OLD SCHOONER WRECKED.
William Henry at Mercy Of Waves
Near Alexandria.

The old two-masted schooner William
Henry. owned and sailed by Capt Will
liam Skinner, has brought her last cargo
into port here. She lies upon the piles
Of an old wharf just north of Alexandria,
a wreck, abandoned, and left to destruc-
ton by the winds and storms. The old
schooner was long a trader to this point
and was here about a week ago with q
cargo OF wood from Mattawoman creek
After unloading she started back to Mat
tawoman for another cargo. In making
a tack off Alexandria she ran upon the
piles of an old coal wharf at the mouth
of what was formerly the Alexandria
and Georgetown canal, and hung there
The tide fell and the piles punched holes
into her hull. damaging 1t so badly as
to make the vessel not worth the cost of
floating her, and she has been left to her
fate.
Within the last day or two she has been
stripped of sails, rigging and all arti-
Giles of value, and abandoned by her
owner. Several times in recent years
efforts have been made to have q warn
ing buoy placed outside the old wharf,
the piles OF which are hidden below the
surface of the water, but without sue
cess. A number of vessels have run
upon the piles in the past two years and
been badly damaged several so badly
as not to be worth repairing after being
floated.

DEFENDS CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Rev. DR.. McCracken Speaks in the
National Theater.

Defending Christian Science as the true
religion of optimism and declaring that
It is not new or different from the funda-
mental belief of original Christianity,
Rev. Dr. William McCracken of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, adj
dressed more than 1900 persons at the
National Theater yesterday afternoon on
the principles of Christian Science.
Or McCracken said that emotionalism
had no part in the healing done by Chris
tian Scientists, but that in every cure the
benefcent result was based upon science
and upon an underlying conviction and
understand concerning spiritual facts.
1T is not possible to heal the sick by
Christian Science while believing that
disease proceeds from God, any more
than it is possible to reform the sinner
while believing that God IS the author of
sim said DIR. McCracken. NO one who
holds that evil is God-created can con-
isistently urge its destruction. But the
ibeneficent theology of Christian Science
exposing evil as an outlaw, without divine
authorization or God-created existence
places warrant in the hands of every
follower of Christ to expose sin and
sickness on sight. and condemn them to
oblivion as nOnentities.
Dr. McCracken was introduced to the
audience by Edward E Norwood
