Richmond Opens.

The RIchmonders opened the fireworks
in lively shape, with the first ball
pitched, which Crawford lined out for
one OF the p.cttiest dri.cs Of the local
season. He caught one OF Reese's curves
squarcly and smashed out a sizzling line
drive TO right center field. the ball roll
ing almost to the distant fence, Craw-
ford unfortunately fell while turning
for second base. and the time lost pre-
vented his scoring home run on the
drive. AS 1t was he is credited with a
clean three Dagger. which evoked wild
applause. Knghtly worked Reese for a
base. but Ford and Shaw went down.
Bache's failure to handle .shaughnessys
hot boundcr allowed knightly to score,
Crawford having already counted.
In the fourth inning Jones led off with.
a double after one man had gone out.
He scored on Taylors error and a field
er's choice Barton Heights got In the
game In the fifth inning. Booker walked
and Triton took first on a fieder's
choice by which Booker had been retired
at second. At this critical moment
Bachc landed on one of Shaw's swift
ones, driving red hot liner at the
pitcher. which he DETECTED. but was UNI
able to stop, the drive scoring as a
base hit and counting Triton.
Crnwford's error and Taylor's single
to right allowed Bache to score. Shaw
settled down then and famed the next
batter and Reese went out on drive
to Shaughnessy.

Meeting of Association Held Last
Night.

The Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
ton met last evening in regular session at
its hall on Hamilton road, where a large
number of citizens of the community gath
cred to discuss local. matters of interest.
Mr.. o. A. Emmons, the president, was the

row, the assistant to the Engineer Comm's-
siGner of the District, who. in response to
request of the association for Information.
W1ote that property owners under the law

ton of applying the information received

committee appointed to take. up the mat
ter of sewers for Congress Heights with
the District authorities. The committee,

toll was introduced by President Emmons
lie devoted some time in an address before
the association in regard to local needs and
tue best way to have them looked after.

SALVATION THE THEME.
DR.. Thomas Chalmers Easton breaches
at Assembly's Church

To an audience that filled every. pew in
the church, Rev. Thomas Chalmers Easton
of the Etstern Presbyterian Church
preached sermon at the Assemblys
church last night on the subject of ..salva-
ton" 1t was the ninth in the series of
evangelistic services being held in the
Assembly's Church. DR.. Easton spoke
from the text What must I do to be
saved?" Among other things he said:
MANY questions agitating the public
mind today. Will Russia finally conquer
Japan? Is Thomas Lawson likely to break
up the trusts and syndicates by his expose
of their methods? Is the struggle between
capital and labor in this country, and more
especially in Russia to result in bringing
in the universal reign of brotherhood and
the ushering in of the millennium? These
are only a few of the important questions
which we have to consider; but more i'm
portant and more vital to mans welfare
here and hereafter is the question of the
teXt-'What must l do to be saVed?' 1t
is the one great question which takes in
the whole sweep of time and eternity.
What is salvation? 1t is an historical
fact which has its origin in God. Back
the prophets, back of all Jewish ritual
and sacrifice, back of even Eden and it's
guilty pair, there was love for man in
the heart of God, and from the beginning
it has never ceased to be part of history.
THE resurrection of Christ is also an
historical fact, but it is an appeal to hu-
man intellect. The crucifixon of Christ
is Gods appeal to the heart. If men are
not conquered by the blood of Christ they
will never be conquered"
In conclusion Dr. Easton declared that
salvation is the constant progress of the
soul toward perfection. Man is adjusted
to God, learns of His ways and wishes, and
when the end of life comes finds that SAL
walton is eternal
The preacher this evening will be Rev
Joseph T. Kelly of the Fourth Presbyte-
rian Church.

EVIDENCE OF INSANITY.
Belief Expressed That Jeremiah Dono-
van Will Become Demented,

1t is feared by the physician and guards
at the Jail that jeremiah Donovan, who is
being held for the alleged murder of his
wife, Elizabeth Donovan, will lose his
mind. The prisoner has lost his appetite,
and his conduct is that of man whose
mind may be affected. During the time he
in custody of the police he had but
little to say except when questioned, and
then his answers showed nothing to indi-
cate that his mind was anything but
normal
When placed under arrest at Providence
Hospital by Detectives Baur and Hartigan
he had not fully recovered from the effects
of the liquor in which he had INDUCED. He
was trifie nervous and his memory was
not the best. He was able to transact
business however, and signed checks for
several hundred dollars Since reaching the
prison he seems to imagine he is being per-
secuted and that some people are trying to
take his life. He thinks the police and his
prosecutors are after him all the time,
and spends many sleepless hours watch
ing them. DR.. Shute, the Jail physician,
has him under close observation, and will
probably report his condition to the court
later in the week unless there is a change
in him for the better

COMPLAINS OF BLASTING.
Attention Called toEWork on Munich
pal Bnildfng Site.

The blasting on the site of the new mu-
nicipal building In connection with the ex-
cavation for the foundation constitutes
source of complaint tGrMr. Andrew b. Gra-
ham, whose business establishment is To-
Gated across the sstreet from the District
building, at 412 To 4f8 14th street. In a
communication received by the Commits
sioners from Mr.. Graham today the writer
intimates that unless the Commissioners do
something to betterts the conditions the
courts may be asked TO intervene.
Mr.. Graham states that the contractor on
the work employs heavy charges of explos-
ives in blasting out the immense stones
formerly used in the foundations of the old
power house. AS result of the large
charges, the writer says that stones weigh
ing five and six pounds are thrown across
14th street against the Graham building.
Yesterday. 1t is declared, stone weighing
half pound was blown through a window
on the third floor, scattering the glass all
over Mergenthaler machine. The oper-
ator escaped injury only by being away
from his machine at the time.
In addition to the danger from flying
stones, said to beooccasioned by the blast
ing, Mr.. Graham declares that the shocks
from the explosions are of such force that
his building is shaken and he fears that
permanent injury may result to the struc-
ture Il appeal to the Commissioners for
a cessation of this annoyance" says Mr..
Graham, rather than take the matter into
the courts and stop the operations"
Capt Chester Harding, supervisor of con-
struction of the municipal building, stated
today that the blasting is almost finished
but that he will Immediately investigate the
Their annoyance to business men in the vi
cinty.

Religious Instruction in the Schools

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Concerning the pi CrCsed teaching of re-
ligion in the public schools, there is one
thing / have not seen mentioned by either
of the opposing parties. In secular studies
pupils are allowed to be as critical and in
quisitive for information as they may wish.
They cannot ask too many questions about
arithmetic, geography, etc. The teachers as
a rule like to have them do this it en-
ables them to demonstrate and make plain
whatever may seem obscure, and If, per-
chance, the pupil of an inquiring mind is
able to show that some error had gotten
in the text books, it would be welcomed
this spirit of criticism extend to that also?
Would the pupil be allowed to ask the rea-
son for the divine authority of the bible
the existence of God, what real knowledge
we possess of Him, etc? Then to examine
those reasons and point out wherein they
might be thought faulty or illogical, or would
Ii be required that the religious part of the
school curriculum be taken on faith and
without question, as is the usual custom
among religious people, and thus division
be made between what could and could not
be questioned?
Personally l think nothing should be
taught in the schools except what is capable
of demonstration and l would not object to
religion then If it be treated the same as
other studies and given no special privi-
eyes. l ask for information on this point.
