men and women of the day. among whom re
John Quincy Adams and Dolly Madison.
Miss Phoebe NourSe, daughter of Mai Nc lrSe
and granddaughter of Joseph Nourse, died at
the age of 18 years and left bequest of $40 in
gold to be used in the erection of church
editice, the money having been earned by her
needework, at which she was skilled. Other
members of the Nourse family gave the land
for the church
Her sister, Miss Rosa Nourse was long active
in the church work. The upbuilding of the
community is shown to have been aided con-
Sistently by the church, the school it maintained
with Miss Nourse as teacher. having been the
only opportunity in that section for children to
get an education. For nearly 80 years this
school served the children without regard to
religious persuasion and without charge if they
could not pay tuition Public schools estah-
liShed later made this parish effort unneces-
Sary.
IT was not until 1902 that the electric car line
was extended out as far as st. Adams Be-
fore that especially in the earlier years of the
church, dusty dirt roads or paths through fields
and woods were used by members to reach the
edifce. They came on foot on horseback or in
carriages Mrs. Grover Cleveland after the
President purchased home in what is now
Cleveland Park, usually walked to the church
from her house.
The interesting fact is recorded in the his
tory that the site of the cathedral was saved
by the decision of st. Adams to hold on to it's
own site in the face of a projected residential
development in the vicinity The land now
owned by the cathedral had passed into the
hands of an owner who contemplated-the SUBJ
dividing of the section, calling for street that
would run through st. Adams rectory When
the parish declined to sell, the project was
dropped and, in l898 Bishop Henry L. Satter-
lee purchased the site of the cathedral for the

One OF these, Mrs. Eliza Shriver Fundenberg,
more than 80 years old, and still living in
washington, was in the first confirmation class
OF 1854. She has described the beginning rs
modest, but courageous and forward-looking.

work was extended in the opening of local
parish edifices The cathedral does not have
members as does parish church, nor does

together.

ID History of st. Adams Parish 1854
1929" will add to the literature of
local church records perhaps the
most ambitious volume of the kind
yet attempted here. The 225 pages and 80 il
Illustrations throw new light not only parish
history, but on the history of Washington and
of the District of Columbia. That it will be
valuable book for the public at large, as well
as for the church members, is indicated by
advance perusal of its pages.
= Observance of the seventy-fifth anniversary
already has been marked this year by st.
Adams in special sermons. meeting and recep-
tions. The decision to commemorate the date
= by permanent record was reached and DR..
George r. Wales named chairman of q
committee on history, under whose direction
the book has been prepared. The editing has
been done by Miss Mary Badger Wilson, u
thor. among other works, of The Painted
City" book of sketches of Washington life.
Considerable research was necessary here and
outside of Washington, resulting in the
rection of a number of confusing statements
about the parish and in the addition of new
material.
Since the beginning, in 1854, the parish has
had only six rectors Rev. Wentworth L. Childs
was the first rector, and the present rector is
Rev. Charles T. Warner, who installed in
1912, and has had the longest tenure of Office
among the incumbents. Bishop Philip M
Rhinelander served the parish one year. in
1896, as minister in charge. This was when
he was a deacon. The immediate predecessor
OF MIR. warner was very rev. u. u r. BraLes
nahI dean of the National Episcopal Cathedral,
within stones throw of st. Albans Wis
consin avenue. He served rector for Is
years.
ONLY brief outline of the forthcoming his
tory be given here but at the outset
it will be useful to make the distinction be-
tween st. Adams and the National Cathedral
nd in hn IAnnl lhow~s
Parish is entirely separate from the cathedral
and will not be impaired to its identity or
functions by the completion and full of the
cathedral. Misapprehensions as to the relation
of the parish church and the cathedral are
cleared up in the book in the following way:
In Europe the building of cathedralS pre-
ceded the establishment of churches and
parishes, whereas in America the rule
Versed during Colonial days and down to the
Revolutionary War period, that parishes pre-
Ceded cathedraIs. In those early days there
were no bishops of the Church of England in
America. Ministers, however, came out with
the coonists and organized churches. 1t was
nearly two centuries after the first settlement,
in 1907, before bishops were consecrated in
America.
The first bishop to be consecrated in America
was Thomas John Claggett, who it is interest
ing to note, was buried in st. Albans, but now
has a final resting place in the cathedral

erect the bishops church, known as a cathe-

The office of John Doe & Company, fake brok-

to the BOILER room" It is remote from the con-
ference offices and the walls are well insulated.
There is good reason, for, in the "boiler room"
is battery of perhaps dozen telephones. At
each instrument sits "dynamiter" who has before
him several pages Of the telephone directory.
All day long these telephones are working call
ing people in Washington as well as distant places
urging them to buy stocks through John Doe &

may be boosting some stock at high prices which

This Jaw stuck out several feet
beyond the mouth, and ended at

Though the structure %outwardly re-
sembled a pair Of lower tusks SO
much that the animal was dubbed
a shovel-tusker, studies at the
american Museum CT Natural His
tory indicate that it actually was
a jaw. Describing the one discov-
cred last summer by DR.. Andrews,

The two lower teeth are closely
pressed together in the middle line,
broadened and flattened at the
sides, so that together they exceed
the dimensions Of the typical
Irishman'S shovel. In place Of the
shovel handle is the long, relative
~ slender lower Jaw, by which the
shovel tusks were pushed into the
sand, or more probably used to up

Dr.. Andrews says Of the di5cOv-
cry:
NO one in our party had dream
ed Of finding such an animal.
Long experience in search for
these prehistoric types does not,
strange as it may seem, prepare one
to forecast what new forms may be
discovered. From what we know
now it seems probable that this
mastedon used his trunk to push
the food back along the lower law

The Monaghan Shovel-tusker
