The Congregation of the Fourth Street M. E. Church last night after the prayer meeting service surprised their pastor, Rev. M. F. B. Rice, by presenting him with handsome pocket communion service set | of solid gold and silver of unique design, engraved with his initials. The presenta- tion speech was made by Mr. George E. Cook, one of the official board of the church. After recovering himself Mr. Rice expressed his appreciation in fitting and | eloquent words, stating that it was a rare gift and one which every pastor needs. It was indeed an uhusual present, for the ladies in charge were obliged to have it made to order in New York. K NER’ Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

There was another very interesting meet- ing at the Salvation Army Hall, 930 Penn- sylvania avenue, last night, led by Staff to/ Capt. and Mrs. Bell, who are in charge of the training garrison at Jersey City. Every seat was filled and people were standing when the staff captain and his wife, both very attractive, mounted the platform, ac- companied by Capt. Taylor, “the golden minstrel,” and his wife and the other ofi- cers. Most of the audience were well dress- ed, but every class was represented, young men being numerous, as at all army meet- ings. Staff Capt. Bell not only sings and speaks effectively, but he plays the cornet, and with Capt. Taylor, who plays the guitar as well as he sings and talks, led | the instrumental as well as the vocal mu- sic, assisted in the first part of the meet- ing by the tambourines and the drums, Those who had atiended ail the previous special meetings found last night's meeting different from them all, such is the versa- tility and variety of the army. The solos were all new and so were the testimonies, | the anecdotes and the humorous remarks, while Staff Capt. and Mrs. Bell plead with the sinners in an entirely original way. Mrs. Bell can sing, although she modestly says she can only tury a tune, and last night she sang and she spoke most im pressively. Her touching appeal to the un- converted brought them right to their feet, to express their desire for salvation. She begged the collection, that characteristic trait of Salvation Army meetings, and boomed the War Cry, the army newspaper, very cleverly, Tonight and tomorrow night Staff Capt. and Mrs. Bell lead again at the hall at 5 o'clock. Tomorrow (Friday) after- noon Mrs. Bell wiil iead a meeting at 2:30 | at Wesley Chapel, Sth and F, intended es- pecially for those who cannot well attend the night meetings, but to which every- body is invited. Auxiliary League of the Salvation Army in Washington, is attending the meetings at the hall, 460 Pennsylvania avenu:, and will gladly receive there or at his house, 517 6th street northwest, the names of those who would like to help the army by joining the league. Members of the league s:b- scribe $5 a year (payable quarterly # de- sired) and promise to pray for the army and to stand up for it and to attend its meetings when convenient, but not neces- sarily to take part in them or to even sit on the platform. Nor does membership in the Auxiliary League necessarily imply <p- proval of all the methods of the army, al- though those members of the league who understand the army methods are us warm- ly in favor of them*as the members of the army themselves. —_—. The Troubles of the Industrial Home School. To the Editor of The Evening Star: During the last year much has been said and written about the trouble of the in- dustrial school, and it has just reached the climax of woe by having its entire appro- Priations turned over to the board of guard- jans. Last year 40 per cent of its appro- priation was given to the guardians, and this amount was to have been made up to the industrial school by the board paid tor it for children placed there by Agent Lewis. The amount, however, has ‘allen very short of the sum adequate to meet the expenses of the school, as the guardians have had a less number of children than it ‘was supposed they would have. In antici- pation of this shortage the expenses of the industrial schoo] were cut in every possible ay, and a reduction of $732—beginning with that of the superintendent—was made in the salaries. Fifty children were dis- charged; some of whom were placed out, and others returned to the poverty from which they came. Sending away half the children, however, did not reduce half the expenses. The expenses of carrying on the farm, running the carpenter shop and the greenhouses, are just the same as they were for a hundred, excepting the reduc- tion in the salaries. It does not take one lump of coal less now to heat the green- houses and buildings than it did before, ard we cannot heat half of them. During this terrible winter of destitution, our rooms have been warm and our beds comfortable, but they have been empty, and the little | © have | | been turned away because there was noth- sufferers that so sadly needed them ing to feed them with. Some of these cases were so desperate, that notwithstanding the order “Do not take any more,” the aka Pe yg veg could not send them away. For instance, a little orphan girl begged with streaming eyes that her little brother might be admitted, father and mother were both dead, and now the uncle who had taken care of the tiny boy was sent to the hospital to die also. “Oh, super- intendent,” cried the little girl, “do take my little brother, and God will bless you for it! and the superintendent did take him. For twenty-five years this school has done a noble work. It has made the chil- dren morally better, and fitted them to get an honest living, and of the many em- ployed in and around the city at present, I do not know of an idler. The school has a carpenter shop with a nearly new engine, and expensive machinery, three green- houses and a farm, where the boys are taught, and it has a sewing department, washing and typewriting for the girls, ali of which must now be given up, as the $10.25 per month, paid by the guardians for their wards, will not support the in- dustries, pay the teachers and buy food and clothing, because they, the do not have enough children. Just why this school, that has kept 100 children, should be cut off entirely, and the reform school for girls, that we are told, “has ac- commodations for but twenty-nine, and at present but three inmates,” should be given $15,610, is a legislative problem that but few can understand. It is certainly a much larger sum than was ever allowed to the industrial school. The former superintend- ent of charities, who frequently visited the school, and watched its workings, in his report for 1892, page 38, in speaking of the cost of industrial trainings, said, “l should distinctly favor having this institution ap- pear by name in the annual appropriation bill and receive a substantive appropria- tion on the same footing as the reform school.” Col. Tracey, the present superin- tendent, also recommends that “the appro- priations be restored to the industrial school.” The methods pursued by the two charities, i.e., industrial and B. G., are very different. With the guardians, the mother, if there be one, must give up all claim to the child. While the pride of the industrial school has been to re-unite families, when the children were able to go into employ- ment, and help the mother bind the homes together, and does not the hope of the Believe me, its central forces are in these children.” Do not break up industrial schools, create them, and fix habits of industry in the children. Give them something to do, and something to amuse them, and you. will save the country from bomb throwers and dynamite fiends, and you will save souls aiso. Gut fix, by constant training, in- dustrial habits. They are the wings on which effort flies to success. Finally, this school has cost the govern- ment very little comparatively. It was a gift, and for many years the children were kept by voluntary contributions. The prop- jerty now, counting it at 25 cents per foot, will amount to $182,750. The government could well afford the appropriations it has given in the last few years, for the school has paid it back at compound interest in the improved morals of the children. K. B.

L been disposed of, a lengthy and intensely interesting letter from the mission in Corea was read by Mrs. Dickenson of the Dea- coness Home. The condition of women and girls in that country and the work that is being done to educate and Christianize them were most graphically portrayed. The efforts of missionaries are fully appreciated by of the women, who not only receive Gospel with readiness, but are eager to work in Corea, and is gathering up the ne- glected little children, supporting and car- ing for them. Mrs. Beiler gave an interest- ing Bible reading and talk, full of encour- agement and help. Mrs. Hitt, president of the northwestern branch, followed with @ j talk about the work in India, and drew a | comparison between the women sitting around her with their Bibles and “holy” books in hand reading and listening to their teachings, while in that land no wo- man is allowed to touch or handle the Shas- tas or Vedas or to know anything of their teachings. ioxtracts were read from @ Hiindoo catechism, in which the youth of | India are taught that the most vile and ac- cursed of all creatures is a woman. Home Mixsion Work. | A meeting of the Home Missionary Socie | ty followed immediately after, and im con- | nection with that work Mrs. Rice gave ah account of some of her labors and ex- periences in diferent cities.

E. Curtis, the Asstst- ant Secretary of the Treasury. A handsome dinner was given last even- ing at the University Club by a nun-ber of graduates of Trinity College, Hartford, in honor of Wm. E.

American Vessels Can Go Up to the w ves Rio Unmotested. A Rio Janeiro dispatch dated yesterday and copyrighted by the United Press says: American vessels that desire to come to the piers of the city can now do so without being interfered with by the insurgents. The negotiations to settle the troubles be- tween the insurgents and the government by arbitration, in which Admiral Benham was acting as a private citizen, are at pres- sent at a standstill. This is probably due to the fact that Admiral Da Gama’s nephew | was killed early Monday morning, while engaged in a foray along the shore on @ ug. The American minister here, Mr. Thomp- son, today sent a long secret cable dispatch to the State Department at Washington. Communication with Santos is uninter rupted. The Episcopal Council at Richmond, Va, last night elected Rev. Dr. John B. New- ton assistant bishop of Virginia on the fourth ballot. Rev. Dr. Lewis Burton re- ceived the second highest vote, and Rev. Robert Gibson, the third. Dr. Newton is rector of the Monumental Church in Rich- mond, and a native o! tered the ministry. He is very popular. He is about fifty-five years of age, and is what the Episcopalians term, a good “prayer- book churchman.” In the discussion be- fore the council the opinion was very ——_ expressed that only a native born of Virginia, the idea being that he would best understand the people and their needs. —_-o2 —______ Cobble Stone Between the Tracks. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: The article in your columns of the 30th wherein it says, “Other per mits have since been granted, but no one objected until the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company applied for @ permit to pave between its tracks in cer- tain parts of Eckington, with cobble, &c., &c.,” is very misleading and incorrect. During the summer of 1893 the Eckington railroad relaid their tracks on New York avenue between 7th street and Florida ave- nue. This was done under a permit granted by the Commissioners. A comparatively new asphalt pavement was removed by the Eckington company, and it was re placed by an ugly cobble stone affair, not- withstanding the protests of the |holders along the avenue. Two petitions, | Signed by a majority of tae property hold- ers, were gotten up and presented to the | Commissioners, protesting against this out- | Tage. Eviden: the Eckington y |had ft in carte-blanche fashion. At the | time it was said that the cobble stone be- tween the tracks was only a “temporary” pavement, and the track itself was con- sidered in the same category, under the pretense of a change, in the near future, in the motive power.’ This piece of track, So far as the sleepers and bailast are con- cerned, is a fine specimen of railroad track construction. Yet it was only a “tem- porary” track. It may be in a here | that the property holders along New York | avenue do not know the difference between a@ “temporary” track and any other track. Evidently that is what the Commissioners and the Eckington Railroad Company think. There is one fact fairly clear to our minds, that is, we don’t live in Eckington, for if we did, our protest would have received from the Commissioners the same stroke of Mghtning, that is, a revocation of the permit forthwith The piece of vandalism on New York ave- nue merits the attention of Congress, WwW. Ww. Tt. omnneeeeiio The Price of Bread. To the Editor of The Evening Star: During this prevalence of hard times and hurger among the poor it does not seem to have occurred to any one that the price of wheat has been rarely ever so low as at | Present, while the price of bread is as high as when wheat was at its highest. The best of flour can be bought for 9 | per barrel, which will make at least 200 loaves of bread, and it is easy to compute what it will come to at the prices now | paid. | Bakers will gladiy exchange bread for flour, pound for pound, and it seems to me | that no law could be enacted more salutary than one regulating bakers’ prices.
