A natural idea was for each one to be him- self with duty to God leading. At many of the social gatz.crings there were many wall flowers and even in the church there was formality and stiffness. One would think that Christixnity re- tarded a natural flow of spirits. When the social gathering were rid of the sentiment those who were the wall flowers would become interested | and take their part in the proceedings, In order that this may be successfully done the persons who are charged with the management of the socie! affairs should be selected with care. ‘Those only who can make othcrs feel at home inthe church shonld be selected. For man | is a sociable creature and hie desires! naturally tend to this direction, but is hindered | and restrained by formality. Sociability should | be taught tae children, and then it will per- | meate the air of the Sunday school. The work | of the social department of the league was never at an end. MR. CONNOR'S TALK. The last paper was read by George W. Conner, jr., of Baltimore on “How ought the league fasten the connectional character of Methodism.” He said that the precotious- | ness of the four-year-old child in taking up a question which the church had not yet decided wax wonderful. In liken- ing the Epworth League to « young child, with ite growing enthusiasm and strong limbs ready to take up the errands of mercy, the speaker drew a very pretty; simile. The Epworth league was a connecting | link between the Sunday schoul and the church. When the young man began to wear his long coat and the young girl to enter into the fashions and they began to get too big for Sunday echool and would naturally drift away from Christ, the Epworth League offered a home for thei desires. Mr. Connor complained of the spirit of congregationaliem rather than the methodism prevailing. Each one seemed to have his own boat to row in his church. The interest was entirely local. Little was known of the work of the neighboring church and there was little social intercourse between the Methodist churches. There were mectings of the min- istry, but none of the layity except now and then ‘a mass meeting when tho people did noy mass and the principal object of which seemed a collection. Perhaps this was because the laiety had no voice in general assem. blies. This might be a subject for the assem- blies to consider. The speaker recommended more connec- tional, social work and less collectional work. TONIOHT'S PROGRAM.

Little Dora Stearman Disappeared Mysteri- ously Yesterday Afternoon. Little Dora Stearman is missing, and her parents are in aad state of anxiety. The little girl is only five years of age, and is the daugh- ter of E. Stearman, who is a tailor at 508 G street northwest. The last seen of little Dora was yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock when sue was playing with her four-year-old brother in the —_ park by the pension office. Mrs, Stearman went a few minutes after this to get the children and found only the little by at the entrance to the park. He said that he had left his sister inside the park. A search for the little girl, however, was futile and the now alarmed mother in- formed her husband, who speedily called on the police for Up to. three o'clock today, however, absolutely no trace of the lost child had been found. When lost little Dora was dressed in a white dress with red trimmings and a small red wtraw hat, Sho has light hair. Today the police and father have continued the search. The girl was found this afternoon. NEITHER COULD SHAVE, But One of Them Carried a Razor Just the Same. Last Monday evening near 2ist and E streets there wasa fight between two colored men, Isaac Locker and Lewis Beverly, during which the latter's head was painfully bruised. A razor figured in the affair, but was not used with telling effect, for Beverly kept his distance so well that the razor did not reach him. Soon after tho affair was over the razor was found in the grass between the scene of the fight and Locker's home, where Locker had throw n it, Policeman Wortz learned of the affair and today he hai Locker in the Police Court for as- tault and concealed weapons. Locker's ex- planation was that he struck Beverly in self- defense. “When I struck him,” said Locker, razor jumped out of his pocket. “I haven't owned a razor for twenty-five years,” said Beverly. “Who shaves you? “Different barbers.”* “the “Who shaves vo! “I get shaved at the barber's on 18th street.” Judge Miller fined Locker $50 or sixty days for having the razor and imposed a fine of $20 in the assault case. ——.__.

Yesterday afternoon the commissioners to the general assembly had a pleasant little recrea- tion after theirarduous day of attendance upon the sessions at the New York Avenue Church. ‘This came in the form of a reception at the Co- lumbian University and was lnrgely attended by the members of the assembly. The reception was one tendered to the mem- bers of the faculty of the new school graduate studies by the president, the overseers and the trustees of the universi! An invitation had been extended to the commissioners to be pres- ent, and there was a general acceptance of the invitation both by them and by the Indies who are here in the city with them. The scene that met the eyes of the guests as they entered the handsome university building at the corner of 15th and H streets yesterday ater noon was an unusually pleasant and attractive one. The broad corridors and handsome rooms of the big building were thrown wide open and the heartiest kind of a welcome was extended to all the guests of the occasion, A num- ber of young ladies, students of the insti- tution, were on hand to present the arrivals with dainty mbbon badges of the colors of the university. Upon the main staircase Was stationed a stringed orchestra that dis- coursed a delightful program of music during the hours of the reception. Inside one of the rooms near to the entrance door stood President Welling and beside him were the members of the new faculty, to whom each of the guests was introduced in cordial, hearty way. The —_intro- ductions of the commissioners to the general assembly were all made by Dr. Bartlett, the chairman of the local committes of arrange- ments, and then the guests were passed on to the pars of the building, where they were met by the members of the other faculties of the university and the freedom of the institution was given to them right royally. The large lecture room of the university was turned for the time being into a banauet room and a bounti- ful spread of ices and strawberries was served to all, while in an adjoining room on big table stood several generous bowls of punch and lemonade. The hours of the reception were from 4 to 6 and the large crowd of guests, large enough to fill the capacious building to its farthest limit, spent the two hours very pleasantly wandering about through the rooms chatting with old friends and making new acquaintances. _Alto- gether the occasion was a most delightful one.

Pre: jent Young Has No Advices of the Louisville Occurrence. President Young of the National Base Ball League has not been officially informed of the forfeiture of the gamo at Louisville yesterday to the home team owing to the failure of the Chicago club to appear to play the game as scheduled. A dispatch from Chicago says the game scheduled for yesterday was transferred to another date before the beginning of the sea- son, but as matters of that kind are entirely an arrangement of the clubs interested, Mr. Young has no record of the transfer, and, according to his schedule, the game stands as scheduled, viz., at Louisville. The rule is for the umpire to notify President Young by mail of games declared forfeited, but no such notice has been received, but it will probably reach him tomorrow. ae WINSHIP RESIGNS. The Superintendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Sends in His Resignation. Mr. Henry C. Winship, general manager of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, sent in bis res- ignation this afternoon to the board meeting of the trustees of the bonds of 1843, Mr. Winship in his letter of resignation says: “The only reason I have to offer for this action is that I find that I cannot to the management the time and attention which I think it requires consistent with my other in- terests and obligation: “In severing my connection with you and the Chesapeake and Ohio canal permit me to extend to you, individually and collectively, my sincere thanks for your uniform consid: eration and courtesy during the period of my connection and to express my hearty wishes for the future success of the company and the management of my successor; also to assure you that every effort will be made by myself and the other interests identified with me to assist and further the business and interests of the canal. “In conclusion, permit me to call your atten- tion to the claims of Mr. George L. Nicholson, engineer and superintendent of the canal, for appointment us my successor, and to assure you that his selection will be a wise and proper one, as, during the term of my management, I have found him an honest, com- petent, faithful, industrious engineer and superintendent and gentleman and think hia selection would be greatly to the interes! future prosperity of the canal. and I trust y will select him as the general manager of ‘the ‘Chesapeake and Obto Canal Company’ in my place for reasons stated. During the past few days strong pressure has been exerted to have Mr. Winship alter bis de- termination to resign. There will be some opposition to the accep- tance of the resignation, but as Mr. Winehip declares that his action is final, his resignation will be accepted. MR, DID NOT WORK.

Se Recognition of Police. “The police parade and review in Baltimore last Tuesday was of practical benefit,” said » member of the Washington force who was over there. “Five hundred men were in line and they were reviewed by the mayor and police officials, In addition to the review a number of bronze medals were presented to officers for individual acts of bravery or efficiency. There was also a gold medal presented to one of the olticers by a citizen for aspecial act of bravery. “If the police of this city were treated in the same way,” added the officer, “I think it would stimulate the men ina manner that would make the force the best in the countr; — Not to Be Tried.
