FATHER AND SON QUARREL.
\ ParoIed Patient From 81. Eliza.
betI's Creafes n Disturbances

George Talbert, who has been a patient
at st. Eizabeth's Asylum for the Insane
for twenty years past, whose home is at
423 Ninth Street northwest and who
was yesterday paroled for twenty-four
hours from the institution, was ar
rested early this morning by Police
men Murphy. Thompson, and Simpson
and locked up at the First pre-
cinct station, because of a disturbance
and an attack on his son. Word was sent
to the asylum authorities, who will take
the prisoner back to that institution this
morning
According TO the police, who were sum
mOned to the Talbert home by cries for
help shortly after midnight, Talbert as
saulted his son John. 1t is said by Tai
bert that his son did not reach home
until a late hour and that he reproached
him. Talbert also claims that he was
attacked by the boy, who is about twenty
years old, and that the scuffle which fol-
lowed caused so much excitement that
his Son-in-laW, his daughter. and his wife
called the police to prevent further
trouble. A charge of suspicion of lnSdn-
ity was lodged against him. The authOri-
ties at ST. Elizabeth 5 requested that the
prisoner be closely watched, lest he do
himself bodily harm, when informed of

FELL TO HIS DEATH.
Dennis DrIscoH Dies From the RE
snIt of Injuries.

Dennis Driscoll, about thirty-seven
years Of age. died at his home Friday
night from internal hemorrhage The
malady was the result of an accident
which occurred while Driscoll was at
work Friday morning in the works of the
Washington Gaslight Company at the
foot of Twelfth Street southeast. CorO-
ner hewitt Investigated the case, because
the death certificate was refused for file
by the Health Office. a certificate of
accidental death was given last night.
At the gas works the Coroner learned
that Driscoll fell through an elevator
shaft, a distance Of ten feet, on the top
of a heavy car loaded with coal. 1t seems
that the unfortunate man was pushing
car Of coal along a single track to
place it on an elevator in order that it
might be hoisted to track above. Dris-
coll did not notice that the elevator was
not in place, and he pushed the car into
empty space and Immediately fell through
the shaft after it, He was rendered UNI
conscious by the fail. The injured man
was Immediately removed TO his home,
where his injuries resulted in his death.
Driscoll was married and leaves a
widow and several children. He lived at
1921 Canal Road, above Georgetown.

WOMEN as MISSIONARIES.
The sermon of the Rev. r. w. Moot
mt 81. PauEs Lutheran Church.

Womans work in the church was the
subject of an interesting discourse yes
terday morning by the Rev. F. W. Moot
at st. Paul's English Lutheran Church
The sermon covered the work of women
in the Advancement of the Christian re-
ligion from the time of Marys appearance
at the tomb of Christ, on the morning
of the resurrection. TO the present day,
when they are taking so prominent
part in carrying the Gospel to unbeliev-
ers in the mission fields. The subject of
the discourse was based on the text, John
xiv:S, She hath done what she could.
In the eye of the casual observer. the min
lister said nothing in these days is impress
sive except a something which is remark
ably remarkable. The observer. he said,
will see the king, the emperor or gov
ernor, but will leave unnoticed the great
masses which make up the nation The
many virtues of these millions, which
sparkle as the brightest things in nature,
are overlooked by the casual observer,
while the brightness of the crown of the
king is remembered
In the same way the victories won by
great admirals and generals are remem-
bered in history, while the bravery and
valor of the soldier and sailor are for
gotten. The world remembers and speaks
with love and reverence and devotion of
Paul. Augustine, and Luther, he con
tinued, and no one should attempt to take
away single jewel from the greatness
of these men, but there snould be some
recognition for the women who have done
so much for the advancement of the
Christian religion. Their names, he said,
are not chiseled in marble, but they have
done a great work. for which they are
to be admired, and not forgotten. Mary
did not do as much as John or endure as
much as Peter, but the Master said of
her, She hath done what she could
IL women have not done more in the
advancement of the Christian religion,
Mr. Moot said. 1t is because they had al
ways been held back by man before the
coming OF Christ. The work of women
in the extension of the church was re-
ferred to as an example of the willingness
of woman to sacrifice all for the ad-
vancement of the Christian faith. The
last century, he said, was one in which
the work of women in the church was
plainly demonstrated. Thousands of them
left comfortable homes, surrounded by
luXurieS. to go into the mission fields and
carry the Gospel to the heathens and saw
ages, encOuntering dangers OF all kinds,
but never once murmuring or turning
back from the task they had undertaken.
In the time of war they have always
shown the true extent of their Christian
character. and were ever ready to under
go any risk to comfort and minister to
the sick. wounded and dying. III work.
too, is in keeping with the command of
Christ, who said that the preaching of
the Gospel is not all that is necessary

REPLIES TO DR.. PARKHURST.
Colored Minister Attacks the New
York Divine's Statements.

DR.. Parkhursts sermon regarding the
negro question delivered in New York
City since the return of the eminent
divine from Southern trip, was the sub
ject of a discourse delivered yesterday
morning by the Rev. Geriah Lamkins,
pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist
Church. colored, of this city. The general
trend of MIR. Lamkins sermon was in OBJ
lection to DR. Parkhurst's utterances IN
connection with the statement that the
people of the South did not like the col
ored race and freely asserted that they
did not The speaker took the ground
that this statement was false, and was
the result of lamentable lack. of knowl-
edge of existing conditions on the part of
Dr. Parkhurst He said that the many
kindnesses and the great help rendered
the negro race by the people of the South
was sufficient proof that no settled hatred
existed.
In opening his discourse the Rev. Lam
kns said that DR.. Parkhurst made a
Southern trip recently and remained in
the Southern States for about nine days,
and then returned to New York, where he
said: The Southern white man dislikes
the negro and owns up to it, The white
man in the North ,dislikes the negro and
lies about it,
In regard to DIR. Parkhurst's $ statement
he said that it merely added To the con-
fusion of an already vexed question. He
said that the white people of the South
liked the colOred people because they had
always been faithful servants. He took
decided exception to DR. Parkhursts 5 as
sertion that NortheTners lied about their
feelings toward the negro. and held up as
evidence the fact that Charles Sumner,
Wendell Philips, Henry Ward Beecher,
William Lloyd Garrison and others were
true friends Of the colOTed race.
The Rev. Mr.. Lamkins said that the
disfranchsement of the negro was the
result Of his too close adherence to the
Republican party. He stated that the
Southern people had never thought the
negro should mix in politics, and that
when he persisted they adopted the more
practical method Of disfranchisement.
1t isn't the negro, but the Republican
party. which makes the South solid
said he. We are of the opinion. now
ever. that the negro should have little to
do with politics. What he wants to do is
to get money, buy lands. get homes. and
get something that the white man wants.
It's more his condition than his color
which makes him objectionable"
