C. Calhoun, John F. Webb, Moses Poor.
W. w. Seaton, Joseph Gale. Seth Hyatt,
William Thompson, Judge Cranch, and
John Purdy were the prominent con-
tributors to the new building.
Some Early Pastors.
After the Rev Mr.. Bullfnch left the
congregation, John G. Palfrey, of Boston,
became the pastor. The Rev. Mr.. Allen,
who was afterward a professor at Har-
ward; DR.. Orville Dewey, a relative Of
Admiral Dewey; the Rev. Edward Ever
EFT Hale. the Rev. Moncure D. Conway,
the Rev. William H. Charming, and the
Rev. Frederick NJ. Hinckley are other
pastors who preached in the old church
In 1862 there was split in the con-
gregation- The stronger part of the
body left the old building and held SER
vices In Willard's Hall. For years the
rival congregations were without regu-
lar pastors. They were reunited under
the Rev. Clay MacAulay, and in 1878
entered the new church ON Fourteenth
Street.
The old building at Sixth and D
Streets was sold to the District for S2e,
000 For years before 1873 the Police
Court had been in building just across
the street from the old church. and
since then it has been in the old church.
A cheap bell was substituted by the Dis
trict FOR the Revere bell which the Uni
tarians carried to their new building.
The auditorium was divided into court
rooms and offices and cells were built
at the east side of the structure for the
temporary accommodation of prisoners
Henry A. Willard was among the
prominent members of the Unitarian

body which left the old church and
worshiped In Wizards Hall and was
the chief subscriber to the fund for
united congregations. The cornerstone
for the Fourteenth Street church was
laid June %, 1877. by the Grard Lodge
of Masons of the District of Columbia.
A large choir under the leadership of
Prof. H. H. Bradley sang at the cere-
monies, and the Rev. Charles R. Welcli,
pastor of the Independent Church, Of
Baltimore. preached.
The Rev. R. R. Shipper succeeded the
NAMED with the congregation for four
teen years. The Rev. e. Bradford Leav-
lit was the next pastor and left Wash
ington to accept large San Francisco
church. He was succeeded by the Rev.
U. S. B. Pierce, the present pastor.
Proud of the Old Bell.
Ali Souls Church is especially proud
of its historic bell, and has its belfry
open to visitors who desire to see the
product of the famous Revere foundry
The old bell tolled at the death of Lin
coin. When President Garfeld's death
was announced Henry A. Willard climb
ed TO the steeple of All Souls and
awakened the city which had been ex-
pecting the sad announcement for sc
many weeks The bell also tolled for
President Mckinley.
For nearly seventy years 1t has served
the residents of the Capital. 1t has pro
claimed messages of Joy and sorrow
longer than any other bell in the Dis
trict, still its tone is unimpaired and II
remains an honor to the famous New
England bell founder.

upon the baronet, than whom no man
was more prompt to attack others.
There is something in most men that
drives them TO relish taste now and
then of this sort of bandinage. President
Cleveland never had more enjoyment in
his public career than On the night OF
his roasting by the Philadelphia Glover
Club. The most important men in polit-
ical and official life, with few exceptions,
have reveled in frozen broilings by the
Gridiron Club of Washington. Such as
are invited to dine with these organiZa-
lions and escape without roasting go
home in deep disappointment. Every
guest expects to receive the honor of
sound gridding, and to be deprived of it
Injuries his self-esteem, as he is bound to
feel that he has been neglected owing to
his lack of Importance.
The only theatrical performer admit
ted regularly to the Beefsteak Club at
the Theatre Royal, Dublin. was Mrs.
Margaret Wellington. Singularly enough,
actors were the animation and zest Of
all other beefsteak societies. 1t is
needless TO remark that this female
member was our old friend Peg Voting

The Dublin Beefsteakers.
Garrick, who was and is more or less
associated with Peg, belonged to the
Steaks. Somewhere there are a hat

Remove the actors and newspaper men

VI Where hundreds of men
and women prominent In the
nation and the District, once raised
their voices in praise of God. hundreds
of men and women who have forgotten
the teachings of the Man of Galilee
today beg for mercy.
The District Police Court was former
" one OF the best known churches in
Washington. 1t was the center about
which the New England colony in this
city gathered to perpetuate the Unitar-
ian teachings so dear to Bostonians.
Pews which were formerly occupied by
John c. Calhoun, Daniel Webster, John
Quincy Adams, and Willard Fillmore,
now serve as the mourners' bench for
unfortunates who know no home but
the workhouse.
Judge Kimball now sits where the Rev.
Edward Everett Hale preached his first
sermon, the pulpit which was frequent
ly occupied by the Rev. Samuel Long
fellow, brother of the famous poet.
All Souls Church brought Washington
and Boston closer together. Harvard's
brightest men came here as the guests
OF the New England colony, and preach
ed in the church fashioned after the
Boston models.
,la= Tolled for John Brown.
The New England conscience was
transplanted to that section of Washing
ton surrounding the Police Court build
ing. Louisiana Avenue was a sort of
Beacon Street. Abolition doctrines thriv-
ed there, and the bell in All Souls
Church was the only one in Washington
which tolled for the death Of John
Brown.
=uThis historic bell was cast in the Re-
we're foundry, near Boston, and pre-
scented TO the Washington church by
Bostonians- For years it was rung for
fires and on gala occasions. 1t served as
sort OF town bell for Washington uu-
til after ii rang for John Brown. This
offended many Southern sympathizers.
and the bell was no longer in demand.
When the Unitarians deserted their
old church at Sixth and Streets, they
moved the bell to the new church at
Fourteenth and L Streets. 1t is still in
bells in the District.

w THAT is the record number OF
NV pounds of beefsteak man
can eat in a contest? Au-
thorities differ. It has been said thai
Isaac Fromme had the record at 11A
pounds, 1919 pounds, and 10 pounds.
Little Bobbie" Van Wyck, New York's
doughty mayor. is said to be equal to
ten pounds any evening. Hundreds of
men have eaten as much as six pounds
at sitting and felt none the worse.
II really is no difficult feat to eat FIVE
pounds of good steak. The slice of bread
served with each cut of steak ct beef
steak dinner usually is thrown aside in
these contests. and very little beer or
Rhine wine is drunk. as liquid is filling
The only other article OF food offered is
celery. and only a moroccan of that is
taken.
The contestants never starye them
selves beforehand. but live their regular
life until the beginning of the feed To
have the body empty of food is counting
certain defeat Owing to some inexplic-
able law of physiology the starveling
cannot take as much into his stomach
as the well fed.
Beefsteak Suppers Popular
Beefsteak suppers continue TO grow In
popularity. Rarely Is a new restaurant
built without its dungeons. Some have
two or three of different sizes. for large
and small companies. Even private
houses have dungeons, where nocturnal
carousals, drunken revelries. feasts of
Dionysius and Bacchus, with maenadic
and bachantic riyalries. are diversions OF
swell society. 1t is said that there are
three women in the fashionable whirl in
New York whose capacities for steak
would put a Tammany politician to
blush. And they do not remove their
eorsets until the feast is ended.
Thus far we have never had Beef

deInolishing steaks there is legion. The

Immortals regard themselves as the

no doubt they are.
The Gridironers are not in any sense
gourmands, but in other respects they
favor the Steaks" of their great-great-
great grandfathers. The ablest trench
erman of the Steaks" was the Duke
of Norfolk, who used TO eat his fish
at neighboring restaurant and his
beef at the society's- AS the clock
struck 5 curtain drew up, discov-

The steaks themselves are n the fin

in deyouring them. Two or three, fra
grant from the gridiron, vanished. and
when his labors were thought to be over
ne might be seen rubbing clean plate
with a shalot for the reception of an
other.
A pause of ten minutes ensued, and
the duke rested upon his knife and fork.
He was waiting for a steak from the
middle of the rump Of beef. where
