THEFTS OF BICYCLES.
Unusual Activity of the Rogues Re-
ported to Police Department.

There has been renewed activity on the
part Of bicycle thieves during the last two
months. it is said, and hardly day passes
without report being made of loss by theft
Of six or seven wheels. The police are of
the opinion that If the offenders are given
the extreme penalty of eleven months and
twenty -nine days in jail when arrested and
carried into the Police Court there would
not be so many bicycles stolen.
Thomas A. Lee, who resides at 2211
Washington circle. was the victim of a
bicycle thief Monday last, his wheel, VAL
ued at $50, being taken from in front Of his
residence. The loss was reported to the
police, and Precinct Detective Lynch, who
was assigned to the case, learned that the
wheel had been disposed of in Alexandria
and visit was made to the Virginia town.
where the bicycle was found at a bicycle
store.
The proprietor of the store said it had
been brought to him by a colored boy from
this city, who traded it for another ma
chine, and as a result of a description
which was given to the officer Theodore
Brooks, colored, nineteen years old, who
was released from the reform school in
July last, was arrested in Georgetown Sat-
urday night. He pleaded guilty when ar
raigned before Judge Kimball of the Po-
lice Court this morning, and will spend the
next six months in jail unless fine of 500,
which Judge Kimball imposed, Is paid.

DECIDED NOT TO ORGANIZE.
Methodists Of Mt. Pleasant Postpone
Formation Of Church.

The Methodists of Mount Pleasant held
meeting last Saturday evening In the
parlors of the Savoy apartment house, at
14th and Binney streets, for the purpose of
making arrangements looking toward the
organization of a Methodist Church in that
vicinity. Rev. Dr. H. r. Naylor, presiding
elder of Washington district presided, and
Mr.. Frank E. Warning acted as secretary
The report of the executive committee was
received and plans for the organization
were discussed. 1t was decided to rent the
hall over the new post office building on
Park street near 14th street, where the
Sunday school, which was organized last
winter, will hold sessions, and where
preaching services will be held 1t was
thought impracticable at this time to or
ganize church but it is understood that
one will be established by the opening of
the next conference year, about the LIST
of April.
1t is stated that nearly all the Metho-
dists living in the vicinity of Mount Pleas
ant are affiliated with other churches of
that denomination in the city, and until all
arrangements have been made and sufficient
funds have been secured for erecting new

to form a church society. but the pulpit
will be supplied at stated intervals.

the board Of bishops petitioning the erec-
ton OF a memorial church was read by Mr..
r. H. Hit, chairman of the ways and
means committee He stated that there
was no Methodist church nearer than St.
Pauls, on 18th and r streets. At former
meeting of the Methodists Of Mount Pleas
ant 1t was proposed that lease be secured
on the abandoned church edifice on Howard
avenue near 14th street. but this proposition
was not favorably considered at the meet
ing Saturday night.
The committee selected by the chair to rent
the post Office hail and make further ar
rangements for holding religious services
is composed as follows: Messrs J. r. Hit.
jr., F. E. Waring. George Simmons, r. d.

fairs of the present." General Dyrenforth
says, The will not only command recog-
milton as an American citizen, but draw at
tention to the Importance of according to
him reward for his incomparably great
services to our beloved country"
The assertion Is made that there is now
vociferous demand in the newspapers
that pensions shall be cut off, and in this
connection General Dyrenforth sets out the
necessity of organization, saying, For them

of mere partisan politics only for those who
are the practical friends OF the veterans.
the veterans will be a tremendous force:
they will be a political power that can
not be overlooked"
