The Work Done by the W. C. T, U. in Distributing Clean Reading Mutter. ‘The preparation and distribution of tem- Perance literature is an important branch of the work done by the Woman's Chris- tian Temperance Union. This special work is in charge of Mrs. Margaret B. Platt, who fs the District superintendent of temper- ance literature. “The idea of my department,” said Mrs. Platt, recently, “is to place good reading matter in barber shops and engine houses, where is usually found the Police Gazette and similar publications.” “Why in the barber shops? ‘There the boys and men sit and await turn to receive the e of the her, and while waiting read to pass the time. We have su éd in several shops in Wash the best magazines and period books and papers are intended to turn the general mind from bad to good readin and to cultivate a taste for the nigher cl of reading matter. The same thing applies to the purpose of distributing literature in the engine houses. 2 addition to this we distribute and send out by mail scientific Uterature against license iaws. This mat- ter is explanatory and shows the bad effect of alcoholic drinks on the nervous system, as well as how the poison eats up and destroys the Vrain. We also place our own iterature’in Sunday schools where the In- ternational Lesson s used, and send our paper, the Union to some of the pastors of churches. “The Union Signal is our national organ, and it is essential for every woman who holds an office in the Woman's Christian Temperance Unien to be a subscriber to this paper : We are accomplishing much good in this department, and aré only hampered by a lack of sullicient reading matter.

For the proper handling of their largely increased business, the Yale steam laundry have had manufactured for them four handsome model delivery wagons. They are of the drop-front pattern, with plat- form springs, high round hood tops, all paneled hard wood, made water tight and finished with four beveled plate window They are longer and wider than the aver- age delivery wagon, being eight feet long, and three feet eight inches wide, having a capacity of eight four-bushel clothes bask ets, while the old style had a capacity of but They have paneled double doo at the back, with improved spring faster prevent the doors from ever open.

This gives the “Yale” seven delivery wagons. — Dr. Radcliffe’s Vacation. Rev.

LOUIS The National Rifles’ Drill Team Enthusias- tically We'comed. Wth Red Fire and Rockets—Scene on Pennsylvania Avenue—The Mt. Pleasant Field Band. The drill team of the National Rifles and the Mount Pleasant Field Band returned to the city last night from St. Louis by dif- ferent roads, but, owing to some hitch in the arrangements, they were not- received together, and all the red fire and rockets had been burred in honor of the Rifles when the little chaps with the drums and fifes and bugles reached the avenue. There was a great crowd of people on the streets. especially near the 6th street station,where the Rifles were expected. The drill team bad reached Alexandria at 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, but, having been warned that the town was to be illuminated in their honor, they magnanimously concluded te postpone the pleasure of home coming for a few hours in order that the pyrotech- nics should not be wasted. So for four hours they lay over in Alexandria and waited patiently for the darkness to arrive They were met at Alexandria by Mr. Geo. M. Bond, the city passenger agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, who took them in charge and acted as their escort to this city. Lieut. Evans was informed of the death of Mrs. Boyd, his mother-in-law, and came up to the city without further delay. The Scene on the Avenue. At 8:20 the avenue was well filled. Pri- vate McNichol of the Rifles had been very industrious in scattering packages of red fire and mines of colored bombs along the broad thoroughfare, and when the first rocket went shooting out from 6th street as a signal that the soldiers had arrived there was a general blazing all along the street. At the station had gathered half a dozen military companies, to act as an es- cort to the returning heroes, and in the waiting room and on the platform were very many ladies wearing colored ribbons to signify their allegiance to the Rifles. There were no ceremonies at the depot, for the drillers were tired, and were eager to get to the armory. The parade was quick- ly formed on the avenue, in the’ following order: The Victor Drum Corps, the Cor- coran Cadets, the Morton Cadets, the Hen- derson Drum Corps, the National Fen- cibles, the Old Guard, the Marine Band, the stay-at-home members of the Rifles, the drill team of the Rifles, Knixhts of Pythi Ordway Rifles, St. John Drum Corps. The Victor Drum Corps headed the line at the request of Capt. Oyster. At 12th street the St. John Drum Corps was ordered to a place in line immediately in front of the drill team, in order that the returning heroes of the occasion might be more prominently heralded. As the pro- cession moved up the avenue the red fire and the Roman candles increased their blazes until the street was literally a mass of flame. Packets of powder had been placed on the pavement in the line of march, and ignited just before the head of the escort arrived,-so that the line went along in a sea of flame, when seen from. above. The drummer lads of the Victor Corps marched stoutly through the blazes, which threw a gory glare over the entire scene. The people lined the sides of the streets, and were forced back to form a pathway for the passage of the escort with the greatest difficulty.

At the Armory. ‘The stay-at-home members of the Ritle: carried torches that burned red when light- ed, but they were extinguished shortly after the procession started, and were not re- lighted until the armory was reached. There another burst of red fire and Roman les greeted the team, and the home- staying members started their torches go- and the space in front of the building ling mass of flame and colored escort was marched up to the where lines were formed, and after a few preliminaries Capt. Oyster took the platform and made a bnief speech of thanks to the men for their soldierly conduct at the drill, and for théir good work in bringing back with them greater honors than he had hoped for them. He introduced Lieut. Manson, who commanded the drill team on the trip to and from St. Leuts, and who was at the'r head during the competition. He confessed that the oc- on was too much for him, and he was able to give what he termed a feeble expression of his thanks for the cordial support of the people of the city. He said thai all the men who had made the trip had returned very well satisfied with their ex- ent, and had enjoyed the occasion very much indeed. They had no com- s to make on any score. ymaster Genera! Stanton of the army, who was one of the charter members of the congratulated the team upon the red that in his on the Rifles cou!. not well fail in any rprise in which they took part with energy and determination. ‘After that there were no more speeches, except a brief one from t. Oyster, who gave the order to break ranks and be happy, and this command was obeyed with eagerness by the soldier folks, who were surrounded !n a moment by their fair friends. The Marine Band played several selections, and there were refreshments served in the drill room below. The Mt. Pleasant Drum Corps. Nothing was lacking to make the occa- sion perfect, except, perhaps, the presence of the boys of the Mount Pleasant Field Band, for whom places had been reserved, but who had somehow been lost In the shuffle. They had shared the honors of the apment with the Rifles, and had tuken trophies of their excellence. They arrived at the B. and O. station almost at the same time that the Rifles reached the 6th street depot, but they had been forgot- ten in the rush of the other affair, and there was no escort to mect them beyond a committee, consisting of Messrs. A. N. Thompson, W. H. Hoover, Edward Engle, George ©. Harris, John Meiners and S. W, Smith, and the stay-at-home members of the band. ‘The boys marched up the avenue at quick time, playing one of their best pleces of <tirring music, and when they reached 6th street the avenue was alight at the upper end, showing that they had been left behind. Director Churchill decided that it would not be best to make the boys march up the avenue under the circumstances, and he directed them to the house of Mr. J. H. Meiners, 707 M street, where a feast was spread in their honor.. This was in charge of a committee of ladies, consisting of Mrs. A. N. Thompson, Mrs. J. H. Meiners, Mrs. GG. Harris, Mrs. J. M. Edgar, Mrs. J. S. Van Fleet, Mrs Churchill and Mrs. Engle. ‘The boys brought with them souvenirs of their visit, and were all highly pleased with their trip. Each boy carried a minia- ture broom, while Major Chambers bore a full-fledged one. ‘also carried on his baton a bunch of ribbons that signified that the organization had been awarded first prize as the best field band at the en- campment. He had had presented to him as well a silver-tipped baton. A pleasant speech was made by Mr. A. N. Thompson, and then the boys retired to rest from their long journey. ——— Back to Their Posts. The quiet of Mount Pleasant was dis- turbed yesterday by the sudden appear- ance on the roads of a warlike array of men and horses and cannons, a regular flying column of invasion. But the troops were on a peaceful errand. They were the United States regulars on their way home from their march to Gettysburg, where they went to attend the dedication of the Buford monument on the Fourth of July. They were the band and troops A and H of the sixth cavalry from Fert Myer and Nght battery C of the third artillery from the Washington Barracks. They had heen for two weeks, and had enjoyed their ing immensely, though some of the older 4d spent years on the fron- tier declared that marching in the moist east is not at all as pleasant as in the arid west, where the rains are soaked up {nstantly ‘by the thirsty earth. The start ‘ds from Gettysburg on thus the ride to the posts lasted a part of five days. The last c was made at Norbeck, Md., from whi the troops started at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. ob) main hall, eu soldiers w and IN TAYLOR’S BEHALF. A Medical Expert Joins in the Appeal to the President. Dr. Irving C. Rosse, who was one of the witnesses for the defense in the case of Thomas J. Taylor, sentenced to be hanged on the 26th instant for wife murder, has Joined in the petition to the President for clemency. Dr. Rosse thus expresses him- self in the petition presented to the Presi- dent: “As one of the medical experts who tes- tified to the mental unsoundness of Taylor, I do not hesitate to renew and emphasize the opinion expressed on the occasion of the trial. While I have no criticism to make upon the legal manner in which the trial was conducted, I must say that the court and jury were misled by glaring misstatements in the medical testimony furnished by the prosecution, the most prominent of these being the assertion that there is no such thing as nocturnal epi- lepsy. Such a damaging statement being at variance with my own experience and to- tally opposed to that of the latest and best medical jurists who have written upon the subject, it is my opinion that the accused did not have a fair trial, from a medical point of view, and that his case calls for tigher legal intervention and executive clemency.” District Attorney Birney has received from the Attorney General the petition for clemency, and yesterday was busily en- gaged in preparing a statement of the case for the information of the President. It is not known, of course, what, if any, recom- mendation Mr. Birney will make to the President. It is believed, however, that he will either refuse to recommend clemency, cr will simply submit a statement of the evidence In the case without a_recom- mendation one way or the other. The pe- titio® will also be referred to Judge Cole, who presided at the trial. It is known that the judge is not an advocate of capital unishment, but it is not known whether e will make any recommendation in the case. ———— DESMOND AND DEMPSEY. How They Were Known to the Pro- prietor of a Baltimore Hotel. Since the acquittal of the alleged safe blowers and the release of “Billy” Wil- liams from jail, where he has been con- fined since his arrest and confession, the detectives have learned that Eddy Des- mond and “Jack” Dempsey, alias Coleman, alias Rodgers, spent three months in Bal- timore last summef. Some time in De- cember they returned to a hotel, where they had been stopping, and the proprietor says they had about $900, and said had- been in this city. That was t ; he saw of them. He says he knew “Jack” Dempsey as Murphy, and identified the picture shown him. Detective Horne, who interviewed the hotel man, did not have a picture of Desmond, but the hotel keeper said he had known Desmond as “Charlie. He told the officer that he had known both men in the west, and if they had done anything in Baltimore he would have given the information to the police. The police have not seen Eddie Desmond since his acquittal, and they think he has left the city. > CITIZENS. Several Important Matters Discussed at the Last Meeting. Vice President Mewshaw called the Ben- ning Citizens’ Association to order last evening at 8 o'clock. Mr. Keyser, chair- man of the entertainment committee, re- ported total receipts of the entertainment, $ss. total expenses, $20.54, leavi a net balance of $59.41, and on motion the re- port was accepted and the committee di charged. Under the head of unfinished business Mr. Mewskew called attention to the fact that cattle are being driven over the Ben- ring roads during the daytime, and that the Butchers’ Protective Association was about to ask the Commissioners to allow pro- miscuous driving of stock at all hours of the day and night. After tne matter was fully discussed the road committee was, or motion of Dr. Brayshaw, ordered to 3 the Commissioners at the earliest possible date and ask them to issue a perpetual order, forbidding the driving of stock over the road during the daytime, as it was dangerous to life and limb. Mr. J. W. France thought the Union stock yards folks should be thanked for al- lowing the association the free use of their office for so long a time, and on motion that gentleman was appointed to draft a suitable resolution of thanks. After pre- paring the resolution it was unanimously adopted. Dr. Brayshaw called the attention of the association to the fact that the public dump at the foot of Miller's hill, on the Benning road, is getting to be a nuisance, and on motion the road committee was in- structed to report the matter to Lieut. Heffner of the eighth precinct, and ask that the nuisance be abated. The monthly topic for discussion, “Pub- lic Sanitation,” was then taken up, and ap- propriate remarks were made by Messrs. Mewshaw, Leach, Boland, France, Bray- shaw and others, The vice president then announced that the topic for discussion this month would be “Child Life, With Special Reference to Kindergartens,” and on. motion the night of Juiy 30 was set aside for ‘ts discussion, The president of the association then called attention to the removal of bodies from Graceland cemetery. He said it was dangerous to health to have the process going on during this hot weather, and in view of the fact that residents along the road near the cemetery had asked for the assistance of the association in their at- tempt to get the Commissioners to order that no more bedies be removed until cold weather, he thought the Benning Associa- tion should co-operate, and on motion of Dr. Brayshaw, it was so ordered, and -the road committee was instructed to attend to the matter. The question of having a health com- mitiee was taken up and fully discussed, and on motion of Mr. France, a standing health. committee of three was ordered to be appointed by the president, after which the meeting adjourned. ee AMUSEMENTS, The lawn party given on the grounds of Gonzaga College for the benefit of the new hall still proves to be a great -attraction. The atterdance last evening was far be- yond that of any previous night and the financial success of the affair seems to be assured beycnd any pessibility of doubt. The Emmet Guard atterded last evening and.gaye an exhibition drill, which elicited great appleuse. They were escorted by the Gonzaga Drum Corps and made a most creditable showing. St. John’s Com- mandery, escorted by the Holy Name Drum Corps, w: also visitors last evening and gave an exhibition drill, which proved to be very entertaining. The feature of the¥| evening, however, was the grand cake walk by the members of the Southern Classical Cake Walking Society. It was given in the hall, which was crowded to the doors, and amid much enthusiasm the winners were declar-d and the prizes dis- tributed. All the booths kave been photo- graphed urder the supervision of Rev. Father Hughes, and their sale is already becoming one of the most lucrative fea- tures of the fete. Special programs have been arrarged for tonight, Thursday and Friday, and if the weather should continue to be Clear the best expectations of those interested in the affair will be fully real- ized. _ Mountain and Seaside Resorts.
