One thousand young men are now enrolled under its banner, E ASSOCIATION BUILDING. The association is comfortably housed at | 1409 New York avenve, where John Chamber- lin once dispensed hospitality at regular rates from his famous club. It is an entirely differ- ent looking place now, inwardly. It is quiet, homelike, refined, attractive, and_senrce an hour passes any day when from half a dozen to half a hundred young men may not be found inside reading, talking or making good use of the gymuasiuin in the rear. It 8 a pleasant, convenient place to drop into at any time when one has a spare tive minutes, wholesome. comfortable resting place, There is a popular idea abroad that the Y.M.C.A, isan organization purely for religious work, the members spending their time in fervid inter- | changes of religions experiences and expres- sions of mutual horror at the wickeduess of the world. In fact the title of the organization b erroncously given the impression. While, of cou the central thought is Christianity and | in the routine of association existence the exer- | cise of religions customs and the fostering of | religions tenden is very often brought into play. yet by no means are its members bound down to any such limits of action as the public would beheve. THE WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION, Ina little pamphlet published by the asso- ciation the scope of its work is enumerated thus under the caption ‘What We Have,” asa sort of sociation menu: “Physical culture, social and artment—the business school, health talks, popular talks, receptions, literary soci- ety, reading room, library, &c.; religious de- ent—gospel and Song service meeting. Sunday school teacher: . Bible and training classes, &c.” will be seen that the main idea is that these thousand young men arg to be given a ple | club home, with attractions and advantag | develop the physical, gental, moral, and social phases of their natur TALK OF NEW QUARTERS, ‘The house is not exactly what the association would like, and plans are working in the minds of directors for the enlargement of the quarters on a_ scale better suited to the greatly increased membership. There w: some critical talk heard on one side and another when, in September, 1852, the as- sociation purchased the Chamberlin property and took possession. It seemed to many a piece of extravagance that would surely ruin the organization and cause it but another set back such as it had been ex- periencing almost ever since its start, But it proved a wie move, fr since then the trec has grown and blossomed, adding new branches each year and gradually rooting itself too firmly to be blown down by a disastrous wind. THE OFFicz. On the first floor of the building is the office. afront room of some size, where the general secretary, Mr. James E. Pugh, and his assistant, Mr. James W. Dyre, are kept busy from morn ing until night with the heavy and varied duties that this great organization entails upon them. Here members are making inquiries about the thousand and one details of association life, prospective members are asking question after question relative to the benetits of the organiz: young men are making applications for employment and receiving directions, and so the day goes on, while the busy secretary wonders if there is Such a thing as Fest.

Upstairs are four good-sized rooms, now occu- | pied by the classes, which form one of the most popular features of the association work. It is denominated the Y.M.C.A. business school and is free and open to all members of the associa- tion, The course of instruction covers two years and embraces German, French, mathematics, bookkeeping, English, pho- nography and light-line short hand and typewriting. Prof. L. F. do Wimpffen gives lessons in French and German on Monday and Wednesday from 7 to 9 the pupils being divided into senior and junior classes, Prof. Francis Fava teaches the mathematics and yy ote on Tuesday and Friday from 7 to 8 and from 8 to 9. Miss Josephine Bettes imparts instruction in English on Tuesday and Friday from 7 to 9. E. F, Hanna teaches Pitt- man phonography on Monday and Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30, and Rey. M. P. Snell gives his classes some idea of light-line short hend on Tuesday and Fri from 6 to7. On Tues- day and Thursday K. B. Parkman shows four classes how to manipulate the typewriter, giving each class half an hour. The reom in the corner, fronting on the street, is used as a meeting room for the board of directors as well as aclass room. The third floor is occu- pied by Mr. Pagh as his living apartments. ‘THE GYMNASIUM, Back of the main structure is a building added by the association in 1884 as a gymna- sium. This has grown tobe, perhaps, the most popular feature of the work and has un- doubtedly been the means of drawing large numbers of young men into the fold. A com- petent instructor is employed, whose entire time is given up to the work of training the young men who present themselves. Each member is entitled toa physical examination ang measurement for the purpose of discover- ing his deficiencies or defects, which the instructor immediately sets about to correct. A careful record is kept of each man’s dimensions, which are remeasured from time to time, Instruction is given in ¢ on Mondays, Wednesdays id Fridays trom 8 to Yo'elock and on Thursdays and Saturdays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. There is also a special course of instruction for boys under sixteen at low rates. ‘The gymnasium hag an area of over 000 square feet, well cquipped with the late and most approved appli . baths, lockers in plenty and every facility for stirring up sluggish blood, hardening flabby flesh and in- ereasing muscles, A committee also has in hand the work of securing grounds suitable for out-door sports next summer, including base ball, tennis, foot ball and cycling. HEALTH TALKS, Avaluable adjunct to the gynasium work is the course of health talks, as they are called, one of which is given every alternate Friday night in tle parlors of the association by a physician or a specialist of note on some popu- r topic in unscientific language. Last nig urgeon General Hammond of the army spoke upon ‘The proper care of the mind.” There is, besides this course of lectures, an- other denominated “Popular Talks” by men successful in life, who have told the young men something about those elements that go to make up a successful man, Mr. B. WH. Warner, hose shoulder has often been put to the asso- ciation wheel in one way or auother, reecntly gave an address entitled “Pointers for young men” to the students of the business school and others. ‘The program for the spring series has not yet been arranged, but will begin Friday, January 17. THE LITERARY SocIETY is well established, having been organized several years ago. It is a debating club, with literary features, and has a large membership. At present Mr. Theophilus Bray is president and Mr. A. D, Spangler secre The socivty meets once a week and debates a live topic of . often givi parlors, to which the members invite their friends, Eve aturday night the asso- | ion has what is Known as “the soc when music, glees and other, amusing features abound.

There is, in connection with the association, an employment bureau for young men out of work, No fees are charged, and in many eases much good has been done by finding places for needy people at the right time.

A num, slight balance is stilldue on the gymnasium, which is gradually disappearing, and slowly a surplus fund is being gathered for future build- ing operations. Seven-eights of the re pts of the association are from dues, the other eighth coming from donations from outside persons. This is a remarkable — sho ing in comparison with the associations of other cities, where fully two-thirds and often threv-fourths of the receipts come from donations, The Washington branch has prot ably no equal in tuis respect, and. this fact will undoubtedly be pointed out asa. si of suecess at the angiversary mecting next ‘Tuesday night, when the following gentlemen Will make addresses: Rev. 8.

GOV. HILL AND HIs CHANCES IN '92—MR. CLEVE LAND’S STRENGTH IN NEW YORK—A SHADBY SET* TING FOR GILBERT AND SULLIVAN'S NEW OPERA STANLEY AS AN ATTRACTION FOR LECTURE HALLS, Correspondence of Tar EveNina Stan. New York, January 10. As I find so many people in Washington spec- ulating about Hill's chances in "92 his latest bid for popularity may be worth a paragraph. This is the elaborate and friendly consideration he has given in his annual message this week tothe question of ballot reform. If we are able to look at this document free from parti+ san bias we shall find in it much thatis sensible and to be commended; and that a man of Hill's antecedents and affiliations should deem it ex- pedient to occupy as advanced ground as he has done furnishes astriking proof of the moe mentum which the reform has acquired, As to "92, Hill's chances depend upon a num- ber of circumstances. Four out of five men You mect would say he has no chance at all, and yet the fifth might be the nearer right. Much may depend on whether or not New York remains the pivotal state. If it does not his chances are snuffed out, It is therefore nataral that his adherents should be busy figuring at this time that the battle in "92 will once more turn on the result in New York. Thus the New York Sun insists that the verdict of the country will hinge on the voice of New York and more than that upon “the maintenance or diminu- tion of the democratic majority in New York, Brooklyn and the towns of the metropolitan district,” or, in other words, in the precise lo- eality where Mr, Hill is strongest and Mr, Clovetand weakest, It would berash to assume, however, the Hill men are inclined to do, that Cleveland lacks voting strength in New York city and vicinity, Certhinly he is more popular there than ever personally and his wife has alrcady become one of the great social forces, Their elegant mansion m the Marquand group of palaces on Madison avenue forms one of the chief points of interest in the social life of the city. “Mrs. Cleveland is displaying the same giftof pleasing that gave her such dis- tinction in Washington, and Mr. Cleveland is rapidly identifying himself with some of the very strongest business interests of the city. He is studiously quict, but though Bre’r Grover he lay low, nevertheless he may got there all the same. A DINNER THAT WASN'T A LOVE FEAST. What may lead to a serious and open split in the democratic party in the state was the un- pleasantness that came to the surface Wednes- day night at the dinner of the democratic bu ness men’s club, Never before have the Cle land-Hill factions met at such short range or exchaged such hot shot. ‘The demonstration reached its climax when most of the Hill men arose and left tl bles as a protest against the criticisms which Col, Lathers, a strong Cleveland man, wes making on the governor's methods, ‘ortunately, for the interests of peace, both Cleveland and Hill hada “tip” that there would be trouble and kept out of the way. NEW YORK'S PUSH FOR THE Fam, A strong delogation goes down today to Wash- ington to impress Congress by their arguments and august presence that this city is the place of all others for the world’s fair, The white whiskers of Chauneey Depew will be seen. in the van like the white plume of King Henry of Navarre, how this busy and witty gen- tleman has become almost necessary to the sue- cess of any public undertaking in New York. While he was absent in Europe on his annual play spell the project languished miserably, and it did not pluck up heart till he returned and began to give it his active attention. Thanks ‘to his endeavors, how. and to a general bracing up of the people in charge, the enterprise has put a cheerful courage on, and is now supposed to be in a most hopeful state. Ican’t eay that the people of New York are much more enthusiastic about the fair than they have ever been; in other words, they are not enthusiastic about it at all. But the mov ment has attained such a momentum that it now goes of itself. THE GONDOLIERS IN A SHABBY VENICE. There is a screw loose somewhere in the management of the later Gilbert & Sullivan's operas, Either the composers themselves, now that they have got rich and famous, have grown indifferent or their business agents have lost their grip. “The Gondoliers” is painfully handicapped by a wretched caste and a shabby stage. ‘The new Park theater, where the per- formances are held, was for some years the home of Harrigan’s exploits in the local drama. It is a cramped and dingy little place, as- sociated with monkey shines and vermin and it is astonishing that any work of dignity should be produced there, ‘Then the caste is made up of inferior stuff, 80 that we are hardly able to judge what the opera might be under favor- able conditions. But apart from the surround- ings the production itself has not revealed any extraordinary beauty and the general verdict seems to be that the opcratic mine of the great Gilbert & Su‘livan firm isrunning to emptyings. A STRIKING CASE OF HEREDITY. An interesting episode in the very Csliberate movement to raise a $100,000 fund for th. Wash- ington memorial arch has been the publication of a very neat and bright little shect in aid of the fund by the second generation of the Century management, ‘The editor is Master Gilder and the next in charge is Master Johnson, son of the assistant editor of the Century, while Master Drake. son of tho superintendent of the art de- partment, has drawn the illustrations, Mr. Galton would have been interested in this peri- odical as an instance of heredity. The boys have gotten out a paper that is really ver creditablo, and I am told that they will bi able to turn in a hundred dollar pofit in aid of the fund. The first edition was ex- hausted in two or three days and been followed by two or three others, The fund itself is now growing steadily at the rate of #1,000 a week, thanks largely to the fact that the World has put its shoulder to the wheel and ven its powerful aid to the movement. ‘The fund m: also thank the Commercial Adver- fiser for much persevering aud effective work inits behalf.
