ST. ANNE'S CHURCH
2lOth Anniversary Services We're
Held on Last Sunday
JUDGE PENNEWELL SPOKE

A perfect June day drew the usual
big crowd to the 210th anniversary SER
vices held in Old St. Annes' Church, on.
last Sunday. The venerable edifice,
lovingly clasped in the enveloping ivy,
never seemed more beautiful! Its sen
tinel oak, more aged still than the
church itself, looked more noble and
more vigorous than ever in its dense
LEAKAGE, towering aloft a majestic
landmark far around!
The ladies of the church had becom-
ingly dressed the interior with flowers
and plants, the whole space behind the
altar being one snowy mass of white
lilies beautifully contrasting against
the green background.
In the morning the order for morning
prayer on services leafet No. n was
followed, that grand hymn. "The Son
of God Goes Forth to War" was sung
by the excellent choir, followed by
"Nearer My God to Thee, can Hail
the Power of Jesus Name" and "Jeru-
salem The Golden. Mrs. Hugh Brown
also sang a solo in the afternoon. tThe
services morning and afternoon were
led by the rector L. Donaghay.
The Very Rev. Henry B. Bryan, Dean
of Trinity Cathedral, Easton, Md,
preached Bn eloquent sermon and spe-
cial music was rendered during the
offertory.
In the afternoon but for the threat
of thundergust, the attendance would
have been yet greater. After the
opening religious services the Hon.
James Pennewill made a pleasing ad.

He quoted from the late esteemed
rector Wilkes history that told of the
fidelity of the long ago saints of st.
Anne's, but left out the part where the
Reverend historian remarked that at
one time "there was not a single male
member left in the chqrchp' The de-

still are saving, the Church Of Christ.

The old Church is in good repair and
its handsome brick fencing serves at
once to beautify, and to protect it.
A bit OF ivy root had caused a leak in
the cornice which marred somewhat

BETHESDA CHURCH NOTES

June 27th $50 a. m Brotherhood
Devotional meeting.
1890 a. m.-Owing to the general
shift of the ministers on Easton District
next Sunday, Rev. W. l. White of
Easton, Md, will occupy the pulpit of
Bethesda Church in the morning.
Brother White is an able minister of
the gospel and large audience will,
doubtless, be present to hear him Those
who come will not be disappointed. The
pastor of Bethesda will preach at
Easton.
2.p. M. Sunday School, Let every
teacher rally his forces.
There will be no evening service.
Unusual interest was attached to the
morning service at Bethesda Church
last Sunday. The largest number,
doubtless received at one time in the
history of the church, came into full
membership. Seventy-two answered
the roll Gala sight which deeply stirred
the audience that crowded the church.
This induction into full membership was
solemn and impressive. The pastor
preached an appropriate sermon. Miss
Minnie Shay, who so ably helped in the
revival, was present and also added
words of counsel, and sang some beauti
full soul-stirring gospel songs. Every
body was glad to see Miss Shay, and
at the close of the evening service she
was engaged to assist the pastor in his
revival campaign next January. Other
probationers who could not be present
last Sunday will be received later.
Much of the fruit of last winter srevival

CHESAPEAKE VS.. JUNIORS

The Juniors made a fine showing
against the Chesapeake barring
always what one of the spectators called
the 'rotten first''.
Over that scene of mpffs, scrambles,
errors and wild throws, we will chari-
tably draw the veil. But it left an
ugly handicap of three runs against the
Juniors which IN close game usually
means defeat, and in this case would
have been so but for a sharp revival
which tied the score of four in the
ninth inning and won the extra run in
the thirteenth in favor of the Juniors.
1t was very interesting game by
reason of the excellent playing in the
main, after that deplorable first, and
because of its long succession of mu-
tual ciphers which prolonged the con-
test into the thirteenth inning.
This first inning" fiunking though
chronic SO far, shows some signs of
abating-the decrease from to and
now to suggests that. Some wag
says Let's have no first" but let s
begin with the 2d!'

of the day,

STRUCK BY AUTO.

Mrs. Emms Bowler living near
Dudley and visitor in the city
while crossing the street on the cor
ner of Third and Grant streets at
1855 this morning, was hit by an
auto, knocked down and stunned.
The car is owned by DR.. Frawley and
he was running only about eight
miles an hour. He blew his horn
several times, but the lady seemed
Il pay no attention to the warning.
She was struck by the fender of the
machine, was taken to the General
hospital by the doctor, her needs at
tended to and within a couple of
hours she was discharged from that
institution, none the worse for, her
mishap. The report is that Mrs.
Bowler is of defective hearing.

put out before getting much Roadway.
+ Many of the Masons were called up
and told of the fire, especially
Knights Templar, who had their
paraphernalia in lockers and a great
many fastened down and carried
their belongings to safe quarters
across the street.
Judge r. n. Larner was one of the
first on the scene, and while dense
smoke filled the Masonic lodge rooms,
he managed, by throwing up the win
dOws, to make it possible for those
who wanted their goods to 60 in and
get them. He also carried a master
key to the lockers which gave all
quick access to the same. Conditions
looked bad between one and two
O'Clock. for the entire building-in
Masonic hall, smoke was rolling up
from every crevice on the sides and
in the floor. Nothing was damaged
except by smoke, and it will require
| the woodwork and walls all being
gone over to place them as they were
originally before the fire.
The loss figures up>to about SIG, 200;
of this the Williams & Jerstad loss is
$l1 200, with an insurance of $1,000
the balance will represent the losses
of the Masonic fraternity, which own
ed the building, G. H. Ingraham and
William Sell. The Masons' loss being
placed atabout $4,000. All are fully
covered by insurance except Williams
& JerStad.
There we're no accidents during the
fire, but fireman Ted Doonen was
overcome by smoke and had to be ia
ken to his home, where he soon re-
vived
Just how the fire started no one
knows. Messrs. Williams & Jerstad
were in their store until after IL
O'Clock, where they had been at work
unpacking Christmas goods. They
were arranging to take advantage of
the holiday trade and had just re-
ceived a large stock from Chicago.
They will resume business just as
soon as adjustments are made with

little and they can continue the man.

for customers until the store is re-

possible.
The work of the fire department
could not have been bettered. Frank
Zielsdorf, chief, says the boys worked
hard to locate the fire, and it was
only ten minutes from the time the
department was on the grounds be-
fore water was playing on the fire.

Loss About $4,000
Williams & JerStadS Loss $1,000 With an Insurance
of S7OOO.- Masonic Fraternity'S Loss $4,000,
Fully Covered by Insurance.

Wausau came near having very
serious confagration on Sunday night,
and if the fire had been in veneer
brick building instead of solid brick,
nothing could have prevented a de-
vastating fire. AS it is, our people
are to be congratulated on escaping
and that the department was able to
confine the fire TO one store room and
basement. The night was bitter cold,
the temperature ranging near the zero
mark, and reminded US of several 9TH
er fires had in the mid of winter.
The fire was discovered in the base
ment of the Masonic Temple by Louis
Raduechel, just before midnight.
Smoke was then issuing from the
basement windows. An alarm was
sent in to the fire department and
there was quick response, but owing
to the fact that there were no flames,
nothing but volumes of heavy black
smoke coming from the easements
under each of three stores, it was
hard to locate the seat of the fire.
There was considerable criticism of
the department because so long a
time elapsed before operations COM
menced, but it must be remembered
that every minute seems ten at such
a time: also that it would have hard
ly been the thing to do, to have brok-
en- down the door of any one of the
stores and turned on the water, in
such case, thousands of dollars worth
of goods would have been damaged
without accomplishing any good. The
firemen, with all haste, commenced
the work of locating the fire and lin
ally found it raging in the basement
of the Princess candy store, owned
by j. B. Williams and A. H. Jerstad.
The flames had gained great Roadway
and the dense smoke made it difficult
for the tiremen to do effective work.
They gained entrance at the rear and
front of the store and poured streams
of water on the fire for two hours
when the floor of the store fell in and
the plate glass front went to pieces.
The tiremen were able, by hard work,
to get control of the fire and by four
O'Clock to have it fully quenched.
Had it not been that the Masonic
temple is of solid brick and the base
ment has heavy stone wall between
the store basement and that there are
solid brick partitions between the
stores, nothing could have saved the
three stores and Masonic hall. The
other stores are occupied by VIM.
Sells hardware store'and tin shop and
the G. H. Ingraham's jewelry store.
These stores were filled with smoke
and the fire at one time started in the
rear of the Ingraham store but was
