Lemonade with the sermon.

The Rev. DR.. ". c. Alexander, pastor of the
West Street Presbyterian Church. Georgetown,
delivered an interesting address yesterday after
noon before the members of the Young Mems
Christian Association the necessity, satisfac
ton and benefits of living Christian life. The
services were well attended, and after Dr. Alex
ander's address lemonade served TO the vis-
tors. 1t was also announced that fans would be
furnished those present, but on account OF the
pleasant weather this not found to be neces-
sary to the comfort of the members and their
friends. DIR. Alexander said it a great mis-
take which is made by many, to imagine that
the life Of the Christian is of melancholy
and that he does not enjoy any of the good
things of the world. The Christian, he said, is
serious but. in fact, he enjoys more OF the good
Of the world than anyone else There are large
number Of people, he said, who console themselves
that they are better than someone else, and that
at some time they will wholly turn their thoughts
TO God and follow in the footsteps OF Christ, but

raised in this city for service in the Phil
ippines, are wondering what action the
War Department will take in regard to the

dent, seeing service in the Philippines are
good. Wednesday. in company with Cen
eral Hawley, Captain Moss called upon the
President, but a meeting of the Cabinet
made an interview impossible Adjutant
General Corbin has also been seen and let
ters of endorsement from General Wheeler
and others were filed in his office. Cap
tain Moss and Lieutenant Dickinson will
call upon the President this morning.
The captain is a veteran OF the Confed-
crate Army. He was in General Wheel
er's corps and has the record of being a
hard fighter He was regarded as one OF
the best volunteer officers in service dur
ing the recent war. The men in his COM
mand- are from every State In the Union
and are seasoned veterans. The company
has lis officers and men. Should its
services be accepted the men will
be mustered in separately and as
signed TO the same company which
Captain Moss hopes TO command. II
Captain Moss does not receive a commits
sion the men will enlist in whatever COM
pany they can. Both officers and men are
anxious to go to the Philippines. The fact
that they are seasoned and experienced
veterans Will probably have considerable
weight with the President in determin-
ing the question of acceptance.

ANOTHER GUARD COMPANY.
An Effort Being Made to Form On
of Former Cadets.

An Effort Being Made to Form One
of Former Cadets.
A movement has been started in this city
toward the organization of a company to
be composed entirely of High School Ca
diets and former members of the Morton
Cadets to be mustered into the District
National Guard. The project is in the
hands of John Bethune and Van Potter
who have worked hard in recruiting men,
bers for these two organizations, with the
result that already there have been pro-
cured the names of over forty who are
willing to enter the guard in such a COM
pany. Both Mr.. Bethune and Mr.. Potter
have been authorized by General Harries
to raise the company, which will become a
part OF the militia as soon as sufficient
number of names TO complete a company
have been obtained.
Mr.. Bethune was lieutenant colonel of
the High School regiment in 1S97-'9S, and
is one of the best officers and tacticians the
High School Cadets have turned out. He
was also a member of the District Volun-
teer Regiment, and will make an excellent
officer. The boys intend to make the COM
pany more than an ordinary guard com
pany, and only cadets with considerable
training Will be allowed TO enlist 1t Is
expected that the result will be one of the
best drilled organizations in the guard,
and every effort Will be made to place the
company on an equal footing with the best
drill teams in the country. The new COM
pany will probably enter the interstate
drills. The captain will probably be John
Bethune, and the other officers will be Sc
lected from the most proficient and popu-
lar men.
The High School Cadets, under the in
struction OF Col. Burton r. Ross, have be-
come one of the best drilled military or
ganizations in the country, and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that a company composed
Of its graduates and former members of the
Morton Cadets, which ,ad an international
reputation of being thu best drilled mill
tary body in the United States, will be able
TO bring new honors to Washington. In
the Spanish American war the soldiers
who had received their training in the
Washington High Schools were among the
best men in the District Volunteer Regi-
ment, and on numerous occasions were
complimented by Col. George II. Harries
on their excellent record. An addition of
the kind proposed to the National Guard
will materially strengthen that organiza-
ton.

FIRE IN A PHOTOGRAPH STORE,
a stubborn Blaze Does Damage mt
Lawyer & Wagner's.

What might have been one of the most
destructive fires that Washington has ever
experienced broke out yesterday morning
at about 10 O'Clock in. the cellar of the
Photographic supply establishment con,
Quoted at 439 Seventh Street northwest, by
Edwin J. Lawyer and Howard c. Wagner,
under the firm name of Lawyer & Wagner,
and but for the determined efforts of the
firemen almost an entire business block
in tho heart of the city would have gone
up in smoke.
The fire was smoldering for a long
time before it was discovered, and when
the alarm was turned in at 10 o'clock the
entire street was filled with dense smoke
that ehoked and stified and hindered the
iremen in their efforts 10 locate the blaze
After some little search the fire was To-
Gated, however, and then a new difficulty
confronted the men. There was no way
to reach the flames without tearing out
almost all Of the rear of the building. The
cellar was densely packed with empty
cases, excelsior, waste paper, and other
rubbish. and IT was impossible to get line
of hose TO the place where the blaze had
been located.
An entrance to the cellar was effected
by way of a small trap-door, but the fire.
men could not get enough water through
this place TO quench the blaze. A Sc
ries OF holes was then made in the flooring
and another door was cut through. Then il
was that the fremen discovered that the en-
tire cellar was so filled with waste matter
that they would have TO cut their way
through 10 the place where the blaze had
started. The density OF the rubbish helped
TO extinguish the blaze, too it is thought,
because 1t was so thick that the air could
hardly pass through and a draft WAS i'm.
possible. The smoke rose in thick, black
clouds from the smoldering embers long af
ter the fremen had extinguished the last
Of the blaze, and penetrated the doors and
windows of the adjoining stores where
it wrought damage that the flames them
selves had been prevented from doing.
The stores of Samuel Hermann and Else
man Brothers were completely enveloped
In smoke and il is thought that consider
able damage was done the stock OF these
establishments.
The exact amount of the damage cannot
be determined until an inventory of the
stock has been taken, but il is thought
| that II Will be quite large. The damage
done the Lawyer G. Wagner store can be
repaired for about $500. Neither member
of the firm of Lawyer & Wagner was in
the city yesterday and It is not known
what was their loss so far as the stock is
concerned. 1t is composed Of Photographic
supplies. which are very valuable and are
easily damaged.

Expansion in Religion.

The Rev. ]. Fred Heisse. pastor of Wesley NJ.
E. Chapel at the corner OF Fifth and Streets,
preached on the topic, THE Old Gospel or the
New-Which?," treating it in a liberal manner.
He took his text from the eighth verse of the
first chapter of the epistle of Paul to the Gala
tians, in which the teacher urged his readers to
distinguish between the old and new forms OF
religion. People recognize that all truth is not
wrapped up IN one mans brain or In any one
creed, he said This is age when men think
for themselves, and because a statement comes
from brilliant mind it is not credited as fully as
formerly. This is an age of change, and We
must adapt ourselves to the changes. which are
constantly taking place. We have respect for the
past but we must not stand wholly upon the
Learning and wisdom OF ioreiathers.
