BRENTWOOD

Six miles east of the Treasury De-
partment, on the Laurel-Washing-
ton Electric Railroad, is situated the
beautiful and prosperous village Of
Brentwood, Md. Brentwood has
quite an interesting history, being at
one time the property of Colonel
Bartlett, a veteran Of the Civil War.
Taking deep interest in the welfare
of the colored race, he decided to
sub-divide a part of his estate, COM
prising many acres, and sell to col
ored people at moderate prices, This
he did and formed the nucleus of
one of the most beautiful and desir-
able colored settlements in Mary
land.
1t has been, however, only within
the last few years that the village
has made such rapid growth along
civic, moral and religious lines and
attracted Statewide attention. 1t is
said that much of the recent phe-
nomenal growth along civic lines is

New Bed Covers.

Among the smartest of the new bed
covers are those of printed dimity or
French stamped damask. These are
made with border in gay colors to
match the wall decoration and on top
of the bed have large wreath or oval
Of flowers.
The covers are made long enough to
hang over the bed, almost to the floor
all around, and are drawn up over the
bolster roll.
Another good looking cover is in
cream colored embroidered net over a
figured damask in all over pattern.
The toning is soft ecru. This, too, is
brought over the roll that is used by
day.
Many women who have cotton
spreads patched by their grandmothers
are bringing them out in this day of
printed covers. This is only possible
when the coloring is harmonious, as

due to the untiring efforts of Mr.. w.
]. Connoway, who moved to the vii
lage about six years ago. He at
once organized the Citizens Asso-
citation, which had a station built
and lights placed in the dark places
and many other needed improve
ments made.
The village has gradually grown
from a few families to population
of between 800 and 500 inhabitants,
with town hall, two prosperous
churches, a very commodious school
building in course of construction
and many fine residences.
OF all the influences at work for
human development in Brentwood,
there is perhaps none more potent
than the First Baptist Church, under
the wise leadership of Rev. James L.
Jasper. The growth numerically,
spiritually and financially has been
almost marvellous. Being organized
with seven members in 1905 without
money, any place to worship or any
standing in the community, Rev.
Jasper would not allow small diff
culties to daunt him, so he called the
people together, and, like the phophet
of old, he said: "Let us reason to-
gether." He told them he was their
friend and he wanted to help them,
and if they would follow him they
would have a building in IL months.
The whole community responded as
if with but one voice. Soon the
tower of a beautiful and artistic
structure was seen pointing heaven
ward. So the First Baptist Church
of Brentwood, Md, had become
reality, with Rev. James l.. Jasper
as pastor; Mr.. Chas, McCaully,
deacon; Mr. Jas. Holmes, trustee;
Mrs. Jennette Brown, clerk; the
membership, consisting of Misses

powaoer Queen LOSING Interest,

Alexandra, the dowager queen Of
England, is said to have changed great
ly since the death Of King Edward. The
loss Of her husband, the falling away
Of the social interest that formerly
centered about her and the loss Of
prestige have hurt her greatly. She

that for years preserved its wonderful

Her deafness has become more marked,

and more within herself than formerly.
Years ago she was wonderfully viva
cious and light hearted. She was in
terested in outdoor sports, being a
skillful skater, an intrepid sewoman
and an enthusiastic follower of the
hounds. Despite the fact that after the
birth of the princess royal she was left
with an affection of the right knee
joint, she did not give up horseback
riding. Instead she learned to ride on
the other side. But all these things no
longer appeal to her. She is content to
take her airing in Il carriage OF take

Mary Brown, Millard Richardson,
Virginia Holmes, Messrs Henry
Newton and Ralph Richardson, were
added later. This church, which
had been constructed at cost of
about $I7oo, continued to grow in
every way till 1900, when it was
burned. This, however, was only a
temporary impeachment, for the ham
lners were soon telling that new
structure would soon be ready for
use, and as a result the present
house was dedicated, with commo-
dious seating capacity and all mod
ern improvements.
At this juncture seems to be an
opportune time to give a brief
sketch of Rev. Jasper's career.
Born in Fairfax county, Virginia,
his early life was spent Oh a farm.
Being reared and guided by Chris
tian parents, he was converted and
called to the ministry at an early age.
He at once joined the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church and became
an active member. Rev. Jasper has
held many positions Of honor and
trust. He was for a number of
years president of the District Sun
day-School Union, and did very eff
fective work as a missionary in the
courts and alleys of this city. He
was appointed in the postal service
in 1875. He has since gained the
confidence of his superiors and has
gradually gone up, rung by rung, till
he now occupies a position of great
responsibility, for which he draws
no mean salary.
Rev. Jasper has not been unmind-
full of the necessity of acquiring
some of this worlds goods, He is
the owner of beautiful residence on
18TH street also at Lanham, Nd, his
summer home, he has property esti-
mated variously at from $4,000 to
$4,000, besides other suburban
property.
Any account, however short, pur-
porting to tell of Rev. Jasper's sue
cess would be altogether uni just
without bare mention of his happy
marriage to Miss Annie Parker, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Parker of Fairfax county, from
which union has come nine children
| She has been his constant adviser,
directing his efforts to success and
consoling him in his adversities.
Rev. Jasper is a man of sterling
worth. AS a preacher he is forceful
logical and convincing. He is man
whom to know is to trust honor and
respect. His name is destined to be
inseparable from the history Of
