Impressive Religious Services.
The Penn Avenue Baptist church is
passing through another season of spir-
itual quickening. The great congrega-
tions which attend the services have
more than Il passing interest in the
singing by the grand chorus choir and
the attractive services. Many are truly
seeking IL higher and better life. DR..
Pierce baptized twenty-nine persons by
immersion last Sunday, and at the even
ing meeting twenty-five others eX-
pressed a desire to live Christian lives.
The officers and members have cause
for rejoicing over the interest in this
historic church. which is a landmark in
the religious life of our city. The sing
ing of the old hymns at the evening
services is an interesting feature. Many
of these hymns are placed upon the
screen by the aid of powerful stere-
opticon, and the vast audience sings
from the illustrated hymn, without the
aid of the books.

IMPURITIES CONTINUE
IN GEORGETOWN GAS
Corporation Counsel Notified of Viola
ton of Law by Company.

Commissioner Macfarland today called
the attention of the Corporation Counsel
to the failure Of the Georgetown Gas
Light Company 10 furnish gas that was
free from impurities, despite the re
peated warnings OF the gas inspector.
During the past week the reports Of
the Inspector Of Gas Meters show that
sUlphurated hydrogen appeared in the
gas furnished by this company every day
from Friday, July Il, and that the In
spector notified the Georgetown Gas
Light Company daily, as required by
law. Of the violation Of the standard OF
gas purity, but without effect.
Mr.. Mcfarland called the attention
Of the Corporation Counsel to these re-
ports in connection with the provisions
In the act OF June 6, 1896. The act in
question reads
When the Illuminating gas supplied
by any company, person, or persons, in
the District Of Columbia shall at any
time be Of less Illuminating power or
Of less purity than according TO the
standard just heretofore given. 1t shall
be so reported by the Inspector Of Gas

said for each and every day during
which such violation shall continue;
Provided. however, that If Il shall ap
pear that such deviation from the above
named standard could not have been
prevented by ordinary care and pru-
dence, but was occasioned by some IN
ayoidable causes. then the said penalty

STATUS OF JUSTICES
LEFT TO COMPTROLLER
VIII Be Asked for Opinion
by Commissioners.
Mr.. MACFARLAND'S PLAN

The Comptroller Of the Treasury will
be asked for an opinion as to whether
there are at present any Justices Of the
peace legally in Office in the District OF
Columbia This action was determined
upon by Commissioner MacfarIand. IN
his recommendation to the Board Of
Commissioners Of the District he states
that inasmuch as the Supreme Court of
the United States has held that the gov
eminent of the District OF Columbia is
Tot a part Of the National Government,
he does not think that the Commission
ers had right to ask the Attorney Gen
eral for an opinion as they had been re-
quested to do.
The question as to the status OF the
justices OF the peace was raised by the
Auditor Of the District. Mr. J. T. Petty,
who, on July S requested that the At
torney General or the Comptroller Of the
Treasury be asked for an opinion as to
whether, in view of the act OF June 80,
1902, there are at present any justices
Of the peace legally II Office in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and If so. how many,
who ara said justices. and what salary
they are entitled to receive for their
services.
In his Endorsement upon the letter
Commissioner Mcfarland today wrote:

Treasury be asked for the opinion de-
sired By the Auditor of the District OF
Columbia in the incIosed letter. has
