WARDER’S FUNERAL, Services Held at St. John’s Church This Morning. The funeral of Mr. Benjamin H. Warder took place this morning at St. John’s Church on Lafayette square. Rev. Dr. Mackay- Smith read the service, and there was a large attendance of those who have known the deceased. The pallbearers were: Gen. Asa Bushnell of Springtield, Ohio, Mr. J. J. Glessner and Mr. C. A. Coolidge of Chicago, Mr. Henry E. Pellew, Representative R. R. Hitt, Capt. John R. Rodgers, Dr. W. W. Johnston and Mr. John R. McLean. Mr. Werder’s remains arrived on the Cunard S. S. Lucania on Sunday in New York, and were brought to Washington the same day. The remains were met in New York by Gen. Asa S. Bushnell and Mr. and Mrs. Ward Thoron. Benjamin Head Warder, the unexpected news of whose sudden death last January oceasioned such general and sincere sorrow to his many friends here and at his former home in Springfield, Ohio, was born of Quaker parents in Germantown, Pa., No- vember 15, 1824. His father, Jeremiah War- der, as well as his mother, Ann Aston, were American by ancestry for several genera- tions, and they, as their forefathers, gave testimony in their lives of the same jus- lice, temperance, fortitude and wisdom, virtues so signally marked in his. year 1880 his father moved with his family then little more than a country village, and since then this fam- lly has been identitied with every move- ment for the intellectual and material ad- vancement of that town. Mr. Warder received his education at the Springfield Seminary and at the Cincinnati College; afterward for a short time he read law, but failing health demanding of him a less confining occupation he returned to Springfield, and with his father en: ed in operating the Kenton milis at Lagonda, near that town. In 1850, shortly after his father’s death, he changed the character of these mills, and began there the manufac- ture of agricultural machines, and since then, in connection with s' sociates, wisely and successfully this work, and although in ree had retired from the active mana the corporation, death he gave it the invaluable aid of his counsel and advict. During the many years he was actively engaged in thi the welfare of his employes was constantly before his mind, and with untiring and un- selfish devotion he studied to improve their intellectual and material condition. To this end he prominently interested himself in the organization and conduct of a savings bank; he encouraged the purchase of home- steads by the laboring classes, and identi- fied their welfare with that of the town. Nor was he unmindful of the lack of op- portunity possessed by them for literary Fecreation and improvement. After several Years of unsuccessful effort to interest the municipal government in the matter, at his own expense he provided a site, and on it erected a handsome and wel apted build- ing for a free library and reading room, which he gave to the town. During the darkest days of the civil war Mr. Warder responded to the call of his country, and with characteristic modesty and unselfish patriotism, refusing a higher command, served as a lieutenant in a com- pany of which the captain was a foreman in one of the departments of his factory. In December, 1867, Mr. Warder married Miss Ellen N. Ormsbee of Springfield. To them one son and four ughters were born. Three daughters survive him. His residence in Washington began ten years ago, and from the beginning of it he active- ly interested himself in works of mercy; at the date of his death he was a director of the Emergency Hospital and the treasurer of the Church Orphanage of St. John's parish. So much interested was he in this last institution that several years ago he gave it a country home in the vicinity of Washington that the children might have the benefit of country life during the long, hot summers. Though not prominent in the movement he was deeply interested in and gave largely toward the work among the negroes, and scarcely is there an in- stitution or charity of any sort but ac- knowledges his generosity and benevolence. In appearance he was tall and fine look- ing, his bearing was marked by dignity and ; in manner he was courteous and in action decisive yet considerate of the rights and feelings of othe His char- acter was full of generous sympathies and wise benevolence. nd Indian Teachers. The civil service commission has fncor- porated into its report to the Senate a para- graph commending the ection of Secretary Smith in the matter of the Chilocco Indian school. The commission complained that in the appointments of assistant teachers to the same duties as performed by teachers continued t years he of the civil service law referring to the In- dian service, as teachers are within the classified service, while assistant teachers are not. When this matter was brought to | the attention of the Secretary, he at once notified Commissioner Browning that hei after candidates for the position of as: st lant teacher should be certified by the civil | service commission, excepting in cases | where Indians might be found fitted for the position. Last night, about 10 o'clock, Sadie Duf- fey of 475 New York avenue and C. R. Jones were slightly hurt at 3d street and New York avenue northwest.

HE INSISTS THAT IT IS NOT SERIOUS London Police Find a Mysterious Tin Box. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS ae LONDON, March 7.—Mr. Gladstone is seriously ill as the result of a chill. According to the statements made in cornection with his sickness, the ex- premier walked home from Brookes’, No. 60 St. James street, yesterday evening,after dining there with his late secretaries. As a result, Mr. Gladstone contracted a chill, and upon reaching home had to be hur- ried off to bed. In spite of Mr. Gladstone's desire that a physician should not be sum- | moned, claiming that his indisposition was orly a slight matter, a doctor was sum- moned and Mr. Gladstone was put under treatment. This morning Mr. Gladstone’s condition was such that another physician was sum- moned to attend him, and this afternoon one of the physicians in attendance upon the distinguished patient gave a statement to the newspapers which indicates that Mr. Gladstone's illness is undoubtedly aeri- cus. Mr, Gladstcne’s physician said that absence of a high fever, however, indi- cated that there was no great danger at present. Further details In regard to the manner in which Mr. Gladstone contracted his pr-s- «nt sickness show that he left Brookes’, which was highly heated, at a late hour, and that the ex-premier walked home through St. James Park, though the night was a chilly one for a’ young and robust | men to venture out after leaving a heated club and dining with a number of friends. ‘This morning Mr. Gladstone was found to be suffering considerably from hoarseness and was kept in bed in spite of his remon- strances. Mr. Gladstone insists that he is only suffering from a temporary indispo- sition; that he will be all right In a day or so. His physicians do net take this view of the case, and while they say that the | great English statesman is in no danger at present, they will not allow him to leave his bed until a considerable improvement has taken place in his condition. Naturally, the report of Mr. Gladstone's iliness has spread with remarkable rupid- ity, and from many quarters,inquiries are already coming in, asking for particulars | concerning the distinguished sufferer’s health, and expressing the hore that he, will soon be on the high road to recovery. Herbert's Gladstone's Office. Mr. Herbert Gladstone, secretary of home office, has accepted the position of first commissioner of public works, made vacant by the fact that the Right Hon, George Shaw-Lefevre has been appointed president of the local govern- ment board. Mr. Herbert Gladstone, how- ever, will not have a seat in the eabinet, although his predecessor was a cabinet minister. Mr. MeCarth Attitude. There are symptoms of volt among leading supporters of the McCarthyites in regard to the attitude of Mr. Justin Mc- Carthy, leader of the Irish nationalist party, in the question of the premiership. ‘The attitude of Mr. McCarthy is denounced | as showing weakness and as a serious error of judgment. A MYSTERIO! TIN BOX, London Police Believe They Found a Bomb. LONDO’ March 7.—The police of Lon- don in general and of the rticular are suffering from another dyna- mite scare, but their experience in this line has led people to look with suspicion on any explosive mystery unearthed by the blue coats of London. According to the story told by Superin- tendent Richard W. Steggles of the police division referred to a tin box supposed to contain dynamite or some other high ex- plosive was found this morning upon one of the window sills of the historical Bow street police station, almost fronting the nore famous Bow street police court. The tin box is described as being two inches deep, one inch broad, and as hav- ing a round hole in it from which protruded portions of a burned fuse. The discovery of the box was made by one of the poll men attached to the Bow street police sta. tion, and he immediately gave the alarm The inspectors and superintendent were called and the box was taken to the tremity of the yard of the police station, where it was watered for a long time be- fore anybody cared to subject it to a closer examination. The discovery of the alleged bemb was signaled to Scotland Yard, and ement cf| from there the news spread that an at- yet until the day of his | tempt ad been made to blow up Bow street pelice station by means of a dynamite tomb. : In fact, the startling find was soon mag- nitied into a report that the Bow street police station had actually been the scene of a dynamite explosion. Gradually, however, the effects of the scare passed off and the superintendeng of police, assisted by several inspectors “and sergeants, made a careful examination of the alleged dynamite bomb. When the box was opened {t was found to contain a cartridge, supposed to be loaded with some high explosive, though, it should be added, the skeptics insist that the cartridge only contained ordinary gunpowder. In any case, the tin box was found to be blackened with the smoke and fire from the burned fuse, and there is still some doubt as to whether an attempt of a very weak nature made to cause an explosion at the Bow street police station, or whether some pr: tical joker has been having considerable fun by giving the London police another bad scare. In any case, the police of the station men- tioned take the matter very seriously as a matter of profound mystery, and insist | somebody made an attempt to cause an ex- plosion at the Bow street police station. Of course, the usual reports about an- archists and desperate conspiracies are in circulation, but it will take considerable strong evidence to convince the general public that the policemen of Bow street have not been the victims of the practical joker. ACQUITTED THE MANAGERS. Bank Officials of Australia Cleared of Pending Charges, MELBOURNE, Australia, March 7.Sir Matthew Davies, the chairman of the Mercantile Bank of Australia; Mr. Mil- lidge, late manager of the bank; Mr. Muntz, a director of the same institution, who have been on trial, charged with conspiracy in issuing a false balance sheet, were all acquitted today. The Mercantile Bank of Australia was incorporated here on June 7, 1877, with a nominal capital of £100,000, In November, 1886, an office was opened in London and on December 4, 181, the bank failed, with the nilities ‘to unsecured and estimated net assets of £56,- It was claimed at the time the bank | failed that its stoppage was the result of the collapse of many old building societie in Australia, but later the oflicial receiver said that there were matters connected with the management of the bank which demanded careful inquiry. This led to the present proceedings and the acquittal of the bank officials already referred to. A Cable to New Zealand. ULINGTO: Z., March 7.—The ates Who have been attending the con- ference called to discuss the intercolonial | postal and telegraph service have passed a resolution in favor of a Pacific cable to America, the route to be via Samoa, Fan- ning Island and Honolulu to Vancouver. It is said that this route is likely to be supported by the governments of the United ates, Germany, France, Great Britain and Canada, L Ll Interest in the Affair. Much interest was expressed at the Cap- itol today concerning the news from Aus- tralia that the authorities there are mo’ ing to ‘ure cable connection with the United States. This has been considered an important matter for several years, and its importance has been emphasized by eurrence: f the past year in the Hawaii Islan The is new » proposition be- fore Congress looking to the establishment parliamentary | 3" division in | creditors _ of | of such a line, but Senator Morgan, chair- man of the Senate committee on foreign re- lations, said he had no doubt this govern- ment would be willing to co-operate with | the Australian authorities in an effort in this direction. He said further: “I expect to see the Pacific ocean bisected with a cable. A line has been surveyed from our western coast to Hawaii, and has been found to be per- | fectly feasible, and there is little doubt that the conditions beyond are likewise good. A cable such as is proposed would be of great advantage to our commerce. We ought to lose no opportunity to control the business of the Pacific, and if we would take the proper steps we would secure the rapidly jincreasing trade of China and India, as | Well as that of the Pacific islands.” He advanced the idea that the tariff bill ought to be so framed as to discriminate in favor of those countries and others using silver money, and thought if this were done that with the Nicaragua canal built and a cable constructed the United States would soon be able to take the bulk of the trade of those countries from Burope. Senator Sherman coincided with Senator Morgan as to the desirability of a Pacific cable, but said that the unsettled condition of affairs in Hawaii might have the effect of delaying its construction. Argentine to Economize. BUENOS AYRES, March 7.—The Argen- tine Times announces that the cabinet has agreed to economize to $7,250,000 in the budget as already voted, and, in addition, the cabinet has agreed to a further saving of $10,000,000, Kossuth Regaining Strength. BERLIN,March 7.—Louis Kossuth, the well-known Hungarian patriot, whose con- dition of health has recently caused some anxiety to his friends, passed a restless night. This morning, however, the distin- guished patient is calmer, and his attend- ants say that he is regaining strength. a “LITTLE LOUISA” BEHIND BARS, Arrest of Three Clever Female Crooks at Chicago. CHICAGO, March 7.—Louisa Bigelow, Anne Farley and Nellie O'Brien, three of the cleverest female crooks in the country, were arrested last night and lodged in jail. So bold were the women that they were plying their pocket picking in front of the United States Express building, within half a block of the city hall, Each one of the women is a specialist in thieving, but the noted one is Louisa Bigelow, better known in police circles as “Little Louisa.” She derives her name from Tom Bigelow, the notorious forger, to whom she was married years ago, and with whom she traveled all over this country and Europe. the pair were arrested in all the principal (cities in the o!d world, and for a clever job in London the upper lobe of Louisa’s lett ear Was cut off. Bigelow was accounted a j very clever forger, and amassed consid- | erable money, which was invested in Wind- | sor, Canada, and today “Little Louisa’ is worth $40,000, Her home is at Windsor, | from which she makes predatory excur. | sions. Before she took the name of Bige- sa was the wife of Barney Auron, ce Bigelow's death has continually consorted with Jimmie McGuire, alias Cap" Roach, the notorious “west side gopher.” Of late years Louisa has given Chicago a wide berth, but the world's faig | and the crowds proved t ch a eee ae Pi oo much attrac- —_.___ THE PATTERSON GANG. Finally Run Dow: After an Infamous er. LEPANON, Ind., Marck 7.—When Homer Patterson, leader of the famous Patterson gang of horse thieves and burglars, was captured and sent to prison about two years | aso it was thought the gang had been bro- ken up, end for a year or more nothing was heard of them. About six months ago, however, they be- gan a series of robberies, and since then their depredations may be counted by the score. It was no unusual thing for them to enter three or four stores or residences in a single night. As a result the city council doubled the police force and everything pos- sible was done to capture them, but for ;Many months they succeeded in’ avoiding arrest. A few weeks ago William Worts, an ac- complice of Patterson, was captured and sent to Michigan City.’ After his arrest he gave the officers information which aided them in locating the rendezvous, and a few | days ago it was surrounded by officers and four of its inmates—Elmza Burnes, Elma King, Jesse Arbogast and Charles ‘West— were captured. Only two escaped, and last [week Jesse Hall was caught robbing the house of Charles Day, Nothing was heard of Elmer Fleming, the last member of the sans, until last night, when he came into town driving a horse and buggy he had stolen at Colfax, and which he offered for sale. He was at once recognized, and after an exciting chase of four miles, during which several shots were fired, he was cap- tured, —— BALDWIN ‘Ss CLAIM. Mexico to Pay Her Indemnity for Her Husband's Murder. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 7.—After six years of diplomatic negotiations, the famous claim of Mrs. Janet M. Baldwin of this city against the government of Mexico is about to be settled. Henry M. Clement, her attorney, has left for Washington to Participate in the concluding negotiations. The claim is for indemnity for the murder of Leon Baldwin, the claimant's husband, committed over six years ago by outlaws under the leadership of Eracho Bernal. The sum demanded was $100,000, but the figure | Is to be fixed in conferences soon to be held | by representatives of the two governments at Washington, eee MR. DOYLE DENIES IT, Service Controversy With a Postmaster. The Hamilton (Ohio) Democrat 2 printed a long article headed | Malice” and directed against the civil serv- ice commission. It was called forth by the {report of Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt |to the Senate, incorporating the report of Secretary John T. Doyle on the investiga- tion into the post office troubles at Hamil- ton. It contained an interview with the | Hamilton postmaster, Mr. John E, Lohman, |in which he is quoted as having violently attacked Mr. Doyle. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Doyle sent Mr. Lohman a letter as fol- lows: “My attention has been called to an arti- cle in the Democrat of March 2 respecting | my official conduct in a recent investigation |of charges against you of removals for po- litical reasons. Ordinarily 1 would pay no heed to mere newspaper slander, but as you ere quoted as having made certain state- ments in an official capacity respecting me which are not true, it is proper that I should give you an opportunity to disavow them as publicly as they have been made. ou say that I visited Hamilton at the instigation of the editor of the Hamilton Daily Republican. The order of the civil service commission directing me to stop at Hamilton on my return to Washington from Toledo was based upon the complaint of Mr. Rybolc, which, if true, showed a pur- pese on your part to discriminate against persons whom you did not wish to appoint for political reasons, by requiring compli- ance with unusual and seemingly unnece: ary ccnditions. ‘The statement that I was ‘entertained’ at Hamilton by the editor of the Republican ‘for twenty-four hours’ be- fore I saw you is not true. I was not ‘en- tertained’ by him or by any other person |in any manner whatever during any portion [of my stay in Hamilton. I called at the | post office and inquired for you immediate- ly upon my arrival in Hamilton, and I was not aware until now that you ‘hunted’ me up. You state that I held my ‘court’ in ‘the office of a leading republican politician.’ |I am at a loss to know to whom you refer, as I tock no testimony except at my room (at the hotel and at your office, with the ex- | ception of the statement of one gentleman | whom I visited at his office. You state that 1 ‘publicly expressed an unfavorable opin- ion’ of you before I met you. This is false. I expressed no such opinion to any one at any time. If my report fs ‘a tissue of false- hoods and misrepresentations,’ you had the fullest opportunity of knowing and answer- ing it at the time, for I submitted all the testimony to you for such answer. Your statement as to partisanship on my part is arcely worth my con ment, in view of the t that I am of the me party as your- elf, and we both hold commissions from the me President. one quoted in these reflecticns upon my | duct and that you will disavow them a licly as they have been made. Oth shall feel obliged to ask the comm bring the facts to the attention of the Post- master General. The impropriety of one officer of the government slandering the offi- cial conduct of another in the public press is so obvious that I am sure it will not be tolerated by those who have the authority, and whose duty it is to see that the public | service is not brought into dispute.” ast that you have not been correctly con- M.

BUSINESS TRANSACTED The thirty-first session of the noted Washington annual conference of the M. E.Church convened this morning at 9 o'clock in the handsome Mt. Zion M. E. Church, West Washington, Bishop John F. Hurst, D. D., LL.D., in the chair. The conference began with the celebration of the holy sac- rament, conducted by Bishop Hurst, a: sisted by the presiding elders, Revs. Benj. Brown, jr., C. G. Key, T. L. Thomas, John Reid, W. H. Brooks and Holmes. At the close of the communion the conference be- gan its business session. Rev. G. W. 8. Peck, D. D., the secretary of the last con- ference, called the roll. The bar of the con- ference was fixed at the third tier from the altar, Bishop Hurst's Opening Remarks. The bishop, in his opening remarks, re- gretted his inability to be present at the conference reception, but he was glad that everything passed off so pleasantly. He complimented Mt. Zion M. E. Church as an earnest, active, strong church. Speaking to the conference, he said these cheerful faces and appearances didn’t indicate that they had seen any “hard times,” but “later re- ports” would tell better. He urged the membership to be cheerful under all cir- cumstances, He hoped to hear the various collections reported in larger sums than last year. He wanted the presiding elders to expunge from their reports all allusions to “hard times.” He spoke encouragingly of the missionary work, and cited that in far away India 18,00) converts had been the result of the great missionary work. He paid high tribute to the pioneer missionary, Rev. br. Butler, an Irishman, who tirst went out to India in 1856. His address pro- duced a marked effect upon the conference. Rev. G. W. W. Jenkins offered a resolution congratulating the conference upon having the honorable and distinguished Bishop Hurst to preside at this conference. The resolution was adopted by a rising vote. Getting Down to Business. Rev. G. W. S. Peck, D.D., and Rey. Sin- gleton R. Hughes were nominated for secretary and the former was declared elected by the bishop, he having received 56 votes and Rev.

Thursday morning at 11 o'clock was the hour set apart for reception of monies from Daughters of Conference. Rev. Perkins, the conference treasurer, created much discus- sion as how the various monies should be collected. He was undecided how to expe- dite the business of the collection, when the Rev. W. W. Foreman of Maryland, the tallest and most quick at repartee in the conference, arose and said: “Mr. Chai: man, some men don’t know what the: want,” which brought forth a voiley of laughter, and the good bishop then directed the tellers to collect the various envelopes. Question 1 was then taken up, as to the transfers reported. Question 8 was taken up: “What members are in the studies of the third year?" The following were e: amined and their characters passed: Re Horace C. Conner, Moses Lake, Leander A. Carter and Aquila W. Brooks.

Dr. Palmer, pastor of St. Paul Church, Baltimore, chairman of the enter- tainment committee of the next general conference, was introduced and made a strong speech in favor of the conferences doing their duty in making their collections, He stated that the next session of the general conference of the great M. E. Church would be held at Cleveland, Ohio. A magnificent hall and ample hotel accom- modations have been secured. The Color Line. Dr. Palmer stated that the accommodation of colored delegates at the next general conference had been settled by the enter- tainment committee, and it was decided to entertain the colored delegates at the same hotels where the white delegates would be entertained; their tables would be set in the middle of the dining rooms of the Cleveland hotels. Before settling this ques- tion of “color accommodation” he asked the advice from the two colored representatives on the general committees as to how and where should the colored delegates be en- tertained. Rev. Dr. Wilson wanted ac- commodations in a colored hotel, and Dr. Duncan of Arkansas wanted to be boarded at the white hotels, so he settled the ques- tion and determined to mix the colored delegates at the different white hotels. The announcement was received with loud ap- plause. Presiding Elders’ Report The examination of the presiding elders’ reports was taken up. Rey, J. L. Thomas, presiding elder of the Alexandria district, reported his district advancing on all the lines of material, in- tellectual, moral and religious lines. He cited Alexandria, Richmond and Lynch- burg as doing noble work for the great M. E. Church, Rev. Thomas is a fluent and eloquent speaker, and claimed the undivided atten- tion of the conference and people. He has gained much prominence by his reply to Bishop Foster of Boston on the separation of the colored membership. He spoke en- couragingly of the Lynchburg Seminary. He thanked Dr. Wauger and Dr. Goucher of Baltimore for the great interest mani- fested. He reported 430 conversions. The Epworth League chapter of the con- ference met at 8 o'clock today, with Rev.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: It is not often that I find anything to criticise in the editorial utterances of The Star on questions of local interest. You are usually on the side of the people in the dis- cussion of matters affecting their interests, It was, therefore, with surprise that I read the article in yesterday's issue concerning | the establishment of the proposed conta- gious hospital, in which the authorities are counseled to take no heed of the remon- strances of residents of localities sought to be utilized for the purpose. You do your- self great injustice in advocating such a principle as this. The writer of the article in question doubtless had in view the present agitation over the proposed location of the hospital in the grounds of Garfield Hospital. I would therefore ask the use of your valu- able columns for a brief statement of * and motives. All will admit that the contagious disease hospital should be established, and it will also be admitted that care and judgment should be exercised in the selection of 2 site. Why locate it in the heart of the ci —in a growing section, too—when so many city limits? There is an answer to the question as to why the Garfield Hospital inclosure, which is situated in the midst of a thickly settled locality, is sought for the purpose. The hospital has an elephant on its hands in the shape of a useless $x,000 power house that it desires to dispose of to the District, and it is argued that residents of the vicinity have no right to protest | against this scheme! The voice of 400 pe- titioners—citizens vitally interested in the health and welfare of their families and the community—should be unhe: The health of hundreds of orphan chiidren and aged persons in a neighboring asylum are not to be thought of! Medical authorities differ as to what con- stitutes isolation of malignant contagious disease, but there are numerous cases re- ported where the germ has been carried hundreds of yards. A case recently oc- curred in+Edinburgh where the germ of diphtheria traveled 200 yards for its victims. The site of the proposed ward ts on the west building line of Sherman avenue, a thoroughfare only fifty feet wide, with a continuous line of residences on the oppo- site side of the street. On the north it would come in close contact with dwellings in which are numerous children, It is an outrage to even think of placing the pest here, and I have no doubt the courts will so judge, if our municipal guardians will not. It is true that a majority of the residents of the immediate vicinity are poor, but though poor I believe they will be protected by the strong arm of the law against this onslaught. GEORGE SIMMONS. ee) oe eee An Early Abolitio: It was to an audience of large numbers in the Builders’ Exchange Hall that Miss Jane Meade Welch spoke this morning on that picturesque sixteenth century hero, Bartolome de las Casas. She first review- ed the case pro and con of savagery versus civilization for the Indians. pictured “the seagirt island of as found in its primeval simplicity by the Speniards. The insidious beginnings of Indian slavery were traced from tribute to repertimientos, thence to encomiendas or complete theory. Las Casas’ gradual broadening mental and spiritual vision were poetically por- trayed as from being a worldly Spanish grandee, bent on working his own slaves to their utmost capacity, he became the fearless abolitionist, who twenty times crossed the Atlantle in behaif of Indian freedom. Miss Welch has a happy art of address- ing her remarks to her audience instead of to a manuscript. She has succeeded in stirring up so much inter in our his- tory among the wom of official circles as well as among Tesidents that she will continue her lectures in the Builders’ Ex- change Hall for six more mornings.
