HE T1II*KS WASHIXOTOS A* IDEAL SITE rOB BTJCH aj? nrnTrnos?what xethodist cuiaiiit<i HERE SAT or THE PBOPOSED IJTkUBISI?JIO DKriMTK PLA>' 1ST A!?*OCXCEI>. A Stab reporter called on Bishop Hnrst last evening at bis residence on lows circle. In reply to the reporter's inquiries as to whether be wished to say anything farther with refer ence to the proposed Methodist university to be founded in this city the bishop said: "I do not know that there Is anything more to say on the subject than has already been said in The Star. The fact that we are discussing the pro ject of a great university here has already been made public. Further than that we have not gone and as yet there is nothing definite that has been done other than the selection of a possible site. I think that Washington is an ideal strategic point for the locatioif of a uni versity in our church. There is room for guch au institution here. There are a number of other seats of learning established already here, it is true, but they have their work to "do and we will have ours, and I can Bee no reason why they should conflict at alL The whole matter as it now stands has been pretty thoroughly discussed, and I cannot think of anything netv to say about it. One thing I can sav. however, is that we are greatly gratified by the enthusi asm and interest that has been aroused, both here and elsewhere. The proposition appears to have met with the hearty approval of every one and this fact is of itself of the greatest as sistance and encouragement to us all. Still, good wishes alone will not endow a university, and the financial question is already one of vital importance. 1 feel quite sure, however, of encouragement in this line as well, and 1 have no doubt that substantial aid will be forthcoming iu good time. As it is now I have every reason to think that before long the scheme may be put in successful operation. In a mouth from now our plans will probably be so far advanced that something definite and of real interest can be said on the subject." r.EV. MR. BU HARDSOS'S VIEWS. Rev. ?. Kichardson of the Anacostia M. E. church said to a Stab reporter: "I am heartily in favor of the undertaking and have no doubt of its ultimate success. It will be a Protestant rather than a Methodist institution. The first thousand dollars was contributed by a Baptist, and all orthodox churches will secoudthe effort begun through Bishop Hurst. Our nearest Methodist schools that can be dignified with the title of university are the Boston univer sity, at Boston; the Wesleyan university, at Syracuse, and the Northwestern university, at Evanston. 111. Thero is great need for a uni versity in Washington that shall be a national pride. The proper way to combat Catholicity is in the open field of thought, and such a uni versity as is proposed would prove an incal culable blessing to our country."

"Th? police do not interfere in lore affair*,' was the information Riven Henry May at the sixth precinct station Monday night. Only an hour or two before that Henry had been united in marriage with Miss Emma Smoot. and sub sequently the bride's father bad carried her off and made her a prisoner. The complaining groom u about nineteen year* old and his bride ia only a few mouths his junior. The young lady's father. Lieut. Edward D. Smoot of the District national guard, is employed at the government printing office as a compositor. The young roan's father is employed in the same office as a book binder. He lives at No. 31 K street northeast and the Smoots live in the adjoining house. Mr. Smoot objected to his daughter receiving the youug man's atten tions and so the young people met and courted outside. Mondav they were married in the Sresence ot witnesses and went at onco to the ridegroom's home, No. 31 K street, to cele brate. THE BRIDE CARRIED OFF AND LOCKED CP. Mrs. Smoot was waiting for her daughter's return home, but she did not come. Next door the wedding party was in full blast, and the mother of the runaway girl soon learned what was going on. When Lieut. Smoot came home and heard of what had happened he and Mrs. Smoot talked the matter over and the police were appealed to in vain. The angry father then determined to take the law into his own hands, and early in the evening he called at the house of his son in-law. His daughter wan thereto greet him and he was ready to greet her. Picking her up in his arms he carried her home and locked her in a room. His actiou cast a gloom on the merry party, and the youthful husband ap pealed to tho police, as stated above. His ap peals were in vain, for he was compelled to spend tho night in his father's iiouse whilo his pretty bride was separated from him bv a brick wall. ' A SURRENDER. All day yesterday the groom tried to get his wife. In the evening he was successful. When he visited police headquarters in the aiter noon he showed Detective Home the marriage certificate and told him of his troubles. ??How much is she worth to youi1" asked the officer. lhe groom only blushed and smiled. ??If she's worth anything," continued the officer, "you can replevin her." District Attorney Hogo was interviewed and he suggested a writ of habeas corpus as the bridegroom s remedy. It was a pretty expen sive one and the young man thought he would try other means first. A lawyer was obtained auil Lieut. Sinoot finally reluctantly surren dered his daughter to her husband It appears that yesterday afternoon the young husband took tho advice of Mr. Albert Sellers, an attorney, who had an interview with the bride's parents, in which he gavo his opinion that the law was on the side of tho young couple, they having been married by ilev. Mr. Seymour of the Fifth Congregational church, lhe parents then agreed to accept the situation, tuid the young bride went to her husband. The Greenbackcrs* Independence Day. "The second declaration of our independ ence" is what Geo. O. Jones, the chairman of the national greenback committee, calls the decision of the United States Supreme Court declaring that Congress has the sovereign and constitutional power to emit bills of credit to provide currency for the whole people and to make the notes of the government legal tender. He thereupon urges, in a call just issued, that on March a next, the sixth anniversary of that decision, all national greonbackers meet in their respective localities and organize them selves into national greenback clubs, prepara tory to congressional, state and national organ izations next fall.
