Warning Buoy Established.

The lighthouse authorities have at last
decided to put a warning buoy on the edge
of the shoal water channel abreast of the
naval magazine wharf, about half way be-
tween this city and Alexandria. 1t is re-
garding this buoy that the controversy oc-
CURED between the steamboat men of the
city and Commander McCrea, the lighthouse
inspector in charge of the District
Several months ago a petition was sent
to Commander McCrea, signed by nearly
every steamboat master and vessel owner
in the harbor asking for the establishment
of buoyS on the eastern channel bank he
tween Shepherds and the old fertilizer ia O.
tory. Captain McCrea in his reply stated
that he did not see the necessity for buoys
at the points named and he declined to
grant the request.
The petitioners continued the fight and
every time vessel went ashore near the
magazine it was brought to Captain Nc
Crea's attention either by sending him a
marked copy of The Star containing men,
ton of it or by letter. Persistency won out
and yesterday afternoon the lighthouse
tender Maple came up the river and towed
the buoy into position.
The new mark Is a red spar and is To-
Gated on the edge of the shoal water about
a hundred feet south of the magazine wharf
and about where the greater number of
vessels run aground.

Theme Of the Discourse.
DIR. Dunbar took for his text the verse.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, behold I
lay in Zion for foundation stone, tried
stone, a precious corner stone, sure foun-
dation;" Isaiah. 1916. DR.. Dunbar said the
practice of laying corner stones had a
symbolic meaning from the earliest times,
as the imperishable expression of the inten-
ton of the builders.
This ceremony he said, means moth
ing for ST. Marks congregation unless 1t is
type of their faith in God and Of their
intention to glorify Him. The tried stone
that is the sure foundation Of the church
is Jesus Christ, and the stone Is laid III
Zion. which is the church. This stone.
tried by centuries of persecution, precious
because the only sure one sure founda-
ton because 1t alone will stand all buffet
ings, Is the corner of every Christian life.
Mr. Bowers, formerly pastor of ST.
Marks, spoke The Meaning, Message
and Mission of the Corner Stone 1t means
progress for st. Marks congregation, he
said and a renewing of the vows of Its
people for zeal In church work. Its mes
sage Is to declare belief in the Bible, In
God and in the Lutheran Church; pro-
test for liberty Of thought, and yet pro-
test against any deviation from the simple
rule of life laid down by Christ. And its
mission is to teach the Christian life, loving
all men, but never forgetting the special
privileges and, therefore, the special duties
of those to whom Christ speaks through His
church.

practically destroyed. The effects on the
first floor of this house were also saved,

WITH THE ANGLERS.
Fishing in the Potomac Said to Be Very
Good Just Now.

Fishing in the Potomac Said to Be Very
Good Just Now.
Maj. Sylvester, who is the District game
warden. has received reports which indi-
cate that there has been big improve
ment in bass fishing since the change in
the weather. 1t is the opinion Of anglers
that their bad luck this season has not been
due to a scarcity Of fish, but because small
fish were plentiful in the river and the
bass were able to get plenty to eat without
noticing the occasional bait thrown into
the water by the angler. This is the sea-
son. the game warden says, when bass
fishing should be at its best. Not many
fish have been taken from the water during
the past year, and the small fish are grad
ually disappearing. Then, too, the water is
In fine condition.
An angler in conversation with a Star re-
porter said it was mistake to go so far
away from home to catch bass. Such fish,
he said. are just as plentiful between
Georgetown and the Great Falls as they
are at points further up the river. Capt.
Boardman and Precinct Detective Bur-
rows of Georgetown spent two days on the
river at Dickerson's this week, but did not
get any large fish.
Anglers who are satisfied with catching
other fish are enjoying some sport. Some
time ago 1t was thought that the refuse
from the gas works in Southeast Wash
ington had put end to fishing In the
Eastern branch, but lately anglers have
been catching white and yellow perch O
few rock and hundreds of catfish. 1t is
also stated that some success has been
had by anglers fishing for rock and yellow
perch in the deep water near the entrance
to Four-mile Rum Live bait is used with
more success than any other bait. In the
creeks along the lower Potomac plymouth
bass are plentiful and many perch are also
being caught
