At the Church of the Covenant last evening alargely attended meeting of the Evangelical Alliance, -an organization which proposes, through concentration of church energics and effort upon some common line of work, to far- ther the cause of Christianity in the world, was held. The feature of the meeting was the large attendance of young people. Dr. Pitzer, president of the local branch of the alliance, presided. Mr. William E. Dodge, president, and Dr. Josiah Strong, secretary of the American Alliance, were also present. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Dr. . the author of “Our Country.” The trouble Sich the churches today, aid Dr. Strong, was that they paid more attention to the littie lines which divided them than to the end which all were striving for. They wero content to study creeds in the abstract, and the chief cause of the Salvation Army's success was the fact that it combined philanthropy with Christianity, ‘This was the age of combination, and if the church aimed at universal evangel- ization it must concentrate ite efforts toward and June, ends.

Mr. David A. Chambers, who has served the school for twenty-nine yesrs as librarian, made a brief talk upon the history of the library and spoke of its uses and the needs for enlargement of this fenture of Sunday school education. He favored the idea of making it more like a reading room, to be kept open during the even- ings of the week. His talk was exceedingly bright.and greatly appreciated by the audience. Daring the exercises the superintendent, Mr. Bristow, called upon any in the audience who were in any way interested in Calvary school at ite organization thirty years ago to rise.

Tho recent abolition of the office of weigher and inspector of hay is probably the first giving way of the old system of weighers, measurers and inspectors, which Alexandria has inherited from the old municipal system of England. One of the first things done in an old-fashioned munictpality was the making of laws regulating trade, and Alexandria has now in its municipal weights and mensures of coffee brought from London in 1744 the oldest material evidences of these methods now to be shown in the United States. The city ordinances formerly author- ized the appointment of measurers of lumber, firewood, fish, flour, beef and pork, oysters, to- Daceo and hay, but the work of the inspectors of flour, tobacco, fish, beet and pork has long, been taken in charge ‘by. the state of Virginia, ‘The office of inspector of hay is now abolished and that of inspector of oysters remains in beyance, unu: 1d becoming obsolete. The two measuring and inspecting offices which #1 remain—those of firewood and of lumber- filled by the municipal elections, which give effect to the democratic primaries, and it is not likely they will be abolished for some time to come.

Cook Monday of last week lin, Jefferson, Green, Lee, Church and South | was discussed at a meeting of the Journeymen Bakers’ Beneficial Association at the Odeon Hall yesterday morn Mr. Ling being a member of the association. As published in Tae Sran, Ling, who lived at Trinidad near the Bladensburg road, was on his way at3 o'clock in the morning with an empty bag to gather coal which bad fallen from the gondolas of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. Ashe was passing though the woods he was seen by Policeman Cook, and the latter fired, the ball striking Ling in the foot, the officer stating that he was led to believe that the wounded man was stealing, and that he did not fire until he had first commanded Ling to It. ‘Mr. Fred. ‘Schmetz presided and Mr. John Doyle acted as secretary, and after the object of the meeting bad been announced by the chair Messrs. J. T. Doyle, Ernest H. Myer and Herman Huth were appointed a committee to report proper action to the meeting. Averies of resolutions were reported unanimously adopted to the effect that Journeymen Bakers’ Beneficial Association pro- tested agzinst the shooting of Mr. @ jour- neyman baker, without a previons endeavor to make an arrest. The astociation branded the shooting as cowardly and declared that the offi- cer had perjured hjmeelf.

The resolutions further detailed the circumstances of the shooting, and after con- demning the authorities for not™ making an in- Yestigation in the ease declared that Officer Cook should be dismissed from the police force, “as he is not, in our opinion, a proper man to ard the interests of the people.” The reso- lutions concluded by the ennouncement of a determination “to place this matter in the hands of a competent attorney to push it before the courts.” Mr. Doyle said that many members of the as- sociation were absent, but he had no doubt that afl who were absent concurred in the policy in- dicated.
