TRIBUTE TO THE. MEMORY
OF EPISCOPAL PRELATE
Chance1 at St. Thomas Church,
Groom, Nd, Named for
Bishop Clagett.
Special Correspondence of Tho Star.


HYATTSVILLE. Md,
September IS, 1911.
An important event in the history of
st. Thomas Episcopal Church, located at
Groom, Prince Georges county took place
yesterday. when ground was broken for
the Bishop CIagett memorial chancel.
1t is the purpose that in constructing the
chancel as well as a new choir and vestry
room old st. Thomas Church is not
to be disturbed, but will remain exactly
as 1t was in 1870. when it was built by
Rev. John Diversified, an uncle Of Bishop
Clagett.
Bishop Murray in Charge.
The ceremonies yesterday were largely
attended. many persons being present
from Washington and Baltimore. Rt.
Rev. John Gardner Murray Bishop of
Maryland preached the sermon and cele-
brated the holy communion The
bishops discourse was particularly inter-
esting from an historic viewpoint, the
life of Bishop Ciagett being depicted in
the minutest detail. Appropriate and
special music was rendered.
Because of the national interest taken
in the life of Bishop Clagett. who was
the third bishop consecrated in America,
much of the money to be used in renovat-
ing old ST. Thomas will come from the
outside. and it is expected that fully
5000 will be donated for the work. The
work will be started at once. and it is
the hope of Rev Henry G.. Parkman,
rector of st. Thomas. that the first
service in the practically new edifice will
be held December p, ST. Thomas day
in the church calendar.
Consecrated 119 Years Ago.
September II 10 years ago Bishop
Clagett was consecrated a bishop of
America, the ceremony taking place in
Trinity Church. New York. He was
assigned to Maryland Immediately after
the conservation. The bishop was born
at Whites Landing, not far from Groom
and after becoming bishop went to
Groom, where he lived most Of his life.
While bishop he became rector of old st.
PauPs parish, Of which Groom was a
part, with ST. Thomas as it's chapel
In 1851 st. Thomas became a separate
and Independent church and parish.

True Consistency.

A prominent Chicago Sunday school worker and club woman went into one of the Michigan avenue china studios to make some purchases. After ex- amining different pieces on one table the customer turned to the artist and said: T think I will take everything that is on the table. But what Is this jar for? I never saw anything just like it before" pointing to one done in pearl lusters, about four inches high and having a futed cover.
 That is potpourri jar" answered the artist.
 "Oh, is it?" she queried, then she turned to the artist and said in de cided manner, "I will take everything but that, and l have always made a point never to buy or have thing to do with anything pertaining to poker"

HOTELS GREAT PIPE ORGAN
Largest Musical Instrument of the Kind in America Is in the
 Astor, New York.

The Hotel Astor, in New YorA. boasts the largest pipe organ in the United States and one of the largest in the world. A pipe organ is an in novation in hotel fixtures. and as such is of more than usual interest.
 The great organ represents all or chestral instruments. and it's many speaking stops, nearly 100, make the tonal resources of the instrument al most inexhaustible. It is divided into four distinct divisions, the main or gan occupying two chambers on the east and west sides of the ball room. The other two divisions are arranged on either side of ''L'Orangerie" room. Completely hidden from view by the decorations of the walls and ceilings, the music comes as a surprise.
 The pipes, varying from 32 feet in length to only fraction of an inch, are hundreds of feet away from the playing cabinet containing the keys and stops, and each one is operated by its individual train of electro-pneu- matic action. The pressure of key gives current to a wire that finds its way through various cables and switches to a magnet, which operates pneumatic mechanism that opens a valve and gives pressure to the pipe.

HAITIAN CUTLERY SALUTE
Steward of Naval Vessel Put Knives and Forks in Gun and Hotel
 Was Punctured.

Discipline aboard men-of-war belong ing to tropical countries is not as strict as that obtaining on the vessels of colder countries. Indeed, in some instances, it is very lax
 The Defense, a Haytian naval yes sel, was lying in the harbor of Port au-Prince. One day mess cook, for some reason, cleaned about a peck of knives and forks on the gun deck, and, being suddenly called away, and not wishing to spend time to go to the galley, he seized the messpot full of knives and forks and stuck it in the muzzle of the ten-inch gun, putting the tampion in after it. About an hour afterward the admiral came aboard, and. as the gun was loaded with blank cartridge, they used it to fire a salute.
 It happened that the gun was aimed toward the town, and almost point blank at the Grand Hotel The guests assembled on the porch to witness the ceremonies, when they were saluted with rain of knives and forks, which stuck against the wooden walls like quills on a porcupine. Fortunately no one was hurt, although there were many narrow escapes.

Ryder suspected Mrs Lipp- man of administering the poison and she asserts he sent his band of mon- keys into her house iR an effort to be revenged.

Got Useful Information.

There's no place like a pawnshop for picking up useful hints" said the improvident man. Every time hap pen into one gIean some item of gen eral information that almost reconciles me to the necessity for being there. On my last visit saw another man redeeming ostrich feathers. Our uncle brought them out tightly sealed in a glass jar.
 "what did you can them for?' the man asked.
 "'So they wouldn't spoil said the pawnbroker. "A glass jar is the safest thing on earth to keep feathers in. Moths and dust cannot get at them, besides you can keep an eye on them easily and any trouble that might have been breeding when the feathers were brought in can be discovered and nipped in the bud
 That hint consider worth going to a pawnshop for. The way things look now nobody belonging to me will ever have any ostrich plumes to take care of, but if we ever do have any I shall know what to do with them"

Aids to Digestion.

Robust people, so long as they get what suits their own uncultivated taste, are apt to make very light of what they call 'fancies" about food and overlook their real importance Feeding on the part of civilized man Is not the simple procedure which it is with animals, although many ami mals are particular as to their food and what is called dainty" The ne cessity for civilized man of cheerful company at his meal and for the ab- sence of mental anxiety is universally recognized, as well as the importance of an inviting appeal to the appetite through the sense of smell and of sight, while the injurious effect of the reverse conditions, which may lead to nausea and even vomiting, is admit ted.
 Even the ceremonial features of the dinner table, the change of clothes, the leisurely yet precise succession of approved and expected dishes, accom- panied by pleasant talk and light hearted companionship, are shown by strict scientific examination to be i'm portant aids to the healthy digestion of food, which need not be large in quantity, because wisely presented Sir Ray Lankester, in London Tele. graph.

 Forty women screamed, grabbed their skirts and were soon tiptoeing on their seats. The woman in whose pocket. the mouse was hidden sat pale and motionless until lone male pas senger seized the mouse and threw it out of the window, just as the labor CTS came piling aboard to quell the supposed riot.
 Gradually the excited women sub- sided and the car resumed it's way. after having blocked traffic for ten minutes and backed up street cars for three blocks.

 In less than week he brought the dog back.

 of Crossing.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Harry MeineT pigeon fancier of Sawtelle, a suf urb of this city. has bred carrier pigeon with a pouch in which to carry mes sages.

The Versatile Farmer.

As a matter of fact the farmer is one of the very few men who are qualified to be called "all round men. His roofless workshop is at distance from communities of any consider able size, hence he naturally and al most insensibly becomes master, in part at least, of practically all the trades and professions-not because he is miserly or lacking in funds, but because he must grapple with things at first hands.
 He becomes perforce a bricklayer, carpenter, plumber, butcher, sheep herder, swineherd, hunter, veterinary surgeon, dentist, well driller, bacter- lologist, entomologist, and at times minister, tinsmith, watchmaksr. har- ness maker, banker. doctor, lawyer and even on occasion, an undertaken.
