A Large Attendance at the North Capitol Street Church. The Epworth Leaguers turned out in great numbers last evening, filling North Capitol Church to its utmost capacity. The program was rendered by home talent, with the exception of Mr. George W. Cor- ner, jr., of Baltimore, who made an ad- dress. Each of the speakers received hearty applause. One of the new features of the occasion was singing “Marching to Canaan,” composed by Mrs. Hattie E. Buell, author of ‘I’m the Child of a King,” and dedicated to the Washington District Epworth League. This is to be a rallying song for the leaguers, and is sung to the tune of “Marching Through Georgia.” Ad- dresses were made by C. M. Lacey Sites, W. B. Matthews, George C. Hough, Mies Effie 8. Perry, J. E. Pugh and Rev. L. B. Wilson. Anniversary day will be celebrated on Monday, May 14, at Foundry M. E, Church. Rev. Dr. Hurlburd of Wilmington will be one of the principal speakers. A large number of leaguers will attend the Pitts- burg convention,.May 24, and no pains will be spared to make the trip pleasant for the delegates and their friends. oe - NEW YORK IN LINE. The Christian Endeavorers of That City Favor Washington for ’06. The Christian Endeavorers of the District rallied in the West Street Presbyterian Church, in Georgetown, last evening. De- spite the threatening weather, the church was taxed to the extent of its capacity. The meeting opened with a song service, con- ducted by the leader of the Union choir, Mr. Percy 8. Foster. Devotional exercises, con- ducted by Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, fol- lowed, and consisted in the recitation cf favorite Scripture texts and sentence pray- ers. President McArthur then introduced Rev. J. J. Muir, who spoke upon the topic, “Edification in ‘Christian Endeavor, or Spiritual Development. After the singing of a hymn, Rev. F. D. Power was introduced and spoke to the topic, “Extension in Christian Endeavor, or Winning Souls for Christ and the Church.” Mr. F. M. Bradley was next introduced, and spoke upon the subject, “Manliness in Chris- tian Endeavor, or Place and Work by and for Young Men.” At the conclusion of Mr. Bradley's ad- dress, President McArthur made some an- nouncements. He spoke of the recent visit to this city of Rev.-A. W. H. Hodder, pres- ident of the New York City Christian En- deavor Union. During his stay here Mr. Hodder had imparted to him the welcome intelligence that New» York city was en- thusiastically in favor of Washington as the place for the convention of ‘96. This an- nouncement was greeted with applause. After the singing of ‘“‘Washington,’96," by the audience, the meeting closed, with the Mizpah benediction, and the apgs‘olic ben- ediction was pronounced by the Rev. W. C. Alexander, pastor of the churzh. The next meeting will be held at Calvary Baptist Church, Friday evening, May 11. A number of prominent men of the city, members of the advisory board of the pre- Uminary committee of '96, will speak upon the benefits which will accrue from the hold- ing of the "96 convention in Washington. A number of the District Endeavorers will go to Hyattsville, Md., Friday 2vening, May 4, on the train leaving the Baltimore and Ohto station at 6:30 p.m. A meetiag will be held in the Presbyterian Church of that village. ‘The week has not been dull by any meéang, nor will the coming one. The dinner-giving spirit, which is always on the increase, shows no sign of lessening, even in the face of the approaching wa: weather. The recent announcement that Congress would perhaps adjourn by the 4th of July was received with delight by the families of many of the legislators, whose travel, if started upon at all last summer, were for the most part broken into by the extra session. A good many people are talking of trips to Europe, but one does not hear it said here, as in New York, that this way of spending the summer is resorted to because it is cheaper than remaining at home, especially if one is burdened with a social halo, which re- quires constant entertaining to keep brightly shining. It is a fact, however, that the resorts in this country most popu- lar with fashionable people are not ex- pected to be inordinately gay this summer, which, if true, will be a blessing in dis- guise, and will give every one in the smart set a chayce to thoroughly rest themselves physically, brighten up intellectually, and keep all their reserve cash to spend in Washington next winter. Fashionable society in New York 1s en- tertaining ‘itself with the question of wo- man suffrage, a topic which, if mentioned in a drawing room a few years ago, would have thrown the company into conniption fits. Now the most exclusive of ull houses are thrown open to gatherings where wo- men as brilliant intellectually as they are tential and wealthy, are expressing the 1B 80 the century, These talks are only signs of the times. The same independence of spirit finds expression amongst womanhood, among the rich, who are not hampered | in sny way by opportunities as among the Poor, who would be, did they follow the old | Maxwell, Day, Bell, Hicks, Ernest Swaxy, | routine of a woman's life. Some nights this week at the theater it was no un- | common thing to see groups of two and three young iad@tes, the daughters of the | richest families in these ten miles square, come in without chaperones or even big or little brothers, who are most fre- quently pressed into service for this duty. The moneyed woman has emancipated her- welt long ago. Talking of the theater, by the way, some of the French people living in this city think that M. Patenotre owes his country- men an explanation because he «tid not at- tend any of the performances of the French company this week. Outside of the fact that the ambassador is just now spend- ing the happiest month of his life, it does not seem quite right that he should be criticised for even omitting such a tribute as his presence would imply to French art when he has all the rest of his life to repair this little forgetfulness, By the way, when M. Patenotre and his wife do come into the embassy to live, Mr. and Mrs. lverson will at once take posession of Clifton, where it is quite likely they will spend much more time than hitherto. It will be pleasing news to many of their friends here to hear that Count and Countess Divonne are coming over next month and after a visit with the latter's mother, Mrs. Audenried, intend to remain in this country for the summer. The coun- tess is now the mother of three beautiful children, the youngest only a few months old, and she is herself said to be prettier and more attractive than ever. The wedding of Miss Blaine and Mr. Truxton Beale will take place Monday, at 1 o'clock, in the Blaine mansion on Lafay- ette Square. The number of guests wiil be larger than originally anticipated. Several friends from abroad have already arrived in the city. The immediate family of Mr. Beale will be represented at the wedding by Mr. and Mrs. John R. McLean. Mrs. Gen. Beale, being an invalid, will not be able to be present. The bride is still receiving numerous and costly presents. Many of them are from people whom Miss Blaine does not know herself, but who were friends and associates of her distinguished father. Mr. Beale’s interpreter of legation, while he held the position of United States minister to Persia, has sent to Miss Blaine a mag- nificent India shawl, which was presented to him by the Shah of Persia. An India shaw! is always Queen Victoria's gift to the brides whom she honors by her regard. Mr. Edwin A. Woolston of New York, who was a classmate at college of Mr. Beale, will be his best man, He has already arrived; Mrs. Blaine gave a large dinner on Wednesday night, and, in fact, is enter- taining all this week. Mr.Woolston arrived today from New York, and is the guest of Mr. Beale. Lady Pauncefote and Miss Sybil and Miss Lillian Pauncefote will attend the ‘last drawing room of Queen Victoria, which will be held on May 9. Sir Julian will not go abroad for several months yet. Senator and Mrs. Chandler will give a dinner tonight. Mrs. Carlisle will have the minuet dancers at her house tonight and entertain them at a supper after their rehearsal. President and Mrs. Cleveland, Vice Presi- dent Stevenson and the cabinet 1nd their families will be present at the Hermitage entertainment on Tuesday afternoon next at Albaugh's. On Wednesday evening, May 2, Chief Engineer Harrie Webster, U. S. N., will give his most interesting illustrated lec- ture on Samoa, for the benefit of the Chil- dren’s Country Home. The lecture will be given at St. John’s Parish Hall and will consist of descriptions of Samoan life and scenery, as well as the personal experiences of Mr. Webster, who was on the Vandalia when {it was wrecked at Samoa. Miss Katie Ray, Miss Frederika Rodgers, Miss Margaret McPherson, Miss Lila Town- send, Miss Wilkes, Miss Alice Parker, Miss Victoria Emory, Miss Eastman, Miss Hunt, Miss West, Miss Bryan, Miss Casey, Miss Fannie Cox, Miss Charlotte Campbell, Miss Chandler, Miss Cassels, Miss Wainwright, Miss Stofrow and Miss Hockaday are man- agers of-the home. The home is greatly in need of an addition, in order to take the number of little ones begging for ad- mission during the hot months. One can hardly imagine how much benefited these poor children are by two weeks of fresh air and a taste of country life: Many of their homes are only deserving of that name after a visit to the Children’s Coun- try Home, where all is clean and bright, and where the gentle discipline of the sis- ters in charge and good food are daily promotefs of good habits and good health. Miss Hattie Crafts, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Rupp, 915 S street northwest, returned to her home in Brook- lyn Ye ‘The congregation of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church of South Washington was out in full force last evening and the large parlors of the parsonage were crowded to their ut- most capacity. The occasion was the twen- ty-fifth anniversary of the wedding of the pastor, Rev. W. H. Gotwald, and his wife, and was in the ure of jurprise to them as far as the assembling of the congrega- tion was concerned, and, as such, decidedly The ladies guarded the affair ly and did their work exceedingly As silver is the order for the twenty- fifth anniversary, this part was thoroughly in keeping with the other parts of the pro- gram, and pastor and wife were very hund- somely remembered and presented each with a silver box containing twenty-tive bright new silver dollars. The pastor's box contained three extra dollars, one for each of the boys, and presented to them as a souvenir of the event. Other presents were received from individuals, and among them a silver teapot from the Women’s Christian Temperance Union of South Washing! of which Mrs. Gotwald is a member. 1 presentation of the silver was made by } Chauncey R. Botsford, superintendent of the Sunday school. In his speech ne con- veyed to pastor and wife the congratula- tions of the congregation and the heartfelt wish that the next twenty-five years be e Mr. spent as pleasantly as the twenty-five just | ended.’ Dr. Gotwald, in his usually happy manner, responded for himself and wife, and told of their first meeting, much to the amusement and enjoyment of all. Refresh- ments, served by the ladies, was the next thing in order, after which, at a late hour, the pleasant company went to their homes, The marriage of Miss Lillian B. Headley, formerly of this city, to Mr. Henry F. Zim- merman of Brooklyn, N. Y., took piace in the latter city on Tuesday last. The couple are visiting Mrs. K.

In an article in The Star of the 234 in- stant referring to the amendment offered by Senator McMillan to the District ap- | propriation bill affecting the proposed ap- propriations for a number of the charitable irstitutions of the District, and the board of children’s guardians, it was asserted that Mr. McMillan had offered the amend- ment at the request of Mr. James Mc- Gowan, who represented himself to the Senator as a member of the board of guar- dians. Mr. J. H. MeGowan, to whom ref- | erence was made, and who ts not a member jot the board of children’s guardians, says of the board. Senator McMillan’s atten- ; tion having been called to the published | Statement by Mr. McGowan, the Senator has written to that gentleman as follows: “The statement in The Star was evidently the result of a mistake. You explained that you appeared as a citizen of Washington and a taxpayer, and that your attention had been given to the matter of public aid to private charities, by reason of the fact | that you had been one of those persons |in Michigan who had aided in the estab- lishment of the system used there, where- | by the state treasury is saved needless ex- | penditure and at the same time the really | destitute children receive proper super- vision and are placed in good homes, to the great benefit of the community.” The mistake in The Star’s paragraph in reference to Mr. McGowan, which The Star regrets, was the result of a misunderstand- |ing between Senator McMillan and the re- | porter who wrote the matter. The Senator said this morning to the latter: “I can easily see how it happened that you mis- took my words to mean that I understood Mr. M-Gowan to represent himself as a member of the board, whereas, as we can both easily see now, I merely meant to con- vey the idea that I didn’t remember ex- | actly at the time just what Mr. McGowan | said to me. Mr. McGowan is an ex-Con- gressman from our state and a man of the | highest integrity and character. It is un- |fortunate, of course, that such an error are apt to happen at any time.” ——<—-2-—_—____. THE TEMPLE DRUG STORE. It is Reopened, Renewed and Im- proved After the Fire. ‘There may or may not be @ great deal of doubt about the theory of purification by fire, but, in a commercial way, there can be no doubt that progress and advancement by fire is a never-failing rule. Chicago and | Seattle are both good examples. Right here in Washington is an excellent illustration of the truth of the fact at the corner of 9th and F streets, where the new Temple drug store has opened its doors for a renewal of the well-deserved prosperity it has en- joyed for many years. A few weeks ago the establishment was entirely burned out, but Messrs F. S. Williams & Co., with com- mendable wisdom, perceived that their tem- porary distress would serve to pave the way for greater success in the future. Conse- quently, the firm set to work to renew their Popular store on a much more attractive scale than before, and the result of their ef- forts is most praiseworthy. In the course of rehabilitation many improvements have been introduced. The capacity of the establishment has been increased nearly twofold by the addi- tion of spacious show windows on the vth street and F street frontages and a balcony extending around two-thirds of the room. The decorations of the ceiling embrace va- rious tints of buff, harmonizing with the richly carved oak appointments, and the magnificent soda fountain, which is built of |rare marble and supports a massive mir- ror set in a mahogany frame, also proves a striking feature in the altogether beautiful array of ornamental work. This fountain has the largest capacity of any in the city, carrying thirty-two different syrups, and is equipped with the most improved appliances for proper handling of the firm's vast soda trade. From every point of view the new Temple distinctively a modern estab- drug store is lishment—elegant and attractive in appear- ance and convenient in arrangement. Every shelf and every case, which abound in numbers on all sides, from fioor to ceil- ing, is weighted down with goods, and any article of the endless variety for which this businoss is noted can be procured there at prices which seem ridiculously moderate. —___.
