MINISTER AISRAIGNS CHURCH.

lone of the greatest problems
confronting the church today is the
proper education Of our young peo-
de-" declared Rev. DR.. l.. Vi. Zim-
herman. Of Baltimore. before the an
uual meeting Of the Lutheran Mary
land synod, yesterday, in Washing
ton.
with suppers, dinners, bazaars,
auXiliaries, classes, calls, scouts, bri-
gades,' he continued, mems meet
ings, ladies meetings, brotherho
sisterhoods, and forward movements,
here remains very little time and
strength for doing Gods work-the
real work of the church.
1--WE boast Of strength i'll unity and
yet we divide the house Of God against
itself. Who are the best workers in
the church? Not, as q rule, those
who give their time TO varied organ
izations. What is the secret of many
church quarrels? Whence do they
originate? Not from the church, as
such, but more generally from one
r more OF the many varieties of
church organizations.
And" the speaker said, what our
church needs today are more workers,
fewer organizations, not more mach
merry, but moro spirituality, and less
interest in societies
1t has long been tho conviction Of
members of eccliastical organizations
hat they are rendered unwieldy by
he many wheels within wheels.

THE GUNBOAT PAWNEE.

In reading an account OF the eX-
tploit of the French Lady in the
Gazette few days ago the incident
recalled to my mind several reminis-
cences in connection with the gunboat
Pawnee which the Marylander pur-
posed to capture at the time he and
his companions took charge Of the
steamer st. Nicholas. Was the Paw
nee ever fired upon by the Confeder-
ates at Alexandria? . INQUIRER.
No, the Pawnee was never attacked
by Confederates at Alexandria. The
damage to her smokestack was in
flicted by Confederate batteries at
Aqua Creek during the first year of
the war While she was running the
blockade in 1862 q cannon ball from
Il battery in the vicinity OF Freestone
Point went through the Pawnec and
in close proximity 10 her magazine
The Pawnee arrived here one Satur-I
day evening few days before the
federal soldiers captured the city and
anchored off Cameron street. The
incident that gave rise to the belief
the Confederates fired on the steamer
is as follows: During the early part
of 1861 number Of ocean steamers
used by the government as trans
ports, loaded with federal soldiers
passed Alexandria on their way To
Washington. While one OF these
steamers was approaching the city al
resident of the First Ward was en-
gagged in placing powder in a huge
log which he could not maui. He
was on the shore at the foot Of Wilkes
street. While the steamer was abreast
Of this port most of the soldiers were
on the port side of the steamer gazing
at Alexandria. At this juncture tlcl
powder which had been placed in the
log exploded with a loud report. The
soldiers, supposing masked battery
had opened on the steamer, stamped
ed to the other side. When the steam
er reached Washington the soldiers
reported that the vessel had been at
tackled by Confederate batteries and
the Pawnee was ordered to anchor off
the city.

BRUTALITY OF PARENTS.

A story of horsewhipping every
week from the time she was 4 years
old till she was II was told yesterday
in Northwood, Iowa, by Mrs. Eta
Larsen in her own defense of charges
that she had induced a sister to put
poison in the food served at her
fathers home.
The young woman said her father
Douglas Rhodenbaugh, had admin
istered the horsewhipping, and she
blamed her stepmother She said
her father had opposed her marriage
and had whipped her in an effort to
cause her TO give up the plan.
This brings to mind similar oc-
currence in Germany many years
ago. A miller in that country had
carried on a course of brutality to-
wards his family for long period.
His bestialty, immortality and harsh
treatment of his children caused them
to devise heroic measures in order
to rid themselves Of their inhuman
parent. a family council was held
and one Of the miller's sons volun-
teered to put him out of the way. He
subsequently killed his father with
an ak. When the case came to trial
the court, after hearing the circum-
stances in conn action with the killing.
dismissed the young man who had
welded the AK, as we'll as the others
of the family who were parties to
the killing.

ToTTERING PERSIAN EMPIRE.

According to dispatches from Lon
don, England and Russia are about to
divide what has been left by the
tooth OF time of the Persian en-
pire. Persia has long been the last
vestige of four universal empires
which have played their respective
parts in this worlds history. The
Babylonish waxed and waned, and
was followed by the Medo-Perslan
empire, which in time gave way to
the Greek regime under Alexander
the Great. The latter finally be-
came back number and was sue
ceeded by the Roman empire which
gradually faded away under the
bright beam of the Christian era.

AND ANSWERS
STEi,.,. FERRY.


When was the steam ferry between
between Alexandria and Maryland
discontinued?
The steam ferry between AleNan-
dria and Maryland ceased to be oper-
ated some time in the eighties after
several of the most active citizens
had resorted to every means to keep
it going. The last boat on the route
was the Virginia, Captain William
Smith, who died August 10, 1888.
The boat which ran on the route
previous to the civil war was the
Alice Fox, Captain Griffin. This
boat was beached on the opposite
shore early in 1851 and never made
trips after the war began.
There was a ferry line in bygone
years the Maryland terminus OF
which was at point nearly opposite
Jones Point. or. more properly, Bat
terry Rodgers Cove, now being re-
draned. The ferryboat Unions boiler
exploded here sometime in the 30's.
Several people were killed and injur-
ed by the accident. The stones
which formed the approach to this
slip are still to be seen at low tide.
They are short distance north of the
residence of John Swift. JAS. F.
