Division Superintendents and Postal Clerks Hold Conventions Here. The eleven division superintendents of the railway mail service held the first meeting of their convention at the Post Department yesterday. It is the policy of the department to have meetings of the superintendents at stated periods to consider matters for the gen- eral improvement of the service, and hereafter they will meet once a year instead of. once in two years, as formerly. ‘The subjects discussed yesterday after the nddrons of the general superintendent were the heating and lighting of the postal cars and the distribution of the mail of large publishing houses. The meeting organized yesterday by the glection of R. C. Jackson of the second district, New York, chairman; J. P. Lindsay, seventh district, St. Lonis, secretary, with Harry White and C. P. Thomas stenographers. GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT WHITE'S ADDRESS. General Superintendent James E. White stated the object of the meetitig to be to con- sider measures for the further improvement of the railway mail service; to discuss and pass upon the subjects embraced in the call for this convention and other matters relating to the betterment of the service as may be introduced by those present. He congratulated the superintendents upon the improvement in the service and «poke in high praise of the intelligence and efficiency of ec This improvement is due, he said, to the edu- cational and disciplinary measures which have ‘obtained in the service for years, but which have been more thoroughly and generally en- forced during the past two anda half years thau ever before. and to that freedom from re- moval--except for inefficiency, misdemeanors and crime—which has characterized the period mentioned. There measures will be continued. The minds that have responded so quickly and effectually to the demands of the service will continue to expand and garner up the knowledge essential to its highes: development, and no doubt the ratio of improvement that distinguished our service last year will continue, i the opinion’ heretofore expre: authority that the railway mnil service is the ht arm of the Post Office Department. je called attention to the steady increase of the amount of work to be done in the railway mail service and said that with the increase of work comes the necessity for a larger corps of clerks, reorganization of the lines, better and more uniform methods for the transaction of business for the government, comfort and pro- tection of the employes for the handling and safety of the mails while in transit and for im- proved and increased facilities to meet she just demands of public and private business. RAILWAY POSTAL CLERKS. The railway postal clerks held a meeting at the Howard House yesterday to consider the ques- tion of legislation in the interest of the em- plores of the railway mailservice. They want a classification of the service and increased pay, but do not favor the bill indorsed by Second Assistant Postmaster General Bell that was in- troduced last year. This bill provided for a fication, but did not provide for in- pay for the third grade and under. and the men claim that the great bulk of the work is done by men of the third and second grades. What they want is an increase of like propor- tions in all grades. They will also seek to bring about some scheme by which the old men who have served long years in the wervice can be taken off the road and put at work which will be better suited to their vears, free trom exposure, yet giving them the same pay. This scheme Mears a srt of retirement from active service under full pay. ‘the plans for their ideas have been referred to this committee, with power to report, aud they will today cali upon the gengral superintendent of the railway mail service and Postmaster General Wana- maker. They called on Second Assistant Postmaster General Bell to pay their respects and present the matter of legislation before him, Mr. Bell replied at some length, g to the men that he favored the bill introduced last winter, and assuring them that anything they would pre- sént to Superintendent White would be cure- fully considered by him and by the post office authorities. He Prefers to Cook for Himself. To the Editor of The Evening Sta Having just read an article from H. C. I. on tight housekeeping in this evening's Stan I am prompted—if you will kindly allow me spaco— to add a few words in corroboration of the tes- timony therein borne by him, or her, as the case may be. I have tried the plan of being, to some extent, my own cook for the past five months, part of the time preparing all my meals, but now taking one meal per day up town,’ because the facilities for cooking meat possessed by my smalt oil stove are nct very extended. Without going into detail permit me to say that, aside from the economy attending such an arrangement, and the lib- erty of following one’s inclinations regard- ing diet, the enjoyment of knowing that the food one is eating is clean and whole some makes this way of living preferable to the ordinary restaurant and boarding house fare and fully repays for any slight trouble that its preparation may occasion, though in the preparation of oatmeal and milk, bread and butter, eggs, fruits vegetables and the like very little trouble need be experienced. Being one of the man kind some think it strange me to live in this manner, but I ean assure fellow clerks that I have proved the plan to m satisfaction, and I would say to those who do not care to ‘pay high for good, wholesome liv- i 10 thou and de likewise.” A Goverxuent CLERK: = mt The Golden Cross.

People.who have been watching the growth of plans for the establishment in this city of the Methodist National University, and who have wondered what amount of money would be necesnary before such a great institution Could be built, need wonder no more, for Bishop Hurst, chanéellor of the university, has come out with an dppeal for $10,000,000. In the first placé the title of the university bus been set- tled—it is “The American University;” no more, no less. Following this title is the ap- penl, which is addressed to “The members and friends of the Methodist Episcopal church in America.” Attention is directed to the fact that “the establishment of a great and repre- sentative Christian university at the national eapital has been undertaken,” and then the safegnards of organization are referred to. The institution is under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal church and responsible to ite authorities; the chancellor wud at least two- thirds of the trustees must be members of the church and the trustees can only assume office when theit intments have been approved by the general conference of the Methodist pisco} ure “A pool sap tite has been purchased,” says the bishop. “It consists of ninety-two acres ut the northwestern end of Massachu- setts avenue extended, and has cost 3100,000. Thie cum has been contributed by the citizens of Washington. Competent sudges estimate {ts present value largely in excess of the orig- cont.” WHY 18 WASHINGTON? Under the beading, “Why in Washington?” Bithop Hurst makes the following argument: “The fitness of the national capital as an eduoationu center has uot es- caped the /attention of others. With harac- teristic fag-sightedacss George Washington fixed apon it one best location fora truly national university. He spoke and wrote fre- vently or: the importance of it, planned for such an institution and in his will devised stock equal to $25,000 as the foundation ofa fund for his “favorite national univers Generous men added subscriptions to hie bequest. From his days to our own distinguished statesmen and educators have from time to time renewed the advocacy of the Prolect Recently American citizens of the man Catholic church have wisely and gen- erously established an institution here which shall represent ite faith, promote its interests and become the heart of its educational system. ‘We admire their courage und the keenness of their vision, We deem it due to our church, also, and to our position in the. Protestant family, to undertake the establishment of an institution of learning which shall represent the highest educational idealsand that spiritual life on aecount of which the world has deemed us worthy of ite confidence. “Why in Washington? Because of the un- equaled facilities of the national capital as a distributing center for great intellectual and moral forces, and because of the incomparable advantages for scientitic and literary investi- gution presented by the general government. American university life is destined to center here. The Congressional, departmental and technical librarics, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum, the Army and Nav Medical Museum, the great naval observatory, the Departments of Agriculture and Labor, the patent office, the geological survey, the bureau of ethnology, the botanical garden, the museum of hygiene, the department of education and the many subdivirions of scientific investiga tion, under the direct patronage of the gov- ermtnent, are gratuitously furnizhed and con- stanuly multiplying. Money given for educa- tion here mast go farther than unywhere else in the country, because of these priceless ac- cessorics. A student in the American Univer- sity will find outside its walls another univer- sity and constantly within reach. COMMITTED TO THE WORK “The Methodist Episcopal church is thor- oughly committed to the undertaking through the approving action of the bishops, numerous annual conferences, the representatives of our benevolent societies and publishing houses, the editors of our periodicals, the board of control of the Epworth League, members of the ¢acul- ties of many of our largest institutions of learn- ing, a large number of pastors and assurances of support from representativemenand women in all parts of our country. Members of other Christin bodies have given practical ex- pression to their gratification at the inaugura- tion of the work. But we stand before the Protestant churches, and the whole world, as the ‘sponsors in this undertaking, and are pledged to its successful prosecution. We do not phn the responsibility, for we believe it a divine purpose. The history of our chureh roves that ir our best hours of exaltution we lo not fear, but welcome, a providential burden. . A great opportunity now throws its door wide open. We must enter. Oppor- tunity, in such a case, means duty. Duty weans faith and consecration.” PLAN OF THE UNIVERSITY. “Brief reference is made to the plan of the university. It is proposed to receive as students young men and women whose ace- demical siudies have been completed and to furnish them with the amplest facilities for the broadest culture in post graduate and profes- sional studies. ‘We shall endeavor soto plan,” says the bishop, “as to satisfy the supreme need of the multitudes who, having graduated t our colleges, instead of being lost in some ‘eptical wilderness, shall here find, in a pure atmosphere of Christian learning, superior meaiis for securing the best special prepara- tion for their intended career. “The institution we propose is of no ordi- nary magnitude. It is designed to represent the highest form of Christian education, to be an exponent of the best forces of Christian thought and activity, and to express, at this center of our civil and political influence, the firm faith of our people and their devotion to Christ aad His kingdom. We not afford to make if inferior tothe strongest in the Union. That which we offer Him should be the best. In addition to money for the endowment of profesyorships, lectureships, fellowships and studentships, fynds will be required for halls of stience, philosophy, languages and litera- ture, history, law and medicine, besides dor- mitories and Ueepeerod houses. For this purpose we estimate that $10,000,000 must be dedicated to God and humanity. “For this sum,” the bishop goes on, “we ay peal jo the Methodist Episcopal church, with ite two and a quarter million of communicants, with its fifteen thousand ministers and with its Epworth leagues of three hundred and fifty thousand members, soon to become tive hun- dred thousand. In one month, if the sympa- thy and will are equul to the providential o sion and necessity, this entire sum can be given. By such an'act the Methodist Episcopal church can add another rich benefaction to the American people for all time to come. We must do our part to enforce and perpetuate the example of our immortal founders. “To all the Methodist bodies in America, numbering 4,887,000 members, we appeal for help in aiding to establish the American Uni- versity, which, we hope, shall prove a cement- ing bond for our Methodist churches in every pert df the country and shall project into the future the piety of our common Epworth and the learning of our common Oxford. “To all friends of Christian education, under whatever denominational banner, and to all lovers ofProtestant America, we appeal for co- operation in the great work of establishing a central institution, which shall conserve and promote all the interests of our country and our common Christianity. Contributions may be forwarded to Messrs. Hunt & Eaton, agents of the Methodist Book Concern, 150 5th avenue, New York, and to Mexsrs. Cranston & Stowe, agents of the West- ern Methodist Concern, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco. These gentlemen will acknowledge the receipt of all sums and forward them to Hon. Matthew G. Emery, treasurer of the American University, presi- dent of the Second National Bank of this city. ,Information as to the university may be had of Bishop Hurst, 4 Iowa circle.

Silvey, vice president, and P. M. Beeker, secretary-treasurer. The orgapization was effected at a banquet of the Government Printing Office League.
