Gospel Army Incorporated.

The Gospel Army, new religious organf-
zation, which was described exclusively in
The Sunday Star, was Incorporated yester-
day under the laws of the District of Co.
lumbia. General William E. Mobley, the
commander-in-chief who is now in Wash
tngton, announces that he will soon begin
a crusade among the women In the dis
reputable locality south of Pennsylvania
avenue.
Steps are being taken, 1t is said, to rent
a hall In Washington's "tenderloin" sec
ton, In which it is proposed to conduct a
fall and winter campaign against vice in
its very lair" one Of the workers ex-
pressed it. Efforts are now being made to
raise funds for this purpose.
1t will probably be some time before the
army will have enough to pay the first
months rent. A gift of 100 seats has been
made by friend of the army.
The plan Of crusade Is, SO said General
Mobley last night, "one of love and char
ity. We feel that we can do more by gen.
tie words and persuasion than by any other
way. When we are located we will start
a house-to-house crusade wherever we can
get foot inside door and obtain a hear
ing. We will try to get the girls out Of
these places and put them in some rescue
home, where they will be taken care Of
We will do all we can for the fallen man
the young man or boy who is just COM
mencing his downward course. We will
make fight against the devil, sin and vice
in all their forms.''

Anacostia and Vicinity.

When the shooting season opens next
Friday 1t is regarded as certain that excel
lent sport will be obtained by the gunners
close to Anacostia. The marshes in the
vicinity Of the bridge and lining the shore
contain many blackbirds and ortolan even
now, and their cries mingle with the sounds
of the work as 1t progresses on the new
bridge construction. Some shooting has
been going on about the marshes already,
though it has not been proven game birds
were being sought, and at the sound of the
shotgun numbers of the birds named have
risen from their feeding places in large
numbers.
Two events are being arranged for Labor
day in which people living here have par
ticular interest and which are annual af-
fairs that always attact many persons from
this section. They are the Labor day pic
mic and dinner at the German Orphan Asy-
lum, on Good Hope road, Anacostia, and
the tournament that will be held at Suit
land Park, under the auspices of st. 1g-
natius Church at Oxon HILL Prince George
county, Nd, which church is served by the
priests of ST. Teresa's. at Anacostia.

TRIP OF THE MIDDIES
THE MONITORS RETURN TO AN
NAPoLIS.

The monitors Florida, Arkansas and Ne
yada departed from the Washington navy
yard at an early hour this morning, to car
nv the first class of midshipmen back to the
Naval Academy at Annapolis and bring
to an end the summer cruise of 1905. The
cruise has been one of the most successful
in the history of the corps Of midshipmen
and the course OF instruction that has been
carried out to the letter is regarded as one
of the most thorough, when the time de-
voted to 1t is considered, that could be de-
vised.
The two days spent In the navy yard here
were designed to give the midshipmen
hasty glance at the Intricate system of ma
chinery by means of which the heavy pieces
of ordnance used in the navy are manufac-
tured, and during the limited time at their
disposal. the cadets gave their entire atten-
ton to the details of the shop work, as ex-
planned by the officers in charge. Capt.
Pendleton, superintendent of the naval gun
factory, and his assistants, Commander
Beatty, Lieut. Commander Hayward and
Lieuts Gise, Fullinwider Muslin. McNeely
and Turpin, together with the foremen and
master mechanics in each of the shops,
placed themselves entirely at the disposal
of the midshipmen and their instructors
and every section of the works was visited
and explained.
The inspection ended yesterday afternoon
at O clock and the midshipmen were given
permission to bathe in the great tank used
as model experimental basin. After the
bath the young men were granted leave or
absence until midnight and many of them
visited the local theaters.
The monitors were prepared for the re-
turn to Annapolis last night and drew away
from the docks at an early hour this morn
ing. They will reach Annapolis tonight or
tomorrow morning and the midshipmen will
be landed The monitors will then proceed
down the bay and out through the capes
and Will join the remainder of the coast
squadron at Provincetown, Mass, where
they will have preliminary target practice
for a month. About November 1 the ships
will go to the League Island navy yard at
Philadelphia, where they will be thoroughly
overha and. after repairs are all made,
will proceed south to Pensacola, Fla, where
the North Atlantic fleet will be assembled
for its regular winter target practice.
The first class at the Naval Academy, on
reaching Annapolis tomorrow, will be
granted leave of absence for a month and
will not be expected to resume academic
studies until October /.

A bill of uniform interest is presented
at Chases Theater this week. 1t Is headed
by the August Family, who perform some
of the cleverest Juggling feats even seen
in this city. Leipzig won much applause
with his slight-of-hand work, and his ex-
planation of how 1t is done" furnished
part of the amusement. Lulu and Bennett
Mitchell, called THE Human Tops" gave
the American whirlwind dance, and George
B. Snyder and Harry Buckley pleased the
audience with their musical satire. Stuart,
1.-The Male Patti appeared in costly gowns
and displayed a remarkable soprano voice.
The BellatZer sisters, who performed on the
swinging rirgs and the trapeze, have an
important place on the bill. AL. Lawrence
entertained with his mimicry. The Ameri-
can vitagraph presented comedy motion
pictures of What Happened to Jones'" in
which the diversion of animated letters
was introduced in part explanation of the
story of the unfortunate mans mishaps.

Charged with putting out the eye of
William II. Butler, Allen Sims was ar
raigned in the Police Court this morning.
He pleaded not guiltyNto the charge and
waived examination. He was held for the
action of the grand jury, and the bond in
the case was fixed at 81 900, in default of
which he was committed to Jail this after
noon.
The trouble, which resulted in the loss of
an eye by Butler, occurred some days ago

to see him, and they Were enjoying them
selves, when Butler complained of their
noise. This reused the fury of Sims, and
he demanded of Butler what he had to do
with 1t. Soon after, 1t is alleged by the
police, Sims threw a bottle at Butler which
put out the others eye. Complaint was
made to the police. and Officer Mccormick
of the Anacostia precinct station arrested
Sims.
