At 7:30 the school formed in the Sunday school room and marched in seemingly end- Jess double columns into the church. They gang as a processional Sullivan's “Onward, Christian Soidiers,” and were accompanied by a large orchestra. Several choruses were = by the school with much spirit and ife; Scripture readings, a solo by Miss Alice Pillsbury, a recitation by Mr. David Waters and an anthem, “Lord, Who Art Merciful,” by Bagiol, which was finely rendered by @ chorus of boys. Special features of the service were a motion song by a dozen or more of the tiniest of the little ones from the infant class, all dressed in white, and an exercise by the okier members of the game class.

Chewning—Pathetic Letters Foand in the Pockets— Will Probably Recove Last evening about $ o'clock, when the Scores of persons who had enjoyed the warm afternoon in the Smithsonian grounds were returning to their homes, leaving in the park the many loving couples to oc- cupy the benches in the shadows of the few gas lights, there was one unhappy man left to pace the walks and think over what appeared to him to be his approaching end. He clinched his fists and occasionally was seen to strike himself on the head, and soon his nervous system was no longer able to endure the strain and he fell from ex- haustion. Hunger was his trouble, and this, added to thoughts of his suffering famil: almost drove him insane. When he fell on the walk near the build- ing the ambulance was sent for and the sufferer was conveyed to the Emergency Hospital. There it was found that his name is A. C. Chewning. He is about forty-five years old, and is a resident of Basic City. Virginia. Several weeks ago he came here from Virginia, expecting a government situation. In his poekets the doctors found two letters, a receipt for room rent and papers to show that he had probably been in communication with the civil service commission and the Treasury Department officials. One of the letters, from Mrs. M. L. Chewning, his wife, nailed at Basic City, tells a sad story of the condition of the family, reading as follows: A Pitifal Letter. “I kept from you as far as I could our real state, hoping every day that you would be able to send a few cents, at least, to get a pound of butter and some sugar to put on the children’s bread. We have bread, but are without tea or coffee. I thought youc¢oul . possibly relieve us, but as yous Il send small means today, 1 wi so. We have had nothing to eat re left Miss Sue's, and this fs as long as we*can starve without ill results. My children are starving and pleading for food, that 1 cannot give them, and it is nothing to my credit to keep it from you, even though 1 know that you are doing the best that you can. You should have told that man Wednesday that yeur wife and children were starving, and asked him to pay you something. God find fecd to strengthen you. You cannot work without eating.” Continuing, the wife tells of how the | neighbors had fed the little ones at times and closes with an appeal to God to better the condition of the family. His Own Letter. There was also an unmailed letter writ- ten by the husband, and probably writ- ten soon after he received the letter from his wife. In this letter he said: “GENERAL DELIVERY, “Washington, D. C., May 31, 1894. “My Dear Little Wife and Our Very Dear and Precious Children: I am now en- urely out of both work and money, and you at home daily looking and hoping for scme money from your husband and papa to keep starvation away; but, alas! I have not one cent to save life. “Besides, I am sick and growing worse daily. I feel very much like I felt when we lived in Roanok2, before I had that severe attack of brain fever. My aching brain feels like it would burst. “Oh, my dear, little, helpless family! what will you do? What can you do these hard times if I should be stricken down with that dreadful brain fever? God pro- tect, preserve, shield, spare and provide for you! I have been fighting against some kind of sickness now for about two months. “With great desire to see you all and be with you, I am your sufferfmg husband and papa, “A. C.

The patient was unable to take nourtsh- ment when he first reached the hospital, but under Dr. Johnson's treatment he soon showed signs of improvement, and this morning he was decidedly better. The doctor is certain that he will recover. re oraae Sees as TROUBLE IN CAMP. wal wi Reincarnation Causes a Split in the Industrial Ranks. The commonweal camp at Stegmaiter’s was visited by a number of people from Washington yesterday. Carriages drove In and out ef the grounds all day. Two games of base ball were played between picked nires from Washington—one in the morn- ing and the other in the evening—but no disturbance of any kind occurred. In the afternoon Marshal McKee of the Philadel- phia commune and “Gen.” Frye of the “in- dustrial” army made speeches upon the subjects that have beef pretty much worn out by Coxey and Browne. Mrs. Dundore, Mrs. McKinsey Burns and Mrs. Capt. Will- jams of the public comfert committee of Washington also made speeches, In which they promised to stand by the commonweal cause and render it all the assistance they could. Carl Browne, in his order of Sat- urday night, severely cyiticised Justice Field for not considering his petition. There was no speaking at Camp George Washington in Bladensburg yesterday, where Galvin and his men are located. Gal- vin stated to The Star reporter that Browne must have mesmerized Frye when he visit- ed him in jail on Fricay, as he came back after the interview and endeavored to make the California “industri wear the Coxey badge. Therefore the men had left Camp Bastile by vote, as they would neither wear the Coxey badge nor accept the reincarna- tion theory of Carl Browne, and that Frye in becoming a subordinate marshal under Browne had forfeited the command of that part of the industrial army. Ward, who is Galvin’s chief of staff, denounced Frye as a renegade and a deserter for not observing the constitution of the industrial army. The men did not regard themselves as rebels, but as deserters from the reincarna- tion theory, whose principles could not be purchased for a few loaves of bread. Gal- vin has been elected in Frye’s place a com- mander of that part of the industrial army. Frye said yesterday that he could not be deprived of the leadership of the army, ex- cept by a vote of the entire army. He was of the opinion that the men who had come with him the distance of 3,300 miles wOuld prefer him to Galvin and soon return to him at Camp Bastile. Marshal Bullock of the Coxeyites visited the camp at Bladens- burg yesterday evening with the ladies who addressed the commonwealers. ‘These ladies endeavored to effect a reconciliation be- tween the rebels and the Coxeyites, but to determined not to accept the reiftcarnation doctrine of Brewne. Galvin bade the ladies a polite adieu, and left them while they were making their appeal. The Galvin men have no tents to sleep in, and most of them occupy the barn at night. They have no idea of staying long in their present quar- ters. The men are very hungry, and are begging from house to house. It is feared by many persons that if they do not get food they may resort to desperate means to obtain it. There is no little uneasiness among the people of Bladensburg and Hy- attsville over this state of affairs, and sev+ eral families are talking of leaving the neighborhood for a while. Hyattsville has a strict ordinance relating to vagrants and beggars, but the bailiffs have so far made | no efforts to enforce it. —_———__ Im Memory of Mr. Dickey.

DUMBARTON’S CELEBRATION. The Diamond Anniversary of Sunday School. The first day of the Dumbarton Avenue Sunday school’s diamond anniversary cele bration will long be remembered by those connected with the church... There came to- gether old attaches of the house of worship, who have not seen each other for fifty years. Men of sixty, seventy, eighty and even older, who entered the school when little children, came together and talked after services in affectionate tones of those who had given them their first lessons in Methodism. At 9:30 o'clock the Sunday school was convened, with the oldest living superintendent, Mr. B. H. Stinemetz, pre- siding again. At 11 o'clock there was preaching by Rev. Lyttleton F. Morgan, a power when in his prime. Though now under the weight of years, he is still a preacher of effe:tiveness and 4 master of beautiful expressions. He spoke of the living, speaking evidences of en infinite and omnipotent God, a God of love, a God of mercy. The singing was unusually fine, the re- lections being most appropriate to the oc- casion. At the public service in the after- noon at 3-Mr. Jesse H. Wilson read en en- tertaining sketch of the Sunday school’s birth and growth, speaking of its influeace in building ‘up the morals of its adherents and praising those who, in the past end present, have done so much in its service. Messrs. Chas. H. Stocking, A. W. Eastlock and John T. Mitchell were other speakers at this service, warming up to their subjects and speaking eloquently on the subjects selected. The development of the work of the Sunday school to its present splendid system, the part taken in the building up by women and the influence being exerted by the school were elaborated upon to the entertainment of all. At 8 p. m. there were platform addresses by Rev. Drs, McCauley and Dashiell, old pastors. Dr. J. B. Stitt, the present pastor, praidéd at the morning service the great interest taken in the school by the present si perin- tendent, Mr. J. W. Kirkley, and credited him with having origiaated end largely assisted in the carrying out of the velebra- tion project. ‘The decorations of the church were elab- orate and beautiful; palms, flowers cnd evergreens were throughout the butiding in cooling profusion. On the platform were ofl paintings of the founders of the Sunday school, Messrs. McKefiney and Dickson, and of one of its greatest pacrons, Mr. Henry Foxhall, the —— THE CHURCHM. LEAGUE. A Largely Attended Meeting Satur- day Night. The Churchman’s League of the District of Columbia held a meeting Saturday even- ing at St. John’s parish hall, which was largely attended.

It is expe:ted that several bishops and other prominent mem- bers of the church, now here, will be pres- ent, having been invited. There will be in- teresting speeches. The*Rev. Drs.

The league adjourned until the next regulat meeting in the fall. ‘ —_—_—_. The Emmet Guards Benefit. ‘The approaching interstate drill at Little Rock, Ark., July 4, at which most, if not all, of the crack military organizations in the country will be present and compete, has aroused the soldier boys of this city. Two companies so far have signified their intention to compete for the championship, and 1f possible keep it here in the shadow of the obelisk named for America’s first mil- itary hero. The friends of the .Emmet Guard, one of the companies that will com- pete, have decided to give an entertainment at Albaugh’s Opera House on June 16, for the benefit of the company’s drill fund.
