Now just a line-the press agent for
the show says this is a true. true story
and not a press agent yarn at all.
He says that every time the show
gets headed straight for Washington
the stork gets busy and there is a
larger menagerie than there was be-
fore. This is fact-this city has that
effect on the menagerie. One of the
new arrivals, born on the train en-
route to the National Capital. is a
young camel-all legs-and the exact
image Of his mother. The other four
arrivals are what the girls would call
the "darlingest little tigers you ever
saw.

MAY CONTINUE ASPASTOR
DIR. POWERS RETIREMENT NOT
YET SETTLED.
Will Resume Active Charge of Yer
mont Avenue Church if
Health Permits.

Rev Dr. Frederick D. Power, pastor OF
the Vermont Avenue Christian Church,
who Is convalescing from illness at New
port News, Va. will not be made pas
tor emeritus until it becomes certain
that he will not be able to resume his
work here. declared Andrew Wilson,
chairman Of the official board Of the
church today. in discussing the question
of the veteran clergyman's probable re-
tirement.
Or Power became ill in October and
has not been able to resume his duties
as pastor said Mr. Wilson. lie was
given leave of absence until May I, and
at the semi-annual business meeting his
leave was extended to the autumn. Rev.
L. E. Murray has been acting pastor
since the last Sunday in October. The
church authorized the board of officers to
supply tho pulpit temporarily A special
committee was appointed on pulpit sup
ply. The committee requested Mr.. Muir
ray to continue as acting pastor until
the LIST Of October next.
Mr.. Murray stated that he would be
pleased to remain until July l. 1910, and
have his service for the church terminate
at that time. The arrangement was
thereupon continued until July l.
''Dr. Power is now at Newport News
and his health is improving. He is great
ly loved by the members of his church,
and as long as there is possibility of
his return to the active pastorate no ar
rangement will be made further than for
a temporary supply If DR.. Power should
be able to partially resume his work in
the autumn an assistant will be provided
for him. 1t is hoped that he may yet
serve his people many years. There has
been suggestion that he be made pas
tor emeritus upon a reasonable salary.
That will not be done. however, until it
becomes certain that he will not be able
to resume the pastorate. 1t is equally
certain that the church viii make ade-
quate provision for him and will not per-
nit him to sever his relationship with it.
The church will probably not meet in
general business session until the first
Thursday in October. In the meantime
the board of officers will provide tenn
porary supply, but have no authority to
extend call to the pastorate.'
