NEW GRACE CHURCH,
Its Corner Stone Was Laid by Pres
ident Roosevelt.
VIII BE Ready for Occupancy on De-
cember 1-PnstOr Is One of the
Most Learned Men in
Washington.

Not only is the white house to be re-
modelled, but next season President
Roosevelt will worship in a brandnew
church. His pastor, Rev. John NJ.
Schick, D. D., is now building a new
Grace Memorial Reformed church,
which will be ready for occupancy on
December l, about the time that Pres
ident Roosevelt will begin the siren
uous business of the next season.
The corner stone of this church was
laid by President Roosevelt on July l.
1t is to be Gothic edifice of Cleveland
Lower Canaan gray stone, and will have
a seating capacity of about 600.
At present DR.. Schick has a congre-
cation of somewhat more than 200 COM
municants. The newspapers con-
stantly refer to this church as the
Dutch Reformed, but on this head and
others DR.. Schick pleasantly explains:
MY church is not the Dutch Re-
formed church, although many persons
prefer to mention it under thatdesig-
nation. Ours is the Grace Reformed

tional origin it is German. Our church
is differentiated from the Lutheran
churches in that its viyifying principle
is epublicanism, while Lutheranism
is the church of the princes and mon
archs. Our church took its origin in
Switzerland when the Monk Zwingle,
at Basic, proclaimed the republican,
ism of worship in opposition to the
monarchical and feudal tendency of
the Roman Catholics under the papal
monarch. We are Reformed Cath
olics. The Dutch Reformed, German
Reformed, Bohemian and Swiss
churches all use the same catechism
and have the same faith. The separa-
ton into nationalities came after the
church had been established, and has
little meaning. AS a matter of fact
we are older than Luther's church, be-
cause Zwingle had proclaimed his doc
trine of opposition to Roman mon

81 have been urged to erect a large
church, but have thought that the
structure now designed will be suffi-
cient to accommodate my flock. The
president is one of my communicates.
The new church has been under con-
sideration ever since the present mod
est edifice was completed. If after
we have completed the new one there
be sufficient money, we will remodel
the parsonage, so that the two struc-
lures may be harmonious in their
Gothic outlines. My congregation is
not a rich one, but | have not found it
difficult to collect the necessary funds,
about $4,000.
st has been said that we have beeh
largely helped by contributions from
sources outside the church. There
have been some such, but not enough
to detract from the enterprise of the
local congregation. Of course l must
refuse to divulge the contribution of
slider it seemly to enter into such de-
tails. My congregation consists of
sturdy Germans, Dutch and Huguenot
families of the District of Columbia
We hope to be established in our new
church about December L.
DR.. Schick is a gentleman of medium
size, with placid, kindly countenance
He is very learned, but at the same
time very charitable in his views. He
can discuss doctrinal disputes with
calm dignity and is thoroughly liked
by his dissenting brethren of the cloth.
He visits around among his flock and
is especially popular with the chill
dren. At the white house the pas
toral visits of DR.. Schick are gala
times for the children. He is the espe-
cial prey of Baby Quentin and Miss
Ethel. They rifle his pockets, make
him disgorge candies, ride on his knees
and interrupt his priestly admonitions
to their father with the license of af-
lection. DR.. Schick is the same genial,

blest of his congregation. He is fire.

Welt to participate in the Sunday night

President Roosevelt reserves for a

DR.. Schick is one of the local authori-
ties on all moot points concerning
the period of the reformation. His
historical reading is such that the
most learned divines of other church
es never contradict his assertions

THE PEOPLE OF ACRE.
lea in Dispute Between Bolivia
and Brazil,

The region of Acre, in northern Boz
livia, has been disputed territory be-
tween that country and Brazil for
nearly so years. The little country
has come into public notice recently
because Bolivia leased a part of the
Acre region to an Anglo-American
syndicate. Brazil objects to this
business arrangement, and has
threatened to break off diplomatic re-
lations unless the contract is re-
scinded.
Except that the country is rich
in rubber, little is known about it.

tween the boundaries of Brazil and

TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

The Ministerial association of Nun.

question.
The city council of Sherman, Tex,
on June ., withouta dissenting vote, all
members being present, passed reso-
luton instructing the chief of police
to enforce the law against open saloons
on Sunday.
The superintendent of one of the
western railways says: "Under no cir
cumstances will l hire man who
smokes cigarettes. He is as danger
Gus at the front end of a motor as
the man that drinks; in fact, he is
more dangerous. His nerves are
bound to give way at critical mo-
ment. A motorman needs his nerve
all the time, and cigarette smoker
cannot stand the strain"
In 1892 the Paris Figaro" a nom
temperance political paper, discussing
conditions in France, said: "Alcohol
is death to the race. Alcohol will kill
emperors as it has killed the native
tribes of every country of the world.
Alcohol means disease. tuberculosis,
decay, sterility, impotence; it is an
other word for wickedness, cruelty,
vice and insanity; it means misery and
the downfall of nations, and the best
way to prove patriotism and to be use

appeared so to me; and as a mother
there never was one better.
'After my father had been dead
about year somehow I acquired a
passion for hunting, fishing, and es-
pecially cooning. There was nothing
that delighted me so much as it did
to take my dog and go out with
some of the neighboring boys and
bring home a number of coons. One
night, three of our neighbors came
to our house after me. They thought
they had found a new place-a corn
field-where there was plenty of

1t was the evening after one of
the greatest battles of the rebellion
The surviving soldiers of the battle
were fatigued, and glad to drop
down almost anywhere to rest.
Those who had been on the reserve
were caring for the dead and wound
ed, and in the hospital tent those
who wore the blue, and those who
wore the gray, were groaning with
the wounds received in battle, and
were being treated by the union ply

and at such cost of human life!
On the right and on the left, in front
of them and in the rear, could be
seen the dead bodies, dressed in the
uniform of the friend and of the
foe.
They were just taking the coffee
from the fire when soldier came
up, and discovering that the dozen
men were of his company, said:

A few days since he received a letter

that his conscience had since troubled
him to such an extent that he wished
to replace the ring. He had sold the

COURTS LADY VILLIERS.

Favorite.

Lady Edith Villiers, one of tho
bright and shining stars of English
society, has, it is said, received a pro-
posal of marriage from Waldorf
Astor, the son of William Waldorf
Astor, who renowned his American
citizenship and became a British sub
ject. Lady Villiers is said to be hesi-

Lady Villiers, daughter of the
earl of Clarendon, was born February
20, 1877. Her father, who is lord
chamberlain of England, was born
in 1876. He married, in 1876, Caroline,
eldest daughter of the third earl of
Normanton. Lord Clarendon was

interpreted by the two countries is
the cause of the dispute. A traveller
recently returned from Acre says, in
the New York Tribune, of the ma
tives that they are in many respects
like the Bolivians, but that there are
among them tribes of a lower class
than can be found elsewhere in that
part of the world. Some of them
are said to be cannibals, and all are
shy and averse to the invasion of
their country by the whites. They
are experts in the art of using darts,
spears and javelins, and delight in
practicing with these from the bush
on intruders, whom they usually att
tack from behind.
They wear no clothes, but have
elaborate headdresses made of feath-
ers and beads, and the younger ones
wear strings of coins and metal disks
around their necks and wrists. There
are no horses or mules in Acre, and
the llama is used as the beast of bur-
den.

CRUSHED BY MONOPOLY.
Pawnbrokerage in France Is Entire
ly In the Hands of the
Government

A recent French trial shows how
monopoly works even in the pawn
broking business. The police authori-
ties brought suit in the eleventh cor
rectional court of Paris against a
group of persons who acted as agents
for various moneylenders and pawn
brokers established in London. The
action was in the interests of the Mont
de Piete de Paris, the French Pawn
broking association, which is a monop-
oily and under government supervisor,
says the New York Post. Persons de-
sirous of pledging their Jewels and
other valuables found that they could
obtain much better terms for loans
with well-known London firms than at
the state supervised establishments in
France, and, to meet the situation, a
number of agencies were created in
Paris, which undertook the business
of pledging the articles in England.
The Mont de Piete complained of this
competition, and their plea that it
was an infringement of their monop-
oily was upheld by the court. The de-
lShudhlS were FIN III uulHDeF. Two
were sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment and 10000 francs fine each
and the other four to fines of 80 1000
francs each. Another defendant. who
did not appear, was sentenced by de-
fault to two years Imprisonment and
5000 francs fine. The Mont de Piete
was awarded the franc damages which
it claimed as civil parties to the case.
The fines thus inflicted amount to
about 100000. 1t is understood that
some of the defendants are English
men.
