HISTORIC HOME
OF THE DEPEWS.
Awaiting Arrival Of the Sen
atOr and His Bride.
A STIR IN SOCIAL CIRCLES
Couple Expected to Present nm In
teresting Programme Of Enter
tninment-Residen Once Occu-
pied by Webster and Other Stntes-
men and Diplomats.

The anticipated arrival in this city OF
| Senator Depew and his highly accom-
plished and charming bride has created
| quite stir in the circles of the social
set of the Capital City, and has set them
| to conjecturing as to what smart surprises
will be offered to Washington society by
the new hostess during the season at the
historic mansion which the Senator from
New York has occupied since bis official
| duties made his stay in the Capital City
during the session a necessity.
A Historic Mansion.
The residence of Senator Depew is on
Fl Street. between Sixteenth Street and
Connecticut Avenue, and has an interest
ing history. 1t was built by the late Gov
| ernor Swami of Maryland. who was sue
| ceeded in its occupancy by Daniel Web
ster during the whole period when he
was Secretary of State and was waiting
! impatiently for his long delayed promo
tion.
There, after having engaged the old
Clarke house for Lord Ashburton, that
millionaire scion of the Barings, he delib-
erately lay in wait for that plenipoten-
tiary with series of dinners that would
nave astonished LuculIus," as Mr.. j. E.
Roessle. proprietor of the nearby Arling-
ton, expressed it.
Treaty Arranged Mt Dinner,
TIE great treaty which defined our Ca
madam boundary was settled in that same
mansion to which Senator Depew will
bring his bride, and the dinner which was
served went down in the history of AmerI-
can cookery with glory and pride American
deiicacies were served in American style:
Maine salmon, Massachusetts cod Con-
necticut shad. New Jersey oysters. Ken
lucky roast beef. Ohio prairie chickens
Illinois vension. Maryland softshell crabs
and terrapin. Delaware canvasbacks. and
Carolina rice birds were cooked end served
in fashion that made the British peer
wonder, and his claims on the shores of
Lake Champlain relax.
Webster was impecunious at this time.
and his friends lent him good deal of
money. 1t is said that just before one of
these swell dinners he telegraphed
friend in Boston: ''Send me 81 600 at once
Must give great banquet Monday" The
money was forwarded. When it was ul-
timately refunded. it is said Webster pro-
tested against the 20 per cent interest
charged.
Good Reason.
'But, you know" pleaded the usurer,
Il was not invited to the dinnerr Web
ster was very lavish in his expendi-
lures. and did more to set the fashion of
costly official entertainments than any
of his predecessors.
After Webster's death the house be-
came the property and was long the home
<.f NJ NI,. y, tlAv,
pist. During the civil war he rented it
to NJ. Montholon. the French Minister
to this Government, who kept up its
convivia1 reputation.
Awaiting Developments.
Since then the historic mansion has
been occupied by statesmen of more or
less renown, and now, since 1t is pre-
sided over by a beautiful and most ac-
ccmplshed hostess, Washington society
is eagerly awaiting developments

ALEXANDR0FF'S LOVE
LED HIM TO DESERT.
DEATH OR EXILE AWAITS HIM,
Supreme Court Held That He Must
BE Returned to Russia, but
He Has Fled the
Country.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 12--Leo Alexan-
droh, young Russian surgeon who came
to this city about two years ago with the
| crew sent over by the Russian Govern
ment to take charge Of the cruiser Variag.
which was then in course Of construction
at Cramps shipyard, and who several
months after his arrival in this CITY de-
serted his comrades to marry Young girl
with whom he had fallen in love. must
go back to the Russian service and face
the punishment which will be meted out
TO him as a deserter. That is the decision
OF the United States Supreme Court.
Legal Point Involved.
AlexandroH, 1t will be recalled was ar.
rested several days after his desertion,
but he fought lis arrest in the courts and
finally secured his freedom Judge Nc
Pherson, of the United States Circuit
Court decided that as the Variag was
not completed and not flying the Russian
Tag she did not belong to the Russian
navy. On those grounds Alexandroff could
not be deserter
Inc RUSSIAN Government, however car
ried the case TO the United States Court
OF Appeals. In the meantime Alexandroff
was released, under 5000 bail. pending the
decision of the higher court The bond
was furnished by the young surgeons s
sweetheart.
The Court Of Appeals rendered its de-
cision in favor of Alexandroff. two Judges
concurring and the third dissenting. Be-
cause of the latter's dissension the Rus
sian Government carried the case to the
United States Supreme Court While the
case was pending in this court the young
Russian married the girl for whose sake
he braved exile and death, and left the
city. 1t is presumed he went to Canada
Supreme Courts Decision.
Justice Brown, OF the Supreme Court
handed down the decision of the court
which holds that the variag was a war
ship from the moment she was launched; /;
that, accordingly, Aleyandroff was a de-
serter. and that under the treaty between
Russia and the United States he must be
delivered to the former Government
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Gray.
Harlan. and White dissented from this
opinion, holding that the variag was not
at that time 'warship' In the inter-
national sense.
The Supreme Courts decision makes
Alexandroff fugitive from justice, mas
much as he was only released on bail by
the United States Circuit Court II he is
in Canada the Russian Government will
have to appeal to England for her sub
ject, as he is out OF the jurisdiction OF
the United States.
1t is hardly likely that Alexandrof will
return to this country. His bail bond
will be forfeited, but that is a small mat
ter compared to his liberty and perhaps
his life Russia Furnishes deserters by
exiling them to the mines in Siberia.
Aiexandroff. however. committed another
offence Shortly after meeting the girl
in New York he decided to become an
American citizen and he SO declared his
intention before the proper court.

NEEDS OF THE CHURCH.
Rev. George T.. MnydweII Tells
what Is Required.

''The Church for the Times" was the
subject of an intensely interesting sermon
yesterday morning at Waugh Methodist
Episcopal Church. Third and a Streets
northeast, by the Rev. George E. Mayd-
well
The history and growth OF the church
was outlined in an interesting manner
DIR. Maydwell said that at the present
time there are 10000 churches and $50 900
ministers in America. He then discussed
al considerable length what the church OF
today needs to make its work successful
He said. in part:
.'The church for the times must be an
energetic church. II must grow con-
stantly to keep pace with modern ideas,
and must adapt itself to existing condi-
fions. When the inhabitants of this coun-
try lived in log houses it was perfectly
right and proper for them to worship in
log churches. But when frame houses
came into general use the log churches
had to go, and frame ones took their
places.
To-day. when we live in magnificent
stone and brick residences, it is no longer
time TO continue the worship OF God in
plain frame structures. The church must
be progressive. 1t must have its special
lists today, even as the business and pro-
fessional world has them.
Then. too, IL must have its attractive
features to interest the people of the
world and make membership in the church
real and attractive TO them. There must
be neat and lively religious publications
OF the sort that young people will read
with interest and not throw aside as be-
ing dull and dry. Benevolent societies and
missionaries are more and more becoming
necessities of the day"
An excellent song service was also rem
dered. In which both the choir and con-
gregation participated.

breaches AGAINST ICONOCLASM.
Rev. Wilbur l.. Davenport Bescechcs
McthOiists to Stop Its Growth.

Rev. Wilbur l.. Davenport Bescechcs -
Mcthodists to Stop Its Growth.
THE spirit of iconoclasm is becoming
altogether too prevalent in these days,
and We should rise up against it,
This was one of the expressions of Rev.
Wilbur l. Davidson, Secretary of the
American University. who preached at
st. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church.
Fifteenth and K Streets northwest, yes
terday morning.
DR.. Davidson chose his text from Prov
erbs, xxii2S: Remove not the ancient
landmark which thy fathers have set"
His sermon was conservative in tone. He
advanced the thought that a common er-
ror of our restless modern age was to
discard the great truths of antiquity for
no other reason than that they were old
He also pointed out that it had become
somewhat of a fad with certain classes to
affect a yeneration for ancient things and
forms of worship, to the neglect of tho
best in modern thought.
THE truth lies between these two eX-
tremes." he said. Because an error is
grey-headed is no reason to venerate it.
1t is still an error On the other hand, let
us treasure as rich legacy all the good
of the past
Speaking of the errors and failures of
the past as landmarks to steer by, he
said
"All true progress arises out of the
ashes of failure. The failures of the past
are the food on which we live and thrive
and grow.
The great truths of Immortality never
will, never can change. Their expression
may change. but the basic truths them
selves are as true today as they were at
the beginning.
This is one of the great advantages OF
Christianity over infdelity. Christianity
changes only in its modes of expression.
Infidelity is always changing in its es-
sential arguments
Dr. Davidson closed his address with an
appeal to Methodists to abide by the an
cient landmarks, which had made them
great as a church. He considered these
the doctrine of conversion, the prayer
meeting. the class meeting, and the con-
ference meeting.

CATHOLICS TO HAVE A HYMNAL.
Prominent Members of the Church
Now Engaged on the Work.

OF tnurcH
Vow Engaged on the Work.
The Rev. DR.. H. G. Ganss. who was re-
Gently appointed General Secretary of the
Catholic Indian Schools, with headquar-
ters in this city. in connection with Mon
signor Loughlin, an officer in the house
hold of Archbishop Ryan, Philadelphia.
and the Rev. Mr.. Henry, principal of the
Catholic High School of Philadelphia. is
engaged in the compiling and editing Of
the first official Catholic hymnal which
has ever been published.
America is practically the only country
in which the Catholics use such music.
and the desirability ofohaving an official
and uniform hymnal f5r use throughout
the United States has been considered
for some time past. The writing of the
words of the hymns will be in charge of
Monsignor Loughlip and Dr. Henry. while
most of the music will be composed by
DR.. Ganss, who is internationally known
because of his musical compositions.
Father Ganss has written five complete
masses, which have attracted attention
from composers of note.
His appointment to his new Office in
this city will not interfere with his work
on the hymnal, the completion of which
will yet require long time.
