and Goblet, might
have remained IN Tibet as long as they
wished had it not been for the interference
of the Chinese ambassador there. For
some reason this individual took dislike
to them, and ultimately caused them to
depart. The Lamas were willing that they
shot ld remain, but it appeared to the mis-
sionaries that their presence might cause
disturbance. go they quickly withdrew TAX
ing with them some OF the first facts ever
gathered in that mysterious land.

WERE NOT ALL FAKE
Some Color to Reports of Naval En-
gaEements on Nova Scotia,

Some Color to Reports of Naval En-
gasements OF Nova Scotia
From the Weather Review.
At the beginning of the war the report
ed naval engagements off the coast of
Nova Scotia, based on the mysterious
booming noises that We're heard and at
tributed to the firing of ordinances. per-
picked many thinking people, as it was
We'll known that none of our vessels were
in the neighborhood, and it was also hardly
possible that there were any Spanish war
ships in that vicinity. Recently, however,
Prof Kahn of the Natural History Society
of st. Johns, New Brunswick, offered a
few suggestions as to the probable origin
of these sounds, since it has been concIu
siVely shown that no naval encounters took
place in that quarter. 1t appears from this
article that such booming sounds are
by no means rare occurrence on this
coast. and yet their source is yelled in
mystery. They are compared to the crack
of cannon, and sometimes as at Cannot
Rock lighthouse, the sound is as sharp
as the report of twenty-four-pounder
cannon fired twenty yards from the build
ing, accompanied by a shaking of the
ground" While these sounds have been
generally attributed to some form Of earth
disturbance, and are thus termed seismic
noises, that such is their origin is by no
means an established facts Another prob
able origin of some of the Sounds is to be
found in the salt water drnmfish common
in this district. These drumfish attain a
size of four feet, and, according to the best
natural history authorities, the sound thew
give out resembles the raprof a drum. and
is SO loud that when many of these fish are
gathered together 1t can be heard several
hundred yards from the water The nre-
else manner in which the noise Is made is
not clear, but it is believed to be due to
the forcing of air by muscular contraction
from the air bladder which they possess
In summing up the information Of the sub
1ect. Prof Kahn states that. while some
of the sounds made may be thus produced.
there are others so loud as to preclude the
possibility Of their being produced by any
fish, being heard on the hills a aEarter
mile from the shore. While some of the
sounds are produced by drum1sh, others
are due to the heavy thud of breakers on
cliffs and others to the cracking Of rocks
in lodges, such as lighthouses frequently
stand upon, and still others are due to
earthquakes occurring at the bottom of
the sea- In substantiation Of the latter
cause, 1t is pointed out that vessels travel
ing between New York and Newfoundland
often meet great, solitary waves, such as
are Of frequent occurrence near some Of
the seismic centers Of disturbance In the
Pacific ocean.
