Historical sketches Read ut the Mid

Historical Sketches Read ut the Mid
winter Session
Members Of the Episcopal Churchman'S
League met at st. Johns Parish Hall last
nigh, for the regular winter session Of
that body. Historical sketches Of Wash
ington parish and Epiphany parish were
read by Messrs. Orrin B. Hallam and
Lewis >. Davis. respectively. The deyeI-
meHt Of the older parishes in the District
was generally discussed. and a bill TO
limit the issuance Of divorces in the IDS
trict was referred 10 the executive com
mittee for action. About 100 members
were present
Mr. Hallam and Mr.. Davis both reviewed
the development Of their parishes through
the various stages Of existence. Wash
ington parish dates it's history back as far
back as 1877. according 90 Mr. Haliam.
Epiphany IS an OfIshoot Of about thirty
years later These dates, which seemed to
be the points OF greatest interest excited
much debate among the Churchmen, most
Of them adding or subtracting a year. by
referring 10 canOnical authorities Inter
est in the subject was so great that SINH
lar papers were desired by the league
from members Of Rock Creek and George
town parishes.
At the request OF Bishop Satterlee. Mr.
A X. Paris and others the league under
took the consideration OF a bin for the re-
strictiOn Of divorces in the District and
the Territories OF the United States. such
a measure having been submitted for its
consideration and subsequent support
When about a dozen members had spoken
il became evident that the organization.
while a unit for the cause. was much di-
vided as TO methods Finally a way out Of
the difficulty was found by referring the
bill TO the executive committee for such
action as il should deem wise. Bishop
Satterlee and DR.. Randolph McKim, rector
should declare itself in favor Of the meas
ure. Il was modelled, they argued, closely
on canoncal lines. This was opposed as
being too hasty. Many present would
have deferred a vote indefinitely On the
final question the league stood 45 for re
ferring the bill and IS against.

II Is the general opinion that the unani-

dfspOses finally Of the gossip regarding the
sale OF the company TO any outside inter

was SO.O75.
The other three old directors who were
reelected, Messrs. Dunlop, Bullet, and
Orme, received only 1900 votes each, be-
ing cut about 5000 votes each. 1t is sug-
gested by some that this may indicate
dissatisfaction on the part Of some stock
holders at the entire scheme TO sell the
company

The new Union Trust and Storage Com

two buildings in the business part OF the

made between them as. yet according to
officers Of the company. but IL is believed
that the choice viii be made today or to-

The company viii begin the building OF
its storage warehouse on the Baltimore

are being drawn for the building but they
have been somewhat delayed On account
OF the uncertainty as 10 grades and other
matters until the Grade Crossing bill be
comes a law. No arrangements for a
warehouse on the Pennsylvania line have
been made as yet because Of the same

is probable that one site on Water Street

LAUNDRIEs FOR wA1sHIPs.
New Vessels TO BE Equipped With
Modern MACHINERY

Complete laundry equipments are to be
provided for the three new battIeships
authorized at the last session OF Congress
and for which designs are now being pre-
pared by the constructors. These will be
the first warships in the world with an
equipment Of this kind. and while il is in
tended exclusively for the officers on
board. it is probable that in time the sail
ors may also be provided with similar
arrangement, if the necessary room can be
found.
Naval officers have always depended On
r.ore laundrie, and washerwomen to at
tend TO their laundry, and when on long
cruises much Inconvenience has been ex-
Derienced for Want Of proper facilities To
place the equipment on the vessels will
cost about $4,000 each, and to wo.k il men
will be especially enlisted.

Republican frauds are coming to
light in Louisville as the count pro-
gresses. In many precincts where
there were Republican clerks a bal
lot is found to be missing and Demo
Gratis are convinced that the Repub-
licans worked the "chaln system
to handle the purchasable voters.
This way to delraud is worked by
tearing two ballots out of the
book and handing them to a voter
The voter stamps one of the ballots
and returns it to the clerk; the other
ballot he folds up and carries out
side to the worker in waiting, who
stamps it with stencil in his pos
session and gives it to the next
voter, whose vote has been pur-
chased. This voter, as an evidence
of good faith, is required to bring
back the blank ballot handed him
by the clerk, casting as his vote the
ballot given him on the outside. In
this way the chain is worked from
the time the polls open until they
close

portion of the show is adequate
while the specialties are decidedly
the best ever seen here at a popular

The Carleton sisters whose names
did not appear on the bills, de-
lighted the audience with their
singing and dancing. The Pickert

1t is an unpleasant commentary
on the intelligence of the average
voter that after ten years of ex-
per1ence with the secret ballot,
nearly 300 out of the 5000 voters in
Christian county were unable to
stamp their ballots according to
law. Nearly $50 absolutely de-
stroyed their ballots, while almost
as many more marked, mutilated
and defaced them with blots and
blurs that made the officers, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike, hold
them to be void and meaningless.
The Republicans of course suffered
most from this lack of intelligence,
for the reason that the average Re
publican is intellectually inferior to
the average Democrat in Christian
county.
