Route of Booths Flight.

Still, we found our greatest pleasure
in the run and the things We discovered
by the way. The road lies over the
Anacostia bridge and thence to La
I'lata, and is notable chiefly for being
the road by which Booth escaped after
.Lincoln's assassination. It's nat, rather
uninteresting country. 'but the going Is
fine and there's one straight stretch or
six miles 10 delight the soul OF the
Inotorist.
Beyond La Plata the countrys pretty.
and on our way back we made detour
through Chapel Point, with its quaint
chapel and monastery crowning tho
hilltop, and through Port Tobacco.
There's a real deserted village. deserted
alike by its people and by the broad
creek which helped to make 1t in its
day one OF Maryland's busiest ports
Port Tobacco lived UP to its name in
colonial days, and from 1t most OF the
yield Of southern Maryland was ship
ped. It was there the planters from the
country round came to dispose OF their
crops. Big warehouses nestled against
the hillsides. By day there was chafrer-
ing and bargaining galore and OF an
evening gay doings among the younger
blades.

garded as a much greater distinction.
"In addition to my countess" who
Is quite young. quite fetching-here's
her picture to prove it-and speaks
perfect English with the most de-
lightful voice and just a weo bit OF
an accent, Washington has been treat
ed to several title visitors OF late.
There's Countess spottiswood Mack
In, who is becoming a "vraf' WASH
ingtonian. and Mrs. Greely's cousin
and guest, Countess Montjoio de Bro
berg, in whose honor quite a little
informal entertaining has been ar
ranged. Also there's Baroness Won
Ketteler. who is stopping at tho
Shoreham.
Baroness Won Ketteier was Miss Led
yard, of Detroit, and married Baron Won
Ketteler before he was made German
minister to China, where he met q tragic
death at tho beginning Of the Boxer
revolution, His assassination occurred
when he was on the way to the Tsung Ii
Yamen to protest against the treatment
his colleagues were experiencing, and
to try to make some provision for their
safety, The baroness was in Peking
at the time, and It was feared she would
not recover from the effects of the
tragedy. She left Pebng for Berlin as
soon as possible. and was received with
every honor by the Kaiser, For long
time she lived in Germany. but since
the war has found II moro agreeable on
this side of the water. She came to
Washington to sec Mrs. Mcmillan, wife
OF Senator Mcmillan. who was the des
ex machina in her courtship.

Colonial Mansions in Ruins.

Now the creek lies a mile or more
over the way. A few crumbling brick
structures. a few frame buildings sag
ginE in strange shapes. and a Few tall
brick chimneys-beautiful things with
high shoulders and sometimes a little
door opening into a brick-lined oven
this is Port Tobacco. One little house
has been patched up. a bright new tin
roof added, and the tiny garden put in
order. Somebody lives there. But II
only serves to accent the desolation.
There's something a bit tragic about
all this country. for nearly every hill is
crowned by a fine colonial mansion. and
many OF them are falling into ruins.
It's a country to delight the soul OF the
lover OF things colonial, with 1t wide-
winged homesteads of warm, red brick.
and to break his heart when he sees
them falling to decay. And it'E particu-
larly trying TO see new houses spring
ing up over the way. individually hide

PLOT NOW CHARGED
 BY CATHOLIC PRIEST
Says Wealthy Foundations Are
 Trying to Run the Church

New York, June 5.--The Sage, Car negie, and Rockefeller Foundations were directly charged in a sermon yesterday with efforts to run the Catholic church when they forbade re- ligion to be taught in educational in stitutions which enjoyed the use of their money The accusation wos made by Rev. Father Joseph H. Roclt- we'll, president of Brooklyn college, who spoke at the II o'clock mass at the Church of St. Ignatius on Carroll street, Brooklyn,
 Father RockwelPs sermon was based on the Gospel according to St. John, his text being, They will put you of the synagogues; they will kill you and think they know not the Ea- ther of Me"
 He referred to the part that money has played in religious affairs ever since the thirty pieces of silver with which Judas was bribed. Money, he . declared was back of an organized attack on the church, and the people who had the money were able to go to great lengths because of the control their wealth exerted in everyday life. He argued the Cath Olics to follow the example of St. Paul and demand their rights as citizens, but he decried vio- lenCe.
 His sermon mentioned the wire tapping controversy several times, and once the speakers said frankly that it was known widely that there was a conspiracy among certain officials l against Catholic institutions" Many wealthy foundations are in | Q oSrli, Cl,, h Il Father Rockwell 'Witness the ef- forts to control the education of the country by the Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Sage Foundations. Even he Baptists have protested against the tyrrannzing attempts of the Carnegie | Foundation to control education.
 Tt behOOVes us to stand for our | rights as citizens and not permit half dozen scheming men and women, who want to enrich themselves and crush poor institutions to control mil lions of Catholics whose rights are founded in the eternal liberty that is Christ's and that is not bounded nor limited by the narrow horizon of bigOts and politicians. Eternity is our portion. The church and her insti- tutiOns are the stepping stones to eternity and it is our duty as Cath 
 that concerns God and the saving of souls"
 The speakers went on to tell how St. Paul when his death was asked because he was charged with crime, demanded to be taken before Caesar as a Roman citizen. He pleaded that there be no weak yielding nor laissez faire policy on the part of his hear CTS who must realize that souls were in danger. He said the danger shOuld be made known that was threatening the church and every effort made to overcome it.
 The church ought by no means to oppose the state, he said, because S'll authority emanated from God, but
 on the other hand, any attempt lc
 interfere with the spiritual supremacy of the church should be met with un-
 alterable determination to fight thf thing to bitter end. On this po1n' there must be no com promise.
