A sH1pwEcKED LIFE
Theme Discussed by DR.. Sturgis in
Sermon Delivered Last Night.

Rev. DR.. Frederick Duam Sturgfs, who
has been travelling and lecturing through
the south for several months. spoke last
evening In the Bethany Presbyterian
Church on "A Shipwrecked Life" The au-
dience room was well filed, and the con-
gregation listened to the address with in
terest. Selecting this passage of Scripture,
For whatsoever man soweth that shall
he also reap" as the basis of his thought,
Mr.. Sturgis said, in part:
'Is there galley slavery deeper than this
the bondage OF the soul? We bubble
about our belief in the doctrine of a he'll.
but listen, we are already touching the facts
of hereafter. The Bible reference to a fu-
ture Is contained in our condition today.
The kingdom passion or its opposite is in
your heart and mine here and now. and
what this old planet of ours needs is an
awakening to this fact, an awakening which
shall bring the Deity and eternity to earth.
do you know, my brother, that the worst
hell of all is degeneration; the lowering OF
our ideals; the coarsening of our feelings;
the weakening of our wills through vicious
courses; getting worse rather than better
In the school of life?
This is the yawning, open, provable hell,
with the lid off, that men should most
fear to face" exclaimed the speaker.
when man violates his sense of right;
when he goes back on himself, so to speak;
when, with reason paralyzed and faith
drugged. he surrenders his will and con-
science into the hands of evil God pity the
man, for anything Is preferable to the bis
tering consciousness of having insulted the
divinity of ones soul by entering within
the moonlit borderland of the satanic king
dom; through indulgence in the orgies of
sinful life. No wonder it drives men
the victims of paresis, and the morgues full
Of suicides"

CHARGES OF ASSAULT.
Albert Bush Fined for Striking His
Wife-Other Cases.

Albert Bush, a colored resident of Shott's
alley, was in the tolls at the Police Court
this morning because of complaint made
against him by his wife, Annie.
Mrs. Bush told the court that her hus-
band so far forgot himself last night as to
strike her on the head with wash basin.
Judge Kimball decided that Bush's con-
duct called for punishment which would
teach him a lesson. A fine of $40 was
thereupon imposed on him, with imprison-
ment for four months as the alternative.
Belle Washington and Jennie Harris, col
ored residents of South Washington, were
the principals in another case. Belle APP
peared in the role of defendant, being
charged with assault and battery on Jen-
ME. Judge Kimball after hearing the evil
dence decided that the charge was sus-
tanned, and assessed Belle $50. She was
given the privilege Of spending six months
behind the bars in default of payment.
Joshua White was fined $50, following his
conviction on charge Of assault filed on
complaint of his neighbor, Cornelius Ash
ton, who resides on Harris street south
west White will spend sixty days in Jail

object of Wagner in writing this soul

with both score and story, and his elucida-
ton IF themes were clear and convincing.
He showed not only reverence for the

Mr.. Damrosch was a worshper at the
shrine OF Wagner even he conveyed the
idea TO the audience that the composer was
a wurshiper of the Master whose sufferings
and death he sought to portray In music
and scenery and action. From Mr.. DAM

ing and instructive. even though 1t dealt
with the hottest things in religion. The ex-

spirit of the conductor and were enjoyable,

EXCESSIVE CHARGES.
Allegations Made Relative to Work
Done by Plumbers.

The District engineer department has
recently received a number Of complaints
from property owners relative to alleged
excessive charges made by Washington
plumbers for connecting houses with the
sewer mains. It is charged that the
plumbers have been taxing the owners of
property a considerable profit on the
back filling and repaving Of cuts made in
order to lay the pipes. which work is
done by laborers In the employ of the
District. In other words, it is claimed
that the property owners are required to
pay the plumbers profit on work done
by the District.
In connecting premises with sewer
mains the cuts are made, 1t Is stated, by
the plumber who lays the pipes and puts
in part Of the back filling. The District
engineer department is then notified OF
the location of the cut and workmen are
sent to the point to refill the cut and re-
lay the pavement. A bill for this work Is
then sent the plumber. It Is charged that
when the plumber renders his bill for the
work to the property owner he charges
the latter a considerable amount for re-
paving in excess Of the amount charged
by the District engineer department for
the work.
1t has been suggested by officials in the
engineer department that II the property
owners think they are being charged ex-
cessiye rates for repaving and refilling
they should call at the District building
and ascertain just what is charged by
the District for that particular item Of
work
1t Is believed probable that II upon In
vestigatfon 1t Is found that plumbers are
making profit on work done by the Dis
