Arrangements have been practically com- pleted for the approaching great conven- tion of the Epworth League of the fourth general conference district of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church at Philadelphia. The convention will comprise more than one thousand delegates, who will represent the great majority of the young Christians in the Washington, Baltimore, Philadel- phia, central Pennsylvania, Erie, Pittsburg and West Virginia conferences of the M. E. Church, and will be in session May 23, 24, 25 and 26. Every indication points to a convention of surpassing interest. The Philadelphia committee has made arrangements to re- ceive the more than 1,000 delegates who are expected, and they, with an additional 1,500 visitors who will be looked for, will re- ceive a hospitable welcome. The convention will assemble in the most conspicuous and popular place the city af- fords. The scene of the reception on the evening preceding the beginning of the business sessions of the body will be the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Mayor Warwick of Philadelphia will be present and make an address, and efforts are being made to have Gov. Hastings of Pennsylvania, who is himself a Methodist, deliver the speech of welcome. The Fri- day and Saturday sessions will be held in what is known as the American Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets. Practical Program. It will be the aim of the board of control of the convention to make the meeting a distinctively practical and helpful one. Ac- cordingly, less room has been assigned to essays and addresses and more to discus- sions by workers of experience, and the department and district officers’ round ta- ble conferences will illustrate this design. The program for Friday will be: Prayer meeting, delegation conferences, in which a large number are expected to partici- pate briefly, and an address on the depart- ment of mercy and help by Rev. William Ingraham Haven, D. D., of Boston, to be followed by a business session. ‘The afternocn will be devoted to sight seeing. Carriages will be provided by the Philadelphia Epworth Leaguers for all the delegates and places of interest will be vis- ited. In the evening there will be a “praise service” and address by Rev. William Nast Brodbeck, D. D., Charlestown, Mass., the theme of which will be “My Duty as a Young Christian to the Church.” During the exercises there will be special musical features. Satarday’s Exercises. The exercises of Saturday morning will begin with a prayer meeting. This will be followed by a Bible reading by Rev. Dr. L. W. Munhall, the great evangelist, at the conclusion of which there will be a “love feast.” The session will close after short addresses on Junior League work by Rev. P. A. Rens of the Erie conference and Miss Margaret Hoffman of the Philadelphia con- ference. Saturday afternoon the convention will disperse into eight sections, and an hour will be spent in free discussion by those interested and experienced in each branch of work. Superiors to the speakers selected cannot, it is believed, be secured anywhere. They are Rev. I. L. Thomas, presiding elder, Alexandria district, Washington con- ference, whose theme will be “A New Chapter in Methodism;” Rev. C. E. Guthrie of the Baltimore conference, who will speak on spiritual work; Rev. Dr. B. F. Dimmick, Harrisburg, Pa., on mercy and help, while the literary features of the league will be referred to by Mr. C. R. Mair, , president Pittsburg Conference League; social, Mr. T. S. Leach, president Northwest District League, Philadelphia conference. The round table conferences of the District League officers will be con- ducted as follows: Presidents, by President C. M. Lacey Sites of the Washington Dis- trict League; secretaries, by Secretary Pickop of the committee of arrangements; treasurers, by Treasurer Jordan. The elec- tion of officers for the ensuing year and the reading of the treasurer’s report will conclude the proceedings of the session. At the evening session there will be a model Epworth League meeting, conducted by Mr. William L. Woodcock, ex-president of the fourth general conference, District League, during which there will be an ad- dress by Rev. S. A. Steel, D. D., of Nash- ville, Tenn., general secretary and editor of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Sunday morning there will be a sermon before the convention by Rey, Dr. J. W. Bashford, presldeAt of the Ohio Wesleyan University. In the afternoon bands of workers will go out and conduct evan- gelistic services in the mission halls and public places of the city. At night there will be league rallies at 7 o'clock in seven different centers. The grand final rally will be at the Academy of Music at 8 o'clock, when a sermon will be preached by Bishop Willard F. Mallalieu, LL. D. President Sites Enthusiastic. Speaking of the prospects of the conven- tion and aims of the committee, President Sites says: “The committee has laid out a program that will be like a Thanksgiving dinner. No one person can be expected to eat everything on the bill of fare on an oc- caston like that, and no one delegate can possibly attend ‘all the services that have been provided for. “Those who want to get out at an early hour and enjoy a sniff of the fresh morn- ing air will find ready for their attendance a prayer meeting at 6:30 a.m., and with a very slight respite for breakfast the meet- ings will continue until 10 p.m., and the expectation 1s that every delegate will choose that part of the work which is most profitable to himself. “The evangelistic services will undoubted- ly be a great feature, and Bishop Mallalicu, who 1s to preach the final sermon, is one of the most successful of evangelists, and will undoubtedly say something that will be very helpful to all who are present to hear him. “The work of the mercy and help depart- ment will be illustrated in a practical man- ner by the Epworth ‘settlement,’ as it is valled, a work among the slums of Boston, ich’ has been remarkably successful. ‘An address by Rev. Dr. Bashford on ‘The Outlook for the Twentieth Century’ during the convention will be followed by brief addresses, in which the various de- partments of league work will be repre- sented by leaders who will set forth the outlook for their departments. “*\ Glance Backward’ will form the theme of the address of Rev. Dr. Steel, gen- eral secretary of league work im the M. E. Church South, during which he will refer to the heroes of American Methodism. Dr. Steel has the reputation of being one of the most eloquent speakers in the whole church, and he has done wonders in build- ing up league work in the south.” ——~ A Grand Sale at Latimer, Morgan & Co.'s, 1229 and 1231 G st., Tomorro of Magnificent Floor Decorations. ollection of Persian and Arme- and rugs The exhibition of this wonderful collection has been largely attended, and doubtle: tomorrow, when the sale begins at 11 o'clock, the elegant of Latimer, Morgan & Co. will be crowded, for the collection is pronounced the finest ever seen in this city.—Advt. ee New Trains on Royal Blue Line.

Carroll Institute Hall was the scene of great interest last night to the host of am- ateur photographers in Washington. There were 700 or 800 people there, and with a stereopticon, under Mr. W. L. Soleau’s charge, the choicest work of the Capital Camera Club was shown. First was shown a miscellaneous collection of pictures by Messrs. Charles E. Fairman, A. J. Hough- ton, Allen C. Clough, Eugene L. Ferguson, William’ L. Soleau, George W. White and William P. Herbst. There were landscapes, figures, compositions and studies in light and shade. “‘Thanatopsis” was illustrated by fifty compositions by Messrs. H. Gray Dougias, Albert Le Breton, Wallace C. Bab- cock, C. Clifford Jones, Andrew Johnson, Charles E. Fairman, Eugene L. Ferguson, William L. Soleau and F. B. Dante. A series illustrating an Adamless Eden, shown by Andrew Johnson; a poem by Al- bert Le Breton, also illustrated by his own negatives, and a series by Howard Grey Douglas, Lewis M. McCormick, Allen C. Clough, William Dinwiddie and Clifford C. Jones, were much enjoyed. Among the pictures thus shown was one entitled “Tril- by,” which the committee hesitated about admitting because it showed a young wo- man entirely nude. It was pronounced a hit. In the award of prizes Howard Grey Dou- glas received the H. H. Brown first special prize, consisting of a silver medal and pho- tographic- material, for exposure, develop- ment, printing, mounting and artistic merit, A special prize, donated by a member of the Capital Camera Club, a print trimmer, for the best study of American character, was awarded to Albert Le Breton for his print of Mrs. Nicholson, the “Star Woman,” who has for many years sold papers every afternoon on the *corner of 15th and F streets. A silver medal, given by a member of the club, for the picture possessing the greatest general excellence, confined~ to memibers of the club, was awarded to An- drew Johnson. A special prize, given by Scoville, Adams & Co. of the Knack cam- era, for the best snap-shot exhibit, was awarded to Mrs. Crittenden. The first prize in genre, a silver medal, was awarded to Dexter Thurber; the second, a bronze medal, to Charles Dodge; first prize in portrait work, a silver medal, was awarded to Burgess Smith; second prize, a bronze medal, to A. J. Houghton; first prize in landscape, a silver medal, was awarded to Mr. George B. White; second, a bronze medal, to W. L. Soleau. The first prize in marines, a silver medal, was awarded to A. J. Le Breton; second, a bronze medal, to Charles L. Schaft. The first prize for in- teriors, a silver medal, was awarded to J. H. Harper; second, a bronze medal, to Charles R. Dodge by mistake, and the prize will be awarded to some one else, as Mr. Dodge had already received one prize. It is against the rules of the club for a contes- tant to get more than one. The exhibit of the-club opened at the Cos- mos Club today. Another prize will be awarded by the visitors to the exhibit, through coupo.s, in the club's catalogue. The judges last night were E. H. Miller, R. N. Brook and Charles Parker. An Exhibition at the Cosmos Club. The regular exhibition of the Capital Camera Club began today in the assembly room of the Cosmos Club, under the au- spices of the Cosmos Club. Several hun- dred photographs are on exhibition, and the hall has been thronged with enthusi- astic visitors all day. The collection of photographs includes views of every description, a number of foreign views being among them, all the work, however, of amateurs of the District of Columbia. ‘The prize photographs are prominently displayed, and a great deal of the work is of a character of excellence en- titling it to rank with the highest order of photography. The exhibition will continue daily from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. until next. Friday, and visitors will aiso be admitted Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 8 to 10. ——_— COLORED PEOPLE AT ATLANTA. Assurarces That Their Exhibits Will Be Large rnd Important. There was an enthusiastic meeting at 600 F street northwest last night of the women who are interested in making a success of the exhibit to be made by the colored peo- ple of the District at the approaching At- lanta exposition. Mrs. B. K. Bruce pre- sided, with Mrs. Lawson as secretary. It was determined to hold a May fete on the 31st of this month at Odd Fellows’ Hall, and that free transportation to and from Atlanta should be awarded to the woman selling the largest number of tickets for the entertainment. Mr. I, Garland Penn, the commissioner in chief of the negro exhibit at Atlanta, de- livered an address, telling what assistance was expected from the women in the way of securing creditable exhibits. He said the colored people of all sections were in- teresting themselves, and that he had no doubt Atlanta would show the immense progress in every direction made by the race in this country since its emancipation. The assemblage assured Mr. Penn that it would do its best, individually and collec- tively, to help the good work. —— A New Patriotic Organization. Articles incorporating the National So- ciety of the Children of ghe American Revs olution, under the auspices of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, have been filed, the officers being: President, Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, Concord, Mass.; vice presidents, Mrs. John W.

Alexander, Washington; secre- tary, Mrs. Mary Sawyer Foote, Washing- ton;' registrar, Mrs. Rosa Wright Smith, Washington; treasurer, Mrs. Violet Blair Janin, Washington; chaplain, Mrs. Teunis S. Hamlin, Washington. —— Bookbinders and Civil Service. Two hundred members of the Bookbind- ers’ Union met last night to reconsider the adverse action taken at the last meeting on the proposition of putting the government printing office under civil service rules, H. A. Ashton urged the affirmation of the proposition. Alfred Thomas opposed the civil service Idea because it would disrupt the binders’ union, which had been very strong for forty-two years. He said skill acquired In long years of work would not hold its own against schooling under civil service rules. .The question was disposed of by a strong Vote in favor of a resolution declaring op- Position to civil service in every sense, and further deploring the possibility that the union might ever be under the domination of the civil service commission. The wo- men binders, it is believed, will follow this example. —— An Enjoyable Musicale. A musicale was given at 1421 K street last evening for the benefit of a home for pet animals, which will be established here in a short time. Over one hundred and fifty persons, some of them quite well known in Washington society, were pres- ent and listened to an excellent program of eight numbers, the affair being both a musical and a financial success. Those who took part in the program were Mrs. Bit- tinger, Mrs. Bunn, Miss Bartlett, Mr. Krutzsch, Miss Peck and Mr. Reeside. a For the Road. In the case of L. B. Haws against the Washington ard Georgetown Railroad Company, Judge Bradley yesterday di- rected a verdict for the company. On the 4th of last March Mr. Haws received a transfer at 7th street, but, presenting it after the time had expired, he was re- fused a ride. He entered suit before a justice of the peace, claiming $99 damages, and the case came up before the Circuit Court on appeal. Mr. Haws claimed that he took the next car after receiving the transfer, but the railroad officiais claimed that he could not have done so, as there was no delay on the road. In directing a verdict for the company, Judge Bradley held that the company could, under its charter, restrict the time in which trans- fers are to be accepted.

Gurley Chapel was filled last night to hear Dr. Stanley of Tokio lecture on the Japo-Chinese war. The lecture was a clear explanation of the character of the two peoples, the antecedents which caused the war and the effect its*result would have on the nations of the world. The credit for the opening of Japan and ultimately China to the commerce of the world Dr. Stanley gives to Dr. S. Wells Williams, who con- ducted and shaped the Burlingame treaty. The immediate cause of the recent war was the killing of Japanese merchants in Corea, following which China, without notice, sent 1,000 or more troops there, contrary to the terms of the treaty of 1884, by which two weeks’ notice was to be given when- ever either nation sent troops on the Corean soil. Japan had been, he said, nine years preparing for war, which seemed sure to come, and thus it was that a little country of 40,000,000 people had whipped one of 400,000,000 with vastly greater re- sources. Not a single reverse had occurred to Japan in the struggle, and in the end her magnanimity had opened the twenty-seven ports of China to the commerce of the world by forever abolishing the octoroi taxes, the cumulative burden of which could be illustrated by the fact’ that a $100 watch could be'made to cost $2,000. before It passed the different tax gatherers. America, said Dr. Stanley, should gain the greatest advantage from the results of the war. Japan and China bothi love the United States, as was shown in their tak- ing three Americans, Minister Denby, Min- ister Dun and Mr. John W. Foster, to ar- bitrate and adjust their differences. Three of every five dollars of China’s foreign trade could be secured by the United States if this country would recognize, its oppor- tunity. And following all this, said the lecturer, the Christianization of Japan and China is to come rapidly, steadily and surely. ——__ THE COURTS.

SMITH & CO., dR TO SURGICAL’ DEPT., MODERN PHARMACY, NW. MER 11fH AND F my11-3m HE WAS MARRIED. And Yet Engaged Himself to a Widow and Borrowed Money. Mrs. Sarah Henry, a widow, who lives on the Broad Branch road in the county, has been consulting with the police for several months concerning her loss of $200 and at last the officers have learned from the woman’s statement the name of the man she charges with having obtained her money. James McKittrick is the name of the man against whom she complains, and a warrant for his arrest for alleged false pretenses was sworn out yesterday. Mrs. Henry is about fifty years old and McKit- trick is about the same age. He came here from Baltimore, so he said, and went to work on the Chevy Chase road as a motor- man. Widow Henry’s son was also employed there, and it was through him that McIKit- trick went to board at his mother’s house. According to the complaint now made Mc Kittrick pretended that he loved the widow, and in the due course of events he proposed and she accepted. Then they were to have been married and Widow Henry thought she would no longer have to jive alone, but would have some one on whom she could depend. Being employed only as a motorman Mc- Kittrick had been unable to save money, and the widow charges that she loaned him $200 because of the prospective marriage. But instead oi spending the money for this purpose the widow charges that he left here and took with him her $200. She made complaint to the police at the time, but there was no law under which the man could be prosecuted, and so the officers dropped the matter.
