Rehabilitation at Washington.

On Thursday, October o. 1898, Just fifty
years from its first dedication in the autumn
of 4S, the Unive -salst church of Washing
ton was re-dedcated. The metamorphosis of
the interior was amazing to the many visiting
friends from Barre, Montpelier and the neigh
boring towns, for the handsomely sealed wall,
the beautiful memorial windows and the care
fully selected furnishings presented an aston
ishing contrast to the old church.
The Rev. Effe X. Nj. Jones had the morn
ing sermon, taking for its basis st Luke, X, 81.
She spoke principally of the Christian miracle,
powerless to do great things for the Lord.
The afternoon sermon was delivered by the
Rev. l.. l.. Green of Oneonta n. Y. former
pastor of the church, who, after brief retro
specton of the years when he was among this
people, spoke from Exodus XVI, 81, explain
ing the necessity of renewing religion from
day to day, the urgent need of fresh supply
each morning. The hymn following was sung
at the dedication fifty years before;
On this fair spot where nature pays
From hill, and vale, and flower, and tree.
In morning beams, in evening rays,
Its homage, God of all, to thee
Thy children meet to dedicate
This temple to thy gracious name;
Our hearts and songs to elevate
Thy grace and glory to proclaim.
Here let the standard of thy word
BE raised and held by gospel hands;
Hlther bring hearts with one accord,
TO learn and do thy great commands.
And when we leave these courts below,
To join the hosts in praise above,
May Others here rejoice to know
Thy boun less everlasting love.
Mrs. Powers, wife of Rev. Mark Powers, a
former pastor, gave historical sketch of the
parish. its arious places of meeting, organza-
tons, and clergymen who have from time to
were extended by Rev. Effie K. NJ. Jones ;
Edward Wright, who spoke of his friendly
the present rector, Rev. A. M. Smith, to whose
tireless efforts are due the outgrowing of the
old church home and the eager struggle for
the new Mr.. Smith then pronounced the SEN
tence of dedication, and the congregation will
never forget the flood of glory that, at that
moment spread over the church. The day was
dark and windy, but just as the prayer was
offered the setting sun pushed aside the gray
curtains of cloud and shone through the Jew
eled pulpit window in all its evening splendor,
bestowing the benediction of the heavens upon
the little temple of he Lord and his worship
ers therein assembled.
Rev. Edward Wright preached in the eve
ming from the text, And for their sakes |
sanctify myself, that they also might be sane
titled through the truth" The music at the
services was excellent, including solos by Miss
Florence Henry. duets by Mrs. s. r. Carpen-
ter and Miss Henry, Miss Olive p. Calef and
Mr.. Carpenter, Miss Lula Durham presid-
ing at the organ.

HASHED STEAK ON TOAST

An excellent way to use cold beefsteak
of which there is often some left over.
Is to remove all fat, bone gristle, and
chop it fine. Put it in a stewpan with "a
tablespoon Of butter a seasoning of salt
and pepper, and enough boiling water to
moisten it. Place it whore it will keel
hot. Toast and butter thin slices Of
bread, and pour the hashed meat over
them.

MONSTER BAND WILL
PLAY AT THE FAIR

The Irish Fair has entered upon it's last
week, and the management is satisfied
that it will be a financial as well as
social success. Since 1t opened manager
L. w Buckley and Assistant Manager
Charles B. Tidball have been unremitting
in their attention to the various interests
of the big exposition.
AS the end draws near special efforts
are being made to present as many and
as varied forms of entertainment as pos
sible, and there is no doubt that they
will succeed. For several days Band
master George w. Bennett, who has done
such excellent work with his musicians
has had in preparation one of the most
unique musical treats that has ever been
presented in this city. He has completed
arrangements with the leaders of the

BRINGS A LOAD
Of GOLD DUST
Steamer Portland Ar
riVes From Alaska.

The steamer Portland from st.
Michael reached port late last night
with nearly two tons of gold belonging
to the Bank of Commerce at Dawson,
the Alaska Commercial Company and
twelve of the 240 passengers who came
down on the vessel.
Charles Anderson, pioneer Of the
gold fields, who is perhaps the most
wealthy miner in Dawson City, brings
with him dust and nuggets valued at
from 100000 to 100000. Anderson was
the virtual discoverer of Ell Dorado
Creek, but did only fairly well until
recently, when he met with a wonder
full piece of good fortune
During a spree he was induced to
buy No. 20 on Ell Dorado for $500. When
he awoke in the morning after his good
time and discovered a bill of sale for
the claim he felt that he had been vir-
tually robbed and attempted to secure
his money from the men who had sold
him the property, which he thought
valueless. His efforts to recover his
$500 proving of no avail he began pros
pecting to see just how badly he had
been bunkoed.
To his surprise he PANIED out gold
by the bucketful and it is estimated
that nearly $4,000 has been taken out
of the despised claim. The original
owners learned of the value of the
property which they had been SO ready
to dispose of at low figure and sought
to get it back from Anderson, but re-
ceived the laugh which they had given
the lucky Anderson at the time he had
been induced to purchase the claim.
A partner of Anderson, John Lee, also
came down on the steamer. He owns a
goodly share of the treasure aboard.
Just before the two men left Dawson
they purchased a half interest in claim
No. 80 on the Ell Dorado. For this in
terest they are said to have paid $685.
900.
Ed Nelson, William Young and
Charles Lamb are three other success
full miners from the Minook and Ell
Dorado districts. They, with Ander
son and Lee, are about the only ones
on the vessel having much gold, but
besides them six or seven other pas
sengers have perhaps 100000 divided
among them. About one hundred of
the passengers are laborers and car
penters who have been working in
Alaska.
1t is claimed by the miners that there
are about forty good claims around
Dawson, and the others hardly pay the
working. Minopk, Ell Dorado and
nearly all the creeks are overrated.
Circle City works steadily and good
strikes are being made near there. The
great rush at present is to kowukuk,
which is about $50 miles from Fort
Hamlin.
The river boats are not very likely
to get up even as far as Circle City.
The miners say that of the thirty
which have started up at least twenty
are already frozen in, and it is doubt
full if the remaining ten will be able
to get farther than the rapids.
Edward O'Brien, Waterman on the
Leah, was washed overheard near the
Russian mission and his body was not
recovered. He formerly lived in San
Francisco. Andrew Wilson, a sealer
on the Louisa, fell overheard anc was
drowned while loading coal at the Holy
Cross Mission.

Chief Lees expects to have his case be-
fore Governor Budd by the time / the
executive will have finished the business
which brings him to town.
OF the witnesses Mrs. Rauof, Mrs. Bot
kin's one-time friend and nurse, was the
first to arrive. She was Immediately
ushered into room 6, the official coming
tower, and the reduction of her evidence
to script consumed full two hours.
Frank S. Grey of the Owl Drug Com
pany followed, and he was closely ques-
toned not alone as to the circumstances
surrounding Mrs. Botkin's purchase of
powdered arsenic, but also with regard
to his previous acquaintance with the ac-
cused woman.
George Haas, the confectioner, to whose
store the fatal box has been traced, was
brought in, but his only testimony was
regarding his recognition of both box and
candy as the output of his establishment.
The dispositions of Mrs. Seeley, Miss
Lizzie Livernash, Detectives Gibson and
McVey, the employees of the City of Paris
and the shopping companions of Mrs.
Botkin remain to be taken.
1t is expected that w. A. Botkin, the
husband of the defendant, will be called
upon by the prosecution to tell of the
alleged sickness of his wife during her
stay in Stockton previous to arrest
Mr.. Botkin spent the morning with his
wife. Miss Dora Brown and Detective
Gibson were also morning visitors. In the
evening Attorney and Mrs. Frank Nc
Gowan came in for an hour upon unoff1-
cial business.

MIA phase of the prosecution. Mrs. Rauof,
Frank S. Grey and the others who have
supplied shreds and patches of evidence
We're SUMMONED to police headquarters
and made sworn statements. This teSti-
mony will be presented with that sent
from Delaware with the application for
extradition.
In the meantime two legal proceedings
must be considered in court. The appli-
cation of the defense for a writ of ha-
beas corpus will be called this morning
by Superior Judge Carroll Cook and will
be continued. 1t would obviously be a
waste OF energy to argue the case
at present, as the woman would be i'm
mediately rearrested even if Judge Cook
rendered a decision favorable to the de-
Tense. The matter will be postponed
therefore, until after the extradition pro-
ceedings take place before Judge Cook
The Police Court investigation has been
set for tomorrow morning before Judge
Joachimsen. 1t also will be evaded as
far as any definite issue is con-
cerned. Neither the District Attorney nor
the Chief of Police wishes to commit him
self to a position of prosecutor in this
proceeding. Under the theory of the pro-
secution the authorities are simply hold
ing Mrs. Botkin in custody until the is
sue of extradition has been determined.
The charge of murder has been made at

the request of the Delaware officers and
not with purpose of committing this
State to a prosecution of the woman
Delay will consequently mark the policy
of Chief of Police Lees and the District
Attorney. If, however, Judge Joachim-
sen should decide, as it is claimed he has
power to do, that this State has iurisdic-
ton in the case, a new and dangerous
complication would be interjected. The
police and not Mrs. Botkin's attorneys
would then be on the defensive These
a national interest. as they are novelties
in the history of American crime Every
effort will be made therefore to define the
law of jurisdiction of California even If
the fight must be carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States
The local authorities are acting now
with a very clear realization that their
hasty action of last week has caused
them a great deal of trouble and almost
involved them in the commission of fatal
plumbers. When the tragic case was
brought to the attention of the local
Grand Jury, Chief of Police Lees had NO
other purpose than to use the official in
QUESTION as drag net to force reluctant
all they knew. 1t was impossible osten-
sibly to use the Grand Jury for this pur-
pose and the authorities were willing.
at what they believed to be minor sacri-
fee to accept an Indictment for sending
poisoned CONNECTIONS through the mails
Even such an Indictment, however, would
commit Mrs. Botkin to a trial in this
State, the very result the police do NOT
want The proceedings before the Grand
Jury therefore, will be dropped and the
drag net will be cast in other waters.
