F., the central na- tional body of that organization in this country, will begin, at Chattanooga, Tenn., its annual session, which will last one week. Representatives from the local lodges will attend not only for the purpose of aiding in the transaction of the business of the or- der, but of presenting to the Sovereign Lodge the invitation of this jurisdiction to Police i | ‘) and the M | medic one, hold the next session in this city. Wasn- ington has never entertained this body, and the local members of the order believe that with a little persuasion, the Sovereign Grand Ledge can be brought here in 1895. But there is strong opposition. One of the Canadian cities, the home of. the present srand sire, is eager for the honor, and Bal- timore, where are the headquarters of the grand secretary, is also earnest in the fight. ‘The home of the order has recently been re- moved to Baltimore, and this tact is being urged with some effect. The representatives from the District to the session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge are Wm. F. Allan, F. A. Stier and Joseph Burroughs. Washington has practically another representative in the person of Mr. D. R. Stansbury, who, though he resides in Alexandrii, is in business in this city. He has been chosen as a representative from Virginia. No Aid to Be Asked From Citizen: ‘The local lodges have resolved that if the session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge shall be brought to Washington, there will be no aid asked from the citizens, but that every expense will be paid by the order itself. Though there is a uniformed rank in this body, as in the Knights of Pythias, there is no encampment at the annual sessions, end the representatives of the order stop at hotels wherever they go.

There is probably no better indication of the true state of the locai real estate market than that to be found in the busi- hess of the recorder of deeds’ office. When the market Is active the business of the oifice is correspondingly large, and the ncrease or decrease in the number of ers filed registers with almost the pre- | cision of a thermometer the rise or fall of business in the real estate world. the Despit? the prevailing opinion that there has net y ction in the local real estate market the business of the re- corde otlice shows that during last menth there was a decided increase over that of August, 1803, That fact is ali the more gratifying when $ remembered that August is about the mth of the year in real estate But, as -gratifying as the in- of business of lasi month was, the filed so far this month shows that if the same ratio is maintained roughout the month the present mon iil not oaly evidence a most decided in- crease of business over that of Septembe 18.4, but will also compare very favorably with the business done in the same month of the past few years. - Deputy Recorder of Deeds Schayer, is a close vbserver of such matters, to a Star rej believed that number of paper: who stated rter this afternoon that he @ on the eve of an- r great re the real estate mar- Since the Ist of last month there had been a steady growth in business.

Resvlutions Adopted in Regard to the Recent Lynching and Camp Meetings. ‘The Washington district conference of the Washington annual conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, held at Rockville, Md., last week, was a great success. The pre- siding elder, Rev. W. H. Brooks, presided over the conference, giving entire satisfac- tion, and received at the close the thanks of the members. Rey. McHenry J. Naylor was elected secretary, with Geo. W. Book assistant. A very lively discussion grew out of the elder’s report, in which he took strong ground against the modern camp meeting. Revs. D. N. Hays, A. Dennis, W. R. J. Wil- liams, R. H. Alexander, B. F. Myers, M. J. Naylor, T. H. Brooks, J. Barnes, Moses Lake, D. Wheeler, S. A. Lewis, and Messrs. John Berry, Lioyd Anderson, Ford Slater and D. D. Johnson took part tm the discus- sion. At its close the following resolution was adopted: “In view of the evils which generally a’ tend camp meetings, Resolved, That we, the members of this conference now assem- bled, do condemn the camp meetings as con- ducted in most places, and pledge ourselves to remedy the evils or discontinue the camps altogether.” At the Epworth League meeting Rev. William Bell was elected president of the district league, J. Towsend Benson, vice rresident; Miss Lodocia Butler, secretary, and Jullus J. Chilcoat, treasurer. Among those who read papers were Rev. W. R. Davis, whose subject was “The Methodist Element in the Affairs of the World;” Rev. S. A. Lewis, “Have We a Right to Protect the Sabbath by Law?’ Dr. D. W. Hays, “The Preaching Demanded by the Times,” and Rev. T. H. Brooks, “Minis- terial Culture and Efficiency.” x Reports were read from pastors, local preachers, exhorters, class leaders, district stewards, superintendents and presidents of Jipworth League chapters. Six young men were licensed to preach. Five were discon- tinued, because of inefficiency. : Asbury, Washington, was selected as the place for the holding of the next conference. Hospitable entertainment was - furnished by the pastor, Rev. D. Wheeler, and the members of his congregation. Lynching Condemned. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: “Whereas, the Christian world has again been shocked by the recent brutal and out- rageous lynching of the six negroes near Kerryville, Tenn., therefore, be it “Resolved, That we, the members of this district conference, sincerely deplore these frequent outbreaks of mob violence, which merit the strongest condemnation from every quarter. We would most respectfully id earnestly call upon all lovers of Chris- tian civilization to labor assiduously in bringing about a more healthy public sentl- ment’ respecting such atrocious crimes, which not only violate the law of God and man, but are a menace to our civil institu- tions. We highly commend the prompt and earnest efforts that have been put forth by the authorities of the aforesaid state for the arrest and speedy punishment of the mur- derous lynchers."” —--— THE HOPE AND HELP MISSION. Mts Annual Report Submitted to the Superintendent of Charities, The board of managers of the Hope and Help Mission, Mrs. S. D. La Fetra, chair- man, have submitted their annual report to the superintendent of charities, and it states: “That the Mission is located at 604 Hi street northwest, has a buflding of ten rooms, cheery and well ventilated, all of which are used as a temporary home for poor, destitute cr fallen women and xirls, and women temporarily out of em- ployment. It has often proven a shelter for drunkards’ wives and small children when driven from home by cruelty or dea- titution. It is non-sectarian In its man- agement. Mrs. E. Catlin {$ the secre- tary, Mrs. E. K. Knowles, official visitor; Mr. T. Jarvis, treasurer, and Mr. James Ir. Petty, finance committee or auditor. A small appropriation ($500) is made from the poor fund especially allowed the Com- missioners for charity work, and the bal- ance, uggregating about $1,400, Is contrib- uted by the kind-hearted ‘citizens of the District in cash, provisions, ete., all of which is most gratefully acknowledged. From Generous Contributors, “Special mention should be made of Mr. J. Harrington, who has supplied milk daily the past year; aiso of Havenner’s bakery, which has contributed the bread; Wm. M. Galt & Co., flour, etc. Many market men have given meats, fish, vegetables, etc. Eleven thousand six hundred and twenty- nine meals and lunches have been given and three thousand eight hundred and seventy-five lodgings. Four hundred and five different women and children have been aided, an average of over ten per day. “The receipts from the government since last report were as follows: $700 cash; do- nations, $168.10; cash value of provisions, $100; clothing, $100; services rendered by inmates in ex nge for board, $200; cash paid for rent, $568.50, and for matron’s sal- ary, $180, General expenses, cash, $119.70, “Mrs. E. K. Fleck, the motherly hearted matron, has been a constant and self-sac- rificing blessing to the Mission the past year. Scores of letters are received showing deep gratitude on behalf of the beneficiaries of the Mission, many of whom have been returned to their homes in the states, and others nursed and cared for until they have regained strength to enter service places and earn a livelihood. The Hope and Help ts an open door which re- quires no stubborn tmpossibilities to gain adinit ce, and though some who are un- worthy have been helped, ‘God is good to the froward and the unthankful,” and many souls and lives are here redeemed for time and eternity. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: By a recent arrival, we have advices from our sister (or brother) planet Mars, which happens to be nearer to the earth than usual, and, of ccurse, betokens war. It seems, however, that Mars is not a scene of warfare at all. A letter which appears in the Martial Gazeite will give some idea of it. The letter is dated from Anthro- morphus, or the next beyond, nearer the ently referring to this world of The writer says his transit through ours. the etherium was easy and rapid until he reached a dense mass of floating vapor, by which he was nearly suffocated. Descend- ing further, he saw swarms of insignificant creatures crawling on the land, but the surface was mostly water in a violent state of agitation. Those creatures he found to be the people, and they were of all colors, white, black, red, etc. They were fast- ened down to the ground, and unable to rise above it, and in this respect worse off than other creatures cailed birds and fishes. ‘The people dug into the ground for nearly everything, and even cut down the shade trees. They appeared to take their world very hard, and to use it badly, to their own damage. What struck the correspondent most forcibly was the difference of language, laws, manners and customs. There was no homogeneity, and every part of the world Was at variance wita every other part. Neither did the people agree among them- selves. ‘The people (he writes) have to study very hard to learn anything, and are not sure of anything when they do learn tt.

The coal traffic on the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is said at the office to be heavier at the present ti than at any period since the canal was repaired. Yesterday there were shipped from Cum- berland, consigned to Williamsport and Georgetown dealers in coal, cargoes aggre- gating 2,337 tons. There were twenty-three beats in all, carrying an average load of 100 tons. The lightness of the cargoes is caused by the shallowness of the water on the Cumberland level, This level is nine miles in length. Below this point the river widens, and numerous small streams empty themselves into the canal, thus increasing the quantity of water. At the lower end of the level the canal company’s big pump does much toward increasing the water's depth. On 2,337 tons there will be paid in tolls by the time the cargoes reach town $1,104.07. There are nearly 200 working boats on the canal at the present time. The canal’s pres- ent prosperous conditian has been brought about largely through the recent Cumber- land strike, which caused for weeks almost a complete tie-up of the traffic in coal. The orders for the black fuel are coming in overwhelmingly. Most of them are from the. manufacturing cities of New England, where Cumberland and the George's Creek coal is used very extensively. The attivity about the canal company’s office is ahead of any that has been enjoyed for years. Captains are coming and going, paying their tolls and grumbling, and con- signees are hurrying to and fro with live business haste. The coming and going of vessels, bringing ice and carrying coal, 1s doing much for the Water street merchants. ‘The ship chandlers are all on a hustle. There's a horde of stevedores at work all along the wharves of the river and canal. Dr. Robert Heath Dodge leaves tomorrow to take permanent charge of a large sani- tarium near Baltimore. Halleck Donahue, the choirmaster at St. John’s Church, after several weeks’ rest, will resume his work on Thursday next. Benjamin Darneille, who has been spend- ing his vacation with his mother here, leaves on Sunday to resume his theological studies at the Alexandria Seminary. Another still-born infant was found on the wharf near the Columbia boat house yesterday. Ben Brown of the Courant had his fingers severely crushed yesterday while working one of the office presses.

Whipple, Judge Cox yesterday added more to the history of a suit which has been before the local courts ‘since 1870. Mr. Ambler was the owner of a patented process for converting petroleum oll into gas. He entered into a partnership with Mr. Whipple for the purpose of developing the process, Whipple being the monied man. The process was a success, and Mr. Ambler claims that his partner entered into a conspiracy with one Thomas 8. Dickerson to defraud him of his rights. He claims that he was frozen out, and Jan- uary 4, 1870, filed a bill in equity for an ac- counting. He Jost in the suit until it reach- ed the United States Supreme Court, where he won. He also won In a contest in the patent office. The defendants claimed that Mr. Ambler had abandoned his patent rights, but the Urited States Supreme Court decided that he had not, and sent the cese back for further proceedings. June 17, 1880, Mr. Ambler was awarded $067,454.21, and July 31, 18S8, $203,000 ad- ditional. Mr. Whipple is said to be a wealthy resi- dent of Chicago, but Mr. Ambler has been unable to collect the awards. He there- fore applied to Judge Cox for the arrest of Mr. Whipple for failmg to obey the order of the court requiring an accounting. As the defendant without the jurisdiction of the District Supreme Court, the motion was overruled. It is understood that other members of the court have in the past sev- eral years overruled similar motions made by Mr. Ambler. goeeeeee LOPES HETERO LOD® e e e e e e 7 e e BAKING POWDER Absolutely Pure.

Funeral services over the remains of Reuben B. Clark were held at his late resi- dence, 1501 Massachusetts avenue, this afternoon. Rev. Dr. Kent of the People’s Chureb officiated, and interment was made at Oak Hill cemetery. The honorary pall- bearers were M. G. Emery, M. W. Beve- ridge, S. T. G. Morsell, B. F. Baker, Dr. Robert Gunnell, John D. McChesney, L. M. Saunders and F. W. Pilling. The active pallbearers were James T. Russell, Joseph F. Page, W. T. Galliher, J. W. Cooksey, a E. Smithson and Charles E. Galli- er. Mr. Clark was one of the old residents of Washington, and was identified with its business interests in many ways. He was born in New Ipswich, N. H., but on attain- ing his majority came south and settled in Washington about 1845, starting a grocery store at the corner of 4 1-2 and M streets southwest. By attention to business and by his energy and ability he acquired a competence, which grew by judicious in- vestments. Mr. Clark held some public positions, among them being jail commis- sioner, when the old jail was down in the arsenal grounds, and director in the Center Market Company. He was also one of the directors of the Anacostia and Potomuc Railroad Company. He was highly regarded by all who knew him, and those who en- jJoyed his friendship greatly prized it. His death will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He died last Saturday at his summer residence near Providence, R. I. —— The Golden Cross. Trinity Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, held an interesting meeting last evening, Noble Commander E. J. Pat- tee presiding. Miss Marguerite McCutcheon, supreme warder of the outer gate, who has just returned from her summer tour through New England, gave an interesting account of her trip. She reports that Su- preme Medical Director J. D. Young has greatly improved in health and that the order is largely on the increase in the Massachusetts jurisdiction. Past Grand Commander Groot spoke of the importance af the coming ression of the Grand Com- ma..dery and the fall grend visitations, as far as they relate to an improvement of the ritualistic work of the order. Past Noble Commaader Custis also spoke briefly on the Same subject. The committee on the good of the order have in preparation a program of interesting exercises for the next meet- ing of the commandery, on September 25. E. L. Phillips, keeper of records, is absent in Missouri. Miss Susan A. Langley, vice joble commander, has returned from her sojourn at Delaware Water Gap, Mrs. Ida M. Harvey from her trip to Oxford, Md., and Miss Henrietta Harrison from Sara- toga. The officers and members of this commandery promise earnest and effective work during the fall and winter. At Columbia Commandery last evening Noble Commander Fayette M. Sinclair re- signed that office and E. Q. Gunson was elected and installed. The resignation of Geo. W. F. Strieby as financial keeper of records was accepted, and Wm. E. Cole was elected and installed in the position. The committee on the good of the order have commenced the publication of a com- mandery journal, called “The Columbia,” and each number will be read under the good of the order by the editor, who will be appoinyed at each meeting. Brief speeches were made under the good of the order by Jas. A. Dickinson, R. E. Harvey, E. Q. Gunson, E. D. Farnham, Mrs. Emma Strieby and others. At the next meeting, on September 25, the degrees will be con- ferred by separate teams for each degree— the first by ladies, the second by knights and the third by the regular officers, all of whom will specially prepare themselves for the work. Mr. Sinclair will remove shortly to Hampton, Va., and engage in business there. _— —_-— Died tn Texas. Word has been received by Mr. Bernard F.
