SUNDAY SCHOOLS GROWTH.
Large Fund on Hand Toward Erec.
ton of a Building.

The Catholic Sunday school which was
organized at Congress Heights about
year ago has made wonderful growth. ac-
cording to the reports of the officers OF
this school. Seventy-six children have
enrolled for the present season and it is
expected that before many weeks this
number will reach one hundred. Mrs.
Eva Blum has been reelected as super
intendent of the school. A gold medal
has been given the school to. be presented
to the scholar making the best record
during the year.
The aim of the ones interested In this
school Is the erection of q permanent
building for conducting the classes and
eventually a church of that denomination
in the suburb A request was made for
the erection of church several months
ago, but it was denied by the authorities
at that time because the time for this
structure. it was thought. had not ar
rived. Consent was given, however, to
the formation of the Sunday school and
the eventual building of a permanent
meeting ROOM Ground for this building
has already been donated and a large
sum Is on hand for its erection. The
sessions are now held in: the town hall on
Alabama avenue

To Raise Annual Fund.

The national committee. the secretary
of which is Kenneth B. Day, and which
has its headquarters at 80 Church street
New York city, has for its aim the rails
ing annually of fund sufficient to carry
on the non-sectarian work that Bishop
Brent has planned for the Moro tribes
Bishop Brent has been in the Philip
pines since 1901. and has devoted his life
to this work in the islande. He has al
ready accomplished great good among
these wards of the United States For
instance, in one section families who
were dwelling in treetops two years ago
now have comfortable homes in decent
villages and are cutting their grass with
American lawn mowers. The telephone,
telegraph, sewing machine. automobile,
railroad, artesian well, farming tools
and other modern inventions are in
creasingly welcomed and used by the ma
lives, who are not devoid of intellectual
capacity and have considerable manual
dexterity. The mats and beadwork OF
the women, the brasses and woodwork of
the men, display artistic ability and have
real intrinsic value even in their crude
states.
Bishop Brent's plans take in the social.
industrial, educational and evangelical
work among the million or more pagan
and Moro inhabitants. He hopes to cure
them of their chronic ills, such as ma
laria, hookworm, black fever and the
like. and teIh them how to live-so-as

With the approach of cold weather in
door activities In the schools are IN
creasing in popularity although, of
course. the outdoor ones such as foot
ball are receiving their proper share of
attention. Cold weather, however, it is
agreed is more conducive to debating,
dramatics and other similar features
than are the warmer days.
Boys of Business High School practiced
cheering Tuesday morning under the
leadership of Sidney Struble, who is TAX
ing postgraduate course at the school.
Concerted cheering at the various inter
school games is ore of the features
which mark those contests.

Personal Rights Infringed.

George Green. colored, giving his ad-
dress as 1908 18th street northwest, told
the police he thought his personal rights
were being trampled upon when he was
arrested for taking a drink from a bottle.
Why it made any difference whether he
took the drink upon the highway or in
a house he could not understand. He
quickly learned, however, that the excise
law forbids drinking in certain public
places.
He did not just understand how he
had shown the law any disrespect pa-
liceman Beckley thought to the CON
trars, however and took him from the
vicinity of 4th and W streets northwest
to the second precinct police station He
may tell his story in court tomorrow.

OYSTER STOCK MAY BE SHORT.
Bay Supply Probably Confined to
Two Cargoes This Morning.

Though there were six boats with oys-
tiers aboard at the 18th street wharf last
evening, 1t was stated that the cargoes
IN four of them had been sold and they
before leaving for the lower river. This
leaves but two boats from bay beds at
the wharf, and unless others get in this
morning not all of those who go to the
wharf today for their Sunday supply of
oysters fresh out of the shell will get
big supply.
Bay oysters are always held at high
prices and it is probable that from so
cents to over 81 viii be. asked for them
in bushel and half-bushel lots. The de-
mand has been particularly brisk in
the past week. and vessels arriving at
the wharf Friday night and yesterday
morning soon had their cargoes sold at
prices ranging at about 30 cents per
bushel.

pected to be ample
