RIPS RIVAL SLEEPS ON
Aged Han Fails to Awaken Despite
Medical Aid.

To ali outward appearances a rival Of
Rip Van Wrinkle in his big sleep stunt.
S ]. Telfair. who took a trip to the Land
Of Nod some time Saturday, and forgot
to get a return ticket. is still asleep at
the Emergency Hospital. where he was
removed last night from the Alexandra
County jail
Efforts OF physicians to bring him to-
have been unavailing. and his case has
created a great deal of wonder among
the doctors of the hospital.
Telfair. who appears 20 be about sew
enty years old, was found asleep on the
platform of the Spring street station. on
the Arlington and Falls Church cleo
trio line. about midnight Saturday. He
was taken TO the Alexandria County Jail.
and yesterday. when he showed no signs
of leaving Sunderland. II was deemed
imperative to send him to the hospital for
treatment
In the pockets OF the sleeping ones
coat was found a card showing that he
had stopped at the Rescue Home. in Mis-
souri, avenue northwest, from February
IS to March 4 inclusive.
He left that place on the morning of
March 4. and since then nothing was
heard of him until he was found asleep
by a motorman of the owl car Satur-
day.
Nourishment is being administered Tel
fair while he sleeps, but he seems to re-
gard this formality as merely incidental
TO short rest, for even the attractions
of food do not awaken him.

FORMS OF COMMUNION.
Rev. DR.. William It. Russell Ex-
nInin Rites of Catholic Church.

Why Holy Communion in the Catholic
church is administered In the form of
bread without the wine was explained
by Rev. DR.. William T. Russell at St.
Patrick's Church yesterday morning. in a
sermon on '"The sacrifice and the sacra-
ment."
DR.. Russell said:
IN the sacrifice of the mass it is nee
esssry that we should have two forms
to suggest the separation which took
place Of the body and blood of Jesus
Christ on Mount Calvary, but in order
that we may receive the body and blood
Of Jesus Christ as it is. under either
form. wholly and entire, II is not neces-
sary that We should receive both forms.
But 1t is necessary for the sacrifice of
the mass that there should be two forms
10 suggest the death Of Christ on Cal
vary
Furthermore, in receiving Holy Com
munion we receive. not the dead body
of Jesus Christ or His lifeIess blood. We
receive Him living. and we cannot, there
fore. separate His body from His blood.
one from the other We must In receiv-
ing the one necessarily receive the other
We must in receiving the body of Christ
necessarily receive His blood, because il
is the living and not the dead Christ
who gives himself to u.s.

The friends discussed the discovery for
several minutes before Herbert happened
to glance UP in the branches OF the will

Hey. friend! Did you drop this pistol?"
shouted Denny TO the body above. There
was no response. Several times Denny
and Herbert called to what appeared TO
be a sleeping man in the limbs OF the
tree, but no answer came.
Boys Find Body.
THAT fellow is either dead or lead
drunk, said Herbert as he began to
climb to the limb on which the body
rested A few minutes passed. while the
climber pulled and blew from the exer-
ton, and then he called TO his companion:
He's dead
Herbert had seen the red stains on

fed. Difficulty was experienced in re-
moving the body from the tree, but the
work was accomplished by several agile
policemen.
The body was removed to the morgue.
There we're no marks OF identification on
the clothing. Detectives ODea and
Evans were detailed to investigate the
case. They learned that the pistol had
been sold several days ago by a merchant

mayer had been employed there. He had a
quarrel with the foreman on Saturday
night and left the establishment with the
threat that he would commit suicide.
Little attention was given his words.
officials Of the company did not know
where Berkenmayer resided. The de-
scription of the body at the morgue coin
cided with that OF Berkenmayer.
Police officials who knew Berkenmayer

He decided to blow his brains out with
a revolver. and while alone in his room
at his boarding house he placed the
weapon to his temple and fired. The

Total $1,000.

Fire of mysterious origin, starting in
the storeroom Of the Walker Hill dairy
depot. $50 Seventh street southeast, yes
terday morning, caused damage esti-
mated at $1,000. The loss is said TO be
covered by insurance.
Workmen and several companies of
firemen battled with the flames for more
than an hour before the fire was ex-
tinguished. It was shortly before II
o'clock when W. A. Simpson, proprietor
of the dairy. went to the second floor
OF the building and discovered the fire.
In the storeroom were hundreds Of dol
lars worth of patent milk bottle stop
pers, crates for bottles hundreds of bot
ties, and other supplies. Simpson saw
the flames were eating through the parti-
ton and he ordered an alarm sounded.
Calling the workmen upstairs, Simpson
directed the work of fighting the flames
until the arrival Of firemen. It was after
noon before the last spark had been
stamped out. An investigation by fire
officials failed to reveal the cause OF, the
fire.
