The Secretary of the General Com- mittee Talks About Mr. Moody and Gives Some Interesting Facts. The secretary of the general committee in charge of the arrangements for the Moody meetings, Mr. Charles N. Richaris, was one of the active workers in making the meet- ings a success. In addition to his duties as | secretary he was personally interested in the meetings. In talking with a Star re- porter Mr. Richards gave some details about the great meetings. In regard to his special work in interesting people in the meetings he said, with a smile, that both houses of Congress and the department officials came within his field. These offi- cials, he said, were greqtly interested and expressed disappointment that the meetings could not be continued. He said that it was sible for Mr. Moody to remain here, as | paen serene had been made to open meet- ings Monday, the 12th, at Norfolk, Va., but the building not being ready, they will not open there until Wednesday, the 14th. Mr. Moody therefore went home with his wife to Northfield, Mass. He will be in New York city Tuesday, and pass through Washing- ton before daylight Wednesday morning. He opens meetings at Richmond, Va., on the 24th instant, in a pavilion built for the to hold 6,000 people. He remain: | made no assignments, but will probably go to other southern cities before going to his Northfield schools for the summer. In the fall both Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey pro- pose to begin a series of meetings in Lon- don, to continue six months. The Church of England is kis principal support there. The Cost of the Meetings. “About $1,700 were received from collec- tions at the hall,” said Mr. Richards. “This will go toward paying for the hall, lighting and platform, which, in round | numbers, comes to $2,500. Printing and all [kinds of advertising make $500 more. Singing books and an extra laborer at the hall, and one paid doorkeeper for each | outside entrance, about $500 more. Post- | age, $250. Typewriter, messenger, station ery and other sezvice rendered at head- | quarters, about $250. No bills have been paid, nor will any bills be paid without the | approval of the executive committee. The | auditing committee is to pass on all of Treasurer Truesdell’s accounts. “It will, therefore, be seen that 24,000 | covers about all the expenses of the | month’s meetings. About $2,000 have been | paid in by the different co-operating | | churehes, and $300 more is pledged and | good as patd from the same source. In addition to all this, a few hundred dollars | have come in from private subscribers, which will be used to pay the hotel bills at the Ebbitt for Messrs. Moody and Sankey for one month, and their wives for a few days, amounting to $300, and carriage hire going back and forth from the meetings, anothe- $100. And now I shall speak as/ one of the scribes, and not as one having authority. The 4,000 books on Regeneration sent out by Mr. Moody to inquirers, I should hope and expect, will be paid for by the committee. So the public will see there is no danger at present of a surplus. If, however, private donations keep coming in (as I hope and as I expect they will), the executive committee at their meeting next Thursday afternoon will be asked to send the balance, whatever it may be, to Messrs. Moody and Sankey, for their individual use or for the Northfield or Chicago schools, as they may see fit. Mr. Moody a Poor Ma “Mr. Moody, as you know, is a poor man of very simple tastes. He has little use for money for himself, and his wife is just like him in that respect. He has two daughters and one son, all unmarried, and all live at their home at Northfield, Mass. “Mr. Sankey’s home is in‘ Brooklyn, N. Y¥. He has a snug little income as royalty on his singing books. He has given a library to his native town in Pennsylvania, and in many ways made good use of his means : “In ase of death the royalty on Mr. Moody's books would doubtless keep his | family from want, so that he is rot ‘worse | than an infidel,’ as some would Tave us | believe. His Chicago school is $4,000 be- hind now, but he says that of course he must feel the hard times the same as other folks. It is not true that he will not nold meetings in a city until he is suaranteed certain money. He is, however, desirous to know that the running expenses of the mectings will be met when he comes to a place.” In reference to the immense amount of work which the arrangement for and the conduct of the meetings involved, Mr. Rich- ards said that “A dozen or twenty of cur pastors did the planning and much of the ; work. But they had to look out for their churches; of course, their work with them could not entirely stop. Therefore it was that Mr. Pugh, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and Mr. Foster, leader of the choir, and myself as general secretary and acting for the committees as a sort of supervisor of a thousand little details, devoted ten or fifteen hours a day for fifty days to the work. Many of the ushers were on hand every day. Many of them were successful workers among the young inquirers, which accounts for more young men being reach- ed than any other class. I venture the as- sertion that there were thousan-ls more men at church yesterday than ever before in shington on an ordinary occasion. ‘What is your idea about the number of converts?” he was asked. “There is no means of knowing as yet. There were 4,000 requests for the inquirers’ little book that Mr. Moody prepared, called “The ‘Way and the Word.” Among them were a large number of backsliders, whom Mr. Moody was very anxious to reach. Then, of course, some were moved by curlosity,again there were others who are aiways willing to take anything that’s free, except salva- tion. For a year, at least, there will be | calls. | selections. additions every month to the churenes of this city, to say nothing of many in the churches scattered all through the courtry, who will state that they first became in- quirers in this series of meetings.

One Practical Res: “You know that Mr. Moody had a good deal to say about restitution. ‘That it was not enough to cry and feel sorry, but that if we had wronged anyone it was our duty to make good the wrong if within our power. A business man in this city states that one morning last month a friend call- ed on him and handed him 320 from a man who would not give his name, and who is still unknown, stating he had cheated him out of that amount fifteen years ago and desired to make it good now. If you will watch the conscience fund you will see other cases within a month IJ met in the inquiry room a fugitive from justice, whom I did not know, and who refused to give his name, but who promised to follow 2 heus’ example. mee took many invitations to dinner to him, from the highest to the humblest, but he declined them all, and was able to see only about one in a hundrod of those who called or asked for the privilese. Sat- urday was his rest day, he called but he was most always busy on that day. He e half an hour sometimes, getting in that way information he wanted. It was casy to see that he could read a man through at a glance, and it was useless to try to assume knowledge or superiority. Anything Itke sham disgusted him. At the Capitol he was as-cordial with the colored laborer as the greatest statesmen of the land, who were all glad to meet him. He corrected several when they called him the Rev. Mr. Moody. "he said, ‘simply D. L. Moody.’ He didn’t like even the prefix of Lr. I was called to the White House and to the departments several times and found all well informed as to the progress of the meetings, and evidently it was the frequent topic of conversation there, as at both ends of the Capitol. “One morning some Senators and mem- bers entered the elevator ear the east front of the Senate. One remarked to the conductor, ‘Take me up as near heaven as you can.’ ‘All right," was the reply, ‘I'll | take you with me as high as i cun and then I'll have to send for Moody tc do the Mrs. Moody, ke her husband, is plain and simple in her manner and domestic in | aay) evening, at 7: her tastes.

I hope you'll believe it now.’ “But we soon had the laugh on him when I told him that several made the remark that same night that he and his wife looked very much alike. He thinks he can never come to Washington again, but he ‘s so pleased with his mission here I doubt if he can stay away many years. Certainly Washington will give him a very urgent in- vitation at the proper time.” a FOR THE OLD GUARD. The Persons in Charge of the Big Fair This Evening.

After The Star's report of the considera- tion of the District appropriation bill in the House closed Saturday afternoon,Mr. Morse | of Massachusetts fillbustered against the provision authorizing the construction of an engine house on the reservation upon which now stands the Bethany Mission. Mr. Cogswell remarked that the mission people showed considerable audacity in cb- jecting to the government using its own property after the government has given time. This did not stagger Mr. Morse, how- ever, and he was only appeased by being promised that the Commissioners would be asked to let the chapel use the old engine house. Upon metion of Mr. De Armond, an amendment was adopted continuing the control of the Freedman’s Hospital in the Secretary of the Interior. Charitable Associations, Upon motion of Mr. Compton, an amend- ment was adopted restoring to the Church Orphanage of St. John's parish, the Ger- man Orphan Asylum, the National Asso- ciation for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children, the St. Ann's Infant Asylum, the St. Joseph's Asylum, the House of the Good Shepherd, the industrial Home School and St. Rose's Industrial School the appropriations specifically made for them last year, instead of placing them un- der the care of the board of children’s guar- dians, as proposed by the bill. The amount appropriated for the board was reduced from $50,750 to $24,700. After defeating an amendment proposed by Mr. De Armond to pay the interest and sinking fund wholly out of District reve- nues, another to recommit the bill, with in- structions to report it back with a provision that the District pay two-thirds of the ex- penses, and after defeating Mr. Walker's amendment to recommit the bill, with in- structions to report one embodying the es- timates of the Commissioners, the bill was passed. —_—.__ Death of Mrs. Ben: Perley Poore. Mrs. Virginia Dodge Poore, widow of the late Ben: Perley Poore, the famous news- paper correspondent, died at the Ebbitt House Saturday morning at 5 o'clock, after a long and painful illness. Mrs. Poore was a daughter of Mr. Francis Dodge, sr. Since the death of Mr. Poore, which occurred in 1887, Mrs. Poore has spent her winters in Washington. She was born January 13, 1828, and was in the sixty-eightth year of her age. The remains have been taken to Indian Hill, West Newberry, Mass., where they will be interred by the side of her husband. a The Washington Kindergarten Club.

At last the Coxey conceit has assumed a definite shape that gives notice to the Massillon, Ohio, police circles that it is Something more tangible than the thecriz- ing of a crank. Coxey and Carl Brown mustered the advance guard of the “‘Com- monweal” yesterday afternoon, and the #u- thorities were surprised to see more than | 500 men, most of them strangers, arrayed under the banners of the “On to Washing- ton” crusade. They held a meeting and nominated a full city ticket. Amoag many others was the following resolution: Resolved, That the attempt of President Cleveland ‘to re-establish a monarchy in| Hawaii is deserving of the smost emphatic | censure, and if the present Congress would | be true to the people and the country it would impeach Grover Cleveland as a trai- tor to American institutions and republi- can principies of government.

The authorities say that this community cannot and will not allow the assembly of half that many of the tramps in the vicinity.

The people are aroused. You will see them flocking on here by special trains on March 25 to start for Washington with the peace processioa. By June 1 there will be work in this country at good wages for every man who wants work. The day of salvation is at hand. I believe that there will be 5,000 in line when we leave Massillon. I expect all the locked-out coal miners to be in it to a man.”" Looking to May Day. Mr. Coxey’s roomy house is the head- quarters of the crusaders.

Cassatt, the well-known Phila- elphian, accompanied by his family, are at the Arlington. Mr. Cassatt is one of the American turfmen whose colors are synonymous of honorable sport, and who has always been a most zealous advocate of improving the methods which govern the sport of kings in this country. He chatted interestingly this morning about the new American Jockey Club, of which he was a foremost organizer. “It is a mistake to imagine that our club is to act as a board of control over the eastern racing tracks,” he remarked. “Its primary objects are to systematize and simplify the running cof race horses on the four tracks in the vi- vinity of New York; the three in New York state and one in New Jersey, although it will extend its protection over other tracks that may request it. Our board of stewards will have numerous duties to perform, and among the most important are the cver- seeing of the personnel of the officials in charge of racing at the various meetings held under its rules. The judges, starters, and what is now called the clerk of the scales, who supervises the weighing of the jockeys, must meet the approval of the board, one steward of which must be pzes- ent at every such meeting. Of course, the club will not interfere in any manner with the individual ownership of the tracks, be- ing merely supervisory in the connectiun I have indicated. hen we will seek to prevent the clash- ing of dates between racing associations, which has been unfortunately prev the past. For instance, if two assoc decide upon the same week in whi begin a meeting, our club will endeavor to bring about a change, and in case they are obdurate, or one refuses to withdraw or postpone, one will be recognized by us and no horses or owners running under our rules will be permitted to run at the ccn- filcting meeting. In case they should do so the horse will be ruled off tracks under our protection, but this penalty will not extend to either the owner or the jockey.” “Do you believe the new club will take any action regarding the scale of weights at present in force in the east?” “TI believe they will be made higher—some- thing on the English plan. I belleve the top weights in handicaps will be advanced in order thac poorer horses may have a show to win against the cracks. With the top weight at 127 pounds, as it is in the Brook- lyn handicap, a fair horse has little chance to win, and it can be easily seen that the public appreciates this, when the .op weight carriers are usually made the favorites in the betting. I think the handicap weights there- fore will be fixed at not lower than eighty- five pounds, with the heaviest say at 132 pounds. The rules have not yet been estab- lished, but I believe they may provide for something of this sort.” “Do you anticipate extending your influ- ence to the western tracks?” “As I said before, the new club was or- ganized soiely for operation on the tracks in the vicinity of New York, but it will recog- nize the forfeit list and the penalties of such western associations as recognize its own.” “By the way, is there not a :ovement looking to the abolishment of the forfeit system in connection with the entries in fixed events?” “There are a great many people who seem to favor such a change, but I imagine it will be difficult to bring it about. A great many believe it would do away with a great deal of trouble If an owner was eom- pelled, when he entered a horse in an event, to pay down a certain amount, and on a certain date, if he desired to keep his horse in, to pay any additional sum necessary, but the owners do not leok kindly on such a proposition. “Take the Futurity, for instance. The mares are entered three years before the race takes place. Now, an owner would not care to put up $15 in cash on the unborn colt, because he would think it a consider- able amount of ready money to tie up out of reach for that length of time, whereas, under the forfeit system, he will continue in possession of it until the day of the race in case his entry was declared out when the | 8 a Consequence there have not been per- racing associations and improving their | tone in a commercial sense. “Will there be any sensations among the youngsters this year?” “That I cannot tell. There are general good reports from the two-year-olds, aid I hear Mr. J. R. Keene has some good ones, but I have not heard of any individual ex- pectations. There were fewer trials of year- lings last fall than has been customary,and | formances suflicient to base opinions upon.” “There is one thing about a hotel register that no traveler can understand,” said Charles M. Pratt at Willard’s teday, “and that is why in the world the presiding genius always writes down in the heaviest strokes a t pencil can make the word ‘bath’ -alongside of the name of every guest who gets a tub in connection with | his sleeping chamber. In case the acrival also desires a sitting room in addition | there is even more emphasis exercised in| making the words ‘parlor and bath’ promi-| nent features on the page. The clerks will tell you that those entries are placed so prominently on the book in order to assirt the cashier in fixing the price to be | charged for the rooms, but don’t you believe | it. If such were the case, then every item charged against a guest, from a fire to a| small bottle, should be written on the register as well. No, my boy, the reason the fact that a man’ has rented a bath is 80 prominently displayed on a hotel register | is to make those who arrive afterwards | become impressed with their own state! of uncleanliness and engage a similar lux-| ury.

Edward French, the theatrical man-! ager, was conversing in the Shoreham! smoking room yesterday when the talk | turned on the immense amounts of money expended for the transportation of .iravel- | ing theatrical companies. i “I reckon the largest passage money ever paid for a single trip of a company was paid by me last year when I took the lil lian Russell Opera Company, which I or- ganized, out to San Francisco and back to Chicago. We had two Pullmans, three day coaches, three scenery cars and a private car, which was occupied by Miss Russe: her mother, imyceif and a piaao. From We east to San Francisco and back to Chica- go the railroad fares cost $30,000, “The piano played a great part in the journey, We were rehearsing ‘The Mounte- banks,” and in the morning che leader of the orchestra and the stage manager would come into our car and get at the piano and keep at it all day, while the train was run- ning thirty-eight or forty miles an hour, and they did a prodigious amount of work. One night we were going over the moun- tains, and I heard a terrible thumping and bumping in the car. It was not in my cc partment, so I turned over ani went to sleep again. The next morning when I went out the piano was in pie>-s, and there was no more air-line rehearsiug of “fhe Mountebanks.’ | “Pop” Anson as the captain-manager the Chicago Base Ball Club is populam called, is visiting Washington, bur it is the national game of politics which brings him here, or rather the patronage resulting from it. He is anxious to have his father appointed postmaster at Marshalltown, fa, while several other aspirants for the posi- tion are just as strenuously struggling for the same thing. The Marshalltown case is considered one of the most yerviexing prob- lems the Post Office Departm nt has ever been confronted with. A dozen different interests are involved in the ruction, and they are tangled up with each other in a perfect network of difficulties. Capt. An- son says he has met nothing but set-hacks in his filial undertaking so fa>, mi he is still hopeful and will not admit the posst- bility of final disappointment. He says the time for such declaration was reached. The new club will enforce forfeitures, however, very strictly, and its penalties also. What is the outlook for racing this ar?” “There will be good sport, I believe, but I think there will be none in New Jersey. e tracks became so numerous there run so directly for the protit of that public sentiment became ainst them.

The owning cf ce tra became so enormously profit- je that everybody wanted one. D. Db. Withers had the proper idea about conducting a race track and he rried it out at Monmouth Park. He believed that ho more than 6 per cent profit should be paid to the investors and that any surplus remaining should be expended in improving the prope and given to the horses in in- ereased purses and stakes. Consequeatly Monmouth Park has never paid ‘nore than 6 per cent and the rest of the prorit has been expended as indicated.
