IDEAS FOR \. M. C. A/. WORK Billiard and Smoking Booms Not Approved by Mr. Pugh. 5 A Paper Read Before the Association of General Secretaries in Con- vention at Hartford. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HARTFORD, Conn., May 16, 1895. The Association of General Secretaries of the Young Men’s Christian Associations of North America has been holding its twenty-fifth annual conference in this city since last Monday. The sessions, which have proved of the utmost value and in- terest, come to a close this evening. Rev. Dwight L. Moody has invited the secre- taries to spend tomorrow with him at Northfield. The meetings have been held in the hand- some Young Men’s Christian Association building of this city. Last evening was given up by the secretaries to a timely discussion of important themes, and a number of capital suggestions were made as to .he better prosecution of the work. A paper on “Limitations and Opportuni- ties of the Association in Social and Enter- tainment Work,” by James E. Pugh, gen- eral secretary ef Washington, D.C., said the social work being in itself an equally important feature requires wisdom in its conduct the same as any other department. By social work is understood the bringing of young men in touch with each other for mutual good in a multitude of ways, and begins as the young man enters the buili- ing. Value of a Welcome. The effect of the first greeting and the Gospel in a handshake with contact of young men in the religious meetings, the gymnasium and the educational classes, forming the routine work of the associa- tion, were duly emphasized. The members’ monthly meeting, committee teas, banquets to the larger number of men interested in the special work of the gymnasium and educational departments, devicts by which the names of young men may be known without the necessity of asking questions, were noticed as leading to better acquaint- ance and social good fellowship. Lunch and cafe additions were advocated, but emphasis was laid upon the character of employes and the securing of those whose influence wherever brought in con- tact with young men must always be at least not actively injurious. Game rooms were advocated, with close supervision, and the things which enter- tain not to be allowed to interfere with those which build up and prepare for the activities of life. Preparatory to a dissertation on some of the so-called questionable methods gf amus- ing young men, Mr. Pugh said: “In thes days of liberality there is a trend away from the severe lines of our fathers. Men are looking at objects from different stand- points, and it*is possible for men to believe that they know more than those who bore the brunt of life’s battle in preceding gen- erations. There is need of being sure that the point of vision is clearer and more comprehensive, and there is a bare possi- bility that the conservatism of the past has not outlived its usefulness. Men differ in their ideas of many things—the Sunday question, the use of intoxicants, tobaccc, cards and other things which make up the social economics having a bearing upon young men.” The old Book settles very clearly the Sab- bath and lquor question, and there seems to be no reason for discussing them, and the associations are sure to be found on the Bible side of these two questions. Smoking and Billiards. The tobacco habit and the smoking room with the billiard table are questions not so clearly derined in all minds. The paper was not in favor of the smoking room, and sald that men who indulge in the habit as a class are quite as much in favor of the association building being kept free from it as those who do not use the weed. The paper also deprecated setting apart a room for workingmen for such purposes, and said that as a class the workingmen would not favor it, looking upon such action as a re- flection upon them. The smoking room in the association is likely to increase the number of smokers, and no one will admit that young men should find in the associa- tfon that which may prove an injury to them. The paper made a strong plea for keeping the standards high. The billiard room was characterized as an expensive method of reaching young men, saying that the necessary amount of money could be used to greater advantage in other methods and bring better results. Too often it is the feeder of the saloon. The influence of the surroundings of the game was, Mr. Pugh thought,decidedly dangerous. The pa- per placed the billiard table in the home of the rich man, who could afford the luxury, and thought it was time enough for young men to indulge in it when they could afford to do it in the right way. These questionable additions were never called for by men who are actively engaged in Christian work nor deemed by them as aids in winning young men to the standard of the church. There should be no place in an associa- tion building where it would be out of place to talk to a young man about his soul’s interest or where, when the work or pleas- ure had ceased, it would be outraging pro- prieties to invoke the Divine blessing. The Star course was next considered, and was discountenanced as a money making scheme, pronounced a failure, while con- sidered valuable as an entertainer. Refer- ence was made to literary societies, weekly lectures and story telling clubs, features that may be carried on without any con- siderable expenditure of money, and made to attract large numbers of young men. Entertainments with paid admissions were thought to be unwise. The association should be a place where young men could congregate without having to spend money. Peddling tickets was tabooed for the rea- son that men preferred to make a contribu- tion rather than have tickets for which they had no use continually placed before them. Tco much entertainment, Mr. Pugh thought, was likely to divert from the more serious work of the association, and if all werk and no play had a disastrous effect upon Jack, all play and no work was equal- ly dangerous. There should be as little conflict as possible between the pleasure and profit of the association. The social and entertainment feature should be used only as far as they make it possible to bring young men under better influences and of such character as to ‘attract them from the vicious and debasing that flaunt themselves before young men on every side. ns A Law Students’ Banquet. A congenial company assembled at the Ebbitt last evening to do justice to the annual banquet spread by the law class of "96, Columbian University. President F. D. Hyde was toastmaster, and pleasantly in- troduced those who responded. The ri sponses were as follows: “The professors, Mr. Baker; “Columbian Universit Mr. “The class of ’96," Mr. Wiley; Mr. F. L. Churchi jtoried ‘The south,” + “The ladies,” Mr. F. W. ‘The east,” Mr. Allen D. Albert, acs Sejbold; “The west,” Mr. H. Moor “Only a junior law,” Vice President Ar- thur Garner.

A pleasant enterteinment was given at the rocms of the Business Woman’s Club last evening, and the commodious quarters were taxed to their utmost capacity to ac- commodate the large audience that was present. The program was ccmposed en- tirely of musi:al numbers, the affair open- ing with a piano and violin duet by Miss Leavitt and Mr. Paris. Mr. Charles F. Roberts sang a couple of selections, Mrs. Shir-Cliff, accompanied by Prof. Bischoff, rendered ‘three numbers in excellent style, Mr. T. Williams Pearman sang and Mr, John Porter Lawrence gave a piano solo in his usual faultless manner. After the con- cert refreshments were served by the ladies of the club. —————— George R.

Probably they do not assimilate enough fat. Cod-liver Oil is the most easily assimilated of all fats, but in its natural state it upsets the stom- ach and deranges the digestion. In Scott's Emulsion of Cod- liver Oil with Hypophosphites this difficulty is overcome. Itis half-digested already and is very palatable. Children grow fat on it when all other food fails to nourish them. Don't be persuaded to accept a substitute! Scott & Bowne, N.Y, AllDruggists. 50c. and $te Improved Natural Stone FILTERS REDUCED.

At 10 o'clock the parade was formed at the circus grounds and set out along P street to 10th, to K, to 7th, to Pennsylvania avenue, to Washington circle, and thence back along K and O streets to the grounds. The display of animals was up to anything ever seen here before. The twenty-four elephants, the numerous ani- mal cages, the fine horses, the pomp and circumstance of the gilded wagons, the multi-colored riders, and the oriental mag- nificence of the chronological congress, rep- resenting all nations, made a pageant that mere than satisfied the most extravagant expectations. What They Saw. The crowds around the grounds from daylight on through the day had a feast of novelties to give them continual delight. They saw the elephants march up New Jersey avenue in the dim dawn. They saw the huge, billowy tent rise mountain-like and cover its multitude of attractions, They saw the dining tent rise like magic and the marvels of a circus breakfast emerge from the penetration of an ‘tiner- ant kitchen capable of cooking for 860 mouths at a single whack. They saw the twenty-four clowns in their every-day clothes, and the equestriennes clad in common mundane habiliments. They saw the camels humping their humps, and the Lig black bears bearing their share of the performance. They saw all they could see all day, and yet when this afternoon they paid their shot and experienced that de licious feeling that goes all over us when We pass the flapping portals of the great est show on earth, and go forward «vet the tented green sward to the gigantic un folding ecstasies of a three-ring perfo: mance, there was a realizing sense that not the half or the third had been seen 01 guessed at on the outside. All Promises Kept. Everything promised was done. The ethnological congress was a new and most successful feature. None of its people were with the show last year, except the Arabs. Over one hundred people are in this part of the circus. The silver dancers of Kandy, the capital of Ceylon, made a hit of their performance. Their dance is a religious one, performed when at home in Buddhist temples, and it is quaint and picturesque. The Hindoo juggler, Ishmael, Was a marvel in magic. The South Sea Islanders in their dancing showed a lively picture of life in Fiji and Samoa. Cingha- lese, with their richly ornamented cos- tumes and interesting ceremonials, attract- ed much attention. The dwarf tribe of Cottas from southern India, the first that ever left their native land, were a delight all the afternoon to little folks. They are about two feet and a half tall and well- formed. The various American Indiang shown were good specimens of their re- spective tribes. There were Sioux, Mo- javes, Navajoes, Apaches and Supais from the Grand Canyon. The Ring Performance. The ring performance, by William Showles, the Meers sisters, Josie Ashton, the Dillons, Dunbars and others, was ex- cellent, abounding in wonderful feats of skill and strength. The water carnival wag a new thing that was awaited with great interest and proved to be a good thing. Richard Golden’ made a grand dive from the dome of the tent—over forty feet—into a tank containing five feet of water. The attendance was simply a crush, showing that no matter how large a circus tent may be made it will always be filled. There were thousands of the Small Boy there, with his Little Sister, his Peanuts and his endless Scream of Delight. NATOR HILL. Reputed Aim of a Meeting of New : York Editors. New York Cor. of the Baltimore American. The hotel at which Senator Hill is at present a guest will be the scene of the first meeting, next Thursday, of the demo- cratic editors of the state. There is to be a reception at the Democratic Club the same afternoon, and the next day there will be a reception at the Manhattan Club and a banquet in the evening at Delmoni- co's. Senator Hill will be very much on hand. He is said to have prepared a ring- ing editorial of several columns, which will be read. The association !s composed principally of the editors of newspapers favorable to the candidacy of Senator Hill. But to give the convention a sort of representative a: pect Secretary Lamont, Postmaster Gen- eral Wilson and ex-Governor Howe have been invited to speak. The meeting of the editors is regarded here as a Hill move, from the fact that the Senator is to be the principal speaker, and has been asked to prepare the address pitch- ing into the republican legislature of this year. Its reputed object is to bring together the scattered remnants of the New York democracy, and to agree upon a policy to be pursued for the next year. But in teal- ity the convention will be the getting to- gether of Senator Hill's friends for the pur- pose of promoting his chances for the Gemo- cratic presidential nomination of 1896. His address upon the occasion of the assembling of the democratic editors will be a notice to the country that he has started on th hunt, and an intimation that he again haa the backing of the empire state.
