There were a number of strangers
at the night service and friends are
urged to continue the good work of
telling the guests of the services.
The Cleaners met at the residence
of the Misses Rhodes, 423 Bermuda

Wells, who is to leave for Canada
on April 20, was the guest of honor
and was presented with a bouquet of

The most interesting meeting that
has been held in the church for a long
time was the calling of the roll of
the soldiers and sailors. AS the name
of each was called some one answered
for him or made a report. Some IN
teresting letters were read 1t was
pleasing to learn how much the boys
appreciate the opportunities afforded
them by the Y. M. c. A. All of the
boys are in fine health except Ansel
Gibson, who has been so sick some
where in France. He seems to be
better. All were glad to learn that
Lieut.. Wallace M. Hebert's throat had
greatly improved. Curtis Green, who
is at home on a vacation from his
duties as radio operator on the S. S.
Maine, was present and answered to
his own name and made a very inter-
esting talk. He too, emphasized the
value Of the Y. M. c. A. to the boys.
The pastor urged that prayers be
made daily for the absent boys.

Catch Fish in Their Hands.

Fishing in Samoan seas is often done
by the women, and without nets, boats,
or hooks. They simply wade into the
water and form themselves into a ring.
The fishes being so plentiful, they are
almost sure TO imprisOn some in the
ring. Those women are very quick
and active, and every time they catch
fish with their hands they simply
throw II, alive, into the basket on their
back.

spectaculator and early hnancier,
Thomas Law. Mr.. Laws speech might
be read with great benefit by the pres
ent lawmakers of Washington. He
tells how grudgingly the federal gov
eminent had aided the struggling city
and bluntly charged:
II trust it is not invidious to recall
that the city of Washington is little
indebted to the patronage Of the fed
eral government. In reviewing the
earliest pages of it's history, we can
only discover proofs of the neglect and
Indifference of the federal government
to our welfare. No appropriation Of
public money was applied to the city
before 1898, and then only the sum Of
100000 was loaned to the commission

principal to be repaid in fnstallmenta Z"

architecture and reverence for
ancient landmarks possessed
by Elliott Woods, superin-
tendent of the Capitol grounds
and buildings. Washington owes the
preservation Of the beautiful City
Hall, to be known in the future as
the courthouse. When the sand
stone pillars which support the Ionic
portico and the brick Of which the
ediflce Is built began to show signs
of disintegration. it was planned to
demolish the venerable pile and re-
build on q larger plan and after q
different design. But Mr.. Woods
pleaded not to destroy this perfect
type Of Ionic architecture, but to re-
inforce the entire structure without
changing its lines. After months Of
patient effort, his ideas received
recognition.
The courthouse. made over. will
present to the casual eye the exact
appearance before the work Of re-
pairing began. But to the observant
there will be many points of interest.
For instance. the original brick was
overlaid with stucco and as this was
not always Kept in spotless condi-
ton. Mr.. Woods idea Of facing the
brick with Indiana limestone from
depth of four to eight inches r,ust
be admitted a splendid change. The
crumbling sandstone has given way
to sturdy pillars Of limestone, and the
old Tagging steps will be a stately
fiiQht of granite The interior has
been entirely torn away and replaced
by the most improved plans to be
found. Tho improvements will cost
almost million dollars, or nearly ten
times tho sum expended on the orlgi-
nal building.
