Officers Elected and a Liquor Resola- tion Adopted—Other Business Trans- acted — Reports Reccived. The annual meeting of the Society of Christian Endeavor, District Union, was held last evening at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. There was a large representation of ail the local socteties and a considerable amount of important bust- ness was transacted, including the elec- tion of officers, who will begin their service next September and consequently be in office during the great international con- vention of 1898. The election resulted in the choice of the following: President, Mr. Miles M. Shand, Calvary Baptist Society; first vice president, Samuel G. Wise, United Breth- ren Society; second vice president, Dr. C. W. Childs, Zion Baptist Society; third vice president, Miss Mary Folks, Gunton Tem- ple Presbyterian Society; recording secre- tary, Herman C. Metcalf, Gurley Memorial Presbyterian Seclety; corresponding secre- tary, Miss Lucy Jurney, Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Society; treasurer, Anson Staylor, Union Mz E. Society. Mr. John B. Sleman, first elected, de- clined office, owing to the fact that he is the chairman‘of the press committee of "96, and Mr. Herman C. Metcalf was elect- ed to the position of recording secretary. The vote for the various candidates was made unanimous. Liquor at the Capitol. One of the most interesting features of the evening's work was the adoption of a resolution to be presented to the conven. tion next year deprecating the maintenance of saloons within the walls of the Wapitol and urging Congress to abolish them. The resalution was brought up in the report of Mr. W. H. Pennell of the committee on good citizenship, and after considerable discussion favorable to it, it was adopted by a unanimous rising vote. ‘The proposed resolution is as follows: Whereas the existence of the saloon is contrary to the spirit of our Constitution, although by authority of Congress, and the fact that men in high official positions make use of them has an evil influence upon the youth of the land, and liquor drank in these places put members of Con- gree in a condition whereln they were @ disgrace to their country, to the people they represented, to themselves and the body they represented; therefore, be it Resolved, That this fourteenth interna- tional Christian Endeavor convention, with an attendance of 50,000 people, does hearti- ly condemn the action of the Congresses of the past in granting authority for the main- taining of these saloons, and that we do earnestly petition the Fifty-fourth Con- gress to abolish them, and that all voters and others be urged to bring to bear their ERTS upon the members that they may anaes to take such action as will Sey bit any further sale of intoxicating liquors in any part of the Capitol building or grounds. The meeting opened with a devotional sertice, which was followed by an address of welcome by Rev. Dr. Radcliffe, the pas- tor of the church. Reports Received. While the ballots in the annual election were being counted Secretary Sleman read a letter from Mr. Percy S. Foster, in New York, stating that at a meeting of Endeav- orers held there the sentiment was strong in favor of leaving the metropolis Tuesday, July 9, instead of the day after. A letter was also read from ex-President Connor, now at Pittsburg, full of kindly sentiments toward the union. W. H. H. Smith, from the committee of ‘96, stated that nearly $0,000 had been rais- ed of the wished-for @10;000 that was to go toward the next year’s convention. He said that a movement was already on foot to have the convention meet earlier than the time now set, but that had not yet been decided upon. Mr. Foster's report from the music com- mittee dealt mainly with the agitation to have the churches of the city fit out their choirs with professing Christians, instead of others, who were now paid to sing for them. Encouraging reports were read by Miles M. Shand, for the union lookout committee; Missg Lucy Jurney, for the union correspondence committee; Mr. John D. Morgan, for the union press commit- tee, and Rev. C. H. Butler, for the union missionary committee. = ee WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET. A Liberally Supplied Market—Un- changed Prices, The local wholesale produce market is fast assuming the proportions of the mid- summer market, and during the present week several products were quoted for the first time this season. Among these newly quoted products are watermelons, peaches, canteloupes and blackberries, and while ar- rivals in them are limited just now, the supply is steadily increasing. Advices state that both watermelons and peaches will be unusually plentiful this season. With rare exceptions have prices changed during the week, so tha: today they are practically what they were a week ago. Butter,.in the finest grades, shows a fall of half a cent, but the change 1s so immaterial that other grades are not affected. Eggs are as they were last week. Beef and other meats re- main high, and vegetables, while arriving in large quantities, give no hope of an ear- ly fall in quotations. The market is excel- lently well supplied, the demand is active and a firm and healthy tone is the result. ‘The general Cemand for butter is mod- erate, and appearances indicate that the market will retain its present position for some time yet. There are many buyers still anxious to store, even at a shade un- der 18, but anything selling under that has some defect. Refrigerators are not yet filled, and until they are no material change in prices is anticipated. The supply is lib- eral, however, and while the market is quiet, there is a firmness noticeable. Some difficulty in obtaining fine stock yet re- mains. A week ago 20 cents a pound was asked for fancy Elgin creamery and other western extras. Today 19 1-2 is asked. Choice, 18; firsts, 16; seconds, 15; fancy creamery orint, 23 to 25; dairy print, 16 to 18; and Maryland and Virginia print, 14 to 16; western dairy, best, 12 to 13, and good, 9 to 10; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 16 to 17, and good to prime, 11 to 13; ba- kers’ stock, 13 1-2. New cheese is still quoted at from 9 to 10 a pound. Old stock rot quoted. Begs are today selling at 12%, an advance of half a cent over the price quoted a week ago today. They are not in good condition, the warm weather being responsible there- fer, and no material change one way or the other is antic’pated. Poultry remains as last quoied. The de- mand is large, and for old fowls prices may advance because of the light supply. Live wint@r chickens are quoted at from 12 to 16 cents a pound, and spring chickens from 16 to 20. Old stock from 6 to 8. Ducks, 8 to 10, and g ‘The supply of vegetables and frults is Ib- eral, and an active demand prevents any decline in prices. The quotations are made: cents to $1.50 a box; kale, 20 to 85 cents a barrel; new peas, $1 per box; , T cents to $1 a box; aspar. to $1 a dozen; lettuce, #1. 21; new Irish potatoe: Florida tomatoes, $1.50 to $2 a cabbage, 50 cents to $1 a. barrel; £ $2.50 per 100 bunches; turnips, a barrel; apples, $2 to $3 a c california oran $3.50 to $4; Mes- o $1.2 box, and Valencia, $4 to $4.50 strawberries, 8 to 14 cents a quart; = hortleberries, 6 to 8; cherries, 4 to 6; rasp- . red, 11 to 16; black, 10 to 14; ‘black- . 15 to 20; watermelons, $20 to’ $30 per aches, $2 to $3 a box, and 75 cents to $1_a baske for beef and other meats show no unge, nor is one ant $4 a barrel; crate; beets atl and_sprirg lamb: 8, $20 to $10 each cents a pound 4 to 6; country Atlantic City and Cape May. + ing. » $2.50 to Ly: The best rowte to these popular resorts ts via Royal Blue Line, Philadelphia and Reading and South Jersey Roads. Superb trains. Double track line.—Advt. eS Steamer Macalester for Marshall Hall and Indian Head, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:30 p.m.—Advt. EXCURSIONS. The green lawns of Marshall Hall will af- ford a day of rest and pleasure tomorrow. Professor Schroeder’s band will give con- certs during the day and evening on the grounds, and there will be numerous other attractions. The steamer Macalester will leave at 11 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m., and the River Queen at 3 p.m. Tomorrow will be a rare June Sunday at beautiful River View, and Capt. Randall has made special efforts to entertain his patrons for the occasicn. Professor Arth’s orchestra will be heard in 4 choice pro- gram of delightful music, and the concert will be continuous on board of the Pentz and at River View. The Pentz will make three fast trips, leaving at 10:45 a.m., 2:45 ‘and 5:45 p.m. Cool breezes, enchanting country scenery, varied amusements and a sail on the river at evetide are the offer- ings of Capt. Randall to spend a delightful Sunday. Bay Ridge ts surely one of the most en- joyable watering resorts within a few hours’ ride from Washington, and the con- tinued popularity of this place is shown by the steadily increasing patronage since its opening a few weeks ago. The fine salt water bathing, fishing and crabbing will add to the attractiveness of Bay Ridge to- morrow, and trains will leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 9:35 a.m., 1:30 and 3:15 p.m. Capt. Randall's season of special attrac- tions at River View will commence Sunday, June 30, with the appearance of Minerv: claiming the title of the modern Samson. Her feats of strength seem incredible. Among her many wonderful acts is that of lifting eighteen musicians on a platform at one time while the band plays. Herr Blott will also appear on that date in his sensa- tional act of catching cannon balls fired from a huge fleldplece with the most pow- erful of compressed powder in use and load- ed in full view of the audience under the supervision of a committee selected from them. The first annual excursion of the Moody choir will be given to Bay Ridge on next Tuesday, and all those who accompany the choir will be treated to an excellent pro- gram of music, in which a large number of the members will take part. Besides this special feature, there will also be amuse- ments for all, including the salt water bath- ing sports, which are to be enjoyed here. Trains will leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 9:15 a.m.,-1:15 and 4:28 p.m ‘Hhe Bakers’ Beneficial Union gave their thirteenth annual picnic and excursion to Buena Vista today, and on every trip of the beat to this place a large crowd was carried down. Buena Vista ts a short dis- tance from the city, but there is plenty of shade and cool breezes found there, which make the day a comfortablesone. Among the list of attractions will be bowling for a handsome prize. The eighteenth anniversary of the Royal Arcanum will be celebrated by the mem- bers by giving an excursion to Bay Ridge on Monday. A large number of friends of this association will journey to Bay Ridge, and, as previous occasions of this character have always turned out to be affairs of enjoyment and comfort, the one given Monday may be looked for as a com- plete success in every way. Trains will leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot at 9:15 a.m. and 4:28 p.m. The excursion that ts to be given by Union Division, No. 8, K. of P., U. R., to Colonial Beach this evening and tomorrow morning promises to be an affair of rare pleasure. Those who go down on the boat this evening at 6 o'clock will have the pleasure of spending ail day Sunday at the beach. The City of Richmond will leave tomorrow morning for the beach at 9 o'clock; returning, leaves Colonial Beach at 6 o'clock, The Choral Society will give an excursion to Marshall Hall next Thursday evening. This is the largest and probably the most popular musical society in the District, and its excursions have been always largely attended and greatly enjoyed. The coming outing will be fully equal to any given by this society in former years, and the com- mittee in charge of arrangements will pre- sent a program of dances that cannot fail to be pleasing. The sail down the river on the steamer Macalester, the many enjoy- ments at Marshall Hall and the trip back in the moonlight, for the moon is scheduled to shine that evening, should induce the attendance of a crowd that shall only be limited by the capacity of the boat. There will be an Odd Fellows’ excursion to Bay Ridge next Wednesday, under the auspices of Grand Canton Washington, and it is expected that. members of the order and their friends will turn out in great numbers and enjoy the day at that pleasant resort. Those who are not able to take the early train at 9:15 a.m. can go down at 4:28 p.m., and still have several hours of enjoyment. An excursion will be given by the Boston House Employes’ Relief Association to Marshall Hall on Wednesday, June 26. Music will be furnished by Professor Schroeder’s Band, and there will be danc- Tickets are for sale at the superin- tendent’s desk, Boston House. The steamer Macalester will leave at 6:45 p.m. The palace steamer City of Richmond leaves for Colonial Beach at 6 o’clock this evening and at 9 a.m. tomorrow. The fish- ing and bathing at the beach are fine, and in addition to Professor Pistorio’s Orches- tra the Madrid Mandolin and Guitar Club will give concerts as a special attraction. These Colonial Beach trips on the Rich- mond are becoming popular, and it is a pleasant diversion after a hot week in the city. Benches are provided for basket par- ties. The steamer Harry Randall left this morning om the first Saturday excursion of the season for Chapel Point. Five hun- dred excursionists passed across the gang- plank to spend the day at this beautiful Charles county, resort. —_—_o—___ A New Ordinance Suggested. To the Editor of The Evening Star: As I rode through G street on the cars last Thursday evening, a bicycler ran in upon the car track, cutting close to the horses, but, in fact, doing no harm what- ever. The conductor of the car became very angry. He quickly reached under a seat of the car and drew from his dinner basket a glass bottle (in which had prob- ably been tea or coffee for his dinner.) He viciously hurled the bottle at. the cycler, but, fortunately. it missed the rider and was crushed into small pieces on the road- way. The pieces remained scattered over the street, threatening injury to the tires of bicycles and to the feet of barefooted children who might go that way. I felt that by neglecting to report to the rail- road company that conductor’s misconduct I failed to do my duty. ‘The city government of Chicopee, Mass., has just passed a law which would read well among the ordinances of our “city of magnificent distances.” It provides that— “No person shall put or place, or cause to be put or placed, in or upon any street, lane, alley, or other public place in the city, any ashes, glass, crockery, scrap iron, tacks, or any other articles which be liable to injure or damage the tires or wheels of bicycles, or any other vehicles which have wheels with rubber or pneumatic tires. Any person violating the provisions of the preceding section shall be lable to a fine of not less than two or more than twenty dollars for each of- fense.”” Cc. WwW. _———— Transfer Without Transit. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I notice that the manager of the electric and slow horse road (the only one of his kind ever born In captivity) says “the ne- cessities of the public demand that the operation of the road by some means of ‘apid transit shall be continued.” The fact is that “the necessities of the public’*have not been considered; and_no means of “rapid transit” yet exists. It takes me one hour to get over fifteen squares. Last Mon- day evening I waited eighteen minutes for a Sth reet car and eleven minutes for a New York avenue car. ‘‘Rapid transit,” indeed! What the “public” of our section “de- mand” is that this road be torn up by the roots to prevent the spread of the system.

Grand Opera House.—The Frederic Bond Comedy Company closessits season tonight, and the indications aretithat the final per- formance will be witnessed by a very large audience. In the eight weeks that this company has been here/ it has done some remarkably good work,zand it has given some performances that-were not up to the mark. Those of the latter class, however, were when the members»of the company were getting their owni bearings and be- coming used to one «anvther. Manager Shaw and Mr. Bond bath discovered that the company as at first-constituted was Not well balanced, and took prompt meas- ures to remedy its faults, ‘Mr. Abbe proved to be just the man that was wanted, and when Miss Blanche Waish was secured as leading lady the management felt that it had performed its duty to the public. The favor with which this. lady was received proved the wisdom of her engagement. Her acting was a surprise to her friends, as it displayed a versatility and resource that she had not before shown. The bringing out of the Shakespearean fantasy, “Ro- meo’s First Love,” presented Miss Walsh in still another guise, and her interpretation of the impulsive and love-burdened young Montague has won unstinted praise. Miss Walsh’s career in the five years she has been upon the stage has been one of constant progression, and she has attained a position that is quite remarkable and one which fs frequently acquired only after many years of arduous service. She has not reached her present standing without hard work, but werk in her profession is her pleasure and desire. She is young, beautiful, talented and ambitious, and a brilliant future is predicted for her. It is said that she aims to one day play Romeo, in Shakespeare’s tragedy, and there seems to be no bar to her doing that, She could play Chatterton, in the play of that name, that Julia Marlowe plays much bet- ter than it has yet been seen, and the au- thor who will fashion for her a play of a similar character will win for himself, as well as for her, both fame and fortune. If Miss Walsh concludes to go with Mr. Bend next season she will be just the leading lady he wants. Mr. Bond is a prime favorite in Washing- ton, and will undoubtedly make his worth and personality felt in every city he will visit when he goes out at the head of his own company. He is taking a new depart- ure in the character of pieces he will pre- sent, but it is one that will be welcomed, it is thought, throughout the whole coun- try. He is a young man to attempt a starring venture, but he has all the quali- ties requisite to success and has a sterling reputation, gained by faithful work in the best combinations. His many friends wish him, as -well as his energetic managers, success. The bill tonight will be Love” and “Pink Dominos. New National Theater.—The comedy com- pany at the New National Theater will go right on, and next week Dion Bouci- cault’s amusing comedy, “Forbidden Fruit,” will be. the attraction. In this the entire strength of the company will be seen. The charming comedietta, “On an Island,” with Miss Mary Sanders and Joseph Wheelock, jr., will be given as a curtain raiser. The Chinese Fireworks.—The Chinese fire- works did not count on the rain last even- ing, and for that reason the exhibition was not what some people expected it would be. ‘Those who have tickets, however, will %e admitted this evening, when an exhibition is promised that will more than make up for the disappointment last night. A few pieces were set off last evening, but the dampness affected their showing. The set pieces all illustrate a story and they will be repeated tonight. Manager Tuck Cheong has been hard at work getting the mate- rials for the great show of this interesting importation and is ready to give one of the most complete exhibitions of real Chinese fireworks ever witnessed in this country. ~ Closing Sparring Exhibitton.—The spar- ring exhibitions at Kernan’s will close to- night. Johnny Ball of Newark, who was to have met Joe Burnett of this city last night, refused to go on. with the latter on the ground that he was 2 professional. He Was willing, however, to yo on with Tony Banks and got the decision over him, al- though the majority of the audience thought the bout should have heen declared a draw. Burnett made a public oifer to meet Ball at his own terfhs at any time. Robert Downing’s New Play.—Mr. Robert Downing will produce a-play from the pen cf Victorien Sardou, entitled “Helena,” in this city, September 2, 4895. This play he considers the best he has ever read, and it will be his purpose to give it a production far surpassing anything he has ever here- tofore done. He says he will not leave a stone unturned to make this the grandest event of his professional life. This is not an untried play, as it met with~unqualified success on its first presentation in Paris. The gentleman who made the translation for him was in Paris at the time it was produced, and will be with Mr. Downini during his rehearsals, so that each ani every set of scenery will be as near as possible to the original production of the play, as well as the stage business for the actors. All the scenery will be reproduced from photographs of the place in which the tragedy was enacted—Holy Sienna. The costumes will all be made expressly for this production from plates brought over from Paris. The music will be original and in keeping with the time of the drama, and the company will be composed of the best artists in the legitimate school. Drum Corps Fete Continued.—Owing to the rain, the lawn fete of the J. B. Hea- derson Drum. Corps, which was to have closed last night at the 14th street park, will be continued tonight. All the atttrac- tions which had been provided for iast evening will be repeated and the same organizations will visit the park. —_.___. Anti-Saloon League.
