The fourteenth anniversary of the or- ganization of Christian Endeavor was cele- brated yesterday by 37,000 societies, em- bracing a membership of 2,223,800 persons, throughout the land. The local societies of the organization, which has become fa- mous, were wide awake as to the occasion, and in special meetings appropriately cele- brated the event. A union mass meeting, which was very largely attended, was held in the afternoon at the Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church. Mr. L. A. Connor presided, and seated on the platform with him were Mr. W. H. Pennell, who was the first person to sign the original constitution of the society, and Rev. W. C. Alexander. After the usual devotional exercises Mr. Pennell delivered a talk on “Beginnings.” He declared that the organization did not really begin Sour- teen years ago, as the plan for it had been conceived by God years before that time. Mr. Pennell declared that one of the great- est goods the existence of the society had accomplished was the reconciling of the differences between church denominations by the very spirit of its life and by its example. The speaker related the circum- siapces surrounding the organization of the first society, and also the organization of societies in foreign lands. After the singing of a hymn, Rev. Dr. Alexander talked about “Retrospect and Prospect.” He reiterated the statement that the Christian Endeavor Society is a thing of divine origin and plans. He spoxe at length about the great aid the societies had beer to the pastors, and, in closing, told of the work of the organization in foreign mission fields. The afternoon mass meeting was brought to a close with prayer and the Mizpah benediction. Evening Mecting. President M. A. Carleton directed a meet- ing held last evening in the Vermont Avenue Church, those participating in the special exercises being Mr. Russell Barnes, Miss Maud Maxwell, Mr. Parker Trent, Miss Edna Little, Miss Eliza Fawcett, Miss Ella Chase, Mr. C. W. Shelton, Mr. Andrew Wilson, J. H. Galloway, Ottmer Saum, Asa Piper and Misses Mary Little, Mary Drown, Ella Hoge and Susanne Moore. Miss Catharine Jones of the woman’s ex- ecutive committee or the Presbyterian board of foreign missions delivered an address at the Fourth Presbyterian Church, and at the Eastern Presbyterian Chugch Rev. Dr. Wallace of New York city spoke of the valuable assistance en- deavorers can give in sustaining home and foreign missions. At the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church an interesting paper was read on “The Progress of Chris- tian Endeavor” by Robert Burnham, and one on “Confucius” by Miss Cole, while the Chinese wedding ceremonies were de- seribed by Mr. Marvin. A meeting of the executive committee of the local union will be held this evening in the E Street Baptist Church, AMUSEMENTS.

Fiebeger, in his report to the Commission- ers upon the matter, said that nothing can be done, as the bill has passed both houses. If the. petitioners desire and request, the street, he says, may be omitted in the im- provements for the coming year and be placed at the head of the schedule for 1897 for the improvement of 12th street from East Capitol to B street, the remainder of the street hardly warranting pavement.

Shouldn’t Blockade Lafayette Square. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I hope Senator Gray's resolution provid- ing for the purchase of the Blaine prop- erty on Lafayette square by the govern- ment may pass the Senate and be con- curred in by the House. I do not think our people favor the erection of a theater there, as is proposed by the gentlemen who have leased the property from Mrs. Blaine. Streets in front of theaters are generally blockaded of evenings during the theatrical season by motley crowds of bootblacks and peanut-gallery men and beys, and I am very sure our people would not like to have the beautiful streets on Lafayette square blockaded of evenings for nine or ten months of the year by such a crowd. This is the most beautiful square In our city, and its beauty should not be marred by these unpleasant surroundings. CITIZEN. ——.___ The Great Sale Opened.

Mr. Varnell, Mri Hunchbaum, manager of Armour & Co. and Mr. Powderboy, dealers, all stated positively today that their firms had joined in a scheme to erect @ building near some steam railroad in this city for the accommodation of their busi- ness. They want to make the vroject re- sult in a four or five-story plain brick structure, with ample stabling for horses and wagons, an artificial ice plant, and full resources in the way of cold storage. It is stated that overtures have been made for the old base ball grounds near the Bal- timore and Ohio depot, and also a square of ground in the southeastern part of the city, adjacent to the Pennsylvania tracks, is being talked about. The cost of the pro- posed storage house would be about $20,000 or $30,000. In another section of the beef market, chiefly among the retail dealers, the whole matter was spoken of in a skeptical man- ner, and some said it was an attempt to scare the Center market people, and bring about desired concessions in the way of rent and facilities. — The importations during 1894 of G.
