thew's Chapel, Washington parish, at IL
am. yesterday, being the first church of
this District consecrated by the bishop in
the new diocese Of Washington Notwith-
standing the inclemency of the weather, a
good congregation was present on the &C.
caSion.
The service was a very beautiful and i'm
pressive one. After the conservation and
service of morning prayer came confirma-
ton OF candidates from the parish church
and st. Matthew'S: then followed the
bishops address to the newly confirmed
and the congregation at large, after which
the holy communion was administered.

Wheat and Silver,

T, the Editor of The Evening Star:
Can you tell us the present price of sill
yer? 1 do not see it quoted anywhere.
Wheat / see has gone up to $40 per
bushel, with the statement that 1t may go
to 81, while silver is somewhere in the
ne:ghoorhood of fifty cents!
What a commentary on the statement
SO often reiterated during the last cam
paign. that the price of wheat was gov
erned by the price of silver!
People should learn the common-sense
lesson that the price of all articles is gov
erned by the law OF supply and demand.

able knowledge of the workings of the
bureau of which he takes charge, as well
as personal acquaintance with the public
officials with whom he Will thus be brought

that he was not an applicant for this or

other person for this position when he be-
came aware that change was in con-
temptation.

Deeds OF Valor in War Kept In Re
membrance.
The military revival of japan, which
began with the conquest of China,
showed itself in the various ways the
great industries of the country cele-
brated the heroic incidents and victories
of the war, says Atlantic. The toy
makers sent out legions of mechanical
toys representing the flight of Chinese
soldiers, the storming of Port Arthur
and the fight of the japanese flagship
with the enemy's ironclads.
Artists commemorated the nations
triumphs in porcelain, metal work and
lacquer ware. Designers portrG yed.
them on the dresses of men, women
and children. Tobacco pouches, sleeve
buttons, hairpins, combs and even chop
sticks were covered with representa-
tons that expressed the war spirit.
Bundles of toothpicks in tiny cases
were offered for sale, each toothpicli
having engraved upon it, in micro
scopic text, a different poem about the
war.
Gallant deeds were dramatized. The
fatal courage of a japanese soldier who
scaled rampant and opened fortress
gate to his comrades; the heroism of
II troopers who held their own against
200 infantry; the successful charge of
unarmed coolies upon Chinese bat
TALON were reproduced before thou
sands of spectators. Mr.. Hearn men
tons one incident whose realistic por-
trayal must have thrilled the audience
the death of the bugler, Shirakami
Genjiro. .... -..
At the battle of Song-Hwan this Jap
anese bugler was ordered to sound the
charge. He had sounded 1t once when
bullet passed through his lungs,
throwing him down. His comrades
tried to take the bugle away, seeing
his wound was fatal. He wrested it
from them, lifted it again to his lips,
sounded the charge once more with all
his strength and fell back dead.
