that 1t referred to real estate deals.
The enactment is to make the law

information that Mr.. Moffat has Sc
cured the money necessary to extend
the line to Salt Lake and that work
is to be started in the near future.
At his home on York street last even
ing. he said:
Il am in a position to say that Mr.
Moffat has secured all the money re-
quired for the work to Salt Lake. This
has been done through his business as
sociations in the East and in Europe.
He has been able to do this and yet
retain control Of the corporation. 1t
will remain absolutely an Independent

from entanglements In every way. that
1t may be operated In the interest OF
Denver and Colorado"
How does he secure this money, by
the sale Of bonds, or stock!" was
asked.
Il cannot answer that" was the re-
ply. "Mr. Moffat will be here on
Thursday and perhaps he will give the
details Of his business transactions in
that respect, but am not free to do
So"
When can the work be expected to
start?" was asked.
Il cannot give a-date, because it is
impossible, but 1t will be very soon.
We have large force working now, as
the public knows. extending the line to
Hot Sulphur Springs, and this will
take some time. 1t may be necessary
to get this well in hand first. I do not
apprehend. however, that 1t will take
a great deal of time to do the prelim-
mary work and to let the bids"
Mr. Jones came home directly from

PRIZE FIGHTER IS
TAUGHT TO PRAY

A tall, broad-shouldered man stood on
the outskirts of crowd of people that had
assembled at Pennsylvania avenue and Sth
street one night a few days ago to hear the
songs and preaching by the Gospel Army
soldiers. The big man, who was more than
six feet in height and very muscular, wore
a leering smile on his face.
Commander Mowbry had just concluded
a fervent prayer and Evangelist James NJ.
Little was leading in singing an inspiring
gospel song, when the gigantic man was
seen to elbow his way further into the
crowd.
He listened attentively to the music and
testimonies and the leerng smile faded from
his face. Finally as the meeting warmed
up" the big fellow pressed to the very GEN.
ter of the group and went down on his knees
on the roadway.
The Gospel Army men prayed with him,
and finally he arose and addressing the as
semblage said he was d prize fighter.
Il came into this crowd to ridicule these
Christians and fight them, If need be- he
said But, friends something has gotten
into my heart and l feel like fighting for
God and the right"
The big man shouted "Hallelujah.' and
said he was going to return to his deserted
family in nearby state, adding that he had
left home and friends 10 go on deoauch,
but since attending the street meeting his
eyes had been opened in a fifty and in the
future he intended to lead an upright life

REGARDED AS ACT OF CHARITY
Yet Capt. Boardman Was Called to
Task for It,

Capt. Boardman, chief of the detective
corps, received letter from the charities
organization of St. Louis a few days ago
in which he was taken to task for per-
forming what he thought was an act of
charity One day about three weeks ago
the captain was seated In his office at po-
Mce headquarters when a cripple called
upon him and asked for assistance. With
the unfortunate man was a resident of this
city who had volunteered to assist him in
an effort to reach st. Louis.
The story of the cripple was such that
the police captain felt he would have TO
do something for him. There was not
much he could do In an official way with
out referring the case to the board of
charities, and he concluded he would deal
with the cripple Independently of his du-
ties az official of the police department
II was, therefore, as plain Mr. Boardman
that he sought a personal friend and got
cheap transportation for the applicant for
charity, Even then the cripple was short
OF the amount of cash necessary to pay
for the ticket and the charitable police
captain went down In his own pocket and
made up the difference, With railroad
ticket and food enough TO last him a day
or two, the appreciative man was placed
aboard a train and started west,
That he reached there safe and sound is
shown by the letter that was received from
the charities organization later, The CON
tents of the letter formed a complaint
against the captain for dumping Wash

OLD CHURCH
LONG SINCE ABANDONED


A pamphlet was recently circulated in
Leesburg, Va. stating that lease on the
old Northern Methodist Church in that
town had been procured and that for two
or three hundred dollars it could be put
in a condition to be used as hall for the
Choral Society's and other entertainments.
Any one who was interested in the pro-
ject had the privilege of donating as large
an amount as he wished toward the re-
quired sum. But the people of the town in
stead of being interested, were scandalized,
and the contemplated plan was not long in
being abandoned.
This is only one instance of many. how
ever, in which the old church has been
treated with disrespect. The boys of the
public school. which is in the neighborhood
of the church, have amused themselves by
putting out every pane of glass in the
building, breaking up the woodwork and
furniture, knocking down the plasterfng
from the walls and otherwise demolishing
the structure; while the girls have showed
their irreverence by celebrating mock mar
riages, funerals, sermons and even offering
make believe" prayers in the old building.
All of this dissertation has taken place In
utter disregard of the Scriptural text which
is inscribed above the quaint old pulpit:
Thou God Seest Me- One would think
that these words wDuld place some restraint
upon the young vandals, but II they ever

REMEDY FOR NATIONAL
EVILS IS IN HEAVEN

Rev. Timothy J. Brosnan of Woodstock.

giving service at ST. .Aloysius' Church. and
his remarks were listened to with more
than ordinary interest. Father Brosnan is
a Washing tonian having been reared with
in the parish of ST. Aloysius, and since
identifying himself with the Society of
Jesus he has won an enviable reputation as
an orator and writer. He is frequent
contributor to Catholic periodicals.

fixed day of thanksgiving to God for his
benefits and mercies. 1t may or may not
be true that this day set aside as a day of
gratitude has lost the fneness of its re-
ligious significance. 1t Is in any case a
public and national recognition of Him who
holds all nations in the hollow of His

Ruler.

LIFTING OF THE
CATHEDRAL DEBT

Bishop Henry Y Satterlee of the Protest
ant Episcopal diocese of Washington has
sent a letter to each rector of an Episcopal
parish In this city announcing the lifting of
the debt on the foundation of the cathedral
of S. Peter and Paul, at ST. Adams, D. c..
The communication is dated on Thanks
giving day and reads:
Reverend and Dear Brother: I know
that you and your parish, as well as the
whole diocese, will rejoice with me when l
announce to you that every dollar of the
mortgage upon the property of the Wash
ington Cathedral has been paid, and that
the cathedral foundation stands on this
Thanksgiving day without dollar of debt.
when we remember that the cathedral
land was bought on September Z, 1898, and
that since that dag, in order to give 1t
frontage on the streets on all sides, It was
found necessary to buy nine acres of land;
that the whole cathedral property, with
the buildings, improvements and endow-
ments, is now worth SS72 032.67, and that
altogether in that ttme-seven years-over
100000 has been contributed to the cathe-
dral foundation. the result seems almost

Dominic IS WHIPPED.
Sensational Lashing in Pennsylvania
Town by Butcher.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CHESTER, Pa, December 2-The resi-
dents of Marcus Hook are today discussing
the sensational whipping which occurred
in that town this morning in which Rev.
r. NJ Doherty, rector of St. Martins p.
F. Church, and Albert HILL the welI-known
butcher We're the principals. The whip
ping took place on the post road, and was
witnessed by a number OF residents, for IL
caused considerable excitement in that
vicinity.
The clergyman, from all accounts, got the
worst of the argument, and his face bears
several bruises as result of the salteS-
cation. AT the time of the trouble Mr.. Do
herty was coming up the post road seated
OF a small load of hay. Mr.. Hill was stand
ing in Marshalrs blacksmith shop, and as
the minister approached walked out into
the middle of the road with the intention
of interviewing the rector regarding some
alleged differences in relation to Mr.. Hills
lot in st. Martins cemetery.
AS the preacher drew near, it is alleged
that the butcher signaled to him to stop.
saying that he wanted to speak to him for a
few minutes. Mr.. Doherty, according to
Mr.. HIS statement refused to stop his
team, but cracked Mr.. Hill over the back
with his whip. This action the part

immediately looked about for something
with which to protect himself. Find ng
nothing, he went back TO the wagon and
grabbing Mr.. Doherty's whip pulled 1t
from his hands and refined blow after blow
upon the minister. The first crack that
Mr.. Hill gave him knocked the ministe's
Ia. off, and the remainder of the lashes
fell upon his head and face.
For almost a square the enraged butcher
dashed his opponent, and as the team
rounded the corner at 10th and Market
streets Mr.. Hill returned the whip to Mr..
Doherty and went back to the blacksmith
shop, where he was having enc of his
horses shod. When seen Mr.. Hill made
the following statement regarding the un-
fortunate occurrence:
MY little daughter Jennie IS buried in
St Martins cemetery, and frequently when
my wife has visited the grave she has been
accosted by hr. Doherty, who has at times
insulted her. He has been making things
unpleasant for the lot owners in the cemo-
terry for some time past and his latest
move in our case came right recently. when
he informed my wife that she must leave
the gate leading to our lot unlocked. This
order he has repeated several times, but
we have paid no attention TO 1t and have
locked the gate usual upon leaving
the grave. This action on the part of
the minister over the final resting place
of our beloved daughter greatly dspieased
me. and ] on more than one occasion viz

Valiant Evangelist Of the Homeward


tie without God in the world" The
church calls them unbe1ievers.
But there is another class of believers
to which we specially refer. 1t is the men
and women who do not only accept at full
value and doctrinal truths and ethical
principles of Christianity, but they make
profession of religion, attend the church,
partake of the communion, support the
cause of religion and may even claim to
have been converted. But there is no no
ticeable change in their lives. They are
greedy and covetous. They are shrewd IN
business to the point of questionable trans
actions. They engage in dishonest politics,
quarrel with their fellow members of the
church and frequently obstruct the work OF
the minister opposing measures which
might interfere with their ambitions or
their practices They seek pleasures IN
worldliness and dangerous amusements
They do not take an active interest in any
thing religious or moral that will add to the
exte. sion of the kingdom of Christ, or the
upbuildng of Christian character
Their theory is all right. Their practice
Is mostly wrong. They believe, in that
they do not deny the fundamental prin-
ciple of religion, but they do not believe
in any such sense as makes it possible for
the grace of God to affect their conduct,
purify their hearts or change their lives.
The profession and the practice do not
harmonic They are not ,epistles of Christ
known and read of all men, as loyal to the
Master in whom they believe. 1t is the
faith without works and it is dead
What God would do in them If their faith
and their practice harmonized is hindered
nv the wrongs and inconsistencies of their
conduct What an awakening there will be
for them at the last, Deluded by their own
infirmitles. deceived by their inexcusable
follies. they will awake one day to hear the
Master say:
Il never knew you. You professed enough,
but you possessed nothing that God can
recognize Depart from me, we worker of
iniquity.'
I pray to God that we may not deceive
ourselves in what constitutes devout,
faithful Christian, and that we may believe
what we experience through the divine
power of God.

saw them the effect was certainly never

This old church is one OF the most ancient
and most interesting buildings In America,
1t is surrounded by an old. old graveyard,
where some of Leesburg's most distinguish
ed citizens are buried Some of the graves
are more than a century old, ana ii has
been many years since the last was made.
1t was long ago that the mounds are
now completely covered with honeysuckle
vines, ivy and weeds. and many of the
marble slabs are broken and fallen down,
and some have completely disappeared
The Old church itself was built nearly a
hundred and twenty-five years ago Its
centennial was celebrates with much pomp
and ceremony in 1885 The ground on
which 1t was erected was bought from
Nicholas Minor by Samuel Murray, who
donated 1t to the Baltimore Methodist Epis-
copal conference. The latter, which was
ton in America, built the church which
now stands.
1t is a long stone structure, and is espe-
cally quaint the interior. Wide gal
leries extend around three sides, and the
pulpit is that old-fashioned kind which
is now almost extinct. 1t is very high and
is on the order of the one in Christ Church
in Alexandria, Va.
