OTHER SPEAKERS The Anti-saloon League held a mass meeting at Ryland Chapel yesterday after- noon. The meeting was the first which the league has held in South Washington. It was well attended and enthusiastically addressed by Rev. Mr. Hartsock, Repre- sentative Morse of Massachusetts, Mr. Jas. L, Ewing, president of the league, and Mr. M. C. Martin, superintendent of Ry- land Chapel Sunday school. The pulpit, which, as a usual thing, ts severely plain, was embellished with pot- ted palms, and at the left hand of the speakers floated the blue banner of the Loyal Women’s Legion. Although the day was wet and murky, and the air was often thick with the smoke of passing locomo- tives, yet every now and then a ray of warm and cheering sunlight glinted in through the stained glass memorial win- dows. President Ewing was in the chair, and fer the opening of the services announced hymn No. 917. Rev. Mr. Skellinger, pastor of the Sixth Presbyterff{in Church, delivered the prayer, in which he asked of God increased strength to carry on the war which they were now waging against the saloon. He prayed that the influence of the meeting might be conducive of great and lasting good. The familiar strains of hymn No. 248, “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name,” next rang through the church. At this point Representative Elijah E. Morse of Massachusetts was called to a seat on the platform. Favors Prohibition. Rev. Mr. Hartsock, pastor of the thurch, made the speech of welcome. He stated that he would not con.mit the error which a Christian brother once had done in con- suming forty-five minutes in welcoming his guests, and thus shutting them off from hearing anybody else. In defining his po- sition on the liquor question, he said that emphatfcally he was in favor of uncondi- tional prohibition. In addition to this he had always voted as he had prayed, and whenever election time rolled round in Maryland, he put a prohibition ballot. He referred handsomely to the record which the Anti-saloon League had made within the past few months, and said they were thrice welcome. He trusted that what had been accomplished in the past was but preparatory of what might be ac- complished in the future. He extended to them a warm Methodistic welcome, and hoped that the words soon to be spoken would be productive of renewed inspira- tion. Lengue Work. Edward M. Hall, leader of the Ryland choir, accompanied by Miss Anna Stahl, sang “Only b good effec! Mrs. Gillenwater, secretary of the Anti- Saloon League, read a statement of what had been accomplished by the league, and rapidly sketched its history. She sald that she intended to explain what the league was for, what it had done and what it to do.

Post of Duty. Representative Morse followed. He fe’t that it was bringing coals to Newes © to attempt to address the Anti- Saloon League on the matter of intemper- ance. The saloon was not an imaginary foe. It was a vigilant, active enemy. Every* year 60,000 men went down to drunkards’ graves; 500 suicides looked to 0) hundred murders reddened the <1 100,000 men were driven {nto houses and jails, because of the liquor fic. ‘Are you at the post of duty?” inquired the speaker. Then he told the story of the reply, which the late President Gar- field is said to have made to the surgeons when told by them that his wound was mortal. “I shall die at the post of duty. He also cited the case of John Quincy Adams, the old man eloquent, who Tepre- sented for sixteen years the same district which Mr, Morse now does,-who died here “at the post of duty.” He also told the tory of the dark day which overcast New ngland in 1780. The Connecticut assem- bly was in session. It became too dark to read, and one member arising, said: “Mr, President, it is clear that some mys- terious act of the providence of God is upon us, and I move ye that we do now adjourn.” A Quaker, by the name of Abra- ham Davenport arose and said that if they were face to face with the day of judg- ment there was no better place to be found than at the post of duty, and he moved that the candles be brought in and that the bill be read again. “Are you at the pr asked Mr. Morse once more. you are for total absti- nence. Fenrs for the Future. “This has been an age of centennial cele- brations,” he said. He had expressed on the floor of the House of Representatives the fear that we would never celebrate another centennial of the Constitution of the United States. He had the same fear within him now. He expected at any time to hear the lookout in the crow’s nest of the ship of state pipe out “breakers ahead, bard a-lee! The breakers, which even now might be heard afar, were the break- ers of cheap suffrage, and the grog shop. Property rights were more inviolable; crime wes speedier of punishment and taxation was lower in the city of St. Petersbur than in many of the cities of the Unite States. Meetings of this kind were en- couraging signs. He answered the argument that liquor license brought revenue to the state by saying that it was as rational as that method of taxation which would license coftins and then innoculate the ie bert ion with the smallpox. “It is a damning, withering, blasting curse. Beer and cider are the devil’s kindling wood. Wine is a mocker, It biteth like the serpent and stingeth lke the adder.” He would have the people shut their ears to the solicits tions of strong drink ae as Ulysses and his mariners put wax in ioe eee Drink was al n economio loss, were to ake a thip To ad Oo} L058 Hal alten 2 ani begin to dump it into the sea, petitions would pour into Congress against this ‘ton waste of food, while men, Women children “Fa writhing in the throes of starvat ph, +e thousands of shipl were rotted year by year and then strain through the stomachs of millions of peopl: ruining the strainers in the operation, ani then the people who organized to oppose oe eeecseeseose SOSO96 OS000006 8 CLEARANCE SALE or LADIES’ COATS At Wm.

He told the story of an orchestra which was stationed on the balcony of one of the hotels at Saratoga. It was playing music as soft as that which Pythagoras heard when he listened to the music of tlife spheres. Then there was a sound of pop- ping corks, and as the musicians drained their draughts of Rheinish down, and once more took up the fiddle and the bow, there was another sound of music all jangled out of tune. “Blot out the curse of drunken- ness, and you can do away with nine- tenths of your machinery of law and your policemen and you can shut up your workhouse and your almshouse. Go to work on the children. If you can prevent new drunkards, the oid drunkards will soon all be dead, and there will be no need of reform soctetie: Other Speakers, A collection was taken up while Miss AtLee sang acceptably “The Lord is My Salvation.” President Ewing made a pleasant talk, in which he made clear the reasons, alms and ambitions of the Anti- Saloon League. Outsiders who were the right kind of prohibitionists could become associated members by paying a fee of $l. Mr. M. C. Martin, superintendent of the Ryland Chapel Sunday school, was the next speaker, and he paid a rich tribute to the practical temperance work done by Sergeant Daley in enforcing the law. —_.__— Staughton Street vs. Stoughion Street. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Start : Some time ago, seeing a surveyor’s plat of one of the lots in the subdivisions in the south grounds of Columbian College, I was greatly surprised to find the name of one of the streets spelled Staughton street. The same name ts spelled Stoughton on seve} other papers referring to the same ground, and on the lamp post at the corner of 14th street the last spelling appears. ‘The people living on the street spell it some one way, some the other. Those who spell it Staughton say that that spelling is correct, While the others, thus far, at least, have made no defense of their or- thography. ‘This condition of things led me to Inquire into the matter in order to satisfy myself as to the correct spell First, I went to the District surveyor’s office and con- sulted she records. Mr. Forsyth kindly showed me the orig- inal plat of the subdivision of the south part of Columbian College land, made under the direction of the board of trustees, Mr. B. D,. Carpenter surveyed the land and the recorded plat is signed by Robert C, Fox, secretary of the board, also by John B. Forsyth and Joseph Allen, witnesses. The name of the street on that plat is spelled Staughton, and the District surveyor in- formed me that no other spelling was au- thorized by the records of office, From the fact that the second street is named Chapin, after Dr. Chapin, the sec- ond president of the college, and Bacon street, Binney street and Welling place, all of the same subdivision of the south college grounds, are named after the presti- dents of Columbian University, it is evident that the trustees named the first street, whose name is in question, after Di Staughtcn, the.first presidsnt of the oo! lege. Rey. William Staughton was born at Cov- entry, England, in 1770, and served as pre: dent of gr iene Gallege trom its begin- ning, from 1821 le was one of the most eloquent Baptist ministers of his time, published @ volume of poems, and served the college over which he presided with distinction, so that he well deserved have his name perpetuated in that of the fret street on the southern edge of col- lege hill. ‘At the suggestion of Dr. Toner, pres!- dent of the Columbian Historical Boctety, the early records of Columbian University were examined to find Dr. Staughton’s au- tograph for oe apitenty spelling of his own name, Fret ishgan the historian the Colum! tan Goll jumni Associa- ee showed me a numbef of such auto- gra hs, and there can be no doubt that he led 1 Ray yton, With this apelling all i 6 recor F Golumbian University fully agree, The Stay mien bestowed on meritoi rizes are gnnually Boughton The earltest spalt bave yet seen is bts iat see tee aR the real estate pede the city of Wash- ington, published by Faehtz and Pratt in 1874. This spelling may be reasonably at. tributed to an error in copying from t! city plats at the surveyor’s office. The city directories have spelled it variously Stroughton and Stoughton. Fisher's map of the city In 1891 spelled it Staughton, but in 1893 Stoughton, although both were pre- pared under the direction of Mr. Schvepf, who now informs me that the correct spel- ling is Staughton. Carpenter, the original surveyor, in 1881, spelled it Stoughton, and so have a number of others who have pre- pared maps of the city, but Hopkins, who has issued the very latest map not only of the city, but of the country surrounding the Distr! spells it Staugbton, The only excuse for the spelling Stough- ton appears to be in an unfortunate error in preparing the Faehtz plats, That chang- ed the pronunciation, and as these plate have been much used by real estate dealers throughout the city, the error has grown to large propcrtions, and the first presi- dent of Columbian College has almost lost the honorable recognition he deserves in having the name of the street spelled Staughton. There appears to be ng excuse for the wrong spelling in the way Dr. Staughton pronounced his own name. His wife long survived him, and some of her relatives, who knew her well, are still living on Staughton street. She always pronounced the name as if spelled Staw-ton. This pro- nuncilation is fully corroborated by Dr, J. Thomas’ Universal Pronouncing Dictionary, published in 1884 by Lippincott & Co. The volun.e contains a short biogr of the first president of Columbian Sottens. The proper spelling and pronunciation of the name Staughton street is a matter of special interest not only to Columbian Uni- versity and its many students past and present, but also to the Columbian Histogi- cal Society, and, in fact, to all persons who desire to perpetuate the memories of those whose lives have been so productive of common good as to deserve special reo- ord in the names of streets, parks, places cr other monuments, It ts of still greater interest to landowners upon the street, for the legal difficulties poasible in the future with such an unsettled spelling are of suf- clent importance to lead them all to earn- estly desire to have the proper spelling es- tablished. RESIDENT. ——. A POPULAR PREACHER, Great Throngs Listened Yesterday to Rev. T. De Witt Talmage. Two great audiences greeted Rev. T. De Witt Talmage of Brooklyn yesterday. He preached in the morning at the Eastern Presbyterian Church, and fn the evening at the First Presbyterian Church. On both cecasions the throngs were so great that he was obliged to address overflow meet- ings. The people who came to hear the great divine in the evening were so numer- cus that after the accommodations of the church were exhausted the waiting crowd extended out on the sidewalk up to the cecrner of 4 1-2 street. At the close of the service the well-known preacher came out on the steps and spoke to the crowd, which patiently awaited his appearance. In the morning Dr. Talmage spoke in the main auditorlum on the authenticity of the Scriptures, and in his second address to the overflow congregation in the Sunday school room he spoke of heaven, and expressed the hope that he would meet them all there. His evening discourse was on fu- ture reunion and recognition of friends in the world to come. His theme at the over- flow meeting was suggested by the sur- roundings, and he spoke of Christ preach- ing in the streets, ———— Lawyer Haigh | Broker Kellam, who have been arrested in New York for con- spiracy to defrau #.
