PASTOR GIVEN CALL
REV. GEORGE A. MILLER Sue
CEEDS DIR. BAGBY.

Rev. George A. Miller. who has been the
pastor of the First Christian Church of
Covington, KY, during the past twelve
and a half years, filled the pulpit at the
Ninth Street Christian Church, m this city,
yesterday morning and also last night. AT
the evening service he preached on martyrs.
He said they had been called fools because
they gave up everything that would ap-
parently give them worldly happiness and
fame to devote their lives to Christ's work.
He referred to the historical events in the
lives of some of the martyrs of the early
church, and also to some of those of later
generations. Mr.. Miller so completely cap
tured the hearts of the congregation of
the Ninth Street Church that they held
business meeting at the conclusion of the
sermon and decided to call him as their
PASTOR at salary of 81, 500 per annum. and
also added a donation of 500 to pay for
the expense of moving his family from
Covington to Washington.
Rev. Miller is regarded gifted and
eloquent talker and earnest worker. The
members of the congregation are convinced
that he will be fully able to carry on the
work which Rev. DR.. Bagby began.

OYSTER DREDGING SEASON.
Masters of Vessels Have Difficulty in
Securing Crews.

The oyster dredging season on the Poto-
mac and other tributaries of Chesapeake
bay will open October Is, and a large fleet
of vessels lying at points on the river and
bay and in Baltimore harbor are being made
ready for the service. The great difficulty
the masters of the Chesapeake dredging
boats are having Is securing crews to man
their vessels. AS many as tWo-thirds of the
oyster dredging fleet at Baltimore are with
out crews. So stringent the new marine
laws regarding advancing pay to man as
an inducement to ship, that the owners
cannot do as they have done in the past, put
up the cash to buy prospective oystermen
clothing fit for winter service on Chesa-
peake bay, and afterward take the advance
money out of their pay, so the class of I'M
fortunates who would ship on an oyster
proper outfit for the work. Then, too, the
reputation of some Chesapeake oystermen in
regard to i'll treating members of the crews
has had the effect of preventing many pros
pective applicants from shipping in the oys-
ter service.
This condition of affairs has compelled a
large number of the masters of oyster
dredgers to equip their boats with small
gasoline power engines for service in hoist
ing and lowering the oyster dredges, and
there are fifteen or twenty boats now lying
at Baltimore on which the gasoline hoists
are being installed This machinery will
enable the vessel to do without half dozen
or more men, and, 1t is stated, may be a
solution of the labor problem in the oyster
dredging fleet.

CONDITIONS IN SOUTH.
Sermon by Colored Minister on Causes
of Disorder

Rev. S. G. Lampkins, pastor of the Tenth
Street Baptist Church, preached special
sermon yesterday to a large congrega-
ton. The sermon was in accordance with
the proclamation issued from New York
by Bishop Walters president of the Afro
American Council, setting aside yesterday
as day of prayer in all of the colored
churches for the betterment of conditions
in the south.
Rev. Lampkins said: Public sentiment
must rise UP in her might and condemn
the causes leading up to and the practice
Of lynch law in this country. The trouble
with the colored people is that we have
drifted too far away from old landmarks.
We are Eeglecting God; the house of
prayer. We cry today as jeremiah of old,
Stand In the way and inquire for the
old path and where is the good way and
walk ther EN-"
He reviewed the progress of the col
ored race especially in the south, saying
the south is where they were born and
where they will stay in spite Of opposi-
ton" He "rejoiced in the fact that the
apostle Of liberty, President Roosevelt"
is holding open the door of hope, and de-
claring that under the national govern
ment every man shall have a square
deal"

CORNERSTONE LAYING.
Large Crowd Present at Site OF Glen
Echo Church.


Several thousand persons were present at
the laying OF the cornerstone OF the new
Catholic church of Glen Echo yesterday.
The occasion was marked by impressive
ceremonies Very Rev. A. A. Curtis, vicar
general of the diocese of Baltimore, offici-
ated, assisted by Rev. James Mallen of st.
AIMS, Tenleytown: Father J. Brio, S. j., OF
Trinity Church, Georgetown: Rev. Father
w. Elliott of the Apostolic Mission House,
Brookland: Father T. P. Daley of Omaha;
Father Albert Nequequist, an Indian priest
of Oklahoma and Father NJ. T. Yingling.
S. T. L., pastor of the new church. The
music yesterday was rendered by a mixed
choir from Trinity Church. Georgetown. ~
The new church of st. Agnes will have
congregation whose members attended both
Trinity and st. AIMS churches, and, there
ish The church. when completed, will have
cost about $500. 1t is to be a one-story
frame structure with large auditorium.
Rev. Walter Elliott preceded his sermon
with the story of how the new church was
conceived. He said that two young girls
interested their fathers, and then Father
Mallen Of Tenleytown in the organization
Of Sunday school. which thrived immedi,
ately. The services were held in the hall
| at Glen Echo, but the congregation was
large and the need of more spacious quar-
ters was at once apparent. Impetus was
given the movement to build the new
church. and as result the cornerstone
was laid yesterday, exactly one year after
the two girls first moved for the establish
ment of the edfice.
The parish comprises all the terri
tory between Cabin John bridge on the
west, Tenleytown on the north and George
town on the east. 1t will save the parish
toner's going all the way to ST. Annie's or
to Trinity Church.
Father Yingling, who is the pastor of the
new parish made an eloquent appeal to the
members of his congregation for funds with
which to furnish the church, and the re-
Spouse was liberal. Mayor John Garrett
of Glen Echo has been closely identified
with the movement and success of the
venture.

Amer's Hussar Band.

The British Hussar Band Of Northumber
land, England, under the conductorship of
Lieut.. H. G. Amers, made its first appearance
in Washington at the Columbia Theater last
evening. There was hardly auditor who
did not realize and appreciate the superb
discipline, purpose and magnificent train
ing of the organization. 1t is doubtful If
the much over done overture from William
Tell'' was ever more superbly played in this
city by the brasses and winds than by this
band. The execution, expression and col
oring would have done credit to an orches-
ira. Miss Edith Serpell, the soloist of the
band. won her way with one or two very
attractive English melodies after the fash
ion of Nevin. AS encore she sang ditty
entitled My Treasure" which may we'll be
considered among the gems of me-
lodic and musical thought in contempt
raneous English music. 1t was the pleas
ant conceit of the evening and the entire
audience enthused over this number. The
finale of the concert was a cycle of some
songs and dances of Scotland by Godfrey.
The band a whole is organization of
superb technique and musical power and
will undoubtedly win it's way into public
favor on this side of the water.

reported to have disappeared. Thomas R.
McQuaide. chief of police of Pittsburg has
asked the local police to interest themselves
in the matter and to make a search. 1t is
thought by Mr.. Murphy's relatives that he
may have come to this city. Murphy, it is
stated in the letter to Maj. Sylvester, has
been suffering from nervous headaches
caused by trouble with his sight. The trou-
BILE, it is stated, was due to close applica-
ton to his newspaper and other work.
few weeks ago Murphy came to this
city with his wife on a short vacation for
rest, but he applied his energies to his news
paper work and one morning, Chief Nc
Quaide says, he found himself totally blind.
His sight was partly restored after he had
been given several days rest and he re-
turned home.
He went to the office of real estate firm
in New kensington last Monday and trans
acted some business, departing from the Of
flee about o'clock. He failed to return
home and nothing has since been seen of
him. Chief McQuaide suggests that Mr..
Murphy may have returned to this city.
