greatest sense of the word. But our position when
we reached the Metropolis was like that of hunter gunning
for reed birds who suddenly finds himself in the midst of
a covey of partridges. For the splendid -deal that we closed
surpassed every expectation that we had set out with. We
secured among other things the following extraordinary
values in Crepons :

Adolnh J. Schippert, jr. through his at

petition in equity against C. Genn Nich

Schippert says in his c&nplaint that on
Ju'y 14, 1S9S. he and Nichols entered into
partnerbhip in the undertaking business
at No. 207 Second Street toutheast and
No. 211S Pennsylvania Avenue northwest,
and that the agreement was to be of ef

The business was to have be?n managed

ScTilppert also alleges that in many in

ioiiiiry Sermon nt Tnkomn.
The Rev. V. A. Guerry, a member of
the faculty of the University of the South,
who is attending the Episcopal Conven
tion, preached at the morning service in
Trinity Chapel at Takoma Park yester
day. Rev. Guerry is a strong speaker, and
handled his subject in a pleasing and can
did manner. His sermon was of a mis
sionary character, the text being selected
from St. Mark, 2Sth chapter. 19th verse:
"Go ye therefore and teach all nations."
The minister did not hesitate to acknowl
edge that the Episcopal Church Is far out
stripped by the other great Protestant
churches in the matter of missionary
work, and strongly urged that this defi
ciency be corrected. He spoke in praise of
the missions established in all parts of
the world by the great universities, and
believes that there will be a great revival
in this work in the near future. He es
pecially emphasized the fact that in order
to be true folllowers of Christ all must do
their share in teaching actively and ef
fectively the gospel to all nations.
The service was largelyattended by the
members of all denominations.

DISTRICT NAVAL BATTALION.
The U. S. S. Fern Placed at It Dia
1omiiI for Practice.
The naval battalion of the District of
Columbia National Guard Js, to Tiave a
war vessel stationed on the Hotomac Riv
er front for its exclusiv-UBjB' Jl J -
Secretary Long has formally turned
over to the District Naval Militia through
Lieut. Sherburne G. Hoplm?;2? TJ. S.
S. Fern, now lying off theKoxfolk navy
yard. In a few days LieutkHopklns will
proceed to Norfolk with a detail of volun
teer sailors from the Districtnaval bat
talion and bring the Fern to Washing
ton. The President Saturday afternoon
signed the commissions of the officers
of the District naval battalion, who were
nominated several days ago by Gen. Har
ries, and they will at once enter upon the
active duties of placing the citizen bailors
in good trim. The list of officers Just
commissioned Is as follows:
R. P. Haines, commander.
AV. A. Megrath, lieutenant commander.
A. E. Smith, chief engineer.
Sydney Beaver, paymaster.
-First division Lieutenant, Joseph Van
Fleet; junior lieutenant, G. Lewis; en
signs, L. Claude Covell. Charles E. Ru
gers and Robert Bradbury.
Nearly all of these officers have had
previous experience and Instruction In
naval service. Commander Haines and
Lieut Comdr. Megrath both graduated
fronj the United States. Naval Academy
at Annapolis, and they are also both
principal examiners in the Patent Office.
Chief Engineer Smith is a patent exam
iner; Lieut. Van Fleet served in the na.
vy; Lieut. Lewis is a graduate of the
Maryland Agricultural College. Ensign
Covell was a major In the High School
Cadet regiment and Ensigns Rugers and
Bradbury have seen service in the navy.
The second division is already fully or
ganized and equipped and has a mem
bership of 70 enlisted men. Its officers
are Lieut. Sherburne G. Hopkins, com
manding; Harry A. Shepley. lieutenant
Junior grade, and Robert F. Bradbury,
ensign.
This division was organized on July 1,
1S9S. for service during the war with
Spain. Its services -were tendered to the
Navy Department, and the men expected
that they would see active duty on
board the cruiser Buffalo, formerly the
Brazilian cruiser Nlctheroy. The Buffalo,
however, did not go Into commission un
til recently, and the Washington sailors
were keenly disappointed. The officers
of the second division were commissioned
by the President In July, in order that
their services would be available if re
quired. This division is fully uniformed, and
holds Its meetings In the National Guard
Armory over Center Market.
The steamer Fern, which has just been
acquired by the District naval militia,
has been used in the navy principally as
a dispatch boat between Washington,
New York, Boston and Key West. Dur
ing the war she also made several voy
ages to Cuba.
The Fern became historic owing to the
fact that she conveyed to Havana harbor
the naval commission which investigated
the blowing up of the battleship Maine.
It was in the spacious cabins of the
Fern that most of the sessions of the
commission were held.
During the Winter the District naval
battalion will have .practice drills on the
steamer, and next Spring and Summer
she will make several cruises down the
Potomac in the Chesapeake and probably
go to sea. The Fern is armed with
rapid-fire guns, and the District sailors
will utilize them for gunnery practice
during the ensuing Fall and Winter
months.
The records of the Navy Department
show that the Fern was built at New
York in 1S71. She is 1C0 feet in length, 2S
feet beam; 11 feet 91-2 inches draught;
S10 tons displacement, and a propeller.
She can steam at a rapid rate, but her
bpeed is not given. The fact that she has
been employed as a dispatch boat indi
cates that the Fern Is a fast sailer.
It is proposed by some of the officers
to have the name of the vessel changed
from Fern, which ;hey say is not sug
gestive enough for a warship, to either
"Washington" or "Potomac."

gave it to the policemen, who were wait
ing for him on the outside. They then
