NEWS NOTES FROM WASHINGTON Famous Churches at the National Capital — The President at the Theatre [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., April 5. Washington should be called the "City of Churches" as well as the "City of Magnificent Distances." There is a house of worship for each thousand of the population yet many of the churches cannot begin to accommodate the vast throngs that wish to attend them. Of course, the church of first importance is the Grace Reformed Church where President Roosevelt worships. Every Sunday this small edifice, which is located not far from the White House, is crowded to the doors and hundreds of people are turned away. The President walks to and from services, takes a keen interest in the sermon and is the first to leave the church, the congregation remaining in their places until he has passed out. Mrs. Roosevelt is not a member of this German church. She attends St. John's Episcopal church located directly opposite from the Executive Mansion. This is the church made famous by President Arthur and it was here that Miss Ethel, the youngest daughter of President Roosevelt, was recently confirmed by Bishop Satterlee. Another famous church is the New York Avenue Presbyterian church where Lincoln attended and where his pew can be seen today just as it was when occupied by the martyred president. It is of particular interest to crowded with officials of the ment, ambassadors, foreign and the general public. bunting hung from the box cony and a gala appearance of the entire house.

Another famous church is the New York Avenue Presbyterian church where Lincoln attended and where his pew can be seen today just as it was when occupied by the martyred president. It is of particular interest to sightseers. The Metropolitan M. E. church contains the pews of Presidents Grant and McKinley and it is at this church, on the anniversary of McKinley's death each year, that his favorite hymn "Lead Kindly Light" is played on the great chime of bells which was secured for the church through the help of President Grant. Admiral Dewey was at the capitol one day last week. He alighted from his carriage and walked briskly up the long flight of steps leading to the rotunda. Although dressed in civilian's clothes he was quickly recognized by many and the word soon got around that the admiral was on his way to the senate. He appeared before the senate naval committee and talking with Chairman Hale declared in most forceful terms that an appropriation should be made at once for two big battleships of the Dreadnaught type—the ship of that name just launched by the British government. He said that up to the Civil War the United States led the world in the construction of battleships but since that time we have been content to let other countries take the initiative and to follow their lead. His remarks created a favorable impression and it is likely that the committee will authorize the building of at least one man-of-war which will be the largest in the world. The admiral was in the best of health and was warmly greeted by senators and representatives. There was a stirring scene enacted at the New National theatre on Wednesday night.

He Is an Important Official and Gets a Good Salary. When private affairs or other matters make it impossible for our lawmakers to attend to their duties in house or senate a "pair" is made out with a member of the opposition and filed with the clerk. This acts to preserve the balance of the majority, since one vote from each side is taken away. The matter is entirely one of personal arrangement, and the clerk's only duty is to record the fact. In parliament there is an official to prepare these pairs and to act as "whip" for his party, the place carrying with it a salary of $10,000 as patronage secretary. The parliamentary whip is something more than an arranger of pairs, however, for his chief duty lies in seeing that all members of his party are present when there is likely to be a need of their vote, and for this purpose he sends out through his assistants notices in which the importance of the events to come is shown by the number of the underscored lines used. A one line whip, wherein the subject of the debate and other information are underscored but once, is not regarded as being particularly pressing, but a two line whip commands attention, and a three line whip means that the recipient who absents himself is liable to find himself in disfavor with his party. Four lines are used only in announcing great events, and no one who receives the occasional five line whip would think of remaining away unless ill in bed. In parliament pairing is a matter arranged by the whips of the opposing parties and not by those who seek to escape their duties. At times there are humorous mistakes made as each seeks to pair off some one who would in any event remain away. The most notable case was one wherein a man abed with a broken leg was paired with a member who had just died, each whip gloating over his cleverness until the facts came to light. Princely, E...

The Former Are Beneficial, but the Latter Are Dangerous. By a draft is meant the currents of air in an inclosed space. Our forefathers attributed nearly all the evils that beset them to drafts, and they would not have slept in uncurtained beds for anything. Of course their windows and doors were shaky, and houses stood far apart, so drafts were nearly inevitable. But the modern scientific world tries to deny drafts altogether and calls them winds, which are harmless and even healthy to a certain degree. Any one who cares to find out the difference between a wind and a draft can do so in any apartment which has windows on different sides of the house. Let him open a window on a windy day on the side of the house toward which the wind blows. The air which comes in is quite harmless if the person exposed to it be dressed in warm clothes, and little children may take the air in a room thus ventilated. But let him open a window past which the wind blows, and it will be found that the air in the room is moved by a number of currents, all of which strive to reach the opening. It is the passing wind which sucks up the air in the room and draws it out, and this causes the room to have what is called a draft. The effect upon sensitive persons is immediately felt, like the forerunner of pain to come. A draft will always be felt as colder than the wind. Very dangerous drafts are those that are produced in railway cars by the rapid motion of the train. It is not wind that gets into the carriages, but the air of the car which is sucked out. A lighted match held to the chink of the window will prove this, as the flame will be drawn toward the window, not blown from it. “The Bridge” Born of Sorrow. Then and Now.

"The Bridge" Born of Sorrow. My poem entitled 'The Bridge,' said Longfellow, "was written in sorrow, which made me feel for the loneliness of others. I was a widower at the time, and I used sometimes to go over the bridge to Boston evenings to meet friends and return near midnight by the same way. The way was silent, save here and there a belated footstep. The sea rose or fell among the wooden pliers, and there was a great furnace on the Brighton hills whose red light was reflected by the waves. It was on such a late, solitary walk that the spirit of the poem came upon me. The bridge has been greatly altered, but the place of it is the same." English Cookery. French cookery came from Italy, but long before France attained any distinction English cooking was spoken of as the best in Europe. After the reign of Henry VIII, soups and fish fell into general disuse, and larger quantities of meat occupied their place. "In the reign of James II, cookery had fallen to its lowest depth. It revived a little in the reigns of Anne and George I., degenerated again in the reigns of George II. and III., until at last English cooking was little better than that of the ancient Britons."—London Tele- incely, Emperor and Earlington SHIRTS 163 Dozen selling for 50c, 75c & $1 Made of the best of material and of the latest patterns are fast colors.
