At the meeting of the Literary Society of the Young Men’s Christian Association Saturday evening a live topic was taken for the debate, the subject being, “Resolved, That Trades Unions Are Injurious to the Working Clas The affirmative was taken by Messrs.

She Zid inclusive ng PYTHIAN ENTERTAINMENT Various Plans Discussed for Dispensing @ Generous Hospitality. Meeting of the Subcommittee on En- tertainment—A Banquet, Excursion and Other Entertainments, The Pythian subcommittee on entertain- ment was called to order on Saturday after- noon by Chairman Archibald Greenlees, The event of the meeting was the report of the subcommiitee on plan of entertain- ment which had been uppointed at the Previous meeting of the subcommittee on entertainment. Dr. Franklin T, Howe, chairman of this subcommittee, explained the troubles which had been encountered and overcome in procuring estitaates of the expense essential to the carrying out of the several schemes of entertainment. The subcommittee on plan, said Dr. Howe, bad under advisement three methoJs of en- tertaining the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and of showing the members of that body such courtesies as were due them from the citizens of Washington. Proper regard for economy had been observed, as it was desired to touch the pocket nerve of the citizens’ executive committee as lightly as possible. The first form of entertainment proposed was a banquet to be given the members of the Supreme Lodge at National Rifles’ arm- ory. On a basis of 300 guests, the cost for this fete would be but $465, which would in- clude music, flowers and the other incidents of embellishment. This sum did not con- template the serving of wines, but did in- elude claret and lemon punches. The basis of 300,on which the estimate had been made, contemplated that invitations would be extended only to members of the Supreme Lodge, but it was evident that there was a strong inclination among the citizen mem- bers of the entertainment committee to so extend the invitation as to include the staff of Gen. Carnahan, commander-in-chief of the Untform Rank, who is a member of the Supreme Drive and Other Hospital- ities, Another form of entertainment proposed was a carriage drive around the city, so that the city’s guests might hve the city’s beauties revealed to them under proper auspices. This plan of doing honor to the strangers would necessitate the employ- ment of seventy-five carriages, at a cost of $5 each. The drive would consume four hours and cover the main points of interest. A third plan of amusement was an ex- cursion down the Potomac to Mount Ver- non and Indian Head, with some ordnance exhibition at the latter place. A lunch would be served on the boat chartered for the trip. This was an expensive form of entertainment, both in the mattef of money and time. Mr. Ric! Goeodhart did not think that the members of the Supreme Lodge could well afford to give up so much of their time as would be required to enjoy all the hospitality which the citizens of Washington are anxious to lavish on their Pythian guests. ‘The Supreme Lodge would be under heavy expense while here, and as it had a vast deal of Pythian business to transact, and some weighty problems to dispose of, the lodge would probably be so pressed for time that toward the end of the convention night sesions would he “neccssary. For these reasons it was thought by the committee that it would be well to propose to the citizens’ executive committee that the visiting Pythians of the Supreme Lodge be entertained with a carriage ride in the afternoon and a banquet at night. Mr. Wight thought that this entertainment would demonstrate to the strangers how glad Washington was to thave them here, and would be all which the occasion would demand. The estimates, which will be sub- mitted to the citizens’ executive committee this afternoon, will be those necessary for the two forms of hespitality indicated. A White House Reception, Dr. Howe wanted to know if any of the members of the committee had thought of what a good thing it would be to have President Cleveland throw open the White House for one night and give a reception to the knights and their ladies. He sug- gested that such a reception would, no doubt, be highly appreciated, and he be- Meved that if the matter was brought to the attention of the President in the proper way he would readily consent to receive the visiting knights. Dr. Howe was author- ized by the committee to bring his plan be- fore the proper people and report at the next meeting of the committee. The Pythian subcommittee on the reeep- tion of the Supreme Lodge met on Satur- day afternoon, with Mr. Richard Goodhart in the chair. Committeemen McLeod, Doyle and Johnston were appointed to pre- Pare a program. Chairman Goodhart was appointed a committee of one, with power to appoint assistants, to provide for and superintend the issue of tickets. It was decided to submit to the citizens’ execu- tive committee, at Its sesstm to be held this afternoon, an estimate of 3500 to cover the expense of receiving the Supreme Lodge. ——._—_. Camp Meeting at Renning. ‘The camp meeting at Benning yesterday will never be forgotten. There were s00 people on the ground. The Sunday school opened at 9: and was addressed by Rev. Stewart, Rev. Diggs and Mr. Bomary. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached, taking for his subject “The Handwriting on the Wall.” At 3 p.m. Rev.

There were several praying bands from the city and the adjacent coun- ties, headed by their captains. Good Hope, Grace Chapel, Ridgleys and Mariboro’ were all represented. ——__—. Carroll Institute.

The Camp Across the River Receives Many Recruits. Notwithstanding the deplorable condition of affairs in the commissary departments of the Coxey camp near Highlands, and that of the industrials near Rosslyn, re- cruits are being added to the ranks of each every day, and across the river the arrival is expected momentarily of no less than 650 men, who have tramped across the coun- try from the west under the leadership of @ woman, who is the wife of “Gen. Jumbo” Cantwell, ‘who reached Rosslyn himself a couple of weeks ago at the head of a hun- gry contingent. The addition of such a large number of men to the ranks will cause the question of food to become more serious than ever, and when the other re- cruits whom “Gen.” Frye and “Gen.” Ga)vin have been enrolling in Virginio be- gin to arrive, the camp is expected to con- tain three or four thousand souls. The War Department has taken no action looking to the removal of the industrials from the reservation upon which their camp is es- tablished, and the increase in the ranks has inspired the leaders of the movement to become insolent to the extent of asserting that the only way the government can manage its property will be to evict them by force. Large crowds visited the en- campment yesterday. Rev. Alexander Kent conducted a prayer meeting in the after- noon and at night speeches were made by Frye, Kelly and others. Thirty men of Kel- ly’s comniand arrived during the day and Immediately set to work preparing per- manent quarters. Out at the Coxey camp everything was desolate and forlorn yesterday, and many of the men departed for the industrial out- fit at Rosslyn. Oklahoma Sam left the Cox- eyites Saturday to join Browne and the men remaining in camp believe their old leaders have permanently deserted them. Mrs. Randall, the wife of one of the lead- ers of the industrial army, made an appeal in the People’s Church- yesterday morning in behalf of thirty-four of her husband's followers, who had reached here penni- less, and the congregation as it passed out dropped small change in the hat she held near the door to an aggregate of $16. —_—— The Child-Caring Charitable Appro- priations. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The final plea of B. P. Mann for a mo- nopoly of child-caring charitable appro- priations by the board of children’s guard- jans, published in Saturday evening's Star, calls for correction, to prevent misappre- hension. The radical element in that board asked for about 350,000, to the exclusion of any appropriations at all to nine child-caring institutions of the District. The appro- priations of the board for the fiscal year Just closed and two months preceding was #24: its expenditures for the fourteen months were about $17,vv0, including some considerable unadjusted claims, which may, or may not, be allowed. The business of the board has decreased of late. During the last three months it has received only thirty wards by court commitment, It has now only about forty children boarding at Public expense, aside from those it has placed in the city institutions. The theory of the “placing-out system” is to put waits into private homes as rapidiy as possible. Under this theory the expenses of the board should not increase; and, inasmuch as of its present wards some thirty were taken under the board's charge, while put in the institutions before the board was or- ganized,the transactions of the “placing-out pian” should not increase, but diminish. ‘The field has been well gieaned, and the re- cent business of the board has been almost entirely confined to the children of colored mothers; and of those, in most cases, fam- ily ties have been loose, or shadowy. The board is a police court agency, with mem- bers appointed and removable by the crim- inal court judges. Naturally the class with which it has to deal is not large and is diminishing. Under these circumstances it is easy to see how the Senate committee on appro- priations arrived at the conclusion that the sum allowed for fourteen months in the past will be more than sutfticient for the current year, especially in view of the fact that the board is extremely well suppiled with office furniture and all matters of in- itial expenditure on a liberal scale. The long established local charities had reason to expect the restoration of their former very moderate appropriations, by Which they care for pubic dependents at from one-fifth to one-tenth the cost of ex- clusively official retormatories’ and asy- lums. In this they are, to a certain extent, disappointed; but the Senate committee has wisely allowed to them something like 85 or 9 per cent of their iormer appropria~ tions. This will not repair the cruel in- justice of the past, by which seven institu- tions received back altogether less than $300 out of $8,300 taken away from them by the 40 per cent cut, for the benefit of the trial In Washington of the guardian's ex- periment, which,claiming all the appropria-~ tions for the dependent children of the Dis- trict, has had to do with less than one- tenth of this number. The institution for which I particularly speak, St. Ann’s In- fant Asylum, was deprived of $2,600, and received back only $115, although it was always ready to receive children’s guard- jans’ wards without distinction of race or color. Four institutions, the German Or- phan Asylum, St. Rose’s Industrial School, St. Joseph’s Asylum and the Church Or- phanage of St. John’s Parish, received nothing whatever of “the rights and bene- fits’ for which they were “remitted” to the board of children’s guardians in ex- change for their 40 per cent deprivation. Several of the institutions concerned are seriously embarrassed by the unjust and partial operations of this board. They are, however, ready to accept with thanks the degree of justice that has been done to them, because it recognizes their modest, meritorious and cheap services and frees them from the complications and vexa- tions of an indirect, inequitable and im- practicable, as well as most extravagant method of administration. As to public supervision of the institutions and control of appropriations, that was amply provided for by the law of 1890, creating the super- intendency of charities. Such inspection and direction the institutions welcome for their own good, as well as the public's. JAS. R. O'BEIRNE. peer Lakelnnd Lodge. District Deputy Grand Chancellor A. L.

'MERTZ’S Clodern Pharmacy,m&F dylt YESTERDAWS SERMONS, — Echoes From a Number of the City Pelpita The disturbed situationn the labor world growing out of the>recent railroad strike supplied the theme of the discourses of a number of city pastors yesterday. Rev. Dr. Power, the pastor of the Garfield Memorial Christian; Church, preached a sermon on the practical force of the Golden Rule in reference to-everyday life and the dealings of one mam with another. Rev. E. B. Bailey of the Central Union Mission occupied the pulpit of the Western Presbyterian Church and spoke of the modern methods adopted of bringing the Sospel to the laboring classes. Rev. Adolos Allen, the co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, spoke of the problem of sin, which, he asserted is moral anarchy. The pastor of the E Street Baptist Church, Rev. J. J. Muir, preached a sermon last night on the way of Cain. He expressed the opinion that the recent disturbances would not have occurred had the meaning of the word brotheraood been recognized and observed. The pulpit of the New York Averue Church was occupied yesterday morning by Rev. W. H. Milburn, the chaplain of the United States Senate. Rev. Francis Horton, D.D., of Providence, R. 1. will breach next Sunday and during the four Sundays in August. Rev. Dr. Hamlin, the pastor of the Church of the Covenant, occupied the pulpit yes- terday prior to taking his annual vacation. During his absence the Rev. Mr. Freeman of Rockport, Ill, will preach. Rev. Dr. Langdon officiated at St. John’s Episcopal Church yesterday in the absence of the rector, Rev. Dr. Mackay Smith, The pastor-elect of the Metropolitan Pres- byterian Church, Rev. Dr. Luccock, has dispensed with a pulpit, and in preaching staads on the platform as is customary for public speakers. The pastor of the Mount Vernon M. E.

To the Biitor of The Evening Star: In reading volume 45 of the Century Mag- azine this evening, I accidentally came upon @ letter written by the late immortal hero, Gen. William Tacumseh Sherman, to his brother John, then, as now, a Senator from the great state of Ohio. A few extracts from this letter, which is dated “Camp on Big Black, eighteen miles from Vicksburg, August 8, 1863," appear to me to be very applicable to the crisis through which the nation has just passed, or is about to pass at Chicago and other great labor centers of the country. Gen. Sherman says: “You and I may differ in our premises, but will agree in our conclusions. A government resting mediately on the caprice of a peo- ple is too unstable to last. The will of the People is the ultimate appeal, but the Con- stitution, the laws of Congress and regula- tions of the executive departments, subject to the decisions of the Supreme Court, are the laws which all must obey, without stop- ping to inquire why. All must obey. Gov- ernment—that is, the executlve—having no discretion but to execute the law, must be to that extent despotic. If this be our government, it is the ‘aest on earth’—but if the people of localities can bias or twist the law or execution/of it to suit their loca) Prejudices,then our gavergment is the worst on earth, © ¢ ¢ © © © © Hundreds and thousands may honestly: differ as to what the law should be, but it is rarely the case but men of ordinary understanding can tell what the law is, We have for years been drifting toward an. unadulterated dema- gogism, and its signs were manifest in mob laws, &e., &c." If Governor Altgeld of Illinois had ever read these words from a blunt, patriotic, honest American soldier, and shaving read, heeded them, there would have been no oc- casion for President Cleveland to admin- ister to him that now historic rebuke of a few days ago.

After being held up at Pueblo, Col., the train was again stopped at Ogden, on Sunday, July 1, from which place he writes, under date of July 8: “One week ago tBday I arrived here, but not until this evening, when the troops came from Fort Douglass, have we had a rayeof hope of getting away. Now, however, some of the trains have pegun to move and we may get off tomor! Last night some of the bafiled strikers seemed to have planned the de- struction of a good part of this town by fire. They began their fiendish work in two places near the hotel, which soon be- came the scene of the wildest excitement and terrer. But by the effictent action of the fire department the hotel escaped and all is serene again. “It has been terribly hot here, but the nights are pleasant, and it is refreshing to see the patches of snow on the mountains at the foot of which this town lies. The situation of Ogden is most picturesque, and I wish I had the skill of an artist and could take away with me some of the scenic beau- ties of my surroundings. I am called ‘general’ here, and was selected as one of the committee to address the strikers the ether day, to let the women and children who are stranded here get away as a sim- ple act of humanity.

Policeman Poley was called in to arbftrate the matter, hut before he arrived the damage had bean done. The wife had one black eye, while both eyes of her husband were <lgcolored. William had been drinking, so the witnesses alleged, while his wife was perfectly sober. He thought she was drunk, however, and 80 accused her. They appeared in Judge Miller's court this morning, where the case was heard. Mrs. Black was more than willing to give evidence against her husband, her chief complaint being because her husband had said she was drunk. Judge Miller settled the family trouble by fining her husband $20 or thirty doys. Policeman Foley also had Peyton Holmes and his wife in court. Peyton is a one armed negro who recently returned from a lengthy visit to New York. He and his wife had a row yesterday, and her young- er brother used a stick on him, cutting his eye and face. Judge Miller let the wound go in as part of the punishment and made the penalty $10 or thirty days.
