erty or give me DEATH. 1t was De1Ore
the continental congress made its i'm
mortal declaration. 1t startled every
body, and the prayer was regarded a
seditious. But Barbara Meck's prayer
was a prophecy, the fulfillment OF
which she lived to see.
1t was in this Dumbarton church that
Bishop Asbury prayed, at the ccnclu-
sion Of the conferences: Lord, keep
the preachers humble!" and oil tho
preachers said: "Amen;" Lord, keep
the preachers hard at work" and oil
the preachers said: "Amen;" Lord,
keep the preachers poor;" and all the
preachers didn't say: "Amen."
That prayer has often been alluded to
at annual conferences, by bishops, eid-
crs and deacons, but few OF them know
that it was delivered in Dumbarton
Avenue church. Very few of the preach
ers of to-day would say "Amen" to >
prayer that they be kept poor. Indeed,
it is not likely that any bishop of to-
day, holding conference in this beauti-
full structure, would offer such prayer.
The men who proclaim the gospel OF
Methodism to-day wear broadcloth, and
the women wear fashionable garments
and jewclry. In those olden days the
Methodists were a plain people, and
were known by their dress. just as the
earnest people of the Salvation Army
are known to-day.
The Baltimore conference II regard.
ed as the richest conference In Amer
lean Methodism. The recent confer
ence in this city was presided over by
Bishop Merrill, and while the preach
ers were here many OF them attended
services in the new Dumbarton Avenue
church. Bishop Merrill was there ont
evening. and made short address, ant
Bishop Hurst also spoke to the young
people of this old church.
There is great rivalry in Dumbartor
between the Ladies' Home Missionary
society and the Ladies' Foreign Mission
ary society. Both of them raise mor'
money annually than the Ladies' Mite
society. and their accumulations art
approximately even- In this church, a.

LEPERS ESCAPE WHEN
 FANCY MOVES THEM
LAX METHODS IN VOGUE AT THE PESTHOUSE.
Two Chinese Climb the Fence While
 the Watchman Sleeps and Wan der at Will Through
 the City.

Two escapes within the past three days is the record at the pesthouse. On Mon day Lee 5Kem, leper In the advanced stage of that dread disease, took advant- age of the habitual drowsiness of Watch man Pepper, climbed the five foot fence around the institution and was found by the police on Tuesday indulging in 8 ""pipe" in Chinatown.
 On Wednesday How New Cling, leper suspect, made his way to Chinatown with as little trouble as his predecessor and he has not yet been apprehended, though the Health Department has notified the police and officers are on the hunt for the dangerous wanderer.
 Lee Kem's good-natured confession when he was recaptured on Tuesday gives some idea of the condition of affairs at the county's pesthouse. Asked why he left he replied that Chinatown was heap clean'' in comparison with. his recent quarters. He said he could get nothing that he needed at the pesthouse unless he went after it himself, and that he found no difficulty in leaving the grounds whenever the fancy struck him.
 There is no system of guards at the place, the drowsy Max Pepper, nephew of the only Max. being the only obstacle between the inmates and the people at large, and according to the statement of his prisoners he is not a strict jailer.

CITY LOSES ON
 M'GLADE'S DEFALCATION
TEN THEFTS DISCOVERED IN
 THE AUGUST ACCOUNTS.
Authorities Take No Stock in Re- ports That the Absconding Deputy Is Headed
 SouthWard,

Peter BfcGlade is being sought by the police. A comparison of the Auditors books with those of the Street Depart ment, made yesterday, developed the fact that the defaulting bookkeeper did not confine his frauds to the warrant brokers but by means of fraudulent warrants also robbed the city of nearly thousand dol lars. To accomplish his thefts he was obliged to forge the names of Superin- tendent Ambrose and Chief Deputy Thomas F. Clark and this he did with as little compunction as he signed the bogus labor tabs that he cashed with Bier & Regensburger.
 The investigation of the books, so far as it has progressed, has unearthed ten sep arate thefts, all of them committed in the McGlade secured blank warrant book and wrote orders on the treasury in favor of any name that struck his fancy. These he indorsed with the forged name of the deputy clerk and Superintendent Ambrose and swore to before Clerk Russell of the Board of Supervisors. The orders were then audited by the Street Committee of the board and finally paid by the Treas nrer.
 The fictitious names on McGIade-issued warrants and the amounts he realized upon them are as follows: H. Swords, s96; H. Murray. $6O; J.. Tierney, s12O; c. Murphy ss6; P. Coyne, ss6; T. Lynch, SIP; Thomas ,sGy R,wyer' 15ivp SSS Fat sMSeelch' s72 L. Mccarthy
 Owing to the fact that yesterday was warrant day at the City Hall, the inves- tigation of the books stopped at noon, but 1t will be resumed to-day, and Superin- tendent Ambrose is afraid that $500 will not cover all of the municipal shekels that his erring pookkeeper has got away with.
 The authorities are inclined to disbelieve the report that McGlade is headed for the southern country, and a thorough search is being made for him among his known haunts in this city. No warrant for his arrest has yet issued, but Mayor Phelan has notified Chief Lees to place him un- der arrest wherever found.

THE SYMPHONY
 AT THE ORPHEUM
Larger Attendance Than at the Pre- vious Performance and a Very
 Interestinp Concert


 The symphony concert yesterday after noon was marked by two material inn provements-first the audience was much more numerous than that at the seasons opening a fortnight ago; and, second, the ghosts of the yesternight's beer and cigars did not rise up and smite the nose. The Orpheum had been discreetly aired and disinfected, and the lilac of smart feminin- ity was given full play in the atmosphere. The programme was well ordered, al- Scheel had not given here before-some waltzes for string. orchestra by Fredrich Kiel They are decorous waltzeS, care fully scored and impassioned. They might have been written in frock coat. and they were played with something of the respectable spirit of that garment, al, though MT. -Scheel, as usual, conducted in the semi-dress of evening. The rest of the programme was versatile and glitter ing and splendidly interpreted. Tschai- kowsky's "Romeo and Juliet" overture, which we were introduced to on that memorable Sunday afternoon of last sea- son when Scheel played Beethoven's s even greater glow and freer rhythmic ef- feet than at the original performance, and Schumann's B fiat symphony was given its full measure of beauty and cor diality Especially perfect in the sym phony was the rendition of the slow move at times with almost trembling orchestra tion, and yet never was made banal by excessive rubato and hysterical emphasis. "The Entrance of the Gods in Walhalla," from "Rheingold," concluded the concert. It was played with plenty of pomp and smash but with hardly as cumulative power as Scheel gave to it the last time.
