Washington, April 24.-The court

Captain knight is the senior captain
of the navy. BY his acquittal and
restoration to duty he probably will
be promoted to the rank of rear ad-

In closing, Superintendent Lewis
took a hasty retrospect of the work
during the six years of his incum-
bency. This period showed a small
increase in membership as far as full
members are concerned, with
slight decrease in probationers. A.
mania for the revision of the records
may be partially responsible for the
slight gain, transition to larger
centres for part, and a lack of con-
secration and faithfulness on the
part of preachers and people for yet
another part. The benevolent col
lections have aggregated upward of
100000 for the period, while the
district has two more churches than
six years ago, and five others have
been SO completely reconstructed as
to make rededications necessary;
three more have also been extensively
repaired. Two new parsonages have
been built, one new manse pur-
chased, and several other preachers
homes greatly improved in material
comforts.
All told upwards of $4,000 has
been expended in this work, and
conservative estimate makes the
church property worth more than
$65,000 in excess of six years ago.
The average cash salary of the pas
tors six years ago was $3.50, while
it was 1862 last year, an average in
crease of Sis. Omitting some of
the appointments occupied but por-
ton of the year, and also the one
charge with salary of $1,000, and
the increase in the six years has
averaged $164 per, man, besides
better housing the preachers. None
L 4 fo%& by
degeneration of the heart, but they
are less likely to perish of malnutri-
ton. All told, there has been good
improvement in many lines, and
superintendent and preachers have
worked together in harmony. In
closing, Superintendent Lewis ex-
pressed his gratitude to the preach
ers for uniform and spontaneous
kindness.
