At THE PALACE.


There are many so-called histor-
ical" photo-plays that are historical
in title only. The subjects are but
fantasies founded upon fact but with
out regard to accuracy Of the events
or episodes depicted
They may sbe pictorial novels but
they are hardly of any educational
value. It has remained for the Selig
Polyscope Company to make film
that would at once be photraphically
perfect and historically accurate.
Such film is the remarkable produc-
tion of "The Coming of Columbus. ="
This is a three-reel film, the making
of which entailed years of research
and labor, employed a cast of $50
people and cost $50, 600.
Such records of his voyage and the
discovery of the Western Hemis-
phere as Columbus left were followed
as closely as possible in the making
Of this wonderful photoplay. Every
facility OF the greatest motion pic
ture plant in the world was utilized.
The duplicates ofSthe three caravels,
l Santa Maria, Pinto and Nina, which
| the Spanish nation had built and pre-
sented to the American nation, were
fitted with sails and made seaworthy
by Mr.. William Selig and employed in
the production. Even the original
log-book used by Columbus is shown.
The early vicissitudes of Columbus
are depicted. His pleadings before
the spanish Court, his final commits
sion to 60 forth on his exploration of
the unknown seas, the incidents of
the voyage, the landing on American
soil, the return to Spain and the great
reception are all faithfully portrayed
by competent actors and recorded by
the camera. There is not one defect
in the entire production. which the

Preaching by Rev. L. E. S. H. Nash.
Grand rally all day.
aThe following is resume Of the
history Ct this church:
In the year Of 1888, Asbury was or
ganized and set apart by the First
Methodist Episcopal Church OF An
napolis, Md, when Rev. Job Cess, of
the old Baltimore Conference was the
pastor, and Rev. Alfred Griffith was
the Prsiding Eder.
The ground Of the church was given
by Smith Price and bis wife (eoiored.) }
Before this time the white and coli
ored ps ople worshipped in the same
building. The colored people occu-
pied the galleries, to which they as
cended by means Of high steps from
the outside. The first building was
erected by Charles Shorter, colored,
who was contractor. 1t was dedicated
by Bishop Beverly Waugh, of the
NJ athodist Episcopal Church. The
first local peachers were Harry Price ,
samuel Hackney and Benjamin Drum
mond. The trustees were Charles
Shorter, Stephen Rundel. Isaac
Stephens and Benjamin Offer. The
i Stewards were Richard Carter and
Frisby Miller. William Shorter was
the first superintendent of the Sun
day-school. The first class leaders
were William Taylor, Philip Clayton
and Stephen Watkins. Thomas Fish
er was the first leader of the choir.
Although the colored people were
set apart to themselves in separate
church, yet they remained connected
with the white people and were
served by white pastors who used t
preach to them once a month and ad
minister the Holy Communion. The
colored local preachers visited the
sick and buried the dead. They als'
had white class leaders, as it wa
unlawful in those times for eolore'
people to hold meetings without th'
presence of a white man. In tn
! | ye ar 1862 large number of the mem
bers of Asbury withdrew from th'
church. They were led out by Rev
John r.. Lane, Elizabeth Smith ant
others, and they founded Mount Mo
riah A. M. E. Church.
The present is the second struc
ture, and it was built and completes
by Revs. Alexander Dennis and S. r
Hughes. Mr.. William B. Gard Inc
was the contractor and builder. As
Dury has enjoyed prosperous caree
and has won for herself a prominen
place among the churches. The min
listers of the old Baltimore Confer
ence served Asbury as pastors unit
the Washington Conference was or
ganized in the old Sharp Stree
Church, Baltimore, October q, 1864
Rev Tilghman Jackson was the frs
minister sent from the conference
He entered upon mis- duties Novembe
4, 1864. Since then the church ha
been served by fourteen ministers an
ten presiding elders.
