A joyous, happy party assembled at Cal- vary Baptist Sunday school house last evening on the occasion of the reunion and banquet of the “Cleveland Pilgrims,” or, in other words, the delegates from this city who were in attendance upon the interna- tional Christian Endeavor convention in Cleveland last July. Social greetings were exchanged in the library room of the Sunday. school and at ® o'clock the party was conducted below and all were seated about the long tables in the dining room. After the blessing had been Asked by Rev. Mr. Skellinger, pastor of the Sixth Presbyterian Church, ample justice was done to the bountiful repast. When all had been satisfied with material good things, Dr. W. C. Alex@nder, who pre- sided as toastmaster, made some brief in- troductory remarks, in which he laid down the rules which, he said, must govern those who were to speak. They must speak one hour (less fifty-tive minutes), Indulge in no personalities, make no puns and perpetrate no chestnuts. Toas' d Responses, Mr. P. 8. Foster was the first speaker upon the list, his topic being the “Conven- tion Caravan, Car Number2 and the Other Cars.” Mr. Foster's speech was replete with witty stories, and he kept his hearers in a constant roar of laughter. “Our Cleveland Host, Epiphany Reformed Episcopal Church,” received the attention of Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis. After re- lating a number of excellent stories, Mr. Ennis spoke eloquently of the hospitality and cordiality of the Cleveland friends. Mr. John D. Morgan sang a baritone solo. ‘By a unanimous vote a telegram of greet- ing was then ordered to be sent to the Cleveland entertainers. “The Trustees’ Choice,” Washington, '96, was the topic assigned to Mr. W. H. Pen- nell, who kept every one laughing by the comical descriptions he made and the funny stories he told. He concluded his remarks by saying that the trustees voted unant- mously not to tell how the vote stood In the contest for the convention of 96. A verse of “Washington, '06,” was then sung, under Mr. Foster's leadership. Mr. John B, Sleman, jr., was then intro- duced by the toastmaster. He responded to the toast, “Our Delegation, the Washing- ton White Caps,” and in the course of his remarks reminded the delegates of some of the amusing experiences through which certain individual delegates passed. ‘Mr, W. H. H. Smith then spoke in re- sponse to the toast, “Taking Care of the Tiger.” It will be remembered that the New York city delegation presented to the District Endeavorers a miniature tiger as @ mascot for the ‘6 convention. So Mr. Smith's talk had to do with the work of preparing for the great convention a year and a half hence. His remarks were en- thuslastically applauded. A vote of thanks was tendered to the Calvary Baptist Sunday school for the permission to use the rooms. Another vote of thanks was tendered the efficient com- mittee of arrangements, which consisted E. T. Fenwick, chairman; Rev. W. . der, Messrs. J. D. Morgan, P. 8. Foster and R. B. Burnham. During the evening the regrets of Mr. W. H. Lewis, @ member of the delegation, now residing in Seattle, were read in the form of a verse of poetry. ‘The banquet was brought to a close with the singing of the “Pilgrims’ Song,” com- posed for the occasion by Mr. John D. Morgan, and after this was sung the Miz- pah benediction was repeated and the com- pany slowly dispersed. Th Participating. ‘Among those present were the following: Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Conner, jr., Mr. and Mrs. William Tulloch, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. H. Smith, Rev. and Mrs. D. W. Bkel- linger, Mr. and Mrs. P. 8. Foster, Mr. and Mrs. M.

A NEW ASSOCIATION ee MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., November 20.— The recent massacres in Armenia have @roused deep sympathy for the people of that country, which has resulted in the organization of the Phil-Armenic Associa- tion of the Northwest. The object of the socjety is to aid by its influence the people of Armenia. A leader in the movement is Harrant Mesrob Ki- retchjlan, secretary of the Persian expo- sition commission, and also a member of the parliament of religions. The society starts with a number of members, among which are C. A. Pillsbury, Senator Wash- burn, Mayor Eustice and many of the most prominent citizens of the northwest. The following letter has been sent to President Cleveland: Your Excellency—It is not possible that your excellency should not be intensely aroused with horror and indignation at the inhuman outrages committed by bar- barous fiends in Armenia upon the life and honor of an innocent Christian people. Nor can your excellency have failed to be filled with admiration and, as a Chris- tlan, with pride for the heroic courage with which young Armenian women have stood face to face with ferocious ruffians in the midst of hideous carnage and have chosen a horrible death in preference to life and luxury in order not to deny Christianity. It is the criminal negligence of Europe to enforce the sixty-first article of the treaty of Berlin that, after bringing awful calami- ties upon our people, has culminated in these*last horrors that put to shame the blackest page of history. A glance at that sixty-first article is sufficient to show the vful responsibility of Europe. Your excellency will not need any prompt- ing to express to the signatory powers of the Berlin treaty, and especially to Great Britain, your deep horror at this foul and heinous crime aguinst the Armenian nation and all humanity, and to use all your in- fluence with said powers of Europe for the fulfillment of their violated pledges and the immediate establishment of a regime in the home of our languishing people whereby their life and honor and property may be secured against further outrage at the hands of bloodthirsty oppressors. By your exceliency’s energetic action in this protest and appeal in the case of hu- manity, the blessing of heaven will descend upon your excellency in the prayers and gratitude of a stricken nation, and a lust- g honor will redound to the name of United States, as well as to your excvl- Jency’s administration. ———— ‘The Board of Trade and Civil Service. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I have read attentively the remarks of ‘The Star, Commissioner Procter and the several communications on the above sub- Ject, and desire to make a few remarks on the subject. In the first place, I agree with The Star .that the “spoils system,” as practiced In District appointments. is a great evil, and an outrage upon our tax-paying citizens, as it is used by members and Senators to secure places for their impecunious con- stituents, without reference to their quali- fication for or knowledge of the duties to be performed, and to the exclusion of bona fide citizens of the District. Everybody knows that the Commission- ers are constantly beset by members and Senators to appoint men from their states, and as the District is wholly dependent upon Congress for iis legislation, even to the permission to use the taxes paid by its own citizens, the Commissioners sel- dom dare refuse to make the appointments demanded by these parties. This, we all agree, is wrong. As I understand it, it was mainly to remedy this evil that the resolution was adopted by the board of directors. But, as shown by Mr. Fardon, if these appoint- ments under the civil service law or rules are to be thrown open to the whole United States, it is clear that this evil or injustice instead of being remedied would only be increased; and that is why 1, with many other members, voted to lay the resolution on the table, and not for the reason given by Mr. Wilson, and since by Mr. Wake. The ideas advanced by Commissioner Procter do not, in my opinion, do away with this objection, for there are always more than enough non-residents who, hav- ing lost their positions in the departments, or failed to secure an appointment, fill all the positions under the District govern- ment, and who, having gone through the civil service examinations before, would pass every time and secure the position as against a citizen who had not had that ex- perience, even though the citizen might be better qualified for the place. I do not agree with those who oppose action on the ground that it is a “political question,” nor with The Star in its statement that “it would be extremely improper for the board of trade to indorse the candidacy of an applicant for office.” As I understand it, the sole object ef the existence of the board of a is to promote the prosperity of the District; and there certainly can be no more effective means of securing that result than by securing the appointment of the best and most efficient men for all positions, from Commissioners down to the it. Surely, if by its indorsement, the could secure the appointment -of good and effictent officials, as against bad or inefficient ones, it certainly ought to do ft. It should not, however, take any action for or against any candidate because of his political standing or affinities. Politics should be eliminated from all municipal government. It is the curse of American municipal government throughout the United States, and is the main source of all the frauds and corruption in municipal affairs, of which New York and now Chi- cago are terrible illustrations, I agree with the statement of “A Member of the Board, Saturday's Star, that “the citizens of Washington are’ over- whelmingly in favor of an honest govern- ment, based on business principles,” &c. His argument that such a government would be secured by the adoption of the civil service rules carries with it neces- sarily the inference that at present we have not.such @ government, for, if we have, why make the change? On the other hand, the Commissioners and all heads of bureaus or divisions of the District govern- ment, in their official reports, speak in the highest terms of the efficiency and integ- rity of the present force, and have for years past, as any one can see by reading their official reports. I shall not enter in- to a disc the other, but leave that for these parties and the public to settle among themselves. I have no hesitation, however, in saying that In my opinion our local government can be greatly improved in certain resp. not by the adoption of the civil serv rules, but by action of Congress. As that, however, is foreign to the subject under discussion, I will not at this time attempt to show how or wherein. I believe fully in home rule, and, as stated by a distinguish- ed public man, that it is the very founda- tion of our system of government, both national and local. If now, the advocates of the resolution will secure an act of Congress, which will confine the appoint- ments wholly and absolutely to bona fide citizens of the District, it would remove the main objection to the adoption of the resolution. I voted with others to lay it on the table, simply because, instead of con- fining the appointments to our own citi- zens, it only opened the door still wider to non-residents. There is also another amendment which, in my opinion, ought to be made, and that is that there should be a definite, fixed term for all appointments made’ under civil service rules, with the power in the head of the bureau or department to reap- point for a fixed term any one who, during is first term, manifests special qualifica- tion for and efficiency in the performance of the dutles of the position, means we would secure the By that tablishment of an exclusive class of lifelong officeholders, and its natural sequenve, of a civil service pension list, for which al- ready efforts are being made in many di- rections. Both these ideas are antagonistic our system of government. They are part and parcel of the monarchial system, tending to build up exclusive and aristo- cratic classes, which we do not want, and which, I trust, may never have—cer- tainly not with m¥ consent. The idea that men should be e¥amihed before appoint- ment in the departments did not, as many suppose, originate. with the civil service law. An act of Gongtess as early as 1854 Provided for it. Whef I entered the Kov- ernment service in 1861 I alone was eub- Jected to an oral'examination by a com- mittee appointed for the purpose, composed of the oldest and most experienced man in the bureau, with’ another from another bureau in the samfe department, who com- menced at 9 a.m. ang continued until 4 p.m., and I venture ta.assert that that ex- amination was far better adapted to ascer- tain my qualfficatfons for the duties «f the Position than those since made under the vice law. | { is nothing to prevent the Commis- from haying such examination made of every applicant if they choose, and if they were to adopt that p'an they could avoid the persistent importunities of offi- clals to appoint outsiders—at least, to a large extent. ° ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE BOARD. November 19, 1804. — -+—_ SOME SPECIAL FEATURES Setting Apart Days at the Pure Food Show, Prizes Offered for the Best Leaf of ®read—Miss Johnson’s Recipes for the Sick Room, The pure food exposition is booming. The boom is heard end felt in every booth in vast Convention Hall, and they have been erected in numbers such as now make it impossible to discover sufficient space to add another stand. The attendance last evering reached the high-water mark, and the crowd was a cultured one, which ap- preciated what it saw and ate, The management has arranged a series of special afternoons and evenings. ‘This evening will be physicians’ night, when a practitioners and nurses presenting their cards will be admitted free. Tomor- row has heen set aside for grocers and traveling salesmen. The orphans of the city are to be the guests at the show on Friday afternoon, and Friday night the exposition is to be surrendered to the Dis- trict of Columbia National Guard. The pupils of the public schools are to hold+ sway on Saturday afternoon. A novel attraction will be bread bak- ing contest, the decision to be announced Saturday evening. The contest is open to bakers, housekeepers and all others de- siring *to enter. Competitors must submit a loat of bread, together with the name of the maker, to the management not later than Saturday morning next. The first prize is to be a handsome silver berry or dessert dish and spoon in @ leather case. The dish will be on exhibition in Galt’s window in a few days. Twenty dollars in gold will reward the maker of what 1s ad- judged to be the second best loaf, while the third will receive five dollars in gold. All the bread thus contributed will be dis- tributed to the poor through the various charitable associations. The judges have not as yet been chosen, but Miss Johnson has consented to act as referee. ‘The display of the To-Kalon Wine Com- pany attracts more, than ordinary atten- tion, the side of the booth being con- structed of bottles containing the various brands of the company’s product, while Mr. K. J. McQuade, the gentleman in charge, has made himself solid with the visitors by distributing small sample bot- tles of wine. ‘The Imperiai Baking Powder Company is the reverse of miserly as regards the dis- tribution of cakes and biscuits, and the Mountain Buckwheat people are equally as generous. Mr. W. R. De Long, disguised as an ideal Quaker, was a center of at- traction last evening, “and the flower booth, witn a fresh stock and the proprietor, Mi Sears, attired in a poetic gown, appeared far from lonesome. The dispensation of small sample bottles of Old Crow whisky from one of the booths of James L. Bar- bour & Co., proved a drawing card. Prof. Jenkins will, this evening, reproduce the posirgs of Sandow with his phantoscope: Miss Helen Louise Johnson this after- noon discourses about dishes for a conval- escent. During the same she follows the recipes as given below: Broiled Stenk (Copyrighted). Select a juicy tenderloin and have it cut an inch thick. Grease the broiler with olive oll, and broil the steak over a clear fire with a piece of round steak at the same time. Turn at every tenth count and broil five minutes. Season the tenderloin with salt, a very little pepper. Squeeze the juice from the round steak, pour over the tenderloin and serve hot. Chicken Panada (Copyrighted). Chop one cup of cold cooked chicken very fine and pound to a paste. Add one-half of a cup of dried bread crumbs to one pint of chicken broth and let stand for half an hour, Add the chicken paste, put over the fire and heat. More broth should be added if necessary, as the panada should be,when done, like thick gruel. Season and serve. Chicken Custard (Copyrighted). Scald one cup of fresh cream, add to it one cup of chicken broth; mix well and heat. Beat the yolks of two eggs light, add the stock and cream gradually to the eggs, stirring all the while. Return to the farina boiler and cook until it slightly thickens. Cool and serve in cups. > -— 'THE CLAIM DISMISSED. The Supreme Court Finally Ends a Long Pending Suit. The Supreme Court yesterday dismissed the famous claim for over $5,000 against the government for the use of the Schill- inger patent pavement in the Capitol grounds. The claim has been pending for over ten years. The tile of the case was John J. Schillinger, Charles FE. Crecy, tn his own right as assignee, and as surviving partner of Charles M. Roberts, deceased, and as administrator de bonis non of Rob- erts, and administrator of the estate of Francis A. Roberts, agt. the United States, Mr. Justice Brewer read the opinion of the court, dismissing the claim and aflirm- ing the decision of the Court cf Claims, from which appeal had been taken. Justices Harlan apd Shiras dissented from this view of the matter. They held that the claim was one founded upon the Constitution and within the jurisdiction of the court, and that the government, pos- sessing and using the benefits of the inven- tion, was bound to compensate the inven- tor and patentee thereof. —_—_—_—_+ e+ ____ THE COURTS.

SOME IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS They Are Contained in Ex-Coroner Woodward’s Annual Report. SOME WORNOUT LAWS The annual report of the coroner for the year ending June 30, 1804, was submitted to the Commissioners today by ex-Coroner Woodward. In the report he speaks of many phases of local life. The entire number of cases investigated during the year was 530, of which 115 were still births, This is somewhat less than investigated last year, and the coroner thinks the falling off is due to a resump- tion of the law requiring many investiga- tions to be made by the health officas. Speaking of the matter, the report says: “When I assumed control of the office the regulation was seemingly a dead let- ter, many of the cases embraced under the section being reported directly to the coroner. On account of the amount of work so thrown upon him, it had become the practice to issue in some cases death certificates at the office without viewing the body. —Belleving that this method might afford means of covering crime, I have refused to issue a certificate in any case in which I had not seen the corpse, and have endeavored to have the proper cases treated by the health office. I would suggest that arrangements should be made to relieve the physicians to the poor of this work. They are already overburdened with their regular duties. Moreover, from my own experience I believe that some of the cases die without physicians be- cause of their inability to pay for medical attendance, and because these physicians refuse or neglect to attend them. That this refusal or neglect is without excuse I am not prepared to say, but I do believe that such cases should come to the a tention of some oflicer who could inves: gute all of them with reference to the neglect or refusal of these physicians to render medical aid, without tle ill feeling engendered by a formal complaint by the coroner.” Bodies of Infants. The number of infant bodies found is referred to as follows: “Of still births, quite a number of bodies have been picked up on the street, some were found in sewers, in the @ and ©. canal, in the James Creek canal, in the Potomac river and in Rock creek. The ease with which these bodies can be carried from place to place and dropped renders it almost im- possible to discover whence they came. ‘That many of these bodies are the product of criminal abortions there is no doubt, but there is no evidence to prove this to be s0.”” : Violent Deaths. Continuing, the report says: “Of the deaths due to violence which occurred in this District, 64 per cent were due to acci- dents, 8 per cent to homicides and 28 per cent. to suicides. There were no deaths due to railroad collisions during the year. Of the six cases recorded as due to steam railroads, two were those of railroad em- ployes killed while at work. While both of these were in some measure due to the negligence of the employe, one would prob- ably not have occurred had the railroad company had its switches properly block- ed. Of the remaining deaths, but one oc- curred within the city limits. This one was due to the grade crossing and the failure of the railroad company to supply engines with a proper headlight. The lat- ter condition has since been remedied, but the grade crossing still furnishes an in- viting field of labor for the reformer. It is to be noted that not one death is charged against the horse cars in this city, while the cable road has claimed three victims and the electric cars four. Comparisons between the dangers of these two latter motor powers cannot be drawn from these figures, as the deaths were due, with one exception, to the carelessness of the de- ceased, and as there are no figures as to the number of miles traveled daily by each kind of car. Any comparison which does not take into consideration this latter element must be misleading. In one case death resulted from the carelessness of the Washington ani Georgetown Railroaa Company in switching cars. This condt- tion has since been remedied. It serves, however, to indicate the desirability of avoiding switching cars on the streets wherever possible, if motor power other than horses is used. Some of the deaths might have been avoided had the cars been provided with proper fenders, but, in this respect, all the roads err alike This city has escaped any deaths from the electric current as applied to either street lighting or motor purposes. “Five bodies have been found drowned which have not been identified. All were colored males and bore no evidences of violence. On account of this fact, together with their color and apparent station in life, all of which were against homicide or suicide, these deaths have been regarded as accidental Cases of Suicide. “Of the suicides there were more white males than any other class. Next comes white females, and then follows colored males and females, each having an equal number. Sixteen were single, twenty-two married, one was a widow and one a widower. The rates of suicides per hun- dred thousand of population (estimated at 4,000) was thirteen —elghteen for the es (estimated at 200,000), and four for colored (estimated at 95,000). The aver- the age age of the suicides was 42.77 years, the youngest being eighteen years and the oldest seventy-six. A statement of the causes of suicides is almost a matter of guesswork, as it ‘s in most cases unknown, Homicides Reported, “Of the thirteen homicides but one was justifiable. This one was committed by a police officer in the discharge of his duty. It is worthy of notice that even including this one but two were due to gunshots, and none of the others were due to what are ordinarily regarded as dangerous wea- pons. The occurrence of homicidal drown- ing (as in one ease here recorded) is un- usual, In only one case has infanticide been positively proven, and in this case it was impossible to find the murderess, al- though the crime was done in the mother’s own bed room and while but two other peo- ple were present. Inquests Held. “Forty-three inquests were held during the year, and ten persons held for the grand Jury. In one case the charge was ignored by the grand jury, end in one a nolle prosequi was entered by the district at- forney. Two persons were convicted of murder, three of manslaughter and one was acquitted. The others are awaiting trial.” Dangers Reported. The report says that steps should be taken to provide the coroner's office with a suitable home instead of having it trans- ferred from place to place with each change of coroner, and then takes up the question of autopsies, of which fifty-four have been performed by order of the coroner at the public expense. Others have been done by physicians as a matter of courtesy. The report calls attention to an im- portant matter when it says: “I would call your attention to the absence of any facilities at the disposal of the District government for the prompt and accurate chemical analysis and microscopical ex- amination of the necessary substances and viscera in cases of suspected poisoning. I regard this as the weakest point in the coroner’s work in this District, and a weak- ness that almost invites homicide, and especially infanticide, by the most coward- ly of all methods, poisoning. The fact of such facilities belng within easy reach of the coroner would in itself exercise a de- terrent influence over such crimes. I most earnestly request that steps be taken at once to secure such facilities.” The report also contains a strong recom mendation that steps be taken to provide the city with a conveniently located mod- ern morgue. The total expense of the coroner's office for the past year is stated at $3,578.53, of FINANCIAL.

Some important legal recommendations are made in the report, as follows: “A bill is now before Congress authoriz- ing the Commissioners to appoint a dep- uty coroner. Since the discovery of the fact that the Commissioners had no such right it has been impossible for the .oroner to leave the city even for a day, and a very embarrassing condition would arise in cese he was sick or otherwise disabled. It is hoped that this bill will become a la‘ “The law with reference to the coroner's office itself was brought before the public once during the past year by the introduc- tion of a bill in Congress requiring the coroner to be an attorney-at-law, and ap- pointing a physician as medical examiner to do the medical work of the office. Upon this bill I made an adverse report to you, and am still opposed to the enactment of any such measure. The Massachusetts system abolished the office of coroner al- together, created the office of m« ex- aminer and provides for the holding of in- quests before any trial justice. It is, in my opinion, superior to the measure pro- sed, and a modification of it might be adopted here with advantage. Abolish the Office. “I would suggest that the office of coro- ner be abolished, and in its stead be cre- ated the office of medical examiner, whose duty it shall be to investigate from a medi- cal standpoint such cases as are now in- vestigated by the health officer and the coroner. Such deaths as are found by the medical examiner to be due to other than natural causes should be certified at once to the chief of police for investigation, and reported to the district attorney. Should the district attorney find as the result of the police investigation that the circum- stances required it, he should present the case to the grand jury at once, and they should return the indictment upon which the accused is tried. Much needless ex- pense and delay would thus be avoided. “The absurd requirement that the jury shall view the body of the deceased should be abolished. It serves no good purpose at the present date,being a relic of a time when the jury viewed the body where it Lad been fovnd dead, and when such view aid- ed them in determining the cause of death. The custom ts repulsive to public senti- ment and often necessitates holding an in- quest at some out-of-the-way place. It often renders it necessary to hold and com- plete an inquest before all the witnosses in the case can be found, or requires an adjournment from time to time that re- sults equally disastrously to ds of justice. It may necessitate an inquest at a time when it is important that it should not be known that suspicion has even been roused. This requirement is at the pres- ent day absolutely unnecessary, and I can- not too strongly urge that steps be taken to secure its immediate abolition. Coroner’s Jury. “In the plan outlined by me It is sug- gested that the coroner's jury be abolish- ed. I do not believe that this jury serves any good purpose.
