At the late mass Father Dougherty delivered the sermon and Father O'Connell acted as cel- ebrant. He drew his text from St. John, A GENERAL CONVENTION Local Epworth League Associations to “Meet at Foundry Church. Services in Several Churches Yester- day With a Stated Program—Ad- dresses on Important Subjects. The Association of the Epworth League of the Methodist Churches 6f Washington will hold a general convention at the Foun- dry Church this evening, for which elab- orate preparations have been made. This cecasion marks the fifth anniversary of the founding of the order, and appropriate ex- ercises were held in several churches last evening. A general order of services for the various meetings yesterday had been arranged and distributed by the governing officers, and this consisted of Scripture reading, respon- sive readings, the Apostjes’ Creed, addresses by members and a consecration service con- ducted by the pastor. All the District leagues have signified their intention of sending large delegations to the convention, which begins this evening, and the chances are that this occasion will be a memorable one. The meeting at the Metropolitan M. E. Church yesterday began at 6:45 o'clock and was presided over by Mr. H. A. Harding, the leader of the evening. There was a brief song service, followed by the reading of the twenty-ninth Psalm and a ten-minute service of individual testimony. The exercises in the church began at 7:30 with an anthem by the church choir. The leaguers occupted more than half of the pews. The greeting was extended by Mr. Harding, and Mr. W. 8S. Dewhirst read from the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians, which was prescribed as the general Scrip- ture lesson. The prayer was offered by Dr. 1. N. Dalby, superintendent of the Deacon- ess Home, on North Capitol street. An address on “Christian Culture” was delivered by Mr. W. E. mard, who show- ed how the command to love the Lord was carried out here. He spoke of the work of the league, which recognizes no creed but com- mon manhood, and which makes a special effort to keep from temptation those who are in the midst of unchristian surround- ings. Distributing Flowers. Mr. H. L. Buell spoke on the literary work that may be done by the Epworth League, especially that of the literary committee, in disseminating knowledge as to the history of the church. Mrs. E..M. Wharton of the department of merey and help told what was dene under the commandment to love one’s neighbor. This department is laboring in the distribution of flowers among the sick, together with text cards, and visiting on certain days of the week at the alms house, jail and other places in the city. They regard it as a duty to call upon the sick and make their ills as light as may be. Mr. M. W. Twitchell told of the social work of the league, which he regarded as one of the most important features of the organization. It brings strangers to the meetings and interests them in the work of the society. He urged the establishment of outing parties for the summer, tennis clubs, bicycle clubs, boating parties and other as- sociations of that sort. An address on “Our Fifth’ Anniversary” was made by Mr. C. M. L. Sites, who spoke of the growth of the leagues in this country to a membership of over 600,000, and said that in his opinion it was phenomenal and had never been equaled in the history 0! young people’s organizations. Mr. F. E. Waring spoke on “Our Present Duty to the Leagues” and Rev. J. H. McCarty delivered an address in which he dwelt upon the significance of the great uprising of young xiv:23. He told the story of Pentecost, and spoke of the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the apostles. It was an interesting discourse, and sympathetically listened to throughout. —— Headquarters it This City. ‘The executive committee of the Farmers’ ‘National Alliance and Industrial Union, after several days’ session at Washington, adjourned Saturday, to reconvene on June 14 at Topeka, Kan. It was voted to establish headquarters in this city, and, instead of establishing a na- tional organ, as had been decided on, to ac- quire an Interest in the National View, of which Col Lee Crandall is the editor. Com- mittees were appointed for various work, and it was decided to amend the charter of the order so that the executive committee might have increased power in establishing insurance branches of the organization. —_ Columbia Fire Insurance Election. At the annual meeting of the board of trustees of the Columbia Fire Insurance Company, held Friday, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: F. B. McGuire, president; C. C. Glover, first vice president; A. P. Fardon, second vice presi- dent; Lem. Towers, jr., secretary; W. D. Quinter, assistant secretary; Robert I. Flem- ing, Chas. J. Bell and R. O.

Hay, their retiring foreman, to bid him good-bye on his de- ure for a new field of labor. Mr. James . Bergin, on behalf of the room, presented Mr. Hay with a handsome clock and man- tel set and a gold-headed cane, and in his remarks paid a high compliment to Mr. pete ey wo as a gentleman, friend and n.. The Franklin Quartet was pres- @nt and rendered some choice selections. Mr. Ulrich, Mr. Hay’s successor, was pres- ent, paid his respects to Mr. Hay in ®@ few well-chosen remarks. —_-_. Resolutions for Judge Wilson. Judge Jere M. Wilson, the leading mem- ber of the counsel for Miss Pollard in her famous suit against Representative Breck- imridge, has been presented with a han some set of resolutions by the Woman’ Protective League. The resolutions are artistically engrossed and set out the ad- miration felt by the league for the stand taken by Judge Wilson tn behalf of a single code to govern men and women alike. —_>_— An Interesting Debate. ‘The Y. M. C. A. Literary Society had an {Interesting discussion Saturday night, in ‘which some of the members of the Wimo- daughsis Society participated. The subject was “Resolved, That more marriages are prevented by the extravagance of woman than by the extravagance of man,” and the | mm was a preliminary skirmish to the battle of the 19th, between the Y. M. C. ‘A. and the Wimodaughsis Society, on the subject, “Resolved, That women should have the right to vote.” Mr.W. Preston William- son, Mr. Walter N. Weston, Mr. Edward W. DeKnight and Mrs. Ruth Havens of ‘Wimodaughsis took part in the discussion, ——a ae Arkansas Editors in Town.

At Wesley Chapel. At Wesley Chapel Mr. W. C. McMichael, formerly of the Central Union Mission, con- ducted the services. The exercises were carried out in accordance with the general program, with one or two exceptions. The Scripture reading, from the thirteenth chap- ter of I Corinthians, was by Miss Mamie Roberts, secretary of the chapter, and ad- dresses were made by Mr. J. 8. Barker, first vice president; Miss M. M. Fitzhugh, third vice president; Miss Ada Fowler, sec- ond vice president, and Mr. F. A. Wood. ward, a member of the social committee. A consecration service was conducted by Dr. C. R. Baidwin, the pastor. Foundry Church, At Foundry M. E. Church the exercises, which were considerably shortened, were conducted by Mr. Frank J. Metcalf. There was a brief service preceding that in the church, in the lecture room, conducted by Mr. W. F. Roe. The anniversary exercises began promptly at 8 o'clock, and consisted of singing and short addresses. Mr. Wm. B. Matthews, president of the chapter, spoke first, maintaining that the best mem- ber was not the one who attended the busi- ness meetings or the social and religious occasions, but the one who entered tnto all of these with spirit and worked for their success. He then read a greeting from W. A. Wells, formerly president of the chapter, but now engaged in evangelical work. He was followed with a solo by Miss Lillie Stewart and an address by Mr. William H. Kerr. Mr. Irving O. Ball then sang another solo. Dr. Oliver O. Brown, pastor of the church, closed the exercises with an excel- lent discourse upon the work of the Ep- worth League. pues Cae Metropolis Lodge Presentation. At the last meeting of Metropolis Lodge, No. 16, I. O. O. F., there was an unusually large attendance from sister lodges in this city and also from other jurisdictions. After the first degree had been impressively con- ferred upon seven candidates in the usual excellent manner for which this lodge has become deservedly famous, both at home and abroad, a recess was declared by No- ble Grand Sterrett. Past Grand Betts then arose and in a few well-chosen preliminary remarks announced that he had attended to the duties assigned him by the lodge a short time ago, in being constituted a spe- cial committee to arrange for a suitable testimonial to one of the members of the order. At the conclusion of his remarks he announced his readiness to make the re- port, whereupon the curtains in the west end of the room were immediately separat- ed and there appeared tn full view a large- sized crayon portrait of Chester R. Faulk- ner, surrounded by a handsome gilt frame, the whole being mounted upon an easel. After the applause had subsided, Chairman Betts intsoduced Past Grand McNeal, who had been delegated to make the presenta- tion speech. His effort was a masterpiece of eloquence and. elegance, and elicited continued rounds of applause. He recount- ed the services rendered the lodge by Mr. Faulkner and the desire of the members to evidence a suitable recognition as a token of the esteem in which he is held. Mr. Faulkner, who was completely taken by surprise, thanked the members in a very feeling and appreciative manner for their kind testimonial, and recited some of his experiences here and in his adopted state, Indiana, during the forty-six years he has been a member of the order. Past Grand Harrell was announced as the next speaker, and, in a very ably prepared address, spoke of the services rendered by the recipient on this occasion and dwelt at some length on the beneficent results of Odd Fellowshin. Other interesting addresses, which were denominated by one of the visiting breth- ren as “snap-shot kodak speeches,” were | made by Past Grand Master Crawshaw, Deputy Grand Master Mead and Hon, Geo. W. Sanderlin, deputy third auditor of the treasury, touching the occasion and also the progress made by this lodge. So Bi mg Him Good-Bye. A number of the employes of the third di- vision, government printing office, called in a body on their late chief, Mr. Albert Cot- tle, at No. 30 Grant place, Friday evening to say good-bye. On their behalf Mr. L. P, ‘utor presented Mr. Cottle with a hand- me gold-headed cane. A pleasant presen- tation speech was made, to which the re- cipient responded in appropriate remarks. Mr. Cottle grill leave- in a few days for Smitaville, 8. Dak., where he will engage in business. . _ eS ee The Muddy Water. To the Editor of The Evening Star: When “Aqua Pura’ wrote in Friday's Star concerning the “mud-slinging bus!- ness”—referzing to the muddy condition of the water now being used througbout the city for culinary and other purposes—he heralded the sentiment of 250,000 disgusted people. Mud may be a ged thing in place, which certainly is not in the tea kettle or wash bowl. TAXPAYER.

He Was taken home by irlends, SEVEN YEARS OF WORK. Anniversary of the Service of Mr. Pugh, the Y. M. C. A. Secretary. ‘The usual services at the Y. M. C. A. yes- terday afternoon were varied by a recog- nition of the fact that it was the seventh anniversary of the connection of the secre- tary, Mr. James E. Pugh, with the asso- elation. It was an opportunity for his friends to say a good word, and they did not neglect the chance. Cards containing, as far as practicable, the results of the p: seven years of work, in the form of tables, were distributed among the audience. The | increase in the power and influence of the association is attested by the fact that seven years ago there were 667 members, today the average number is 1,184. Mr. L. Cabell Williamson, the president of the association, presided. He announced that he had received letters from Charles Ly- man, Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, A. R. Will- jamson, Amos B. Draper of Kendall Green, Harry Farmer, Edwin H. Grant, I. B. Lin- ton and others commending the value of Mr. Pugh’s work to the community. Mr. Williamson then, in graceful words, ex. pressed his appreciation of Mr. Pugh’s la bors, and was followed by W. H. H. Smith, George _Francis Willa: Rev, John G. Ames, E. F. Simpson, Rev. Dr. C. W. Bald- win, Rev. Dr. J. J. Muir, F. W. Vaughn, R. 8, Jordan and E. 8. Westcott. Mr. Pugh responded briefly and modestly. The second of the series of talks on dan- ger signals was then delivered by Rev. 1, W. Canter, pastor of Mount Vernon Place Church. It was stated that all but $3,000 of the money needed to pay off the debt of $10,000 had been raised. ——— AMUSEMENTS. Sunday Concert at Albaugh’s.—The first of a series of sacred concerts, under the man- agement of Mr. Edgar Strakosch, was given at Albaugh’s last night, and that the audi- ence was satisfied with the program was fully demonstrated by the frequency of the encores. The chief attraction was Miss Edah Carr, a young girl of only fourteen years of age,who has a voice of phenomenel range and power, and who sings with the ease and grace of a matured professional. Her first number, “Caro Nome” from “Rig- oletto,” displayed the careful cultivation she had received, and in response to the emphatic encore she gave the famillar “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye” in an exquisite manner. Her second number was Cowen's “The Better Land,” and though it was the last on the program, the audience endeavor- ed _to secure a repetition, but she declined. George Broderick, the basso of the Stra- Kosch opera troupe, sang the “Infelice” from the opera of “Ernani’’ In manner to bring out the capabilities of his rich voice, and for an encore he sang the Armorer's Song from “Kobin Hood.” He also sang Leach's “Let All Obey” in the best style that it has been heard in this city since the late Sher. Campbell. Isabelle Urquhart was well received in her song, and Mrs. Clyde Collins, who sang Hervey’s “Once.” Mr. Guy Standing recited Gilbert’s “Eu- quette’” in an excellent manner, and dlr. Fred. Huntly sang Moir’s “Only Once More.” Miss Alice Johnson sang Baiiey’: waltz song, “As the Fleeting Days Go By, effectively, and the theater orchestra con- | tributed to the enjoyment of the evening by several selections, doing very good work, particularly in the intermezzo from the “Cavalleria Rustican: which was obliged to be repeated. These Sunday night concerts can be made very popular. Miss Edah Carr will be heard tonight and every other night during the week at | Albaugh’s in the second act of “The Little Duke.” Miss Carr will sing various selec- tions each night. Her voice last night made a decided impression. Her voice is rich and pure, possessing all the range of a prima donna. Although thirteen years of age, this child bids fair to become the greatest song- stress of modern times. Carroll Institute.—On Wednesday evening the Carroll Institute Orchestra will give a musical, literary and athietic entertainment at Carroll Institute Hall, assisted by the Columbia Zither Club, Miss Pauline Iseman, Messrs.Cullen and McErneany of the Alpine Trio, Messrs. Geo, O'Connor, Chas. Moore | and the Trocadero Quartet, Prof. Joyce and | his athletic class. The Given brothers and | Percy Leach will do a skirt dance. Mrs. 5S. Barton French will repeat her lecture on Greek travel on Friday, May is, at 5 o'clock, at her residence, 1634 I street, for the benefit of the sufferers from the | Greek earthquake. It will be illustrated with many stereopticon views taken by her- self. Mrs. Calvin 8. Brice, Mrs. D. P. Morgan, Mrs. Sweat and Mrs. Chadwick have the tickets. Miss Helena Hartnett Mitchell, a Kansas girl, will be given a benefit, under the, j auspices of the Kansas delegation, at Al- baugh’s Opera House Wednesday after- noon. Mrs. Carlisle is interested in Miss Mitchell's success, and has taken a box, which will be occupied by her- self and several of the cabinet ladies, and Senator Martin wi!l occupy a box with some of his friends. The play, in which Miss Mitchell will be the principai, assisted by her pupils, is Buckstone’s “Married Life.” Charged With Deseriton. Miss Mollie ©. Thompson on the 4th of May, 1892, became Mrs. Wm. A. Ward, the marriage ceremony being performed in this elty by the Rev. J. A. Taylor. The matri- monial yoke evidently proved unpleasant to Mr. Ward, for she alleges in a petition for divorce that he willfully deserted and aban- doned her after one week of married life. She prays that she may be allowed to re- sume her maiden name. ie Only One More Left! Is not our condition just now, but we are afraid it soon will be.

Tke arrangements for the excursion of the board of trade to Marshall Hall are now nearly complete, and indications are that the occasion will be one of importance, as well as of interest, to the members of the board and their guests. It is designed to make this outing of our business men more than a mere pleasure trip. With this object in view, the committee on excursion, con- sisting of Messrs. S. W. Woodward, Henry F, Blount, Thomas W. Smith, C. B. Church and F. L. Moore, has decided to have the steamer make a trip up the river as far as the Aqueduct bridge before starting for Marshall Hall, thus enabling the members of the party to haye an object lesson, as it were, of the commerce of our city, as well as of the condition of its water front. Every effort will be made to give the members of the board and their guests a clear idea of the vast work in connection with the river flats—that in contemplation as well as that already compléted. Among those who have accepted the invitation of the board for this occasion are many members of the House and Senate, prominent officials and well know? citizens, so that a thoroughly repre- sentative gathering of our business men and our lawmakers is assured. The steam Charles Macalester, which has been chartered for the occasion, will leave her wharf, at the foot of 7th street, at | 2:30 for the trip up the river, returning and touching at the wharf again at 3:30 for the benefit of those who may not be able to} reach there at the earlier hour. Tickets may be obtained by members of the board for themselves and friends at the office of the secretary. get The Chevy Chase Inn.
