Interesting Meeting in Regard to the Preliminary Arrangements Last Night—Committees, Appointed. , Although the inclement. weather detracted somewhat from the attendance last evening at a meeting of promifiént local Sunday school men to discuss the feasibility of kolding a local Sunday school convention dcring the coming fall, those who assem- bled at the new Calvary. Baptist, Sunday School kouse at 8th and H streets did not lack enthusiasm or energy. Each of them was a Sunday school superintendent, their names and churches being as follows: Pierson H. Bristow,’ Calvary Baptist; Luctus D. Alden, St. Paul's English Lu- theran; Dr. D. Percy Hickling,Trinity Prot- estant Episcopal; Andrew Wilson, Garfield Memorial; Dr. Charles R. Clark, Fifteenth Street Methodist Episcopal; Jerome F. John- son, First Congregational; J.. B.» Sieman, Protestant Orphan Asylum; A. M. McBath, Assembly Presbyterian; Henry M. Shook, Grace Reformed; Col. Westor Flint, New York Avenue Presbyterian, and James L. Ewin, Foundary Methodist Episcopal. The Object in View. Shortly after 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order with Mr. Pierson H. Bris- tow in the chair, and Mr. James L. Ewin acting secretary. In response to the chair- man’s request, Mr. J. B. Sleman made an appropriate opening prayer, after which the minutes of the meeting, held on July 2, were read by the secretary and approved by the meeting. Mr. Bristow then detailed for the benefit of those gentlemen who had not at- tended the former meeting the object in view. In effect he stated that the plan is to hold a convention, such as the different states hold, during which the Sunday school work in all its phases will be discussed. Such a convention, according to Mr. Bris- tow, would enthuse Sunday school workers for the duties of the coming year by getting the active people together and affording them an opportunity to compare notes. The chairman invited suggestions and opinions regarding the idea. Mr. A. M. McBath thought that the con- vention would be a great incentive to the Sabbath school work; but he was not quite certain that the first week in October would be the proper date for calling together the gathering. Mr. Andrew Wilson expressed himself as being strongly in favor of the idea, as he thought tha the Sunday schools of different denominations ought to be more closely related than at present. Col. Wes- ton Flint suggested that the meeting be a delegate convention, and he also was of the opinion that the date spoken of might be a little early. Scope of the Convention. As all present were in favor of holding the convention, the chairman called for views in regard to a special attraction, his idea being not only to come together and sten to a dozen set speeches. A moment later it was decided to have all the chil- dren rally for a great Sumday school choir. The idea of having competitive singing as . — was broached by Mr. Lucius D. jen. Miss Harlow and Messrs. Hammell, Her- bert, Lawrence and Pepper, well-known In Sunday school work throughout the United States, were named as among the persons possible to be secured to take an active part in the work of the convention. The general understanding among the gentle- men present was that the first day of the convention should be a popular meeting, with some well-known and popular speaker as the central attraction, and Chief Justice Fuller and tary Hoke Smith were spoken of as suitable individuals to be in- vited, and the names were taken under con- sideration. It was then put to a vote, and agreed upon, to hold the convention on October 8, ® and 10, the first session being on the evening of October 8, the others and the number thereof to be determined by the committee on program. At this point Mr. Alden, as retiring president of the Sunday School Union, arose on a question of privilege, and after stating that the union is in debt, asked that the committee as- sembled consider a proposition to assume and liquidate said indebtedness. On motion and after discussion the secretary was di- rected to call upon the several Sunday —— for their statistics, including those o Committees Appointed. The chairman announced that the general committee for the convention would consist of the executive committee of the Sunday School Union, made up as follows: Lucius D. Alden, field worker; Pierson H. Bristow, president; Jerome F. Johnson, first vice president; C.H. Carrington, second vice resident; James H. Ewin, secretary; D. ercy Hickling, M. D., treasurer; Col. Wes- ton Flint, Thomas B. Towner, A. M. Mc- Bath, George C. Samson, M.D., and J. B. Sleman, finance committee; Rev. F. A. Stier, Wm. Redin Woodward, F. M. Wilson, An- drew Wilson and Henry M. Shook. The other committees the presiding officer } atranged as given below: Finance—L. D. Alden chairman; F, A. Stier, C. N. Richards. Program—Dr. D. Percy Hickling, chair- man; Frank Hamilton, Wm. Redin Wood- ward, J. R. Bradley and C. W. Chappell. Invitations—Charles W. Needham, chair- man; A. M. McBath and Fulton Lewis. Place of meeting--James F.Johnson, chair- men; Andrew Wilson and Charles R. Clark, M.D. Music—C. H. Carrington, chairman; A. L. Keene and Dr. George C. Samson. Press—A. J. Halford, chairman; W. B. Bryan and Col. Flint. It was the general desire that the place of meeting for the opening night should be Convention Hall and the other sessions in the Calvary Baptist Sunday School House. After considerable discussion it was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the com- mittee on place of nv ing. After prayer the committee adjourned to meet agamM at the same piace on the even- ing of Monday, August 6, at 8 p.m. > A TIMELY WAKNING. A Small Fire in a Dangerous Bulld- ing. There was a sccne of considerable ex- citement yesterdey afternoon on the lower floor of that death trap known as the gov- ernment printing office. Workmen have lately been engaged in putting in position two new Potter presses in the press room there, and yesterday, while cleaning the new machinery line, a large bottle of the fluid wus spiit on the ‘floor. About 4 o'clock, while a number of persons were engeged in cleaning up the gasoline, some one stepped on a match and the usual result followed. There was a@ tremendous blaze and a wild scrambie for the outside. Some twenty or thirty grenades were smashed on the floor and the flames extinguished without any great ameunt of damage. The news of the fire did not spread to the upper floors, and a dangerous panic was therefore averted. apelin The Negro Democrats.

Last night a new aggregation of people, with varied and extraordinary accomplishments. was presented to a good house in connéc- tion with the living pictures, which remain as a standing attraction. Some of. the best banjo music known to the stage was given by Brooks and Denton. They managed ére- quently to lift the somewhat primitive. in- strument which they employ’ to" a “plane of genuine artistic merit, and there was at all times the rolicking swing, the subtle fascination of rhythm, which is found wffen. the banjo ts well handled.

Last night was cool, and the audience at the National was greatly expanded; whereas, on a hot night it is much con- tracted. So much for physics; now for the drama. Miss Sanders and Mr. Wheelock as Mr. and Mrs. Honeyton in Thesre Smith's comedietta, “A Happy Pair,” added another gem to their dramatic crown, and added a hatful of gems to the pleasure of the audi- ence. The comedietta was followed by “His Last Legs,” a two-act light comedy by W. Bayle Bernard. Mr. O'Callaghan, a shabby genteel Irishman 1s the hinge of the play; rand his efforts to impersonate a doctor, whose life is a complicated one, gets Mr. O'Callaghan into hot water enough to make a very lively farce. Mr. Bond was Mr. Felix O'Callaghan; Mr. Winter w: Dr. Banks, whom he impersonated; Mr. Mackay was Charles Rivers, who wanted to marry Julia Banks (Miss Stevens), daughter of the doctor; Miss Haslam was Mrs. Montague, aunt of Charles Rivers, and one time the sweetheart of the O'Callaghan; Mr. Findlay was Mr. Rivers, into whose house the O'Callaghan introduced himself; Miss Hen- dricks, a home talent, was Mrs. Banks, who had been separated from her husband for fifteen years; Miss Maude Sharpe, a promising home production, was Jane, a servant, and Mr. Sprecht was John, serv- ent to Mr. Rivers, and his first appearance almost won him a recall—it was so egre- giously funny. The play and the players were received with tremendous applause, and the situations were very amusing, but hardly a player in the cast played up to the standard the combination has set. They probably will tonfght, however, when they are more familiar with the lines and the business.

The same order of exercises will be carried out on that day and the tick- ets which have already been purchased will be good for this trip. Capt. Randall has inaugurated an every Saturday all-day excursion to Chapel Point. His elegant steamer Harry Randall will leave at 9 a.m., returning about 10 p.m. Chapel Point is a lovely place. Shady groves, salt-water bathing, fishing and crab- bing, excellent music and dancing will make the day one of pleasure. Capt. Randall has issued an additional combination ticket, (pee from Saturday until Monday, including otel and transportation, for $4, which is meeting with popular favor. Capt. Randall takes special pride in his Wednesday trips to his beautiful River View, hence they are largely attended. The elegant Pentz makes three fast trips, the one at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday continuing to Indian Head, stopping at River View both ways. Esput fine musi® and the count- less amusements will delight all. The Immaculate Conception Sunday School have announced that they will go to River View on Wednesday, August 1. Tickets dated July 23, will be accepted on this trip, and it is quite probable that a joyous day will be spent at this beautiful resort. On Monday, July 30, the Georgetown Cycle Club will give a big excursion to Marshall Hall in celebration of the second anniversary of its organization. It will be an event in cycling circles. All- the clubs of the District will be represented. ——-—> DISTRICT WOULD LOSE. Commissioners Point Out Defects in a Hoane Biil. In a letter to the House judiciary commit- tee regarding House bill 6952, relating to the disposition of moneys collected by Unit- ed States marshals, the Commissioners say: If this bill should become a law without modification, it would deprive the govern- ment of the District of Columbia of the benefit of nearly $20,000 a year, which it now receives from fines Imposed in the courts. As the evident purpose of the bill 1s to regulate thé compensation and duties of court officials, the Commissioners infer that there is no intention to deprive the District of this. revenue. They say that nearly all the receipts referred to a local ‘character, and in other municip are derived through local courts, The pose to remedy the d amending tion Mt of the bill by the following: “That nothing in thi: shall be con- strued to change existi to the collection and @ t of fines and penaities in the courts of the said District.” _— Marringe Licenses, Marriage licenses have been follow! ng: Coleman V Emil H. d Rosetta eyer of Baltimore, Md., weer of Munich, Germans .

The supper of the men remaining consisted last night of weak tea and a small ration of bread, and the question of breakfast this morning ap- peared to be the hardest problem the fol- ‘lowers’ of Frye, Kelley et al. had ever been: galled upon to solve. Judge Miller's action in sending the begging agents of the in- ‘dustrials to fle work house, and the de- .Sertion of the men after they got in the tolls “by the leaders themselves, and the politicians in Congress who were alleged to have promised to give legal assistance in ; buch emergencies, has caused the majority of the crowd to lose all faith in the prom- ises that are held out about the future, end the chances are that few of the men now in camp will remain for any length of time. Many of the campers at Rosslyn are succumbing to the effects of starvation and the inclement weather combined, and there are numerous cases of chills and fevers and rbeumatism, while illness of a more serious character is freely hinted at by people who have visited the place sufficiently: to be in- timate with its inhabitants. It was impos- stble last night for the men to get either dry or warm, as their miserable tenements afforded no protection from the rain, and the water put out the fires as often almost as they were lighted. Many of the indus- trials sought shelter in the car house of the Arlington electric railroad, others occupied resting places on the porches of houses in Rosslyn, while still more took the cold com- fort under the culvert of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Out near Highlands the men in camp are actually starving, and in spite of this condition nearly a hundred .other hungry fellows reached the place yes- terday. They are all that remain of Ran- dall’s contingent of the Chicago common- weal, that left the windy city a thousand strong. They had expelled Randall from leadership, and had selected no permanent commander in his place. ‘The Randallites are about the most {g- norant crowd that has as yet reached here, so far as a knowledge of the Coxey move- ment {is concerned. They didn’t know what they came for and didn’t know how they would subsist while in this vicinity or how long they would remain, They found noth- ing to eat awaiting them in the Coxey camp, and a good many of them left later in the evening for the outfit across the river. Gen. Coxey made a speech at Ridge- wood Park near Brooklyn on Sunday after- noon. Here is what “Gen.” Coxey said in Brooklyn among other things: “Tell all of the tramps whom you find sleeping in your parks to organize and march to Washington, where the cushions on the park benches are as soft as they are anywhere ele. Tell them te present their cases to Congress in person, and their wants will be taken care of: Send food to keep them for a few days and I will at- tend to their future wants, The govern- ment has established a» precedent in my own case which will apply ta) theirs. When they grow hungry I will march them up to the Capitol, where for stepping en the grass the penalty is twenty days in jail. Send 300,000 of these men to Washington. The ja{l there only holds/300:and it is full now. I will have the government convict the 300,000 and then employ them to build jails in which to confine them.” —_—_——_— Suit in Eqnity.
