How One Building ts Clenned. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I read with interest the editorial in Wed- mesday’s Star referring to the manner in which public buildings were. cleaned (7) under the system generally in vogue, and beg te call your attention to the notable exception to the rule—the Post Office De- partment buildings tn this city. Under the administration of Postmaster General Bissell all appointments of laborers are made with the distinct understanding that they are appointed to clean and scour and are employed the same as house ser- vants. Lach laborer is assigned a given mumber of rooms, closets and corridors, and is heid strictly accountable for their con- dition. Fatlure to satisfactorily perform the work assigned is deemed sufficient cause for dismissai from the service. Under this arrangement laboress are likewise put on their metal, and vie with each other as to who shall have the neatest and cleanest fection. The work Is constantly supervised by an employe, selected by reason of his ability to hhandie men, and who has a knowledge of how this class of work should be done. It is frequently inspected by officials, even the Postmaster General not being loth to criti- cise should any apparent neglect or slight- ing of work come under his observation. Under this admirable system the Post Office Department building and its annexes Dave become models of cleanliness among the public buildings of this city, and tie €cmfort and health of the employes been Greatly enhanced thereby. ONE OF THE EMPLOYES. —_ A Barge Party of Sixty. The Epworth League of the Metropolitan M. E. Church gave a barge party up the river last evening, which was an aquatic event of more than passing interest. It Was probably the largest single rowing party ever held on the Potomac. The large barge of the Columbia Boat Club, the war canoe of the Analosian Boat Club and Cumberland’s barge were all crowded with leaguers, the total number ef persons in the three boats being sixty- one. The party rowed up the river to the Analostan beat landing, where a aoe time was spent in wandering among the lantern-lit paths of that delightful retreat, after which ice cream and cake were ferved in the pavilion and the party re- turned to the city. The Métropolitan Ep- Worth League has organized itself into an outing club for th: summer months, and this barge party was its third outing, the first being a launch party of thirty-nine to Great Falls and the second a basket pienic @t Fort Washington. Plans are being formed by the outing committee, to the chairman of which, Mr. Mayville W. Twitchell, the inauguration and much of the success of the outing club is due, for other trips, and, judging by the enthusiasm of the leaguers, it looks as if Metropolitan has solved the problem, “What can the do im social work during the sum- ——_—_—_ Excursion to Gettysburg.

VERY FEW ENGINEERING DIFFICULTIES The New System in Operation Probably Early in the Year. POWER AND CAR HOUSES Rapid transit is soon to be introduced upon another Washington street car line, and the change in motive power from the present system of slow-going horses will undoubtediy be appreciated by the residents of the northeastern section of the city, For a@ year or more the Columbia Railway Com- pany, whose road 1s generally spoken of as the New York avenue or the H street line, has been considering what power to adopt, and about June 15 last decided on the cable. The new state of affairs will mean that the chronic sleepy man may le abed five min- utes later than he does now and yet reach his place of business at the usual time; and the base ball crank may remain to witness nine full innings.of the game and also be enabled to get to his dining room at home before dinner grows cold and his wife's temper becomes heated. Washingtcn has witnessed with its own eyes the success of the cable system for street car propulsion, as evidenced by the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany’s lines on 7th street, Pennsylvania avenue and l4th street. The Columbia com- pany fully expects equally as great success with its venture as rewarded the larger road, and apparently no cause exists why such should not be the case. Ore of the trio of engineers who superin- tended the construction of the Washington and Geurgetown road—Mr. William B. Up- ton—has been given the supervision of the proposed work. The contract for the general street work has been closed with Mr. E. Saxton, who built the roadways for the 7th Street, avenue and 1ith street lines. It Is the intention and purpose of the Columbia company to make the road a model of its kind, and to secure that end the very best of everything will be used in the work of censtruction. The Temporary Tracks. Now is the time, it is asserted, of all others to build a cable road, for materials are cheaper thap they have been for years. It has been arranged to commence work October 1 next, or even earlier if it is pos- sible to get the necessary materials on the ground before that date. Traffic on the road will rot be interfered with during the change, for temporary tracks are tu be Jatd and the new rails will be used as fast as they are laid. All plans for ‘the roadbed are now on paper. The con- duit will be similar to that on the Washing- ton and Georgetown line, and very heavy rails are to be used. Mr. Upton is at presént engaged in ar- ranging for the required change ef loca- tion of gas, water and sewer pipes along the line. 'n order to do this it is neces- sary to examine the drawings at the offices of the District Commissioners and the gas company and determine on the method to be pursued in overcoming the obstruc- tions refcrred to. ‘This is considered a small matter, however, and will be dis- posed of within one week. Several hundred men will be engaged in the work, which, according to Mr. Upton, is rot expected to prove at all dlificult. ‘Where is not a direct turn along the entire route, the only variations from a straight ne being several curves, all of a large radius and of the same nature as the one at 1ith street and Pennsylvania avenue and that at the intersection of 7th and Water streets. Some trouble may ensue in effecting the crossing with the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company at Ist and H streets northeast, while an- other point not easy to pass will be the cable crossing at 7th street northwest. In addition to those mentioned it will be necessary to construct crossings at North Capitol street, 4th street, Sth street, vth street, 11th street and Mth street, where the line is intersected by other street rail- ways. The Columbia road will take the under cable at 7th street on the same principle that the avenue cars cross 7th Street. If all goes well the road will be ready to receive the cars before next Christmas. It is lMkely that considerable night work will be necessary, especially in setting the crossings with the other lines of fallroad. New Cars a» Power House. As is now the case the eastern terminus of the line will be at the intersection of H street, 15th street and Maryland avenue northeast, but the cars will not turn the corner and rest on 15th street, but are to stand between trips on H street. The tracks will be exténded a short distance on Resning road in order to connect with the car house. In regard to the cars it may be interesting to note that the rolling stock of the road, like everything else connected with it, will be brand néw. It has not as* yet been decided what color they will be painted. The speed of the cars will be nine miles an hour, the same as Is at present maintained on the other cable road. The new power house is to be constructed of brick and iron. It will face on the Ben- road, and eighty feet wide by two kindred feet deep will be its dimensions. It will contain an engine room, tension rccm, boller rvom, oll and coal room. Steel trusses and an iron roof will be one of the features of the construction. The front Part of the building will be spanned by an eighty-foot truss, and the back part with two trusses, one eighteen feet and the other thirty-two feet. This butlding, which is in- tended only for the machinery, will be one story in height, with’a basement, and when completed will resemble thé 7th street pow- er house to a certain extent. Offices of the Company. Plans are now being prepared for th power hous2, and its erection is to be com- menced early in September, the idea .being to get it under roof before cold weather, in order that the machinery may be placed in pesition at any time. No contracts have as yet been entered into in regard to the build- ing of the power house or car house. ‘ine machinery will all be of the most modern type. (aa from the power house by an alley, the car house will be erected. This will be 125 feet by 2u0 feet in diameter, two stories in nelght im front and one story in the rear. All the offices of the company are to be located in the car house. The present car barn will be utilized until the cempletion of the new structure. Although all details for the new road have been mapped ovt, there is an enormous amount of work yet to be accomplished, but energy will be the motto, and an at- tempt will be made to have the line in run- ning order by January 1 next. However, it will probably be a month later before the gong sounded by a gripman is heard for the first time along H street, Massachusetts avenue, K street and New York avenue from 15th street west to 15th street east. In the words of Engineer Upton, it is not claimed that the new cable road of the Co- lumLia Railway Company of Washington; D. C., will be the best of its kind on earth, tut it is most certain to be the very best that money can make it. — Pessonally Conducted Tour to Niag- ara Falls via B. and 0., $10.

The Services Held This Afternoon at the Residence and Church. Funeral services over the romains of Mr. Arthur L. Keene were held this afternoon at the late residence in Brightwood. The Odd Fellows conducted the services. The remains were then conveyed to Emory Chapel, where the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Ship- ley, officiated. The interment was at Rock Creek cemetery, Stansbury Lodge, No. 24, F. A. A. M., of which the deceased was a Past master, having charge of the service of committal. The pallbearers were as fol- lows: Dr. R. E. L. Wiltberger, Dr. Edward Kess, Wm. King, Alfred G. Osborn, Jas. H. Van Houton, ernon R. McChesney. The music was furnished by a quartet choir, composed of Miss Sadie Stokes, Miss Amy Law, Edward Leeds and Dr. Frank Myers, with Mrs, Frank Byram accompanist. ‘The respect and affection with which Mr. Keene was regarded by the community where he spent his life was indicated in some degree by the large gathering which assembled to pay this last tribute of respect to his memory. In addition to his other activities he was a member of Emory Chapel and held the positions of trustee, steward and treasurer of the board and was pos ae superintendent of the Sunday school. pee ee AMUSEMENTS, Butl Bijou Theater.—On Monday and Tuesday evenings Butler's Bijou Theater will be open on the occasion of the benetit performances in ail of the families of the firemen who met their death at the Knox fire.

One of the most vaivable characteristics of the great international Christian En- dzavor conventions is the inspiration which is brought back by the delegates in atten- dance. The influence of the gathering is thus made to reach to all parts of the world, and a thousand Cleveland conven- tions_have been held in miniature since the adjournment of that meeting. The stay-at-home Bndeavorers of Wash- ington were treated last evening to an “echo” meeting at Gunton Temple Church, and by means of short addresses, singing and other features they were given an idea of what the convention at Cleveland was like. The analogy was made more striking by the crowds which lined the aisles, filled the doorways and even: extended down the front steps into the street. The interior decorations of the church also aided the imagir ation, for the Cleveland colors, white and gold, the C. E. monogram and the stars and stripes were conspicuously placed around the wails and over the pulpit. The meeting opened at 8 o'clock with the sing- ing of several convention favorites. Mr. McArthur, who presided, then read the Scriptures, and Mr. L. A. Conner, jr., offer- ed an earnest prayer. Mr. W. H. H. Smith was introduced, and told, in a most interesting way, how the in- vitation to hold the convention of °9 in this city was presented to the trustees of the united society. He reminded his hear- ers that while it was a great privilege to be permitted to care for this convention, it was also a responsibility, and every En- deavorer in the District would have some part in the preparations. Mr. C. W. Litule, president of the Chris- tian Endeavor Society of the Gunton Temple Memorial Church, spoke a few words of welcome, and read a letter from the pastor of the church, Rev. G. B. Patcn, who expressed regret at his enforced ab- sence, and sent his echo of hearty weicome. Mr. John D. Morgan was then introduced as the autnor of “Washi "the ral- lying song of the District delegation. As he stepped forward to speak upon the topic “Anticipations’” he was greeted with the singing of his happy effort at composition. Mr. W. W. Tuckey, president of the so- ciety of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, next spoke upon “Healizations.” He gave & brief synopsis of som& of the most im- portant meetings and presented some_in- teresting statistics trom the report of Gen- eral Secretary Baer. “Missionary Extension’ was the topic as- signed to Mr. W. H. Pennell. He gave a most interesting history of the connection of Christian Endeavor with missionary projects, and told of the forward movement which was inaugurated in Cleveland as a result of the alliance formed between the Christian Endeavor trustees and the sec- retarics of the various missionary boards. Mr. John B. Sleman, jr., told how royally the District delegation was entertained by the Christian iSndeavor Society of the Epiphany Reformed Episcopal Church of Cleveland. Such open-hearted hospitality was seldom seen, and if there was lo be a delegation especially honored in '96 it should be that from this society. All the delegates present were invited to come forward at the close of the meeting to sign the resolutions of thanks to this society, which haa been adopted at a meet- ing ot ‘the delegation. “Tne next speaker was Mr. W. H. Lewis, who told in a most interesting manner of $ international conventions und other Christian Endeavor gatherings. He urged on his hearers that as many as possible stould go to the San Francisco convention t year. Mr. Lewis commented upon the ctical methods and results of Christian vory and suid that there was much of st consecrated hard work back of all the joy and enthusiasm of the great co venticns. ‘The Cleveland delegates present then sang in a charming manner the convention favo! fie, “Scatter Sunshine,” Miss Clara Young accompanying en the plano. rt talks on various sabjects were then listened to.
