AT THE LITTLE CAPITOL
The Mystery of the Lost Blanket.

The District health department is in
need of the services of a Sherlock Holmes
to unravel THE Mystery of the Lost
Blanket" The health departments neces-
sty is plainly suggested in several official
documents now before the Commissioners,
telling in detail the story of the elusive
WOODEN coverlet and the fruitless efforts of
the department to locate it. Failure to
solve this mystery will cost the District
the sum of 81 or less.
An affidavit signed by a lady residing in
Anacostia sets forth that she was at one
time the owner of a wooden blanket, and
that when her young son was taken by
the health authorities to a local hospital
to be cured of diphtheria, several months
ago, the blanket in question was wrapped
about him. A few weeks thereafter the
boy was returned to his home, safe and
sound, but the blanket which had accom-
panied him to the hospital and had shielded
him from the cold during the long watches
of the night failed to return with the lad.
The owner thereupon called the attention
of the health officer to the matter and re-
quested either the return of the blanket or
the sum of 81 in lieu thereof.
After a diligent search of several weeks
the health officer finally reports that he is
convinced that the blanket was lost by
some employee of the department, but he
cannot definitely fix the responsibility. The
authorities traced the blanket to the disin-
fecting station, but there all trace of it
ends and their further efforts are baffled.
Whether the blanket, as 1t hung full of
germs upon the line, was whisked away
to parts unknown by the wintry blasts, the
authorities cannot say. Whether some en-
vious person became afflicted with klepto-
mania at sight of the blanket and annexed
it to his personal possessions, they cannot
say; nor do they venture even suggestion
At any rate it has disappeared. On that
point there is degree of certainty, and the

Music While You Wait.

An interesting incident in connection with
the preliminaries for the Gridiron Club S
anniversary banquet occurred at the Dis
trict building recently, and furnished
amusement for number of persons who
did not have the privilege of attending the
function. Several days prior TO the BAN
quet number of District officials and citi-
zens We're waiting in Commissioner Vests
reception room for their respective turns
for interviews with the Commissioner. The
waiting officials and citizens were shortly
Joined by two members of Congress, who
asked if Commissioner West was in. Pri-
vate Secretary Wilson said that Mr.. West
was in all right, but that he was then en-
gagged and would the gentlemen take seats
for moment. The congressman sat down
and all was quiet in the reception room
save for the clicking of Mr.. Wilson's busy
typewriter. The group of visitors sat gazing
abstractedly at the toes of their shoes, the
figures on the wall paper and other things,
as is usually the case when person is
cooling his heels in the outer office.
Presently the waiting group ceased their
abSent-minded musings andgaVe attention
to a voice, evidently located in Mr.. Vests
private room, merrily and musicaIly hum
ming the strains of Nesting in New York
Tree The occupants of the reception room
looked at each other wonderingly and then
gaZed at the swinging door leading to the
Commissioners private office, for without
doubt the musical sounds emanated from
that room. The humming soon ceased, and
quietness again reigned, while the visitors
'tsat engaged in guessing, yet no syllable
expressing the reason for merry harmony
in the Commissioners office.
Before the visitors had discovered any
cogent reason for the humming, however,
they were even more amazed presently to
hear the vigorous and spirited whistling of
popular song in the Commissioners pri-
vate office. Again the members of Congress

It has been said that the history of a
country Is the history of its religious life.
Whether this be true or not, 1t cannot be
gainsaid that the church in modern times
has played large part in the growth of
the civilized countries of the world-a larger
part, probably, than any other factor. 1t is
true that the church history Of a commu-
nifty follows very closely the general his
tory of events and is intimately associated
with its development along upward lines.
Washington is no exception to this rule.
From the earliest days of the capitals ex-
istence it has had important churches.
They have continued to grow in power and
to subdivide, until today the city has more
beautiful church buildings than almost any
other city in the land, and is attracting the
attention of all religious denominations as
place for centering their work. This bids
fair to go still farther, so that some day the
city will have the finest cathedrals in the
country and the best religious educational
institutions, and be the headquarters of
practically every denomination or sect.
The long and varied history of the Dis
trict of Columbia as seen by the growth of
its churches is interesting in the extreme.
Today many old landmarks remain to re-
mind one of the beginnings of things-of
the struggles that every church has in Or
cure the prosperity of it's future. The great
difficulties experienced by local churches
during the civil war, when their buildings
were used wholesale for hospitals and mag
azines, is still another story about which
a whole chapter could be written. Not
few local congregations barely came
through this period with their existence, so
broken to pieces were they by the draft on
their numbers for soldiers and forced alb
sence from services.
Old st. Patrick's Church.
There are a number of church organiza-
tons that have been celebrating in recent
years their fiftieth and seventy-ffth ami
versaries, and st. Patrick's Catholic parish
not long ago commemorated its 10th ami
versary. But probably no church in this
vicinity-it is not in the District, though
very near by-has the long record enjoyed
by the Hyattsville Presbyterian Church, a
record of over 200 years The cradle of
Presbyteriansm in the District of Column
bia," it has been called And, indeed it
is generally looked upon by church his
torians as the cradle of this section of
the organizations which in the early days
were identified with the so-called dis
senterS' " movement, and brought their
ideas across the wide Atlantic to the colo

This church was born in Upper Marlboro
Prince George county, Md, in November
200 years ago This is according to court
records in Upper Marlboro, which show
among other things that the church held
property at that time. In the year Ills, on
account of some changes in membership
and for other reasons, the congregation
moved to Bladensburg, Md, a short dis
lance beyond the District line. In fact, the
location of this second structure might
have been for practical purposes in the Dis
trict. For years a large congregation wor-

conditions, social and religious, of Wash

"An the temptations. associations and
influences. both for good and evil, which
center in the capital of other nations, are
beginning to show themselves in the life of
the capital of the United States.
During the nineteenth century Wash
ington was preserved from these dangers
for a manifest reason. Unlike London,
Paris, Berlin or Rome, it was not a city to
which the government came, but one which
the government itself created. All through
the last century 1t grew with the growth
of that government. Its moral and social
atmosphere came from the breath of our
American life. in which religious associa-
tons were intermingled. Its social at
mosphere was marked by simplicity Of life
