At Foundry Church last night there was held a meeting of the Epworth League dele- gates to the fourth general conference. dis- trict convention, to be held at Pittsburg May 24-27. The meeting was largely at- tended by the delegates and their friends and much enthusiasm was manifested in the coming convention. Thirty-three have already pledged themselves to go. The ma- jority of this congenial company became acquainted with each other at the meeting last evening. The trip will be made over the Baltimore and Ohio, at reduced rates, on a special train, leaving Washington May 24 at 8:10 am. A Pittsburg edition of the rallying song, “Marching Through .” has been ordered printed, and a distinct Washington badge will be worn. Those contemplating this trip should com- municate at once with the chairman of the transportation committee, Mr. W. B. Ma- thews, No, 810 New Jersey avenue north- west. —__—. Officers Elected.

BRRORS SIMPLE AND NUMEROUS Best Showing in Its History for the First Separate. ONE GUARDSMAN OVERCOME Major Ross’ command, the first battalion, and the first separate battalion, composed SURE | of the colored companies of the District National Guard, are both deserving of con- gratulations for their excellent showing at inspection, the details of which are printed below: First regiment.—The colonel appeared in -| full dress uniform, and the staff in un- dress. First battalion.—Genera! appearance, mili- tary bearing and steadiness, excellent. It would be manifestly unjust not to mention the fact that the word “excellent” fails to express the almost perfect and faultless appearance of this battalion during the preliminary inspection. The set up and bearing of the men were almost perfect, while their steadiness in ranks could not be surpassed. It was quite evident that from the major down every man was de- termined to make the inspection creditable to the battalion. The few tactical errors noted below seemed to be more the result of nervousness or over-anxiety to do well than a lack of knowledge of what was required. Only five men were absent—one from com- pany A and four from company D. Com- panies B and C had every man present. Commissioned staff.—The quartermaster and surgeon did not hold swords correctly at an order, and did not return them prop- erly, The adjutant’s aguillette was not regulation. Non-commissioned staff—Hospital steward did not return sword correctly. Company A.—One man had first two fin- gers of right hand under gun sling at the order. Two men started to close their cartridge boxes with left hand, correcting themselves before executing the movement. Two men came from right shoulder to order improperly. The officers went through in- spection and muster correctly in every re- spect. One corporal had neither chevrons nor stripes. One man had no figure on helmet. One man’s coat was partly unbuttoned. Two men had cartridge box fiaps unbut- toned. Eleven men failed to portarms after lowering hammer of piece. One man wore soiled gloves and one man wore torn gloves. One man came to order arms without steadying piece with left hand. Two men wore patent leather shoes. The belts of two men had slides missing. One man had piece at half cock, and one man had ham- mer down’at the order. Company B.—The company commander did not accompany inspecting officer. Three Pieces rested incorrectly on the ground at an order. One man falied to open cartridge box. Four men came incorrectly from right shoulder to an order. The commanding officer's back sling of belt was not in center of body. One man wore torn gloves. Nine men failed to port arms after lowering hammer of piece at inspection arms. The butt of one piece was placed too far to rear of right toe at the “order.” One man had hammer at half cock, and one man iad hammer down, pleces at the “order.” Sev- eral belts looked rusty, and needed black- ing. Company C.—The second lieutenant failed to take position prescribed in drill regula- tions during inspection of company. Four pieces rested incorrectly on the ground at an “order.” The first Heutenant’s back sling of belt was not in center of body. One man had coat unhooked at collar. The first sergeant's coat did not fit well. Eight men failed to resume port arms after lowering hammer at inspection of arms. Two men lowered hammer before closing chamber, and one other man attempted to do the same. The beit of one man had a slide missing. One man wi torn gloves. One man had no rifle, although he carried a cartridge box. One man kept left hand raised opposite the breast after piece was taken from him by the inspector. One man Placed butt of piece too far to right of right toe at the “order.” One man had hammer down, piece at the “order.” One man kept moving piece and shifting feet during mus- ter. Company D.—The captain forgot to give the command, “Attention to muster.” Both leutenants failed to take positions prescrib- ed in drill regulations during inspection. No. 1 man‘of second four from the right-of the company in the front rank insisted on turning his head many times and watching some spectators, and spoiled the otherwise perfect steadiness of the company. Several men did not come froma right shoulder to an “order” correctly. The first and second leutenants had back sling of belt out of place and second lieutenant had no sword knot. Three men had figures’ I6ose on shield of helmet. Two men had coats part- iy unbuttoned. One corporal had no chev- Tons or stripes on uniform. One man stood with feet in improper position. One man wore patent leather shoes. One man wore torn gloves. Two men had hammers at half cock, pieces at the “order.” The bar- rel of one rifle was very dirty under the sight leaf. The belt of one man had a siide missing. One rifle had a rusty chamber and the hammer of another worked very hard. One man raised piece for inspection with barrel down instead of up. Two men lower- ed hammer before closing chamber, and three men failed to port arms after lower- ing hammer. One man took piece from in- spector with both hands instead of with the left hand only. First Separate Battalion. First separate battalion.—This battalion put up the best general inspection in its history. General appearance, very good; military bearing, very good; steadiness, good. Commissioned staff.—Remained at a carry during preliminary inspection and were not familiar with the handling of the sword. The inspector of rifle practice did not carry sword as prescribed in drill regulations. The major had to repeat the command, “Rest,” after preliminary inspection, so as to be heard. The major seemed to be the only officer in the battalion who carried a sword knot. The belt plates and buttons through- out the battalion were in an unusually c! and bright condition. No dirty or rusty guns could be found. Company A—This company presented a very fine appearance, were well sized and preserved excellent steadiness in ranks. The men showed by the handling of the plece attention to instruction given, while the officers went through the inspection and muster without an error. One man Fad his piece incorrectly on the ground at sn order. One man had one heel noticeably in rear of the other standing at attention. The first and second lieutenants wore braid that was not regulation on blouses. Several men wore white lawn ties. One man had hammer at half cock, and one man had hammer at full cock, pieces at the order. One man wore belt too loose, and one man wore belt improperly hooke One man’s blouse was partly unbuttoned, and two men wore service chevrons incorrectly placed. One man had no letters on collar of blouse. Thirteen men failed to “port arms’ before closing chamber of piece at inspection, and thirteen failed to port arms after lower- ing hammer before returning to the order. Two men lowered hammer before closing chamber. Company B—This company would have looked much better had it been sized. It was not divided into platoons and had no guides for the left of the first and the right of the second platoon. The men were very unsteady in ranks, and the rear rank was improperly formed. The guides did not re- turn to their posts at the command “front,” after opening ranks. The captain did not return sword correctly. Two men had their heels unnecessartly apart, and six men did rot stand with their heels on the same line. ‘The company requires instruction in the manual of arms. The captain did not ac- company inspector as soon as inspected. The first sergeant did not order sword correctly. Four men had service chevrons on wrong. One man wore blouse much too large for him, and one man had blouse part- ly unbuttoned. Three men had hammers at half cock, and two men_had hammers down, pieces at the order. One man opened chamber of piece for inspection with first finger. One man kept turning head and looking around while his piece was being inspected. Fifteen men failed to port arms before closing chamber of piece at inspec- tion of arms, and nineteen men failed to port arms after lowering hammer. Four men took piece from inspector with both hands, instead of with the left hand only. One man attempted to lower piece to the eS Se Te, Sates ft WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1894-TWELVE PAGES, _ order without closing chamber or lowering bee panied after inspection. pany C.—This company is ‘composed of a fine looking lot of men and would have appeared much better had it been sized. ‘The rear rank was formed incorrectly. The captain did not return sword correctly, the second Heutenant did not order sword cor- rectly, and both lieutenants saluted in an- swering to their names at muster. The cempany was fairly steady, but requires in- struction in the manual of arms. There were no guides for the left of the first or right of the second platoon. One man raised his hand to his face during inspec- tion. Several pieces were not correctly on the ground at an “order,” and two men did not have heels on the same line. Six men came from right shoulder to order arms im- properly. The captain had no whistle visi- ble. The first sergeant appeared to be un- familiar with- the manuai of the sword. He wore a blouse too large for him and failed to order sword when his name was called at muster. This man was excused before conclusion of muster, on account of sickness. One man had button missing on blouse, and one man had numbers missing on cap. One man wore a belt too loose. One man had service chevrons on wrong. One man wore soiled gloves and two men wore torn gloves. Two men held first and second fingers under sling of rifle at the “order.” One blouse was torn or moth- eaten. Two men had letters “D. C.” re- versed on blouse. One man had letter “D” upside down on blouse. One man did not steady piece with left hand in coming to the “order” from inspection. Fifteen men failed to port arms before closing chamber after inspection of piece, and twenty men failed to port arms after lowering hammer. One man had hammer at half cock and one man had hammer down, pieces at the “‘or- der.” One man lowered piece to the order without closing chamber or lowering ham- mer after inspection. One man fell to the floor during the muster, evidently overcome by the strain from standing so long at at- tention. Company D.—This company presented a very good appearance and was well sized. A number of the men, however, were very unsteady during inspection, several of them watching the movements of the inspecting onicer. The first lieutenant failed to come to carry sword at the command “‘inspec- tion arms.” During preliminary inspection only five men had the first two fingers of their right hands outside the gun sling at an “order.” One corporal raised his hand to his face during inspection. The heels of four of the men were not on the same line and one man had his piece on the ground at least five inches from his foot. The non- ecmmissioned officers were all posted ac- cording to regulation. Several men came from right shoulder to order arms incor- reetly, and instruction is needed in the manual of arms. The captain held sword at the carry instead of at the “order” dur- ing preliminary inspection. ‘Two men had service chevrons on wrong. Several men Wore torn gloves. One man had coat partly unbuttoned. One man had cap tilted back on head. One man had pin or needle stuck in blouse. One man had handkerchief | | showing. One mau had letters “D. C." re- versed on blouse. Three men had hammers down, pieces at the “order.” One man had broken -spring in breech-biock. One man} had hammer resting on breech-block. | Twenty-tive men failed to port arms before | closing chamber of piece at inspection of arms, and twenty-ihree failed to port arms after lowering hammer. Several men held Pieces incorrectly at the “order.” —~. ON TRACK AND ROAD. Attempts at Record Brenking to Be Made, Local wheelmen are now interested in events of the track and road, and some at- tempts at record breaking will no doubt be made during the summer and fall months. Several years ago two or three | riders had things all their own way, so far | as racing was concerned, but during the last five years the younger riders have ap- peared from time to time and indulged in| lowering records, until there are now fully | fifty good racers here. The young riders have not only learned the ways of the older ones, but have added new tricks, until the older ones have had to step aside and leave the field for their younger successors. In the matter of the Wahl-Yeatman rec- ords friends of both parties are equally confident concerning the one entitled to the twenty-four-hour and other records. Wahl claims the twenty-four-hour American rec- ord, and says that Yeatman has no claim | on the ten-hour record, claiming .that he | (Wahl) has proofs to substantiate what he | says. He also disputes the claim that Clapp and Hutchings lowered the ten-mile record during the road race. “But,” says Wahl, “as I intend to lower this record considerably before the close of the season, I will let them fake it.” Records in Maryland. “The Century Cycle Club of Maryland ts taking considerable interest in road events in Maryland and the District of Columbia, and a committee of the club appointed to settle such questions is composed of John | T, Brooks, chairm Albert Mott, A. Cc. Willison and F. W. Kirk. This committee is acting under a resolution which provides: That the committee record speed perform- ances made on the road over accurately surveyed distances, or on routes of general interest between well-defined points, with- out regard tq exact distances; provided that the road record committee shall receive from the promoters of road events, in which | records are claimed to be made, certitied | Statements within thirty days after the | events occur that the distances have been correctly measured by surveyors, or in case of records being claimed over certain routes, irrespective of distance, that the starts and finishes have occurred at specified points, and in both cases they shall receive the | Statement of at least two, and, if possible, three, timekeepers present at the start, and | two, and, if possible, three, timekeepers at | the finish, certifying that the times claimed are correct and that the watches were co! pered and their accuracy as timepieces e: tablished before the start; and provided, further, the fact is established that check- ers were stationed so as to preclude any questions as to distances covered. This committee wil! pass upon claims to records made or claimed to have been made on the roads. To this committee Mr. Wahl has sent his proofs, and an early report is expected. Mesers, Yeatman, Clapp and Hutchings are willing to go on the road with Wahl and settle the disputed record. John C. Wood of | the Washington Road Club, who is now traveling salesman for a bicycle company, expects to return home about July 1, and he announces that he is willing to meet Wahl in a road race of twenty miles or less soon after his return. While these records are being discussed the disinterested ones are in training for the race meets. in this section, nd conse- quently they are “not in it’ so far as the dispute is concerned. John J. Fister of the Georgetown Cycle Club will make an effort to break the twenty-four-hour record on June 1. He is a good rider, and his friends are confident thet he will cover more ground than was covered by either Wahl or Yeatman, and thus end that part of the controversy. Last week there was a L. A. W. meet- ing Held at the residence of Chief Con- sul French, at which members of the Dis- trict of Columbia division racing board were appointed as follows: J. H. Brittain, chair- man; H. H. Miller, secretary; George W. Bennett, C. H. Grace and B. F. Larcombe. Negro Democratic Club, ‘The Negro Democratic Congressional Club, organized for the purpose of advancing the work of the party among the colored peaple ef the country, held a meeting on Monday evening at 2112 I street. Every state was represented, and all those present expressed the heartiest Interest in the movement. A great deal of business of importance to the club was transacted. The officers are C. L. Barnes of Pennsylvania, president, and S. Koonce of this city, secretary. To Parade on Memorial Day. Brig. Gen. Albert Ordway, commanding the District of Columbia militia, has de- cided to order out the entire brigade for pa- rade on Memorial day, Wednesday, May 30, to serve as an escort to the Grand Army of the Republic. Heretofore it has been the custom for but one battalion, the fifth (Union Veteran Corps), to participate in thé parade, but as the guard has not ap- peared in public for several months Adjt. Gen. Mosher is now at work on the official order providing for a big turnout. The troops will rendezvous about 9 a.m. _——>— Off for Albany. Warden Leonard last night transported the following District convicts to the Al- bany penitentiary: EM Moore and Frank Jackson, second offense, petty larceny, three years each; Will Carter, do., one year and a @ay; Daniel Reardon, larceny from the per- son, three years and six months; Anderson Page, second offense of petty larceny, two years and six months; Thomas Williams, housebreaking, three years; George Haw- kins, do., four years and six months; Wil- em Baker. do.. three vears. THE SENATE'S DUTY Senator Dubois’ Significant Speech |" Upon the Tariff Bill. THE PENDING MEASURE CRITICISED But Action of Some Kind is Needed at Once. HIS BELIEF IN PROTECTION —-————_ One of the most significant speeches that has been heard in the: Senate during the tariff discussion was made by Senator Du- bois this afternoon. It was a scorching criticism of the democratic tariff bill, but demanded speedy action, and the views expressed are supposed to be concurred in by a considerable number of republicans in the Senate. It appeared to foreshadow a breaking up of any plan republicans may have in view for a filibuster. Mr. Dubois said: I have no great desire to make a speech upon the pending measure. If a genuine effort had been made by the democratic party to carry out the plain and unmistaka- ble pledges contained in the platform on which it came into power, if its representa- tives had framed and presented to us and the country a bill which was honestly and sincerely a “tariff for revenue only"’ meas- ure, if they had united on a bill which meant and showed on its face that “pro- tection was a fraud,” was unconstitutional and was to be destroyed, a full, fair and in- teresting discussion could have been had as to the respective advantages to our en- tre country of the policies of free trade or protection, and principles. From the utterances of the leaders of the democratic party during the recent cam- pa‘gn, and particularly during the last presidential contest, and from the language in their platform, the country was pre- parel to sce the issue fairly joined, as be- tween tariff for revenue only or free trade, and protection for the sake of protection to American industries. ‘The Democrats’ Opportunity. The democratic party had, and still has, the opportunity to make the fight squarely, pass a bill which will present their system to the people so that they may make a choice and settle this vexed tariff question for years to come. It will be manly and patriotic in them to do this, and will gain for them the credit and respect which al- Ways accompanies honesty and singerity. I should be glad to discuss such a bill Many Senators who will sit silently in their seats during this entire debate would be pleased to contribute their thoughts in the discussion of these great and opposing prin- ciples. As we find ourselves now, however, the discussion is dwarfed. We hardly know what we are debating. At first we had the Wilson bill, which was crude, inconsistent represented nothing but the desire to reduce the revenues of the government. We then had the Voorhees bill, which was less crude, equally inconsistent and represented chiefly a desire to increase the revenues of the government. We then had the commit- tee amendments to the Voorhees bill, which made it more symmetrical, but left it equal- ly inconsistent and illogical. We now have the Gorman bill, which does not cure the defects of the previous measures and repre- sents the individual wishes and interests of the constituents of the individual Senators upon the democratic side. All of these measures are protective, pure and simple. The “protection” has been transferred from some localities to others. It has been modified, lessened in degree, in some in- stances; in others, instead of “specific” pro- tection, we have “ad valorem” protection. The principle of protection.is as fully recog- nized in the bill before us as in the MeKin- ley act, The marked difference in the two measures fs that the pending bill is unequal and unjust, and is designed to favor in- dividuals and sections, while the other ex- tended the principle of protection to every Portion of our country. Inasmuch as the principle of protection is fully recognized by the dominant party, and they have completely abandoned the plat- form and pledges upon which they came in< to power, there is nothing left for us to quarrel and contend about ‘except the various schedules. As the dominant party has now, and, it is to be hoped, for the last time, arranged these schedules, and, as in this last compromise they have protected the industries in the states of the different democratic Senators sufficiently to satisfy the demands of those Senators, I take it the measure is now pe-fected, and will pass or be defeated as It stands. A Wrong to His State, I feel that great wrong has been done the state which I have the honor to in part rep- resent, in the framing of this bill. Of all the great so-called raw materials, wool and lumber alone are put on the free list. This is an invidious, ‘unjust, illogical and inde- fenstble distinction. It will cause great loss to a young state, which has already suf- fered much through tilly advised legislation. The inconsistency of the wool schedule is shown by the fact that while the raw ma- terial is placed on the free Hst, all the man- ufactured products of wool are made duti- able. In every other instance in this bill, I think, where the manufactured article is protected the raw material from which it is made is also protected. Your bill will de- stroy the wool industry in the far west without corresponding benefit to any class of peopie. I am fully aware that I cannot stop you, for eur section of country ts not the section in whose interest you are legis- lating. You were more consistent in regard to lead ore, and I desire to return my thanks for the consideration with which you have treated this, the greatest product of my state. While the protection of three-quarters of a cent per pound on lead ore.is hardly sufficient to enable us to compete with Mex- ico, British Columbia and Spain, which is evidenced by the fact that under the pres- ent duty of one and cne-half cents per pound great quantities of lead ore were shipped in from Mexico, still, as you re- duced the duties on white lead, pig lead and the various manufactured products of lead ore one-half in each instance, thus making no unjust discrimination against Jead ore, we have no particular cause for complaint in regard to this industry. We contend that nobody will be benefited by this reduction, and that many will be in- jured, but as you meted out to us the same relative measure of protection that you gave the white lead trust and the smelting combine, we are thankful for the favor and. grateful for the consideration. Our complaint, so far as lead ore is con- cerried, is against the manner and methods used in the construction of the entire bill. As you have presented a bill which is de- signed to protect various ihdustries, the lead schedule should not have been changed. No one wiil reap any benefit from the lower duties. I trust the protection accorded lead ore will keep our miners employed at good wages and make profitable business for the thousands of farmers, merchants, mechanics and other industrious citizens whose pros- perlty depends almost entirely upon the continued operation of the lead-silver mines. The government has been cheated and robbed of at least one-half of the duty it should receive on lead ore through improper sampling at ports of entry. By this rob- bery of the government as much lead ore is smuggled in free as pays duty. I shall offer an amendment at the proper time to prevent this smuggling, and will hope for the support of the finance committee and Senators on the other side of the chamber. I will reserve any further remarks in ex- planation until the lead schedule is reached, Protection Wpst Be Followed. In discussing a bill like the one before us, which is not a free trade or tariff-for-rev- enue-only measure, but which is confessedly a bill for the protection of American indus- tries, although following no well-defined Mnes, yet protecting here and there, the necessity for securing votes for Lees demands, the fact is developed and made plain that in our young and undeveloped country, which is matchless in its resources, the policy of consistent and logical protec- tion must be followed for many years to come. Our people, whether native or for- eign born, demand, and are entitled to, steady employment and good wages. They expect, and should receive, sufficient recom- pense for their labor to enable them to live well and to properly clothe and educate their children. It is our boast that under our institutions the avenues are open to all and that any one may travel them to the highest point of distinction in any calling. Our Jaws should be so framed that the minds and bodies of the children of our laboring classes should not be ill-fed. They should be given a fair start and chance in the race of life. as questions of economics Tye democratic party has, presenting the pending bill, admitted that labor cannot be fairly donlt with under a free-trade er $ § & ; Ey s ty g e protective one, as I have said, yet it Hlogical that great harm must result I am a firm believer in the policy of pro- tection.

Any Action Will Be a Relief. Until your mints are open to the free and unlimited coinage of silver as well as gold falling prices, stagnation in business, lack of employment, distress and misery must remain with us. I think the passage of the pending bill, or any bill, will tempo- rarily relieve the present most lamentable condition of affairs. I believe if this bill were defeated and the present law uilowed to remain, there would be greater activity in business and more employment for cap- ital and labor at better prices.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have just rea@ the communitation of Mr. E. M. Burchard of Hyattsville, 44: headed “Hyattsville and the Commonweal- ers,” published in The Star of May 13. Coucerring his attack upon your corre- spondent here, I have nothing to say, well knowirg that newspaper men generally are able to take care of themselves. Mr. Burchard, however, quotes from the Good Book the words “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these,” ete., and it may be his poiat is well taken; but I would like to invite Mr. Burchard’s attent.on to another very apt quotation from the same book. It is: “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh- bor.” When Mr. Burchard says, as he ap- pears to do, and that over his own signa- ture, that “in 1894 Dr. Rogers was nearly mobbed at Bladensburg for the very miid- est exhibition of Christian virtue,” mean- ing thereby and asserting that the delega- tion of citizens from Hyattsvijle and Blade:.sburg who called upon him to se- cure from him a revocation of the permis- sion given the Coxey army to encamp upon the confines of our village, Mr. Burchard (inadvertently, let us hope, but no less as a matter of fact) makes a statement which he does not know to be true, for the simple reason that it is not true. I was one of a committee appointed to wait upon Dr. and to ask him whether he would receive the delegation above referred to. We mitt Dr. Rogers’ son upon the porch, the gentlemen con- stituting the full delegation having in the meantime collected on the lawn in front of the house. In a few minutes Dr. Rogers appeared, and, gracefully greeting and shaking hands with us, waited to hear what we had to say. Dr. Charles A. Wells was our spokesman, and he in a few well- chosen, earnest words stated the cause of our coming, and preferred to Dr. Rogers the request of about 200 citizens or more of Hyattsville and Bladensburg that permis- sion to the Coxey army to camp on his place should be withdrawn. Dr. Rogers Was exceedingly cordial, perfectly calm. When Dr. Wells was through and one or two others had volunteered a few words the doctor, in a clear, well-sustained and resonant voice, gave us his reasons why he felt constrained to deny our request. After the doctor had made manifest his in- tenticn to refuse Dr. Wells said: “Well, gentlemen, that en it.” Dr, Owens, I think, remarked: “We ‘must then protect ourselves,” or words to that effect, and a remark of the same general nature was made by myself.* There were two or three little earnest speeches made by members of the committee, but all in the most pacific strain. During the whole interview I stood immediately on the left in front of Dr. Rogers, who stood in the doorway, and was in position to hear every word that was said. There were no threats and no ef- forts at intimidation, and nothing said or done with that intention, and the delega- tion from Hyattsville were obliged to await communication to the newspapers to Jearn that anything had occurred which could possibly be so construed.

This club was organized by the ladies of the All Souls’ Unitarian Church in the spring of 1890. Among the women of the church were many of enlightened views, who desired to undertake philanthropic work and whose aim was to he deficiencies that already existed or perhaps create new opportunities for charitable work. In organizing the club it was decid- @A.thet membership should not be limited to the church, but that a welcome should be extended to all women in sympathy with its broad and liberal views and its philan- thropic work. One of the first objects to Need badge tae ne ag on attention was = jong-de! Project for a reform sch: for girls.

A Center of Activity. Various free kindergartens established im different parts of the city originated with the club. A free reading room has also been in successful operation for gwo win- ters. The ladies secured the house 1335 V street, and under the care of a janitor the rooms are warmed end lighted and every evening for a boys’ club. Quite a brary has been collected. the books being donated by interested 4s. A commit- tee of ladies is th attehdance on the dif- ferent evenings, whose effort has been to improve and instruct’as well as entertain the boys. They endeavor to impress upon them the virtues of truthfulness and neat- nesg, not forgetting humanity to atimals. U the care of these ladjes g free cook- ing school was also established and a course of lessons given for the benefit of the poor. A needle work guild was also started on the usual plan. : But while many of the mcmbérs are thus epgaged in charity work another section of the club devotes itself to ‘thollght and study" and has been engaged in the investi- gation of social questions, devoting also much time to the study of phflosophy and pyschology. The meetings are held otice a month, and after the various committees have reported their work some essay is read by a.member of the club or by some one in sympathy with the philanthropic work that engages the interest and at- tention of all - = ‘The first president of the club as well as one &f the earliest originatdrs of the whole movement was Mrs. Totten, who for two yesrs presided with grace and tact.
